00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: the show. Nicely done on the last name there, Buck,

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: I've been practicing that all day. He's he's a fun one.

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to chatting with him, good football player.

22
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: Let's start out with though some news that's just come

23
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: down recently, and that is the news at the quarterback

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: position with the Minnesota Vike. They go ahead and put

25
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford on I R and activate a friendly name

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: here and Teddy Bridgewater is great to see him back

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: being on the active roster. He's gonna back up Case

28
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Keenum uh initially here for a while. Case Keenum playing

29
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: pretty well. Buck. When you look at this football team

30
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, with what they have with Keenum

31
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: and Bridgewater going forward, I mean, can this be a

32
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contending team? Oh? I think so. I think

33
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: if you look at the way that they've been able

34
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: to play around the quarterback position the last two years.

35
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Really they have been able to withstand a ton of injuries.

36
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: They've been able to play whoever at the position and

37
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: continue to give wins. And the reason I say that

38
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: they can contend for a Super Bowl is they're built

39
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: the right way. When you look at the teams that

40
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: can overcome quarterback issues, strong defense, power for running game.

41
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: We talked about you need to have a playmaker at

42
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: every level of your defense. They have that everything. Griffin

43
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks, Xavier Rhodes, Harrison Smith. They cover that thing,

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: the run game. They have a good enough run game

45
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: to be able to make plays. It would be better

46
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: if they had Dalvin Cook, but Jered McKinnon and let

47
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Tavis Murray have given them some contributions. And then when

48
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: I look at the system, the system is very quarterback friendly.

49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Past Sherman has put a system in place where small,

50
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: short arm throwers, guys who don't necessarily like to push

51
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the ball down the field can be successful. So yeah,

52
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: if they continue to play ball control style and lean

53
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: under defense and they running game, I think they absolutely

54
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: can be one of the teams that's standing in the end. Yeah,

55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I think when you look

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, no matter who's playing it in

57
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: this offense, get the ball up quick, don't turn the

58
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: football over. Rely on that defense. It's gonna be some

59
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: low scoring games. But I think if they're efficient at

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: that position, be at case Keenum or Teddy Bridgewater, I

61
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: think they're a dangerous football team, namely because that defense. Yeah, absolutely,

62
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: I think this is a team that isn't good position

63
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: to win then FC North, especially because Aaron Rodgers isn't there.

64
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: The only team that has a legitimate quarterback is Matthew

65
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: Staff and I don't know if they're balanced enough to

66
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: beat them. I look for the Vikings to be there.

67
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get some of these games here.

68
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: This week our game of the week, we're gonna go

69
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: with one. I don't know if people would have anticipated

70
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: this before the season. Chargers, even though the three and

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: five team that's dangerous going on the road to take

72
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville Jaguars. And when you look at this

73
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: football game, buck he try and find a key to

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: the game. What is it? When I look at the

75
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Gusts Bradley ball, I believe Melvin Gordon has to be

76
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: a guy that plays a big game for the Chargers.

77
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: And part of the reason they need to be able

78
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: to play a big get a big game from him.

79
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: You have to be able to run the ball at

80
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Defensively, they are outstanding against the past.

81
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Their defense leads the league in sacks and do a

82
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: great job locking people up on the perimeter. The only

83
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: way you can get them out their comfort zone is

84
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: be committed to running the ball with that scheme, with

85
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: their personnel. They're giving up a lot of yards on

86
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the ground, and if you can get them in these

87
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: situations where you're second and short, third medium, you're able

88
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: to still maintain that run pass balance. That is the

89
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: best way that you can attack that defense, because if

90
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: you're getting longer the situations obvious passing downs. It's gonna

91
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: be tough dealing with Saxonville because that front line is outstanding.

92
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, and because of the way

93
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: they played defense there in Jacksonville, they're gonna get nose

94
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: and knows. Like you like to say, try and lock

95
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: those wide receivers up. I think these white outs for

96
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: the charges have to win someone on one matchups. Now.

97
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: The good thing is when you study them, you see

98
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: him in some games earlier this year. I see a

99
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: football team with some weapons on the outside as well

100
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: as in the slot that can win against tight Coverage're

101
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna see him here against New England Patriots. Tyrone Williams

102
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: comes in motion and when you get in motion, you're

103
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: able to identify the coverage has somebody following him. You

104
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: know you've got man coverage. Watch him win at the

105
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, stem up and then get a little

106
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: bit of separation, get a nice little window there for

107
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers to fit this ball in in the slot.

108
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: You got Tyroll Williams winning inside. That's a good sign

109
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: for the San Diego charter for the Los Angeles Chargers.

110
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Haven't done that in a while. Uh. Then we see here,

111
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: same game against the Patriots. You got Keenan Allen at

112
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: the top of your screen. He's in man coverage. Got

113
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: all you have to do is the quarterback here is

114
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: read the hat. Read the hat of the defender. You

115
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: see he's on top. So you queue up that back

116
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: shoulder throw, timing perfect, you get a big completion. Those

117
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: back shoulder throws are gonna be big this week for

118
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and company. You know, one thing that we

119
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: know about Philip Rivers is he understands how to handle

120
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: this type of scheme. We've seen him win games against

121
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, We've seen him win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

122
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: He understands how to play the patient dincon dunk game

123
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: and selectively take his shots down the field. It is

124
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: going to require that kind of patients, that kind of

125
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: liberation from the quarterback to be successful. We'll see if

126
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: they can get it done. Because in the end, this

127
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: defense is playing at a level and historic level. Philip

128
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Rivers has to really make sure that he takes good

129
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: care of the football. Let's get to the Jacks here.

130
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: Their key if they're gonna win this football game is

131
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: what you know. I normally would say the running game,

132
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go back to it in these games

133
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: that are very, very competitive, I think it comes down

134
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 1: to quarterback play, and for the Jaguars, it's about Blake

135
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Borders not taking really taking terrific care of the ball

136
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: when he turns it over. It's a recipe for disaster

137
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: for them. They're not necessarily a high powered offense that

138
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: can necessarily get you back in games, but they're efficient

139
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: and they're effective when they're leaning on the run game

140
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: with Leonard Fournette and Chris Ivory and then throwing play

141
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: action passes to their crew of receivers on the outside,

142
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: namely Markey's Lee Um Mercedes Lewis. When they're able to

143
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: do that, they can be effective. But it really starts

144
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles taking good care of the football. Ye take

145
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: good care of the football. I think that's a good

146
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: point I come back to this football team. If they

147
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: can just establish the run earlier, that to me is

148
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: is my key. Blake Bortles is gonna have to make

149
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: some plays, needs to protect the ball, but if they

150
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: can establish the runner, it's gonna make his job much easier.

151
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, the Charge are gonna come into this game

152
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: trying to force Blake Bortles and to throw on the rock.

153
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: But if they can just get a little bit of

154
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: run game going, don't need to pop any of these

155
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: sixty seventy yards, but just get yourself in second five,

156
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: second six, get some good yards there on first down. Uh.

157
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette being back in the line up should make

158
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: that a little bit easier. All Right, we gotta pick

159
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: a winner here about who you likeking this? I mean,

160
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: you laid out a recipe right there, So I'm gonna

161
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: go with what you suggest. I'm gonna going to Jacksonville Jaguars.

162
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: I believe they're going to run the ball. They're gonna

163
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: punish the Charges up front. Lennard Fournette will be established. Look,

164
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: he's coming off being suspended four week or sat down

165
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: in active four week. He'll come back. He'll be fighty

166
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: and angry. I look for him to have over a

167
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: hunt of yards, maybe thirty carries, and he is going

168
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: to set it up where Blake Bortles has two touchdowns passed.

169
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: Just put it all out there. I mean, he didn't

170
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: leave anything left for the imagination exactly what's going on.

171
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: I like the Chargers to go on the road. Look

172
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: at Philip Rivers and what he's done against his football

173
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: team historically, he's been outstanding. I think six and one

174
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: lifetime against the Jacks, and I know this is the

175
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: best defense the Jags have had that he'll face. But

176
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: I think there's some confidence there for Rivers. I think

177
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: he goes on the road and gets it done like

178
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers in this one. All right, Speaking of the Jags, Buck,

179
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: you look at player that's maybe the best free agent

180
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: addition in the off season, Calais Campbell bringing him over,

181
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: and what he's done for this football team. Eleven sacks

182
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: leads the league. I went back and watched some tape

183
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: of him and try to figure out what he's doing

184
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: and how he's playing at such a high level, and

185
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I came away with a couple of different takeaways. Buck.

186
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: I came away with the hands that he plays with

187
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: what your outstanding, and then I came away with a heart,

188
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: which is another way to say motor. Watch how they're

189
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: using him here. You're gonna see him lined up in

190
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: three different locations. Here, you see him over the center.

191
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see a nice little loop stunt here. Watch

192
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: him work his way around, and then there's the finish.

193
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: You see that length, go ahead and launch himself and

194
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: finish with a stack. Now you see him lined up

195
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: outside the tackle against the Colts here again, keep the

196
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: same thing in mind here hands. Watch his hands right here,

197
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: get in chuck, they get a little arm over, and

198
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: that's an easy win for him, and then watch him

199
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: finish once he gets home. You find somebody with a

200
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: lot of sacks, I'll find you a good finisher. There's

201
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell. So we've seen him over the center. We've

202
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: seen him outside the tackle. So now let's look at

203
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: him inside the tackle here against the Houston Texans. Again.

204
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on those hands. Watch he does. He

205
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: gets his hands inside and he's gonna snatch pull, get

206
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: that guard off balance, and then get to the quarterback.

207
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: And once again you'll see the effort here to get

208
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: him on the ground, so hands in heart. Those are

209
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: the two things he brings to the table for the Jacks.

210
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Eleven sacks. He's been outstanding, I think very much in

211
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: the mix to be the defensive players. I mean, he

212
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: is worthy of being in consideration for the defensive Player

213
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: of the Year. And I really like what the Jacksonvie

214
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: Jaguars have done. When I wrote about this team last week,

215
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: I talked about their defense and how they built the

216
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: right way, and really they build the right way because

217
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: they really invested in the defensive line. Calais Campbell coming

218
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: over as a big money free agent, Malik Jackson coming

219
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: over as a big money free agent. But then the

220
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: draft picks that they've invested and they grew. Dante foul

221
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: had been the first round pick a few years ago,

222
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Yannick and Gokway being a guy that is also a

223
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: draft pick. But the final piece of the puzzle mansell

224
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: Darius coming over. So now you get a run stuffer

225
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: who also has been a two time Pro bowler because

226
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: he's been a prolific sack artist on the inside, they

227
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: can win with four, and in this league, if you

228
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: can win with your front four getting pressure on the

229
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and you're back in. Locking it down makes it

230
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: easy for everyone because someone is going to get one

231
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: on one matchups and we're going to see Clay's Campbell

232
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: win those one on one matchups based on his hands

233
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: in his heart. As you illustrate it, it's a great point.

234
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: I think this this defensive line you put up there

235
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: with anybody in the league, and they got a lot

236
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: of depth to roll guys through. Darius was a big

237
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: time edition. Are you're a deal? Rapid fire, rapid fire,

238
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: Let's get it. Let's go through these games here. One

239
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: of us will give you a player to watch in

240
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: this football game, and then we'll both pick a winner.

241
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Let's start off here, Packers Bears, NFC North matchup. My

242
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: player to watching a lot of people looking at the

243
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Packers and Brett Huntling see what he can do. Mitchell

244
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: Trabinski to me, is the player to watch in this

245
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: foot ball game. I think as we come down the

246
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: second half of the season, they played kind of training

247
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: wheels early on for him, running the ball, run the ball,

248
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: run the ball screen. I think you're gonna see them

249
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: open the offense up a little bit. You're gonna see

250
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinski throw the ball thirty plus times, and several

251
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: of these games coming down the stretch, they're gonna find

252
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: out what they have in their rookie signal color. I

253
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: think he's one to watch in this ball game, but

254
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: I think he absolutely should be one to watch. And

255
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: if they would take a page from some of the

256
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: other teams that have had success with their young quarterbacks,

257
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: I think they need to mix in some of the

258
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: things that he was able to do successfully at North Carolina,

259
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: some of the spread games, some of the quick rhythm

260
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: stuff that he really executed flawlessly at North Carolina. I

261
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: think they need to put in the mix. Also take

262
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: advantage of his athleticism. I would like to see them

263
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: use to re coen Jordan Howard some zone read stuff,

264
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: find a way to get him active on the move.

265
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: Four or five runs would be enough to change the

266
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: way the defense has to approached him. If they do that,

267
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: I think they can be successful in this game. I'm

268
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: going with the Bears. I thought I was gonna be

269
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: on a solo mission. I'm going with the Bears. Packers

270
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: have issues outside the quarterback. I think we saw that

271
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the other night. All Right, Brown's at Lions. Who's the

272
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: player to watch the number one overall pick. Myles Garrett

273
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: is the player to watch and the reason he used

274
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: the player to watch. Matthew Stafford was dealing on Monday night,

275
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: outstanding in the pocket. He was very comfortable they couldn't

276
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: get him off his spot. Miles Garrett is the one

277
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: guy for the Browns who can do that. We've seen

278
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: him show flashes of dominance already in his young career.

279
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: If he's able to get home win with some of

280
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: that speed, quickness and athleticism, he can change the way

281
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has to play in the pocket. And because

282
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: the Lions don't have a credible running game, this is

283
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: set up for Miles Garrett to have a big day

284
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: off the edge. All right, does Myles Garrett get a

285
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: sack in this game too? It gets two sacks? The

286
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: Browns get a win in this game? No, no, No,

287
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: still more Saxon wins. Yeah. I'm gonna go with Detroit

288
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: as well. I look, I think the Browns continue on

289
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: their winless ways here. Let's get going Steelers Colts my

290
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: player to watch in this game. Let's go with t J.

291
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Watt and what he brings to the table for this

292
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Steelers team. I love you. Watch why I mean to me,

293
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: people talk about the effort, they talk about obviously the

294
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: family name. To me, I look at somebody that plays

295
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: with outstanding tech nique. We talked about the hands of

296
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell. See the same thing from t J. Watt

297
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: also has that athletics is gonna be able to drop

298
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: off into coverage. But going up against a Colt's offensive line,

299
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: that's not very good. Let's be honest here, I think

300
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: t J. Watt's chance to have a big game. Yeah,

301
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: I think t J. Watt does have a big game.

302
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh has a big game. I saw this

303
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: on Twitter today. They have zero defensive starters that are

304
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: still started holds on the team this year. The colst

305
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: that is unable. That's unbelievable. Like even when you change over,

306
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: like to have none, no, no carry over, there's no

307
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: way you can win. Let's go with Pittsburgh. Yeah, I

308
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh as well. We're on the same page there.

309
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next one. Here, we've got

310
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: the Saints and the Bills player to watch me. We're

311
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: getting a lot of rookie love here. You've got another

312
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: a lot of rookie love. I'm gonna go with another

313
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: running back and that vaunted rookie class. Let's go at

314
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar. And the reason albu Camara deserves to be

315
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: in the conversation is he's terrific. He is a natural hybrid.

316
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: We're seeing this guy tally up scrimmage yours. He is

317
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: outstanding out the backfield as here, We're gonna see him

318
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: gets the bucks nice and easy. We talked about him

319
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: coming out being a dynamic player. It's just like a

320
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: simple slip screen gets out there, makes someone miss, gets

321
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: down the boundary, has blockers in front. He just has

322
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: a way about him that kind of reminded me of

323
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: a young Jamal Charles when he was coming out. I

324
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: think Saints fans are beginning to see that. And it's

325
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: not just him, it's also mark Ingram. It's just a

326
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: combination of the two. Being able to make plays in

327
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: and out of the backfield. Once again, out of the backfield,

328
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: we see him one on one. This is a nightmare

329
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: matchup for any linebacker. It's gonna run when the option

330
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: breaks out, that ball, storing on time, catches it takes

331
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: it down the boundary. His ability to affect the game

332
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: as a hybrid has given the Saints offense another dimension.

333
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: I love the combination of him and mark ingram I

334
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: like this and because of that, I am going with

335
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: the Saints in this game. You're going with to New

336
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints like that stuff. That's the popular choice. I'm

337
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Buffalo Bills because my my partner here,

338
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, has been selling me on these McDermott led

339
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: Bills and how hard that lay there at home. I

340
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: like Buffalo to win that one. Alright, Jets at Bucks,

341
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: let's make it sound better than it is. I'm gonna

342
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: go player to watch Robbie Anderson for the Jets. This

343
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: is a guy talked about in the preseason a couple

344
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: of years ago how he just lit it up, and

345
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: now he's been giving an opportunity. He's getting a lot

346
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: of playtime and he's making some things happen down the field.

347
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Very athletic, very acrobatic when the ball is up in

348
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: the air. Buck He's a slight frame, but he's got

349
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: some juice, some explosiveness, and he's a tough kid. I

350
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: like Robbie Anderson. I think he's got a chance to

351
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: have a good game in this one. More Pressley. I

352
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: like the way that Jets are playing offense, defense, special

353
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: teams is really coming together. I think Ty Bowls is

354
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: done a great job of keeping his team together. The

355
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: young guys have given him. Jews, Robbie Anderson and at

356
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Care you talk about Anderson, Jermaine Curse, Josh

357
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: McCown taking advantage of the situation and then being to

358
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: run a ball. I think it's too much for the Bucks.

359
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: The Bucks are in disarray. I'm going to Jets. Yeah. Look,

360
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: the Jets have been a much better football team than

361
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: I gave him credit for coming into the season, and

362
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: I think they're catching the Buccaneers at the perfect time.

363
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston not playing use the word of mass. I

364
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: can't argue with you. There, I'm with you. I think

365
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: the Jets end up getting to win. All right, Let's

366
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: let's keep this train rolling here. Vikings Redskins. Look, we

367
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: referenced the Vikings earlier being a team that is built

368
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: the right way, and part of the reason they built

369
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: the right way they have so much depth and talent.

370
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon is a player that I'm watching in this

371
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: game because he finally got an opportunity to be a

372
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: big factor in the run game, and in the past

373
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: game we saw him go over a hundred scrimmag yards.

374
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: He is beginning to add a little more juice to

375
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: the offense. He's not quite Dalvin Cook, but he can

376
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: do some Dalvin Cook like things. They're beginning to take

377
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: advantage of him in this offense. Look for them to

378
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: feature him in the passing game because he has the

379
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: ability to win to one on one matchups, also slip

380
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: draws misdirections. He can make plays. Look for him to

381
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: have another hundred plus scrimmage right game. All r who

382
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: are you liking this one? I'm going in Minnesota. I

383
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: think the Vikings are well positioned to be able to

384
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: win and control their own destiny in the NFC North.

385
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: I like their defense. I think they overwhelmed the Washington Ridskins.

386
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: Washing Redskins shocked me last week and they went on

387
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: the road minus six starters, including three offensive linemen one

388
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: in Seattle. I think there's something about the mental and

389
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: physical toughness of this team. I think the Redskins get

390
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: this one done at home. They get to win Bengals

391
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: at Titans player to watch. Hey, let's stay on that

392
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: rookie thing. Corey Davis. Got to see a little bit

393
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: of him last week. Not a ton of production, but

394
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: you saw a back shoulder throw where he could use

395
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: that big body, nice little toe tap there on the sideline.

396
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: And I think with Corey Davis, as the season moves

397
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: along here, if the Titans are gonna make a push

398
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: and make a run at this thing, then he Corey

399
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Davis to be a big part of this offense. And

400
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: I think especially when you get down in the red zone,

401
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: he can use that big frame make some things happen.

402
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Corey Davis and what he

403
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: brings to the table. I mean, he's outstanding. He's already

404
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: giving them a lift they needed a number one receiver

405
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: on the outside. As he continues to get comfortable in

406
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: this offense and really returns to form, I think he

407
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: can be a huge factor for this offense. The Tennessee

408
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: Titans are playing well, but I think this is a

409
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: desperation game for the Cincinnati Bengals. I have the Bengals

410
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: going on the road and getting a big win, all right.

411
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: You like the Bengals, I like the Titans getting this

412
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: thing done at home. We're kind of splitting on some

413
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: of these games here. Let's keep it rolling. Texans at Rams.

414
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Player to watch? Who is it? Buck? DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre

415
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Hopkins is one of the best receivers in the League's

416
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of overshadowed, uh by some of the other guys,

417
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of times is due to

418
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: quarterback play. He lost his star quarterback in Deshaun Watson.

419
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: He's having to play with Tom Savage. And maybe we

420
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: will even see a t. J. Yates sighting. But it

421
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: doesn't matter when you look at what He's already a

422
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: competent in his young career. Over at the five thousand

423
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: receiving yards over three fifty catches, one of the best

424
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: in NFL history in terms of catching the ball, putting

425
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: the balls into paint. I love DeAndre Hopkins. I don't

426
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: love him enough though, to say that they're gonna beat

427
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: the Rams. You like the Rams. I like the Rams

428
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: as well. I think the Rams playing good football right now. Offensively,

429
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: they get all the attention. This this team defensively is

430
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: is pretty darn good. Under wait Phillips right, Foul foul Boys,

431
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: foul Boys at cow Cowboys. The Cowboys at the Falcons.

432
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: One team. Cowboys rolling the Falcons have been reeling. Uh

433
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: player to watching this one. Matt Ryan for me, you

434
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: gotta get find a way to get this football team

435
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: back on track. Your offensive coordinator has been catching a

436
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: lot of grief. I haven't been able to finish drives.

437
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna put this on the quarterback right now.

438
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: You and Julio Jones happen on the same page. You

439
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: see Matt mess up one play, Julio mess up another. Right,

440
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: they gotta make it right and it's on Matt riding

441
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: to get it done. Matt Ryan needs to have a

442
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: big game if they're gonna get this done at home

443
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: against the Cowboy team that played pretty darn well last week. Yeah,

444
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't think this is the week they get back

445
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: on track. And part of the reason they don't get

446
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: back on track is because the Cowboys have found and

447
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: rediscovered the recipe that made them successful a season ago.

448
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: They're running the ball will with Ezekie Elliott. Dak Prescott

449
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: has continued to play like a star, but defensively they're

450
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: beginning to really put it in. David Irving and David Marcus,

451
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: Lawrence Marcus Lawrence Taco, and they're beginning to get pressure

452
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: on the passer. They're doing a great job playing that

453
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: Tampa two scheme, keeping the ball in front, and whenever

454
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: you have Sean Lee back, that defense is different. The

455
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys look like they're kind of ready to make

456
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: or run with it without Zeke elliott I got the

457
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys going in the road. Gett a dub. All right,

458
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that one. I think the Cowboys

459
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: end up getting this done as well. I just can't

460
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: buy into the Falcons with what we've seen lately. All Right,

461
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: this is the game we're all waiting for here. I've

462
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: been waiting for this one, potentially the battle for the

463
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: number one pick. The Giants go on the road to

464
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: take on the forty Niners. Play here to watch here

465
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Buck Orleans Dark, Orleans Dark, while the running back for

466
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: the New York Joanns is the player to watch because

467
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: we have seen and too often we've seen the New

468
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: York Johns have to relize Solio Eli Manning. I believe

469
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: if they can balance out this offense, run the ball successfully,

470
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: they will have a chance to get a win against

471
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: the forty nine is dark wise ability to run between

472
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: the tackles. Give them a little punch in the run

473
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: game should open up some opportunities from them to hit

474
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and sting the Shepherd in the past game.

475
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: I am saying that the Giants get a win. They

476
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: must need to win over Yeah, and I'm gonna say no.

477
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the San Francisco forty nine is get

478
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: their first one of the year. This matchup perfect for them.

479
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: They find a way to get it done. Kyle Shanahan,

480
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: congratulations on your first win as a head early just

481
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: put it out, yeah, early early, congrats. All right, Patriots

482
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Broncos Sunday night game would have been a great game

483
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: and just about any other year right now. The Broncos

484
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: are real and though player to watch in this game,

485
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna chet a little. I'm gonna go players. I'm

486
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna go with this offensive line for the dimn Broncos

487
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: collectively as a group, they have struggle buck especially in

488
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: past protection. I don't care who's playing quarterback for this team,

489
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been good at the comeback position. I

490
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: don't want to mask that, but getting chucked back into

491
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback no anchor across the line pockets are shrinking.

492
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: They have to play better and if they can establish

493
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: the run, that would be huge in this ball game

494
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Everything points toward the Patriots in this game.

495
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if the Broncos want to keep it competitive,

496
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: they've got to play good upfront. They have to play

497
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: better upfront. Whenever you're playing with a cast of carricks

498
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, Trevor Simeon brock Ostwalder, you need

499
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: to make it easier on them, lessen the load on

500
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: their shoulders to carry this offense. It starts with the

501
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: office a lot. They have to be able to run

502
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: the ball at the pages. I don't think they will

503
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball, and I don't know

504
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: if the quarterback brock Ostwalder is good enough to connect

505
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: already beat the Patriots though Bucky's before here we go,

506
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: let's go to Patriots. I'm going with the Patriots there.

507
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: I can't make that case. I think the Patriots end

508
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: up getting done. All right, we got one game left here,

509
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins Panthers, the Monday night game game player to watch.

510
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna stay with the rookie thing. Let's go with

511
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey being the player to watch in this game.

512
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: I think there was a blessing in disguise that happened

513
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: for the Panthers last weekend. When Jonathan Stewart fumbled twice,

514
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: it forced him out of the game. They put Christian

515
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: McCaffrey in and he was able to play as a regular,

516
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: full time running back. And what we saw we saw

517
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: more production. Fifteen carries, six six rushing yards. We saw

518
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: him be active in the passing game. We know that

519
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: he's a matchup nightmare when he's in space, but you

520
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: have to get him on tracked as a runner by

521
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: moving him to the front line and maybe getting him

522
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: more carries on a down and down our basis, I

523
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: think he can be an effective weapon for them. I'm

524
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: looking for him to have a big game and I'm

525
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: looking for the Panthers to get a win. They have

526
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: more touches for Christian McAffrey, I think is a good thing.

527
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: I agree with you like the Panthers to get this

528
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: done at home against the Miami Dolphins. Sorry, if you

529
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: want to see the whole cast of podcasts get involved

530
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: in picking games, we got a cool show. It's called

531
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: the NFL Pick Them and you can see the times

532
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: right here, Buck, Saturday six eight was six three pm

533
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: eleven pm Sunday at six a m. Eastern time. Make

534
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: sure you check it all up. Yeah, we've got a

535
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: pretty fun show this week too. We've got some good

536
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: things with all the different podcast groups making some picks.

537
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: All right, Buck, We've got our are It's one of

538
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: our favorite segments here. It's time now for Push Past

539
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: the Expected, presented by Visa. We need to talk to

540
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: some guys. You need to step up here in week

541
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: number ten. Why don't you start us off? Here we go.

542
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go up to Buffalo and their new acquisition,

543
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin needs to step up for the Buffalo Bills.

544
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: This is a team that made this move because they

545
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: needed a true number one receiver on the outside, big

546
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: buddy playmakers, someone that can expand the strike zone for

547
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. Maybe they can encourage Tyrod Taylor to make

548
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: more attempts at tight window throws. He can do it.

549
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: He can put the ball in the pane. I don't

550
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: like his ability to separate, but I do love the

551
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: way that he wins those fifty fifty balls. He needs

552
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: to win a couple to expand and open up this

553
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills offense. Well, I like that one. I'm gonna

554
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: go though with again. I come back to the Bills.

555
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what happen to you, Buck, you were

556
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: all about the Bills and jumped off like the build.

557
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm going on Tyrod Taylor because they're gonna find a

558
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: way to get this done this week. He's got to

559
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: play well, not only pushing the ball vertically with his

560
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: arm taking care of the football. I think let's let's

561
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: get those legs going a little bit. Let's let Tyrod

562
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: run a little bit this week. I think this is

563
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: a big opportunity for him. I picked the Bills to win,

564
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: and I think Tyrod Taylor is gonna be the one

565
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: who steps up. He needs to step up. They need

566
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: to have this connection on the outside. In the past

567
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: game running game, they've been pretty solid. Shade McCoy continues

568
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: to be one of the more feared runners in the game.

569
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Just looking for more complimentary production from the passing game.

570
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: All right, who we got next? Jordan Howard from the

571
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Earlier we talked about Mr Drabinski needing to

572
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: have a big game. He's the player to watch in

573
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: that game with Jordan Howard can make life easy for

574
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: the Rocky quarterback by doing what he does running the ball,

575
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: effectively catching the ball when he has the opportunities, particularly

576
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: in late game situations. If he can run it and

577
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 1: catch it, I think he can be effective guy. He

578
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: needs to be a guy that gets over a hundred

579
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: plus scrimmage jars because the Bears are depending on him

580
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: and to Read Cohen to be their primary playmaker to

581
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: support day quarterback, and we both like them getting that done,

582
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: all right. A J. Green for me is next on

583
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: the list. One catch for six yards and really a

584
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: nice takedown though a rare naked choke and some little

585
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: rabbit bunches there against Jalen Ramsey. You could tell he

586
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: definitely lost his cool in that ballgame. Jalen Ramsey had

587
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: some more to say after the fact too, and week

588
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff. So this is a big

589
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: week for a J. Green to step his game up

590
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: have a nice bounce back. I think Green eventually we

591
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: bounced bad like that is out of character for him

592
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: to add like that. But sometimes as the as the

593
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: old line, you get challenged by the young cub. He

594
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a lit Well, I think he will respond better.

595
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Let's look for him to be Simba this week. Nice

596
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Lion king reference. All right, that was pushed past the expected,

597
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: presented by Visa. One of the cool things that they're

598
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: doing on NFL dot com this year is is a

599
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,280

600

Speaker 1: with some guys we're gonna have to study as we

Speaker 1: lead towards the NFL Draft. Buck and Sweek is one

605
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: of my favorite reads that we've had because not only

Speaker 1: what I'm told. I one of those guys you know,

615
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: just like to try different things, you know, experienced life

616
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: to the fullest. And I've got some great friends, great

617
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: family that's raised me, you know, to be able to

618
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: experience those things and to go out there and just

619
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: get my hands dirty and see what it takes me.

620
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: And so you obviously are a bit of a renaissance man.

621
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: And obviously in Northwestern you guys have a culture where

622
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of different dudes in there. How

623
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: does that play being so eclectic, so diverse in that

624
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: locker room? Man, man, Man, there are some really brilliant

625
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: young men in this room. I mean, you can do

626
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: a story on east and every one of them. I'm

627
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: sure you can find some interesting things. Uh, that's kind

628
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: of the culture here. You know, we're not only are

629
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: we great athletes ready to compete, you know, great students, um.

630
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: But there's really some some great young men who are

631
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: who are very talented and a lot of different facets

632
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: and they inspired me and just in all aspects of

633
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: my life. I really couldn't imagine being anywhere else. I

634
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: think it's really really unique group of guys and I'm

635
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: really happy to be here in Northwestern. When we talk

636
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: about just being eclectic in a lot of different interests,

637
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: you paint you've been a vocalist in a band, which

638
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that in a minute. But to me,

639
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: I want to talk about you as a football player first,

640
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: because when I watch you on tape, I see a

641
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: guy that's it's aggressive, likes to get used, we're getting

642
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: dirty down there in the box, and is a really

643
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: really sure tackler. But then they also use you as

644
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: a high safety and I see you float over the

645
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: top and make plays on the football. But how would

646
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: you describe your your play as a football player? I say,

647
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: you know, dynamic, you know, like you said, I like

648
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: to be all over the field. Um, not the I'm

649
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: not sixty three to forty, but I'll come down and

650
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: hit you like I am. You know. Um, I like

651
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: to fly around up top. I have great speed, you know,

652
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm aggressive. I also have, you know, the hips and

653
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: capabilities to to cover across the field. So I mean

654
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: that's just that's what it is. That's what it comes

655
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: down for for me, man, Just being able to go

656
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: out there and help wherever it need be for my

657
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: team and just doing whatever I can to get that

658
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: win and just going out there with everything I have.

659
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Every Saturday, DJ talks about your versatility as a player.

660
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: One of the things that really resonates in rooms, your

661
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: high aptitude, your football like you your ability to make

662
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: checks and adjustments. How much do you love having so

663
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: much responsibility in the back end of being able to

664
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: be the traffic cop man. It's awesome, It's awesome. I mean,

665
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: we got I think part of that just comes down

666
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: to just the culture here. We got a guy like

667
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: coach Hank witz Man, He's a he's a mastermind on

668
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and he puts a

669
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: good amount on our place. And it's it's really it's

670
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: really a challenge. But who doesn't love a great challenge.

671
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm challenged here already as it is playing

672
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, big and football academically, and just step into

673
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: that film room. You know, guys like Coach Browning and

674
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: Coach Hank who are very, very thorough. Um, it's really challenging.

675
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: Me and Kyle Carroll like to balance ideas off each

676
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: other's has and just knowing that, you know, when it

677
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: comes down to being on that defense and making the

678
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: right check to allow us to be successful. It's it's

679
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: really cool. We love the challenge. We embraced it every Saturday. Yeah,

680
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: I want to go back to before you got to Northwestern,

681
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: because I had a chance last year in the run

682
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: up to the draft to get to know a couple

683
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: of these guys and Jake Butt and then lf Line

684
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: who's playing a great job at center for the for

685
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Two guys you grew up with, right so

686
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: high school teammates with these two fellows. I mean, shoon,

687
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: I've been knowing those boys since the young Tater top

688
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: days and talking about seven years old, got a picture

689
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: not really know what we're doing, but just having a blast.

690
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: Um played against Jake in the championship game and little

691
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: league had a little comeback win against him. I'm sure

692
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: he still remembers that was pitching. Was he pitching? It was?

693
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: He was a tight end. He was still playing tight

694
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: end back then. I was. I actually played with Talco Charlton.

695
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: He was on the literal League team that beat Jake's team.

696
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys know about him. Dallas Um. I

697
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: also grew up with him and then finally got to

698
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: high school and got to combine me, Jake and pal

699
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: Flines talents together. We're out there. We can have it

700
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: sad story. We went eight into my junior year in

701
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the regular season, then go to the playoffs. I don't know.

702
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: That's a travesty. And I asked around about that. I

703
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: don't know how that happened. We had to raise some

704
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: havoc and the playoffs, but it's all good. It's all good.

705
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: You know. They had had a lot of memories with

706
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: those guys. Man. It's funny because in reading through your story,

707
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: not only that, but uh, at Scouts, we always look

708
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: for bloodlines, your legacy and so the fact that Christian

709
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Koreya is your dad's second cousin, have you taken anything

710
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: from that? Does that inspire you too maybe want to

711
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: reach some of the heights that he was able to

712
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: reach doing his NFL career. I mean, yeah, it's it's

713
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: always great to have that that legacy in that history

714
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: just behind it definitely doesn't hurt. And just saying, uh,

715
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: the Nigerian pride and my dad's Nigerian obviously Christian Donald

716
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: on Nigeren and just having pride and knowing what that

717
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: means to me and having a great come before me. Um.

718
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: We like to say Nigerian's are taking over. I think

719
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: the takeover is is still happening. It's happening for a

720
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: while now, but I'm trying to continue that Nigerian takeover.

721
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's pretty awesome and just having those

722
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: connections to two great NFL players like him. All Right,

723
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm gonna put Bucky on the

724
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: spot here because I've had a chance to listen to

725
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: this music you're about to hear here, and I see

726
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: this is something that Go does a little bit on

727
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: the side. He's got a former teammate's got a band,

728
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: so he helps him out a little bit with some vocals.

729
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: So I think we have a little bit of your

730
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: music here. I'm gonna let it roll for a second.

731
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Bucky is an evalue. We're both NFL

732
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: scouts valuate skills on the mic a little bit. Let's

733
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: we let it rip a little bit. Let's take a

734
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: little listen to this. It's been a while since I

735
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: saw your face like a flame, my height. Describe inside

736
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: of this place. Five years all the county sick buck

737
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: end up something man. A few tears later, I try

738
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: and follow everything inside of me compressed in said. I'm

739
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: trying to break through of them through the Christian tendency. Wow,

740
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: give me your thoughts. If this is the voice. If

741
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: this is the voice, I'm gonna have to turn around.

742
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm have to turn around to turn around. I'm at this.

743
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: I have to see if I get your my squad.

744
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I like that. Who's

745
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: your like? I can ask you about who we compare

746
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: yourself to as a football player, and we get into

747
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: that in a second. But as a musician, who do

748
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: you compare yourself to a vocalist? Huh, that's hard. I

749
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: mean I listened to a lot of different music personally,

750
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of different kind of voice styles, a lot

751
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: of people. You know, tell me it's um, you were

752
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: like a sand Fa m Aussel if you guys have

753
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: heard of him, Um, Daniel Caesar. I say, I'm not

754
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: as good as them by any means, but I'll take

755
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: the comparisons for sure. That's pretty I mean, that's pretty cool.

756
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: That's pretty unique. I know. Uh, we're gonna love you

757
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: on the Rookie Show. When you have to do the

758
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: Rookie Show and they gonna love then what you're saying,

759
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna like that a lot. How about wait, yeah, no,

760
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be easy for you. How about as

761
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: a football player, though, if you had to compare yourself

762
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: for stylistically who you liked at the next level of

763
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: the NFL level, maybe some of you watch growing up

764
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: that you try and patting yourself after a little bit. Um, well,

765
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: I think you know, one of the easy answers is

766
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: the safety that I think almost every safety has been

767
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: influenced by, which is that read You know that that

768
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: was just a legendary kind of guy right there. Um,

769
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: I loved watching him growing up. Even now probably say,

770
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, oh Thomas, I think he's such an dynamic

771
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: football player. That man is really all over the field,

772
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: and like I said, not the biggest guy, but he'll

773
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: come down to lay that boom when he asked you too.

774
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: But that man, it's just flying around making plays all

775
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: over the place. And you know, guys like that, you know,

776
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: really elevated the game for safeties and continue to influence

777
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: guys like myself. I was around it for four years

778
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens, and you know, a lot of

779
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: people rave about him with the instincts. I think what

780
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: people didn't realize was how much study he did. You

781
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: see him just take off off the hash and you're like, man,

782
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: what does he seeing? What is he looking at? It's

783
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: something he's been studying all week long, and then it

784
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: ables him to pull trigger and go how much time

785
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: have you been spending the film room this year and

786
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: throughout your career? And how have you grown in that area? Man,

787
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: I've definitely grown a lot, a lot, a lot. I

788
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: mean in high school you're not really you know, taught

789
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: that side of the football. It's more so go out

790
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: there and play. And so coming to the college, you know,

791
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna be something similar and they're like,

792
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: wait a second, this is a whole another monster. Um.

793
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: Thankfully had you know, upper classmen like you know, Ibraheim Campbell,

794
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: who had had to share a few years with Travion Henry,

795
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: who are like, all right, bro, we know you're talented,

796
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: we know you we've got skills, but what about this

797
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: part of football? What about this aspect? And I was like, well,

798
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: I guess you're all right. So, man, the film room

799
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: is becoming just become one of the biggest, biggest parts

800
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: in the biggest growth areas for me in terms of

801
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, elevating my game. Um yeah, you guys already

802
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: know a lot of people will know, but a lot

803
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: of that work is not even done on the practice field.

804
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: It's done and the film it was done in your

805
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: room before you go to sleep, you know, with the

806
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: iPad hitting up thundercloud, just sneaking in any time you

807
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: can to just try to get that one tendency Coach

808
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: Brown really raised about, you know, watching film, always stressing

809
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: that there's always something you can find, whether it's you know,

810
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: Friday night before even the Saturday game, it's always something

811
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna find on that film. So I've had some

812
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, great teachers come before me and really continue

813
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: to row and developed me in terms of that that film.

814
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: But that's one of the biggest aspects that you learn

815
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: and understand that really takes to the next level. So

816
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: it's been great. Now as former scouts, we love to

817
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of dig into the backstory because we both believe

818
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: that it's the person, it's the character that really makes

819
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: a demand that has success on and off the field.

820
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: So we have a thing where we call the three ages.

821
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: So we're gonna ask you your greatest highlight. You get

822
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: his hardship and who is your hero. So if I

823
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: had to ask you, what has been your greatest highlight

824
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: throughout your life? Greatest highlight man Man man Man, I

825
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: said this perspective, you know, the perspective that I've tried

826
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: to carry that my parents who are still in me. Um.

827
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: I think, no matter where you are in life, if

828
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: your perspective is wrong, you know you're not gonna be happy.

829
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be enjoying it, You're not gonna be

830
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: seeing it as fullest. So this understanding, you know, I'm blessed.

831
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm here at Northwest University, Okay, in the

832
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: classroom with some of the smartest people in the world

833
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: literally literally some of the smart people in the world.

834
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: And I'm also playing in the Big Ten against the

835
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: greatest athletes in the world. And I'm in the locker

836
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: room with some of the most brilliant student athletes. UM So,

837
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: really just getting to the point where I'm at right now,

838
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously working to get to a even

839
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: brighter spot, working to be an NFL and put myself

840
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: in the best spot I can, but also just being

841
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: mindful of just how blessed I am and really taking

842
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: that consideration you know, just thinking the Lord that this

843
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: is where I am and and I'm able to experience

844
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: this life the best way I can. Definitely definitely probably

845
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: where I'm at cospected that's a very thoughtful answer. How

846
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: about how about your hardship? What's a hardship you've had

847
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: to overcome in life? Could be on the field, could

848
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: be off the field hardship. Let's think. Well, I say,

849
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: you know, one thing that was that was pretty hard

850
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: for me was just um, around junior high middle school,

851
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: my dad got diagnosed with cancer diagne from leukemia. And

852
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: it kind of around that time. You don't even realize

853
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: that's how you know, fatal that that cancer can be.

854
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, you're see you're at a young age. But

855
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 1: you know I had to bounce around to different friends house,

856
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: which I'm extremely thankful for their parents letting me in

857
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: the door, and not seeing my parents for days or

858
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: weeks um, which is really tough. You know, think the Lord,

859
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: my dad is cancer free. Now, you know, he's he's

860
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: free of cancer and he's stronger than ever. You know,

861
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: just the sacrifices my mom made just trying to take

862
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: care of the both of us, you know, being going

863
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: to Cleveland for a few days weeks while she left us,

864
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, with other people. So that was really tough

865
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: and just kind of looking back at it now, you know,

866
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: it was tough in the situation, but you know, all

867
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: along just saying how much they sacrifice and just how

868
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: strong they were. Um, honestly, it's made them, made them

869
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: my heroes. Honestly didn't to answer the next question, it's

870
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: really you change your perspective on them. You don't really

871
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: see your parents in that light at a young age

872
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: or like just your protectors, they take care of you, whatever, whatever,

873
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: But things like that happen, you're like, Okay, your parents

874
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: are really people. They're really human as they really you know,

875
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: have their own struggles and things they go through, and

876
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: just saying how they overcame all of that really speaks

877
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: volumes to me and also just influences how I, you know,

878
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: view myself in the world and just that perspective that

879
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: I have I carried myself with. It's uh, that's a

880
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: great answer. Hey, we are so excited and happy for

00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: to think about bringing and adding that kind of person

918
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: to your locker room. It's something that I think every

919
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: evaluating team building we won't because I think he enhanceds

920
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: the value not only of the character of the squad.

921
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: He also brings some skills to yeah, some skills, and

922
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: I like the energy. We always talking about bringing energy

923
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: into your building. I think that's somebody that's definitely gonna

924
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: do that. All right, let's let's jump into these college

925
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: picks here. Last week, this is a week where we

926
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: all want seven and four. I thought I had a

927
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: terrible week, but I think I might have been the

928
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: only one to get the two pointer, or I was

929
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: one of the few guys get the two pointers. So

930
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: that kept me as at seven and four um, and

931
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: it was not a h did not feel good about

932
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: my my week. Overall, Buck, the overall standings, I think

933
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: we're still the same. It doesn't really change. It's Kent Sully,

934
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: uh Me and you in the third and fourth place here,

935
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: So we got some some work to do to catch up.

936
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: But let's let's try and get it done this week.

937
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: You're ready to roll, ye, ye, all right, let's are

938
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: with the two point game. Notre Dame at Miami. Uh Buck,

939
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: this is uh man, this is a It's kind of

940
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: a toss up game here. I could go either way.

941
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: What do you like? I'm going Notre Dame. I think

942
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's physicality and their toughness, the ability to grind

943
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: it out, there's a little different than what Miami has

944
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: seen an experience. I know they had a tough game

945
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: with Georgia Stack that they went at the end. Notre

946
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: Dame is a different animal in their quarterback Brandon wood Bush.

947
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Typically mobile quarterbacks have always given Miami trouble. Let's have

948
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: have to get a recipe fit this well. I like

949
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: Miami's front seven. I like all the athletes they have,

950
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: and I like to have a lot of depth that

951
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: many ds rolls some dudes through there. So hopefully they

952
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: stay fresh against this Notre Dame attack, and I think

953
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: get juiced up a little bit. This is a big

954
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: game down there in Miami. You think game days down there,

955
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: so they'll be all fired up. I think they get

956
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: just enough offense to get it done. I like to

957
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: you to get this done slowly picked Miami as well.

958
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: Kent was with you on Notre Dame, so we're split

959
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: even even their uh two point game of the week,

960
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: all right, Georgia at Auburn, this is a good one.

961
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: This is a great week of games. Man, who you

962
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: like games? I'm gonna go with Georgia. Uh just Kirby's

963
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: Moore and their crew. They really have a go ahead

964
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to look at some tape last night, and I

965
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: like the way they're playing on defense. I know this

966
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: is kind of a trap game, is a sleepy game

967
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: because it's Auburn Georgia goes to Auburn and they take

968
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: care of this. Jordan Hair is not an easy place

969
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: to play. They're gonna be fired up. I'm going with

970
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: the home team on here. I think Georgia, like they

971
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: beat Notre Dame a little bit earlier in the year.

972
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know Notre Dame was playing as well then

973
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: as they are now. And I look at the rest

974
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: of the Georgie had really played anybody. This is on

975
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: the road against a good football team that has a

976
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: good defensive front that can stop the run, force your

977
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: young quarterback to throw the ball. I like Auburn to

978
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: get this done. Man me and Sully on the same page.

979
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: He likes Auburn. Kent is with you once again on Georgia.

980
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: This game. I'm gonna be going to TCU Oklahoma uh

981
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: down there in uh in Norman. I'm looking forward to.

982
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: I want to go down there and see Baker Mayfield live.

983
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: Get a chance to do that. But who do you

984
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: like in this game. I'm gonna go with tc U

985
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: uh tc US defense. Of all the teams in the

986
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: Big twelve, I think TCU is the only one that

987
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: has one that actually has a defense, And I think

988
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: that could be the difference. I know Mayfield shredded Oklahoma

989
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: State in Oklahoma State had been playing pretty good defense

990
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: prior today game. I think he's a little something different

991
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: about TCU also coming off that emotional win and Bedlham.

992
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: Can they bring it back again? I don't think so.

993
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: I think this is a big game for TCU. They

994
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: get a dub. By the way, Baker Mayfield, do you

995
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: know how many true road games, not neutral site, but

996
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: a road games he's lost since he took over started

997
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Probably done zero player. He's a big time player.

998
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: So well, I look at home. I like Oklahoma in

999
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: this game. Maybe not maybe not gonna get sixty, but

1000
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: I think if they can get thirty five to forty,

1001
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: I think they'll be all right. And I think they

1002
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: will get that done. Man, this is me and still

1003
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: against you and Kent. We both like Oklahoma. You and

1004
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: Kent takeing TCU on the road Michigan State at Ohio State.

1005
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: Hit the brakes, are you? Oh? Are you gonna change

1006
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: your pen to brakes? Hit the brakes? He's gonna change

1007
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: his pick. I just had an epiphany. All right, what

1008
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: do you got? I just had an epiphany. I don't know.

1009
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: Some just came into my hand, gonna switch from Ohio

1010
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: State to Pends. We all have Ohio State on the paper,

1011
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: but you're going I'm going to Michigan State. I'm gonna

1012
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: go to Sparty. I want to go Sparty, so different,

1013
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: Go Green, Look at you. That's a bold move, Green,

1014
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: that's a bold move. All right, I'm changing your pick

1015
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: to Michigan State. Here we down, the rest of us

1016
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: are going with Ohio State because we're of the same mind.

1017
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: Because all you guys all love ja. You just giving

1018
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: one away, but I love j giving away. I feel

1019
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: like I'm cherry picking right now, like I feel I

1020
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: feel like I should apologize Jars. I'd even go back

1021
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: on defense. Down here, throw it down. I just made

1022
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: a state. I'm ready, I'm ready, all right, bold, I

1023
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: like you going bold there, Alabama at Mississippi State. I

1024
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: so wanted to take Mississippi State here. I'm not. I'm not.

1025
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna gonna

1026
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: make that same mistake you just made it. We all

1027
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: like Alabama in this Mississippi State. Though Fitzgery can run

1028
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: around a little bit, make some things happen it's not

1029
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: gonna be enough. Yeah, they almost lost, they almost lost

1030
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: the U mask. I can't I want, I can't, I

1031
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: can't do it. I can't make the case. All right, Iowa, Wisconsin, Buck,

1032
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: Iowa coming off they just just hammered Ohio State. Now

1033
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: I gotta go on the road, and that's why they

1034
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: can't win. And he's space in between it and they

1035
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: can't get back to back. I think they took down

1036
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: the goal posts just too much. I'm gonna go with

1037
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: Bucky Badger. Wisconsin is going punished him, punish them, punish them.

1038

Speaker 1: So you've got Wisconsin, Sully's got Wisconsin, Kent Scott Wisconsin.

00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: battle tested, Bucky. Who has Wisconsin played? They haven't been

1043
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:31,800

00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: Iowa gets this done. And I just saw that Rick

Speaker 1: beat demand. I was not demand. Wisconsin ate the man either.

1048
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: One alright, let's go through the rest of these games

1053
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: I always State actually at home in that game, so

1054
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: I see what you're doing there. Florida State Clemson, nobody

1055
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: has the guts to do it. Huh have you seen Florida?

1056

1058
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: all going with Washington State. Utah is not an easy

1059
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: place to play, a place to go. I feel like

1060
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: Luke Falk has maybe figured it out if they keep

1061
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: him in the lineup, and if not, they'll do updowns

1062
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,959
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. Bonus game here because

1063
