1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the six DJ Bucky 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: back together on a Thursday as we head towards a 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: little up Thursday night football in a huge weekend buck 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: of college football action with a lot on the line, 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: some big games as well as it looks like some 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: weather games can be coming our way here in the NFL. 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: How you doing, man, Man, I'm great, But DJ, this 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: is the fun part of the season. When you talk 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: about the weather games. It reminds me of a kid 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: playing video games where you could set the weather and 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: you could play the video game and have your team 13 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: play in the snow. Because we never really see it 14 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: often in the National Football League, but this weekend we 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: might get a chance to see some snowy games. And 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. All Right, We're gonna we're gonna 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: get to uh some next gen stat numbers that that 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: we pulled that are going to lead some fascinating discussions 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: as well as looking at some quarterbacks could be under 20 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: pressure in the second half of the season. But I 21 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to leave you on 22 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: that thought. I want to go back to you on 23 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: that real quick coldest Do you remember your coldest weather 24 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: game you played in and what did you to come 25 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: back to cold? Okay, So the coldest game that I 26 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: played in was the a f C Championship game the 27 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. We played up in New England against the Patriots, 28 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: um DJ. It was one of those games where the 29 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: team said before the game, no sleeves, no sleeves, We're 30 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: gonna show him how tough we are, so nobody wears sleeves, 31 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: were bare armed or whatever. DJ. Now, as a returner, 32 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to have sleeves because you need to 33 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: have to skin the ball contact to take care of it. However, 34 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: the only thing that wearing no sleeves did. I was 35 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: distracted the entire first half. The only thing I wanted 36 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: to do was to get on the one bitch to 37 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: be by the blower or they have the code on. 38 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: So when I would have to take the jacket off 39 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: to go him to feel for defense to play don, 40 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: the only thing I can think about is like, man, 41 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't really know what happens on this play, but 42 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back to the sideline. So 43 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: to me, that is the coldest game that I've been 44 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: associated with. And I couldn't wait to get the halftime 45 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, you know what, I need to put 46 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: this turn the neck on. I need to put some 47 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: other layers on. I know we're supposed to be tough guys, 48 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm worried about the punch and over the 49 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: fashion in this in this game. I remember I remember 50 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: being at app State in the spring. We had a 51 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: big snowstorm and it was but it was the wind 52 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: that got you. Was freezing. And I had never I 53 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: had never played with gloves on as a quarterback growing 54 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: up in San Diego, California. But we're out there and 55 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: I had never thrown with a glove. But I'm like, 56 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: I don't I don't even care how I play today. 57 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: I just I'm putting these gloves on on my throwing 58 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: hand and we'll just see what happens. Man. Uh. And 59 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: it wasn't too bad. It was old Newman gloves. You 60 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: remember the Newman gloves. The young kids don't know about 61 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: the Newman gloves. Oh yeah, the big end gloves. They're 62 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: real thick and sticky. Oh I loved it. Those are 63 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: my favorite gloves, man. I wish they would bring them back. 64 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: I love doing gloves, so I don't know, because go ahead, 65 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: but I finished that one, finished that thought. Oh no, no, 66 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying like you're talking about the Newman gloves. 67 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: So I remember the winter Newman gloves which had the 68 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: the the warm cotton around the outside of the glow, 69 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: so when you stick your hand in, it was nice 70 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: and warm and toasty, but you still had to tegnified 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: nature of the glove. Now you couldn't really feel the ball, 72 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: but your hands were ward. It was out there like 73 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: like going out and catching admittance. But I felt good. 74 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: I felt better because my hands were war That's all 75 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: it mattered. That's all that matters at that point in time, 76 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, let's get into some next gent stats. 77 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: I like doing this periodically, finding some numbers and diving 78 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: into them see what we can learn. So we're gonna 79 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: start here with some pass rushers. Then we're gonna we'll 80 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: get to some white outs here and just a little bit. 81 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: We'll do that after we take a break in a 82 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: little while. But um, I want to look at three stats, 83 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: the first one being UH pressure percentage, So a minimum 84 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: of fifty rushes, but the pressure percentage of percentage of 85 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: your rushes where you're generating pressure, then after that pulled off, 86 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: the get off time which we always focus on how 87 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: quick can you get across the line of scrimmage, big time, 88 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: burst and get off, and then lastly just a raw 89 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: number of pressures. So I want to go through and 90 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: pull out some of these names see if anything surprises 91 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: you on these as we go through them one by one. 92 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: Hare Buck, but the top ten in terms of edge 93 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: rushers and we're looking at pressure percentage. We've got Dante 94 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Fowler justin Houston. Um, you've got Julian o'kara from the Lions. 95 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: You've got Baron Browning from the Broncos, Cam Thomas uh 96 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals, Miles Garrett no surprise, Channon ne 97 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: wol Suit with the Seahawks has been a big gift 98 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: for them, Saidarius Smith, having a phenomenal year, Trey Hendrickson, 99 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: and then Charles Amana who with the forty niners. Is 100 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: there any name on that list that jumps out to 101 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: you it means anything to you? Well, I don't know 102 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: if it's any names, but the thing that stands out 103 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: to me DJ the lack of first rounders that are 104 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: on that list. I know you mentioned Myles Garrett or whatever, 105 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: but I think it's one of those things where we 106 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: go back and we get into the spring and we're 107 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 1: talking about draftees. Uh, it appears that you can find 108 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: a credible threat off the edge without expanding the first 109 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: round pick. Miles Garrett is up there, but some of 110 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: the names you're talking about the guys that were drafted 111 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: me into late rounds. So to me, that's the first 112 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: thing that stands out. Um. I think the other thing 113 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 1: would be UM, some of those guys like Justin Houston. 114 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: The fact that Justin Houston is still able to generate 115 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: pressure at this stage of his career kind of confirms 116 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: to me that pass rushing is not just about athleticism. 117 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: It's about skill and technique. And when I think about 118 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: Justin Houston, because he's been around the game so long, 119 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: he is able to win people because he has all 120 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: the tricks of the trade. He understands how to win 121 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: with the classic textbook moves. He also has some impromptu 122 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: stuff that you'll throw at people. But when you play 123 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: the game a long time, you develop an expertise and 124 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: I do believe it is technique over talent in some 125 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: cases when it comes to these pass rushers. Yeah, it's 126 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: a great point you made right there. I'll give you 127 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: a name here, Baron Browning. Um, this is a player. 128 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: If you think about the Broncos willingness to trade Bradley Chubb, 129 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't just the fact that you know, they we're 130 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: gonna be able to pay Bradley Chubb. I think they 131 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: felt pretty confident what they had here and a young player. 132 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: And Baron Browning who was kind of emerged from somebody 133 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: was off the ball to somebody's on the ball and 134 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: really show you some big time use and burst as 135 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: a pass rusher in the QB pressure percentage is outstanding 136 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: for him. We're gonna get to once we finish all 137 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: three of these stats, we'll get to the guys who 138 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: show up in all three categories. There's only two names 139 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: that show up in the top ten in all three categories, 140 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: so we'll get you that in a minute. Let's get 141 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: to the next one though. This is get Off. This 142 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: is fascinating to me because the leader and get Off 143 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: is Bryce Huff, who plays a very limited number of 144 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: snaps for the Jets um tend to twelve snaps the game, 145 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: and they basically you're gonna bring him in on pass, rushdowns, 146 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: third downs, and his job as you are a fastball 147 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: and we're gonna try and soften teams up, and all 148 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden they gotta deal with you wide nine 149 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: alignment and let him go. Uh, he's number one on 150 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: that list. Myles Garrett, Joey Bosa, Josh Sweat, Justin Houston 151 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: again shows up, Karl Lawson, Baron Browning again shows up, 152 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: Patrick Johnson. Uh is with the Eagles. It was a 153 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: later round pick, Robert Quinn and Trey Hendrickson. So you 154 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: see Justin Houston on there again, Buck, you see Myles 155 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: Garrett on there again. You see Baron Browning on there again. 156 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: You get some repeats, you know, you do get some repeats, 157 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: And Uh, it's funny because when we talk about that, 158 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: part of it is it's not only um your athleticism, 159 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: but it's snap count, anticipation, being able to understand it, 160 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: looking at the ball, squeeze from center, all of that stuff. 161 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that you bring up Huff from 162 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: the Jets because I'm looking at the Jets and I'm 163 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: looking at the way that they've been performing, and I 164 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: dug deeper into the stats, and the Jets are one 165 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: of the teams that are really using a four man 166 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: rush to generate all their pressure. They're actually worse when 167 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: they blitz then when they bring a standard traditional four 168 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: man pressure with maybe some twisting games and when you're 169 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: able to generate that. I kind of call them the 170 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: New York Sact Exchange Part two because it reminded me 171 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: of those eighties Jets teams that are able to just 172 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: dominate at the point of attack. And so everyone knows 173 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: the notable names when you're talking about Quinny Williams, um 174 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: you talked about Karl Lawson. But then you have a 175 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: guy like Huff that comes in to play a very 176 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: specific role. He is the relief pitcher. He has one pitch, 177 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: a fastball, but he sends you down in played because 178 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: the fastball is unheitable. It's a very unique trait to have, 179 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: but it's really creative in terms of the way the 180 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: Jets are folding him into the rotation to be able 181 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: to generate some pressure and get another guy in a 182 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: role as a key contributor. Yeah, and Karl loss on 183 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: another Jet that shows up on here as well. I 184 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: think a little bit of that as them just cutting 185 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: these guys loose to and letting them play that attack 186 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: in front. And you're right that remember that blow up 187 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: on the sideline with Quinnin Williams and his defensive coordinator. 188 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: He was upset saying, stop blitzing, we don't need to blitz. 189 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I think that was right before they won on that 190 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: street where they've won five or six games and they've 191 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: totally backed off on that said fine, we're gonna rush four. 192 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: Let you guys get home and do your thing. I 193 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: saw it uh in the forty or seeing them live 194 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: against the Chargers last Sunday night. Uh Fred Warner talked 195 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: about in the first half they were trying to dial 196 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: things up and they were getting beat on some things. 197 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: They got in the Lockerman halftime said stop, just let 198 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: just let our front rush and we'll play coverage behind it. 199 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: And that's where they found a lot of success by 200 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: doing that. I think it's sometimes you get a little 201 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: cute buck and then sometimes it's just you know what 202 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: we have. We have seven eight defensive line. We're gonna 203 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: keep them fresh, We're gonna rush four, and we're just 204 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: gonna keep coming after you with those four guys. You know, 205 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: it's funny DJ that you talked about that. I saw 206 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: a clip this week earlier from Robot Sala talking about 207 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: the defense and talking about how they play fast and 208 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: how look is very simple in terms of what they do. 209 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: They want their guys to just be able to see 210 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: it and go get it. And that is not only 211 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: the secondary in terms of playing a simple coverage where 212 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: they know exactly what they do. They see all the 213 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: different variables that you can face against their coverage. But 214 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: then up front, hey, we're not gonna complicated. You don't 215 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: have to remember which gap to get into on this 216 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: blitz and that blitz. Your job is the whip the 217 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: guy in front of you, get in your track stance 218 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: like a panther, and go get it. And they have 219 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: been successful. And it's one of those things you talked 220 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: about the Niners, and then we're talking about the Jets. 221 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: When you can rush for and cover with seven, it 222 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: allows you to have maximum coverage to eliminate the deep 223 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: balls in the big plays. But your guys up front 224 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: have to be able to hunt. And some of these 225 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: teams have guys that can and the other thing I 226 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: will say about these teams that are running this front, 227 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: I continue to see more beat gap wins. In other words, 228 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: if you're a tackle, everybody's gonna teach a tackle. Look, 229 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: if you want to set inside out, if you're gonna 230 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: get beat, get beat outside. It allows your quarterbacks some 231 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: room to climb up in the pocket, you can get 232 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: away from you you cannot get beat inside. And I 233 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: think what happens sometimes is when you line up so wide, 234 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: you getting those wide nines. Um, these tackles are so 235 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: worried about speed and how you're gonna be able to 236 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: cut that angle, and they're gonna beat you right off 237 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: the snap. You know they're rolling off the ball. A 238 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: lot of times you're seeing those tackles overset, which has 239 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: left left them susceptible to inside counters inside spins. But 240 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm seeing those those teams with those wide fronts actually 241 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: winning a lot on the inside of the tackle, which 242 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: is a home run. Um, that's the Kuda grab there. 243 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: If you're if you're an edge rusher, to be able 244 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: to win inside on tackle. Buck, that's that's instant winding. Oh. 245 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: I know somewhere the Washburn family is excited. I know 246 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: you're very tight with them. I know they are proponents 247 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: of the wide nine alignment. They want to come down here, 248 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: they want to tilt, they want to run around the 249 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: quarter like it's on the racetrack. But they've been very, 250 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: very successful doing that. And it's one of those things 251 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: that if you can line up in a wide nine, 252 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: the immediate pressure that you put on the tackle because 253 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: you almost have to run out of your stance to 254 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: get there on the speed rush. But then if the 255 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: past rusher has one or two other counters, either the 256 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: inside move or spin move, when you go up too 257 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: far and they whip up under, it is a problem. 258 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: And because they can stress you in terms of the 259 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: way they set the front on the inside. Whoever your 260 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: play media is the d tackle playing on the guard, 261 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: that tackle is on anto and one on one against 262 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: some of these athletes and technicians. We're seeing the pressure 263 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: percentages and all that. I mean, it's a win. And 264 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: because the way the game is where you have to 265 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: get the ball out uh quickly against pressure and you 266 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: can't necessarily blitz people, you need to have guys that 267 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: can win that so you can take away the short 268 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: stuff and give your rush enough time to get to 269 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Interesting thing talk about that forty or front. 270 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: You know who's number one against the run as well. 271 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: Forty Niners only given up eighty two point seven yards 272 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: per games. So I think that's just penetration. You're winning. 273 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: You're winning not only as a pass rush, but you're 274 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: able to win against the run. It's disruptive, especially in 275 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: kind of an outside zone league that it has predominantly 276 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: been that penetration kills that. So it's interesting how it's 277 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: worked on the way to the quarterback being able to 278 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: stop the run as well. Last category, Uh, this is 279 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: just raw quarterback pressures. Darius Smith, Chenna Duosa, we've seen 280 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: him on there twice, Myles Garrett. You get Brian Burns 281 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: showing up for the first time, Sam Hubbard, Denico Autry, 282 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, Josh Allen, Montez Sweat. You've got some ties 283 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: here at the end. That's Matt Judon Hendrickson. Karl Lawson 284 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: shows up for the second time as well. As you 285 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: think about a big defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence Big Dex 286 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: shows up in there. But only two guys made all 287 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: three lists, so they are in the top ten for 288 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: for defensive Lineman. When you think about get off pressure 289 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: percentage and then just the raw number of pressures my else, Garrett, 290 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. You know, I 291 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: think a lot of people would considering the best in 292 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: the business. He shows up on all three list. The 293 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: second name, Trey Hendrickson, uh is somebody I know you've 294 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: talked a lot about over the last few years on 295 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: our shows. But but Trey Hendrickson is the other one 296 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: that shows up on all three of those lists. But 297 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, I can't even really call him underrated, because 298 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: I think he has earned pro bowled distinction and honors. 299 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: But you're talking about someone who was I would say, 300 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: kind of lightly regarded when he was coming out of 301 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: New Orleans because he had that big years fund of 302 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: year there. You want to will that translate. He's done 303 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: nothing but really take it to the next level since 304 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: he joined the Cincinnati Bengals. He is a legit pass 305 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: rusher one a guy who has not only the technical 306 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: ability to win off the edge, but he is a 307 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: relentless pursuer of the quarterback in sometimes. You know, we 308 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,599 Speaker 1: talked about it. It's easy to put guys in that 309 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: category like a high motor guy, but his relentlessness, his 310 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: passion to pursue the quarterback, the way that he fails 311 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: to give up on downs, and how he wins on 312 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: second and third effort. This is an outstanding pass rusher 313 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: and he's one of the rare guys that has the 314 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: tools to win right out the gate, but also has 315 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: the competitive stamina to win if the down goes long 316 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: and long and longer. He's a outstanding player for the Bengals. 317 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: Interesting again, I don't think we can call him underrated anymore. 318 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: He's he's gotten some acclaim, he's gotten some attention, and 319 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: it's well deserved. Uh. Some of this is just a 320 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: complete pass rusher, a big time player there for the 321 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. So that was fun kind of digging some 322 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: of those next gent stats on pass rushers. We have 323 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: some next gent stats on receivers, including rookie receivers. We're 324 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: gonna get to a little bit later on in the show. 325 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break right now. When we come back, 326 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about five quarterbacks that have the most 327 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: at steak in the second half of the season. This 328 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: relates to an article that Bucky has on NFL dot com, 329 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: So we'll jump into that right after this. Buck. You 330 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: have a recent article on NFL dot com. Everybody can 331 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: find it. It's a fascinating topic where you're talking about 332 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks with the most at steak in the second half 333 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: of the season. So why don't you rip us through 334 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: these five and give us a little thumbnail sketch of 335 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: why you believe these guys are under the most pressure 336 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: here well, DJ down the second uh the second half 337 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: of the season, a lot of decisions are made on 338 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: what you want to do with the quarterback. Do you 339 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: want to keep him, do you want to move on, 340 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: do you want to extend them? And are these guys 341 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: franchise guys for the long term? And so some of 342 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: the names on the list are guys that we know about, 343 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: but then some of them may be surprises. And so 344 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: we'll started with number one. I have Aaron Rodgers on 345 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: the list and part of the reason why Aaron Rodgers 346 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: is on the list is because he's an older quarterback. 347 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: Even though he's making fifty million per thirty eight years old, 348 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: how much longer is he going to play? Particularly with 349 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: the Packers struggling like they are on the outside, does 350 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: he want to continue to play. Does he like what 351 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: he's doing? Does he believe this team still has a chance. 352 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: How this team fares down the stretch good determine if 353 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: number twelve continues to be a packer. Second on the list. 354 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: How about Mac Jones for the New England Patriots. I 355 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: know he's a former number one first round pick for 356 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots. There's a Pro Bowl the lad year, but 357 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: earlier in the season we were having serious conversations about 358 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: whether Matt Jones should be the starting quarterback or Bailey Zappy. 359 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: So I think where there's smoke, there's fire. There may 360 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: be some internal discussions in the Patriots building about is 361 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: this guy the long term answer. Let's see how he 362 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: performs to see if he can retain his job even 363 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: though he was highly coveted pick when they made him 364 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: a season ago. Geno Smith for the Seahawks, Kenny continue 365 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: to ride the magic carpet ride. He Senterella with the 366 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: clocks right midnight on his game. He's been terrific in 367 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: terms of completion percentage, passer rating. But canny continue to 368 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: play at this level, The Seahawks need to know because 369 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: how he fares could determine whether they jump into this 370 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: quarterback market in the draft, or whether they continue to 371 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: ride and hinge their hopes on Geno Smith. Jimmy Garoppolo 372 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: is another quarterback. Look, he was on the practice field, xil, 373 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: not even a part of the team. They lose Trade Lance. 374 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: He comes back and now the Santacisco forty Niners are 375 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: shaping up to be maybe one of the team him 376 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Debt is vying for a title in the NFC. He look, 377 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: he's sitting in the cab. First. If this team goes 378 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: on a run, are they willing to kind of pull 379 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: the plug on the trade Lands experiment and allows Jimmy 380 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: Garoppolo to be their quarterback always he said up to 381 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: go somewhere else a lot Ryan know how he performs. 382 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: And then the final guy down the stretches Jerry Golf 383 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions, former number one overall pick led 384 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: a team to a Super Bowl. He's in Detroit. He's 385 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: been solid by all accounts. The offense was explosive. Early's 386 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: kind of comeback to Earth of late. What do the 387 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: Lions want to do? Did they see him as a 388 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: long term solution or are they ready to jump into 389 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: this quarterback market in the draft, a lot of writing 390 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: on how he performs down the stretch, but this team 391 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: as one of the games, so he may have a 392 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: chance to keep his job. I want to start where 393 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: he ended there with Jared Goff. Jared Goff is only 394 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. Uh, this is somebody was, you know, 395 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: first overall pick in the draft, somebody who's been in 396 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. If you take his numbers where he 397 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: is right now and project him out, he stays on 398 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: this current trajectory's on, He's gonna throw for yards, twenty 399 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns picks. I mean, I think that's winning football. Buck. 400 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: I know they have Look, they have roster holes. This 401 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: defense needs to add pieces. They trade t J. Hockenson 402 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: to be able to get some more draft capital to 403 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: help them out. I mean, I think if they were 404 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: blown away by a quarterback, I could see him doing it. 405 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: But I think Jared Goff has played well enough and 406 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: he's young enough that I think you could address some 407 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: of these other needs. If the draft kind of falls 408 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: your way and you're staring at some big time defensive talent, 409 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: where are you at on that? Well, I'm kind of 410 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: like that. I feel like Jerry Golf has always been 411 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: undervalued and underrated. Like I know, he has limitations, but 412 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: I think when you put him in an offense that 413 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: places with strip, he has shown that he can be 414 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: an all Star caliber player. He also can get a 415 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: team to a Super Bowl. I don't know if you 416 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: can fully evaluate who he is and what he is 417 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: with the Lions until you have better players around him. 418 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: You have a mom ros st Brown, but I don't 419 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: know if you have enough skill talent to be able 420 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: to say, like, hey, we're winning or losing because of 421 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: Jerry Golf and so I think he should say. I 422 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: think the number is a managed a number where you 423 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: can continue to build the roster up well, maybe looking 424 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: for the franchise quarterback of the future, but I don't 425 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: know if that needs to be the major priority. I think, 426 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: if anything, because the lines have been competitive, let's see 427 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: if we can continue to add talent, and if the 428 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: quarterback falls to us, he falls to us. But I 429 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: don't think that is a must have position right now 430 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: for the Detroit lines. And you know, look, Jimmy Garoppolo 431 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: the fascinating part of that. For me, it's not exactly 432 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: the same. I'm not comparing these players, but do you 433 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: remember when the Chargers they weren't happy with Drew Brees, 434 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: they go out and draft Philip Rivers, and then Philip 435 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: Rivers was was was kept on the bench because Drew 436 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: Brees was able to hold him off until he ended 437 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: up falling hurting his shoulder, and then they end up 438 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: letting him go often to free agency, goes to Saints. 439 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: The rest is history. But I wonder, now, what Jimmy, 440 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: if they have success and they go on and run 441 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: and maybe they get to another Super Bowl, buck um, 442 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: if he holds off Tray Lance, when Tray Lance comes 443 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: back healthy, we just have we don't know what Trey Lance. 444 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: It's the great unknown or for whatever Jimmy's weaknesses are 445 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: and his limitations are, somehow this team finds ways to 446 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: win football games with them year and year out. Yeah, DJ, 447 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: Like now I'm beginning to lean more towards Jimmy Garoppolo 448 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: being a long term answer for the Niners, Like we 449 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: always want more. But when you look at the record 450 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: and you look at how they perform when he is 451 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: at the him, this is a team that consistently wins 452 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo is their quarterback. And even though it's 453 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: been unfortunate that injuries have happened, and de Real maybe 454 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: trade Lances progress. I think, at the end of the day, 455 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: is a decision maker. You gotta do what's best for 456 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: the team, and what appears to be best for the 457 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: team is having number ten as they're starting quarterback. Um, look, 458 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: you hate to do this, you would hate to move 459 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: on from trade Lance or you hate to kind of 460 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: keep him stuck behind Jimmy Garoppolo. But if he plays 461 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: well down the stretch, I don't think you can hand 462 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: trade Lance starting job and not run the risk of 463 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: losing the locker room, particularly with all the success and 464 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: they're enjoying with him at quarterback. Yeah, it's it's really 465 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: an interesting conversation. And some of those other names on 466 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: there as well, with Rogers, Mac Jones, g Smith. Again, 467 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: you can you can log on NFL dot com and 468 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: you can find this article and read more about these 469 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 1: guys that have a lot at stake here in the 470 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: second half of the season.

When we come back, we're gonna look at 472 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: a number that I think is compelling when you're evaluating 473 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: wide receivers again, another next gen stat we're gonna jump 474 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: into it.

Now, one 483 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: position that you know you're always gonna peck my ears 484 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: and get my interest is when you talk about pass catchers, playmakers, 485 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: white else. It has become one of the most mar 486 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: key positions in football. You did a little research, a 487 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: little stuff in next year stats. Tell me what you're discovered. Well, 488 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: I was looking for stat that that I was curious about, 489 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: and that is actually it's referred to as yards after 490 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: catch over expected. So it's yak OE. And that's an 491 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: interesting number because the way that it's it's tabulated is 492 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: it's not just the yards you get after the catch, 493 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: it's what's expected of you. Uh So this is expected 494 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna get four yards based off where everybody's positioned 495 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: on the field. Again, they have all the GPS, they 496 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: have all the information, they have all the data, and 497 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: they can say, Okay, this is what was expected. You're 498 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: supposed to get four, You've got seven, so we're gonna 499 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: add three yards overexpected. And when you look at the 500 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: yards over expected after the catch, I thought we'd break 501 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: it down with the veteran players, with everybody, the entire 502 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: pool as well as the rookie pool. And when we 503 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: look at the at everybody, here's here's the numbers. Here 504 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: here the leading guys, the white outs that are doing 505 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: more than expected after the catch. Not a surprise. Number 506 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: one on the list Deebo Samuel in terms of white outs. 507 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: Then you get to Juju Smith, Schuster, Jalen Waddle, Cooper Cup, 508 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase, Justin Jefferson, ron Dale Moore, Levisco, Chanal A. J. Brown, 509 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. To me, you can find a meaningful stat buck, 510 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: when you find what you know, what your eyeballs tells 511 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: you are some of the best wide receivers in the 512 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: NFL when they show up on a list like this one. Yeah, absolutely, 513 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, like that's the thing, Like you can you 514 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: can tell guys who have those special qualities with the 515 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: ball in their hands. In the past, we've talked about 516 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: being taught early in my scouting career about punt returners 517 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: and guys who have that return ability and how maybe 518 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: it may translate into success as why receivers in terms 519 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: of the yact that they can produce. But I think 520 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: some of it kind of speaks to guys not only 521 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: their looseness and explosiveness, but how about their toughness Because 522 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: at a time where a lot of receivers like get 523 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: where they can and they get down, there are other 524 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: guys who really pushed the envelope in terms of trying 525 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: to get every yard that they can get on the field. 526 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: And for those guys, those are the ones that are scared. 527 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: When you have a Deebo Saman that can break tackles 528 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: in the open feel and he really tests the toughness 529 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: and the tackling skills of the dbs on the perimeter, 530 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: those are the guys that make it very very difficult 531 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: and challenging to defend because you can draw up the 532 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: right coverage, but what you can do is make sure 533 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: that your guys have enough courage to be able to 534 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: get those guys down with big hits. Yeah. I think 535 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: it's it's something for scouting as well. You know, you 536 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: think about the emphasis you could place on that. Um, 537 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: when you look at some of these players, some of 538 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: the top players in the league that show up on 539 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: this list, we're we're evaluating guys for the draft. Talk 540 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: about Okay, he's a great route runner. We'll talk about 541 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: his ability to catch the football, his ability to track 542 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: the football, his abioid high point the football. What he 543 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: does after the catch is pretty darn important, especially when 544 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: you can take everybody and say here's the expectation, and 545 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: these guys go above and beyond that with what they're 546 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: able to accomplish. UM. I think those dynamic guys after 547 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: the catch, I think there's something to be said. They're 548 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: also fascinating to me. The number one guy in the 549 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: list or any position is not a wide receiver. It's 550 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: actually Christian McCaffrey. So you have two forty niners, uh 551 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: a number one and number two with Christian McCaffrey and 552 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: deep O Samuel. So they're they're uh, they're known for 553 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: what they do after the catch, and they go bring 554 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: in Christian McCaffrey has done it better than anybody this 555 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: year in terms of yards after catch over expected. All right, 556 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: let's look at the rookies. These are the rookies and 557 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: who leads in those categories. In this category, it's Drake 558 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: London number one, followed by Khalil Shakier with the Buffalo Bills, 559 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson with the Jets, Romeo Dobbs with the Packers, 560 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: followed by his teammate Christian Watson. So two Packers rookies 561 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: show up on this list, and then you end up 562 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: with Trailan Burke's and wan Dale Robinson the last couple. 563 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: But I want to focus here on two of these. 564 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: First three. You look at Drake London, UH, number one 565 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: is a first round pick, and then Garrett Wilson, who's 566 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: number three, is a first round pick. I think that 567 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 1: was in the scouting report for both those guys for 568 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: different reasons. Drake London with the strength to be able 569 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: to run through tackles, and then the elusiveness of of 570 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: what you have with Garrett Wilson. Yeah. No, Drake London, 571 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: let's talk about him. First one. He's a super sized 572 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver on the perimeter. UH, tremendous physical dimensions that 573 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: gonna dwarf some of the small corners that he has 574 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: to face, and so what happens is when he gets 575 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: his hands on the ball, it's hard for those guys 576 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: to bring them down. DJ we've talked about the small 577 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: dvs and while we're not fans of small dbs because 578 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: they get exposed when it comes to being able to tackle. 579 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: But now Drake London, or wide receiver, challenges that because 580 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: of his size and superior dimensions, and so you want 581 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: to get him the ball in space because he is 582 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: a playmaker. Gary Wilson is completely different. I think with 583 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: Gary Wilson when you're looking at the Jets passing game, 584 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: their number one receiver, he is a guy who can 585 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: win with quickness. He has some wiggle and some shaking bake, 586 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: so he's hard to bring down in one on one 587 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: situations in the open field. And he has done a 588 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: great job of maybe even showing more than he displayed 589 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: at Ohio State in terms of his ability to turn 590 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: short gains into big games because he can make the 591 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: first defender miss uh. That's the quality that everyone wants 592 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: because he can allow you to play a rhythmic passing 593 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: game and still know that you may generate some big 594 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: as a horizontal plays as opposed to just vertical. Yeah. 595 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the highlights of Garrett Wilson, 596 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: if you want to just watch all his targets this year. 597 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: You can see the explosiveness and so a lot of 598 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: that run after catches him just putting his foot in 599 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: the ground and going. But then you add the elusive 600 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: ability that he has as well make people miss. I 601 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance. I know, Zack Wilson's gotta 602 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: step his game up. But if I told you right now, Buck, 603 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 1: when we think about guys like a j Brown, Stefon Diggs, 604 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, like these these premier dudes, the Cooper Cups 605 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: of the world, if he gets good quarterback play, you know, 606 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: as he moved forward his career, I think I think 607 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson can find his way into that conversation where 608 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: you at on that one, Oh, I'm there, DJM there. 609 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: Like just looking at the b road cliffs that we 610 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: just showed while you were discussing him, you can see 611 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: a couple of things that stand out. One, he is 612 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: an outstanding route runner. And when I mean at outstanding 613 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: route runner. You can see not only the patience and 614 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: discipline when it comes to getting to his depth and 615 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: getting out of his brakes, but he has the little 616 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: stuff that you need head and show to fakes. He 617 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: has the ability to give you different hims and releases 618 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: to create advantages when it comes to the leverage. And 619 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: then he's tough man. He's courageous. Catching the ball inside 620 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: the numbers is not for everybody, but because he's willing 621 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: to do it, there's a lot of hidden yardage over 622 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. And so the number one 623 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: receivers that we laud and applaud the Justin Jefferson's of 624 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: the world, the Cooper Cups of the world. Now Gary 625 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: Wilson will be in those categories. He can do more 626 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: because he can constantly create separation and then when he 627 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: gets his hands on the ball, he makes it happen. 628 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: And I want to make sure I'll put Stefan Diggs 629 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: in there because I don't want him to get mad 630 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: at me for not including because he's also one of 631 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: those dynamic playmakers that we talked about. Yeah, that was 632 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: my cop for him coming into the draft, was Stefon Diggs. 633 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: I thought that's who he kind of reminded me of. 634 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: But the way that he plays h one more thought 635 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: on this. I want to get your take. We've talked 636 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: a lot about defensive tackles and how when you're playing 637 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: a lot of too high coverage teams are playing with 638 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: light boxes, you're worried about explosive plays. Trying to take 639 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: that away that maybe that could change the way you 640 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: scout defensive tackles because you need you need some bigger 641 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: guys to eat up space because you're playing with fewer 642 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: guys down there. I also think now that you have 643 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: this too high coverage and you're trying to play off 644 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: keep the ball in front of you, doesn't that standard 645 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: reason at the wide receiver position that run after catch 646 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: has never been more important than it's gonna be going forward. Well, 647 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: not only that run after catch and route running, I 648 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: think now you really have to be able to evaluate 649 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: the skills when it comes to the route runners because 650 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: before and and a lot of times it's scouting, it's 651 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: easy to get fascinated with the explosive and dynamic athlete 652 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: that when we're watching College State he's just blowing past 653 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: people because he has better athleticism he's a faster guy. 654 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: But in the league, because everyone is playing these umbrella coverages, 655 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: they're not letting you throw it over the top of them. 656 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: They're daring you to catch it up under and see 657 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: if you can nickel and diamond down the field. Yes, 658 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: I want route runners who can get open and find 659 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: those voids, but I also want guys who can make 660 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: the first defender miss because end zones where all odds 661 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: are there. If you miss a tackling those things, that's 662 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: when it has an opportunity to get out the gate. 663 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: You need to have guys who have the full toolbox. 664 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: We've talked about in the last couple of years when 665 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: it came to the draft. The guys who have an 666 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: immediate impact in the league are more the route runners 667 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: than the explosive playmakers and athletes. Right now, I'm looking 668 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: for skill tacticians, skill technicians that are able to get 669 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: open against any coverage and also have a little plus 670 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: ability when it comes to being able to run after 671 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: the catch. Yeah, I think it's smart. I think it's 672 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: a smart discussion. I think it's interesting when you're evaluating 673 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: these players and trying to sort them and rank them. 674 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: How some skills as the game changes, they move up 675 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: in importance. And I think you nailed it right there 676 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: with the way you describe that bucket. Anything you want 677 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: to add before we get out of here, and uh 678 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: and wrap this one up. I honestly this DJ, this 679 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: was like one of the best discussions we've had in 680 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: a in a couple of weeks. Like it was really 681 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: great to kind of dig into not only the numbers 682 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: but then the film and kind of marry it together. 683 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: I think as scouting continues to advance and move on, 684 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: the guys who are going to be the best scouts 685 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: and the best evaluators are able to take the numbers 686 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: off the paper and bring the evidence from the film 687 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: to make great decisions on who's who it was what. 688 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: When it comes to talking about prospects or even players 689 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: in the pros, I think you have to marry and 690 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: mild the analytics with the evaluation for from the film study. 691 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: And I think it's important to kind of see where 692 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: the game is going um and be able to adapt 693 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: and change along the way in terms of what you 694 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: prioritize not only in positions, but within those positions, what 695 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: skills you should prioritize. So again, it's it's a discussion 696 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: that will continue on here on, Move to six as 697 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: we as we continue to get towards the draft.
