We'll jump into that as well. But Buck, 32 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: you wrote an article on this candidates for the Coach 33 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: of the Year and some interesting names on here. I 34 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: want you to rattle off your top five and I'm 35 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: gonna see if I can't find one that I think 36 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: is missing that we should add to the mix. 37 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Okay, tough five. 38 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: We'll do it in o particul order because this was 39 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: written last week before that the games took place. But 40 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, Dimiko Ryans, Dan Campbell, Kevin O'Connell, and Kevin 41 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 3: Stefanski are the five guys that I have in serious consideration. 42 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: For Coach of the Year. 43 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: All right, that's a good list here. Let's start at five, 44 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: will work our way down. Give me the case that 45 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: you would make for these guys winning the award, and 46 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: I'll give you the two three names outside the list 47 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: that I think deserves some attention. 48 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, Kevin Savanski overcoming the adversity that he's faced. This 49 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: is a guy that finally expected to have his franchise 50 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: quarterback in Deshaun Watson. He thought he would not only 51 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: have him, but he thought he would have the Shaun 52 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: Watson playing at a high level. Neither of those things materialized. 53 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 3: The Shawn wasn't playing great, has some flashes, but wasn't 54 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: playing great, and then he's hurt and he's out for 55 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: the year. So what Kaemas Stavansky's had to do is 56 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: look try and figure out how to run this offense 57 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: without Deshaun Watson, without Nick Chubb while leaning on a 58 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: defense that is getting it done. So first he rills 59 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 3: off a few wins with PJ. 60 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: Walker. 61 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: He then inserts dtr during the time Romison into the 62 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 3: lineup and they continue to do it. This is a 63 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 3: team that is now sitting at seven to three strong 64 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: possibility that they're gonna make the postseason, and is only 65 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: because Kaemas Stevanski has adapted the way that he approaches 66 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: the game, the way he calls the game and is 67 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: really leaning on the defense that Jim Schwartz has balling 68 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: at an unbelievable level. 69 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I look, I think he absolutely belongs on this list. 70 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: When you lose your starting quarterback and you've rolled through 71 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: a couple different guys and just finding ways to win games. 72 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: To me, that's the coach of the year is just 73 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: overcoming obstacles and finding way to win games. And I 74 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: think that there's so many close games in this league. 75 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: You find a way to win more of those than 76 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: you lose. You get yourself to the playoffs. You get 77 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: yourself from the coach of the Year discussion. I'm with 78 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: you on Kevin Stefanski, number four on the list might 79 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: be number one for me. A Kevin O'Connell buck make 80 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: your case. 81 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: Oh look, man, we talk about a team that was 82 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: expected to rebuilding, the Minnesota Vikings. Not only are they 83 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: not rebuilding, but they're contending. And they're contending because he 84 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: hired Brian Floyd's in the offseason to remake the defense. 85 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 3: The defense is one that is confounding and confusing everybody 86 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: with that cover zero red blitz scheme that he's utilizing. 87 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: But the work that he's done quickly with Josh Dobbs 88 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins was playing at a great playing great football. 89 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: For the Vikings. He gets hurts. 90 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: Josh Dobbs comes in no practice, gets on the field, 91 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: has an outstanding game, wins his debut, and then I'm 92 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: watching them and even in a loss against the Denver Broncos, 93 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: it is as if Josh Dobbs has been their starting. 94 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: Quarterback for years, no slowing down. 95 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: He's found a way to like get this game plan 96 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: fully expanded without confusing the quarterback. To me, that is 97 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: a great coaching job. And you know, because we know Kevin, 98 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: like Kevin just does a really good job of making 99 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: things very very easy for his players. Great personality, great communicator, 100 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 3: and all of those things have gone into his players 101 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: playing really well. Not only Josh Jobbs, how about Jordan 102 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: Addison coming out of se stepping onto the field filling 103 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: the number one role with Justin Jefferson out. You think 104 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: about your teams and the Coaches of the Year candidates. 105 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: You need to be able to do the most with 106 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: the least. He certainly maximized the talent of this bend 107 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: as supposed. That's why he's a big time candidate for me. 108 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also, you know they didn't start out great, 109 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: so you're not starting out great and then you lose 110 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: cousins along the way and so you've got to completely 111 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: turn it around, and he did it with Josh Dobbs, 112 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, just arriving newly in the building. Yeah, he's 113 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: done an unbelievable job. Kevin will be in the mix 114 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: here for Coach of the Year if they keep this going. 115 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell and the Lions just continuing to build off 116 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: of what he did last year. 117 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: Buck, Yeah, just continued to do that and Dj. 118 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: We've kind of talked about the trend that we might 119 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: see in the coaching cycle, the rough and gruff type, 120 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 3: the former player getting the opportunity to do it. Kevin 121 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: O'Connell spent time in the league. Now you talk about 122 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: Dan Campbell, another former player who is having success. You're 123 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: going to see more of this. And the thing about 124 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: Dan Campbell's success Downtroden franchise didn't have an identity, and 125 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: he found a way to really impose his will on 126 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: the team. This is a tough, gritty football team. Wanted 127 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: to reflects the city of Detroit. He's done a really 128 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: good job with Jery GoF Jared Goff was kind of 129 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: viewed as a throwaway piece in the trade when they 130 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: shipped up Matthew Stafford to get a bunch of picks, 131 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: and Jery Goff has just played at a Pro Bowl 132 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: level for them. This is an offense that's balanced a 133 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: tough upfront with their offensive line. 134 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 2: Defensively, they could play. 135 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: Better, but man, they do a lot with eight and 136 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: Hutcheson kind of leading the way. This is just a really, 137 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: really good team. And what I love about it is 138 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: he's built this team in the mold of the San 139 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, teams that are 140 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: solid at the line of scrimmage and they play a 141 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: style that last the test of time. 142 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: And so the Detroit Lions. 143 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: I mean, people may viewed them as a flash and 144 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: a plan, but when you look at them, they're built 145 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: for the long call. Because that offensive line and that 146 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: building defensive line is coming and he. 147 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: Got skill players in a quarterback. They gives them a 148 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: shit to be good for a long time. 149 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing a lot of young players, which to 150 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: me is a good sign of coaching that you're getting 151 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: those guys up and ready, and they're getting impact from 152 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: those guys each and every week. You look at them 153 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: in the close ball games being bold. Think about the 154 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: game I saw with the Chargers go forward on fourth 155 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: downand youre already in field goal range to put the 156 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: game away. So it's a bold, aggressive style that he's 157 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: playing there. And just last week they're down, not playing 158 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: great offensively, showed some grit and some toughness to come 159 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: back and win that game as well. So, yeah, Dan 160 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: Campbell has done a masterful job. They're really building a 161 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: team in his image, which gets me to number two 162 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: on the list because I think you could the same 163 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: for Demiko Ryans in Houston. 164 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, another one. 165 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: You know you're talking about man a two time pro bowler, 166 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: quickly a sins to be a defense courter and now 167 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: as a head coach. The Houston Texans were thought to 168 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: be a team that would be playing for a lottery pick, 169 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: Like how high they're going to finish when it comes 170 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: in the draft class? 171 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: What is that pick going to look like? For the 172 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals and stuff? You're the Cardinal. 173 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: You're little disappointed because right now the Houston Texans are 174 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: in the playoff tournament and they're playing a first place 175 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: game this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Didn't no one envision. 176 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 3: Let's start with the quarterback c J. Stroud And say 177 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: what you will about c. J. Stroud, whether they wanted 178 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: him or didn't want them or whatever, it has worked 179 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 3: out well for the Houston Texans. He is playing at 180 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: a high clip. He's playing with a maturity beyond his years, 181 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: and his confidence, his swag has been infectious. They got 182 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: a bunch of young, un heralded playmakers that are making plays. 183 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: Tang Dill, Nicole Collins, you got Noah Brown. All of 184 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: these guys are contributing. And then on defense, it's nothing 185 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: complex about what they're doing and they just play hard. 186 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 3: They're physical, they're running to the ball, all the things. 187 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: When you see a team that plays hard, that gives effort, 188 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: don't make a bunch of mistakes, that's coaching. And he's 189 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: found a way to take a team that was a 190 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: loser and turned him into a team that's on the 191 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: verge of winning and winning big. 192 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt again. I just I look at these teams. 193 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: They're relying on so many young players. And we'll get 194 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: to the rookie impact scores from this last week, but 195 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: with Houston, I mean that to me is a sign 196 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: of coach. Any anybody can take a bunch of stud 197 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: veteran players, throw them out there and let them do 198 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: their thing. But when you're getting i mean, especially at 199 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, you getting a rooie quarterback up and running, 200 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: rookie receivers, rookie defensive end, rookie linebacker like they're they're 201 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: playing all these young players and they're getting them to 202 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: play at a very high level. To me, that's a 203 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: sign that you're doing things the right way. And I 204 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: give Demiko Ryans a lot of credit. I think you 205 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: could say he's almost in the mold of the guy 206 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: that you have at the very top of the list 207 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: of Mike Tomlin. 208 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike Tomlin tell about doing the most with the least. 209 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: This is a team that is defensive driven, not because 210 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: they wanted to, but because they've had to be because 211 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: offensively they've been terrible. 212 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: They've been terrible all year long. 213 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about a team that struggles getting 214 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: to the twenty point mark, but it doesn't matter because 215 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: they continue to win. And of all the coaches and 216 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: teams that really embraced winning ugly, I think the Pittsburgh 217 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: still isn't bodied that no ego involved in it. They 218 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: just try and find a way to win. Games, they 219 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: win it, they don't apologize for it. They get it done. 220 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: Now a little more scrutiny on the team because he 221 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: just fired Matt Canada, the offensive coordinator. They weren't being 222 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 3: very productive. He talked about is about scoring points and 223 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: they need to score points. But even with those issues, 224 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: they still are a team that is right there. They're 225 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 3: still right in range to win the AFC North. They're 226 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: right there to go into the postseason. I think you 227 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: have to tip your hat to the job that he's done. 228 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: So far, no doubt. Yeah again and making the tough decision. 229 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: First time since nineteen forty one they fired a coach 230 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: in season, So going outside the arm a little bit, 231 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: knowing that it was a desperation time and you need 232 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: to make the move. You can't sit back and wait 233 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: any longer, and he makes that change at the offensive 234 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: coordinator position. All right, I'm gonna give you the three 235 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: coaches I thought deserve to be in the conversation, whether 236 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: or not, however you rank can We still got some 237 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: season left to go here, but here are the three names. 238 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, John Harbaugh, Shane Steichen. I think you can 239 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: make a case at all three of those guys have 240 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: done a really nice job this year. 241 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: Oh, you absolutely can make a case for it. Let's 242 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: start with Sirianni and the Philadelphia Eagles. The toughest thing 243 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 3: to do DJ is when you lose the Super Bowl 244 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 3: is to then bounce back and come right back and 245 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: have maybe even better team than you had the year before. 246 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: Everyone talks about the motivation to go back, but the 247 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: challenge is you're motivated to go back to a game 248 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 3: in which the road is going to be more difficult 249 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 3: to get back because you play a tougher schedule. Everyone 250 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 3: knows exactly who you are and can you shake the 251 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: hangover of losing when the confetti falls on your shoulders. 252 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 3: But it's not for you, hard, challenging, difficult. I don't 253 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: know if there's a coach I'll say this. I'm sure 254 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: some people get annoyed with this antics, but if it 255 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: works in Philly, it's a little Khaki little boy. 256 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: Did you see him running off the field? Did you 257 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: see the video of him running off the field. 258 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: I've seen him. I've seen him take those victory leafts. 259 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: I also know that the last person, the last person 260 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: that took victory last was John Gruden for the Raids. 261 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: So but look, it's worked. It works for them. 262 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: You talk about the young players that are playing, He's 263 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: done a really good job of getting young players kind 264 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 3: of fit into the program while also leaning on those veterans. 265 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: He's just a really good coach man. I give him 266 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 3: a ton of credit. We talked about the introductory pressor 267 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 3: where it didn't start well, but it's certainly ending well 268 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: for the Philly Eagles because they have a really, really 269 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: good coach. 270 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got an edge to him, and I think 271 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: you see that in the way they play too. 272 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: Even though he's an offensive guy. 273 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: I think his personality transfers over to the defense a 274 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: little bit. 275 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: Yea works. 276 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: The little swag, the coakness and all those things work 277 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: when it's authentic, and I think it's authentic. The other 278 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: thing I would say is don't underestimate the fact that 279 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: he won and wanted a high I think he played 280 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: with it Mountain Union. 281 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I believe so. 282 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, they won a lot of games, and so he 283 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: understands what it should look like, even though it's different. 284 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: But he's been around winning coaches. He's been able to 285 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 3: press upon that on the Eagles, and man, they are 286 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: just a competitive group and he is in lockstep with 287 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: the quarterback. He and Jalen Hurts keeps his train runer. 288 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: It's a really good team, you feel. 289 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: It, no doubt. And then how about harrorball. To me, 290 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: I just think I think they might be the best 291 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Just studying them getting ready for 292 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: this game. They're really good, man, They're a really good 293 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,479 Speaker 1: football team. 294 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny because they just kind of always 295 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 3: are there like it. It doesn't always look pretty. It's 296 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: you know, they're undergoing the offensive makeover. They're now putting 297 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 3: the ball in the hands of Lamar Jackson Moore, but 298 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: as a thrower as opposed to a runner, and they're 299 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: finding ways to win games. This defense, I mean, we 300 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: talk about a DJ and you've kind of shed light 301 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: on them as it comes to a philosophical standpoint. They 302 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: put their money in the back end. They worry about 303 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: coverage more so than rush, and they feel like they 304 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: can manufacture the pass rush. 305 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: And they've been able to do it. 306 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: Mike McDonald is an underrated which you should be a 307 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: head coaching candidate because the job that he's done in 308 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 3: terms of individually putting Calvin Noi and Justin Manibuke and 309 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: all these other guys in positions to get sacks. Just 310 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: based on the individual talent, He's done a really good job. 311 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: They this is a solid overall team. The only thing 312 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: that I worry about with them, of their three losses, 313 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: all of them have come with like blown leads. So 314 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: I don't understand why a team like that has not 315 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: been able to close it out. They need to figure 316 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: that out because I would hate to see that come 317 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 3: and kind of be there. They're undoing in a critical 318 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: game down the. 319 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: Stretch, no doubt. 320 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: And then finally Shane Stike and we talked about him 321 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: the other day Indianapolis. The schedule's favorable. They're sitting right there. 322 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: They're another team that nobody talks about the fact. I 323 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: know he's a rookie, but they lost a quarterback early 324 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: portion of the season, and here they are. They're right 325 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: in the mix to get into the postseason and with 326 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: a chance outside chance to win the division. 327 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, outside chance to win the division. The reason why 328 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: his job. 329 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: Is so impressive is because he lost the rookie quarterback 330 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: and he's working around the quarterback that he has who 331 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: has limitations. Garna Minsh who has limitations, and so what 332 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 3: they've done is they found a way to keep him 333 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 3: on a pitch count without Garna Minshew knowing that he's 334 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: on a pitch count, and so they've committed to running 335 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 3: the football. Gus Bradley has the defense playing fast. They 336 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: recently let Gores shack Leonard, but it was a blip. 337 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 3: I can appreciate coaches when they can have those hard 338 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: conversations with great players who are no longer playing well. 339 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: He was not afraid to pull them out the lineup. 340 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 3: To me, man, that's what coaches have to do. You 341 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: got to make those million dollar decisions. What are we 342 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 3: going to do as for the best of the team, 343 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: the betterment of the team. And he's done that over 344 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 3: and over again, which is why this team is right now. 345 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: Let's go through this rookie impact score for this last 346 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: week real quick, and then we'll take a break and 347 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: come back with our game of the week. But this week, 348 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: the top rookies according to the little index that we 349 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: put together here, which again takes into account production and playtime. 350 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: Tank Dell at the top of the list, Jaden Reid, 351 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: Jami Bibbs, hookin Nakua, how about this. Tommy DeVito, the 352 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Giants, played well. Uh, Brian Branch. We 353 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: get a couple of defenders on the back end, Brian 354 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: Branch and Jai ear Brown. I want to talk about 355 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: jaiyear Brown for a second because he's going to be 356 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: playing a big role for the Niners now that tallaoa 357 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: Hufunga is out for the year. I went back and 358 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: looked up my notes. Buck he was my top safety. 359 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: He's my sixty sixth overall player. It wasn't a great 360 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: safety draft last year. He ended up being the eighty 361 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: seventh pick, so he only ran four six five. Again, 362 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: we say this every year on the safety front, don't 363 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't get super carried away with the forty on 364 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: the safety So uh five one three two oh three 365 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: thirty one in a quarter arms ran four sixty five. 366 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: He's a former corner, high character, middle of the field, 367 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: deep half. He's got range. He had four picks. He 368 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: can drop down the box if you need him too. 369 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: He can shed guards. He runs with tight ends easily. 370 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: You watch the Auburn game. He has a sack and 371 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: a force fumble thought. He played with a real physical edge. 372 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Plays bigger than his two hundred and three pounds. But 373 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: you've got when you've got intelligence, you've got ball production, 374 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: and you've got toughness. Those safeties can play every day, 375 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: all day. And it's no surprise that he's jumped right 376 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: into the lineup and looks really, really solid. 377 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: He does look really solid. And what I remember going 378 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: back to him was he was the takeaway king affection. 379 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: He called that at Penn State. When you went back 380 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: and looked at all of his stuff, he always had 381 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: a knack for being around the ball. Interceptions, forced fumbles, 382 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 3: fumble recovery, is just always around the ball. And what 383 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 3: we've learned DJ guys that do it in college, they 384 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: continue to do it in the pros. And so we 385 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: can worry about the speed and those things, but when 386 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 3: you watch the plays that he made, to me, they 387 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 3: were instinctive plays. They weren't just random plays where the 388 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: ball just hit him in the chest. He made those 389 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: plays and he has continued to make those plays as 390 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: he's ascended to the National Football League. He's gonna step 391 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: and he has big shoes to field, but man, he's 392 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: a really he's an impact player who should make an 393 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: impact on his defense. 394 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the forty nine ers hitting on mid round picks. 395 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, that's huge. 396 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: This is amazing how some teams can do that. 397 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: How some teams just having that for being able to 398 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 3: find guys third or fourth round. 399 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, that's okay, we'll take me. He's a good player. 400 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: Like whatever you guys think about him not being fast 401 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: enough for whatever he's for Doctor Man College. 402 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: We can put him in our sets. Me. 403 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 3: It'll be productive. And some teams just can continue to 404 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 3: do it. It's really amazing, Homa. 405 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: That's all right there for him. All right, let's uh, 406 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: let's take a break. We'll come back, we'll hit the 407 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Game of the week. 408 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 3: It's time for the MCS Game of the Week, presented 409 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 3: by Draft Kings Sportsbook. This week it's the Buffalo Bills 410 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 3: taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. The spread is minus three 411 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 3: and a half favoring the Eagles. The over under is 412 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: forty eight and a half. I'm gonna be honest with you. 413 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: At the beginning of the year, I would have been 414 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: really excited about this game because I thought we would 415 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: have got two of the top teams in the respective conferences. 416 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: It'd been another battle. 417 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 3: Royale lost some of that luster a little bit, but 418 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 3: maybe the Buffalo Bills are coming back. They made the 419 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 3: move offense coordinated, they get rid of Dorsey, elevate Joe Brady. 420 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: Offense look different. They're kind of moving. 421 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 3: To me, this is a test for the Buffalo Bills 422 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 3: against Philadelphia Eagles, because if they knock off the Eagles, 423 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: the narrative begins to change around the Buffalo Bills again. 424 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 3: We then began to reconsider them as a legitimate title 425 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: contender because they made to move on offense, and if 426 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: it looks like it looked last week, would be optimistic 427 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: that this team can get on track going into the tournament. 428 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: Let me give you my my quick two cents, my 429 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: idea for Sean McDermott, take it or leave it. But 430 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: you are playing against a Philadelphia team coming off their 431 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: biggest win of the season. And by the way, I 432 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: know if you saw the ratings for that game, it 433 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: was like the it's the most watch Monday night football 434 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: game in a zillion years, and it's the I think 435 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: it's the most watched regular season game going back to 436 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: like a Thanksgiving Day game several years ago. So that 437 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: was as big of a regular season game as we've 438 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: ever seen. With you know it coming down to the 439 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: very end, very emotional that the Eagles around a short week. 440 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: If I'm Sean McDermott, buck, I might come out, I 441 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: might go tempo early in this game. See if this 442 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: is in a little bit of a tired Eagles team, 443 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, mentally, emotionally, physically, yes, they did. I might 444 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: come out trying and push the gas pedal down a 445 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: little bit. If I'm the Bills, well why not? 446 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 3: And I also think like when it comes to tempo, 447 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 3: pushing the pedal a little bit might help your quarterback 448 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: continue to play at a high level. There is something 449 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: about tempo that simplifies the game for quarterback, getting them 450 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: in a rhythm. They have to see a couple of 451 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 3: layups go in and then you kind of jump start 452 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: this offense. You put the defense on the heels, and 453 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 3: so rather than you being reactive, you're now in attack mode. 454 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 3: To me, Josh Allen plays better when he's an attack mode. 455 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 3: When he's going they just kind of let him be 456 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 3: the one man show that he is. 457 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 2: That's Buffalo Bills football. 458 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 3: We can say he didn't need to take it off 459 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 3: of but now it's money time, and to me, I'm 460 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 3: gonna put the ball in Number seventeen's hands, and I'm 461 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 3: gonna say, look, you're going to decide I fate one 462 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 3: way or the other, but we're gonna ride or down 463 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 3: with Josh Allen making plays and look the only way 464 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: that he can make them that improvisational fashion. 465 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think also get the ball out quick. To me, 466 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: I think getting the rhythm getting a little hurry up, 467 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: get a little tempo going, get the ball out of 468 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: your hands quick, because you don't want to hold the 469 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: ball back there against this Eagles front. I think that's 470 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: key on that side of the ball. Then you flip 471 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: it over the other side. From the Eagles standpoint, I 472 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: think they found at something here with DeAndre Swift getting 473 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: him going. I don't know that you want Jalen to 474 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: have to carry quite as much of the burden as 475 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: he did last week. I think he had twelve carries 476 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: something like that, So maybe back off him a little bit. 477 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: See if you can't keep DeAndre Swift rolling here. 478 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Deandres Smith has given him some pop in the 479 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: running game, and I just think really the threat of 480 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 3: Jalen running can't continue to allow DeAndre Swift to. 481 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: Have big games. 482 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 3: All he has to do is pull it once or 483 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: twice early, makes the defense respect him, and then you'll 484 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 3: start seeing those zone reason power reads. 485 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: They go to deandreso. 486 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: If you start seeing those plays, start delivering explosive plays, 487 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: and then the one on one battles on the outside, 488 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: you a buffalo bids. You gotta figure out how you 489 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: gonna stop a j. Brown and Devonte Smith. You'll only 490 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: double one of those guys. The other one has shown 491 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 3: the ability to hurt you on big plays. Devonte Smith 492 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 3: being able to get over the top and behind the defense. 493 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 3: They give you a lot to think about. If I'm 494 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: Buffalo numb more emphasis. We got to play clean. We 495 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: got to make sure we don't have any penalties to 496 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: give them extra downs, extend drives. And then we got 497 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 3: to somehow find a way to stop the running game. 498 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 3: Even though we're light up front. Still have to make 499 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts become a passer. He has to throw it. 500 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 3: You want to make them throw it thirty five plus times. 501 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 3: If you do that, you got a chance of getting 502 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 3: the turnover, getting what you want to help your team 503 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: get the ball back to Josh Allen. 504 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: Now, I think this is a close game. I think 505 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: I probably still lean towards the Eagles, but I think 506 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: it's a very close game. I think it'll be intriguing 507 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: to see the start of this game, to see what 508 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: happens to get this game going.
