1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the six d J. 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: Bucky back with you. Buck? How you doing, MANA? But 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm good. Had a great Monday night football watching. I 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: guess watch the session. I guess that's what we call it. 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: When I laid up and watch the Giants and the Cowboys, 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: which was an interesting game. I don't know how intending 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: it was, but it was an interesting game de wise. Yeah, 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: we've had some clunkers, I feel like some of these 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: primetime games and kind of clunkers. We're gonna get into 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: this one. We'll break it down, we'll talk about what 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: we saw and what to expect from these two teams 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: going forward. Uh, some other ground. We're gonna cover the 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: Elso hit on Kyler Murray. Uh, I'll talk about some 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: desperate teams. So we got a lot of different places 16 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna go today. But I kind of want to 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: go off script here to start it off. But because 18 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: I had just seen the story I think late last night. UM, 19 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: and I've been talking to you before we got cranked up. 20 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: You you were aware of it before I was. But 21 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles and their big win over the Commander's game 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: was what it was. But to me, I thought the 23 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: story that came out of that about Nick Sirianni and 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: the video that he showed his team before they were 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: to go play their former teammate and Carson Wentz, was 26 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: a fascinating story. Um, I'll let you go ahead and 27 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: run with it. But it was about Kobe Bryant. Obviously, 28 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: as Philadelphia Ties was a big Eagles fan. Um. But 29 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant before the Redeemed team as they were called 30 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: UH in the Olympics and they were getting ready to 31 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: play his teammate Pau Gasol and Greece and his UH, 32 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: his speech to the team and his actions in that 33 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: game Buck, that story was unbelievable, really unbelievable, DJ, because 34 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: it speaks to the level of competitences that you need 35 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: to bring to the table each week. So in the 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: story you watched, the clip is Lebron, James, Duane Wade 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: and Chris bob Is talking about Kobe Bryant and how 38 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant says before the game, hey, I know the 39 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: first play. The first play is gonna end with Pau 40 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: Gasol sitting the screen in the middle of paint, I 41 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: am going to run through the middle of his chest 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: instead of statement. And you have Lebron James being like, 43 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: you're not gonna do that. That's your teammate from the Lakers. 44 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: You're not gonna do that. Dwayne. Wait, it's like, you're crazy, 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: no way, And sure enough they run to play, like 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: Kobe says, and when they have the natural sound, I mean, 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: he hit pas soul like a free safety patrolling the 48 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: middle of the field and he drills to the point 49 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: that Chris Boss says he's standing beside him like, oh 50 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: my gosh. But what it did was it set the 51 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: tone for how the team was going to play. And 52 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: I just think it's fascinating that Nick Sirianni took that 53 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: moment to let the team know, like, hey, Carson Wentz 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: has done some great things here. He was part of 55 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: a super Bowl team and all of that, but we 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: gotta put all that to the side, and if we 57 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: have to go through him to get it done, then 58 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: we have to go through him. So hats off to 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, But even bigger hats off to the late 60 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant because that is a lesson in being the 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: ultimate competitor, just getting it done. Yeah, I mean he 62 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: said that literally, the words were, this is my brother, 63 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: Paul Gasol is my brother. He's my teammate. Not today, uh, 64 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: not today, he's not and and he did you described 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: it well? It was like a free safety. It was 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: like watching with six Bob Sanders like a missile right 67 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: through palship and and Paal talked about how Kobe went 68 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: over to his apartment over there, uh during the Olympics 69 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: and met his teammates and stuff, and he's like, I, 70 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: looking back on it, I think he was just trying 71 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: to soften us up, like he was. It was a 72 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: mind game type thing with Kobe Bryant. But I thought, look, 73 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, there's different ways trying to motivate your team. 74 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: And some people say, oh, some you know, T shirts 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and slogans are kind of hokey. I was like, man, 76 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: that was right on. That was the perfect message for 77 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: their team because Carson Wentz for you know, I know, 78 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: fans of Philadelphia don't really care for him, and and 79 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: you know, he struggled and people have their critiques of 80 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: him as a player. As a teammate, most of those 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: guys really really liked him. He has a lot of 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: close friends on that team, so that was a good 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: message to put that to the side for one afternoon. 84 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: One other thing I want to hit on buck off 85 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: scratch off schedule before we get back to the rundown here. 86 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: I tweeted this out the other day. I was watching 87 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: some film this morning, maybe the third time I had 88 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: seen this, and I thought, Okay, this is a good 89 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: scouting lesson. We need to talk about it on the 90 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: on the pod because we've talked about the last few 91 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: years that the days of the cover corner and I 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: get paid to cover, I don't get paid to tackle. 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: You know those are over. You see it every week. 94 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: If you have a liability at corner who's not willing 95 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: and not able as a tackler, these play callers and 96 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: these play designers are gonna put him in force positions 97 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: and they're gonna undress him in front of seventy thou people. 98 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: And I've seen it. I've seeing it all the time. 99 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: Now you can't hide anymore out there, No, you can't 100 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: hide it anymore. Um. You have to be able to tackle. 101 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: You have to be able to tackle. And even though 102 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: the league is training towards becoming a passing league with 103 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: you're throwing the ball all over the yard, you still 104 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: have to be able to tackle the space because we're 105 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: seeing these bubble screens and quick swing plays to running 106 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: backs and all these really high completion percentage. But short 107 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: passes go for big games because guys cannot make tackles, 108 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: and what offensive coordinators are doing is they're testing your 109 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: corners ability to tackle over and over and over again. 110 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: And if they can't tackle, it makes for a long day. 111 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: And as much as I love the guys who can cover, 112 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: you have to be complete players. You just can't have 113 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: guys out there who are just covering and not making 114 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: plays in the run game because it advisically will get 115 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,559 Speaker 1: you exposed. And it's only going to get worse later 116 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: in the year because early part of everyone throws it. 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: When you get closer to the playoffs, teams were getting 118 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: to run the football and so you'll see those issues 119 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: become glaring issues if you don't get them solved early. Yeah, 120 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: you can't hide anymore. Um, just one little thing I 121 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: want to throw out there, because in the scouting reports 122 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: is we're doing these guys uh their evaluations leading into 123 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: the draft. You used to be kind of that's just 124 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: like a little sidebar. Okay, cover athleticism, find the ball, 125 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: play the ball, bing bang being and it's like he's okay, 126 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: it's attack like no, no no, no, that's that's moved up 127 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: in the level of importance. And you've gotta be able 128 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: to cover. You can get on the field, that's first 129 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: and foremost. But amongst that group of guys that can cover, man, 130 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: that's a heck of a tiebreaker, because you don't want 131 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: to get caught out there with a little dude who 132 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: doesn't want to doesn't want to tackle, You're gonna get exposed. 133 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: So anyways, that was my soapbox. I'll jump off. No, no no, no, 134 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: you have to be able to tack. If you can't tack, 135 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: you don't have a chance. And so when you look 136 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: around the league and you look at the teams that 137 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: play will uh, let's talk about the Buffalo Bills on defense. 138 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: They tackle will they tackle will From one to eleven, 139 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: everyone on the field is a solid tackling so uh. 140 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: Tackling is a lot of want to and a little 141 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: bit of how to. It's a lot of want to. 142 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: You gotta want to make people, uh, make contact to 143 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: get people to the ground and if you want to, 144 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: then we certainly can teach you how to. But if 145 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: you don't have that want to, man, it's hard to 146 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: put you on the field because you've become a huge 147 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: live building, no doubt. All Right, on a much less 148 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: entertaining topic, what you think of the game last night? 149 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: Or is your biggest takeaways from from Giants Cowboys? Not 150 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: the prettiest, uh, not the pretty But I would give 151 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys credit. I would give Mike McCarthy credit because 152 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: the first couple of years in Dallas, people have taken 153 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: them to task for not being a great coach. Right, 154 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: They've talked about he's kind of been exposed maybe and 155 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Rodgers and all this stuff. I believe the last two weeks, 156 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: I think I have a greater appreciation for the coaching 157 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: job that he has done. The way that the Cowboys 158 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: are playing. They're playing complimentary ball, leaning on the defense, 159 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: the running game, selective playmaking, not his risky on offense, 160 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: and it's worked out for him. This is something that 161 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: I didn't know that they had in their bag, the 162 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: ability to play complimentary football where you need all three 163 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: phases to work as one. The Cowboys have done it. 164 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that they hadn't done the 165 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: first two years and Mike McCarthy's tenure, so hats off 166 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: to him for getting the team to buy in the 167 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: playing team football. I think it's a great example to 168 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: uh two teams around the league. You know there's gonna 169 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: be injuries. Every team has them, and you're out there 170 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: with your backup quarterback and you're finding ways to get 171 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: to the winter circle. So don't make excuses, UM, just 172 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: find a way figure it out and and if you've 173 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: got to step up, some of the the players got to 174 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: step up around him. You gotta step up in terms 175 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: of how you're going to design an attack and protect UM. Now, 176 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it from that standpoint. Again, 177 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: if we want to flip it over the other side 178 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: real quick before we get to to Kyler Murray Daniel Jones. 179 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: I feel like a broken record here. But how do 180 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: you how could you know what you have? You got 181 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: no shot. I don't care who you are. And two 182 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: is the is the great example we've seen two of 183 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: pre pre weapons and pre you know, having a system 184 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: that works and uh, you know, in competence in front 185 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: of him along the offensive line, you've seen to go 186 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: to a whole another level. I like Brian Brian day Ball, 187 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: He's he's he's doing his best to try and give 188 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones a chance. They had so many drop passes, 189 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: on key downs, on big time throws. He got absolutely 190 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: heated up the I guess the uh. I think it 191 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: was the PFF for next Gen stats. The pressure numbers 192 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: were as high as any game this year. I mean, 193 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: it was ridice. I'm looking on I'm looking on ESPN 194 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: dot com just on THEIRS and they have twelve QB 195 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: hits um the Dallas Cowboys had on defense, and they 196 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: heated him up much more than that. So I don't know, 197 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean, may maybe, uh, you know, maybe Joe Shane 198 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: our buddy and Brian day Ball they want to go 199 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: shopping for a different quarterback this offseason. I don't know how. 200 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: You don't even know what this guy is, how can 201 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: you evaluate him? You know, it is a very tough situation, 202 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: particularly based on the way the opensive line played last 203 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: night at the office. Yeah, Evan Neil had a tough time. 204 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: They couldn't keep the Cowboys off of Daniel Jones. And 205 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: if you're uncomfortable in the pocket and you don't have 206 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: dependable receivers on the perimeter. It just makes it hard 207 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: for any quarterback. And I don't care how great the 208 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: quarterback is. If you can't protect him and you guys 209 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: can't catch the passes, what's the point. And so the 210 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: Giants have really a tough decision to make on Daniel 211 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Jones because you almost want to give him an incomplete 212 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: because you just don't know what he is because you 213 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: haven't seen enough of him in a I would say 214 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: a credible offense to know whether you can or can't play. Yeah, no, 215 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: it's a it's gonna be tricked. And hats off to 216 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: them for being too and one at this point in 217 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: time what they're playing with to be to and one, 218 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: that's impressive what the Giants have done all r Let's 219 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray here real quick. Been an up and down, 220 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: up and down start to the season and and just 221 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: when you look at him where he is in his 222 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: career started be interesting to just kind of take the 223 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: pulse a little bit here, what's your what's you're feeling 224 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: on where Kyler Murray at this point in time? You know, 225 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: it's it's really been a bit of a roller coaster 226 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: ride uh A couple of years ago. I mean last year. 227 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: He had this year of his career. When you look 228 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: at the numbers, pass a rating well over a hundred 229 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: uh completed an alarming rate, did a great job of 230 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: kind of getting this offense going. But down the stretch 231 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: he's unavailable, kind of the team fades fast. He's not 232 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: able to kind of get them jump started when you 233 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: see him rejoin the team again in the postseason. So 234 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: here's what we have. We have a very talented player, 235 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: player who certainly was worthy of being number one overall, 236 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: a player who's gotten a bag. But now you have 237 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: to figure out, how do I build a team around 238 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: a player like him, because he's not really a time 239 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: in rhythm player. He's a he's a standlite creator who 240 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: has big time ability, and he's always played in these 241 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: wide open offenses. I just wondered what it would be 242 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: like if he got up on the center something he 243 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: did some of the old traditional Shanahan Michael floor Mike 244 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: mcdand whatever kind of offense you want to call that. Well, 245 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: you took some of the pressure off him having to 246 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: create and put it on the play caller creating opportunities 247 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: because this dude is talented. Uh, it just has a click. 248 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: The offense just hasn't clicked for him yet. Yeah, you 249 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: kind of you kind of took the words out of 250 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: my mouth. I mean I was gonna say, I want 251 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: to see, you know, can he operate in a different 252 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: system and a different setup that have we seen all 253 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: that he can do. I don't want to limit him 254 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: and just say he has to be in the same 255 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: offense he's played at since college, since going back to 256 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: Alan High school. Really, I don't know that he I 257 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: don't know that he can't play in you know, some 258 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: stuff under center. I don't know that he can't play 259 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: in a different style of offense where it's not a 260 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: spread and shred. To steal a Bucky Brooks phrase here, Um, 261 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to see Kenny Kenny, how does 262 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: he look on a team that's maybe got a little 263 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: bit more of a run game or of a physical 264 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: dynamic presence in that run game, and then he can 265 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: have that is um, you know, a passing attack built 266 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: more off of that run game off play action as 267 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: opposed to just again spread everybody out and let him 268 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: try and make some magic happen. I mean, he's he 269 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: does it. You know, every couple of weeks. You'll see it, 270 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: you'll take a ball game over. But we've also seen 271 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: him completely were down at the end of the season. 272 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: It's too much on his shoulders. I don't know. I mean, 273 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: I know they all got extensions there, so nothing's gonna happen. 274 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't imagine after this year, but I'm kind of curious. 275 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: I would like to see if Kyler Murray has a 276 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: little more than we're giving him credit for in terms 277 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: of his versatility. Well, that's one of the conversations that 278 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: you have to have if you're the gentlemanaging HIC coach. 279 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: What can we do to get more out of it? 280 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Is it a little more under center work? Even though 281 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury he doesn't have a background and doing that 282 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, But can you put him in the 283 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: center run some of his own stress game to come 284 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: back and run some of the r p O s 285 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: to create easy opportunities for Can we use more of 286 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: the bootleg stuff? The problem is when they're so ten 287 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: personnel heavy, what running game have they built and what 288 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: complimentary play action pass king can they build to go 289 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: with that all of those things kind of fall into 290 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: the mix, and we're talking about those things without even 291 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: talking about his natural talent and his performance, no doubt. Anyways, 292 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: it's interesting to see where they are there one and 293 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: two right now. The one win was a miracle win 294 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: against the Las Vegas Raiders, So they gotta get some 295 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: things figured out there in Arizona if they're gonna try 296 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: and make a run here at the postseason. All got paid, 297 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: good for them, everybody got paid. But we'll see if 298 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: they can actually pay it off with a successful season. 299 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take quick break, we're gonna come back, 300 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about a couple of desperate games. 301 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: So we've got four teams two games they all need 302 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: to win. It ain't gonna happen. We'll get to that 303 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: after this. All right, Let's look at some teams that 304 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: are under pressure here. We've got two games here, Buck 305 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: and I don't want to say must win in Week four, 306 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: but man, uh, these teams could really use one here. 307 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: We've got Chargers at Texans, We've got Titans at Cults. 308 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: So really a a f C South heavy here when 309 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: we're looking at these two games. But You've got the 310 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: Chargers one and two at the O two and one Texans. Uh, 311 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: Texas have been competitive. Tip of the cap to them 312 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: for that. So I don't think it's a great football team. 313 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: But there's a Chargers team that that played maybe the 314 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: worst game of the year last year at Houston. They 315 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: go back to the scene of the crime. See if 316 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna win this time. But your thoughts on this 317 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: one and uh and how desperate these teams are at 318 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: this point in time, Well, the desperation is really uh 319 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: in l a Land Charges Charges gotta win. They can't 320 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: fall too far behind in this race because the teams 321 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: are too loaded in the f C West. Now people 322 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: talk about parody and those things, but this Charger team 323 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: has to get back on track. To me, if I'm kiding, 324 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: if I am Brandon Stately, this is about a less 325 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: put justin Herbert in his sweet spots, whatever place he likes. 326 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: What are the easy calls is really on us as 327 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: coaches to make you're the star quarterback is able to 328 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: do the things that he does because this is specially 329 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: that deep ball rolling out that's special. But what you 330 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: can't do is let him get beat up like you 331 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: have beat up in a pocket. They have to find 332 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: a way to have the running game to support a 333 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: passing game so they can put points on the board. 334 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna do the charges of 335 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: favor here. Um pulling it up here, I I pulled 336 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: up the top fifteen phrases about excuses. Okay, buck, you're ready. 337 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: It's better to offer no excuse than a bad one. 338 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: That's from George Washington. Uh. Solid one. This is from 339 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin. He that is good for making excuses is 340 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: seldom good for anything else. Like that one. Uh, never 341 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: make excuses. Your friends don't need them, and your foes 342 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: won't believe them. That's John Wooden of the failure comes 343 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: from people who have the habit of making excuses. That's 344 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: George Washington Carver rolling right through these. We have forty 345 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: we have forty million reasons for failure, but not a 346 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: single excuse. That's from Kipling. Uh. Every vice has this 347 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: excuse ready. Uh, and we've got If you really want 348 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: to do what you do it, there are no excuses. 349 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: A man can feel many times, but he isn't a 350 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: failure into until he begins to blame somebody else. That's 351 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: the jump, Bros. We have more ability than willpower, and 352 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: it's often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that 353 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: things are impossible. I'll just do ten here, last one. 354 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: The trouble with excuses is that they become inevitably difficult 355 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: to believe after they've been used a couple of times. 356 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: Long story short, I know they're missing guys. I know 357 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: rashawn S later, you're all protackles out. I know justin Herbert, 358 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: your star quarterback, doesn't feel good. This is the Houston Texans. 359 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: You need to win this game. Absolutely. This is one 360 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: where you can't mess around. Uh, the Charges have given 361 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: up a lot of your cushion. I mean, you talk 362 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: about being able to a team that we expect to 363 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: be at the top of the charts is now wanted two. 364 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: You can't go one in three and so to me, 365 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: this game should have a playoff light, atmosphere and environment. 366 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: They feel, Uh you do that you need to. Yeah, 367 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: it's a bring your own energy game to Uh might 368 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: not have the best atmosphere there. You gotta bring your 369 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: own energy to that stadium, all right. Titans Colts, Titans 370 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: one and two, Colts one one and one both these 371 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: teams coming off big wins, though, can they keep the 372 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: momentum going? Uh? The key to it? Give me the 373 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: one key in this game here? What do you think? Oh, 374 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: it's all about the king. Uh. You gotta make sure 375 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: that Keen Henry gets enough touches to impact the offense. 376 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is the guy that makes the thing go 377 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: for the offense. He is the focal point. He's the workhouse. 378 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: His ability to run the ball success between the tackles 379 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: sets up play action for Ryan Tannehill. When you think 380 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: about Derrick Henry, you think about the physicality and the 381 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: toughness that he brings to the table. It gives them 382 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: their identity. What I like about them against the Raiders 383 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: is they got back to that physical football team, running 384 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: the ball, allowing Ryan Tannehill to throw off play action. 385 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: When you get those things going, that's when this team 386 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: is at his best. They have to beat you up. 387 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: They're not going to out talente you. They have to 388 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: beat you up. They have to make every game a 389 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: freet fight. Yeah. I look at these teams and I 390 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: just think of Michael Jackson man in the mirror like that. 391 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: These are the same teams. They kind of have the 392 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: same identity. They have the same goal in terms of 393 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: how they want to beat you up with their running game, 394 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: with their talent and running backs, a defense that's fast 395 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: and flies around, tries to generate some turnovers. Like the 396 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: really mirror images of one another. Um, I think it's 397 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: a huge game to me when I think about kind 398 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: of the more desperate team, I would say the Colts 399 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: being at home, even though they've only you know, they're 400 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: one one in one, but I think at home for 401 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: them to kind of keep it going, keep it rolling here, 402 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: I feel like this is a game, uh, they really 403 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: need to win. But again, two teams that are very 404 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: very similar, I think it'll be a close ball game. 405 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Looking at the quarterback battle that's going to take place 406 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Ravens, Buck, this is gonna 407 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: be a fantastic matchup taking place in Baltimore. Josh Allen, 408 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, two quarterbacks playing as well as any of 409 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: the league right now. I think Lamar Jackson in terms 410 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: of you know what he's done throwing the football, combined 411 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: with now we're starting to see him run the ball 412 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more, uh and being a little bit 413 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: more I said with his legs. I don't know that 414 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: he's played better ball. I guy just want an m 415 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: v P. But I don't know if he's played better 416 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: than he's playing right now now. I think this is 417 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: the best that we've seen him play in terms as 418 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: a complete player. The one thing that I like is 419 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: people have tried to bless him. He is counted at 420 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: by really being pinpoint and precise when it comes to 421 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: his ball placement in the passing end. But in the 422 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: run game, DJ I think the Baltimore Ravens have figured 423 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: out that Lamar Jackson is better going downhill then going 424 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: side to side. If you notice the running plays that 425 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: they're running, it's more of the power read stuff where 426 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: they're blocking power quarterback power and they're faking the sweep 427 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 1: to the running back. We saw them get away from 428 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: that where they were trying to get him out on 429 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: the edges. I just think he's comfortable coming right downhill 430 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: at the middle of the defense, and he has a 431 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: unique way of protecting himself when he gets going like that, 432 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: because we've seen what three one hundred yard rushing games, 433 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: He's throwing the ball all over the yard. To me, 434 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is playing at his but he's playing better 435 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: than he played as an m v P log. Yeah, 436 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm not a math whiz. I'm full disclosure. I think 437 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: it was a c pretty much every semester in math 438 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: in high school. But the angles are different. When you 439 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: get loose on the sideline, everybody in pursuit you go 440 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: to you know, should you guys do it at your 441 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: high school practice. Every high school in the country does 442 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: pursuit angles, and everybody knows what angle you need to take. 443 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: Try and catch the guys he's going down the sideline. 444 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: A little bit difficult to do. When the guy breaks 445 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, there's no there are 446 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: no angles, they're eliminated, and he just creases you. He 447 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: makes one guy missed at the second level, good luck. Um. 448 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: They are chunk plays. And we said this the other day, 449 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: but I think he's the best quarterback I've ever seen 450 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: it protecting himself in the middle of the field. A 451 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: lot of guys get out of bounds and you'll see 452 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: guys slide and they get way out in open space. 453 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: Even if he has some traffic in the middle of 454 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: the field eight ten, twelve yards down, he has a 455 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: way of just kind of fallen back and not taking 456 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: big hits. It is unbelievable to and I think, you know, 457 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: everyone should have. Maybe they haven't seen his high school highlights. DC. 458 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: I feel like he's doing the same thing he did 459 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: in high school. And maybe because he was always he 460 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: was always skinny or lean, he always had to kind 461 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: of find a way to protect himself. That's why he's 462 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: so good at it now. But really, I can't remember 463 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: a time that he's really taking a clean shot. When 464 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: he's running the ball, he does an excellent job of 465 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: protecting himself. And I think it just gives a different 466 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: dynamic because in the National Football League, no one is 467 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: used to the quarterback running right up the gut. You 468 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: used to seeing him pool and run around the corner 469 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: and they don't want to get hit. But to see 470 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: someone that fast, that explosive coming downhill, it just I 471 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: just think it just changes the way that you have 472 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: to defend. Defend the game. Well, he's gonna need to 473 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: score a bunch of points because the team they're playing 474 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: is gonna put up points. Josh Allen Um about coming 475 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: off that last week against My m I know they're 476 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: disappointed they didn't score as much as they thought they 477 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: should on the field a ton, you know, the entire 478 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: ball game, and it just didn't get the production that 479 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: they quite wanted. Might be a nice job of switching 480 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: things up. You know, we saw some Cover zero, we 481 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: saw two high. Shell did a lot of different things 482 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: against him. Um, I would look for Josh Allen to 483 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: have a monster game against this Ravens group. Look, he 484 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: he should. He should be disappointed because they left points 485 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: on the fielding critical situations at the end of the 486 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: first half where they just kind of messed up what 487 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: it was they were doing. He was supposed to clock 488 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: the ball, he botched the snap and throw it out. 489 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: The Stefon digs they run out the time, and then 490 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the game where they couldn't get it. 491 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: I think anytime with Josh Allen, when they have a 492 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: game like that where he doesn't play his best, he 493 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: typically responds in a big way. The trick will be though. 494 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: I'm curious does he decide to do more because I 495 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: felt like they've kind of kept them away from having 496 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: to be the one man show. They've tried to kind 497 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: of even it out. I wonder after that loss, if 498 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: he's like, you know, I got this. I'm gonna put 499 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: this on my back. Particularly both know that I think 500 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: we know that answer. I think we both know that answer. Yeah. 501 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be the showdown between 502 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks, showing the football world the new way 503 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback position is played. Absolutely, I want to encourage everybody. 504 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: On Thursday night, you can watch the Dolphins versus the 505 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: Bengals eight fifteen Eastern on Prime Video, also available on 506 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: NFL Plus. Uh. This is a Bengals team that got 507 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: right last week against the Jets. Obviously, you look at 508 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and that went over the Bills. They're writing high. 509 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: It's a quick turnaround though for the both these teams. 510 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: What do you expect here on this uh? This matchup 511 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: here between two of and Burrow. You know, I wondered, 512 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: because the Dolphins are so emotional after that game with 513 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, because that was a big game. Can 514 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: you turn around and have the juice again that quickly? 515 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: To me, I think it's a trap for them going 516 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. I think Cincinnati knows that this is an 517 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: opportunity for them to get all the way back started. 518 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: Only two can get the two into national state, national audience. 519 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: The first time everybody gets to see them. I think 520 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: we'll see the best performers that we've seen from the Bengals. 521 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: This is a tough one for the Mammi Dolphins on 522 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, it's a tough one on the road, 523 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: no doubt. I still think though you've got some firepower offensively, Uh, 524 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: if you're the Dolphins. I thought last week the Jets 525 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: had some opportunities. They didn't cash him in um and 526 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: I know in luck every game is important. I know 527 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: people don't give much lip service to this stuff, mattering 528 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: the to a burrow thing, that rivalry going back to 529 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: L s U Alabama. I think that I think that 530 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: is something I think too would love to get this 531 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: one if he could. Oh you think you think that's 532 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: a real I think that's a real thing. It's real. 533 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: I think it's real that kind of took the crown 534 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: from him. They did, I think for two of I 535 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: think all these games are big because remember this is 536 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: national televised game, meaning all eyes are on this game, 537 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: and he's heard, you know, he's had here to white noise. 538 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: People talk about him over and over and over again. 539 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity for him to kind of 540 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: dispel the miss in the narratives about his game, and 541 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: so what a better way to do it than they 542 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: have a big game. I guess the Bengals team to 543 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 1: represent the a f C in the Super Bowl. So 544 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: maybe you're on the sun, maybe this is a little 545 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: bigger than I'm giving it in terms of how two 546 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: of you are going against Joe Burrow. Yeah, no, it'll be. 547 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: It'll be a fun one. Another fun one to watch. 548 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna be the London game Vikings Saints live live 549 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: on NFL Network on are UH from Tottenham Hoppers Hotspur 550 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: Stadium Sunday, nine thirty a m.

Uh. I think 562 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: I think the Dodges are one step closer to uh 563 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: getting uh that that that that they win thing. Oh, 564 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: I will say this, and it's not even anything that's 565 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: coming on out network, but the was the uncivil war 566 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: that they're talking about Yankees and Dodgers going all the 567 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: way back to when they head back to back World 568 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: Series appearances. It's a little third look. I don't want 569 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: to give a pluak another thing, but it looks fascinating. 570 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: I have to check that out. So this is when 571 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: the Dodgers were winning like more than one every thirty years. 572 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: So it's just like, is it in black and white? 573 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Yeah, it's in black and 574 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: white and stuff for me because Reggie Jackson was my 575 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: favorite player going up. So it's just I think I 576 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: might I'm gonna see how tonight goes. If the Potters 577 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: are not competitive in this game against the Dodgers tonight, 578 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: I won't go tomorrow night. But if they are competitive, 579 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: I think I'll go out to Peto. We got are 580 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: we got our magic? We are we still doing these 581 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: measuring stick games? Is that what we're doing we still 582 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: doing these measuring stick games. If anything, just please, please please. 583 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: I want to get the Dodgers in a five game series, 584 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: somehow squeak it out three to two, and oh man, 585 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: I will, I will, I will be over losing to 586 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: you with app State Carolina losing to you, charges Jacks, 587 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 1: Oh man, I would trade it off. The Pods can 588 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: somehow'll get the Dodgers in the postseason and take care 589 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: of them. But I'm not very confident. Let be honest, No, 590 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: all the confidence is all gone. It's not there. But 591 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: we'll see. We're playing with house money, we got no pressure. 592 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: Were good. We're gonna win ninety games without the best 593 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: player in baseball. It's not a bad year. I mean, 594 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: it's not a bad year. It's not a bad year. 595 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: But you can't talk about the Dodges being like the 596 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: eighties and nineties Braves. If you can be satisfied we're 597 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: just racking up a bunch of wins, they have nothing 598 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: to show. I'm not saying that we're any good. I'm 599 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: just saying the Dodgers are the nineties Braves. Like that's 600 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: not I mean, I shoot, I'd kill to be the 601 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: nineties Braves. We haven't been. We haven't been anything. So 602 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't think we've been at the postseason in a 603 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: full one six two since two thousand and six. I 604 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: was working for the Ravens in two thousand six, Bucks, 605 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: where were you in two thousand six? I was working 606 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panthers, trying to figure out how we're 607 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: gonna get it done? And we were Yeah, we were 608 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: like at Cal that you were bringing donuts and we 609 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: were looking at people living in trees up at Cal Berkeley, 610 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: questioning our life choices. That's where we were at that 611 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: point in time. It's true, true story. Man, morning practice, 612 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: remember that probably up there a scouting like Jordan, all 613 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, that's a long time ago. Alright, let's 614 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: get out of here. I appreciate everybody hanging with us today. 615 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: We've got one more pod coming this week, so be 616 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: on the lookout for that. We appreciate you. See you 617 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: next time. Right here, I'll move the sticks.
