1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks. DJ. Buck 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: back with you on the heels of a Monday night game. Buck, 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: that I guess we shouldn't have been surprised by with 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: the San Francisco fort Night or is just just beating 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: the tar beating the stuffing out of the out of 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: the l a Rams. Your thoughts on that one. That's 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: a blueprint that has always been a blueprint for the 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: fort nine is when it came to playing the Rams, 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: beat them up. They beat him up in the line 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. They control the game. They control the game 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: defensively in terms of their defense dealing with the Rams offense. 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: And it's been a theme. Uh seven straight regular season 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: wins against the Rams. The only time that we've seen 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: the Rams knocked them off has been in the postseason. 16 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: This is a team that is very confident and playing 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh in this style of offense. And I think 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: they also I mean, you know, a DJ, when you 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: win the Baltimore Ravens or whatever, there's certain teams that 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: you know they're just not gonna match up. The physicality 21 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: it's just gonna it's gonna overwhelm them at some point 22 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: of the game. And even though they may at like 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: tough guys, they're not a tough guy team. And I 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: think what we see is in the forty nine is 25 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: Rams matchup the Rams and just not a tough team 26 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to the physicality and toughness. Dealing with 27 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: the Rams, dealing with tone, yeah, yeah, no. And by 28 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: the way, we got a lot of groun We're gonna 29 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: cover they. We're gonna get to a little take on 30 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, deep dive on him. We're gonna look at 31 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: the big play leaders runs and passes, who were the 32 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: most dynamic, explosive offenses. Will have some fun with that. 33 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna look at a couple of defenses 34 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: that have may be surprised us early in the year. 35 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: So we got a lot of ground to cover. But 36 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: getting back to this one buck, you know, you talk 37 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: about the physicality the toughness of the forty niners. Two 38 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: things here on the Rams side of things. Now, this 39 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: is two games, two primetime games in the first four 40 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: weeks where the offensive line has been the legend. We 41 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: saw it the first week against the Buffalo Bills where 42 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: they got beat up. And now this was I think 43 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: even worse what we saw what the Niners did to 44 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: them up front. This offensive line and everybody I saw 45 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: everybody was doing the Stafford Jared Goff comparison, and that 46 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: was like the low hanging fruit everybody's having fun with. 47 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you guys are that's that's masking the 48 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: issue here, Like this offensive line stinks like it's not good. 49 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: It is not forget championship caliber. I don't know if 50 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: it's playoff caliber um what we've seen from their offensive line. 51 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: So that's the first point. And then on the other 52 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: side of things, you go to the four Niners and 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: their defense. I feel like I know this group just 54 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: because Chris Cosserk you know, came from that Jim washburn 55 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: tree and we've talked about him before. Where they are 56 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: a get up the field, uh you know, approach and 57 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: it's an attacking front. And I don't know about you, 58 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: but for my money, it is so fun to watch 59 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the way that they play and and talking to people 60 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: that have coached in this scheme, they say, for defensive lineman, 61 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: there's three things that they do. They rush right, you 62 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: start out as a rush. It's every play as a 63 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: pass rush. So you rush, you crush. So in other words, 64 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: if it's so if it's a front side run, you 65 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: are just gonna crush the man in front of you. 66 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: Whatever you gotta do, knock him back, just condense the space, 67 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: and then you chase if you're on the backside. So 68 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: literally three things, rush, crush, and chase. That's the only 69 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: thing that's in your mind if you're a defensive lineman 70 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: playing this scheme. I love watching it. I love watching it. 71 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: I love the scheme in general, DJ because I think 72 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: the scheme allows athletic teams to play at their best, 73 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: meaning not a lot of thinking a man seaball, get ball. 74 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: That's basically what it is. Because when you think about 75 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: the coverages that they have on the back end, I 76 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: know Robert Sala used to do a lot of cover three. 77 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: They started mixing in some quarters. Dimiko Ryan has upped 78 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: it up a notch. But it is a really simple 79 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: defense for you to play in, and when you have 80 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: superior talent like the Niners have up front, you can 81 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: sit in this defense and play. But what Demko Ryans 82 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: did against the Rams, which was fascinating he brought more pressure. 83 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times when we think 84 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: about blitz pressure and what the intent of blitz pressure is, 85 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: some people think it's designed to get someone home freely, 86 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: but that's not really it. When you have a talented 87 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: front four, you bring a blitz so you can get 88 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: one on one matchup across the front line, and you're 89 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: banking that your guys will win the matchup. And that's 90 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: what we saw because the Blisses weren't complicated, bring the 91 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: nickel off the edge. Maybe they have a twist, stunt 92 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and go, but their guys whooped the rams. When we 93 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: think about the teams that go the distance, offensive and 94 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: defensive lines play a big role in determining who is 95 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: going to be the last team standing. And what I 96 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: saw last night, oh yeah, we we kind of laughed 97 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: at the forty nine is how they go handled the 98 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: quarterback situation. When then they got that resolved. You know, 99 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: I can look at his team and say, yeah, you know, 100 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: this team look like a Super Bowl team, no no doubt. 101 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: All right, let me let me just ask you this 102 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: question as we uh look at the standings here. Okay, 103 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: so let's we've talked so much about the a f C. 104 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: And we've talked about the quarterbacks being dominant in the NFC. 105 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: If you look in the NFC, and if you're the 106 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champion Rams and I look at Okay, 107 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: you've got the Vikings and the Packers. Um. Those two 108 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: teams on top of the NFC North, especially the Packers 109 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: and their defensive they can get after you up front 110 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: with their defense. You look at the NFC South, you've 111 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: got the first place. Actually, it's shocking that the Falcons 112 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: they are tied with the Bucks. But let's just say 113 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: the Bucks over the long haul of the season are 114 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna end up where they are. We know what they 115 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: have with their front and when they're when they're dialed 116 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: in their front seven, they can get after you. And 117 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: then obviously you know with the Philadelphia Eagles and their group, 118 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: their stable of eight rushers that they throw at you. 119 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know this is the right time to 120 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: be a little bit worried about your offensive line. I mean, 121 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: that's a real legit concern for this team. Man, It's 122 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: it's a legit concern. And DJ, I think what you 123 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: bring up is the theme of the season, particularly in 124 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: in the NFC. The teams are that are going to win. 125 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: It is funny because it used to always be the 126 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: a f C was about the defense and the physicality 127 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: and the toughness. And now you look at the NFC, 128 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that you're talking about for those top teams, 129 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: there's no one that you're like, oh my god, I'm 130 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: gonna stay up at night worrying about who's playing quarterback 131 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: for this team. But defensively, that's where the problems arise. 132 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: Can you block their fronts because all of the teams 133 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: that you mentioned in the hunt in the NFC, they 134 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: all have these guys that can get after it, and 135 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: they can get after without needing to blitz. They might blitz, 136 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: but it's not mandatory that they can get after the 137 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: quarter quarterback. Because of the blitz, they can get it 138 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: done with a four man rush. Nick Bosa, I mean, 139 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: is anybody is there any defensive lineman. I mean, if 140 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna build your team going forward for the next 141 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: ten years, I think you'd beat the pick. I mean, 142 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: he's he's an absolute monster man. Basic stuff. I mean, 143 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: I would call it high school Friday night stink schemes, stunts, 144 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: t E twist, anti twist, nothing excited about what the 145 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: nunners do. They have better talent. So when you have 146 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: better talent, you just at least you trying to keep 147 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: it very simple so those guys don't have to think. 148 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: Get out the way, let the talent shine through. That's 149 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: what they're doing. Yeah, and there's Look, there's a big 150 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: wave of of read fronts that you're talking about. This 151 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: too high shell and these read fronts where you gotta 152 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: play a gap and a half where you got even 153 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: two gap in some scenarios. Man, if I'm a defensive lineman, 154 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: I gotta go a chance to play in that attacking 155 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: front again, sign me up for that. It's just it's 156 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: fun to watch. And I know from a quarterback standpoint, 157 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: everything is on you like that, and you just know 158 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: these guys are they are head in looking at the 159 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: ball and they are getting off the rock man like, 160 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: that's a that to me is a quarterback. I don't 161 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: want to see that front. No, you don't want to 162 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: see it in DJ. That's the thing that the thing 163 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: from a scouting standpoint, like it's a note. We always 164 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: talk about so many things when it comes to evaluating 165 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: D line play, but I think one of the things 166 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: that maybe we don't talk enough about is get off 167 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: first step quickness, snapcount, anticipation. How quickly can you get 168 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: those three steps on the other side of the ball. 169 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: That determines everything, because man, when you're coming off the 170 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: ball hands into the chest, it completely recks what you 171 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: want to do from the offensive standpoint. But yeah, the 172 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: great pass rushes, the great d lines they get off 173 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: the ball. The guys come off like sprinters. And when 174 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: I saw the forty Niners last night, of course playing 175 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: at home gives you another advantage. They were coming out 176 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: like it was a hundred meter dis Yeah, and it's 177 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: a get off plus the take off. So not only 178 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: are you quick, but you're gaining ground. You're closing that 179 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: space and as a tackle, get into a rhythm of 180 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: a set. You know, when I get to this point 181 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: in the set, that's where we're gonna engage. They speed 182 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: that whole process up with how they rush. They come 183 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: off the ball so fast, man, just the anticipation, and 184 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: every now and then they may get a nutrazon infraction 185 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: of free snappialty. What you're doing is you are banking 186 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: that Oh we're getting off like we're getting off like bandits. 187 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: And it's a problem. Like even just that stunt right there, 188 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: that three man stunt did they did because they're doing 189 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: some of these you saw this on Freer Warner getting 190 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: the sack. They're using some three man combinations to create 191 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: these problems at the point of attack. It's fun. It's 192 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: fun to watch when you are when you're getting after 193 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: it and you're attacking, and they are definitely doing that. Um. Again, 194 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: I think most shows are probably sitting here today talking 195 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: about Athew Stafford and then they're talking about Jimmy Garoppolo. 196 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: To me, that was that was a defensive show and 197 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: that was the headliner they the conversation. Yeah, that's a 198 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: defensive show. I will say this, um, if you're the 199 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: Rams and the Mass Stafford conversation. The two things that 200 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: stand out to me about the Rams, um One, the 201 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: running game is Nolan Boyd. Now, no, the running game 202 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: is Nolan Boyd because the offensive line can't control a 203 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: lot of scrimmage and so so much of what made 204 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: this Sean mcbie offense work even at the beginning, the 205 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: run game and the compliments that came off of the 206 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: run created big plays in the past. Now what you're 207 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: seeing the meshing of Sean mcveigh's offense with Matthew Stafford 208 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: has changed the offense. The offense now more standard traditional 209 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: offense as opposed to the movement based, misdirection desception offense 210 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: that really made this offense very difficult. And as they 211 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: go further down the road with Matthew Stafford, this offense 212 00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: kind of becomes like the offense we saw in the 213 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: Detroit and it's a lot of isolation routes. Like basically, 214 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: it's almost like watching James Hard and go to work. 215 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: It's Cooper Cump on the outside winning one on one 216 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: against everybody. That's not a sustainable model because even if 217 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is getting twelve and thirteen catches DJ, he's 218 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: averaging less than ten yards a pop. Like that's not 219 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: enough to really impact the game. So teams are saying like, yeah, 220 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup can get is, but no one else is, 221 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: No one else is functioning, no one else is doing 222 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: anything for the Ramps to win. More people that have 223 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: to be involved, and I think this offense has to 224 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: kind of go back to the original premise where they 225 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: used the running game, misdirection and deception to create big 226 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: plays on the perimeter. Well I'm glad you mentioned big 227 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: plays because we're gonna get there. Uh in just a 228 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: moment here, we're gonna take a break, we're gonna come back, 229 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about justin fields, and we're gonna look 230 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: at who is leading the league in big plays. This 231 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: is uh, something that was tweeted out by Marcus Moser. 232 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: Is very interesting, just kind of looking at the runs 233 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: of ten plus yards, receptions of twenty plus yards, combine 234 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: those and then you get your big play numbers. And 235 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: when you see where the Rams stack on this list, 236 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: it's gonna very much supplement the point that you were 237 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: just making. So we're gonna get right to that. Just 238 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: after this, also gonna hit on, uh the Chicago Bears 239 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: and their young quarterback justin fields. All right, Black, let's 240 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: get to justin fields here. Uh. Numbers are not pretty. 241 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that we thought they would be based 242 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: off the personnel that they had around him. But he's 243 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: only got two passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, four picks 244 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: this season, has not a touchdown in three games, UM 245 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven rushing yards and a touchdown on 246 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: the ground this year, So I'm curious. I went back 247 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: and pulled some numbers and watched some tape um to 248 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: see if there's anything that that stood out in terms of, 249 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, what was wrong there, what was the issue? 250 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: But before I get to that, I want to get 251 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: your unh unmanipulated opinion here and uh and see if 252 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: we're on the same page of what's what the heck 253 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: is going on in Chicago. Well, one, the first thing 254 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: that we always talked about when it comes to young 255 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks the three p's play caller, protection, playmakers. All right, 256 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: play call you have the first time offensive coordinating Luke 257 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: gets who's trying to figure out a way to blend 258 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: the talent that the Bears have and to put it 259 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: together in a way that works. You have a defensive 260 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: minded head coaching Matt Eberflus, who it said, we can 261 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: win games if we don't turn the ball over. So 262 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: when they get in the pinch, they batten down the hatches, 263 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: they run the football, they punt, they play defense, they 264 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: take the ball away. And that has been successful for 265 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: them because I want to say they're tune and two 266 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: because their defense has done enough to give them a chance. 267 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: But then when you go to the protection, their offensive 268 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: line has been terrible. We talked about how terrible they were. Um, 269 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: it's been a mess of just a bunch of different 270 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: pieces that you're trying to throw together. But there is 271 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: no one who came into the season expecting the Bears 272 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: offensive line to be the strength of the team. And 273 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: then when it comes to the playmakers, please tell me 274 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: the high end playmaker that's on that offensive squad. Darnielle 275 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: Moody is a number one receiver and people have been 276 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: raving about him because he has been successful in fantasy, 277 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: but in reality, is he someone that you have to 278 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: really game plan for if you're on the defensive side 279 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: of the ball. And then who are the other threats? 280 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: David Montgomery and Killer Herbert have been fine, but who 281 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: are the other high end threats that you have to 282 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: talk about? So a lot of what we're seeing from 283 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: justin Fields is about the pieces around him. And so 284 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: before we can even do a real evaluation on him, man, 285 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: you gotta upgrade the parts around him to give him 286 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: a chance. And so I understand, I've heard the noise, 287 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: I've heard Mike marts talk about he's running back, playing 288 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: quarterback and all this other stuff. But until you give 289 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: any quarterback, any quarterback credible weapons on the outside, man, 290 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: you have no way of being able to evaluate whether 291 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: they can play or not in this league. All right 292 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: to that point, and we're gonna get to this big 293 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: play chart here in just a minute. But if you're 294 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: looking at just the most explosive past plays, the Giants 295 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: only have four entire season, they're still winning games miraculously, 296 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: only four plays of twent plus yards, and the Bears 297 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: are second worst with eight um so, and if you 298 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: look at the receiving core of those two teams, I 299 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: would say, no bueno um just not a lot going 300 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: on in terms of the weaponry there for those two teams. 301 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: So there's clearly a lack of explosive places. These are 302 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: some of the next gen stats that I pulled I 303 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: thought were fascinating, and then when I went and watched 304 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the tape, I'll give you what I thought there as well. 305 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: So forty four point six pressure percentage on fields, That 306 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: means forty percent of the time, if you round up, 307 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: he's getting pressures the past. That's that's second second most 308 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: in the league, I believe, Daniel Jones, I think it's first. 309 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: Um SO, you talk about two quarterbacks and tough spots. 310 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: Those would be the two. Um, the blitz percentage, he's 311 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: been blitzed thirty three percent at the time, that's the 312 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: fourth most, So teams are going after them. And why 313 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: why would you be emboldened to blitz buck Because you're 314 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: not scared of what they're gonna be able to do 315 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: to you. And clearly they haven't been able to generate 316 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: any big plays. Um. And then the third one, which 317 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: I found was kind of fascinating, is the time to throw. 318 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: So you'd say, okay, you're you're getting a ton of pressure. 319 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: They're blitzing you, you know, a ton, so you must 320 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: have to get the ball out quick. No, he's actually 321 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: has the the third longest time to throw because he's 322 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: probably it's counting the scrambles him scrambling around like crazy. 323 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: So that's three point one two seconds on average time 324 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: to throw. So then I went back and said, okay, 325 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: let's instead of trying to find everything that's wrong with 326 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: this offense, let me go find some of the things 327 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: that are right and maybe they can just do more 328 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: of these things. So I'm back to said, you know, 329 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch all their first downs gained, whether through 330 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: the air or on the ground where Justin Fields was involved. 331 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: So either his runs or his throws. And you know, 332 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: one of the things I thought that I came away 333 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: with looking at this is it's like the opposite of 334 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Remember what Burrow. We said his superpower, get 335 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: five out into the round, let him boom boom boom, 336 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: and then that's when he's at his best. To me, 337 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: when I look at some of the successful plays, and 338 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: there aren't many of them, when I look at him, 339 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: it's play action. It's it's boot off, play action. It's 340 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: keeping six and seven guys in to help this terrible 341 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: offensive line. And then he's got the opportunity then to 342 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: try and get something down the field. And if there's 343 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: nothing down the field, he can scramble around, try and 344 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: make a player just take off and go um. But 345 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, the the spread, the spread and spread trying 346 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: to cover up for your offensive line by getting the 347 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: ball out quick and getting everybody out into the route. 348 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: That's not Justin Fields. I think he's much better equipped 349 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: if you're gonna give him some help on the edges 350 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: with your backs and tight ends, play action to get 351 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, some depth, and then boot him, move him 352 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: off that play action. To me, that's the best way 353 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: forward for them to try and have something offensively. No, 354 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: the DJ I think is is is a great analysis. 355 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a great point that you're able to 356 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: mix the next instats with the tape. But then let's 357 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: take it even further to what we saw when he 358 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,359 Speaker 1: was at Ohio State. At Ohio State, we talked about 359 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: his ability to see the entire field and how it 360 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: was better when they did half field reads, things that 361 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: were in levels, things that were right in front of him. Well, 362 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: when you think about a young quarterback and you think 363 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: about the easiest way to build a passing in for anybody, 364 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: whether I'm at high school, all the way up, half 365 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: field reads maximum protection to make sure that he doesn't 366 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: get hit, because then that way he is able to 367 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: see exactly what he needs to where he needs to 368 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: throw it, and it makes simple reads. When I think 369 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: about the Bears in the running game, they have been 370 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: able to run the ball successfully. So now that you 371 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: run the ball successfully, the natural compliment to that deep 372 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: play action passes off complimentary run action plays. So if 373 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: you're running the outside stretch, the play action fake should 374 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: be some kind of form of an outside stretch play 375 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: that allows Justin Fields to get deep away from the 376 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and when he throws it, he throws 377 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: it deep down the field over as crossed his post, 378 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call it. And so to me, it 379 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: is all right, we're quartered the way into the season. 380 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: Let's look at what we do really well. We're running 381 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: the ball and he is throwing off six and seven 382 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: man protection. Rouse that needs to be the passing game. 383 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: Thinking about you can do all this other stuff like this, great, 384 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: but now that we're playing in the season, you have 385 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: to do work what works for at the young quarterback 386 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: who is playing the game, and so for Justin Fields's 387 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: maximum protection two and three man brows, push it down 388 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: the field and then bootleg and uses athleticism and make 389 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: add yep, absolutely, that's gonna get us to this this 390 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: next conversation, which is the big place. And so let's 391 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: get to the to the Bears that I mentioned only 392 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: eight explosive pass plays, which is second worse than the league. 393 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: But if you look at their explosive runs you mentioned 394 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: about twenty four, second in the league. So it's it's 395 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: fascinating to me and we'll get to the leaders on 396 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: this thing. On the on the leaders, it's the Eagles, 397 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: the Lines, and the Packers. But right below them in 398 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: terms of big plays are actually the Browns and the Bears. 399 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: And it's lopsided. The Browns have twenty five rushes uh 400 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: and only nine passes, so twenty five runs and ten 401 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: plus yards only nine passes of twenty plus yards. The 402 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: Bears four runs a tenni plus yard's only eight receptions. 403 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: How it's hard if you're the Browns and you're the 404 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: Bears to run the ball that well? How are you 405 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: not able to pay that off with some big chunk 406 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: plays as the box gets crowded, as the safeties are 407 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: coming down? How are you not paying this off with 408 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: big plays? Yeah, so there's a couple of different things. Um, 409 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: you know that, because we've worked in leagues for a 410 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: long time. Sometimes the play caller it's not the same 411 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: guy who is calling the run game, and so because 412 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: they're not the same they may not be able to 413 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: marry complimentary passes with what works in the running game. 414 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: So those guys have to be on the same page. 415 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Whoever is the run game coordinator, he and the offensive 416 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: coordinator have to be on the same page to make 417 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: sure that the running game looks like the past game, 418 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: and vice versa. Secondly, sometimes you go into the season 419 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: thinking we're going to play this way based on the 420 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: moves that we made in the off season. I want 421 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: to do this, I want to go spread, I want 422 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: to throw it out, we want to get it out 423 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: of his hands, YadA, YadA, YadA. But at some point, 424 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: after a quarter to the season has been played, you 425 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: do a self scout and you say, hey, guys, I 426 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: know we spent all our time doing this. We can't 427 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: do that now. We gotta make sure we do what 428 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: works for us, and DJ it happens. The best teams 429 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: are able to adapt and adjust to their personnel and 430 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: their circumstances and whatever else impacts the offense and the defense. 431 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: So I would like to think that now after four games, 432 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: LU GETSI meant even Flows they get on the same page, 433 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: and even Flows is like, Hey, here's what I want 434 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: to see from our offense. We're doing a good job 435 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: when we take care of the football. We're running the 436 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: ball really well. That's find a way to help the quarterback. 437 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: He appears to be playing well on play action. So 438 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: let's take a handful of shots. His pitch count is 439 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: twenty to passes. Whatever that looks like. Because we're gonna 440 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: run the football, we're gonna take care of it. When 441 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: he throws it, throws a deep If not, he can 442 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: roll and get out of bounds, and we'll play defense 443 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: like ping pong. So to me, that's the Bears best 444 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: course of ashion. They gotta have their conversation to make 445 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: sure they protect it, but more importantly, they give their 446 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: team the best chance to win because they have won 447 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: games with this formula. They just got to find a 448 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: way to continue to sustain it while the rest of 449 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: the League of deafs to what they're doing. Yeah, it 450 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: is amazing though the limited number of passing attempts. I mean, 451 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: they had a bad weather game, a really bad weather 452 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: game against San Francisco and the opener, so I understand that, 453 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: but they have not thrown it very much. Um. The 454 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: interesting thing the three teams I mentioned there at the top, 455 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Lions, the Packers. Not only those the 456 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: top three in terms of combined big plays, but they're balanced. 457 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: The Eagles rushes sixteen passes, uh, the Lions seventeen rushes 458 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: eighteen passes, The Packers eighteen rushes, seventeen passes, so they're 459 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: getting big plays and it's a mixture of on the 460 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: ground and in the year. It's a sign of three 461 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: pretty complete offenses. I don't think we're surprised. They're not 462 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: super surprised to see the Eagles there with all the 463 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: weapons they have, and Jalen Hurts taken the next step 464 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: the Packers with two time back to back raining m 465 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: VP not a surprise. The Lions would be the one, 466 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: and we broke that down on a previous episode about 467 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: what they're doing offensively, and hat tip to them. They 468 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: are rolling. The thing that's interesting to me, Buck, Look 469 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the list the two least explosive 470 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL through four weeks, or the two 471 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: teams that played in the dang Super Bowl last year. 472 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: That's the Cincinnati Bengals only have seventeen big plays and 473 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: the Rams are dead last with sixteen big plays. Um, 474 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: so they are playing station to station ball and they 475 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: have just had nothing explosive on the ground or in 476 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the air for either one of those teams. That's pretty shocking, 477 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: don't you think, Well, it's shocking, But then DJ, is 478 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: it really because you know what happens in our league. 479 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: In our league, what everyone does is they copy the winners. 480 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: And so when you go to the Super Bowl, your 481 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: tape has been scoured by everybody in the league. What 482 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: does the Cincinnati Bengals do to make themselves a Super 483 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: Bowl team? How the RAM has been able to get 484 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: it done? So every team is studying and implementing and 485 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: defending the schemes that those two teams put into play. 486 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: And if you are Sean McVeigh or Zach Taylor, if 487 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: you don't continue to build upon what you've already established 488 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: within the offense can get staled. And so those guys 489 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: have to challenge themselves to continue to get in the 490 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: lab and to find different ways to expand upon what 491 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: they're doing. Maybe it's more misdirection, Maybe it's more pre 492 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: staff disguise motion shifts to kind of mass him about 493 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: bass plays. But they got to add a level of 494 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: deception to what they're doing to keep people from squatting 495 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: on the routes and the concepts that were popular for 496 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: them last year. And no doubt, UM interesting interesting list again. 497 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: Hat tip to Marcus Moser who tweeted out this list. 498 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: UM gave us some good content for the day. We're 499 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: gonna look at a couple of defenses here, Buck. You know, look, 500 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: there's you know, there's the forty Niners doing what they 501 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: did in primetime and getting all that attention. But there's 502 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: a couple of other defenses playing really solid football right now, 503 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: uh and keeping their teams competitive. And I look at 504 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: the Giants, and I look at what the Broncos have done, 505 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: and it, uh, it jumps out to me. Um, just 506 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: your take on on what you've seen from this Giants defense, 507 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: and um and how in the world they've been able 508 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: to find themselves at three and one. It's a mystery 509 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: to me. But their defense has played their butts off. 510 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: Defensive play lights out wing. Martin Deal is one of 511 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinators in football. Brian day Ball has 512 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: done a great job of putting his ego to the 513 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: side and coaching the team to win, not coaching the 514 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: team to compile stats, particularly on the offense side of 515 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: the ball. When I think about what Wink Martindale wants 516 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: to do on defense, they believe in bringing pressure. They 517 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: want to bring pressure all over. And the funny thing 518 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: about Martin Deal is he values corners over pass Russians 519 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: because he feels like he can create pressure with his 520 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: play designs. And when you look at this team, remember 521 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: the first couple of games, they didn't have Cabin Tipo. 522 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: Though they didn't have his ease or your Laurie, they've 523 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: been able to get it with a bunch of different people, 524 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence making contributions at the point of at act. 525 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: But it's a combination of the wild exotic schemes mixed 526 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: with what we call simulated pressures, which are four man rushes. 527 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: But you never know which four guys. It could be many. 528 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: It could be a safety and three lineman. It could 529 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: be a line back, a safety into d lineman Russian. 530 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: But whatever it is, it's only four coming after you. 531 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: But it allows you to play maximum coverage behind it. 532 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: But for the quarterback, you have no idea where it's 533 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: coming from. And the thought of second level guys coming 534 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: down and rushing quick as your clock speeds you up 535 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: makes you play at a faster pace and that leads 536 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: to mistakes. And so the Giants had been really excellent 537 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: in what we call teaching conceptual football because Wain Martindale, 538 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: out of his own mouth, talked about Oh, we want 539 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: to play position list football, so each and every week 540 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: you never know who's doing it. We have to play. 541 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: We just plug different players into the play design. So 542 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: it's the same blitz for us, just different people execute it. 543 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: It's really remarkable. Yeah, they're they're tied for ninth in 544 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: the NFL, averaging seventeen point eight points per game allowed. Uh, 545 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: their eleventh with six takeaways. That the couple of things 546 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: that I've dug into here. You hit on big Dexter 547 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: and play for your dad in high school. You've known 548 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: him forever. He's playing and outstanding. He's twenty four years 549 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: old and he's been in the league for a little while. 550 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: He's only twenty four years old at sixty pounds whatever 551 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: he is, man he was, he's been dominant. He is 552 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: a great player. Um and somebody I think they can 553 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: kind of build their defense around. And if you think 554 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: about Wink, he's He's always had those types of guys 555 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. That's what those look like. Oh, they just 556 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: they roll him through pierced. They've had a zillion of 557 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: those type types of players. Now Dexter's Uh. I think 558 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: Helodi was our comp for him. Uh, you know, coming out. So, yeah, 559 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: it's funny you talk about Dexter because I will say 560 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: this and my dad blows me up every day about it. 561 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: He has always felt like Dexter was underutilized in terms 562 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: of what he could bring to the table as a 563 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: pass rush and I was like that, he's three. He 564 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: has to be a nose time. He can't. He can't 565 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: just be a pass rushing specialist. And he has always 566 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: felt like that. And now what you're seeing is Wink 567 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: Martindale has certainly freed him up to get after the pass. 568 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: And we've seen Dexter, who's very athletic for a size 569 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: rundown quarterbacks on the backside. I e. Baker Mayfield and 570 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: those things. And so I love this defense and I 571 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: actually love the way the Giants play. I am a 572 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: believer that I believe teams have to play to the 573 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: identity of the city. And when I think about the Giants, 574 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: and I think about the most successful Giants teams, they 575 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: were grizzled, they were rough and rugged, but they were 576 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: defense first, running game, take care of the ball. We 577 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: beat you up because we don't mess it up. Get 578 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Brian Day ball credit. They are playing to their identity. 579 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: I love it. I love watching what they're doing. Yeah, 580 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: and if you look at schematically talk about coverages and 581 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: cover one obviously single high man coverage cover three. So 582 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: they're a single high team in a league that's kind 583 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: of gone to the two high shell not not with 584 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: the Giants. They are single high, cover one cover and 585 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: we're doing it. And what we're doing is because what 586 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: Martin Neill wants to do, when he wants to, he'll 587 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: take away the ring game. But also in that DJ 588 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: simple for us, hard for you. Simple to teach guys 589 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: to play cover one and cover three. Those are high 590 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: school defenses. Yeah, they're some tweaks and things that they 591 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: do to it, but it's very simple for those guys 592 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: to play fast. And then what he does is he 593 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: muddies the picture with the twists and stunts and blitz 594 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: pressures that he uses up front. To me, I think, 595 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a great way for them to play. 596 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: And they still don't allow the ball to fly over 597 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: their head, keep the ball in front, make the team 598 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: drive the length of the field. Because he feels like, 599 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: at some point I'm gonna crack the code, and when 600 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: I cracked the code, I'm gona get a free runner 601 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: to the quarterback and we can get off the field. 602 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: That's what they've been able to do. Yeah, and they're 603 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: in London, which is a reminder for everybody. Giants Packers 604 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: live on NFL Network from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Sunday nine 605 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: thirty a m. Eastern again six thirty on the West coast. 606 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: Is nothing better than a little early morning football. Alright, 607 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: mentioned the Broncos, we can get to them quickly. I'll 608 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: give you the breakdown on on them. You talk about 609 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: maybe the simplicity in the back end of the Giants 610 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: different with the Broncos cover three quarters ntcent. They're playing 611 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: quarter quarter half um by the way back. Just for 612 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: for those that may not understand that, can you explain 613 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: quarter quarter half coverage and what you're doing there. So 614 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: the the easiest way to think about it is is 615 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: the mix of what people talk about Tampa two. So 616 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: Tampa two, your corners are upheart jam and rerouting. You 617 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: have too deep, safeties occupying halfs of the field. Well, 618 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: quarters split the field in quarters corner has the outside quarters, 619 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: safeties have the inside quarter of the field, and so 620 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: then you have those four things were quarter quarter half 621 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: is a mix of that into the boundary. You're playing 622 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: cover to hard corner, rolled up jam and funnel half 623 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: feels safety over top to the field. You're playing quarter quarters, 624 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: so you have the quarner playing inside off, you have 625 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: the safety occupying that inside quarter of the field. And 626 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: what it does, it gives you the best of both world. 627 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: It's a seven and a half man run defense while 628 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: also being able to occupy and take away things in 629 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: the passing game. You can double then X receiver because 630 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: in three by one that half field means a jam 631 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: and reroute with the safety of the top, so you're 632 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: able to make things no and void. It's a nice mix. 633 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: It's a nice mix of covers that the Broncos are used, 634 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, and looking at their players, Bradley Chubb playing 635 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: a very high level um power, you see that they 636 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: mix in some six man pressures. They run good games 637 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: up front. I thought though, just looking at this team, 638 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: uh d J Jones, Draymond Jones, uh good good interior rushers. 639 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: They've got some twitch and some burst. They're not just 640 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: kind of static interior players. So that was good to see. 641 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: But watching the early tape, gosh, it's a bummer about 642 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory being hurt because that that's a nice compliment 643 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: on the outside of Bradley Chubb. That's a big injury. 644 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: Then you flip it over the offensive side. Javonte Williams. 645 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if a team has had, you know, 646 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: two more impactful injuries. I would say Chargers have Slater 647 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: in Bosa Um, you know, in terms of being out 648 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: for a significant period of times later missing the whole year. 649 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: But those two for the Broncos are huge. Man. Now 650 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: you lose Javonte for the entire season, Yeah, huge loss. 651 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: Huge loss with Javanti Williams because now it becomes Melvin 652 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: Gordon's show. They signed with Tavis Murray, but it's different. 653 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, I want to say, was leading the lead 654 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: yards after contact, averaging two point five one yards for 655 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: uh carry after initial contact. That is crazy sauce in 656 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: terms of he's up there with some of the best 657 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: running backs in the league when it comes to who 658 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: we're talking to Henry and those guys. So he was 659 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: playing at a high level. They're able to run the football, 660 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: which was probably the best part of their offense. So 661 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: that becomes Melvin Gordon show. He has to continue to 662 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: do it, but he has to take care of the 663 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: ball because he's one of the league leaders when it 664 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: comes to fumbling. But with that defense, Randy Gregory's loss 665 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: will certainly be felt. You don't have the speed and 666 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: the explosives coming off to airs. To compliment Bradley Chub, Yeah, 667 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: it'd be a huge loss. They have to figure out 668 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: a way to manufacture some of this stuff, all right. 669 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: And a reminder, you can watch the Colts versus the 670 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: Broncos on Thursday Night Football.
