Boys. 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: A couple of days before Christmas. So before we get 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: to the takeaways, Buck, I need to ask you, are 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: you done with your shopping my front? No, not at all. 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: I normally don't get started until Christmas Eve. So come on, 9 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm right on. I'm right on track. I kind of 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: like to deal with the madness in the chaos of it. Also, 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: I still got another day. I got another twenty four 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: hours to make sure I get everything done. I'll get 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: it done. Yeah, I mean like we're basically sending out 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: New Year's New Year's cards for Christmas, so we were 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: behind in the Christmas card game, so everything is just 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: kind of falling a few steps behind here. But yeah, 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a little delayed. I'll say that 18 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: first year of my life, I finished getting my Christmas 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: opping done. But this is like three weeks ago, boys, 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: I mean three weeks ago. Myself. I've got all this 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: time on my hands. Yes, I found myself on a 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: little trip I was I would know. I was with 23 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: my daughter on a little college visit, and we had 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: a little time before our flight, before we were gonna 25 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: come home, and I said, let's hit them all. Hit 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: them all in the middle of the day. There was 27 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: nobody there bing bang, boom done. Look at you. Just 28 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: just that easy, just that easy head of the curve 29 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: right there. All right, So we got ten takeaways, the 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: eleven takeaways. You guys have a lot of shopping left 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: to do. But I'll start us off with our first 32 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: takeaway here. And that's the game I attended and uh, 33 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: the big takeaway there. Hey, somehow, some way, the the 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: I gotta say this, right, the Oakland Raiders soon to 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: be Las Vegas Raiders, were still alive and take this 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: opening drive in the second half, end of the end 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: zone Washington in fresh back platch heads and zone touchdown, 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: Raiders opening drive, third quarter. Staying alive. That's the theme today, 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: and the Raiders are staying alive so far. All four 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: other things that had to happen today happened. And now 41 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders win this and they'll go to Denver with 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: a chance to be the sixth seed in the a 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: f C. Wow. Oh there you go, Brett Musburger, he 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: said it best they're staying alive. By the way, I 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: got a chance to meet bretent Musberger for the first time. 46 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: When a nice gentleman. So that was kind of cool 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: up there in the in the press box at him 48 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: on our our pregame show. There. But guys, this came 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: to me was a line of scrimmage game. And the 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: Raiders controlled the line of scrimmage. They're able to run 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. The Chargers could not get 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: any run game established whatsoever. And the Chargers decided they 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: were gonna play a lot of soft zone. And and 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: that was Christmas Camp come early for Derek Carr because 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: he took one check down after another and moved the 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: ball right down the field. Um, you look at his 57 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: not six of thirty and I mean, yeah, long drive 58 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: just six yards at the time. I mean just taking 59 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: those little spot routes, flat routes, just one after another 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: after another after another, and they rack up some yards 61 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: after catch and um, and that was pretty much it. 62 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: The Chargers could not get anything going offensively. Uh Buck 63 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland Ferrell, Um, he has one sack against the rest 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: of the league this year, He's got three and a 65 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: half against the Chargers. He enjoys playing the Bolts. You know, 66 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: DJ is funny you talked about the ding of dunk 67 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: game that Derek Carr was excelling in UM. When you 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: look at the Raiders offense and John Growden, this is 69 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: actually how he wants to play UM. Even though there's 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: kind of this reputation that kind of presees him about 71 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: being like this high powered offensive mind, he is really 72 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: guy that wants to run the ball. He wants to 73 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: have an efficient passing game, and he wants to control 74 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the ball to retain possession and just kind of wear 75 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: you out over time. I felt like this was the 76 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: kind of game that embodied who he wants the Raiders 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: to be this year and going forward. So you were 78 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: talking about the four things, or Musburger was talking about 79 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: the four things that needed to happen. In addition to 80 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: the Readers winning over the Chargers, they needed Tennessee to lose. Check. 81 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: They need pit Ssburg to lose to the Jets. Check. 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: They needed Cleveland lose the Ravens. Check. They needed Jacksonville 83 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: to lose to Atlanta. Chitch check. Now, there's still a 84 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: few things that need to happen. Let's just for the 85 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: sake of being thorough run through that Tennessee has to 86 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: lose to Houston in week seventeen. Is that gonna happen? Maybe? Okay, maybe, 87 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: Let's see Pittsburgh needs to lose to Baltimore RG three 88 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 1: quarterback and r G three right, Okay, it could happen. 89 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: Indiana them Okay, Indianapolis needs to beat Jacksonville. Based on 90 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: the way the two teams played in Week sixteen, you'd say, yeah, 91 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: give that, Give the Colts that one. H Okay. Oakland 92 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: then needs to win in Denver. That's no given either 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: Denver's defense has been playing well, and then because of 94 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: strength of victory, one of the following four things need 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: to happen. Either the Lions need to beat the Packers 96 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: or tie them. Bears need to beat the Vikings or 97 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: tie them to the Patriots. The Patriots need to beat 98 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: the Dolphins in Foxborough. Lead with that, well, but I 99 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: just wanted to add the drama. The drama. Also, the 100 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: Chargers could beat or tie the Chiefs if you want 101 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: dj If you wanted to lead with that one, Okay, yeah, 102 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: so look it'd be pretty cool. But Chiefs are rolling 103 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: right now. I don't see that happening. All of that 104 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: is very doable for the Raiders, which is kind of 105 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: fun heading into weeks seventeen. Very doable. Man, maybe she 106 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: could put out my old Raiders T shirt and comes 107 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: him into the player. Come on, let's go. But I 108 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: was like, it sounds like it, all right. It was funny, 109 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: that's great, it was. It was a fun. It was 110 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: fun to visit with Mayok by the way before the 111 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: game and then uh, you know, see him at halftime 112 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: text after the ball game though, and he said, like 113 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: I think that he was like somehow, some way still alive. 114 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: There you go, still ticking, live to see another day here. 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: So I don't love it. Good for them, all right, 116 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: let's get to the next takeaway. What do you got Buck? 117 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: The Patriots revealed their playoff identity, fourth and goal for 118 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: the fifteen the Plets just coming, Alan running for his life. 119 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: Wats it towards the back of the end zone. A 120 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: man there and it's knocked down in complete j C. Jecks. 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: It breaks it up in the corner of the end zone, 122 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: knocking it away from Cole Beasley, and that should be 123 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: enough to give the New England Patriots every eleventh straight 124 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: a FC East title. Man, the Patriots just continue to 125 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: amaze me the way they kind of change their identity, 126 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: particularly at any of year going into the postseason. Uh, 127 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: they figured out that they need to run the ball. 128 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: Sonny Mitchell was the major factor in this game against Buffalo. 129 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: You see him almost have a hundred yards. You see 130 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: him get twenty plus carries. You see Rex Burkhead come 131 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: in and chip in a little bit. And then in 132 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: the passing game, it's either spread and shred with Tom 133 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Brady way he spreads them out empty formation of ball 134 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: comes out quick, or they play action and they take 135 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: shots down to field. This is other Patriots did it 136 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: a year ago and it helped them win a Super Bowl. 137 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Is the way they're going to do it this postseason 138 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: because they know their defensive their special teams will set 139 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: them up for scoring opportunities. They just know they need 140 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: their offense to get to twenty four. They get to 141 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: twenty four points, I don't know if anyone's going to 142 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: be able to beat them in the postseason. Yeah, boys, 143 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: I look at it. I put together a little a 144 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: little checklist here for the Patriots to win games in 145 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: the postseason with their current roster and the way they play. 146 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: Here we go New England. Have a run game, as 147 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Bucky mentioned, Uh, efficient and quick game, sprinkling a trick 148 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: play that's coming at some point in time. They're gonna 149 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle because they're gonna protect it. They're 150 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: gonna try and take it away. And then they're gonna 151 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: have one impact special teams play. Now that might be 152 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: a block kick, Um, it could be a long return, 153 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: but just one impact play on special teams. And that's 154 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: a checklist, man. And they're pretty good about it, man, 155 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: when they know their formula and how they need to 156 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: do it. Uh, they're pretty efficient at getting that done. 157 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: It's not easy on the eyes, Rett, but they still 158 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: have a formula. They could march right back to the look. 159 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: There's still not a ton of trust from Brady would 160 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: seem outside of Edelman in the running backs, but he's 161 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: probably I mean, it's it's for good reason. It's probably 162 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: their their best way, their best path to victory on offense. Uh. 163 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: I was watching our guy, Mike Giardi was taking a 164 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: look at the game, and you know, it's kind of 165 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: the Bucky's points. And you know, Tom didn't throw the 166 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: ball down the field more than twenty yards in this game. 167 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: But the efficient short pass game, the run game, commitment, 168 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: the big plays on defense. I mean, if we had 169 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: seen this type of game from the Patriots, let's say, 170 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: from Week ten to Week six team, which we really didn't, 171 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, would there be as much doubt as there 172 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: had been about the Patriots in the in recent weeks 173 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: or does this not feel like the last four Super 174 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: Bowl teams that they've lined up with. Yeah, to me, 175 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: I think this is exactly And I think one thing 176 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: that was interesting to notice, um the commitment that you 177 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: saw on the outside with the wide receivers. In the 178 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: blocking game, you saw a couple of times uh nikkill 179 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: Harry get into it with advious White, And to me, 180 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: it kind of signify that, Okay, the Patriots are beginning 181 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: to get their their postseason game face on. The intensity, 182 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: the way they finished, the annoyance that you saw on 183 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: the outside, this is how the Patriots do it. And 184 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: so I'm a little worried if I'm the rest of 185 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: the a f C, the Patriots will have a buy 186 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: and they will only need two games to get to 187 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and that scenario it is it's hard 188 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: to envision them being put out before they get to 189 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: the final game. Yeah, well, we'll see what happens. This 190 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: is a team that I know, with all their experience, 191 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: especially the head coach in the quarterback, I don't think 192 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: anybody's too excited to play against them. All right, right, 193 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: what's the what's the number three takeaway? Well, the young 194 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are going to make the next decade of NFC 195 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: East football exciting. Third in Bowl at the three Jones 196 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: in the shot down bark they do is right. He 197 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: calls out signals, takes the snaffy's back to throw fires, 198 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: when White touchdowns Taton Smith, then they win it over time, 199 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: second touchdown cat for Smith, Jones Smith touch down pass 200 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: of the ball game and the Giants went over time. 201 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: So look, let's leave Dac and Carson out of it 202 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: here for just a minute and focus in on that 203 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: Giants and Redskins game, which not a ton of people 204 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: did on a week sixteen Sunday with nothing on the line. 205 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: But let's talk about Dwayne Haskins and Daniel Jones. The 206 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: future was on display here and with Daniel Jones in 207 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: New York. It's bright, man. I mean, he got kicked 208 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: through five touchdowns and it's clear that he's a better 209 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: player and the Giants are a better team when Sae 210 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley is rolling and when the offensive staff commits 211 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: to getting Sae Kwon Barkley rolling and continuing to keep 212 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: him going. Um, it's really amazing to see what that 213 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: team can do on offense. Now I get it. Nobody 214 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: was really playing a whole lot of defense in this game. 215 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: Had it pinned for one of the highest scoring games 216 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: of the day before we even started on as we 217 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: were doing Game Day Live yesterday, and didn't let us down. 218 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: But on the other side, how much do you love 219 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: the steady improvement even if it's been a little methodical 220 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: from Dwayne how Skins since he took over as it started, Look, 221 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't pretty early, but we gotta give the kids 222 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: some credit. He stood in there and makes some throws, 223 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: and he's also showcased a little bit from time to 224 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: time of some pocket mobility and some pocket awareness there. 225 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: Um and it look, it's just another piece of the 226 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: process here. Um. And and then from Daniel Jones as well, 227 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: he started hot hit or rut, and now he's kind 228 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: of worked himself out of that um as he's returned 229 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: from injury. And so what this is is another piece 230 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: of evidence towards the thought process of plague your young quarterback, 231 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: because his best learning opportunities come on the field in 232 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: real game situations, then they do by sitting on the 233 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: sidelines and learning. I feel like that's what these two 234 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: guys are telling us here, and uh, there's I think 235 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: there's just a ton to build on with each of 236 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: these guys. And I was gonna say, let's go ahead 237 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: and throw in the fact that you've got to top 238 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks already in the division with less than four 239 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: years of experience in Dak Prescott and Carson wins, and 240 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: there's no way we're gonna see a seven lost team 241 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: win this division in the future. But the Cowboys and 242 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles can't figure it out with Dac and Carson. 243 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: And you know, there's a good chance that these teams 244 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: beat up on each other a lot in the future 245 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: as well. But at least we're gonna have some fun 246 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: watching these games. Well, I look at it, Red, and 247 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: you know the funny thing is, offensively, you look at 248 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: the Redskins. It's the Ohio State connection. Right. You've got 249 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: Haskins to McLaren, the two exciting rookies. They know each 250 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: other very well. But man, they've got they've got to 251 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: fix the defense. And good thing for them. You get 252 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: some offensive production out of your young quarterback. You've got 253 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: some excitement there. You still lose the game, which is 254 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: even better because you can go grab their teammate Chase 255 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: Young with the second overall pick and it let him 256 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: be kind of the focal point. Try and fix this defense. Buck, 257 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: this is a defense litter with Alabama players. Uh, they're 258 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: getting ready to go get a buck out here. I 259 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: can promise you that, Yeah, I think you have to 260 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: build this defense up. But to rest point about the 261 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: quarterback play in the INNDFT East, you have to be 262 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: excited about it. If I'm a Johnson Fisher, I have 263 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: to be excited about the prospect of appearing, say Kwon 264 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Barkley with Daniel Jones for the long term. Now fix 265 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: the offensive line, ask more weapons on the outside. This 266 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 1: offense can pop. Uh. The deciding factor for all of 267 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: these teams going forward. Who can build a better defense, 268 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: Who can build the best defense in the division that 269 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: is ultimately going to be the team that kind of 270 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: lords over the division. But for the young quarterbacks, excited 271 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: about them all. They've all have shown kind of flashes brilliance. 272 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: Um Haskins and Jones have been surprising, probably surprisingly impressive, 273 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: and I think you have to feel good about both 274 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: of their prospects of being really good players going forward, 275 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: no doubt. What do you got an xbox? Carson Wentz 276 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: is a magician. Flinch calling him for the football. Flinch 277 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: comes back, goes to Sanders, He's ahead, he's great, good planting, 278 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: and he slides down at the runty and this cable's 279 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: over forty to this typics left, but this cables over 280 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: as le Sanders quit and slides down. The twenties start 281 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: eighth yard one. Yeah, they can start the busses dj D. 282 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: We We've talked about this repeatedly on Path to the 283 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: Draft and other shows where the franchise quarterback taking in 284 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: the top five is supposed to pour rabbits out of hats. 285 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: What Carson Wentz did against the Dallas Cowboys, he pulled 286 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: a couple of rabbits out of the head because he 287 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: was forced to play with one wide receiver, a bunch 288 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: of practice squad guys, the number two tied in, and 289 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: a rookie running back in mouth centers, and he was 290 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: able to move this offense up and down the field 291 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: in an efficient manner. And so people have taken shots 292 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: at him. People have said, like, hey, we don't know, 293 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: this is the biggest game. I think in that environment, 294 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: on that stage, kind of dealing with what he was 295 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: dealing with, I think now more than ever, if I'm 296 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, I feel great about my franchise quarterback 297 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: because he delivered, and he delivered in a magical way. 298 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: Here here's my analogy here, guys, UM, when you have 299 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: a young quarterback buck, We've talked about this for a 300 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: long time. UM, you know, having a young quarterback surrounding 301 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: him with some veter and you know you have al 302 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey, you have some veteran guys around him that 303 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: is that can serve as like the training wheels, and 304 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: what a training wheels do. They keep you from falling over, 305 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: and they help you kind of get started and kind 306 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: of start that path. But eventually, if you want that 307 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: bike to go at optimum speed, I think you take 308 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: the training wheels off, and I think what we've seen 309 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: here is when you get rid of, you know, some 310 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: of the due to injury, a lot of these veteran 311 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: voices are all gone. There's no al Sean Jeffrey in 312 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: his ear, you know Nelson Aghiler, you know de Sean Jackson. 313 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: This is just a bunch of young kids. So what 314 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: does that mean? That means I'm Carson Wentz. I just 315 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: worry about who's open. I don't have anybody in my 316 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: ear tell me where I need to try and focus 317 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: the ball. The trust shifts from being on the players 318 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: around him to being in him. And I think we've 319 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: seen it with Russell Wilson. Look at how they kind 320 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: of changed over that roster. No Mare, Shawn Lynch, all 321 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: those veteran guys along, they started from scratch and then 322 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: all these young well yeah, apparently maybe coming back, but 323 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: but at this point in time, Russell Wilson had a 324 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: chance to grow. He became that guy with a bunch 325 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: of young guys, and you saw him just kind of 326 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: take that next leap. I think we're seeing that right 327 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: before eyes with Carson Wentz. And that's why I think 328 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: this offseason out with the old inn, with the new 329 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: young speed talent around him and let Carson Wentz really 330 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: be the captain of this ship. Sounds like that might 331 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: be a complete overhaul at the wide receiver spot. But 332 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: there's a good article in the Philly Inquirer talking about 333 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: Carson's interactions with his teammates and that after all of 334 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: the reports suggesting that some of those interactions weren't always positive, 335 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: and that some teammates, some voices inside that locker room 336 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: weren't always pleased with how hard Carson went about his business. 337 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: But there were quotes in there from j. J Arthegal Whiteside, 338 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: from young players, from veterans like Brandon Brooks as well, 339 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: talking about observing Carson's interactions with players not only at 340 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: the top of the roster, but at the bottom. How 341 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: he's always treated Greg Ward just like he was an 342 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: all Sean Jeffrey or Nelson aghilor or DeShawn Jackson. And 343 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's been on and off the 344 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: roster and the practice squad sixteen times since two thousand 345 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: and seventeen. Talking about Greg Ward um how he was 346 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: part of the crew that went to the seventy sixers 347 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: game with Carson invited everybody little things like that seemed 348 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: to have taken hold now and have halted some of 349 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: those kind of questionable narratives that we had begun to see. 350 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: Um and how those guys on the practice squad, Um, 351 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: we're part of that whole group that Carson brought down 352 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: to Houston in the offseason to train because he had 353 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: made a concerted effort to work on his relationships with 354 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: his teammates, not just the ones at the top of 355 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: the roster, but at the bottom, and the last piece 356 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: of it was on him. And I thought this quote 357 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: from Malcolm Jenkins was pretty important as well. Malcolm said this, 358 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: I think at this point in the year, he's trusting 359 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: more guys to make more plays. I don't think he's 360 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: trying to take it all on himself, which says a 361 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: lot considering who's out there. And it sure sounds like 362 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback we thought the Philadelphia Eagles were getting 363 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: when we were projecting him and when we were talking 364 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: about him after the draft. So I think that's interesting 365 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: as well. It is interesting the two most important things 366 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: in a team in terms of building a championship team 367 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: trust and communication, And what Carson went says, uh shown 368 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: and demonstrated this year. He's definitely communicating with those guys, 369 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: and I think it is really early. And DJ knows 370 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: the stories that we used to hear when actually been 371 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: drafted the next year, when they were thinking about going 372 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: to get guys, and he was on the road and 373 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: throwing to everybody trying to develop these relationships with prospects 374 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: before they even became Eagles. So look what he's doing 375 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: with practice squad guys. This is very very comfortable to him. 376 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: And because the young guys kind of they may look 377 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: to him with reverence because he is the franchise quarterback. 378 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: It's a different standing one where he kind of earns 379 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: that respect, maybe the respect that he wasn't given from 380 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: those veterans. I think this works out. I think this 381 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: works out really really well for the Eagles, not only 382 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 1: this year, but going forward because when they dismiss all 383 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: those old guys and the young guys come up, it 384 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: is a different ball game with Carson Wentz because now 385 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: they're really locked in and connected. H I don't think 386 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: this team is gonna go far go ahead. I don't 387 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: think red. I don't think this team is gonna be 388 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: a real threat in the post. I think they had 389 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: a chance to maybe win a home game. They they 390 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: maybe Seattle comes in there and beat up Seattle team. 391 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: Um they get in the post season, they get through 392 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: that first round. But this this is about the future 393 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: and the development of person Wentz going going out in it, 394 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: and it's positive and it's positive, and that's what's encouraging. 395 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: On the not so positive side, we gotta hit the 396 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys here briefly. Uh Look, I think among other things, 397 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: play selection again will be something that's gonna be talked 398 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: about in this game. You know, Ezekiel Elliott again carries 399 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: it just thirteen times, but a Marii Cooper not on 400 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: the field for the final you know, final heave ho 401 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: from Dak Prescott. Another another thing. I know, DJ, you 402 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: didn't you didn't mind the play call there. It just 403 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: didn't work out for them. But Cooper was frustrated with 404 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: I guess you could draw the conclusion as the scheme 405 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: considering the way Philly was playing. He had this to say, 406 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: to be honest, it wasn't anything to do with the 407 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: chemistry or anything or DOC or the limited practice reps. 408 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: The way the Eagles DBS were playing, the particular routes 409 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: we were running for example, and one of the routes 410 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: it was a curl. I beat him at the line 411 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and he was just sitting there under me 412 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: when I had to turn around. Obviously in a curl 413 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: you have to stop, and he was right there. We 414 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: could have run. We're deep routes. I feel like the 415 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: gold ball was a good route to run tonight, but 416 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: we didn't really get to it. You know it. Look, 417 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: that's that's just where the Cowboys are right now. We're 418 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 1: again talking about this and it's been a narrative all 419 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: season long. Yeah, it has been a narrative. It's another 420 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: whole podcast it has. But is disappointed. I would say this, 421 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: the culture the Cowboys is broken and it needs to 422 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: be fixed. A couple of things. You can't have your 423 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: star players sitting on the sideline, uh And some of 424 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: the choices were them by choice, tapping out, asking to 425 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: come out of the game in critical situations that can't happen. 426 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: And then in big games your biggest flaws are exposed. 427 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: The Cowboys lack of coaching, their lack of maybe schematic 428 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: ingenuity showed up. This is a game that the Dallas 429 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys should have absolutely won based on who was available. 430 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: This is an indictment on the coaching staff and what 431 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: they didn't get done, no doubt. All right, let's move 432 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: on here. Uh, this one is gonna be a quick 433 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: one here. It's a simple one. Uh. The Cincinnati Bengals 434 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: officially on the clock, play fake Daedward Burrow going for 435 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: all of that touchdown Joe mar Chase thirty three are 436 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: touchdown pass the tis Well. Look, it's gonna be a 437 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: decision for them to make. We've talked about it already, 438 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a Joe Burrow versus Chase Young. 439 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna have all spring to debate that. So I'm 440 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: not gonna do that right now, but I do think 441 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: it does provide some clarity there at the very top 442 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: of the board. And the one thing I would just 443 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: say on Joe Burrow and we can kind of move 444 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: on to this next takeaway here. The one thing I 445 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: would say, No, I wanted this real quick because we've 446 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: got to catch up. But number one with with with 447 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, he's a different personality. If you go back 448 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, the quarterback of this team for a very 449 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: long time. Andy Dalton, the quarterback of this team for 450 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: a very long time. Both guys a little more quiet, 451 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: a little more reserved. Joe Burrow, I think's got a 452 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: little more fire in him. Not not taking anything away 453 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: from those two quarterbacks were two good quarterback Carson for 454 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: a while, great quarterback, Pro Bowl quarterback. But this is 455 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: a this will be a different personality for them at 456 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: that position. Look, yeah, all right, I won't spend a 457 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: ton of time on it, but I think, um, you know, 458 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: I think the pick at thirty three will be just 459 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: as interesting really as as number one. Because this isn't 460 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: a this is not a terrible roster. I mean, if 461 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: you just if you, if you get very healthy, I 462 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: get it. They gotta get healthy. Let's let's just say 463 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: it depends on how you feel about Billy Sims and 464 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: about Michael Jordan's up there on the offensive line. But 465 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: you get Jonah Williams, maybe Cordy Lynn Glynn comes back, 466 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: and it's not an awful group there, uh mixing and 467 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: running back if you resigned a J. Green, Tyler Boyd's 468 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: a really good number two. And then on defense, Gino 469 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: Atkins has been as good as they come. In the interior, 470 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: a couple of good cornerbacks there and you guys like 471 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates coming out. I mean there's some there's some 472 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: pieces there. Sam Hubbard has been a nice player for 473 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: them as well, long the defensive line. You know, it 474 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: could be kind of this could be a really fun draft, 475 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: not just at the very top, but throughout for this 476 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: and Sinnati Bengals. And then I'll say my piece and 477 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: all that. No, this that's fine, I'm okay with that. 478 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: I think the bigger thing is you got to make 479 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: sure that you have the coach in place that can 480 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: get everything out of the staff. And I think that 481 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: will be the biggest thing that they have to figure out. Look, 482 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be there for a while because they believe 483 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: in stability. I just wanted Zach Taylor can elevate the 484 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: squad um without everything being perfect. That remains to be seen, Alright. 485 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: I just guy snuck one draft one in there. Fuck, 486 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: you can get us back on track here, I'll get 487 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: his back on track. The Ravens keep taking care of business. 488 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: Empty backfield, Jackson out of the shotgun. What's up for all? 489 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: Let's pressure coming Jackson hit lobs to the ends, all touchdown. 490 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: Mark and Andrews adlete the perfection from Jackson to Andrews 491 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: and the Ravens converts in the final minute of them 492 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: they have. This is a big game for the Baltimore 493 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: Ravens because I thought this was a game that was 494 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: going to test their maturity as title contenders. Um. Look, 495 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: they had reeled off ten straight prior to this game. 496 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: They they get in and they're not playing their best game, 497 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: like they're having a tough time, just struggling with the Browns. 498 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: But then at the end of the first half, you 499 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: saw them kind of pop a little bit. You saw 500 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson make a couple of plays. You saw why 501 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: he is the ultimate duel three a quarterback. In the game, 502 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: Look finished with three passing touchdowns. He had a hundred 503 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: yards rushing to thirty eight. And this just the Lamar 504 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: Jackson experience. He is a dynamic playmaker and I think 505 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: he's one of the I mean, he may be the 506 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: main reasons why you can't discount them in any game 507 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: because at any point he can make something happen. And 508 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: that is just something that the Baltimore Ravens can always 509 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: hang their head on. I got a quick one here, 510 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: d J. Is just that the indictment on the Browns man. 511 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: In the final ninety seconds of the first half, the 512 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: game completely flipped. The Ravens scored twice and the game 513 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: was essentially over at that point. You allowed the Ravens 514 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: to get into their rushing attack and just crush you. 515 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: In the second half. I know they tried to make 516 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: a run at it, but this game was over by 517 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: the time. They all ran into the locker room at 518 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: the break, and they came back out and and and 519 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: the Browns really didn't have a shot. The interesting thing 520 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: to me, the Browns are six and nine. That is 521 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: not a six and nine roster. That that is at 522 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: minimum a nine and six roster. You could flip it 523 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: around with the talent that they have there. It just 524 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: has not worked out for him. The two things that 525 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: stood out to me watching this tape Lamar's vision as 526 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: a passer um really seeing the full field, and they 527 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: have um they have mismatches, and they get your eyes. 528 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: You get your eyes in the wrong spot because they 529 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: do so much offensively. And then you're gonna see guys 530 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,239 Speaker 1: running free and he finds him. It doesn't matter if 531 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: he starts on the right side of the field. If 532 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: they bust on the left side on the far left side, 533 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: he's being able to work all the way through his progression, 534 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: seeing the whole field, and he's throwing the ball really well. 535 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: So those are the things that stood out to me 536 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: with Lamar. And the other thing is just schematically buck um. 537 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: I've never seen it happened so often where you see 538 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: big guys blocking little guys because you gotta get little 539 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: guys on the field, the match up with the speed, 540 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: and then you end up with Hayden Hurst on the 541 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 1: front side blocking Denzel Ward. I mean, so I tweeted out, 542 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: I still some might want to go over to the 543 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: stadium and see if he's still blocking him, because I mean, 544 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: it's just like and not Denzel Wards fall to me, 545 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: he's a a an eighty pound corner has got a 546 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: two er sixty pound tight end. I mean, it's it's 547 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: just the matchups they find a way to create in 548 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: the past game and the run games. Yeah, I think 549 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: the best thing that happens to the Baltimore Ravens actually 550 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: was the Charger game and the playoffs a season ago, 551 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: because everyone thought that they could copy with the Charges did, 552 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: but putting all those little dbs on the field, and 553 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: what the Baltimore Ravens have discovered is look big versus 554 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: little is always an advantage at every point. The twelve 555 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: and thirteen personnel packages with two and three tight ends 556 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: works with them. Then you add in a little option football. 557 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Then you add in the most explosive athlete and football 558 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: plays quarterback. It is just a handful. Um. I wonder 559 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: how long they can sustain the high level of play 560 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: because they can get a bye week in the postseason. 561 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: But right now they're as good as it gets when 562 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: it comes to being a very, very complete team. All Right, 563 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: I'll get us to our next takeaway here, and uh 564 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: that is regards to the Saints. If this was a 565 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: sign of things to come for Alvin Camara, then the 566 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: other NFC contenders are in a whole lot of trouble. 567 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: Reason the center here is gonna get the snap on 568 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: and off goes Kamara, offack, do the whole five turning 569 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: off to the races. Ten five touchdown Alvin Kamara. Forty 570 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: yards for Alvin Kamara. And that's the explosive play that 571 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: we've been missing out of h Okay. With respect to 572 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, and we'll get there. Who did No. One's surprise, 573 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: broke Marvin Harrison's single season receptions record he now sits 574 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 1: at one forty five. Had a touchdown to boot in 575 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: that game as well. Congratulations to Mike Thomas. But I 576 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: need to get to this point here on Camara because 577 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: my friends back home in New Orleans are irrational Saints fans. 578 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Uh They started comparing Alvin Camara's career to that of 579 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: Mario Bates's career. The second round draft pick of the 580 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: Saints back in the mid nineties, out of it his 581 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: date um So who He was first famous, by the way, 582 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: for having his job broken by fellow teammate Lorenz O'Neil. 583 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: He then had one huge game against the Falcons back 584 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: at ninety four and was anointed as the second coming 585 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: um of I don't know. At that point, Saints hadn't 586 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: really had a George Rogers. George Rogers, yeah maybe, uh so, 587 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: and then never really panned out. He was gone in 588 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: New Orleans after three or four years. So here's the thing. 589 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: Alvin Camara hadn't scored a touchdown until yesterday since like September. 590 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: He scored two yesterday, one of them on a forty 591 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: yard run, and we started to see some of that 592 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: explosion back and some of that commitments of getting him 593 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: involved in the game plan where he just the Saints 594 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: have been rolling and they hadn't really been counting or 595 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: relying on Camara like they had been in the past. 596 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy had fourteen touchdowns a year ago 597 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: just on the ground, eighteen total. So to see him 598 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: only with three this year, you know, at one point 599 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: it's like, WHOA, what's going on? But now, man, that 600 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: spells trouble to me for the rest of the NFC 601 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: playoff field. If because you know that Michael Thomas is 602 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: gonna get his ten for one thirty five and maybe 603 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Now you've got to deal with Camara again 604 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: in the backfield and in those matchup situations that Sean 605 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: Payton can present. So, um, I thought that this was 606 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: really really an interesting game for the Saints against the 607 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: Titans here to find Alvin Camara's groove. Thankfully my friends 608 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: didn't cut him. Um you know from the Saints earlier 609 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: in the season when they were so frustrated. So look 610 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: that I thought that's really interesting. Look, I do think 611 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: it's interesting about Avacamar finding his rhythm. I think he's 612 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: the look Michael Thomas and Avocamar and Drew Brees. They 613 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: are basically the Saints offense and everything kind of springs 614 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: from them. The fact that he finally put the ball 615 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: into paint, I think that Bowls will He has to 616 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: be a big factor on offense. I think he has 617 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: to be even bigger in the running game so they 618 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: can have that balance that they need so they can 619 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: throw and use the play action part of it. That 620 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: makes Drew Brees very dangerous as well. All right, I'll 621 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: keep it moving here. Let's get to a number eight 622 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: on the takeaway list. Look, I love the three as 623 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: much as everybody else. I love a good dunk, but 624 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: sometimes in a nice midrange game, and that's what Patrick 625 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: Mahomes showed. He had. They're down in five. For the 626 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: chances that the twelve of the Bears no score, big 627 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: Russ to the outside, Homes will scramble. He's at the ten, 628 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: he's at the touchdown s. Patrick Mahards runs it in 629 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: from twelvey yards from. The Chiefs get a touchdown on 630 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: their first drive of the game, and that was a 631 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: third and five touchdown run four Mahomes and showing again 632 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: he could make some plays with his legs. We've seen 633 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: that throughout the year this year. But to me that 634 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: the bigger takeaway when you study this game is the 635 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: Bears put the free safety buck in the parking lot. 636 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean he was forty yards down the field. They 637 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: were they were determined not to let the ball sail 638 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: over the balls. So when you watch this game, Buck, 639 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: they did not have a They didn't have a play 640 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: over twenty yards, did not have a completion over twenty 641 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: yards in this game, which is not something we're accustomed 642 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: to sing from the Chiefs. But they forced him, The 643 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: Bears forced them to see if Mahomes would be patient. 644 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: And he there he was. I mean he was just 645 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: carving him up in the middle of the field, dig 646 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: after dig after dig. You know, he had some you know, 647 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen, eighteen yard completions, but he showed some patients 648 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: And I thought that was key because you figure out 649 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: teams trying to say, Okay, we're not gonna give up 650 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: those big chunks. Can they be methodical? And I thought 651 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: that the he've showed in this game, absolutely they can. 652 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: The funny thing you talking about then being methodical on offense, 653 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: I think the reason it works is you can be 654 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: methodical on offense when you're getting great performance and production 655 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: from your defense. And lost in the Pat Mahomes thing 656 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey and Tyree Hill has been a defense 657 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: that is beginning to really really come on. And what 658 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: I like about what SPACs is doing with this defense 659 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: is they're being aggressive, but they're being very, very sound. 660 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: And what they're doing they're bringing pressure, they're creating turnovers. 661 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: The last two games, they've held their points opponents to 662 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: three points each. That is something that we're not accustomed 663 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: to seeing from the Kansas City Chiefs. If they get 664 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: this kind of defensive effort, this gives them a chance 665 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: to really be tighter contenders when they have to think 666 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: about playing Baltimore in New England to get to the 667 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: title game. Look Mahomes counting to ten as he ran 668 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: off the field, that they're one of the touchdowns. Everything 669 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: that was everything that he was trolling. Yeah, Look, that's 670 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: probably exactly how every Bears fan has felt this year, 671 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: especially in that game watching Trabinsky and Mahomes. Here's where 672 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't fault Ryan Pace for the whole Robinsky thing, 673 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: trading up from three to two to make sure, you 674 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: get the guy you've identified as your as the guy 675 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: you wanted your starting quarterback, as your future franchise quarterback 676 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: for the next ten to fifteen years. I guess I 677 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: don't I don't care about the trade if you really 678 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: felt like Drabinsky was gonna be that guy, because you know, 679 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: I guess having the careers that we've seen from Watson 680 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: and Mahomes and make you go like, oh gosh, not 681 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: only do we not get him, but we also traded 682 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: up to get him. Well, look, if he had turned 683 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: out to have the career of Watson, the Homes wouldn't 684 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: be talking about the trade. But they just identified the 685 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: wrong guy. I mean, that's that's that's what it comes 686 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: down to. Trade be darned right there. And I mean 687 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: at least that's where all the evidence has pointed thus far, 688 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: um and it's it's just it's tough to watch if 689 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: you're Patrick Mahomes though. Yeah, if you're Patrick Mahomes, you know, 690 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: I laugh. That was funny. Did the ten you know, 691 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: count the ten tigers? Dude? I I would you really 692 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 1: you really want to go play anywhere else? I mean, 693 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: you went I get there with Andy? Get that Tyree 694 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: kill Travis Kelsey one of the best offensive lines in 695 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: the league. I mean, in a in a in a division. 696 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: That's just kind of so so. I mean that was 697 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: Colin's worth made. He's having fun, but he is. But yeah, 698 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: but you know, I didn't think is I think his 699 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: personal the fact that he has to look across the 700 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: field and know that Mitch Durbiskie was picked ahead of him, 701 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: you had to feel some kind of way he was 702 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: in his field is a little bit. He just kind 703 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: of showing off a little troll. I don't mind it, 704 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: all right, I'll get us to our next takeaway here, 705 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: and that is the Seahawks are heading in the wrong direction. 706 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: Second and seven on the twenty one of Seattle empty 707 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: set shotgun sap Murray, looking over the middle, still has 708 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 1: the ball in the pocket, steps up to run, and 709 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: then dumps it off with the left second a catch 710 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: made by fits of the fifteen runs left of the 711 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: ten of the five dives to the end zone touchdown. 712 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: Tyler Murray threw the ball about a fun ahead of him, 713 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald stabbed it and then did the us 714 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: with his fate, scoring a touchdown to get the Cardinals 715 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: the league. Way to go, Larry Fitzgerald one of three 716 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: active players named to the NFL on All Time Team. 717 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: But I gotta talk about Chandler Jones in this game 718 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: because I actually play in a fantasy football league where 719 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: we still use individual defensive players instead of teams. One 720 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: of those and in the championship game, I'm playing against 721 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. I look up, I see he's got like 722 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: ten fantasy points to the first quarter, Like what the 723 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: world is going on? Because I couldn't see that game 724 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: and I end up looking up at the end He's 725 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: got twenty five points, four sacks, six tackles, a force fumble, 726 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: should have had another force fumble. Um. I mean, look, 727 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: Jamarco Jones, fifth rounder out of Ohio State last year. 728 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: Tough game, right going up against Chandler Jones. Boy did 729 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: they miss Dwayne Brown? And look, I know that Chris 730 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: Carson went out with a hip injury, c J. Prosise 731 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: went out with an arm injury. But man, you gotta 732 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: figure out something at left tackle right now because that 733 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: may be the biggest problem, especially now that we've seen 734 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: maybe Marshawn Lynch coming back into the fold here that 735 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: played a big role in DJ just to further illustrate it. 736 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: It hasn't. It hasn't just been because Dwayne Brown has 737 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: been out. Russell Wilson was sacked five times in this game. 738 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: That's the fourth time that's happened since Week ten for 739 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks that he's been sacked five times. So clearly 740 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: something's been brewing with their past protection. Well a lot 741 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: of that too, Russ Russell runs himself into some of those. 742 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: He ran himself into two or three of those sacks 743 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: in that game. So, um, some of that falls on him. 744 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: I will say, George Fan, they've used six linemen a bunch. 745 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they go back and try 746 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: and use that. They use it a lot more last year, 747 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: I believe, uh and studying them last year, so we'll 748 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: probably see some more of that. But Buck, I know 749 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: this is gonna be right in your wheelhouse. So I 750 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,959 Speaker 1: wanted to you up on this because watching this game, 751 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: uh Kenyan Drake for a Buck sixties six and two touchdowns. Um, 752 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: so just think about this. The Miami Dolphins their four 753 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: and eleven, Right, Buck, Let's say, what if they had 754 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl wide receiver? Treated what if they had 755 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl left tackle Larmie Tunsel who they traded. 756 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 1: What if they had a Pro Bowl free safety Minka 757 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick who they traded. What if they had Kenyan Drake, 758 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: who's you know, doing what he's doing all the average 759 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: about five yards to carry? And Ryan, you know the 760 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: highest rated pastor is in the National Football League, it's 761 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. Uh So the Miami Dolphins, they've collected a 762 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: lot of picks, but they don't need to draft good players. Buck, 763 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: They've got a draft Pro Bowl players to replace all 764 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: these guys that they've traded away. Hey, it is funny 765 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: when you say that, DJ, because everyone is fascinated behind 766 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: what's behind door number two. But they let a lot 767 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: of good players go, and I mean for for for 768 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: whatever reason. Uh, it didn't work for them in Miami. 769 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: But look, it is not a shortage of good players 770 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: that they had. I think this thing with Kenyan Drink 771 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: is really fascinating because with David Johnson, um it hadn't 772 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: necessarily popped in his offense. But Kenyan Drake comes in 773 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: and it's becomes a dominant player. He's a free agent 774 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: and now they don't have they will have to pay him. 775 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see how this plays out. 776 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: But Kenyan Drake is explosive in dynamite. And I'll say 777 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: this about Cliff Kingsbury. Cliff Kingsbury has quickly figured out 778 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,399 Speaker 1: the NFL game because what they're doing on offense is problematic. 779 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: And he doesn't even have the A level players that 780 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: he will have when they began to acquire guys specifically 781 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 1: for a system, No doubt. All right, what's what's takeaway? 782 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: Number ten? Buck forty owners office continues to roll Baropolo 783 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 1: and the gun kittled. There was laps when he moster 784 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: to his right and spressed the front. Garoppolo gonna throw 785 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: a deep shot to all. The phone says, got it, 786 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: here we go, Ran Nelson, will Sappen, Wishnowski has a 787 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: down rode the block out the Rams. One dj I 788 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: think you have to evaluate the forty nine is not 789 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: when they have their their A game, but when they 790 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: have kind of like a B B plus game, Because 791 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: this wasn't a vantage Sansisco forty nine as offensive performance, 792 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: but when it mattered, this offense may play. Jimmy Garoffalo 793 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: converted a couple of third long situations that he had 794 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: no business converting the long past that you saw to 795 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: man your Sanders, I mean, are you talking about a 796 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: third and seventeen? Like, why on earth would he ever 797 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: be open on this man? He busted two men, flew 798 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 1: too far to the outside of mansion, just hits it deep. 799 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,439 Speaker 1: But I think if you're the forty Niners, you feel 800 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: good the fact that you're able to win a game 801 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: when you don't have your best you don't have your 802 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: best offensive performance, Jimmy Garoffalo is not playing at an 803 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: a level, and they're able to win. Make some dangerous 804 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: because when they needed it, they guide it. And you 805 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: have to think that Jimmy g can deliver these performances 806 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: again when it matters in the postseason. I still want 807 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: with forty Niners. I like the forty Niners in the 808 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: NFC ret But to me that just a little cause 809 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: of concern. Again, give up over three yards a couple 810 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: of touch down the back end of that defense a 811 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: little bit, man, That's that scares me a little bit. 812 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: With this forty Niners team, Man, if they can go 813 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: somehow go on the road Seattle against a depleted Seahawks 814 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: team and get that done, they'll be sitting there with 815 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: the number one seed and everything will go through them. Yeah. 816 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: I love seeing Jimmy Garoppolo make some big plays hit 817 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: the ends of games here that we've seen in the 818 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: last the last couple of weeks, especially down the Saints 819 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 1: game and then this one the big throw. Look, I 820 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: get Sanders was open. You still gotta make the throw. Uh, 821 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: you still gotta find him and hit him. And I 822 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: think that's that is something that the forty Niners will 823 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: be able to reach back into their pocket in the 824 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: postseason uh and pull out or maybe here in week 825 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: seventeen as we've got maybe the biggest game in the 826 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: season coming down to the final game of the season, 827 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: Game to fifty six, which will feature the Niners and 828 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: Seahawks up in Seattle. Sign me up twice for that one. 829 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: When you think about building a championship culture, what does 830 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: that into you know, the culture at Ohouse State, we've 831 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: built the spilt on love, oh Hi st the greatest 832 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: form of motivation as the brotherhood. Little things like trust 833 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: are huge. I think focus is a great word, and 834 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: I think you have to find guys that come from 835 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: programs that require them to focus. It's about making sure 836 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: they have a great experience and that they win. But 837 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: it's in that order. Key word is being consistent of 838 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: caring about the players, caring about not only football, but 839 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: was going on their moms clearly defined with the missions 840 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: and communicating that on a day to day basis touchdown 841 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: for me, it's making sure that the players understand Number one, 842 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: that you care because I never felt that coached by bad. 843 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: I felt that coached like this game is not determined 844 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: by a computer. The game of football is determined by 845 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: who wants to win.
