But jamac 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Cam Schlittler, are we looking at the next great arm 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: in baseball? 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: Six'?

League you, know there's a lot of. 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: Talent cam is a seventh round pick From, northeastern WHICH 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: i thought was a hockey. School so let's talk about. 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: It this was not Like Justin verlander Or Adam wainwright 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: in his, prime Or Oral. Hirscheiser, no, no this is 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: a guy that made his first major league start In, 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: july and he was unbelievable total, composure one hundred miles 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: an hour getting ahead of the hitters Dominated. 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: BOSTON i mean he had such. 35 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Control, now he was relying mostly on, heat but even 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: in the, sixth, seventh and, eight The Red sox batters 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: were behind the fastball twenty years from. Now if you read, 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: well it was a great pitching performance. 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: In the wild card. 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: Round that won't sound, historic but when you consider, age opponent, 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: circumstances it felt all. Timy he didn't walk a single. 42 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: Batter and, again this is a young, kid seventh. Rounder you, 43 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: Know i'm watching it And i'm thinking to. Myself you, 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: know sometimes a field goal kicker will kick like a 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: fifty five yard field goal and you'll, say, man that 46 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: thing could have gone sixty five. Yards i'm watching that 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: kid in the eighth And i'm, like he could go. 48 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: Eleven he's throwing ninety eight and a half seventh eighth, 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: inning blowing the ball by The Red. Sox by the, 50 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: way we beat up on managers all the, time but 51 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: What's alex Carr is supposed to? Do they didn't get 52 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: a runner to second base until the fifth, inning And, 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: boston it looks like after three games came down to. 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: This if The Red sox Ace Garrett crochet was not, 55 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: pitching The yankees were the better. Team So boston made, 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: mistakes The yankees took, advantage and so much of we 57 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: talked about this all, Week so much of baseball is 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: just these high leverage at, bats and last night both 59 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: teams had a, couple but The yankees delivered on their 60 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: high leverage at. Bats, also some you know heirs via 61 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: The Red sox did not. Help we talk a lot about, 62 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: managers but this felt like listen reck the second game 63 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: in a er for The Red. Sox players got to make. 64 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: PLAYS i don't care if it's, HOCKEY mls or. Baseball 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: players got to make. Plays SO i just thought it 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: was one of those sports. Moments maybe it was Like 67 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: Tiger woods at that ONE Us open or it Was 68 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: Michael jordan against The, blazers hitting all those threes when 69 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: he gives you the shoulder, shrug but it felt like 70 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: you were watching. History young kid called up In, july 71 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: grows up in The, northeast Right Red. Sox he's throwing absolute, 72 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: gas doesn't walk a single, batter just moved it around the. 73 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: Plate ninety eight one. Hundred it was just to, me 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: it was just it was a. Masterpiece you, know it 75 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: won't be talked about in twenty years because it's the 76 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: wild card, round but, man that it feel bigger than. 77 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: That for The, yankees we're still waiting for that Next World. 78 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: Series it felt. Huge and Here's Aaron boone After. 79 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: Stars born. Tonight he's special. Kid, Man i'm telling you 80 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: it's obviously amazing. Stuff but he's shown us this from 81 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: the jumb like he's not. Afraid he expects, this and uh, 82 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 4: What i'm not gonna say what he told me last, 83 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: night But i'm not surprised at all by what he. 84 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: Did, yeah we said yesterday it's two young. Guys we 85 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: don't know what we're gonna. Get, well we know what we. 86 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Saw that is an all time performance by a kid 87 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: who just got called Up midsummer all, RIGHT i, mean 88 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: just think about what we've seen in the last. Week 89 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: The packers huge favorite tie The, cowboys the bill struggle 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: at home against The, saints The chargers lose to The 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: New York, giants And i'm gonna throw this one in. 92 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: There the injury ravaged forty Nine ers who didn't even 93 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: run the ball particularly, well go to sofar and beat 94 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: a mostly Healthy rams, team And Matt stafford right now 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: is playing better than any quarterback in the. LEAGUE i 96 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: mean it was jaw dropping to. WATCH i, mean my 97 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: number one takeaway Of Kendrick, BOURNE i know he went 98 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: to my alma. Mater if he is eating your secondary. 99 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: Alive we've said this now five times. Time at the 100 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: trading deadline for The rams to go get a, corner 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: there was not a single receiver or tight end for 102 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: The niners that entered last night's game who had a 103 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: catch for the team last. Year and think about, This 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: this is not. 105 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: A great old. 106 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Line Mac jones was, gimpy got hurt. Again christian McCaffrey 107 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: didn't have a big rush, night so he didn't have 108 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: play action defendoff three Weeks Daniel, Jones Jalen hurtz And 109 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: Mac jones one hundred passer. Ratings they're doing whatever they 110 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: want to. Do and to make it, worse The rams 111 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: have a good pass. Rush this is not like you're 112 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: sitting in the pocket all. Day so The, rams you 113 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: can have flaws in THE. Nfl The rams corners feel. A. 114 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: J brown has eaten once this. Year it was against The. 115 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Rams he had more yards in the second half that 116 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: he's had the rest of the games. COMBINED i believe. 117 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: So And Kenrick bourne he's a good solid three or. 118 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: Four he's a nine year. Vet he's a total. Pro 119 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: but for him to kind of do whatever he wanted 120 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: to that is a major. Problem, also my second takeaway 121 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: is The rams are wasting an unbelievable year By Matt. 122 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: Stafford this is his best year as a. 123 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: Pro you got two running Backs Kyron williams And blake 124 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: Coram coorum maybe a. Bust they have ball security, issues 125 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: you got drop. PASSES i, mean The niners special teams 126 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: had been a liability for three. Years it was The 127 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: rams special teams last night that were an absolute. 128 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: Mess so we entered the. 129 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: Season remember we entered the season worrying About Matt stafford's. 130 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: Back, yeah you want to know why it. Hurts he's 131 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 3: carrying the. 132 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: Franchise two, fumbles three drop, passes a, block, pat a 133 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: miss field, goal and then stopped on fourth and one in. 134 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Overtime he is thirty seven years. Old he has a 135 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: career high passer. Rating The rams are wasting this. Year 136 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: they are wasting it With Matt, stafford and these running 137 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: backs are a. Problem and they drafted this kicker and 138 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: he'd been pretty. Good but when The niners special teams 139 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: are fantastic and yours are, struggling. 140 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: You're in big. 141 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Trouble SO i mean they're running backs And sean mcvagh 142 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: this is driving him. Crazy he got rid of Cam 143 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: akers because he kept. Fumbling Kyron williams now major. Issue 144 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 1: Blake carum can't play Another michigan player behind that great 145 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: old line with The, wolverines And harbaugh gets to The. 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Pros doesn't look the. Part BUT i mean to go 147 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: into that. Game Mac jones old line's been. Struggling special 148 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: teams have been a. Mess Kendrick, bourne who you have 149 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: to rely on, him and Mac jones is throwing. Darts 150 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: first drive on throwing. Darts he got hurt late in the, 151 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: game got back, up did it. 152 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 3: Again Here's sean McVay, after. 153 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 5: And we had a chance to close the game out 154 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 5: and ultimately it didn't go down for. Us there was 155 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 5: a significant amount of, things you, know for us to 156 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 5: even be in, it you, know is a real credit 157 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 5: to the resilience of the Group, jordan you. 158 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: Know but that's not winning football. 159 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: Tonight. 160 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 3: Uh it is. 161 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: Crazy in the last week what you see in this 162 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: league with everybody thought Like, Packers, oh they're just gonna 163 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: mow The Dallas cowboys. Defense and it is overtime forty 164 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: forty tie And chargers lose to The. Giants that game 165 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: is and mcfay's a great, coach And stafford is. Unbelievable 166 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: And Puka nakua is he the best receiver in THE 167 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: nfl right? Now he may, be but it just goes 168 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: to show you in this sport you have got to 169 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: have it buttoned. Up if your running backs are fumbling 170 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: in bad spots one at to one and then deepen 171 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: your own.

Healthy 259 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: they've allowed thirty plus points Has dallas in three straight, 260 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: games probably the worst defense in the. League they're bad 261 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: on third, down they're bad on the back, end and 262 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: they're all beat. Up and they've also allowed a ton 263 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: of big plays And Justin fields with those legs can 264 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: create THOSE i think The jets at, home healthier win 265 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:58,239 Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty. Seven take the. Points broncos At. Eagles 266 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: i'm taking the. Hook denver plus three and a half 267 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: is the Side i'm.

Quarterback really good offensive line In, denver and 273 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: their defense is tied With. Seattle it's only given up 274 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: sixteen a. GAME i think this roster is. Outstanding eagles 275 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: have been outgained in all four. Games now you got 276 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: Aj brown. Drama the offense is thirtieth.

Year they've only got five sacks in four. 279 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: Games so this team is kind of not right now 280 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: working on all. Cylinders maybe if it's a three point, spread, 281 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: No but at three and a, Half i'm gonna Take 282 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: denver to win, close low scoring game twenty four to twenty. 283 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: Three Bucking ears At. 284 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks seattle here second best point differential in THE.

Mistakes, 293 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: Also tampa's got sixteen players on the injured, list So 294 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: seattle is. Healthier they're at, home they're less. PENALIZED i 295 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: like him.

Operate cardinals also 303 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: coming off extra. Rest they're at home where there can be, 304 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: feisty AND i think they're gonna win this, game potentially by. 305 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: Blowout listen To titans that faced for pretty good, Defenses, Broncos, Rams, Colts, 306 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: texans so this is a little bit of a.

Panthers let's see 441 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 9: how he rolls in against The Buffalo. Bills because this 442 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 9: is the ultimate measuring stick for. 443 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: Him, well it doesn't happen, often But i've spent the 444 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: last week Defending Aaron rodgers and my take is he 445 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: is the lowest gridded quarterback according TO, pff and the 446 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: reason being is he's not throwing the ball down the. 447 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: Field my take is is That, aaron and this happens 448 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: in real, time realizes his defense has been so dominant 449 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: in field position and taking the ball away That, aaron 450 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: over the course of a, game is, like, well what's 451 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: the point if we're running? 452 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 3: It, Okay i'm not throwing the ball down the. 453 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: Field he's developed a relationship WITH Dk, metcalf who's a 454 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: great player but kind. 455 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 3: Of an emotional, guy still very. 456 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: Young and my take, is and it's nothing AGAINST pff 457 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: or a grading, system BUT i do think a quarterback 458 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: part of his job is over the course of a, 459 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: game if you're watching your, defense take apart the other team's. Offense, 460 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: okay put away some of the erase some of the 461 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: big swings down the. Field AND i think people Think 462 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: aaron's being, conservative might take it, now he's being. Smart 463 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: there's no reason to take big. Swings what's your take 464 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:40,239 Speaker 1: on his? 465 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 7: SEASON i agree with you one thousand. 466 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 9: Percent this is what she signed up for when you 467 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 9: Wanted Aaron rodgers a guy that's going to get you 468 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 9: in the right. Play he's going to take care of 469 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 9: the football play, situationally right on third down and in 470 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 9: the red. Area and that's what he's been. Doing he's 471 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 9: actually moved around a lot better than he has in 472 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 9: the last couple of years. TOO i, mean two years, 473 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 9: off The achilles looks great and he can still throw the. 474 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 7: Ball Aaron rodgers has forgotten more. 475 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 9: Football than probably seventy percent of these other, quarterbacks and 476 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 9: the fact that he can go out and manage the 477 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 9: game the way he has shows. THAT i, mean it's 478 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 9: been really. IMPRESSIVE i think this is one of the 479 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 9: biggest surprises of the. Season, yeah and you, know you 480 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 9: look at him AND i think they're only going to 481 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 9: get better because time on task. Together they've only had four, 482 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 9: weeks you, know they didn't have a full offseason and 483 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 9: good QUARTER i Remember tom always used to, say you, 484 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 9: know the older he, got he would always, say the 485 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 9: game gets easier because he knows the answers to the. 486 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 7: Test it's if. 487 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 9: Their body can allow them to do, it and his 488 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 9: body can still allow him to do. It he understands 489 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 9: that he doesn't need to take a big hit on 490 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 9: a second and ten early in the. 491 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 7: Game just throw the ball. 492 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 9: Away he's not going to put his team in jeopardy 493 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 9: of throwing crazy deep balls in triple coverage because he 494 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 9: doesn't have to, because like you, said his defense and 495 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 9: get him a couple. Turnovers he's playing the game. Away 496 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 9: The steelers kind of used to play the game With Big. 497 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 9: Ben When Big ben was rallying the. Team you, know 498 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 9: you'd have one or two big, plays but it was 499 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 9: always kind of a muddy. Game play to the, defense 500 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 9: have a good couple special teams play The boswell guy's great, 501 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 9: kicker so he's got a lot of great things going 502 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 9: in his. Favor i'm super interested to see how he 503 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 9: does in THESE x four. 504 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: Weeks so The eagles aren't doing anything well, offensively and 505 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: it's obviously not. Personnel So siriani's not a big scheme. 506 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: Guy he's more of the walk AROUND, ceo kind of 507 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: the culture. Builder so he's very reliant on his offensive. 508 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: Coordinator when he Had Steichen Super, bowl he went To Brian. 509 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: Johnson kind of it didn't work that He's Kellen. Moore, 510 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: okay it, works and now he brings in a new, 511 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: guy it's not as. Good so it could be a coordinator. 512 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: Thing BUT i my question to you is you mostly 513 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: had the same, Coordinator but from your experience in, football 514 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: what's the difference between an okay coordinator and a great. 515 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: Coordinator Because, philly based on their offensive, coordinator has been 516 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: a different offense through the. 517 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: Years, WELL i was. 518 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 9: Fortunate enough to play with two really good offensive, Coordinators 519 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 9: billy O'Brien And josh, McDaniels which they had different, wrinkles 520 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 9: but a lot of the same similar values of how 521 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 9: they want to call the. GAME i still think this 522 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 9: is early in the season For Kevin pluto Or Kevin 523 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 9: patulo and this. 524 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 7: OFFENSE i, mean they've only been together for four. Games last. 525 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 9: Year at this point we thought the you, know The 526 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 9: eagles were not going to make the, playoffs whether they 527 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 9: won and three or two and. 528 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 7: Two they weren't playing good until that bye week. 529 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 9: Came SO i still think that they're trying to figure 530 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 9: out their, offense what they are and their identity this. 531 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 7: YEAR i, mean and that takes a. 532 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 9: WHILE i mean they're still four and oh they're collecting 533 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 9: wins and winning ball games when they're not playing their, 534 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 9: best so you can anticipate that they're going to figure, 535 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 9: out all, right, well we do these things very well 536 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 9: through the first four, weeks we don't do this very. 537 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 9: Well let's scrap, that let's get to, this let's try 538 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 9: to kill this. Tendency AND i think that's the part 539 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 9: of the season that they're. IN i think it's a 540 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 9: little too early to say that they're just broken on 541 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 9: offense because there's only been four weeks and they have four. 542 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 9: Wins you, know you Have Aj, brown who's a talented 543 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 9: receiver who can make your plays on the. OUTSIDE i 544 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 9: anticipate they'd start moving to him around and scheming them 545 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 9: open because it seems like the only rout he runs 546 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 9: is a nine step a nine yard stop route on 547 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 9: the outside on third and, long when you know it's 548 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 9: man coverage and a lot of these corners are now 549 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 9: squatting on, it so you know they're taking that. AWAY 550 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 9: i think a good offensive coordinator they'll start Moving aj, 551 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 9: around trying to get them the ball, early to get them, 552 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 9: happy because you got to keep them. Happy i'm still 553 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 9: kind of broken on how to like evaluate The eagles 554 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 9: team because last YEAR i thought all the distractions were 555 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 9: going to be a, lot and they won The Super. 556 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 9: Bowl it seems like they're going down that same. Road 557 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 9: but they're even better this year than they were through 558 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 9: the first four games than last. Year so let's just 559 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 9: keep on watching this thing out and see how it. 560 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 9: UNFOLDS i think they'll continue to get. 561 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: Better so The chiefs offense had BEEN i mean like 562 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: a water. Pistol they bring In Xavier, worthy who's not 563 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: a number, one he's kind of a speed gadget, guy 564 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: and they bring him in and it looks like the 565 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: Best it looks like The Tyreek Hill chiefs offensive four 566 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: or five years. Ago And i'm, like, Well, worthy he's 567 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: not a number. One he is kind of a gadget. 568 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: Guy but it does illustrate when you bring in an 569 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: over the top. Player it opens up stuff for even running. 570 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: Backs well give me your experience on. That we don't 571 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: look At worthy as an elite Justin jefferson Or Pooka, 572 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: nakua but it's like. 573 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: Just inserting him change the entire. 574 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 9: Offense this reminds me a lot of when we'd have 575 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 9: a guy Like philip Dor said Or Brandon LaFell and 576 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 9: our offense was cooking the most when they would make 577 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 9: one or two plays down the, field because it's it 578 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 9: makes the offense have to defend every blade of. Grass 579 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 9: and that's what speed. 580 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 7: DOES i. 581 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 9: Mean if you look at The Kansas City chiefs the 582 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 9: first four, weeks they were slow on, offense very. Slow 583 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,959 Speaker 9: so then you can condense the middle of the field 584 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 9: and the production for all the guys that eat in 585 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 9: the middle of the field are going to be harder 586 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 9: to get because they don't have anyone that threatens down 587 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 9: threatens them. Downfield and that's what he, DOES i mean the. 588 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 9: Speed all he's got to do is make one play 589 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 9: and get behind the defense once and it changes the 590 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 9: whole complexity of how that defense is going to defend, 591 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 9: them because if they don't want to get beat, deep 592 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 9: they rather Have Kansas city go on a fourteen play 593 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 9: drive and try to make them lose in a situational 594 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 9: battle on third down or in the red area and 595 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 9: collect three. Points SO i think it's a huge addition 596 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 9: to Get xavier worthy because the speed it opens up the, 597 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 9: Offense they're gonna get even better when they Get Rashi rice. 598 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 9: Back you, know this could be a scarier team than 599 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 9: they were last. Year they're going to have more offensive 600 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 9: a weapons this year once they start getting their guys, 601 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 9: Together So i'm excited to watch them in this next. 602 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: Four, finally you got inducted into The Patriots hall Of.
