1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ and

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Rhett with you. Bucky is traveling back from London. Long

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: long couple weeks there for Buck, going back and forth

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: with the Jags being over there in London. But rhtt,

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: it's great to see your face. And I can't help

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: but notice, as an Indiana Hoosier you're still smiling.

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: It's hard not to be. Buddy Hoo's yours are a

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: wagon rocket and rolling coach. Signetti's rot got him going,

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: I mean, just absolutely dominated Nebraska in Bloomington this week.

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: Game Day's coming to Bloomington this week. My Big ten

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: network crew is going to be on the call for

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: the game. A lot of fun, a lot of fun

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: with this one and enjoying it, enjoying it probably a

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: lot more than Bucky has been enjoying his back and

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: forth to and from London. But like his trips, the

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: NFL's London trips are over as well, and now we'll

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: push forward to Munich here in a couple of weeks.

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: And then we had some good ones back stateside here

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: this week as well.

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're gonna We're gona jump into those games.

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: We'll get to that Jags game. Drake May showing some

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: good things there in Jacksonville, getting much needed to win.

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: But let's start with these big three games here, starting

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: with Detroit in Minnesota. Man, what a what a great game.

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: I got to see a lot of this. This is

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the beauty of having a Monday night Charger game. I'm

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: here in Arizona, but got a chance to watch just

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: watch Sunday games, which was fantastic, and that was arguably

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the game of the day. And I'll give you the

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: floor on this one first rat before I get to

32
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: what I want to talk about, because I know you

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: were struck by just how dang similar these two teams were.

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's uncanny when you look at it,

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: like in so many different categories, right, I mean, like

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: total amount of plays run, we're within four of each other.

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: First downs, we're within two of each other.

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: I mean, like the.

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 2: Average yards per play they were gaining. They were making

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: similar gains like on every play on average for the

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: most part. I mean, they threw and ran the ball

42
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: with similar balance as well. The explosive plays were even

43
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: very similar. So I felt like in a game like this, DJ,

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: you really had to like kind of go into the

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: margins a little bit, right and try to find, you know,

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: some of those hidden yards, some of those hidden things

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: that can you know, allow somebody to gain extra yards.

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: And Jamier Gibbs, who you're seeing on your screen right here,

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: was a big piece of those hidden yards. Because I mean, obviously,

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: you know, like his speed, his explosiveness, he's always capable,

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, to break one, but he makes guys miss

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: so often. In fact, made eight guys miss in this game.

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: You want to talk about turning a six yard game

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: into sixteen. The play he made on the forty five

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run on the safety, my goodness, at full

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: speed right DJ, and did not lose speed at all

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: coming in and out of that break and that juke

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: that he made. He led all runners with the football

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: enforced miss tackles this week according to PFF, with eight.

60
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: So, I mean, he's such a big piece of that offense.

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: And when you have that kind of fire and ice

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: right with you know, David Montgomery providing that physical element

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: and then Gibbs just able to juke you out of

64
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: your socks and go the distance at any point. They

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: have so many answers to beat you on offense. It's

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: fun to watch and.

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: No question and you know, look it was. It was

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: interesting to see what they were going to do with

69
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Aiden Hudginson not being there. Looked like they tried to

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: they try to send more bodies and use kind of

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: a win by numbers approach. I thought Minnesota for the

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: most part, did a good job of holding up protection wise,

73
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: made some big plays. I know there's a couple of

74
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: throws that Sam would like to have back more than

75
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: anything else. On the Viking side of things, they've got

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of these pre snap penalties. Man just

77
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: shooting themselves in the foot with just misalignments more than

78
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: anything else. That's that's easily correctable. They are going to

79
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: have times where as aggressive as they are defensively, when

80
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: other teams have a quarterback receiver combination that are in

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: sync and in rhythm. I saw it against this defense

82
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: last year with Herbert and Keenan Allen whe Keenan caught

83
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: a bazillion balls and it was aman Ross Saint Brown

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: with Jared goffin this one. When they can pick you

85
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: up when you send that those zero looks you've got

86
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: one guy that can win. It's got to be something

87
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: that you're on the same page as the quarterback. And

88
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: that's what they had there with Detroit. And I know

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the main talking point coming out

90
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: of this game. Jared Goff is you know he should

91
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: be at the fore front of the MVP discussion. I

92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: don't know that there's a quarterback who looks like he's

93
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: more calm and poised and just I would say just

94
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: locked in. I mean, he is in a comfort zone

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: in this offense, even more so than when he was

96
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: at his zenith with McVeigh and the Rams zenith.

97
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: I love it. Great pull on that one.

98
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, look, the guy goes, you know, perfect

99
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: in the first half, right, twelve to twelve, ends up

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: with that what was it eighty eight completion percentage? By

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: the way, on the flip side, Sam Darnold eighty one percentage?

102
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: Really good in this game. They were both I.

103
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 2: Mean outside of the turnover for Sam, I mean really

104
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: really good stuff. There two more things on that front.

105
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: On defense, you mentioned how are they going to replace

106
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson. We talked about that a little bit you

107
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: and I last week, Right and some of the guys

108
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: that you know, kind of filled in in that last

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: game that Hutchinson got hurt, and I thought it was

110
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: those guys that.

111
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: Kind of showed up in a big way. Josh Pascal

112
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: had a sack in this game.

113
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: And then the guy who literally ended the game was

114
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: one of the guys who received more reps out on

115
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: the edge when hutch got hurt. It was Trevor Lawawski, right,

116
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: the guy who kind of listed as a linebacker. They

117
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: push him out to the edge and he has that

118
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: last sack on Sam Darnold. So you know, maybe it's

119
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: not sustainable to kind of go by committee and try

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: to get that kind of production, you know, all year long.

121
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Right now, Dan Campbell's got that group rolling.

122
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Both these teams though five and one, looking forward

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: to seeing they're going to see each other in the postseason. Man,

124
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: this is these are two of the better teams in

125
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: the NFC. I think that was that was playing to

126
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: see there. Let's get to the next game here, another

127
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: one with two teams that are going to be playoff teams,

128
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: and that's Houston Green Bay. All start us off here

129
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: on the green Bay side of things. Defensively, what they

130
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: did to c J. Stroud. I mean, there was just

131
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: it was suffocating what they did. And it was not

132
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: only with the back end, but I watched all their pressures,

133
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: watch what they were doing up front. Got a lot

134
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: of athletes up there. Rareshan Gary can win right now.

135
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: I was excited to see how they're using Edgeran Cooper,

136
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: who can play some on the edge, can play off

137
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the ball. He's another one who's got legit like low

138
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: four to five speed. They can win with penetration inside.

139
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: They time up blitz as well. They were excellent in

140
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: this game up front against a Houston offense that they

141
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: couldn't get rolling. Man, they just had nothing going in

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: the past game. And is you know, I know you

143
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: peaked at the coverage a little bit there, Rett, but

144
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: I was impressed what I saw with their defensive front,

145
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: just how athletic they were.

146
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: I think it goes hand in hand, right, We talk

147
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: about that all the time, that connection, and I think

148
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: that coverage certainly benefited from having CJ.

149
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: Stroud under duress.

150
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: A bunch felt like they kind of took advantage of

151
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: Juice Scrugs at center and Kenyon Green at left guard.

152
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: You know, quite a bit there to kind of crumble

153
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: that pocket on CJ. A number of times here where

154
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: like you know, I'm sure he had he had seen

155
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: something he liked. And there are a couple of plays

156
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: and I really looked at Tank Dell. It didn't have

157
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: a catching this game to see what was going on

158
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: there were Tank kind.

159
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: Of got open.

160
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: But even before CJ could could start to think about

161
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: pulling the trigger, that way, he was getting flushed out

162
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: of the pocket or he was getting pressure, and so

163
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: that just made things so much more difficult. I mean,

164
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: how many times this is probably the only time in CJ.

165
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: Stroud's career that he did not have a single receiver

166
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: over thirty yards receiving in a game. That's what happens

167
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: when you throw for less than one hundred, I suppose.

168
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, so as far as Tank Dell went, you know,

169
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: it didn't allow you know, his first target should have

170
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: been a touchdown catch. Actually dropped one on a scramble drill.

171
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: It was a hard one, but one that we've seen

172
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: him make. And I thought that Jeff Haffley, you know,

173
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: has done a really good job there as the defensive

174
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: coordinator in Green Bay. You talk about the pressure that

175
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: he kind of game planet schemes and generated I thought

176
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: on the back end, they mixed things up a ton.

177
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: I mean they were kind of half and half with

178
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: single high and two deep safety looks, and a lot

179
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: of times on those on those two deep safety looks

180
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: that one safety would would just kind of immediately you know,

181
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: drop you know, another ten yards just to kind of

182
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: keep a lid on, you know, Tank and Stefan Diggs

183
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: from kind of getting behind everybody and you know, limiting

184
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: those explosive plays up. He did a really good job

185
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: on that front. So that was that was a defensive

186
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: clinic right there on one of the best offensive teams

187
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: in football.

188
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, uh, you know, look offensively Green Bay. You know,

189
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Love has been he's he's kind of been running

190
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: up numbers on both sides of the scoreboard. Man, he's

191
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: been making big plays. He's collecting touchdowns. You see it

192
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: on the screen there two plus pass tds eleven consecutive games,

193
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: which is the longest active streak including the playoffs. So

194
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: he's been running up you know, big plays points. But man,

195
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: he's got to do a better job protecting the football

196
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: as you start getting to these big games and get

197
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: into the postseason. He's got to be a little more

198
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: cautious there. Really the only the only negative on the

199
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: on the Green Bay side of things. Anything you want

200
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: to add there before we jump over to the next game.

201
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm glad you brought that up.

202
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Is just the interception numbers way too high for a

203
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: guy that has missed two games already this year.

204
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: So if they limit that, I mean, my goodness.

205
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: I mean he's already you know, he's already breaking Aaron

206
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: Rodgers records for touchdowns consecutively in games going back to

207
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: last year. So I'm pretty dang impressive so far. If

208
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: they can keep limiting those turnovers.

209
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to Casey San Francisco, maybe the

210
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: most anticipated games because of the Super Bowl connection there.

211
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: This is my takeaway and then I'll get your thoughts

212
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: and we'll go from there. But when we've talked about

213
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: defensive dominant teams that have an offense that gives you

214
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: just enough, I think back over like the last decade.

215
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: I think of the Baltimore Ravens. That'd be how they've

216
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: been described. I think of the Pittsburgh Steelers that's been

217
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: used to describe them. I think the Tennessee Titans when

218
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: they're you know, their playoff runs that they've had, dominant defense,

219
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, can run the ball a little bit, just

220
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: timely plays offensively. Is it time that we just start

221
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: calling the Chiefs what they are? This is a defensive

222
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: football team that's carrying them. I mean, that's dominating on

223
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball with an offense that's

224
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: just kind of gives you enough and a quarterback who

225
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: is still at those key clutch moments can make you know,

226
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: those two three plays you got to make, which Mahomes

227
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: does it? Just is this, this is the formula of

228
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: those defensive dominant teams like this is who the Chiefs

229
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: are at this point in time.

230
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: And hold on before before I dig into to what

231
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: I was looking at here, I mean, what does you

232
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: think of those two runs from Mahomes, like the touchdown run, Right,

233
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: I've seen it, I've.

234
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: Seen I've seen this. I've seen this in games against

235
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers in the past. It's it's here's the thing,

236
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: because my first thought is, well, somebody's gonna drill him

237
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: on the sideline because he's done this several times now

238
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: where he kind of you know, he's kind of faking

239
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: like he's going to go out of balance, and defenders

240
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: know they're not. They're not even worried about the penalty, right,

241
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: They're worried about the dang fine it's going to be

242
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: coming out, you know for that, And so you get

243
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: mad and say, okay, well, eventually he's going to get

244
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: his block knocked off. And then I'm like, I don't

245
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm a defensive player, if I'm

246
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna get fifteen yards and I'm going to get an

247
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: envelope in my locker, I don't know. I don't like it.

248
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: I think it's it's kind of poor form. But that's

249
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 1: where the rules are, and he's definitely taken advantage of

250
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: it with those type rope moves.

251
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: You want a little you want a little saucy nug

252
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: on Mahome.

253
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, give me. What do we've got here?

254
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: And I've got this one here for you.

255
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: And this comes courtesy of our buddy Tony in research

256
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: last night when I was on game day final, Flip

257
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: this one to me. Patrick Mahomes had the lowest passer

258
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: rating of his career in Week seven, forty four point four,

259
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs beat the defending NFC champions by double

260
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: digits on the road. Yeah, if that doesn't say something

261
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: about the defense you're talking about, I don't know what does.

262
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: Right there.

263
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: Just incredible and like it does kind of bring back

264
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: some visions of eight Manning in twenty fifteen, right, I

265
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 2: mean not that not that Mahomes is super limited, like

266
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: like man he.

267
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Was still off, wasn't at that time.

268
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're talking about defense carrying you at this point,

269
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: you know, to some of these incredible wins.

270
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: It's it's, uh, it does kind of feel a little

271
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: bit like that.

272
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: But I did also look at Perty's interceptions. I know

273
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: you did as well. We could probably collaborate on this

274
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: here a little bit. I thought that first one he

275
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: was getting a little bit of pressure, but he didn't

276
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: see that saying that deep safety man, that deep safety

277
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: saw him from the jump.

278
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: I mean it was that great.

279
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was justin Reid had that thing rolling like

280
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: he was watching Perty's eyes from from the get go.

281
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: Obviously you want that one back. Number two. This one

282
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: was kind of interesting. You watch this one.

283
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: This so Ronnie Bell right here. I couldn't figure out

284
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: whether he thought Ronnie was going deeper or not because

285
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: that was way overthrown, right, I mean I was like

286
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: five yards overthrown.

287
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: And you know, when you kind of look.

288
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: At it, Bell is kind is running kind of like

289
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: an angle out route right, and he gets contact, but

290
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: then pushes up even further through the contact, knowing he's

291
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: got to get a little bit deeper go past the

292
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: sticks to get the first down, and it's still overthrown

293
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: by five yards.

294
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was just bad throw or what.

295
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: And then obviously the third one you just got to

296
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: you got to eat it and take the points down

297
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: by the goal line.

298
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: You can't give it up. Done.

299
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, got hit the other number. I looked up

300
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: with this stat or this stat from this game in

301
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: this season. I was curious because it just looks like

302
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco's in the gun with a lot more pure

303
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: drop back than just play action. If you just look

304
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: at the play action numbers, it is about three percent

305
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: down from what it was last year. So I think

306
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: last year maybe they were twenty three percent, I believe

307
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: somewhere around there in play action. This year it's about

308
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: twenty percent of play action. So it's different. It's definitely less.

309
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't as demonstrative as maybe I thought it would

310
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: have been. But it just looks different when you watch them,

311
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, versus the nightmare of them being under center

312
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: and having to deal with everything off that that with

313
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: that offense with Boots and Crossers and really what Kyle

314
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: Shanahan's done for forever, it's a different it's a different

315
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: formula he's using.

316
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, it's a different situation now, clearly, And

317
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: it just feels like when there's no debo, which there

318
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: really wasn't in this game as he had the illness,

319
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: and then braindon I goes down with what they fear

320
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: as an ACL so likely ending his season if that

321
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: you know that that ends up being confirmed, and then

322
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: with McCaffrey out, it's just like it's hard to kind

323
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: of find that magic when you have three elite players

324
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: out of the ballgame at the skill positions, Like can

325
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: you say, is it truly just plug and play at

326
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: that point or are you trying to facilitate different ways

327
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: to attack like you're talking about their DJ just can't

328
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: do it the way you've been accustomed to when you

329
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: have those type of players out, especially with McCaffrey out

330
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: for as long as he's been out.

331
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: They're like the anti Lions.

332
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: I said this on Game Day Final last night, where

333
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: the Lions could beat you anyway they want at this point,

334
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: like the forty nine ers are just running out of answers.

335
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's true. It doesn't. It's just literally

336
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: it's just a shell of what they've been in terms

337
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: of all the guys they have out there. So I

338
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: guess it's probably on us to lower expectations. But you

339
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: do look at the schedule. Man, They've got some work

340
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: to do. They are three and four, and they're gonna

341
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: have to fight, you know, not to win the division

342
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: or to be a number one seed. They're gonna have

343
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: to fight to get into the tournament with the way

344
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: this thing's shaken up right now. So I managed to

345
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: see what happens there in San Francisco. Let's sneak another

346
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: game in here before we take a little break. Philly

347
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: and the Giants. This was a let me give you

348
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: a little bonus saucy nug here because this one caught

349
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: my saucy nug. Yeah, we're gonna go double a little.

350
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: We'll double up here on the saucy nug. Saquon Barkley

351
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty one scrimmage yards this season, the

352
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: most by a player in his first six games with

353
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: a team since drum roll. Saquon Barkley's first six games

354
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: with the Giants is a rookie in twenty eighteen, we

355
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: had eight hundred and eleven scrimmage yards. Long story short,

356
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley's very good. He has been an excellent signing

357
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: there for the Philadelphia Eagles, and man, it's it's it's

358
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: hard to look at it from the giant side of

359
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: things and say how this benefited them deciding to turn

360
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: the page. And really, when you look at the money,

361
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't crazy money that.

362
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: He got from the Philadelphia Eagles, No, I mean it

363
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: ended up being you know what was it like essentially

364
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: a million or two average annual value to what they

365
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: were talking about. I know that's not the whole way

366
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: to cut the you know, the pie up on that,

367
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean, it's it's tough, and in a

368
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: game like this, it was even harder. I mean watching

369
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: him go for one hundred and seventy six yards on

370
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: an eighty seven total yards. So another bonus, Saucy nug

371
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: Care for you. I mean, Saquan now in the last

372
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: ten years has the most rushing yards against the Giants

373
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: and the most rushing yards for the Giants over a time.

374
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: Nice.

375
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just I can't imagine the feeling you

376
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: know that John Mahra had just sitting there watching Barkley

377
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: run up and down. Know, Look, they got more problems

378
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: than that the Giants do right on offense there.

379
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of what's going on

380
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: over there, you know.

381
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: I mean, like Andrew Thomas going down for the season

382
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: is about you know, the strate that's.

383
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: A tough one. That's a tough one. With the zudat

384
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: left tackle right now, it's.

385
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: Tough, h and and I mean that's that's kind of

386
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: been an unfortunate piece of Andrew Thomas's career arc right.

387
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: I mean, he he was he struggled early in his

388
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: career and then you know, kind of quickly established himself

389
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: as one of the better tackles in football. And now

390
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: he's got these injuries that you're dealing with, and Daniel

391
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 2: Jones gets pulled from the game, Drew Locke comes in.

392
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: Where do you go from here? What do you do now?

393
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: Malik neighbors minimal impact in the game, Beach, I don't, man,

394
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: it's getting late early there in New York.

395
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only other thing that I will add is

396
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: that if you've looked at the Philadelphia Eagles over the

397
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: last several years, they're at their best when they are

398
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: led by their pass rush and a little bit of

399
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: a slow start at the sacks in this game five

400
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: sacks last week. They found their footing a little it

401
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: here along that front and seeing a lot of different

402
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: guys win. You Jalen Carter inside that's getting two sacks,

403
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: Na Kobe Dean, I'm gonna dust off that scouting report

404
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: here later in the Yeah, we can dig into him.

405
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: He had two sacks. So we're seeing those those Georgia

406
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: Bulldogs there with the Eagles starting to play good football.

407
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: And also Nolan Smith get won for the second week

408
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: in a row off the edge, who's been very disruptive.

409
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: He's he's coming into his own a little bit there too.

410
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: So that's when the Eagles are who they are. And

411
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: I think in the back end too, you've got those

412
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: two rookies Cooper Dejean's playing well, Quinya and Mitchell's playing well.

413
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: So they're starting to see after kind of a frustrating

414
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: start to the year. You look up there four and two,

415
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an interesting race there in that division.

416
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: Washington playing the way they're playing, Uh, you know, the

417
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys being the mystery team that they are, it's gonna

418
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: be too interesting ride there. Anything else you want to

419
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: add before we take a quick little pause.

420
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: No, I think that that about does it on that one.

421
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: But I do say I do feel like, you know,

422
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: when the Eagles are struggling earlier in the year, I

423
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: mean you point to aj Brown being gone for about

424
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: a month's worth of time, and now he's had back

425
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: to back games with a forty plus yard touchdown reception.

426
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: That element, with Saquon Barkley's presence in the ground game

427
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: like that feels like the Eagles are back right again,

428
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 2: or at least trending in the right direction.

429
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: And the Pittsburgh Steelers had an enjoyable cruise. I would

430
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: say it was a party cruise last night. After they

431
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: took care of the New York Jets. All the talk,

432
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: all of the conversation is Davante Adams and he's going

433
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: to fix everything that's wrong with the New York Jets.

434
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: They score fifteen points. That does not happen. We'll get

435
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: to the Jet side of things here in a minute,

436
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: but let's start first of all, Russell Wilson. That was

437
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: not a popular decision, maybe nationally, maybe even locally as well.

438
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: I'll get into my thoughts on it and a second here, Rett,

439
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: but just your thoughts on the on the decision that

440
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: was made to go to Russell Wilson and what we

441
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: saw on his first crack ad with the Steelers.

442
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: I was watching that one with Maurice Jones Drew as

443
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: we were getting ready for Game Day Final on NFL Network,

444
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: and you know, it wasn't like the prettiest the games

445
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: in the first half for the Steelers offense, Like there

446
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: were some throws who you're like, is.

447
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 3: That that much better than justin fields?

448
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: But then, boy, I felt like in the second half

449
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: they really found a rhythm there, and I think it

450
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: started when Russ started giving George Pickens a shot to

451
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: go make plays down the field up in the air.

452
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: I mean this one was.

453
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: Pretty fortuitous here, it's off the defenders arm and he

454
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: ends up going to grab it, makes plays for him.

455
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: But I mean, like getting pickings engaged like that is

456
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: one of the reasons you turned to Russell Wilson. They

457
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: were talking about that in the broadcast too. We looked

458
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: at that throw and catch by Pat Fryer Muth down there.

459
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: I mean, guys were making big plays again for the Steelers,

460
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: some in the past game that we just like you

461
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: hadn't seen. And then you know what they did. I

462
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: felt like it was critical into the third quarter, into

463
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, or you get the touchdown to Van

464
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: Jefferson and then you get Russell sneaking it in as well,

465
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: So one through.

466
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: The air, one on the ground.

467
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: They built a two score lead in the second half

468
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: as they went into the fourth quarter, and then.

469
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: We're able to just play Pittsburgh football, which was.

470
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: Handed off to Najie Harris, who looked invigorated in this.

471
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: Game by the block and kicks.

472
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: How awesome was that scene with their special teams coordinator

473
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: down there as well, And then Jalen Warren two had

474
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: a couple of big runs like that's how that's how

475
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh wants to win, right and it just it felt

476
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: like Russell gave them an opportunity.

477
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: And how about this they doubled basically doubled up the

478
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: Jets in yards per play in this game.

479
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: Like the Steelers offense doubled up the Jets with Devontae

480
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: Adams that everybody in Aaron Rodgers in yards per play,

481
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: they were more explosive.

482
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: That's a saucy nug. You didn't tease it as such,

483
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: but that's sorry, saucy nugg. That's a saucy nugg. I

484
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of thoughts on this one. So let's

485
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: start first of all here Mike Tomlin and the decision.

486
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: I said this in the week if you missed it,

487
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: But my theory on that was, if we're gonna laud

488
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: all these coaches who use this phrase, it's about the process,

489
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: it's not about results. And you hear Nick Saban say,

490
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: We've heard Belichick say it. You've heard every coach utter

491
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: that phrase. Normally it's said when you lose a football game,

492
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: you say, you know what, we're not gonna We're not

493
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: going to focus on the result that we lost. The

494
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: process was right, how we went about it, how we prepared.

495
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: The result wasn't there, but the process, process, process, well,

496
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: that should also be the case if you're winning games

497
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: and you look and find flaws in the process, and

498
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what Mike Tomlin did. He looked at

499
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: it and said, we're missing opportunities in the past game.

500
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Yes we're winning football games, but I am focused on

501
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: the play in the process, not the result in terms

502
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: of a win or a loss. And that's why you

503
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: had the conviction to say, we need more, and maybe

504
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: maybe Russ can't give us more, but we're going to

505
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: find out. We're going to put him out there and

506
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: find out if he can take this to another level

507
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: and give guys opportunities to make plays. So I applaud

508
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin on that did so before the game, and

509
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: I'll do so after the game. I thought that was

510
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: the right move. A couple other thoughts. You talked about

511
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: how they're playing physical, running the ball, getting the tight

512
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: ends involved with friarmourth and with Washington, and then big

513
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: shot opportunities down the field and Rhett this is the

514
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: one that I was thinking of watching this game. I'm

515
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: watching on the other side, Mike Williams, who's been publicly

516
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: embarrassed by Aaron Rodgers after a game. You go out

517
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: and get Davante Adams, so he falls further down the

518
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: pecking order, he didn't practice early in the week. I

519
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: don't know what was going on there, but it sounds

520
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: like obviously he'd have a legitimate reason to not want

521
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: to be a New York Jet and if the Jets

522
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: are interested in trading him, I'm sitting here watching this

523
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: ball game going. I was around Mike Williams with the

524
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: Chargers his whole career. What Mike Williams does well is

525
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: what Russell Wilson was giving George Pickens opportunities to do

526
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: in that game. If you're going to trade Mike Williams,

527
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: and I'm Omar Khan, I'm calling as a Pittsburgh Steeler

528
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, come on back over here. So he

529
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: went a nice catch on a fourth down, But we

530
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: will utilize you in what you do. We'll put you

531
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: opposite of George Pickens. And now we have you talk

532
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: about a basketball team with those tight ends. If you

533
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: put Mike Williams out there with George Pickens and with

534
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback who wants to give guys chances down the field,

535
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: tell me I'm not crazy here for thinking that.

536
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: You're You're not crazy, and you know what I you know,

537
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: and I shame he got injured early in the season.

538
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: But Roman Wilson. I felt like, if you get those big,

539
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: those big dudes out there and you let Roman work

540
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: in the slot, do you know the rookie man that

541
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: would be, that'd be a lot of fun.

542
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: You know as well.

543
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: I love that idea. I love that idea as long

544
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: as you're continuing to feed you know, George Pickens, I

545
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: feel like the targets have to stay that way for

546
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: him to be engaged. And and you know what he

547
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: was against the Jets.

548
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: You know who played well in this game too for

549
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: the for the Steelers, Peyton Wilson, the linebacker let him

550
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: and tackles as a rookie who was a steal with

551
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: the ninety seventh pick. He was in my top fifty.

552
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: It was really just his Yeah, Beanie Bishop, by the way,

553
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: I think Andie Bishop has already passed Beanie Wells as

554
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: the best beanie in NFL history. Just off that off

555
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: that one game and then he was awesome. Mason McCormick

556
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: starting up front along the offensive line. Keep in mind,

557
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: once they get to the buy and get out of

558
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: the buy, they're going to get Troy Fatanu, their first

559
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: round pick back. They'll eventually get Zach Frazer who was

560
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: playing awesome as their center. That is a heck of

561
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: a draft class. And then you just throw Beanie in

562
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: there as a little he's a he's a bonus Beanie,

563
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: uh for for being an undrafted free agent. What they

564
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: and what they got out of him. Someone we saw

565
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: at the you know, at the Big twelve combine, who

566
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: was running in the four threes. You know there, Yeah,

567
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: he was awesome. That's a that's a heck of a class.

568
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: And on the previous year, we're seeing Washington make plays.

569
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: You're seeing Broderick Jones out there moving people in there

570
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: in their run game. That's two really good drafts. It

571
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: kind of changed, Uh, this kind of whole nucleus of

572
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've got their stars. You know, you've

573
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: got You've got Watt, who's a star. Fitzpatrick's a star.

574
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: But man, they've built a lot of the guts team

575
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: in the last two dirafts and.

576
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: The way that they've remade that offensive line, I think,

577
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: you know, we talk about teams that have done that

578
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: in the past. I feel like the Chiefs have had

579
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: to do it like three different times in the Mahomes era.

580
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: Bengals kind of started to do it as well with Burrow.

581
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: But yeah, with the Steelers have done here because it

582
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: got bad for a while, right, I mean we were

583
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: talking three years ago, like whoa what happened here? Right

584
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: with with Pittsburgh obviously been known for having, you know,

585
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: a solid group upfront, and they've done a terrific job

586
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: Omar Khan has, especially here in these last two years.

587
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: Quickly on the other side of things, the Jets, I

588
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: had my doubts of whether or not this would pay

589
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: dividends immediately. I thought they'd be a little bit more

590
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: on the same page than maybe they would have been.

591
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: And look, I think that'll get better offensively for them.

592
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: But man, I just Aaron Rodgers said something after the

593
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: game where he said he didn't like the energy, and

594
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I thought the body language is just brutal.

595
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: It's just like if they don't get going, and that

596
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: it's he's the face of the team. It's just a man,

597
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: It's not a It is a hangar, head downer body

598
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: language that you're getting from the New York Jets. And

599
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: then Garrett Wilson after the ball clanks off his chest,

600
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: his body language was not good. It's just energy. The

601
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: overall energy from that side right now not great. And defensively,

602
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: I know they're missing pieces, but they're not playing as

603
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: well on that side of the ball either.

604
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: I thought the energy thing was was a huge, huge

605
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: kind of red flag. You know, as he talked about.

606
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: It comes to the television, It just comes right to

607
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: the TV. I live.

608
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 2: He's like, I live for these types of games, right

609
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: You're the only game in town, everybody's watching. You want

610
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: to be at your best and for the energy to

611
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: be flat a game like that, you know, Yeah, that

612
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: that does say a little bit of something there about

613
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: what the Jets are dealing with right now. Hopefully they

614
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: can't get this thing rolling. They got a chance to

615
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: go do it this week. Believe they're up in New

616
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: England the Battle of Patriots in an afcast matchup.

617
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: So, yeah, what.

618
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: Happens there, Tennessee Buffalo RTT. What was your takeaway in

619
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: that one?

620
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: Look, Tennessee's limited offensively. I think that's just the kind

621
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: of the best way to put it. From the quarterback

622
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: spot with Will Levis out and or ineffective and you know,

623
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: with some some bad decisions that kind of keep popping

624
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: up even when he's in there, and so you know

625
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: what I see then on the Bill side of things

626
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: was Ray Davis.

627
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: It's a stud in he only had filed me in.

628
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you have five carries in this game.

629
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: But man, he just looks like he's got so much juice,

630
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: especially between the tackles, like like he comes right off

631
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: his offensive line, like there's there's no wasted movements, there's

632
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: no wasted yards in the way that he runs, like

633
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: so efficient with his cuts. He's got great, great physicality

634
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: and balance when he's getting contacted.

635
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: Man, I feel like you got to give him more carries.

636
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that James Cook has done anything wrong

637
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: here at this point, but I feel like Ray Davis

638
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: has earned himself a right to get more than what

639
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: the Bills, you know, I've been given him, and I

640
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: think they got to probably figure that out now that

641
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: both of them this is kind of the first game

642
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: where they've really worked both of them in after Cook

643
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: was out last week.

644
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: So I think that's a huge deal for the Bills

645
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: going forward.

646
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: And then you know, Marii Cooper, you know, is trying

647
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: to figure out what what Rowdy's run and still ends

648
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 2: up catching a touchdown pass. So I mean things are

649
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: coming up basis for Josh Allen here.

650
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Yes, let me touch on Ray Davis quickly. Ray Davis,

651
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the the teeter totter analogy, Rhett.

652
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: That's like as the weather goes down, the carrier should

653
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: go up. That's the that's the teeter totter we need

654
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: here with Ray Davis as we get later into the year.

655
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Just I'm okay, if you want to, if you want

656
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: to be a little bit, you know, sparing with how

657
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: you're giving him touches. Let's get to the year. But

658
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, as we get into the colder months,

659
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: especially up in Buffalo, he's built for that. He is

660
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: a perfect fit. He's better than Zach Moss. And Zach

661
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: Moss we saw a run up there in that system

662
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: and have some success. So I'm a Ray Davis fan. There.

663
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: I went and watched Keon Coleman his targets and catches

664
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: because he had a big day, some big plays with

665
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: with the rookie out there really two things broken tackles,

666
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: broken play that's that's where his yards came from. Has

667
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: a slant spins out of a tackle and goes and

668
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: then you just have him reacting with with Josh Allen

669
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: scrambling around and getting in his vision and getting a

670
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: big play that way. So good to see there though,

671
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: for Keon Coleman and a Buffalo team with Gregory Rousseau

672
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: off the edge. We both watched his pressures. We were

673
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: talking about that this morning off air, and that's someone

674
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: who just unique with his with his length and versatility

675
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: inside outside, can win on a pure rush. You can

676
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: use him on games. He can power you. Gosh, who

677
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: is it Petite Freeer he put on? Yeah, so he's Yeah,

678
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: the pressures I think said the PFF had him for

679
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: like eleven pressures. A couple of those maybe a little

680
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: bit generous, but overall very disruptive. Just to he's just

681
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: turned into a really good football player.

682
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 3: And and you know, he was one of our favorite

683
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: path of the draft interviews.

684
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: You remember how inquisitive he was to us, YEA what

685
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: he's Yeah, he just wanted to wanted to like just

686
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: soak everything up.

687
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: And I love that. I love getting to know him

688
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: a little bit.

689
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: And I think, yeah, when when Jalen Duncan went out

690
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: for Tennessee and Petite Freer went in there.

691
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: Uh Russou really started the feast.

692
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: So it's great to know the Bills can kind of

693
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: have one of those dominant type of dudes off the

694
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: edge for that Sean McDermott defense.

695
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, the Bills are. Bills are in good shape

696
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: at this point of five.

697
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: Let's rip through some more than you don't need to

698
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: take as long hair. Seattle Atlanta not the most esthetically

699
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: pleasing game, I guess if you're a Seahawk fan. It

700
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: was fun to watch, but not a very competitive game there.

701
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: No, And look, I think for Seattle what this kind

702
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: of you know, continues to prove for you is Kenneth

703
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: Walker is kind of the engine to me that make

704
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: this offense go. You know, the way that he runs

705
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: the football, and you can obviously see it certainly helps

706
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: when you've got just a whole, you know, three yard

707
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: size hole there.

708
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: But and then watch what he does in the past

709
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: game here watch this catch.

710
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: How many running backs go up and make that type

711
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: of adjustment to a ball in a contested catch with

712
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: a defender close in coverage. I just think he's got

713
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: such a unique style of running the football. He's got

714
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: great balance there too, and he to me really opens

715
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: things up for Seattle, and we saw you know, you know,

716
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: be a little bit more judicious with the football in

717
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: this game. Probably as a result of that. I think

718
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: there's just so many options when when Kenneth Walker's healthy

719
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: and rolling for the Seahawks offense.

720
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, And I think they have a chance to

721
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: be a really balanced team because they can kind of

722
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: do what the game dictates. If they need to run

723
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: the ball, they can run it if they need to.

724
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: If they find themselves in a shootout, Gino, with the

725
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: weapons they have on the outside, he can play in

726
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: that type of a game. So I know they're coming

727
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: off a little bit of a skid here with with

728
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: the three game losing streak, but I do feel good

729
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: about the i and talent that they do have there

730
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and I think defensively it's strength and numbers.

731
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: They just have a lot of really really good young players.

732
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: You saw a scoop and score in this game. So

733
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: they're doing some good things there in Seattle with the

734
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: way they're continuing to build out that roster. In Atlanta, look,

735
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: it was a clunker, but they're still sitting here at

736
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: four and three. No reason to panic that division is

737
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: still within their reach. So we'll see what happens going

738
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: forward with them. Let's get to Washington in their game

739
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: over Carolina, which let's be generous and call it a

740
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: game Carolina non competitive. I said it after I saw

741
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: them live was Week two against the Chargers. I said,

742
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: they will have the first pick in the draft. Now,

743
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: some other teams are given them a run for their

744
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: money with how bad Tennessee has been and what they

745
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: look like there, and New England's not great either. But

746
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: I still think talent wise, I think this is still

747
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: it's the most talent starved roster, especially with Derek Brown

748
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: not out there to the point where Jayde Daniels can

749
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: get hurt early in this ballgame, Marcus Mao, Mariota goes

750
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: in and it's a forty burger.

751
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that did not like seeing that piece of it,

752
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: I think is all the more glaring. And I know

753
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: Carolina said they're going to stick with Andy Dalton as

754
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 2: the starter for right now. I mean, I mean like

755
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 2: he's been. He's been the post Cincinnati Bengals Andy Dalton

756
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: since the Week one start where he you know, helped

757
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: or not the Week one start, since his first start

758
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 2: where he, you know, helped the Panthers engineer their their

759
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: first and only win of the season. So things are

760
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: kind of coming back down to the mean. It feels

761
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 2: like on that side of things, I wonder if if

762
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: Bryce Young is is, you know, somewhere on the horizon

763
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: here once again, or does it even matter at this

764
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: point when you're talking about the roster and the dearth

765
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: of talent there. But for the Commanders, I think that

766
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: often is one of the biggest maybe you know, positive developments,

767
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: if not surprises that we've seen thus far. Maybe even

768
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: this season, they played really well together. Ryan Robinson went

769
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: over one hundred in this game. Physical presence on the ground,

770
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: which obviously helps Mariota's cause. Look at this throw he

771
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: made on the run right here to zach Ertz. I mean,

772
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 2: that was some kind of vintage Mariota stuff right there,

773
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: and what it you know, it's kind of paid off,

774
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: you know, for Adam Peters and for Washington to have

775
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: a veteran like Mariota available to come in that can

776
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: kind of do some of the things that you like

777
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: from Jayden Daniels with the mobility.

778
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 3: So hopefully it's.

779
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Not an extended absence for Daniels and O dan Quinn

780
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: said today DJ was week to week on that rib injury.

781
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully it's not too much longer. One. I definitely

782
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: see him in Caleb a square up here. That's going

783
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: to be a fun ball game. This is This is

784
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: the last doot on this game and we'll move on

785
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: so you don't need to talk much more about it

786
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: was an ugly ball game last year. These two teams

787
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: finished two games apart in the standings. I mean, they

788
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: might as well be oceans apart with where those two

789
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: franchises are right now. When you think about where Washing

790
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: it's not just the record five and two verses one

791
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: and six, but just man one has got so much

792
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: momentum and so much going for him there with a

793
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: new coaching staff and nailing the quarterback there jayde and Daniels.

794
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: So interesting to see how quickly it can take you

795
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: off of a different off of one path and puts

796
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: you on another one. Those two teams were riding next

797
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: to each other, and they are not next to each

798
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: other any longer.

799
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all, And it kind of makes

800
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: me wonder, like what are they gonna do with Jonathan Brooks?

801
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: Like I know they opened the practice window on him,

802
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: and I know you'd love to see what he's got here,

803
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 2: but dang sure, no sacrificial Williams all.

804
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: Right, speaking of a bad football team, but one with

805
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: some hope. New England. They are over there in London

806
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: playing against Bucke's Jags. They lose thirty two to sixteen.

807
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: It looks ugly, but I'm telling you there's a lot

808
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: of good to take out of that game on their

809
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: side of things. Before we get to the Jags. Drake

810
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: May's making plays, big time throws down the field. He's

811
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: using his legs. They he's going to be really, really good. Man.

812
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: What I've seen from him, I think he's it was determined, like, hell, okay,

813
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: he's ready. We can put him out there even though

814
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: we're not very good, and he'll be able to survive.

815
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: He's doing more than surviving. He's playing well and I'm

816
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: excited about his future there. I don't know who else

817
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: is going to be there. From a coaching staff standpoint,

818
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: what that looks like off into the future, probably not great.

819
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: When Bill Belichick is blasting drawed Mayo's comments about the

820
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: toughness of the team, and that's kind of a weird

821
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: situation there with your former coach there. But right side

822
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: of things starting there with the Patriots, Drake may Is

823
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: is going to be really good.

824
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, I think that's if you're a Patriots fan,

825
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 2: that's what you guy have to hang on to here

826
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: at this point, right. I mean, it's like, let's find

827
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: a good and use it to project how things can

828
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: get better in the future. And that's that's kind of

829
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: where you're at for you know, a one win football team.

830
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 2: On the flip side, for the Jaguars, you know, you

831
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 2: want to talk about toughness. They're you know with those

832
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: comments from draw Mayo and Belichick, but toughness is what

833
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby brings to the Jaguars, and it feels like

834
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 2: that's something that they really needed to kind of get

835
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: out of this slump that they've been on since early

836
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: in the season. So, you know, for me, seeing Tank

837
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: go over over one hundred couple of touchdowns, that physical

838
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 2: presence that he brings, you know, it makes me kind

839
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: of curious what this thing is going to look like

840
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: when Travis Etn gets healthy again, because you know, Bigsby

841
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: needs carries and I feel like he gets He's one

842
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 2: of those dudes in one of those backstage that gets

843
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: stronger if the game goes on, and you know, I'm

844
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: excited to see you know how this offense kind of

845
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: maybe shifts and morphs, you know, with the player like

846
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 2: Bigsby in the backfield.

847
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: Let me give you one Patriots saucy nug and I'll

848
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: get to the Jags. Uh. The New England Patriots have

849
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: lost six straight games, as you can see here on

850
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: the screen, for the first time since nineteen ninety three.

851
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: To put that into context, I had I had braces.

852
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: I was a freshman in high school and just just

853
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: playing a mean point guard out there, just trying not

854
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: to get elbowed in the face because it really did

855
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: it did it give you a bloody lift there when

856
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: you got those braces on there. Got to put the

857
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: little bit put the like wax. Gotta put the wax

858
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: over the braces so that doesn't stick to your lip.

859
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: But that's what was going on in my life the

860
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: last time the Patriots lost six straight games. So that's

861
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: a reference call for you.

862
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: There.

863
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: Not great, not great. On the Jag side of things.

864
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: BTJ was great, Bigsby was great, So there's still some

865
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 1: good young pieces there, and it was nice to see

866
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: Trevor just kind of exhale a little bit. It was

867
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: definitely the game that he needed. Hopefully they can build

868
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: off that going forward, because it would they lose that game.

869
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: It's a different conversation and who knows, you know, who's

870
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: who's there and who's not there in the coming weeks.

871
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: All right, let's get one more in here before we

872
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: take a pause here. The Raiders the Rams ugly? Ugly?

873
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: Is that a way to put it. Unfortunately Aidan O'Connell

874
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: goes down with thumb injury, he's going to be down.

875
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: The Rams kind of ugly their way to a win.

876
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 2: It was, I mean, like defense, right, let's credit credit

877
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: the Rams defense. That's a young group right there, with

878
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: all the draft picks that they've spent on that side

879
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: of the ball over the last few years and hit on.

880
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: A majority of those.

881
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: And I think Kobe Durant is one that maybe we

882
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: forget about a little bit because he was outstanding in

883
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 2: this game. And you know, I know you watched a

884
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: lot of brought Bauers. What he for the Raiders in

885
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: this game, which was really good. Once he targeted fourteen times,

886
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: I'll let you get to that. But on one of

887
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: those third and fives, it was Kobe Durant in coverage

888
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: down in the red zone of the Raiders first possession,

889
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: and it's Durant that had great coverage on him, makes

890
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: a great play on the football, knocks it away, orses

891
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: the Raiders to kick a field goal. So I'm going

892
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: to say that Kobe helps save four points there for

893
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: the Rams because that's usually a completion when it goes

894
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: to Bowers, so they keep the touchdown off the board,

895
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: make him kick a field goal. He then has an

896
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: inter exception while also in coverage on Bowers, which led

897
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: to seven points for the Rams offense. So I'm going

898
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 2: to chalk up now eleven points in Kobe Durant's corner

899
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 2: in this game. Then he had a strip sack on

900
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 2: the raiders next offensive possession that was scooped and scored

901
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: like Cam Curl. So I'm going to say that Kobe

902
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: Durant actually helped, in a way, in some bad math,

903
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: outscore the Raiders in this game, helping account for about

904
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: eighteen points.

905
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: I'll give you positives on the Raiders defensively. They gave

906
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: it two hundred five fifty nine yards, which is nothing.

907
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: Two of ten the Rams were on third down. They

908
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: were excellent in that regard. Their defense. Really nothing to

909
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: be ashamed of with how they played and competed. And

910
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned it. I went back and watched all the

911
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: targets there for Brock Bauers. I said it when I

912
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: was there in training camp. I know DeVonta Adams is here,

913
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: he will be the best player on their offense. Obviously

914
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: DeVonta Adams has since moved on. It's it's obvious clear

915
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: now he is their best player on offense, and just

916
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: you can't get him enough targets. Saucy nug by the way,

917
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: I can give you a Brock Bauers saucy nug. I

918
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: think we might be setting the record for saucy nugs today.

919
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: Let's see here.

920
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 3: Is something about me having him on our rookie fantasy

921
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: team or no.

922
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: Oh, did you really? That's that's an unfortunate nug. Here's

923
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: a Saucy nug forty seven receptions this season. Only Poka

924
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: Nakua with fifty eight and Saquon Barkley with forty nine

925
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: have more through their first seven games in NFL history.

926
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: So good news there. Let's give the Raiders.

927
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: Out who's silver and black Waite.

928
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: That's a good way to end that discussion there, Hey, Raiders,

929
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't look pretty, it doesn't look pretty offensively, but uh,

930
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of good young players and uh

931
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: and there is some positive, good defense, good bowers. All right, Right,

932
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: we had some news come out of that Cleveland game.

933
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson goes down achilles injury. Everything was meant, I'm

934
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: not going to get it. Everything was set after the game.

935
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: I know a bunch of his teammates came to his defense.

936
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: I know some people love that, some people didn't love that.

937
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. You don't want toe anybody get hurt out there.

938
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: You can clearly see the thing pop as someone who's

939
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: who's torn his achilles. That's that's what it looks like. So,

940
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: you know, just a tough situation there, but an even

941
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: tougher situation for where the Browns are. They're one and

942
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: six right now. I'll start with this question before we

943
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: get to the Bengals for sale sign for players. I know,

944
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, Miles Garrett's Name's been floated around there. I

945
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: don't know that they would ever trade him, but I

946
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: don't bod. I don't have any issue with teams trying

947
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: to pry him out of there.

948
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: Oh no.

949
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean again, I think Zadarius Smith is one to

950
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: watch too, you know, as a guy that you know,

951
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: maybe not not quite as valuable as Miles Garrett is

952
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: to that franchise, so maybe a bit more expendable there.

953
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's a it's a tough watch right

954
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: now in Cleveland. And you know, I thought it felt

955
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: good to see Nick Chubb get back into the end

956
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 2: zone right first game in almost four hundred days after

957
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 2: that devastating knee injury Week two last year.

958
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 3: You know this, he didn't have.

959
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: A terrifically you know, prolific day on the ground, but

960
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: seeing him get back into the end zone and get

961
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: back healthy, you know, maybe that's something that'll really help.

962
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: But I assume Jameis Winston moving forward, although he was

963
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: the emergency quarterback in this game, which I thought was

964
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: interesting in DTR during Thompson Robinson was actually QB two.

965
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: He actually came in first and got injured.

966
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: So I mean, they're gonna have to sign a quarterback

967
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 2: here at some point. There's just there's so much that's

968
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: going wrong right now in Cleveland and or Cincinnati, a

969
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: game they really needed, right and Trey Hendrickson, like, as

970
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: we're talking about edge rushers, like that dude is.

971
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: Such a baller.

972
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 3: I mean, he is so good.

973
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: He is so athletic, Like he's so athletic, like he's

974
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 2: sometimes able to manipulate his body, like from pile driving

975
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 2: a quarterback into the ground. He even got called on

976
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: one and I thought he did a fantastic job of

977
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 2: trying to limit himself.

978
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 3: From falling onto the quarterback.

979
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: He's just he's got one of the best combinations I think,

980
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: dj of speed and power in the league off the edge,

981
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: like he's just so he's a special dude.

982
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah and polish, you know, speed, power and polish. He

983
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: just knows what he's doing. He's a craftsman with using

984
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: his hands there as a pass rusher. The Bengals feel

985
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: like a team that just we're going to wake up

986
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: and we're going to look and they're going to be

987
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: like ten and five. You know, at one point in

988
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: time we're like, oh man, that was They got to

989
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: got themselves into a pretty good position here. They they

990
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: start off slow, it's their thing, that's what they do.

991
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: But They're finding their way here, find ways to win

992
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: ball games, and just one game under five hundred at

993
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: this point in time, Miami, Indy. This was again had

994
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: I want to trash this weekend to football.

995
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: Man.

996
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: There was a couple of really good games looked. We

997
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: looked at Detroit, Minnesota, Houston, Green Bay, Kcy, San Francisco,

998
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: all interesting games. There were some clunkers. This was a clunker.

999
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: Going back through and watching Anthony Richardson in a winning

1000
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: performance ten of twenty four buck twenty nine through the air,

1001
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: man didn't love what I saw there, just the vision

1002
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: I question, pushing balls into traffic, laid on throws. There

1003
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: was some flashes, you see a couple of those big

1004
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: time throws that he makes, but on the whole not

1005
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: not what I wanted to see there In terms of

1006
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: growth with Anthony Richardson, Let's be patient. I know he's raw.

1007
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: They found a way to win a ball game. Give

1008
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: the Colts credit for that, Give their defense credit against

1009
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins team that it sounds like is going

1010
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: to get to it back here. But man, that was

1011
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: not an esthetically pleasing tape to watch.

1012
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean, like we got to get Anthony Richardson to

1013
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: a point where he can you know, he had played

1014
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 2: six games in a row yet as a pro. Yeah,

1015
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: you know, like we got to find we gotta find

1016
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: some time to you know, stay consistently in the lineup

1017
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: here and see what that brings us. And went in

1018
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 2: a game where they're without Jonathan Taylor as well, that

1019
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: was that was not a not a good recipe, but

1020
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: they found a way to win. To credit them for that.

1021
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 2: You know, they ran Anthony coming off the oblique injury

1022
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: eight times in this game for fifty six yards and

1023
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 2: he actually had to pick third down conversion to kind

1024
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: of help Salt with the clock at the end. So

1025
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: kind of made some places when they needed to at

1026
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: the end. But they're gonna need a lot more to contend,

1027
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: you know with the Texans and company in the AFC,

1028
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: rely in their own division there in the AFC.

1029
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, no question. And we got a couple a

1030
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: couple of games coming up tonight. I will be here

1031
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: in Phoenix for Chargers Cardinals. But before that, we have

1032
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bucks here. Uh, because give me,

1033
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: give me one thought there, what are you looking forward

1034
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: to in this game? What decides this game?

1035
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1036
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: Look, I want to see Baker Mayfield, you know, kind

1037
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: of execute against this defense. And you know the pressure

1038
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 2: that they can put on you from the interior, which

1039
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: we talked about last week, right with Metta, bk and company,

1040
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 2: and then obviously with the crew on the edge getting

1041
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: after you as well. And you know what kind of

1042
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 2: effect does Kyle Hamilton have in this game? And then

1043
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: like again for the Buccaneers offense, you know what happens

1044
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: on the ground in this game?

1045
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: Right?

1046
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 3: Is Sean Tucker have it in him? Again?

1047
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 2: Do we see more? You know, Bucky irving rocket and

1048
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 2: rolling here. I just want to see what this Bucks

1049
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: offense can do against a really good Ravens defense here.

1050
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I And look you look at the Ravens defense.

1051
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: Fifty nine yards a game given up on the ground.

1052
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: So you've got Baker Mayfield, who's been hot this year.

1053
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: I'm just curious if this is one of those games

1054
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: where you just come out there and say, we're not

1055
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: even going to try to run the football. We're gonna

1056
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: come out here, We're yeah, we're gonna let Baker throw

1057
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: it fifty five times in this ballgame. And then we'll

1058
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: see if on the other side of things, if the

1059
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: Ravens get their ground game going. But it's a great matchup.

1060
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: It's a great doubleheader. The one I'll be at here

1061
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals Chargers. Chargers beat up at wide receiver, but they

1062
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: do have a healthy offensive line. We saw that last

1063
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: week against Denver. Just having Slater and all back out there.

1064
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: Going back through that tape, Sean slatery, it's really really good.

1065
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: And I know he's missed some time with injury last year. Man,

1066
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: when he's healthy and out there, I don't know there's

1067
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: anybody better than him with what he does in the

1068
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: run game. He's an instant anchor and pass protection. He's

1069
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: playing great. So you've got healthy offensive line, you got

1070
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: some receivers down. I expect them to come out run

1071
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: the football. On the other side, with the Arizona Cardinals,

1072
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: it's a I mean, it's a box of chocolates.

1073
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 3: Man.

1074
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: It is a Forest Gump team. You watch one tape

1075
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: one week and you get excited about what they do

1076
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, and then you pop on

1077
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: the tape against the Packers and you're like, this team

1078
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: is lost. So it is as tricking team to figure out.

1079
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: But having Marvin Harrison Junior back and healthy, looking forward

1080
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: to seeing him and Kyler Murray on the same field

1081
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,479
Speaker 1: at the same time. I gave coach Harbaugh my comp

1082
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. By the way Vett I said, you know,

1083
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: I said, he looks like, you know, the Roadrunner with

1084
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: the football, and I thought that would be kind of Roadrunner.

1085
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: I can imagine Jim maybe growing up maybe watching Roadrunner.

1086
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: I thought that might Land didn't really. Land didn't really.

1087
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: Land didn't really get much reaction on that one, but

1088
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: uh more literal. I think Coach Harbaugh is a little

1089
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: more literal, not going with me on the so swinging

1090
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,960
