1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to Move to six presented by 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: Griffle's Splasma Donation Centers. D J. Buck back with you 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: here on a Thursday, we head towards a big football weekend. Buck, 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna do some digging today, try and figure some 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: things out while uh, we have some m vps that 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: are struggling, uh, at least at least recently struggling. We're 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: gonna see if we can get them right, figure out 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: what's wrong they're with those guys. Also gonna look at 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles and what they're doing defensively and uh, and 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: maybe explore a little bit of of some guys playing 12 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: a little bit better in their stat line. You know, 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: maybe maybe like I ont PTO type. You know, maybe 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: the stats aren't really impressive, but when you need to 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: have you know what I'm saying, Buck, they show up. Okay, 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: I get that, I understand that. All right, Yeah, there 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: you go. I'm over under two and a half baseball 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: references mixed in until the Padres are out of the playoffs. 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: That's just that's the way it's gonna be here. It 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: is let's start with some m vps we got to. 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: We've got four m vps coming off losses last week. 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Mahomes, and Brady. They all lost 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: in Week six, all of them looking to bounce back. 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: But instead of just looking at kind of that one 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: individual performance last week or why their teams lost, I 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: want to say if there's if there's anything different with 27 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: the with these guys individually, or is it a team 28 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: thing when we compare who they are now compared to 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: their m v P years, and I think Mahomes is 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: probably you know, he's still in line to be very 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: much in the MVP race. They just lost a tough 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: game against a really good Buffalo team. But let's start 33 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers first of all, buck Uh, they lost 34 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: last week. His numbers this year, Um, they're not nine touchdowns, 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: three picks yards, but they're not playing well offensively a 36 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: team sitting at three and three. This an Aaron Rodgers things, 37 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: a Packers thing, or both. It's a little bit of everything. Uh. 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: As Aaron Rodger has been an older quarterback, I believe 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: his skills are beginning to diminish a little bit, and 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: so he needs more support now than ever from the 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: people on the perimeter. But I think Aaron Rodgers kind 42 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: of told us what's really going on behind the scenes 43 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: when he kind of beg and pleaded for Matt the 44 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: floor to simplify things for the young guys. Hey, some 45 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: places we've got team guys doing the right thing, one guy, 46 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: not nine guys doing the right thing, two guys not. 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: So to me, it's really a crap for um him 48 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: to say, Hey, let's get everybody on the same page. 49 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: I would rather do fewer things really well than try 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: and do a bunch of different things and have some 51 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: mistakes and miscuse. So let's tighten it up, skinny up 52 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: the playbook, and let's see if we can get our 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: guys to play more efficiently. Let's be faster, let's kind 54 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: of get back to playing Packers football. What was interesting, though, 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: is the coach didn't appear to be in line with 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: that assessment, and so somewhere down the line, Aaron Rodger 57 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: Matalafleur need to have a conversation to see how is 58 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: the best way to get this offense going. For me, 59 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: I tend to lean on the quarterback because the quarterback 60 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: is on the field. He sees the reaction of those 61 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: guys in the huddle. I would lean towards Aaron Rodgers 62 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: when he said, we need to simplify this thing because 63 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: there's too many bus I know Matt la Floor has 64 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: a big cause heat in a big playbook that he 65 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: wants to get to. But it doesn't matter. If you 66 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: can't get the basics right, you can't start to do 67 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: the other stuff. You better focus on the basics. So 68 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: scaling down might help the backers played better. You know, 69 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: there's an interesting name out there that hasn't really been 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: discussed in terms of a trade potential. I know everybody's 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: kind of waiting to see what O'Dell does and where 72 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna sign and who can get his services coming 73 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: down the stretches. He's recovering from that knee injury. But 74 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. You know, if it wasn't 75 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: for the connection with the la Fleur's, you got Matt 76 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: Lafleur head coach in Green Bay. You've got his brother Mike, 77 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: who's the offensive coordin with the Jets. It seems like 78 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the coaching staff just completely they've fallen out of favor, uh, 79 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: fallen out of love. I should say with Denzel Mims, 80 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: they don't really have any plan for him. He's been 81 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: he hasn't been active at all for the Jets this year. 82 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: But I look at the Packers Buck and I look 83 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: at their weapons, and I think, man, you take Denzel Mims, 84 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: if he's got his head straight and his size, speed, 85 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: combination and uh, some of the things he can do 86 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: down the field, winning some of those contested catches, they 87 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: don't really right. Have anybody that scares you right now? 88 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance if if he's right, 89 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: I think Denzel Mims is a lot of ability. He 90 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: could he could give them a little something. But I 91 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: just don't know about the connection there. When you have 92 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: the brothers, and if one La Flour doesn't like him, 93 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm guessing the other La Fleur probably wouldn't like him 94 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: as well. But I look at this and you could 95 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: say a small decline in Aaron Rodgers. But I watched 96 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: the video and there's not a whole lot happening. It's 97 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: different than watching Denver. When you watch Denver, you'll see 98 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: guys open and you see Russell can't get him the ball. 99 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking all three levels where he has opportunities in 100 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's not delivering the ball, he's not seeing it. 101 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: I don't see that same issue with Aaron Rodgers. I 102 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: freeze it when he gets to the top of his drop, 103 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: and I just don't see a lot of places to 104 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: go with the football to get me excited. They have 105 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: a tough time creating separation, and that was a big 106 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: issue coming into the year. You wanted with the white 107 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: House be good enough to be able to get it done. Now, 108 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: part of us thought that they were gonna run the 109 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: football and said they were gonna be able to create 110 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: separation in different ways. Meaning the running game is so 111 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: effective that when you run play action you have guys 112 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: running uh wide open across the field on deep crosses 113 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: and po rousing those things. They haven't been able to 114 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: put that together. And so when I look at this team, 115 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: Matt la Flour has to help the Whiteouts create space. 116 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: So some of that is motion, some of that is shifting. 117 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Some of that is putting them in bunches and tight 118 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: stack formations where they can't get pressed and you kind 119 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: of give them easy releases. This is a year where 120 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: the first three years have been pretty easy for Matt 121 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: la fleur. You've been able to kind of skate and 122 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: get the championship games and do all those things. This 123 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: is a year where he's really going to have to coach. 124 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: We'll get a chance to see what kind of offense 125 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: of mind Matt la fleu is based on how he 126 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: makes these adjustments to get this offense back on track 127 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: this season. Now we switch gears, we get to the 128 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: ravens Lamar Jackson. They're coming off a loss to the Giants. 129 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Man that Giants still one of the great stories where 130 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: they are sitting at five and one. Um you look 131 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: at at Lamar's year, I like to look and see 132 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: what he's projected for, what he's on pace for with 133 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: what he's done thus far. He's on pace for thirty 134 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, thirty passing yards, seventeen picks, which is a 135 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: big number for him, turnover wise, and then rushing wise, 136 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: is on pace to go over a thousand yards. So 137 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: he's still playing, you know, darn near an m v 138 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: P level when you when you think about what he 139 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: means to that team. He is their offense. The offense 140 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: is still gone through the tight end. Mark Andrews having 141 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: a really good year, but they're sitting here three and 142 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: three now. The division has not been great, so they're 143 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: tied for first place with Cincinnati at three and three, 144 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: a point differential their plus sevent team, so just you know, 145 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: a little bit above average. But when you look at them, 146 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: is there anything from last week's game that would scare you? 147 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: Is there anything you can take away from what the 148 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: Giants did to them? My biggest takeaways, Lamar Jackson has 149 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: to make sure you taste care of ball in the 150 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. This was the game that the Baltimore Ravens 151 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: gave away, and so I think the multiple Ravens need 152 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: to kind of reassess how they go about doing their 153 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: business when it comes to their offensive style, of their 154 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: defense style, and they got to make sure that they're 155 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: always calling the game to fit the vision of what 156 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: this team is going to become, how they want to play. Meeting. 157 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: If you are a run heavy team and you believe 158 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: that your best chances of success is running anybody and everybody, 159 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: including the quarterback, well at the end of games it 160 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: still has to be about the running game. I don't 161 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: think that Greg Roman and this staff can try and 162 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: appease the public and saying, hey, we gotta throw the 163 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: ball over the yard and do those things. I also 164 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: think for Lamar Jackson, he has to under saying the 165 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: strength and weaknesses of his game and understand where we 166 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: at in terms of the situation and circumstances of the game. 167 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: There's certain parts of the game where you're like, hey, 168 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: you know what, a punt isn't bad here, Let's just 169 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: punt play defense, don't turn it over. And so what 170 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: I want to see from the m v P is 171 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: smarter decisions, better overall field for the position. When it 172 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: comes to managing the game, the talent stuff is all. 173 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: There is more of the stuff that we talked about. 174 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: The high level guys, they play the game in slow motion. 175 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: I want to see Lamar Jackson do some of that. 176 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a excellent points book. Um, you know, 177 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: to me, protecting the football is just the key there. 178 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: If he can protect the football, they should be in 179 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: pretty good shape going forward. All Right, my homes last week, 180 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean, gosh, she's through for had the two touchdowns, 181 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: but the two picks and they're lost to Buffalo. Wanna 182 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: put up twenty points on the season. I mean, he's 183 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: still having a masterful year. Seventeen hundred thirty six yards, 184 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: seventeen touchdowns, four picks. He's even ran for a hundred 185 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: thirteen yards so far. They played the Niners Week seven. 186 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: I guess just the maybe just the point situation coming 187 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: off last week? You tribute that the Buffalo or is 188 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: there anything here that's concerning with Casey Oh? No, Buffalo 189 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: played a good girl, good game. They're very solid on defense. 190 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: But we talked about doing being solid. We talked about 191 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: the ability to really exhibit the paces and discipline necessary 192 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: to knock off a Kanzi. The Chiefs team that doesn't 193 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: have a true vertical threat. For Vat Mahomes, I think 194 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: what he's transitioning to is learning. I went from being 195 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: a team that was running a fast break into y 196 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: M c A to THEW We're playing half court basketball, 197 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: and so because of that is going to require me 198 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: to play a little differently. I'm going to have to 199 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: take the early checkdowns. I'm gonna have to take some 200 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: of these early quick throws early in the drive to 201 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: be able to make sure that we stay on schedule. 202 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: We can't fall behind the chains too much. Because I 203 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: don't necessarily have a playmaker like Tyree Hill, to erase 204 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the mistake. And so as I get more comfortable, would 205 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: you do Smith Schuster and Miko Harman and some of 206 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: the other guys that are rotating in. I have to 207 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: make sure that I can trust those guys on short 208 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: and intermediate rouse because the most important part of our 209 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: approach is staying on schedule and avoiding the third and 210 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: long situation. Yeah, I'm not really worried about him. You know, 211 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: interesting nugget here with the Chiefs, they're the only team 212 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: with a positive point differential in the a f C West. 213 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: All that talk we had about the a f C 214 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: West and what that was gonna look like. They're plus 215 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: thirty on the year. The Chargers are sitting at four 216 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: and two, but because of that blowout with the Jags 217 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: there their minus eleven and the point differential Denver's minus eight. 218 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: The Raiders are minus five. Um So, anyways, the Chiefs 219 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: are gonna be fine. They're gonna be okay, They're gonna 220 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: be standing there at the end. They're gonna be in 221 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: the mix. So I'm not too worried about Patrick Mahomes. 222 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: It's a different mix, it looks a little different, but man, 223 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: it still goes through Kelsey, and everybody has a game 224 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: plan for what to do against Kelsey. Nobody can stop him. 225 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: So you know, I don't really don't worry spend much 226 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: time worrying about Andy Reid patrickhomes in Kansas City Chiefs. 227 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: All Right, Tom Brady um this year UH sitting the 228 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: number sixteen fifty two yards. He's got eight touchdowns a pick. 229 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: Last week they lost against the Steelers. They only put 230 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: up eighteen points forty three in a touchdown. This is 231 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: just the offensive line issues are there. I don't think 232 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: you see a real dynamic, explosive passing attack Buck when 233 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: you watch this team. I don't think he's in any 234 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: kind of rhythm. He doesn't look comfortable that of all 235 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: these guys, that's the one Tampa's the team I would 236 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: be most concerned about. Look, I am concerned. I am 237 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: concerned that the first raising is going to spill over 238 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. We saw the testy, intense conversation that he 239 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: had with the offensive line. We've seen the lack of 240 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: execution from this offense. Outside and particularly the wide receivers 241 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: have just not been on the same page. Personally, I 242 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,479 Speaker 1: believe this team is mismatch in terms of their personnel 243 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: in the scheme, the personnel that they have, our big 244 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: boy playmakers on the outside, guy when Julio Jones, Mike Kevans, 245 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: guys that are big, physical one to use this side 246 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: as to create favorable one on one opportunities down to field. Well, 247 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: when I look at the way that this team needs 248 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: to play, Tom Brady is very comfortable and a quick 249 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: rhythm pass game ball gets out here, has a bunch 250 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: of jitterbugs making plays and so until that kind of 251 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: marries up in a line, man, I have a hard 252 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: time seeing this team beyond the five squad. Yeah, I'm 253 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: just pulling up some of the numbers here too, and 254 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: they're averaging twenty points a game. I mean, they're way 255 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: down the list here. Just have not been productive, haven't 256 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: been explosive, and Brady doesn't look comfortable. I don't know 257 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: how else to say that. Just it's concerning there with 258 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: what you've seen in Tampa Bay. And you can't you 259 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: can't discount the injuries they've had up front along the 260 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: offensive line is playing a major factor in this whole thing. 261 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: Um as well. All Right, we're gonna talk about the 262 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: Philadelphi Eagles in just a moment here. This is a team. Defensively, 263 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: they've been outstanding. They're taking the football away, they leave 264 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: the league and take the ways. We're gonna jump in 265 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: and uh and try and see if we can figure 266 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: out what is working for them defensively. We're gonna do that. 267 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Right after this, I'll take a little break here, we'll 268 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: jump into some Eagles cancer screen You can help prevent 269 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: and detect a number of cancers early, which often means 270 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: less intense and more successful treatment. If you don't know 271 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: where you can get screened, the NFL and the American 272 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: Cancer Society can help visit NFL dot com, slash crucial 273 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: Catch or text catch to six three five six three 274 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: five to find your local cancing cancer screening center and 275 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: additional screening resources. All right, let's talk about the Phildelphiagles 276 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: here for a minute. Here about the only undefeated team left. 277 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,359 Speaker 1: I feel like Jalen Hurts we've given him as flowers. 278 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: We talked about the weapons they have, the run game, 279 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: the offensive line, everything they're doing offensively has been great. 280 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: But defensively, this is a team that's got the most 281 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: takeaways in the NFL. UH, They're they're differential is ridiculous 282 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: right now. Their turnover differential is is, I believe best 283 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: in the league plus twelve on the season. Um, what 284 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: have you seen from them? And I'll get and I 285 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: went back and watched all their their interceptions and was 286 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: trying to find something I could take from that. But 287 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: what what do you see from this group? So I 288 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: had a chance a couple of weeks ago to get 289 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: up close and personal look at the Philadelphia Eagles defense, 290 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you, DJ, They're built the right way. 291 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: I know people give them a hard time because they 292 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: don't commit big dollars or high draft picks the linebackers. 293 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: But this team is built on the front as the foundation. 294 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: Their front line is terrific, and then they invest in 295 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: the back end because they have cover corners and safeties 296 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: that can make place. And what happens is when those 297 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: two things are working together, meaning you're dominating in the trenches, 298 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: so you're forcing long yarded situations. You now get to 299 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: have fun on second and third and long dolling up 300 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: pressure stunts, games, movement at the line of scrimmage where 301 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: now the quarterback is uncomfortable and what they've assembled is 302 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: really a handful the ball hawks in the back end 303 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: who do a really good job of seeing the ball 304 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: and going to get the ball. And what's unique about 305 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: this is last year when they started Johnathan again, it 306 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: was a re react, let's play zone, let's keep our 307 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: eyes on it. They've now mixed in some man to 308 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: man stuff to go with their zone. So now they're 309 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: a complete defense that really has the entire toolbox available 310 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: Jonathan gann and just decides which tool to use versus 311 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: which team, whoever, and whatever he chooses to use. It 312 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: has been working because this team is taking the ball 313 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: the way into doing it because the front to back 314 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: in are really tied together. Well, the worst thing you 315 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: can be in life is lukewarm, right, you want to 316 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: be hot or you want to be cold. You want 317 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: to be all in with with one approach, you're all 318 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: in with another approach. I think what's fastening about the 319 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: Eagles when you look at it. I was looking up, Okay, 320 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: the number five man pressures, six man pressures, seven man pressures, 321 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: five and six man pressures. They're there in the middle 322 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: of the league. There's nothing that really stands out to you, 323 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: but they're they're getting home with four a ton. When 324 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: you go back and watch all the interceptions, you'll see 325 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: that rush and four still hitting the quarterback and that's 326 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: led to some of these interceptions down the field. But 327 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: this was the interesting one. Buck seven man pressures their 328 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: second in the league in seven man pressures, So they've 329 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: done that seven point one percent of the time. So 330 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: in other words, they're not they're getting you with four 331 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: and then it's not, you know, a five man or 332 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, bam, they're sending the whole 333 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: kitchen sink at you. Uh, and so that could be 334 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: a little bit jarring. I think when you're a quarterback, 335 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: you kind of get seeing all these bodies and coverage 336 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, here they call there, they're 337 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: coming after you a full four. So I think they've 338 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: done a really nice job of of being aggressive, like 339 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: ultra aggressive at times. And the other thing when you 340 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: go watch all these clips, I don't know if Darius 341 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: Slander Darius Slay has been in the Pro Bowl when 342 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: Darius Slay has a good reputation, but I don't feel 343 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: like he gets talked about enough in terms of putting 344 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: him up there in the very top upper echelon of 345 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: corners in this league. When he gets eyes on the football, 346 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: he can find it and played as well as any 347 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: corner in the league. And I mean I really believe that. 348 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, if there's many I'd take over him. 349 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: He's playing great, he's playing I mean, look, you can 350 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: make the case he's the best corner in football right now. 351 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: Washington lock up. Justin Jefferson, very early in the year 352 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: watching against the Jaguars not only played a great man 353 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: to man but also have excellent eyes and zone. He's 354 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: continued to do that throughout the time. Think what you 355 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: brought up is really interesting, DJ, because that mix of 356 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: four man pressure with seven man pressure is as drastic 357 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: and as stark a contrast as you can get when 358 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: it comes to how you call the defense. That seven 359 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: man pressure is basically cover zero blitz peel. You know 360 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: we're coming. We're not hiding it, we're bringing it, and 361 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: we're saying that your four eligibles can't beat our guys, 362 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: and they're bringing the heat and because of that, they're 363 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: able to do it. So nice combination of those simulated 364 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: pressures with all our pressures to really play games with 365 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback and all of it is working because they're 366 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: dominated the early downs, and they're making you have to 367 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: go against what they want you to face on those 368 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: money downs on third and Law. Yeah, and they've got 369 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: waves We've talked about it before. Waves of those defensive 370 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: linemen they can throw at you. They're getting some interior 371 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: push um. And then on the back end again, it 372 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: seems like they always have one free defender and they 373 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: are able to get eyes on the cornerback and just 374 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: making things happen. I mean, it's it's it's really a 375 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: fun thing to watch what they're doing. And they've put 376 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: they've laid some traps to you'll see corners land traps 377 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: and falling off one and drop them back in and 378 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: getting picked. So a really nice job by Jonathan Ganning 379 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: and company how they're designing that. And these guys are 380 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: playing really really hard. All right, buck, we're gonna step aside, 381 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: take a quick break here. When we come back, we're 382 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: gonna talk about some players who might not have the 383 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: stats that jump off the page, but their game is 384 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: jumping off the screen. We'll get to that right after this. 385 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: It's time to show your good side. Presented by Griffle's 386 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Plasma Donation Centers. We're looking at some impactful players that 387 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: might not have the stats that while you're buck but 388 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: when we get a chance to dig into the video 389 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: and look at how this season is gone, I think 390 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 1: they've been pretty darn impactful. You want to lead us 391 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: off here, who do you who do you watch? Who 392 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: do you see that doesn't have the stats but has 393 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: the game? Look, I'm gonna come off last weekend have 394 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: an opportunity to watch the Jaguars against the Indianapolis Colts. 395 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce stood out to me and I knew the 396 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: rookie playmaker was outstanding athlete again who has size, speed, 397 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: outstanding leaf and ability. But what has really been impressive 398 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: dj He not only can make plays outside the numbers 399 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: on vertical rouse, but he's showing a knack for being 400 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: able to get inside the numbers and do some of 401 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: the things that complete receivers do. And it's interesting because 402 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: Frank Wright talked about this. He said, Look, it's one 403 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: thing to get a big toall receiver that can make 404 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: the plays vertically. It's another thing when you can take 405 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: that guy and put him in the slot and have 406 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: them do crosses and dig rowseing in breaking things in traffic. 407 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce has already showing the ability to do that. 408 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: It is making you know, the Indianapolis Coals have a 409 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: nice tandem when you have Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce 410 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: being able to get it done. One of the reasons 411 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: why Maddie Ice is beginning to play better for the 412 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Coast. I'm curious on this one. The late great 413 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson. I know he's Vincent Jackson was taller, a 414 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: little bit bigger, but you see somewhere he's seeing them 415 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: up close to him in person. I want to see 416 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: the Colts the day after Christmas, but that's when I 417 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: see how he's playing, how physical he is. He might 418 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 1: be a little bit of Vincent Jackson. Yeah, he's not 419 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: quite as super eyes as Vincent Jackson was, but it's 420 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: a nice calm. And the reason why it is because 421 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson was terrific as a number two receiver, but 422 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: then it had an opportunity to be a number one 423 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: receiver in Tampa later in his career. But it's the 424 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: same thing. Big body, physical, can win the balls down 425 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: the field. But he learned how to do the inbreaking 426 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: stuff and we had a big receiver received as athletic 427 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: and has size. When they can do multiple things from 428 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: multiple spots, it really makes it challenging because who do 429 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: you match up on that player? He's too big for 430 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: the nickel, he's too athletic for the big corner that 431 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: you want to put on him. It really makes him 432 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: a night a nightmare to match up with. It's a 433 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: huge advantage for the offense. Yeah, it's a good one. 434 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to another rookie. You want the rookie 435 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: and Alex Paris, I'm gonna go to the corner and 436 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: Sauce Garter and look, I Sauce Gardner is the top 437 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: rookie in my first quarter rankings in terms of how 438 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: he's playing. But the stats, if you just you know, 439 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: flew in from another planet. Just look at the stat 440 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: line like he has one interception? Okay, you know how 441 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: how how good is this guy planning? This is a position. 442 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 1: You cannot just judge it off of how many times 443 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: uh you pick off a pass? This guy is play 444 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: and lights out. You watch tape each and every week. 445 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: It's not only the the awareness, the instincts, bucket, they're 446 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: they're down inside the twenty. They try and hit him 447 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: with a double move. He doesn't take the cheese. He's 448 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: playing like a veteran. One of the stats that does 449 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: show up on the sheet is, Look, he's only got 450 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: the one interception, but he's allowed four catches this year, 451 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: and I think some of those might even be kind 452 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: of iffy. That's always a little bit of a subjective 453 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: stat because they play a good bit of zone. He's 454 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: got nine pass breakups. So you've given up four catches 455 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: and you've broken up nine balls. That's a pretty good 456 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: ratio there for Sauce Gardener. I just I know Tarik 457 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: woone is playing his butt off. I'm excited to see 458 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: him this week when they play the Chargers, when Seattle 459 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: comes to Los Angeles. Has got the four interceptions, and um, 460 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: he's been impressive. But man, I watched sauce Gardener, and 461 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: I really don't care about the difference between the picks 462 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: between these two guys. Sauce Gardener's playing lights out corner. Yeah, 463 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: he is a lights out corner and DJ one of 464 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: the things that you like about him when you saw 465 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: him at Cincinnati. Look, the nickname is fantastic, but to 466 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: carry the nickname, you not only have to have a 467 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: lot of confidence. You better have a lot of skill, 468 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: and when you watched him on tape, he does have 469 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: a lot of skill. He can press, he can play off, 470 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: he has great instincts and awareness, and this defensive scheme 471 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: that he's playing in on the Robert Slid is the 472 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: perfect match for him. His ability to be able to 473 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: see the ball, clue the ball, while also having plenty 474 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: of opportunities to go up and put his hands on 475 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers at the line of scrimmage is exactly what 476 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: you want a high end corner to be able to do. 477 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: And so yeah, coming off a weekend which he was 478 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: able to walk out of the stadium with the cheesehead, 479 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: he deserves a little kudos for his work. Still a 480 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: bonus here, give me one more quickly. Let's just get 481 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: one more guy. Maybe the stats aren't there, but the 482 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: game is. How about Noah Brown. I feel like nor 483 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: Brown for the Dallas Cowboys did a great job of 484 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: holding it down while Michael Gallup was away uh still 485 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: coming back from his injury, nor Brown came in and 486 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: when Ceedee Lamb couldn't get it done, may have had 487 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: some issues with the drops. Nora Brown made a ton 488 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: of plays for Cooper rush. And it's not about the 489 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: stat line. It's about the effectiveness and it's about when 490 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: he was able to make those plays. Norah Brown stepped 491 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: up in some key moments, made some plays. And now 492 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: when you think about the Cowboys, Dak Prescott coming back, 493 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: being able to have a real, a legitimate three receivers 494 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: set with guys that are all viable options, Ceedee Lamb, 495 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, Norah Brown, it puts enough stress on the 496 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: defense where you gotta deal with Tony Poli, Ezekiel Elliott, 497 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: but then you gotta deal with those guys. Nora Brown 498 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: has proven that he can win one on ones. I 499 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: think the Dallas offense is more dangerous, more dynamic because 500 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: Noah Brown has really exceeded expectations as a number three receiver. 501 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: Now he's tough, dude, man, physical, tough, competitive. I like 502 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: the way his game continues to grow and evolve, no question, 503 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: that's a good one there. I'll give you one more 504 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: here and let's go to the quarterback and Daniel Jones. 505 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: He's got five touchdowns, two picks, He's only got a 506 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: thousand yards. He's on pace for under three thousand passing yards. 507 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: He's on pacing fourteen touchdown six picks and he said, 508 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: there go, Oh my gosh, they're they're they're a mess. 509 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: They need to find another quarterback. Daniel Jones has helped 510 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: give them a chance to win each and every week. 511 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: He's making those one or two plays and to make 512 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: he's helped cover up for some of their issues that 513 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: they've had in certain parts of their offensive line. Um 514 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: to me, I think he's played winning football and I 515 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: don't care what the stats say. Those big moments you 516 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: gotta have it. Whether he does it with his legs, 517 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: whether he does it with his arm, he's been good. 518 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: He's done a much better job of taking care of 519 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: the football too. So I think Daniel Jones is playing 520 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: winning football. I don't care what the stats say, but 521 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: you're winning football. And there's something to that. DJ and 522 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: I know, Uh. Evaluating quarterbacks is very subjective. Some people 523 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: like the arm trade, the physical traits. Some people like 524 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: to look at the stat line. At the end of 525 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: the day, your quarterback needs to help your team win, 526 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: and in winning it may not always be something that 527 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: they do physically to make it happen. It might be 528 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: a management situation, how they manage the cloud manage situation, 529 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: give the team into the right play call, understand where 530 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: you need to set the protection, and those things. When 531 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: I look at the Giants, they're not a dynamic squad, 532 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: but they're an effective squad because they're learning how to 533 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: play winning football. They've mastered the art playing winning football 534 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: because they're not messing get up. And I believe Daniel 535 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: Jones has made a huge leap in what I call 536 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: this competitive maturity. He is doing the things that great 537 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks do to help their team win games. And so no, 538 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: it's not flashy, it is not going to be something 539 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: that we talked about all the time on TV. But 540 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: it's winning. And because he's able to lead his team 541 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: to the winner circle, I think he's earned a lot 542 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: of currency in that locker room that his guys know 543 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones will find a way for us to 544 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: win games. That to me, that's invaluable. Yeah, I think 545 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: you find a way in the off season now to 546 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: continue to build around him. They've done a nice job 547 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: of really trying to invest in this defense over the 548 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: last few years over a couple of different regimes. I 549 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: like what they've done. Their defense is playing at a 550 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: high level, doing a great job. Offensive line. Left half 551 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: Wanrew Thomas is playing well. They invest in Evan Neil 552 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: could get him up and go on and playing well. 553 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: They still got to put some players around him. Say, 554 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: Quan has been kind of the lone playmaker for this team, 555 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: adding some dudes on the outside. And you saw that 556 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: when when you look at Joe Shane, our buddy when 557 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: he was in Buffalo. They got a year seeing Josh 558 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: Allen operate, and they went out, made the bold moves, 559 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: bring in Stefon Diggs and and it really upgraded everything. 560 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: That's gonna be their challenge there in New York. But 561 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: hats off to them. They are five and one. All right, 562 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: buck the time that we all look forward to.
