1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody, Welcome to Move the Sticks presented 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: by the ford E Series DJ Bucky. Here on our 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: recap show ten takeaways. We got a lot to jump 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: into tonight. Yeah, it's all crazy. I mean, we had 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: a great Sunday, a lot of good games, a lot 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: of competitive games. We saw some teams emerge, they were 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: kind of surprises, and we also saw some young players 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: kind of take a step forward in their development. I 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: know you had a busy day, did our Game Day 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: Live show with htt Lewis three and a half hours 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: of fun. But that wasn't enough football for you, my friend, 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: because you got to get out there and see a 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: little bit of charters and chiefs, and I want to 15 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: hit you up on on what you saw out there 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: on that field at the StubHub. But before we get there, 17 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,319 Speaker 1: why don't we start off here with this Sunday Night 18 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: contest and one of the takeaways here for me, look again, 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: completely dominated by the Washington Redskins over the Oakland Raiders, 20 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: Oakland over eleven on third down, could get nothing going, 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: uh man, it's just no offense. Dominated on both sides 22 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: of a scrimmage. But my big takeaway, my number one takeaway, 23 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: will start this thing off with Cousins versus car quarterback 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: that's already got that long term contract, got the big money, 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: versus Cousins who's been playing on these one year franchise tags. 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: But I know it's just one game. But on the 27 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: same field, I thought tonight Cousins was the better quarterback. 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Becausins absolutely was the superior quarterback. Did a great job 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: of being efficient and effective work in all areas of 30 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: the field. And what I like about what the Riskins 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: have done the last couple of weeks because I got 32 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: a chance to see him firsthand last week against the Rams. 33 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: They are working the middle of the field and they're 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: working the guys that have better mismatches. So rather than 35 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: working outside like Cousins has previously done when he had 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: pure Gussan and Deshan Jackson at his disposal, he has 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: changed his game. They're working the tight ends, the running 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: back and the slot receivers. Vernnon Davis, Jamison, Crowded Chris 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: Thompson were all the biggest beneficiaries of his passes. And 40 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: because of that, the Redskins offense is beginning to roll, 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and even though they did have necessarily an overpowering run, 42 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: game is just enough balanced to allow Kurt Cousins to 43 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: kind of slash you up in a paper cut kind 44 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: of fashion. No question. No Jordan read tonight either, So 45 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: when you look at the weapons he had last year 46 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: versus what he was wrong with tonight, a little different ballgame. 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: Nice to see Josh Dockson connect on a big one 48 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: down the field get a fixed two yard touchdown. UM. 49 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: But that was the only catch on the night, and 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: I really gotta say, man, this is decided no great 51 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: night for the Redskins. But Terrell, prior that, you think 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: he plays through his size buck, I tweeted out, man 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: for a for a big guy, he does not know 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: how to walk guys off and keep people on his 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: back and make a contested catch. A little. I thought 56 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: he'd be a little bit better and maybe this will 57 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: come along here as he gets more comfortable at the 58 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: position in this new offense with a new quarterback. But man, 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: he's gotta be a little bit better than was tonight, 60 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it's one of those things 61 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: where you have to remember that he's still kind of 62 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: growing into the position. I guy to just made a 63 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: conversion probably about a year and a half ago, so 64 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: he's still trying to settle in and learn how to 65 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: play the position the right way. That's kind of one 66 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: of those uh big buddy makers on the out side. 67 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: But it's something that he can definitely improve upon. He 68 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: can definitely grow, and I think eventually he will get 69 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: to that place. He just needs more time, more reps 70 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: to kind of find his way as the kind of playmaker. Yeah, 71 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: I thought the Redskins defensive front tonight was big. I mean, 72 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the the Okland Raiders to talk about their offensive line, 73 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: how good they are. Man, the Redskins got after they 74 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to spend a lot of bodies. But Ryan 75 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: Kerrigan he's on my all underrated team. I mean, he 76 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: has been so good for so long at a stack 77 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: three tackles for lost tonight. Just a disruptive player and 78 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: all round player, run passed. I think he's outstanding. That's 79 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: exactly what I was about to ask you guys. How 80 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: impressive was that front seven? I think they brought up 81 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: in the broadcast um that the Raiders only gave up 82 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: or didn't give up a double digit sack game. All 83 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: last year and they they they had uh gave up 84 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: for tonight, so that that's definitely impressive. UM. I think 85 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: the big thing with the Ridskins defense, uh and talking 86 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: to Greg Monusky after the game last week, I went 87 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: to the Rams game, had a chance to bump into him. 88 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: He just talked about getting those guys on the same page. 89 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: When you saw the Redskins to night, like you saw 90 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: them play off a little bit, but they were able 91 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: to generate pressure with just that front four didn't have 92 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: to do a lot of unnecessary blissing. They were able 93 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: to kind of dominate what we say is probably one 94 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: of the top three offensive lines in football. They had 95 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: their way, Ryan Carrigan leading the way, but Preston Smith 96 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: also was a factor. UM. When I looked at this 97 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: Redskins defense, I feel like they're kind of coming into 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: their own and as long as the offense can continue 99 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: to not turn the ball over and put the defense 100 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: in kind of a bad spot. Man, the redskin is 101 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: maybe one of those teams that we kind of overlooked 102 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: in the preseason because we just didn't think that they 103 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: would have enough weapons, uh to really compete from an 104 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: offensive standpoint. Well, let's let's stay there in the division 105 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: their NFC East. For the second takeaway, Eagles Giants man, 106 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: but really kind of two different games. Eagles dominating this 107 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: game for a long time and then the Giants got hot, 108 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: came roaring back. Uh courtesy of some some poor play 109 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: there by the Eagles turnover by Zach Hurtz and and 110 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: the company. I think they have penalty their on Malcolm 111 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: Jenkins down the field as well, But really two different 112 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: games there. The Eagles end up kicking a sixty one 113 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: yard or at the end, uh, Elliott with a monster kick. 114 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: But a couple of takeaways in this game, Buck number 115 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: one out. The Philadelphi Eagles found a little bit of 116 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: a running game, and that's something they had to do. 117 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: I thought, with Garrett Blunt ran hard um. I thought 118 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Clement getting a chance to get some carries did a 119 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: nice job, and small Wood it ran well. So it 120 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: was a collection of backs. But I thought overall, the 121 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: Eagles finding a run game was a big takeaway for them. Yeah, 122 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: I think that's a huge takeaway. Um, And a lot 123 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: of times we judge running games by yards, but I'm 124 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: more impressed with the attempts, so I'm counting them up 125 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: now twelve four thirty nine rushing attempts, thirty one passes 126 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: from Carson Wentz. That's kind of that balance that you're 127 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: looking for, because, no matter how impressed we are with 128 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a young quarterback. You don't want to 129 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: put it all on his shoulders. You want to be 130 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: able to balance it out. Run the ball so you 131 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: can dictate the turns when it comes to the coverage 132 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: that he will face. By running the football effectively, they 133 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: able to get better one on one matchups and the 134 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: receivers uh All, Sean, Jeffrey, zach Ertz, Tui Smith. They 135 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: have proven that they can win against those one on ones. 136 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: You saw an effective Kurt Cousins play a complimentary role 137 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: because the running game was kind of rolling. And then 138 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: how about this nugget I had when I was watching 139 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: this game, Man, I was surprised, we were talking about 140 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: it on the air, that that the Eagles weren't able 141 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: to get home with their pass rush no SATs in 142 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: this game against the Giants and an offensive line that 143 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: has just been terrible. Um, okay, let let me do 144 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: some digging on this. So I had had a guy 145 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Ethan get some of those next gen stats, and I 146 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: reached out to him and said, okay, what was the 147 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: time uh to throw there? For Eli Manning in this game? 148 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: Average time to throw in this game was two seconds 149 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: even week one was two point eight nine week to 150 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: two point six one, uh so significantly lower. And in 151 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: terms of the percentage of quick passes for Eli Manning 152 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: week one point three to be exact week to in 153 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: this game Bucky Week three against the Eagles, seventy eight 154 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: point seven percent of Uli Mannings passes were the quick game. 155 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean this was slants, hitch city out here, three 156 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: steps and get it out well, you know DJ And 157 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: looking back to how he played uh at his best 158 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: under Ben mc and do a couple of years ago, 159 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: it was because it was all quick game. It was 160 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: all slants, some former stick and hitches. Get the ball 161 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: out and let those playmakers work. The issues typically come 162 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: when people want to take that away. They can walk 163 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: up and press. But we saw against the Philadephi Eagles 164 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: with Odell Beckham Jr. On the outside, if you walk 165 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: up and press, he can make you pay. They hit 166 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: a couple of plays to Odell. Once they hit Odell, 167 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: it opened up the rest of the field for the 168 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: rest of the Giants. And so my takeaway from this 169 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: for the Giants Is Odell Beckham Jr. Is basically a 170 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: one man show on offense. He is the table center 171 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: and everyone else eats off his plate. So it's important 172 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: for them to establish him to allow the rest of 173 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: the players to be contributors. I agree with you completely 174 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: on that on one of the takeaways as well. Before 175 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: we move on to number three here, Bucket, do you 176 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: think about this? I was talking to somebody about this 177 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: game and they brought up a great point, mentioned this 178 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: the stat and this information, and he said, well, you 179 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: know what, when you play the Giants now there, I mean, 180 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham will just beat you up on slants. He said, 181 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: you're holding better off when they were getting the ball 182 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: off that quick. Just tell your ends. I mean, just 183 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: forget it. Just just read the quarterback time or jump 184 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: and try and try and get a hand on that thing. 185 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: You're much better off trying to pop a couple of 186 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: those balls up in the air than trying to get 187 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: home when they're getting the ball like that. Oh. Absolutely, 188 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's one of those things that it's kind 189 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: of crazy. Um, I'm looking at the next your status. 190 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: Because now if you go to the NFL dot com 191 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: page on the games and if you click the tab 192 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: next young status, its right there and it's available for you. 193 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at Eli's performance. Uh you talk about 194 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: the quick game. Uh he was seven four eleven on 195 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: passes under ten yards. Uh going to the left, three 196 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: for seven over the middle, but eleven for thirteen on 197 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: the right. I mean, if you add that up, that 198 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: is significant amount. This thirty one past attempts that are 199 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: thrown ten yards a few and that even doesn't include 200 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: the at the line of scrimmage throwers. Basically, they nickel 201 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: and dime the Philadelphia Eagles the entire game. But what 202 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: you saw was a more a more efficient performer. So 203 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: smart on their point, maybe they found their stride even 204 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: though they're on three, but offensively they played a little 205 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: better to that, all right, I bought the quarterback battle. 206 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: This is takeaway number three. That was a great game. Houston, 207 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: Dan New England. We mentioned the fact during the broadcast 208 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: that no rookie quarterback has gone into the Fox borrow 209 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: and beat a Bill Belichick coach team. And man, I'll 210 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: tell you what, Deshaun Deshaun Watson went after a Bill 211 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Belichick protege and Nick Staban and got him last year 212 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: in the National Championship Game, and he almost took down 213 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: the King in this one. He absolutely um played well 214 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: UH and it was really a surprise because you thought 215 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: they were complicated making very very difficult for him to 216 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: find open lanes and open windows. But my takeaway from uh, 217 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: Deshaun watson performance kind of comes down to the three 218 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: piece his poise, his playmaking, his production. He was very 219 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: poised and composed when they started bringing heat at him. 220 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: He didn't necessarily flee the pocket before it was time, 221 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: but when he did, when he was fleeing the pocket, 222 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: he was able to make plays, be it with his 223 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: feet being with improp to scrambled tosses. He was able 224 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: to be very productive. And when you think about a 225 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback having a three hundred yard game, I know 226 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: he had two interceptions, but twenty two for thirty three, 227 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: I think you'll take that all day long. This is 228 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: something that the Houston Texans have not been able to 229 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: get from the position in the past. They are upgraded 230 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: because the rookie quarterback might be the real deal. UH, 231 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: even sooner than we thought he would be No, he 232 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: was great, And to me, the movement stuff was outstanding. 233 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: But man, you hit it buck the poise in the pocket, 234 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: that was what got me jacked up and fired up 235 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: about him. Bonballs in the middle of the field, and 236 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: there had a couple of bou boos in there as well. 237 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: I gotta hold on the football, But I thought overall 238 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: it was an impressive performance by Watson. U ortunately for him. 239 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: He had the goat on the other side today and 240 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: the first game of the season, Tom Brady comes out 241 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: and he struggled sixteen and thirty six against Kansas City 242 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: the whole He's forty and they've got no Edelman, and 243 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if this team and com Brady can 244 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: get this done. And so many new faces, and how 245 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: long he's gonna take well home. His last two games, 246 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns, no picks, seventies almost seventy seven completion rate 247 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: against the Saint seventy one point four in this one, 248 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: averaging over ten yards a passer, and both of those 249 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: last two games, I mean he's been on fire. I 250 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: mean he's been on fire. He he continues to be 251 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: the goat. He is continued to find a way to 252 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: be very, very effective and productive, and even though the 253 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: Houston Texans did a good job of getting around him 254 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: and making him uncomfortable at times, he continues to find 255 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: a way to be productive. I think the interesting thing 256 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: when I look at his next year stats, Tom Brady 257 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: has a tale. DJ went, I'm looking at this. Okay, 258 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: ten of twelve, so he's fourteen of eighteen, sixteen of 259 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: sixteen of twenty one on passes to his left. So 260 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: of his thirty five complete attempts, twenty one of those 261 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: went to the left side. I think you might want 262 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: to start shading to the left because that's where the 263 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: ball is going. And I don't know if that's where 264 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Brandon cooked, Rob Gronkowski, you're lining up, but a lot 265 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: of the balls are going to the left hand portion 266 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: of the field. Just something that you have to be 267 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: aware of. Yeah, it was. It was a masterful performance 268 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: by Tom Brady. One of the things for the Texans 269 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: before we move on to another game Todayvy and Clowney 270 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: when healthy is a bad bad dude. Six tackles, two sacks, 271 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: four tackles for loss, and oh yeah, just get yourself 272 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown as well. He was He was outstanding. On 273 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: the fumble return, caught it up in the air and 274 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: then give a little Crockspike. They're a little added the bonus, 275 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: but I thought this was one of the few times 276 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: where we've seen together healthy on the field at the 277 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: same time. Clown me and what and what has three 278 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: tackles for loss as well. How those guys were both 279 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: very disruptive. Yeah, they're very disruptive. This is what uh 280 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans dreamed of when they could get all 281 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: of those guys healthy and in the line up at 282 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: the same time. Daveon Clowney playing alongside J. J. Watt, 283 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: who also has the ability to play alongside Whitney Markets. 284 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: When they're able to like be on the field and 285 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: get after it, they can make disruptive place. And I 286 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,359 Speaker 1: think it's also a lesson for all of the evaluators, 287 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: those who are working with the team and those who 288 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: are not to understand there's a reason why you give 289 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: top pics three or four years to come into their own. 290 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: For so many of us, we want to quickly put 291 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: the b label on them to say that J. Javan 292 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: Clowney was a bust. I think he has shown over 293 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: the last year and a half he was worthy of 294 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: being the number one overall pick based on his athleticism 295 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: and talent. Now we're beginning to see his game refined 296 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: to the point where he's making those impact plays that 297 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: many of us expected when he was the number one 298 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: overall pick. All right, let's jump to the game you 299 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: were at today Kansas City and the Chargers. Um, I 300 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: just scribbled down here Kareem Hunt, Rookie of the Year 301 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: with minds will just go ahead and give him the trophy. 302 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: But what were your big takeaways in this one? Buck 303 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: seening it live? The kand City Chiefs have put the 304 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: perfect offense around Alex Smith. Alex Smith is a guy 305 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: that came out of a spread offense in Utah. He 306 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: has always preferred to run an offense that had some 307 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: similar concepts to the spread, and I think what Kansas 308 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: City has done is basically created a hyper version of 309 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: the spread at the NFL label. At the NFL level, 310 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt does a great job running out the shotgun. 311 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: We saw seventeen carriers hundred seventy two yards. Big plays 312 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: from him. Tyreek Hill five catches seventy seven yards. Explosive playmaker, 313 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: can push it down the field. Because he is able 314 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: to make plays. Alex Smith is more comfortable pushing it 315 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: down the field. And Travis Kelsey, even though he was 316 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: a non factor in this game, the fact that they 317 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: have a three headed monster on offense that can deliver 318 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: big plays has helped Alex Smith grow into you the 319 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback that we thought. He has won a lot 320 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: of games, but what we've see in this year is 321 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: a guy that is really in command of that offense. 322 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: All right, tell me if I'm crazy on this one, 323 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: because I didn't see all of this game. I saw 324 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: a good portion of it on TV when I got 325 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: home after the show. Um, but Buck, I know, I 326 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: know this is a game they lose ten. It's not 327 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: a winning effort for the Chargers. But just from what 328 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: I saw of this game and myke my crazy, Melvin 329 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: Ingram looked like the best football player on the field 330 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: out there. He was everywhere for the Chargers. I mean 331 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: he was outstanding. He was outstanding. He and Joey Bolsa 332 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: are going to be a nightmare for people to have 333 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: to contend with because both of those guys can rush. 334 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: They can bring uh pressure with speed, they can bring 335 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: you with power, they can get to the quarterback in 336 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: a variety of different ways, and they're going to make 337 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: it tough for you to be able to really sit 338 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: in the pocket and attack them. So I like this defense. 339 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: I like where he's trying. I know they lost Verrette Uh, 340 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: their top corner a few days ago to an injury, 341 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: but I still like the way that they're playing. It 342 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: hasn't translated to wins, but it's only a matter of 343 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: time before you see them get onto a row. Yeah, 344 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: he had three sacks. Ingram didn't. He would just all 345 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: over the field to speed the effort, the ability to 346 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: bend and finish. Uh just got after Kelsey a couple 347 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: of times when he was lined up over him. So 348 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: maybe that's one of the reasons why Kelsey's production was down, 349 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: having to worry about dealing with Mr Ingham, who was 350 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: in an absolute terror on the outside. But Alex san 351 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: as the chiefs Alex met two point to two seconds 352 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: to throw one of the lower lower times in the 353 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: in across the league on Sunday. Yeah, he sees efficient. 354 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: That's his game. Protect the football, which he did, no interceptions, 355 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: clean sheet, only through for hundred fifty five yards. Didn't 356 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: even do much more than that. A complete team win 357 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: there for the Chief Sorry Buck Stefon Diggs Minnesota Vikings. 358 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: This was a fun game to watch when you look 359 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: at them going up against the Bucks that will chippy 360 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: with both receivers and dbs both sides of the ball. 361 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: There uh competitive battle. But man, I thought I wrote 362 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: down take way, Stefon Diggs, when healthy on the football field, 363 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: is a true number one wide receiver. He he was outstanding. Absolutely, 364 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: he is a legitimate dude, and I think um part 365 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: of the reason he kind of fell through the cracks. 366 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: He has some injuries at the University of Maryland, but 367 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: watching him coming out of high school, he was a 368 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: guy that was rated ahead of a Marii Cooper as 369 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: one of the top wide receiver prospects UM when he 370 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: came out in his recruiting class. He has continued to 371 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: show that he is a playmaker that has the ability 372 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: to run routes about eight catches a hundred and seventy 373 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: three yards to touchdowns and he did it really an 374 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: impressive fashion. He is someone in this offense. As this 375 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: offense has changed under Pat Sherman, they're finding ways to 376 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: get him the ball, and I think as they continue 377 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: to add balance. With Davin Cook almost getting a hundred yards, 378 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: you're seeing the potential of this offense because we saw 379 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: case Keenan throw for almost four hundred yards three sixty 380 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: nine yards, three touchdowns. When Sam Bradford gets back, we 381 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: know how he takes care of the ball. We know 382 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: how accurate he is. This Minnesota Vikings team is a 383 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: dangerous team to watch. The FC North is shaping up 384 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: to be a very competitive division this year. All right, 385 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: here's another takeaway from this game. Remember what we're doing 386 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: the show today, and uh, I said, man, it seems 387 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: like the Shan Jackson is working more in the middle 388 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: of the field than he has in years passed. Remember 389 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about that. All right, how about some numbers 390 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: to uh to prove our little theory here this year. Actually, 391 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: let's go in the in the previous year last year, 392 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson saw one point four targets per game 393 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: in the middle third of the field. This year two 394 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: point five targets per game so far at the start 395 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: of the foot And so yeah, it's it's not it's 396 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: not a right, but darn near double. Uh getting the 397 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: ball in the middle of the field. I don't know 398 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: if that's a great strategy long term in terms of 399 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: him holding up. But man, they're they're using him and 400 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: we call it got had a buddy and Scotting it 401 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: called the blood area. They're working in the middle of 402 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: the field. They get a little bloody in there. Now 403 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: dirty work inside. But Deshan Jackson, he's building that role 404 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: for him. He is feeling that role for the rescus. 405 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: You will see a case going there and run digs 406 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: and some end breaking routes, uh, some deep crosses, deep overs. 407 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: But it seems like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are really 408 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: featuring him on those deep squarenes where you can utilize 409 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: the speed and run away from the coverage breaking in 410 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: the thing is but a slight frame. You have to 411 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: make sure that the quarterback doesn't lead him into harms way, 412 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: so he doesn't take a big shot from the safety. 413 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: But they are finding ways to maximize his talent by 414 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: really utilizing his speed put him in a situation where 415 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: he can catch the ball. And I know Mike Evans 416 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: was a little frustrated today, maybe because he didn't get 417 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: little touches. But it's a balanced offense. I think you 418 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: have two number one. This is an offense that should 419 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: be able to roll. They have to just do a 420 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: better job of coming out ready to play and really 421 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: hit the ground running when the game starts. All right, 422 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: takeaway number six. I wrote down here the Bears beat 423 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: up the Steelers, and man, they won the physical battle. 424 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: And I went to get some numbers on this one 425 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: to kind of support the argument. How about this, ditt diddy, 426 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: I got here for you, buck. You got the average 427 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: yard game before defender closes in. Okay, they keep stats 428 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: for everything. This is every our guy and said, hey, 429 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: it looked like the Bears, with Kyle Long back in 430 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: their offensive line wise was creating some movement, opened up 431 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: that running game. They got it cranking, and enough, here 432 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: you go. Week one, average yards before contact with the 433 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: defender or defender closed in for the Bears. Week one 434 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: negative point three eight, so they're they're behind the line 435 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Week two negative one point five seven, everybody's 436 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: in the backfield. And then week three, in this game 437 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: against the Steelers, plus two point four zero before they 438 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: came in contact with the defender, which was the second 439 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: best of any offensive line in any week so far 440 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: this season, right behind the Chiefs. In that week one 441 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: game they had over the over the Patriots. So an 442 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: outstanding performance offense while a little different with Kyle Long 443 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: in there, and they've got a couple backs and they 444 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: got them rolling on this one. Yeah, they absolutely got 445 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: the run game rolling. They were physical at the point 446 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: of attack. Uh, Mike Glennon didn't have a lot of 447 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: success in terms of throwing the ball, but he's efficient. 448 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: Can you break down the one player we were often 449 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: about by the way Police for where Mike Lennen couldn't 450 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: get the stretch hand off. Couldn't get there, man, he could, 451 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: he couldn't get there. So they were they're basically running 452 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: the outside zone, which is a play with a running 453 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: back is lined up in a diposition right behind the quarterback. 454 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: He is directed to run towards the outside leg of 455 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: the tackle. The quarterback is to take the hand off 456 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: and he's supposed to race over and kind of meet 457 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: him at the mesh point. Mike Lennon could not get 458 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: to the mesh point. As a result, he had to 459 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: keep it. But it was funny to watch. It really 460 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: shows the lack of athleticism and explosiveness to the big 461 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: fellow has no I was I got a good laugh 462 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: out of that. But man, Jordan Howard for a buck 463 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: thirty eight two touchdowns. Cohen popped the long running a 464 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: thirty six yard run. Uh part of his seventy eight 465 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: yards rushing, and uh man, they still have no reseavers buck. 466 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: Everybody throwed the ball five five catches for Howard, four 467 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: catches for Cohen, Benny cunning him with three catches. Those 468 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: are all running backs. Uh. Then you've got Zach Miller 469 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: with one. Then they had Sheat with one. I'm reading 470 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: this wrong. I think Deante Thompson there's one ball caught 471 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: by a bear wide receiver in this game, unless I'm 472 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: rating that wrong. One catch. They won a game with 473 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: one catch by a bear wide receiver. About that, I mean, 474 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: that's the way to utilize your personnel. I mean three 475 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: running backs with catches tied in with one. I mean 476 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy. He's gotta crazy to watch. But 477 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: it worked for them. And their defense is underrated. Their 478 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: defense has been playing pretty well for most of the season. 479 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: They're beginning to hit people and knock people around, and 480 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: then you're getting the complimentary football from the offensive side 481 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: and Toreek Cohen. Um, I know you're always excited about him. 482 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: Seventy eight yards on the ground, another twenty four as 483 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: a receiver. That's the kind of production that you can 484 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: win with. They're running backs a mass, so much of 485 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: their scrimmage yards that the Bears are doing in a 486 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: throwback fashion kind of reminds me todays of Walter Payton 487 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: and Matt Suey. They just everything he's going through. The 488 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: running backs and the other guys are just compliments to 489 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: what they are in the back. I did I did 490 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: overstep it though. Okay, they weren't technically in the game 491 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: against the Bucks. That was a beat down, but they 492 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: were competitive with the Falcons week one, and they were 493 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: very competitive in and in a good win for them 494 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: over the Steelers in this one. All right, number seven, 495 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: But keep the train moving here, I guess maybe the 496 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: airplane moving Jags. I wrote down Jacks level one and 497 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: believe that's the third straight win they've had over there. 498 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: And talking to somebody in the league tonight, he brought 499 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: up a great question and just said, man uh. He 500 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: was telling talking about how the team and had gone 501 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: over there and how it's it's adjustment if you haven't 502 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: done it before, if your team hasn't done it before. 503 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: It's almost treated like a vacation and your sight seeing 504 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: and the set in the other he said, the Jags 505 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: have this thing dialed in. They they've experiment with different things, 506 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: they know how to do it. I think they go 507 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: over there on a Friday. They treated just like it's 508 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: a West Coast trip, so they're familiar with everything. And man, 509 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: it's it's probably more of a home field advantage than 510 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: anybody else would have at their own stadium because this 511 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: is a total different experience and it's old hat for 512 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: the Jags, And you can't argue with the results. No, 513 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: you can't. They definitely have it down. They do a 514 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: great job of preparing for those games, and it is 515 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: a huge home field advantage for them. Uh. The record 516 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: speaks for herself. The way they play over there kind 517 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: of speaks for herself. I think the Jaguars have stumbled 518 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: into a nice recipe for getting wins in the International Series. 519 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: The thing will be uh for the Jacks. Can they 520 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: bring that recipe back home? Can they find a way 521 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: to really own their stadium and win those games at home? 522 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: Because they can win that that is the easiest way 523 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: to become a playoff contender, win all your home games. 524 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: Let's see if they can continue to do it. And 525 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: by the way, I've dusted off my my Dante foul 526 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: report that I was hiding from everything. Oh yeah, it's back. 527 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: I I had to get that thing out from underneath 528 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: the bed dust. It off a little bit, put it 529 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: back on the shelf. Uh. He's playing good. He's playing 530 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: with having a good year so far. Blake Bortles, I mean, 531 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: I think we can't bury the lead here. We got 532 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: to give him some love. Buck Um. He was great. 533 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Were touchdowns, no picks, some tight window throws and they 534 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: found something in the tight end. I mean, has had 535 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the previous three years. He goes to 536 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: the hat trip in this one against the Ravens. Oh no, 537 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: blay Board has played great, and I think the play 538 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: calls did a really good job of setting him up. 539 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: You saw a lot of early down throws and I 540 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: really felt like they were running people off so he 541 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: could dump the ball down to the back so they 542 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: can get in second and three, second and four to 543 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: really be able to stay ahead of the chains. He 544 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: had four touchdowns, three of those Mercedes Lewis. Uh. Those 545 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: plays were a lot of times off deception, play action 546 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: things that were able to lure the second level defenders up. 547 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: He could throw it over the head and he didn't 548 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: hurt them with one of those crazy turnovers that he 549 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: typically has. If he can be efficient and effective and 550 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: lean on those those other players in the past game 551 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: to make plays, they can be a playoff team because 552 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: their defense is playing, is any playing as well as 553 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: any in football. He just can't help the other team 554 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: with these crazy turnovers that he's made in the past. 555 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: All right, here's the stat for you. How about this 556 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: little nugget, uh, Joe Flacco in this game, buck, he 557 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: had ten more passing yards and Blake Bortles had rushing yards. 558 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: That's not good passing yards. Here's another one too. He 559 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: didn't complete his first pass until the fourth thirteen mark 560 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: in the second quarter. Not good. Yeah, that was gross, 561 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: gross display there. The Ravens. More injuries. I mean, that's 562 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: been kind of the bugaboo for this team. But when 563 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: you look at who you're throwing the football too, there's 564 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: there's nothing to get you excited. There's nobody on that 565 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: team that you circle and say, oh, we got a 566 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 1: deal about him. Uh, it's it's an issue for him. 567 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: And then look, they just got caught up in some 568 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: matchups down the field. Tony Jefferson is a great player, 569 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: but that's just he's given up so much size. When 570 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: you split out Mercedes Lewis down there in the red zone, 571 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: not much you can do. But by the way, quit 572 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: real quick. Buck your thoughts on the fake punt by 573 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: the Jags up? I think thirty seven nothing. Hey, here's 574 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: the third quarter. We still playing. You gotta coach team. Uh, 575 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: we had spotted something from the Jackson with jack Jaguars. 576 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm a special teams coach. We spied something. We put 577 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: an automatic on. They didn't. They didn't cover it, so 578 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: we have to do it. I mean, I know Harvard 579 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: and those guys are mad, but hey, we we have 580 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: to continue to work out game plan. We were staying 581 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: true to the game plan and so I know it 582 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of ruffles some feathers, but my job is to 583 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: coach my team. I can't coach my team and your team. 584 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: So I think they need to prepare better. And it 585 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: also helps that they're not in division. They don't necessarily 586 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: have to see those guys twice a year. Yeah, no question, 587 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: but let's let's let's roll through these last three here, Buck, 588 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: and get moving. I wrote down in playoff preview Detroit 589 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I don't know if that's gonna be in 590 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: the in the championship game, but I got a good sense. 591 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: So we're gonna see both those teams getting the crack 592 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: at each other in a wild finish. In this team, 593 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: Detroit completes the ball um and get down. We thought 594 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: they'd scored and won the game, turned out he didn't 595 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: take it a little bit short, and then they had 596 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 1: the bizarre ten second runoff games over. So I'm sure 597 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: every talk show is going to jump into that and 598 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: debate the merits of that rule. Um. I don't want 599 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: to do that, Buck. I just thought, let's appreciate this 600 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: for what it was. I thought the Lions showed up 601 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: and gave the gave the Falcons the heck of a game, 602 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: and I think both these teams are to the best 603 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. I agree, I agree the way 604 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: both teams are playing. I believe that the Atlanta Falcons 605 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: are definitely going to make another run at the super Bowl, 606 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: based on the way their personnel is, based on how 607 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: hungry they are and the way that they've been played, 608 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: But the Detroit Lions are a legitimate squad that we 609 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: have to talk about. Offensively, Matthew Stafford continues to play 610 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: at the m v P level. Uh led them back 611 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: and really I thought it was another one of his 612 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: epic fourth quarter comebacks. Uh it was nullified, but the 613 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: way that he led them down the field and that 614 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: too many situations continues to affirm that he is one 615 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the business. Defensively, they did 616 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: a good job of kind of getting and keeping their 617 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: eyes on the falcons explosive playmakers. I know Julio Jones 618 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: had ninety one yards, but they made him earned every 619 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: yard and they didn't necessarily concede the big play. And 620 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: when you're playing the Atlanta Factors, you can't give up 621 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: the big play to play this over top. For the 622 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: most part, they did a good job of doing that 623 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: and that gives them a chance to be one of 624 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: those teams that it UH not only in as the tournament, 625 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: but it's one of those teams that could possibly be 626 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: a Final four team. How big of a confidence booster 627 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: is it for that young defense for the Falcons to 628 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: have to basically walk off red zone stops early in 629 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: this this early in the season. Yeah, that was a 630 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: tough one though. That was that was, that was, that was. 631 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: They got out of there with this one in the 632 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: in Stafford. They did it with the Bears too, both 633 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: leading a furious, furious comeback there. So look, they got 634 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: the wins. That's all that matters that. I think they 635 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: got two undefeated teams, right, Falcons and the Chiefs. So, uh, 636 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: they're hanging on by a sin thread there, but they 637 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: got the job done at the end when they had to. Um. Yeah, 638 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: we'll see. Confidence wise for that team, I think that's 639 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: not an issue for them. That's a confident bunch and 640 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: they won a lot of ballgames, so they're they're rolling. 641 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: I think we see that matchup again going forward in 642 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Buck down Titans more physical than Seattle. I 643 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: don't know if that's much of a debate. Uh No, 644 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's much of the debate. I think 645 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: the big thing for the Tennessee Titans, we talked about 646 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: it in the very very first week. For whatever reason, 647 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: it seemed like they were out of sorts. They were 648 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: fascinated by trying to make Marcus Mariota into this passer 649 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: we have seen when they get back to the recipe, 650 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: and the recipe for them is to run it right 651 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: down your throat. Has some select complimentary passes with Marcus 652 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: Mariota allow him to use his legs occasionally, but really 653 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: major in the running game, minoring the passing game. When 654 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: they do that, they are a tough out. And you're right, 655 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: they jammed it right down the Seattle Seahawks throat and 656 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: there was nothing that they could do about it. I 657 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: just don't know. I mean, look the Seahawks nights to 658 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: see Russell Wilson get that going through the air and 659 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: Doug Ball would get back on track and man alive. 660 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: I just they can't run the ball. They cannot run 661 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: the ball. They can't run the ball. This is a 662 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: team that is built on the defense, the running game, 663 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: and the russ making plays. Rush Thorn fifty times is 664 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: not a recipe for success. They have to be able 665 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: to run the ball so they can shorten the game, 666 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: control the click, and not expose their defense to what 667 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: they were exposed to today. They just have to get 668 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: the Titans beat the Seahawks at their own game today. Basically, defense, 669 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: ye better version, better version, and so ooky. They've got 670 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: some issues there. One in two Seattle and the division 671 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 1: that's really up in the air when you look at 672 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: it with what's what's going on there? The Rams watch 673 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: out for the Rams because leading the league in scoring 674 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: right now, so it's gonna be interesting there. In the 675 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: NFC West Final takeaway buck um, I wrote down Geronimo 676 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: exclamation point, Geronimo Allison, the guy who did did some 677 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: recon went back and looked it up. I knew we 678 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: had talked about him in the run draft class. Doronalo 679 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: Allison coming out of Illinois and we've drafted for the Packers. 680 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: Big game six for a buck two. I stopped pumping 681 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: his name. I pumped in East West Shrine game, he 682 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: killed it. Came up look what cub up? A little 683 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: art of called by a man named Bucky Brooks saying, 684 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: without question, the best player in this game this year 685 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: is Geronimo Allison. Nicely done. Oh how about that? Hey, 686 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: if you go back and and really think about he 687 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: was awesome that we could practice. Uh, the way that 688 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: he dominated the East West game. It was remarkable to watch. 689 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: He created a little buzz. In fact, I came away 690 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: after that and watching tape, I thought he would be 691 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: maybe a fifth round pick. I am yeah, I am 692 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: surprised that he wasn't drafted, But man, he is come 693 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: on like game busses for the Green Bay Packers. They're 694 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: using him. He Uh, pretty good player. They got a 695 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: little something there. But by the way, you were talking 696 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: to me off the air about the difference that you 697 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: saw in the Bengals off and didn't get the win 698 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: in this one, but there were some good signs for 699 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: that football team, great signs for that that team. They 700 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. They had everything right there for them. 701 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: A couple of things that I noticed in this offense, Uh, 702 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: they were more creative in terms of their pre snap 703 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: movement and shifts. They were quicker, had a better tempo 704 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: um the ball came out quick from Andy's all his hands. 705 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: I felt like they really made a concerted effort to 706 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands, let him get comfortable, 707 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: let him get some easy layups, let him see the 708 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: ball go through the basket, and then expand after that. A. J. 709 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: Green was also a guy that was featured. UH ten 710 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: catches saw him kind of re emerge as the number 711 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: one and then There's no doubt in my mind Joe 712 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: Mixing is going to be the go to back for them. 713 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: His size, his toughness, his ability to run and catch 714 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: the ball out the backfield. He is going to be 715 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: a focal point of this offense. And even though they 716 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: walked out with an al, I think their position to 717 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: really bounce right back, no question. I went back and 718 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: looked up my Geronimo Allison notes here Buck, I gave 719 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: him a sixty one, which is the starter grade, which 720 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: is the third or third round grade. Um, this is 721 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: what got him six oh three, ran four six seven 722 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: at the combine. So I thought he played much faster 723 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: before six seven. But that's what he ran. And my 724 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: notes on him, Uh, off the tape. He was on 725 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: the single side a lot there at Illinois. Uh. He 726 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: we even set up the fenders runs on his toes. 727 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: He sleeked, uh a very fluid, does a nice job 728 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: of working back downhill. I'll tell you what in that 729 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: that long path to to set up the game winning 730 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: field goal, they look a lot faster than for six seven. 731 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: Played a lot faster than for six seven. I don't 732 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: tell you that much. He absolutely did. I remember talking 733 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: to the coaches at the East West they talked about 734 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: I mean they talked about that. They talked about his 735 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: ability to make plays and do those kinds of things. 736 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: And when I went up to training camp, Uh, Mike 737 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: McCarthy was really excited about all the wide receivers that had, 738 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: but he pointed to Geronimo Alison because he is built 739 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: like they traditionally haven't built. He's long, he's leaning, um, 740 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: he makes plays in an offense, and he just has 741 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: a knack for getting open. And he is also developed 742 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: in chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers trust him. That 743 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: is why you see the ball hit in his direction. 744 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: I gotta do something here because we're gonna hear from 745 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: some folks because look in our tent take boys, we're 746 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get into every single game. 747 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: But those are the highlights who wanted to hit. So 748 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: just because I know these fan base, they're gonna come, 749 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: let me just get this out of the way real 750 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: quick here. Uh. Congratulations to the Saints on your on 751 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: your first one of the season dominating performance against the 752 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Well done, New York Jets. We've had some 753 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: fun at your expense. It was a great performance. You're efficient, 754 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: you shut down Jay Cutler and company. Congratulations on your 755 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: first win of the year. Indianapolis Colts. Bad outfit, but 756 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: you got the Brownies, took care of business and a 757 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: very entertaining game between two really bad football teams. You 758 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: got your first win of the year as well. Buffalo 759 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: Bills shockingly two and one, sitting right now with a 760 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: big win. Maybe we should give them, let's, you know, 761 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: let's give them a little bit of love here in 762 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: Buffalo Buck Day. This is a bonus here what they 763 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: did at the Denver Broncos. But the Broncos coming off 764 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: that big emotional win and uh, going across the country, 765 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: this could be a little bit of a trap game 766 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: for him, And hats off the Buffalo They got it 767 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: done really without much of a run game, which is 768 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 1: normally their bread and butter. Oh absolutely, I mean it's huge, 769 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: huge win. I mean, like, uh, send themselves up. It 770 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: was a trap game for the Broncos coming off that 771 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: emotional win. Everyone patting him on the back all week, 772 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: tell them how good they were. They're back, They're back 773 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: to being on top, and the Buffalo Bills were just 774 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: kind of landing cup waiting and what Sean McDermott has 775 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: assembled as a bunch of guys that are kind of 776 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: blue collar workers and they go to work and they're 777 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: beginning to really kind of buy into what he's teaching. 778 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: And so we saw that this defense is coming on 779 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: easy games with a pig to Davis White with a 780 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: big interception. So hey, hats off to them. Impressive win. Uh, 781 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: there's a team that I would say he's on the 782 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: rise and I'm specting to win a bunch of games 783 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: this year. But he's certainly are playing hard and they 784 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: always gives him a chance to win a game. And 785 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: they got a million draft picks next year, so they 786 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to help their football team when we 787 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: get to the spring.
