Yeah. This was an easy one for us 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: because now the kids getting older used to be man 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: trying to jam everything in the trash can. When you 23 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: got all those big boxes, those toy boxes are huge, 24 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: total pain. Now it's just clothing boxes. Man, it's easy. 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: We had We had great to help you listening. Had 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: a wonderful Christmas as well. Let's jump into our tent takeaways. Bucky, 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: why don't you start us off with your first one 28 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: from the week. Can the Eagles win a playoff game 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: with Nick Foles passes tip and intercepted off the deflection 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: it has ticked off by Reggie Nelson and the Eagles 31 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: turned it over. I think the big thing with the 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously Nick Foles didn't play great against the 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, but I think this is a team that 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: has built the right way. When I looked at the 35 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: team from beginning to the end of the season, I 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: felt like they have all the necessary pieces to be 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: a championship caliber team. They played great defense, They have 38 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: the ability to rush to pass it with four Their 39 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: cornerbacks are stepping up, and we saw them make some 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: plays on offense. Their versatile and dynamic. They have pass 41 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: catches on the outside. They can run the ball. Didn't 42 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: run the ball well against the Raiders. But they can 43 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: run the ball when they committed to running it, and 44 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: then in special teams they can find the way to 45 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: make plays, and we continue to see them consistently come 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: up with plays. Yes, Number nine has to perform better, 47 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: But as I look at it today, they're gonna have 48 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: three weeks to find a way to get Nick Foles right. 49 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: They have three weeks to kind of figure out what's 50 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: the best game plan, what are the best plays for 51 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: him to work with this cast of characters around him. 52 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: I think the philadepherient Eagles are well positioned to continue 53 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: to make a run and get to the super Bowl. 54 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: They only have to win two to get in. I 55 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: think they can do that. Here's the key for the Eagles. 56 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: Just watching that game. To me, especially with Nick Foles, 57 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: you gotta get fulls, some red Bull or some coffee. 58 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: He's a little juice, He's a little this guy. Get 59 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: a little more life a little You talk about quarterback. 60 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: You don't wanna be too frenetic. You don't want you 61 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: guys be too busy, too frenetic. He's got to speed 62 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: up the process. Man, It is so slow and so methodical. 63 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: He just needs a little bit more urgency, a little 64 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: more twitch in his play. So I'm gonna says, get 65 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: Nick Foles a big old red bull or a cup 66 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: of coffee or something on the sidelines, just to get 67 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: him sped up a little bit. Buck. You know, I 68 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: didn't even think about that, but I thought, I feel 69 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: like when Carson Winston was there, they operated a lot 70 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: on tempo. I feel like they were going fast. Maybe 71 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: they need to think about and this would be a 72 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: good week because there's nothing to do a little no Hoddle, 73 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: Let's see what he can do, see what he can 74 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: and see if that gets him into a rhythm better 75 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: than Hoddle looked at the sideline. Hoddle looked at the sideline. Yeah, 76 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: it was no rhythm was very slow. Its very methodical. 77 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: They gotta find a way to get that going once 78 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: they get in the postseason. But good news for them, 79 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: they are the number one seed, so they will have 80 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: it by I don't anticipate you'll see many of their 81 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: dudes playing next week against the Dallas Cowboys. Kind of 82 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: would even be shocked if Fulls played, and know you're 83 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: talking about want to see him in a hurry up. 84 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. They just put everybody on ice. 85 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: Don't want to get to your third quarterback in the postseason, 86 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't think we'll see much anybody against the Cowboys. 87 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean, why would you. All right, let's get the 88 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: number two on the list here. I'll take this one, Bucket, 89 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: the Saints, New Orleans Saints. That's the fastest team in 90 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: the NFL. Bunch of trips near left, Breeze takes the snap, 91 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: backside pressure comes, he steps up and looks low when 92 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: tech Ga Junior yards a little bit of Ted Gain there. 93 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: But I mean, I just think when you watch that game, 94 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: first of all, that game with the Saints and the Falcons, 95 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: compared to all the other games that we're on. We're 96 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: on Game Day Live, We're watching all these games, keep 97 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: track everything, buck And I don't know about you, but 98 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: I just felt like that game looked like it was 99 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: fast forward with those two teams. The speed. I know 100 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: you're on in the inside, but especially when you look 101 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: at this New Orleans Saints team. You look at Camara 102 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: the way he runs, see Ted Gain flying down the field. 103 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: You look defensively seeing at all three levels speed speed, speed, 104 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's a fast brand of football in 105 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: that division, especially with that New Orleans Saints team. They're 106 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: build to play inside. You get them inside, you get 107 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: them at home on the turf, whether it's uh at 108 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: home or a way, they find a way to be 109 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: able to do what they want to do. I'm gonna 110 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: say this and I believe this. Offensively, number forty one 111 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: Evan Camara is their best player. I think he makes 112 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: everybody go his ability to really create mismatches inside and outside, 113 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: whether it's in the backfield, out wide at hybrid wide receiver. 114 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: I think he is a difference may your tag in 115 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: junior speed to be able to take the top off 116 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the defense. Even though I don't think Drew Brees is 117 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: still at his best as a vertical thrower, I think 118 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: he is good enough to hit tig you on those 119 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: crossing routes. We continue to see it week after week 120 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: after week. And then on defense, this team is playing fast. 121 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: They're locking up in man to man coverage. Marshawn Lattimore 122 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: has been a terrific addition to this team also, but 123 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: also the rest of the rookies that they brought in 124 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: fast defense, built to play indoors. Many they look really 125 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: really good. It'd be interesting to see how they will 126 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: play when they step outside the confines of the Dome. 127 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: Can they continue to have that advantage that they've shown 128 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: when they plan on turn I think there's a very 129 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: real chance they won't have to go outside, though I 130 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: know they're not gonna have a buy in the postseason, 131 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: but there's a chance they could maybe go through Minnesota 132 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: UM and then get right back inside, actually go back 133 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: to Minnesota the super Bowl if they can make a 134 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: run all way through the NFC. But no, just team speed. 135 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: That jumped out to me in a big way. What 136 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: you got Number three on the list the Foddy nine 137 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: is should pay Jimmy g Q sooner rather than later. 138 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: A little the quarterback snicks ches I had end of 139 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: the touched down San Francisco. Jimmy Garoppolo took the snap 140 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: wood straight ahead behind his offensive line. He plunges out 141 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: of the ins on. You know, we we've talked about 142 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: the forty Niners for so long, and they were speculation 143 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins or who is gonna be the franchise quarterback. 144 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: I think they've discovered their franchise quarterback. I think it's 145 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: clearer parent I think it's obvious right now that Jimmy 146 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: Garoppolo is that guy. Since he's been there, he's completed 147 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: almost seventy percent of his passes, he's evering eight point 148 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: seven yards per attempt, he has a ninety eight point 149 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: nine passer rating. But more importantly, I think it's the feeling, 150 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: the energy that he's brought when you hear the team. 151 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: The team now, I was talking about winning the Super 152 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Bowl in eighteen. There's a buzz in the stadium whenever 153 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: he steps onto the field. Their belief, their hope, they're optimism. 154 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: It all springs from number ten. And I think if 155 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: you're the forty niners, I know you want to wait 156 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: and see. You want to try and get him at 157 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: the right market value. But right now number is only 158 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: going up. The um the number is only going to 159 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: go up, is never going to go down. And I'm 160 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: looking at Derek Carson with twenty five million dollars annually. 161 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: I think people paid that. I mean, I think I 162 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: think right now we can say Jimmy Garoppolo had better 163 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: player than Derek Carr. I've been based off what we've seen, 164 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: what we've seen right now, who would you rather have 165 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: if if you had to give the ball one of 166 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: the guys twenty five million dollars, I think we here 167 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: reppen right to check. If not Jimmy g is gonna 168 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: be a thirty million dollar quarterback, it's gonna wrecky salary. 169 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: Struct Well, to me, the word that jumps out to 170 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: me with him as poise, and that's what you saw 171 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: from Tom Brady. I mean that's that's his number one attribute, 172 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: as his poise, and I think Jimmy had some of 173 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: that naturally. Think being around Brady didn't hurt as well 174 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: to help him in that regard. But why we're on 175 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks before we get to your next takeaway, but I 176 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: wanted to just throw this at you. We're if if 177 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: you listen to this podcast, you know Bucky myself, we're 178 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: obsessed with the quarterback position and the evaluation of the 179 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: quarterback position, and we're always sharing information and ideas. Oh, 180 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: we have college coaches on. We're always asking them what 181 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: they're looking for in quarterbacks. We've done it with Jim 182 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: Schwartz when he's been on before different guys. Urban Meyer. 183 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: I listened to his UH press conference of the day's 184 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: recruiting press conference and just out of the Blue they had. 185 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: Somebody asked him what he looks for in quarterbacks. I thought, Okay, 186 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: this is me and Bucky, this is this is our jam. 187 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: So what does he say? He said, before he gets 188 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: to any of the physical characteristics in terms of accuracy, 189 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: arm strength, all that stuff. He said, he wants quarterbacks 190 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: to meet these five criteria before he gets to the 191 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: next point. But this is if you you obviously can't 192 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: see now, Buck, he has the pen out, he's writing 193 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: it down. But this is how we we dig this stuff, 194 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: all right, Bucky Ready, Number one has to have a 195 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: competitive spirit. Number two is toughness. Number three is leadership, 196 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: number four is intelligence, and last number five he has 197 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: to be able to get us out of a bad play. 198 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: So if you can't meet those five criteria, you don't 199 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: even get to go through the rest of the evaluation process. 200 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: That that's where it starts. That was pretty fascinating answer 201 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: there from urban Meyer. Well, I think is is kind 202 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: of consistent. Um. Well, we had the quarterback podcast you 203 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: can dig back through over the summer. We talked to 204 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of quarterbacks, uh Butscher coaches and we talked 205 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: what they look for in quarterbacks. And I think those 206 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: are some of the trades that we heard. We heard 207 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: um Clay Helton talk about you want the quarterback to 208 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: be able to give the rest of the team hope. 209 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: He gives them optimism when every steps on the field, 210 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: the team hopes that he can get They have hope 211 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: because they know that their quarterback can get it done 212 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to competitiveness, to toughness and all the 213 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: other stuff. Um, all those things are necessary ingredients. And 214 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: so when I'm looking at guys in the league and 215 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: guys that are coming into the league, I'm looking for 216 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: those trades. I think irber Meyer has a really good 217 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: handling grasp on it because he's been successful as anybody 218 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: in the collegiate game with quarterbacks and a number of 219 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks and number different style quarterbacks being able to 220 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: get it done. Um, I think there's something to that. 221 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: I think those five core ingredients are what is necessary 222 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: at that position to be successful for sure. Alright, no question, 223 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's get going here. Back he got another 224 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: one here. Number four. Blake Bortles isn't ready for prime time. 225 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: First out of ten borders back of the shotgun has 226 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: the snap looks through his right clothes to fade for 227 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: the right side of that that are accepted by the 228 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: forty Niners, down the far sideline where the a spoon 229 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: inside the hitting goes down. Third interception today for the 230 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: forty Niner defense. When I look at Blake Bortles and 231 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: I know there was a fascination in the last month, like, oh, 232 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: has he turned the corner? But I think we all 233 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: approached it regarded optimism, and I look, I know last 234 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: week I went big. I talked about the Jaguars. You 235 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: not even let me intercepted understood that, and I was 236 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: selling it. I was selling it. I was selling it 237 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: hard for my Jaguars because I want my Jaguars to 238 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: be able to go to the Super Bowl. I really 239 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: feel like they can get it done if they can 240 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: somehow get the quarterback to stand in control. But what 241 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm hoping, I'm hoping he got the bad game out 242 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: the way, and I'm hoping he can channel a little 243 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco for the postseason and play his best when 244 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: his best is required. We didn't see that, but right 245 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: now I will say he's not ready for prime time. 246 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: They're trying to hide them, They're trying to do things 247 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: to not necessarily expose them, but the more that he throws, 248 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: the more to his warts show. I think it's a 249 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: huge issue, and I think it's one of the reasons why, Gosh, 250 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: you have to tread lightly with the Jaguars being a 251 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl two. Bucky, Bucky, Bucky, Bucky Bucky. Last week 252 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: you went on these Jacks last week, I believe I 253 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: pointed out that I finally discovered your till the voice 254 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: got a little high. You're not buy what you were selling. 255 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: You did not buy the Blake Bortles package. So you 256 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: can say and you can say, hey, you know, no, 257 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: you never bought it, and your soul, deep down in 258 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: the recesses of your heart, you did not believe, not 259 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: having belief in Blake Bortles. And now it's coming out 260 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: after a de baccle of a game there in San Francisco. Look, 261 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: this is a simple math thing. We always talk about 262 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: math on here, very simple math. The Jacksonville Jaguars are 263 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: throwing the ball fifty times. It ain't good. It's so bad. 264 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: It is not a recipe for success for them going 265 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: forward into the postseason. They have got to run the ball, 266 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: they've got to control the clock. They've got to limit 267 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: the exposure. As you like to say of Blake Bortles, 268 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: let's uh the small doses. You can win with small 269 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: doses of Blake Bortles. He's a he's a side dish. 270 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: You not want him being the main course, or you're 271 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: not gonna win a football game in the postseason. Oh absolutely, 272 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. I don't think that 273 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: you can lean on him to be the guy that 274 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: is a driving force of your offense. We talked about 275 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: trucks and trailers. He's a big trailer. He needs a 276 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: huge truck pulling him. Defense is a pretty good track team, 277 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: and I think they can they can do it. I 278 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: think he just has to understand he has to make 279 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: the plays that are did to be made. But man, 280 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy that every time you see 281 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: him drop back the throw, you're hanging on your see 282 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: just hoping and praying that it doesn't go the other way. 283 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what there was. He threw three picks 284 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: in that game. Could have been a lot more. They 285 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: got fortunate in a couple of those. But anyways, tough 286 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: loss for the Jacks. They've got time, though, that's tough 287 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: to go on a holiday a week to go all 288 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: the way across the country from Jacksonville to San Francisco. 289 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: That's a tough one. I believe they didn't they make 290 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: another trip west during Thanksgiving. I want to say, was 291 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: it the Rams? Yeah? Let me see that Rams game win? 292 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: Was that? I thought they had to go all the 293 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: way across the country? Uh the Rams? Did the Rams 294 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: dick go all the way across the country and they 295 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: put it on him? Oh yeah that No, that wasn't 296 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: Jacksonvill You're right, yeah, they put it on all right, 297 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: let's let's keep the train moving here. Number five on 298 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: the list. This is not breaking news, but the Dallas Cowboys, 299 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: they have got to find more weapons on the outside. 300 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: Now throw it over there, something touchdown, Say up, I'll 301 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: let you. I'll let you blast out the statue threw 302 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: out on Twitter, Buck, go ahead, throw your dead Bryant 303 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: stat out there in after that game, twenty two games 304 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: without a one hundred yard receiving game, this is the 305 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: one that is supposed to be an elite receiver. Yeah, 306 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not buying that. Yeah that that that is over. 307 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: That episode has concluded. It might be time for them 308 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: mr to move on completely from him instead of trying 309 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: to keep him in a complimentary role. I don't know 310 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: how that would work, but they have got to go out. 311 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: They have got to add some juice. Got to add 312 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: some juice either via the draft, they gotta get out 313 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: in free agency. They got to find somebody that can 314 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: run um. I look at a guy like you know, 315 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: Marquis Good, one who didn't cost a lot in a 316 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: trade for forty n irons to get him from Buffalo, 317 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: big time speed guy and add an element to that offense. 318 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: Ted Gain. We saw him go over to the UH Saints, 319 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: and we've seen the Brandon Cooks get traded and go 320 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: to in New England. At a presence there, you've got 321 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: to have somebody that can stretch out a litle bit. 322 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys don't have anybody, No, they don't, they don't. 323 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: They don't have anyone that scares you um on the perimeter. 324 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: And I think if you don't have anyone that can 325 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: kind of create fear um in the minds of the 326 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: defensive play called, then you you're not reluctant to drop 327 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: the defender in the box. And so when everybody understands 328 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: that Zeki Elliott is the driving force of the offense. 329 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: Everyone else is a side dish. They need to make 330 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: sure that they have the pieces in place to make 331 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: them pay when they drop it in. If they don't 332 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: do that, I think the cowboys would continue to have 333 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: a tough time. And I gotta pause for a minute 334 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: because I just looked across and I'm seeing these these 335 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: fresh news. Is that a Christmas president? You like these shoes? 336 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that Christmas? Is that showing off? Mean? Wow? 337 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: Got my Nike? My Nike guy? I mean you like 338 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: the Soca socks. I just you know, I'll be honest 339 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: with you, Buck. I left the house at four a m. 340 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: This morning, so I probably look at the colors of 341 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: the socks when I mean, I mean everything flows together. 342 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: These shoes, though, I'll be honest with pretty pumped about them. 343 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: They're very comfortable. Uh just took them for a run 344 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. They're made in voyage, but they've got 345 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: the air pockets all the way around them. So I 346 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: got a little nervous because you're running. You know, it's 347 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: not trails and stuff. It's not gonna pop. I'm looking 348 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: at looking for shards of glass thing and I might 349 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: blow a tire out here. I can't have that New kicks, 350 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: got nice little Nike ship.

Nice you had. Bucky has a lot of 386 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: heavy heavy lifting on that one. Yeah. That the sixties 387 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: second one Bucky dominates steps up the plate was a 388 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: pretty good no, no, no, no, no, no no, don't 389 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: sell yourself short, my friends, one of my better ones. 390 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: That was a fantastic, fantastic read. All right, Bucky, you're 391 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: up number six. When we got the Ravens defense gives 392 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: them a shot to make a run, fast rush coming. 393 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: We're set. Throws a complete contact no call t Y 394 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: Hilton watt of the penalty flag and he's not gonna 395 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: get it. Maurice Kennedy makes the defensive play on t 396 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: Y Hilton and the culture turned away on fourth down. 397 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: When I look at the Ravens, I mean, look, this 398 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: is a team that is continue to be driven by 399 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: their defense. I know the offense had a nice little run, 400 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: had three or four games where they're putting points up. Um. 401 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I saw some staff from week. They were putting them 402 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: like threte points a game, which is kind of crazy 403 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: when I look at it. At the end of the day, 404 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: the Ravens will do whatever they do in the playoffs 405 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: because of their defense. They have an opportunistic bunch. They're 406 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: really good at creating pressure off The pass of Terrell 407 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: Sugs is one of the best closes in the game. 408 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: He leaves the league in fourth quarter sacks and then 409 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: they can create takeaways. Eric what Old, Tony Jefferson, Um, 410 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Carr, some of the other guys they have playing 411 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: in the back end. They're feasting off tips and overthrows. 412 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: I believe this is a team that can make it 413 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: money for anybody. I don't know if the offense can 414 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: get them at the top, but their defense can keep 415 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: them in games. And all you're trying to do is 416 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: make it a fourth quarter game. And if they do that, 417 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: they've shown that they can win games. And they have 418 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: fashion Bucky, they have beating anybody. Hey, hey, all those 419 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: teams have NFL shield onto Jersey. All right, I've did 420 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: this before. I don't want to go through it again. 421 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: But but Jacoba said they beat him. Kaiser, they beat him. Hey, 422 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: get it, getta you gotta you gotta beat the ones 423 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: you can't. Uh, Houston was Tom Savage. I believe Green 424 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: Bay was Brett Huntley, Miami was more. Yeah, Oakland was 425 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: wash j Manuel Cleveland Kaiser again, they beat Andy Dalton. 426 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: They did beat Matt Stafford, so they got they got one. 427 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: They'd be one good quarterback. They're gonna see good quarterbacks 428 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: in the playoffs in the a f C. Look it's 429 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: been a tremendous accomplishment with all the injuries they've had 430 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: to get where they are, and they're gonna be shot. 431 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: You don't get into the postseason. They're gonna play at 432 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: Kansas City. I believe in the first round. If you 433 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: had to pick that game right now, you think the 434 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: Ravens can score enough points to beat the Chiefs. No, 435 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: but they can hit it up. But they can they 436 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: can undy it up for him. That's always muddy. That's 437 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: all the Ravens play. They can make it money, they 438 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: can they can make money do Look, it comes down 439 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: to styles making fights. Where are they sitting there right now? 440 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna be the five seed. Okay, so the five 441 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: seed they will play play the fourth seed, which is 442 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City. Oh yeah, I mean okay, So that means 443 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: you're all in on Alex Smith. Well, yeah, he's got 444 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: a hose. I always believe you a Alex. I mean, 445 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: I like alexir but Silly doesn't know it because he's 446 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: not around about about Alex may if needing to cut 447 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: off man, I told him, I said, look, Alex Smith, 448 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: if you just get Alex Smith one thing, he'd be set. 449 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: And he's like what's that. I'm all cut off manes 450 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: turning around, Bull goes off the wall and just pick 451 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: it up. Just getting run off, cut off. Keep. He 452 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: keeps throwing. He keeps throwing bombs and tyre and it 453 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: gets cheetah. He feels a little a little bit uh 454 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: upset when I go there. I mean, I'm just saying 455 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: that he's a good quarterback. He does get enough credit 456 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: every time he throws a touchdown pass like cut four, 457 00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: cut four. That's awesome. All right, let's go after quarterbacks today, 458 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: and it's just a little fun it. Uh. I want 459 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: to stay with the Bengals who were just talking about, uh, 460 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: this job, Bucky. This is my takeaway number seven on Less. 461 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: I think this Bengal job is pretty attractive. He hands 462 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: it off to Giovanni Bernardo hand score touchdown for the Bengals. 463 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: This is, of course, you know, assuming that Marvin Lewis 464 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: moves on a lot of reports out there that he will. 465 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: You just listen that Geo Bernard touchdown. They finally got 466 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: him going. I think there's more good players than are 467 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: represented in the win loss total for this team. I 468 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: think you can have a pretty quick turnaround there. I 469 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: don't think any Dalton is a superstar by any stretch. 470 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: But I think when you look at some of the 471 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: pieces they have. The running back position, you get a 472 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: pure number one wide receiver, the stuff, some good pieces 473 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: on that defensive side of the ball, especially some depth 474 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: at corner and in a really solid defensive line um 475 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: and the linebackers. They have players all over the place. 476 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: The wind total hasn't matched. They need a fresh start, 477 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: they need a fresh voice. I think it's actually a 478 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: pretty attractive job. I think it's a pretty attractive job. 479 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: But if you go back and look at history, typically 480 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: you have insiders that ascend to the head coach position. 481 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: So who on their roster, who on their coach insta 482 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: ready to be the guy? And then if Gunther ascends 483 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: to the head coaching role, who is the offensive coordinator. 484 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: I think that's the bigger thing. I think the main 485 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: thing that you have to do is you have to 486 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: find an OC who can connect with Andy Dalton and 487 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: understands how to utilize all the pieces of the puzzle 488 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: to make sure that Andy Dalton is comfortable. And I 489 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: think that's a bit of a challenge given his limitations, 490 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: But I do believe it's an attractive job. I believe 491 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: they drafted well. I think they're loaded talent wise. This 492 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: is a team that, what did they go to the 493 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: playoffs like five straight years. I know they didn't get 494 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: any wins, but to go five straight years, that is 495 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: a bit of accomplishment. It speaks volumes about where that 496 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: roster ranks in terms of the rest of the league. 497 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't believe this is a drastic overall, just some tweaking, 498 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: and I think this team can be back to being 499 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: a perennial playoff contender. Yeah, I'm with you. I think 500 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: it's actually a sneaky good job, and they have patience 501 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: with whoever the coach is going to be. Marvin Lewis 502 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: been there a very very long time. Obviously a lot 503 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: of success there hasn't has materialized in the postseason. But 504 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: I think you get that job, You've got some time 505 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: there to to get it rolling. Stay in the division. 506 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: For my next one, number eight on the list, looking 507 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: for hope for the Browns, I'm gonna say Myles Garrett, Garrett, 508 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: it just gives you a little bit of that flag 509 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: comes in intercepted by Myles Garrett and Garrett bouncing his 510 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: way inside that's running yard line and he through. But 511 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: there was a flag, as we mentioned, so another sack 512 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: for Miles Garrett. Should have had a pick six if 513 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: Carl Nassa didn't line up off sides, had no impact 514 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: on the play whatsoever. He lines up off sides and 515 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: Garrett does not get the pick six, but did have 516 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: a sack. He's got six sacks this year in his 517 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: rookie campaign. Haven't missed a good bit of time. I 518 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: just think when you watch him, with the way he 519 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: can corner and bend and wrap and all the different 520 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: skills he brings to the table, I think they've got 521 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: a defensive Player of the Year candidate talent in Miles Garrett, 522 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: and it's a nice building block to have for whoever 523 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna be run the show. There looks like Hugh 524 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: Jackson's gonna be back. Although I'm they go they go over. 525 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. But I do 526 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: think that's a nice building block here for this team 527 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: of Miles Garrett. Oh, I certainly believe that he's a 528 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: nice building block, and I think they have some pieces. 529 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: I think this is a job that is very attractive 530 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: because there's some pieces on the roster in place that 531 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: get help to him. I think the old line is 532 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: pretty solid. I believe they have some pieces along the 533 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: defensive line. Miles Garrett one receiver. Maybe Corey Coleman can play. 534 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: He's got a look. Who's thrown on the ball right now? 535 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, so I give he's got aboard Corey Coleman. 536 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: Reluctant on the Corey Coleman thing. David and Joker. I 537 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: mean they have a lot of picks. They got a 538 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: tight end. I mean, so I got a couple backs, 539 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: not bad, could be level backs, level B minus slow. 540 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson's a B level. He's a nice, nice guy. 541 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: But I think they can upgrade. That's so yeah, I 542 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: mean it's attractive. There's some things I think they need 543 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: really good coaching. I think they need to have a 544 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: plan and stick with the plan. Um, I don't believe 545 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: this is a team that you can throw a young 546 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: quarterback in there. I think they need to find a 547 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: veteran quarterback. A got to have some pels on the wall. 548 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: I got it is one. Um. That quarterback room is 549 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: so young. I mean just everyone is under twenty five. 550 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: It's too young. So but I do believe this is attractive. 551 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: I think if you find the right head coach, I 552 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: believe this could be a pretty quick turnaround. How about 553 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: the numbers nine and one Kaiser nine touchdowns? Okay, So 554 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: here's what I will say, is that good as a coach, 555 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: just as a coach. And this has been one of 556 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: the bigger disappointment because I've been a huge Hugh jack 557 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: and advocate, like, look, we're buddies, were friends and all that, 558 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: but like we have to call a spade a spade, 559 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: Like he has done a horrible job with the quarterbacks 560 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He didn't help the young quarterback. We and 561 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: everyone talked about Kaiser not being ready. So they start them. 562 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: And then okay, so if you're gonna start them, We're like, okay, 563 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: certainly they're gonna protect them. They can try and run 564 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: the ball, have a conservative game plan. Nope, bombs away 565 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: for inexperienced player with no pass catches on the outside. 566 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon didn't show up too a few weeks ago. 567 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: He reset the order of the receivers, and I I mean, 568 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: I just believe it's flawed. And so for that and 569 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: for that reason alone, I just don't have a lot 570 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: of confidence in Cleveland. Here's my thing. I don't think 571 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: he gets talked about. We talked about it on the 572 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: air the other day, but I don't hear a lot 573 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: of it talked about nationally. If if the Chargers make 574 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: a kick, they go to overtime with Cleveland last year 575 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: and probably end up winning that football game, at least 576 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: they have a good shot at one of that game 577 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: Chargers win that game, the Browns right now would be 578 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: writing a thirty four game losing streak. Yeah, but that 579 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: is darn near impossible. At the NFL level, everyone's like, 580 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: there's no way the Lions can go in sixteen, Like 581 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: this is unheard of. I remember Jim Rome still. It 582 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: was like Jim Rome had a whole stick going about 583 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: how it is his dream, like the imperfect perfect season 584 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: to run the table in reverse, to go oh in sixteen, 585 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: and he was like, I don't know if it will 586 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: ever happen. These dudes almost did it back to back, 587 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: plus the three games they lost the year before. That's insane. 588 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: They could be if they lose, they're gonna lose next. 589 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: We can be thirty five straight games they would have 590 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: lost if not for the the Razor close when they 591 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: had over the Chargers last year. It's just nuts. It's 592 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot of losing. You think that's a lot of losing. 593 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: And the only thing I can compare to is when 594 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: I went to college. Um, we're one in ten my 595 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: freshman year, and that's coming off of a one intend 596 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: season that they had previously. And I would tell you, mentally, 597 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: you're just beat down after losing so many games. And 598 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: so whoever comes in, I mean, I think you almost 599 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: have to change to paint jobs in the building. Everything 600 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: has to be bright and white and all kinds of optimism, 601 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: because when you lose that many games, it wears you down. 602 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: You started looking for how we're gonna lose this game. 603 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's the mentality that you have in Cleveland. 604 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a tough job, but I 605 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: think it's one that certainly can be done. And I 606 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: think it's important in the draft. And this goes back 607 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: to Dorsey and Ron Wolf. He always had a thing 608 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: that when we drafted, we wanted to draft guys that 609 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: came from winning programs, and so I think you have 610 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: to have an infusion of guys that know how to win. 611 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: I would think they would draft a lot of guys 612 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: that have been in big Bowl games, one national titles, 613 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: and the light because you have to have guys to 614 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: get on board. And I think if you look at 615 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and some of the guys that they brought in, 616 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: we talked about their young defense. I don't think it's 617 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,959 Speaker 1: a coincidence that a lot of those guys came from 618 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: winning programs in college, No doubt. That's a good point. 619 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's get the train moving here. We got a 620 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: couple more to go. What's the number nine? Something is 621 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: wrong with Marcus Mariota. Mariota looks, looks, looks, pumps, rolls 622 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: to his right, rolling, trying to run, trying to get 623 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: away from Barrowin, and he is throwing it up in 624 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: the air. And the past is incomplete. The Rams are 625 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: gonna be able to finish this thing. Hey, we've had 626 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: this debate a long time about Jamis Winston and Marcus Marioda, 627 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: and whatever you feel about Jamis Winston, that's something that 628 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: we can talk about later on. I don't think he's 629 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: certainly had as baddest season as some are making it 630 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: out to be. But with Marcus Mariota, man, the proof 631 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: is in the put and I'm looking at the twelve 632 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: of fifteen touchdown, the interception ratio, a seventy six point 633 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: nine passer rating. But beyond the numbers, when I watch 634 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: him on tape, I'm seeing someone who's hesitant. He's indecisive, 635 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: he has accuracy issues, and he's not playing like a 636 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. I understand that he's had a litany of injuries. 637 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: He's I mean, and look, the list is long when 638 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: you look at it. Last year he had to broken fibulous. 639 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: This year he's at a nice brain. He has a 640 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: hamstring issue. Showed the issue and what this is really 641 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: shown more than anything. You rob him of his wheels. 642 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: He is not the same player. He is not a 643 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: guy that's very comfortable being a traditional quarterback. So as 644 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: a coach and if Mike mclarkey continues to be a coach, 645 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: I think you have to build this offense around his legs, 646 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: his athleticism, and you have to make it where it 647 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: is a mobile system. Much like Carolina has made the 648 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: system unique indifferent in Carolina, I believe they're gonna have 649 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: to make the offensive system in Tennessee unique and built 650 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: around Marcus Mariota's talents. Yeah, look, it's it's uh, it's 651 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: not pretty. I mean, I don't know how else you 652 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: say it. I find it interesting, though, there's it seems 653 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: like he's kind of a protected guy, very protected in 654 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: the media because he's nice, he's quiet, he's not playing well. 655 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that the number one criticism 656 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: that you hear for Marcus in the media. You know 657 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: what it is, the offense is not creative enough. Everybody, everybody, 658 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, what he wanted to do is just they 659 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: don't know how to use him. They don't know what 660 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: to do with him. It is funny. You gotta take 661 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: some responsibility for this. It is funny how that has 662 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: become like Mike, Mike Mallard. They don't say that about Jamis. 663 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: If Jamis is not doing well, that's not It is 664 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: funny how Marcus does get a hall pass on that, 665 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: and how the blame has been shifted from Marcus to 666 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: the coach. And so here here's the thing, Like, I mean, obviously, 667 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: let's connect with us. Let's just say Josh mcdaniers comes in. 668 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: What how creative is Josh going to be with a 669 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: guy like that? We've never seen him really do a 670 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: lot of run stuff or whatever. I know he drafted Tebow, 671 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: but he didn't nessary play Tebow. Like, what are they 672 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: gonna do with Marcus Mariota to help him be a 673 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: next level guy? And how is he gonna be a 674 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: next level guy as an athlete as he gets older? 675 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: What is going to be the thing? Because when I 676 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 1: look at what Tennessee has done, I've seen them try 677 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: and implement some of the r P O s. I've 678 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: seen them try and do some of the zwe Re stuff. 679 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: But he's been hurt. So if you can't run, you 680 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: can't do some of those things. I think it's a 681 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: tough job. I think it's a tough deal. No, it's 682 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, look, it's it's a situation where they've got 683 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: to find somebody to come in there that can get 684 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: with him and work with him and get him corrected. 685 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just a scheme thing. I think 686 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: there's some mechanical issues that that he needs to clean up, 687 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: and he's got some development needs to take place. It 688 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: sounds like a good chance it is with somebody new 689 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: coming in there to coach him. But broken, I think 690 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: that's the word or you said something wrong with him. 691 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: He has, something's broken needs to be fixed. Man. It's 692 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a process here going forward, and it's 693 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: not an easy one. I have my doubts about whether 694 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna see him ever a cent being an elite 695 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: level quarterback. Last one on the list here, number ten 696 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: on the takeaways. Uh, this is something we've touched on 697 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: a couple of times throughout the year. But man, just 698 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: hit me again this week and I wanted to throw 699 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: it out there one more time. It's good. It's a 700 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: good thing to be a former Buffalo Bill. Under center 701 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: with Curly behind him, he takes the snap, throws the 702 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: right side, slants Sammy Watkins right in front of his face. 703 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: Masks makes the catch. It's another goal line score for 704 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, his eighth touchdown of the season, and the 705 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: Rams take the lead. Buffalo Bills are contributing to a 706 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: lot of success around the league. Buck. When I look 707 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: at Marquis good one and what he's done for the 708 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners really emerged as a playmaker. You 709 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: just heard that Sammy Watkins touchdown for the Rams. His 710 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: other former teammate, Robert Woods done a nice job there 711 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: with the Rams. We touched on Marcel Darius when he 712 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: first got to Jacksonville was making an impact there. Gillis lad, Yeah, 713 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: maybe not as much with the with the Patriots, but 714 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: we have seen some things from him. Man, they jettison 715 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: to a lot of dudes, And I get it from 716 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: a ulture standpoint. You want to you want to get 717 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: your own culture, and they're your own guys. If they're 718 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: not buying in, ship them out of there. But man, 719 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills team is whiskers away from getting a 720 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: playoff spot for the first time in about twenty years. 721 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: You'd like to think maybe some of those guys could 722 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: help them get there, for sure, I think, um, and 723 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: I understand everyone wants to put their own stamp on 724 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: it when you take over, But Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, uh, 725 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: Markey's good when those guys stoudainly could have helped Reggie 726 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: Raglan is making plays down in Kansas City, Um, Marcel 727 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: Darius is helping the jackson With Jaguars as a run stuffer. Yeah, 728 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: at some point, if you keep subtractive without adding the 729 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: overall talent of your roster starts to diminish. And I 730 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: think right now, what we have is a field good 731 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: story in Buffalo because they got a bunch of overachievers 732 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: playing as hard as they can and they are right there. 733 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they're gonna be 734 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: a eight and eight, nine and seven football team just 735 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: because they don't have the talent to deal with some 736 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: of the heavyweights that are in the top of the league. Yeah, 737 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: so I don't know. Look, look, they it's part of 738 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: a building process. I get it. There, man, that's a 739 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: lot of talent they shipped off. Now to their in 740 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: their defense, they do have a bunch of draft picks 741 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: players and see if they can get the right guys. 742 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the big challenge for them. Marcel Darius 743 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: only had one tackle last week against the forty diners. 744 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: I did not get a chance to study that one yet, 745 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: but he was early on making a big impact, especially 746 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: against the run. All right, that's uh, that's the takeaway portion, Bucky. 747 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: Now we gotta get to our Offensive Line of the 748 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: Week presented by the Ford f Series. Of course, our 749 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: good buddy Shan O'Hara does this each and every week. Nomination. 750 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: Are you got anybody you want to you want to 751 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,479 Speaker 1: throw out there for this one. Well, you know, I love, 752 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: I have always have an affinity and the finest for 753 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: my old team. So how about Kannas City and Kareem 754 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: Hunt in the offensive line of the Kanna City Chiefs 755 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: and did a nice job controlling the ground. I think 756 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: really since Naggy took over the play calling there, you 757 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: can point to them being a little bit more concentrated, 758 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: a lot of focused in the run game. And uh, 759 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: I think it's really paid off for that team as 760 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: they've gotten back on track and won the a f 761 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: C West and I believe secured the number four spot 762 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: is where they're gonna be in the postseason. So I'm 763 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: with you on that. O accept dot nomination.
