1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Well on a week where we saw another overtime game

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: featuring a fourth round rookie quarterback, we saw a running

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: back forced into duty as an emergency quarterback, and Bill's

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen doing something he has never done. We

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: get to welcome you to a Monday edition of Move

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: the Sticks alongside our former NFL scout Bucky Brooks. I

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: am Resods and we are missing DJ today, but we'll

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: get him back here later in the week. Um, Bucky,

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: fantastic Week four in the NFL. We get to chop

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: it all down now and break it up, chop it

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: up and break it down. So my biggest question though,

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: is with our first London game now on the books,

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the big three here in just

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: a minute. With our first London game in the books,

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: and Harry Kane right in the house at Tottenham Hotspur

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: Stadium and Ted Lasso the like the entire cast of

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso there to watch the Vikings and Saints, how

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: do we feel like a sixty one yard double doink

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: was received by out there off the foot of Will

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: Lots right like that's the biggest question of this whole week.

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: And that is the biggest question because that was quite

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: the remarkable reception that London did for the National Football League.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: But we're not surprised because we've seen how the international

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: flavor has been. Stars from all around come to check

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: out these games. Games sellout in a hurry, and for

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: the most part, like it was a very entertaining game

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: when you think about the New orles Aiances and the

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and what transpired over the course of that

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: sixty minute game. So yeah, I think Ted Lasso and

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: company were very pleased. Even though it ended up dog.

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: He'd be happy with the Little Believes sign up there

33
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: at the top of the locker room, the way that

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: both of those teams really fought down the stretch. Let's

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: kick that kick it off our big three here in

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: this week four edition to Move the Sticks. We'll kick

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: off with the London game of Vikings and Saints. Of course,

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: we'll tell you all about the London experience coming back

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: again here in week five and just a little bit.

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: So let's figure this thing out in Viking in Saints.

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson goes off and with Marshawn Lattimore essentially the

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: primary guy in coverage most of the day against Justin Jefferson,

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: He's still able to go off to the tune of

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: ten catches one and forty seven yards and so many

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: of those were well placed right like down the stretch,

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: getting Greg Joseph in position for what would have been

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: the would ended up being the go ahead field goal.

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: And that's just after a couple of games where you know,

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: he didn't have that major impact like Spungy onint. So

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: fucky your thoughts there from a biking's perspective, and then

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: we'll get to the shorthand saint side of think. I

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: think Kevin O'Connell already is showing his chops as a

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: play caller. The last couple of weeks, Justin Jefferson had

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: not gotten a lot of touches. Kevin O'Connor made a

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: concerted effort to make sure that number eighteen touch the

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: ball early and often, And some of that was just

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: a Justin Jefferson winning but a lot of it was

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: by design short motion and the slot wheeze and tight

59
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: formations crossing roused that really made it difficult for Marshawn

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Ledimore to work through the thicket of people to try

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: and stay on top of Jefferson. So for me, a

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: lot of this was game planning. Justin Jefferson is terrific.

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: But give Kevin O'Connell a star for his efforts because

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: he did a great job of making sure that his

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: best player got primary touches in great positions on the field.

66
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: And then, Bucky, you know, we have to obviously consider

67
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: that the Saints were playing this game, you know, without

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, their starting quarterback, without Alvin Kamara, without Michael Thomas,

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: without Andrew's pete. And look, every team deals with injuries,

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: but those are some pretty big ones to some primary

71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: pieces of your offensive attack. Yet Andy Dalton I felt like,

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: for the most part, kind of led this offense very efficiently.

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Like you could make the argument, Bucky that this was

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: kind of the most consistent offensive effort by the Saints

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: this season, which kind of makes me wonder, like, kind

76
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: of slow play that Jamis Winston rehab situation and see

77
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: what Andy Dalton can do for you. I don't know

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: if they've gotten to that point just yet, But so

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to consider down the stretch here, um, you know, if

80
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: if Winston isn't one. Yeah, Marcos callaway Jarvis Landry and

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: then with Tatius Murray comes back to this team up

82
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: practice squad and really plays a nice role in their

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: comeback effort. And um, look, I think you gotta give

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: him credit. At the very end of the game, you know,

85
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: you hit Will Luds who hit the sixty yard er

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: to tie things up. Then they watched the Vikings get

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: down the field very quickly and take a three point

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: lead once again, only to have Lots to attempt the

89
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: sixty one yarder that goes off the upright and then

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: the crossbar and out for the double points. So fucky.

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on the Saints at this point?

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I think disappointment and where they're sitting right now, But

93
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: there's still lead game out of first place in the

94
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: NFC South. Well that's a good thing. The good thing

95
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: is the division hasn't run away from them, so they

96
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: still got enough time to figure it out. And you know,

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: you've been around the league long enough to know that

98
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: coaches take these things into quarters. So the first quarter

99
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: of the season is to assess who you are, how

100
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: you have to play based on what you have on

101
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: your roster. It's one thing to speculate a we're going

102
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: to be able to play this way when you're in

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: pre season and training camp. When now we've got four

104
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: games under built, you know exactly who your team is,

105
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: and then you begin to make those adjustments to put

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: your team in the best situation to flourish. It's interesting

107
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: the comments that you make about Andy Dalton Jamis Winston.

108
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: I know there's been that conversation about Andy Dalton maybe

109
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: being the starter down the line. I think Jamis Weston

110
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: is the starter, but certainly it opened the door for

111
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton to kind of sneak in there if Jamis

112
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Weston falls is when he does return. I think this

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: this weekend really showed us this week in particular again

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: the value of a capable backup, or a capable backup

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: backup in the Patriots sense. We'll get to that game

116
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: here in just a little while. Let's move on the

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: game number two of our big three here from this

118
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: week for Sunday, and that will take us uh to Baltimore,

119
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: where the Ravens and Bills locked up in a game

120
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: that featured you know something, Clement Weather and the Ravens

121
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: jumping all over the Bills from the start, Josh Allen

122
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: towards an interception on his second pass attempt, and the

123
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Ravens are off and running, building a seventeen point lead Bucky,

124
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: which has kind of been the magic number for Josh

125
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: Allen and his career. Never before had he led his

126
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: team to come back and win in a game in

127
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: which they were down by seventeen points. Owen seven in

128
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: those situations coming into this game, and they figured it

129
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: out seventeen point comeback into the second half. They hadn't

130
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: done that. They had made up that kind of deficit

131
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: since Ryan Fitzpatrick was taken snaps at quarterback for the

132
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: Bills and did it in consecutive weeks Week two and

133
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 1: three back in two thousand and eleven. So um again,

134
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: this was a great battle between two great quarterbacks and

135
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Lamar was really on again

136
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: in the first half, thought he was a little bit

137
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: out of sink in the second half, which allowed to

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: be Bills an opportunity to make that come back. And

139
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: then you got to get into some of the coaching situations,

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: and we are going to get into the mechanics of

141
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: that let them score situation right at the very end.

142
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: But first, let me get your take on what kind

143
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: of transpired to allow the Bills back into the game

144
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: and kind of saw the Ravens get out of sink

145
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: in the second half. Yeah, for the second time this

146
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: season we've seen the Baltimore Ravens squander a big lead. Uh,

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: they did against the Miami Dolphins, have a twenty point

148
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: quarter that they allowed to the Miami Dolphers to win

149
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: that game. And then you come and you look up

150
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: and you see that this team has a seventeen point cushion,

151
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: but they're not able to finish the deal. And so

152
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: when I look at the Baltimore Ravens, there are a

153
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 1: couple of things that stand out. Defensively, they're not getting

154
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: it done when it comes to the stops. This is

155
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: a team that has never necessarily invested and pass rushers,

156
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: but they try and do it through scheme when it's

157
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: comebacks are not necessarily getting them home consistently. And then

158
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: in the back end, the cover still isn't meshing with

159
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: what they want to do. And so maybe they can

160
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: fix that part of it. But offensively, that's really where

161
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm worried. I'm worried because they run out to these

162
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: fast stars, but then they kind of put the ball

163
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: into the freezer and they're not able to finish the game.

164
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: And so Greg Roman, R. Jackson, these other guys, they

165
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: gotta figure out a way to finish games. Can they

166
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: go back and recycle some of those places they using

167
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: the first half? Uh? What adjustmente are they needing to

168
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: make in the second half. It's a problem that they

169
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: have to fix because you can't keep running out and

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: scoring all your points in the first half but not

171
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: helping your defense out at all in the second half.

172
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: It's a recipe for disaster. Yeah, the Bills find a

173
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: way to get to Lamar a bit more and to

174
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: pressure him into Samarin throws in the second half. He's

175
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: been so good against the Blitz all season long, and

176
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: was again in the first half. But then in the

177
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: second half. I thought the Bills found a way to

178
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: kind of manufacture some pressure to get Lamar off, offer

179
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: them a bit off the sponsor, and that was, you know,

180
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: one of the things that allowed the Ravens back into

181
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: the Good news for the Ravens. JK. Dobbins is building

182
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: right at a couple of touchdowns in the first half,

183
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: that helped them build their lead. And he didn't see

184
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: him though, really at all in the fourth quarter as

185
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: the rain started coming down. You just gotta wonder if

186
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: they were trying to take care of them a little

187
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: bit still coming back from that knee injury. But good

188
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: news is he was a much bigger part of the

189
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: game plan and I imagine will be as it continues,

190
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: and especially once they get Ronnie Stanley at left backle

191
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: back in to the lineup was inactive again in this game.

192
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's go down to the very end, HI

193
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: ball under two minutes to play, one fifty to go

194
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: in fact, and the Bills have driven all the way

195
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: down to the Ravens eleven yard line. Ravens have just

196
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: one time out. Okay, it's first inten from the eleven.

197
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: You do with John Harpay, You're like, all right, look,

198
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: knock up. Be able to stop the clock? Uh except

199
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: for once? Right, So now we're in a position where

200
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have an opportunity to kill clock a field

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: goal and win the football game. So why don't we

202
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: let them score? Which is what it was looking like

203
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: they were all everybody on defense was ready to do.

204
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: On that first down run and hand off the Devin

205
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Singletary except for a Dafe oh Way who at about

206
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the three yard line comes screaming in and tackle Singletary,

207
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: which then allows the Bills the rue clock, get a

208
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: first down right inside the one and then eventually, Uh

209
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: take a couple of knees, run all the clock and

210
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: let Tyler Bass kick the game winner. So, Bucky, what

211
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: goes into that message right from the sideline to the

212
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: huddle to the execution of let's figure out a way

213
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: to let them score so we can get the ball

214
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: back into the hands of our offense. The number one

215
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: thing it has to be clearly communicated to everybody if

216
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: you want to let them score, because it runs counter

217
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: to the way that you're wired. You're wired to a

218
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: as long as we gotta play, we have a chance,

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: run to the ball, finish at the ball, make tac

220
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: let's do all the things to give yourself another opportunity

221
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: to line up and play defense. And so when you're

222
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: singing that kind of call, then it has to be

223
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: really relayed so everyone understands we want them to score

224
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: so we can get the ball back like A let

225
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: them get in, help them get into the end zone.

226
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: So we can get the ball back, but time is

227
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: our enemy. We don't want them to eat up the

228
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: time because it won't help us bring ourselves back to

229
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: have a maybe an overtime situation if we're able to

230
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 1: get the ball down the field. So it's one of

231
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: those things, Oh wait, has to listen, has to understand,

232
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: and the coaches may need to go through that in

233
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: practice before you get to game day. Maybe you need

234
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: to go through those mechanics sometimes in the week of practice,

235
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: do intreates preseason. So did your guys know exactly what

236
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: you want when you say, hey, hit the dirt. Yeah,

237
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: it felt like a messaging issue there because Marcus Peters

238
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: was livid. I don't know you saw that at the

239
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: end of the game on your way back for Phil,

240
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean like he was. He was not having it,

241
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and was letting Hardbaugh have it, screaming the

242
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: sidelight was. It was a whole theatrical issue there, But

243
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: you get it. He's an emotional player. He wants to win,

244
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: he wants the opportunity to win, and clearly with one

245
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: guy not getting a message, that was very frustrating. All right,

246
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: let's move our message on here to game number three

247
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: of the Big Three, And that will take us back

248
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: to the site of Super Bowl fifty five where we

249
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: had a rematch in Tampa Raymond James Stadium where the

250
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Bucks were hosting the Chiefs. So let's think about us, right,

251
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: Chiefs at a loss last week where they didn't play

252
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: particularly well on the offensive line, Patrick Mahomes was hanging

253
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: onto the football quite a bit. Man. Did that script

254
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: really flip here, Bucky in this game, especially with a

255
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: heightened sense of awareness of where you are and who

256
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: you were playing and what it was like the last

257
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: time you got together right where you know the Bucks

258
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: pressure Patrick Mahomes of the time. He was a little

259
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: banged up with the toe in that Super Bowl victory

260
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: in which the Bucks won one to nine, and and

261
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: then in this one. Now you've got a completely revamped

262
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: offensive line from two years from the matchup two years ago,

263
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: and the short passing game, Bucky for Patrick Mahomes was unstoppable.

264
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: He was three touchdowns over a hundred and fifty yards

265
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: on passes that traveled less than ten yards in the air.

266
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey was a menace and then a healthy Mahomes,

267
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the magician getting out of sacks

268
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: and getting the ball off and keeping plays alive. I

269
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: mean when he is on like that, that's difficult to stop. Yeah,

270
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: this is the version of Mahomes that I think the

271
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: league should be scared about. Is the very stion that

272
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: I anticipated may be coming when you take Tyreek Hill

273
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: out of the equation. When you remove Tyrek Hill from

274
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: this offense, what it forces the offense to do is

275
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: to play half court basketball. Pat Mahomes had always struggled

276
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: playing half court basketball because he likes to get on

277
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: the fast break, like to throw the big ball down

278
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: the field, have those things. But if he can never

279
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: love to play connect the Dots football, much like Drew

280
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: Brees and Tom Brady were able to do later in

281
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: their careers, this would make him a very dangerous and

282
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: maybe an unstoppable force from the pocket. And what we're

283
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: seeing is he's evolving into that kind of player. And so, yeah,

284
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: you have Juju Smith, Schuster and Marquess Velis Scantling and

285
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: some of the other players that they have on the perimeter.

286
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: But as Andy Reid is reshaping this offense to be

287
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: a little more dink and dunk, a little more move

288
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: the chains consistently as opposed to play for the big play.

289
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: It is enabling this young quarterback to utilize different weapons,

290
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: different parts of his game. Uh, go to different tools

291
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: in the arsenal. And as he gets that, that's when

292
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: he becomes a scary figure because now what are you

293
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: gonna do? Take away to D ball? Cool, I'll carve

294
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: you up on short stuff. Carve you up on short stuff.

295
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: Now you open up D ball. It really makes him

296
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: a very very tough defend I think defense coordinators do

297
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: not like seeing this version of Pat Mahomes show up. Yeah,

298
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it was just every time they

299
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: needed a completion, aside from a bad interception late in

300
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: the game that kind of gave the Bucks a little

301
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: bit of life. I mean, they were just picking the

302
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Bucks apart. And look, let's think about this in the perspective,

303
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: and this is one of the best defenses in football

304
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: in Tampa. In fact, Patrick Mahomes ahead of the game,

305
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: and if you're listening to the broadcast, told him list

306
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: of stark. He believes that this is the best defense

307
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: in all of football. And they go out and put

308
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: forty one on for the for the Chiefs. But it

309
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: never felt that close, right, this was just felt like

310
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: a three score game almost the entire time, as the

311
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: Bucks were constantly fighting from behind, really from the jump

312
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: after that very first turnover that allowed the Chiefs to

313
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: score right away with Travis Kelsey. So from a Buck's perspective,

314
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: you get the offensive primary pieces back, Mike Evans his

315
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: impact obviously a huge couple of touchdowns. Godwin was back

316
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: with a little banged ut. Puleo Jones, I think it's

317
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: just kind of kind of be in some constant state

318
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: of being less than a percent um are you? Are

319
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: you a little bit more concerned about where Tampa is

320
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: offensively or where they are defensively Now after getting lit

321
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: up by the Chiefs, I'm really worried about where they

322
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: are offensively. Defensively, they have those games you can't see.

323
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: The Chiefs can explode on anybody, So I'm not necessarily

324
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: surprised to see them go over forty. But offensively, I

325
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: thought this would be a year to a Tom Brady.

326
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady with Byron left ways they figure out a

327
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: way to get the offense up and going to do

328
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: it without Bruce Arians in there, maybe as Bruce Arians

329
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: was meddling. So now I'm like, oh, that's all on

330
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: TV twil we go see it become. You know, the

331
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: high flying out offense that we saw sometimes in New

332
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: England hasn't been that, And I believe the reason it

333
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been that just because the pieces of the puzzle

334
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: don't necessarily fit like they fit in New Orleans. I'm

335
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean went like they fit in New England. You

336
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: talking about bigger receivers Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, Mike Evans,

337
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily the quick in and out of the breaks

338
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: and so some of the spread and shreds stuff that

339
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: he did so comfortably and so easily in New England

340
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: you can't necessarily do in Tampa. Because these past catchers

341
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: are great in their own right, but just not great

342
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: and running that old previous system. Yeah, and you know,

343
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: the rush, the the inability to run the football in

344
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: this game was glaring. Now you get it. They're down early,

345
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: They're down big in some cases in the first half

346
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: and even into the second half. So they basically just

347
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: abandoned it and had just six carries, ended up with

348
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: three rushing yards as a team in this game, which

349
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: is the second fewest rushing yard total Enfranchise history for

350
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: the box. Um, but I think you know when you

351
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: understand where you have to go to get this win.

352
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: It was clear that the run game was not going

353
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: to get it done, and it wasn't very effective when

354
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: they did end up handing it off, albeit however a

355
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: few times that was so um, something that they would

356
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: like to be a little bit more proficient at moving forward.

357
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: I would certainly expect for this Tampa Bay Bucks team.

358
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: You don't want Tom Brady throwing at sixty times a game.

359
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on here. When we come back

360
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: and take a quick break, and we can't do the

361
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: Elite eight without DJ so instead of the Elite eight,

362
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: when we come back, to take a look at some

363
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: statement type games from week number four and maybe some

364
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: teams or players that made statements within those games. Looking

365
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: at you, Gino Smith, looking at you, maybe Bailey Zappy.

366
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: That's all coming up here on move the stick, all right.

375
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: DJ out we're gonna hold off on the lead eight

376
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: this week, and look at some statement games from week

377
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: four instead, and some statements made buy teams and players

378
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: within those games. Let's start with the Seahawks Allions from Detroit,

379
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: and I think just one of the obvious statements that

380
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: we've kind of noticed during the Dan Campbell tenure is

381
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: the Lions refused to go away quietly. I don't care

382
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: how much they're down. You cannot let up on that team.

383
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: And the Lions fought till the bitter end in this

384
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: one three points total scored, highest scoring game of the

385
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: season thus far, by far, So Bucky, as you look

386
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: at the Seahawks win here, what stands out to you

387
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: in terms of a statement made? Oh, Dino Gino Dio

388
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: Gino Gino Gino, Gino Smith is everything that the Seattle

389
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Shoaks have wanted in a franchise quarterback. Evidently, Geno Smith

390
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: is playing lights out like he leads the National Football

391
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: League and completion percentage the rate of seventy seven point three.

392
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: That is bananas. They think about Gino Smith being a

393
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: journaman player to at that high level. Passer rating is

394
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: at one oh eight, and the most important part is

395
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: he has been a terrific manager within this offense. And

396
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: as Pete Carroll wants to rebuild this version of the Seahawks,

397
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: he wants to kind of go back in time, run

398
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: the ball, play action quarterback takes care of it. The

399
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: deepense eventually steps up and get some stops. You're looking

400
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: at the Seattle Shaks right now at two and two.

401
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: I think they are very pleased with the work that

402
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: they're getting from Gino Smith. He's exceeded expectations as a quarterback. Yeah,

403
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean the offense just works right now with him

404
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: running the show. And I think you gotta give a

405
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: lot of credit to the run game too for that.

406
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Rashan Penny was huge down the stretch in this game.

407
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: It was kind of limited in terms of production from

408
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: the ground through the first couple of quarters in them

409
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: man in the in the second half, those two explosive

410
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: play rushing touchdowns just kept putting the Lions at Bay,

411
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: just kept like keeping them within arms distance of coming

412
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: away with the with the win in this game. UM.

413
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: And then on the flip side, you know I mentioned

414
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: at the top there with the Lions and their comeback,

415
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: UM and their ability to kind of stay in games.

416
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: A lot of credit to that team for that because

417
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: they were without a monro St Brown, their best their

418
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: best receiver d J. Chark was out as well, DeAndre

419
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Swift was out. He saw Jamal Williams step up. But

420
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that you can take away

421
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: is a positive is they found a way to utilize

422
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson, you know, as a top ten pick

423
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and a tight end a couple of years ago, like

424
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: you just you were waiting, like when are we going

425
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: to get the big game consistently from Hockey has had

426
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: some big ones in his career, but just not on

427
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: a consistent basis. He goes eight catches, one seventy nine

428
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. I think that's a statement made for

429
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: the Lions to say, hey, we've got quite a few

430
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: targets here. We've got quite a few different ways to

431
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: beat you when we were at full strength. So between

432
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: that two headed monster in the backfield, Swift and Williams

433
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: and then with st Brown from the white out spot

434
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: and now Hockinson getting into the action in the past game,

435
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: I think the Lions have a real opportunity to continue

436
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: to put points on the board down a consistent basis.

437
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: So that was just a couple of statements from that game,

438
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: which was a ton of fun to watch, especially down

439
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: the stretch. Let's move on to the game that you

440
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: were at here, Bucky, the Jags and Eagles man the

441
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson returned game the reunion there as the former

442
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: Eagles coach led them to a super Bowl obviously and

443
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: now coaching the Jags. He had his Jaguars off to

444
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: a fourteen nothing start to this game, Bucky, and I

445
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: was thinking, all right, Buck's gonna come in here, happy

446
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: in the morning, off the broadcast and ready to rock

447
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: and roll. But man, the Eagles just proved that they

448
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: are too much to handle. Yeah, too much handle. And

449
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: this is what I'll say, haven't watched it from a

450
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: field level view. These are legit. Uh. They might be

451
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: the best team in football because when you watch them play,

452
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: they don't have any glaring weaknesses offensively and defensively, they

453
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: played the right way. Offensively, they can run the football.

454
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: They play with power, they're physical at the point of attack.

455
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has the buildy to really owned the

456
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and with Jalen Hurts at quarterback, it

457
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: makes you defend all the eleven guys on the field.

458
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: That allows Miles Sanders to be able to go nuts.

459
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: He had a hundred yard day, and then two guys

460
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: on the outside man Devonte Smith a j. Brown. It

461
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: just makes it really really hard to defend this team offensively.

462
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: And then Jonathan Gannon has the defense going, Yeah, the

463
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars jumped out to him. The Eagles never panic. They

464
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: walk them down by playing the way they always play,

465
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: stuck to the running game. And if you have that

466
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: kind of paces and discipline with the running game, man

467
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: just go give you a chance to kind of be

468
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: around even when things get tough for you later in

469
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: the year. One of the statements that kind of stands

470
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: out from the statuet is the turnover marching right, the

471
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: five turnovers from the Jaguars, all in some way, shape

472
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: or form, u with Trevor Lawrence handling handling the football,

473
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: the one interception, and the four fumbles, and obviously the

474
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: last one is just you know, brutal Jags get a

475
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: chance to kind of go down there and make one

476
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: last stand, and then right away he gets striped, sacked

477
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: by his son, Reddick, who was a menace in this game. Um,

478
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: where do we stand on some of those turnovers and

479
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: what was kind of going on with that part of

480
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: the game for the Jags. Yeah, that's the first time

481
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have had to do what inclement can additions. Uh,

482
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: it was wet, it was miserable, it was windy, it

483
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: was cold, it was it was so different than the

484
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: environment that they played on and so, um, it took

485
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: a while for their guys to adjust. Not only Trevor

486
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence was some of the playmakers, Christian Kurt, Marvin Jones.

487
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Everyone was struggling trying to get a field for the ball.

488
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: But that's not an excuse. In these games, you have

489
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to seize the game. It was fourteen oh,

490
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: you had an opportunity to maybe go up seventeen oh.

491
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence phone was on the fourth down turnover and

492
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: down as it goes over, Jalen Hurst leads them back

493
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: and then you're back in a dog fight. And so

494
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: I talked to some of the Jack's guys afterwards. Um,

495
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: there wasn't necessarily solace in the moral victory, but there

496
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: was a lot of like, hey, we're good enough to

497
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: beat these teams. Now we just have to make sure

498
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: that we don't mess it up for ourselves to anow

499
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: us to win the game in the end. Yeah, it's

500
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: really kind of interesting game. I mean that Eagles run game.

501
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: There's just there's they have again, so many different ways

502
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: they can attack you, really on both sides of the ball.

503
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think the Philadelphia Eagles are

504
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: sitting here, you know, after we four at least as

505
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: the best team in football and the only undefeated team

506
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: in the National Football League getting into Week five. All right,

507
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: let's move on here another statement game. Um, you know,

508
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: from a couple of different perspectives, I think up at

509
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: lambeau Field, you had the New England Patriots on the

510
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: road taken on the Packers without mac Jones. So Brian

511
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Hoyer gets the start for New England but does not

512
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: last long. And this will go into one. This will

513
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: eventually tie into one of the statements from this game.

514
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Rashan Gary comes free and levels Hoyer. He leaves with

515
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: a head injury would not return. So incomes the rookie

516
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: fourth round pick from Western Kentucky. Bailey Zappy, third string

517
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Patriots, left to play the entire game.

518
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: But Rashan Gary wasn't done being a menace in this game.

519
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: Had another sack on Zappy And this, dude, here's my

520
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: statement on that Rashan Gary is is becoming. If you know,

521
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: is already one of the best edge rushers in the game,

522
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: like top five. Um, he has had that much of

523
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: an impact for the Green Bay Packers so much sober

524
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: you're like Zadarius Smith, you don't miss really at all, um,

525
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, considering how productive he was in his first

526
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: year coming over from the Ravens, and now you're like,

527
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Rashan Gary is just an absolute stud coming off the edge. Um.

528
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: But the statement Bucky that I thought we might be

529
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: on our way towards was Bailey Zappy outshines Aaron Rodgers.

530
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: The roles kind of reversed there at the end. Look,

531
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy did a great job stepping in. And here's

532
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: why you always want your young players to be prepared.

533
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: You never know, you want snaff away from having to

534
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: go into the game and so for Bailey's happy to

535
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: be prepared to be to him for fifteen ninety nine

536
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown to show the composure that he

537
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: displayed in a very, very tough environment. Hats off to him,

538
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: Hats off to the page for getting their guys ready

539
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: to play. That's it. When I'm looking at the Green

540
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: Bay Packers team you're talking about Shan Gary, I believe

541
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: this defense and the way that they have to play

542
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: right now makes them a scarier team to deal with

543
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Yes, the offense is a little more pedestrian,

544
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: but everyone knows they have to raise their own level

545
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: of games, their own level of performance to give this

546
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: team a chance to win. So I think you see

547
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: Amberson and Gary play out of control. You're seeing some

548
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: other members of the defense play at the best level

549
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: that we've seen them play since they ended their career.

550
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: Everyone on defense understands how they gotta ratst it up

551
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: to carry the same So when that part rats is

552
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: it up, then that offense is gonna be about physicality

553
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: and toughness, and that is going to give them a

554
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: chance to go far because that is the mode of

555
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: the old Green Bay Packers back on the Lombardi days.

556
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: Run it played defense, give yourself a chance to win. Well,

557
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: that's the thing, right, It's it's on the offensive side

558
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: of the ball too, that it feels like they are

559
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: maybe a more formidable out once getting to the postseason,

560
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: when you have those aspects of the game clicking the

561
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: way they are now. I mean they rushed for almost

562
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: two hundred yards one on the day, Aaron Jones leading

563
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: away with over a hundred, a j Dillon not far behind,

564
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: and he kind of helped really put a exclamation point

565
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: on that win on that final drive in overtime leading

566
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: to the Mason Crosby game winning field goal twenty three

567
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: are uh for the Packers. So um, I feel like

568
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, like for the for the last

569
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: three years, we've been talking about, you know, Rogers to

570
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, thirteen wins each of the last three years.

571
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, one of the best regular season teams in football.

572
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: Then you get to the postseason and it just has

573
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: not that hasn't been able to be replicated, right leading

574
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: the Packers into the place where they ultimately want to be,

575
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: which is playing in the Super Bowl, um, which they

576
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: have not been able to do despite being one of

577
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: the best regular season teams in football the last three years,

578
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: so maybe this gives them an opportunity to have a

579
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: better approach and a better opportunity to get further once

580
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: we get to the postseason. All right, and you're going

581
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: to see the Green Bay Packers in Week five from

582
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Is the Packers, I believe, the last

583
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: team to get across the Pond and play in London

584
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: in a regular season game. Packers versus Giants live on

585
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network Sunday am, Eastern time, NFL Game Day kickoff.

586
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: We'll get you ready. But another great week in London

587
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: for the International series year after watching the Vikings beat

588
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: the Saints in the first international game this past week.

589
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a quick break and be

590
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: back with our standout rookies and favorite performances of Week four.

591
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: Right after this. It's that time of the program where

592
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: we get to our favorite rookie performances are standout rookies

593
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: from Week four. Obviously with one game left to go

594
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: still tonight, but from what we've seen thus far here

595
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: in Week four, Bucky Um, I'm gonna tell you I

596
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: think for the first time in the history of a

597
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: segment like this, I am going to choose a player

598
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: who threw three interceptions as the standout rookie, okay, and

599
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: in fact, it's surprised. Yeah, it surprised me, um, you

600
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: know afterwards looking at this because it did not feel

601
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: like Kenny Pickett, who was my standout rookie getting his

602
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: first action in the NFL, uh subbing in for Mitchell

603
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Robinski who was replaced in this game against the Jets,

604
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: that Kenny through three picks because the the energy was

605
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: so different when he took the field in the stadium,

606
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: within the offense, within that team get a couple of

607
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in this game was ten twenty yards. The

608
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: three picks were the only incompleency through the only non completions,

609
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: I should say, And I thought he had some really

610
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: good throws. The offense moved the ball way better when

611
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: he was in there than when Mitch Rabinsky was in there.

612
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: It felt more dynamic. U. It gave the team a

613
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: huge boost. And I went back and watched the three interceptions. Uh,

614
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: the one you just take off the ledger immediately because

615
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: it was a hail Mary at the end of the game.

616
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, I don't. I'll prefer to count those type

617
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: interceptions for quarterbacks, even though do they do go in

618
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the eventual statue. But then you had the first two

619
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: were tip ball interceptions, um and one of them, I

620
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: think both of them, you'd probably see Kenny go in

621
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: a different direction, um, you know, or different you know,

622
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: look for a different decision to make in those situations.

623
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: It was a deep ball to Chase Claypool that kind

624
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: of went off his hands and into the hands of

625
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to under. The last one is the one

626
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: that really hurt. Under four minutes to go, He's under pressure,

627
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: He's trying to get to Pat friar Muth, which which

628
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: he does. It's like an out of frame type of

629
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: catch where friar Muth goes up to get it, bounces

630
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: off his hands and then into the hands of a

631
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: Jets defender. Allowed them to come back and win that game.

632
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: Look great for the Jets, unfortunate for the Steelers. But

633
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: if I'm Pittsburgh, Bucky, is this Kenny Pickett show from

634
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: here on out? Yeah? Look, I think those debate, uh

635
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: that many of us had, and to decide that the

636
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: viewpoint that we had watching these two guys play in

637
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: the preseason, it was very apparent that the offense moved

638
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: differently when Kenny Pickett was at the helm, and so

639
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: you thought he would be the choice. Mike Tommy wanted

640
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: to go with the betterman, want to give him an opportunity,

641
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: will stay true to his word with Mr. Bisky, But

642
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: the offense wasn't moving. So now you got the rookie

643
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: in the game, and what you're trying to do is

644
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: teach the rookie have to push the envelope while also

645
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: stand within the box and the parameters of how you

646
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: want the game managed and those things. Kenny Pickett is

647
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: a bit of a gun slinger, but he man, he

648
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: has so much confidence, so much poise, so much that

649
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: other stuff that you can see why guys gravitate to

650
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: him and view him as the QB one. So now

651
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: he has an opportunity. I think if anybody has to

652
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: step up, I think the defense has to step up.

653
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: Knowing that, hey, we're starting a rookie quarterback. It's not

654
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: going to be all smooth sailing. We got to make

655
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: sure that we keep the score down so when we

656
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: do get hot, we can go up in front and

657
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: take the lead. YEP, and then who's your rookie standout.

658
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: You know, Jack Jones. They call him Jack Jack out

659
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: here Long Beach Polleague Jack Rabbit. Jack Jones, who played

660
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: at USC in Arizona State, has jumped right in for

661
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots and been a solid contributor against the Packers.

662
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Had an interception, had a force fumble, uh, did a

663
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: great job of making plays on the perimeter. And those

664
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: who have watched him since his time in high school,

665
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: he's always been a playmaker, but now he's playing with

666
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: the discipline which allows his instincts and awareness to really

667
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: show up. Good player. Man. The Patriots have found another one.

668
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: They find ways to get corners. Jack Jack appears to

669
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: be another to be in the late corner that's gonna

670
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: and played for them for a long time. Yeah, guy

671
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna overcome some you know, adverse situations in his

672
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: college career. We saw him at the East West Shrine Bowl,

673
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: and you know, again a guy that's a definite playmaker

674
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: and now playing within the discipline of that Patriots organization,

675
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: I think it has really served him well and clearly

676
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: showcasing that playmaking ability. Let's move on to our Week

677
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: four favorite performances. Overall, and for me, I'll start it

678
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: off and and I just won't take long because we

679
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: hit it at the top with Justin Jefferson. But I

680
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: think it's impossible to leave him off a list like

681
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: this from week four, even though he didn't get into

682
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: the uh, even though he didn't get into the end

683
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 1: zone in the past game, had a rushing touchdown like

684
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: he did it against a formidable corner in Marshawn Lattimore,

685
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: one of the best in the game. And he did

686
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: it to tune a Tim Catches Hunter forty seven yards

687
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: and then had the rushing touchdown. So he did it

688
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: when his team needed it the most at the very end,

689
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: to like to get down in a field goal range

690
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: for what was the go ahead field goal. UM and Jefferson,

691
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, remember, kind of made some waves earlier in

692
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: the offseason talking about how, you know, he feels like

693
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: his goal is to make is to become the best

694
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver in football this year. Well, I think he's

695
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: on his way, Adam feeling even you know, mentioned after

696
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: the games like, I don't think there's any way you

697
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: can deny that he is definitely in that realm here

698
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: at this point. Just unguardable at times. I mean like

699
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: they tried all sorts of different things to slow him down.

700
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Off coverage, press coverage, and it just he beat it

701
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: and he found ways to beat it all. And Jefferson

702
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: is just so smooth um just a real tough cover.

703
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: So there you go. He's one of my favorite favorite performances.

704
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: Bucky who you got, oh man? Like, I love that

705
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: and I love that You're just sticking out why I'm

706
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: gonna go have arb shot Penny from the Seattle Seahawks.

707
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why Rishout Penny deserves recognition

708
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: is this Seahawks team is still trying to find their identity,

709
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of back to the future approach, running the ball

710
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: early in often Rishad Penny big back, running behind those

711
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: big old pads, running between the tackles, finishing with violence,

712
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: setting the table for how the Seattle Seahawks want to play.

713
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Not gonna just as easy. He said, Hey, Gina, I'm

714
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna give you some luck because you had three or

715
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. It is one fifty. But you know,

716
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: it always starts with the ground game. It's about being physical,

717
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: it's about finding decreases. And then when you have opportunity

718
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: to finish it off the right way rashot and he

719
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: is finishing dropping a hammer folks at the end the runs.

720
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: Is one of the reasons why the Seattle Seahawks are

721
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,479
Speaker 1: optimistic about the chance of climbing back into the division race. Yeah.

722
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: I think that they've definitely got that opportunity when you

723
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: got both those things roll and we get the run

724
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: game able to kind of in a way finish out

725
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: games and close that close out opponents the way that

726
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: they did against the lines, even though the lines never

727
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: quite went away. You just kept them at arms length

728
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: with those big Rashot penny runs and then Gino is

729
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: absolutely slinging it very efficiently. Uh so far this season. Okay,

730
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: my next performance is Josh Jacobs. I don't feel like

731
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: we have considered Josh Jacobs on a list like this

732
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: in quite some time. Uh. And there was even question

733
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: this offseason whether he would be the feature back anymore

734
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Right, they dry did sa Mere White

735
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: and did have a big play in this game as well,

736
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: by the way, but Josh Jacobs this was as good

737
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: as I have seen him run in quite a while. Uh.

738
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Carries hundred forty four yards pair of rushing touchdowns. Also

739
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: caught five balls. I mean had a hundred and seventy

740
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: five total yards from scrimmage in this game. And I

741
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: mean spin moves, I mean making moves inside the You're

742
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: just seeing it right there. That was one of them

743
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: in the whole breaking tackles. Josh McDaniels was speaking very

744
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: glowingly about Jacobs's performance in this game and helped them

745
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: get their first win. Buck, Yeah, it did help them

746
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: get their first run. And I'll be honest with you,

747
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: what took so long? What took so long for the

748
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: Raiders to find this formula? This is a formula recipe

749
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: that I thought Josh Wine game was going to bring

750
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: from the Patriots. Power running says to go with some

751
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: of the spread stuff, make sure you take care of

752
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: the backs. But when you get to the latter part

753
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: of the year, when you gotta run it, when everyone

754
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: knows you gotta run it. Man played big boy football,

755
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: which is what they did, had a lot of success.

756
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: Another team just playing big boy football when it comes

757
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: to the running game, the Philadelphia Eagles. That's why Miles

758
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: Sanders is my standout performer that I want to make

759
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: sure I sit. I give love to Miles and is

760
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: just running like a madman through the heart of a

761
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense that led the league in rushing defense. Prior

762
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: to this game. The Field Eagles put up two hundred

763
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: plus rushing yards. Miles Standers had one thirty four on

764
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven carries. Two tubs did a great job of

765
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: just getting to the edges, getting downhill, making plays. And

766
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: when you're watching this team with Jalen Hurts, who's a

767
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: masterful magician when it comes to ball handling, it's a problem.

768
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: This offense is unique, is creative, is fun. It's kind

769
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: of like the Ravens offense, but with a little more

770
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: sex appeal. That's a scary thought. We can think about

771
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: all the games the Ravens have won on Lamar Jackson

772
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: and what the Philadelphia Eagles have done with Jalen Hurts

773
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: and Miles Sanders making contributions in the running game. Yeah,

774
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: a new question. And just a couple of quick notes

775
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: that have kind of come across the wire here today

776
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: in the running back landscape. Cordarol Patterson is going to

777
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: go on injured reserve for the Atlanta Falcon is gonna

778
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: have a neat procedure done, Arthur Smith making that announcement,

779
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: and then Tom Pellicero and Ian Rappaport telling us some

780
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: really unfortunate news for the Denver Broncos Javonte Williams toward

781
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: a c L L c L and some other additional

782
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: damage he has obviously done for the season. Gonna be

783
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: a long road back for Javonte Williams uh in Denver.

784
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: So that that's really unfortunate now, um, you know, especially

785
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: with the way that they have started this season on offense.

786
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: So keep our eye on how those two teams try

787
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: to regroup following those injuries. And also I want to

788
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: remind you, um that there's some people suffering in southwest

789
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: Florida right now. The NFL family has come together to

00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: we'll keep the run game theme moving with a discussion

799
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: on a team a dominant rushing performance this week and

800
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: Bucky Hum. The line of scrimmage was won by the

801
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: New York Giants in their way to their third win

802
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: of the season over the Chicago Bears over two hundred

803
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: team rushing yards two hundred and sixty two total, led

804
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: by Sae Kwon Barkley's one and forty six yard effort.

805
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: You had both your quarterbacks, Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor

806
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: when Daniel Jones had to go out, both averaging over

807
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: ten yards of pop as well. They contributed on the

808
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: ground together. Um. But this game even saw Kwon Barkley

809
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: having to step in and take some emergency snaps as

810
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: a Wildcat quarterback because both Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor

811
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: were out at one point in this game. I think

812
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: there is a chance that Daniel Jones is going to

813
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: be available for the Giants as they travel to London

814
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: this week to take on the Packers. But Man Brian

815
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: Dable is figuring out a way to win football games,

816
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: and it's by handing the ball to a rejuvenated Sae

817
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: Juan Barkley. Yeah, little man, that's what great coaches do.

818
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: Great coaches figured out they take what they have and

819
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 1: figure out the best way to play with the pieces

820
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: that were available. Both quarterbacks go out, so when they do,

821
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: they go wildcat direct snapper to Sa Kuon Barkley and

822
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: he finishes the game and then Sa Kwan Barkley. Who Look,

823
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: he's faced a lot of criticism, you know, the injuries

824
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: and those things. After a great rookie season. People wanted

825
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: would he ever be that back again? Well, yeah, he's

826
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: back hundred forty six scrimma jars, being able to really

827
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: just show the physicality and toughness to go with the

828
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: explosive breakaway ability that he's always had. But I think

829
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: one thing that he's doing in the Brian Day ball,

830
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: he's been a little more consistent in terms of avoiding

831
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: the negative runs. We used to see him. He was

832
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: more like Barry Sanders, lose a couple of games, a

833
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: couple of lose, a couple didn't have the big one.

834
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: Now he's kind of showing the ability to be a

835
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: grinder picking up the dirty yards. If the New York

836
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Jazz can continue to get this kind of work from

837
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: sae kawon Berkley. They're not the most talented team, but boy,

838
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: they could be a thorn in your side as a

839
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: team that can run it and play great defense. That

840
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: is one of those teams that can always kind of

841
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: trip you up in the end when you're trying to

842
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: make that run to the postseason near the end of

843
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: the year, No doubt. All right, that's gonna do it.

844
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: For our NFL takeaways following this week for Sunday, looking

845
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: ahead the Monday Night football, I got an NFC NFC

846
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: West matchup tonight between the Rams and the Niners. Now,

847
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: you guys will get to that throughout the rest of

848
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: the week when DJ returns um. But let's get into

849
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: some college football takeaways, and it turns out that we're

850
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: both had our eyes fixed on one of the most

851
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: impactful games when all said, when all was said and

852
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: done of this college football season. That was Illinois and Wisconsin.

853
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: He had the return of Brett Bielama going back to

854
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: Wisconsin as the head coach of Illinois, and then he

855
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: ends up, you know, by a dominant effort beating Wisconsin

856
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: in Madison, forcing the out stir of the guy who

857
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: was his replacement at Wisconsin and Paul Chris like, the

858
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: symmetry of this whole thing is like mind boggling. Before

859
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: we get to that, because I know you're gonna talk

860
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: about it, let me get to my takeaway from this

861
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: game and from this college football week is the defensive

862
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: coordinator for Illinois, Ryan Walters is, if he's not already uh,

863
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: going to be one of the hottest Power five coaching

864
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: candidates out there. Let me just give you a couple

865
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: of notes on what his defense did against one of

866
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: the toughest rushing attacks in all of college football. Um.

867
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: They allowed to rushing yards two at a pair of

868
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: interceptions in the third quarter. They allowed ten yards total,

869
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: zero completions allowed in the passing game, zero first downs allowed,

870
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: and they held Wisconsin to just four or four third

871
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: down conversions in the entire game. Um. Ryan Walters also

872
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: engineered a a three point effort against Virginia and one

873
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in college football, Brennan Armstrong. They

874
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: shut out the ut mocks you teach at Nooga mox

875
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: a week ago, and now go into Madison and shut

876
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: down the Wisconsin Badgers attack. Um, he's gonna be a

877
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: head coach here, really, soon, and that kind of gets

878
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: us to the point that I know you're gonna make

879
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: about Wisconsin and a little bit of a fall from

880
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: grace here for Paul Crest. Yeah, really surprising. And now

881
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: I want to give credit to Britt Bilma. The job

882
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: he's done in Illinois very quickly after a little bit

883
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: of the controversy is surprising. Like Illinois is up. They're

884
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: playing big boy football, their physical and I will say

885
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: this about Bilma. He knows how to win in the

886
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: Big Ten and so he's back in his comfort zone

887
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: and he's doing what he's always done. Uh to me, Wisconsin,

888
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: I'm kind of baffled that Paul Chris was let go

889
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: because when I look at the Wisconsin Badgers program, they

890
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: have always been the team that is right on the

891
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: verge of competing for the title. Look, man, that's hard

892
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: to compete with Ohio State and kind of saying some

893
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: of those other teams at the top, But they've been

894
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: right there. They've been able to go to Rolls Bowls

895
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: and win a ton of games under him, and you

896
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: understood they were backsliding a little bit, but last year

897
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: they won nine games, and so for him to be

898
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: let go, I just wonder what is really going on,

899
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: And I like Jim Linnet. I think Jim Lennon has

900
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be a great hit coach, and I

901
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: think maybe he's next in line. But man to get

902
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: rid of a coach who was very, very successful at

903
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: his alma mater. I just think Paul Christians are better. Hey,

904
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm halfway surprised they didn't just say,

905
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: all right, Jim Leonard is the next head coach of

906
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Badgers. I mean, I know he's got the

907
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: interim title, but like he has established himself as one

908
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: of the best defensive coordinators in all of college football

909
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: as well. Um, I mean, I know he's been talked

910
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: about as a candidate for the Nebraska job. So if

911
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm Wisconsin, I'm like, I feel like I got the

912
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: next guy sitting right here. Let's go get Jim Leonard.

913
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: Let's see him put a more dynamic twist on just

914
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: how this program is maybe perceived and how they operate

915
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: moving forward, because that was one of the things that

916
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: just felt Wisconsin felt a little stagnant, even though you know,

917
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to get tired winning nine ten games a year,

918
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: which is what it's like Paul Christina has done It's tired.

919
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: You mean, it's so funny because like it's funny that

920
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: they get uh tired and they wanted more sililar because

921
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: I felt like the b in Wisconsin, I feel like

922
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: they were one of the few football programs who knew

923
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: exactly what they were. I mean, going back to the

924
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: very Alvarez days, you knew exactly what you were dealing with.

925
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: When Wisconsin played big, physical team, offensive line, They're gonna

926
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: run it. Actually, they always gonna have a back or

927
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: two that can come downhill. I think their creativity was

928
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: in the way they dominated you up front in the

929
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: ground game, and they also did a good job of

930
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: producing pros. And so we'll see, um if it's different,

931
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: I just certainly hope they stick to the recipe that

932
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: has been very very successful for this team over the

933
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: last thirty years, you know, And it does it does

934
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: feel a little bit similar to me. Um, Like, think

935
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: back to the Frank Solich days in Nebraska, right when

936
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: he was winning nine in ten games a year and

937
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: they let him go and and man, would they have

938
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: killed for that kind of production over the course of

939
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: the last decade. Is that program, uh this past week, notwithstanding,

940
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: has taken a real downturn. So UM and looking for

941
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: a new head coach of their own. All right, that's

942
