1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome and move the stick DJ, Bucky

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: back with you. Coming off of a really incredible Week

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: three of NFL football, Buck, But one of those incredible

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: games was not the Money Night game. Not the Money

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Night game was different. It was fun. If you were

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys fan, you saw some of the stuff

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: that you wanted to see. You saw the two headed

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: monster running back get off and get loose Ezekie Elliott,

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. You saw Kellen Moore commit to a more

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: balanced offensive approach would look good. And Dan Quinn in

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: the defense um has been as advertised. And for me,

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: just like with you and your affiliation with the Charges,

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 1: when you get a chance to see what people doing

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: on practice fields and then you see it begin to

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: show up in in the game, you like that. And

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: so watching the Cowboys of training camp a few different times,

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: watching them make an emphasis on producing turnovers and I

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: mean countless drills they devoted to that part of it.

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: To see them begin to to take the ball away

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: at the level that they're taking it away, it does

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: show you that how you practice, certainly impacts how you

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: perform on game. Game. I want to go back, um,

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: because when you're watching that game and I'm sitting there

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're in the same boat. Anybody that's

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: scouted us in this boat. When you're watching and you're like,

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: wait a second, what do I give Trevon Diggs coming out?

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: What I have on him? Because he looks like he

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: might be the second or third best corner in the NFL.

30
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: The way's by saw him against the charges, what he

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, nobody covers keenan Allen. Nobody, Um, he did

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: a nice job against him in that game. And you

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: come back in this game, Um, And and he saw that,

34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: you know him off coverage, reading the drop, driving to

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: pick six. So he was my forty ninth player too

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: low man, uh six oh one, three, two oh five.

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: So he's that's a big corner man, Um. I said size.

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at my notes your size A ball

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: skills as athletic ability for those who don't know, wide receiver,

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: kickoff returner at Bama's fluid, he's an average tackler, he's

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: best to off coverage, question deep speed, and I don't

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: think he ran a forty right so I don't think

43
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: there was a forty on. I don't have one in

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: the computer here, so I don't think he. I don't

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: think he ran. You know who my comp was? I

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: keep to Leave. That's a great com He kind of

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: looks like him, right, Like watching that game last night,

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: he kind of He's got a little bit of that

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: Keeps swagger to him as well. Yeah, I keeps. Really

50
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: that's a great comp because if you go all the

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: way back, and I think what's important about comps is

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: not only like how those guys played in the pros,

53
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: but if you knew what a keep to lead play

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: like in college, very similar to the way Digs plays,

55
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: A keep to leave was one of the best ball

56
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: hawking corners that you would find. I remember going to

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Kansas when Kansas was actually an NFL power factory, when

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: they were producing NFL talent. In fact, they went to

59
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: the Orange Bowl, if you can imagine, Kansas went to

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: the Orange but Maino, right, yeah, man Gino and keep

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: to Leave and those guys. And so here's what I

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: would say about Digs and maybe the lesson that we

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: can learn. He checked off the boxes when it came

64
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: to height, size, athleticism, and you even mentioned ball skills

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: in terms of is a former receiver former receiver, then

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the toughest thing I believe to do is to play

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: corner from off and to make plays. Meaning you have

68
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: back pedal footwork, you have the ability to break and drive,

69
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: you can see it and do those things whatever. So

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: all those things that you mentioned in your report last night,

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: he showed you all of those things. The interception came

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: when he was in off coverage. He reads the hashplit

73
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: up split alignment of the receivers, So hashplit rules for

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: those who explain, explain that for those who don't know.

75
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: When you're playing cornerback, hash split rule is where the

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: ball is on the hash and where the split of

77
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: the receiver is. Meaning if I am playing right corner,

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: if the ball is on the from the defensive purposes

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: on the right hash of the defense, where the receiver

80
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: lines up is an indicative of what route he's likely

81
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: to run. So we'll use the numbers all right, and

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: normally I use high school number because I'm most familiar

83
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: with those right now, having coach in high school. So

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: if the ball is on the near hash and the

85
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: receiver lines up on the top of the numbers. So

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: when you look at the numbers, look at it from

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: the sideline. The bottom is departed, it's closest to the sideline.

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: The top is the farthest away from the sideline. So

89
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: if the guy lines up at the top of the numbers,

90
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: he's going either across the field or he's running an

91
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: outbreaking route. So your alignment and leverage as a corner

92
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: should be outside because I'm anticipating an outside breaking route.

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: So now my leverage is already outside when I see

94
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: him come up the field. As soon as his head

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: turns like he's going outside, I can drive it because

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I have it. So that's what hash flitt means. If

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: the ball is in the middle, we use the numbers.

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: If he's plus one on top of the numbers, okay,

99
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: he's more likely to run an outbreaking he's plus two

100
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: top of numbers, outbreaking those things. So when you take

101
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: the hash flit rule, Dad now tells you, Okay, what

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: is receiver lineup? He's most likely to run this. Well,

103
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: then you add what they call key in the three steps.

104
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: So in old football, the quarterback was always under center

105
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: if it was a short pass. As you know, as

106
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback, three step, five step or seven step drop. Well,

107
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: three step drop. It's a quick pass that is always

108
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: tied to a three step drop from the quarter slant

109
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: quick out hit slant quick out. So, as a dB,

110
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: when you see a quarterback pull up at three steps,

111
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: your eyes go back to the receiver and it's one

112
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: of those hits. Slant quick out is coming. When then

113
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: when you marry hash flit with three steps, you now

114
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: I can begin to anticipate in guests what the slant? Yeah,

115
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I can a close alignment. Okay, that means outbreaking route problem.

116
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so outbreaking route. Now I'm looking at the things.

117
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: Oh three steps, Oh this is quick gone. And what

118
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: you saw was Trayvon Diggs put all of that information

119
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: together and DJ he didn't slow down on that, like

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: when when he got the clue as soon as he

121
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: saw Jalen pop gone. Now three step the three step

122
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: route and shotgun it changes because when you go shotgun

123
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: from under center five basically right, it's catch rock and throw.

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: So if I'm throwing a quick game, he catches it.

125
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: He just so. Now, if you teach the cornerback a look,

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: if he catches and resets his feet. It is a

127
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: quick game. So now eyes go back to the receiver.

128
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: And that's basically what James the Hurst did. Catches it,

129
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: he rocks gone, don't waste time. He trusted it. And

130
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: so Diggs has become so good at that that now

131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: he gets I mean he's getting these picks. The guy

132
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: that you were in Philadelphia, a Sante Samuel, he might

133
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: be the best that I've ever seen it. He could

134
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: do it and he would just go Now he's gonna

135
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: get fooled. And so you gotta be okay, like, hey,

136
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: he might give them seven, but he is going to

137
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: get us more picks. And we can shake a stick

138
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: and and we have to be able to live with

139
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: now old. It makes me feel to watch a Sante

140
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Samuel Jr. Every week calling the Charger games. He's got

141
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: and he's and he's just like his dad, Like he's

142
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: got two picks already back to back weeks diving interceptions.

143
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm like he sees it. He knows, he knows how

144
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: to adjust off of man to the ball. Like there's

145
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: some guys that are they are so tunnel vision and

146
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: when you're in any type of a man coverage and

147
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: then and it's like, wait where the ball go? Like that?

148
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Like he that ability to see through the man to

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: the ball is unique. Man, and those guys that have that,

150
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now ball is overthrown. I'm off him.

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm I don't care. I'm gonna get the ball. And

152
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: what you're staying here with him for? The ball is

153
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: going there? Passer Tan Jr. Yeah same same thing, Yeah,

154
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: same thing. Oh yeah, the receivers. Oh yeah, he's not different.

155
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: The balls in the air. I'm doing I'm going to

156
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 1: the ball. But how many times, I mean, it sounds,

157
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: it sounds a common sense, But how many times do

158
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: you watch guys I stay plastic, I did my job,

159
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: I got my got covered here and play. Yeah, but

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: the balls over there, balls up? It is. It is

161
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: such a joy to watch guys who know how to

162
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: do it because it's a game changing because when they

163
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: do it dj it, it flips the field, They get

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the turnovers, they make things happen, and it is extraordinary.

165
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where like when we're scouting,

166
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: going all the way back to you talk about digs report,

167
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: it's those little things that you're looking at like, hey,

168
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: did I'm did I not see something this And I

169
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: also think the wide receiver in Trayvon Diggs is background

170
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: is huge because when we talk about ball skills, ball

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: skills are not the ability just the ability to track it,

172
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: but can you catch it? Yeah, I want to say

173
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: DJ he's played maybe seventeen games. I think in the

174
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: last eight games he there has six seven picks that

175
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: he's played I guess a ridiculous number where they come

176
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: in bunches. But now that he's getting his hands on it,

177
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's different. So Dan Quinn, Joe Witt Junior,

178
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: they've done a great job of kind of getting him

179
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: up to speed because this guy is playing this year

180
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: is different than when that we saw last year. So

181
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: a couple more takeaways in this game. And I don't

182
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: want to spend a lot of time on Deck because

183
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: I think everybody in the broadcast and everything is hit

184
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: and every show in America is talking about how great

185
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: Deck's playing, and he is playing phenomenal. Um. I think

186
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: we can both agree on that he's very much in

187
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: the m v P race. He's confident, he's comfortable. UM,

188
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: he's incredibly accurate. UM, he's he's he's worth the money.

189
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: He's easily worth the money. I feel like we lobbied

190
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: on this show, on this podcast, just paying just paying him.

191
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: He's got it, you know, he's got it. The other

192
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: pieces around him, you can fill in around him, but

193
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: he don't worry about him. He's good. Um, But that

194
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: that was an obvious takeaway from that game. Um, the

195
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: other one you mentioned Kellen Moore for a minute there. Um,

196
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna have his pick man like he if he

197
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: wants a college job, he's gonna be able to go

198
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: get a college job. I think he is. He's still

199
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: like the winningest quarterback in college football history, made his

200
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: up there hanging like fifty wins or something like that

201
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: at Boise, so he can go be a college coach.

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why you want to do that, though,

203
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: because he's right on the doorstep to getting NFL head

204
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: coaching job. And I don't know if we had talked

205
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I talked to you before about him with tempo, like

206
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: what he did with tempo, or if we had that

207
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: conversation or not. No, No, we hadn't, so so it

208
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: was interesting. Um. One of the things he did and

209
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: I saw it doing the Charger game when they played

210
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and he saw it a little bit last night.

211
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: But how many times do we see, um, oh this

212
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: is an up tempo team. Oh, this is a grinded

213
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: out team. Like some games, We're gonna push it some

214
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: games and hold back. One of the things Kellen Moore

215
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: does as good or better than anybody is constantly from

216
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game to the end of the game,

217
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: varying the tempo, so you do not know what you get.

218
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: And one of the points was, think about it. If

219
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: you're a defensive lineman, all of a sudden, we get

220
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: I get out, put my hand in the ground, and

221
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: now I'm sitting down here for twenty seconds before they

222
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: snap the ball next, next, next play, I'm kind of

223
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: lazily getting put my bone ball, ball snap, They're gone.

224
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: The next time, it's ten seconds, then it might be twenty,

225
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: then thirteen, then two, then six. Like they don't allow

226
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: you to get comfortable. And for as much as we

227
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: talk about pastors getting in a rhythm, pass rushers get

228
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: in a rhythm. To man, when you can get down

229
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: and kind of get a feel for that that same

230
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: cadence and that same timing, it's just different. Man, And

231
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: he does a really good job. When you when you're

232
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: thinking about ways to be innovative, I think people think

233
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,479
Speaker 1: of oh, play design, play calls. You can be creative

234
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: with varying your tempo and not just you know, hey,

235
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: end of the half into the game, but varying the

236
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: temple every single series. Man, That's that's there's really interest

237
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: in DJ. And you talk about killing Moore here, here's

238
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: here's what I like about what you brought up and

239
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: it it kind of ties into college and its unfortunately

240
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson will not get in the game. But when

241
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: you go all the way back and you think about

242
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: who killing more played for Chris Peterson being the coach

243
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: and the offensive coordinated. If you think about those Boise teams,

244
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: the other thing that they always did at Boise, think

245
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: about the number of shifts with those ends backs and fullbacks,

246
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: and and all of the pressure that they put on

247
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: you to get lined up and get lined up correctly.

248
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Shift motion boom, shift motion boom, quick oh big play

249
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: go again. All of the constant pressure that you just

250
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: don't know what you're dealing with. Speed it up, slow

251
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: it down, unbalanced, uh, unbalanced quick game. But I didn't

252
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: even I didn't even I didn't put that together, but

253
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: you know what, that's exactly I'm thinking that's exactly where

254
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: that came from with Kellen. That's a great call. It

255
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: goes back to boys and to your point, Buck, the

256
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: shift's e motion. You know what happens. All of a sudden,

257
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: you come up to the line scrimmage. The defense is

258
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: looking like this, Okay, what shift? They just snapped the ball?

259
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: Shift the emotion. I'm on my heels, like, you can't

260
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: get comfortable against it. Yeah, you can't. You can't get comfortable.

261
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: You can't get comfortable against you. You You don't know what's happening.

262
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: You're you're confused, Hey, what what the ball? The center?

263
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: Well it's five on this side, so we got no

264
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: they just moved. So now is so? Then what happens

265
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: is the defensive play called It gets so nervous. Hey,

266
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: let's just play. But let's just so now they dictated

267
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: the terms. They got you like, oh oh, now you're

268
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: playing like we want to play? Okay, cool, I got five.

269
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: I got four or four or five beaters for that coverage.

270
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: We know we're gonna get it every play because this

271
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: guy is too scared to get They can't get lined up.

272
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: They can't get lined up. They can't do their exotic

273
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: blitz is Oh you're gonna run your old nickel dame

274
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: running to the field. Oh no, no no, no, you're not

275
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: getting that playoff. No, no, no, you're not getting them

276
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: to the field. I got you. It's what we also

277
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: see from Aaron Rodgers and those older quarterbacks. They get

278
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: you in the look oh we got Oh you're not

279
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: getting out that back to the time out. The other

280
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: thing that Aaron is notorious four is if his personnel

281
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: stays the same and you try and run guys on

282
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: off for running. You got twelve on the field, I

283
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: got a free shot. Um. But it's just that awareness,

284
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: and it doesn't like and I'll say this, you know,

285
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers have gotten some grief. They've had two touchdowns

286
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: over the last two games that were called off the

287
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: board because of illegal shifts, and obviously they've got to

288
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: clean that up. But I've also seen the impact of

289
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: all that motion communication and shifting to the point where

290
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the tape, watch Austin

291
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: Neckler's touchdown, Um, there's miscommunication. He's uncovered in the flat.

292
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City is all They're all over the place. Two

293
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: point conversion they get right on like as as the

294
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: ref spots of all for two point the version, they

295
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: get the person out there, boom they go and their

296
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City is trying to figure out what's going on there, misaligned.

297
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is literally uncovered. Nobody out there on a

298
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: two point version. So whow It's almost like an like

299
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: we talked about get off and pass rush, and you

300
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: know what we gotta We got two offside penalties a game.

301
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'm I'm I'm willing to live with with

302
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: some of those boo boos because it's the juice is

303
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: worth to squeeze, so to speak. You don't want the

304
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: illegal shifts, but man, that that's a stressor that you're

305
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: putting on defense when you're constantly shifting and moving, you know,

306
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: varying tempos, doing that other stuff. So here, I think

307
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: we had a point where I came here if I

308
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: talked to Chip Kelly with you without remember chip Kelly

309
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: and chip Kelly going all the way back to the

310
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Oregon days, tempo was his superpower because Oregan would go,

311
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just ripping off plays like you just

312
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: can't breathe. And then when Chip Kelly comes back into

313
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: the league, he kind of talks about, No, the advantage

314
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: now is varying your tempo. There you go playing fast,

315
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: playing slow spun. Yeah, it's you can never get into

316
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: a rhythm with the play caller. And Chip Kelly was

317
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: one of the first that we saw big play on

318
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the ball go like you get hit with the Haymaker,

319
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh boom on the ball. They're going right again, the

320
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: same play nitro or whatever. So it's being able to

321
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: literally in real time dictate the terms. That's great. That's

322
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: a great little nugget. I'm right, I'm writing it down

323
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: that that is a great reminder just how important tempo

324
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: is to the office and using it to your advantage.

325
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: And it's not something that's gonna show up right. So

326
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, statistically, I'm sure, and I know that the

327
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: database of numbers, you can probably say this team snaps

328
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: the ball on average with eight seconds on the play clock.

329
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: But that didn't tell you anything. If it's if it's not,

330
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: if it's not always you know, seven to ten. Instead

331
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: it's from two to twenty and everything in between, and

332
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: averages out to eight seconds, Like that doesn't give you

333
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: a feel for what you're getting ready to walk into. No,

334
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't give you a feel. And it's one of

335
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: those things where, um, you have no idea, what's that like,

336
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: you can't do it all tap like everyone is asking

337
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: and it's not until you get there. I don't know

338
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: if you remember there were years ago, Uh, Jerald McCoy

339
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers It might have been

340
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: when Great Shiana was there and they practiced against the

341
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, and Jerald McCoy was talking about going

342
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady and the Patriots and how they're having

343
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: a live period and they had never seen the tempo

344
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: that the Patriots operated. He was just like Mr Brady King,

345
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: we just get lyned. We just be able to stick

346
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: our hand down. And it is. It's one of those

347
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: things that great coaches have figured out. It is a

348
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: way to really control the game, control it in a

349
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: way that it's kind of unseen maybe to like the

350
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: casual fans like, oh, they're playing fast, like what's the

351
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: big deal, But insiders are like, oh man, they are

352
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: giving you so much. It's so much work, so much,

353
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: so many problems and all this stuff and just being

354
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: able to do all this stuff because as you talk about,

355
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: are you're going fast, fast fast, dummy? Count Okay, let's

356
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: look down. Oh we got you. Oh you're in and

357
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: with because remember in the pros, you now have the

358
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: guy the voice in your head, another set of eyes

359
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: up top. Another Oh hey, here we go. There they're

360
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: rolling down, rotation is down right, okay, check it all

361
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: right back yea, yeah. It's fascinating, man, it's fascinating how

362
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: you can be creative. There, go ahead. So now this

363
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: takes me to the conversation, right, and I'm sure we

364
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: were gonna talk about it anyway, but do you think

365
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: now in l A right because with the Rams, we

366
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: saw what Sean McVeigh was able to do with Jerry Golf,

367
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: right Like people kind of I would say that it

368
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: was an overblown story about a the Rams playing fast.

369
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: So Sean McVeigh could basically use Jerry Golf as the joystick.

370
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: Let's go fast. Let's get to the line of scrimmage.

371
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: The headset doesn't the mic doesn't shut off to fifteen seconds,

372
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: so if we get to the line, I now may

373
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: have fifteen to twenty seconds to identify what they're in.

374
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Give you the right play called give you a reminder

375
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 1: keep your eyes on this. Well, now let's just take it.

376
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Maybe a more talented player in Matthew Stafford, a more

377
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: experienced player then Jerry Golf considerably, so now you're playing.

378
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: I wonder how often they can get into the mix

379
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: into because we're seeing a ton of big plays from

380
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: the Rams off ense, and I hadn't paid attention and

381
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: try to put the correlation between are they playing faster

382
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: or whatever? But I do wonder if Sean McVeigh is

383
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: utilizing some of that temple so they can have the

384
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: steady dialogue of what do you like? Call what you like,

385
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Here's what's happening, this is what I see, or whatever,

386
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: here's what here's what I want to put. I'm gonna

387
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: put our guy Bill Smith on the case here because

388
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: he's the next gen stat's king. But I bet you

389
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: there's a way for us to find out how much

390
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: time was on the play clock for every touchdown pass

391
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: for for Matthew Stafford, or maybe even maybe it's explosive place.

392
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the better thing to do. Every explosive pass play,

393
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: when was the ball snaps? You know, maybe maybe we

394
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: get something, Maybe we don't, but it'd be a fun

395
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: thing to look at. I think it's a fun I

396
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: think it's a fun thing to look at because DJ So, Now,

397
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: let we talked about Tom Brady and these older quarterbacks.

398
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: Paid Manning did it for years or whatever. But I

399
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: think even with paid Manny, like, the technology was there,

400
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: but it's still not quite what it is now. So

401
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: now I think about what was doing that all by

402
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: himself on the field, right, So now I think about

403
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: taking an experienced quarterback that knows that exactly what he's seeing,

404
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: but he gets the benefit of having a Jedi master

405
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: in his ear to give another set of odes of

406
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: like hey, because it's not a two way communication, we're like, hey,

407
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: here's what we're seeing in the thing. It looks like

408
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: they may be rolling down this and that. Like you

409
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: got a menu of plays that you can call fro them?

410
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: What do you call? What? You like? That trust that

411
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: you now have when you have a high i Q quarterback,

412
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: a play caller who doesn't mind playing fast and manipulating

413
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: the game in that in that manner, I think it's

414
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: something to think about. It's fascinating. Um, all right, we're

415
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna get to some teams that are off to slow

416
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: starts and what that means right after this? All right, buck,

417
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: we're looking at some teams that traditionally powerhouse teams here

418
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: in the Nation Football Leaguey're off the slow starts. If

419
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: you've got the Patriots, Chiefs, Seahawks, and Steelers all sitting

420
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: at one and two. But I want to start with

421
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: the team that's owing three, um, and that's Indianapolis Colts.

422
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: And this is a team that, Man, they've had injuries.

423
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: You know, when your left tackle goes down, it's tough, man. Um.

424
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: Then they lose point Nelson the other day. Uh, Raton

425
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: Smith has been dinged up. You know, Carson is coming

426
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: off double ankles, you know. Um, but he he went

427
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: and tried to get through it. I'll start there. Though.

428
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: That was the first game of THEIRS that I studied. Offensively,

429
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: Carson probably shouldn't have played. Man. Uh he just he

430
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: looked beaten up. He was clunky. I've never seen him.

431
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: I've never seen a quarterback double clutch as much as

432
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: he did, like not not trusting anything that he sees.

433
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Uh nope, and then and then try and throw the

434
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: ball like it's just herky jerky, you know, feet you know,

435
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: feet trail in the eyes. I finally get here and

436
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: my feet are going left and I'm trying to throw

437
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: the ball out here in the balls all over the place,

438
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: like it was. It was not good. There was other time.

439
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: There was other times where, especially with somebody with his

440
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: experience level, where they've got the roofline is flat right,

441
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: You've got safety sitting there at ten yards. They don't

442
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: back up their flat footed run reads and they're just

443
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: hanging there and you've got a post shot right over

444
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: the top and like he doesn't let go um. But

445
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: so I'm watching them when I'm watching them struggle and

446
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: they're owing three, and you know it's okay. They they've

447
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: got good personnel, but the schedule is difficult. And then

448
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: when you factor in the playtime, that factors into what

449
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: the draft choices you give to Philadelphia. Even if Carson

450
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: starts playing better but the season has gone south, you

451
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: can't play him or you're gonna give up a first

452
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: round pick. About you can't write that. You can't do that.

453
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: I mean it would be it would be negligence if

454
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: you ended up, if you don't make the playoffs and

455
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: you have to give up your first round pick. That

456
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: you can't that can't happen. Yeah, so's it's really hard.

457
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: A couple of things to unwrap out of the conversation

458
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: with Carson wentz One. I think what everyone has to

459
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: appreciate and understand how difficult it is to go without

460
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: practice to playing in a game like some of the

461
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: things that these NFL players are able to do without

462
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: the superheroes. It's it's unbelievable to say, I'm not going

463
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: to practice all week, but here I am. I'm gonna play.

464
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: That's tough. Secondly, with with Carson Wins and Frank Rich

465
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: and all these other guys, like you're trying to figure

466
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: out the strength of your team, what you're doing it

467
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: with a bunch of injuries and different things that are

468
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: cloud Quinn Nelson goes out, So, now, what should be

469
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: one of the strong parts of your team, your offensive line,

470
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: you don't know about. So does that change the way

471
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: we go about our business? Do we run Jonathan Taylor

472
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: more or less? Because the offensive line isn't necessarily what

473
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: we want on the field, Carson is not necessarily protected. Um,

474
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: how do we handle that? Carson's ankles also bring up

475
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: a problem because now everyone is like Oh, well, you know,

476
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: passing in where he can get a shotgun or whatever.

477
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: But what if you're running back is not best suited

478
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: to operate out of the shotgun. It changes that. Now

479
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: if he is uh, if he goes upon the center, well,

480
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: can he run the stretch plate? Is Carson numble enough

481
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: to run the outside zone where he has to really

482
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: run out there to hand the ball to the running back?

483
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: Does it change the timing of the running game. So

484
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that you have to

485
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: put into consideration when you make the move to say, hey,

486
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Carson is gonna play regardless of whether the practices or not,

487
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: because it does impact a lot of different people. And

488
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: this offense is not played well and defensively, they also

489
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: haven't played to the same level that we saw him

490
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: play at last year. Now there's a lot of issues

491
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: there now. And I do look at their schedule here.

492
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: So they got there at the Dolphins, um, you know,

493
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: which the Dolphins are a little bit up and down,

494
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: but they have a good defense. Then they go to

495
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: the at the Ravens, so those are two tough defenses.

496
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Then you know, you get the Texans, okay, and then

497
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: you're at the Niners. And then Titans again. Um, so

498
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: that's their next little stretch there. These are doing no easies,

499
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: No there, There's there's nothing on the schedule where you

500
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: can look at and say, Okay, this is the time

501
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: and if they can make it, if they can make

502
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: it down then they get the Jets and the Jags

503
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: back to back, uh, and on the fourth and fourteenth

504
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: of November. So maybe that can give them some mo

505
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: mo going. But yeah, I don't that's gonna be tough

506
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: for them to be a playoff team with the injuries

507
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: that they've suffered and with the quarterback not looking like

508
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: he's in a good place right now. So that that's them.

509
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: Those other teams, uh, Patriots, Chiefs, Seahawks, Steelers. I feel

510
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: like we talked a lot about the Chiefs yesterday, so

511
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: we can cross them off. Um, Seahawks, we talked about

512
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: them on the show yesterday as well. So let's let's

513
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: look at Pats and Steelers. What do you uh? What

514
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: do you think they're the start with the Steelers, UM,

515
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: a couple of things with distillers, uh, and it brings

516
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: to a fascinating discussion about office and line running back

517
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: first round, what they should have done their last first

518
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: round pick. But the first thing is evaluating an older quarterback,

519
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: a guy who has been a long time franchise player

520
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: of yours. The hardest thing to do for organizations is

521
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: to separate rate um the evaluation from the adoration that

522
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: you have for the player. It's a good way to

523
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: put it. You can adore Ben Roethlisberger for everything that

524
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: he's meant to the franchise, the two super Bowls that

525
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: he's brought into the building, all of those things. But

526
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: there was a decision that needed to be made last

527
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: off season on how to proceed as a franchise with

528
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: or without Roethlisberger. And I believe that their emotions and

529
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: the sentence, the sentimental value that Roethlisberger brings led them

530
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: to think that they could get one more, one more

531
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: run out of number seven. And what we're seeing right now, DJ,

532
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: it won't happen. And I'm not saying that he is terrible.

533
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying he's not. And when when an older player

534
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: falls off, the things around him has to be. It

535
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: has to be a supreme team around him, and right

536
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: now they don't have that. So he looks bad. And

537
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: if you're going to bring it back. You can't bring

538
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: him back and think that you're can the fifty plus times.

539
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's the game is too hard. And

540
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: we saw we breathe, We see what all the older

541
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: guys like. It's it's hard to play this game as

542
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: an older player. Tom Brady is a unicorn, right, he

543
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: has some words that show up time to time. But

544
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is a unicorn. But the thought of like

545
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: these twenty year players at the position, and he messed up.

546
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: I also think that there's I think Tommy have to

547
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: go back and look at it. But when tom really

548
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: started dialing into his his fitness and his overall health,

549
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: you can't wake up and say I'm thirty six, now

550
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I care about my health and let's go play until

551
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: we're fifty. Like I needed to happen long before that,

552
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: you know. And Ben, the way he plays what made

553
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: him so great for so long, his ability to extend plays, absorbed,

554
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: absorbed shots, make things happen. When he was younger, have

555
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: take off, get what you can get, taking big hits,

556
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: and I remember Bart Scott just unloading on him several times.

557
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: And that's just one dude. Um. But Tom balls out, man,

558
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: He's not doing that. He's not taking that. So they

559
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: play the game differently. I think they've done it. They're

560
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: different in terms of how they've managed and maintain their

561
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: health and their bodies. So you know, it's again, it's

562
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: a tough one of the toughest things in team sports.

563
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: And it's easy to say, well, I'd rather get rid

564
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: of a guy a year too early than a year

565
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: too late. Easier said than done, because as you put it,

566
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: you get attached to what's been accomplished as opposed to

567
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do going forward. It's hard to

568
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: make their breakup right, It's hard to make their breakup

569
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: um when you know it may need it needs to

570
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: be made, and what's happening is the Steelers are having

571
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: to work around it. So now, look, you made You

572
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: made a decision that Ben Brothlisberg is gonna be your quarterback,

573
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: So now is all right, how do we build a

574
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: team around him? So the thought that the Steelers had

575
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: one they had to dismantled their offensive line because the

576
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: year before they couldn't run the football. They couldn't run

577
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: the football. It led to a change of offensive coordinator.

578
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: So one of the things that you want to do.

579
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: It is like, hey, let's let's shift the chairs around

580
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: the furniture, Like, hey, we can't remodel, but they maybe

581
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: we can just kind of move the couch here and

582
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: the love seat there, and maybe we can kind of

583
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: make the room look better. And so they tried to

584
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: do that. They Reacheduff on the deck when it came

585
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: to the offensive line, and then they added a new lamp.

586
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: The new lamp is Naja Harris. Okay, like it's brighter.

587
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: The room is brighter, so maybe it looks it looks better.

588
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: So they bring Naja Harrison. But because you have the

589
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: same pieces, this offense looks exactly the same. Naja Harris

590
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: has fourteen receptions the other day, which is great for

591
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: a running back, but they can't run the football at all.

592
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: And so you have a quarterback who attempted forty three

593
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: of his fifty eight passes, where ten years of fewer

594
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: eighteen of those forty three we're at or behind the

595
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. A bunch of drops sprinkled in with

596
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: those two. Yeah, I mean a bunch of passes. Man.

597
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean you're a heavyweight fighter who wants to win

598
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: the title on on points. Rabbit a little rabbit lunches, yeah, jabbing,

599
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: trying to jab your weight to a victory like no

600
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: knockout power from the Steelers. And to me, I think

601
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: they're slow out wide. Look, I know Chase Claypool can run,

602
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: but you not. They just play like maybe they just

603
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: look slow made because they only ask to run short things.

604
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: But their speed doesn't impact. You don't feel it, You

605
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: don't feel at all. Uh it's interesting. Um all right,

606
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: let's uh. I want to get to an interesting stat.

607
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: I would do one of these next gen stats every

608
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: week and just kind of what I've learned and something

609
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: that popped and stood out to me. So I want

610
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: to get to that right after this. Alright, Buck, So

611
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: here we go. This is a term that I'm just

612
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: learning here. Uh e p a expected points added and

613
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: let me kind of explain this to you. Um. So

614
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: this would be it's assuming that every play, right, it's

615
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: where you are in the field, what the chances are

616
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: with the result of the play, how much closer you

617
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: know you are to scoring or what are the chances

618
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: of you scoring. So, in other words, if if you're

619
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: like at your own twenty yard line, um, and then

620
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: you complete a pass for eight yards on first down, Like,

621
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: now that might be worth you know, point six six,

622
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, or point six seven. That's a positive. Now

623
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: the next play is an incomplete pass as the quarterbacks,

624
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: So then your number comes back down. So at the

625
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, you're kind of left with this

626
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: number of kind of the over or under the expect

627
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: expected points at it. So it's it's kind of convoluted,

628
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: but basically it's saying how efficient productive are you? It's

629
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 1: simply a way to say it. So when you go

630
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: on there, they can judge by the duos, right, so

631
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: quarterback wide receiver duos. So these are the most productive

632
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: and efficient quarterback wide receiver duos in the NFL. So

633
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm there's let's do the top one, two, three, four,

634
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: let's do the top four. Um, and I'm gonna give

635
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: you a chance to guess buck and say this has

636
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: been the best combination of quarterback to wide receiver. And

637
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: these are named brands, Like, we're not shopping, you know,

638
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: it's not not knockoff brands there. These are named brands

639
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: for the most part. Here. Uh so top four connections

640
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: and combinations. Who would you think, Well, I know, Aaron

641
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Davante Adams should be here. It's Aaron Rodgers

642
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: and Davantae Adams is surprisingly not there on this one.

643
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Let me see where where they are there? They are

644
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: down there. They're down the list here because you figured

645
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: there's some incompletion sprinkled in there as well. But um yeah,

646
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: they are not in there. Mm hmm. That so you've

647
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: got Can I go ahead thinking of Cup? Matthew Stafford,

648
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is number three? Okay, all right, so Matthew Stafford.

649
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: Then I'll give you the numbers on that. So Stafford

650
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: is when he's throwing the ball to Cooper. Cup is

651
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: twenty five of thirty three for three sixty seven yards,

652
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: five touchdowns and one pick. It's pretty good. Is this

653
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: really good? Um m hmmm. Kirk Cousins and man Kirk

654
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: Cousins and Adam Feeling are down there. They're in like

655
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: the top there, they're round like twenty wow. So I'll

656
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: give you Jamaar Chase and Joe Burrow are number four

657
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: on the list. How about that? So Jamar Chase and

658
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. He's targeted. This is what he's done. He's

659
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow throwing the ball to Jamar Chase eleven of

660
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: sixteen two d and twenty yards, four touchdowns, no picks.

661
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: It's pretty good, alright. So the number one connection in

662
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: the NFL right now is Justin Herbert and Mike Williams.

663
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: How about that, Justin Herbert throwing the ball to Mike Williams.

664
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: This year's twenty two of thirty one two yards, four touchdowns,

665
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: no picks. Now, keep in mind when you're averaging in

666
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: this number, like if you, if you, if you complete

667
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: a ball. Obviously, touchdowns in red zone are huge, but

668
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: if you complete a ten yard pass that takes you

669
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: from the thirty going to the twenty, that's gonna be

670
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: worth more points than a ten yard passed from your

671
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: own twenty going to your own thirty because your chances

672
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: of scoring, you know, that, goes up exponentially once you're

673
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: in the on the other side of the fifties. So

674
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: he's number one. Number two is Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey.

675
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes to Kelsey, they are he is twenty of two

676
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two and eighty nine yards. Sorry, I

677
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: can't see two hundred and eighty nine yards um three touchdowns,

678
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: but two picks, uh intended for Kelsey. So you've got

679
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: Herbert to Mike Williams, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey, Stafford,

680
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: the Cooper Cup, Joe Burrow to Jamaar Chase, and then

681
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: the next one on the list is where it gets fun.

682
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: It's just that's the out of left field Teddy Bridgewater

683
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: to Tim Patrick. Oh how about that? Tim Patrick? Teddy

684
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: Bridgewater to Tim Patrick twelve of thirteen a hundred and

685
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: seventy four yards, two touchdowns. Note pics a perfect passer

686
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: rating when when targeting Tim Patrick. So kJ Hamdler got hurt.

687
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: I hate to see that. He's a good young player,

688
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: but I get Tim Patrick. Man, They're fine, don't worry

689
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: about it. So they've been doing some things for Tim Patrick,

690
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: like crossing brows and clear out stuff, and so I

691
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: didn't know it was to that point. I watched him

692
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: when the Broncos beat the Jaguars. They come to wear

693
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: him out with like some little pick stuff. But man,

694
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: titty b Yeah. So when you're looking again efficiency and production,

695
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple more of the combos just

696
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: to round it out here. Uh. Jimmy Garoppolo, Deebo, Samuel's next,

697
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Derek Carter to Henry Ruggs is next Sam Donald to

698
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: d J. Moore, uh, and then Kyler Murray to Christian

699
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: Kirk and then Derek Carr again to Hunter renfro Um.

700
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: So it's interesting right when you see like there's a

701
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: connection there and there's some name brands up there at

702
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: the top. You know, you you would have thought, um,

703
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Keenan Allen over Mike, but Mike's just

704
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: had an un leieva will start to the season and

705
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is playing the X. He's in that it's

706
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: that Lombardi offense and that's where Michael Thomas was located.

707
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: So the ball finds the X in that system. And

708
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: not like ken now hadn't do anything. He's got good

709
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: numbers two. But yeah, no, that's a I thought that

710
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty interesting that that is that is remarkable

711
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: with the connections and it's not the necessarily the number

712
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: one receiver who has the most efficient Yeah no, to me,

713
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: that's that's all I think that Joe Burrow Jamar Chase,

714
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: when I got in terms of that chemistry and connection

715
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: from college, like that mental telefty that they can play

716
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: with or exhibit on the perimeter is really really interesting. Yeah,

717
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: and there was another nugget on on that connection here

718
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: where is it? Um, Jamar Jamaar Chase has caught a

719
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: TV on a vertical route so that is defined as

720
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: a go post corner wheel in every game. Um. So

721
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: he's got the most vertical route tds this year. It's

722
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase, Cooper Cup tied with four. Then you've got

723
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Zack Casco with three. Um. But it's interesting, right,

724
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: I mean they have I think that Joe Burrow has

725
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: more here it is Uh, he's so he's got those

726
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: four vertical route tds. Last year he had on vertical

727
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: routes those of what that I just mentioned he had too.

728
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: So what he has done not only have you connected, Um,

729
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: you know you're in a good rhythm, you're in a

730
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: you have a good connection with Jamar Chase, but you've

731
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: effectively you change your offense. When you you talked about

732
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers constricted, there's no space. When you get

733
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: a guy like Jamar Chase who's in a who's a

734
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 1: special talent, who's also a vertical guy, you open everything.

735
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: You open the entire offense. When you can get vertical

736
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: like that. Well, yeah, because I mean it just opened

737
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: in the playbook. Because most of the Number one receivers

738
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: are guys that do the dirty work, their chain movers.

739
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: They're guys that can handle the intermediate, the pretty good

740
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: route runners, they do all of the other stuff. A

741
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: lot of them are maybe speed deficient, maybe not the fastest,

742
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: but they find a way to get open and crafty.

743
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: When you have someone who can do both, like you

744
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: can do all the other routes that you want to

745
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: see from your number one, but then had has some palpability,

746
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: can take the top off the defense or has the

747
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: ability to sneak pass for a big play man, you pay,

748
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: you pay, you pay a premium for that. That's that's different.

749
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: That's a different thing because normally you don't You just

750
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: don't see that DJ. You don't see guys who can

751
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: be dependable as the chain mover but also give you

752
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: the bonus stuff that you want from a big play

753
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: threat get get it over the top. I do want

754
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 1: to mention, just briefly. I know the Bills fans were saying,

755
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: we didn't uh, we did not give them any love

756
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: from their last week's game. I don't know. I mean,

757
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: I think I picked them to go to the Super Bowl,

758
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: So I think I think we're okay on giving them love.

759
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: I think I picked to win the m v P.

760
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're okay. The bills are good.

761
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: Let's just get there. The bills are good. Here's what

762
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: I'll say, though, Josh Allen was filling a little heat

763
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: because the first two games of the season wrote about this,

764
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: his numbers were eerily similar to the numbers that he

765
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: had in eighteen and nineteen. We're just completing right around

766
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: of his past is the passer rating was high seventies,

767
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: but it wasn't m v P caliber. And so when

768
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: you see that, particularly coming off the year that was

769
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: so so much of an outlier over his path or

770
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: trajectory as a quarterback, you wonder, like, well, was that

771
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: just a one year thing? Could he get it back?

772
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: And then he came back and he played lights out

773
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: against the Washington football team on it or whatever. Some

774
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: of that was him. Here's what we do know about

775
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Our interactions very competitive, it's very prideful. And

776
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: so when he he struggled, he went to no, no, no,

777
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: no, no no, not like this and man, give him credit.

778
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: He played his tail off the other night. You know,

779
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: he's on pace for forty yards, you know, thirty five

780
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns or thirty seven touchdowns five picks, which all these

781
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: numbers are gonna be weird now because you're projecting out

782
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: to seventeen games season instead of a sixteen game season.

783
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: Got to recalibrate, like what it looks like. But now

784
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: he's fine and defensively, um, you know last number of

785
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: I know I've given a lot of numbers today, but

786
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: Epiness has now got the number one get off in

787
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. So he's he's doing his thing. But anyways,

788
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: it's fun. You can tell this whole new world has

789
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: been opened up to me, Buck, and I'm just I'm

790
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: having It's like a kid in a candy store because

791
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: it's you can marry what your I see with like

792
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: concrete evidence that that's what we all want to be

793
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: able to do. Because how many times we we would

794
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: watch the tape and be like, oh, you know what, um,

795
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: Jamaar chases looks like he's getting vertical a little bit like, no,

796
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: he's getting vertical more anybody in the NFL. Like he's

797
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: more productive down the field. Than anybody. It's a fact.

798
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: It's not only that, but now you take like the

799
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: party we're talking about, uh, some of the analytical data

800
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: to go with the film, and then you add I

801
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: still won't call this necessarily analytic. I call it kind

802
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: of um sports science stuff. But then with the GPS

803
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: is the stuff game speed and how those guys uh

804
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: play and perform. And uh, maybe if we had the

805
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: catapult or the Zebra technology on Jamaar Chase, maybe he's

806
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: even faster. Then we imagine when he was running his

807
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: forty maybe he plays faster than those things. So being

808
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: able to kind of take all of that information in

809
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: as a scout and you should be armed with all

810
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: of it like this should be an easier process. For

811
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: that's when it comes to picking players, no doubt. Um,

812
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: I want to ask you quickly, um anything jump out

813
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: here from the college football weekend from last weekend and

814
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: then um, you know to me, I think this is

815
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: one of the biggest days on the calendar coming up

816
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: because Matt Correll has a chance to be the number

817
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: one quarterback in this draft. We've talked about him a

818
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: bunch and he gets a chance. This is statement weekend

819
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: he osa Tuscaloosa. Uh, Lane Kiffin, you know he's got

820
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: with Nick Saban, it's been shootouts. I don't know if

821
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: they can stop Alabama. I know their defense is better

822
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: than it's been. Probably not gonna stop Alabama. But if

823
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: he goes out there and puts up forty plus points

824
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: on Alabama's defense and throwing the rock, that that could

825
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: be a nice not a closing argument, We're not to

826
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: the closing argument state stages, but could be you know,

827
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: on his way to make he could convincing case to

828
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: be the top quarterback. He's well on his way because

829
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: he's he's benefited from the guys who were the UH

830
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: much hyped Ballyhood guys heading into the season just falling

831
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: off a cliff. Uh. Spencer Radley and Spencer Rattler and

832
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: Sam Howell in particular have not necessarily played up to

833
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: the standard or the level of expectation that accompanied their

834
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: UH preseason plans. Spencer rather, Um, I mean you had

835
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma fans calling for the backup quarterback to have an

836
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: opportunity to play, and I'll say you and watching him

837
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: because I've seen like two of the game Aimes, Uh,

838
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, like he's good. I was saying that great. Um,

839
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: I don't know what did he We always talk about

840
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: the superpower. I don't want to know what his superpower is.

841
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: In comparison to some of the other elites that we've seen,

842
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: He's not necessarily a fast dynamic runner. He has really

843
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: good arm talent. I wouldn't say I would go crazy

844
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: over the top with the arm talent. Um processing is

845
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: it's okay, but he still makes some bad decisions. So

846
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with him. And then

847
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: we're um, Sam Howell, Sam how this is a classic

848
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: case of someone trying to do too much. Feel like

849
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: he's trying to do too much, trying to make every play,

850
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: trying to show off his legs, trying to show off

851
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: the deep ball skills, trying to do a bunch of

852
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: different things. I don't think it works in the skill set,

853
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: and I think both of those guys need to step

854
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: back and less is more, fewer things. Just play keep

855
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: his simple, be good at those things. Um. So when

856
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: when I look at at Corral and what he's got

857
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do, I'm pulling his numbers up here

858
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: hold on one sick um, So here's where he's coming

859
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: into this game, they're three and oh h what are

860
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: the number twelve in the country or something like that.

861
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: He's he's got nine touchdowns, no pics. It's only been

862
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: sacks six times. He's completing sixty eight almost six of

863
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: his passes. He's got a hundred and fifty eight yards

864
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 1: rushing and another five TVs on the ground. So he's

865
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: amassing the numbers without without question, he's doing his thing. Um,

866
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: But when you know, you talked to folks around college football,

867
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: and you know that I've got, you know, friends on

868
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: some some of these staffs. I talked to a group

869
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: that had played against him and said, that's We've been

870
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: doing this a long time. He's real. That dude's real.

871
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: Like he is talented, Um, he sees everything, he processes quickly,

872
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: he's accurate, he throws a beautiful ball. Like he's not

873
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: the biggest guy in the world. He's not gonna wow

874
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: you when you stay in front of him. You know him,

875
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: you've been around him. But he said that he's real.

876
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: Like that to me, like, that's a simple question. You

877
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: talked to some college coaches that have seen a lot

878
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: of top quarterbacks over the last few years, and just

879
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: like thumbs up or thumbs down, like he's he's a dude.

880
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: That's a real dude now, Yeah, real Dudi's asked him

881
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: to his game because you seen him run a little

882
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: bit more um big time swag to go with big

883
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: time talent. I think the one thing that I have

884
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: seen Lane Kiffin do, and he does this for his

885
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: best players. Man, he blows them up with so much

886
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: he feels him with so much confidence that they feel

887
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: like they're the best thing going. And Mcarrell plays like

888
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: that when he's in command of this offense, like he

889
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: feels like when I'm watching him, I feel like he

890
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: plays like he knows that he's the best player on

891
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: the field, and he's doing it in a way that

892
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he rubs you wrong, but there's a

893
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: self assurance and a confidence that, oh I got this

894
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make it happen. So this will be

895
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: the first tape that evaluators will pop in because what

896
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: you do against Saban that can rubber stamps. So that's

897
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: the first game you watched, That's the first thing every

898
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 1: evaluate is going to give Nick Saban problems this week. Yeah,

899
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: can him in from me? That conversation yep uh. And

900
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: then one last thing on the college side. I watched

901
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: on the plane flight home from Kansas City the NC

902
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: State tackle and I'm probably gonna butcher his name. I'll

903
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: get it right before we get to the draft. But

904
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 1: I can Ikewanu, who's listed at six four three twenty.

905
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: That's a powerful man, and he's I will put him.

906
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: He's not he's not the same player Quentin Nelson, as

907
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: he doesn't quite bend like him. He's just I will

908
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: put his finishing up against anybody, and that includes Quinn.

909
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: He's that type of a finisher. Buck miss dudes, freaking

910
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: unbelievable man. Like you talk about past sets, you know,

911
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: catching guys and then you know just holding them, you know,

912
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: locking him in, locking him in. All a sudden, it's

913
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: like he's just like, all right, let's go for a

914
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: little trip and just them and then dump him. Um

915
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: kicking out second level defenders, third level defenders, outside runs,

916
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: just inside hand torking defensive vents, taking them out of bounds.

917
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: Like he is nasty man. He and some teams, I

918
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: think you're gonna say, okay, he's a guard. Um, I

919
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: think he could hold up a tackle he gets he

920
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: has some redirect issues, like, like like I said, didn't bend

921
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: quite as great as you want. But he's long and

922
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: powerful and uh, you know, I think he's a rich

923
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: shirt sophomore. He's draft eligible, but he's a good football player,

924
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: so he was a phone to watch. I mean, we

925
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 1: like good football players. Ending the wrong with good football

926
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: players because you can't you can't get enough of them.

927
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: And so if you get a player who can make

928
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: it happen. It's coming off a big win where they

929
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, just handle man, and what you're called Clemson

930
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: looks bad. Man text the text out ball goes to

931
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: the wolf Pack. That's how about that? Don't see that often?

932
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: But man, as more losses coming for this. I mean,

933
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: I know the schedule is not tough, but there's somebody

934
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: else is gonna get Clemson. They're just not very good.

935
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: Um so and and it's not we talked about before.

936
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: The offensive line hasn't been good for a long time,

937
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: but they've been able to kind of cover up those

938
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: words cover them up this year. Man, they can't score now.

939
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: You can't score them. When you can't score um and

940
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: you begin to allow teams to play you close and

941
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: you get beat Now everybody on the schedule believes they

942
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: have a chance. Everyone is now Clemson coming up. Now,

943
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: it's like, it's a chance for you guys. Man, you guys,

944
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: you guys are you know we're not playing well. We

945
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: lost the teams, but you guys bang heads with them

946
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: and recruiting. So just just Clemson taking a step back

947
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: can help you maybe get one or two kids that

948
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: you might not have got otherwise. I just needed to

949
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: win some games. You can't lose the Georgia Tech we

950
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 1: had a big app had a big one over Marshall.

951
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,960

Speaker 1: I wanted one of the next time as we come up,

957
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: because the Rams are playing so well, I want to

958
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: talk about their team building, philosophy players. I like it. Yeah,

959
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: it's it's an interesting thing because if they have success,

960
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: and it looks like the level of success that they're having,

961
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: there can be more guys to sit back in that

962
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 1: chair and be like you know some of these draft picks.

963
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: If we can get a proven player, hey auctions, we

964
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: may put on some of these picks. You gotta have

965
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: ultimate confidence in your coach and and what you kind

966
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: of have already built. Right. You don't want to do

967
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: that when you're in the build up phase, but when

968
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: you kind of have it built and you're like, you

969
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,160

971
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: one or thirty two. So we're in that range. We're comfortable.

972
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 1: You just don't want to be partning with top five picks,

973
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,080
