1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Brandy, he's got all day. He's got Brown. He's got

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown, four nets. Touchdown. That was easy touchdown, four nets.

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: He's got his second of the game. Hurts has run,

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: has speed, has a touchdown. It is a six point

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: game after that two point conversion and the fucking ears

6
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: and kneel downtime. That's right, Thursday Night Football, two of

7
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: the defending champion Bucks get it done. In the best

8
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: highlight we could close with was a kneel down. It

9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: was that kind of night. In Nate Tyson looking like

10
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: a slightly more weathered Justin Herbert with his backwards at

11
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: there really is a resemblance here. Good to have you

12
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: back on the show, Nate of the Athletic Football Podcast.

13
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: And like so many others, Nate, you were sweating out

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: that final score you sent me earlier in the day. Yes,

15
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: I'll do the show, but I'll just be in a

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: bad mood if the Bucks don't cover six and a

17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: half points. Now, we can't do that as NFL employees,

18
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: but that's not you, Nate, te tell me about tell

19
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: me about your pain, because I feel like that was

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the most exciting part of the end of this game. Yeah,

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: you also get Nate after dark, so you get that,

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: you get the backwards hat. That's that's me just going

23
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm not putting product in screw this. I haven't got

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: a haircut in three months. I'm not This is hat

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: hat backwards hat. But no, I uh. One of my

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: adages this uh this season as a as a newly abled,

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: newly enabled person that can gamble on sports now since

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm not no longer affiliated with the team, nor is

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: my dad, I I one of my angles has been

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: betting against the Eagles throughout the season, and the last

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks it has now bitten me twice. Um. Luckily,

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: there's this thing called live betting where the spread got

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: changed to five and a half in the middle of

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: the game, so I was able to hedge a little bit.

35
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: I thought I was doubling down, but it turned out

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: to be a hedge. What's uh, Yeah, what's The Eagles

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: went for two and I made it a six point game.

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: That was You probably heard me screaming. Somebody everybody within

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: a five s of Vegas heard me screaming. Yeah, I

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: mean yeah. Native course lives in Vegas, so it's easy

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: for him to get down. But this is what a

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: lot of people were talking about online because ultimately, wasn't

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: that exciting a game? It was twenty seven is a

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: twenty one point game just felt like another Bucks game

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: where they get touchdowns too easy, where life seems too easy.

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: And then again it turned into another Eagles game where

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts uh put some some late touchdowns and you know,

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: shows again that he has the biggest gap between his

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: fantasy value and his real life value of any player.

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: I can really think of it in a long time,

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of places we should talk about

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: this game seriously, um, but I think what a lot

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: of what I'm thinking of watching this game is just

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: thinking about like what are the Eagles and what is

55
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts? And after after six weeks, I'm struggling with it.

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: I am struggling with what is j Who is Jalen Hurts?

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Right now? To you as as an ex quarterback, I'm

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: not a quarterback. You were an next quarterback, but you

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: have the column so it kind of you know, that

60
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of gives you more credence than I do. I

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: just have a sub stack talking about offensive line play,

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the you know, the the I would I look at

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Hurts as more of a high end backup spot starter

64
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what you saw tonight. He can

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: create some plays with his legs. But what you saw tonight,

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: and I think more people saw a complete game which

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts in the Eagles offense, as opposed to

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: maybe seeing red zone some highlights and then looking at

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: the fantasy scores and going, hey this guy, Hey, hey,

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: he's putting up twenty four points from me. I'm fantasy

71
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: this guy must be pretty good. It's the Blake Bortles Award.

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's what it is, is the

73
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not putting the j Blake Bortles category, but least

74
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: that fantasy award. Um. I just see him. He creates

75
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: me like Portals to be fair put up like an

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: entire season. One's the second season where at the end

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: of it everyone was like, hmmm, something like portals is

78
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. That I was one of those people. So

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: just just putting that out there. But I could see

80
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Hurts getting on a hot streak like that. I think

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: people are burying him almost too quickly. But this is

82
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: this game is similar to a lot of Hurts games

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: this year. I think this was a particularly rough one.

84
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: But he goes through long stretches where they just don't

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: move the ball, and and then he'll get hot and

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: he in theory is a good runner, but I don't

87
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: know if he has a great instincts of when to

88
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: run and when to leave the pocket. Um, and his

89
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: his deep ball is like one of the most exciting

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: plays in the NFL. He throws seven of them a game.

91
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. Usually the ball

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: goes off Jalen Reagor's hands at some point. There's a

93
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of penalty. Like, there's a lot of penalties, and

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes guys go out of bounds, sometimes it's in bounds. Um,

95
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: it's just like a lot you never really know what's

96
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: going to happen. It's like pulling that that jackpot. Yeah,

97
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: it's it's Baylor's offense for years and years was this.

98
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: It was go balls and screens, and that's what it

99
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: kind of just seems like. It's it always a largely

100
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: I always look at the like the little vance stats,

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, his average definite targets probably like

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: two yards, but it's always super high because he just

103
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: chucks up those go balls. Throughout the game, so it

104
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: just gets inflated throughout the game. But that is I mean,

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: that's what the offense has been throughout the season. They

106
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: had a great game playing against the Falcons because the

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Falcons were dean piece and he was trying to blitz them.

108
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: And that's like the worst thing you do against this

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: because it's just all those bubbles have space to work.

110
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: And I think throughout the year more and more teams

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: were just like, let's just sit here and make him,

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, make him trying to actually progress on these concepts.

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Because there's a couple of times you can see tonight

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: where it hurts, hurts, drops back and then he's like

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: one one reads not open. He starts scrambling. And I

116
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: think that's a great point you brought up. It's not

117
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson scrambling. Like it's a different feel to it.

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: It's like it's a panic as opposed to like I'm creating.

119
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: And that's kind of when when it's when it's a

120
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: design running player or he's just on the edge, you know,

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: looking to get up the sideline. Obviously he's a good runner,

122
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: but that there's a difference between that. Yeah, it's kind

123
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: of like Daniel Jones a little bit like I don't

124
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: consider Daniel Jones like a great runner. He's really fast

125
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: and if you call the right play like he can

126
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: hit it, but I don't think he has great instincts

127
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: of when to run. And maybe Jalen Hurts can make

128
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: you miss a little bit more. But right now it

129
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: seems like the rest of Jalen Hurts is scrambling so

130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: much um that he doesn't have the field and they

131
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: haven't integrated his running into the offense. And I am

132
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: I am the last guy that is like, run the

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: ball more, guy. I've never been that guy. And yet

134
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: this Eagles team watching them even against the Bucks, so

135
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: I know you have a great rush defense. You do

136
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: feel like this team is so good at running the

137
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: ball when they do it, they're they're very efficient. They

138
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: rank high that you you would think they could integrate Hurts,

139
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: but it just hasn't happened. And tonight it didn't happen.

140
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: He ends up with under fifty completion and yes, the

141
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: final score ends up being two, But this this looked

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: like as big of a mismatch as as we kind

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: of expected going in. And that's how the flow of

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: it felt, and that's the run game of the Eagles

145
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: has been so frustrating. I'm sure as Miles Sanders fancy

146
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: owners could tell you, but it's the going from the

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys game a couple of weeks ago to uh, last week.

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, just against Carolina like they could they will

149
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: be able to run, like You'll see a couple of

150
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: good plays, and then they're just like a screen bubble

151
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: screen receiver screen and then you know screen bubbles, you know,

152
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: pumped the screen and throw a go ball off of it,

153
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: and it's like they just abandoned it. As soon as

154
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: one of those zone reads or one of those read

155
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: plays stops working, they're just like, oh, screw this, No,

156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: we can't run the ball. And actually, it's funny you

157
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: say that because in theory they actually look okay running

158
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: the ball, like they actually looked good. Their top five,

159
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: their top five in yards per gary. I mean, my

160
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Standers is a good runner. Gain Well is a good runner,

161
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: like both of them. They have a good offensive line

162
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: in theory when it's healthy. I don't know if Lane

163
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Johnson's coming back anytime soon, which is a huge problem

164
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of been under the radar that he just

165
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: lumped in with the injuries. He has some sort of

166
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: personal issue and and Sirianni said he doesn't know if

167
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be back this year, so that's a concern.

168
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: That's a lot of time we just spent on the

169
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: Eagles offense and a two and four team that's probably

170
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. We should give a little love, uh,

171
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: to the winning team here. It's like that first drive

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: of the game with the Bucks and Brady's throwing those

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: in cuts to Evans and God, when my my first

174
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: thought was, you know there, like no one gets twenty

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: yards as easily as the Bucks, And someone who really

176
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: understands the schematics and understands Brady and these guys, like

177
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: why does it look so easy? Why does their twenty

178
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: yards look easier than anyone else's And why does they're

179
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: like opening drive touchdown drives look so much easier than

180
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: everyone else's Because like, if we've watched Brady for years,

181
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: everything comes out right on time. So they're making this

182
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: incredibly hard offense look incredibly easy. And that's what just

183
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: what you're saying. But like in a this offense is

184
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: it's pushing the ball, it's at you always passing the

185
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: game and running the ball, And I think I think

186
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: a good good way to put it is last week

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, Like this is just one little play.

188
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Most teams run a if you get man coverage and

189
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to run something outside, you run a stop

190
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: route which is ten to twelve yards, Hey, throw it

191
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: up there painted on him. You've seen DeAndre Hopkins, Mike

192
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: Williams catch these this year. They run a deep hinge

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: at twenty four yards with Mike Evans. He's selling a

194
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: go all the way down and then Tom Brady is

195
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: just throwing it out seven step, dropped back stuff like

196
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: old school offense, but not not a play not like

197
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: most play fakes are seven step concepts. They're not even

198
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: play faking. They're just dropped back seven steps and Brady's

199
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: finding the right guy and it comes out on time.

200
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, it's cool, Like what who else

201
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: is running this back in the day. It's like old

202
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: school North Turner nineties kind of cowboys. Maybe I think

203
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: that's maybe a good comparison air correl, like if you

204
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: want to go way back, like that's kind of what

205
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: it is, and it's very uh yeah, it's all the

206
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: old school seven step stuff, and then all the run

207
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: game is just uh duo, which is power power without

208
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: the polar and then zone it's like they just don't

209
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: dress it up too much. It's a simple motion that's

210
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: manner Zone tell, and then it's like going from there,

211
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we'll just push the ball with digs

212
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: and over some posts as opposed to slants and outs.

213
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: So it's like this, it's just very vertical, and I

214
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: think it's like, is it, in theory predictable, Like is

215
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: it a little more like the Cults, Not like it's

216
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: like the old Cults offense, but the Cults offense was

217
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: an execution offense. It was like and I think as

218
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: fans and I'm guilty of this, it gets so caught

219
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: up of like which coaches are like being really creative

220
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: or tricking the other team in. But then you think

221
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: of those Cults offenses, which are some of the greatest

222
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: offenses of all time, which was the most predictable offenses.

223
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: They're in apine right, and it worked and out of

224
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: the bucks like a little bit like that, I would say,

225
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: a little bit like that, and that's what arians kind

226
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: of does. It's good concepts. If there's a few concepts

227
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: I have like answers to everything. But the problem with

228
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: him is that you have to protect, or you have

229
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: to have guys that win one all ones or etcetera.

230
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: If they want to play certain coverages. The Bucks have

231
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: all those guys and they can protect, so they're able

232
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: to do They have all the cocks to run this

233
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: type of offense, and it's just like, I think that's

234
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: the best way to put it. It's just like those

235
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: old cults offenses, seriously, because it's just like they only

236
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: run like seven concepts and then they're just like, Okay,

237
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it out two tight ends and then

238
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: next play we'll do three wide receivers and the next

239
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: play like now they've gotten more reps at it too.

240
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: And you watch tonight and O. J. Howard looks Betters

241
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: not even playing like that's right. But I've watched Howard

242
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: pretty closely this year and he hasn't moved well, and

243
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: I think he's moving better. Ain't been set said as much.

244
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: I really think that could help them a lot. Antonio Brown.

245
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's moving better, but he seems

246
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: to be approaching peak whatever. Antonio Brown. As I saw

247
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: someone tweet out, it's like, this is the best Antonio

248
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Browns ever looked. No, you can you can say that

249
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: about a Brady if you really wanted to get cute.

250
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: Like he's producing at as about as high a level

251
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: as as he ever as he's you know, to me,

252
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: he's the best quarterback in the league right now and

253
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: so so whatever. But he was doing that ten years ago.

254
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is not near where he was. Antoni Brown

255
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: is the greatest receiver I've ever seen. That's my personal opinion.

256
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: At his at his peace, he was. He he is

257
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: not there, but he's kind of getting there now. I

258
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: think he's now their leading receiver on the season, even

259
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: though he missed a game. The game they get to

260
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: switch Godwin and him and Brown because they both can

261
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: work from the slot and outside. So it's just kind

262
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: of like pick your poison. It's like it's like and

263
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: not only they have three awesome receivers, it's like all

264
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: of them like synergized really well. It's like it's not

265
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: fair like Antonio Brown's you're sometimes you're a third targeted receiver.

266
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: And it's like the last week against the Dolphins, it

267
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: was like eight targets, eight targets, eight targets, like ten targets,

268
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: ten targets, eight targets, something like that, which beeen Godwin,

269
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: Evans and Brown. It's like, just, well, Evans went this week,

270
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: so I can almost guarantee you he's going over a

271
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: hundred next week. That's bas actually what it does. They

272
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: just he's like, Okay, he didn't get a taste this week.

273
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: I gotta hook him up. Uh. You know who I

274
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: was thinking about watching this game was Tom Coughlin and

275
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: David Caldwell, the former Jaguars GM, and I was thinking,

276
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: they're watching Lenny four net light up. The Eagles get

277
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: to what a hundred and twenty seven yards and two

278
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns from scrimmage, and they were thinking, see, we were right.

279
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: We were ready to go with Lenny and Bordles instead

280
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: of drafting Mahomes. A little underrated moment in NFL history

281
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: there that no one really gives them grief for that.

282
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: Everyone was like, oh, yeah, that was that was fine.

283
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: Let's take four Net instead of drafting a quarterback because

284
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: we're totally, um, we're totally in on Boardles to and

285
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: then did that. I think the extend it was like

286
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: a year later. But yeah, like, oh yeah, that's right.

287
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: So it's a nice double away Amy, I think. And

288
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that was the same draft CMC came out. You didn't

289
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: even get the best. You know, there's a couple of

290
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Lenny looks. I do think less better than he's ever

291
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: looked in his career right now because he's catching the ball.

292
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: That's the that that he lent the league and dropped

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: percentage last year, which was pretty crazy. But he's a

294
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: little he does good. He does moving a little better.

295
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: He's running people over. He's obviously in a good situation.

296
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: But like he's a legit good starting running back, like

297
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: a very good starting running back right now. Halloween, Lenny, Halloween,

298
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: Lenny looks good. He really does. He does look about

299
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: like last week. I mean, it just looks so much

300
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: skinnier and better. It's it's crazy. What else is there

301
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: to say about this this Bucks team? You were making

302
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: fun of Troy, I mean a little bit. What was

303
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: it that Troy was bothering you about? He didn't bother me.

304
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: It was just it was more exalting the wound that

305
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: not only were the Eagles going for two to also

306
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: cover that he had to hear Troy Acman try to

307
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: misunderstand the math for when to go for two when

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: you're down fourteen and then you score a touchdown and

309
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: and it was just here Aikman and Buck get confused

310
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: about that. Really kind of like Buck actually like heard

311
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: on analytics, uh like yelling at him and his mentions

312
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: and explained it all for him. But Quiz killed you.

313
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Quiz um ruined your your child's college fund. Quaz took

314
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,359
Speaker 1: a lot of money out of the pockets of Bucks investors.

315
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Made a tough catch on that. Two bucking versions. I

316
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: gotta say Quez Watkins is a player. They actually like

317
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: the Watkins, Davante Smith, even reagor a little bit um group.

318
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if they all make sense together, but

319
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Quiz Watkins is a player. You got some players in Philly.

320
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: It's just it's just not gonna happen for you this year.

321
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: I also enjoyed Troy calling um now I'm forgetting his name.

322
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: Oh he butchered the name. Oh what was it? It

323
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: was the d tackle right, Yeah, he called them roaches

324
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: one of snow just ruches. Just but I don't know

325
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: like Chris Bourman nickname either. Um, you mentioned the substack earlier.

326
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: That was very subtle. That was good. It actually got

327
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: double mentioned because Mark Sessler brought it up. He's a

328
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: subscriber as well. Thank you, Mark. But tell me about

329
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: the substance the sub stack. It's it's for the kids,

330
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's young kids. I'm glad you said

331
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: for the kids. I think you're about to say it's

332
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: for the birds. Uh no, but it's a My substack

333
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: is called the Silent Count. Gotta get a little football

334
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: reference in there, and yeah, I I as opposed to

335
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: a Twitter threat. I decided to kind of go more

336
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: long form, and my most recent articles this week was

337
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: or newsletters. I think it's prefer term on sub stack

338
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: is uh, if you subscribe to it, I'll you get

339
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: pushed an email or you go onto the website to

340
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: read this. But I broke down Trey Lances first start

341
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: um against the Arizona Cardinals, a little more optimistic about

342
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: than I thought I would be. And also do I

343
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: started doing a little more voiceovers on there where I

344
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: can kind of break down a play with the I

345
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: didn't even check. I didn't even check out the voiceovers,

346
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: but I read that and that was really good because

347
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: I was wondering what to think about that Lance um start.

348
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: I felt the same way, uh that I think there

349
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: were some some good things in there, and I want

350
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: I want to see more, but people should check it out.

351
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: I am a subscriber. Nate is a busy man. This

352
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: is his third podcast of the day. Wait, I don't

353
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: get it though. You you do the Athletic you know,

354
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: And and then I did, I did, I did the

355
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: Cleveland's Athletic podcast. Someone else's podcast. Um is one of

356
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: the best in the business. Um he is, you know.

357
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: I like to call him the Couardorele Patterson of the

358
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: the NFL media landscape, like he can do everything and

359
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: no one's exactly sure how to use him. And he's

360
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: just waiting for his Arthur Smith to come on board.

361
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know when we're gonna have you on again.

362
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: So I just want to get Quardrell in because me

363
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: and you have, you know, long talked about how every

364
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: coach gets Cordarell disease. They have a you have a

365
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: game or two where they think they think they've really

366
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: got something. It works at first, and then it's diminishing

367
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: return to the rest of the year. But I was

368
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: in London and I'm watching Cordurel Patterson and this is

369
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: like the sixth straight week he's been a boat star

370
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: and he finally found his home. So I think there's

371
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: a lesson in there somewhere, like if you've got a

372
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: skill set and people just keep trying and they can't

373
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: figure it out, you never know, maybe you just need

374
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: to find your Arthur Smith some of us peak after

375
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: thirty you know, you just gotta find you just gotta

376
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: find your call. Can can you explain it for me?

377
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, why not? I don't know it was. I

378
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: knew Arthur Smith, like Patterson, he caught that. He caught

379
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: the pathogen wherever whatever the cordaral pathogen. He caught it

380
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: when on the first drive Falcons drive of the season

381
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: they wind him aut at running back, fullback, wing, tight

382
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: end and receiver on the first drive and I was like,

383
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: oh boy, he caught. He caught a full blown he

384
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: got But this time it's going both both ways. He

385
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: is he is a legitimate weapons their offense. And there

386
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: was a moment in that game and I know we're

387
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: way off topic here and we're gonna we're gonna say

388
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: goodbye soon. It wasn't that great a game where you know,

389
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: Patterson picks up a key first down to basically salt

390
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: the game away. I forget which Jets safety or cornerback

391
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: it was, but he tried to give him a little business.

392
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: And I'm standing on the sideline like a real sideline reporter,

393
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: and you know they give him. He gives a little

394
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: shove extra at the end to Quardo as they're going

395
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: out abound in Cordos, a big guy, Quardrele just freaking

396
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: shut gives him a forearm to the neck and pushes

397
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: him off and just like, get off me. I'm a man.

398
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn, that's my guy. That's because

399
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: it's just the other the little cornerback. He shuffled off

400
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: and it was just like, don't even mess with me,

401
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: hitting me out of out of bounds, and it was

402
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: it was something They moved fast, these big NFL guys

403
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: in person, very impressive and a guy like Patterson too,

404
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: like you said, he's more put together than you realize.

405
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: He's two thirty. He broke the like testing in the

406
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: Raiders they had like they had some force testing and

407
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: he was like banging like he had like a quad

408
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: injury and he still did it and he like shattered

409
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: their record for it with a quad injury. And it

410
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: was like they're like, and I remember the strength coach

411
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: going like he's put together guys's he was pretty athletic.

412
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, that's why we signed him.

413
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Um, Nate Tys he said it all. You

414
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: are the man, and so is Rakiem Nunez Roaches. I

415
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: was feeling bad about that we never gave him his

416
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: actual name. You know, great great backup defensive tackle Rickie

417

Speaker 1: Nunez Roaches Um who was called um by Troy Aikman.

418
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: Roaches notes that really made me laugh. You know, you

419
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: need something to get us through the night. Who knows
