Speaker 4: I'm good. Good to be back, especially after a win.

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: It was a tough three weeks before we finally got

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 4: that one last week.

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 5: But that was a good win. I'm excited about this

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 5: next game.

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: That's why he left, because he said, I got to

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: switch something up. We're losing. So you know why I left.

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 4: I had had the wedding thing from my son. That

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 4: was a good time. Yeah, it's really really special, good good.

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: Memories, good stuff. Congratulations, man, that's gotta be awesome. All right, man,

22
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: let's talk about these Seahawks. Man.

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: It's as you guys know you got the win last

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: week and some messages might have been sent to the

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: locker room this week, Moyer, Jerome Baker is no longer

26
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: with the team.

27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: They moved him over to Tennessee.

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm in return, you get a young man by the

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: name of Ernest Jones, the fourth. I remember him when

30
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: he was with the Los Angeles Rams, and he was

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: a ballplayer. And as soon as the tray goes down,

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: we do what we do. We're watching film. We're trying

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: to figure out who he is as a player and

34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: what the Seahaws got in return.

35
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: So when you flip that film, I love well.

36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Let me back up. First, what did you think of

37
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: the trade initially? And then what did you what you

38
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: see when you put the film on.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 4: I was at work. My son kept trying to call me.

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: I go, ah, something's up. That's just I think of

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: a Seahawks fan he is, And then I see the text.

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 4: At first I was like, wow, I can't believe we

43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: made a trade. And I was like you, I mean

44
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: Ernest Jones when he was with the Rams. I thought

45
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: he was a problem for the Seahawks. Yeah, you know,

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: he was a playmaker, a more traditional inside linebacker, tough,

47
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: good physical guy.

48
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: Strong. Even though he weighs they say they weigh.

49
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: The same Heimn Baker, they don't look the same size.

50
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: You know, Ernest Jones looks like he's he's well built,

51
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: he could take on guards.

52
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: He's got really.

53
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 4: Good push extension with his hands, good anticipation. I think

54
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: that's one thing we all talked about, you, Nasa and

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: I when we were over hanging out at Earl's earlier,

56
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 4: which we talked about. It's just how impressed his instincts are,

57
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: how quick he reads things and how he attacks the gap.

58
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: So look, they're not messing around two weeks in a row,

59
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: big trades. You know, you get Robertson Harris last week.

60
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: That's gonna be a huge upgrade for us, particularly you

61
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: know the way we rotate our defensive line. And then

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: Ernest Jones paired with Dotson. I think this is going

63
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: to help Dotson two because when you had Dotson and Baker,

64
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: two undersized linebackers. Man, it's just it's hard to have

65
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: two of them. You know, you need one guy who

66
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: can really take care of the run. And you're gonna

67
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: like Ernest Jones. He's young, you know, he's twenty five

68
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: years old. He's physical, he has good instincts. He can

69
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: cover as well. It's not probably as fast as Baker,

70
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: but I think you're gonna like what we get from him.

71
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I love it. When I watched the film,

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: I saw all the things as you saw. He is

73
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: stepping downhill, taking on guards and delivering a pop. He's

74
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: not always trying to avoid. There are times in a

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: place where you can't avoid. His instincts are good. Just

76
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, I'm excited. I think this lets everybody

77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: know on this roster that if you don't do your job,

78
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: this is a performance based business, or if we don't

79
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: feel like you're doing your job, we have to do

80
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: things to make this team better.

81
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: The week before they bring in.

82
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: Roy Robinson Harris and I watched him on that defensive

83
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: line and it just seems like the box is getting

84
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: more physical. And when the box is physical, it's gonna

85
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: help everything else on the back end. More interceptions, more

86
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: mistakes by the quarterback. So I think this is essential

87
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: to building a defense, especially a week where you got

88
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: to see Josh Allen, who hasn't turned the football over

89
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: now in the air. At least he does have a fumble,

90
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, just get more physical in the box.

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: I like that identity.

92
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he saw it last week that, you know,

93
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: just having robertson Harris as well, the way the pocket collapsed,

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: keeping guys fresh. It was consistent pressure that we put

95
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 4: on Cousins and we talked about so if you can

96
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: keep him pressure, got pressure. He doesn't take a lot

97
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: of sacks. He's going to throw a couple to us.

98
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 5: And he did. So that's big.

99
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 4: And I think that was a message too, is that, hey,

100
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: if you guys aren't consistent, we're going to go find

101
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: people who are. So I think I think it also

102
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: gives you know, let's fast forward to this week. It's

103
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: not a Baker. I thought, jerown Baker. He is a

104
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: good football player. He can run, he can make plays,

105
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: but the inconsistencies and they weren't changing the amount of

106
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 4: times he was running underneath blocks at times just just waiting.

107
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he just wasn't reading. I think his lack

108
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 4: of confidence. I think he lost his confidence somewhere along

109
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: the way. And when you're an undersized person, an undersized linebacker,

110
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 4: you've got to beat the guards and centers to your gap.

111
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: You have to force them quickly off that double team,

112
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: because if you do that, then our defensive lineman can

113
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: make the play. If our defensive linemen are holding their ground,

114
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: you're in the gap quick. If you're late to it,

115
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: there's nowhere to go. I mean he couldn't see over

116
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: the guards and now you're hooked as well, and so

117
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: there's no way to even work over the top. And

118
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 4: so what do they do? You get lazy go I

119
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: think I'm quick enough. I can go underneath this block

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: and maybe get back into my lane. It's so hard

121
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: to do in the NFL. So I think what you

122
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: now have for coach McDonald is I think he has

123
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: all the pieces.

124
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: He's got all the.

125
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: Pieces on the defensive line we have that can rotate

126
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: what you want to do to keep a line for us.

127
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: You've got edge rushers that are young and good. You

128
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 4: have now two linebackers who can run, and one of

129
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 4: them's a more traditional downhill, really instinctive player against the run.

130
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 5: We had to have one of those.

131
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 4: We have that now, and then in the secondary we're

132
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: going to have job on later too. We've got competition

133
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: in the secondary corner that's unbelievad it's probably them with

134
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: deepest corners we've ever had, yep so and in safeties

135
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant coming in to play phenomenal. You got all

136
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: the pieces to call whatever you want, have any type

137
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: of matchup with personnel.

138
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: All the names you mentioned create a good problem to have,

139
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: which is who are you going to play right? Who

140
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: am I going to trust the most to go out

141
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: there and do a job. Let's go back to last

142
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: week in Atlanta. I think that was fun to watch.

143
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: It was we go into that game knowing that there

144
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: are a couple of things that the Atlanta FL Cans

145
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: do well. Kirk Cousin coming off a couple of weeks

146
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: ago throwing for five hundred yards? What's this pass defense

147
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: going to look like? You have Bejean Robinson in the backfield.

148
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: You also have Tyler Izier who got knocked out of

149
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: that game. Are you going to be able to stop

150
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: the run? Will this game travel down south and show

151
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: us something that the Hawks haven't been consistent doing, which

152
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: is stopping the run and then getting after the quarterback.

153
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: It felt good to see these guys execute and calls

154
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: these turnovers.

155
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: I think you told me.

156
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: The stat what you had one week where you had

157
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: a turnover. You had another week where you have a

158
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: fumble return four touchdown, but there was a span where

159
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: turnovers just weren't happening and the Hawks were turning the

160
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: ball over. It was nice to see this defense create

161
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: those takeaways and get that w.

162
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had had four turnovers going into the game

163
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: last week, and we had three of them in one game.

164
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 5: And if you really look at that.

165
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: Game, the game, it was similar on both sides, you know,

166
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't like we just stone cold stopped

167
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: at Land of the whole time. You know, they were

168
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: getting thirty forty yards in a drive. But you get

169
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: those two three big turnovers, three of them one for

170
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: a touchdown. It's just a game changer. And special teams.

171
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: I thought we won the special team. We kick a

172
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: fifty nine yard field goal. They missed a fifty yard

173
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: field goal or punter. I mean, I think every time

174
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: he pinned them inside the twenty. So, you know, special

175
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: teams matter, turnovers matter, We know the formula.

176
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 5: We hadn't been doing that.

177
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: And then on top of that, the amount of big

178
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: plays where we were getting all fixable things, you know,

179
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: stop running underneath block, their first touchdown, their very first

180
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: touchdown that Robinson, we run underneath the block, the plays away.

181
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 5: It's like, and I think this whole thing.

182
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: Coach McDonald and Schneider and all of them said, hey,

183
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: we've got pretty good team.

184
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 5: We got good players.

185
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: If you're not going to list, if you're not going

186
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: to get this done, we're gonna go find somebody who can.

187
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: There's competition out there.

188
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: We're gonna have Josh job as I mentioned, he's from Alabama.

189
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: The great Nick Saban said, make me force me, find

190
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: me a reason to play you. Coaches don't play guys

191
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: who aren't the best. So I think again, I think

192
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: we're a better team today and when we go into

193
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: Buffalo than we were a we could go in certainly

194
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: two weeks ago.

195
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Once again, Gino plays a solid football game, scores our throws,

196
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, two hundred and seven yards, and when you

197
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: look at the stat sheet, it's not gonna overwhelm you.

198
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 2: You're not gonna say, oh, Gino must have had a

199
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: good game. But when you watch him work in that pocket,

200
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: you watch him operate in tight spaces, you appreciate what

201
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: he's doing for this offense.

202
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: Forty seven percent of his passes last week he was hurried.

203
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: All right.

204
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: That was the third most in the NFL this year.

205
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: I mean that's a big number, and you know it

206
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 4: doesn't always mean it's sacks. Just me's just got to

207
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: hurry up. The way he worked in the pocket. I'll

208
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: close it with this. Go watch the last play before

209
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: the half, with ten seconds left. He completed it with

210
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 4: four seconds left. What he did, just the way he

211
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: stepped up. That ball carried forty one yards in the air,

212
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: forty one bullet dime, great read, no timeouts, the decision making.

213
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think Gino argued with people on Twitter,

214
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: he's playing as well as any quarterback in the league,

215
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: particularly way he's working in the pocket.

216
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree one hundred percent.

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: Gino leading the charge in this defense is getting healthy.

218
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: All right, man, one segment down, We are just getting going.

219
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: We'll be coming back. We'll get an opponent preview from Salcobaci,

00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: how are we doing?

230
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 6: Pretty good?

231
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: Guys?

232
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 7: How are you good?

233
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: We're doing good, man, Thanks for joining us East Coast time.

234
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: You're about to go to sleep?

235
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 8: Man?

236
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 3: What's the what's your night looking, Mike?

237
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 6: Yeah? Actually I did a podcast earlier tonight and trying

238
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 6: to watch my Syracuse Warren, but they are getting completely

239
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: demolished by tonight, so that didn't go so well. So

240
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 6: now I'm just watching the Thursday night game.

241
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: What's the status on that Thursday night game?

242
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 6: Seventeen fourteen? I think the score is right now as

243
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 6: I just up and on with you guys. Pretty good

244
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 6: game actually between the Rams and the Vikings. Obviously Rams

245
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 6: getting a little bit healthier, getting some guys back, but

246
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 6: the Vikings lost to Christian darisaw their outstanding line, doun.

247
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 4: Sal. Just looking at the schedule, I mean, Buffalo's good,

248
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: they're five and two, But then I looked at the

249
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: schedule and they really don't have a good signature win.

250
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 4: I mean it beat Arizona early and in Miami Jacksonville

251
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 4: and then you know the jetson Tennessee. Where do you

252
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: think this team is though right now in your opinion, Well,

253
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: you can.

254
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 6: Only play who's on your schedule, right I mean, like

255
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 6: there's only opportunities to get those signature wins that they present.

256
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 6: And they did have a chance in Houston, and you know,

257
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: obviously that game didn't go their way and they got

258
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 6: beaten pre handley at the Baltimore Ravens. But you know,

259
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 6: I think there's still a team that's in the top

260
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 6: eight in both I think they're third best in the

261
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 6: league in points four eight best in the league and

262
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 6: points against. And they still have an elite quarterback Josh Allen.

263
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 6: He's one of the best in the league. He's the

264
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 6: only quarterback in the NFL. Is you have to throw

265
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 6: an interception yet this season, believe it or not, considering

266
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 6: you know what people generally think about him. You know,

267
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 6: they're still a very very well coached team on the

268
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 6: defensive side of the ball. I guess they lost some

269
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 6: players last year, but the system really works for them.

270
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 6: They've had some struggles hot and cold at times offensively,

271
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 6: but I think, you know, with the addition of Amari

272
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: Cooper last week? Who really saw them? You know, they

273
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 6: were down ten nothing, that scored thirty four straight unanswered points.

274
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: What's your what's your perspective on Josh Allen? I appreciate

275
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: that he is being more responsible with the football, right, eighteen.

276
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: Turnovers last year.

277
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: Do you feel like he's losing some of that big

278
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: play that he had when he was taking more risk

279
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: or do you feel like this style of play is

280
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: conducive to these guys winning the division and making a

281
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: run again.

282
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean, well, you know, they won four straight

283
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 6: division titles, and you know, I think along the way,

284
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 6: you know, Josh's had times where he's had to tie

285
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 6: to dial it back a little bit. I think last

286
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 6: year was one of those years. Actually there was less

287
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 6: big plays that were baked in there, and when they tried,

288
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 6: they missed on some outfield. You know, I don't know,

289
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 6: you know, I don't know Josh is necessarily being conservative

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 6: necessari this year. I think he's making good decisions.

291
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 7: With the football.

292
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 6: One thing, he's a he's running a little bit less.

293
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 6: That started after he hurt his hand, his left hand,

294
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 6: and you know, Week one against the Ears and the

295
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 6: Cardinals that's certainly happening. But you know, this is what

296
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 6: we call the Josh Allen experience. Look, we will all

297
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 6: take the higher turnovers er interceptions because if you don't,

298
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 6: you're not going to get the incredible plays that come

299
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 6: along with it. And that's what makes Josh Allen special.

300
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 6: He's one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. He

301
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 6: has been for a while. He's been an MVP candidate

302
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 6: every single year, you know, for the last four or five.

303
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 6: And the reason is because he makes those incredible plays

304
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 6: and he can do so much. But with that, he's

305
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 6: going to take some shots. He's got a little bit

306
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 6: of bread parving him. So I always say guys like, hey,

307
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 6: if you if you you want to take those things

308
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 6: away from Josh, then you're actually taking away what makes

309
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 6: them special.

310
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I think it's it's been impressive this year

311
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: to watch joshin you know, I'm just curious that you

312
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 4: know that Stefan digs part of that.

313
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 5: Maybe it's look, you.

314
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: Got twelve touchdowns, no interceptions. He's only taken nine sacks,

315
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: so he's not taking sacks and he's still not forcing

316
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: the ball downfield. It's just not having Stefan Diggs era.

317
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: Do you feel like he says, I'm going to take

318
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: what the defense gives you.

319
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

320
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 6: I think it was really it's seven Nicks and Gabe Davis, right.

321
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 6: I mean like they had a big transition at wide receiver,

322
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 6: you know, and I think that going into the year,

323
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 6: they really felt that they had enough there and they

324
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 6: have an elite quarterback and they can kind of get

325
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 6: by well. As the season's gone on, one thing we

326
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 6: noticed was, you know, a lot of teams are just

327
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 6: playing the Bills a lot more manned man because they

328
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 6: didn't have separators. They have good receivers, just not separators.

329
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 6: Klos Shakira underneath Salton Kinkaid in the middle of the field.

330
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 6: That was great, but they just were not getting guys

331
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 6: open enough where Josh could really take those shots and

332
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 6: you know, felt comfortable. Well, that's why they traded for

333
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 6: Amari Cooper last week. He comes right in, He makes

334
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 6: a big impact in week number one. He's gonna have

335
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 6: an expanded role against this week, and I think that's

336
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 6: really going to start to open up the offense a

337
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 6: little bit. But you know the other part is I

338
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 6: think the Bills have kind of wanted to go to

339
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 6: this model a little bit of you know, their manentre

340
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 6: as everybody eats, right, because the last couple of years,

341
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 6: Stefan Diggs has eaten up so many targets and he's

342
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: a great receiver. There's no doubt you want to throw

343
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 6: in the football. But I think there's also comes a

344
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 6: lot of pressure with having to kind of feed a

345
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 6: guy like that. And the Bills they've they really operated

346
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 6: with more of a loose offense and it kind of

347
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 6: doesn't matter where they go, and you have to kind

348
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 6: of defend the whole field on them. And that includes

349
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 6: the running game, which obviously has been very good for

350
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 6: the most part this year as well, with a pair

351
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 6: of very good backs James Cook, who was you know

352
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 6: for the first year and a half of his career

353
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: and now is again, and now Ray Davis who's been

354
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 6: in the mixtus that I have done an excellent job.

355
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: Hey, when you when you look at this team on paper, right,

356
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: you look at their overall ranking on offense, overall ranking

357
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: on defense, how they run the ball, how they defend

358
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: the rem you can get convinced that they're just an

359
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: okay team. But the numbers that stick out to me

360
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: the most are the points that they score and the

361
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: points that are allowed.

362
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: Like, make that make sense to me? How are they they?

363
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: They seem to be mediocre everywhere else, but when it

364
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: comes to scoring, they excel at that.

365
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 6: Because they concentrate on with most important and that's keeping

366
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 6: team out of the end zone. They have a very

367
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 6: very good red zone defense, the ranked sixth in the NFL.

368
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 6: Their bend but don't break defense. I mean last week

369
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 6: against the Tennessee Titans, for sample, they were getting out

370
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: gained at halftime two hundred and seventeen to ninety and

371
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 6: they were only down ten to nothing because they buckled

372
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 6: down the red zone. Now that was terrible because they

373
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: weren't playing very well. They have a bunch of three and outs,

374
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 6: they made mistakes, and then in the second half they

375
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 6: completely outgained the Titans three hundred to seventy something, which

376
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 6: was incredible. They had to tail two hals. Look this

377
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 6: experience coaching staff Sean McDermott. They won four straight division titles.

378
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 6: The experienced quarterback. They understand that it's a long game.

379
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 6: They understand how to make changes throughout the game, the

380
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 6: ebbs and flows of games, and what's most important to

381
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 6: them is keeping teams out of the end zone on

382
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 6: the defensive side and then converting when you're on the

383
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 6: offensive side. And so far they've done a really good job.

384
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 6: They're seventh in the league and red zone efficiency offensively

385
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: six in the league and red zone efficiency defensively. So

386
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 6: they're gonna win and they're gonna, you know, be willing

387
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 6: to bend a little bit. And the other part is guys,

388
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, they they've actually kind of styre

389
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 6: the numbers, like when you look at it there and

390
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 6: you say, like being mediocre, the they're kind of bad

391
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 6: actually in yards per game on the ground, right, I mean,

392
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 6: they're twenty ninth in the league and yards were playing

393
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 6: the ground. It's just not going well. But their deepense

394
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 6: is structured to say, hey, look, if you want to

395
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 6: run against us, we can live with that. We're not

396
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 6: going to let you make big plays. The Bills and

397
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 6: Sean mcdermmy's tenure, the Bills are one of the best

398
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 6: of that the best team in the league just not

399
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 6: allowing big plays over the top. I think they've only

400
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 6: allowed one of those this year that went for a touchdown,

401
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 6: and that was because a rookie safety was starting due

402
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 6: to injury, and that was Nico Collins and the Texans.

403
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 6: So you know, they're kind of their philosophy is, hey,

404
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 6: you can run on us a little bit, We'll be

405
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: okay with that. You're just not going to throw the

406
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 6: ball down the field to get big plays on us

407
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 6: in score points.

408
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm this defense, the way they play together is

409
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 4: really good. I mean, they just I don't know if

410
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: it's their philosophy of just having really smart players. The

411
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: guy who just jumps out at me is I'm not

412
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: sure if it's Terrell or Taro Bernard just watching him, smart,

413
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 4: tough guy. Just talk about some of those linebackers.

414
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, well he might not play this week. Guys, he

415
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 6: has an ankle injury. And he is a terrific player,

416
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: There's no doubt about it. You know. One of the

417
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 6: you know, kind of more frustrating parts of the last

418
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 6: couple of years, as we've been dot and i'd here,

419
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 6: the Bills have been denied of seeing Terrerol Bernard and

420
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 6: Matt Malone on this field at the same time. Matt

421
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 6: Malone was an All Pro. He's incredible, but you know,

422
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 6: he broke his leg last year in Week number five

423
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 6: and then when he came back this year, he was

424
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 6: ready to play and then he tore his biceps in

425
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 6: training camp, so he's been out all year. So Dorian

426
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 6: Williams in his second year, has been filling in and

427
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 6: he's just getting better every week. Dorrian Wallie supplies around

428
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 6: it plays like his Arizon player and Terrel Bernard. He's

429
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 6: just such a great athlete. He plays the middle. He's

430
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 6: a undersized middle linebacker. You know, he's not a throwback

431
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 6: like ray Lewis. This is a guy that really probably

432
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 6: is more built physically to play the will linebacker spot,

433
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 6: but he's so tough and he's so mentally his high IQ.

434
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 6: He's all over the field as a middle linebacker. Now

435
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 6: if he doesn't play, Val Inspector will fill in for him,

436
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 6: and Balen Spector isn't Terrel Bernard. He's a very good

437
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 6: North He's more of a throwback. He's more of a

438
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 6: North stout, make tackles kind of guy. But he can

439
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 6: be had in coverage a little bit, which we've seen.

440
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 6: So that's gonna be a big area for the Bills

441
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 6: to kind of see where they go and look. Bill's

442
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 6: play pretty much exclusively nickel defense, so where most teams

443
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 6: have three linebackers. The bilster linebackers actually their slot corner

444
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 6: and that's Taron Johnson. And for my money, he's the

445
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 6: best slot corner in the league. He is the first

446
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 6: team All Pro last year. He's smaller, but he's very

447
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 6: physical and he's a terrific cover corner.

448
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: Hey, sal moy and I have covered the Seahawks for

449
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: a while, and there's.

450
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: Nothing like a good interview, right.

451
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: A guy who's engaging has personality, and it seems like

452
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: you got to get that in keyon coleman Man. How

453
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: fun is it talking to this young man and then

454
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: seeing him have the best game of his career last

455
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: week with what one hundred and twenty five yards?

456
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he made his presence zone right away.

457
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 6: You guys saw probably the viral clips. I just drafted

458
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 6: at the big yellow coat to the floor in the

459
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 6: media room and you know he's taking he's taking candy

460
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 6: from the media table and talking to people, and you

461
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 6: know he came in. He's drafted at twenty years old, right,

462
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 6: I mean, he can't even legally buy a beer. He's

463
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 6: drafted and comes to Buffalo and he's a young guy.

464
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 6: He just loves football. And he is very engaging. You're

465
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 6: right about that. You know, he's kind of quiet times.

466
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: But the funny thing about Keion is like he'll say

467
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 6: something and you think like he's trying to be funny,

468
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 6: but he's not. He's just being honest and it's really funny.

469
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 6: And that's just his personalities and he's engaging like that,

470
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: and really to see him grow on the field. There's

471
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 6: a guy that you know, people really hammered the Bills

472
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 6: from making that trade with the Chiefs on Draft Day

473
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 6: and the Chiefs going up to get Xavier Worthy. Everybody

474
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 6: thought the Bills should taken Xavier Worthy and oh my god,

475
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 6: how can you trade with the Chiefs and the Super

476
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 6: Bowl champs, the teams that team that's beaten you. But

477
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 6: now the Bills didn't want Daviy Worthy. They could have

478
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 6: drafted him there and he's fine of the player he

479
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 6: may turn out to be. They knew that they wanted

480
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 6: Kean Coleman and they were able to jump down and

481
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 6: they were able to get him. He fits in this

482
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 6: offense very well. And you know, he's a guy that

483
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 6: people might not realize. This kid played basketball at Michigan

484
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 6: State and he played football at Florida State when he

485
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 6: transferred to basket. You know, he's just such a great athlete,

486
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 6: and he was a guard at Michigan State. Like, he's

487
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 6: just so great on his feet. He's really well balanced.

488
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: He saw that with his rack last week, run after

489
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 6: the catch, So you know, he's a fun kid to cover,

490
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 6: and I think he's gonna have a really nice career.

491

Speaker 4: You had a little bit of overlap, brought up coach

622
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: Scott he was at Alabama when you were there also,

623
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: Is that correct?

624
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 6: Yes?

625
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: What what's different what he taught? Maybe at Alabama? Have

626
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: you seen a little bit of change? Is there a

627
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: different scheme to what you ran at Alabama to where

628
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 4: we are in Seattle's.

629
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 7: Pretty much there's nothing different, you know, is all the same.

630
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 7: What coach Scotty coaching me and coaching the secondary?

631
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 2: What's you played in the toughest conference in college football,

632
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: the SEC And obviously.

633
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: You guys put a lot of guys out.

634
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: But I would assumed that there's still a transition that

635
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: happens to the NFL. What was the biggest difference from

636
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: playing in the SEC playing college football to now getting

637
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: reps in the NFL?

638
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 7: Defense on, I mean, everybody who's good in this league.

639
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 7: So it's all about technice and fundamentals at the end

640
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 7: of the day. So that's why she was like different

641
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 7: in his league.

642
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: All Right, he is Seahawks corner.

643
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: Josh Joe Man, We appreciate your time, good luck this weekend.

644
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: We hope to talk to you soon.

645
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 7: Thank you, appreciate y'all.

646
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: All right, that was Josh Joe Moyer.

647
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. He's a good player.

648
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: He is, man.

649
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 5: I was trying to ask him, how did you end

650
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 5: up here?

651
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: How were How was other teams not clamoring to get you?

652
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 9: You know?

653
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: He again played good football at Alabama. He's got good side.

654
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: He looks like a corner. I was watching him early

655
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 4: in the game and I was like, man, he is

656
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: not afraid to be up and bob.

657
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: But I was curious, is that what? Hey?

658
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 4: You know, there some guys, if you're play manned, man,

659
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 4: you know you can play off, you can be in bump,

660
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: you can run out, you can play soft corner. There's

661
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 4: lots of different techniques to it. I want to did

662
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: they tell you bump and run here or are you

663
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: one of those? If you've got the option, you're up

664
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 4: in their face, no fear, quick feet. I mean he

665
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: just I was watching him and Pritchard. I was like, Okay,

666
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 4: who's the better corner of the two. And Pitcher's got

667
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 4: some really good speed and closing speed. He's got some

668
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 4: Matt beats that are really interesting. But this guy's got

669
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 4: change of direction, he's strong, he's good and impressed, he's

670
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: comfortable playing off. I mean I was really I was

671
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 4: very impressed with what we got there, and it just

672
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 4: adds to the competition. I mean, you got Pritchard, now

673
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 4: you've got him, you got Trey Brown, obviously wool and

674
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: you've got Witherspoon. Unfortunately already burns Now is on IR.

675
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: But that's a really deep group of people.

676
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 10: So sorry, really quick note on Josh Shob You asked

677
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 10: of why he got how he ended up in Seattle,

678
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 10: so he got cut from Philly and everything coming out

679
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 10: of Philly.

680
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: Said that people were surprised that he got.

681
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 10: Cut because if you look at Philly last year, he

682
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 10: played in a team high three hundred and twenty two

683
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 10: special teams plays.

684
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: He was their top gunner.

685
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 10: He grated out as the number one special teams player

686
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 10: on Pro Football Focus. Started three games last year, so

687
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 10: people in Philly were generally surprised. They had to carry

688
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 10: a couple extra corners. Now, how he got here. Obviously

689
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 10: John Schneider and the personnel team had eyes on him,

690
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 10: but it's surprising that no one else reached out because

691
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 10: he did have some really good film in Philly last year.

692
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: All right, that's our producer, Nasa Choby.

693
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you.

694
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: It a one time, but Nasa Chokey, he goes, look, man,

695
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: let me hey, I got y'all chill for a little bit.

696
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take care of I got.

697
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 5: That one in my notes.

698
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: I was just letting him take all the credit us.

699
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: Well, we're glad that he's here because that dB room

700
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: was extremely deep to start the season, and then you

701
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: see guys start to drop, and then you wonder who's

702
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: gonna step up and be the next guy up. And

703
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: to be in that position and do that, it's harder

704
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: than what people think. I know, people say they prepare

705
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: like I'm going to be a starter every single week.

706
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: Man.

707
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: I went in the weeks knowing dang well wasn't on

708
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 2: touch the field, you know, and it's different when you

709
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: have to turn it on and go out there and

710
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: actually do it. So to see him have the confidence

711
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: that you talked about to getting that bump and run

712
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: to be aggressive is a testament to him being prepared

713
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: and the coaches and stealing that confidence in well.

714
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: He had six tackles, he had two passes defensed. I

715
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: mean he had there was one. You heard me talk

716
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 4: about him and Pritcher. I go, oh, man, if he

717
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 4: just trusts that, just trust, get your feet and go.

718
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 5: And he was there.

719
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: It was almost like wow, is it you know, is

720
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 4: this a setup? I'm right there and you know sometimes

721
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 4: he's got to trust your instincts, go and you get

722
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: an interception. Good player though, And I think obviously Carl

723
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 4: Scott having some familiarity with him at Alabama helped, you know,

724
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 4: getting him here also. But I am I'm shocked he

725
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 4: wasn't on a team two weeks ago.

726
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,600

742
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: All right, man, it's we're going around the NFL. And

743
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 3: I'm a big confused right now.

744
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: I'm confused because the Los Angeles Rams are winning twenty

745
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: eight to twenty. They're beating the Minnesota Vikings, the same

746
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: Rams who feel like they're trying to start all over.

747
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: They said, Matthew Stafford is out there if you want

748
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: him Cooper cup is out there if you want him.

749
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: It's it's weird for them to put all of that

750
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: out there yet still go out there and compete with

751
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. So they don't look at the Vikings

752
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: and I go, have you been fooling us this whole time?

753
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: Have you been lying to my face? Are you really

754
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 2: not that good of a football team? They are in

755
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: a great division, the NFC North, I feel like, is

756
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: one of the best in that the best division in football.

757
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, man, what do you make of this whole situation?

758
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: The c NFL it's every single week, it doesn't matter.

759
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 4: I mean injuries, next guy up. We had Josh Joe,

760
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: you know, played great football last week. We thought we

761
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: were in trouble with Wollen and all those guys out.

762
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 4: So the Rams have talent. You know, they still have Stafford,

763
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 4: They have a defense at young you know, they figure

764
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 4: had all play together. The Minnesota starts coming back down

765
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: to Earth. I'll send you lose one game, you go, oh,

766
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: we are mortal. Wait a minute, you know, maybe our

767
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: quarterback there's a reason why he's been a journeyman along

768
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 4: the way, So you know, there's lots of reasons for

769
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 4: it for me. I'd like the Rams to lose right

770
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 4: now because I just want to get them out of

771
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 4: the way, let them start selling off. I mean, you know,

772
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 4: there's talk about Cooper Cup getting traded. I don't think.

773
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: I don't see it happening because he's been injured so much.

774
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 4: In the cap hit for the Rams and what somebody

775
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 4: would have to take on. I think it's twenty six,

776
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: twenty seven million, so a lot of stuff there that

777
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. I dislike the Rams so much just

778
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: about that. Just I'm doing just the scouts below the

779
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 4: forty nine ers. I just want them done. I just

780
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: want them to move on, rebuild, and then let the Seahawks,

781
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 4: you know, take over for the this division for the

782
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 4: next five years.

783
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm with you one hundred percent. It looks like they're

784
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 2: not just gonna move on. It looks like they're putting

785
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: up a fire. Twenty eight to twenty with five minutes,

786
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 2: twenty seconds left in the game, and they're on the road.

787
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: Actually no, they're at home, actually against the Minnesota device.

788
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 5: It probably feels like a road game.

789
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 3: It always feels like a road game in LA for sure.

790
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 2: Oh man, let's talk about these Cleveland Browns man, you

791
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: make the worst decision in franchise history. You bring over

792
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: to Shaun Watson with all the drama that he brings,

793
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: and then you pay him a guaranteed contract. He now

794
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: ruptures his achilles, and you get rid of Amari Cooper.

795
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: You have arguably the best defensive player in the game

796
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: on your team. I mean, if you're the Cleveland Browns,

797
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 2: where do you go from here?

798
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 3: You got to get a new general manager.

799
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: I mean it's just that decision, the you know, the

800
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 4: whole Watson decision. And you know there was things on

801
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 4: film before that too, right. I mean, he had some

802
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: great years, don't get me wrong. You know, really good

803
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 4: with his legs at the time. You know he was young.

804
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 4: I get it. But the risk of what they did,

805
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: every dollar is guaranteed for them not to put in

806
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 4: the contract any kind of way out.

807
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 5: It's nuts to me. They're done.

808
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 4: I mean that will set them back another three or

809
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 4: four years. Now they have Jameis and Winston who can play.

810
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you get a veteran guy in there. They

811
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 4: have not scored twenty points in seven games. I mean

812
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 4: these are nineteen ninety two Seattle Seahawks offense numbers. I

813
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 4: mean it's really bad. So I don't know. I mean

814
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 4: part of me doesn't really care. I mean, I know

815
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 4: some people were saying, ah, he shouldn't have got booed

816
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: when he hit his achilles.

817
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 5: I mean, that's not why they booed.

818
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 4: I mean there's other people in there spattering to booze

819
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: for other reasons, would be my guess. But they might

820
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 4: be a better team now with him injured because he

821
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 4: looked awful.

822
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston said to get the start over there, dtr

823
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 2: filled in last week. I believe he threw two interceptions.

824
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: So now you move on to Jamis. I want to

825
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 2: see Jamis play just for the soundbites. It's gonna be

826
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 2: entertaining and post game when he talks to the meat

827
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: and so I'm excited about that.

828
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 5: Do you remember when he first came in the league.

829
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you ever hear some of his speeches?

830
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were horrible.

831
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: They're great at the same time.

832
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 4: But he's turned into this guy who's become a motivational speaker.

833
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 5: I mean that's just maturity.

834
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 4: And age, right, And you know he's I think now.

835
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 4: I mean I listened to him and I go, Okay.

836
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: He's got you fooled. It's all.

837
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: I think he just leaned into just being silly and

838
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: just dramatic.

839
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: And but yeah, if you like him, I love him though,

840
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 3: so you know, I don't know for Jamis.

841
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 5: I like some of his speeches. They're kind of funny.

842
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, So the Buccaneers, man, goodness gracious,

843
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. You lose Mike Evans to a hamstring injury

844
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: and then what a minute left on the clock, Godwin

845
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 2: goes down and Todd Balls is getting a lot of

846
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: phlak for having him in the games too. Me personally,

847
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: this is football, this is the NFL. It's not high school.

848
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: It's not you. You play your guys until they can't

849
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: go anymore. I understand hindsight's always twenty twenty. People are

850
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: gonna judge him, But the Buccaneers are one of the

851
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: teams that I said on bumpa Stacey.

852
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 3: Today should look to get Cooper Cup.

853
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: If you're really trying to enhance your offense and help Baker,

854
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: who's having a decent year minus the game the other night,

855
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: you go ahead and put your bid in for Cooper Cup,

856
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: especially because the Rams say they are willing to take

857
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: on some of that cap hit.

858
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean there's two teams that are on a

859
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 4: bit of a free fall, and I think one is

860
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 4: New Orleans.

861
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 5: I mean New Orleans came out the first.

862
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: Two games of the year and we all go, Wow,

863
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 4: this team scoring forty points a game.

864
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 5: They're unbelievable.

865
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 4: And now they've lost five games in a row, and

866
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay has a chance to go do the same thing,

867
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: you know, just they're so beat up. I think losing

868
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 4: Godwin Evans is really good too. Godwin's got that speed,

869
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 4: you know when Yeah, he two really good wide receivers.

870
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how you come back from that. I

871
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 4: think Baker Mayfield is kind of proven that he is

872
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: a good quarterback in this league. But I think he's

873
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: also a quarterback that he got to have all the

874
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 4: parts around him, right when you're just a bit undersized

875
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 4: in that this league, man, he just there's not a

876
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 4: lot of margin for air. So all good for the Seahawks.

877
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 4: You know, teams that you know, you want any everybody

878
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 4: in the NFC to lose. Yeah, it's just bottom line.

879
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 4: Hopefully we can win the division, but if we can't,

880
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 4: you want obviously an opportunity to get a wild card spot.

881
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of the division, the forty nine ers, goodness, gracious,

882
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 2: you got Iu who has pneumonia symptoms. Obviously McCaffrey is out, Brandon,

883
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 2: I you this is why listen, people don't like players

884
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 2: holding out.

885
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 3: This is why you hold out because you never know

886
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: when you're gonna go.

887
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 2: And it's a cl gets blown out after he gets paid.

888
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: It's not looking good for the Niners, and guys are

889
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 2: gonna get healthy. Kittle has an ankle thing going on

890
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 2: as well. I'm looking at Brock Party and I'm asking,

891
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: all right, can you be the guy to elevate the

892
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: talent around you, because that's what the great quarterbacks do.

893
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 2: Party has been in such a great situation when he

894
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: comes to his talent, the coaching, the division. Now the

895
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: weight is on his shoulders. What do you make of

896
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: the situation over there in San Francisco?

897
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're getting older, they've you know, their

898
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 4: salary cap situation is brutal. You know, if you can

899
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 4: get McCaffrey back, I think you got a chance because

900
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 4: he's so explosive. Samuel is still a guy that's very explosive.

901
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 4: Jenning's good wide receiver, Kittle. They they've got weapons. Their defense,

902
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 4: obviously Fred Warner in the middle. They got a good

903
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 4: defensive front as well. Their offensive line has struggled a

904
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: little bit as good as they are, I mean, they're

905
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 4: really good. Their centers fantastic. Obviously, Trent Williams is still,

906
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 4: you know, playing at a high level. But here's what

907
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: now with brock Party, every team knows his strength and

908
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 4: weakness now, every team. And he's good. He's good in

909
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 4: the pocket, he's good with his feet, he's good.

910
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 5: At buying time.

911
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 4: But they're going to take away your strength and force

912
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 4: you into your weakness, and they're going to crowd the

913
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 4: middle of the field. He's really good in the middle

914
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 4: of the field, and he's had three interceptions last week.

915
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna copy that game plan. They still going to

916
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 4: match up. Obviously, from a talent standpoint, this is it.

917
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 4: I think this is why the Seahawks went and got

918
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 4: Roberts and Harris. I think this is why we shored

919
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 4: up our linebacker spot. I think this is why we're

920
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 4: getting healthier, hopefully at the offensive line. Hopefully we get back.

921
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna have Durell here as well. I think the

922
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: Seahawks realized this is an opportunity to win the division

923
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 4: this year.

924
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel it. That's why they're making these moves.

925
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: Make this team better and take advantage of a division

926
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: that seems to be wounded right now. But the Rams

927
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: trying to change all of that, but work to do

928
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: all right. When we come back, we will go inside

929
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 2: the film room. We got Ken Walker's twenty yard touchdown run.

Speaker 3: So many great restaurants to choose from.

942
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 2: Today we had our pre show meal at Earl's I

943
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: had the chicken sandwich tread for fies.

944
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: It was bomb. It was good. It was good. What

945
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 3: you have Moore?

946
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 4: I had the grilled salmon, some wild rice. I did

947
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 4: get a couple of cheese cakes to go. They did

948
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 4: mention was a Chilean sea bass. I think it was

949
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 4: Chilean sea bass. Looked amazing, but I'd already ordered the salmon.

950
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 4: And then they said they've completely redone their menu. So

951
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 4: if those who've been into Earls before, which I've always

952
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 4: liked their food, completely different menu. They talked about if

953
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 4: you guys were into sushi roles, they've redone those and

954
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 4: they were all raving about it.

955
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 5: So, yeah, good stuff.

956
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: He said something like the GM. His name was Liam.

957
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 2: He said, there's like sixteen items on the menu. They

958
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: got rid of like fifteen of them and they switched

959
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: it all up.

960
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 3: So check out Earls. Man. It was a good situation,

961
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 3: all right.

962
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 4: Let's what did I mention?

963
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 5: Also? Was that Earls? What was so special about Earls?

964
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: What was so special?

965
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's where your daughter met her husband, right, daughter

966
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: met her husband well years ago, maybe thirteen years ago.

967
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: He was bartend And it's funny story because I think

968
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: they're listening right now. My daughter ordered some wine and

969
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 4: he was bartending at the time, and my son in law,

970
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 4: who I loved to death, one of my best friends.

971
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 4: He doesn't know wine, so he makes a recommendation to her.

972
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 4: It's the only time she's ever taken the asked for

973
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 4: the wine to go back and give her another another glass.

974
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 4: So they've been together ever since. Two little beautiful babies.

975
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 4: And yeah, life was good.

976
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: I think that was on purpose because he wanted to

977
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 2: keep talking. And then she plows, oh, take this bag,

978
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: and that's a good move. MoMA, man, that's what he's

979
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 2: gonna move.

980
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 3: Good move.

981
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: And Taylor, all right, well, congratulations to the more your family.

982
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 2: Man at Earls. If you're single, you might meet your

983
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: special person. Those you never know go there, you never know.

984
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: All right, man, let's get into the film room. This

985
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: first player, we're gonna break down.

986
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 3: His kin Walker.

987
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: He runs for a twenty yard touchdown early in the

988
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 2: second quarter.

989
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 11: Second down and fib a hand off to Walker. He's

990
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 11: down of the fifteen turns up field ten five touchdown

991
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 11: Shayhawks Ken Walker the third over the right side, who says,

992
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 11: those are rookies playing up there? Big hole Walker takes

993
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 11: her to the house from twenty yards out and the

994
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 11: Sea Yawks are a point away from going up ten

995
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 11: to nothing over the home standing falcon.

996
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 2: All right, that play right there. It was simple as

997
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 2: like a zone, right, all right. And what we're seeing,

998
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: what we're seeing is we got our produce in our ear.

999
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: I told him he didn't send the player. He corrected

1000
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: me real quick. All right, I got it, I got it,

1001
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: all right. So what happened is it's pretty much a

1002
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: zone right right. It's a zone, right. So all that

1003
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 2: means is everybody is blocking the guy in front of

1004
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: them essentially into the right side.

1005
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 3: You got the big boys.

1006
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: You got Michael Jarrell, who will talk to later, and

1007
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: you'll also have Chris Haynes and those.

1008
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 3: Guys just dominate.

1009
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: You got body on a body, and then that the

1010
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: center does a good job climb into the second level

1011
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: taking care of the Mike linebackers. So all you have

1012
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 2: to do if you're Ken Walker is make that safety miss.

1013
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: The most disrespectful part of this run is the block

1014
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 2: by DK Metcalf. You guys are watching, that's a block

1015
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: with DK had one hand on a man. It was

1016
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: just dominate him. Me and DK would have to fight

1017
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: after that. You're not going to do me like that

1018
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: on TV? But yeah, what are you gonna do? I'm

1019
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: doing something. I'm swing, I'm getting pillowy, your know what.

1020
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 4: He would put his hand on the top of your head,

1021
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 4: been like you your little kid coming up.

1022
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: You'd be swinging exactly what it was.

1023
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 2: But nonetheless been that right side of the offensive line.

1024
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: Did a great job, Kenn Walker being the special runner.

1025
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 4: He is our rookies man. You described it well. I mean,

1026
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 4: you know, off set, you know K nine to the left,

1027
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 4: but he ends up going back to the right between.

1028
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 5: Our garden tackle.

1029
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: It's just a great block by Michael Jirell and and

1030
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 4: our other rookie and Chris Haynes. I mean, that's the future,

1031
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 4: you guys is there and it's a really well blocked

1032
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 4: And here's the one thing. Once K nine gets into

1033
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 4: the open field and works towards the corner, there's no

1034
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 4: one fast enough to get him, and it's touchdown. This

1035
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 4: is now at least three of his touchdowns have been

1036
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 4: a similar type of uh finishing run by K nine.

1037
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: Yep, all right.

1038
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,959
Speaker 2: This next play, Geno Smith finds DK metcalf or thirty

1039
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: one guard touchdown right before halftime, third.

1040
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 11: Down in fifteen Geno from the shotgun, three man rush.

1041
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 3: Gino steps up. He's gonna throw the end zone.

1042
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 8: Dka, he's got it. Touch down, Sayhawks, What a bullet

1043
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 8: thrown by Geno.

1044
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: Smith dk metcalf again between.

1045
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 11: Two defenders underneath the goalposts, makes the reception on an

1046
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 11: absolute dime from thirty one out. Holy Catfish want to

1047
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 11: play by the Hawks. They make it sixteen to seven,

1048
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 11: and the fans here in Atlanta are just stunned.

1049
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 3: What'd you see more?

1050
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 5: Ah man, this is so good, you guys. Yeah.

1051
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 4: First of all, let's just talk about the situation. They

1052
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 4: already know I'm going kick the field goal. Kick the field.

1053
00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 4: We got no timeouts left, defenses are top. Don't give

1054
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 4: up a touchdown at this point, give up the field goal.

1055
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: Clearly Atlanta had shown something on film. They go and

1056
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 4: play a Tampa two Cover two. You do not want

1057
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 4: to play cover two down in the red zone. It's

1058
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 4: really hard on the safeties. It's just too much for

1059
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 4: me to cover. So I've got to protect the outside

1060
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 4: field of the field towards the sideline. So I've got

1061
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: to honor that. So the weakness of the defenses. You

1062
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,479
Speaker 4: pull both the safeties wide towards the sideline the weeks

1063
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 4: and defenses down the middle. Well, Tampa two is you

1064
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 4: have a linebacker sprint down the middle of the field

1065
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 4: and almost plays like a.

1066
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 5: Deep third safety.

1067
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 4: Also, that sounds really good on paper, except when you

1068
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 4: have a guy like DK Metcalf who's running down the

1069
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 4: seam just widens the nickel just enough. To me, they

1070
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 4: played it. They didn't play it right. You've got to

1071
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: widen that slot guy. You can't let him go down

1072
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 4: the middle. You got to push him to the safety.

1073
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 4: The best you can see, he has a chance to

1074
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 4: make that play. So there's ten seconds left, and I'm like,

1075
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 4: we got no time out, so they're gonna play the

1076
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 4: sideline not to give up any more yards, and they're

1077
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 4: gonna protect the end zone or they didn't protect the

1078
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 4: end zone. So we're watching the play in McDonald's Actually,

1079
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 4: Coach McDonald explained it awesome. He goes the first thing

1080
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: I was watching was the protection, and the protection was

1081
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 4: pretty good, and Gino stepped up in the pocket. So

1082
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 4: now there's nowhere to go. So the ball has to

1083
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 4: come out of his hand and he go and coach

1084
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 4: McDonald says, Wow, he's you know, he's gonna he's gonna

1085
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 4: let it go, or he's he's gonna take the shot

1086
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 4: type of thing. And I said the same thing. I

1087
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 4: was like, oh, he's taking the shot here. That ball

1088
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 4: traveled forty one to forty two yards in the air.

1089
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 4: He threw it from the thirty seven yard line. DK

1090
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 4: Kent caught at four five yards into the end zone.

1091
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 5: That is a long throw.

1092
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 4: And then again it's now there's four seconds left on

1093
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 4: the clock. It's a brilliant throw. It's a brilliant play.

1094
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 4: It shows the trust that they have, Gino, because there's

1095
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 4: no timeouts, Gino, you cannot take a sack. We cannot

1096
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 4: throw this ball in bounds. It has to go somewhere

1097
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 4: towards the sideline. We get out of bounds immediately, or

1098
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 4: the shots gotta be into the end zone. Credit to grub,

1099
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 4: credit to coach McDonald, credit to Gino. All of that

1100
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 4: obviously just a great catch by DK. So I just

1101
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 4: so many great things about that play.

1102
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 3: All Right, we gotta be quick on this last one.

1114
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 11: second your linebacker out of Auburn. He probably he has

1115

Speaker 11: a sweet full of family and friends here watching. Cousins

1116
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,640

1142

1143
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 2: did you see what this young man from Finley did?

1144
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 2: How was your your first like real reps out there

1145
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: in the NFL consistently at.

1146
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 9: Least, I would say, man, Like the feeling I had

1147
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 9: going into it.

1148
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 3: Like I was nervous. I hain't gonna lot like that.

1149
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 3: I had to depend on my vets.

1150
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 9: And then just some of the other guys in the

1151
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 9: room and they you know, and I had the whole

1152
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 9: offense and the whole team behind even you know, everybody

1153
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 9: was excited for me. But when I got out there

1154
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 9: the first play, I was like, just run off the

1155
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 9: ball and you know, be physical. And then after that,

1156
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 9: I was like, okay, ain is bad. People make it

1157
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 9: seems like man, but you know it feel good. Was

1158
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 9: it a run player your first play? I think it

1159
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 9: was a run play.

1160
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 4: There you go, No, I'm actually it was play action pass.

1161
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 9: I mean they somebody told me before the game that

1162
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 9: you won't remember none of the plays yet, like you

1163
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 9: won't remember and I don't remember any play. I was

1164
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 9: just out there just like in his own just trying

1165
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 9: to make sure I had to write assignments and stuff.

1166
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 9: But for the most part, I was just trying to

1167
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 9: just make sure I could put some good stuff on tape,

1168
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 9: you know, let it. I didn't want to be the reason.

1169
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 9: I didn't want to let the team down. That was

1170
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 9: like a moment, I don't let the team down, don't

1171
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 9: be the reason, and that that's the mindset I wasn't.

1172
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 4: To get you.

1173
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 5: Definitely didn't let the team down.

1174
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 4: And look, at the end of the day, it's just football, right,

1175
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: and you've played a lot of football. I mean, you

1176
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 4: started all four years in college, right, so I mean

1177
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 4: it's not like you haven't played a lot of football.

1178
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 4: Now they are bigger, they're faster, they're better. Talk about

1179
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 4: what your impression was. Okay, wow, this these are live bullets.

1180
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 4: Did you think it was about what you expected?

1181
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 5: Easier? Hard?

1182
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 3: I would say, like it was, it was. I would

1183
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 3: say it's easier.

1184
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,479
Speaker 9: But because training camp, when you go through a whole

1185
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 9: NFL training camp, like it's nothing like that. Even those

1186
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 9: joint practice like those are like wars out there every day.

1187
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 9: And then even the Seahawks practice that we hadn't over

1188
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 9: the summer like wars, and then going into the game,

1189
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 9: it just felt like, I don't know, it just felt

1190
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 9: felt easy, felt laxed, you know. But like I mean,

1191
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 9: obviously like the tensions there because it's the game, money's

1192
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 9: on the line, playoff potential playoff positions on the line,

1193
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 9: like all that's on the line, so it's like more intense.

1194
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 9: But practices in the summer were definitely harder.

1195
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 3: Man, do you you have a great story.

1196
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 2: I was talking to Paul and Nass over dinner and

1197
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 2: we're saying that you know, because of social media and

1198
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 2: just the access people have to you guys, it's it's

1199
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 2: not surprising that a young man from a D two

1200
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 2: makes it to the NFL. Man, when did you realize

1201
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: that this was a real thing. I'm sure going into

1202
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: school this was your ultimate goal, but when did it

1203
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 2: become real, Like, Okay, I could really make this, you know,

1204
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 2: my life.

1205
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 3: In the future.

1206
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 9: I would say, like when I had got my first start,

1207
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 9: like my first starting like the full season, like after

1208
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 9: the pandemic, but after in the full season going to

1209
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 9: my uh, I think that that was like my fourth

1210
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 9: year and I had my first full season starting. The

1211
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 9: first game we played against like the number one team

1212
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 9: at D two, and they had guys that were like

1213
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 9: the NFL prospects, Like they had a guy Caleb Murphy,

1214
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 9: and I had a good game miss then it didn't

1215
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 9: even get it didn't get a I think he may

1216
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 9: had one pressure, no sacks, and out of the whole

1217
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 9: entire time I played him like the two games and

1218
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 9: I was like, Okay, if he's an NFL prospect, I

1219
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 9: can play at the next level.

1220
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 3: And then just seeing.

1221
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 9: Guys that I grow up with, and I'm like, like

1222
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 9: I remember playing with these dudes, like they get an

1223
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 9: NFL attention, I can get that too, So I'm like,

1224
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 9: I can do it. And then once you know, I

1225
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 9: put him away, started getting stronger, the technique start getting

1226
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:56,479
Speaker 9: a little bit better.

1227
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 3: You know, then everything just took off for me.

1228
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 4: If you played that game again, what did you learn

1229
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 4: from it? What would you do different? And it could

1230
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 4: be anything, could be technique, it could be you know,

1231
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 4: the bull rush got me. What is it that you

1232
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 4: learned in that game?

1233
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 9: Don't overthink like I learned, don't overthink. I think a

1234
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 9: little bit of myself. I was overthinking it because like

1235
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 9: I'm like personally chase of perfection and you ain't gonna

1236
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 9: have the perfect rip, You're not gonna have your hands

1237
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 9: in the perfect spot, if your fee's not gonna be

1238
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 9: in the perfect spot, ahs and everything, and just don't

1239
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 9: overthink it. Like it's just full of at the end

1240
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 9: of the day, I mean, obviously, like you said, bigger, faster, stronger,

1241
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 9: and better football players. But at the end of the day,

1242
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 9: I'm a grown man. He's a grown man. We put

1243
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 9: our shoes on the same way. Just go out there

1244
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 9: and do a job and don't overthink it.

1245
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 3: What me either.

1246
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: Paul always asked this question, all right, do we go

1247
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 2: back and forth because we both played in one of

1248
00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 2: the things I missed the most.

1249
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 3: It's just the chatter that happens on a football field.

1250
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 2: There is nothing like a dudes get borderline crazy out there,

1251
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 2: and I missed that.

1252
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 3: What what's your approach? Are you the talking type or

1253
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 3: you the quiet time? How do you approach it?

1254
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 9: I'm pretty much quiet until somebody get me riled up

1255
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 9: for the most part, Like I don't know, like you

1256
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 9: get to saying something that I don't like, then I okay,

1257
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 9: Now now we gotta start talking extension words. But for

1258
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 9: the most part, I like to stay cool, calm, and not.

1259
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 3: Feed too much into it.

1260
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 9: Like I'm not gonna do like when I do get going,

1261
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna do nothing to go get a penalty

1262
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 9: right and stuff. I'm not gonna I know when to stop.

1263
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 9: But just you know, we make a big play, I'm

1264
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 9: gonna talk a little bit. We you know, we get

1265
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 9: to get a first down, I'm gonna talk a little bit.

1266
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 9: Or our payingcaking, I'm definitely gonna talk. So it's like

1267
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 9: I'm a I gotta need some players need some excitement

1268
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 9: to have him.

1269
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 3: Then I say something, Yep.

1270
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's a few favorite plays in that game.

1271
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: We were just showing.

1272
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 11: Uh.

1273
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 4: Actually Steve Rabel made the call. I think it was

1274
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 4: kidding the first with the first touchdown K nine run,

1275
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 4: there's forty yard run. You got Christian Haynes was in,

1276
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 4: You're in, you got the kickout. Christian Haynes looks like

1277
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 4: he's got the hook. Obviously Canine takes it the distance.

1278
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you guys are the future of

1279
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 4: that offensive line. Was there a favorite playing that game

1280
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 4: for him?

1281
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 9: I would say that that was probably a favorite play.

1282
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 9: And that and then the bomb Gino threw down at

1283
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 9: the end of the half that was special. Yeah, it

1284
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 9: was that was a special player. I liked those two plays.

1285
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 9: And then just getting killed in the end zone. He's

1286
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 9: sick and stuff like he was sick going through it

1287
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 9: and I'm like, you could see it. That's why he

1288
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 9: fell to the ground. He was just like, man, exhausted

1289
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 9: that but just get It's always good to get your

1290
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 9: running back into the end zone.

1291
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 3: I love passing ball.

1292
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 9: I love I love when the receivers getting there, but

1293
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 9: when the oat when the runner back gets in the

1294
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 9: end zone. It's just something special because that shows the

1295
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 9: true grid of the offensive line and opening up pose

1296
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 9: and stuff.

1297
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 3: And that's that's what we.

1298
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 4: Did that last play before the half. There's ten seconds left,

1299
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 4: there's no timeouts. You guys are on the thirty one

1300
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 4: yard line. You know, I'm going to kick the field goal.

1301
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 4: Got no time as defenses aren't gonna give you a

1302
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 4: shot in the end zone. They're gonna maybe protect the

1303
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 4: sidelines a little, but they're in field goal range. What

1304
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 4: what was said in the huddle? Was there anything said

1305
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 4: by Gino? Because I mean he stepped up in the pocket.

1306
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 4: Once that happens, there's no point of return there, right,

1307
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 4: I mean, we can't take a sack. What was said

1308
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 4: in that just that play because it was such a

1309
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 4: big play in that game.

1310
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 9: Nothing, it's just snow day in office right there. That's

1311
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 9: just a you know, get call. You get a ball

1312
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 9: to seven man, he go make a play, like you

1313
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 9: gonna do something, give him time, he gonna make a play,

1314
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 9: That's what And that was our Mond says, just make

1315
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 9: a play, get get seven time.

1316
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like that. Yeah, just called a play. I's

1317
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 3: to play all right, Let's go get it.

1318
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 9: And that's his that's his mindset going to airy place,

1319
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 9: because like we got, we got the receivers, we got,

1320
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 9: we got all the skills.

1321
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 3: Just along.

1322
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 9: Okay, I got your back, you got my back. Let's

1323
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 9: let's give him some time. He's going make a play.

1324
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 9: And that's that's our misset going on every play.

1325
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: So you you said earlier in our conversation that once

1326
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 2: you put on weight, you realize, all right, I can

1327
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 2: do this.

1328
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 3: So were you a tight end in high school?

1329
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Did you touch the rock or have you always had

1330
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 2: your hand in the dirt.

1331
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 9: I played tight end my sophomore year on varsity and

1332
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 9: then I got to touch down.

1333
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 3: I got touch down there. Yeah, I played that for

1334
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:20,439
Speaker 3: a year.

1335
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 9: But I was also like my high school didn't have

1336
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 9: an actual tight end in the system, just a package.

1337
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 9: So that it allowed me to play JV as well.

1338
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 9: So I played JV and varsity varsity tight end, JV

1339
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 9: offensive tackle. And then the next year they tried to

1340
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 9: move me to defense. I really wasn't feeling defense. That

1341
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 9: wouldn't be like I could, I could play it, but

1342
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 9: I was just it just wasn't me. And then the

1343
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 9: next year, my senior year, they said Okay, we're gonna

1344
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 9: make you a full time offensive tackle. You're gonna get schools,

1345
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 9: gonna get a scholarship, and just took off from there.

01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 9: they've been in Division two school and uh it was

1390
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 9: a year, there was a year move from that coming

1391
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 9: to next year, and I was being a part of

1392
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 9: a program that was just starting to build stuff, and

1393
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 9: I wanted to stay there my entire time.

1394
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 3: Like I didn't want to I mean, I thought about

1395
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 3: leaving for sure.

1396
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 9: I had a conversation with my coach actually we said

1397
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 9: in the office for like two hours, just talking about

1398
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 9: like opportunities and stuff like, because obviously you got to

1399
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 9: give it some thought. And at the end of that meeting,

1400
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 9: I decide on my own like I ain't leaving. I

1401
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 9: want to stay here. I want to keep building up,

1402
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 9: keep showing the guys for the for the future that

1403
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 9: you can make it out of here too.

1404
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 3: You don't need to leave.

1405
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 9: And hopefully I've said a great example for those guys,

1406
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 9: and they don't.

1407
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 3: They don't want to leave.

1408
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 9: They want to stay there and continue to keep playing

1409
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 9: with their brothers, because that's the most important thing about football.

1410
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 3: You can playing with your brothers.

01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 9: the memories or the good times I've had with them

1453
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,960

Speaker 2: we disagree.

1481
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 5: Then he sends me flowers because he was mean to me.

1482
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 4: I apologize now.

1483
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 2: And then he invites me to one of his country

1484
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 2: club membership.

1485
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 3: The show is mean to me?

1486
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 5: And do you show?

1487
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 3: Do I show?

1488
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 4: Do you show up when I invite you to.

1489
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 3: The country club? Now you have? You haven't invited me

1490
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 3: to one of.

1491
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 5: Those new Castle country club.

1492
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 9: Club?

1493
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 3: Are you ready? Yeah? You want me to go?

1494
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 4: No, I'll go first?

1495
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 3: All right? What you got?

1496
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 5: Look the Hawks?

1497
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you kind of a tease to this,

1498
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 4: but it won't work. Hawks have made back to back

1499
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 4: trades two weeks in a row, trade deadlines still coming up.

1500
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks thinks they have a good team.

1501
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 4: So my question the Seahawks are not done making trades

1502
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 4: before the deadline.

1503
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 2: Oh all right, so you gotta talk about the parts

1504
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 2: of the team that needed to be addressed. Defensive line

1505
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 2: for sure, they did that. Linebackers, for sure, they did that.

1506
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 2: The next you would think is the offensive line. But

1507
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 2: you got Abe Lucas who's been cleared to practice for

1508
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 2: twenty one days. George Fan seems like he is coming back.

1509
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 2: Are they going to address that guard spot? I think

1510
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 2: they're looking at the offensive line and saying we're gonna

1511
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: get better from within. So they're not gonna make a

1512
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 2: move on the offensive line. But I think somewhere they're

1513
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 2: gonna throw another guy in there. I think they've done

1514
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 2: a great job getting ahead of things. You got Roy

1515
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Robinson who's here.

1516
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 3: You got.

1517
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 2: Ernest who they just picked up. But something tells me

1518
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna grab another player. I just don't know who

1519
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be. But I don't think it's gonna be

1520
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 2: with the offensive line. I think they got some young

1521
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 2: talent they're gonna let go so yeah, I think they grabs.

1522
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 2: I just don't know where it's gonna come from. It's

1523
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 2: gonna be like a special teams type of place.

1524
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 4: That's a trade.

1525
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 3: Now.

1526
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 5: They're different than than picking someone up off the street.

1527
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 4: I think they're done trading if everything stays as is

1528
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 4: as far as in other words, look if DK metcalf

1529
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 4: all of a Sudden's injury was longer, maybe they go

1530
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 4: get a wide receiver. I think offensive line, you've got

1531
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 4: Lucas coming back. They've got some options there. I do

1532
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 4: believe the guards have improved. I thought Bradford that was

1533
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 4: his best game. He also looked at Christian Haynes. He

1534
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 4: had that big block there on that touchdown run. He's

1535
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 4: starting to get like fourteen to fifteen snaps, you know,

1536
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 4: keep improving because his big thing is just you know,

1537
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 4: improve on the strength, right, he got to get strong

1538
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 4: inside there, good good pass protector. So I think without injuries,

1539
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 4: I think we stay as there's really not a lot

1540
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 4: of cap space left. We didn't have a lot in

1541
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 4: this last one, but we traded with a guy who's

1542
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 4: on a rookie con track. I believe he's still in

1543
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 4: a rookie contract and gave up Baker, who was you know,

1544
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 4: a few million bucks more than that, so maybe there's

1545
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 4: a little bit left. So I'm gonna say no unless

1546
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 4: there's an injury.

1547
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 3: Okay, all right?

1548
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 2: Next up, the Seahawks will be six and three heading

1549
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 2: into the bye week.

1550
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 5: You got who do we play after this?

1551
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 4: I only look one week at a time, my friend,

1552
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I know we got the Rams coming up. No,

1553
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 4: we got the Rams coming up after Buffalo. Who's out there?

1554
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 4: Somebody text me this? You should know.

1555
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 5: I literally don't know.

1556
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm with you here.

1557
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 3: You gotta know that's that's not working.

1558
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 4: I could go to my calendar. That's gonna be quicker.

1559
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 3: I got you.

1560
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 4: I need to know who we play after Buffalo.

1561
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 5: We do play the Rams, right, the Rams?

1562
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1563
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 5: The Rams?

1564
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Rams is beat Minnesota?

1565
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 5: Oh, I know?

1566
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 4: Is it after Rams? And I don't think it really matters.

1567
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 4: The Rams play is tough.

1568
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 2: Here.

1569
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 4: We played at home out there home. We got back

1570
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 4: to back home games here. Look, we got Here's why

1571
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, yes, we have to.

1572
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 5: Here's what.

1573
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 4: We don't have that many home games loft after these

1574
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 4: next two. I mean we got to you know, towards

1575
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 4: the end of the season. I think we're three out

1576
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 4: of four on the road, you know, I think I

1577
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 4: think it's imperative that we're six and three going into

1578
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 4: the Bible. So I'm gonna say yes, it's actually not imperative.

1579
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 4: We're five and four. We're fine because the division is

1580
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 4: not gonna run away from us right now. But I'm

1581
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 4: gonna say yes, Okay, even though those are two tough games.

1582
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes as well.

1583
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say yes because the Niners have the

1584
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Buccaneers coming up. That Niners Cowboys game

1585
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 2: is going to be so intriguing to me, Hey, what

1586
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 2: are the Niners gonna do? Are they really falling off?

1587
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 2: Are the Cowboys going to try to figure something out?

1588
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: So we don't have to hear excuses from Jerry Jones

1589
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 2: for another week or so?

1590
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 3: That game they need to make that America's Game of

1591
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 3: the Week because there's so much kind of.

1592
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out about those two teams. I'm gonna

1593
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: say yes, but this week our game is Game of

1594
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 2: the Week, America's Game of the Week. But I'm gonna

1595
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 2: say yeah, six and three for sure, I'm with it.

1596
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 4: This is a huge game, and you know what, for

1597
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 4: us to win, For us to win, we got to

1598
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 4: have some big, huge performances. Josh Allen's playing really well.

1599
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 4: Twelve touchdowns, no interceptions, only been sacked nine times or

1600
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 4: five and two. So Geno Smith, though, will outplay Josh

1601
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 4: Allen this week.

1602
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 2: Man, So Geno Smith like a peak Gino Smith game

1603
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 2: to me. Two touchdowns, two hundred and fifty yards because

1604
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 2: if you do that and he's not throwing the ball

1605
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 2: fifty times, which I don't like, that means that the

1606
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 2: run game is going, and that means he's taking care

1607
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 2: of the football. I think this is the game that

1608
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen finally throws an interception and turns the ball over.

1609
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 2: So as ex TLOs even dynamic as Josh Allen is,

1610
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Gino and say he outplays them

1611
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 2: in his way, a Geno type of game, avoiding the

1612
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 2: sex getting the full ball out on time. Two point

1613
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 2: fifty two touchdowns, Josh Allen's gonna throw a pick.

1614
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 3: He's only been sacked like eight nine times something like that.

1615
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 4: It's random, it's you know, it's really a low number.

1616
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 4: But Cousins last week same thing. He hadn't been sacked

1617
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 4: very much and we got three on him, three interceptions,

1618
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 4: and so it's there. I don't know if it needs

1619
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 4: to be statistically.

1620
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 5: I think you'll you'll know it when.

1621
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 4: You see it, right right, And so to me, it's

1622
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 4: one of those games that you said that he makes

1623
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 4: the the big time throw at the critical moment talking

1624
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 4: about Geno that he does not turn the ball over

1625
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 4: unless it's you know, a hail Mary, a halftime or something,

1626
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 4: but I mean in the game moment, no interceptions, big throw,

1627
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 4: a third down and eight, and he's got to put

1628
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 4: it in that window.

1629
01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 5: Those things he avoids.

1630
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 4: That sack, and then I think our look, I think

1631
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 4: if we're if we're behind, it's gonna be hard to

1632
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 4: force Josh into problems.

1633
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 5: We've got to get the lead.

1634
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 4: I think early and forced Josh to have to say, Okay,

1635
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 4: I gotta win this game on my own. And I

1636
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 4: think we really will see it, so we'll know when

1637
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 4: we see it, and I think he's going to it's

1638
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 4: a home game. I think, I don't think. I don't

1639
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 4: think Geno's had a bad game this year. The forty

1640
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 4: nine ers have won where he didn't play well, he

1641
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 4: had that one interception that which means about the only

1642
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 4: interception that was his fault this year the first drive.

1643
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 4: So we can't have any of those. He's got to

1644
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 4: play Darna Air a perfect game for this to happen.

1645
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 2: All right, last one I got for you, Okay, Kobe

1646
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 2: Bryant has earned a role in this team even when

1647
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: Rayshawn Jenkins return.

1648
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 4: WOU you usually don't give up starting spots unless the

1649
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 4: guy's clearly earned that spot.

1650
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 5: So what do I mean by that? You know, Rayshawan Jenkins.

1651
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 4: I don't want to say he had bust, but he

1652
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,520
Speaker 4: had some bad angle, some giving up some big plays.

1653
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 4: I like Rayshawn Jenkins a lot. I think, no matter what,

1654
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 4: Kobe's gonna find a place on that field, whether that's

1655
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 4: the third safety. At times, he's shown in the run

1656
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 4: game that he's an impact as well. He's downhill when

1657
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 4: he reads things, he's fast with it. Matter of fact,

1658
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 4: the only play that I thought was kind of a

1659
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 4: negative was a positive, and that positive was he came

1660
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 4: down just laid the guy.

1661
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 5: I mean he hit him really hard to run it back.

1662
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 4: I think it was Robinson maybe the other running back,

1663
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 4: but he bounced just enough and the guy he ended

1664
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 4: up having like a thirty yard rock. That was about

1665
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 4: the only negative play I saw from him. So yeah,

1666
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 4: I think Kobe, if he continues this, has earned the

1667
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 4: right to be on that field.

1668
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm with you one hundred percent.

1669
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 2: Great rookie year for Kobe gets hurt towards the end

1670
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 2: of the year. I believe it was a foot or

1671
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:50,879
Speaker 2: something like that. You draft Witherspoon and that's the NFL shuffle.

1672
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 3: Guys kind of get moved around.

1673
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 2: A little bit and if they haven't seen you do

1674
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 2: much lately, not like they forget about you, but they

1675
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 2: give other guys opportunities. He took advantage of it opportunity.

1676
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: I was so happy to see Kobe.

1677
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 3: Bryante do a thing man.

1678
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, I'm with you now, Kobe Bryant is

1679
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 2: going to be on that field more often, even when

1680
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:10,799
Speaker 2: ray Sean returned.

1681
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 3: All right, that was talk. That talk.

1682
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 2: When we come back, we will give you our final

Speaker 5: And uh yeah, so you can listen to a bunch.

1712
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 2: I've been driving with my kids. They're like, Dad, that

1713
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 2: guy sounds like you. I go, really me, does he

1714
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 2: know you sound like you?

1715
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 3: Yeah? Fuddy, yeah, I know that guy. This sounds like

1716
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 3: you all right, man, it's this is gonna be a

1717
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 3: tough game. It's gonna be tough.

1718
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 2: The Bills have a culture that has stood at the

1719
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 2: test of what five maybe six seasons. And when you

1720
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 2: have a franchise quarterback like Josh Allen, you always have

1721
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 2: a chance. And now you've given him a weapon and

1722
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,679
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper, you know you have a chance.

1723
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 3: But I like the hawks chances.

1724
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,879
Speaker 2: I like what they've done when it comes to improving

1725
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 2: their defense. They're getting healthy at the right time, and

1726
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 2: the offense has been pretty consistent other than maybe one

1727
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 2: game this year.

1728
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 3: So how do they get it done.

1729
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 4: Gonna be tough defensively, they're just really well coached. I

1730
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,799
Speaker 4: like some of their players. Now they did say Bernard's

1731
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 4: or one of their linebacks is not gonna play. Yeah,

1732
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 4: that's a big deal.

1733
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 5: He is a really good football player.

1734
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 4: He takes care of the middle of that field in

1735
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 4: the passing game. He's just he's just one of those guys.

1736
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 4: He's so fun to watch. So I'm happy I'm not

1737
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 4: gonna have fun watching him hopefully this week because he

1738
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 4: say he's got an ankle.

1739
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 5: It's tough.

1740
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 4: They do some timely blitzes right where it's just you go,

1741
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,799
Speaker 4: oh okay, really good. We'll do like a delay blitz,

1742
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 4: you know, just let you slide away at the right time.

1743
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 4: So or a back is looking as soon as he

1744
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 4: who's you know, boom and goes to the wide route

1745
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 4: that they'll send somebody. It's we're gonna have to work

1746
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 4: for everything on this thing. So but we're capable. I

1747
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 4: mean again, I like our talent. I think we're getting

1748
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 4: better again at the offensive line. Tough game, I mean

1749
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 4: I pretty simple, man, don't give a big plays. Win

1750
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 4: the turnover battle. You know, there's five plays each game

1751
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 4: that are critical moments. You gotta win three of those five.

1752
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 4: It's a really good match I think between Geno Smith

1753
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. Great opportunity because that man I'm being so

1754
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 4: it's got taken a little heat on X, you know,

1755
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 4: defending Gino and people say, well, Josh Allen, I go,

1756
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 4: Josh Allen's a great player. Yeah, I'm not saying he's

1757
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 4: not Lamar Jackson. Great players to be a really good

1758
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 4: one for Gino to shine.

1759
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 2: You know what I how I described Gino was that

1760
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 2: he is good.

1761
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 3: For this team.

1762
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 2: This situation it's it works for him, just like Rock

1763
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 2: Party is good for his Lamar is good for theirs.

1764
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,680
Speaker 2: There are some guys who are physically more talented, but

1765
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 2: I think the more the NFL changes, the more we're

1766
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 2: seeing just be good.

1767
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:05,799
Speaker 3: For your situation.

1768
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 2: Jared Goff is a top three quarterback in the league

1769
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 2: right now, and when you look at his attributes, what

1770
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 2: he brings to the table, and you line him up

1771
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:14,919
Speaker 2: against some of the best.

1772
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 3: You're not gonna pick him first. You're not gonna pick

1773
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 3: him second, maybe not even top five. But for what

1774
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 3: the Lions are asking him to do, he's good for that.

1775
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 2: That's the way I look at Gino, and Gino's getting better,

1776
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 2: and he's thirty four years old and he's getting better.

1777
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 2: The question this weekend for me, Paul, who's gonna step

1778
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 2: up if DK doesn't play?

1779
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 3: What does this offense look like if DK doesn't play?

1780
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 2: Because he has the most twenty yard receptions in the

1781
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 2: game right now, He's got eleven, the most twenty yard

1782
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 2: receptions and that threat does something to a defense. So

1783
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking at jsm Lockett, maybe Laviska Bobo and saying

1784
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 2: who's gonna step up? And how does the absence, the

1785
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:51,719
Speaker 2: potential absence of.

1786
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 3: DK affect the way that Greb calls a ball game.

1787
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,759
Speaker 4: I've seen Gino do this before and he just says,

1788
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 4: what do you get?

1789
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 5: I think Gena is one of the smarter quarterbacks in

1790
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 5: the league.

1791
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 4: I think the way that he analyzes the defense quickly, Gino,

1792
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 4: it can't. I'm just I would love for people to

1793
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 4: just go and watch film and let me coach this

1794
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 4: thing out. Watch yes, so I can really show what

1795
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 4: he's looking at and how he moves his feet and

1796
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 4: the amount of pressure that comes that he still avoids

1797
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 4: and gets the ball out. He will take it as.

1798
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 5: Long as he needs to.

1799
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 4: So, in other words, if you give me five seconds,

1800
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let the place extend. If I got to

1801
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 4: get rid of this thing in one point eight second,

1802
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 4: I know where to go with it. You know. Again,

1803
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 4: the challenge the times he gets in trouble and it's

1804
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 4: not necessarily his fault is you've taken away everything quick

1805
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 4: and there's got pressure and sometimes he's not sure where

1806
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 4: to go with that.

1807
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 5: But not many quarterbacks do.

1808
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 4: So, Yeah, this is I think if you don't have DK,

1809
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 4: I think this is a beautiful grub. Gino game plan

1810
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 4: to gather and you go where the ball goes nobody knows. Yeah,

1811
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 4: and by the way, give me a heavy dose of running,

1812
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 4: heavy dose because he Canine is a weapon. Canine is

1813
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 4: a big play guy. They talk about big plays twenty

1814
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:19,759
Speaker 4: yards or more in the past game. Canine has that ability.

1815
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 4: If we can get to him into the second left.

1816
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 4: So I think that'll be good. I'm excited to see

1817
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 4: what we do.

1818
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 2: Canine hasn't had a one hundred yard games this week

1819
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 2: one against Denver and uh, I think he's uh, he's overdue.

1820
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 3: You got to get this man the ball.

1821
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 2: And I think with the offensive line taking steps in

1822
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 2: the red direction, we'll see if the start this week,

1823
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 2: how how much Haines is involved in the game plan.

1824
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 3: They might They might be due, Moyer, they might be

1825
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 3: due for a big one. Feeling good, all right, Hey,

1826
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 3: well my man, feeling good? Moy Yeah.
