Speaker 1: North Carolina and South Camina. But I show you later.

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Don't don't, don't worry about it, no big deal for

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: the second best team in the Carolina is behind Clemson.

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean it is all right, boys, let's uh, let's

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: get to these takeaways before Red starts continuing to talk

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: about who's your football team that even he doesn't really

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: even care about. Um, I'll start us off here. First

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: of all, with the New Orleans Saints. It's not Eastern,

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: but they laid an egg seven minutes to go in

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: the game right now in Atlanta, leaks about fourteen points

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: straight drop. Breeze looks sacked again a fifth time. Grady

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Jared and Adrian Clayborne. So a big Grady is Reeky

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: happy on the inside. I'm glad the way that was

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: framed with that call because talking about Grady Jarrett creaking

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: havoc on the inside, because that's exactly what happened. And Buck,

35
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I want to get to you on this because when

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: I look at the at the Saints and their two

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: losses the Rams game, I know that Drew Brees got

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: hurt in that game, but that's a game that was

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: dominated by the interior defensive front of the Rams. And

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: then you fast forward to this one, Grady Jarrett was dominant. Uh,

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: really disruptive throughout the whole game. So that interior pressure

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks, we always talk about, Uh, interior pressure is

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: the way you get to them. Those are the best

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: to interior groups that they've seen thus far. We talked

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: about Aaron Donald and Grady Jarrett and they lost both

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: those football games. And so when I look down the road, Um,

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: they've got Bucks Panthers. They'll get another shot at the

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Falcons again. So we'll see how they perform in Atlanta

49
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: on that one. But then December eight, forty niners. That

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: to me is there, you know, kind of the elite

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: test awaiting them down the road. So between now and

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: then Buck, they've got to figure out some things inside

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get in the postseason, you're gonna see teams, Uh,

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: they can generate some heat inside. They've got to be

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: better inside. They have to be better inside. The Achilles

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: Hell for Drew Brees has always been gut pressure right

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: up to the middle. Because he's a guy that stands

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: at six ft six one. When you bring pressure in

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: his face, and because he doesn't really run around, it

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: makes it tougher for him to find his receivers down

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: the field. And so You talked about Grady Jarrett and

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the games that the Falcons were playing up front. The twist,

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: the stunts, everything was designed to really attack the A

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: gaps and it frustrated and disrupted the rhythm of the

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: passing game for the Saints. You talked about looking ahead

66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: to the San Francisco Forts and the teams that are

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: going to be in the tournament. All of those teams

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: have people that are inside that can disrupt and dominate

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: the game. For the Saints to be the team that

70
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: we think they can be, they're going to have to

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: solve that interior pressure. It's going to have to be

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: a situation where they play better upfront on their offensive line,

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: and that will determine whether this ends up being just

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: a fluke, a blip on the Raiders screen. Like we

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of feel like now after seeing this week uh,

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: the Week nine loss for the Packers in l A

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: to the Chargers was kind of just all right, that

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that wasn't quite the norm, right. They figured it out,

79
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: They got back to Packers football in Week ten, will

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: get to that game here shortly. But that's what the

81
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Saints have to figure out in order to make this

82
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: that kind of game that kind of all right, let's

83
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: just throw that one out. Let's move on, let's get

84
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: back to being the Saints. The other thing to pay

85
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: attention to here, and it's a lot of talk in

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans about it this morning, as it's kind of

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: always the case following a Saints loss. As penalties twelve

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: penalties in this game, they killed themselves. I'm talking on

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: a seventeen play drive for the Falcons. They extended that

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: drive three times by giving them first downs on penalties

91
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: that the Falcons ended up capitalizing on. So look, I

92
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: thought if the Falcons were gonna win this game, it

93
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: was gonna be thirty eight thirty five, not twenty six

94
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: to nine. You know, it was that kind of thing. Yeah,

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about the Falcons um to get back.

96
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: This is the Falcons team that we all thought we

97
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: were gonna see at the beginning of the year, a

98
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: team that looked like a legitimate team that could compete

99
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: in NFC. And I think the coaching shake up, I

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: think we have to discuss what uh Dan Quinn did

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: this week. What he did is he put Raheem Morris

102
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: back on the defensive side, and Raheem Morris did more

103
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: stuff with the secondary, and I do wonder did Raheem

104
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Morris have a hand in calling the defense because he

105
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: has been a defensive coordinator in the past. Because this

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: Falcons defense looked better. They looked like they were really

107
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: in tune to what they wanted to do, and we

108
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: saw a dominant performance from them that we hadn't seen

109
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: and maybe like the last year and a half. And Buck,

110
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. Steve White actually talked

111
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: to Raheem Morris last night after that win for the

112
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Saint win for the Falcons, and uh, he's gonna have

113
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: some of that conversation and why those position changes were

114
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: such a big key for the Falcons going into this game.

115
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: Will have that for you. Little tease DJ on the aftermath.

116
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to be I actually wanted to know,

117
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: but we'll get there. Go ahead, Buck, what you got.

118
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson enters the m v P race. R Jackson

119
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: out of the pistol, play action, steps up, fire to

120
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: the end zone. He's got his man, Mark Andrews touchdown.

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Ravens keep talking about the tight ends. Three for three,

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: three possessions, three touchdown drives. Dj Um, We've talked about

123
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, and we talked about Lamar Jackson the

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: last few weeks, and it's been a nice story because

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: we talked about the offense working and the way Greg

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Roman and this staff has kind of built this offense

127
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: around him. You talked about the track team that they

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: put on the outside. But now I believe we begive

129
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: We need to kind of start having that conversation about

130
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and what he's doing in this offense that

131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: makes him worthy of consideration as an m v P.

132
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: In this game alone, fifteen seventeen, twenty three, three touchdowns,

133
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: another sixt or five yards on the ground, and a

134
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: spectacular run that finished with a touchdown. Lamar Jackson in

135
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: this offense is one of the elite players at this position.

136
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: And I know that we typically look at the quarterback

137
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: position in terms of how you play from the pocket,

138
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: but the way that he is kind of playing as

139
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: the point man of this offense that is very unique,

140
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: in unorthodox. He might be the most valuable playing to

141
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: lead because I don't know if anybody can jump into

142
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: his office and do what he's been asked to do. Yeah,

143
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: and it's been impressive when you look at this team. Now,

144
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: you come off of a game where you you deliver

145
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: on a big stage against the New England Patriots. They

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: win that game thirty And there's teams. There are teams,

147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 1: and we know we see it every year in every

148
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: sport where you rise to the level of your competition

149
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: and then you all of a sudden, now you get

150
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a letdown game and you play

151
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: a bad team and you kind of, you know, just

152
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: kind of mess around and ends up being a game.

153
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: This is a team. This is a skill when you

154
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: can put bad teams away. And when I look at

155
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: the way the season started um for for Lamar Jackson,

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: and you look at what they did to the Miami

157
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins to ten. You see a bad team, you you

158
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: put them down. And I think you saw it in

159
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: this game as well. They put this team away early.

160
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: And Lamar Jackson, you know, you talk about the track team,

161
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what we are idea of how

162
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: to build this team around him. Track team and tight ends.

163
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's the formula. And Marquis Brown early on

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: the game deep post and then next thing, you know,

165
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: that loosens up everything underneath for all those tight ends.

166
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was a beautiful game planner. I thought,

167
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I'm with you, Buck, He's in the He's

168
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: in the m v P discussion. He absolutely belongs in that.

169
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: And I've been impressed with the way he's continued to

170
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: grow and evolve is with his accuracy and touch Two

171
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: quick things for me on Lamar the run, the spin,

172
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown run minus the stakes. It was better than

173
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: Mike Vix against the Vikings. Oh yeah, it was better.

174
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: It was more impressive, right because because of the spin.

175
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: Now Vix came in a way bigger spot. Right, that

176
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: was huge. It's a walk off winner, right, so that

177
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: one still gets still gets the top billing. But man,

178
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: Lamar is gonna have more of those. Well, no, I

179
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I just think that the spin move, like just the

180
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: awareness saying it's funny because you go back, you watched

181
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the way that he performed in Louisville and you will

182
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: see some of those things. But you always wanted National

183
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: Football leagu against better players, players that are faster and

184
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: more violent. Canny continue to do the same things. And

185
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: I think what has been most impressive by Lamar Jackson

186
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: his ability to deliver these impact plays have been on

187
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: par with what he was able to do in college,

188
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: and you wonder about like, hey, what's the long term deal,

189
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: Like how how long can you play like that? I

190
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: think if you're the Baltimore Ravens, you can't really worry

191
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: about that. You look at it in a vacuum like, look,

192
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: we got his Rickey contract and maybe laugh that. Let's

193
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: let's see what we can do to maximize him playing

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: the way that he has to play to excel, and

195
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: then we'll deal with the other stuff down the road.

196
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: But right now, this offense works. Greg Roman really has

197
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: done a great job of continue to add pieces to

198
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: the offense, makes it very very hard and difficult to defend. Yeah,

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: one thing, this team they got the third down six times.

200
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: That's how doubt but that they were. There were four

201
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: six on third down knife through Butter, Yeah, yeah, exactly right.

202
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: It was it was first and second down. That that's

203
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: all we need. Four downs. You can have four downs.

204
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: We'll take care of everything in two downs. I mean,

205
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: it was dominant performance. The last thing I'll say on

206
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: that one and then I'll get us to the third

207
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: takeaway here, Um, we gave Patrick Ricard a lot of

208
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: credit as a fullback. Against the Patriots, and rightly so.

209
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: He was a big part of that rush game. How

210
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: about the strip sack he had. How about on Ryan

211
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Finley pushing the pocket from the career a little two

212
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: way player, he spends a lot of time offense and

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: defense for the Ravens valuable player, another one of those guys.

214
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: Um that's a big part of the Ravens success. Here. Okay,

215
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, real quick, right by

216
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the way, real quick. The uh I just looked at

217
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: the record. I wanted to just double check. Yep. But

218
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals are bur oh and nine Oh. Isn't that

219
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: look in one game? It's no longer tank for to h.

220
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: It's all about Burrow, right, because yeah, we're gonna get there.

221
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: Both of those quarterbacks were very very Saturday night. They

222
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: were all right, I'll give us a takeaway. Number three.

223
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh pressures the Rams into defeat. Thirty seconds left Siva's

224
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: lead of seven team twelve. The Rams with the ball

225
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: first and fifteen from their forty two shotgun snap back

226
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: is gone. He has time. He throws the ball down

227
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: the field. It NCA has it in that ship ball game.

228
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: Mc fitzpatrick for this fifth Offsky of the Year and

229
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: tip tip by Showy. Look d J. Buckey. I want

230
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: to get your your take on Manka Fitzpatrick here in

231
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: just a minute, but I want to go in on

232
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: the pressure. I mentored it, mentioned it in the little

233
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: tagline there. It is both literal pressure in this game

234
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: on Jared Goff and now the figurative pressure on the

235
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: Rams to try to remain a playoff contender, because both

236
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: of those things were trouble and our trouble now for

237
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: the Rams. So here we go before we go off

238
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: and say that the Rams offensive line is not up

239
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: to the standard that we've seen in the first two

240
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: years of the Sean McVeigh, which it's not. That's clear.

241
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: We gotta give some credit to Pittsburgh here. I mean,

242
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: it felt like they collapsed the pocket almost immediately on

243
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: almost every dropback that Jared Goff had. They sacked him

244
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: four times, They pressured him on fifteen and forty five

245
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: drop backs. Actually thought it was a lot more than that.

246
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: It felt like a lot more than that, And that's

247
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: credit to what they were doing on defense there. Um.

248
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: And then the other part is the or turnovers, three

249
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: of them offensively, one of them was on the Hecker

250
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: punt fake drop back, which was I don't know what

251
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: that was, but it was. It was a hard I

252
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: was waiting for them to call time out and get

253
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: out of that. It's just they never did. So here's

254
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: the other thing. On the forty five dropbacks, he Jared

255
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: Goff was sacked four times. Okay, he completed twenty two

256
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: passes in this game, so he was he was about

257
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: it a little over fifty percent completion. The Steelers picked

258
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: off two of them, and they got their hands on

259
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: thirteen others. They broke up thirteen Jared Goff passes. Joe

260
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: Hayden had five of them on his own. It got

261
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to the point for the Steelers defense where one I

262
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: was surprised if Jared Goff got the ball off, and

263
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: two I was surprised if it didn't end up somehow

264
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: in the hands of a Pittsburgh Steeler. That's how inept

265
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: it had become for the Rams and how dominant it

266
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: had become for the Steelers. Now, look, if if you know,

267
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that Sean McVeigh is is a

268
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: coach who I can I have confidence in and figuring

269
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: this thing out for the Rams but maybe their offensive

270
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: line doesn't allow them to do that this year. It's

271
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: it's been that troublesome. It's been that troublesome. But I

272
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: want to use the positive part of what you talked

273
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: about with the Pittsburgh still is in their defense. UM.

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: A lot of times, DJ and we've had this discussion

275
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: UM players over picks, and when the Pittsburgh Still has

276
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: made a move to get Menca Fitzpatrick, there's a lot

277
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: of conversation about why would you give up a first

278
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: round pick? This season is imperil without Ben Roethlisberger. UM,

279
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: But what we're seeing known commodities have in the ability

280
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to really instantaneously upgrade your team. We saw with Laramy,

281
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: Tussel and Houston. We're sitting with Menka, Fitzpatrick, Mink and Fitzpatrick.

282
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Sin's coming over to the Steelers has been an absolute

283
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: dominant player. He has been worthy of being the eleventh

284
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: pick in the draft where he was selected, and he

285
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: has I don't wanna say he is the sole reason

286
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: why they're past defense has changed, but when you get

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: six interceptions since your arrival, that says something. Be defensive

288
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: player of the year, Bond might be defensive player and

289
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: exact and what they've done, and we've talked about this

290
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: on path to the draft. Fit in scheme is important.

291
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: They got him and instead of trying to make him

292
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: a jack of all trades player, they positioned him as

293
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: a deep middle player. He is the free safety. He

294
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: is unabled to he's allowed to really just look at

295
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the eyes of a quarterback and make plays. He's a

296
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: ball hawk and we're seeing that play out. I think

297
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: so much of what the Steelers at being able to

298
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: do defensively is because they had a vision for how

299
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: they wanted making Fitzpatrick to play, and it is really

300
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: worked with what they had the greater vision of the defense,

301
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: they are dominant and right now I think you have

302
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: to talk about them being a playoff team because right

303
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: now they feel like they can play old Pittsburgh football

304
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: with their defense leading away and it's working for him. Yeah,

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: let me let me get a couple of things you

306
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: hit there. Uh, you know, he's got five he's got

307
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: five picks since he went there, which is ridiculous and

308
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: that amount and that short amount of time. But but but buck,

309
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: let's let's think about this first thing. If we were

310
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna do let's call uh three level trios, right, all

311
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: three levels of the defense. If you went league wide

312
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: and said you gotta take one player from the front,

313
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: one player from the linebacker position, and one player from

314
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: the back end, I don't know that there is a

315
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: group that's better than the Steelers you'd want to build around.

316
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: If you're talking about going to the future. T J.

317
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: Watt is twenty five years old. Uh, Devin Bush is

318
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: twenty one years old at linebacker. Make it. Fitzpatrick is

319
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: twenty two years old at safety. So you talk about

320
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: all three levels of your defense having big time, elite

321
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: impact players. Now that front has a bunch of other

322
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: good players too. When you talk about Heyward, um, you

323
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: look at the way the Bud Dupreez really started to

324
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: come on. But just those three guys, I think I

325
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: might take those over any other three in the league

326
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: when you're talking about building a defense. Can we do that?

327
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: By the way, in the off season, can we go

328
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: through the video? Yeah? Can we do that? Can we

329
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: do each level? Yeah? Yeah, let's all right, Just Mark,

330
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: I like that idea real quick, boys. I want to

331
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: get yeah, I do very much. I want to get

332
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: to this other thing on the ramps here, real quick,

333
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: because Buck, I want to get your thoughts on this.

334
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: When I watch this tape, um, when there's no illusion

335
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: of run ramps stink. I mean, if they're in shotgun

336
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: and it's just pure dropback, which they did a bunch,

337
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I hate it. Man, to me, get under center.

338
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: If you don't want to give the ball to Todd Gurley,

339
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: that's fine, but at least you have the illusion of

340
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley when everybody in the whole stadium knows you're

341
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: just dropping back to throw the football. They're not good

342
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: enough upfront the block people. They're not good enough to

343
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: make things happen. So to me, I I just I

344
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: don't understand that. Get under center, and if you want

345
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: to throw the football, use the a loser run play action.

346
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Let them at least worry and think about Todd Gurley.

347
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: You just take it. You just take a normal three

348
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: to five, you know, three or five from the gun

349
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: with no play action. They're it's not any good man.

350
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. No, I don't like it. And

351
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: and I'll say this goes all the way back to

352
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: what they really haven't done this year, which is what

353
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: they did the previous two years. Remember all the fly

354
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: sweep action that we used to see from the L

355
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: A Rams and you remember how they used to give

356
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: it to everybody, Brandon Cookes, Cooper Cub, Robert Woods, everybody

357
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: on the perimeter would touch the ball. And what that

358
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: did is that made the defense stop them. Not only

359
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: uh worrying about Todd Gurley, but you have to stop

360
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: him horizontal from side to side. And what has happened

361
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has gotten away from that part of their offense.

362
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: A lot of what they were able to do in

363
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: the running game those first two years he was there

364
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: was deception, MR direction, kind of smoking mirrors offensive football.

365
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: They're not doing that anymore. So he has to get

366
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: back to it in the league in Russian. Yeah, he

367
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: has to get back to leaning on the run game,

368
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: using the MR direction and deception of the fly sweep

369
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: stuff and being committed to it. And I think he

370
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: has fallen into the trap of a lot of what

371
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: a lot of office coordinators fall into, their intoxicated with

372
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: the big play. He has to get back on the

373
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: grind and then the grind will lead to the big plays.

374
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: And in that vein Jared Golf has gone from a

375
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: top ten least pressured quarterback a year ago to a

376
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: borderline top ten most pressured quarterback this year. Big difference, absolutely.

377
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: I'll keep us moving here, but again, I just want

378
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: to reiterate, if you don't want to run it, that's fine.

379
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: At least give us the illusion to run. Um. That's

380
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: something that they've got to figure out there and get

381
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: corrected for Sean McVeigh and company. All right, let's get

382
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: things going to a game. I'm sure everybody was really

383
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: locked in and watching the Battle of New York the

384
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: Snoopy Bowl. Uh, the Jets, Yes, the Jets. I guess

385
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: they have a pass rush. Third down in a long

386
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: one close to Barkley, blown set back, bunch, set right,

387
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: play action, Jones back to throw under some pressure, he'll

388
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: be hit. Jamal Addams takes the ball away. He's gonna

389
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: run right and score. Jamal Adams to the five, is

390
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: into the end zone for a touchdown. Six sacks here

391
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: for the Jets, a team that doesn't really have much

392
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: pass rush. But you saw there or you heard there,

393
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams with the sack, the really the hat trick there,

394
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: the sack, take the ball away and score. Um. He

395
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: had two sacks in this ball game. They rolled him up.

396
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: He was very aggressive coming off the edge. He destroyed

397
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley in past protection and Sparkley had a

398
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: tough time with him, uh in this ball game. So

399
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: to me generating pass rush where you don't really have one,

400
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: I tip my cap there to Greg Williams UM and

401
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: I think on the other side of things, Daniel Jones,

402
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: and you look at the box score yards, four touchdowns,

403
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: o picks, Uh, looks pretty darn good. But man, the

404
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: funking thing has got to get figured out. I think

405
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: he might be. It was he a thirteen fumbles or

406
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Now it is ridiculous the number of fumbles.

407
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: So that is an area he's going to have to

408
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: clean up going forward. Yeah, he has to clean it up.

409
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: He has he has to show better pocket awareness. I

410
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: think it's one of those things that young quarterbacks have

411
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: to know that in the National Football League, defensive players

412
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: they are hunting the ball at all times. They're swiping

413
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: at it, they're punching at it, they're aggressively going because

414
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: everyone understands the value of the takeaway. Um. I think

415
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: I would like to look at this Jets defense and

416
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: what they were able to do. You talk about the

417
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: pass first pressure, being able to get a number of

418
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: defenders around the quarterback, using Jamal Adams and putting him

419
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: near the line of scrimmage and letting him have an

420
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: impact on the game. The one thing that we can

421
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: talk about Jamal. Jamal is not necessarily a ball hawk,

422
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: but he's a playmaker and I thought Greg Williams did

423
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: a great job of deploying him the way that you

424
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: have to. You have to make him a box defender.

425
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: You have to make him somewhere and that can impact

426
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: the game, not only as a run defense, but as

427
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: a past defender, be it as a blitzer. Greg Williams

428
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: understands how to use number thirty three, and number thirty

429
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: three came up in big time fashion, quick positive, quick

430
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: negative for the Giants. And this one because that's what

431
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: I was mostly looking at. Here se Kwan sneezes and

432
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: he gets a yard, like to have one singular yard.

433
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: And obviously there were some gains and some losses that

434
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: were product of that final tally. That's not right. Something

435
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: something's messed up there for them to figure out. I

436
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: know the need Solder went out with the concussion in

437
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: this game, UM, but that that can't happen obviously. Moving

438
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: forward positively though, for the Giants, they have found something

439
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones and Darius Slayton. That connection is impressive

440
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: and it's not just been this game. This is his

441
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: second multiple touchdown game this season. They have found themselves

442
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: a little groove and that's exciting for Giants fans moving forward.

443
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: The two things on the things that you brought up

444
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: one anyone to study se Kwon Barkley and college knew

445
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: that he's more of a Barry Sanders like producer, meaning

446
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: you go see negative run, run, big run. That's how

447
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: he played at Penn State. So a little bit of

448
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: this is who he is and who he always has been.

449
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: That connection that you talked about with UM, Daniel Jones

450
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: and Slayton, sometimes that is a byproduct of those guys

451
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: working together on the practice field when Daniel Jones was

452
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: not the starting quarterback, he was working with the twos

453
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: and sometimes running the scout team. He develops the chemistry

454
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: and a connection with the guys who are also running

455
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: with those teams, and so I am not surprised to

456
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: see him kind of have a comfort zone and a

457
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: comfort level with a player that is kind of under

458
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: the radar, but because they had so many reps working

459
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: together on scout team and on the practice field, I

460
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: think that's what you're seeing play out in games. And

461
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: it's not a disrespect to go to tape, but it's

462
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: just how it works out. Alright, Buck, I think you're

463
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: up next here, Pal. Titans find success with Tanning him

464
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: at him, Panna him looking, looking, firing over the Humprey

465
00:21:52,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: five Titans tighten, tightens, Adam play three yards. The Titans

466
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: lead thirty three to two. You know, this Tennessee Titans

467
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: team was kind of I mean, I don't know. They

468
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: were just kind of lost on offense, and then they

469
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: made the move to go and get Ryan Tannehill, like

470
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: in terms of insert him into the starting lineup, and

471
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: what we've seen is an offense that has a little

472
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: more confidence. Um, they're composed, and a lot of his

473
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: stems from the guy that is at QB one. I'm

474
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: not saying that Ryan Tannehill is a top ten quarterback,

475
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is he is the right guy

476
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: for this offense at this time. His ability to manage

477
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the offense, his ability to come up and make some plays.

478
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: He may be a little bit more of a risk

479
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: taker than Marcus Mariota, and because of that, you have

480
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: to defend the entire field. Now, his stadline doesn't. While

481
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: you thirteen for nineteen eighty one pass yards two touchdowns,

482
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: he added thirty seven Russian yards. But because there's a confidence, uh,

483
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: there's a confidence from the offensive coordinator and from Mike

484
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: Rabel that he can make some timely plays when they

485
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: need to be made. It has allowed them to compliment

486
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: a running game that has shown some dominant UH flashes

487
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry and it's just the right thing for them.

488
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know if Ryan Tannehill is a better

489
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: player than Mark Mariotta, but I know he's a better

490
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: fit for what they want to do. Well. I want

491
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: to get to Red on this one, because Red, I

492
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: know Bucky's a big m m A fan. I don't

493
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: know if you are, but I don't know if you've

494
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: ever heard of the term kind of dirty boxing, right,

495
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: you want to get in kind of a street fight

496
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: when you're in the cage. And it's just um to

497
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: me that Chiefs this Chief's team when you look at

498
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: their last sixteen games or nine and seven. Okay, darn

499
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: near five hundred football team. And when you try and

500
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: find a common theme for the most part, as they

501
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: find themselves getting in these street fights, getting beat up

502
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: and and Derrick Henry to me, uh, just jam on

503
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: the ball down their throats. We saw the Colts uh

504
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: do this which earlier this year, so much of the

505
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: focus was on there, you know, the man coverage that

506
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: they played, and that was the takeaway coming out of

507
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: that game. But the other side of it, they just

508
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: ran the ball down their throats and we're just more

509
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: physical than they were. And I don't know, you know,

510
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: it's that old phrase, you know, how are you when

511
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: you get punched in the face? And Pat Mahomes had

512
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: a huge game. He was plenty good enough to win,

513
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: but it's hard when you can't, when your defense can't

514
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: get off the field because you're getting ball jammed down

515
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: your throat. And that's what happened in this ball game.

516
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: And I think that that also is a correlation to

517
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: the brand of offense that we've seen from the Chiefs

518
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: as well. They're not they're not truly physical on offense either,

519
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: which which is a departure from what we've seen the

520
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: last year plus from the Chiefs, right. I mean you

521
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: saw Kareem Hunt beginning of the year before, of last

522
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: year and the year before, and then you saw Damien

523
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: Williams at the end of last year was a major

524
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: force for the Kansas City Chiefs in the run game.

525
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: We have not seen the run game take shape for

526
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this year. And while yes, Mahomes has been

527
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: really good and he can keep the offensive float, I

528
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: think that you know, the run defense and the run

529
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: offense can kind of go hand in hand there, which

530
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: brings me to the Titans on this one. Are the

531
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Titans a team that's built to come from behind? That

532
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: is a question that we have asked and seen answered

533
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: in the last four plus years, weekend and week out.

534
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: In the answer was no. But with Ryan Tannehill, they

535
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: can come from behind. Uh now over three almost three

536
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: h yards and a couple of these games, but the

537
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: yards don't even matter. It's when the yards have come

538
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: especially in this last this last game, that last drive. Yes,

539
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: they were aided by that strange field goal situation that

540
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: the Colts had and the intentional grounding. All that was

541
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: really weird, but they took advantage of their opportunities. Tannehill

542
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: was clutch, and while Derrick Henry is the catalyst of

543
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: that offense, Tannehill is the compliment. And that is the

544
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: formula for the Titans to make it work. And we

545
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: saw it manifests itself. And what a feeling that is

546
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: for Tennessee to now get the win, go to five hundred,

547
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: and go into the by feeling really good about themselves

548
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: in the team that has a real opportunity here in

549
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: the wild card, maybe even in the in the n

550
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: f C South when it's all said and done, Yeah,

551
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: they do have an opportunity. Like this quarterback has worked

552
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: and the way they play. You talked about their dirty football.

553
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: He works with him. All right, I'll get us moving

554
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: here to the takeaway number six, and that is the

555
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Packers re established the run. Roger shotgun. He's got Jones

556
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: to his right, the snap, the kid Jones up the

557
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: middle of Toun and back Hey to the tend of

558
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: the five to the end z touchdown step through a

559
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: tackle attempt by Luke Key, clear of all people yard

560
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: touchdown run and Aaron Jones is doing for the Packers

561
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: what a shot up maker's mark would do for your

562
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: middle life. Taking it to another. Goodness, what I mean, look,

563
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: I love it, Bryan Blog. I had a great block

564
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know what his drink of choices. My goodness,

565
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: what a call there from the Packers radio crew. I mean,

566
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: it made me thirsty. But I can't wait to work

567
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: on that going deep. I appreciate that. But now, look, now,

568
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: can't That's exactly the call that I would have picked

569
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: out with the tagline that I came up there with there.

570
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: But I am not just talking about re establishing the

571
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: run on offense, talking about re establishing the run defense

572
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: as well. Uh So they limited Christian McCaffrey, limited Christian

573
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: McCaffrey to a hundred eight rushing yards, which absolutely feels

574
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: like a win, doesn't it. It feels like it win,

575
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: especially for a defense in the Packers that in their

576
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: two losses this season were dominated on the ground by

577
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles and then also by the Chargers just a

578
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: week ago. So they figured it out and then, I

579
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: mean the perfect picture was at the very end of

580
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: the game, the snow falling a Lambeau and a defense

581
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: rises up to make a goal line stand on the

582
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: most prolific rusher in the NFL, Right now in the

583
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: most prolific running game and they hold them, uh to

584
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: preserve a victory. That was huge for the Packers in

585
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: the run defense. And they can continue that. Man, this

586
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: is truly a good team moving forward. And then obviously

587
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: they go back to the run on offense. I mean,

588
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't the best rushing performance by a

589
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: team we've seen, but it was more like what's been

590
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: a big part of the Packers offensive success this season.

591
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: They went twenty seven carries a hundred and sixty three

592
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: yards at six a clip on the ground. That's a

593
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: recipe for success, especially when you compare it to what

594
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: they did a week ago against the Chargers, which was

595
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: total for the day eleven carries in forty five yards.

596
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: That was a marked improvement. Am I am, I am

597
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: I crazy, though, boys, because I watched this game and

598
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: I think two turnovers to none is a difference in

599
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: the game. I mean McCaffrey, I mean, she's the average

600
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: five point two yards to carry. McCaffrey had twenty carries

601
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: for a bucko. Wait, um, they give up three hundred

602
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: seven passing yards to Kyle Allen in the snow. Um,

603
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, two turnovers to none. That was a story

604
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: of the game. And they don't they don't punch it

605
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: in at the very end there. But um, I didn't

606
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: leave that game thing. And this is some great all

607
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: time you know, really good Aaron Rodgers defense that he's got. No,

608
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was either, but I thought it was.

609
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean they gave up a hundred

610
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: twenty rushing yards five point to a carry. It's not

611
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: like this is some great run defense. I mean they've

612
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: got they got the ball jam down their throats and

613
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: other losses. I'm just not willing to say, like, hey,

614
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: I feel great they limited Christian McAffrey to a hundred

615
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: eight yards five point four carry, Like would you feel

616
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: would you feel good about it if your defense did

617
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: that and was able to come up with the game

618
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: saving Well, not this. I mean they had still had

619
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: to make a two point conversion. But I mean they stop.

620
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: They stopped Kyle Allen after letting him drive the ball

621
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: all the way down the field and almost won the

622
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: football game. And you and at home in the snow,

623
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: you gotta stop at the end of the game. That's great.

624
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: But to me, I didn't come out of this thinking

625
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: like this Green Bay team. You know the whole narrative

626
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: that now they've got this, you know, the great defense,

627
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: and this is a whole new new deal here with

628
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I don't know. I didn't come away feeling

629
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: like that. I thought it's a good win. I get

630
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: tipped my cap. It's a good win. But this team

631
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: still has issues. Now, I think I think the team

632
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: has issues. But I think the way do you have

633
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: to judge them on defense is can they get stops?

634
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't think this will be one of those all

635
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: time great defenses, but can they get stops? Now, the

636
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: other way that you can look at it is can

637
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: they play on offense to force you to be one

638
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: dimensional where you can't stick to the running game. Can

639
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: they become a team that really wins the first quarter?

640
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Mainly they jump out behind Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones.

641
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: They get a quick fourteen on you, and you don't

642
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: have the patience and the discipline to stick with the

643
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: running game. That might be the way that the Packers

644
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: have to play going forward. But to bring it all

645
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: back Aaron Jones to me, look, Aaron Rodgers is clearly

646
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: the MLP. He's their most outstanding player. But their most

647
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: valuable player maybe Aaron Jones in terms of his value

648
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: as a dual threat, catching the ball out of the backfield,

649
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: running the ball, being able to score and have arrived

650
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: different ways. He gives them kind of another anchor to

651
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: their offense that they haven't had in previous years. No, look,

652
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's a it's gonna be interesting NFC man,

653
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: because when you look at the way the Saints showed

654
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: a little vulnerability there, We'll see what happens in the

655
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: big game here with the forty Niners. The Seahawks are there.

656
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, is it's set up to be a fun run. Man,

657
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: You're about to get us to another team that's gonna

658
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: have something to say in the NFC North here as well. No,

659
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: there we go the Vikings. The clean kirk equals a win,

660
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: third and goal at the long Cousins turns play action

661
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: throwing to the back corner of the end zone. It's

662
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: called Kyle Rudolph's second touchdown all the night. This is

663
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: on a much easier two handed grab in the back

664
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: left corner of the end zone. And it's thirteen nothing

665
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota with thirty two seconds to play. And quote a

666
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: number one Bucky. Remember the lines, shake what your mama

667
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: gave you. For the for the Vikings, it's it's take

668
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: what the defense gives you. Uh, you just gotta change

669
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: the words up. You can still sing the song. You

670
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: just gotta take. When Kirk cousins, well, I'm gonna leave

671
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: you alone there. But when he just takes what the

672
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: defense give they want, they want to give you easy completions.

673
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: Take him. Don't get too greedy. Protect the football. They

674
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: ran the football. They got Dalvin Cook involved in the

675
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: past game. I thought defensively, the Cowboys really made an

676
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: effort try and take aways to faon digs Um. They

677
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: drew a lot of traffic, which created a lot of

678
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: one on ones underneath with linebackers and Dalvin Cook. They

679
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: took advantage of it. But I said, a clean Kirk

680
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: equals and win um when he only gets sacked one time,

681
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: when he doesn't throw an interception, when he's just patient

682
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: they have. The rest of this team is built to

683
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: win man. That's the role he has to play, and

684
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: he played it very well in this ball game. Look,

685
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: he did a great job of complimenting a dominant running game.

686
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: And even though Dalvin Cook didn't go over hundred cars

687
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: and ninety seven yards. He only evers three point seven,

688
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: but it was enough to control the game. I think

689
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: the big thing when we talk about Kirk Cousins, he

690
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: was comfortable with taking the check down and dropping the

691
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: ball off to Cooks. When you look at Cook, he

692
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: had seven receptions eight six yards. This is the eighth

693
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: game where he's had over one hundred scrimmag jars. We

694
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: can talk about Kirk Cousins and he's always going to

695
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: get a lot of the attention as the big money quarterback,

696
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: but really this offense runs through Dalvin Cook, and when

697
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is having success, this offense is successful, particularly

698
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: when Kirk Cousins is very very patient. Guys, I just

699
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: like I have Kirk Cousins narrative fatigue, Like is this

700
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: it can we just be done with it now? And

701
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: we like, Look, he played well, the team played well

702
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: around him. They won the football game. He's a franchise

703
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, Like, let's just let's let's just

704
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: go evaluate the games. It's his first prop time win.

705
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: It's the formula. It's the formula. Though we talked about

706
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: that every week on here, right, we talked, well, you

707
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: gotta teams gotta find their formula, and I think the

708
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Vikings have settled into their formulare you know best? I

709
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: guess the phrase I would use selectively aggressive. You know,

710
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: no play don't play too passive like they were early

711
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: in the season. Um, when you get your shots, you

712
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: take your shots. But man, outside of that, just take

713
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: what they give you. Um, And that's the way he's playing.

714
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: And defensively, I thought that the job the Vikings did

715
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: on Ezekiel Elliott, um, it was outstanding. I thought they

716
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: handled the line of scrimmage. I thought they did a

717
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: good job of keeping those linebackers free. And um, they

718
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: shut him down and put the ball on Dax hands

719
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: and on the in Dax Credit played a great game. Uh,

720
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has done nothing but proved the fact that

721
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: he needs to get paid. They didn't win this football game.

722
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: He did more than his part. Yeah, no, Maori Cooper

723
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: as well. So I mean, this cowboy team. I know

724
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: this is a tough loss for them, but this team

725
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: is still very much in the mix here. Yeah, I

726
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: want to get us to the next one. There, but

727
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: the Brows get back on track second ago at the

728
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: seven yard line. So really, Chump didn't get anything on

729
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: that first down carry, and I'll come to bronze with

730
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: Higgins going out wide to the right, three in a

731
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: triangle to the left in the backfield, Nick Chubb on

732
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: the right hip up Mayfield from the Buffalo seven. On

733
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: second down, He's back, he settles, he settles, He's throwing

734
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: it Tots DoD It's for Shard Higgins. Welcome back, Shard Higgins.

735
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: Look man, DJ, you talked about everyone has to find

736
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: their their formula for success, and the Cleveland Browns need

737
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: to understand exactly who they are and how they have

738
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: to win. They win when they run the football. Baker

739
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,959
Speaker 1: Mayfield throws off play action and they don't worry about

740
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: forcing the ball to O b J. They just throw

741
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: it to the open receiver. When they do that, they

742
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: win games. We saw here Baker Mayfield two eight passing

743
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: yards on thirty eight attempts to touchdowns. Nick Chubb had

744
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: a hundred yard game. Jarvis Landry had nineties seven receiving

745
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: yards on nine catches, only ten yards of pop. But

746
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: what we're seeing the ball goes to the open man.

747
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: We saw Richard Higgins get the game winning touchdown when

748
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield basically just sticks to the script, allows the

749
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: offense to kind of come to him. They have success.

750
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: They have to make sure that they just get the

751
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: young quarterback to stay on schedule, just hit the opening guy.

752
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: When they do that, they win games. When I look

753
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: at that Nick Chubb, buck, I see a guy who

754
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: to me is is a top five running back in

755
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. Um, he's a young back, but

756
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: he's got power and he's got burst. I don't know

757
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: that I liked him coming out, George, but I don't

758
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: know that I saw this much juice. And you gotta

759
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,479
Speaker 1: remember all the injuries he had in college. Um. Having

760
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: healthy off seasons I think has helped him a little bit. Um,

761
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: But he got a little he got little giddy up man,

762
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: a little burst there. And I think this offense, like

763
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: you said, is that at their best. Um when the

764
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: offense runs through that run game in Nick Chubb and

765
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: sets everything else up. Um. To me, I think he's there.

766
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: He's their best offensive player with all the star power

767
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: and all the stuff you can put up in lights.

768
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: To me, Nick Chubb is the best player on this offense.

769
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: I think we have to make sure we mentioned that

770
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt played his first game back and he was

771
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: a contributor. He has seven he look, he has seven receptions,

772
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: and like it's going to be interested in how they

773
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 1: continue to evolve this offense with these two running backs,

774
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: because DJ I do believe that if the Cleveland Browns

775
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: really want to stick to their recipe, they need to

776
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: dig back and in somewhere in the building see if

777
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: they can dust off that old playbook that the Cleveland

778
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,959
Speaker 1: Browns used to have with Ernest Ernest Byner and Kevin

779
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: Mack when they had the two running backs playing at

780
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: the same time. I used to love playing with those

781
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: guys on tech Mo because I believe Kareem Hunt and

782
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb are going to give them a dynamic backfield.

783
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: And if you think about running this offense inside out,

784
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: meaning running backs to the outside playmakers, they could really

785
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: give people problems if they stick to Chubb and Hunt

786
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: and then let the other people eat off of their leftovers.

787
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: Can I give you just one thing here on the

788
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: on the a f C North because I love I

789
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, haven't worked in that division and when it

790
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: was you know, when I when I was there, we

791
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: had Baltimore with rolling Pittsburgh was rolling, Cincinnati was under

792
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer was really good. Um Cleveland was you know,

793
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: kind of up and down. But we talked about the game,

794
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, go in cycles and it comes back to

795
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: being a ground and pound of physical fair buck, let's

796
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: indulge me with this real quick. You've got Lamar Jackson

797
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: and the way they run the rock on a historic pace.

798
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: There with the Baltimore Ravens you just mentioned, and we've

799
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: talked about Chub and Cream Hunt. That's that could be

800
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: a pound you punch you in the face offense with

801
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: these guys. Then you look at Pittsburgh with that offensive

802
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: line that you know, the backs that they have, that's

803
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: how they want to play a very physical, physical affair.

804
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: And so the only team we're not talking about is

805
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Can I just this is totally off

806
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: script here, but I just got thinking about this. They're

807
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: gonna move on from Andy Dalton. Ryan Finley has only

808
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: got one week, but you know, look, it looks like

809
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: they could be trying to find their quarterback next year.

810
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: What if you get your offensive lineback healthy, led by

811
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: your first round pick Jonah Williams, who missed a whole year.

812
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: This year, you've got Joe Mixon. Um, let's you get

813
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: Corty Glenn back. Let's say with that you know their

814
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: their number one overall pick. We all assume they're going quarterback.

815
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: What if they make a trade not for that first

816
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: overall pick, but with other picks, and they make the

817
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: trade for Cam Newton, and then you use that first

818
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: overall pick. Maybe you trade down a little bit, continue

819
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: to fortify that offensive line. Um, you get a bounty

820
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: of picks, or they could just take Chase Young on

821
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Um to give you.

822
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: But then we could have you want to talk about

823
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a smash mouth a f

824
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: C North, Now, that would be fun It's funny that

825
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned that about Cam Newton. I didn't necessarily put

826
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in Cincinnati, but I did think about Chase

827
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: Young and thinking about what you could do with Chase

828
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: Young and really building up that team and making sure

829
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: it's defensive oriented. Now. I know they went out and

830
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: got Zack Taylor because of his offensive acumen, but as

831
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned, this division is becoming an old school smash

832
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: mouth division, and the only way that you can get

833
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: to the playoffs is you have to be able to

834
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: win your division, and so I think Cincinnati really has

835
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: to do a long, hard look on how they want

836
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: to build their team because playing for next ball is

837
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: not going to work in the f C North. All

838
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: of these teams are kind of taken and adopting a

839
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: bully mentality, and if you don't have that, you can

840
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: have a tough I'm winning because we talked about the

841
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: running games in Baltimore and Cleveland, and then the defense

842
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: is in Pittsburgh. If you're not built the right way,

843
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to sustain yourself. Yeah, no,

844
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that on the North and

845
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: real quick before I get us to the ninth takeaway here,

846
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: I just saw this pop through the old news alert

847
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: and it may not matter, but Bill Callahan has said

848
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: that Dwayne Haskins will be the starting quarterbacks for the

849
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: Redskins for the rest of the season. As we kind

850
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: of expected that might be. Okay, I'll move us back

851
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: here because I'm probably gonna spend more time on a

852
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: on a game between two teams that have a combined

853
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: ten losses right now that probably then probably needs to

854
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: be spent, but I'll do it. Anyway, the Bears stop

855
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: the bleeding. He's in the slot left with Cordell Patterson

856
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: Gabriel to the numbers left, stand up tenant, trade Burke

857
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: first and going nine yard lines. Risk had sent up

858
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: and pulling in the backfield. Tramisky on the take flips

859
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: it onto the left flat with a lot of them.

860
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: The run of the fifth tent of the tan of

861
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: the five touchdown touchdown toe it touchdown Bears nine yards

862
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: on a swing and the Bears lead at thirteen six. Okay,

863
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: there's some qualifiers here. First, let's start with the Lions. Okay,

864
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford was out of this game, and let's give

865
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: some credit to a guy who went a hundred and

866
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: thirty six consecutive games without missing the start more than

867
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: three thousand, two hundred days for a guy that many

868
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: erroneously labeled as injury injury prone in his first two years. Uh,

869
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: that dude is a tough football player. Unfortunately was forced

870
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: to the sidelines in this one. He was an iron man,

871
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: second only to Philip Rivers, was now well over two

872
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: hundred consecutive starts. But um, hat tip to Matthew Stafford.

873
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: I hope he gets back sooner rather than later. The

874
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: Lions were limited, uh to basically j D. Mckissic at

875
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: running back in this game after Ty Johnson went down

876
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: early with an injury, so they're on a backup quarterback

877
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: in Jeff Driscoll, even though he performed pretty admirably against

878
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: the tough Chicago Bears defense in relief of Stafford. But

879
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: he had to throw it over forty times in this game,

880
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: which is it is not with the Lions hoping to

881
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: do but because they got down a little bit and

882
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: then they also were down on the running backs, that's

883
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: something that they had to do and that's unfortunate. But

884
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: a brief awakening of the Chicago Bears offense won this

885
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: game and stopped the bleeding of a four game losing streak.

886
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: And I'll take you through it right now. For the

887
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: first twenty five minutes of this football game, the Bears

888
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: accumulated twenty one total yards on fifteen plays. They were

889
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: booed off the field in the first three minutes of

890
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: the game with their first three and out on their

891
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: first offensive possession. Same old story, right, same old thing

892
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: that we've seen this season from Mitchell Drabinsky in the

893
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: Bears offense. But then it started. At the four forty

894
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: mark of the second quarter, four forty to go in

895
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: the first half, Drabinsky completes five short passes on a

896
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: drive in which he attempted eight to get a couple

897
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: of runs, and he throws a really good, uh beautifully

898
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: placed ball in the end zone to Ben Bronnicer to

899
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: end the half. They get a little momentum right at

900
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, come out second half,

901
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: they score, They drive down another big touchdown drive they

902
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: were aided by long penalty. Still they've now scored on

903
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: consecutive possessions. Then the Bears defense feeding off a little

904
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: life from their offense or maybe what feels like the

905
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: first time all season, and they picked Jep driscal off.

906
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Give the Bears offensive short field and Michal Trobisky takes advantage.

907
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: They scored a touchdown on three consecutive offensive possessions in

908
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 1: this game, spanning the first in the second half. Okay,

909
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna get just give you this here. So

910
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: from the four forty mark of the first half to

911
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: the nine forty point so like just over five minutes

912
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: into the second half, they scored twenty points on three

913
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: touchdowns eight minutes in ten seconds of game time. They

914
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: felt like the Bears that went twelve and four last year,

915
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: the twelve and four Bears now in the other forty

916
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: in the other fifty one minutes, in fifty seconds, they

917
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: accumulated forty five total yards hundred and eighty one total

918
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: yards in eight minutes of game time. For the other

919
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: fifty one minutes, forty five yards. So point being, they

920
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: stopped the bleeding. But what happens next week when you

921
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: take the band aid off? Does it just continue to gush?

922
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: Or have they figured something out? That's what we have

923
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: to figure out with the Bears. You know the thing

924
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: with the Bears. Everyone, I got one for you, Buck,

925
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: I got one for you Buck, real quick. I want

926
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: to I want to just drop this on your real quick. Um.

927
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: Remember last year when we everybody would tell the stat

928
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: about how Khalil Mack' sack total compared to the Oakland

929
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: Raiders team in their sack total, um, I would just

930
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: like to point out that at this point in time,

931
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: Benson Mayowa seven sacks for the Raiders, Khalil mac five

932
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: and a half for the Bears. Kalil Mack has one

933
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: sack in his last five games, and so I I do.

934
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting. Look, Kalil mack is a

935
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: great player, but I do think it's interesting that why

936
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: everybody was piling on that so early on. I see

937
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: very few people revisiting this thing at this point in

938
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: time and pointing that that kind of a stat out. No.

939
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: I look, I think it's one of those things that

940
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: we have to talk about, and that's why we have

941
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: to be careful about making these decisions and a vacuum,

942
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: particularly when he talks about trades. The Chicago Bears look

943
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: like they want to trade. Initially, when they got Khalil

944
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 1: Mackie gave them a surge, but now we have seen

945
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: that he has not been able to necessarily deliver that

946
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: high impact production. Is not necessarily all on him. Sometimes

947
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: it's the teammates. Sometimes there defense not being positioned in

948
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: a way where they can kind of play downhill because

949
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: they're protecting the lead. But the Open Raiders were able

950
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that. They have all these picks.

951
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: They're beginning to play well, and you see a team

952
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: that is emerging as a viable playoff contender in the

953
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: FC West. So maybe we did kind of jump the

954
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: gun a little bit when we rushed to judgment when

955
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: we were evaluating their trade. No, no, it's just interesting

956
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: to look back on and we'll see, you know, goodwin

957
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: for the Bears. See if they can keep a little

958
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: momentum going here, last one, uh, last takeaway of the week.

959
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: Murray to Kirk. The futures here second and twelve, but

960
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: the fifth team was seven and a half to go

961
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: on the fourth Cardinals down three five wide receivers. Murray

962
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: and Shotgun takes the snap, drops back, throws over the middle.

963
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: Kirk caught a touch down, a third touchdown today for

964
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, and the Cardinals are back in front with

965
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: seven two to play. Look, I know they lost this

966
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: football game. This is a perfect outcome if you're a

967
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: fan of the Cardinals, because what you want to see

968
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: this team is not going to the postseason this year.

969
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: So let's get as higher pick as we can. But

970
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: give us some excitement and give us a vision into

971
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: the future and what it looks like. And to me,

972
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: it's two guys that we're teammates at Texas A and

973
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: M at one point in time. But Christian Kirk three

974
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in this game, really you saw the speed that

975
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: showed up in a big way, and then I thought

976
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was money. I thought he was outstanding in

977
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: this football game. The way he was able to push

978
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. He made a handful of

979
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: ridiculous throws um. He was selective when he wanted to run,

980
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: but was able to get some chunks there at times

981
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: as well. To me, if I'm a Cardinals fan, give

982
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: me more of this, give me, give me this connection,

983
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: give me points, give me excitement, and let's lose the

984
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: football games, baby, because we're not going anywhere this year.

985
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: Give me a high pick so I can continue to

986
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: build around my young quarterback. But I I I think

987
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: not only is uh is Murray playing well? You know

988
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: I I it's a big word. Kyler Murray is gonna

989
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: be He is going to be a superstar in this league.

990
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: When when you watch the way he's throwing the football,

991
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: and it's only this is gonna be the worst team

992
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: he plays on um for a long time, that team

993
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: is only going to get better around him. He's he's

994
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: special man. Look, he is a special player. He's a

995
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: special playmaker, and we we are seeing how it plays out.

996
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk being a dynamic receiver in the connection that

997
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: these guys have, and then Cliff Kingsbury becoming more and

998
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: more comfortable calling games in the National Football League. They

999
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: are not ready to pop yet, but you can already

1000
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: see that there's a solid foundation being put in place

1001
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: for this offense in Arizona. And if they continue to

1002
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: get pieces another big time receiver, maybe a dominant tied

1003
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: end over the middle of field, you can see where

1004
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: this offense is going to score a lot of points.

1005
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: And if they can get the defense just to compliment them,

1006
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: slow the game down a little bit, it's gonna be

1007
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Uh. I kind of like what is

1008
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: kind of bubbling up in Arizona. A quick note here

1009
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: on the Tampa Bay Bucks, who won this game. By

1010
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: the way, um, congratulations to Bruce arians and and Jamis Winston,

1011
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: in particularly Jamal Dean, who DJ you might remember I

1012
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: criticized on the aftermath he gave up three touchdowns against

1013
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: Seattle a week ago. Was I mean it looked it

1014
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: looked bad. I think he'd probably be the first to

1015
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: tell you that. In fact, I'm reading the story here

1016
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: by Rick Stroude at the Tampa Bay Times, who said

1017
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: that all week. This week, he arrived at Todd Bowls'

1018
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: offense office, the defensive coordinator for the Bucks, by seven am,

1019
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: full hour before meeting started. Had him talked me through things,

1020
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: teach me the game of football, and uh, he played

1021
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: better in this game. And in that last scenario he

1022
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: had the interception that led to the Bucks game winning drive. Okay, uh,

1023
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: he was not supposed to be on the field in

1024
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: that situation. Vernon Hargraves was benched by Bruce Arians for

1025
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: not giving full effort. They put Jamal Dean in. They

1026
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: put Jamal Dean in, and he comes in and makes

1027
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: the game, say even play and really the game turning

1028
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: play for the Bucks to intercept the ball deep in

1029
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: in you know, their own territory and then turn it

1030
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: back over to the offense who goes down there and

1031
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: makes it happen. So credit to Jamal Deine for bouncing

1032
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: back and in a game that can be brutal when

1033
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: you know the lights are brightest and when you don't perform. Um,

1034
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: congratulations to a young kid who who kind of turned

1035
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: it around. How about that? Yeah, and look the that's

1036
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: out saying. The other thing I would add is Ronald

1037
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: Jones who could not catch a cold at the literally

1038
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: one I've ever seen it a pro day had game,

1039
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: So nice day, nice nice game for him. And um,

1040
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: this Tampa Bay team is Look, they can score points

1041
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: now that that's not a problem. They can run up

1042
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, and Shack beartt continues to get after the quarterback.

1043
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: Those are the things you've been able to rely on. Um,

1044
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: they just need to get continue to grow and get

1045
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: some better pieces on that roster. But fun to watch,

1046
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: fun game. You know, when I checked in on that game,
