And we've got a We've got a 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: chance to talk to one of our best friends today, Buck. Yeah. 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: Exciting podcast. I kind of like what we have on tap. 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the preview of Week nine NFL games. 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: We can talk to your buddy Bruce Fellman, get his 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: insight on some of the players that will make their 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: way to the league, but better yet, some of the 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: coaches that could make their way to the NFL. And 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: then we'll go through college football and we will pick 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: week ten. I need to have a good week. I 15 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: need to get back. You need to bounce back. You 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: came out so strong this year, but there were dialed 17 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: I used up all my gas. I used up all 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: the gas too soon. So right now I'm I'm working 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: on eight seven octane. I gotta get back Falcon super 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Bowl that that those picks man huge lead early. I know, 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: I gotta get back. You get back on track. Plenty 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: of play, A game left, plentyball game left. Uh, let's 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: let's jump in because we got a lot to cover here. 24 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: I said, let's just jump in and uh and start 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: with our NFL game previews kind of what the storyline 26 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: we're keeping an eye on in each in every NFL 27 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: game this weekend. Cool. Let's do it Bears that Bills. 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: This one's pretty simple for me, Bucky. If you're looking 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: at from a Bear standpoint, just protect the football. You 30 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: protect the football. Make the Bills drive the length of 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: the field. They're not going to be able to do 32 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: it with their offense right now, so don't give them 33 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: a short field. No booboos on special teams. Protect the football, nothing, 34 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: nothing out, nothing too fancy here for the Chicago Bears 35 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: and their offensive game plan. If you need to win 36 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: this game fourteen to seven, win at fourteen to seven. 37 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: But I think I'd be a little bit conservative if 38 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: I was coaching Aggy there. I mean, you're talking about 39 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: being a conservative. You have a ton of weapons. You 40 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 1: got a quarterback that is playing and get a decent level. 41 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: You have weapons on the outside. I'm the Buffalo Bills. 42 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: I don't have any of that available and I have 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback that doesn't have a lot of confidence. The 44 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: main thing that I would do is upload Nathan eat 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: him in to the side, and I'll say, look, just 46 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: don't lose the game. Like if we just have to 47 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: handle ball off and throw some swing passes until you're comfortable, 48 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: don't lose the game. Give us a chance in the 49 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: first half to come out after halftime with the game 50 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: being in range. If they do that, they could have 51 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: a shot. Plus they're playing at home. But it's all 52 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: about Nathan Peterman. He cannot lose the game in the 53 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: first quarter. Buccaneers that Panthers. Oh. I talked about the 54 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: Bears being conservative, not the Buccaneers. Not with fits magic 55 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: back running the show here. Let's be aggressive. Let's challenge vertically. 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: Come out guns of blazing. Uh hey, you might as 57 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: well empty the bucket. Man. It's it's all on the line. 58 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 1: This team has got to get to the postseason. They've 59 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: got to find their way there. You don't tiptoe around, 60 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: you'd be very aggressive. I think you'll see a vertical 61 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: passing game early and often from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 62 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: in this one. Well, I'm sure you'll see a vertical 63 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: passing game because that's what they do. They pushed the 64 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: ball down to feel more than any other team in 65 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: the National Football League. James Ryan Fitzpatrick. It doesn't matter. 66 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: Dirt cut A likes to dial it up. I'm the 67 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Is the best way to neutralize that offense 68 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: is to keep him on the sideline. Run the ball. 69 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Allowed Christian McCaffrey and Cam Newton to be factors in 70 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: the run game. Look for the shots when the shots 71 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: are there. The Bucks defense and their past defensive particular, 72 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: has struggled containing and keeping the ball in front of 73 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: the defense. Run and run and run it for a 74 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: deep That is the recipe for win. Chief Sap Brown 75 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. This is this is what I'm looking 76 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: for this weekend. Andy Reid is the king of the 77 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: screen game. He's got a million different screens he can 78 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: throw at you. And Greg Williams he's been giving the 79 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: keys to the car. By the way, congratulations to great Williams. 80 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: He decided that he was going to accept this head 81 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: coaching position. Come on, offered four were letters like, Hey, 82 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: don't even interview just the guy. You're the guy. I 83 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: mean that it's the single that's the silliest thing. I've 84 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: everybody likes to have options, Buck, so he just like 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: so e left. So there's just only you know, there's 86 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: only twenty one jobs that would be interested in. Unfortunately, 87 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: the eleven other ones I have no interest in whatsoever. 88 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: I'm holding out for one of those. Oh what's that 89 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I can be the defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns 90 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: who have won one game. Sure, yes, that's the job 91 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I want. I've turned down these eleven head coaching jobs 92 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: though this wasn't the right fit. That's all right. I 93 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: was just a side note. But I'm telling you Greg 94 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: Williams getting the keys and being the head coach of 95 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: this team, he is all you talking about, all gas, 96 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: no breaks. I mean, he is going to dial everything up, 97 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: and I guarantee you that Andy Reid will catch them 98 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: and all said naked instead of naked, let's just go naked. 99 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: He'll He'll catch them naked in the back end on 100 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: a screen in this game and they will be bust 101 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: and there will be a seventy plus yard touchdown on 102 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: a screen. That's what I'm calling. I mean the tail 103 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: tale sign. When you're watching the defense, are they playing 104 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: out of their shoes, meaning are they leaning on the 105 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: tiptoes so much because they're coming down? He'll that you 106 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: know that you can get them, Andy Reid. If if 107 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: I know Andy, will you talk about screens? You may 108 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: see five or X screens in the first quarter because 109 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: Greg Williams is going to dial up every fancy bliss 110 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: that he's always wanted to run. But the head coaches 111 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: vetoed you go see him all, and you'll see him 112 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: all in the first quarter. Man, look for the Kancity 113 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs to attack them and take advantage of the aggressiveness 114 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: by using misdirection and deception to go at him. If 115 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: I'm the Browns, it's about making Baker Mayfield comfortable. I 116 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: like the higher run Linley. Ryan Lindley will work with 117 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: running backs entitle, but he's going to work with Baker Mayfield. 118 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: I think he gives them a sounding board for Baker Mayfield. 119 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Look for the Browns to maybe play better, but I 120 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: don't know if they can get a win against the Chiefs. 121 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: Hello Jets at Dolphins, Well look the Jets, I mean, 122 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: gosh buck, they just don't have a lot of firepower offensively. 123 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: When you look at him, the one the one bright 124 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: spot has been hearned in the tight end, so maybe 125 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: you try and keep feeding him. You got Dean tay Burnett, Uh, 126 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: the undrafted rookie had a nice game last week. Who 127 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: knows Sam Donald very well from their time at USC. 128 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: Maybe trying to pepper him the ball get him going 129 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: a little bit. But I do think they've got to 130 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: come out even with what they have, and they've got 131 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: to try and kind of loosen it up a little bit. 132 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: Just they're not gonna score enough points unless they play 133 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive offensively. So there might be 134 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: some turnovers that come with that with Sam Donald, But 135 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: to me, you've got to open it up a little 136 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: bit against the Dolphins. Yeah, they have to open up 137 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: because I don't know if they can score enough points 138 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. They have to get back to winning 139 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: with their paper cut style on offense. A lot of screens, 140 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: a lot of trick plays, a lot of gimmis and gadgets. Uh, 141 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: nothing that you necessarily can hang your hat on. But 142 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: this has been their offense and I think they have 143 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball. Kenyan Drake, Frank 144 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: Gore find a way to run the ball to compliment 145 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: some of the gimmis and gadget plays that they're gonna use. 146 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: If they do that, I think they can put a 147 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: twenty one spot on the Jets. And if they get 148 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: twenty one on the board, I think it's hard for 149 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: the get to score more than that. Steelers at Ravens 150 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: always a physical affair when these two get together. To me, 151 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: this comes down to the Steelers pass rush getting home. 152 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: We saw the pressure they were able to generate last 153 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: week on the Cleveland Browns, getting lots of free run throughs, 154 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: even rushing four or five guys with the creative pass rush. 155 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: I think that's the key to this one. I don't 156 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: think the Ravens are gonna be able to really run 157 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: the ball all that much. Uh So, to me, it's 158 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: about not only generating pressure, getting home and finishing. That 159 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: will be the key for the Steelers defense. Yeah, for 160 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens, it's all about Joe Flacco. How Joe Flacco plays, 161 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: That's how the game kind of goes for their offense 162 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: and their team in general. But the way that you 163 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: can help Joe Flacco, man, you have to run the ball. 164 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,239 Speaker 1: You have to being committed to run the ball. Alice 165 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: Collins needs to have uh some effect when it comes 166 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: to running because the Russia attempts will then change the 167 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: way the Stills have to play defense. This is all 168 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: about running the football, being committed so Joe Flacco can 169 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: get some opportunities to throw it over the top. Good 170 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: Lions that Vikings like. For the Lions, it's just maintaining 171 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: that balance offensively. They have been able to run the 172 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: ball much better this year with Carrie on Johnson. You 173 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: want to be balanced going on the road against the 174 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. I'll say creativity in the run game too, uh, 175 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: just just trying to switch things up, but stay committed 176 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 1: to the run game. You're not getting a pass happy 177 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: affair against this Vikings defense as they're starting to get 178 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: some pieces back and get healthy. I don't think you 179 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: want to drop back if youre Matthew Stafford and throw 180 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: it forty five times in this game. No, I definitely 181 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: don't think you want to get into that. But you know, 182 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to see how the offense runs without 183 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: going to take to know Kenny Galladay will get an 184 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: opportunity to play more. But when I look at the 185 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: Vikings defense, I like what they have at corner I 186 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: like how they can put their hands on your Xavier 187 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Rose will now have the opportunity to go somewhere to 188 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: really snuff out their new no More receiver, who assume 189 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: will be Marvin Jones. I think it's tough sledding for 190 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions offensively for the Vikings, they still can't 191 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: put so much on Kurk Cousins shoulders. He has been 192 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: having to do it without any kind of running game. 193 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: It comes down to the running game a little bit. 194 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: Someone has to step up with Tavis Murray um. He 195 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: has to be a factor on the ground so they 196 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: then can get the one on one that they want 197 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: on the outside to Adam Thieland and Stefan Dicks. Falcons 198 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: that Redskin Fast start, Fast start Falcons. That's the key here. 199 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Get off to a fast start. This Redskins team is 200 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: winning a lot of football games. They're protecting the football. 201 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: Their defense has has found a way to control the 202 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and dominate games. You saw him just 203 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: absolutely whip up on the Giants upfront last week. But 204 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: if you're the Falcons, if you can get out get 205 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: fourteen on the board, quick, put this Redskins team and 206 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: chase mode, make them put the ball up in the 207 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: air and be a little bit out of their comfort zone. 208 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: I think that's the key and this one fast start 209 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: for Atlanta. Oh yeah, Washington Redskins. We don't want to 210 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: put the ball in the air. We want to hand 211 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: it to twenty six. We want to give it to 212 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, who is really dusting off the vintage Adrian 213 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: Peterson that we used to see. And he has been there. Guy. Look, 214 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: he has almost had uh four or five one hundred 215 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: yard games, narrowly missed it on two occasions, and he 216 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: has given them an identity with his physical running style. 217 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: So if I'm the ridsk is, nothing changes. We're gonna 218 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: run the ball, We're gonna play defense. Those two factors 219 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: are the key to a success. Wahaha, Clinton Dick's coming over. 220 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: I think the defense plays even better. I like the 221 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: Skins in this one. Hello Texans. That Broncos to Marius 222 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: Thomas will be looking forward to this game. Quick turnaround. Huh, 223 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: you'll play his former team there in the Denver Broncos. 224 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: But I actually think the key to this game is 225 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: which pass rush can get loose? Uh? Probably two of 226 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: the more dynamic defensive fronts in terms of getting after 227 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback in the league. And you talk about pairs 228 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: with the Texans when J. J. Watt is rolling and 229 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: Clowney's rolling, And then you look over on the other 230 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: side with the Broncos with von Miller and the young 231 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: kid there and Bradley Chubb. Which which pass rush can 232 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: can control this game, can control the line of scrimmage, 233 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: can get the most pressure. I think will go a 234 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: long way to decide it. The only difference is in 235 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: the Texans favor is once that pass rush heats up, 236 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: they got a quarterback they can get out of the way. 237 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: They do have a quarterback who can get out of 238 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: way for the Broncos. And this this is a tough 239 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: one because I think this is a critical game for 240 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Vans Joseph. They're playing at home. Uh, we've seen them 241 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: begin to auction off players. The next thing to go 242 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: is the coach. They have to step up and have 243 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: a huge performance. I just know defensively, if they're good enough. 244 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: I know we talked about von Miller and we still 245 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: kind of wax poetic about this defense. They haven't just 246 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: played well. So I think it comes down in the 247 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: case Kingdom and how will he plays if he has 248 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: a couple of giveaways to Houston Texas When this in 249 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: a runaway Chargers that seas Yeah, this is simple from 250 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: the Chargers standpoint. I'll be up there calling this game. Buck. 251 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: They've got to stop the run. Seattle has run the ball. 252 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: We've talked about it a bunch of the formula for 253 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks run the football, throw it fewer than than 254 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: thirty times, and that's been their form. They're protecting the 255 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: ball as Russell Wilson has done. But you can upset 256 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: that whole formula if you can stop the run, particularly 257 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: on first down. Uh, that's gonna be huge for this 258 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: Chargers defense. Guys like Corey Legion, Brandon Me and company 259 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: need to do a good job against the run. It's 260 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: funny that you talk about the run game because for 261 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks this all about the run, and the run 262 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: has been of late led by Chris Carson. I think 263 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: now you're gonna see a little Mike Davis. The big 264 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: thing for the Seattle Seahawks. The magic number is always thirty. 265 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: When they get the thirty Russian attempts, that means that 266 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: they're playing the kind of game that they want to play. 267 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: And even though they have an m v P caliber 268 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: quarterback in Russell Wilson, we're seeing that less is more 269 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Less rust passing, more big physical runs 270 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: leads two ws for the CTL Seahawks. Let's see if 271 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: they can top that magic number they give thirty plus 272 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: Russi attempts. That means the Seahawks win because they're controlling 273 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: the game. Rams. That says, well, this is gonna be 274 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: a fun one. I mean, we've got a great slate 275 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: of games. The next two we're gonna talk about being 276 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: the most intriguing. But to me, the Rams the key 277 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: to this one. I think of the line of scrimmage, 278 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: the Saints offensive line is really good. We know about 279 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: how good Aaron Donald and Dominican, Sue and the company are. 280 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: For that Rams defensive line, I'm gonna say this second 281 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: level of the Rams defense in this game is gonna 282 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: be huge linebackers because they're gonna be tasked with with 283 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: chasing these running back sideline to sideline with with Camara 284 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: and Ingram. And then also we're gonna have to show 285 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: up in coverage a little bit because they can get 286 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: those backs and and uh and tight ends and working 287 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: in the middle field with those slot receivers. They're gonna 288 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: be tax in a big way in this game. So 289 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: a lot was made in the off season about, you know, 290 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: the linebacker position for the Rams. As loaded as they 291 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: are at the front and the back, what's that group 292 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: look like. Uh, they'll be They'll be tested in this one. 293 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: They certainly will be tested the New Orleans Saints in 294 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: these games. As much as we talk about Drew Brees, 295 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: they are a ball controlled offense. They will run the ball, 296 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: they would give the ball to and forty one. They 297 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: don't discriminate in terms of who gets what and how 298 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: they get it. I think this is one of those 299 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: kind of games. I think this is a game where 300 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: rather than try and have a shootout with the Rams, 301 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: you want to grind it, you want to control it. 302 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: You kind of want to play a slug fest, make 303 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: them playing the phone booth. I think that Bowls will 304 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: for the Saints because, in my estimation, their offensive line 305 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: is playing better the any other unit in football. Because 306 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: they can control the trenches. It allows them to dictate 307 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: the terms from the offense to the defense. Packers that 308 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: Patriots well for the Packers. Buck. This is uh, this 309 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: is simple. We saw the Patriots use this formula against 310 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs to hand them their only loss 311 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: of the year. That was red zone defense and maybe 312 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: get a turnover too. Red zone offense for the Packers 313 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: is the key. They're gonna move the ball between the 314 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: twenties against this Patriots defense, I have no doubt. But 315 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: they have got to finish drives or you're playing against 316 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Threes aren't gonna get it. You gotta get sevens. 317 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: So to me, I would even look at at four 318 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: downs once you get inside the ten fifteen yard line. 319 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to see any thirty yard 320 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: field goals after the Green Bay Packers. You have to 321 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: be aggressive, use all four downs and finish drives if 322 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna win on the road at Foxboro. Not an 323 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: easy task. No, it's definitely not an easy test. And 324 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: I think if you're the Patriots, a lot of it 325 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: depends on who is available in the backfield. We saw 326 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: last week they played without a legitimate running back. They 327 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: had to put the Cardero Patterson in there, and it 328 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: affected the time and in the flow, in the rhythm 329 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: of the offense. When this offense has been at his best, 330 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: as when Sony Mitchelle was able to come in in 331 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: their twenty one personnel their old school formations. Run the football, 332 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: throw to James White on the backfield, then find a 333 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: hot playmaker on the perimeter. It could be Josh Gordon, 334 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: Julian Element, Rob Gronkowski. Find one of those guys to 335 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: feed and work their matchup. It's the same for the 336 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: Patriots each week, find a way to get it done. 337 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: Who will stop up and be the critical factor? I 338 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: think it has to be someone in their running back stable. 339 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: Hell Titans, that Cowboys for the Titans, don't give up 340 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: big place. Uh. Having a chance to see this team 341 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: in person over in London against the Charger, it's just, 342 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of big plays out of one 343 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: play drive first to first play the game Tyrone Williams 344 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: home run ball and then there was a three play 345 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: drive with a long touchdown past to Mike Williams. So 346 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: make the Dallas Cowboys drive the length of the field 347 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: and and don't give up. Those ex blows of plays 348 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: will be big for the Titans that they're gonna win 349 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: on Monday Night. Oh for the Dallas Cowboys all about 350 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: showing off the new shiny toy or Marie Cooper has 351 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: been there for like a week and a half. He 352 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: has been running through all this stuff. He is ready 353 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: to go, so you want to make sure that you 354 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: showcase him in the passing game. You also want to 355 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: showcase hudson house work with the offensive line. Quietly, the 356 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: offensive line has been the cowboys biggest issue. Everyone appoint 357 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: the deck, but they haven't been able to control the 358 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: line of screamers like they had in the past. He 359 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: fixes the offensive lines, Z can run the ball, then 360 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: you have see a very very comfortable deck. Prescott throwing 361 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: too a Marie Cooper, I like the way the Cowboys 362 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: are trending. We'll see if we get their visual evidence 363 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: on Monday night. Because of the flurry of trades, I 364 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: feel like that that kind of got swept under the rug. 365 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: Not a lot was talked about the Dallas Cowboys making 366 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: a change the offensive line. Coach just spot there. Very 367 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: unusual in the middle of the season to see an 368 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: offensive line coach be jettison for a new one. But 369 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: they could move the ball the ball. It's just it's unusual. 370 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: You don't see that very often. All Right.

You see him on TV 393 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: each and every week, Patrol on the sidelines to some 394 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: of the top college football games and uh and really 395 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: one of the best writers in the business as well 396 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: on the Athletic and Bruce, I want to start off 397 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: with with your latest article, your big project you worked on, 398 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: which was fascinating. Going back to that game between Texas 399 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: Tech and Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield and Pat Mahomes. We're going 400 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: to see the Chiefs and the Browns square off this week, 401 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: but that will go down as an all time college game, 402 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: and you had a front row seat. I did. Yeah, 403 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: it was actually the first game I was a sideline 404 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: reporter with the Cremewood Now with Joe Davison, Brady Quinn 405 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: and I usually get out on the field like two 406 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: and a half three hours before kickoff. And from the 407 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: time I got out there, you could hear this chance 408 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: brewing and it was building and it was loud, and 409 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: usually you can't usually make out what a chance is 410 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: exactly right away. This one was clear. It was leap you, Baker, 411 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: except it wasn't the beleef. I didn't just see Baker 412 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: Mayfield make his first game back in Lubbock. And the 413 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: crazy thing is so I spent about a month working 414 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: on this project for the Athletic I can talk to 415 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: tons of people on on on all sides of this game, 416 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: and the one thing everybody agreed on. Talked to a 417 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: lot of Oklahoma people and talked to Cliff Kingsbury and 418 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys on his staff who know Baker 419 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: makes it really well. They're like, that's probably not a 420 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: good move. You're playing right into his hands, gonna eat 421 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: this up and spit it back in your face. And 422 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: that's what he did. I mean, it was a ridiculous 423 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: night of offense, eight hundred fifty four total yards exactly 424 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: for both teams. UM and it was crazy. It was 425 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: It was four hours and ten minutes of a roller 426 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: coaster ride. No. You know, like everyone kind of knows 427 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: that about Baker did his personalities. He kind of feeds 428 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: off of kind of being the villain. Um he loves 429 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: that role. He we saw it when it played out 430 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: last year in Ohio State. UM ain't going forward? What 431 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: about the other guy? Because we never really hear stories 432 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: about Pat Mahomes. How is he in an environment like 433 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: that that is intensely competitive and they're going back and forth? 434 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: Is he a guy that looks to the other side 435 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: and says, hey, I can want up you Baker. I 436 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: think he does it more subtly. Um that. Some of 437 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: the cool things about this was, you know, we did 438 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: that game, and I knew that that Mahomes was playing 439 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: with a severely sprained shoulder and then bothering him for 440 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: about a month. He had that. Never mind, he threw 441 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: eighty eight passing the game. But Cliff Kingsbury told me, 442 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: and nobody knew this, he broke his wrist in that game, 443 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: so you know he he almost runs for a hundred yard. 444 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: He was playing with a broken wrist. One of his 445 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: his go to receiver that night. He is a guy 446 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: named Jonathan Giles who transferred to L s U and 447 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: I talked to him last week and I said, did 448 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: you know Patrick actually broke his wrist in that game? 449 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: He goes he did. I had no idea. They were like, yeah, 450 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: just tape it up, and I think the whole thing. 451 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: You know, one thing that was fun about this format, 452 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: this whole history uh story, was you can kind of 453 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: go down roads that you probably couldn't if you were 454 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: telling just a straight story. So I was able to 455 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: get into the recruiting of Patrick Mahomes and how he 456 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: was found. I mean, yeah, he was attent pick in 457 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: the draft, but he was only a three star guy, 458 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: and Cliff Kingsbury really was the only one who was 459 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: offering him. And so Kingsbury said they had got his 460 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: their old old line coach who recruited these sexes for 461 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: them at a and m said, hey, this kid, this 462 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: is Pat Pat Mahomes, a kid, you know, former baseball player, 463 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: pitcher in the majors. How hard do I need to 464 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: recruit this kid? Cliff looked at the tape like them. 465 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: But then Cliff went to Texas Tech and begin the 466 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: head coach, Jake Spavital comes in to follow Cliff and 467 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: see him, and he's like, man, we were this kid's 468 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: really talented, but he looks more like a developmental guy, 469 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: but he could be really specially is fun to watch. 470 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: Everything's just kind of there's a lot going on here. 471 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: But they had Kyle all and they thought they could 472 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: get number one quarterback recruiting the country, and he said, 473 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, in retrospect, you make that decision because you see, 474 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: we could get Christian Kirk if we get Kyle Allen, 475 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: we can And they just rattled off like ten names 476 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: that have probably come then because you've got Kyle Allen, 477 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: the recruiting poll that he had, uh where they thought 478 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: mahomes a little more of a developmental guy. And to 479 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: see how he has has blown up from there. Obviously 480 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: ridiculous arm, talent, really strong. And I think the thing 481 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: that's that's probably lost in some of them, at least 482 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: by a lot of us in college media, was how 483 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: smart he was, but also how physically tough he was. 484 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he had guys that night, three and thirty 485 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: pound guys around the waist and they were just falling 486 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: off on and he would to take two steps forward 487 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: and connect on the twenty yard paths across the field 488 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: and can convert a third as well. That happened time 489 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: and time again that night. Well, it is a it 490 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: is a great piece of work. I encourage everybody to 491 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: jump on if you have a subscription to the Athletic 492 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: jump on there and read Bruce's article about these two 493 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history, and we'll get a chance to 494 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 1: see him on NFL field uh this week. Bruce, I 495 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: want to I want to kind of use a good 496 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: chunk of our time today to talk I want to 497 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: talk about some college coaches and guys that could potentially 498 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: go to the NFL and what you you think of 499 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: these guys haven't been around him. But before we get 500 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: to the coaches real quick. UM, always like to pick 501 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: your brain and get some names. So you've been on 502 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: the sidelines teaching every week this season. Just some of 503 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: the more impressive kids for us to keep an eye 504 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: on as we as we keep our eye towards the 505 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Some of the impressive guys you've seen this 506 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: full Yeah, you know, we've been in the big ten 507 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: of decent amount. I like, you know guys who kind 508 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: of jumped out to me this this year. Chase Young, 509 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: you gotta wait for another year. He's only a sophomore 510 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: at defensive lineman at at Ohio State. He is really long, 511 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: and he is really uh he's pretty dynamic athlete. You know. Uh, 512 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: the coaches there, Great Shannon told me he reminds him 513 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: a lot of Julius Peppers. I think he's only going 514 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: to keep growing. I think he's a he's a special player. Uh. 515 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: You know, we had Wisconsin Northwestern last week. There's a 516 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: they have a cornerback at Northwestern. I don't know if 517 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: he's going to be a pure cornerback in the NFL. 518 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: But Monterrey Hartage is a guy who had he had 519 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: He was committed to Georgia Southern until signing day and 520 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: he actually somebody else. He committed Northwestern. He was the 521 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: top available guy on the recruiting board. The said, let's 522 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: offer this kid. The kids signed with Northwestern without ever 523 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: visiting the school. He's a physical kid. And you guys 524 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: know Felton Davis eighteen, number eight team from Michigan State. 525 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: He's a good receiver, he's a pretty looking athlete. This 526 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: kid really handled one on one Felton Davis. I think again, 527 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's a first round pick. 528 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: You guys can speak on that better than certainly than me. 529 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,959 Speaker 1: But I think he's a really good player and he's 530 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: actually he's somebody I didn't know much of and you know, 531 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: watched him last week. He's I think he's a big 532 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: time player, you know. And and sticking right there because 533 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: you have been so close to Ohio State um Nick 534 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: Bosa has already announced and declare that he's coming out 535 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: for the draft. What is zactly could teams be getting 536 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: when they take on a Nick Boson. You know, you 537 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: know he talked to Larry Johnson, has produced more D 538 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: lineman for the NFL than any D line coach working 539 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: in college football right now, and he just raves about 540 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: how flexible that kid. Now, he's not quite as all 541 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: as his brother, but he is more polished than his 542 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: brother is. He came out. I think he came into 543 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State more advanced. Um, you know, you're talking about 544 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: a really, really explosive kid who loves to play the run. 545 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: I think this is I didn't this is gonna be 546 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: a draft lass that they have a dozen first round 547 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: the lineman. My guess is he would probably be, depending 548 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: on how his health checks out. I'm guessing he would 549 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: be the first guy. I think he is about as 550 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: close to a camp miss physically as you're gonna get, 551 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: just because he's really good pressure in the past, or 552 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: he's really good against the run. And I think his 553 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: attention to detail, Uh, from everything that they've told me 554 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: there was unlike anything they've had. A year ago. He 555 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: was really really good. And then in the off season 556 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: they said he just really picks up stuff so fast 557 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: technique wise. Uh, they said they haven't even seen anybody 558 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: like him. The only one Shiano could compare him to 559 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: who he said he's been He had Gerald McCoy. He said, 560 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: he's not He's not the same kind of player, but 561 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: in terms of impact, dominant presence, he said, that's about 562 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: as good as I've seen. And that's and that's a kid. 563 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: And Larry Johnson says similar about him. I know last 564 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: year going to uh that my round of Bowl games 565 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: I went to and talking to some people at Ohio State, Bruce, They, 566 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, asking about all the different quarterbacks as they 567 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: were getting ready to face Donald there in the Cotton Bowl, 568 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: and of all the guys they had seen on tape 569 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: and played against, and they just raved about Baker Mayfield 570 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: and how tough he was to to defend, and just 571 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: went on and on and on and said, basically was 572 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: like trying to defend a video game. It was impossible. 573 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: Have you have you had any conversations. I mean, it 574 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: seems like we don't have that same star studded group 575 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks this year, but there are there any quarterbacks 576 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: generating some buzz among the coaches that you're talking to 577 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: around the country. One of them is similar. You mentioned 578 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: Baker he's not as thick as Baker, And I said, guy, 579 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: you guys are seen in person who people really are 580 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: impressed by. That's Trace McSorley. He is Uh. I would 581 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: guess traces six D maybe not even two hundred, you know, 582 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: but he is UM. He plays in an interesting system. 583 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: They take shots, a lot of shots. He's a really 584 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: good downfield thrower. He's ultra competitive. Uh. He does. He 585 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: hasn't played with a great oldline. Obviously he's at se Kwan. 586 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: He's got some big athletic receivers. You can go get it, Um, 587 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: but he has one. When you talk to coaches, they say, 588 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, I talked to Jimmy Lake who played him 589 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: in the bowl game, and talked to UH, talked to 590 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: the Ohio State guys. They say he's even as good 591 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: as we and the media have hyped him up. They 592 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: think he's even better than that. So he's one that 593 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: that really UH really jumps out. I think as a surprise, 594 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: maybe because a lot of people think he's just a 595 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: good college quarterback. And depending on how well I think 596 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: his sixth I don't know his success, but his maybe 597 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: draft prospects I think would be tied to Baker a 598 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: little bit because again he's not as thick as Baker, 599 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: but he's he's about the same height, and he's put 600 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: up a lot of good films. And you know, in 601 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: Hangible's wise, they love him. I mean, talk to Ricky 602 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: Ronnie who has been the quarterback coach, had been around 603 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: him and recruited him from there. It's a tough kid. 604 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: I mean, they could not speak higher about a player 605 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: than they do about about Trace McSorley. You know, it's 606 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: funny because we just had you talk about players going 607 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: to the league. It appears that some college coaches may 608 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go to the league. Um, I 609 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: think without question we have to talk about Lincoln Riley 610 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: and Oklahoma and how you feel Lincoln Riley would make 611 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,239 Speaker 1: the transition from college to the NFL if he had 612 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity. I think he would do well because he's 613 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: so smart. His attention to detail and his memory and 614 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: kind of recall is at a really, really high level. 615 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot that reminds me of the guy who's 616 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: out here with the Rams, who's tearing it up. You know, 617 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: he simply he and McVeigh are a similar age. Also, 618 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, off the chart's ability to recall situations and 619 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: that has you know, real game game planning and game 620 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: application which works. I think he understands players really well. 621 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: You look at how he handled Baker and knew like 622 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: he let Baker have that chip on his shoulder and 623 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: was able to manage it really, really well. The point 624 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people maybe don't have 625 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: a great read on is he has the right now. 626 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: He is working for the best A d and all 627 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: the college sports and Joe Caspiglione at Oklahoma. That is 628 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: a great situation. You know, the Young family. I think 629 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: he knows that they are built to dominate a dominate 630 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: the Big twelve or at least be a powerhouse in 631 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: there for a long time. He's recruiting well, I think 632 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: he knows I could go to the NFL if I 633 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: want to down the road, Um, does you really want 634 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: to reunite with Baker in this situation if he had 635 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 1: the opportunity, I don't know. Would he be tempted if 636 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys opened up and chased him. I think that 637 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: would probably have to He'd have to think about it. 638 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: But right now I think he knows I can get 639 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: this team into the playoffs. It's not perfect. I gotta 640 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: figure out my defensive coordinator situation everything else, but um, 641 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's in a good situation. The one difference 642 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: between him and McVeigh is McVeigh did spend his whole 643 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: coaching career in the NFL, Lincoln, Din just college all 644 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: the way. So I think he's he's got a lot 645 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: of a lot to figure out after the season. I 646 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: want to go through a list of names with you here, Bruce, 647 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: and just kind of we can go through it rapid fire, 648 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: but just to give me two thoughts on it. Number one, 649 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: do you think he would the name, would ever consider 650 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: it in terms of the NFL? And Number two? Could 651 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: it potentially work in the NFL? You ready? Role, yep, 652 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: let's go. All right, let's go Matt Campbell. I'm I 653 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: think it would work anywhere. He's he's terrific. I'm not 654 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: sure that that that he's what he's thinking that now though. Okay, 655 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: so probably wouldn't consider it, but you think he would 656 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: definitely work there? All right, I want to go to 657 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: a guy you know extremely well. We've seen the air 658 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: ad quarterbacks be successful. Why not go get the king 659 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: of the area and go get Mike Leach, he would 660 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: he ever consider the NFL and be do you think 661 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: it could work? Yes? I absolutely, asolutely think he would 662 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: consider it. Uh, and it would have a better chance 663 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: working now than it would it would have at any 664 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: other time. The question for me is how well would 665 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: he relate to grown men as as as you know, 666 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: people who he works with. I don't know how Mike 667 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: would coach thirty old men with opinions and families, and 668 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, Mike's really stubborn, and I don't know how 669 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: that would work. My guess is I'm not sure it 670 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: would work, to be honest, but um man, I think 671 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: he would jump at it. How about how about a 672 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: couple of guys we talked about that have NFL experience. Obviously, 673 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: Jim Harbo has been uh in the NFL and had 674 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: success there. Do you think hardball would Is that time coming? 675 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: Do you think if Michigan were to win uh, you know, 676 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: get in the playoffs this year when the Big Ten, 677 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: do you think that could be? Uh? It could be 678 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: a time for Jim Harbo to say I've got this 679 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: program back where it needs to be and I can 680 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: and I can move back to the NFL. No I 681 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: think he smells blood in the water now. I think 682 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: he knows that Ohio State, we're not sure what's going 683 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: to happen with Urban and uh, I think he knows 684 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,479 Speaker 1: that he's got some finally got some momentum there. I 685 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: think that's only gonna gonna make him want to want 686 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: to drive at it further to get closer to the 687 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: national title, because I think that's the ultimate goal for him. 688 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: Just just he's won big games at Stanford, he won 689 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: big Bowl of games. He hasn't won a national title 690 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: and he hasn't won a championship. You know, that's to 691 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: me the biggest thing he's got to get done. And 692 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: I think that's probably gonna drive him to just stay there. 693 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you one more here than Bucky. You can 694 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: chime in with some other coaches. Uh, the David Shaw, 695 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean, guy we know really well and and David 696 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: Shaw's done a great job there at Stanford. They're not 697 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: having the best of years. I mean, I just wonder, 698 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: at some point in time, is is this coach wake 699 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: up and say, you know what, We've got a program 700 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: at Stanford that every three or four years we can 701 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: be a top ten program. But I don't know I'm 702 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: ever gonna be able to bring home a national championship here, 703 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: and even though he's he's paid well there at Stanford, 704 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: maybe scratch that itch with the NFL sooner than later. 705 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: What do you think? I think he stayed a little longer. 706 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: I think he knows when the one powerhouse in the 707 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: in the conference that's will kind of ordained the USC 708 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: is down, it's a good time to be in the 709 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: packed well, and I think he knows he can always 710 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: go to the NFL. His kids are still young enough 711 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: where I don't think the move situation would be best 712 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: for him. He knows he's got a great situation, and 713 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: I think that would keep him in power out a 714 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: little longer. Bruce, and surveying the college landscape, is there 715 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: anyone that we're missing that could be on the radar 716 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: of NFL people, but they're not necessarily household names to 717 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: the public. I think Jeff Brown needs to be on 718 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: the radar. That guy's a fantastic offensive mind. He gets 719 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: players to play hard. If you ask me, who are 720 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 1: like the six or seven best coaches in college football 721 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: stick and Jeff Brown's name on there. He knows professional 722 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: football player, he can motivate players, and he is such 723 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: an outside the box creative thinker. I mean to what 724 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: he did last year he beat and he blew out 725 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: in an ultra talented Ohio State team basically loving two 726 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: sticks together. I mean he is he is the real deal, 727 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: and I'm surprised in NFL teams um NFL. NFL people 728 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: have pursued a lot worse than the other name. And 729 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: this one name is the guy you know, but I 730 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: could see him getting a lot of traction as James 731 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: Franklin at Penn's date. He spent a little time up 732 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: at the NFL level. Uh, he's doing really well. I 733 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 1: think he's somebody that will will get a looked as well. 734 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: The other two names that we haven't talked about Matt Rule, 735 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: who got an interview last year it sounded like it 736 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: went great too, and get a chance to to get 737 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: to know him a little bit. He's an impressive guy. 738 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: I know, the you know, the wins and the losses 739 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: aren't gonna blow you away there taking over that nightmare 740 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: at Baylor. But he's a name you here pop up 741 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: every now and then. And the one that me and 742 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: Bucky were kicking around the other day just because we 743 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: selfishly want to see it. I don't think it would 744 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: ever happen. I don't think he would ever do it. 745 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: But man, how fun would it be to see Dana 746 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: uh running an NFL offense? Bruce, Yeah, he's he's a 747 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: rare je man. He's brutally honest, and you know he is. 748 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: He's more eleased than Leach in a lot lot of ways. 749 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: But he's he had just well, I don't I don't 750 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: think he would do it. I don't think any I 751 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: don't see any owner given Dana the keys, because that's 752 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: kind of the point. But the other guy, you know, 753 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: like you were saying, uh, dj every I've never heard 754 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: one bad thing about that rule everybody who meets him, 755 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: it's like this, you know, inside expression. Here comes to 756 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: be the adult in the room. He's always good, Like 757 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: Baylor is very lucky that he decided to go there. 758 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm surprised he did, but they are lucky because he 759 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: was a perfect guy for a really imperfect situation, and 760 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: so I'm not surprised. The interviewed, well, I think he's 761 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: always gonna be on the radarch the matter of you know, 762 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: he's gotten them better from last year, which there was 763 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: no way to go but up, and I think he'll 764 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: continue to do that. But I think at some point 765 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: he'll be back in the NFL. He was with the 766 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: Giants for a little bit. I think down the road 767 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: he'll he'll end up there. I mean that that kind 768 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: of covered the full gamint. I can't imagine anybody else did. 769 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: We could talk about in the college game sending up 770 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: the ranks. What do you think, DJ No, I think 771 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: that's good. I mean, look, we had Bruce with a 772 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: laundry list of names there. Bruce. We always enjoy getting 773 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with you and visit with 774 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 1: you again. I encourage everybody to check out Bruce's article 775 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: there on the Athletic It is outstanding. Which game? Which 776 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: game do you got this week? Bruce? I am going 777 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: to Columbus to go see Nebraska and so Ohio, say 778 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: see how the Buckeyes put the pieces back. I got 779 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: a I was actually there yesterday, uh and flew home 780 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: for a day for trick or treating, but got to 781 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: spend a bunch of time with Dwayne Askins. Really really impressed. 782 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: Your kids just can't say enough good things about after 783 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: spending some time with him and talking to people about 784 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: him so excited to watch that game. Nebraska is starting 785 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: to get it going a little bit. They got Adrian Martinez, 786 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,479 Speaker 1: good young quarterbacks, so it would be a fun, fun game, 787 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: and obviously there's a lot of great games that day. 788 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: Did you do you learn anything more on on Urbans 789 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: in his situation? I know the stuff came out with 790 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: the cyst and the headaches and the health battle that 791 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: he has. You know, the one thing I would add 792 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: to that is so that there was a discussion internally 793 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: about whether he was going to, you know, make it 794 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: public and kind of expand on it then later the week, 795 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: which he obviously did. And I think what kind of 796 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: got to him the most was he got asked a 797 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: bunch of pointed questions at his press conference on Monday, 798 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: and one in particular where it was like Kirk herb 799 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: Street said on the air that you look anguished, and 800 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: I think that made him kind of recoil for a 801 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: bit and go, wait a minute, it's not just people 802 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: on message boards that somebody probably knows me pretty well 803 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: in the media. I gotta do something about this perception. 804 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: And so I don't know, I honestly don't think he 805 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: knows where he's going from here. He's just figuring, I 806 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: gotta fix this because when we lose, we lose bad, 807 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: and we got embarrassed at Ford, and we've never run 808 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: the ball so poorly as we're running it in this stretch. 809 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: I gotta fix it. But going forward, I think it's 810 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: anybody's guests, including his, whether what Irban Meyers doing a 811 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: year from now, well, that will definitely be one of 812 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: the big storylines every football family. Paying attention to Bruce again, 813 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: we can't thank you enough for being so genious with 814 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 1: your time today. I hope you have a fun trip 815 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: of a fun game this weekend. We look forward to 816 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: catching up down the road. Always a pleasure. Guys that 817 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: I learned from my Orchester on the OU Texas Tech game. 818 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: Never have oysters in Amarillo, Texas. Good advice, very good advice. Bruce, 819 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: Thank you, Buddy, Thank you, guys. Buck. That's why I 820 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: love visiting with Bruce because we can get a chance 821 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: to to learn about current NFL players that he's known 822 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: going back to their days in college. We can find 823 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: out about future NFL players because he's tooling around the 824 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: country talking to coaches and watching these games and then 825 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: also the coaching aspect of it. We've already seen one 826 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: firing in the NFL. I'm sure we'll see several more 827 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: at the end of the season. And when we look 828 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: around the NFL trying to find, you know, quality coaching 829 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: candidates and especially guys on the offensive side of the ball, 830 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: which seems to be the way UH the league is trending, 831 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of names, and so I think 832 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 1: we will see a college nam er two at least 833 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: be interviewed and considered for some of these openings eventually 834 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Yeah, I mean, I 835 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: think we definitely will see some of these college coaches 836 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: to get an opportunity to not only interview, but maybe 837 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: one or two of these guys made Land a job. 838 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: When you look at in the National Football League, every 839 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: one wants UH an offensive minded coach, a guy who's 840 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: really good developing quarterbacks. Will When you look at the 841 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: college game, you're seeing freshmen jump onto the field and 842 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: lead their teams to national title contention. So there's something 843 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: that is going on in the lower ranks that is 844 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: going to intrigue owners. We'll see which one of these 845 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: guys will get an opportunity to put their words on 846 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: display in the national football get. All right, are you focused? 847 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Now? Are you I'm kind of ready. 848 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 1: I'm kind of ready. I think I got a good 849 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: feel for what we're doing. If you ask me my 850 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 1: confidence level. Uh, Normally in life I carry about an eight, 851 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: nine or ten. Today with the picts, maybe it's six 852 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: or seven. That's okay, though, we're gonna bring that up 853 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: to like a seven plus eight minus uh with your 854 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: picks to say it's time to do our college picks. Uh. Look, 855 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: I think I had I had a good week last week. 856 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: I put me back in the mix. I'm still still 857 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: off the pace a little bit, but we're we're training 858 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: in the right direction. All right, let's get things going here. 859 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: In the game of the week, Alabama eight no travel 860 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: to l s U seven and one. It's our two 861 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 1: point game the week, Buck. I hate the fact that 862 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: one ls US best players, Demon White, suspended for the 863 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: first half of this game. That that that doesn't help matters. 864 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: That's the difference maker, because that right there would have 865 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: pushed me over the top. I would have been a 866 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: lone wolf in this game. However, I'm gonna go with Alabama. Uh, 867 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: I like l s U down in Death Valley, but 868 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm going with Bama. I think Bama puts it on 869 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: him a little bit. And I was at the last 870 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: time these guys played in Death Valley was down there 871 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: for that game. It was low scoring, and then Alabama 872 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: just found a way to make a couple more plays. 873 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: I think Alabama just has more firepower on offense with 874 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: two great defense is squaring off, So I'll go Alabama. 875 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: Looks like Ken's going Bama. Selly's going Obama. So clean 876 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: sweep there. Uh next one, Uh, Penn State going to 877 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: take on the fighting Jim Harbaughs. I could have made 878 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: a case this could have been a two pointer, but 879 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because it looks like we'rell on the 880 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: same page. You're going with the Wolverines here, Buck, Yeah, 881 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: everybody's going with the Wolverines. Shade Pattiston has found a stride. 882 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: That defense is growing up. This looks nothing like the 883 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: team that I saw give whoop by Notre Dame. Michigan 884 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: is coming. I think they have an opportunity to be 885 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 1: in the playoff. When it's all said, old school Bucky 886 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: would have gone with James Franklin on the road right 887 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: there and is just still have enough firebro, enough none 888 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: of juice. None of juice here. Next one Georgia Kentucky. 889 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: How about this? Kentucky is number nine in the country. 890 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: Who to thunk it? Uh? Every look, I thought one 891 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: of us would have the courage to do it and 892 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: go ahead and take Kentucky. But I'm not happening. Yeah, 893 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: this would be a great time for me to go 894 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: out on a limb and take an underdog. However, I 895 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: am going to pass. Can't do it. This week is 896 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: going to be an all chalk week, Kbucky Brooks. Yeah, 897 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm very conservative. I'm with you. We're all going with 898 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,439 Speaker 1: Georgia on the road at Kentucky. Sure that we're gonna 899 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: have some differences here along the way West Virginia. We 900 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: talked with Will Career earlier this week on previous episode 901 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: of The Pot. If you did not listen that, please 902 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: go back and listen to it. It's, uh if one 903 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: of the better player interviews I think we've ever done. 904 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: He was just a good mix buck I thought of 905 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: a thoughtful uh serious. Uh. It was just I like 906 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: the vibe I got from Will Career there. But how 907 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: about nice kid. Nice kid, and he's so nice that 908 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to pick his team against the University 909 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: of Texas. I'm going with West Virginia over Texas, even 910 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: though Texas should be smarting after a surprising loss to 911 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 1: Oaky State. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm going West Virginia 912 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: and Sully's going West Virginia. Kent lone wolfing it on 913 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: this one. Come on down. This has been good. That's 914 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: been good to Kent though. Question. All right, let's let's 915 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: move on to the next one. Notre Dame at Northwestern. 916 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: This would be a fun one here. Who do you like? 917 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it could be a fun one if you're 918 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: a Notre Dame fan. I think Notre Dame puts it, 919 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: puts a physical beat down on the north Western wildcast. Look, 920 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: I know they played well against Wisconsin. They showed up defense, 921 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: played um at a nice level. I just think Notre 922 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: Dame is too big, too physical, too many playmakers on 923 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: both sides. Give me Irish, You're going on Notre Dame. 924 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: Sully's going Notre Dame, Kent's going Notre Dame. Let me 925 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: just say this, Um, a little brother, brother, get a 926 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: little bit of a chip on your shoulder. Everybody's talking 927 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: about your big brother and it's all anybody talks about. 928 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,479 Speaker 1: You go to the mall. Guess what it's in your town, 929 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: but everybody is wearing your big brothers clothes, big brothers school. 930 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: It's Notre Dame. They are the they are the big 931 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: boy Notre in Northwestern right down the street, just living 932 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: in the shadows, and all that frustration and anger led 933 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: by coach Fitzgerald is gonna pour out of the Wildcats 934 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: and this one and they are gonna ruin Notre Dame season. 935 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: Give me the lone wolf. I'll take Northwestern in this one. 936 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: Oh man. The emotion goes out of the game at halftime, 937 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: so we'll see if Northwester can't sustain it in the 938 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: second half. I just watched Notre Dame just physically annal 939 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: Late Navy at the point of attack. I think they 940 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: do the same to Northwestern. Navy ain't running out of 941 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: tunnel this week. But Oklahoma, Texas Tech. Everybody's going Oklahoma, 942 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: and we don't. We don't really talk about this one 943 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: doing all right. Temple at you cef uh jeez, Sully 944 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: Sully and can't both going Temple at home? To in 945 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: the winning streak. No, no, this is a u CEF. 946 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You guys both have Temple going 947 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: on the road, ken't you? And Sully? Absolutely, Temple is 948 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna pull the upset. They look good, they're better than 949 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: their record. They're gonna knock off mackenzie Milton and UCF. Wow, 950 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: we roll with McKenzie Milton, Enie McKenzie Milton. I'm gonna 951 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: go with four, four and five tests down. Roll We'll 952 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: roll with UCF on that one, all right? Next one 953 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: cow five and three at number eight, Washington State, Washington State. 954 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: Selly's gonna Washing State. I'm going to Washington State. Don't 955 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: do it? But come on, I'm going to look. Come 956 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: onme on, big win. They can't they can't sustain it. 957 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: Come on, like, how much do you really believe in 958 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: the Coogers? Do you really believe the Cougars are like 959 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: the top cow bears? How about that one? Going? Alright, 960 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: big one. I'll be up there in Seattle. Unfortunately my 961 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: plane doesn't land in time for me to get to 962 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 1: this game. Go up there, going to charge of Seahawks. 963 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: But Stanford at Washington, which is normally uh could be 964 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: a winner goes to the playoffer is a favorite to 965 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: get into the playoff. That ship has sailed for both 966 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: of these teams, both carrying three losses. I'm going Watchington. 967 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 1: Who do you like Buck? I'm going Dhuskies. Stanford has 968 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: been a disappointment. I thought this was gonna be a 969 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: team that could contend in the North. Just haven't looked good. 970 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: Too many losses. Just don't just don't like it. I 971 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: got Washington Pack Pack twelve. It's a it's a rough go. 972 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: We're all going Washington. There another Pack twelve game though, 973 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: Utah playing great football six and two against Arizona State, 974 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: coming off a big win over USC. I'm going Utah. 975 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 1: What do you think I'm going with Utah? Too big, 976 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: too physical? Yeah, I think we're all going on we all, 977 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,280 Speaker 1: we all are going Utah. There, So no long Wolf's 978 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: on that one. Well, there you have it. There's our 979 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: our college picks. You feel good. I feel great about it. 980 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 1: Feel great. Let go bear, Let's see what happened. Yeah, 981 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Back you going out in the 982 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: limb uh.
