WEBVTT - Week 1 NFL Preview 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:06.559 And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:08.039 What's up everybody? 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:09.119 Welcome to move the sticks? 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:09.479 DJ? 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:10.240 Buck with you? 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:10.560 Buck? 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:11.239 What is going on? 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:11.680 How you doing? 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:11.880 Man? 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:13.720 Nothing? DJ is here? 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.840 I mean the week the weekend is here is We're ready. 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.000 We're ready to watch all these games to get excited 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.040 about who is going to jump out the gate. We've 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.919 talked about it throughout the summer. How the Kansas City 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.440 Chiefs have really been a team that has jumped out 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.120 and has really positioned them well to make runs at 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.080 Super Bowls over the last five years. Which teams are 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:35.960 going to start out fast because you know, if you 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.640 get to the quarter pole three and one, four and oho, 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.159 it really sets you up not only to make the playoffs, 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.320 but to get one of the top seasons. 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:43.239 Conference. 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:45.839 Now, this is episode today, this is what we're doing. 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:47.640 We are looking at week one, so we're going to 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.920 go through every game in Week one. I am so 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.839 fired up. You are where you at Miami? 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:54.320 Is that where the Jags are this week? Right? 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.640 Yeah? Jags down in Miami to be a hot one. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.360 You're dealing with a fast team, a team that operates 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.800 like a track team. So very very quickly did Jaguars 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.800 get the true assessment of who they are and what 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:05.760 they are in the AFC. 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.640 I'm gonna be home for the Chargers taking on the 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.480 Raiders Division rivals. Think about that was really the end 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.119 of the previous regime, you know, was that Thursday night 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.080 game in Vegas where the Chargers got the doors blown 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.120 off by the Raiders. The Raiders finished up strong last 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.840 year in Antonio Pierce, he gets hired on full time. 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.200 The Jim Harbaugh Ras kicked off. So we're gonna get 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.440 into tho two games in a little bit. But this is 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.640 what we're doing. We're gonna find one storyline. Our favorite 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.800 storyline is Scouts that we're looking forward to seeing in 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.040 every single game. And we're going to start off first 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.520 of all, we've got a Thursday and a Friday this week, 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.840 which is awesome. Again, doesn't get any better. Ravens Chiefs 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.280 right out to shoot. What are you looking forward to 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:46.800 in that game? 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.840 Looked at the Battle of the MVPs and I'm looking 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.480 to see how Lamar Jackson handles the challenge of dealing 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.600 with the kan City Chiefs. 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.120 One if win in his career against the Kancity Chiefs. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.480 Pat Mahomes and company have really owned the Baltimore Ravens, 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.760 and the Baltimore Ravens have the challenge of breaking a 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.680 new defensive coordinator while dealing with the guy who knows 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.639 how they can get it done at the highest level 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:10.880 in Pat Mahomes. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:11.680 That puts a. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.000 Lot of pressure on Lamar Jackson to not only match 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.280 with Pat Mahomes does, but I think he has to 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.800 outplay Pat Mahomes. And when I look at this Ravens 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.320 offense and I look at how they're constructed, I don't 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.880 know if they're constructed for Lamar Jackson to get into 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.400 a shootout with Pat Mahomes. So a lot of pressure 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.160 on number eight, but even more pressure on maybe defensive 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.200 coordinator Zach war to keep the score down so Lamar 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.280 Jackson can do his thing on offense. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.400 I'm looking forward to two things in this game. 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.000 I'm gonna cheat, I'm gona give you two I'm gonna 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:44.000 say air yards for the Chiefs. And this was an 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.320 offense that didn't look familiar last year. I mean, Patrick 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.160 Mahomes was thrown underneath more than any other quarterback in 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:51.680 the NFL. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.919 I mean it was just get the ball to your hands. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.000 They're gonna play with two high looks and try and 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.440 take away explosives, and we don't really have the explosive 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.519 weapons that we're customed to, so they played small ball. 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.840 And I think they've done some things in the offseason 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.480 to add some explosive, dynamic players. Can they push the 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.160 ball down the field a little bit more Thany did 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.560 last year? So that's one thing on the chief side 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.040 of things. I'm not worried about their defense, and the 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.280 defense is going to be outstanding for the Ravens. Buck 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.240 We said this early on in when we were doing 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.400 these roster previews over the summer, and I believe that 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.320 the cost I think Eric the Costa mentioned this the 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.000 other day. Someone with the Ravens I think was Eric 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.480 said he thought they could be the best twelve personnel 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.799 team in the league. And that's something that we advocated for, said, Look, 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.720 you get your best guys out there, and that includes 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.880 Isaiah likely to go along with Mark Andrews. How do 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.040 they creatively use those guys? Think about what that offense 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.720 looked like early for Lamar Jackson when he came into 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.520 the league. They had tight ends and they could go 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.240 with a lot of different packages because of that room. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.680 I think their tight end room is going to be 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.120 what kind of drives this offense. So I'm excited to 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:52.920 see what that looks like. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.440 Yeah, it's a tough group to match up with. Isaiah 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.400 likely has star potential. You put him and Mark Andrews 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.000 on the field, you are a bit of bound up. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.600 You're able to kind of I would say, tilt the 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.960 coverage a few different ways in terms of being able 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.880 to go that tied end wing formation or some of 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.960 the other things that you can do. But it should 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.560 be a set that the Baltimore Ravens live out of. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.799 And so when you think about that combination and adding 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.000 Derrick Henry behind them, it's a unique offense that you 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:21.640 have to defend. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.720 But a lot of be predicated on how number eight plays. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.800 No question, Friday Packers Eagles, what's your favorite thing for 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:30.200 that game? 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.719 Which version of the Eagles will show up? And the 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.880 reason why I say which version is because this team 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.320 is loaded. This team is super talented. We've seen this 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.920 team play at a high level. In fact, last year 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.920 they jumped out to a ten and one start before 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.720 falling apart. I feel like they upgraded both areas at 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.960 offensive coordinated Kellen Moore coming over to I would say, 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.279 completely overhaul the way that they were doing things offensively, 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:58.000 then defensively Vic Fangio adding some sage wisdom to that 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.760 side of the ball to see how it all messes. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:06.279 And Mary's with Nick Sirianni's approach, because if they kind 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.880 of play to their talent, man, this team should be 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.239 one of the heavyweights in the league. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.359 It's weird to say you need buy in from the fans, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.560 but that's one of those kind of different fan bases, 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:21.520 different cities, different temperature there. So in other words, you say, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.479 you got to have some success early, get buy in 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.120 from the players. And like I think the players have, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.400 They've been in that division, They've seen what Kellen Moore 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.800 run offenses have done to them, so they know how 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.279 good he is. I think everybody in the building knows 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:33.600 how good Kellen is. But I think it'll be good 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.080 for the fan base to just go out there have 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.599 a good showing like, Okay, this is this fits, this works, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.400 this is going to cure some of our eol's here. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.680 I would say, the thing I'm looking forward to on 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.520 the other side is the Packers does a pecking order 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.080 emerge from the white Outs. They've got all these young 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.480 white outs and they're very talented, and they've spread the 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.240 ball around. But does a eventually buck. I'm a believer 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.920 that eventually there's an alpha that emerges, you know. It's 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.240 it's it's nice to say, oh, we've got four or 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.159 five number ones, We've got all these different guys. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.480 We can spread the ball round too. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.440 And it's a communist passing game, right, there's no everybody's 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:12.040 treated equally here. But I just I believe that eventually somebody, 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.200 somebody emerges out of that pack. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.920 Who's that going to be. I'm curious to see who 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:16.240 that is. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.520 Yeah, No, it's funny, and it's not only who emerges 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.040 as the number one receiver. I'm curious to see if 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.919 Jordan Love can pick up where he left off. A 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.120 lot of the enthusiasm and optimism around Jordan Love is 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.800 due to I would say, you stretch from Week eleven 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.080 through the wild card round, where he was sensational eighteen 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.760 touchdowns only one interception, really put the team on his back. 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.960 But you know how it is dj to go from 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.400 good to great in this league is about consistent high 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.040 level of performance can he deliver those things, because if 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.240 he can, then Green Bay Packers kind of creep into 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.920 that conversation as a Super Bowl contender. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.440 Yeah, I think they're right there. They're right on the 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.800 doorstep of being in that conversation. How about the symmetry here? 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.640 Even think about this, but Steelers Falcons. Look at Russell 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:07.440 Wilson and Kirk Cousins. They're both They're in the same draft, 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.560 drafted in a similar location in the draft. You had 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.320 both coming out of the Big Ten. They're both on 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:19.200 their third team. They're both trying to win over new 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.440 teammates while there's another quarterback in the building that at 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.160 least some in the fan base are excited to see. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.120 There's a lot of symmetry there between the Steelers and 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:29.680 the Falcons. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:30.720 Yeah. 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.040 One, there are a lot of people that are excited 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.800 to see QB two's as opposed to QB one. But 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.520 for both teams, it made me in the best interest 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.320 to hope that QB one gets off to a fast 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.440 start because a lot of their Super Bowl hopes hand 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.600 on their performances. I wanna take the Steeler side when 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.440 I look at it and Russell Wilson. What's interesting is 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.720 Russell Wilson being named captain despite the quarterback battle, despite 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.680 the competition that they were supposedly having. The Stell has 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.640 thought enough of Russell Wilson to name him the captain, 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.360 and so having the Sea on his chest being able 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.600 to lead this team. I'm still a believer that this 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.520 is really important for Russell not only to continue his career, 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.240 but to maybe cubmit his legacy as one of the 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.280 best players to play the game at that position, because 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.800 if he wins in Pittsburgh and has enough success, he 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.520 then opens the door for him to maybe get back 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.160 to that gold jacket status that he appeared to be 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.720 trending towards when he's with the Seattle Seahawks. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.400 In this front Yeah, that's Sea on his uniform. Buck 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.000 stands for cushion. Because if you thought there was good, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.199 if you thought there was gonna be a quick hook, 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.800 when you throw the Sea on your chest, that means 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.040 we're going to give him a little time to get 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.640 adjusted and figure this thing out. 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:44.880 That's what that tells me. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.240 If it was really neck and neck and it was 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.839 a last second, you know, Russ won that job by 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.200 a nose. I don't think you name him the captain 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.440 thinking that there could be a hook coming soon. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.800 No, I don't think there's any way, because you really 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:04.679 kind of compro his leadership potential if you have a 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.920 quick hook with him. For Russell, I think this is 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.640 a situation where you want to give him every opportunity 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.080 to kind of play his way into being the franchise 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.800 quarterback that you thought you were getting when you brought 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.320 him over from the Denver Broncos. I still believe he's 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.280 a good player. I think the offense is not going 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.080 to be what many expected. Want to see a flower 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.480 over the yard. I think Russell being inserted at quarterback 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.360 is about helping this team play winning football from a 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.520 managerial standpoint, not from a playmaking perspective. Hopefully he still 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.319 can give you that in the fourth quarter, but it 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.839 still should be defense, running game, timely playmaking. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.080 If all those things line up, it should be w's 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:42.920 for the Pittsburgh Studers. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.880 Man, let's free Bjon. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.200 Let's get Bijeon going here for you're the Atlanta and 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.079 that means all your is the field, that means the 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:55.880 passing game, everything. Utilize him. Cardinals, Bills. I'll run first 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.600 here and look, I'll be honest with you, I'm going 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.080 to keep this at the quarterbacks. I'm looking really looking 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.839 forward to seeing both these guys. I'm looking forward to 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:07.000 seeing Josh Allen Stefan Diggslet's offense. What does that look like? 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.720 I think you'll see Josh Allen. He'll elevate. I think 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.800 he will. I think he'll elevate and he'll elevate those 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.319 around him. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.720 Excited to see what he looks like. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.400 And then I'm fired up to see Kyler Murray now 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.160 back out there on the field, healthy like, back to 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.600 the explosive, dynamic Kyler Murray to go along with Marvin 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.640 Harrison Junior. I think this Cardinals teams a fun team man. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.439 I think I might even have pick the Cardinals in 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.520 the upset in this game. I just I'm curious to 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.040 see this team. I think they're gonna be fun. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:34.280 Man. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.080 They have a lot of potential and there should be 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.400 a lot of excitement about this team. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.080 Remember Kylin Murray. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.400 Most of the time when people have a cl injuries, 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.560 it takes the second year before they return back to normal. 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.160 We should see the version of caller Murray that we 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.000 saw early in his career. If he is that player 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.040 and you think about Barvion Harrison, junior Mike Wilson, what 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.960 they have on the perimeter. This offense is good, surprise 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.360 and defensively, Johnathan Genna has just done a really good 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:01.840 job of getting this team to play hard. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.600 You expect them to take more steps with more pieces 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:05.440 on their front line. 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:07.439 Titans Bears. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.160 I mean it's all about the Kayn Williams show, right, Like, 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.280 how do you get the young quarterback up and going? 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.200 How are you able to balance wanting to kind of 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.360 show off your talented you want while also playing game 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.120 the right way to put yourself in a position to 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.120 win behind the defense. That should be good. Just see 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.280 if Caleb Willis can kind of settle in as a 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.760 managerial type. We know the playmaking ability is there, but 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.400 the guys that win games in this league are the 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.920 ones that really excel at the boring stuff. He and 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.280 Kayleb Williams become boring and managerial in his approach as 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.679 opposed to being the gunsling er slash playmaker that he's 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:45.199 always been. 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.240 And I'll just say, look, Jeffrey Simmons, a dynamic player 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.240 that is a weak spot of the Bears interior offensive line. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.160 He's capable of wrecking shop. He's a one man band 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.600 over there, and he can disrupt things a little bit, 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.040 so that would be the key I think to keep 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.640 an eye on that one. Patriots Bengals man, Let's see 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.480 what happens as we're recording this. We don't have the 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.959 final answer on Jamar Chase. Maybe that's changed by the 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.920 time you're listening to this, but that's a very big storyline. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.640 And then the Patriots, I mean, how long how long 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.040 are you going to be able to keep Dreak May 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.040 on the sideline? Jacobra Brissett, here's your opening, here's your 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:22.640 opening act. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.840 Yeah, I mean so many storylines in this one. Does 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.960 Jamar Chase one is interesting? I've never seen a hold 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.600 in or whatever this is. With two years remaining on 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.920 the deal. This is one where he doesn't have any leverage. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.640 The fact that the Bengals are even entertaining contract extensions 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.760 with him not participating in practice, to me is baffling. 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.000 If they have to play without him, it puts a 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.320 lot of pressure on Jamain Burton to be ready to 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.160 go as a day one playmaker, not a day one starter, 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.640 but a day one playmaker that you count on. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.280 T Higgins is really good. I don't know if he 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.440 can hold down the fort by himself. He's going to 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:00.000 need a compliment. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.679 So that to me puts Jermaine Burton in a situation 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.400 where he could wear the big sombrero going into the 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:10.000 game Texans colts Buck, I mean, look, we've heard so 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.480 much about it. To me, it's the battle of the 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:13.400 young quarterbacks. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:13.719 C J. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.120 Stroud versus Anthony Richardson, all the things that we talked about. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.280 Stroud is a next level stuff. Can he be a 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.240 top five player? Can he be one the next guy 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.079 to challenge Pat Mahomes to be the face of the 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:29.960 league as QB one On the other side, though, Anthony Richardson, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.600 I mean the hype bunny. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.400 Four games he played. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.040 But yet the expectation is that he could be someone 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.320 that emerges as a dark horse MVP candidate. That is 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.400 a lot on a second year player. It's a lot 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.880 on a second year coach and Shane Stikeen to make 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.640 all of this happen with a limited amount of experience 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.120 that you have before building this offense around two guys. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.160 Tink Dell, I think it's got superstar potential. What does 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.880 he look like here? Back healthy. He was awesome last 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.240 year when he was out there with Stroud and then Latu. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.880 Latu your favorite player in the draft last year. So 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.120 I stole some of your thunder there from the Colts 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.680 edge rusher from UCLA. Not not an easy tackle to 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.600 go up against in that one. So we'll see how 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:15.880 he looks in his NFL debut. Your game Jags Dolphins, Buck, How. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.640 Did the Jaguars deal with the speed Miami. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.440 We can talk about the creativity and all those things, 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.760 but ultimately it comes down to matchups. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.080 In dudes versus dudes. When I look at the Dolphins offense, man, they. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.240 Have some dudes, some Do'sas the Jaguars get a break 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:30.160 because OBJ. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.440 Won't be cleared and available to play, He's out those 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:34.080 first four games. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:38.400 But Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Heel, Rahiem Moster, Jalen Bright, 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.760 Devin and a chain. You talk about a track meet 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.680 that is going to test your explosiveness from top to 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.640 bottom in the roster construction. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.880 Tough matchup for the Jags right out to gate. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.040 I'm looking at your Jags edge rushers to see what 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.000 that looks like to me. Walker, Can he take the 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.720 next step all the ability in the world. I thought 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.800 you saw him got better last year. Uh to see 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:05.160 continue to move forward there? Look, Josh is it Josh 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.360 Heinz Allen, Josh Allen Hines. I got to get that 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:13.400 straight now, joshines An Allen, Josh Heines Allen Again, those 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.600 two pairing up, What does that look like? That has 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.080 the potential to be a really really good pairing as 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.080 those guys continue to learn and grow as young, very 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.960 very talented players. But you know when you're if you're 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.280 young and you wore something, you know, you wore something new, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.280 and you went to a party to get together and 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.200 you got a lot of compliments. Maybe it's a new jacket, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.720 a new shirt, new hat, got a lot of compliments. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:35.720 You know what you like to do? Is you like 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.480 see you know the next one I go to, I 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.960 got to have something else new because I like those compliments. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.960 Remember last year the first four games, all we talked 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.040 about was the new motion that they were using with 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:50.200 Tyreek Hill. Yeah, I think I'm thinking Mike McDaniel's got 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.320 a new motion. I don't I don't have any intel 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.240 on that. I just feel like you got so much 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.200 love and praise for the creativity and bringing something real 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.240 to come with something new, like what do we got here? 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.800 And you might be the guinea pick here with the 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.760 Jags to see what he's going to dust off that 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.720 he hasn't shown at all in the preseason. So I'm 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.360 looking forward to seeing what kind of creative wizardry he 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.680 throws our way here in that ball game. Panthers Saints 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.320 who this. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.280 Has been DJ This is one where you want to 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.560 see if Bryce Young can bounce back. I want to 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.800 see what Drew Canalis can do to get Bryce Young 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.240 to play and play really well. Drew Canal has got 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:31.600 a lot of credit for the work that he did 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.800 with Baker Mayfield his first season as offense coordinator. People 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.800 give him credit for helping clear the clutter in Geno 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.000 Smith's brain when he had that breakout season up in 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.960 Seattle and Canalis was a quarterback coach. How does he 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.760 unlock the talents of Bryce Young? Bryce Young number one 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.640 overall pick, there's expectations that come along with that. How 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.760 quickly can Dave Canalis get Bryce Young to play at 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.280 the level that many expect when you're. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:55.920 Number one overall? 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.280 Yeah, I'm I just would say ditto. I think that 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.520 is the number one storyline in that game. And I 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.440 don't want to put too much on week one, but man, 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.040 it's just got to be better. It's got to look 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.840 better than it did last year. Provide a little bit 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.119 of hope for that organization. And you know, if not, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.480 that would be really, really demoralizing. So whatever you've got, 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.199 you know, won't save anything. Unload the bucket here in 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.480 the first game. Whatever you got to do, the pump 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.120 some confidence into not only Bryce, but into this team 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.040 and into this city that desperately needs it. All right, 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.800 let's say quick break, we come back. We'll run through 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:35.080 the rest of these games right after this. Vikings Giants 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:36.760 kind of a sneaky interesting game. 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.720 Buck Yeah, sneaky interesting because to me, this is Sam 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.040 Donald three point zero. This is the chance that everyone 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.119 has been If you're a Sam Donald fan, you've been 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.159 waiting for him to link up with an offensive mind, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.800 as creative and is as aggressive as Kevin O'Connell. Now 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.240 that we are here, how does Kevin O'Connell get Sam 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.720 Donald going? The weapons on the perimeter are outstanding, probably 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.040 the best set of playmakers dead he has on the perimeter. 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.639
