1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Please, you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. A greetings and

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: welcome in another beautiful Fox Football Sunday underway. Just a

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: few hours until kickoff of this glorious game. We get

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: it rolling. One game already in the books. We'll review

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: that one in short order. Welcome in on Mike Harmon

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: alongside me, my tag team partner, a legend in the

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: biz NFL films, you know from the NFL Matchup Show.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Pleased to have him a couple of hours every week.

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: We get to well pick each other's brains, me more

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: than him, but we have some fun and we hope

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: you do too. It's our guy, Greg Cosel. Greg, good morning,

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: Ready for another big week in the NFL.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: Mister Harmon, I'm always ready for another big week in

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: the NFL. Always ready to talk a little NFL.

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, get me this as we'll get through all the

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: new cast of characters, like a lot of the understudies

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: getting their turning lights. If you had a program and

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: you said I'm here for number nine, like not at all,

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: he's not here. He's not here. But we've got a

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: guy your re gonna like, just give this kid a

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: chance and we'll talk about Jake Browning and all of

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: the particulars as we get going the injury rates. As

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: we talk about the quarterback position, I think it was

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: fifty seven different starters last year. We'll keep track of

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: that as the year goes on. Through two weeks, we

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: have six teams with zero turnovers, eight one hundred yard

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: rushing games, nine three hundred yard passing games. That's nine

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, by the way, and then we had twenty

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: one total receivers with one hundred receiving yards. The only

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: guys to do a twice ceed Lamb and Jackson Smith

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: and Jigba thus far. So we got a lot of chaos,

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: a lot of creativity, and a lot of nuance rolling through.

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: And already the odds of how long Mike McDaniel's gonna

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: get to give us some gems in postgame press conferences, Greg,

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: those odds getting shorter by the minute.

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a shame. You know. I've been around Mike McDaniel.

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: In fact, I had a great conversation with him a

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: number of years ago. Actually it was about the run game.

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: He was with the Niners at the time, and he's

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: always been considered one of the best run game offensive

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: minds in the business. Again, we're not there. We don't

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: know what he's like as a head coach. Obviously people

43
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: watch the press conferences. He's certainly not charismatic in the

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: way we normally think of the word charismatic. But you know,

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: we're not there, so we don't know. But it is

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: a little strange when you do have a player's only

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: meeting after the first game of the season, so you

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: know something's not right. We don't know all the details,

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: but something's not right.

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know coming out of last season we had

51
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: the Tyreek Hill I'm out of here, and even as

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: we got into training camp into the first week of

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: the season, it's still seemed like there's some things that

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: needed mending. A couple of big plays between two and

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in that opening or in the opener for

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: Week three, and the one across the middle was one

57
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: of the I think best adjustments we've seen between the

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: two of them. Wasn't it just throw it up and

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: go get it kind of situation? Greg, But we talk

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: about Two a tongue of I looa oftentimes about his

61
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: accuracy efficiency and that you won't get the crushing turnover

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: well against the Bills with an opportunity to go get

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: that game. Twenty two to thirty four, one hundred and

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: forty six yards, a muted effort by Buffalo d but

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: the critical turnover trying to place the ball with a

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: lot of touch. I always want to see him drive it.

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: It's like we were talking a lot about Clayton Kershaw,

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, Jason Smith on our show, with the greatness

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: of his career, and how as a lefty sometimes you

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: don't have that big drive through kind of velocity like

71
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: you do with a Randy Johnson. And on that play, Tua,

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: with maybe a little more push on the ball get

73
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: to complete, but instead it's a turnover and Buffalo walks away.

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot to dissect, I think, certainly with

75
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: that play and with Tua as a whole. That play

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: was just a route they run all the time. Everybody

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: runs that route. It's essentially what we call a snag

78
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: flat kind scept some people called a spot route, where

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: one receiver just runs to a spot it's maybe six

80
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: seven yards from the ball. Another receiver runs into the

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: flat hence snag flat, and the third receiver just runs

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: a corner route behind it. It's pretty much a timing

83
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: rhythm throw. You're not really reading, you're reading one player,

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: you're reading the player underneath, and if he starts to

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: expand into the flat, you're throwing the spot or the

86
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: snag route. Now, I did read a comment by Bernard,

87
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: the linebacker for the Bills who made the interception, where

88
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: he basically said he read the route. And one thing

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: that the Bills did on that play was they changed

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: the picture pre snap to post snap. They showed a

91
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: too high look, and then they changed the picture to

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: cover three and Bernard that was his area in the coverage.

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: He was an underneath hook defender, that's the term we

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: use for where he was. So he read it and

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: he intercepted it. Now, I've seen so much as you have,

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure, by a lot of really smart people talking

97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: about the play. It's not really a read kind of play.

98
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: It's it's three step drop timing. Now, it's easy to

99
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: say he should have known he was there, but when

100
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: he started his delivery, Bernard was not that close. Bernard

101
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: just read the whole thing and made a great play.

102
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: But it's three step drop timing, so you're not looking

103
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: one way and coming back the other way. It was

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: just you know, it's a route that they run. Everybody runs,

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: and Bernard made a great play. You know. Unfortunately it's

106
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: you rip the quarterback for that, but it was just

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: really a good defensive play.

108
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: Yeah. And even in the post game, McDaniel had a

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a back and forth in terms of

110
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: trying to assess that play. And unfortunately, as as you

111
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: mentioned in his press conferences, sometimes he doesn't help himself.

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Now we have we have a quick little thing here

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: that that we've added, Greg to highlight the genius of

114
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: what you gave us with the snag clatt noo sells class.

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: There we go. We're we're teachable, so Bo, do you

116
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: like me to do? You gave us the lesson? Ok,

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: And we want to make sure we highlight that where

118
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: we get those teachable moments.

119
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: Here's here's the larger point though about Tua, and I've

120
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: said this even when I watched him come out from

121
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: from Alabama and a lot of people didn't see him

122
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: the way I did. And I think in this particular case,

123
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: my evaluation was correct. Too. Is a certain kind of player.

124
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: In order for him to be successful, he has to

125
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: be a pure timing and rhythm thrower. We've seen that

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: over the years. There are times when he looks really,

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: really good and the offense is clicking, he hits that

128
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: back foot, the ball comes out. He's a great between

129
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: the numbers windows thrower. But more and more teams now

130
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: know that that's what he is. He's not much more

131
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: than that, so you start taking away a lot of

132
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: those window throws. He didn't have one window throw against

133
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: the Bills. Now the Bills are in their division, so

134
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: they know how to play them, and obviously they've beaten

135
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: them numerous times as we know. But teams are really

136
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 2: doing a much better job of taking away those rhythm

137
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: window throws. And the question is is there more to

138
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: his game up to this point? There's not now. As

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: I said, when it works, he can be awesome and

140
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: it looks beautiful because he hits that back foot, the

141
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: ball comes out, The rhythm is there, the timing's there,

142
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: he's precisely accurate with his ball location. But if you

143
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: take those things away, as more teams are, I'm not

144
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: sure what the next move is for two in his game.

145
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: Greg Gosel, Mike CARVERA with you here, Fox Football Sunday,

146
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. All right, let's flip to the other

147
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: side of that game. James Cook looked like he was

148
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna run for four hundred yards in the first half. Greg,

149
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: But there's one play I want to highlight a little

150
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: bit of Josh Allen. And we've been talking a lot

151
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: about pre snap and changing your looks. What the Bills

152
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: did on the touchdown pass to Khalil Shakir in the

153
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: pre snap to get him moving with something special.

154
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the thing is the Bills now have become

155
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: a team that uses a ton of pre snap movement.

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: This is something they built up over time with Joe

157
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Brady Mike and they didn't do a lot of it

158
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: before Brady became the guy. And more and more teams

159
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: than the league are doing this, and pre snap movement

160
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: has sort of become foundational to really become a good

161
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: offense in the league with the nuances and subtleties that

162
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: the defenses now bring to the table. You know, the

163
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: fascinating thing about that game is Josh Allen played that

164
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: game because it was really a James Cook game. Josh

165
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: Allen played that game, and I wouldn't say conservatively, but

166
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: Josh has sort of settled into being a guy that

167
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: plays the game as it demands. He's not really a gunslinger.

168
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: That element of his game is not there unless the

169
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: game demands it, as of course it did week one.

170
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: But that's not the way he plays. I saw a

171
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: statistic that I thought was, I think, phenomenal. I'm trying

172
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: to remember it. I think he has thirty touchdowns and

173
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: one turnover in something like the last eighteen games. I mean,

174
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: he does not turn the ball over. So he really

175
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: plays within the context of the game. And if he

176
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: needs to be Josh Allen Superman, yes he can do that,

177
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: but he really doesn't go out to play that way.

178
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Well. The other curiosity, as we talk about the evolution

179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: of Greg for me, ten different targets, nine different receivers

180
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: in that game out against Miami, not trying to force

181
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: the ball. Take what they get, a couple of big

182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: plays to Dalton Kincaid, who's becoming that much more valuable.

183
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: He's the guy we thought he was from twenty twenty three.

184
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: But the efficiency of Shakir. You know, I do an

185
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: evening show with the Jets fans, so Elijah Moore showing

186
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: up for a big play well on air is not

187
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: exactly what he wants to see. But all of that

188
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: to say, the distribution of the football and being more

189
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: careful and judicious in the decision making that next evolution,

190
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: you know.

191
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: And the other thing too is they are a team

192
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 2: that has really kind of evolved into playing a lot

193
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: of big people. Last year they played with a sixth

194
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, far and away more than any team in

195
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: the league. This year, they drafted Jackson Hawes in the

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: first round from Georgia Tech, the best blocking tight end

197
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty five draft, and now he's playing

198
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: meaningful snaps. So they play more of what we call

199
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: thirteen personnel with one back and three tight ends, so

200
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: they they really play with a lot of big people.

201
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: They run the ball. Cook is a really good cutback runner.

202
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: He's almost a natural cutback runner, and I think they

203
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: take advantage of that in their blocking schemes. So they're

204
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: really a fascinating team because there was the sense, as

205
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: you know, Mike for a number of years that oh,

206
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: as Josh Allen goes, that's who they are. It's all

207
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: Josh Allen are nothing. We know he's capable of doing

208
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: anything at any given time, but they don't really play

209
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: that way. They don't put it on his plate just

210
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: to say, hey, if you unless you play great, we

211
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: can't win. That's not the way they play.

212
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that rolling the ball out four year, forty eight

213
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: million dollar extension for James Cook, showing that confidence in

214
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: what was the dead position before last year, Greg is

215
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: what I was told. The other for Hawes got to

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: point out he was actually improperly identified on a penalty.

217
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: So I think to make up for the shame, they

218
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: took care of him by getting a touchdown. Pass now

219
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: but becoming a bigger part, right, we will watch the

220
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: tight end position always a big thing, not even showing

221
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: up in this scorecard for this one Dawson Knox, who's

222
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: also a part of that offense. So just that curiosity.

223
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Now three to zero, no turnovers and just a little

224
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: bit of a different brand of football for them. Remember

225
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: they also played defensively without Ed Oliver.

226
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: Right and so they played the two rookies T J.

227
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: Sanders from South Carolina who was a second round pick

228
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: and Dion Walker from Kentucky who was a fourth round pick.

229
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: And you might recall, because I know you follow college

230
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: football very closely, that prior to his last year in college,

231
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people thought Dian Walker was a top

232
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: twenty pick in the draft and he just didn't have

233
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: that great final season. But you're talking about a huge

234
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: man who's naturally athletic and naturally powerful. And the main

235
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: thing with guys like that is the pad level is

236
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: if they stand straight up, then they're done. No matter

237
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: how big and strong they are. If they can stay

238
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: relatively low, they can move extremely well, and you see

239
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: their physical traits maximized. Walker the last couple of weeks

240
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: has really done a nice job getting more snaps with

241
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: Oliver being out of really staying low and using his

242
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: really great physical traits his advantage. He's become a force

243
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: for them a little bit.

244
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: To give a little bit of the extra Dion Walker

245
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: according to this dat six seven, three thirty one, I've

246
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: always talked about it, Greg. When I have a big

247
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: office that I've built my own little in house studio,

248
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to have my wall of mean because I

249
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: am built like a fire plug. I have always loved

250
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: the defensive tackles. He doesn't fit the mold of the

251
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: guys that I'm talking about, But going back to the

252
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Nadas and Will Forks and all those guys, those are

253
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: always my favorite guys disrupting the run game and swallowing plays.

254
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well those guys were built a little differently. Those

255
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: are the short guys, as you said, the kind of

256
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: the plug guys. You know, this guy's different. I mean

257
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: he's six seven. He just looks different.

258
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just crazy. And imagine if you're a shorter

259
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: quarterback just trying to stay in the in the pocket

260
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: and trying to look over if he gets a full extension,

261
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: good luck. A lot of batted down passes in the

262
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: huffing going forward, He's great. Co Sal had great. Go

263
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: Sal where you find him in the Twitter verse, NFL matchup,

264
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920

00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: go watch some chaos, and then you try to do

316
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: it on a basketball court and eventually someone would basically

317
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: just take the ball from you. All right, stop spinning it.

318
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: You got to play some basketball here, you know, that's

319
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: why football is better. Just put the ball in my

320
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: hand and I can run, and you got to try

321
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: to disengage it from me more physically and violently.

322
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: Greg, Well, you know, I played basketball for a lot

323
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: of years, but you know I'm a football guy now

324
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: in my advancing years. Been a long time I've been

325
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: doing this now, Mike, you know, well.

326
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of years, a couple of spins

327
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: for you, a couple of few for me. This is

328
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: your twenty in this Sunday morning world. For me here

329
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: in the beautiful confines at Fox Sports Radio, so blessed

330
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: to do it every Sunday morning. Nothing better than that.

331
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: What is it? The Robert Duvall was, smells like victory

332
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams. They're wishing and wanting and

333
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: hoping that that's what today's smells like. We got one

334
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: matchup that's got a couple of new quarterbacks under center,

335
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: an old name. And I saw this as Adam Schefter,

336
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: I had put this out Carson Wentz today starting against

337
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals, the first quarterback to start for six different

338
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: teams in six different and six consecutive seasons. I mean,

339
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: that's just insane.

340
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's crazy. You know. Carthon Wentz was always

341
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 2: fascinating to me. I remember watching him coming out of

342
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: college and I really liked him. And you know, those

343
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: first couple of years with the Eagles, that second year

344
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: when he tore his ACL, I think it was Week

345
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: thirteen against the Rams, he was on his way to

346
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: being the league MVP. He looked like a big time quarterback.

347
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: He's big, he could throw it, he could move, and

348
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, it just mentally, it just

349
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: didn't seem to work the way it was supposed to work.

350
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: And obviously stated as the Eagle starter for a number

351
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: of years, he moved on to a couple of plays.

352
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: Actually had a good year in Indianapolis a couple of

353
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: years ago, but they lost that final game as you recalled,

354
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville, which it was winning. They're in the playoffs,

355
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: and they lost badly, and he did not have a

356
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: very good game, and it seemed as if they couldn't

357
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: get him out of the building fast enough. Again, we

358
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: don't know what the deal is, but that's what it

359
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: seemed like. And since then he's sort of been kind

360
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 2: of nomadic, and I guess we'll find out. He certainly

361
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: has a great head coach and a great offensive mine

362
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: in Kevin O'Connell, So we'll see what today brings. I'm

363
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: kind of fascinating to see that of the That's one

364
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: of the fun things about the league, the situations like this.

365
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just have no idea. The overall was sitting

366
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: at forty one, so they're not expecting huge fireworks and

367
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a defensive struggle here, but yeah,

368
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: that the year in Indianapolis was just fascinating. Right in

369
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: the post, Andrew luck Era, he was one of the

370
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: guys that got a spin. Completed a little over sixty

371
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: two percent of his passes thirty five hundred yards six

372
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: point nine and an average pertempt and you're looking at

373
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns and seven picks that normally buys you

374
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: a multi year contract. Yes, he was shown the door.

375
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: And from which again you know you'd have to be

376
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: there and know everything about it, but it seemed like

377
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: they couldn't get rid of him. Fast enough. Didn't it

378
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: seem that way?

379
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Yeah, it's like, all right, we've got a fall guy.

380
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, unfortunately for Indianapolis, I've raised my

381
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: hand more than a few times on the network, and

382
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: then appearances of trying to figure out direction and purpose

383
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: in some of the decisions making through the last eight years.

384
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: It's so funny. I mean, there's so many games we

385
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: could talk about today, and we'll get to a bunch obviously,

386
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: but just you know, talking and things pop into my head.

387
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: You know. With quarterbacks, you know, I think that there's

388
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 2: very few guys, and I'm not sure people really think

389
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: of it. There's very few guys that could probably play

390
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: in any system and be really effective players. So so

391
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: much depends on the system that they're asked to run,

392
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: how they're coached, what they're asked to do the rest

393
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: of the team. I mean, I remember years ago, you know,

394
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: one of the highlights, maybe the absolute highlight of my career,

395
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 2: was that I got to know Bill Walsh and I

396
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: remember Bill Watshs telling me he was either the quarterback

397
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: coach or the offensive coordinator in nineteen seventy six for

398
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: the San Diego Chargers and Dan Fouts was the quarterback,

399
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: and Fouts that always talked about how Wat's just really

400
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: sort of got his career on the right path. But

401
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: then everybody knows Bill watsh with Joe Montana. But I

402
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: remember Bill Walsh telling me that, hey, Dan Fouts had

403
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: a bigger arm than Joe, and there were some throws

404
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: that Dan could make that Joe couldn't make. So we

405
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 2: didn't ask Joe to make those throws. Now, when you

406
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: hear that, people think, oh, Joe Montana one of the first, second,

407
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: third best quarterback of all time. But you know, that's

408
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: what coaching is, understanding what your quarterback can and can do,

409
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: you know, understanding what he does well, what his limitations are,

410
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: and staying away from those, playing to his straints and

411
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: having your team play to his straints. Because there's very

412
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: few transcendent guys, very few.

413
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: That's it. We use the term generational on awful.

414
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, business great, and we should never use that term.

415
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's like a four letter word. Here. I

416
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: feel like I put need to go into a swear

417
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: jar here in the sports radio studios for that one

418
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: at Greg Gozzo where you find him in the Joiner verse,

419
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: find me over at Swollen Dome. All right, let's go

420
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: to the other side of the equation and hear a

421
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: throw from their opponent today. Harris snaps it back to

422
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: Browning on the pocket. He flings it deep down the sideline,

423
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: says to the catchick still on his feet, Nacon Higgins,

424
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: he'll walk into the end zone for up Bengals touchdown.

425
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Bengals Radio on the call. Jake Browning, that guy, we

426
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: had him twenty twenty three, seventy percent completion rate, twelve touchdowns,

427
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: seven picks. Here he is with the surgery finally done

428
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow and his timetable three months or whatever

429
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, nebulous term you put on it. We have

430
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: no idea how that toe is gonna respond post surgery.

431
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: It sounds like a bogus injury. But everybody I've talked

432
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: to you that's ever experienced turf toe will tell you

433
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: how miserable an experience it is. Greg. So, now you've

434
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: got Jake Browning and he becomes the guy, and it

435
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: makes life a little bit easier when you've got Higgins

436
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: and Chase to get things started. But a guy who

437
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: proved himself very valuable to them back in twenty.

438
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: Twenty three and obviously knowes the offense. He's been there.

439
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: He's an interesting guy because he's not a big armed kid,

440
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: but he's an aggressive mindset thrower, and so once in

441
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: a while that gets him into trouble and he'll throw

442
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: some picks. But the thing is, when you have Chase,

443
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: you have Higgins, he will push the ball down the field,

444
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: and clearly their offense is built that way. I mean,

445
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: one of the things Joe Burrow did just as a

446
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: matter of course, and was maybe as good as anybody

447
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: in the league doing it, is when he saw one

448
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: on one on the outside with either Chase or Higgins,

449
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: he was throwing to them. And I've had coaches say, hey,

450
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: if it's one on one on the outside, that's what

451
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: you have to do. And Browning will do that. Now

452
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: he's not as good a thrower as Burrow, but he

453
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: is an aggressive thrower, and I think that's built into

454
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: how they want to play, because the bottom line is

455
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: those two receivers, Chase in particular, they're as good as

456
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: it gets in the league. So that's the way they

457
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: want to play. You know, you just hope that Browning

458
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: as he plays more because even though he played well

459
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. It's not as if he

460
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: has fifty NFL stars. So you just hope that he

461
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: understands game situations and knows when to turn it loose,

462
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: when to be aggressive, and when maybe not to be aggressive.

463
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: That that just comes from experience.

464
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: You hope Chase Brown out of the backfield as well.

465
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: You look at their schedule, I mean in rarefied position

466
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: for them in September here, Greg, normally we're like, all right,

467
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: they're down two in the standing. Now it's a matter

468
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: of chasing. You got Minnesota this week, and you got

469
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: a Bronco squad, Why don't we transition to them? Sure,

470
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: I had to figure out what they are right now defensively,

471
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: not the unit you were anticipating. They're on the road

472
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: for the first home game for the Los Angeles Chargers.

473
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: Also rising up to the top of the standings without

474
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack though after that gruesome elbow injury. But looking

475
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: at this, the Chargers completing that run of three division

476
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: games to start the season. But what have you seen

477
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: from bow Knicks and Sean Payton in your two.

478
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Knicks has played quite as well

479
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: as he did toward the end of last season up

480
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: to this point, and given the fact that their defense

481
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: has not played as well as as you said your

482
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: points one hundred percent correct, their defense hasn't played as well.

483
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: This gets into the whole team concept. You know, Bo Nicks.

484
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: I really liked bon Nicks coming out. I had an

485
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: opportunity to shat with him before the draft the year

486
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: he came out. Really impressive kids, super intelligent, you know,

487
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: good player, good good marriage with what he does. And

488
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: Sean Payton. But again, it's a team thing. And for instance,

489
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: last week against the Colts, their defense was not very good.

490
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: They gave up four hundred and seventy three yards of

491
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: total offense and then that's too many obviously, And what

492
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: Vance Joseph did it was fascinating. It was really kind

493
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: of an aberration. They blitzed on almost seventy percent of

494
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones's dropbacks. Think about that number, seventy percent and

495
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones ate them up. And they blitzed and played

496
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 2: man coverage. And how many times over the last number

497
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: of years have we been able to say the words

498
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones ate them up.

499
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: I've been a Daniel Jones truther. To a point here. Yeah,

500
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: back when we talked about it a little bit last

501
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: week before that game went off, Greg was, you know,

502
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: the last time he was truly healthy with balance there

503
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: with the Giants high completion rate, Look, he wasn't gonna

504
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: light up the scoreboard. And certainly through two weeks, I

505
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: think we're all scratching our had a little bit off

506
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: of how efficient everything's been. But I mean, he was

507
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: a three touchdown per interception guy, took care of the ball,

508
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: made plays with his legs. Yeah, the fact that he's

509
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: doing this behind a pretty good offense not completely a shock,

510
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: but with the expectations of what that Denver defense was

511
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be, the fact that he was able to

512
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: pull the strings last week was a little bit eye opening.

513
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you know, one of the things I think

514
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: Shane Steichen's doing really, really well. And again this gets

515
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: back to the quarterback discussion. Everybody always wants to talk quarterbacks.

516
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: Sure is that they've done a great job throwing the

517
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 2: ball on first down through two games, and that is

518
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: truly the best down to throw because what you get

519
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL normally nothing's one hundred percent. The NFL

520
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 2: is about probability, and tendency more than anything else. But

521
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: what you tend to get from defenses on first down

522
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: are there more predictable fronts, They are more predictable coverages.

523
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: You have a better feel for what you're going on

524
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: up against. It's a normal down and distance situation. And

525
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: Jones through two games has been phenomenal on first down.

526
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: He's eighteen for twenty five for three hundred and three

527
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: yards on first down, so you know, think about that too.

528
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: That's twenty five pass attempts on first down and he

529
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: has the most passing yards on first down through two games.

530
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: So you know, whether this continues, all we have You know,

531
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: I always tell people because they think they hear me

532
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: talk and they think, oh, you think Daniel Jones is great? No,

533
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 2: you know what we have. We have Daniel Jones through

534
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: two games on tape. That's what we have right now.

535
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 2: So that's all you can comment on. I can't tell

536
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: you what's going to happen today or what's going to

537
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: happen in six weeks, but this is what we have

538
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: through two games.

539
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: Curious matchup later on today, divisional foe, the Tennessee Titans.

540
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: What we do know is that they need five guys

541
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: that can dance together to try to protect their young quarterback.

542
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you know, they thought they really upgraded

543
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: their line. I think it will happen over time. Lath them.

544
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: The right tackle, second year player from Alabama who's a

545
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: good player, missed last week. He's going to miss this

546
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 2: week as well. The left tackle who they paid a

547
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: lot of money for, Dan Moore, has not played particularly

548
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 2: well through two games. I actually think cam Ward played

549
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: really well in his second game. I think he's a

550
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 2: very comfortable player. I think he has a sense of timing.

551
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 2: I think he knows where to go with the football.

552
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 2: We know he can make better He can make special plays,

553
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: as we like to say those you know that touchdown

554
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: he threw. Not a lot of guys are going to

555
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: even attempt that throw. But you know, they've got some

556
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: concerns on both sides of the ball. But they've been

557
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: really you know, the thing that's been lost because they

558
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: have to win games because I think Brian Callahan I

559
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: think is three and sixteen and nineteen games, so they

560
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: have to win games.

561
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: They're battling, right.

562
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: But Yeah, I was just going to say they've been

563
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: really competitive against two really good teams winning in the

564
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: second half and the scores don't reflect they played and

565
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: how competitive they've been. So in many ways, today's a

566
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: huge game for them because they're at home, and even

567
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: though Indies two and zero and playing well, it's a

568
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: game they really have to win, just you know, for

569
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: the head coach, curse you and know how that goes.

570
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: I mean, at some point you got to win games.

571
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: Decent returns out of the backfield from Tony Pollard to

572
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: your point. Right, the final score thirty three to nineteen

573
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: against the Rams, they battled them. I had that as

574
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: my ISO games, Like, all right, they're one play away

575
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: perhaps from flipping this thing, and instead we get to

576
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: see a little more of the Stafford Adams connection. We'll

577
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: get hit on that a little more. Next your hour.

578
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,040

Speaker 1: podcasts of course our world here at Fox Sports Radio,

589
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm partial to going to sleep to the Broadway Channel.

590
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hugh Jackman singing Jean Valjean lines just

591
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: really does it for me, I guess. But as we continue,

592
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: so give that to your friends and family, evangelize for

593
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: us as we continue our path the global domination. Let

594
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: me circle back real quick to the chargers of what

595
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: they've been able to share offensively thus far. Greg Jim

596
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: Harbaugh kept telling us he's going to make Justin Herbert

597
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: on an MVP or die Trying. I may be adding

598
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: the or die trying part because it adds some gravitas

599
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: to it. But a lot of billboards here in between

600
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: the lawyers and ambulance chasers here in southern California. People

601
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: starting to believe the hype. But for Justin Herbert, he'd

602
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: been able to pull the strings right now with multiple

603
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Kind of fun to watch them get back

604
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: to slinging it.

605
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you wonder if Jim Harboy's decided to

606
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: take a little more interest in the offense as it were,

607
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: because you know, the Greg Roman run game was certainly

608
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: not the defining feature a week ago. And you know,

609
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: Herbert is a big time talent. I think most people

610
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: just from a talent perspective, you know, see him as

611
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: in that top five group in the league. And he's

612
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: such an easy thrower. He can get the ball down

613
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: the field, as we saw in the Johnston sixty yard

614
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: touchdown last week. We'll see if they stay this way, Mike.

615
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: In other words, you know, they've been a little more

616
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: aggressive with the pass game. They still play that Scott Mattlocke,

617
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: who was a defensive tackle in college. They still play

618
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: him at the full back position. He still gets meaningful snaps,

619
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: but they throw out of that now that personnel package

620
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: a little more than they did a year ago. So

621
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: we'll see. Because Najie Harris and the rookie Omari and Hampton,

622
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: they've not really carried the ball very much through two games.

623
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: So we'll see if this is a true change in

624
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: how they want to play or if this is just

625
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: the way the first two games have played out.

626
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: Big test today at home, we'll see what Denver brings

627
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: to bear, whether they can tighten up some things on

628
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: defense and how vance Joseph and company attack. As you said,

629
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: the seventy seventy one percent blitz rate an attack rate

630
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: a week ago.

631
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: That was crazy crazy watching that. I mean it seemed

632
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: like they were blitzing on every play. You rarely see

633
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: that in the NFL.

634
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: And think about it, you do that against this offense.

635
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Keenan Allen back and while he's not the

636
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: same guy, he and Herbert it's riding a bike, right.

637
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: They got right back into it. Trey Harris, they'll work

638
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: him in more of the rookie that they brought in.

639
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: But Johnston seems like just a much different kid than

640
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: he was going back to that rookie year. Whatever they've

641
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: instilled in him and the confidence that's come back has

642
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: just been phenomenal to watch. And mconkey is just a

643
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: pros pro.

644
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: He's a pros pro. He's just one of those guys.

645
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny when I did him coming out

646
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: of college, I didn't really have a weakness in his

647
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: game for what he is, and people started saying, oh,

648
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: you're crazy. You know, you don't know what you're talking about.

649
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: Because you have to think about how he'll be deployed

650
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: in the league. No one's going to put him at

651
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: what we call boundary X, the single receiver, you know,

652
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: to the short side of the field, and have him

653
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: just win one on one against big time corners. That's

654
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: not who he is. So to say he probably can't

655
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: do that is to me meaningless statement because no one

656
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: would even think to ask him to do that. But

657
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: for what he is, he really does not have a

658
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: weakness as a receiver.

659
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: Lad mcconkee becoming one of those stars. And he stands

660
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: a scant six foot with a maybe a little hair

661
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: towards six one. So yeah, not your prototypical go up

662
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: and get it receiver. No, throw him into a pattern

663
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: and let him go make a play.

664
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly who he is. He's really good at

665
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: great feel for route run, and great understanding versus man

666
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: i've had to attack leverage, great feel for finding saft

667
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: spots and zones. But Herbert is just, you know, he's

668
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: he's one of those quarterbacks for me, you know, I

669
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: love watching quarterbacks. Who's just fun to watch. He's such

670
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: an easy thrower.

671
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: Of the football and eventually it looks like he's actually

672
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: starting to embrace the fact of his star power, like

673
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: he's he's been a reticence star in Los Agles.

674
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well that's a personality thing. And again we

675
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: don't know how he is in the locker room, but

676
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, uh, you know the way he presents

677
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: himself publicly, very reserved. But in this past game I

678
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: thought he processed really well. He does. He hasn't been

679
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: forcing balls, although when it's called and there's there's an

680
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: intermedia to deeper shot available, he'll take it. The crazy

681
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: thing was in the last game they did all their

682
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 2: damage on second down, and we never think of second

683
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 2: down as a down. You think of, hey, first down

684
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: and third down the money down, but you never think

685
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: of second down as like, you know, a down, you know,

686
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: but that's been their most productive passing down through two games.

687
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, being able to pull the strings that positive yardage,

688
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: getting ahead of the sticks on first down and really

689
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: open it up that playbook. He's great co Cell, had

690
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: great co cell. Where you find him, check everything he's

691
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: got going on the NFL Matchup Show, his appearances, awesome

703
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: teams that maybe someone will make a defensive play. I'm

704
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: not so sure, the Bears and the Cowboys. Greg co

705
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: Sell and I chop that up next here on Fox.

706

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio. It's Fox Football Sunday.

707
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, being part of our extended family.

708
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: Mike Carbon alongside Greg Cosel forty six years NFL films

709
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: the NFL Matchup Show, making us all take a different

710
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: lens into our football watching world and we go to

711
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: our televisions and giant grids really looking and being a

712
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: bit and using some of this terminology. Right, you got

713
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: your boundary acts, you got your what was it the

714
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: flat earlier. So I mean, we've got all sorts of

715
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: stuff that we're evangelizing here, Greg, as we get going

716
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: on a week three Sunday.

717
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 2: Absolutely, well, hopefully I'm explaining it because I mean, this

718
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: is you know, it's funny. I sit here in my

719
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 2: office and watch tape. You know. I actually came in

720
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: real early this morning so I could watch the Dolphins

721
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 2: offense versus the Bills defense, so I could get ahead

722
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 2: of get ahead of the week for myself. But yeah,

723
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: you know, so I just see the game, you know,

724
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: So I always try to think, Okay, got to explain

725
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: it so that the people who don't live in this world,

726
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: you know, know exactly what I'm talking about.

727
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: That's it. You're painting a beautiful picture. Again for those

728
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: keeping track at home, it's the snag flatten the boundary X.

729
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: Get our book of terminology together here, Greg. All right,

730
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams through two games, I thought he looked better

731
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: against the Lions, and then once that thing happened at

732
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: the end of the first half that put the Lions

733
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: back on the field where they eventually scored the touchdown.

734
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: Like that took any life the Bears had in them. Yeah,

735
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: out and they expired thereafter, Sir Jared Goff and the

736
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: offense went rolling, but completion percentages up a little bit,

737
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: hit romandonsay with a couple of big shots. It's a

738
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: growing process and unfortunately, you know, people don't like that

739
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: it bleeds along the way.

740
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: I know that's a great point. I mean, you know

741
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: how that goes. And they've been starved in Chicago for

742
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: a great quarterback for a long time, so as you

743
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: probably know, being from there, I would say that he Yeah,

744
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: I would say it was better early on in terms

745
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: of being decisive. I mean that's one of the things

746
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: that coaches look for, you know, when they call a

747
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 2: play and not always is the primary receiver open, that

748
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: they call it with the hope that that's what happens.

749
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: But you want to see your quarterback be decisive. You

750
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: want to see him hit that back foot deliver the football,

751
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: whether it's to the primary or the secondary. You want

752
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: to see the ball come out. And I thought he

753
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: was better early on on as the game progressed. And

754
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 2: of course, you don't want to be in a situation

755
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: where you're young quarterback who's essentially a rookie all over

756
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: again with Ben Johnson where he has to drop back

757
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: and throw on every snap, because that's where I think

758
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: the issues start. That's where I think his natural way

759
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: of playing the position, which is to be a little

760
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: Frenetic's not the right word, but you know, he doesn't

761
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 2: have a feel at this point for what is and

762
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 2: isn't pressure by NFL standards. You know, he still shows

763
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: a tendency to break down in the pocket prematurely and unnecessarily,

764
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 2: and that's something that you can only learn with experience

765
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: because in college you don't see that very often.

766
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then once you're chasing those balance out the window.

767
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: Not that they did anything really to address the running

768
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: back position. DeAndre Swift should be available later on today

769
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: as they played the Cowboys, but can make some hay

770
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: in theory. You got Bland already out. Trevonto Dieggs with

771
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: the knee injury, will be limited. Meanwhile, Dallas shot and

772
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: Iber gets his first w as they got one of

773
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: the most wildly entertaining games that we might see all

774
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: season against the Giants. But for Dak Prescott getting a

775
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: lot more help from Javonte Williams to give them some

776
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: balance in the offense than I expected.

777
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: Greg yeah, and I would think they'd like to continue that.

778
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean, look the game played out last week where

779
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: Dak had to drop back more than I would think

780
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: that that shot he would like him to do. But

781
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: I thought, I think through two games, Prescott's played well.

782
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: And it's funny. I really did a deep dive into

783
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: Prescott this summer from last year and I thought there

784
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 2: were some issues in his game, and they're not really

785
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: showing up. Through the first two games, He's been very impressive.

786
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: I think one thing that they need to figure out

787
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 2: in my view. Anyway, they may not see it as

788
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: an issue. I think they've got to get George Pickens

789
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: involved more. I mean, you're dealing with a guy and

790
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 2: this look, I don't know George Pickens, So what I'm

791
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: about to say has nothing to do with what kind

792
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: of person he is or his character. I wouldn't know

793
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: that at all. But he is super gifted and getting

794
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: back to your point about the boundary, the single receiver

795
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: to the short side of the field, that's exactly what

796
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 2: he is and he gets a lot of single coverage

797
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 2: and to me, just because he's so gifted, and maybe

798
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna take time just for Dak to feel comfortable

799
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 2: with him, But I think he needs more targets than

800
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: he's gotten through two weeks.

801
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: Get the ball up and let the guy go make

802
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: some plays. You got CD, that's gonna always get that

803
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: shade of the safety. Greg seems like he got some

804
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: potential one on one opportunities to be had. All right,

805
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: our one in the books. Coming up next, we continue

806
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: with one of the enigmas in the National Football League.

807
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Ah, Yes, Greening's

808
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: welcome in hour two of the program, A beautiful Fox

809
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: Football Sunday, Week three of your National Football League season. Yes,

810
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: we already have thirty three games in the books. I

811
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: have my countdown. I celebrate all two hundred and seventy

812
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: two of them. Even if you guys don't eat, if

813
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: you don't love some of the teams, you don't like

814
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: the logo on the side, they don't help your fantasy squad, No, no, no,

815
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: we celebrate them all. Here Mike Carbon alongside Greg cosel

816
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: NFL films. He's diving in deep each and every week.

817
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: I already just did his review of the Thursday game,

818
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: So look for the analysis. We've already talked about it

819
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: here on the show. The podcast will go up when

820
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: we're done. Greg some interesting matchups later on today and

821
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: some new participants to it all as well in that

822
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: Monday Night affair. We'll get to it later on in

823
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: the hour. It might be one of the most fascinating

824
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: for me, but a game that stands out AFC South

825
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: will celebrate it because others won't. You're Houston Texans against

826
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jags a narrow home favorite about forty five.

827
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: They're getting some good play out of ETN out of

828
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: the backfield, given Trevor Lawrence some balance. So let's go

829
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 1: to the positive side in terms of what that offense

830
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: has cooking right now.

831
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're still working through you know, Liam Cohen

832
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: being there as a new coach, putting in base a

833
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: brand new system, and I think that you know, and

834
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, you know, it's funny. We were laughing earlier

835
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 2: about you know, I was saying that quarterbacks are very

836
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 2: fewer transcendent and certainly Lawrence got nailed with that Moniker

837
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: coming out of college generational, which of course is ridiculous,

838
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: but you know, he's turned out in the NFL to

839
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: be a guy that if you have a run game,

840
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: if you have a quality team, he can function effectively

841
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: and he can make throws. And I think they're working

842
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: toward that, but they do need the run game to

843
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 2: be effective. And this offense is different. There's more motion,

844
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: that's what Liam Cohen wants. There's more motion. There's different

845
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: kinds of splits than Trevor Lawrence is used to. All

846
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: this takes time. It becomes a work in progress. So

847
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 2: there's good plays and there's not so good plays, and

848
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: that's what happens, and coaches keep working through that. I think,

849
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 2: to me, the story in this game, though, more is

850
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: what's going on with the Texans offense. That's been a

851
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 2: little bit of a problem through two games. And you know,

852
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: the kinds of things that stand out to me are

853
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: they haven't been able to run the ball at all,

854
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: and their old line has still not quite become what

855
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 2: they hoped. It's kind of totally revamped right now. And Stroud,

856
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: you know, it's funny. Stroud is a very good throw

857
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: over the football, but he's at his core a pocket quarterback.

858
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: He's not a statue, but he's a pocket quarterback. So

859
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: when you're a pocket quarterback. Two things have to happen

860
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: for you to be consistent. You have to be sharp

861
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: mentally with your reads and you have to be sharp

862
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: physically with your precise ball location, which his rookie season

863
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 2: it looked like, Wow, this guy can be like that.

864
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 2: He hasn't been quite the same the last two years.

865
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: Some of it's a function of the old line play

866
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 2: where he's got to get used to the fact that

867
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 2: everything's not going to be a clean pocket. But it's

868
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: not all his fault. Clearly the old line has not

869
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 2: been at its best. But he's going to have to

870
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: figure that out because you know what, sometimes in the

871
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: NFL you don't have a clean pocket. It's just the

872
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: way the league is. But they're going to have to

873
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: find a way to have a run game because pocket

874
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 2: quarterbacks tend to need run games.

875
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we look at last week. I mean, they had

876
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: the big run from Chubb that I guess we debate

877
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: whether they allowed him to score or not because right

878
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: he was bottled up and then Tampa gets the ball

879
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: back and then makes their big push and that celebration

880
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield that we did all week really went

881
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: to that next level. But we'll stay with Houston for

882
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: a second. Right, we talked about the five guys up front.

883
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: Tunsel goes to the commanders and you change it. That's

884
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: never gonna be the same. I mean, how many teams

885
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: survive weeks one through three with the same starting five,

886
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: let alone getting through a complete season and in his

887
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: receiving core at least to this point, Greg, it looks

888
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: like he's got Nico Collins and not a whole lot

889
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: of support.

890
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 2: Well, it's got some young guys. I really like Jayden

891
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: Higgins coming out of Iowa State, and we'll see how

892
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 2: he develops. They've got the other Iowa State kid two

893
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 2: Jal and No, so we'll see again the development there.

894
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 2: You know, Hutchinson is a kid that came out of college.

895
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 2: Think he's Iowa State as well, and he came in

896
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: a few years ago. Yeah, there you go.

897
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: And Pipeline Texas.

898
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 2: That's right. They probably have a scout that just you

899
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: know sits at Iowa State has an office there.

900
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: Maybe three guys, that's right, that's right.

901
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 2: And he's you know, he's a possession type guy. Not

902
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: a lot of juice to him, but he can catch

903
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: the ball and work underneath. So I think they're trying

904
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: to figure that out as well, with new receivers and

905
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: an old line that's been you know, to be kind

906
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 2: very up and down. So it's just hard when you

907
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: cannot run the ball. It's just it makes offense difficult

908
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: to play, particularly for quarterbacks like Stroud, who don't give

909
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 2: you that extra playmaking dimension because like I said, well

910
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: he's not a statue, he's not a playmaker. He's not

911
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 2: that kind of guy. So you know, he needs to

912
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: feel comfortable in the pocket. He needs to develop that

913
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: sense of Okay, I do have to deal with pressure,

914
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: but I've still got to make throws. So that'll be

915
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of a work in progress.

916
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,920

922
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: But he's got good old Alabama Mac on the other side.

923
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: Pierceol born in tongue is right.

924
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: Jennings left my carefit to elect of Jones.

925
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: Quicks now from the gun for sure coming bro whine,

926

00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers. I'm gonna guess that's forty nine ers

929
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: radio No, no.

930
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: Well, fuck gave you the clue. Don't you love these

931
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 2: these radio guys. I've gotten to know some of these

932
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: guys over the years. They are the absolute best. You

933
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: gotta love these guys.

934
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for that big moment, right yeah, punge, CounterPunch,

935
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: a little jab and then oh we got this big

936
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: explosive play for Mac Jones, a guy that, let's call

937
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: it what it is, was never done a whole lot

938
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: of favors during his tenure in New England in those

939
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: final years, finds himself in San Francisco, Big spot there

940
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: to Jennings for the big pop Greg. One of the

941
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: plays from week two that ye stood out to me.

942
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: And you know what, it was a great play and

943
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 2: I'm going to just walk through a little of it

944
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: really hopefully I can visualize it for people. The Saints

945
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: showed man coverage to start that play. They ended up

946
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 2: playing Cover two, but they showed man coverage, and I

947
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: personally believe I don't know this for a fact, but

948
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: I personally believe that if they stayed with man coverage,

949
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 2: the throw would have been to McCaffrey, who was offset

950
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: to the short side of the field and he was

951
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: running a wheel route, and they would have had McCaffrey

952
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: on the linebacker Pete Werner, and I believe that if

953
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: they stayed in man, that's where mac Jones would have looked.

954
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: But because they switched at the snap, they changed the picture,

955
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 2: which more and more teams are doing. They went to

956
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: cover two, so the wheel route to McCaffrey was no

957
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 2: longer a viable option. And then mac Jones did a

958
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: phenomenal job of recognizing the change in coverage and he

959
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 2: hit Jennings on the inbreaker to the same side, actually

960
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: in breaker to the same side and the void in

961
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: the cover two. I thought that was really outstanding quarterbacking

962
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 2: by mac Jones.

963
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the eyes take you with McCaffrey's something you

964
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: and I have talked about a bit, and the expectation

965
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: that his reps as a receiver would go up, and

966
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: he goes to that left core, left sideline and just

967
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: starts to curl up, and as he looks back, the

968
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: ball's already gone right and you catch Jennings in stride.

969
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: And McCaffrey knew that the wheel route that was not

970
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 2: going to happen based on the coverage change. But you know,

971
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 2: Jones was really good on third down in that game.

972
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 2: He was seven for twelve for one twenty one. And

973
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: the important point is six of the seven completions resulted

974
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 2: in first downs, and the Niners overall were very good

975
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 2: on third down. Jones is similar stylistically to Brock Purty

976
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 2: in how you run your eyes. So in other words,

977
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan doesn't have to make major changes in his approach.

978
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: The bigger issue I think might be, you know, I

979
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 2: guess used check. I don't know if he's probably out

980
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: this week.

981
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: I would I think he is out let me. Yeah,

982
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: we'll get get a confirmation of that.

983
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Hodell ended up playing more with two tight

984
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 2: ends as opposed to two backs, which of course they're

985
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: foundationally a two back offense. But we'll see. I mean,

986
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: those are you know, these are changes that you have

987
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: to make throughout the course of a season. But the

988
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 2: quarterback situation is such that they're they're similar stylistically in

989
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: how you can structure your pass game.

990
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: Now they're saying he was going to clear concussion protocol,

991
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: so game time decision, but potentially back in the mix

992
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: for them today at least to some degree. So we'll

993
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that as we go. The other

994
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: side of the coin, Arizona off to a two and

995
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: zero start. Kyler Murray. We've seen the turbo mode, yeah,

996
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: early returns in the past, a little different look to

997
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: this squad thus far, Greg getting a little more, Trey

998
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: Benson in with James Connor, yeah, and still waiting for

999
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison really to pop, but thus far they're getting

1000
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: it all around. Yeah, on both sides of the ball.

1001
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know what's going on with Marvin Harrison.

1002
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: That's tough to figure out. But they clearly through the

1003
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 2: draft and just through the fact that Jonathan Gannon is

1004
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: a defensive head coach and Nick rosis is the coordinator.

1005
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: You know, they're very good on defense there. They're probably

1006
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 2: better than people think. This is a big test for them.

1007
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 2: They do some really interesting things on the back end,

1008
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 2: probably a little too detailed to try to map out

1009
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: just talking about it. But they do some really good things,

1010
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: and you know, they're a different kind of defense to

1011
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 2: play against, and that always people don't think about this,

1012
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: but that's the a preparation issue for teams that have

1013
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 2: to play them, because not many teams do exactly what

1014
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 2: they do on the back end. And so now in

1015
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: that week of preparation, and it's not as if you

1016
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 2: have three weeks to prepare. You know, you have to

1017
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 2: prepare for some things that you don't normally see from

1018
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 2: other teams. So that just makes the preparation a little different.

1019
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 2: Now they're in the same division obviously as the Niners,

1020
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: so the Niners are aware of it, and they may

1021
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 2: have you know, prepared for it in the offseason as well,

1022
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 2: which I'm sure they did. But it's just different.

1023
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: As we look at Josh schwet Kalais Campbell, the ageless wonderful. Yeah,

1024
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: hey man, whenever these guys are a little longer in

1025
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: the tooth, I'm like, one more year, one more year.

1026
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: Like I'm not doing all the political thing where folks

1027
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: want their candidate in right. Players to keep going right,

1028
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: which is why I need Aaron Rodgers to keep playing well.

1029
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. I know he was all weepy at the

1030
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw thing Friday. They couldn't get him on the

1031
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: TV fast enough. It's like, I need him to keep

1032
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: playing because I don't feel so old.

1033
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 2: Then Greg, well maybe Aaron Rodgers will you'll reach the

1034
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: Georgia blanda stage. But remember George Bland I think, oh absolutely,

1035
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 2: I think he started a game. What when he was

1036
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 2: like forty eight years old. I can't remember exactly, but

1037
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 2: but he was old bye bye. I shouldn't say he

1038
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 2: was old by.

1039
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: Football football standards up one of my favorite.

1040
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,919
Speaker 2: Terms for me. He's a young he was a young man,

1041
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, but by football standards he was old.

1042
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: There you go, nineteen seventy five AFC Title Game, sixteen

1043
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: to ten, Raiders lost to the Steelers. He was forty eight.

1044
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Forty eight wow.

1045
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: Extra point and a forty one yard field goal in

1046
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: that game.

1047
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 2: That's crazy, forty eight years old playing quarterback. How nuts

1048
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 2: is that?

1049
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. Could Tom Brady come back out and

1050
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: quarterback for a couple of teams now because he's.

1051
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: Close but well we'll see you know who knows. Maybe

1052
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers will want.

1053
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: To do that and just keep bouncing around and see

1054
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: how long he can play out the string. I'm all

1055
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: for it, all right, we'll continue. We've got more NFL

Speaker 1: off the sound where we're playing on the air. And

1082
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 1: of course my guy Greg Cosal at Greg Cosal on

1083
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: Twitter where you find him. He does the NFL Matchup

1084
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: Show weekly, his appearance on Thursday with Colin must view TV.

1085
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: There to get yourself really immersed in the picture within

1086
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: the picture, is that the way to describe it. I

1087
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: think that's probably the way to do it.

1088
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 2: Remember when that was like the coolest thing with television's picture.

1089
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: With picture in picture. Yeah, that was.

1090
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 2: Like going back years. That was like the coolest thing

1091
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 2: when it came out that you could do picture within picture.

1092
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: And invariably someone would press the wrong button and what happened.

1093
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, what's upon a time? And now we just

1094
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: use chords and we run like nineteen TVs and monitors

1095
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: together so we can get everything we want.

1096
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 2: I remember when the Mike when the VCR came out.

1097
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I wish I still had some

1098
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: of the old video.

1099
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: Sets, yeah, or eighty I think in that range, or

1100
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 2: maybe in the early eighties when and I remember going

1101
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: to a video store to get, you know, a video,

1102
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: you know, the first one, you know, it was the

1103
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 2: first I remember the first video I ever got. Really

1104
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 2: what was Easy Rider?

1105
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: No kidding? We're going full on Fonda and Hopper?

1106
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and Jack Jack was.

1107
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: Jack sure Jack young Jack? Wow yeah Dan j Now

1108
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: we're going way back. See now, I'm gonna add that

1109
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: to my list to.

1110
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 2: I believe Karen Black was in that as well.

1111
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: But see digging a little deeper.

1112
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 2: But if you remember her, I remember Karen Black.

1113
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: But I mean Greg, think think of all of those

1114
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 1: like it used to be for us one of the things.

1115
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: And we're nerds. We loved our professional wrestling. It was

1116
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: what new tape did we get right? It was you know,

1117
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: Rowdy Roddy Piper's greatest hits, like volume forty seven. It's like,

1118
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: all right, so a lot of it was cold from

1119
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: the first forty six, but damn it, we were. They

1120
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: were getting our rental money on that Friday Night.

1121
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 2: Now do you do you remember Bruno Sam Martino.

1122
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: Now, now we're going back to the generals of the

1123
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, as like him and

1124
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: the Crusher and the Bruiser and Baron von Rashky.

1125
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, and that's going back a few years.

1126
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've got a few miles on me, Greg. Yeah,

1127
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: we grew up watching that World Class Championship wrestling out

1128
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: of Dallas with the von Erics, the old man Fritz

1129
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: van Eric. I mean it all plays together, yeah, Sam

1130
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: Martino and Ernie Ladd, the.

1131
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 2: Big Ladd who played for the Chargers.

1132
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: See it all comes together.

1133
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1134
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's our little little hook. We'll go through all.

1135
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: We'll go through the rest of the football players turned wrestlers,

1136
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns, Georgia Tech, the Rock over at the U.

1137
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we could do this all day long. Maybe

1138
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: that'll be a very special episode of all the the

1139
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: x NFL players that became grapplers.

1140
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: Or maybe not.

1141
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: No, no, I mean, well, the transition to that being

1142
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: you know what, Jalen hurts, I'm told squats more than

1143
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: six hundred pounds.

1144
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 2: And there you go. So there you go.

1145
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: Philly hosting the Rams later on today one of the

1146
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: heavyweight battles. See not my first radio that we've got here.

1147
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford in company. They've integrated DeVante Adams into the

1148
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: offense brilliantly on you look at he and pukin Nakua

1149
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's where they can make some hay today.

1150
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: The second cornerback position for Philly has been an issue

1151
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: thus far.

1152
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 2: Opposite Mitchell, yeah, that's true, and it'll be very interesting

1153
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 2: to see how Philly chooses to play. You know, the

1154
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 2: thing is everybody thinks about Vic Fangio as he plays zone.

1155
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: He plays that quarters, that four across on the back end,

1156
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: that everything starts there, which is probably foundationally what he does.

1157
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 2: But he doesn't always do that. So it'll be interesting

1158
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: because when they played in the playoffs last year, Vic

1159
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 2: played a ton of man coverage and he blitzed a

1160
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 2: good amount, particularly in the second half. Because the one

1161
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 2: thing you cannot let Matthew Stafford be comfortable. You know,

1162
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: you can say that about any quarterback, but Matthew Stafford

1163
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: is still one of the best pure throwers in the league,

1164
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: always has been, still is, and you know, when you

1165
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: talk to coaches in this league. The respect that they

1166
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 2: have for Matthew Stafford is off the charts.

1167
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny. It goes back even I remember during

1168
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: his time in Detroit when he was pretty categorically dismissed

1169
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: by a lot of national media. Yes, I couldn't win

1170
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: the big, big game, et cetera. He was always your

1171
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: favorite quarterback's favorite quarterback, correct, right, right, Aaron Rodgers didn't

1172
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: say a lot of nice things about a lot of guys.

1173
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: He couldn't stop talking about how much he loved standing

1174
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: and watching Matthew Stafford throw the ball.

1175
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny because you know, everybody talked about Mahomes

1176
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 2: when he came in the league, and deservedly so. He

1177
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: was great right from the start with all those off

1178
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 2: platform throws. Stafford was doing that before Mahomes. The problem was,

1179
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 2: as you said, as he played in Detroit, so nobody

1180
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: noticed it, you know, or nobody seemed to care. But

1181
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: he has always been a great throw over the football.

1182
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 2: He's an incredibly intelligent quarterback. He's tough as as you

1183
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: can be. And we remember his first two years he

1184
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: got hurt and people thought he was fragile, and then

1185
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 2: he never missed a game. I guess he had that

1186
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: one year where he did get hurt, but other than that,

1187
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 2: he just doesn't miss games.

1188
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of reports and certainly the red injury

1189
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: designation has been tagged on a lot of Sundays. But

1190
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: we talk about a gamer and a guy that keeps

1191
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,919
Speaker 1: getting back up and refusing to to stop. And nowI

1192
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: they're one of the favorites along with these Eagles in

1193
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship odds. If you look at the betting

1194
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: odds to things Greg Philadelphia two and zero. All the

1195
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: talk on the touch push will push it aside, no

1196
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: pun intended for a second. The passing game is the

1197
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: thing I'm questioning. How long and how patient do aj

1198
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: Brown and DeVante Smith. They can say all the thing

1199
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: right things when they're winning, but eventually wide receivers want

1200
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: the football.

1201
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 2: No question. Just one quick point on the touch push,

1202
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 2: not not the not the play itself. But I think

1203
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 2: what's more important is how often they get into those situations.

1204
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,439
Speaker 2: Mike people seem to forget that. They get into short

1205
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 2: yardage situations, maybe more than any team in the league,

1206
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 2: and that allows for them to do the tush push.

1207
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 2: So that's something as a defense, you really have to

1208
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: think about how you want to defend them because you

1209
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: can't get into these third and one situations, and the

1210
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Eagles seemed to get in those an awful lot. Getting

1211
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: to the passing game, it's I'm trying to figure it out.

1212
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's they have a new coordinator in

1213
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Patulo, and he's been there, but still now that

1214
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 2: you're calling plays and it's your game, that's different and

1215
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 2: he I think it's a little bit of a work

1216
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: in progress. They're repeating an awful lot of concepts, which

1217
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 2: if they work, that's wonderful. But we'll see how that

1218
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: if that continues. I think there's been a number of things.

1219
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: There haven't been a lot of clean, defined looks for Jalen,

1220
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 2: but then sometimes when there are, I thought his eyes

1221
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: at times were in the wrong place. So it's, you know,

1222
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: when something's not working. As you know, Mike, it's never

1223
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 2: one thing, and you know, fans wanted to be one

1224
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 2: thing that they can point their finger at and say, oh,

1225
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 2: if we just fixed this, were great. It's never one thing.

1226
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 2: It's it's a number of things that have to do

1227
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 2: with the quarterback, the route concepts, I think the coordinator

1228
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 2: learning on the fly, and the run game hasn't been

1229
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 2: exactly what they had hoped, and maybe that'll happen today

1230
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: against a good defense, but a lighter defense up front.

1231
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I did like what they did in the preemptive. Hey,

1232
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: people are gonna need running backs, so let's go get

1233
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby now a couple weeks ago. I thought that

1234
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: was a nice astutient move, but also showed the confidence

1235
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville had an ETN and tooting the room. Yeah,

1236
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: they brought in.

1237
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 2: I always like Bigsby. I don't know what you thought.

1238
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 2: I liked it coming out of college. You know, I

1239
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 2: know we had some fumble issues at times, but I'd

1240
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 2: be curious to see, you know, when will Shipley gets healthy,

1241
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: what they decide to do, because I don't think they're

1242
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 2: not going to keep four backs. I don't believe. Maybe

1243
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, you never know what teams do.

1244
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 2: But I personally like Bigsby better as a player and

1245
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: a runner than AJ Dillon. But I don't how the

1246
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 2: Eagles feel about it.

1247
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: No, and that's it, right, guy battling back from an injury.

1248
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's far.

1249
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: You've seen six attempts twenty nine yards on the ground.

1250
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Thus far, as we look at transition away from that game,

1251
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: we've got so many big ones on the spot. Let's

1252
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: go to a couple of quarterbacks, young guys and trying

1253
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: to see what we've seen thus far. We've got Atlanta

1254
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: and Carolina. Let's hear a little Bryce Young.

1255
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 5: Young the snap thanks to Hubbard quick throw, redbro makes

1256
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 5: the catch for the touchdown man RPO from Bryce to

1257
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 5: Hunter Renfro his second touchdown catch.

1258
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: A couple of touchdown catches from Hunter Renfro, three touchdown passes,

1259
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: short red zone operation and efficiency in that failed comeback

1260
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: attempt last week, though some good battle from Canalys's group.

1261
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: In this week, they get the Atlanta Falcons and Michael Pennix.

1262
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like her. I've seen from Pennix up

1263
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 2: to this point. Decisive. We talk about that, you know,

1264
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 2: and sometimes decisiveness and this is never talked about. And

1265
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure there's a way to measure this with

1266
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 2: any kind of metric, you know, which now every website

1267
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 2: has these metrics.

1268
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Greg, you can make so much money. Figure out the

1269
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: metric that's it. Well, how do we get the decisiveness meaner.

1270
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Right. Well, not only that, but the point I was

1271
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 2: going to make was this is sometimes young quarterbacks, and

1272
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 2: Penix does not have this problem, but sometimes young quarterbacks

1273
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 2: don't have a clear, innate understanding of what's a viable

1274
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: throw at the NFL level versus the college level. Because

1275
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 2: in the college level, receivers tend to be open. Okay,

1276
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 2: so it's not always the open, Yeah, he's open. In

1277
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 2: the NFL, open is different. So a lot of younger

1278
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 2: quarterbacks don't see throws that are viable by NFL standards

1279
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,439
Speaker 2: as legitimate, viable throws to make. And I think that's

1280
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 2: part of the learning process, and I think Penix innately

1281
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 2: understands that. So he turns it loose. He's decisive, and

1282
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 2: you rarely see him get stuck in the pocket because

1283
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 2: he will turn it loose.

1284
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we'll see that that offense start to

1285
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: make some strides, certainly beyond Jean. You know, he's been ridiculous.

1286
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 2: I think you can make the argument. I think I

1287
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 2: said this last week that overall he's the best back

1288
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 2: in the league.

1289
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's gonna be fun to watch that Atlanta

1290
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: offense start pulling the strings. Now that you have to

1291
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: count on him both as a runner and receiver.

1292
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, so much. Yep, No, they're they're there.

1293
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 2: I think their offense will just keep getting better and better.

1294
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Big spot here Division game on the road at Carolina.

1295
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: All right, time to take a turn over to the

1296

Speaker 1: talking about these local calls of games for the the NFL,

1301
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,400

Speaker 1: highlights from the Angels City Call from the other night.

1331
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Couple of quick notes here, Mendoza after that huge game

1332
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: for Indiana, all the vaults, all the way up to

1333
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: the number two slot in terms of your Heisman favorites

1334
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: behind Matier. And then Raleigh with that home run. It

1335
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: was caught by the bullpen catcher who returned to him

1336
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: promptly in the post game. And then Mike Trout hit

1337
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: his four hundredth career home run and the fan that

1338
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: got it. All he wanted was to hang out and

1339
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: have a little catch on the field. There you go.

1340
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: Random notes that may interest well only me. But as

1341
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: we continue National Football League and we'll get to that

1342

01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:14,000

1347
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Harlem Globetrotters dot com. Now we obliquely brought in the

1348
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes into the conversation. An

1349
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: offense still trying to find his stride, its stride, no

1350
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: question about it. Run game outside of Patrick Mahomes has

1351
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: been lacking, waiting for those pass catchers. Just saw the highlight.

1352
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Worthy's gonna miss today's game, Greg Kelsey. Back to back

1353
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: weeks with huge gaps in the red zone and Mahomes

1354
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: has had shots downfield, just the timings not there, falling

1355
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: harmlessly incomplete for opposing ds.

1356
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is their pass offense is really I don't

1357
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 2: know what it is right now. There's really no intermediate

1358
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 2: passing game. Mahomes does not throw the ball to the

1359
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 2: outside very often at all. Less he's taking a vertical shot,

1360
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 2: so they don't really work that part of the field. Now.

1361
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 2: He's more than capable, obviously, of making any throw. He's

1362
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 2: a ridiculously talented thrower of the football. But they don't

1363
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 2: seem to work outside very much. You know, it's funny

1364
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Kelsey. I looked at that interception by

1365
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 2: Macooba twenty times, and I watched that tape and I

1366
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 2: couldn't figure out And I'm sure a coach could tell

1367
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 2: me whether Mahomes threw it a little, you know, just

1368
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 2: that hair too early or whether the Kelsey didn't get

1369
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 2: his head around quick enough because he was the throw

1370
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 2: got on him way too quick. So I don't know who,

1371
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. And like I said, I

1372
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 2: looked at it so many times. But you know, they

1373
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 2: score there, they probably win the game, but their pass

1374
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 2: offense is really non existent. In fact, Mahomes dropping back

1375
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 2: and then scrambling has really been more of their pass

1376
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,839
Speaker 2: offense than the passing game itself.

1377
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been an interesting slog through two weeks now

1378
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: they're on the road at the Giants. We watch them

1379
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: in that crazy shootout with the Cowboys a week ago.

1380
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Wandell Robinson through two weeks eight eighteen targets getting a

1381
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: heavy workload alongside Malik Neighbors, who in year two is

1382
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: just special on a whole other way. But you know,

1383
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: the player of the game had to be Cam Scatamo.

1384
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, not only does therop Brian Dable pressers, but

1385
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: you know that bulldozer coming from college as a rookie,

1386
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: given a little extra balance for Russell Wilson's offense.

1387
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those games where you watch

1388
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 2: and you know I try to figure out. You know,

1389
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 2: sometimes I can, I know based on just my knowledge.

1390
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 2: But how if you're the Cowboys, can you let so

1391
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 2: many receivers get over the top of you. I mean,

1392
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: that's the number one thing that defensive coaches talk about,

1393
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 2: you know, don't give up explosive plays. And it was

1394
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 2: just it was almost hard to watch. But Neighbors is

1395
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 2: really really good. I know. There are a lot of

1396
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 2: people and I was not in that group, and so

1397
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 2: far it's played out where I've been wrong. Up to

1398
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 2: this point. A lot of people thought Neighbors was the

1399
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: best receiving prospect in that draft class, better than Marvin Harrison,

1400
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 2: and up to this point it's played out that way.

1401
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 2: He's terrific. He's he maybe stylistically the closest thing for

1402
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 2: a young receiver to a Jamar Chase type player. Big, strong, physical,

1403
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: can run and is really good run after catch. You know,

1404
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 2: I think stylistically there are similarities Neighbors. Only being in

1405
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 2: a second year. You don't want to necessarily say, oh,

1406
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 2: that's who he is, But stylistically I think he's like that.

1407
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: But to your point with Russell Wilson, like everybody jokes

1408
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 1: about it, but like the one thing he still has

1409
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: is the ability to throw a deep ball. So how

1410
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 1: do you get beat on a deep ball that often?

1411
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Like that's the yah thing. Like stylistically, yes, it's like

1412
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: they you know, don't let the ball go over your

1413
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: head as an outfielder, and certainly in coverage that same

1414
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: thing like that. I don't want to call him a

1415
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: one trick pony. That's not fair. He's a guy that's

1416
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: had a highly decorated career, but at this point in

1417
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: his career, like, that's the one thing that we know

1418
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: has still been the go to even in struggles in Denver, that.

1419
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 2: He sees and if he sees that the throw is there,

1420
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 2: he will do that. So yeah, I again, you know,

1421
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 2: without breaking down plays, you know, somebody had to make

1422
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 2: a mistake somewhere along the line because you just can't

1423
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: let guys get on the top of your defense.

1424
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: And certainly the injuries in that Dallas secondary, Yeah, and

1425
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: the you know that the fact that that Parsons kid

1426
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: is playing for Green Bay, uh, certainly does not help,

1427
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, trying to mount a big defensive effort for

1428
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus right now again Dallas Chicago later on today

1429

Speaker 1: you can watch that game with me, live and living

1457
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: Blessed to be with you to get Week three of

1458
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 1: your National Football League Day started myself alongside Greg Cosell

1459
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: forty six years NFL films, the NFL Matchup Show, get

1460
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,759
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit of wisdom each and every listen

1461
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: that you get in viewing opportunity there at Greg Coasel

1462
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: where you find him on Twitter. Greg, we got a

1463
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: big one to end Week three, Detroit and Baltimore fifty

1464
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: two and a half. I guess the rumors of the

1465
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: demise of the Detroit offense were mildly exaggerated.

1466
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, this will be a little different game though, remember

1467
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 2: they played and again, every year is different, but they

1468
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 2: were there two years ago when GoF was playing really

1469
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,879
Speaker 2: well and that offense was really humming, and the Ravens

1470
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 2: just beat them badly. So this is a tough place

1471
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 2: to play in a tough road game. I know Mata

1472
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 2: Bouquet is out this week. He's a really really good

1473
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 2: player on the defensive front for the Ravens, and I

1474
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 2: believe Van Noy is out as well, So they're gonna

1475
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 2: have to go a little deeper in their depth chart.

1476
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 2: So maybe they're not going to be able to exert

1477
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,759
Speaker 2: the kind of pressure that they were able to exert

1478
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 2: two years ago. But there's no question that this offense

1479
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 2: for the Lions has a lot of good people. You know,

1480
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 2: we talk about quarterbacks and GoF is a perfect example

1481
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 2: of a guy that is essentially a pocket quarterback in

1482
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 2: a really good system, and he's big. See. You know,

1483
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 2: it's funny a lot we've become used to shorter quarterbacks

1484
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,640
Speaker 2: now because that's what the college game gives us. But

1485
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 2: when you when you're six four and two twenty, you

1486
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 2: know that that matters at the position. I mean, I've

1487
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 2: stood next to a lot of these guys. I've stood

1488
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 2: next to the smaller guys, and it's a big deal

1489
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 2: when a quarterback is six four six', five and it

1490
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 2: just makes it at times easier to sit in that

1491
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 2: pocket and deliver the football when there are people around.

1492
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: You, yeah every TIME i Watch Rokwan smith play and

1493
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: make another big, play the Little chicago part of me starts.

1494
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: To play back still.

1495
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: THERE i, mean, well get.

1496
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 2: Out you, know he's a really good. PLAYER i, mean.

1497
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: Obviously you know what's interesting is on their, defense they

1498
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 2: drafted this, Kid Teddy. BUCHANAN i remember doing him coming

1499
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:38,799
Speaker 2: out of, college And i'm trying to remember now exactly

1500
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 2: where he went to, college But teddybuke's from The West

1501
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 2: coast for. SURE i just can't remember what. School and you,

1502
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 2: KNOW i remember watching his tape AND i didn't love

1503
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 2: him on, tape but they really like him because he's.

1504
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 2: Starting he basically beat Out Trenton, simpson who you, know

1511
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 2: guys who were, drafted and a couple of them are really.

01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 1: Starting you could have used them yesterday as they got

Speaker 1: of the. Year, now the game didn't quite go according to,

1522
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: plan but when you can average get Him Derrick henry

1523
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: to eleven carries on twenty three yards where he's basically

1524
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: just fallen forward right because he's a shade over six feet.

Speaker 2: to have to find a consistent run game that has.

1583
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,479

1593
