1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: What's up everybody? DJ? Bucky back with you, Buck? What's 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: going on? Man? Man? Life is good? How was how 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: is everything? With Marcus? I apologize, Uh, we're in the 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: process of a move, so things have got crazy, so 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: I had to duck out. And then Marcus Pinch hit admirably. 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: But how how was that one? Look, it was a 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: little cross over because we talked a little fantasy, a 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: little reality. Uh. We obviously touched on the big I mean, 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the big thing that is the game changing was Aaron 11 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: Donald's contract, but then we mixed in top ten wide 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: receivers in with Marcus having a little bit of a 13 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: fantasy slant. It was an interesting conversation. I love it. 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: I appreciate shout out to Marcus for helping us out 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: on that one. I appreciate that. Today on the show, 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: actually gonna talk about deep ball passers and look up 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: some next gen stats on that. Who were the top 18 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: deep ball passers from last year? I would expect from 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: those guys coming up in the upcoming season, So we 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: hit on that a little bit. Also gonna talk some 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: rookie qubs. You know these opportunities that they have to 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: win jobs that we think it's gonna happen, and what 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: the forecast is for those guys. But before we get 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: started there, Buck, I need to know right now as 25 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: as my son, I've got one, it's gonna be a 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: freshman high school, he's entering kind of in the high 27 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: school football phase. They start their morning workouts. I need 28 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: I need a little scouting report. I need to know 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: what what your squad's looking like for next year. As 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: as your head coaching career continues, is this your three 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: this will actually be season four? Yeah, twenty nineteen was 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the first year, so um, you know, DJ, it is 33 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: always a work in progress. And so Monday was the 34 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: first day of workouts. We've been working out throughout the summer, 35 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: throughout the spring, but now it's the first time that 36 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: everyone comes together. And so I'm just a big believer 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: in man. Before we can even think about what we're 38 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna do, we gotta get the right people on the squad. 39 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: And so right now we're going through the trial phase 40 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: that takes like two weeks to kind of figure out 41 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: who's who, what's what. We're working on conditioning and those 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: things and just the basic things. But it's a lot 43 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: of fun. It's a lot of fun watching them. I 44 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: would say that. They probably wouldn't say that it's a 45 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: lot of fun because, um, I think we're a little 46 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: old school. I think you should. I think you remember. 47 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: Do you have the trash cans set up? Do you 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: have the trash can set up on the field? Yeah? 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Because A no, no is you cannot. You cannot you 50 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: feel the field. No, you gotta gotta get off because 51 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: then I gotta kind of bring somebody in to clean that. 52 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: So hey, little receptacles at every corner of the field, like, hey, 53 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: find your way to a little great receptacle. But please, Yeah, 54 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: on the field again, I got to call administration. We 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: gotta get the people to clean. Um, we've had a few, 56 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: but I mean, DJ, we're not doing anything crazy. We're 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: just doing like some runs, some sprints, some bear crawls, 58 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: some gases, like simple stuff. You know, how about monkey rolls? 59 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: You do we got any monkey rolls? Gone? No, we 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: can't do. You remember having to do that though, I 61 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: remember that was like because college, we have to do 62 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: those things. Man, I was guys doing that to take 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: care of the football. So you didn't fumble, like rolling 64 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: over and doing all that other stuff. But well you 65 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: did like the three. Is this what I'm thinking when 66 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: you had the three guys where you like roll over, 67 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: you got jumped over him and they rolled back. Who 68 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: came up with this thing? I haven't done this, but 69 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: was coming. Um, I don't know if you're where those 70 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: are harder man. Yeah, yeahbilit you gotta open up those 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: tips and so all that. But it's it's all been 72 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: good fun. I think that the fun thing is watching 73 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: the kids kind of get together. Um. Really, what you're 74 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: trying to do is trying to help kids become really 75 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: good people. So you use football as a vehicle to 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: kind of get and do some stuff, and you try 77 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: and tell them, hey, man, you can be great in 78 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: anything in life. You gotta commit to it. And if 79 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: you commit to what you can hold people accountable, hold 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: yourself accountable, then you can earn trust. You do that, 81 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: you've got a chance to be successful. So there's been 82 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's always a lot of fun. 83 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: I was talking to a buddy about high school coaches 84 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: the other day and last aut on that and we'll 85 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: get gone. But he brought he said a great analogy. 86 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: His his uh his brother is a high school coach, 87 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: has done really well. And uh, I said, you know what, 88 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: what's his philosophy? You know who always talked about philosophies, 89 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: He said, what's his philosophy? He said, he never talks 90 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: about wins or losses. He said, he deems he deems 91 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: how good a job he's done by how many weddings 92 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: of his former players he gets invided to. Yeah, said, 93 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: it's amazing when you think about that, Like, if you 94 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: developed that type of relationship with these kids that four 95 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: or five, you know, eight ten years later when they 96 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: get married and you're on the invitation list, then you've 97 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: made an impact on the kid. I thought, and and 98 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: and the winds kind of come with that once they 99 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: what is that phrase, but that they don't care how 100 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: much you know? And this they know how much you care. 101 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that's DJ This has kind of being like 102 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: one of the best things. And I think what it's 103 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: done is it's made me better in terms of watching 104 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: ball and teams and team building. But I would I 105 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: would say he's absolutely right, because what the kids want 106 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: is kind of what every kid wants from a parent 107 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: or whatever is they won't consistency and reliability and stability. 108 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: And so they want to make sure that you're gonna 109 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: show up every day, that your messaging is gonna be 110 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: the same. And what also learned is what you learned 111 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: with your kids. Whatever you say you're going to do, 112 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: you better do it follow through. Yeah, so if you 113 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: say that he if guys are late, we're gonna lock 114 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: him out. Better lock him out because because so now 115 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: it's great. And so I'm hopeful that you know, we 116 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: build enough young people that somewhere down the line I 117 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: get some invitations and Stuffy grow up because there's a 118 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: lot of fun watching them kind of go through each phase. 119 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: I love it all. Right, let's get going here. Let's 120 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: talk deep balls. Uh. This is uh looking at next 121 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: gen stats top ten deep passers from so we're gonna 122 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: work ten all the way down to number one and go. 123 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts kind of all what 124 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: you expect for these guys in the future, what's changed 125 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: around them, uh, and whether or not we see this 126 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: as sustainable and what we see from them going forward. 127 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: So tenh in the league? How about the m v 128 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: P Aaron Rodgers with tent uh in the deep ball 129 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: last year. You look at his completion percentage over expected 130 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: as plus seven point three, which is is pretty darn good. 131 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: Means he's getting more than probably should um six touchdowns, 132 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: three interceptions. You know, it's not a it's not something 133 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 1: with him you think about, they're very selective in taking 134 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: their shots down the field. They're gonna beat you up 135 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: underneath with his accuracy and consistency and then and then 136 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: selectively take their shots. But he was the tenth fest 137 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: in the league last year. Yeah, DJ, I think like 138 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: with some of the deep ball stuff, the numbers that 139 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: we look at um a lot of his the coverages 140 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: that they face, like some teams are gonna park the 141 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: saves in the parking lot of take the deep ball away. 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a an aging quarterback losing some of the 143 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: fastball when it comes to being able to push it 144 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: down the field. But the efficiency with which that he 145 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: operates is amazing, and so we think about like thirty 146 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: eight point one per cent. I think you have to 147 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: think about the deep ball much like we think about 148 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: the three point shot in basketball. Man has a nice 149 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: solid number because it's hard to connect on those shots 150 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: just because of the range and because of the coverage 151 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: that you're facing down the field. Yeah, so they kind 152 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: of put this whole thing together with all these staf 153 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: and it gives you your your passing score on deep attempts. 154 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: So he was a ninety one just above him in 155 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: the ninth spot. Actually, we have a tie here just 156 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: above him, so I guess it'll be tied for eight. 157 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: We've got two guys, Derek Carr and Russell Wilson. Derek 158 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: Carr stays in the same situation in in Vegas, but 159 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: he adds Aaron Rodgers top receiver, uh coming over there 160 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: in Davante Adams. Russell Wilson obviously changing completely. He's now 161 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos. So of those two, if they 162 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: tied last year in their passing score on deep balls, 163 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: both guys very effective there. Who would you say is 164 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: better equipped to have a have a big time you're 165 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: pushing the ball vertically between those two guys, I would 166 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: think Derry Carr. But Derek Carr's uh efficiency and production 167 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: will be tied to the personnel. When you have Davante 168 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Adams teaming up with Darren Wallatt and Hunter Renfroe, you're 169 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: guaranteed of getting an All Star in a one on 170 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: one matchup, and so I like the odds of being 171 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: able to find a deep ball based on a matchup 172 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to the coverage. Russell Wilson steps into a 173 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: nice situation. But man, I am racking my brain trying 174 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: to figure out how someone is going to match up 175 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: with the Raiders on the perimeter. I don't know if 176 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: you have enough fist hard dbs to handle what they 177 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: can trot out there when they go their eleven personnel package. 178 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: So Derek Carr has been good on the beat ball here, um, 179 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: but here's my question to you, looking at these two guys. 180 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: This is the Patriots offense. This is the death by 181 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: a million paper cuts offense with guys. When you think 182 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: about Davante Adams uncovering underneath Hunter Renfro uncovering underneath Waller, 183 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: you can say, okay, he can stretch the scene a 184 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: little bit more. But I don't know how much vertical 185 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: they're really gonna get buck. I mean, I think they're 186 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: gonna let those guys uncover, get the ball in their 187 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: hands and and let them go like New England's done forever. 188 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Whereas with Russ, I think Russ goes to Denver and 189 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: you get kJ Handler, who's a flyer. You get Jerry 190 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: Judy who's a flyer. You get Courtland Sutton on fifty 191 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: fifty balls down the field, and Russell Wilson has always been, 192 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, the sexy beat ball guy. So I'm actually 193 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: kind of leaning towards just the situations. I bulk have 194 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: great years, but I'm actually in towards rust being more 195 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: vertical than than maybe a car. This next year, well, 196 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: he may have more opportunities to push ball down the 197 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: field because when we think about the running game and 198 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: what they can create, Yeah, he may have opportunities. And 199 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: you're right when you looked at the numbers, because I 200 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: think Darry Carr was seven touchdowns five interceptions compared to 201 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson having nine in two touchdown interceptions. He is 202 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: known for pushing it down the field. And when we 203 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: talk about just who throws a prettier deep ball, man, 204 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: it is hard to beat that moon ball that Russell 205 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: Wilson drops down the chimney. Uh yeah, you can put 206 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: a big numbers, you know, until we see him, until 207 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: we see what this offense looks like. It's hard for 208 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: me to forecast, but I do like, what potentially could 209 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: happen in dem if the pieces of the polls will 210 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: fall into place? All right, this next one, I mean, 211 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: does this Does this one shock you a little bit 212 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: here when we get to the next one, because the 213 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: next two guys are tied right above the two we 214 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: just mentioned, and those are yeah, Patrick Mahomes, okay at it? 215 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz was dark on a deep ball 216 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: last year. Buck Hey, DJ Like, it's one of those things. 217 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: And and here's what we're talking about, facts over feelings. 218 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: The one thing numbers do is it takes all the 219 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: emotion out. So whatever you think about Carson Wentz based 220 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: on how it played out for them at the end 221 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: of the year, when you look at the numbers, this 222 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: is a remarkable stack. Look he completed, but of his 223 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: deep ball attempts seven to three touchdown interspituation, the passer 224 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: rating was one oh six. That we're doing the blind resume, 225 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would have put Carson Wentz his 226 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: face with those numbers. Maybe we need to go back 227 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: and maybe in Washington it might be a little bit 228 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: of situation because the burners that they have on the outside. 229 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: Terry mclauren, Curtis Samuel. They may have some guys that play, yeah, 230 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: that plays to his strength. They have an opportunity to 231 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: really maybe maximize what his talents talents are as a player. 232 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: Think about that last year on deep falls Carson went 233 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, Patrick Mahomes seven touchdowns. Um, this is the 234 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: big number. The completion percentage over expected. Carson Wentz was 235 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: plus ten point one per cent. Mahomes was plus four 236 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: point two percent. In other words, like Carson Wentz outperformed 237 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: on some of these throws, meaning he made some big 238 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: time special throws that were not supposed to be completed. 239 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: He found a way to get them in there. I 240 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: think of, gosh, what was it the game against Arizona 241 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: where he had some big time, big time throws earlier 242 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: in the year there with the Colts. Now, obviously we 243 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: know how it ended in in in the game against Jacksonville, 244 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: but there is still some good there with Carson Wentz. 245 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: I found that quite fascinating. All right right above them, Um, 246 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: we have all by himself here Matthew Stafford in fifth spot. 247 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: When you look at his numbers, what jumps out and 248 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: what do you expect this year? Well, what jumps out 249 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: to me is just to ear volume in terms of 250 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: the passing yards that he put passing yards. The other 251 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: thing that jumps out look a seven or seven touchdown 252 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: interception ratio, which is even so the efficiency in terms 253 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: of pushing the ball down the field was not exactly 254 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: what you would like. Um, but this is Matthew Stafford 255 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: and he has that gun slingker mentality. And some of 256 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: those were early when O. B J was coming over. 257 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: He's trying to get O. B J invall trying to 258 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field for some things. But look, 259 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: he's a threat. He makes you defend everybody of grass, 260 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: particularly down the field. Is one of those things that 261 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: you have to understand. This is who Matthew Stafford is, 262 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: and you're going to get some of those turners, but 263 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: you also get the big plays to come with it. Yeah, 264 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: I think with Stafford, I mean, anybody that throws a 265 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: no looker in the Super Bowl with the game on 266 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: the line, with the game on the line exactly. So 267 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: to kind of see him kind of run up the 268 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: totals for both teams, you know, his and and the 269 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 1: opponents not a surprise because I mean was one of 270 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: the first guys, I guess you'd probably go back to 271 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: the guy you played with the Brett Farve where you 272 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: start hearing the term gun slinger. You know, it kind 273 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: of became overused, but I don't know that there's a 274 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: more app description of Stafford than unslinger. Like he is 275 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: going to shoot his shot, He's not gonna leave, He's 276 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: not gonna leave the field going. Man. I wish I 277 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: would have been a little more aggressive. Nope, he's going 278 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: for it, absolutely going for and he's going for it 279 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: at all times. Uh. That's one of the things that 280 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: has made him a fantastic player, and I know a 281 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: lot of it was lost during this time at Detroit. 282 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: We now have an opportunity to appreciate n l A 283 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: with the weapons that he has around him. He's the 284 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna push the envelope. Sometimes it'll work against you, 285 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: but a lot of times it's really gonna work for you. 286 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: All Right, here we go. Now we're into the top four. Um, 287 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert comes in at number four. I got a 288 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: front row seat to watch this on a yearly basis, 289 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: But last year eight touchdowns, four interceptions and ninety nine 290 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: point three passer rating completion percentage plus seven point eight 291 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: percent over expected um so's he's he's scored a ninety 292 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: seven with his overall passing score. And you talk about 293 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: being able to push the ball vertically, buck the thing 294 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: that jumps out to me A lot of times when 295 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: you think about guys that pushed the ball vertically, you 296 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: think about extend in place, which he can do some 297 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: of that. You think about just play deep play action, 298 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: and then being able to get the ball up early 299 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: and out. Some of these are within the pocket, bodies 300 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: around him, no platform to be able to step, and 301 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: he's in heavy dress throwing some of these balls, which 302 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. It is ridiculous. And you know, DJ 303 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: is funny because there's this thing where we're bubbling up 304 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert being a superstar. I give Brandon's daily 305 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of credit for really being bold in this 306 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: profit proclamation about his young quarterback, because the dude is 307 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: a star. And then when you look at the numbers 308 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: and you see what he is actually doing, this guy's 309 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: the top five quarterback and you see it every week. 310 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: But I think on a grander scale, I think people 311 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: have to appreciate what he is and It's one of 312 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: the reasons why when we talk about the f C 313 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: West and how excited everyone is. I think you made 314 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: this proposal and pitch that they should put at least 315 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: one a f C West game on prime time each 316 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: week because it's the battle of the quarterbacks. I mean, 317 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: we already have three of them now. Every quarterback is 318 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: on the list, Derek Carr, Pat Mahomes, Russell Wilson, and 319 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: now Justin Herbert. Every all top ten guys when it 320 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: comes to the deep ball, and Justin Herbert rings first. 321 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: It's just one of those things when we talk about 322 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: quarterback playing, Justin Herbert he has to be in the 323 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: conversation as the top five guy. I'm with you on that. 324 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: And as we get to the top three guys in 325 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: terms of the deep ball, some interesting names here. I 326 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: think that's a fast surprise surprises. Yes, let's get to 327 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: number three on the list with a passing score of 328 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: um against seven touchdowns, three picks on one eleven point 329 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: one pass rating, which is a huge number. The number 330 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: from me again, completion percentage over expected plus twelve point three, 331 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: so far exceeding what was expected on some of these plays. 332 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And that's Kyler Murray a man who's who's looking for 333 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: a payday buck and somebody. When you talk about his 334 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: ability to extend place and then use his eyes, I 335 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: think that was one of the things that stood out 336 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: to me. And when you're evaluating him to the draft process, 337 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: is he really did want to scramble the throw. He 338 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: had not wanted to take off and go to the 339 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: point where like, dude, you're so electric and dynamic, I 340 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: wish you'd use that quick little stride to go and 341 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: run more. But he likes to buy time to try 342 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: and push the ball down the field. Yeah, he wants 343 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: to buy time to push it down the field. But 344 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, DJ, I think because of all the stuff 345 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: around Cayler Murray, right, like some of the things that 346 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: you question, maybe from a leadership standpoint, some of the 347 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: body language stuff that you don't like. What it does 348 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: is he's allowed that part to overshadow the player that 349 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: he is pretty dark to think about. To think about 350 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Cala Murray being third best on this list to put 351 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: up the numbers that he puts up pushing the ball 352 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: down the field, you now understand why the Arizona Gardiners 353 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: are committed for him being the QB one for the future, 354 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: even though there's some debate about when they're going to 355 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: pay him and all that stuff. D the proof is 356 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: in the pudding, Like, these numbers are ridiculous, and I 357 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: know we have the lasting image from the playoff failure 358 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: where he lost against the Rams and those things, the numbers, 359 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: the production, the performance. He has been a guy last year. 360 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: We're talking about him being a top five player. He 361 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: has that kind of talent. He is everything that you 362 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: want as a number one overall pick from a talent standpoint. Now, 363 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: if we can get the leadership stuff in the body 364 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: language stuff right, you talk about a bona fide superstar. 365 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: Those numbers are superstar caliber numbers. I'm with you, man, 366 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that that's why that that 367 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: check is gonna get written. Um is like I understand, 368 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: like they were frustrated. They wanted to guild deal to 369 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: get done on Kyler. Kyler's side with his camp, they're 370 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: gonna get it. I mean they're gonna get it and 371 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: they're gonna be happy with it. They're gonna paying a 372 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: ton of money. Um. Number two on the list. How 373 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: about this one, Matt Ryan Buck And this is uh, 374 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, with a score, so really he's he's tied 375 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: for first here. But Matt Ryan not a lot of 376 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: the attempts twenty forty two, so it's a huge completion 377 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: percentage on depauls forty seven point six is outstanding, you know, 378 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: three to one touchdowns the pics. Again, it's not a 379 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: big volume, but it's just really efficient completion percentage over 380 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: expected plus seventeen point eight percent. I think that speaks 381 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: to a little bit of who he was working with 382 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: last year. There's no name receivers. Basically it was Kyle 383 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: Pitts and and uh and then crossed your fingers with 384 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: everybody else last year. So I don't know. I don't 385 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: know how much I read into this because I see 386 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: those numbers, but it's not a lot of volume there. 387 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: It's not a lot of volume of it. But but DJ, 388 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: it's wonder the reasons why I think, Uh, you're a 389 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: little excited about, you know, Matt Ryan taking over because 390 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: we're looking at these numbers, right, and you're looking at 391 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, and you're right, it's not a high volume 392 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: in terms of the sample size, but the passer rating 393 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: one or seven point seven, he's very efficiently looked at 394 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: completion percentage forty seven point six. So now take those numbers, 395 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: but you have Matt Ryan replacing Carson Wentz, who put 396 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: up great numbers in the same game offense. It's an 397 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: opportunity for Matt Ryan to maybe have a little bit 398 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: of a rebirth of resurgence on the as a quarterback 399 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: in the twilight of his career because this offense is 400 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: going to give him an opportunity to do what he 401 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: does really well, and throwing the deep ball is one 402 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: of those underrated parts of his game that he does 403 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: really well. Yeah, I think the best way to summarize 404 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: the transition from Wentz to Matt Ryan is, you know, 405 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: I think with Carson, you're gonna see some of those 406 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: unbelievable plays. He's gonna hit the three five ft beyond 407 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: the line, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, you know, 408 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: he's gonna dunk on people and create these massive highlights. 409 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: Whereas with Matt Ryan, it's just like, just make the 410 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: simple play. It's a two handed it's a two handed 411 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: chest pass, you know what I mean. Like he's just 412 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 1: gonna everything that's there. That's all they wanted to do, 413 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Just just make the plays that they're there. We don't 414 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: need you to play really kind of outside the structure. 415 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's so it's gonna be fascinating to 416 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: kind of see the creativity. You maybe lose some of 417 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: that with Wentz, but the consistency you gain Matt Ryan. Yeah, 418 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: the consistency is everything. And you already hear the reports 419 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: coming out about what he has been able to do 420 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: in the off season program, and I know it's offseason program, 421 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: and overally cares about like that stuff. What you're hearing 422 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: the players talk about his leadership, what he's added to 423 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: the team in terms of raising the standard, his ability 424 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: to challenge the wide receivers. But then everybody to a man, 425 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: including Frank Wright, has talked about the accuracy. When you 426 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: add that accuracy on short, intermediate and now the deep ball, 427 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: this offense has a chance to expand because all that's 428 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: gonna be on Jonathan Taylor. Now you get an opportunity 429 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: to take advantage of defense is really over committing to 430 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: stopping what I think is probably one of the best 431 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: running games in football. Yeah, that division, Man, they're gonna 432 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: run the rock in that division alright. Tied up there 433 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: with him at Number one was Josh Allen. No surprise 434 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: there more volume here nine fifty four yards, five touchdowns, 435 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: two picks, a hundred point seven pass rating. He was 436 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: only plus seven point eight in terms of completion percentage 437 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: over expected, which means they've got some stuff dialed up 438 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: to get guys open, and he's kind of made those happen. Um. 439 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: But again, the score there as good as it gets, 440 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: and that that one doesn't surprise him. When you think 441 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: about big, strong, you know, big plays. I think Josh 442 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: Allen's probably you know him and Justin Herbert to me 443 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: in terms of cutting that image at Mahomes obviously like 444 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: those guys kind of to me, I think of vertical pastors, 445 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: those guys come to mind. Yeah, I think of that. 446 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: I think he's built to be a big place specialist. 447 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: I think you go back and watch him at Wyoming, 448 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: you had an opportunity to see that a ton um 449 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: throwing it down the field. In Buffalo. He has become 450 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: a more accurate passer on short, intermediate, and even deep 451 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: because early in his career he struggled with the deep ball. 452 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: Well now he's dropping that thing in and with the 453 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: guy his size, with his athleticism, and running skills, able 454 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: to push the ball. He's different man. He's he's a 455 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: different player. This is the year that I think he 456 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: has to buy her. He will buy for the m 457 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: v P. Everything has lined up for him to do it. 458 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: He's matured into and look the top five quarterback who 459 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: as m v P caliber stuff. Now it's time for 460 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: him to play like that in the deep ball will 461 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: be a big part of how he plays and performs 462 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: at that m v P level. All right, let's take 463 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: a quick break. We're gonna come back here and touch 464 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: on some rookie quarterbacks before we wrap it up. All right, Buck, 465 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: just quick, as we wrapped this one up today, I 466 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: wanted to look at these rookie quarterbacks and I want 467 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: to just kind of give me a number and then 468 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: we'll bounce back and forth on this. I want to 469 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: say right now what you believe? And we got got 470 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: plenty of time once we get through training camp, season, preseason. Well, 471 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: I would better feel for this, but I want to 472 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: know the number of starts for some of these rookies. 473 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: You're ready to go, okay, yeah, so let's let's start 474 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: with Kenny Pickett. How many starts with Kenny Pickett this year, 475 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: I think eight. I think he starts half the year 476 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: for the team. I don't think he wins the job 477 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: right out of training camp. I think that goes to 478 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: one of the veterans, namely Mitch to biscuity. But by 479 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: about the midway point, I think Kenney Pickett will have 480 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: settled in enough that he will get an opportunity need 481 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: to lead this team. And once he gets in the game, 482 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: I think he stays in the game. So give me 483 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: eight starts on Canny pick eight starts on Canny Pickett. Okay, 484 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: I like that. I was gonna lean towards I was 485 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: gonna go I was gonna go ten. I'm gonna go 486 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: a little bit over that and say that we do 487 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: see Travisky here at the start of the season. Um, 488 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be it's gonna be a fun competition 489 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: to watch. I don't think he starts week one. I 490 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: think we're on the same page there, eight to ten starts. 491 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: I think we're kind of speaking the same language there. 492 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: How about how about Desmond Ritter with the Falcons. Look, 493 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: I'll go four, um, and I would say four is 494 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: just due to maybe some injuries. Whatever they would say 495 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: injuries with Mariota's probably picks him on the field, yeah, 496 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: ankle sprain or something like that. He gets an opportunity 497 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: to go in the field, gives them a chance to 498 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: get like a little sneak peek at what they have 499 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: in the third round quarterback, and then after that they'll 500 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: make a determination where he plays. But I think four 501 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: is a nice safe number. Yeah, I'm gonna say three 502 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: or four. Yeah, I'm with you. I think we're seeing 503 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: the same thing here. I think that Mariota, I don't 504 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: know that he's gonna make it through a whole season. Um, 505 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: But again, would you be shocked if Marcus being out there? 506 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: If Marcus went down in the third week of the season, 507 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: and then if Ritter ends up starting the most games 508 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: of any rookie, that wouldn't surprise me. Now, I wouldn't 509 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: surprise me because remember, look at all the young guys 510 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: that have played to play last year, Look at all 511 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: the different quarterbacks that played. They had opportunities to be 512 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity for him to play. Yeah, and he's gonna 513 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: he's gonna learn to playbook in two seconds. I mean, 514 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: everybody raped about how smart he is and how sharp 515 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: he is so he'll be able to pick that up. 516 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: So again, I think it's it's determined on the health 517 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: of Mariot. I don't think he's gonna beat him out, 518 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: but you know, Marcus has has had injuries in the past, 519 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: so that'd be something to keep an eye on. All Right, 520 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Malik Willis with the Titans. He I mean he's he's 521 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: not starting games this year? Is he back? No? I 522 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: think he's a richer. He's a richer in candidate. This 523 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: is this is Ryan Santehills. I think it would have 524 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: to be a crazy, wild circumstance and situation to give 525 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: Malik Willis an opportunity. I think this is his opportunity 526 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: to get better on the practice field, to prepare for 527 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: an opportunity to potentially play in How about this, Is 528 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: there a chance he played ease in games but just 529 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: doesn't start games. Like, here's the thing. Everybody always talks 530 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: about these packages. I've done it. We're gonna give these 531 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: guys a package of plays. They never do. It never happens. 532 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: Remember I said that it didn't happen. Yeah. I think 533 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: it's too hard. I think it's too hard to disrupt 534 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: the flow of the game to get him and they 535 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: had they need to have a package of plays ready 536 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: in case he does have to play, but to stop 537 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: the flow of the game to say, hey, Malik Willis, 538 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna come in and basically use it as a 539 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: wild at quarterback. No, I think they rolled with Ryan 540 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: Tannehill and too. Ryan Tannehill gives them a reason not to. 541 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: I think the veterman I played well. I don't think 542 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 1: we'll see Milieu Willis this year, all right, Bailey Zappy 543 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: was the next pick. I don't I think we're on 544 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: the same page. I mean unless something happening playing. Uh, 545 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: Sam how will be the last one there in Washington. 546 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, we just talked about Carson Wentz a little 547 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: bit earlier about how efficient effect if he was on 548 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: the deep ball. What do you think do we see 549 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: Sam How your your tar heel this year? I give 550 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: him one game, one one game. We'll give him one game, 551 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: just like this is the prices right, and I put 552 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: to be it for one dollar. Look, I'm gonna go 553 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: one game with Sam How just because d year we 554 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: talked a little earlier. There are so many quarterbacks that 555 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: got on the field last year, um that that I 556 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: would just kind of bank on. Maybe something happening to 557 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: the one in the two quarterback that gives Sam howl 558 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to play. I think that's what happens. Didn't 559 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: we see Ian booked last year play for the Saints? Maybe? Yeah, 560 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: So maybe this is an opportunity Sam how it gets 561 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to run through the run out of tunnel 562 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: here's name call run the offense for a game before 563 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: he goes back to one of the veterans. Yeah. Yeah, 564 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: because you gotta remember he's not on deck. He's in 565 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: the hole, you know, like he's not. He's starting out 566 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: as number three, not as most of these guys are 567 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: coming in at least at number two. So he's got 568 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: to climb over a couple of guys to get into 569 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: the game. But I don't know why. I just got 570 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: a sense that maybe we see him for for a 571 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: few games this year, so we'll see how it all 572 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: shakes out. But I thought he was kind of almost 573 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: criminally underdrafted. He had not deserved to fall as low 574 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: as he did in this draft. That I actually believe, 575 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: even Sam How, I think he's got a shot to 576 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: be a good starter. So I'll say I'll say three 577 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: or four. I think he gets his he gets out there, 578 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: carsonal get hurt, see what happens behind a key, But 579 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: he'll he'll find his way on the field at some 580 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: point in time. So we're kind of we're very similar 581 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: in all those we are. We're like, see, we've been 582 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: doing it for too long. We're coming from the same 583 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: viewpoint on all this. One thing we know, young quarterbacks 584 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: don't have an opportunity to play. These guys have to 585 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: get up and get ready to play as starters, regardless 586 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: of whether their teams tell them like, hey, this is 587 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: a richer year. As they always say in football, you 588 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: want play away. You have one play and trying again, 589 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: one play in the regular season can change everything in 590 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: an instant. And you could do to justin herber thing, Hey, 591 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: by the way, you find us for the game you're starting. 592 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: How about that? Ok? Here we go, Oh man, yeah 593 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: that was I still just see me in my going 594 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: like what is going on? Is this real?
