1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Hey, what's calling? Everybody? Welcome in another move the sticks

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: here on a Monday time. Brett Louis here with our

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: former NFL scounseled draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks. Ready

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: to rock in a roll here for you a little

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: bit of that kind of hype hangover here on the

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Monday following Sunday night. In the most hyped game I

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: think ever in the regular season. Did it look up

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: to the building? Well, first of all, I saw Adele

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: song cranking in my head, but no, I thought I

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of a little bit of a

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: slow game. Then as we got to the second half, like, okay,

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: this is pretty funy, it was pretty fun. Yeah. I

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: had a great appreciation for it because I like a

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: defensive slug festor thought it was a great technical game.

15
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: So I enjoyed it. Well, let's kick it off right there,

16
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: Jets Titans close second on how we were gonna lead

17
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: this this show off here, but we are gonna beginning

18
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: the Big three with the Patriots send the Bucks. Tom

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Brady's first ever game not to let stadium in the

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: visitor's locker room. Oh boy. Coming down to the end

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: of Lavante David right, their biggest player of the game

22
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: for the Bucks defense third and three deflections setting up

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the fifty six yarder from Nick Fuck with the dawn

24
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady wins in Foxboro. You coached Tom Brady

25
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: patice for twenty years, but this is the first time

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: you want to head against him in a game. What

27
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: was the experience like, going, Look, we want against Tom

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Brady every day, every day in practice defensively, so it's

29
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: like we've never seen tom Brady before. Was the expensive

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: coaching gets him in a game? Any different? And they're

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: a good football to him. He's a great quarterback. And

32
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: I think that's all goes out saying I would say

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: so much is made of our relationship, and um, you know,

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: as I said earliest week, you know, from a player's standpoint,

35
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: you just expect the coach to give you everything he's

36
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: gotten as a I'm sure as a player that's what

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: he was hoping for me. But um, nothing's really accurate

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: that I ever see. It's all kind of you know,

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: definitely doesn't come from my personal feelings or beliefs. And

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: I let of respect for him as a coach and

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of respect for this organization and um,

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: you know all the different people here that try to

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: make it successful. I mean, were we not scrutinizing like

44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: every piece of the interactions that Brady was having with teammates,

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: with his coach, like ends up wasn't his best night.

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean that we saw me. Is that basically your

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: takeaway from this Bucks offense? You know, it was interesting

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of take away from the big picture from this game.

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: I thought when you looked at both defenses, both defenses

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: met or exceeded expectation. I would say the Patriots offense

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: and what you expected to see from them, I thought

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: they were at or above that level. Really, the Tampa

53
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: offense was kind of the most disappointing aspect of this

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: whole game. And it wasn't just Tom Brady. He missed

55
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: some throws, no doubt, have five drops in this game,

56
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: including one at the end to Antonio Brown, which would

57
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: have been a signature kind of a walk off winner.

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: There was a beautiful ball from Brady, but I just

59
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they ever really got a rhythm or

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: found uh, you know, getting in sync. It just it

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: was a little bit off. And I know that they're

62
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: very fortunate to get out of there with a win.

63
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of things from the Bucks offense

64
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: that were kind of interesting to me. Wherever was Chris Godwin,

65
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, arguably, you know, I got it, took him

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: in there. I really felt like Jalen Mills was lined

67
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: up over top of them, whether it was man or zone,

68
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: just kind of lined up over top of them for

69
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: most of this game, and we didn't really hear from him.

70
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: And then where were the Bucks offense have been without

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette? But he was He was really good

72
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: on the ground against the Patriots, making some big plays

73
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: in that aspect of the game. So those two things

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: within the Bucks offense I thought were kind of interesting.

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: And uh and I know we'll get into that, but

76
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: it was that part of the Patriots defensive game plan

77
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: which was definitely going to be one of the more

78
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: scrutinized pieces of this game. You know, I think real

79
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Beliship god a great game plan for Tom Brady. Haven't

80
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: known to our Brady for so long. He obviously understood

81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: what made him take They change coverage, they mix in

82
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of different things, but in the pages also

83
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: did what they do. They played a lot of man

84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: and man, they locked up, they played their guys versus

85
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks and had a lot of success. And so

86
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: this to me, for the Patriots was probably the best

87
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: that they could play and they did it on a

88
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: big stage, which is why we were talking about him today.

89
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: One thing I would say that maybe the one mistake

90
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, they didn't do it much for when

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: they went cover zero Tom Brady. I don't know if

92
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: there's many instances of him not dialing it up in

93
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: defeating covers zero. He's gonna see it every single time.

94
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna find the matchup he wants. He's going to

95
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: deliver the football accurately. So I'm sure Steve Belichick would

96
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: like to have that call back in this game. But overall, yeah,

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, I think the Patriots executed really,

98
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, pretty well on both sides of the ball.

99
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: But you come back to the end of it, it's

100
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: a loss. You didn't score many points. You go spend

101
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars in free agency, I mean, like expectations.

102
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I know, look, Mac Jones was did some really good

103
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: things and played well and was efficient, did what was

104
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: asked of him. They gotta score more points. That that

105
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: defense for the Bucks, missing all the pieces in the

106
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: secondary that they had, they just didn't generate any explosive place. Well,

107
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: and that's the thing like that, You're not gonna run

108
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: up against the Bucks defense weekend in week out, clearly

109
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: one of the very best, if not the best in

110
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: football and defending the run. But when the Patriots can't run,

111
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 1: then what, Bucky? What are the answers at that point?

112
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answers are because what you

113
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: do have as a very slow team. We saw the

114
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: Patriots whenever the Patriots in up, when we see every

115
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: trick play known to man, we saw two trick plays.

116
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: We saw a bunch of different things They're trying to

117
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: do to create explosive plays. They just don't have enough

118
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: explosive players. And ultimately, in this league, it comes down

119
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: to that do you have guys who can generate explosive

120
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: plays and they don't have enough, which is why every

121
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: game is a slug fest like this last one. And look,

122
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned the three hundred million dollars. It was talked

123
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: about often during the broadcast last night, and rightly so.

124
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: And look, I think we all know that in free agency,

125
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: you gotta overpay to get guys, right, and so whether

126
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: you overpaid to get John new Smith and Hunter Henry,

127
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: they just haven't felt like a big enough part of

128
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: the game plan to warrant that they're just missing the

129
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: dynamic element. That's that's what dynamic element on the outside

130
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: as well. Those deep throws will get into with Mac

131
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Jones here and just event But let's get the game

132
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: two of our big three as we do here every Monday,

133
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: all right, game to Cardinals, Rams right next door here

134
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: at so Far Stadium and NFC West showdown unbeaten teams here,

135
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals and Rams, two of the top three scoring offenses

136
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: in football, but it was Arizona proving the more potent attack,

137
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: and this one scored on all five trips into the

138
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: red zone. And they now put up thirty or more

139
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: and all four games this season and become the first

140
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: to throw up thirty on the Rams defense in a

141
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: calendar year twenty the final there, and take a look

142
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: at what Kyler Murray has been guiding this offense to.

143
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Talking about teams that have started four and oh that

144
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: have put up thirty plus and four hundred plus total

145
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: yards each of their first four that's a good news

146
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: bad news situation. You win the MDP, you'll lose the

147
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So I guess that means the Cardinals are

148
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: getting to the playoffs here. But Bucky, what have you

149
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: noticed from Kyler Murray and in particular his command of

150
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: this Cliff Kingsbury offense here in your three? Well, obviously,

151
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: like when I think about this offense, I think about

152
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury matching over Calamuri and trying to put together

153
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: an explosive attack. And it is all that, and it's

154
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: all about Cala Murray. This offense runs through him his

155
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: big time ability as a thrower plus electric running skills.

156
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: He always gives them a way out. But this is

157
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: fast break basketball. They are taking it up. It kind

158
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: of reminds me of remember those old Loyola marymouch one

159
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: thirty on the board. This is how the Arizona Cardinals play.

160
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: When when you sit out in to Washington play, you

161
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: can't get up to go get a drink because they're

162
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: already in the end zone. This is, I mean a

163
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: tremendous pace that they play at and because they're able

164
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: to run the ball, and the deepest is getting just

165
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: enough stops to play. That is the key for me.

166
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: This is a balanced Cardinals attack, and he ended up

167
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: running the ball more than they actually threw it in

168
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: this game. And when they did run it, Bucky, they

169
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: were running it against five and six man boxes. But

170
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: if you're the Rams, how else do you defend this

171
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense when you've got that threat on the perimeter

172
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: from A J. Green, DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore, Christian Kirk.

173
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Chase Edmonds and this Cardinals run game at

174
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: eight explosive runs. They had five combined and each of

175
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: their first three games. So it kind of goes back

176
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: DJ to that point you're making about how to defend

177
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You're willing to give up those seven and

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: eight yard runs, But man, the Cardinals were getting those

179
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: at a very frequent pace, and they were going they

180
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: were stick movers. I was, I was thinking of a

181
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: few good men. Remember when Colonel Jessup says, you want

182
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: to investigate me, roll the dice and take your chances.

183
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: You want to play man to man against me and

184
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: leave these guys all alone, go ahead, take your shot. Uh,

185
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: teams aren't gonna do that, and you have to be patient.

186
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: If you're the Arizona Cardinals, and that's what they did.

187
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I flip it over to the other side though, for

188
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: that Cardinals defense, because I went to watch the tape

189
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: and see, Okay, you know what have they done? This

190
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Ram's offense has been so good. Is there's something unique

191
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: or creative or how how they bore this group down

192
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and and really they put a shell over the top

193
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: of the defense. There was really one opportunity for a

194
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: deep ball Byron Murphy recovers and makes an unbelievable play

195
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: to pick it off. But outside of that, really it

196
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: was just Matthew Stafford missing throws. There were some intermediate

197
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: shots that were there. He was pulling the string on it.

198
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: They had, they had steam balls, they had in cuts.

199
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: This one down here at towards the end of the

200
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: game would have prolonged this game. Just it wasn't a clean,

201
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: crisp game from Matthew Stafford, which is gonna happen. You're

202
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: not gonna make it to the whole season without one

203
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: of these. This was this was the one, all right,

204
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: first loss in the season for the Ram Cardinals. Now

205
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: sitting at four and o first place in the NFC West.

206
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Let's move the game three here on the Big three

207
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: and we'll go down to Arlington, Texas Panthers and Cowboys

208
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: and for this one, man, what a difference a run

209
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: game and and improved defense is made for the Cowboys

210
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: this season season high two or forty five rushing yards

211
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: for Dallas on a Panthers defense that came in ring

212
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: number one in terms of yards allowed per game. And man,

213
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: that third quarter was really huge for the Cowboys. Three

214
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: touchdown third quarter that really separated what was a close

215
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: game early on. And we gotta start right with what

216
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: it comes back to, d J. That's the run game

217
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Yeah, and it was look Zekelliot's gonna

218
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: get a lot of credit. He ran really hard. It

219
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: looked like he had a little more juice in this game.

220
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: He looked explosive. But this was about the offensive line

221
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: to me, and you know what you're gonna get from

222
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Big seventy seven and Tyrant Smith. He was outstanding. Zach

223
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Martin did his thing. But guys, Terence Steele haven't seen

224
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: him up close with the Chargers and then seeing him

225
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: on the tape this year, he has shocked me with

226
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: how well he is playing at this early stage of

227
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: his career. He is a good, good football player. And

228
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: this is a Cowboys team buck that feels like whatever

229
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: kind of fight they find themselves in. Whatever style you

230
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: want to go, uh, you know, push the ball vertically

231
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: down the field, you want to be a line of

232
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: scrimmage game. They can do whatever you wanna do now.

233
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: They absolutely can do whatever you want to do. And

234
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: what I love about them is they understand who they

235
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: are killing more. Last week ahead of the game, talked

236
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: about it's about players, not plays, and he talked about

237
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: taking what the defense is giving up. And when you

238
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: have Tony Pollo and Ezekiel Elia Marie Cooper Ceedee Lamb,

239
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: you have two tight ends that emerging Dalton Charlson, Blake Darwin,

240
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: you really can't do whatever it is that you want

241
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: to do, particularly when the office and line is playing

242
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: the way that they're playing. The Dallas Cowboys are a

243
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: problem because they can run it at you, they can

244
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: throw it over your head. You got a quarterback playing

245
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: at the m v P level. This is the best

246
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: version of the Cowboys we've seen them. Sometimes Dak Dak

247
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: Prescott makes the right decision darn there every snap. And

248
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about where to throw the football.

249
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: He's he picks his spots when he wants to take

250
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: off and use his legs as well. I mean, he's

251
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: just playing flawless football. Such an important quality when we're

252
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: evaluating quarterbacks as that decision making skill, like when we

253
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: it enamored with the arms, training to get enamored with

254
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: the accuracy. But man is locked in. Uh, no question. Okay,

255
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: let's let's look at here at Sam Donald and the

256
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Panthers because they're playing without their best player and Christian McCaffrey.

257
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: I thought they held up well for the most part.

258
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Sam Donald's got five rushing touchdowns on this

259
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: season that was at one point was your league leader

260
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And rushing touchdowns at the end of

261
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the first half of this game, and a couple of

262
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: interceptions in that game that we looked at that that

263
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: he loved to have back that really contributed to that

264
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: three touchdown third quarter that kind of made things tough

265
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: to get. But right now, Sam Donald and d J. Moore,

266
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: that's one of the best QB TW wide receiver combinations

267
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: in football. I don't think the Panthers are going anywhere.

268
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: I feel like we're gonna be talking about him no,

269
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers are gonna be fine. But but my biggest

270
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: taker from this game that Panthers defense. We've talked about

271
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: them on the show. They're loaded, they're fast, they're physical,

272
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: and they got their butts kicked by the Dallas Cowboys offense. Well,

273
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: when you load up, because man rule is told is

274
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: that the way you build your defense you build up

275
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: with speed. Well, what you do is you run right

276
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: at the speed, which is what the Cowboys did. And

277
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: so when you have a smaller defensive front, smaller linebackers

278
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: and those things, the best thing the Cowboys were able

279
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: to do is move them off the ball. Give it

280
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: to those rocking, socking robots are running back and they

281
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: had to sock them. That is alliteration and all. Now

282
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: time for a little rookie report cards you need By

283
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: by the way, do you need a red pen because

284
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you've ever marked anybody's since we've been

285
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: doing these report cards. Let me see that you get

286
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: this thing going, because you're about to get an ask here.

287
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's kick this thing off by going back

288
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: to Thursday Night Football here, Bucky and checking in on

289
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence with what he did against the Bengals. I

290
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: thought Trevor Lawrence was very solid, so I'm gonna give

291
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: him a beat. I'm gonnaive him a be because I

292
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: thought he'd managed the game very well. We saw him

293
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: utilize all the traits that we really looked for in

294
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. He was very efficient effecting when it

295
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: came to passing, but the athleticism, utilize his feed. They

296
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: put him in some situations that they used to do

297
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: it Clemson, let him run zone read, let him get

298
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: used to being a part of the run game. That

299
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: really opened up what he did in the ask the game.

300
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: I thought this was one of the better performances every

301
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: team from Trevor Lawrens this far. Give at least a

302
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: B plus buck. He made some big time plus I

303
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: think that had three third twos with with conversions and that.

304
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: But no, let's just don't come past grade. All right.

305
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Let me get to Zach Wilson because it's been a

306
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: rough go of it this year, but this was by

307
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: far the best version of Zach Wilson that we've seen.

308
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: So when I watched the tape, I gave him a

309
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: minus and I really I thought I could have been

310
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: a little bit tough on him, even giving him the

311
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: minus on there, because you saw the creativity, you saw

312
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the explosive plays. Um to me, there's just maybe two

313
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: throws you'd like to have back. One that would have

314
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: finished the game out in the flat. He just pulled

315
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: the string, had the one turnover. Don't worry about trying

316
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: to piece together you know, fourteen fifteen play drives this point,

317
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: this point, Yeah, go deep, Corey, I'll get it there.

318
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: And he delivered a dime. He had about three or

319
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: four off platform throws that were incredible in this game,

320
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: So a minus. The Jets gotta be happy with this one.

321
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Every time that Zack Wilson makes one of these throws,

322
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm just like I clicked back to the draft so

323
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: that we did right. Every time. It's like lifts in

324
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: the air the season. Okay, I'll get you to Mac

325
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: Jones here. How about it. You guys are waiting for

326
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: this one. You're waiting for this you want me. I'm

327
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: not saying that. Hey home on Mac way to work.

328
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: So look, I mean, like, watching all the throws this

329
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: morning kind of resonated with what I was watching during

330
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: the games. He was getting the ball out quick, and

331
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: he was getting pressure to ton and I thought he

332
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: performed well under pressure, as it kept showing the graphics

333
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: in game, how he's doing against the blitz and against pressure. Man.

334
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: They came after him and he delivered. He did what

335
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots asked him to do again. And so we

336
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: went back this morning and watched the throws. You're like,

337
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: all right, well, how many deep balls did he really

338
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: pass up? How many opportunities to extend the ball down

339
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: the field did he really turned down in this game?

340
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: Virtually none, It just didn't. They just didn't send a

341
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: lot of guys beyond fifteen yards, you know what I mean.

342
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: And then there was maybe one opportunity and on the

343
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: Bucks in the Bucks territory it was like a third

344
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: and four maybe could have taken an end zone shot,

345
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: still ended up getting a first down. So I mean,

346
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: it was hard to downnggrade him on that. So withhold

347
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: the plus from more of a like philosophical a situation

348
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: to otherwise I thought Mac was phenomenal. No, I think

349
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: he was terrific, and I think he's a great fit

350
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: in his offense. When you look at the way they

351
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: want to play the small ball. This is getting the

352
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands really quick. They didn't want

353
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: to play powerfulball. The problem that they run into is

354
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: there's a ceiling to playing like this. Like everything around

355
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: there has to be start getting crowded perfect. The defense

356
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: has to play well. The running game has to give

357
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: them something and they have to catch you every opportunity

358
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: because man, it is hard to go to left of

359
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the field on pay ding. Professor Lewis will give you

360
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: extra credit if you throw the ball or fifteen yards.

361
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm just picking it out there. You can go above

362
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: and start to get some of those. We'll get that

363
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: plus in there. Absolutely. I just get to Justin Fields

364
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: as I throw my pen at you. Justin Fields again,

365
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: off last week to this week look completely different. There

366
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: was a lot of play action. They were shot plays

367
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: down the field. You saw that explosive arm he has.

368
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: You talk about just a beautiful deep ball. He can

369
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: drive it, he can layer it. This was this was

370
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: what this team can be. Run the football, officient with

371
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: the run game, and then go off play action, take

372
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: your shots. That's where he's comfortable. Ball security had a sacaphone.

373
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: Ball had to pick um. But overall that's an a

374
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: performance from Justin Fields for me. Look it you look good,

375
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: you look comfortable. Bill Laser did a good job of

376
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: putting him in some situations. Whoever was calling the players, Laser,

377
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: Matt nagging did a good job of giving him an

378
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to do what he does very very well. And

379
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: the Bears commitment to the running game is the thing

380
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: that stood out to me. David Montgomery having over a

381
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: hunt of yards, they really settled this offense down and

382
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: allowed him to play the way they wanted to play

383
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: an they were able to play from him. Offensive line

384
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: is built to run well that too. And it sounds

385
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: like Matt Naggy saying today that when and Healton tell

386
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: he don'ton is still the starter. So maybe a story.

387
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the last grade we get to give on

388
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Justin Fields here for a minute, we got look, I

389
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: got Trade Lance and Sam was just going this is

390
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: very similar to Chicago because Jimmy Garoppolo as the starter.

391
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: But lorng behole where he comes Tray Lance, he gets

392
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play. I'm gonna give him a B

393
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: minus for his efforts. Look, I feel like Trade didn't

394
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: come in with all of his notebooks and pencils, So

395
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a chance because this didn't look

396
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: like I wanted it to look in terms of clean

397
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: but the splashy plays they show up mixed bag. When

398
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: it came to throw, he missed some throws, but the athleticism,

399
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: the way he's able to make up for some of

400
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: his mistakes with his athleticism stands out. I can't wait

401
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: to see next week. That's what What are we gonna

402
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: see next? Yeah, I want to see if they're designed

403
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: this offense around him. It looked like he was kind

404
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: of running at Jimmy g offense. But to me, when

405
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: I look at the comparison between a couple of guys

406
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: like Mac Jones and Trey Lance, let's use a baseball comparison,

407
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: kind of an old school new school when we were

408
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: growing up and somebody was four for five with four singles,

409
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: that was a great game, and then now, all of a

410
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, this new way for a baseball. You'd rather

411
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: have the guy go one for five, hit a three

412
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: run home run because it's about production and points. I think, Trey,

413
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a wow statistical performance in terms

414
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: of the completion percentage. It's not always gonna be easy

415
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: on the eyes. But he's gonna generate explosive plays and

416
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: it's gonna lead to points. So to me, it's kind

417
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: of an old school NWDS school way of the of

418
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: the way the positions being played forty Niners and Cardinals

419
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: next week from Arizona as showdown that is that is

420
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a good ideally what kind of effect because

421
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: we haven't really seen it yet. Do you think Trey

422
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: Lance will have on this forty Niners run game? Because

423
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: we talked about that that was kind of the exciting

424
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: piece of this offense, right Bucky, And maybe now we

425
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: finally get a chance to see it. Oh, if I'm

426
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: if I'm the Cardinals, I need to go all the

427
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: way back and find it RG three film from his

428
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: rookie season, because I think we'll see some of that

429
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: power run game, power read quarterback design run where he

430
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: may towed it eight to twelve times and those eight

431
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: to twelve touches will open up the rest of the

432
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: running game. I'm excited to see what it looks like.

433
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: One thing quickly on that game is you look at

434
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: that Arizona team they went against Tennessee Titans, who have

435
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: a physical reputation beat him up. The Rams the best

436
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL last year, they beat up care

437
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: of it. Now we'll see what it looks like with

438
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: the forty Niners and the Cardinals at the line of

439
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage on both sides. It's gonna be fun to watch,

440
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: no question, looking forward to that matchup. One of the

441
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: best ones of Week five. All right, let's kick off

442
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: our Elite eight tier on your Move the Sticks Monday.

443
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: We're talking improvements. That is the name of the game,

444
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: the theme for today's Elite eight. And uh well, it

445
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: didn't feel like after all the talk about the Chargers

446
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: game plan last week against the Chiefs didn't feel like

447
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles imployed employed the same type of strategy here,

448
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: which led to a nice improvement performance from the Chief's

449
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: offensive Patrick Mahomes. Really, the Chiefs offenses continue to move

450
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: the ball each and every game. It's being able to

451
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: eliminate some of the self inflicted wounds, and Patrick Mahomes

452
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: did that in this game. Had one interception, but outside

453
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: of that he was able to He was able to

454
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: balance being aggressive and taking your shots when they were there,

455
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: but just taking the layups when you get him as well.

456
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really under control game from

457
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and when he does that, you see numbers

458
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: like those. You see those numbers and you can understand

459
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: why the Chiefs are so tough to beat. The Cowboys

460
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: are becoming a team that stuff to beat like that.

461
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: When I look at the Dallas Cowboys and what they're doing, yeah, defensively, man,

462
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: I am really impressed with Michael Parsons and Treyvon Diggs

463
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: and Dank Winn system. When you think about how they

464
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: want to play and how they want to get after.

465
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: They want to play man to man and they want

466
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: to get their hands on the ball. Dank Win is

467
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: really unlocked his defense by allowing his best athletes to

468
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: take over Michael Parson's upfront, Trayvon Digs in the back end.

469
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: Those two guys have really sparked to change in Dallas.

470
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: Treybon dig seasons worth of interceptions through four games. Sitting

471
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: there with five, talked about that a little bit. That

472
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: was a big reason why the Cowboys were able to

473
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: kind of pull away in that third quarter of those

474
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: two Treyvon Diggs interceptions off Sam Donald. Elsewhere in the

475
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: NFC East, probably give a little credit to the New

476
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: York Giants and to quarterback Daniel career day for Daniel

477
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Jones over four hundred yards passing. In fact, I was

478
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: looking at this. This is the first even three hundred

479
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: plus yard performance he's had since his rookie year. It

480
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: speaks to the explode sieve pieces they have on this offense,

481
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: Darius Tony getting in. You saw the John Ross deep

482
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: touchdown Daniel Jones. First, just I'm sorry, just the second

483
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: game in his career that he said touchdowns on deep

484
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: passes twice in the same game here this one is

485
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley allowing Sake want to do his thing,

486
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: catch and run. So big for for Daniel Jones was

487
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: not sacked in this game. And then there's so many

488
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: positives for Daniel Jones and this Giants office. Big improvement

489
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: this week. Early take real quick draft take here. The

490
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: Giants could end up with two top ten picks, right,

491
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: they have the Bears pick, they have their own pick.

492
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jones, from what I've seen thus for

493
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: is a better quarterback option than anything in this upcoming draft.

494
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: He might get a chance to get two guys that

495
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: can help him in the top ten next year's draft.

496
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: So just something to keep an eye on I'm with you,

497
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: glad to see him to get rewarded, uh for for

498
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: his play. I'm gonna go to the Bills and their defense.

499
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: We talk about Josh Allen, this offense, high flying and

500
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: what we expected them in a super Bowl caliber team.

501
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: Big test for them coming out this week, by the way,

502
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: but their defense, this is the second shutout for them.

503
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: This is a Houston team. I know they're not very

504
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: good offensively. I don't care when you look at numbers

505
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: like they put down in this one. When you got

506
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: a hundred nine total yards, one and nine on third down,

507
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: you pick up four picks, you sack the quarterback three times.

508
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: That is doing what you're supposed to do against an

509
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: inferior team, and that is completely dominate them. So this

510
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Bill's defense looking like they are a much improved unit

511
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: than what we saw last year. They very much improved unit.

512
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: I love the way they play their blue color football team,

513
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: and I think what we want to see in Chicago

514
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: is a blue color offense. And I think we had

515
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see that. The game plan that they

516
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: utilized this week with David Montgomery and Justin Fields. This

517
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: is the way that the Chicago Bears have to continue

518
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: to play run it, throw it down the field, utilize

519
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: the athleticism that you have. Because long behold, I looked

520
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: up in Mooney had five catches. They have the one

521
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: it down. They're making it happen. And Justin Fields only

522
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: as seventeen pass attempts but two to nine yards. They

523
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: ran the football effectively and they controlled it with their

524
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: defense playing solid, they can win games like this. Their

525
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: first drive was the blueprint nine rushes on a twelve

526
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: play touchdown drive to open the game. What does that

527
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: set up? Play action down the road that you love

528
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: from Justin Fields in this game? Whoever called the plays

529
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: that was the way to work for rookie quarterback and

530
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: Justin Fields? Who has got that explosive playability as well?

531
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: I saw some improvement from the Ravens. Explosive almost got

532
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: away from you and then you got it right back

533
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: on the line. Can get the a I'm helping Alright,

534
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: let's bring it back here to prime time Jet Hollywood.

535
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown, whatever you want to call him, call him

536
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: a big time playmaker for the Ravens in this game.

537
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: This game was tied at seven here and Lamar Jackson

538
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: terrific throw on his end, almost overthrew a wide open

539
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown and look at the diving reception in the

540
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: end zone, hangs onto it. This coming after a rough

541
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: outing against Detroit. He had to officially official drops if

542
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: you will. Last week. I thought there was a third

543
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: that he should have had but didn't, and Lamar saying

544
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: he always trusts Marquise Brown to make a play. That's

545
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: why right there. Big time improvement from Jet Yeah, big

546
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: time improvement. And you have to like that they needed

547
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: to stress to feel to open up this offense. Three

548
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: in your game for Lamar Jackson changed the dun name.

549
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the right he looks better

550
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: at number five too. I like that. I'm gonna go

551
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: to Carson Wentz watching the tape last week. Remember I

552
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: had bad ankles, and when you went and watch the videos, like, man,

553
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: this is look good, he looked. He looked like he

554
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: was old. He couldn't move. There were major issues there

555
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. This tape was much better, and I

556
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: don't know necessarily that the offensive line protection was great.

557
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: When you watch it, there's a couple of plays. You

558
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: see what Jalen Phillips did to Eric Fisher on the edge.

559
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: Pockets were collapsing. I thought Carson showed some real grit

560
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: and toughness to hang in there, uh and get a win.

561
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: I think this is what he had lost seven games

562
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: in a row, personal losing streak there, so to snap that.

563
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: It was a big improvement for Carson Wentz and really

564
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a must win game for the Anay the way, how

565
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: about Moley Cox kind of stepping up as a big

566
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: time weapon in this Colts offense. He is a hooper,

567
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: big time hooper. How about the Browns defense. Joe Woods

568
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: has his defense playing and playing at a high level.

569
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: And the big thing that you see from great defense

570
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: is that they can make adjustments in the middle of

571
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: the game. First round of the Minnesota Vikings go up

572
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: and down the field any r drive. The Browns are

573
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: having a tough time figuring it out. The rest of

574
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the game. They held him to d and seventy five

575
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: yards and you look, they are all over the field.

576
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: This running game from the Vikings was terrific. They shut

577
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: that down. They were able to make Kirk Cousins uncomfortable,

578
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: didn't give up the big plays, and they turned it over.

579
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: It's everything that you want to see from the Browns,

580
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: and the Browns are a super Bowl team because of

581
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: their defense and the running game. If the quarterback steps up,

582
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: that's what gives them a chance real quick. Myles Garrett

583
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: was gap jumping in this game. It's the freakiest thing

584
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. He's literally lining up and jumping into

585
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: the other gaps. He's he is a different bird man.

586
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: I love the improvement within the framework of a game.

587
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: He saw that first drive and we talked about from

588
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings and then they really clamped down. So love

589
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: to see that for this kind of segment as well,

590
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: which not only goes week to week in the beginning

591
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: of the season too now, but also within a game.

592
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: You're scouting these rookies through four weeks DJ and liking

593
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: what you see from these ten guys. A couple of

594
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: guys that stood out to me Creed Humphrey as a

595
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: second round pick making an impact for the Chiefs along

596
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: that offensive line, pats Or Tan top ten player uh

597
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: and second corner off the board for the Broncos. But

598
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: let's start at the top with Micah Parsons at a

599
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: position of strength already for the Cowboys, and man, he's

600
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: really added to that defense. Yeah, you know how dynamic

601
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: he is, you know, explosive he is. To me, what

602
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: stood I was how versatile he's been. When they had

603
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: a need a rise for him to come and rush

604
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: off the edge, all he did was generate consistent pressure.

605
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: He's got three sacks already on the season, and his

606
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: clothes sideline to sideline, his range against the run is phenomenal.

607
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: So to me, it's a close battle between him and

608
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: number two Rashawns Later, but I end up giving the

609
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: edge here to Micah Parsons. And then let's look at

610
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: the number two and number four rookies who come from

611
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: the same team. Talk about winning on a draft. Right now,

612
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: the Chargers are winning two guys in your top five,

613
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: with not only Rashaan Slater, but with Sante Samuel Jr.

614
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: In the second round as well. Yeah, and Buck, we

615
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: talked about Sante Samuel Jr. The playmaking skills they've translated

616
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: from college the NFL. Yeah, they absolutely translate. He understands

617
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: that he gets he delivers the turnovers. But both of you,

618
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: the guys that are playing for the Charges right now

619
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: are bawling out of control. Then it's exactly what you

620
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: want to see. You want to see your tap two

621
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: picks make plays and make him consistently very early. So

622
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: what I like about Rashon Slater is he has been

623
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: the dude. He has been effective from day one. You

624
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: put him in left hock, you don't have to worry

625
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: about it. And then as Santi Samuel being the playmaking

626
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: that he's always been, he shows up each and every

627
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: week and again this is how you win with high

628
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: value draft picks. Right, we're talking about these. Sante was

629
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: a top fifty pick. Right, so we have two guys

630
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: here in the top fifty. We're tracking that, by the

631
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: way throughout this season. A bit later here on the

632
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Move the Sticks Monday, we're gonna look at some of

633
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: these teams that have had the most top fifty picks

634
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: and how they have translated to a Frank Eyes his

635
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: success or lack thereof. All Right, also want to get

636
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: to a couple of other these Alabama rookies that end

637
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: up back to back on your top tenant Mac Jones

638
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: and Davante. Yeah. Mac Jones, you know we've talked a

639
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: lot about Mac Jones earlier than the show on his

640
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: rookie report card. What he's been able to do is

641
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: just be efficient, accurate, make good decisions, deliver the football

642
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: on time where it belongs. But DeVante Smith, I know

643
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: some people concern, well, maybe the Eagles are going back

644
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver well too often. I don't think so.

645
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: I think that was the right pick for them. Buck.

646
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: He's a smooth route runner. He's had a couple of drops,

647
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: but we're seeing him not only underneath. His ability to

648
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: get vertical and over the top is going to help

649
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: stretch things out for Jalen Hurts. Yeah. The one thing

650
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: that stands out when you look at DeVante Smith his

651
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: ability to get open at the line of scrimmage, press

652
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: off his tempo is fantastic. Does a great job of

653
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: catching the ball. And even though I was worried about

654
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: his size when he came into the league, showing no

655
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: ill effects of the physicality and toughness that has needed

656
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: to play on the outside. He is a classic number

657
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: one receiver and he is going to anchor his pass

658
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: game for a long time. Yeah. They get him the

659
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: ball quick sometimes on the screens and can get down

660
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: the field in a hurry. And then you saw just

661
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: work in the middle of the field as well. There's

662
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: nothing he can't do as a wide receiver. Towards the

663
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: bottom of your top ten. Another couple of intriguing guys,

664
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams and uh jeremiah's Cormo, two of our favorites

665
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: coming into the drap. Javonte Williams, you want to know

666
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: how physically is go watch the tape from the against

667
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Raven. See how physical he is. And then

668
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: when you look at Jeremiah Wisukormo, how they're using him

669
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: moving him around in that defense. He's been also outstanding

670
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: on special teams. Just a little cherry on top for

671
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: what he's brought to the Cleveland Browns. Dynamic, explosive, physical playmaker.

672
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: The physical playmaker gives you an opportunity to do a

673
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: bunch of different things in the back end. We've talked

674
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: about this defense playing at a high level. Well, if

675
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: you want to play at a high level, you get

676
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: high level players. This is the guy that we talked

677
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: about being gay first round talent. He is playing like

678
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: that even though he failed to the second round. The

679
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: way he seeks and destroys kind of reminds me of

680
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker in Arizona. I mean just flying all around

681
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: the player. And so look, let's talk about a team

682
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: in the Browns, like, you know, you get a Whostu

683
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: Cormo in the second round. Greg Newsome wasn't active in

684
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: this game, but hitting on exit the back end right

685
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: of a first round or in the back of the

686
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: second round, I mean, like that's that is an acquired skill, right,

687
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean it takes it's a new era Andrew Berry

688
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: tip of the cap because forever we would talk about

689
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: the Browns blowing top five. Right now on the ones,

690
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: they're written on late ones and they're hitting on on

691
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: ones beyond the first round. All right, So the full

692
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: list of DJ's rookie rankings coming out on Wednesday. You

693
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: can find that nfl dot com slash Rookie Rankings rocket

694
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: and rolled here through a couple of other games that

695
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: we were watching, Like we love to come up with

696
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you get those two words two words scouting through

697
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: two or three words for it's a quick, quick, little

698
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: way to kind of get those. Yeah, the cliff notes

699
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: version of some of these scouting parts. We're gonna do

700
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: that for some games that we saw in Week four.

701
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: We'll start with the Ravens and the Broncos. Bucky got

702
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: two words to describe that game here for us, Uh,

703
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: there's a song I think locked up, Oh, we'll let

704
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: me out. That is what the Broncos were. They were

705
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: locked up by the Baltimore Ravens and they couldn't get

706
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: out seven straight series after they scored a touchdown and

707
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: and then a punt and then the ape was an interception.

708
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: Drew Lock participated, played hand in some of that in

709
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: the second half, just could not get it going. The

710
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens defense. We know, it's fantastic. They want to

711
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: bring press, they're gonna play man to man, but Denver

712
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: they have weapons on the outside. Couldn't win, couldn't get open,

713
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball consistently. It was just a really,

714
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: really tough day for the Broncos offense. And so they

715
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: were locked up. They wouldn't let him out. Maybe they'll

716
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: let him out and play next week. Yeah. The other

717
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: two words I was gonna say were angry Vic He

718
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: was not, at least at the end of the run,

719
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: at the end of that door. But look, they were

720
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: without Jerry Judy, without kJ Hamdler, and when they're going

721
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: to be without kJ Hamler for they got used to

722
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: the last of the year exactly right. So uh yeah,

723
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: that was a that was a rough watch for various

724
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: defense on offense. I'm not putting on the Broncos. So

725
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have said they were

726
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: their record was result of their schedules, but I'm not.

727
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not running away from them just yet. But

728
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good players on that got the

729
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: best of a couple of rookie quarterbacks in weeks two,

730
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: weeks three, and then saw the Ravens in Week four.

731
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna settle down. They're gonna settle down forward and

732
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: see if I tell you Bridgewater left the game at

733
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: halftime with a concussion did not return. If you can

734
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: get out of the protocol ahead of the Broncos Week

735
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: five matchup, all right, I'll move this here to the

736
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Packers and the Steelers, and I'm gonna give DJ a

737
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: little bit of a hat tip on this case. This

738
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: doesn't all this guy's fault, Yeah, but it doesn't go

739
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: over two words for the Packers and one connection in particular,

740
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to Randall com told you right, told you

741
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't deliver it like that. So that's why I can.

742
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the write the script, but you're executed. That's

743
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what we do, all right. So like you know,

744
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how much Aaron Rodgers really, um you know,

745
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: requested and or demanded this move in the off season

746
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: by the Packers to go get Randall cobb from the

747
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Texans bring him back to the Packers. But man did

748
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: a payoff this week. Five catches, sixty nine yards, pair

749
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, first multiple touchdown game for Randall Cobbs since

750
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen. Man, I felt like old times again.

751
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: And now Randall cob tied with our guy James Jones

752
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: for the third most touchdowns caught from Aaron Rodgers. Look

753
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: it was a big piece of this game. They needed

754
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: him in this game. And look, I guess just listen,

755
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the moral of this story here, DJ Well,

756
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: I think familiarity. I mean, you always gonna want familiarity

757
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: and just be comfortable with your guy. And that's this guy. Man,

758
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jumping on the game, flip it over to

759
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers side. And I don't know a nice way

760
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: to say this is slow motion. It's just when you

761
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: watch the Steelers, it feels like you're just watching an

762
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: offense in slow motion. And previously I'd say, oh man,

763
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: they need to take their shots down the field. They

764
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: actually tried to take shots down the field. They hit

765
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: one in this game, but there are other opportunities they

766
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: just were not able to get on the same page.

767
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: Ben had some misses driving the ball outside the numbers.

768
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: The perimeter is a difficult task right now, and there's

769
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: just way too many of these where you've got some

770
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: guys running down the seat. Judis miss Schuster got open

771
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: over the top several times in this game. They just

772
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: they couldn't execute Buck And it's just an offense. It's

773
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: just so methodical. Just it's in slow motion, yes, methodical.

774
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: You have an Asian quarterback who looks like me throwing duels.

775
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: Um just has a tough time pushing the ball, so

776
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: it's I need a crow hop to try and get

777
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: it here. So I don't know what to do with

778
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: this offense, because they do have some intriguing weapons on

779
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: the outside, but the offensive line is bad and the

780
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: quarterback is limited. They have to play great defense and

781
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way to what's the past

782
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: over here, right, I mean, is this is this like

783
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense here is that we're saying, like, when

784
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: you can't run the football and you're getting every the

785
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: defense is climbing. There's a reason when you go in

786
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: every defensive coordinator's room in the league, they have up

787
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: near the top of the list on their board limit explosives.

788
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: And you're going to offensive coordinator's room, we have to

789
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: generate explosive plays like That's what this league is, man.

790
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: And if you've got an offensive can't get him, and

791
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: you've got a defense that can't live in them, you're

792
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: in big trouble. And that was the case for the

793
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers really on both sides of the ball in

794
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: this game, final game of Week four, coming to you

795
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: from its side So five Stadium, right next to where

796
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: we sit here on this move the sticks. Monday. It's

797
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football Raiders and the Chargers in this highly

798
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: competitive a f C West Division tonight a fifteen Eastern time.

799
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: DJ is gonna be on the call with Matt money

800
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: Smith for the Chargers radio broadcast. And I know you've

801
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: been looking ahead to this one here, DJ uh So,

802
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: when they get your eye in these edge rushers in

803
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: this game for both teams, which I guess is a

804
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a departure from what we've been talking

805
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: about with Raiders teams of recent years. The Raiders have

806
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: a couple of really good edge rushers, bringing over Yannick

807
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: and Goquay, pairing him up with Max Crosby and studying

808
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: getting ready for this game. Buck, I want to get

809
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this because when when you're looking at

810
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, I wrote down Jared Allen. He reminds me

811
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: so much of Jared all when you study him what

812
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: he can do. So you've got the charges for Shawn

813
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: s Later is playing as well as any left tackle

814
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: in the league. Storm Norton on the right side has

815
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: had some issues, So Max Crosby, Storm Norton do they

816
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: give him help? That's one thing to keep an eye on.

817
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: And then Alex Leatherwood, the rookie right tackle for the Raiders,

818
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: He's gonna see a lot of Joey Bosa. Look. This

819
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: would be interesting because Gus Bradley is certainly familiar with

820
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: the personnel with the charges. He understands how to do it.

821
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: But this is a Raiders team that they line up.

822
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: They don't bring a lot of pressure. They are one

823
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: of the least blessing the pure Yeah, and so it's

824
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be really interesting. I want to see

825
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 1: how Derek Carr plays, because Derek car has been playing

826
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: at an m v P level, but this is a game,

827
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: but the Raiders may need him to do even more

828
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: because this may break into a shootout because the Charge

829
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: is gonna put up points. How does Derek Carr respond?

830
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: He's just finding well early this season, but now this

831
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: is a big stage, primetime game, everyone watching. Let's see

832
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: if you can turn it up a not other matchup here,

833
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: Derwin James, Darren Waller. Yes, that is certainly one of

834
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: the prime time matchups. Within this matchup, another side of

835
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: the ball that I'm kind of looking at. It's also

836
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: in that Chargers defense, and it kind of hinges on

837
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: the availability of Josh Jacobs tonight for the Raiders. You know,

838
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: whether he's good to go. How much does that affect

839
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: how Vegas tries to take advantage of what is the

840
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: last ranked rush defense in football. Right now, Paid Barbara

841
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: look pretty good getting thrust into action. So even if

842
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs doesn't play, in this game, I anticipate the

843
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna want to make this a physical lineup

844
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: scrimmage game and try and establish their identity in the

845
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: run game early in this one. Yeah, it has to

846
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: be a physical game. Also. The thing the Charges need

847
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball some They don't

848
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: have to run it a ton, but they have to

849
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: run it something you don't want. Justin Herbert, I have

850
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: to get into that throws per game and they can

851
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: just get a little bit of running to balance that. Yeah,

852
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean there's so many different storylines here, and again

853
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders in one of those teams. As we're talking

854
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: about that we'll be watching tonight. We're tracking those high

855
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: value draft picks and had a ton of them here

856
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: and you get a firsthand look at a few of them,

857
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: especially if Josh Jacobs is able to go. Jonathan Abram

858
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: saw Henry Ruggs kind of start to come to life

859
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: a little bit this year. I mean, I mean, we

860
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: could sell all aspects of this game at the of

861
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: the day. Derek Carr, Justin Herbert's what's going to be

862
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's what's it gonna go away from

863
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: where we are. It's gonna be fun. That's what we're

864
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: talking about right now, Monday night football Raiders and Chargers

865
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: in the a f C. Where are you coming by
