1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the stacks, DJ, Bucky

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: Rhett with you. As we look back at a I

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: would say, interesting slate of week ten games. Buck, How

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: are you doing today?

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Man? Man, I'm great, I am great. Just getting back

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville. It was a fun field football festival on

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Sunday watching them all to the vikings. So I can't

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: wait to comment all about it.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: No, Indiana have forret today.

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 3: By the way, We're on a byeway next week, so

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: start on a bye week. So yeah, ten and zero.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: Just feeling feeling good and we'll bring that. We'll bring

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: that back ahead of Ohio State week, don't you worry.

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 4: I will say this the if we you know, the

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 4: the late Windows slate needs to take a page out

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 4: of the Early Windows Slate's book. I mean, because well

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: it was kind of a snoozer there with those late

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 4: afternoon games, but the early window we had five of

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: seven games decided by one score and then six if

21
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 4: you go back to the ot thriller in Munich, right

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 4: with the Giants and Panthers and all of a sudden,

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: Bryce Young's a winner and back to back weeks like

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 4: let's go.

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: We've got a week here.

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Boy.

27
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 2: By the way, great incentive for folks to stick around

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: for the end of the show because that'll be the

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: last game we talked about Giants Panthers. Let's start off

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: at the first game we're gonna get into, which is

31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: Detroit Houston the Sunday Night or the Turnover Fest.

32
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Buck.

33
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: I got a chance to the second half of this one.

34
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: I was actually called me when I was driving home

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: and we were talking about all the turnovers that were

36
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: taking place in this game. I mean, I think we

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: start there. It's a gritty, gutty win for the Lions.

38
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: But just your take on all the mishaps in this one.

39
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I'm glad that during my Misseason Awards I

40
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't go too hard for Jered Goff being MVP because

41
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the five interception turnover Fests just kind of crushed that.

42
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: The visual the optics of seeing him turn the ball

43
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: over time and time again certainly won't help him when

44
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: it comes to that, but I think what it does

45
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: for us is it allows us to see how good

46
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: the Lions are. You talk about interceptions from your franchise quarterback.

47
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: And even though one of those was a hail mary,

48
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: most teams can't overcome that. The fact that they were

49
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: able to do it and really do it in resounding

50
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: fashion in the second half. That only speaks about the

51
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: grit and the resiliency and all the toughness that we

52
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: talked about with the Lions, but their ability to bounce back,

53
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: find different ways on offense to create scoring opportunities, and

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: then their defense being able to step it, step up,

55
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and step it up. Man, this team has all the

56
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: makings of being the best team in the league.

57
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again, major credit to them for holding on, right,

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 4: for just holding on every time felt like you know

59
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 4: you might find something. Bang, another turnover happened, and look,

60
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: two of them were tips, right, and one was a

61
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 4: hail mary. But still seeing that number is shocking, right,

62
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: It's shocking to see a quarterback that had been the

63
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: most efficient quarterback in football all of a sudden start

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: turning it over that way. I mean, I think the

65
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: last one was probably the worst one that he was

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: trying to throw to Jamison Williams that ends up getting

67
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 4: caught way downfield.

68
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: But the thing that I'm I'm moost.

69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: Curious about is is where this this Texans offense has gone.

70
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: Where the consistency has gone there? And I get it.

71
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 4: They've had receivers kind of shuffling in and out of

72
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: the lineup. Thought maybe Nico Collins was going to be

73
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: back this week. I couldn't quite get activated with the

74
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 4: hamstring injury. You know, Stephan Diggs now out for the year.

75
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: But I think the one thing that's kind of interesting

76
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: to me is just how much this Texans team needs

77
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: the run game to find success this year, which wasn't

78
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: necessarily the case. I mean, like they got a good

79
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: year at a Devin Singletary year ago. Man Joe Mixon

80
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: was bottled up in this game. Alee McNeil was fantastic

81
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: on the interior, he was in the backfield all day long,

82
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: but they couldn't get Joe Mixon going, and so then

83
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: it just felt like the whole thing was out of sync.

84
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: And CJ.

85
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: Straw was under pressure a bunch as he has been

86
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: this season. So they got to figure some things out

87
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: here on offense for the Houston Texans team.

88
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: This one's for Rhett Buck because Rhett loves it when

89
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: I take lyrics of songs and adapt them to the NFL,

90
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: and I'm watching watch and the cutups from that, and

91
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: all I could think of was, Laremie missed and pass

92
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: pro today.

93
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, J yeah, I gotcha.

94
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean, thank you, thank you. I

95
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: just needed the curus left. You were in high school? Uh?

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: What happened to Laramie Tunsel? Right? This is your team

97
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 2: that you follow, You've got this is the family affair?

98
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 2: What the heck happened to him? He was one of

99
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: the best tackles in the NFL.

100
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: So he's definitely been nicked up this year. I don't

101
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: know how bad it's been. I don't know how much

102
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: of it is is a product of what we're seeing

103
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: out on the field right now. But when your best

104
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: guy is having struggles the way that that Tunsil is,

105
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: it certainly filters through. And they made some changes along

106
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: the offensive line, moved Juice Scrugs over the left guard.

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: And then it made a change at center there.

108
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: Too, So they've had trouble across the board, it's felt

109
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 4: like at different times throughout this season, along the offensive line.

110
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: But that is a that is a that is probably

111
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: the most alarming thing, is right when a player like

112
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 4: that is a big piece of the struggles a mirror

113
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 4: when CJ. Stroud can't just can't you know, can't count

114
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: on it, right, that's trouble.

115
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. But again, Gutsy went I. I

116
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: was glad you guys mentioned the makeup of those interceptions

117
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: as someone who I'm quite certain still holds the San

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: Diego County record for interceptions in one ball game. Six.

119
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're if you're counting at home,

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: how do you have five or six interception games? Here's

121
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: how you have them. You have them as I did,

122
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: which was like an interception on a Hailmary at the

123
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: end of the half, a fourth and fourth and goal

124
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: interception at the end of the game, a couple tips

125
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 2: like they start adding up when all that weird stuff

126
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: starts happening. It wasn't quite as bad when I watch

127
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: the golf cutups as I thought it might be, just

128
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: looking at the stat line. And then he made the

129
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: throws at the end of the game when they needed

130
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: so a big win for the Detroit Lions. Uh, let's

131
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: stay you know, I think about Detroit in the NFC,

132
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: A team that's that's not far behind them on their

133
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: heels is Philly, who's playing really good ball right now

134
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: against the Dallas Cowboys team that I don't know that

135
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 2: we need to spend enough time. I think we already

136
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: had a funeral for them. I don't really care to

137
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: even Yeah.

138
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: Some cowboys on there, misery loves company.

139
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: It's over, So we don't need to talk much on

140
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: that side of it. But I do want to talk

141
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: on the on the Philly side of it, and Buck,

142
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: I'll get over to you on this one. Hurts seven carries,

143
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: fifty six yards, two touchdowns.

144
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

145
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: I just think this is like an underappreciated thing in

146
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 2: the NFL right now. Derrick Henry is the only runner

147
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL with more touchdowns this year than Jalen Hurts.

148
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: He's got ten touchdowns. He's going to put up fifteen

149
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns every single year. And if we're gonna you know,

150
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: you go and look at him. There's third and two

151
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: scramble first down in this game. You know, I just

152
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: get the push push, you get a scramble with Lane

153
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: being able to clear some space for him and gets

154
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: a nice run. They run QB power in the red

155
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: zone like it is a major asset to have a

156
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: quarterback that you can do this with. It feels like

157
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: as a high school coach and when I wanted to

158
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: actually this buck they can kind of play a high

159
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: school brand of football with Jalen Hurts.

160
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: They absolutely can. And I give them credit because Kellen

161
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Moore has I would say, evolved Jalen hurts game even

162
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: more when you think about when he first kind of

163
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: rose to prominence, it was really in the collegiate system.

164
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: They're running quarterback powers and counters and those things. We're

165
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: seeing less of that and more of the traditional pro

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: style offense with a smattering of Jalen Hurst's special plays

167
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: mixed in there. But this offense has so many weapons.

168
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: They have so much firepower. You think about Barkley, the

169
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: two wide receivers on the outside, AJ Brown and Devonte Smith.

170
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Dallas gotta get to control of the middle offensive line.

171
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: They really can win in a variety of ways. And

172
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: I know we've kind of penciled in the Detroit Lions

173
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: as the class of the NFC, but as this team

174
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: is trending, by season's in, we might be talking about

175
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles being the best team in the NFC

176
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and the team that's most likely to challenge in the

177
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl because they have all the piece of theopozzals,

178
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: particularly on offense.

179
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: This is how they did it right, This is this

180
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: was their blueprint two years ago. Right, they were a

181
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: grinded out, I mean, not so grinding. They could still make,

182
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: you know, make their head in the pass game, but

183
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: like they were definitely you know, finding production on the

184
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: ground one hundred and eighty seven yards in this game.

185
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: You know, hert said fifty six of them, as you mentioned, DJ,

186
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: but Saquon.

187
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: Barkley still does his part with sixty six and I

188
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: just feel like that gives them so much more.

189
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: A wider pathway right to victory.

190
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 4: And it just feels like it with these Nick Sirianni

191
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: teams when they found success early in his tenure there

192
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: in Philly, they were a force to be reckoned with

193
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 4: on the ground. Saquon Barkley has brought that back. And

194
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: then Jalen Hurts with that piece. I mean, the fact

195
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: that he's got ten touchdowns this year to count on,

196
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: you know, sixty points from your quarterback on the ground

197
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: over the course of the first ten games is a

198
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: pretty good deal right there. And obviously still a lot

199
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: left to go here, So that piece of it I

200
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: think is big. I think on the flip side, you know,

201
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: also coming back to you on this DJ with the Cowboys,

202
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: you know, Michael Parsons, you know you had the Ceedee

203
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: Lambs Sunshine issue with the windows. You had Michael Parsons

204
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 4: kind of saying, you know, I played for Zach Martin,

205
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: not necessarily for Mike McCarthy. I know, we're not gonna

206
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: spend a lot of time on the Cowboys.

207
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: Man.

208
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: It is like everywhere you look, there's a problem, quarterback, problem,

209
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: head coach, problem, star players, you know, with comments that way.

210
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, problem, Yeah. I don't know how you come back

211
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: from that.

212
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: Well.

213
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: I was just brought back to a conversation I had

214
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: just kind of milling around the team out there at

215
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: training camp and talking to some folks, you know, some

216
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: inside the organization and others just that are dialed in

217
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: with the team out of training camp, and a theme

218
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: kind of emerged because if you remember, at that time,

219
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: we have no Dak Prescott deal, Ceedee Lamb's not there,

220
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: and then there's the Mica contract that's kind of looming,

221
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: and it came up in conversation with everyone. It was

222
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: pretty consistent they'll get Dack done. That'll happen. They're not

223
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: going to let Dak leave. He'll get that done. Ceedee lamb.

224
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: That's that's just a matter of time. They'll figure that out.

225
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: And Micah Parsons I got a lot of that's interesting.

226
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: I will see. We'll see on that one, you know.

227
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: And I was just kind of like, I mean, this

228
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: is a darn good player, but I don't know, you know,

229
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: it's it's it's getting to the point now where where

230
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: this team is this year, they have to make the

231
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: decision and and Buck, you can put a bow on

232
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: this for us, and I think that we would all

233
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: agree it's probably going to be it for Mike McCarthy

234
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 2: after this year's over. That's why I don't really want

235
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: to spend much time on what you know, players and

236
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: Mike or wherever. Think of Mike McCarthy. I think that's over.

237
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: But what is going to be the next step for

238
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: them is what's the real Cowboys? Is it the team

239
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: that's that's had these twelve win seasons or did they

240
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: fall off the cliff? And this is where they are

241
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: in reality right now? This team, So are we going

242
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: to sell off some assets and maybe try and go

243
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: to the bottom to get back up to the time.

244
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: Are we just are we going to be arrogant and

245
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: say we're the Dallas Cowboys. We don't ever do that,

246
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: and we're just gonna pretend everything's fine. We get right

247
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: back up to being a double digit winning team next

248
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: year with a different coach. I mean, that's the decision

249
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: they've got to make. Buck.

250
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the decision they have to make is not only

251
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: like personnel wise, I think before you even do that,

252
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: I think you got to figure out what is the

253
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: culture of this team. And I know that's the buzzword

254
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that people get tired of. It is thrown out there.

255
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: But honestly, Michael Parsons gave exhibit A on bad culture

256
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: because some of those comments they should be internal. They

257
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: should never hit our ears when you're talking about what

258
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: you think about your coach, what you think about winning

259
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: for your teammates, and those things. Because what he did

260
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: is he basically just smudged all the things that Mike

261
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: McCarthy has accomplished throughout his career. In his time in Dallas.

262
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: You talked about three twelve wins seasons DJ last year.

263
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: We can go back and look, they probably overachieved to

264
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: get the twelve wins and we can talk about the

265
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: debacle that was the playoffs. I don't know how good

266
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: this team is, but for Micah Parsons, the big thing

267
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: is when the next coach or the next whoever's in

268
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: charge comes in, they gotta determine is the juice worth

269
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: the squeeze. He's a phenomenal player, but he's also, in

270
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: my mind, a distracted player when you think about the

271
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: podcast and all the other stuff that's kind of around him.

272
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: Everybody loves the personality. Everybody can respect outspokenness, but when

273
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: it comes at the expense of the team, it's problematic.

274
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have to decide who they are and they

275
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: have to build it from inside out. When it comes

276
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: to the culture, then find the players that fit that.

277
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if number eleven is a big fit. I

278
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: love the production. I just don't know if it's some

279
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: stuff you can build around.

280
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna get to I'm gonna tease the conversation

281
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna have coming up a little bit later on,

282
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: because I do. We're gonna look at one team that's

283
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: got a collective pass rush, and it got me thinking,

284
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: and it's an interesting conversation, talk about these elite, elite,

285
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: elite guys, these elite individual players. A lot of teams

286
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: in this league are winning with a collection of good

287
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: and not an individual great. I want to have that

288
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 2: conversation later, which you know, we'll kind of pick up

289
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: where we left off here. All right, let's flush this conversation.

290
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: Let's get to another game here with them, since and

291
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 2: the new coach.

292
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: I know where you're going.

293
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: I decide what we're talking about. I don't want to

294
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: talk about that. I had too. Twenty to seventeen the

295
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: Saints team that I had seen in person, that will

296
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: look terrible. I mean, I've seen some bad teams this

297
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: year in person, and I'm sure Bucky has as well.

298
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: But uh man, that's that's a good win for them

299
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: against the Atlanta Falcons twenty to seventeen. Derek Carr as

300
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: an efficient day, plays well, they get Darren Rizzio wins,

301
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: so good, good story for him, good for for that team,

302
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: that organization. After you know, kind of what's been a

303
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: tumultuous a few weeks here as they've been playing some

304
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: some rough ball RTT. I want to get to you

305
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: on the Saints side of things. But before we do that,

306
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you my first saucy now

307
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: a right, ready, we're ready for a saucy no, yeah yeah.

308
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons, guys, what is the same conversation we have

309
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: with this team every single spring we do draft shows together.

310
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 2: We've been doing them together for us forever. We have

311
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: passh okay, okas, I'm just curious, curious and this one

312
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: buck They had zero sacks in this game. Oh okay, interesting,

313
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: how are you out this year? Nine? Oh, they've got

314
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: nine sacks and we're in week ten of the season.

315
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Grady Jarrett Rhett is leading them with two and a

316
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: half sacks. Matt Judon has one and a half. It

317
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: is amazing to me. This might be the I don't

318
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: know if a team that's had a specific issue non

319
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: quarterback related, that they have been unable to solve, like

320
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons in this past rush. It is bizarre

321
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: to me that they can't figure that out.

322
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: Rhet that's right. What was it two years ago?

323
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: Went and got Arnold Wakatie out of Penn State in

324
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: the second round. Man, you gotta go back to Vic Beasley.

325
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 4: You know who has a one year wonder out of

326
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: Clenson as a first round pick. Was that almost ten

327
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: years ago now, and it's been a problem ever since.

328
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: And I mean, look, give the credit for going trying

329
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: to go get met Judon and make happened. I mean,

330
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: they clearly understand the problem. But there needs to be

331
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: a you know, a bigger fixed there, right. I mean

332
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: I think you know, you could obviously look at this

333
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: year's draft and say, yeah, sure Jared Verse would have helped,

334
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: or sure Dallas Turner might have helped, or maybe lay

335
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 4: out to a lot too, but you know, on yeah,

336
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 4: but keep.

337
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: Moving on on that one.

338
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: But they decided to go, you know, for the future

339
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 4: a quarterback, and certainly understand that that line.

340
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: Of thinking as well.

341
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: But for the present day Atlanta Falcons, pass rush is

342
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 4: vital to them staying in the tournament, getting into the

343
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: tournament and staying there and having a run Like it's

344
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: just not gonna have it. If you can allow you know,

345
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: Derek Carr to sit back there and find Mark Weisvaldez

346
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: canting twice for touchdowns relatively unfettered, that that's just I

347
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: don't know, I mean, you can't find it now, right,

348
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: I mean we're gonna have to be talking about this

349
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: again this spring.

350
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one thing that we can count on. Like

351
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: the first in the fifteenth we go ahead to talk

352
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: about that Falcons searching for a pass rush because this

353
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: is what they're able to do, and it really doesn't

354
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: matter how they try and fix it, reagency, the draft, trade,

355
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: whatever it is, they haven't been able to get it done.

356
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: But man, it's the most important part. When we talk

357
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: about team building, we talk about quarterback, do we talk

358
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: about pass rush, and you got to be able to

359
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: throw it. You got to be able to close games out.

360
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: Their inability to close games out with the pass rush

361
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: has kept them from achieving what many would say is

362
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: like a high sealing potential. I don't know where they

363
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: go because Matt Juni can do so much, but nine

364
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: sacks ten games that that's not good enough to get

365
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: it done. And it'll never be good enough to get

366
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: it done if you can't get back again.

367
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: We You know, it's interesting too when you look at

368
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 4: that because they also drafted Zach Harrison right out of

369
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: Ohio State, who was a very highly recruited kid up

370
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: at Ohio State. Never quite lived up to the billing

371
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: as one of like the next edge rusher, Bucky. You

372
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: talk about this a lot like sack production in college

373
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: generally translates. Well, when you don't have sack production in college,

374
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 4: you wonder does that also then translate. I mean, because

375
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 4: I don't know that we've seen it there from that

376
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 4: side either. That That's just one of those things to

377
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: think about when we continue to evaluate players going into

378
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 4: the draft this year.

379
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's I mean, death tax is in

380
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: a spring talking about the Atlanta Falcons looking for a.

381
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Draft though it makes it easy.

382
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: They're not going to take one. They're not going to

383
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: take one, but put one in there and look at comments.

384
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: Look at the comments in that mock draft aren't either

385
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: like they're not taking it. They'll never they won't do anyways. Anyways,

386
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: we're getting I just need to get the first one.

387
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 2: The spring is the spring is a little bit off.

388
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: Let's not get too carried away, all right, We've got

389
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: plenty more to get to here. Let's be patient, let's

390
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: pace ourselves. And that seems to be the theme for

391
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know how, I just

392
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: they find a way, They find a way to make

393
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: a play the other team finds a way to not

394
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: make play, but it is. It's pretty remarkable the way

395
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: they were able to get to the finish line in

396
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: this game sixteen to fourteen, A game that almost felt like,

397
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: you know, keeping an eye on it. I was at

398
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: the Charger game, put an eye on that game. I

399
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: felt like, gosh, it looks like the whole game was

400
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: being played on the chief side of the field. Like

401
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: the Broncos were kind of dominating the game, but you

402
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: got to kick to win it, and they can't protect,

403
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs make a play block to kick and

404
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 2: they go on to win the football game. But Buck,

405
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess the simplest way is winners win,

406
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: losers lose. I mean, that's I don't know how else

407
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: to describe that one.

408
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: Look at you sounded like fifty I love it. Yeah.

409
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: It Ultimately, winners do find ways to win. And the

410
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Cansita Chiefs have been in voted by the fact that

411
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: they've gone back to back, they've won three out of four.

412
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: They know that if they play to the end, typically

413
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: the other team implows and to me is very reminiscent

414
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: of the pages and how the Patriots dominated for twenty years.

415
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: It wasn't so much today made these exceptional plays is

416
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: they were able to be consistent, and their consistent performance

417
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: eventually translates to success. Great play at the end, though,

418
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at this play and the

419
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: way it was broken down and how they created a

420
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: two on one opportunity on the end, not the wing,

421
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: but to go through there. It's the execution of things

422
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: that they've probably been working on since training camp, but

423
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: just doing them when it mattered the most. Just great resiliency,

424
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: great belief, great confidence. And here's the crazy thing, the

425
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: more that they pulled this off, the more that the

426
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: rest of the team is looking over their shoulder at

427
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: the end of the games waiting for them to make

428
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: a play. There's something mystical and magical about what the

429
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs are doing, and other teams only feed

430
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: into it because they can't believe that this team is

431
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: always right there.

432
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, finding ways to win I think

433
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: is obviously the key phrase here for the Kansas City Chiefs.

434
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: I mean, they're down right, they're down fourteen to three

435
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: in the second quarter, are going into the half, or rather,

436
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: you know, as they come out of the second quarter there,

437
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 4: and so like when you look at it, you look

438
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 4: at the way in which they're finding, you know, ways

439
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: to win it. Yes, Patrick Mahomes connected with Travis Kelce

440
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: seventy six touchdown ties Tony Gonzalez most all time franchise distrue,

441
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: but then missed, you know, on a chance to go

442
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 4: up by a touchdown at the end of the game,

443
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: in which allowed the Broncos the opportunity to come down

444
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: and kickwoo would have been a game winning field goal.

445
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 3: But again, like they held the Broncos scoreless.

446
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: In the second half, this team just plays complimentary football

447
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: and like we talk about that a lot offense. Defense,

448
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 4: you throw special teams in there when you're blocking kicks

449
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: that way, man, especially chip shots.

450
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 3: Like that thirty five yarders glorified extra point.

451
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: So I just think, you know, yeah, you do understand

452
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 4: what it takes to win football games. This team knows

453
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: that better than anybody, and they keep showing up and

454
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: showing you know that there are numerous ways that they

455
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 4: can do it, and credit to them, and you know

456
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: they'll keep it rolling, you know, until somebody could find

457
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: a way.

458
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 3: But right now, man, the Chiefs team is pretty dam impressive.

459
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: Now We've made those comps with the early Patriots Super

460
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Bowl teams with this version of the Chiefs like a bunch.

461
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: So you have twenty eight completions for Mahomes in this game,

462
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 2: twenty to running backs and tight ends, twenty at the

463
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: twenty eight the tight ends and running backs like it

464
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: is a check down fest. It is a you know

465
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: play it for you know field position, and it is

466
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: bizarre how this team is doing it. I mean, I

467
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: give Andy Reid all the credit in the world. He's

468
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: not chasing stats, he's chasing wins, and they're figuring out

469
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: a formula to get it done. I do want to

470
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: give bo Nick some love on the other side of it.

471
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: Went through and watched him this morning and on the

472
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: heels and we'll get to the Chicago mess in a

473
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: little bit. But you know, watching that back to back

474
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: with with Caleb Williams, there's a confidence in trusting what

475
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: he's seeing with Bonix, and I think he's in a

476
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: good place With Sean Payton, He's attacking when he can attack.

477
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: There's his feeder in the ground. He doesn't look as

478
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: jittery as when I saw him in person a month ago.

479
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: He's getting more confident and more comfortable, and the ball's

480
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: coming out well and he's making plays, so I'd be encouraged.

481
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: I know they're five and five and disappointed they didn't

482
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: get that kick to win this game, But on a

483
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: big picture scale, I think you're seeing Bonnix just get

484
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: better and better, which is a great sign for Denver

485
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 2: and it's a great sign for their future. So some

486
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: good news there for the Denver Broncos. Let's keep going

487
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: through the AFC. If we're going to have the Chiefs

488
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: is the favorite right now, I think Buffalo's right behind them. Guys.

489
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo gets a win over Indy Buckets thirty to twenty.

490
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: It's the best start to season since nineteen ninety three.

491
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: Were you on that team? You weren't on that team,

492
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: buck What year were you there?

493
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: It was you before he got the ninety four four.

494
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 2: Yes, I knew I was right around your time. I

495
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: know that I was right around your time. But this

496
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 2: is where I want to have this discussion. We can

497
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: get into this game if you want to, but I

498
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: thought this was a more fascinating discussion. I was going

499
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: through and watching all their pressures this morning. Von Miller

500
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: is doing his thing you've got Oliver on the inside.

501
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: He's getting pressure. Greg Orusso is playing his butt off.

502
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's got maybe five and a

503
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 2: half sacks or some of his pressure reel every week.

504
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: He's just getting all kinds of pressure. Epanessa has been

505
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: really good. Da Kwan Jones was getting some pressure inside.

506
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: And that's where what I was alluding to earlier, Buck,

507
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: which is, you know, I see Max Crosby's unbelievable, but

508
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: their team's not very good right now. Miles Garrett is

509
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 2: a freak. Their team's not very good right now. But

510
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: when I look at teams like Kansas City and not,

511
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: Chris Jones is great, but that is a still they

512
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: all kind of do their part in that front with

513
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: those guys you think about here with the Buffalo Bills,

514
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: all those names that I just mentioned Detroit now, especially

515
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 2: without Aiden Hutchinson there, that's going to be a collective

516
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: group effort. You can look around at a lot of

517
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: these top teams. The Philadelphia Eagles have just a bunch

518
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: of different guys that can kind of win inside and outside.

519
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: There's no like central focal point is what I'm getting at,

520
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: And I just wonder if it's like we used to

521
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: say with the offensive line, you're as strong as your

522
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 2: weakest link. You'd rather have five goods than you know,

523
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: one great, a couple of averages in a bad I

524
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: think we could almost almost have that same conversation on

525
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: the defensive front right now.

526
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it sounds like you would rather have a

527
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: bunch of b's and B pluses than one A or

528
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: A plus on that front line. And what the Buffalo

529
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: Bills are doing is they are wearing you down in waves.

530
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: And it's funny because it's not only them you talked

531
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: about some of the other teams. I think it was

532
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: also probably some of the motivation for the Pittsburgh still

533
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: is to go and get Preston Smith to complete a

534
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: rotation that they had. I mean, and that's not like

535
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: that like TJ.

536
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 2: Watt's unbelievable, But that's Cam Hayward, that's TJ. Watt, that's

537
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: high Smith. Now you throw it like yeah, like these

538
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: teams that are good have more than one guy that

539
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: can do it.

540
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they have more than one pitch of the thing.

541
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: And so the Buffalo Bills are interesting because I think

542
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: they've leaned all the way into the blue collar mentality

543
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: of the city. This is a blue collar team. Sean

544
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: McDermott back against the wall, people were talking about, hey, man,

545
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: if they don't get this done, like, hey, how much

546
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: longer on this McDermott thing. And I think they've just

547
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: put the nose to the grindstone, found a way to

548
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: just outwork and wear people down. And here you are

549
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: talking about the Buffalo Bills, putting them their best record

550
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: since ninety three. Nobody had this on the BEINGO card

551
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: that the Bills would be this good. But pass off

552
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: to them, and you're right, this black Commedy situation with

553
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: their pass rush has certainly helped him become one the

554
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: dominant teams in the AFC.

555
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 3: And then just taking a quick look at what the

556
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: Colts are doing.

557
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: You know, the Texans keep are keeping the teams in

558
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: it right there, and the keeping the Colts in it

559
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: in the AFC South. You know, the Colts are sitting

560
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 4: there four and six, they're only two games back. But

561
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 4: at what point are you going to look at this

562
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: thing and say, Okay, you know, Joe Flacco is not

563
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 4: giving us what we thought he was going to give us,

564
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 4: and how long can we stick with that? And now

565
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: we're YoY going back and forth quarterbacks here and in

566
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: a way in which we have a chance to be

567
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: competitive and find ourselves in a playoff spot.

568
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: But we're kind of going back and forth on the quarterback.

569
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: Look there, there's team commit at least until Shane Stiken

570
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: says so that Joe Flacco is going to be the quarterback.

571
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: I mean, are you confident that they can get it

572
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 4: turned around? You know, helping Michael Pittman's back out there.

573
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 4: You know they can get some guys healthy there too.

574
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 4: But man, you can't keep turning and over and expect

575
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: to stay competitive as you go down the stretch here.

576
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't they been swept by Houston?

577
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: And I make that up.

578
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: The Colts. Have they played them twice already or just

579
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: once already? Yeah, they were, they were swept. They got

580
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: swept by them. So that's a three game lead, So

581
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 2: it's they still got a long way to a long

582
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: way to guns with that. To put it to kind

583
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: of put a bow though, I'll give you a little

584
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 2: saucy nug to wrap up a buffalo INDI here we

585
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: talked about earlier. The Falcons have nine sacks this season.

586
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: The Bills have twelve players with at least a sack.

587
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's uh, that's pretty nuts. They are

588
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: getting home with a lot of different players, so they're

589
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: doing a great job as a collective pass. Rush Buck.

590
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: You you mentioned there with Pittsburgh Washington, uh, talking about

591
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: the Steelers things, Rhett, is there anything you would add

592
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: on this game that, you know, look, the Steelers end

593
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: up getting a twenty eight twenty seven win, anything else

594
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: besides obviously what we're talking about.

595
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Right, Tomlin cooking, like Tomlin cooking, I mean, like just

596
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: you know, obviously the decision to put Russell Wilson in

597
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 4: while your team was winning, you know, obviously still looms large.

598
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 4: He's undefeated as a starting quarterback. The one thing that

599
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: we talked about here on the move the sticks pod,

600
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 4: right was you know, the moon ball from Russell to

601
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: Mike Williams. And sure enough his first catches a Steelers

602
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 4: exactly in Morner in.

603
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 3: A big in a big spot for Pittsburgh. I mean,

604
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 3: take your victory lap on that one. But there it is.

605
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 4: Bang, you know, got that done. And then you know,

606
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 4: like I loved his response to to all right, were

607
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: you really going to go for it on fourth? And

608
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 4: one at the end of the game. I guess we'll

609
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: never know.

610
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

611
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 4: I mean, that was you know, that was a you know,

612
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: a head coach saying, hey, let's give it a shot. Man,

613
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 4: let's just go try to draw them off sides. If

614
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 4: it doesn't work, fine, we'll punt it away whatever. But

615
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: then it does work. And Neil vegga genius and poor

616
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: rookie Jerson Newton, you know, that's a tough one. That's

617
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 4: a tough spot. He knew right away, obviously everybody did.

618
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: They're all laughing the Steelers like.

619
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: We got it.

620
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 3: I think they might have gone for it. I don't know.

621
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: I just this Steelers team feels like, you know, they're

622
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: they're almost like they're a little bit less explosive, but

623
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: they're kind of like the AFC version of the Lions.

624
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: You know, They've got some of that grit to it,

625
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 4: some of that toughness. They find ways to win there

626
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: and they're getting it done. So credit to Mike Tomlin.

627
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, credit to Mike Tomlin. But let's credit him for

628
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback decision that all of us were like, man,

629
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: why change it was such a good thing. Going with

630
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: Justin Fields but Russell Wilson has already and I saw

631
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: this like I mean, it won't be a saucy nug,

632
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: but I put it out there. They're already saying that

633
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has more touchdown passes than any quarterback it

634
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: has been Roethlisberger retired in three games, he has more

635
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: than every other quarterback that is played a position. But

636
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: the stillers is big Ben retired. That's bananas in three

637
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: games that he's already done that. And when you look

638
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: at the Stellers offense with him at quarterback, the deep

639
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: ball has come back. I see a happier George Pickens,

640
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: I see Mike Williams making dramatic catches, and it's opened

641
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: up this offense in a way that it wasn't wide

642
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: open with Justin Fields. Credit to Mike Tomlin for being

643
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: a coach who was not afraid to step into I

644
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: would say a controversial decision, but it appears that has

645
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: made his team a team that went from being a

646
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: playoff contender. Maybe they're able to push and go a

647
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: little deeper into postseason because they got a quarterback they

648
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: can close games out in the fourth quarter.

649
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: Somebody that has that has more time can go through

650
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: this whole thing. But it would be fun to compare

651
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: this iteration of the Steelers to the old one, because

652
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm already thinking, off the top of my head, you've

653
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: got big Ben, little Russ, so we can start right there.

654
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 2: You can also that come with You've got you've got

655
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: angry Harrison, happy Watt. Like there's there's a there's like

656
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: a lot of guys at these same positions that might

657
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: come in different shape, sizes, personalities, but they're all like

658
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 2: the DNA is still the same. It was what we

659
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: said about was what we said about with Russ when

660
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: he went to Pittsburgh, was like, yeah, this is this

661
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: is when they're good. It's it's it's a defense, it's

662
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: controlling the game and then when Ben needs to make

663
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: two or three Ben plays, he makes those plays, but

664
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: win the game. This is what's exactly what Russ is doing.

665
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: It's the exact same formula for those great Steeler teams.

666
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody I mean, I know people

667
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: have talked about the quarterback thing, but I just feel

668
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: like we're talking about Super Bowl contenders and who are

669
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: the top teams? Like I don't even think people even

670
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: mention this team, and I know when I've saw him,

671
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: I saw him up close in seeing them in person

672
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: this year. I buck have the Jags played the Steelers

673
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: this year?

674
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: Uh No, thank good? Okay.

675
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just telling you when you go out

676
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: there and then you look onto the field and you

677
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: see high Smith, and then you see T. J. Watt,

678
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: and then you see Cam Hayward and then they've got

679
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: her big like they're they're a count of bent. Was

680
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: their nightmare to block man?

681
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: Like?

682
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: They are really good up front.

683
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the thing about the still is they

684
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: know who they are now, and I think and knowing

685
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: who they are, they understand how to play to their identity.

686
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: And it's that pretty. It's not sexy, it doesn't get

687
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: a lot of clicks, but it's one of the ways

688
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: that they are able to consistently win. They play to

689
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: their strengths and they don't worry about what it looks

690
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: like on the outside.

691
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's one hundred percent of who they are.

692
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: All right, Let's let's swing back over to the NFC

693
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: San Francisco Tampa Bay A good game, right was referencing

694
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: all these good games earlier in that early early window

695
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: here twenty three to twenty the Niners end up getting

696
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: a win. Now, look, I think you can find a

697
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: lot to be encouraged about both sides of this thing.

698
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: But I would think we buck don't. We have to

699
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: give brock Purty some love first and foremost with the

700
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: way he played in this ball game.

701
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you have to give him love because even though

702
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: you know the return of CMC is going to be celebrated,

703
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: and some other things that you talked about in the game,

704
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: rock Purdy being able to kind of shake off some

705
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: questionable performances of Lady to be able to play the

706
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: way that he played. You talk about this guy being

707
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: able to do it because everyone always thinks it's the

708
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: supporting cast. It really makes him. But I think we

709
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge that Brock Pardy has some special stuff

710
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: that worked within this offense, and when he plays the

711
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: way that he played, this team can hang with anybody. Now,

712
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: they got to fix the kicking situation because they can't

713
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: keep missing multiple field goals and think that they're gonna

714
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: win games. We also don't wanted to keep missing so

715
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Debo isn't throat playing long snapper. But if they can

716
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: get that part together, the San Francisco forty nine and

717
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: certainly our formidable foe if you have to face him

718
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: in the early rounds of the playoffs.

719
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: I think that throw is my favorite that we just

720
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 4: saw down to Christian McCaffrey on the right sideline. There

721
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: was just kind of rusher in his face, a little

722
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: bit off balance. That's what those are, the kind of

723
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: throws that make you go with Brock Purdy like, Okay, yeah, no,

724
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: this is not just you know, wind him up in

725
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 4: this offense and let him go like he is he

726
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: is autonomous or you know, he not autonomous. He's able

727
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: to kind of make some of these decisions, make these throws,

728
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: these big.

729
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: Time plays on his own. He got to give him

730
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: credit for that.

731
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 4: But the kicking thing was interesting to me, right, you know,

732
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 4: none of these kicks were gimmis or not none of them,

733
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: but most of them were, you know, deeper kicks in

734
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: the forties fifty missed three of them. He was two

735
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 4: for five when they sent him back out for the

736
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: game winner, which was Jake Moody's.

737
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: Sixth field goal of the day.

738
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: And right before that, it was Debo there it is

739
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: gonna yelling, hey, what are we doing? Here, like let's

740
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: stop missing field goals and Taper Pepper the long snappers

741
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: like you get talking to us that way like we're

742
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: all due, we can here, we're trying to make it

743
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: and maybe inadvertently that ended up refocusing the specialist outfie.

744
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 3: Look at Debot take it two for one right there.

745
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 4: Moody kind of caught the shrapnel off Pepper Pepper's chin,

746
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: but you look it ended o moregon.

747
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: I think they're no worse for the wear with it.

748
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: And as Kyle Shanahan said, we'll go back to loving

749
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 4: each other, you know when we get when we land,

750
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: and if it's not already fixed, you know, now I'll

751
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 4: go fix it on the plane. So I think this

752
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: is kind of an interesting, you know, moment of reckoning

753
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: for for the forty nine ers. They get McCaffrey back,

754
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 4: they overcome some adversity, Purdy has a really nice game,

755
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: and now let's see where this thing takes them in

756
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 4: a very wild NFC West right Buck.

757
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but Antoine Randall

758
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: l which took a swipe at htt for him not

759
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: having a perfect hold, you know, like that was that

760
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 2: was one of the more one of more legendary plays

761
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: in Indiana history before they want to this pain run

762
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: right now?

763
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, not not quite, not your area. It

764
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: was I was, I was. I was red shirting at

765
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 3: that point.

766
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 4: So I was on the sideline watching Antoine Randall l

767
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 4: juke everybody out of their socks.

768
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: H They don't put up with that stuff with the

769
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: specialist man. They don't know. You guys are not that

770
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 2: practice the whole time. I mean, it's just, you know,

771
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: it drives people nuts a little bit with that stuff.

772
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: All right, well, there you go. That's a big win

773
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: there for Jake Moody and the forty nine ers. All right, guys,

774
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 2: New England Chicago. Two rookie quarterbacks, two quarterbacks headed in

775
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: the opposite direction. Drake May was excellent in this game.

776
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: The numbers don't blow you away. Fifteen to twenty five

777
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 2: a buck eighty four with touchdown a pick, but really

778
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: really made some big plays, showed poise, showed command. I

779
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: just thought he looked like he's, you know, just continue

780
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 2: to get better and better. Kayleb Williams sixteen for thirty

781
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: a buck twenty and I want to start. Let's start

782
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: on the Caleb side of things and we'll turn around

783
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: and we'll give Drake his his love. I tweeted this

784
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: out and Buck, I'll get your thoughts on it, but

785
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: this was my This was my tweet that I fired

786
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: off after I watched this stuff this morning. Biggest issue

787
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: for Caleb Williams right now. He's playing tentative, he's not

788
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: cutting it loose, he's trying too hard to avoid mistakes,

789
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: and he's guiding the football. It's almost like it's been

790
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: beat into him. Don't screw up. This ol isn't good.

791
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: But that's a bigger problem right now.

792
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, DJ, It's one of the things that

793
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: I think too offense happens. We draft players and then

794
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: we're trying to change them from who they are. Hyley

795
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: Williams was always going to be a high risk player

796
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: based on how you played at USC and the success

797
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: that he's had. What you try to get him to

798
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: do is to play with that same mindset, but just

799
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: to make smarter decisions where you just don't make the

800
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: egregious errors. But if you try to take someone who

801
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: was a gunslinger like that and make him a game manager,

802
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: you take away all of the special qualities that made

803
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: them the number one overall pick. Now, some people will say, man,

804
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you have a defensive minded head

805
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: coach that is in charge of a number one overall pick.

806
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's that. I think it's a

807
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: conversation within the building. At some point, he has to

808
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: understand where the boundaries are and you have to live

809
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: through some of those mistakes to get to the other side.

810
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: And for Kayleb Williams, you hope today able to do

811
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: it with this regime, but it may be someone else

812
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: who comes in there who teaches him how to toe

813
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: the line without going to over the line and when

814
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: he can risk it and when he needs a dollar back.

815
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: Because that's especially Kayleb Williams that everyone fell in love

816
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: with during a predive process.

817
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the you know, the way you

818
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 4: see what you're talking about, DJ is just holding onto

819
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 4: the football like trying to find the perfect throw right,

820
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: You're trying to find just riggershot. And I was sitting

821
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: next to you know, David Carr on an NFL game

822
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: Day final last night. I feel like you're sitting there

823
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: like itching his arm, like every time we showed the highlights,

824
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 4: you know, just get sacked, sacked.

825
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 3: Nine sacks in this game. Like that's not all on

826
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: the offensive line.

827
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: I get it.

828
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 4: The only finish with six healthy offensive lineman Tevin Jenkins,

829
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 4: you know, unfortunately seemingly goes down in every game and

830
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 4: they're forced to shuffle the deck and there's no continuity

831
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: up there, and there's no continuity in the way that

832
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 4: the Caleb's playing.

833
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 3: Like they we had that three.

834
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: Week you know spell where we all right, maybe starting

835
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 4: to kind of figure things out here, and then all

836
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 4: of a sudden, we've just completely gone off the rails

837
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 4: old in the football taking sacks and then when he

838
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 4: does get it out, I mean, like you know, one

839
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: hops the one to DJ Moore out on the side.

840
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 4: It's just it's all contributing, right, They're all factors.

841
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: DJ, Yeah, you can see it. I charted it. I mean,

842
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 2: I thought there were three clear beats up front. So

843
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 2: of all those sacks, they were clear. You got a

844
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: personnel issue, you got beat up front, you take the sack.

845
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: The others either there was a hot that was missed

846
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: where they've got clearly they're sending more than you can block.

847
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: You've got to get the ball to your hands. You

848
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: have to have that awareness they're coming, and other ones

849
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 2: are just him not letting it rip. You've got one

850
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: on ones. You've got to let that thing go. And

851
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: then when you talk about like some of the misses

852
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: he has throws in this game, you can see him.

853
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: There are instances where he lets it rip and you

854
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: can watch it, and they'll be quarterback coaches that you

855
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: know are going to be far more advanced than me

856
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: on this stuff. And I know they all put out

857
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: videos and you can watch them all, and I'm sure

858
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of value there. I can tell you

859
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: a simple thing just from scouting side of things. Fuck,

860
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: his arm speed changes when you when you when you

861
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: see somebody who's trying to be too fine, who doesn't

862
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: want to make a mistake, they guide the ball and

863
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: their arm speed slows down. He is a he's a whippy,

864
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 2: explosive thrower. And there's there's a couple in this game

865
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: where you'll see him. You'll see the ball come out

866
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: and it's it's firm and it's on target. And then

867
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: there's other times you see him just guide the ball.

868
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 2: He's just slowing it down, trying to guide the ball,

869
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 2: and he has no earthly idea where it's going when

870
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: he does that. And it's sad to see a guy

871
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: who's a natural thrower be so inside his head as

872
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: he is right now, because that the way he's throwing

873
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: the ball is not natural. That's not how he's always

874
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 2: throwing the football. And instead of saying, you know, because

875
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 2: we can look at the defensive coach side of things, well,

876
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: the number two overall pick is with a defensive coach,

877
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 2: he's doing great. The guy he played against in this game.

878
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: The number three or overall picks are the defensive coach,

879
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: and he's doing quite well. So you can't just say

880
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: it's just a defensive coach. Now, I will see there's

881
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: a difference between being a defensive coach and being a

882
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: defensive dominant team, like we wouldn't think of New England

883
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: right now personnel wise, and Washington is having great defenses,

884
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: whereas in Chicago, I could see saying, hey, we have

885
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: this unbelievable defense. Just don't screw it up, don't turn

886
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: the ball over, take sacks, drives it ins and punts

887
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: and kicks are good. We'll win games. Versus you know, hey,

888
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 2: look we got to score points to win games. We're

889
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: gonna live with whatever mistakes you make, but like, hey,

890
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 2: we're not holding people to, you know, to ten points

891
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: a game, So you go out there and do it.

892
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: And I almost wish that, And I don't know this

893
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: was the case, but I almost wish that if you're

894
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: an eber Flus's shoes buck, if the mindset isn't hey,

895
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 2: we got a great defense, you know what that means. Hey,

896
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: if you see it rip, it takes some time. Yay,

897
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: we'll turn the ball over our defense, we're gonna get

898
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: a stop, we'll get off the field, we'll get you

899
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 2: back out there. But like, we're going to live with

900
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 2: some of that stuff because that's what makes you you.

901
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: But be aggressive, be that type of guy. And I

902
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: say that as someone who I've seen in Jim Harbaugh

903
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: being around the Chargers Quinton Johnston. I've seen a player

904
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: whose confidence was was very low last year, and I've

905
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: seen a coach just speak confidence into this kid, and

906
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 2: I've seen him get so much better and now it's

907
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: it's like a totally different football player. And so I

908
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: just I don't I'm anti don't screw up coaching. And

909
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the case, but that's what

910
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: it looks like from the outside.

911
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the case where subconsciously that message that subconstantly,

912
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: that message maybe getting to Kaya Williams because you have

913
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus is basically coaching for his job. If you

914
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: have security, you know that you're gonna be around, you're

915
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 1: more likely to encourage the young players to play through

916
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: those mistakes. But when you are on the last year

917
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: of your deal and the results are everything, it's hard

918
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: to be process oriented, even though you may want to

919
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: be that for your young quarterback. And when the results matter,

920
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: like they matter for Matt Eberflus because he's going to

921
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: be evaluated at the end of the season, he probably

922
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: is not encouraging Kayla Williams to a go let it go,

923
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: we'll get figured out or whatever. But by not doing that,

924
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: he's not getting the best version of Caleb Williams because

925
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: the one thing that you can't do, you can't play

926
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: the game afraid to be great, and right now, Kayla

927
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: Williams is afraid to be great because he doesn't want

928
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: to mess it up.

929
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 4: I think you guys nailed it on that. I just

930
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 4: it just doesn't feel like they are in sync. Really offense, defense,

931
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 4: like along the coaching staff and all of that is

932
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 4: getting to the quarterback here.

933
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it is, and I've seen it. I've just

934
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: seen it with other young quarterbacks.

935
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: It's a look.

936
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 2: Hopefully they have time, they can get it corrected and

937
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: he can play more free, play it more loose, and

938
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: kind of get back to being who he was coming out,

939
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: because it's a rough watch at this point in time.

940
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 2: Speaking of rough watches, the Jets have just they've they're

941
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 2: circling the drain man and it's been terrible. The Arizona Cardinals,

942
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: on the other hand, I want to give them some flowers.

943
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: I remember the Chargers going in there and losing that

944
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: game and thinking, oh gosh, they blew one against the Cardinals.

945
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you look up and the Cardinals now

946
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: they're playing really well and they've they've got some good

947
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: wins too. When you go through and look at what

948
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: they've been able to accomplish this year. Beat some good teams.

949
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 2: They've beaten the Rams, they've beaten the Chargers, they've beaten

950
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: the Niners. And Kyler is ultra ultra efficient with the

951
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: way he's playing Buck. I mean, this is this is

952
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 2: a winning formula that they've found there. They play really

953
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 2: hard on defense. James Connor can run it in this game.

954
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: You saw he can make some plays the past game

955
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: as well. McBride's a stud. They're figuring out Harrison how

956
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: to use him. It's it's a team that's getting better.

957
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: I think this is one of the best coach teams

958
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: that I've seen this year. I think they do a

959
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 2: great job with that staff.

960
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, give Jonathan Gannon a lot of credit for those

961
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: guys being able to figure out Drew Pelsick and those

962
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: guys on the offense certainly helping Kyler Murray, I would say,

963
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 1: be maybe the best version that we've seen of himself

964
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: in this game at the position, because what you eventually

965
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: want to see from your dual threat quarterback, you want

966
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: to see them mature and evolve and it becomes less

967
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: about their overreliance on their legs and more about selectively

968
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: using the athleticism to create big plays when those plays

969
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: are there or when they're needed. Kyler Murray is doing

970
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: that very efficient in the pocket as a passer, but

971
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: every now and then he gets on the edges and

972
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: he's able to give you things on either design runs

973
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: or scrambles, and as this defense is beginning to play well,

974
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: they're learning how to play complimentary football. I can't say

975
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: enough good things about the Arizona car and the way

976
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: that they're getting it done. Underrated, flying under the radar,

977
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: But this is a team that is going to kind

978
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: of backdoor into the playoffs and potentially do some damage

979
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: when they get there because the quarterback is that good

980
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: and the defensive playing really well.

981
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 3: It's a couple of rookies, you know. Here in this game.

982
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 4: Obviously, Marvin Harrison comes up with the touchdown reception. He's

983
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 4: now at six to lead all rookies after you know,

984
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 4: it's kind of a slower start, and there have been

985
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 4: lulls the course of these ten weeks right for Marvin Harrison,

986
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 4: but he's becoming that player that you thought he was

987
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 4: going to be. Don't look now, but Trey Benson is

988
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: showing up right, and look, James Connor is still kind

989
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 4: of the guy in that run game. But Trey Benson

990
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 4: six yards of pop and has showcasing some explosiveness which

991
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 4: is kind of fun to want. Which now along with

992
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray who seems like he could take it whenever

993
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 4: he wants it on the ground. And then just another

994
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 4: shout out to a guy that you and I Bucky

995
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 4: saw in Frisco, Texas at the Shrine Bowl, Rabbit taylored Emerson,

996
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 4: the Texas tech dB comes in in a big spot

997
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 4: and has a big time game, gets his hands on

998
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 4: a couple of balls, and is one of their better

999
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 4: dvs on the day. So that I thought, you know,

1000
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 4: it's all kind of coming together really with some of

1001
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 4: these young players mixing with a nice group of vets.

1002
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done a nice job there, a really nice

1003
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: job there. So MANI doing a good jobs GM there

1004
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: money awesome for it. Good dude, and who's brought in

1005
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: a lot of talented players. All about your game? Jaggs

1006
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 2: hung in there with the Vikings. Not a pretty game

1007
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 2: from the Vikings standpoint. What'd you see on the Jag

1008
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: side of things?

1009
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean the jack side of thing. I

1010
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: think it's tough when you're a team is struggling. You

1011
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: got your backup quarterback in in mac Jones, and mac

1012
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: Jones certainly couldn't perform at the level that maybe they

1013
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 1: expected you would get when you had Trevor Lawrence in there.

1014
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: And I think the familiar theme remains the same. When

1015
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 1: you're dealing with the Minnesota Vikings. The relentless pressure forces

1016
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks and play callers to wilt. It's the barrage

1017
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: of overload pressures and simulated pressures and just trying to

1018
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: figure out all the stuff. It's not only physically taxing

1019
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: to take those hits, but mentally taxing to figure out

1020
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: what they're doing. And because there's such an experienced crew

1021
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: in the back end, in particularly because you have Stefan

1022
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: Gilmore playing, Arison Smith playing, you have Shag Griffin jumping

1023
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: in and some of the sub packages, they're able to

1024
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: do some advanced stuff when it comes to pre snap

1025
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: disguises and post snap movement just to really put together defense.

1026
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: And I can talk about the Jag playing hard and

1027
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: doing all that, but the Vikings are going to be

1028
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: one of those teams that's a thorn on your side,

1029
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: not because of their offense, but because their defenses that could.

1030
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's not a great day from Sam in

1031
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 2: company offensively, but the defense carried them on that one.

1032
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: The Vikings end up getting a big win. Let's get

1033
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: to the game. I was at Chargeargers Titans Chargers kind

1034
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: of did what you're supposed to do when you're playing

1035
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: a two win team. They just kind of handled them.

1036
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: They see the score there, twenty seven to seventeen. It

1037
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 2: wasn't really that close. The Titans got a garbage touchdown

1038
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,479
Speaker 2: late in this ballgame after going right down the field

1039
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 2: in their first drive in scoring. Then the Chargers defense

1040
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: just kind of stiffened up. They didn't give up anything,

1041
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 2: you know, after that great saucy nug by, the way

1042
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: seven straight starts, no interceptions for Justin Herbert, he's protecting

1043
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: the football. I was talking to somebody about this, you know,

1044
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: they're talking about the offensive line with the Chargers, and

1045
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: I said, look, they've invested in those two offensive tackles,

1046
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 2: two first rounders, two top you know, top tier guys

1047
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 2: with Slater and then with Joe Walt playing the way

1048
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: he's playing. But I'm like even the interior, you know,

1049
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: you look at some guys. There's Zion Johnson was a

1050
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 2: high pick, but Bozman didn't cost much as a free agent.

1051
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 2: You had as you see in this tape here, Jamari

1052
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 2: saw your filling Infra trait Pipkins at guard. I mean,

1053
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 2: it's not like this is like five all pros all

1054
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: the way across the line. But when you look at it,

1055
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean the way they throw the ball like eighteen

1056
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: times in this game. So you throw it eighteen times,

1057
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 2: let's say, let's say six of those are off play

1058
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 2: action where you've got an extra blocker, you've got another

1059
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 2: three or four screens baked in, you move the pocket

1060
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: on boots for another two or like. He's not asking

1061
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: these guys to sit there and hold up and pass

1062
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: pro for forty five fifty snaps. And that's what the

1063
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 2: Chargers offense has been since Herbert got there. So you

1064
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: saw it with the way he was running in this game.

1065
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: He's going to be fresh coming down the stretch in

1066
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: the second half. And now when you find yourself in

1067
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 2: this portion of the schedule where they have coming in

1068
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati on Sunday night followed by the Ravens on a

1069
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: Monday night, they're gonna, you know, they're gonna have to

1070
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to ask more of justin Herbert. But

1071
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: I think you know able to preserve him in games

1072
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: like this. They haven't been able to do that in

1073
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 2: the past. So a good win there for the Chargers,

1074
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: all right. Rhtt we this is a game I knew

1075
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 2: you were super excited about. It's the last one we

1076
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: have here. Giants Panthers.

1077
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Man, it's just a tough watch with the

1078
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 4: Giants offense, you know, and it does make me wonder,

1079
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 4: like where where did things go?

1080
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: You know?

1081
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 4: Two years ago we're talking about this Giants team making

1082
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 4: a playoff push and winning a playoff game with you know,

1083
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 4: a lot of the same faces and and some that

1084
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 4: that aren't there that are you know, like Milik Neighbors,

1085
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 4: who's you know, probably better than who was there at

1086
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 4: the time. You know, Tyrone Tracy has fallen into a

1087
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 4: nice role here, but you know, unfortunately there's one you know,

1088
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 4: kind of turnover he's directly involved with, and the other

1089
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 4: one was just, man, you just feel for it, you know,

1090
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 4: the first play of overtime and they just cough it up.

1091
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of been the story of the

1092
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 4: Giant season. It just makes you wonder, like they have

1093
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 4: been preaching patients there in New York, especially with Daniel

1094
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 4: Jones and now Brian Dabole is saying when directly asked,

1095
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 4: we're evaluating everything and that's a hard place to be

1096
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 4: for a Giants team that was in the postseason two

1097
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 4: years ago.

1098
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also it's also buck a little bit

1099
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 2: of a you know, a warning sign for some of

1100
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 2: these some of these contracts. I was, I was at

1101
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: a wedding this last weekend, and so you're at a wedding,

1102
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: You're talking to a lot of people, and you get

1103
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 2: into a lot of stories about how you met your spouse,

1104
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: and you know, all this kind of stuff, and the

1105
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: topic came up of like, yeah, yeah, we just knew,

1106
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: like when we were together, we just knew this was

1107
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: your person, you know. And I thought, you know, it's

1108
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 2: kind of like a quarterback, like if you have to

1109
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: ask yourself is he worth? Is he worth the second contract?

1110
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 2: If you have to debate that you probably shouldn't marry

1111
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: that person. Yeah, you probably shouldn't marry that person. And

1112
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: I think of, you know, that's that's one of those

1113
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: conversations that took place. So we'll see. I think it

1114
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense for them to maybe look

1115
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 2: at somebody else also because of the injury guarantee with

1116
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: the contracts. So we'll see what they do when they

1117
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: get a chance to reevaluate. But I have yet to

1118
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 2: hear a coach say, we're going to reevaluate everything and

1119
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 2: then decide, know what actually better than we thought. We're

1120
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,439
Speaker 2: gonna stay the course. We're gonna stay the course.

1121
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: There.

1122
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,520
