Speaker 1: d J, Bucky and we have Week one of the

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: NFL season in the books. A couple of Monday nighters,

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: well i'd say one an day night game and another

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: something another something scrimmage between the Niners and the Rams

16
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: that was not pretty buck, but the overall a great

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: week one of football action. We had a a college

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: football slate that didn't look that sexy on paper, but

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: we got a while finished there in the in Stillwater

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma some other interesting developments there. We'll touch on the

21
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: college stuff on the back end of today's audio podcast,

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: but up front, just overall first impressions from the first

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: week of the season. First week of the season, I

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: was really impressed with the quarterback play. I was surprised

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: at in the league where we talked about there being

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback epidemic, not having franchise quarterbacks. We saw a

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: lot of guys put up big numbers. Uh. We saw

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: really positives in the touchdown to interception ratio, and we

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: saw a lot of receivers go over hundred yeards eleven

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: one hundred yard receivers. I continue to maintain the White

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: House are now the biggest playmakers on offense outside the

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: quarterback is beginning to kind of play out because everyone

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: is featuring the past game to make everything's happen instead

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: of ring game. I want to hit you with this.

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Tell me what you think I mean, especially with j

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: J coming off the back. Antonio Brown is the best

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. Antonio Brown is a monster, and

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: I do believe he is the best player in the

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: game right now. I think he's unstoppable. If you look

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: at what he's been able to do with all the

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: attention around him. He continues to get open, he continues

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: to deliver big plays, and it doesn't matter who you

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: put opposite him. He finds a way to get it

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: done the way the Pittsburgh stills up playing on offense

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: with big band leaning on a b it's unbelievable that

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: people can't slow it that offense down. But it's also

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: the supporting cast around him. We see him the Angela

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Williams go for a hundred yards. You're seeing somebod these

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: young pass catchers, Sammy Coates catch balls over the middle,

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: Jesse James making plays Pittsburgh. Still, his offense is scary.

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: When they get Levian bail Back, well By agree with you,

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: this is uh, this is scary, scary football team there

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. But inside that division, it looks like maybe

54
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: we're kind of going back a few years ago where

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: Baltimore looked better defensively, kind of got all their guys back,

56
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: did nice shot against Buffalo, holding them to a touchdown.

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: And then you've got Cincinnati, maybe the most impressive win

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: outside of the Patriots since Nati going to the Jets

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: and and find a way to win that ball game.

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Very impressive effort be Cincinnati Bengals. They didn't have their

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: a game. They were missing a couple of players Office

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Vante's Berfeckt was sitting outdue to this expension, but they

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: found a way to get it done. Um Offensively, they're

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: not as dynamic or as tricky as they were under

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson, but they were very very effective. I like

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: how Andy Dalton played. He pushed the ball down the field.

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: He continued to play at a very very efficient rate.

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: And as a j Green gets more help from his

69
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: buddies on the outside, namely Brandon la Phil Tyler Boyd.

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: He will continue to dominate, but what we saw, he's

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: a one man gag. He can carry them if he

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: needs to. And the on offense, we're gonna get effort

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: back at some point in time too. Now you're looking

74
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: at the Steelers with a big win without Levon Bell,

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: and you look at the Bengals you mentioned perfect no effort.

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean these teams are only gonna get better as

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the season goes along. Here and then the Ravens and

78
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Nice Shop as well. Brown's not so much. But let's

79
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: jump to that game, because that was one we wanted

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: to keep an eye to see just how how Carson

81
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Wentz was gonna do. I don't know if you could

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: have a better day than than the rookie did there

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. You know, we always have loved the talent.

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Like for the middle of last season, we proclaimed him

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: to be a very intriguing player. He's a guy that

86
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: has outstanding size, outstanding athleticism, big time arm talent, and

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: from a work ethic standpoint, he has all the things

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: that you look for in a franchise quarterback. And what

89
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: we saw if you had an opportunity to look at

90
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: some of the pregame stuff and you see him coming

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: out to study, the detail that he put in his

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: preparation and then the way that he played. Man, if

93
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I am very encouraged by

94
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: the debut because I think they got one. I think

95
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: they have a franchise quarterback for a long time. And

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I thought the question with them too, was who's gonna

97
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball to receiver? Wise, George Matthews dropped the

98
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: ball or two, but still made some nice plays underneath

99
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: in traffic urts. I know got dinged up, but he

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: made a couple of plays for him and then Nelson

101
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Agler was nice to see him then his second year

102
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: start to show some progress there, got on top of

103
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden got himself six. Yeah, I mean but I

104
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: was very impressed. But not only like Carson Wentz and

105
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: the guy stepping up to make plays. I thought Doug

106
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Peterson Frank right, those guys had a nice plan, the

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: a great job of working inside out as we talked

108
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: about working the tight ends, selic and arts. I think

109
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: their ability to command some attention helped Aguilar and Jordan

110
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Matthews get open. And it's very systematic. They took care

111
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: of the ball, they did some things they didn't dunk

112
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: and jim Sports did a really good job with their defense. Yeah,

113
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: their their defense up front and led by Fletcher Cox

114
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: and company. Quite impressive. But I touched on it the

115
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: most impressive win of the weekend. I think you gotta

116
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: go Jimmy Garoppolo and and the Patriots without Gronk and

117
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: a couple of tackles and no Tom Brady, no no worries.

118
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: It's hard to go against Bill Belichick now. It's just

119
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: hard to do it because we've seen them repeatedly, no

120
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: matter who is the quarterback. No matter what pieces they're missing,

121
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: what pieces are jettison in the off season, they find

122
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: a way to continue to win games. He is a

123
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: master game planner, does a great job of finding ways

124
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: to really put his players in a position to make

125
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: strengths while also minimizing what the opponent wants to do.

126
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: The fact that they were able to take away the

127
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: deep ball from Carson Palmer and force him to play

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: kind of small ball says a lot about their ability

129
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: to craft a game plan to really exploit your vulnerability.

130
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Although I will say this, I know they lost a

131
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: football game, but I tweeted out I want to be

132
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald when I grow up. That dude is still

133
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: so strong and and the way he's able to catch

134
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: the football. There was one where he didn't get his

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: head around and the ball was on him and he

136
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: still caught it. He's so many players you talked about

137
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: the over we were talking on the phone. He made

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: the over to show to catch in the end zone.

139
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: That is remarkable. The way he's able to get his

140
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: feet down, control his body, contward his body. It just

141
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: goes to show you that why receivers can come and

142
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: so many different styles that you can find the way

143
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: to get him done. He's not a guy that necessarily

144
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: runs particularly fast, but his awareness, his body control, his

145
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: subtle athleticism allows him to be a playmaker. And I

146
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you can find a guy with better

147
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: hands in Larry Fitzgerald. No, it's ridiculous. Um, the Houston

148
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Texans went back and watched all their third down or

149
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: just their their pass rush. So when you look at

150
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: what they do and they move guys around, but there's

151
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: some snaps where you'll have Clowney and what it ends,

152
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: and they'll use Merciless kind of as a looper. And

153
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: then there's other times where they put which I like

154
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: the best is when they put Merciless on one side

155
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and they line up what inside of j J inside

156
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: of Clowney there side by side, which kind of reminds

157
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: me of what the Niners used to do with Alden

158
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: and Justin Smith and what's not all the way back

159
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: yet you know his he's his back. You can tell

160
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: he's he didn't have all that snap in him right

161
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: now that will come back. But man, this team with

162
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: the weapons they have Lamar Miller, I think one of

163
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: two running backs over Hunter yards Dan Angel Williams the

164
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: only other guy, but the weapons they have in the

165
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: backfield and now with Fuller to compliment Hopkins, they're built

166
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: to get a lead, Bucky, and they're definitely built defensively

167
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: to play with one. They are built to play with one,

168
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: and I think that was the biggest challenge when you

169
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: look at the Houston Texas in UM. I won't say

170
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the underperformance of Jadeveon Clowney, but his unavailability due to

171
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: the injury when they took him. We're like, man, they

172
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: could have a formidable front seven, a dominant front seven

173
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: for a long time to come, and we're beginning to

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of see that even though J. J. Watt isn't healthy.

175
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Jadeveon clown they planned a long side what and then

176
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: having merklists on the other side. It's a handful because

177
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: how do you slide your protection to protect against one

178
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: of those guys, and if you do, someone's gonna have

179
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: one on. John Simon got free that they were worried

180
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: about those dudes, and John Simon came a little good

181
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: enough and they're good enough to create problems for your

182
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: offensive attack without having to really blitz. I just like

183
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: what they have at Romeo Carneal's disposal and you talk

184
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: about that offense, that offense is gonna be terrific, but defensively,

185
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: they have a championship caliber defense already in place. Alex Smith,

186
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I was watching that game with the Chargers, and I

187
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: know you've touched on this. We both gave him big

188
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: grades coming out. I know I think you were even

189
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: stronger on him than I was. A wee had the

190
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: bottom of the first round grade on are we are

191
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: we selling him short? I think so because I think stylistically,

192
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: people want to buy into the narrative that your franchise

193
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: quarterback has to have the biggest arm, he has to

194
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: make these wild gunslinger plays, and that's not necessarily the case.

195
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: What I want is a smart quarterback, a guy that

196
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: makes great decisions. I gotta have some athleticism to work

197
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: his out of trouble, but he wins games. And if

198
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: you've seen Alex Smith since the final year in San

199
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Francisco when he was with Jim Harbaugh to coming over

200
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, all he's been able to do is

201
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: win games, and he does it in a way that

202
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: is I don't say it's non spectacular, but it's just

203
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: he just kinda is the mail man. He distributes the ball,

204
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: allows his playmakers to work. But he's also a much

205
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: better athlete that people give him credit for the fact

206
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: that he ran the speed option at the end nice

207
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people have not really appreciated what he

208
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: was at Utah in terms of being a spread offense

209
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: quarterback under Meyer. He ran the ball, will say, his

210
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: senior year, his last his final year at Utah, he

211
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: had maybe seven hundred yards rushing. He's a much better

212
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: athlete than people give him credit for. Andy Reid and

213
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: his staff have done a great job of utilizing his

214
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: mobility and his athleticism by doing some things that are

215
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: very comfortable for Alex from his time at Utah. No,

216
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: he he did a phenomenal job in that football game.

217
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: And we'll see when they get Houston back, you know,

218
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: eventually this defense, so I think you'll see them take

219
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: a step up. The crushing news from the weekend though,

220
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: our guy Keenan Allen, I mean, this is just brutal.

221
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: He was off to a great start. Philip Rivers clear

222
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: number one guy and uh just got a new contract

223
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: and unfortunately lose him to a c L. Week one

224
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate because he was really coming to his own

225
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: um coming off to injury last year. We're excited to

226
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: see him get back, see how he and Philip Rivers

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: continue to develop, uh that continuity and chemistry that has

228
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: really made this a nice uh pass catching conboy tandem.

229
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: What I hurt for is the fact that Keenan Allen

230
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: was not necessarily a fast guy ahead of time. How's

231
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: he going to recover and can he uh change his

232
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: body enough to be able to still dominate while still

233
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: being maybe a speed deficient player. The one thing we

234
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: know he's gonna work at it. Uh. He's like a

235
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: nice message on Facebook and Instagram about coming back and

236
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: bouncing back from those obstacles in adversity. I think he

237
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: will eventually be fine, But man, the charges miss a

238
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: dominant receiver on the edge. You know always say in scouting,

239
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: or at least I I always have. I don't know

240
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: if you're with me on this, but I always say,

241
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: no matter what you give a player grade wise when

242
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: you're evaluating them coming out of college, eventually you'll see

243
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: that player. Now he he might that might you know,

244
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: just show up a little bit and say you you

245
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: uh you give a player a huge grade and and

246
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: you know he doesn't end up being that player. Well,

247
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: there'll be a flash. You'll see a flash of what

248
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: you saw in college eventually. And I'm watching that game

249
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: with the Rams and the forty buck and I HARKing

250
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: back to my case Keenum scouting report, I'm I thought

251
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: it's a practice squad quarterback that eventually could be a

252
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: serviceable backup with you know, a lot of development. But

253
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a clipboard holder. And you watch that

254
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: game last night, but that didn't look like an NFL

255
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: starting quarter But didn't like an NFL quarterback, No, I didn't.

256
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: And a lot of times, you know, DJ people like

257
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: to take us a task because how can you miss?

258
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: And I wrote a piece, uh last Friday and my

259
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: notebook about this the undrafted free agents, and we're seeing

260
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: that they're just as many undrafted free agents in the

261
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: league as there are first and second round picks. But

262
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, and there are some miss evaluations,

263
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: and we do miss on players from time to time,

264
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: but a lot of times there's a reason why I

265
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: guy as an undrafted free agent just from a talent perspective.

266
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: And so when you look at Case Keenum, and even

267
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: if you look at some of the late round picks

268
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: that are playing quarterback and starting games, with the exception

269
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady and those things, a lot of those

270
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: guys are kind of our mid to lower level starting quarterbacks.

271
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: And part of it is because they have some kind

272
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: of deficiency physically that prevents them from doing it. If

273
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: you had the opportunity to stand behind Case Keenum, He's

274
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: a smaller guy. He doesn't have a big arm. For

275
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: him to be successful over a sustained period of time,

276
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: he has to be extraordinary with his timing, touching, anticipation,

277
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if he has it to

278
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: be that guy weekend week out against elite defense. I'm

279
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: torn on the golf thing because I mean, you watched

280
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: Kse Keena and go. I don't care how bad Jeried

281
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: golf looked. I've seen him play at a higher level.

282
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: How Like, he's got to be better than this. Just

283
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: throw him out there and then uh, And then the

284
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: other side of it is, man, this offensive line is

285
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: so bad that your golf might get killed back there

286
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: right now, he may get and you know, I think

287
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: one of the things that that we're missing in the

288
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: Rams offense evaluation. Greg Robinson, man, I think, man, we missed.

289
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: I gave him a big old grade. Now we missed

290
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: him only because like he was a road grader and

291
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: it looked really good in Auburn's offense. But he doesn't

292
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: have the footwork in the in the athleticism to be

293
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: able to hold up. And so this is number two

294
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, someone that you're talking about. It

295
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be a franchise left tackle. And I know

296
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: we had missed on those offensive tackles the last couple

297
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: of years at the top of the board, but he

298
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: is a miss and part of his inability to hold

299
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: up his own end of the bargain affects the quarterback.

300
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: And while the quarterback isn't able to play, even though

301
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: we know the case, keenom is kind of marginalized in

302
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: terms of what he can do. So you you all

303
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: in on blink Abbert uh No. I tweeted out a picture.

304
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: How did you see? I tweet out a picture Rick

305
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: Vaughan from from Wild from Major League the Wild Thing,

306
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: because we just talked about it in the preseason game

307
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: where they tried to scheme him up so many layups

308
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: early in that game. They did it again tonight and

309
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: he skipped a couple of balls out on white out screens,

310
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? Oh yeah, But then you

311
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: saw they patted his stats at the end of the game,

312
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: like they kind of got him going on stand line.

313
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: Looked pretty good. He had a nice couple of four

314
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: minute offenses. Yeah, quint Quinn Patton getting the ball on

315
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: the outside. But no, Blake Garber is what Blaine Garber

316
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: is like. I think he's um an intriguing prospect in

317
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: terms of what he brings to the table like height, weight, speed, size, arm, talent.

318
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: But I just don't know if consistently over the long

319
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: call he can be good enough for you to play

320
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: winning football. We'll see. San Francisco certainly can give him

321
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: every opportunity to chip Kelly's offense. One dude that jumped

322
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: out when I went back and watch the tape of

323
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: these games, Bucky Jason, Pierre Paul got him back. He's

324
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: back now, got him back. You notice you notice what

325
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: they did. They kind of moved him. They moved into

326
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: left defensive. He Doug Free didn't want he got sick

327
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: of seeing him. Now. Yeah, they put it which which

328
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: I think is a brilliant move twofold by putting him

329
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: at left defensive and you allow him to work against

330
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: right tackles. Right tackles traditionally are the weaker offensive tackle.

331
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: You have to help them a lot. If you don't

332
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: help them a lot, they can be vulnerable and susceptible

333
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: against a really quality pass rusher and Jason b Are

334
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Paul has figured out how to work around his deficiencies

335
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: with his hand, and so he's giving people problems and

336
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: if you run away from him, you run it right

337
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: into Olivia Vernon. The New York Giants have done a

338
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: nice job of assembling pieces. We'll see if they can

339
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: maintain it. But what El saw from that that defense

340
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: was very, very impressive to me. All right, Buck, I'll

341
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: hit you with my question. This is my Ask five question.

342
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: I do that Ask five article every week for college

343
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and uh sometimes I like try and mix it together

344
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: with the college in the NFL. So my question to

345
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the five NFL executive what was better player Dalvin Cook

346
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: at Florida State right now? Dalvin Cook or Ezekiel Elliott? Oh,

347
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: what's you think? That's a tough one. I would take

348
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliot Steel I'm still basing that largely off of

349
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: what he was able to do in college at Ohio State,

350
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: the physicality and toughness. But I mean I can make

351
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: that argument. I can look at the stat line and

352
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: say that Davin Cook was just as productive and just

353
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: as effective. Um, he's a little slippery. He has some things.

354
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: Gets Charleston Southern I had I was required to grade him.

355
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: He didn't get much. He had a little work, had

356
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: a nice little run. But he has a touchdown run,

357
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: a thirty seven yeard touchdown run on an is so

358
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: to the left where he kind of loses his balot,

359
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: puts his hand in the ground in the hole, pops up, wiggles,

360
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: comes out of it, snaps back. Now. I know, look,

361
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Charleston Southern, they don't have enough quality guys to really

362
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: make that. But just the way that he went through that,

363
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: I was like, man, that's a big time talent. So

364
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: your close. But I would take Zeki Elliot in that. Yeah,

365
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: I would take Elliott too. But I think I ended

366
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: up getting three votes for for Delphin Cook. Wow, something

367
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: to get excited about for next year's draft. We're gonna

368
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: have a bunch of these running backs A bunch of

369
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of the running backs um are intriguing, and

370
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: it would just be interesting because I'm still looking for

371
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback that's gonna drive the bus. And maybe your

372
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: guy is going to be the guy to Shaun Kayser.

373
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: But right now, I can absolutely see the thought process

374
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: behind the Philadelphia Eagles and even the l A. Ram

375
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: saying we'll get to the top of the board, We're

376
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna take a quarterback this year because DJ I don't

377
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's I don't know if there's

378
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback in next year's draft. Could be, it could be,

379
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: it could be you gotta hold out hope for Josh

380
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: Rosen And now it looks like Jackson in there. Mark,

381
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean yeah, like I'm still not like

382
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: ready to throw away to Shaun Kaiser, DeShawn Batson, to

383
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: those other guys. But in terms of from a buzz standpoint,

384
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: like feeling like, Okay, there's my guy, I don't know

385
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: if I don't know if it's a situation where that

386
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: dude that we all can universally say, okay, that's a

387
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: first round quarterback. Now, I don't know if we have

388
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: that yet. No, it's a it's a good point. Let's

389
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: get one more NFL thing and then we'll switch over

390
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: here to college. But I thought one of the more

391
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: interesting games, So actually two more games. Your quick take

392
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: on Stafford and this Calvin Johnson list offense for the

393
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions getting to win over Andrew Lucking Company. And

394
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: then the second one would be Russell Wilson on a

395
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: gimp ankle, just kind of pulling out another miracle up there.

396
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford benefits from the fact that Calvin Johnson is

397
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: no longer there. You're you're in the camp of It's

398
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: a good thing. It sounds crazy, but I will go

399
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: back to my time in Green Bay. Brad Farf has

400
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: sterling sharp the first couple of years that he was

401
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, and so everything went in down. He

402
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: threw the eighty four and when you removed eighty four,

403
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: it forced brad Ford to use other parts of the offense,

404
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: and that took his game to another level. With Matthew Stafford,

405
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: without Calvin Johnson, he's now having to use all the

406
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: pieces of the puzzle. You have. Quarterback gurus talk about

407
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: you have to exhaust the play, meaning first, second, third

408
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: option of the progression, even the checkdown. What I'm seeing

409
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: from Detroit and Matthew Stafford is he's using all of

410
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: those things. I also noticed when I look not only

411
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: at the film but the stat sheet, uh theoretic at

412
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: four or five receptions a meerb Doula have five or

413
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: six receptions. So when you have that many receptions, going

414
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: to what I call those checkdown guys is saying to

415
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: me that he's avoiding pushing the ball up the field

416
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: and he's playing small ball. And in the National Football League,

417
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: small ball is ultimately what wins because you complete a

418
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: high percentage, you passes, you stay ahead of the chains,

419
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: and you're able to always keep your team in manageable situations.

420
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: Matt staff has been outstanding doing that the last nine

421
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: games that he's played. Did you see see him jump

422
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: his dude? I did. I didn't really like that, but

423
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: I understood it. He has to be careful now, he

424
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: has to be careful with that little headbut in there.

425
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: But you know what that moment was for me, because

426
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: even though you can say you're the leader of the

427
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: team and you're the quarterback and all that, the best

428
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: player on the team is is somewhat your leader and

429
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson for so long, it's been the best player

430
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: on that offense. Now he wasn't vocal, but you still

431
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: he was identified. I don't know how much of a

432
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: strong leadership hold you can take if you're Matthew Stafford,

433
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: You're not the best guy on the offense. Now that

434
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: that moment was I'm I'm the captain. I'm the captain.

435
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: Now that was that was his whole moment. I mean

436
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: I can see that because I don't know if I've

437
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: ever seen him do that be that demonstrative in a

438
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: leadership way. Um, I do believe maybe that was kind

439
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: of the official owning of to see this on the

440
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: chest and I'm the captain, I'm gonna run the show.

441
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm in charge. Is now a quarterback driven team. So yeah,

442
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: maybe that's the moment. But it's a big for him

443
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: because the fact that they got to win. Because it's funny,

444
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: two years ago, the Detroit lines were pretty good, pretty

445
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: good team. Last year they fell back to the pack.

446
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: I think we've kind of forgotten about him, But when

447
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: I looked at them defensively, they played pretty good. And

448
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: then on offense, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate not as sexy

449
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: as Calvin Johnson. But they're very, very productive. Now, one

450
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: thing I will say, the Colts been missing everybody. I

451
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: think on that last route drive they were down to

452
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: seven starters. We have a bunch of dudes and not

453
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: dressed up for this game. So the Colts aren't gonna

454
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: be that great defensively anyways. But they were really bad.

455
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Oh yes, But even even with that, even when they

456
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: have a full gamut of players, the one thing that

457
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: they've missed on they don't have a pass rusher. No

458
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: that they I agree with you, they have no pass rusher,

459
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: but I think the secondary getting Vante Davis back in company.

460
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: T J. Green, a rookie from Clemson safety from Central Florida, gathers, Yeah,

461
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: they had a little box safety because didn't have Pops

462
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: uh oh to play. Mike Adams still playing, So they're

463
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: missing some dudes. But you know, and on the other

464
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: side of I thought, Andrew luck looked great. He's four

465
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns and uh, they're gonna score a bunch of points.

466
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: Right let go to Seattle. I mean, Russell Wilson. Wilson,

467
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: does do you have any doubt at all? I mean

468
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I feel I felt like particularly at home today. We're

469
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to win the game. Uh. Pretty

470
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: impressive with Doug Ballwin still continue to be the number

471
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: one receiver. Um Seattle's offense always judicially starts off slow

472
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: first half of the seas until they find their identity

473
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: and find their way. Defense continues to play lights out.

474
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you hold teams timp although Kenny Stills, Man,

475
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: how you dropped that ball? Huge drop and I knew

476
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: it was a huge drop because you don't give me

477
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: any opportunity to dialed up. You dialed up perfectly. You

478
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: hit the guy in the hands and he just dropped it.

479
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the weird thing is when you see him

480
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: drop it, he washed it all the way into his

481
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: hands and just for whatever reason, he flubbed it. But

482
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: that was a huge one because you don't get that

483
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: one back. I will say, very pressed with the Dolphins defense,

484
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: vantage Joseph did a good job of getting that front

485
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: four involved. If they can get that continued effort from

486
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: their defense, they'll win some games. I'm with you on that.

487
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's change gears here, Sully behind the glass.

00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Look at you? Yeah that was pretty nice. You miss

503
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:19,920

504
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: up set over over Arizona State, Arizona State and that shootout.

505
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: You picked Arizona State tea, Yeah, I picked Tech. So

506
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: I still scored again, I think. Yeah, Holy smokes, that

507
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: was classic, big twalve pack twave right there, no defense right,

508
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: um buck. Biggest takeaway from the college football weekend in

509
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma State call getting kind of screwed up there

510
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: at the end. All that was that was sweet though, Yeah,

511
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: but it was. It was a sweet play, nice awareness,

512
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: nice play, able to get it done. The biggest takeaway

513
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: Georgia almost lost Nicols man, I mean Clemson messed around

514
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: with Troy uh it was. It was a great slated game.

515
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: Oh tc U. Arkansas was probably the game. It was

516
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: the story of that very good game. Kenny Kenny, Kenny

517
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: Hill had a nice game, had a a bone headed

518
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: mistake with the It was the christ that kid came in,

519
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: came came in to causton. But your guy stood out

520
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: to me in the Arkansas games. Sprinkle that's my dude,

521
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: the sprinkle sprinkles cupcakes. It's a great job catching the

522
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: ball over the middle. Let's in the water in Fabille

523
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: after Hunter Henry, I told you that, right I when

Speaker 1: I watched him, I thought it was And I want

525
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: to say also, Bilma has a history. Maybe he has

526
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: seven uh NFL tight ends that it worked up on

527
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,199

568
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: loss for Tampa. But so maybe you can try them

569
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: out on the road against Tampa a couple of rookies. Yeah,

570
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean any of those division games and no, no, buyo, no,

571
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: I think I think you tried him out there because

572
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: I wanted who to play. Week four Bills our Cardinals.

573
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me. So it goes Cardinals Bill, So

574
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: no help there? Uh, Ben, Lions? How long can you

575
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: keep him out? Though? I don't know how about you.

576
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what I'm doing.

577
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Do you rom to the Lions? No? Well after that,

578
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go up to Corvallis, Oregon and I'm gonna

579
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: grab my Sean Manion and I'm gonna fire him in

580
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: the offense, he'd be start from a week two. I

581
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: know what Case Keenum is. Sean Manion look pretty good.

582
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: They're stuck with because they really went hard on Case Keenum.

583
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: They sold him hard. They sold him to a he

584
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: can be a starting quarterback, everybody did. I talk to

585
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: him to build and said, oh we we feel like

586
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: we can win with him. He's a baller. But now

587
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: you look at it and that was an ugly performance.

588
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: But now that you look at it, like Canny score

589
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the Rams, first points we need to see this is

590
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: we talked about getting the movie drops to have on

591
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: the on the podcast. Right that that was the homework

592
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: that that we're still I worked on. I looked into

593
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: it so it wasn't a complete fail because the other

594
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: thing I would like to do is I like to

595
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: put our own little edit on some some lyrics that

596
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: can be scouting friendly. Oh yeah, because Bismarck key. Instead

597
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: of just a friend, I would like to change the

598
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: change to just a guy. Say he's just the guy,

599
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: just the guy. That's like when we do case keenum talk.

600
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: I want to be able to drop just the guy. Yeah, alright, sorry,

601
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: that's your assignment. All right, that's it, all right, that's
