1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Mahomes back throws. 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 2: It is equally pick off picked off by the Lions 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 2: by Brands with the left side. He's going, baby, He's 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: going to the house. Touched down to Tod Lions deflected 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: in the air, Branch ran under it, and he took 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: it all the way back. Welcome to the twenty in 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: the Huddle podcast presented by Microsoft. Is week six in 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: the NFL, and the Lions have gotten off to a 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: beautiful four in one start. I am Tim Twentyman. 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: This is PJ. Clark. As we do every week, Let's 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: start with a few news and notes. 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: Peach, I think injuries obviously are our first and foremost 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: when you talk about both clubs, really because the. 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: Story Tampa's dealing with some injuries over there. 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: Now they're coming off the by so they're in a 16 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: pretty good situation in terms of they've had a week 17 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: and a half now to you know, kind of get 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: some guys rested. Mike Evans obviously the big story there 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: with his hamstring misspractice. I think Wednesday and Thursday, so 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: Friday will be a big day for him. But look, 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: Detroit's dealing with some injuries of their own. No Jamiir 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 2: Gibbs no, Brian Branch. You know, Sam Laporta was missing 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: practice on Thursday, and you know we should just know, 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: you know, we're taping this before the injury report comes 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: out Thursday, so you know, we'll see what what the 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: injury report says with Sam, but obviously not good. Hopefully 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: that's just some kind of a non injury or an illness. 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: Or something like that that they're dealing with there. 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: But we'll obviously find out more of that later Thursday. 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: The injuries are the great equalizer, right, It's just kind 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 2: of how this league runs. 32 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: It's not a matter of if, it's when. And look, 33 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: I think the one thing that you. 34 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: Have to be happy about if you're Detroit Lions fans 35 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: is the line's been dealing with this all year and 36 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: they've been able to overcome those injuries. They've had guys 37 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: step in play well, they've been able to kind of 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: maintain and you hope that continues now going into a 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: stretch of you know, three or four games on the 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: road for games, yeah. 41 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: And that's really important. I mean, you're in three getting 42 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: Saint Brown back this so that's a big jolt to 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: the offense. But then if Porta we have no idea 44 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: what the situation is right now, but that that would 45 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 3: be a hit. But you saw what the offense was 46 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 3: able to still keep rolling without Saint Brown last week 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: because of Luporta. Now maybe you're swapping that out, and yeah, 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: is it a better team, it's on the road, better defense. 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 3: All that is certainly true, but definitely, you know, Mike 50 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: Evans not being out there is a big hit to 51 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 3: Tampa as well. 52 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, lines on the road, Like we mentioned, eighty degrees, 53 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: not too I think it's some of the times you've 54 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: gone down to Miami, right and you've been a hundred 55 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 2: degrees in the winter when it's cold here, you've been 56 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: on that other side of the field where. 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Whether they were shaded and you're in the sun. 58 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: I think because of the fact it was eighty degrees 59 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: here in Detroit for the past week before this week, 60 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: I don't think that's as big a deal as maybe 61 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: some some other you know times when you go down 62 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: to the floor and face the humidity and stuff like that. 63 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 2: I think we're close enough to the summer, close enough 64 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: to eighty degree days. Hears it's still early. I don't 65 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: think that's going to be a factor. But look, they're 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 2: three and one. They're playing some really good defense. They've 67 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: got some guys over there, they've got two of the 68 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 2: premiere guys on the outside on offense, and Baker Mayfield's 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: playing some good ball. 70 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: So how about we get into some of these matchups. 71 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 4: All right? 72 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 2: Well, first off, we mentioned one of the guys on 73 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: the outside, Mike Evans versus Cam Sutton, and you know, look, 74 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: Cam Sutton was part of that trio that was brought 75 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: here to be kind of that revamped secondary right now, 76 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: Unfortunately he's the only man standing. Yeah, because of the 77 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: injuries to Cja Gardner Johnson and Emmanuel Moseley last week obviously, 78 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: but look, he's just been steady. You know, he doesn't 79 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: mind coming up and playing the run. He's sticky in coverage, 80 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: he doesn't give up a. 81 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: Lot of big plays. 82 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: He's just kind of the guy that they thought he was. 83 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: And I think it'll be an interesting matchup this week. 84 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: You look at Evans, the only wide receiver in NFL 85 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,279 Speaker 2: history to have a thousand yards in his first nine season. 86 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: The Hall of Famer, I mean, the guy is so 87 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: good looking. 88 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: For his fourth touchdown in a row at home. He 89 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: plays well at Raymond Jane Stadium. 90 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: That's a big matchup. 91 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you're getting exactly what you paid 92 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: for in Camp Sutton right now. Just steady Eddy. You 93 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: needed a kind of a calming presidence at least in 94 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: the secondary there, and you know you gave him that 95 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: that big thirty three million dollar contract, and I think 96 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: you're getting exactly what you're looking for right now. And 97 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: that's big. I mean, he's only been targeted twenty four times. 98 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: Jerry on the other side is thirty seven, so offenses 99 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: are clearly making it a point to go to the 100 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 3: other side of the field a little bit more. 101 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: There. 102 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: Hasn't allowed that many receptions I think sixteen receptions on 103 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: the twenty four targets, which is, you know, a good 104 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: big play in one touchdown, diluting the big plays. He's 105 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: been great. And then you look at Mike Evans, who 106 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 3: you know hasn't run for two weeks now, which is 107 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: definitely a concern and something that you're going to have 108 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: to keep an eye on. Friday is obviously going to 109 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: be the big day there. But Trey Palmer has played 110 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 3: really well there six round pick fastest forty times this 111 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 3: year at the Combine has two touchdowns on the season, 112 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: a little bit of a smaller guy, not the big 113 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 3: jump ball Mike Evans, but still might be an interesting 114 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: matchup there for Camp Sutton if Evans can't go. 115 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: And I think it's it's worth noting here Chris Godwin 116 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: too because that could be a matchup. You see, they 117 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: could switch those guys with sides and matchups and look, 118 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: Chris Godwin is another guy who had a thousand yards 119 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: receiving last year. They were only won of five duels 120 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: in the league with two guys with a thousand dollards. Currently, 121 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: there's only seven duos that have at least twenty catches 122 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: at least two hundred and fifty yards. 123 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: They're one of them. 124 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: So I think Chris Godwin can kind of fit in 125 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: here too as a key matchup. Whenever Cam Sutton and 126 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: Jerry Jacobs are matched up against those two guys, I 127 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: think that's really one of the key matchups in the 128 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: game on Sunday. 129 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're looking at you know, Kate Aughten has 130 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: pretty good numbers this year just by virtue of being 131 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 3: the third option, but he's not an elite tight end 132 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: right now, so you're really looking at who are the 133 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: outside wide receivers. 134 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: What can Godwin do. 135 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 3: Over the middle of the field, and then what can 136 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: Evans do outside? 137 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: Switch it over? 138 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: David Montgomery versus Devin White, and I think we talk 139 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: about guy worth every penny worth the contract he got. Yeah, 140 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: I would say check to David Montgomery as well. I mean, 141 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: guy's got six touchdowns in his first four games. He's 142 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: back to back one hundred yard plus and a touchdown. 143 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: I mean he's been everything Detroit Lions thought he'd be, 144 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: and probably a little bit more. I mean they faced 145 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: him in Chicago. He was elusive, right, he was that 146 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: guy that always made guys miss, partly because he had 147 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: to because of Chicago's you know, offensive line. I think 148 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: it's night and day running behind this line versus Chicago's line. 149 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: And he's been a perfect match. And look, he's gonna 150 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: get a good matchup this week with Devin White. You know, 151 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: since two thousand and nine, the only guy in the 152 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: league with five hundred plus tackles, twenty plus sacks, ten 153 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: plus takeaways. I mean, he's kind of that key cog 154 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: for their defense. And I saw an interview with he 155 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: did on Buccaneers dot Com this week and he said Look, 156 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: this is a week because of this offense, because of 157 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: this run game, to fly around make plays. And he said, 158 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: I got to get fifteen plus tackles this week. And 159 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't put Hi past himcause he's pretty darn good. 160 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: No, and you're gonna get the opportunity. The way the 161 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: Lions want to run the ball, I mean, you're going 162 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: to run the ball fifty times probably the way this 163 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: is going, and somebody's got to be there to make 164 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: the tackles. You got Levonte David as well, and in 165 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: the middle there one of the best linebacking duos in 166 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: the league. You saw what Seattle was able to do 167 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: against the Lions with Jordan Brooks and Bobby Wagner. Got 168 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: a similar type of deal here, an older guy and 169 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: a younger guy a little more. 170 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: Athletic and Devin White. 171 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: But Tampa's allowed on four point nine yards per carry, 172 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: which is when you have an elite nose tackle and 173 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 3: two good linebackers like that is a surprisingly high number. Yeah, 174 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: Montgomery averaged five point seven last week. You got to 175 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: be able to still push the pile and then keep 176 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: that trending in the right direction. 177 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: One thing with that, those numbers a little bit skewed. 178 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: They did play Philadelphia, which is a great running football team. 179 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: Philadelphia had two hundred and one yards on them. There 180 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: are other three opponents seventy nine yards or less. So 181 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: really that was skewed by Philadelphia. But I would put 182 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: to in Philadelphiaan's on a similar level, just in terms 183 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: of the way they can run. The foot Hurts gives 184 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: them a little bit different dynamic from the quarterback position. 185 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: But I think in terms of the offensive line, the 186 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: commitment to the run, how they do it, I think 187 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: Detroit and Philadelphia aren't equal pairing. So you've got to 188 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: look at that as a positive. Say, look what Philadelphia 189 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: was able to go in there and do run the 190 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: ball that many times for two hundred and one yards. 191 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: But other than that, Tampa's been pretty good. So I 192 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: think this will be a. 193 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: Pretty good matchup between Montgomery and White. Can you make 194 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: White miss? 195 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: Can you can you get past that first guy in 196 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: the second. 197 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: Level that then gets you into the third level and 198 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: the big runs like we saw it with this first 199 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: run last week, the forty three yard touchdown. 200 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: We'll take more of those. 201 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: We'll take more of those. 202 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Detroit's defense, and Aiden Hutchinson's 203 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: been terrific. I mean, when you look at Aiden Hutchinson 204 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: compared to the other defensive ends, the edge rushers around 205 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: the league in terms of grays from PFF or Pro 206 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: Football Reference or some of the things, it's j Watt, 207 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: it's Aiden Hutchinson, it's Max Crosby, it's I mean some 208 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: of these elite the elite guys are are He's right 209 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: there in that in that conversation in terms of his 210 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: great and he's been terrific. I mean, he leads the 211 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: NFL pressures with thirty five. He trails Max Crosby by 212 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: just one in terms of pressures. I mean he's had 213 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: a guys like Michael Parsons. 214 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: Is on that list. I mean, he is just played 215 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: at an elite level. 216 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: And look, he's gonna get a guy when he's over 217 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: on the left side, Tristan Wurst, who I think is 218 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: one of the best in the league. But we're gonna 219 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: put Luke Godick in in here or Godecki in in 220 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: this conversation to their right tackle, because as we've seen 221 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: the first five games, hutch is gonna play both sides. 222 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: But I think it'll be really interesting if he ever 223 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: gets matched up on Tristan worse because that's best on best. 224 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: That is that is best on best, that's best, not 225 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: best league. 226 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 3: Why yeah, that's not just like what the Lions have 227 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: to offer versus what Tampa has to offer. That is 228 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: a matchup that everybody is going to be waiting for 229 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: and looking the scene, you know, there were questions coming 230 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: into this year, how is Worf's gonna he played right 231 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 3: tackle for the first four years and how what's gonna 232 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 3: happen now going to the left. Has not missed a 233 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: singular beat, zero total pressures, and that's that's a testament 234 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 3: to Baker getting the ball out and playing the quick game. 235 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: That that's where Baker really excels and and Godwin I 236 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: think has been a godsend for him just over the 237 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: middle of the field, playing those throwing those drags and 238 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: get the ball out early. But Kadeki only one sackle 239 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: out on the on the right side too. But to me, 240 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: that's an offensive line that has been banged up so 241 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: much in the interior. I think as we've seen, Aiden's 242 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: getting a lot of pressures off of stunts and a 243 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 3: lot of action inside where maybe you're putting you know, 244 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: a Romeo Quora on the outside of him shifting him 245 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 3: into five tech three tech. I think we may be 246 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: you know, it could be a week we see maybe 247 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 3: even a little more of that against an injury depleted 248 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: Tampa interior versus two two want elite tackle and he's 249 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: been really. 250 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: Good and Ali McNeil's big for that too, you know, 251 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 2: can he open some things up for the guys on 252 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: the outside by general pressure? We've seen that through the 253 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 2: first four weeks of the season. He's been really good. 254 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: He's tied for his career high with two sacks, already 255 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: five pressures. I think his career high was eleven, so 256 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: he's already on that pace to be an impact player inside. 257 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: But he's good on some of those games too, and 258 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: he obviously affects the guys on the outside, so that's 259 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: something to watch too. But hutcheson verse worst will be 260 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: My eyes will definitely be on. I don't know how 261 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: many times we have seen hutch line up over the 262 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: right tackle and getting good. Decky probably a little bit more. 263 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: But I wanted to put this matchup in here because 264 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: if you do see it on Saturday, it's worth watching. 265 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: Who gets the better of who and I think that 266 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: says a lot about each individual. 267 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 268 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: All right, let's go since we're talking about the interior 269 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: of the defensive line. 270 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, today, they've got a pretty good moment over there. 271 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: They might have the best nose tackling football in Vida 272 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: bay Leason with three and a half sacks. 273 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean, just a guy that terrific. 274 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: But I think if you're gonna counter something like that, 275 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: you've got a pretty good counter in an All Pro, 276 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: all Pro Bowl caliber type player in Frank rag Now, 277 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: and that will be a great matchup in the interior. 278 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: Win Detroit's on offense in Tampa Bays on defense. 279 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Tampa Bay, I mean Todd Bowles likes the blitz, right, 280 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: So you're getting a lot, You're getting an extra man 281 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: on a bunch of snaps, and Jack Barrett is still 282 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: out there and you're seeing what their pass rush can do. 283 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: They have three sacks of game so far. So the Lions, 284 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be you know, another if you're 285 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: getting Omar back, especially, how does the quick game work. 286 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: Do you see a little bit more Khalif Raymond this week? 287 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 3: Just don't let that line get pushed because Todd Bowles 288 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: is gonna send five, He's gonna send six. He loves 289 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: the blitz. He loves to play man coverage. That's what 290 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: you're gonna be looking for. 291 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: And they are. 292 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 3: They've been elite in pass defense this year. I know 293 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: we're gonna get to that in a little bit. But 294 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: they've they've got two good outside corners, they've got good safety, 295 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: he's got they've got a nickel that creates turnovers, so. 296 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: Their linebackers can cover. 297 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: So what are you going to do when Vidavea, probably 298 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: the best nose in the league, is coming right up 299 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: the middle. You gotta be ready for that. And I 300 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 3: think you know, he's been better against the past than 301 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: he has against the run this year, which is a 302 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: little strange not what we've seen from him in the past. 303 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: So I think this is going back to maybe do 304 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: you rely on Montgomery? Can he get to that second 305 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: level and get you some yards that way? 306 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: And potentially know Jonah Jackson this week either, So something 307 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: else to kind of consider when you're talking about that 308 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: matchup on the end tier. But when you just speak 309 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: to Frank specifically, what a heck of a season the 310 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: guy is having. We all know what he's dealing with 311 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: it's chronic. It's never going to get better. I mean 312 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: that toe injury is just everywhere, just gonna be something 313 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: he deals with every single down, every single game. It's 314 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: not going to get better. It's pain tolerance. But to 315 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: still play at a level he's playing no sacks allowed. 316 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 2: I think what one quarterback hit and two pressures help 317 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: the middle for a guy that's dealing with what he's 318 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: dealing with. He's one of the best in the business. 319 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: And again, like we talked about with Hutchinson and worst, 320 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 2: best on best, when they're matched up one on one, 321 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: I don't know how much they'll levy to a one 322 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: on one with Frank Certainly he can handle that, but 323 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: that will be one to certainly circle and watch on 324 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: the interior one of the best centers in the league 325 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: against arguably the best nose tackle. 326 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is this is a big one. 327 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: I mean, on on both sides, you're seeing the development 328 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 3: of the Lions defensive line versus a superstar left tackle. 329 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: And then on the other side, you know, Ivey has 330 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: found something as a pass rusher this year that we 331 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: haven't necessarily seen in the past. He's always been a 332 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: leading against the run and in that upper tier of noses. 333 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: But if he's gonna, you know, on track for double 334 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: digit sacks this year, that's that's a new one that 335 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: he's breaking out. 336 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: But again, Philadelphia was able to contain them a little bit, 337 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: contain him, run the football, very good offensive line, Detroit, 338 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: You're yes, so I think you can take I'm sure 339 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: Detroit put that Philadelphia game on on Loop a lot 340 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: this week to see how they could exploit this defense, 341 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: what they could do, and obviously getting Vita Vay under 342 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: wraps is going to be a big part of that. 343 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: You mentioned it. 344 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: St Brown is back. Tampa Bay has been very good 345 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: against the past. I think one of the reasons why 346 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: is they kind of found a nickel out of nowhere, 347 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: kind of like we talked about with Brian Branch becoming 348 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: just this guy that has now solidified the nickel spot 349 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: and Ben the guy, and you think he's gonna be 350 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: there for a long time. I'm on Ross Saint Brown 351 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: versus Christian eisy in Is I think gonna be a 352 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: good one too. You know a rookie who is a 353 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: safety who kind of just fell into that role because 354 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: of some injuries and some things and has really, you know, 355 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: played well in that spot, seventy nine point eight passer 356 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: rating against. He's got two interceptions on the year. He's 357 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: kind of been that guy in the middle for them, 358 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: and obviously we all know what Saint Brown can do. 359 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: He's been at practice all week, which is a great sign. 360 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: Getting him back is going to be huge. But that's 361 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: going to be an interesting between kind of a young 362 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: guy looking to make a name for himself and a 363 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: guy who's trying to get back in the fold after. 364 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: Missing a game last week dealing with an abdominal injury. 365 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think both sides are going to be targeting 366 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: this one, right Amenad's looking at a rookie across from 367 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: him and thinks, maybe you can get a leg up 368 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 3: and take advantage of that. But then on the buck side, 369 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: you're looking, you know, how can the secondary as a whole? 370 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: He's created two turnovers and he's been good to start 371 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 3: his career. But you're looking, you know, Antoine Winfield, one 372 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: of the better safeties in the league, an elite cover 373 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: guy and elite blitzer. You're gonna see thirty one all 374 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 3: over the field making plays, and you got Carlton Davis 375 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: has been excellent this year. On the outside, you're really 376 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: making sure, you know, how can we control not only 377 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: Amanad Saint Brown, but Josh Brown, Sam Laporta if he's 378 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: out there, whoever the Lions are going to throw at you. 379 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: But you've found something a little bit with with a 380 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: rookie Nickel, and I think that's good and bad coming 381 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: off of by first time getting some rest in the NFL. 382 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: I think I think that's he's gonna be ready to 383 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: go against maybe the top. 384 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: Slot receiver one hundred percent. This is a kind of 385 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: show me game for him. Right where do I stand 386 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: in the league? Am I? 387 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: You know what I think I am? 388 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 3: And it's the guy that you know is gonna get 389 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 3: you know, ten Dorgets. 390 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 2: In a huge game too. I mean it's a four 391 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: to one team versus three and one team. I think 392 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 2: this has implications in the playoffs potentially down the road. 393 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: So it's a huge matchup this week. Those are the 394 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: key matchups. I'm gonna have Scott Smith on from Buccaneers 395 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: dot Com. He's gonna break down everything from the Bucks side. 396 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: I think Josh Reynolds is gonna stop by. He's been 397 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: playing some good, good week, playing some pretty good balls, 398 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: So we're gonna have a chat with him, So stick 399 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: with us. 400 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: We'll have a lot more. 401 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 2: Coming on the twenty Into the Huddle Podcast. Welcome back 402 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: to the twenty in the Huddle Podcast, presented by Microsoft, 403 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: and I'm very happy to welcome in Scott Smith, the 404 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: senior writer and editor over at buccaneers dot com. Scott, 405 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: how you doing, Matt? Thanks for joining me. 406 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 4: I'm doing great. This is like an old NFC Central 407 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 4: throwback for me. 408 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: It is, and it's two teams. Yeah, it's two teams. 409 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: You got the cream sickles going? Are you excited for it? 410 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 2: I like the sweatshirt there. Look at that you're in. 411 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: You're already in the festive mood. 412 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: This week we've been wearing it. 413 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: We've been wearing the orange all week, different rides and 414 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 4: pulling stuff out from my closet from the nineteen nineties. 415 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 4: The whole area is really excited about it, which is bad. 416 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited. 417 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 2: That's to me, is what brings back the old NFC central, Right, 418 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: it's the cream sickle. 419 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, It's like it's like I'm wearing stuff I was 420 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 4: wearing when I was watching Barry Sanders back then. Get 421 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 4: one hundred fifty yards on us every time. 422 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: All right, Well, look it's a great matchup, right, I 423 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 2: mean it's it's a four and one Detroit Lions team 424 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: playing some good football and a Tampa Bay team that's 425 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 2: that's three and one. 426 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: They're only lost. 427 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 2: Being too the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, so they're 428 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: playing good ball too. This could have some playoff implications 429 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: in the NFC down the line, so you know, a 430 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: little a fun Week six matchup between two old rivals, right, 431 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: it's If. 432 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, I believe it's the only game on 433 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 4: this week's slate that pits two first place teams from 434 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 4: different divisions and the only one that has two teams 435 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 4: with one loss viewer, So, I think it is kind 436 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 4: of an early barometer tag game for the NFC hierarchy. 437 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 4: I think everybody would probably say that the Eagles and 438 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 4: forty nine ers are kind of proceved as the top 439 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 4: two teams in the conference right now, but who's next 440 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 4: after that? I mean a lot of people are now 441 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: saying the Lions. Obviously Dallas took a little bit on 442 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 4: a chant against San Francisco, but at some point, maybe 443 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 4: if the Bucks can put together a few more wins, 444 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 4: we could get into that conversation. 445 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, right there with Seattle too. 446 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: I think there's a number of teams kind of right 447 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 2: there in that second tier behind the consensus top two 448 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: maybe can get into that, get into that picture, into 449 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 2: the NFC and Arth. Well, let's start here, Scott. Let's 450 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: start with the injuries. You guys are coming off a 451 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 2: bye week, which players usually like that to be kind 452 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: of mid mid season, but for you guys, you were 453 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: dealing with quite a few injuries there. One was the 454 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: buy a perfect time for you guys this early in 455 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: the season. 456 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: And then probably the. 457 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 2: Big name you know, being talked about in Detroit is 458 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: Mike Evans. Wasn't that practice Wednesday? Wasn't that practice Thursday? 459 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: What's his availability for Sunday? 460 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 4: Well, he is probably going to be a decision at 461 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 4: the end of the week. I think I don't want 462 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 4: to read too much into the fact that he didn't 463 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 4: practice on a Wednesday, because I think the plan all 464 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 4: along was sort of take it easy on him until 465 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 4: the end of the week and then see how it 466 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 4: could do. Because it's a hamstring injury, and you guys 467 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 4: know as well as anybody that those are hard to gauge, 468 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: and you may think you're walking around and feeling fine 469 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 4: and you try to run and then you have a setback. 470 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 4: So I think they're taking the most cautious approach, but 471 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 4: I really do think that they're not going to know 472 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: until Friday or Saturday if he's going to be available. Otherwise, 473 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 4: though the bye week did us good, we had only 474 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 4: him and our starting right tackle Luke Geticky, was a 475 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 4: little limited yesterday. Otherwise everybody was a full participant, including 476 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 4: our first round pick Klijah Canzi, who played eleven snaps 477 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 4: in the season opener and then aggravated his preseason calf 478 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 4: injury and hasn't played. So getting him back would be 479 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 4: huge because they really think the addition of this quicker 480 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 4: type of you know, fast, get off the ball, quicker 481 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 4: type of defensive interior defensive lineman is going to make 482 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 4: a huge difference to what we do because we mostly 483 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 4: have big guys like Vitavea who win with power. So 484 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 4: we think that's gonna be a nice compliment and it's 485 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 4: really gonna really dial up the pressure from the inside. 486 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 4: But we haven't seen much of it. We've seen eleven steps, 487 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 4: so yeah. 488 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 2: I know during the pre draft process, I really liked 489 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 2: Chancy coming out of Pittsburgh. You know, he had those 490 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: comparisons to Aaron Donald, And that will be an interesting 491 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 2: dynamic that teams will have to deal with because you 492 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: look at v Tova three and a half sacks, he's 493 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 2: really upped his you know, pass rush game. He's always 494 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 2: been so good, you know against the run, but but 495 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: you know, now we've seen some of those pressure numbers 496 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: and those sacked numbers. He's been able to push the 497 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 2: pocket and get pressure. Now you add a guy that 498 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: could potentially have that quick first step, that little different dynamic. 499 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: They could play games off each other, that could really 500 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 2: impact the center that that Tampa Bay defense couldn't it. 501 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 4: That's what we're hoping for. And I think with Vita, 502 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 4: the thing about it is, yes, he has three and 503 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 4: a half sacks, and he had a career high six 504 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: and a half last year. But if you look deeper 505 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 4: into the numbers, like on next gen type stuff, when 506 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 4: we have Vita on the field and when we don't 507 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: have Veta on the field, there's a stark difference in 508 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: the yards per carry that we give up in the 509 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 4: yards per play. So he's putting up some numbers. Now 510 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 4: they're maybe catching people's eyes, but even when he's not 511 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 4: getting two sacks in the game, he's really making a 512 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 4: big difference to what we do up front. And with 513 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 4: him in there doing that, you put Cancy in there 514 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 4: and you can't double team them both most of the time. 515 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 4: I think it's gonna I think it's that's the plan, 516 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 4: and that's why he was drafted to get that different 517 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 4: element up front, and we're hoping it's gonna make a 518 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 4: big difference his very When he played against Minnesota in 519 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 4: Week one, on the first drive on just his third 520 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 4: NFL play, he made an awesome rush up the middle 521 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 4: and hit the quarterback Kirk Cousins and caused me an incompletion. 522 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 4: So we see, we've seen what he can do in 523 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 4: a very small dose. 524 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: Well, let's stick on that side of the football, obviously, 525 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: Devin White and Yeah, some of the guys that you've yeah, 526 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: Lam David and Antoine Winfield. I mean, you guys are 527 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: really strong up the center of that defense. You guys 528 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 2: have played well on that side of the ball all 529 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: year long, except maybe the Philadelphia game where it kind 530 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 2: of got away a little bit, especially on the ground, 531 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: But just what's been the biggest thing with you guys 532 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: defensively that's allowed you to play pretty consistent football all 533 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 2: year long. Outside of that Philadelphia game, what I think 534 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: seventy nine yards is the highest any team has has 535 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 2: rushed against you guys. 536 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: So you've got you've been terrific against the past. 537 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 2: What's really been the catalyst you think for you guys 538 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: to play on defense this year? 539 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 4: I think you said his name there, and I'm going 540 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 4: to focus in on one guy, and that's Antoine Winfield Junior. 541 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: I've been predicting for a couple of years that he 542 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 4: has first team All Pro awards in his future, and 543 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 4: I think we're seeing this year. If he continues to 544 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 4: play the way he's played through the first four games, 545 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 4: I think he's got a very good shot at that. 546 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: He's last year, they took him and they made they 547 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: put him in a dual role where he played safety 548 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: in base packages and then he was the slot corner 549 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 4: in nickel packages. And while he was probably our best 550 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 4: option for the slot that year, it really wasn't playing 551 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 4: to his strength. So now he's back playing safety and 552 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 4: we refer to him generally as the free safety, but 553 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 4: he actually plays up around the lion of scrimmage an 554 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 4: awful lot. And Winfield, I mean, he's never put up 555 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 4: big interception totals, but I don't know how many safeties 556 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 4: do as much as he does. I mean, he's he's 557 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: leading our team in tackles, he's leading our team and 558 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 4: force fumbles, fumble recovery's passes defense, and he's even tied 559 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 4: for second in sacks. He's an outstanding blitzer. He's just 560 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 4: got a knack for it, and he's so tough around 561 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 4: the lion of scrimmage that he's a big part of 562 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 4: our run defense. I mean, obviously Levonte and Devin ar 563 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 4: two and Vita Vey upfront, but I think Winfield's the 564 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 4: one that's really kind of putting this defense over the top. 565 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: Right now, let's switch over to the other side of 566 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: the ball. Baker Mayfield. I mean, he's playing some really 567 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 2: good football right now. What makes him such a good fit? 568 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 2: What makes this Bucks offense a good fit for him? 569 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 4: You know, when we signed Baker in the off season, 570 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 4: obviously we were looking for somebody to compete with Kyle Trask, 571 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: to replace the unreplaceable, right I mean, Brady, you don't know. Yeah, 572 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 4: right after Tom Brady, they like, we got a new 573 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: offensive coordinator this year too from Seattle, Dave Canals, and 574 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 4: Dave knew what he wanted to do, and some of 575 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 4: that involves your quarterback moving around a little bit more 576 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 4: than we're used to. You know, Tom Brady's a grace 577 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 4: of all time, and even he would say moving him 578 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 4: around isn't something that's really successful. He's a very much 579 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 4: a pocket passer. We're doing a lot more of putting 580 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 4: our quarterback on move this year. And they thought that 581 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 4: Baker looked good in those types of plays before they signed. 582 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 4: They thought he was a good fit for here. Now 583 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 4: he's come in here, obviously you've seen he's done quite well, 584 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 4: as has Jared Goff, but numbers are actually really similar, 585 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 4: by the way. But he's he's not only been a 586 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 4: good fit for the offense, and everybody's learning the offense together, 587 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 4: so it's not like he came in behind. He's also 588 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 4: been a really good cultural fit. The Buccaneers waited Todd 589 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 4: Bowles didn't want to name. You know how most teams 590 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 4: name their team captains right before the first game. 591 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, I saw that this week. 592 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: It was a little little get caught my eye when 593 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: I saw you tweet that out, and I was like, 594 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: wait a minute, what, Yeah. 595 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: We generally do that as well, But in this case, 596 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 4: just because the way the rosters put together in some 597 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 4: new elements there, Todd Bowles really wanted to wait about 598 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 4: a month and see who actually emerged as leaders before 599 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 4: the players voted, because I like that your quarterback's usually 600 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 4: one of your captains, right if it's not. If it's not, 601 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 4: you're probably not in a great spot at that position. 602 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 4: But would it have been a little bit weird to 603 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 4: name Baker Mayfield a captain before you even played a 604 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 4: single game for us. But you give it a month, 605 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 4: and you see these guys love him. They talk about 606 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 4: him as a leader, They absolutely love the way he's 607 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 4: in locker room and in the huddle, and they're fouling 608 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 4: him already. So then when it's four games in now, 609 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 4: when the players vote, it makes sense to vote for 610 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield and Antoine Winfield. 611 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: And guys like that. 612 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 4: So he's been a great fit for the offense. I 613 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 4: think we're playing to his strengths. I think Dave Canals 614 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 4: purposely wants to have a quarterback friendly system. The way 615 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 4: you might describe a Shanahan offense or an Ave offense. 616 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 4: And he wants Baker to make the easy throats, make 617 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 4: the plays that are there, and then take your shots. 618 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 4: But at the right time and so far he come. 619 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: There and he brings a little swagger to that position. 620 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn talked about that, the defensive coordinator for the Lions, 621 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: talked about that a little bit, how he likes that 622 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 2: in opposing quarterback, he's gonna be him. Baker's always had 623 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: kind of that edge to him, and look, he's playing 624 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 2: good football. I think he brings an attitude to that 625 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: offense and they're playing pretty good and he's got two 626 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: pretty good guys to throw to on the outside and 627 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: Evans and God when that helps any quarterback too, Scott, 628 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: maybe one or two key matchups you look at in 629 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 2: this one as being key. 630 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: To either side, maybe having the edge on Sunday. 631 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 4: Well, I think for us we got to start with 632 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 4: Aiden Hutchinson. Now, I was trying to determine, but I 633 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 4: couldn't figure it out. On next gen where I get 634 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: the impression that your coaches move him around a lot. 635 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 4: But if there's one side or another, he more commonly 636 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 4: rushes from I don't know what that. 637 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: Is, but typically you'll see him versus the right tackle, 638 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 2: maybe a little bit more than the less. But what 639 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 2: they've been doing a lot of now is moving him 640 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 2: inside too. They run a lot of stunts with him. 641 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: They play him inside with some combinations, so they will 642 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: really will rush him all over the place, but mostly 643 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: right and inside versus the left. But I'm sure he'll 644 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: see Tristan Wurs maybe once or twice, which will be 645 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: a fun matchup to watch. 646 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, i'd probably have to go with Luke Getticky. 647 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 648 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 4: Really, he's in his first year starting at right tackle. 649 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 4: He played right tackle in college. Bucks drafting him with 650 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 4: the idea of playing him a guard, tried that first 651 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 4: last year and it really wasn't a It didn't prove 652 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 4: to be a great fit, so they moved him back 653 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 4: to right tackle, and I think they're pretty happy with 654 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 4: what he's been doing so far. But this is probably 655 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 4: the biggest challenge he will have faced yet. We all 656 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 4: know how well Aiden's playing right now for us when 657 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 4: we're on defense, Well, I know that the key for us. 658 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 4: Our coaches always say it, and is happening this year 659 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 4: is to stop the run first, and as you said 660 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 4: in the three wins, we've done a very good job 661 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 4: of that, and then that gives Todd Bowles the opportunity 662 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 4: to do what he likes to do on defense, which 663 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 4: is be very aggressive. I mean, I think we have 664 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 4: the third highest blitz rate in the league, and so 665 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 4: maybe just trying to slow down David Montgomery. I see 666 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 4: Jamiir Gibbs miss game. I don't know if he's playing 667 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 4: this week, but David Montgomery seems to me like he's 668 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 4: playing better now than his years in Chicago. And I 669 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 4: know he's got a lot of yards. He had a 670 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 4: great game last week. So guys like Antoine Winfield and 671 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 4: Devin White slowing him down, I think that'll be key 672 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 4: for us when we're on defense. 673 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a little bit of a kind of 674 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: eye popping situation for David Montgomery, running behind one of 675 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: the top five offensive lines in the league in Detroit 676 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: versus what he's had to deal with in Chicago over 677 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 2: the summers some of the years. 678 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a little night and day for him. 679 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: So I think we're saying the best of David Montgomery 680 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: helped and aided by running behind a very good offensive line. 681 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: That usually helps. All Right, I need a weather report 682 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: from you, Scott. Is cold here, We got into the 683 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 2: forties here in Michigan. What can we expect Sunday? 684 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: Any rain? 685 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 2: Could it get sloppy? Is look good? What's the weather 686 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: report for Sunday? 687 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 4: Well, I'll start by telling you that I'm wearing this 688 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 4: sweatshirt or this I'm taking an off as soon as 689 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 4: i'm done because it is hot. 690 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, keep Bragging's got deep ragging. That's fine. 691 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 4: Actually, Actually, we finally finally cool down a little bit 692 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: this week into like highs of the low eighties. We've 693 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 4: been it's still fun like midsummer until a week or 694 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 4: two ago. 695 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: I can hear the violins in the background. Here takes 696 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: somewhere forty degree. 697 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 4: I take some forty degree evenings right now. I think 698 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 4: that would be nice. It's supposed to be a high 699 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 4: of about eighty on Sunday when we win the game, 700 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 4: and so that would probably be about two or three 701 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 4: in the afternoon, getting kipsuck at four point thirty, so 702 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 4: maybe a little less than that. There's only about a 703 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 4: fifteen percent chance of rain at that time of day, 704 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 4: and they tend to come. It does often rain here 705 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 4: at this time of the year, around four o'clock, but 706 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 4: it usually passes through pretty quickly and the field is 707 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 4: generally in pretty good shape even if it rains just 708 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 4: a little bit, so I don't think we're going to 709 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 4: have weather or field condition issues. And also that's good 710 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 4: because you know, I want to see these two offenses. 711 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: At work, right Yeah, I'm with you. 712 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: It's just it sounds like it's going to be a 713 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 2: good atmosphere, good weather too, good teams that are playing 714 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: some pretty good football right now in a football game 715 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: that could have implications in the NFC down the line. 716 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: So it should be a fun one. 717 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: It's the it's the game of the week this week, 718 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 2: I think deservatively so.
