19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: later on in the show. But buck Man, Where Where

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: were you? Where were you? I guess it was Saturday

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: evening when the news of the Andrew Luck situation in

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: sudden retirement came down. So I was actually hanging out

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: with my son. My son was having his sixteenth birthday,

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: so we were kind of just putting it together. You

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: probably have some gakes. Yeah, I know, kind of crazy

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: sixteen years scary, um, but he um. We were doing

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: it and all of a sudden, I see the thing

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: come across the screen Andrew Luck has informed the coast

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: that he's retiring. I was like, what where did this

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: come from? And then you go, you go to Twitter

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: and you see Adam Schefter's report, you see some of

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: the guys from NFL media reporting their stuff, and I'm like, wow,

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe he shut it down. And then the

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: fact that he's doing it two weeks before the season,

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is definitely not ideal timing if you're

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And then you just kind of go

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: and you understood he was dealing with some injuries and

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: all that other stuff, but like the postgame presser when

39
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: he's answering to assis and he's going through it and

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: he's very emotional. You could just see that he was

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: just beaten down from the rehab process, warning if he

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: ever is going to be able to play like the

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: way that he played when he first entered the league,

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: and so, look, he had talked about that previous injury

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: being kind of like a dark place for him and

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: how he didn't want to revisit that. So I certainly

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: understand it. But there's still something in me that still

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: believes that after he's healed up and he feels better,

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: maybe in a year or so, that he's like, man,

50
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, I was really good at the football thing.

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna give it a spend. So I

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: just kind of wonder if you'll be able to walk

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: away from it permanently, because there's nothing else that he's

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: going to find that kind of gives him the same

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: exhilaration and excitement that football has always given him. Now,

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you in terms of, man, just the shock,

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, and we'll get to that

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: in a second. I don't know they we'll ever see

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: him again, though. He just seems like the kind of

60
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: guy that would just kind of disappear and that will

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: be Yet it Buck. I was. I was at the

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Charger game Charger Seahawks and was down on the field.

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Usually during the pregame show, we get a little break

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: and so I'll go down the field, walk around the field,

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: talk to some people, and then head back up. So

66
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm heading back up. I'm walking back into the little

67
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: booth up there, and our producer go hands me his

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: phone and goes, you better sit down, and I'm like, what, So,

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. So I look at

70
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: his phone and it's like Andrew Luck retires and it's

71
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: a it was Adam Schefter tweet. And I looked at

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: it and I'm I'm telling you, Buck, I had to

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: look at for like ten seconds to make sure that

74
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: blue checkmark was and I was like, yeah, yeah, that

75
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: that's real, Like whoa. And so you know that the

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: whole the whole first half, my phone you're calling, you're

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: calling the game, and my phone would not stop buzzing.

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Just people all around the league, you know, wanting to

79
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, to text about this and figure out what

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: the heck was going on. Um. And then we actually

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: had Hunter Henry on from the sideline in the third quarter.

82
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, these preseason games. You get in the second

83
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: half of these guys aren't playing, you'll do men game interviews.

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: And um, I asked Hunter, I said, hey, how did

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: you guys, you know, find out about this? Now, keep

86
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: in mind, the Chargers open up with the Colts, that's

87
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: their Week one opponent. And uh, he said, well, you

88
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: know a lot of the veterans that weren't playing had

89
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: seen it on their phone. So as we were coming out,

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, for the start of the game, there was

91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: whispers and you heard people talking about a little bit.

92
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: And UM, it's just crazy how that all happens in

93
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: real time. Um, but Buck, I, I really don't think

94
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: we'll see him again. You know, he's, um, he's a

95
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: unique guy and I don't think that Uh, I don't

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: think football is the be all end all for him. Um.

97
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: I went back, you know, I was curious, so I

98
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: went back and looked up my my background information on

99
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: him when I had gone through Stanford and um, you know,

100
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: the uh Buck it's it's it was off the charts.

101
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we kind of remember a little bit about him,

102
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: but when you go back through and read everything, um,

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: and this is uh, you know, some of the stuff

104
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: in my background on here. Uh. Uh, everybody on campus

105
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: raves about Andrew luck He's tough, dedicated response well, he

106
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: does not accept praise. He goes out of his way

107
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: to be one of the guys. He's humble, he fits

108
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: in with everybody on the team. Uh. He called out

109
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 1: the whole team team during the halftime of the USC

110
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: game last year, said, we aren't losing this bleeping game.

111
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: He's got fire, he excels and everything he does exactly

112
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: what you wanted to position. Um. I spoke to him

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: at the combine that year. He's represented by his uncle.

114
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: I knew he was coming out before the season started,

115
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: very proud of what they accomplish at Stanford. Says all

116
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: the right things. He's humbled down to earth, approachable for

117
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: someone with as much hype as this guy has been given. Uh,

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: he's a great guy, no issues. He's a no brainer,

119
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: top overall pick. So, I mean, those were some of

120
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the things that that people were saying about him, But I

121
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: I go back through the work ethic on the bottom

122
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: of report, off the charts as a worker, he's like

123
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: a coach in the weight room and on the field.

124
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: The strength coach says he's a twelve on a scale

125
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: if one to ten. As a worker, he eats, drinks

126
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: football all day every day. He ran the install meetings

127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: during two days install on the offense, UH. He instituted

128
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: a penalty system for off sides during practice. He held

129
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: the other players responsible even more so than the coaches,

130
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: always at the facility, never asked for special treatment. Each

131
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: source had to be stopped when talking about this player,

132
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: they go on and on and on and on. So

133
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: it's not hype when we say Buck that this is

134
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: one of the premier players that we ever got the

135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: chance to evaluate. Oh, without a question, he is definitely

136
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: a premier player. And when you look at the career

137
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: that he was able to put together, even though it

138
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: was short, you saw him play at a high level.

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: You could reasonably make the argument at some point in

140
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: his career you could see him being the best player

141
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: at his position. The fact that he was able to

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: carry the Coats not only into the playoffs, would get

143
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: them to a championship game early in his career, speaks

144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: volumes about his ability to be a franchise quarterback. And

145
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: then when you hear his teammates um kind of honor

146
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: him as he's decided to walk away from the game,

147
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton talking about him as his best friend

148
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and how they were down uh for one another, and

149
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: how uh they came together and those things, and then

150
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: just the way the coaches talk about the way that

151
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: he would just be in there being an all in

152
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: guy and for so much of the conversation when we

153
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: talk about quarterbacks, a lot of it is the physical stuff,

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: but Andrew Luck really embodies all of the other stuff

155
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: that you want the guy to have. You wanted to

156
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: have the awareness to be able to kind of check

157
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: his ego, to allow himself to kind of be one

158
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: of the guys while also being the alpha leader that

159
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: could get the guys going. He does all of those things.

160
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: And from a personal standpoint, we always talk about wanting

161
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: UM players and young people to have balanced, to have

162
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: other things in their lives beyond their their said professional

163
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: or their preferred sport. Andrew Luck has all of those things.

164
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Well rounded. UM has been exposed to a bunch of

165
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: different things, which will frustrate maybe some football only people,

166
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: but the fact that he's able to walk away on

167
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: his own terms to me suggested he is a well

168
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: rounded person who has cultivated some of those interests away

169
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: from the game, and that is going to allow him

170
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: to transition into those interests now that the game is

171
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: all done for him. I want to get to a

172
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: couple of sound bites we had from coach David Shaw

173
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: there at Stanford, who knows Andrew Luck as well as anybody.

174
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: And we'll get to those bites in just a second.

175
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: But Buck, I want to just real quick, Um, there's

176
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: been a conversation on social media. I'm sure you've seen it,

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: and and um, it's just it's been out there that

178
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: the Colts, you know, the failure to protect Andrew Luck. Um,

179
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: you know that is what led to the beating he

180
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: took early in his career, and that's why, Um, and

181
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: this this day came about while he retired. He was

182
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: so beat up and basically it was insanually that they

183
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: completely ignored the offensive line position. Um. And so when

184
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at this, I found it

185
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: a little bit interesting. First of all, Um, before Andrew

186
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: Luck got on the scene, they had taken Anthony Costanzo.

187
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: I guess the year before, who's still there is their

188
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: left tackle has been a good player. But that offensive

189
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: line upon Andrew Luck's arrival was not good, and I

190
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: think you can fault you can find some fault there

191
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: with that draft. Be that first draft, um, they went

192
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. Then they went back to back Kobe Fleaner

193
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Allen, two tight ends, and then t Y

194
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: Hilton after that, who was probably the best player they've

195
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: picked outside of Andrew Luck over the last several years

196
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: until you saw Quentin Nelson last year. But that first year,

197
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: you can make a case, Okay, they probably should have

198
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: drafted some more offensive lineman early on, after you've picked

199
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, maybe you don't take those two tight ends.

200
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Maybe those are some offensive lineman. So I think that's

201
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: a fair point there. But then you go to the

202
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: next year. They took Hugh Thornton, their guard out of

203
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Illinois with their second pick, which was in the which

204
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: was in the third round, and then their third pick

205
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: they took call At Holmes from USC So you took

206
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: two linemen there with two of your top three picks.

207
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: You go to the next year, their first overall pick

208
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: in the first round, they took Jack Muhort, tackle out

209
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: of Ohio State, so again a high pick that they

210
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: used there. Now they did not go back to the

211
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: position again in that draft, Um, and then you get

212
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: to the two thousand fifteen draft and there was nothing there.

213
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: They did not address the position. And then you come

214
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: back in sixteen and you took Ryan Kelly with the

215
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: first overall pick. Who are with their first round pick,

216
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: who has been, um, you know, arguably the best center

217
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the moral of the story I'm

218
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: trying to get to here the point, I don't think

219
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: it's that they avoided addressing the offensive line position. I

220
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: think it's they didn't pick the right players. Um, they

221
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: didn't get the right offensive lineman. It's not like they

222
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: didn't select any offensive lineman. There's a list of guys

223
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: that just gave you. They just unfortunately missed on too

224
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: many of them. Yeah. I think that's really what it

225
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: comes down to. Their inability to hit on the draft picks,

226
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: because they did can make capital to try and to

227
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: fortify this team around Andrew Luck. When you go back

228
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: to their first draft class, de fintually get t Y

229
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Hilton and two of those pass catchers that they added

230
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: to the lineup, Um, Kobe Fleaner, Dwayne Allen. Both of

231
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: those guys comes to give him the comfort being able

232
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: to throw down the middle of the field. Then they've

233
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: tried to consistently try and up to Andy. When it

234
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: comes to the running game, they hadn't been able to

235
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: get it done. Um, maybe they finally have it fixed,

236
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and so they attempted to really put him in a

237
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: situation where he could grow and flourish. It's just unfortunate

238
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: that the guys they picked didn't fit, didn't blossom into

239
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: the players we thought they would be. Yeah, so that look,

240
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: that's again we always talk from a team building standpoint,

241
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: how do you want to do it? When you get

242
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: a good young quarterback, and there's a school thought, okay,

243
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: you get a good young quarterback to get a great defense.

244
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: It takes some of the pressure off him. No, I

245
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: don't even care about winning games. If you want to

246
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: have longevity and uh and build it the right way.

247
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: Build up one side of the ball first. And if

248
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: you draft a quarterback early, you start with the offensive line.

249
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: You start with the offense. You build that up. I

250
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: don't care if you lose every game. You know, thirty

251
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: five to thirty one organizationally, and your fans are gonna see, Okay,

252
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks getting better. You're protecting him, You're allowing him

253
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: to grow and develop. That's how you do it, and

254
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: then eventually you can add in those pieces on the defense.

255
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: You can invest the capitol on that side of the ball,

256
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: but you better start off getting that offensive line and

257
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: good aping and letting your young quarterback grow. So here's

258
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: the thing about young quarterbacks, and you talk about letting

259
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: them grow. Not only do you need to protect him

260
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: off the edges, but you need to actually be stout

261
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: of the middle because with the event of so many

262
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: interior defensive pass wrestlers, guys that can get up to

263
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: feel right in the face of the quarterback, you've gotta

264
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: be able to protect him. So you gotta run it

265
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: at them, control o'clock and pick and choose when um

266
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: you want to attack. Then I think with um, as

267
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking about building up the squad and doing everything,

268
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: you do have to make a decision, Okay, do I

269
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: want to invest in the quarterback and all the things

270
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: that he has available for him, and then draft and

271
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: develop on the defense side, which is what I think

272
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: the ind Oupoteris Coats are doing. Fall into school the

273
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: thought that several offensive heavy teams have done. If you

274
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: do that, it just means that the pressures on your

275
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: scouting director, your GM to make sure they pick the

276
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: right people. But I do believe you have to understand

277
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: the team building a model and you got to make

278
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: every decision with end in mind, not based on what

279
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: free agents are also available. All right, I want to

280
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: get to these bites here just one second. Well, one

281
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: question for you, and then we'll get to these sound bites. You. Uh,

282
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: you've had you've been affiliated with the NFL, Bucky since

283
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: what year? What was your draft year? Draft? So since

284
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: n You've been around this game for a very very

285
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: long time. Bucks, that's three years, twenty four years. I'm

286
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: not very good math, anyways, that's a lot of years,

287
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: twenty five years around the NFL. Have you ever once

288
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: in twenty five years heard anybody say, you know what

289
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: we've just got. We've got too many quality offensive linemen,

290
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: many of them never never, never, never take him. Can't

291
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: have enough of them, can't have enough of them. That's

292
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: that's exactly the point there. All right, let's get to this. Uh,

293
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: this couple of sound bites we have here from David

294
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Shaw from Stanford. Uh. The first one, let's run the

295
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: one hype them where he's talking about um when he's

296
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: recruiting Andrew Luck. Because if you want to learn a

297
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: little bit more about how mature he was, go back

298
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: to when he was in high school. Here David Shaw

299
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: talking about recruiting Andrew Luck. Andrew was great and he

300
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: was like a thirty year old man when he was

301
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: sent a team. Right, it wasn't difficult, but it was

302
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: great to hear other people so recruiting the area. And

303
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: there was a his big rival talking to his rivals

304
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: high school, high school coach, and he says, Okay, I

305
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: gotta tell you about this Andrew Luck guy. I was like, okay,

306
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: give me, give me something, give me something. He says, okay,

307
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: here's what happens, coach, our team comes up with a

308
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: dirty limerick for the nether team's favorite player or the

309
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: best player. Right, So we're getting ready to play Andrew

310
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: and I'm waiting and the all week I don't hear it.

311
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: So I asked. I grabbed my seniors and said, okay,

312
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: where's the lyric? And say coach, we we don't want

313
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: to come up with a lyric against this guy. I said, what,

314
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: he's not gonna hear it? He said no, because we

315
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: were respect him too. Much so in high school to

316
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: to have your your your rivals feel that way. And

317
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: of course Andrew wouldn't just demolished him. And then that

318
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: night the coaches down and he's at dinner, and who

319
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: walks in but Andrew and his family and they go

320
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: across the restaurant and here's his high school senior walks

321
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: across the restaurant, shake seaposing coach's hand and stands there

322
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: and talks to him and his wife for like fifteen minutes.

323
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, process, we're done here. It's over. This

324
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: is our guy. There you go, Buck, what do you

325
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: think going back and listen to that man? It's really

326
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: easy to fall in love with Andrew Luck based on

327
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that um when you talk about one to have the

328
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: right quarterback as the face of the franchise, where Andrew

329
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: Luck is that, you know what I'm saying, smart in

330
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: the classroom on the fuel, productive has done it in

331
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: a variety of different ways, and then you just kind

332
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: of hear about the leader and the intensible qualities that

333
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: kind of come out. He is everything that you want

334
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: as a guy, that is your field ring and better yet,

335
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: he's everything that you wanted a football player. So give

336
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: me twenty two Andrew Lux and we win a lot

337
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: of games, no doubt. I'm I'm with you on and

338
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: it gives you a little bit of an insight to

339
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: him at a young age. Another question we asked David Shaw,

340
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: as we did all the other coaches we spoke with.

341
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: And we're gonna have an episode eventually where you're gonna

342
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: hear all these great stories about the greatest high school

343
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: football player you've ever seen. Here's David Shaw's answer. I

344
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: can't say one. So there's a small group we've had

345
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: this conversation before. I love this there. So there Andrew

346
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Luck watching him throw the ball and I and I'll

347
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: tell you his his footwork was was was good, but

348
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: his back foot would always come off the ground. I

349
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: was always weird to me, like, okay, I gotta see

350
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: this live, um. But the way he threw the ball,

351
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the way he managed the team, he looks like he

352
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: looked like an NFL guy playing againt high school kids.

353
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: There you go, and Buck. I went back and looking

354
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: at my report in my summary from college, and uh,

355
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: I had one of the notes in here transfers his

356
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: weight early in the throwing motion, almost exclusively up on

357
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the front leg when the ball comes out. He did

358
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: have a very unique, very unique motion in terms of

359
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: how he transferred his weight. So early look different. It

360
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: did look different. Um, weird, but it but it was

361
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: effective for him. It worked in No one along the

362
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: way kind of messed with him and they just kind

363
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: of let him be and he kind of figured it out.

364
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: But you would like to see a little more pace

365
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: and be lost, you know some of those in breaking throwers. Yeah,

366
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: that's the other thing I had on there. I said,

367
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: he's uh, it's as good arm strength, but it isn't rare.

368
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: But he can change ball speed. Uh, there's a nice

369
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: job of throwing a catchable ball shallow crossers. Um it was. Anyways,

370
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 1: it was it was really good player. Well, we can

371
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: move on to to other topics. A lot of this

372
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: stuff we want to get to. But I did think

373
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: we needed to give a little time there to Andrew

374
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: Luck because one of the more unique retirements I think

375
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: in in our football history that we'll ever see. I

376
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: think this is a this is a this is a

377
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: day and a time, and in a decision, we could

378
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: be talking about fifteen years from now, twenty years from now.

379
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: The way people talk about the Barry Sanders decision. Yeah,

380
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: we very well could be talking about this for a

381
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: long time because it kind of changes the landscape. Before

382
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: we have penciled Indianapolis in Sanda Diego win a division

383
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: that they're tough enough to be able to do it,

384
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: and Andrew was gonna have a an outstanding year. Where

385
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: now we come there's uncertainty everywhere. You don't know how

386
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: the coast are gonna play with your Kobe per said

387
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: is at number one. I mean there's some other teams

388
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: within the division to have questions about. UM. This is

389
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: why you just never know. You can't really get into

390
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: predicting season because you just don't know how one domino

391
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: falling down can affect the rest of the group. I

392
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: know out and one other one other note from last

393
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: week in the preseason. Then we'll move on to these

394
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: previews of the NFC and a f C South. But

395
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: case Keenum being named the Week one starter in Washington.

396
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: Do you like that or or do you not like that? UM?

397
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like it, but I understand why they're

398
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: doing it. They didn't believe that, UM, they get they

399
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: could get it done with Dwayne Haskins earlier, Ie Haskins

400
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: should be starting. He should be starting what we're doing.

401
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Like we've seen Case Keenum. You can't get to see

402
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: him to the end zone. There's no juice or rhythm

403
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: behind us. So like, I don't know, I don't know

404
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: how long they can play this charade like where Case

405
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: Keenum is gonna be difference as quarterback. But at some point,

406
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: come on, you gotta put Dwayne Haskins in the game.

407
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: And talking to Dwayne Haskins during the draft process and

408
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: people around him, people that know him, I think he's

409
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: mentally and physically tough enough that he'll be able to

410
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: handle some of the adversity that will come his way,

411
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: which will happen for any of these young quarterbacks. And

412
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: I think he's ready to handle that. And I think

413
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: when you've got a guy who the main knock is

414
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't played, I don't think the answer is having

415
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: him said I'd like to see him get out there

416
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: and play a little bit and uh, let's see him,

417
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: uh make some make some strides and grow as the

418
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: season progresses. You know, I think the thing for me

419
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: is what I would like to do when you you

420
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: talk about like let him play I wanted to make

421
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: his mistakes that we can figure out how to build

422
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: a team around him. And the entire time, I always

423
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: felt like Jay Gruten and crew, they wanted to go

424
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: with the veteran player their jobs on the high seat.

425
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: So I understand it. But for the interest in the franchise, man,

426
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta get it ready so you can

427
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: get them going, so win the offseason. You know exactly

428
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: what you need. You get it early and then they

429
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: can start rolling on it. I don't like this last

430
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: minute stuff to I'm I'm beginning to see I'm with

431
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: you on that. Let's get some previews. Uh, NFC South,

432
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: a f C South. Uh, just kind of a storyline

433
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: that we're looking at. I'll take the NFC South, give

434
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: you the a f C South, and we'll kind of

435
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: roll through this and then we can say who we

436
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: like in the division. Uh Saints. To me, Buck, this

437
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: is a roster that's about as good as any in

438
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. They are in great shape up

439
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: front on both sides. That they've built this team well

440
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: in the trenches. I would say the key to them

441
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: in terms of getting the ultimate prize other than Drew

442
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: Brees being able to maintain the pace that he's been

443
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: on and and still playing well um later in his career.

444
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: I would say the key is, can they get that

445
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: complimentary rusher uh that you're looking for? Marcus Davenport would

446
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: be the man, and a lot of eyes are gonna

447
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: be on we know what we're getting from Cam Jordan's

448
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Can they get another complimentary pass rusher there? To me,

449
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: that's the key to them getting back to where they were,

450
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: which is right on the edge of of being in

451
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Yeah. Looking talk about a team that

452
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: is right there. They just gotta figure it out and

453
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: figure out how to kind of move past and move

454
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: beyond adversity that they suffered a season a goo brand

455
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: new year focused on the outlook. Make sure you get

456
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: to the post season or distretch of the season healthy,

457
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Do do those things the wins are taking himself. This

458
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: is a loaded, loaded loadings squad. I'm with you on

459
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: that Atlanta Falcons team coming off a seven and nine

460
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: year disappointing year. UM skill position, talent outstanding. I think

461
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: the defense is gonna be really good, um with all

462
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: these guys coming back healthy, led by Keian O'Neil and

463
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: Dion Jones. There's a lot of eat on that unit.

464
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be fine there. Young offensive line

465
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: that is the that is the issue to me, and

466
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: we've seen it early on in the preseason. Caleb McGarry

467
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: unfortunately had to miss some time. Their first round pick,

468
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: Ty Sambrelos is not great, and Chris Lindstrom there uh,

469
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: their other first round pick, struggled a little bit. So

470
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: they've got to get some of these guys up to

471
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: speed and get them playing at a high level. Because

472
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, if given the opportunity of a clean pocket,

473
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: is gonna tear apart the defenses in this league with

474
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: the receiver, the receiving weapons they possess. But he can't

475
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: do it from his back book. He can't do it

476
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: from his back and so what I like about Dirk

477
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Cutter coming back is they're able to put him back

478
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: in a familiar offense that he shouldn't have any issue.

479
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: Um when it comes to finding identifying his playmakers, they

480
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: have to be able to do it a little differently.

481
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: I think they got to get back to the ruin.

482
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: You talk about that offensive line. When Atlanta Falcons were

483
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: able to go to Super Boys because their running game

484
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: and the stable backs kind of leaned into you. And

485
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: then you had to do with Julio and his UH

486
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 1: teammates on the side, why receiver Mohammed Sanu, and then

487
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: you talk about Kevin Ridley. I think the Falcons have

488
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: to play the right way, meaning they need to run

489
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: the ball, shorten the game so the defense will be

490
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: in a position to make some plays later. I'm with you.

491
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: Get to the Carolina Panthers, another team with seven and

492
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: nine last year. UM, one of my favorite groups. New addition,

493
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with new additions. Throwing s on the

494
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: end of that is the key to this team. Gerald

495
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: McCoy UH coming over inside the division from Tampa. And

496
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: then Brian Burns their first round pick. Can they give

497
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: him some pass rush? I know Burns has been effective

498
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: with very effect Bucky Brooks. Burns sacks the fact kind

499
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: to give it up and kind of just hang around

500
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: and then it comes to him. He comes to get

501
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: it done. He gets it done. I will say this,

502
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: and watched him and watched him UM two preseason games,

503
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: like he is outstanding bursts. First, the quickness he can

504
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: make guys kind of lose their way when he comes

505
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: off the edge, and he has been a much better

506
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: run stopper than I envisioned. His ability to play to

507
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: run has really been terrifics gonna change the dynamics of

508
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: the way that they uh, the way the teams will

509
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: have to defend it because he's he's terrific. All Right,

510
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: we get to the Tampa Bay Bucks coming off of

511
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: a five and eleven season. Can they run the ball?

512
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: I think that'll be big. Take some of that, uh,

513
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: that pressure off of Jamis Winston. But I don't know

514
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: how you say anything other than the offensive line when

515
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: you've watched, especially the other night, but they're bad the

516
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: other night against great It is not a good group.

517
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: Not a good group. So that's gonna be a challenge.

518
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: When you've got a head coach and a play caller

519
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: and Bruce arians who wants to get vertical, you better

520
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: be able to protect or you better be keeping dudes

521
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: in because that's where that's where you get a little

522
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: bit nervous. Yeah, you do get nervous because you can't

523
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: expose them. You got to make sure that the ball

524
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: comes out, and so anything in your mind, you have

525
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: to think protection first. Get the big play passings out, second,

526
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: But this is a team where you have to be

527
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: the establish your identity, recreate um who you are, and

528
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: they gotta get back to running the ball and run

529
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: the ball effectly because then that opens up everything that

530
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: they want to do. Passing in protection is critical um

531
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: and then it's about the defense, the defense finding a

532
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: way to make enough plays to give them a chance.

533
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: All right, who wins this division? I'm gonna go New Orleans?

534
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you what, the more I've watched the preseason,

535
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: which is always a bad idea to let this influence you,

536
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: But just looking at the roster construction, I think the

537
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: Panthers might be there with them. I'm gonna say the

538
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: Saints end up holding them off, but I think the

539
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: Panthers have a chance to surprise some people potentially win

540
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: this division. You look, I agree with you. I think

541
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: the Saints are the class division, but I do believe

542
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers have certainly made up ground. The only thing

543
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: that I worry about when it comes to the Panthers

544
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: can they be balanced enough? Meaning can they handleball off

545
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: to christimanccaffrey against eight and I'm in fronts and heat

546
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: uh find a way to be successful? Can they find

547
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: a way to use them in the passing game and

548
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: dump it out to him on swinging passes where you

549
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: can make moves and getting uh determined and create some

550
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: big place. Have to find ways, unique ways to get

551
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: them the rock and open field. With Death said, I

552
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: still think this is the Saint so lows I'm gonna

553
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: say the Saints to continue to win it. Yeah, I'm

554
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: with you on that. All. Let's get over to the

555
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: a FC South where we've got a plethora of storylines

556
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: to get through here, you know, Plethor's storylines. I'm starting

557
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: to Houston Texans. How did they help number four? How

558
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: did they help Deshaun Watson. This offseason was supposed to

559
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: be about helping him, protecting him, allowing him to really

560
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: come out and attack more. He's not able to do that. Uh.

561
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: Haven't had to wide receivers um that you would normally. Uh.

562
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have the wide receivers that you

563
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: like with the with the Texans, but you just don't

564
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: have the old line play and it continues to struggle

565
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: in the preseason and then you go out you lose

566
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. I know they got Duke Johnson, but they

567
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: don't have a number one. I need to figure out

568
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: who is going to be the lead runner for these

569
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: using texts. You want to see, Uh, how how smart

570
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: I am? Buck, Let me tell you smart I am.

571
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm gonna say hythe Them insert trade. So

572
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: when we're done recording this and then the trade happens.

573
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: Right now, we just use Hythem's voice and he can

574
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: just tell the listeners what happened with the trade, because

575
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, soon as we finished this, we're both gonna

576
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: go are separate ways and he is gonna get traded.

577
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: They might be adding an offensive tackle. And so now

578
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: we just put that. That's on the hythm, hythe Them,

579
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: you just have to drop that in. I got you,

580
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: I got you. Just to drop it. Breaking news from

581
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: the newsroom. That's funny. Yes, yes, that's it. So insert here.

582
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: That's that's my that's my charge. Look can they protect?

583
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: If they can protect, Deshaun Watson is gonna have a

584
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: big year. And when you look inside the division, now, Buck,

585
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: to me, the gap between Deshaun Watson and everybody else

586
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position is significant. Oh for sure, It's

587
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: definitely significant, and it plays out and it kind of

588
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: plays into uh, the storyline. The next storyline that I

589
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: had when it came to the episcope with Jacoby Brisset.

590
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: I like jacobeer said, I think he's flashed at times

591
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: throughout his career. I like the leadership ability. I like

592
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: the way that he's able to kind of own and

593
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: stay in his role when he's the number two, but

594
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: he's always available if he has to go in. The

595
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: difference is this offense has been designed when number twelve

596
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: in mind, and not only am I this year before

597
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: a number of years guys he signed, so they kind

598
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: of I'm kind of curious to see how much of

599
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: Jacoby bri said can do to Andrew lutt Thing. Yeah. Now, no, Look,

600
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of love for him, I mean inside

601
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: the building. I know you've got to put it out

602
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: there that you're confident in your guy. You don't want

603
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: the season to be over before it starts. But I'm

604
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching them week one to see what

605
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: this offense looks like with Prissette at the helm. All right,

606
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: how about the Titans. Look, it's all about the quarterback

607
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: position in which quarterback is the best one for the team.

608
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: I know Marcus Mariota is a twenty million dollar guy.

609
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: He's got to get a fifth year option picked up.

610
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: But Ryan Tannehill has outplayed him in the off season.

611
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: So what do we do with this? Like what what's real,

612
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: what's fake? And those things? I just don't know if

613
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: in good um conscious I can lean on Marcus Mariota.

614
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: I need to know from the Titans who's the quarterback

615
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: Mariota or Ryan TANEHILLO. Well, I mean, this is a

616
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: team that's been stuck. I guess it. Stuck is the

617
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: word three years nine and seven. Can they get over

618
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: that hump and take that next step? I know the

619
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: news coming out of Indianapolis should be uh, um, should

620
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: be well received in Tennessee because you would think that

621
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: maybe get you the one extra win that they needed

622
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: last year. UM, we'll see what happens there with the

623
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. I'm actually I'm actually a little bit bullish

624
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: on them. I think if they get the quarterback things

625
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: squared away. I think in the trenches once the Taylor

626
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: the Wan comes back off suspension, they're pretty good on

627
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: both sides. UM and a real real physical football team.

628
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: And um, it's hard to finish under five hundred when

629
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: you're a physical team, Buck, You're always gonna be right there. Now,

630
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: you just need to find a way to win a

631
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: couple more. Yeah, physical football always gives you an opportunity.

632
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: And the way they are able to kind of grind

633
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: it and mash it out plays well. That the problem

634
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: is with them in this division, there are the defenses

635
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: and teams that like to play that way, so you

636
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: don't really have the advantage of you normally would have

637
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: in most instances. But it's one thing that can be

638
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: worked around for me when I look at the defenses,

639
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: and this comes into play because I got the Jackson

640
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: was Jaguars. That's kind of like the biggest ster mark

641
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: for their team. And the question mark that I have

642
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: is is Josh Allen good enough to push him over

643
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: the top. Um they have passed Russia's previously, but is

644
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: he a special kind of player that can push them

645
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: over the top if he is great? But right now,

646
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: I gotta see that Jack's defense. I gotta see what

647
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: they're really going to do with Josh Allen. The which

648
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has a better year, Maybe that's one of

649
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: our burning questions. You know, Josh Allen looks good that

650
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: it could be a big year for the Josh Allens. Uh.

651
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: That might that might have been a little, uh, a

652
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: little insight into what's coming. All Right, who wins this division? Book?

653
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: Such a tough battle. You know what I'm saying. I

654
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: don't think the coach can win it. I am going

655
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: to go out on a limb. And I'm gonna say.

656
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna say that, Jacks. You're not gonna say that, Jack.

657
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to Jacks. I'm gonna say that Jacksmith,

658
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: Jack Ward, are you really yeah, you don't payer to

659
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: the better team. Let's go to Jacks, all right? Are

660
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: you're going with the Jacks. I'm gonna stick. I'm gonna

661
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: stick with the Texans. Wait, whoa way to be a risk? Look,

662
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: I just have to I haven't gone out there. J J.

663
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: Watt's gonna get his sixteen sacks. Um, we'll see what

664
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: they fetch out of this clowney trade that hyde them

665
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: has probably already told our audience about um that we

666
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: don't know about because it wasn't done by the time

667
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: we started this thing. But they're gonna be better. They're

668
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be better up front and uh and Deshaun Watson,

669
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: I just think. Look it went in doubt. I'm I'm

670
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: always gonna go with the best quarterback. He's the he's

671
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: the best one, So I'll go with Watson. All right,

672
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: this is the time that we've been waiting for thirty

673
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: two burning questions. How much time is on the clock?

674
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Do we have to answer these questions? We'll do about

675
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: a minute per question. That way, you know, thirty two minutes.

676
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: We can even go faster. I will hit the air

677
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: horn once we hit the minutes, you know, to wrap it.

678
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: You know, if you actually are still, we won't even

679
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna me and Bucky, Bucky. We can do these

680
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: all on under a minute. You're ready to start it?

681
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: All right? We'll start in the NFC North. What kind

682
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: of leap can we expect from Mitchell Tramisky in year three?

683
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: A leap maybe like a skip go ahead, But I

684
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how much. I don't know

685
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: how much he can how much he can approve. I

686
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: believe is find yeah Pro Bowl because he's voted on

687
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: and the Bears are like a popular franchise, Matt Naggi

688
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: has to do everything to really set him up. Um

689
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: and I think he continue had continues to have some creativity,

690
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: but at some point Mitchell's game has to kind of

691
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: show that. Right now, I don't have a lot of

692
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: confidence because I haven't seen it. I'm gonna say, you

693
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: wait a little bit, wait a little bit on him.

694
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he does take a leap, and it's

695
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: because of David Montgomery. He's not gonna have to throw

696
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: it as much. And then he's gonna lead to some

697
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: more big plays off that run game. So he does

698
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: take a leap, big plays off. All right, Moving on

699
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: to the Lions, what are your expectations for carry On

700
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: Johnson this season. I think it's gonna be a big

701
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: year for carry On Johnson. Buck Are they gonna run it?

702
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: They go out and invest in the type and the

703
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: best blocking tight end to come in to the NFL

704
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: and quite some time, carry On Johnson showed what he

705
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: could do last year. I think he takes his game

706
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: up a notch. I don't know they're gonna win a

707
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: ton of games, because, um, I think there's some other

708
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: holes on this roster, But I do think they run

709
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: it well. Yeah, I mean I think I think they

710
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: certainly can can run it well. They need to get

711
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: after that, I mean, I like some of the flashes

712
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: that we've seen from Johnston, but more consistency, more ownership,

713
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: more domination at the point of attack. All Right, moving

714
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: to the Packers who will benefit most in Matt Lafleur's

715
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: new offense. Who who benefit the most? I am going

716
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: to say Aaron Jones is gonna be the biggest beneficiary.

717
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because when you look at

718
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: the way this offense works, it's a stretched bootleg system.

719
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna have some shots. And even though we think

720
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: about the package being all number twelve taking all the

721
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: shots and distributing the ball, I think the running game

722
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: has to be critical. When you go back and you

723
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: look at the guys who have come down from that

724
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: Shanahan tree, meaning Mike Shanahan, uh the Fleur and McVeigh

725
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan and and the like, all of those

726
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: guys hang their head on the running game. I think,

727
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: he continues, I'm gonna say it's Mike Patton the defense

728
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: of coordinator, because they get to see this run game

729
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: every week, and it's the same run game they're gonna

730
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: see in Minnesota. Uh So I think that there's some

731
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: carry over a lot of teams running this Shanahan scheme,

732
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: and so I think it actually helps a defense a

733
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: little bit to see this every day. Yeah, I mean

734
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand it does help him more

735
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: familiarity with Hunt. We just got the buzzer. Yeah, let's

736
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: move move into the Vikes. What kind of impact will

737
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: new Vikings assistant head coach Gary Kubiak have on their offense?

738
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: All the influence. I love his influence. I love where

739
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: we're seeing from Kirk Cousins. Uh, this is gonna be

740
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: a stretched bootleg team, meaning they gonna run outside zone.

741
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: Tailback is heading for the outside leg of the tackle,

742
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: and then they're always gonna have some kind of complimentary

743
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: action on the back end, whether there's rollout, whether it's bootleg.

744
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: They control the backside DM with what they do with

745
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I like this system. I think it's the

746
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: perfect system for Cousins. I look for him to dazzle

747
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to his billy put up big numbers. Well,

748
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't always dazzle this preseason, but it's gonna be

749
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: great scheme he knows and he's comfortable with. He's comfortable

750
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: looks cook that offense is going to run through Dalvin Cook.

751
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a huge year. I mean he will

752
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: and as a result, So cousins, how about that? There

753
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: you go? All right, move into the NFC East and

754
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: Buckey's favorite team, the Cowboys. Well, Dak Prescott be able

755
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: to silence doubters improve that he's a top ten quarterback.

756
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: Can you carry the Cowboys without Zeke? Go ahead, Buck, Yeah,

757
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: he can carry caramel Zeke Like, Look, I'm looking forward

758
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: to the opportunity to see Dad play without it, Like

759
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: I think, I think, here's here's the thing they need

760
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: to have to run a game. Zeke is very important

761
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: and vital to what they do. But he's vital important

762
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: what they do when you get closer to the playoff

763
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: rount so Zeke wants to mess around and like just

764
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: give away a bunch of money because he doesn't want

765
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: to show up and playing in his contract. Cool. I

766
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott and the way this offense is constructed,

767
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: he still can be success. Well, we'll see how it

768
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: plays out. Have you ever got the groceries out of

769
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: the car and try and get all of them in

770
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: one time? So you like ten bags by any channel

771
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: to get like halfway halfway to the kitchen table. You

772
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: gotta set them down for a second and then pick

773
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: him back up. Like that's that's how we're gonna go

774
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: with Dac here. He's gonna be able to care him

775
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I don't think he gets alway

776
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: the kitchen counter. Zing's gotta get back. I mean he

777
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: does he get back at me. Obviously, everyone is better

778
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: when you get all you weapons around you. But those

779
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: are heavy groceries. By the way, I don't don't ad me,

780
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: don't plastic that paper, because if it didn't heavy bag,

781
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: the hands are gonna pop off. Moving on to the

782
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: g man, what we got hi at them? Moving on

783
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: to the Giants. How long would the Giants be able

784
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: to keep Daniel Jones on the bench. M I don't know.

785
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: If you can keep a hold of family, the Giants

786
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: will keep Daniel Jones. Oh, listen to you. I'm gonna

787
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: say they keep Daniel Jones on the bench for ten

788
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: weeks um. And it's not gonna necessarily be because Eli

789
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: has played poorly. I think ELI is gonna be all right.

790
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna because they're not win enough games,

791
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: and then they just figure out, Hey, let's get a

792
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: look at this kid. Wow, just gonna dismiss one go

793
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: for the other. Um. I think at some point, because

794
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: he's been so solid in the preseason, I think maybe

795
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: their plans have changed. I think he does have to

796
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: get some snaps in the preseason so you just get

797
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: a feel for who he is and what he is. Man,

798
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: But they have to. If I'm man, if I'm David Gentleman,

799
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm taking to victory live. Yeah, I'm excited. Look, I

800
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: think I think comes off the field, he doesn't go

801
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: back on though. Yeah, I think that the week now

802
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: when they put Eli in, I think you just That's

803
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, I think you just kind of

804
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: transition right there. It's good. I'm with that alright. Moving

805
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, which new offseason addition on offense through

806
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: free agency or the draft is the biggest key to

807
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: the Eagle success. We're talking Jordan Howard's, Miles Sanders j

808
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: j R. Sega Whiteside, d Jacks. Go ahead, Buck, you

809
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: want to say, Okay, I am going to say. D

810
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: Jacks is gonna be the pivotal piece. And the reason

811
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: why is he's the fuel stretcher. His ability to make

812
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: big plays, lifts the blanket off the other playmakers, Nelson Aguilar,

813
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: El Sean Jr. Free j JRSA Whiteside and the running

814
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: game d Jacks gives them something that they still we're

815
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: lacking before, and that is that home run hitter. Look

816
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: for him to have a big impact, even though I

817
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: don't think his numbers will be at that customary mark

818
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: that they typically come in at. That's a great question,

819
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: my favorite one. I'm gonna go Miles Sanders. I think

820
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: he's got a chance. I think he is the most

821
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: talented running back to have, and I think he's got

822
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: a chance with this offensive line and passing game um

823
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: to really provide some big plays out of the backfield.

824
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Sanders move into the Redskins. We talked earlier

825
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: about Dwayne Haskins. How you guys both think you should

826
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: be starting somewhere. Let's talk this. Who is the Redskins

827
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: most dangerous player on offense? Do they have one? I

828
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, whoever's playing running back together? The

829
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: only guy it would have to be Darius guys, because

830
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I would say side on scene, because I mean's boy

831
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Trey Quinn. We gotta see him a little bit last week.

832
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: That was it. I Mean, I like tree Quinn, but

833
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: he's not like a key contributor, Like he's a little

834
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: he's a little piece. Like he's he's like to catch

835
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: up packet when you go to McDonald's and you get

836
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: the quarter pounder. I mean, he's not. He's not. He's

837
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: not he's not the whole meal. He's just like a

838
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: little Yeah, He's just he's just a little something. So like, yeah,

839
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: I think Darius Guys is probably the biggest thing because

840
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: they really don't have a lot of Josh Dotson, Paul Richardson,

841
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: Tree Quinn. Mhmm. Yeah. With the tight end, You've got

842
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Read, You've got Vernon Davis. But I'm gonna go guys.

843
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: I'll go guys on that one. Yeah. I like guys.

844
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson still though, I mean, look either one of them. Yeah,

845
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if Adrian has enough juice. But we'll see.

846
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: Guys is coming off to a c L injury. We're adless.

847
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: Both of those guys have to be big factors in

848
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: the rain game. All right. Moving to the NFC South

849
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: for the Falcons, sark is gone. What do you expect

850
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: from the Falcon's offense. With Maddy Ice reuniting with Dirk Cutter,

851
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it'd be very familiar like it

852
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: was the first time. Dirk Cutter is a guy who

853
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: helped Maddie Ice play at in a Pro Bowl m

854
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: v P level, so I would think it would be

855
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: the same. The biggest thing for the fact that they

856
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: have to be able to run the ball consistently because Dan,

857
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: when Mandy Ice thos Fay fake to play fake out,

858
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: the defense comes up, they can throw it over the head.

859
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: I need to see more production, better performers from Javonte Freeman.

860
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: He has to be an important part of every game plan.

861
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: I think we'll see it right from the beginning of

862
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: the season. In terms of his comfort level, He's gonna

863
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: be Matt Ryan's gonna be very comfortable with the scheme. Now,

864
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: the protection, that's another topic that scares me. Yeah, I

865
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: can see that. Actually they scaring you, especially the injuries

866
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: and stuff that they've had in the preseason. Not good.

867
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Panthers, will Cam Newton be able

868
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: to return to his m v P form from uh,

869
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: not the m v P form, but I'll say pro

870
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: Bowl form. How about that? Yeah, he's got a chance

871
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: to be a pro bowler in this system with getting

872
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: the ball out quickly, and then we see what we

873
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: saw when he was healthy previously. I think he does

874
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: he gets himself, he'll be a pro bowler. Yeah, I

875
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: think he can be a pro bowler. But here's what

876
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: I worry about with Cam, Like, if you take away

877
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: cam ability to be to dual threat, uh, is he

878
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: ever going to be good enough to beat you from

879
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: the pocket. The longer he hangs in has created more.

880
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, let's keep it wrong. Moving

881
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: to the Saints. Will the Saints be able to repeat

882
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: last year's thirteen and three record? M M, you got

883
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: a book? Have they gotten better or worse? I mean,

884
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: I think you can get better, but your record can

885
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: be worse based on the matchups. I think they'd come

886
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: in a k nots below. I think maybe twelve and

887
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: four would be probably a better record. Really, eleven and

888
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: five is what I'm thinking, because it is just so

889
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: hard to clown climb the mountaintop. I don't know if

890
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: they had to residu you seeing the resolve build up

891
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: to make these things happen, I think they are I

892
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: think they can match that. I think they they can

893
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: get thirteen wins. I think Caroline is going to be better,

894
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta will be a little bit better, Tampa t b D.

895
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: But I still think they're the class of this division.

896
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna have a talent advantage just

897
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: about every week they line up in play. M I'm

898
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna give you a two for one here with the books.

899
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: What kind of impact will new coach Bruce Arians have

900
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: on the team and who should be the starting running back? M?

901
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Can can Bruce play left tackle? Why not? Jeez, it's

902
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: tough to uh. I mean, that's that's gonna be difficult.

903
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: I will say this, Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, the tight

904
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: ends that they possessed, They've got weapons. Again, I feel

905
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: like we're beating the drum here. But offensive line just

906
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: not good. But I think look, Bruce Arians, his his

907
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: his swagger, his confidence, it's gonna help the quarterback. So

908
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: I'll say that does have an impact there with Jamis,

909
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think with with Arians, I think the

910
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: big thing is the relationship Arians relationship with Winston from

911
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 1: the time he was a teenager, being able to really

912
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: be able to offer kind of the right advice to

913
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: get him to think about decision making to become a

914
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: better player under the rest when Jamis Winston takes care

915
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: of the ball. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense is explosed

916
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: to in the in the league. The issue has been

917
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: can he consistently hold onto it? He was a little

918
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: better last year. I would expect him to be um

919
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: really really cautious and careful. Uh, the bruce as in

920
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: his ear every day. All right. Moving to the NFC

921
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: West and the Cardinals. What kind of season can we

922
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: expect from Kyler Murray? What kind of season does he

923
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: have to have for us to say it's to success.

924
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be able to say that after this year.

925
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be something where you gotta go

926
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: into the next offseason and see what else you can

927
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: put around him. Again, offensive line, that's a concern. I

928
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a bunch of yards buck, I

929
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, in terms drives, that's my concern

930
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: with this team. Yeah, I think there might be some

931
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: empty calories. It's a good way to put it, you know,

932
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: here's my thing and write about it. This is a

933
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: pretty boy offense. They don't want to be um physical. Uh.

934
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: They lean a lot on for next when that typically

935
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: doesn't win over the long period, over the long call.

936
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: In the NASHVILLI League, I want, I want to see

937
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: what David Johnson does. I think David Johnson is the

938
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: key because he has to be able to run the

939
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: football and cast the ball out the backfield. If they

940
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: can get him going, then it offset has some of

941
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: the pressure on um Kyla Murray. And I think this

942
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: offense ends up having, uh the ability to score points.

943
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of it is not Kyler Murray. It's

944
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: more David Johnson. Let's see what he looks like when

945
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: he returns. Better question would have been, if you gave

946
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray a month to play corner, would you be

947
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: their best corner roster to start the season due to

948
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: injury and suspension, you might be. I think you would be.

949
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: I think you would be moving on to the Rams.

950
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: How will Sean McVeigh change up the offense as teams

951
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: have started to catch up? Have they teams having teams?

952
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: Haven't Bill Belichick caught up that keying got overreacted to, Uh, Well,

953
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: they don't have to when they play one or two

954
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: games in the corner bangs. You don't have to worry

955
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: about it. Um. I think he has to be a

956
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: little more willing to switch a little bit in terms of, hey,

957
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: let's flip out, let's do a little more h twelve

958
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: personnel less, bring in two tight ends, and it's not

959
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: always be one back, one tight end, three receivers. Just

960
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,959
Speaker 1: give a little diversity. But I do understand what they're doing.

961
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: I just would like to see a little more. Alright,

962
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: forty niners, is it fair to say this is a

963
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: make or break here for Jimmy G. Yes, we don't

964
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: need the full minute there. Yes, it is a make

965
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: or break here. Expectations for Jimmy G. Then as he

966
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: comes back from a C l Angreen, I was just

967
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: saving us some time as we were going over to

968
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: the a f C. I was a nice, easy, concise answer,

969
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: very very easy, very concise. Um. I think here here's

970
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: the deal with Jimmy G. I think the way they

971
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: responded and coming off that bad, that disappointed performance was terrific.

972
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: I think cal shanahan will continue to set him up

973
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: for layups with the way that he kind of draws

974
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: up things, but he has to take his game up

975
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: Another Nie we're talking about a make or break year,

976
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: significant money on the line they can get out from

977
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: this deal. Um, I expect him to play will though.

978
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play really well. Although a week

979
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: ago hide them, I said he's fine, stop and now

980
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's he's fine. No, No, I think he's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

981
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: he's fine. Uh. Seahawks, how wild The Seahawks pass rush

982
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: group shape out after trading Frank Clark. This is again

983
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: another time where you can have hythe them insert whatever

984
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: trade took place after we've recorded this before it gets aired.

985
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: I would I think they're gonna do something Buck. I

986
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: think they'll try and add somebody so they're getting clowney.

987
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about clowney, but I think that they

988
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: need to do something. So I would think it's it's uh,

989
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: it's not a finished group right now, just because of injury.

990
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: They've got to get somebody to help. You're always looking

991
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: to upgrade, and I think that's the one thing. Uh,

992
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: anytime you have an opportunity to add a talent to

993
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: pass or because you have to knock the quarterback down,

994
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: is probably the most important thing that you do on

995
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: defense because knocking the quarterback down eventually leads to turnovers,

996
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: upgrade to passors find a way to continue to be

997
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: able to put consistent pressure on the quarterback. All right,

998
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: flipping over to the A f C. We'll start with

999
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens. What sort of jump should we expect in

1000
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: your two for Lamar? You look, Buck, I think he's

1001
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: a little bit better as a pastor. I don't think

1002
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: he'll be a lot better, And I think some people

1003
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: expecting him to curtail the running that ain't happening. I

1004
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna see him run as much, if not more,

1005
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: which means you're going to see a bunch of numbers

1006
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: on the ground for Lamar Jackson. I think the passing

1007
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: numbers will will uptick slightly, but it won't be a

1008
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: huge improvement there. Yeah, I think I think it has

1009
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: to be um a situation where Lamar Jackson is the

1010
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: focal point of the running game. I think his explosiveness,

1011
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 1: his ability to kind of do the hitting ball trick

1012
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of sets everybody up. Look, we talked about two

1013
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: in the magic number. In terms of rushing attempts. You

1014
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: never see a quarterback hit that, but I think Lamar

1015
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: Jackson hits that this year. Moving on to the Steelers,

1016
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: will Juju live up to expectations this season? Go ahead, Buck,

1017
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think so. I think. I think here's

1018
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: the thing, like, it is tough for um it. It

1019
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: is tough for Juju to move into the number one role.

1020
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: But I like what I've been seeing from them in

1021
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. He hasn't had a lot of numbers, but

1022
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: the way that they're doing scheme wise, he should be

1023
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: able to do it, crossing routes, underneath things, control passes

1024
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: that is in his wheelhouse. I think Juju is going

1025
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: to be five. I think they're gonna be a number

1026
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: one UH receiver by committee. But I think he's gonna

1027
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: have tremendous success. I think he look, his numbers were outstanding.

1028
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: It's a number two, so I think of the numbers

1029
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be there. I don't think you're gonna see

1030
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: a huge spike in numbers from him. Um But I

1031
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna see him putting up the kind

1032
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: of consistent numbers Antonio Brown was putting up. But he's

1033
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a really good year Cleveland Browns our expectations

1034
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: too high for the Browns. Yes, I just think there's

1035
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: there's steps to this process. And I'll just go back

1036
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: and give you a little history lesson. I was in Cleveland,

1037
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: he was two thousand seven, Bucket went ten and six.

1038
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: We had a quarterback Derrick Anderson coming off a Pro

1039
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: Bowl season, Braylon Edwards caught seventeen touchdowns. Kellen wins Though

1040
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: the best young Titan in the NFL went out, got

1041
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: Sean Rodgers and Corey Williams on the defensive line, and

1042
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: we were going to go to the Super Bowl. We

1043
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: had some injuries, we had some failures, we got four

1044
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: and twelve, and everybody got fired. So I'm just saying,

1045
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: just be patient here. There's a lot of talent. It's

1046
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: just gonna take a little while for it all to

1047
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: come together. So I think that the hype is a

1048
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: little bit much, you know, Like here's what I would say,

1049
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: Like the hype is is a lot in terms of

1050
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield in the offense. But Cleveland Browns are gonna

1051
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: be in the mix because of their defense. I absolutely

1052
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: believe they can go all the way. It just depends

1053
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: on what that offense does to complement this defense. Because

1054
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be lights out. I said

1055
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: them to have a top five defense. Is that a

1056
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: championship offensive line? No, but you play a good defense

1057
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: and New York, is that a championship offensive? Like championship

1058
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: caliber players everywhere? I don't know. You try, all right.

1059
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: The Bengals, Well, the Bengals surprise everyone in tread Water

1060
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: in this division. No one's talking about him. No, I

1061
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: think the Bengals. I think the Bengals are four or

1062
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: five win team. I just don't think there's enough juice. Um.

1063
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: I don't think they're good enough upfront. Um, just more

1064
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: playmakers are needed on this roster, especially defensively, Guys that

1065
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: can really make plays. I don't see many. No, they

1066
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: don't have enough. They don't have enough juice. I like

1067
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: I like some of their individual pieces. I like Joe Mixing.

1068
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: I like a j Green when he's healthy and available.

1069
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: Not in love with the quarterback. And I just don't

1070
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: know if Zach Taylor is gonna have enough creativity to

1071
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: kind of mask all their issues. I think it's gonna

1072
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: be a tough year for the Bengals the year jumping

1073
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: to the a f C East the Patriots, What position

1074
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: group will be the most important helping the Pats get

1075
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl this season. Quarterback outside of course,

1076
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good one. Look, I I think

1077
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line, if the offensive line plays

1078
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: at the level we saw last year, I mean, that's

1079
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: just gonna be a tough team to beat. Yeah, they're

1080
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna be I think they'll be a tough team to

1081
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: because they're gonna change their style. They're gonna be a

1082
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: physical team. Like you've seen him in the preseason. They

1083
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: have been a twenty one personnel team. Uh, two backs,

1084
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: one tight in coming down here behind the full back.

1085
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna play kind of rough and tumble football. And

1086
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how many teams are gonna be able

1087
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: to stand up and whether it over the course of

1088
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: a sixty mini game. All Right, Dolphins, who is the

1089
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: better option to start a QB right now? Josh Rosen

1090
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick. I think we would both say Rosen

1091
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: right had chosen to chosen one. I think Rosen has

1092
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: to be there because I don't know what you to me.

1093
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick looks like a fish out of water in

1094
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: this system when they have them under center, asking to

1095
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: do play action passes and the like. He is a

1096
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: guy into being a shot Offen. Yeah, I mean I

1097
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: didn't mean to do that. That wasn't deliberate. That was

1098
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: just creativity. But yeah, I just think I just think.

1099
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: I just think Josh Rosen is probably the one that

1100
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: you need to do because if Josh Rosen can't play,

1101
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: then it allows you to say, Okay, we gotta focus

1102
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: on every soon getting a gown to draft. Yeah. To me,

1103
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: I think you gotta evaluate Josh Rosen. That's what this

1104
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: year is all about. It's a success for the Dolphins

1105
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: if they just know what they have and Rosen who

1106
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: has the all right? Moving to the Bills, you got

1107
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: me who will have the better seat? Which Josh Allen

1108
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: will have the better season? Was that it? Yes, I'm

1109
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna say Josh Allen the quarterback has the better year.

1110
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the quarterback. I'm kind of with that. A

1111
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: bunch of rushing yards he's been I have been seeing

1112
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: how they've been playing with him, some of the quick screen,

1113
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: some of the quick stuff that they're doing on offense,

1114
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: empty formation. Coles Beasley is gonna have a big year.

1115
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: I think Cold Beasley may have one hundred catches when

1116
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to it, because he's the guy that

1117
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It's targeting a lot, uh milk. He may

1118
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: only average eight yards of catch, but a hundred he

1119
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: may hae a hundred. Well, Josh Allen to have more

1120
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards than whoever starts at running back for them.

1121
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: Uh Man, you know it's it's just because I think.

1122
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't think committee. Yeah, and I don't think. I

1123
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: wonder if Shade McCoy is even gonna be around moving

1124
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: to the Jets. Are you worried Levan Bell is gonna

1125
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: be rusty rust running back? Take two games to shake

1126
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: it off. He'd be ready to go. He's gonna have

1127
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: a big year moving too the a f C South.

1128
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: Can the Colts still win the division? With Jacobe per

1129
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: said under center, it's tougher. I never say never, but

1130
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't see it happening. See this,

1131
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: This is why they probably could have made and maybe

1132
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: should have made the move for Levan Bell, because now

1133
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: they need to running back. Um, they look, I like

1134
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack, but they need they need to, dude, because

1135
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: now they're gonna have to play a little different and

1136
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: they need to be able to grind it out. I

1137
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: just don't know if Marlon Mack can give them enough

1138
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: of that, you can give them twelve of yards to

1139
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: offset some of the pressure on Jacob set. Yeah. Look,

1140
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: he's a good player, but there's a drop off, just

1141
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: a little bit, just a little, just a little bit.

1142
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: Move into the Texas well. DeAndre Hopkins post seventeen hundred

1143
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: receiving yards this season. He had fifteen seventy two last year.

1144
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: Sevent Wow, he's gonna have a great year. But I

1145
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: don't that's a man. I think they spread around more. Yeah,

1146
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a little more balanced. They

1147
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: got too many good players on this side of the

1148
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: ball for him to get everything. I think he has

1149
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: a big year. Sevent d a little rich for me. Alright, Titans,

1150
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: How short is the leash Marcus Mariota is on with

1151
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: the addition of Tannehill. This is the interesting one because

1152
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: originally when they signed him, I didn't think the leash

1153
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: was on him, but then he was so bad against

1154
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Still is that I just worry about I

1155
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: kind of worry about it. I don't know. I don't

1156
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: think that. Look, I think the leash is short enough

1157
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: that if you're gonna if you're gonna walk a dog

1158
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: on a lease like this, you have to be squatting

1159
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: like a catcher because that that that's not a long lease.

1160
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: You can just walk upright. I think it's a very

1161
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: short leash. I don't think they'll wait very long to

1162
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: make a change there. If he doesn't get off to

1163
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: a hot start. I think he has to play well

1164
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: coming out the gate, especially with Ryan Tannehill kind of

1165
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: being there. And look, he always looks better when he's

1166
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 1: playing against those backups or whatever. But man, Marcus Mariote,

1167
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of scary that you're not seeing a jump

1168
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: in development from it. Moving to the Jags, what will

1169
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's offense look like when Nick Foles and new offensive

1170
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: coordinator John d. Filippo reuniting. This is your division winner here, buck,

1171
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, Buck, you're that you pick the Jacks to

1172
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? Here you might as well take

1173
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't pick him to win the Super Bowl,

1174
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: but I do believe they can be better. I think

1175
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: here's the here's the trick. It depends on how forceful

1176
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: Doug Marone is with John D. Philippo. If he tells him, hey, man,

1177
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: run the ball and stick to it because this is

1178
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: who we are. They'll be fine. But he kind of

1179
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: very deviation, goes down his own path, they could be

1180
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: in trouble. I think the Jags defense is lights out

1181
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: and they have to play offense to complement their defense.

1182
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: That means a lot of Leonard four Nette, a lot

1183
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 1: of running. I think somehow he gets the message because

1184
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to get canned into the lee again.

1185
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: To me, it's gonna mention to see who the number

1186
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: two receiving option ends up being. Deeed Westbrook's gonna have

1187
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: a good year. He fits in beautifully. They need either

1188
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: DJ Shark, you know, Mark Easley, Chris Connelly, one of

1189
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: those guys got to step up and be a nice

1190
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: number two move into the a f C West Our

1191
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: Final division the Chiefs. Do you think Patrick Mahomes will

1192
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: throw fifty touchdowns again? Mm hmm, Wow, fifty is a

1193
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: big number, buck, But you know what, I'll say he

1194
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: can just because the weapons they have and when you

1195
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: factor in some of the shovels and and little flips

1196
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: that they counts touchdown passes, um, I think it's achievable.

1197
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: As crazy as that sounds, back to back fifty touchdown

1198
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: seasons back to back, fifties, back to back. I'm gonna

1199
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: go yard line and you shovel it forward. I mean

1200
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: they get he's gonna get ten of those. He's gonna

1201
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: get because they don't have a legitimate running back, Like

1202
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: they don't have a big time running back that you

1203
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: really worry about. So yes, he goes fifty again, back

1204
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: to back. Five. Oh all right, Broncos. Will Joe Flacco

1205
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 1: guy this team back into the playoffs? Not the playoffs,

1206
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: but I think they're eight and eight team. I think

1207
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: there maybe even a nine win team, eight nine win team,

1208
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: just because the defense is so good. Offensive line scares me. Uh,

1209
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line is a little scary, but I like

1210
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: this offensive system for Joe Flacco. I'm not saying they

1211
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs because there are two teams that

1212
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: are better than them in their own division. So I

1213
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: don't know where they make up the ground. I think

1214
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: the charges in the chiefs go before the Broncos Raiders.

1215
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: Who has more pressure on than the season John Rooden,

1216
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: Derek Carr or a b all of the above? Right? Oh,

1217
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr for me? John Gruney going anywhere that that

1218
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of money. He's gonna he'll be with that team

1219
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 1: going into Vegas. Antonio Brown, he's got something to prove.

1220
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: But to me, Derek Carr is the one who has

1221
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: the most approved. Yeah, Derek Carr has the most approved

1222
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: because I think I thought they can get out from

1223
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: up under this kind contract last offseason. I think he

1224
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: has to perform well. Now he has no excuses A

1225
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: B s there, They've upgraded other weapons around him. It's

1226
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: time for Derrick Carter play like we saw a couple

1227
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: of years ago our last team, the Chargers. Outside of

1228
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, who will be the most important player in

1229
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: helping the team win the a f C West Melvin Gordon.

1230
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: Didn't need Melvin Gordon to come back. Like I like,

1231
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: I like Austin Ecklin, and I like Jackson, but I

1232
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: think at some point you have to have someone that,

1233
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: uh puts a little fear in the defense. And I'm

1234
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: not saying that Melvin Gordon is a Tier one running back,

1235
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: but I do believe the fact that he can do

1236
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. He can run, he can

1237
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: catch it out the backfield, he can't score touchdowns. He

1238
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: is something that he's someone that you have to at

1239
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: least talk about in the meeting room during the scouting report.

1240
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if those other guys create the same

1241
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of concern and worry for defense coordinators. I'm gonna

1242
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: give you a random name here. It's Trent scott Um,

1243
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: the left tackle and his second year is undrafted player

1244
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: at the Grambling who's having to hold down the fort

1245
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 1: for Russell Coon until he's back healthy. Uh so can

1246
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: he hold up or they have to constantly put a

1247
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: tight end next to him to help him out. He's

1248
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 1: gonna be key to see if this Charger's offense keeps

1249
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 1: humming Chargers. Nice little money dropped there. That's hit my friends.

1250
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: That was fun. Hit them. Well done. You're gonna be

1251
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: all back there putting those questions together. That was nice.

1252
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, and Bill was a huge help. Nicely done.

1253
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: Uh anything else you want to add here? Buck? What

1254
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: are you working on before we get out of here? Nothing? Man,

1255
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: I just finished doing all these preseason grades, all these rookies.

1256
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that the preseason is almost coming to

1257
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: a conclusion so I don't have to do these grades.

1258
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: Not My favorite thing to do is hard to watch

1259
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: all these games and pick out one player and study.

1260
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: That's a lot. It's a lot for grades. You know,

1261
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: that's a lot of taking. Yeah, it's a lot. It's

1262
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot. So no, So I'm uh finished working on that.

1263
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: I am working on the notebook, trying to come over
