1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks. Ten takeaways from week fifteen

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, and Rhett Lewis. What's up? Everybody?

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks? D J, Bucky right back

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: with you. A little takeaway episode, boys, what's going on?

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Not just a good another good week, another good week

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: of football? College bro. We got all kinds of chaos

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: being created. The New York Jets' send the world is

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: it's easy four minutes, so, I mean, it's just another

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: exciting week. And it's the holidays, it's right before. Yeah,

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: hold on, can you guys hear this? Are you guys

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: hearing this? Everybody? Yeah, everybody seems to really enjoy htt

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Typing during the show is something we've learned over the

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: last week. Uh, it's been handled. Listening, it's been handled.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: It's been handled. Okay, Rett had to do Uh we

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: went Joe judge on him a couple of laps and

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: now it's been it's been resolved. All right, But let

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: you kick us off here. While Rhet doesn't type, this

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: is easy, the Chiefs keep it going. First in chan

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs at the st third team sprint option action,

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes keeps it pitches at lake back the battle at

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: this right sideline touchdown Cansas City sprint option. It was

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Texas Tech pitching the Michigan State and the Chiefs get

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: to covertent two possession lead on a thirteen yard sprint

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: option running pitch by Mahomes Bell finishes it off. You know,

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: it's something else watching the Chiefs play each week because

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily bring their a game every week, but

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: they find a way to get it done. The last

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: twenty three games they've been out, they've won twenty two

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: of them. Uh, they have just found a way to

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: consistently get it done. And I understand that the New

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints were a little shorthanded. You didn't have Michael Thomas. Uh,

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: you lose Cam Jordan in the fourth quarter. You still

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to get Drew Brees back

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: into the mix. But the Canci the Chiefs go on

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: the road and do what they need to do. And

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: I just think this is a team that is just

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: so tough to deal with because from an offensive standpoint,

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: they can make up for all the mistakes that did

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: Deepeness makes and they can score in bunches and they

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: really put you in a bud. That's it. The New

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints may have put a blueprint out on how

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: to defend them because they really limited the explosive place. Yeah,

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: and they pressured him. They pressured him, and they hit him.

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't seen Patrick Mahomes take hits like

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: that in some time. He took a couple of big ones,

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: even when Cam Jordan went out, Um your you guys,

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: this old Paltrey Hendrickson was getting to him a couple

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: of times as well. Look, ninety two plays for the

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense. I mean that's that's a that's a hard

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: day's work, and that's a full day's working there on offense.

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: And um, look, I think the McCole Hardman TD pass

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: that floater, um just shows you that even when you

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: do everything right like the Saints did on that play

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: and you got everyone pretty much covered, Mahomes can still

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: beat you. And he does. And he it on that

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: play which I thought was just a throwaway like everyone

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: else on the broadcast too. He's just he is better

58
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: than your best defense is essentially the conclusion. And the

59
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: other thing is for the Saints, I mean Drew Brees,

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, he might get right here in these next

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: two weeks. But that wasn't it right, That's his first

62
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: sub fifty percent completion game in like five years, and

63
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: with no Michael Thomas down the stretch here, you wonder

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: if they're gonna have enough to kind of figure things

65
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: out here to be ready to play Week one in

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: the postseason. And then even if they do win their

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: first postseason game, how much confidence do you have in

68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Drew Brees going up to Lambo to play the Packers. No,

69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean they they've got to uh, they've got to

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: be playing in the dome there to have a lot

71
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: of confidence. But I would say this is Brees start

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: out terrible, right, it was terrible. You got beared it

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: out as a game went on, ain't knocked some of

74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: that rusted off. So I guess it's better to have

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: him come back in the regular season knocked that rust

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: off before you get to the postseason. But I don't

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: see this team winning outdoors and uh in Green Bay,

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: I didn't. I just don't see that happen. Um, with

79
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the way they're constructed with Drew out there, they're gonna

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: have sprinkling more taste health. They're going to do that

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: one one more thing on the case. C deal. I

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: went back and watched We hear so much about Kelsey

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: and Tyreek, so when you go back and watch it,

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: they saw so much man in this game. So you

85
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: saw every combination of rub route match and then they

86
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: do it Watkins, Robinson and Hardman, so they've got three

87
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: guys that can really really run, and so you get

88
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: a rub route which gives you just a little bit

89
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: of separation. Buck Um, all of a sudden, those five

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: yard ten yard throws during five yard games, you know

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing because everyone thinks the only way you

92
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: can use speed is in the vertical aspect, but horizontally

93
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: speed is an advantage. And uh, it's funny because Kansas

94
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: City basically did what New Orleans does to most people.

95
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Run everybody through the picket fence, um and see if

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you can kind of navigate your way around it, and

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: if you can't, it does lead to explosive games. Um.

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: This kans the Chiefs team is just so versatile and dynamic.

99
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: And you get left Bill coming back in the midd

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: X because he has to step in for the Ricky injury,

101
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: and you can see he can be effected down the stretch.

102
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: So it'd be interesting to see how these guys played

103
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: down the stretch. No, now, um, all right, let's keep

104
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: it rolling here. Let's get to take away number two,

105
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: the death of a dynasty quarterback snake touchdown there, there's

106
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: a clutch down finally, and then I'll get to the

107
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins twelve league we thought they had before with three

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: thirteen left to play. Yeah, so no postseason this year

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: for the Patriots after their incredible run of success with

110
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. That all goes away the

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Uh, take care of the Patriots in this

112
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: one where that will get the Dolphins side. You guys

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: hit that if you want, you know too. I thought

114
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: it was very efficient throwing to a bunch of guys

115
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: that there aren't gonna be a part of his team

116
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: going forward. Side note on that, there's nobody that started

117
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: at the skill positions for two in that game that

118
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: would have started for his last team in Alabama, zero

119
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: single one. Not even a joke, right, I mean, like,

120
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: none of those running backs wouldn't play. Nobody at tighten

121
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Kizeki went out there, so the tight ends wouldn't have played. Um,

122
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: but anyways, they'll they'll they'll get more pieces around him

123
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: as they get healthier and add next year. But about

124
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: New England, I just I want to throw this one

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: thought out to your book. Um, what about the combination

126
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz to New England? How about that one? Interesting?

127
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Very interesting because we think one is young, a young

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: reclamation project to take on. Josh Mcganniers has done really

129
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: well in terms of getting quarterbacks ready to play. Um,

130
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: you know when you look at the number in terms

131
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: of what the number will be, their number won't be

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: exorbitant when it comes to the way these next quarterback

133
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: contracts are coming in. So you have someone who has played,

134
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: who is who has done it. We've seen him at

135
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: his highest level and that's what Bill Belichick with great

136
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: him on. Yeah, and I think people who are worried

137
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: about the injury thing, he just took a flatwel with

138
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton coming off into the injury. So I don't

139
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: think that necessarily scares him. It's all about banging for

140
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: the book for the Patriots and they need to do

141
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: it now. That's it. If they take him, they need

142
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: to make sure they upgrade the wide receivers because you

143
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: will be dealing with the same thing that he dealt

144
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: with in Philadelphia, and so they have to make a

145
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: considerat effort to find some pass catchers that can make

146
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: place consistently. That is a huge problem. And they also

147
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: got to take the hamlet to the rest of the

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: roster because we have seen this is an older team

149
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: that never had enough replacements that they are acquired in

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: the draft the last few years, and it all bores

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: ugly head this year. So I will double down on

152
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: that because I mean, DJ we talked about it this

153
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: morning when I was driving in to do the aftermath

154
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: here this morning about you know, they've got the Patriots

155
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: have to overhaul the wide receiver corps um all the

156
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: way through, and so they're gonna have to overpay. I mean,

157
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: they need, they need a couple of free agents. They're

158
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to draft a couple of guys as well.

159
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: They but they're gonna have to overpay, as you do

160
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: most of the time and free agency, right so, I'm

161
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: looking at the top flight guys out there next year.

162
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Are gonna be Kenny Golladay if he doesn't get franchise

163
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: in Detroit, Chris Godwin if he doesn't get franchised in Tampa,

164
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, will Fuller and Juju Smith Schuster are all

165
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: gonna be up, like, do they have to make a

166
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: run for one of those guys, one of those top

167
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: flight guys or do you see them probably looking in

168
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the DeMarcus Robinson with the Chiefs, Kendrick Borne with the

169
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: forty Niners, Chris tom Lee the Jaguars. That's more of

170
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: their style, right, But even with those guys, I bet

171
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: you're still gonna have to go to six seven mill

172
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: per year kind of route there. That's just that's just

173
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: what it costs on the open market. Um, are they

174
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna give Joe Tuney fifteen mill per year to be

175
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: an elite guard that got his center David Andrews up to.

176
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that. If you're rebuilding essentially an offense,

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you can afford to pay fifteen million

178
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: dollars to a guard. I don't know, just but he's

179
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: he's arguably their best player on offense. Yeah, No, it's

180
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see what they do. They

181
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: can go in a lot of different places. I just

182
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: think I'm just thinking of the Jets in my mind.

183
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: You're all these receivers and offensive linement. I'm like, there's

184
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a line here when you think of some

185
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: of these other teams that have needs those at those

186
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: two positions. Real quick, on on the Dolphins, if I

187
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: just to say for the playoff team in this conversation,

188
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: their defense is for real and I think that's gonna

189
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: give them an opportunity in the postseason. I know they're

190
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: not in there yet, um, but if they you know,

191
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: they're going to control their own destiny. Destiny they went out,

192
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in and I think their defense is

193
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna give him a shot to win the game. Just physical, man,

194
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: that's the way that they play. And saving Howard definitely

195
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: in the in the mixed for defensive Player of the

196
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Year with the with the year that he's keep us rolling.

197
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: Here right, what we got? All right? Here we go

198
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: with the intro of the day. Tampa bucks up in

199
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the second half, wo Worth moving like first bounds, radio

200
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: seven step drop looks Scoffield wants all of the those

201
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: talk together kind of receiver all but Tonio Brown touch

202
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: stops Tampa Bay bucking airs technically for the first time

203
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: of the game, and Brown houses first touchdown. That was

204
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: such a huge play in that game. His first touchdown

205
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: is the touchdown that gives them the lead for the

206
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: first time. But stop me if you've heard this before, right,

207
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not bury the lead. A Tom Brady

208
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: team down seventeen points at the half to the Atlanta

209
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: Falcons and come on, not again, not again? Uh So, Yes,

210
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: this is Tom Brady's fourth career win including the playoffs,

211
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: after trailing by seventeen or more points at the half,

212
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: the most such wins by any quarterback in that kind

213
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: of situation in Super Bowl in the Super Bowl era,

214
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: and the most recent one since, of course, super Bowl

215
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: fifty one or trail a half came back to win

216
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: thirty four. Another thing I learned in our aftermath meeting

217
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: is that the Falcons since that Super Bowl fifty one

218
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: game are now exactly in thirty four the score of

219
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: the game. And then that's uh Brady was. Brady was

220
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: terrific in the second half. UM, And I think that

221
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: they're going to clinch a playoff firth here with a

222
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: win in Week sixteen against the Lions. UM. But I'd

223
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: like to give a ton of credit, as I know

224
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: you will, dj to what the Tampa Bay defense did,

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: particularly from the second level in this game, with Devin

226
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: White having another monster performance with with over ten tackles

227
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: in three sacks, three sacks for him and Buck on

228
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: one one of them he just checking checking the back.

229
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: So when Todd Todd Gurley stays in, it was a

230
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: fascinating play because it Girle is gonna chip and then release.

231
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: So if the quarterback has time to wait for Gurley

232
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: because Devin White's coming, there's nobody there for him. But

233
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: it's just a Devin White is saying I can get

234
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: to Matt Ryan before he can chip and get out,

235
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: and it's just like a B line, and he was right.

236
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: It was a good gamble. He got him. But he

237
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: is he is a really really good player. I've got

238
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: concerns in the back end for that group because I've

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: seen the ball sail over their heads, which would leave

240
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: me to my kind of takeaway from this game, Buck

241
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: is that we ought to do something on great players

242
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: bad teams, because Calvin Ridley is a great player. Man.

243
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: The team stinks, but he is phenomenal. He's an outstanding

244
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: route runner. When the rob runners in the league, and

245
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: we have seen those guys have a tendency to get open,

246
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. I think if you're

247
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, I know you're Ray Morrison, you hate

248
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: to lose, but I think this push you where you

249
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: need to be when it comes to draft position. You're

250
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: sitting at the number five pick um. You have Kevin

251
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: Ridley emerging as a young superstar. You have an older

252
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: receiver in Julio Jones that maybe you can auction off.

253
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: We talked about this rebuild and DJ, we talked about

254
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: a red You've been on the show, We've talked about it.

255
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: The thing that Atlantic can do is it can seduce

256
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: you into thinking that it's a retool rather than a rebuild.

257
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 1: And I think that you approves you need to completely

258
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: rebuild it and bring it back, and you have an

259
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to do it with a new school quarterback leading

260
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: the way. Even though Matt Ryan played outstanding against the Bucks.

261
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah but the previous six, Yeah but this this week

262
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: was much better for sure. Okay, here we go. Sam

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: Donald makes his case. That's Johnson who flipped from the

264
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: rights to the left of Donald at the snap on

265
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: third down. He's got another catch at the twenty. He's

266
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: got the tan first down at the five, he gets

267
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: the pylon for a touchdown, able to run through Jordan

268
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: Fuller and convert the nineteen yard touchdown. Ty Johnson doing

269
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: damage on the Jets opening drive. They've got a six

270
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: nothing lead with six to go first quarter. Hey, Sam

271
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: Donald is not immune to hearing the conversation and what

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: everyone has been saying in New York. The jerseys that

273
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: have already been printed up with a prospect for maybe

274
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Clemson coming over with Sam Donald had an opportunity to

275
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: be something about it, and so in his homecoming he

276
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: decided that oh no, no, no, no, no, I QB

277
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: one for the New York Jets and it's not changing.

278
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: I thought this was one of the better performances that

279
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: we've seen from the Jets. This is a team that

280
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: had deserved to win. They should have been the Patriots

281
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. They should have knocked off the

282
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Raiders if not for ill fated defense of the Hill Mary,

283
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: and then they got it against the Rams. One under

284
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: I guess under reported factor in this. Frank Bush, their

285
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: interim defensive coordinator, was with the Rams doing Jerry Galls

286
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: rookie season, and so someone knowing the warts on that quarterback.

287
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a coincidence that they dialed

288
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: it up and they heated him up. He wilted it

289
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: under the pressure, didn't play well. I think the Jets

290
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: deserved to win it as much as Jets fans and

291
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to see the number one pick. Too much

292
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: pride involved when you get into these contests. They won

293
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: the game, they beat them up for sixty minutes, and

294
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: deserve to win. I just to me, I have a

295
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: hard time with this. I know a lot of Jet

296
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: fans are upset about this and losing a chance at

297
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, and there's there's an aspect of that that

298
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: we'll hit on tomorrow's podcast. Buck. I know we want

299
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: to talk about this because I did some homework and

300
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: if you look at the last eleven drafts and you

301
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: look at who the first quarterback was picked, and you

302
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: look at who went on to be the best quarterback

303
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: from that draft, the numbers will surprise you a little

304
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: bit on that one. So we'll get to that tomorrow.

305
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: So that's a teeth for tomorrow. But the other side

306
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: of this is there's something kind of psychological about us.

307
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: While the Jets have a lot of picks and they

308
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of money. They're gonna bring in a

309
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: lot of new players and try and retool this team.

310
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: They still have a nucleus of some guys, and you

311
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: really want that culture to be anything other than trying

312
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: to win every time you put your your cleats on

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: the grass. Like, I just I don't think you can

314
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: be a winning culture if that seeps into your mind.

315
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I just don't. I'm I'm not wired that way. And

316
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: I think that sometimes we get caught up in the

317
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: media and people comparing the NFL to other sports. This

318
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: is not the NBA. This is not Lebron James coming

319
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: uh to be the savior and and to lead your

320
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: team to the finals every year for you know, a

321
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: decade plus, Like, that's not how this works in the NFL.

322
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Is a lot more to it than that. And if

323
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: you're the Jets, if you if you get if you're

324
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: able to get Trevor Lawrence at the first pick, you're

325
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: still gonna have to hit on a lot of other

326
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: players in order to be a championship team. And if

327
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: you don't get Trevor Lawrence, if you can, if you

328
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: think Sam's the right guy, you build around him. If

329
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: you think there's another quarterback in this draft class, you

330
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: build around him, you still gotta build a dank team.

331
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: And so this whole, this skuy is falling. It's never

332
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: They're never gonna recover because they're not gonna Trevor Lawrence potentially. Um,

333
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't buy that. No, I don't. I don't buy

334
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: anither DJ. I mean, I think this, this is what

335
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: you want to do. You want to give yourself the

336
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: best opportunity to get out there and win each week.

337
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: And they deserved it. And nobody wants only sixteen. I mean,

338
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: you can speak to that who you know, you you

339
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: with with the Lions. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants. That's

340
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: the that's the first line. And what I was when

341
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: I was kind of just looking at all of our

342
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: takeaways here that that popped into my mind as I

343
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: was like, all right, look good for sand darn good

344
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: for Adam Gates. Maybe not as good for Joe Douglas,

345
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: but good for the Jets. Because in my two thousand

346
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: eight Lions fandom, I sat around waiting for that wind

347
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: number one and it never came. Still waiting for it,

348
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, and and it's it sucks to lose and

349
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: to lose weekend and week out when you are as

350
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: invested as every single person in that Jets organization is

351
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: in winning, and to come out and lose for thirteen

352
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: straight weeks, Um, it wears on you and they you know,

353
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm happy for them to get that win. I don't know. Look,

354
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: the whole number one pick thing, you know, we'll talk

355
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: about that for the next few weeks here. But the

356
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: interesting thing is they become the first number the first

357
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: one in fifteen team to not get the number one

358
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: pick since like your Carolina Panthers, Bucky and and they

359
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: only missed out because the Texans came into the league

360
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: as an expansion team and uh and got the number one.

361
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: So look, it's it's a it's a kind of a

362
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: rub both ways. I see it. But um, I don't know.

363
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: It'll make for an interesting draft conversation, that's for sure.

364
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: It makes the draft spice up a little bit here

365
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: for us because Jacksonville, we knew was taking a quarterback.

366
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: They weren't gonna be committed Garner Minshew with Sam Donald.

367
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: It becomes a little more complex, which is gonna be

368
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: used in the spring. Selfishly speaking, all right, I'll keep

369
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: it moving here Philip peaking at the perfect time. Again,

370
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: pass the emotion from right to left. Whatever sets up

371
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: throws his left side. Is that passed with the five

372
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: yard line looking for the pile put us three six hard,

373
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: twenty touchdown past. Zach Pascal has been good man. I'm

374
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: gonna do a little breakdown on him on the aftermath today.

375
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: He's been Uh, he's been impressive and on the same

376
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: page as a quarterback. And Philip Rivers who buck If

377
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: you haven't noticed, is uh, he's not turning the football over.

378
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: You look at the last five six weeks, he's done

379
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: a really good job playing clean football. Really. The only

380
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: loss has been against the Colts team when they didn't

381
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: have the Forest Buckner, they didn't have Jonathan Taylor, they

382
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: were down a bunch of guys to the Titans. I

383
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: should say, uh that Titans games the only game they've lost.

384
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: So um, this is a team that's really humming along.

385
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: And I think Philip Rivers is showing when he's protected.

386
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: It might not always look beautiful coming out of his hand,

387
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: but he gets it where it needs to be. And

388
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: they're playing winning football. They are playing winning football DJ

389
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: and I believe like the kN C. The Chiefs are

390
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: the clear number one team in the a f C

391
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: and even in the league. But if I could say

392
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the one team that they don't want to face, I

393
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: would say it would be the End and afterlis coats

394
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: the end of Afolis Goes knocked them off in twenty nineteen.

395
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: They play a style that works against what the Kancity

396
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs want to do. And Philip Rivers is the ultimate

397
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: wild card because in a one game scenario, if he

398
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: gets hot, he can certainly light up the scoreboard. And

399
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: so this team is rounding into form. And as long

400
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: as Frank Wright avoids the temptation of getting cute and

401
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: trying to do too much with the quarterback, I think

402
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: this team is built the right way because they are

403
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: a fast team, and they're very, very physical, and they

404
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: have a dominant set of trenches you know, old line,

405
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: D line that gives them a chance. I just I mean,

406
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: I think you guys have nailed it here on this

407
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: Rivers has played really well and and they've really rediscovered

408
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton in this offense the last three weeks now,

409
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: in addition to Zach Pascal and the way Jonathan Taylor's

410
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: running the football, their offenses clicking on all cylinders, that's

411
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: for sure. So Philip Rivers is eight team touchdowns in

412
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: four interceptions since Week six. What if he continues on

413
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: this hot streak, they have a deep run in the playoffs,

414
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: and he says he wants to back next year. I

415
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: think they'd take him back. I think they would take

416
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: even if Carson Wentz was available. Well, that would be

417
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: an interesting discussion, but there would be I think I

418
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: think they would probably feel even better with Philip Rivers

419
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: than Carson Wentz. But you know what they got, and

420
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they guy, and they just went through

421
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: a year doing it, and Philip is taking a little

422
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: bit of a back seat to the running game when

423
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: he's needed to. Without whatever. I think it's just an

424
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: easier thing from the cultural thing that you created in

425
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: the locker room to bring Philip back as opposed to

426
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: bring in another thing. Yeah, I would suggest today draft

427
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: a guy, but I think no matter what they think

428
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: of him, I would say that again, DJ, They've got Easton.

429
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of what they think of exactly. Yeah,

430
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,

431
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean Obviously we're making the

432
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: connection because of Frank Reich and his success with Carson

433
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. So I just want to make sure that's clear.

434
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: But um, you know it's It's interesting because with a

435
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: quarterback like Philips, I meaning, it has the potential to

436
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: completely fall off a cliff and it could happen week

437
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: two next year, it could happen week three. You know.

438
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: We don't know. Um, we don't know. And that's all

439
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: due respect to his talent. What he's done this year,

440
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: it's been terrific in a in a big reason why

441
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: the Colts are having their success. So interesting conversation, I'll

442
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: get us to the next one. Here, the Ravens roar

443
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: past the Jags. Mark Jackson of the shotgun in an

444
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: empty backfield on twent and I left to play on

445
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: the half. Jackson wants to throw backpedaling at the twenty.

446
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Now he'll dart over to the left, extends the play,

447
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: fires in the end zone. Touchdown Dez Bryant his first

448
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: as a Raven, and I'll slash the X to the stands.

449
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: He has waited four plus years to get back to

450
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: the end zone as the former Dallas Cowboy gets his

451
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: first score as a Raven. Good for Dez Bryant. Um.

452
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't intend to go deep on Dez here,

453
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: but I've read a couple of things, um since since

454
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: then this morning, and so you know, I was listening

455
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: to his comments after the game, and I was, you know,

456
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: always I was watching his Instagram clips of him running

457
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: routes in the off season for months and months and

458
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: months and posting all that stuff. And you know, he

459
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: talked about how his daughter was his motivation for getting

460
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: back into the league, like he was content to call

461
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: it a career after tearing his achilles with the Saints,

462
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: sitting out a season and not having many bites, and

463
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: his daughter was the one that encouraged him to get

464
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: back into it. So he started working and he started

465
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: working out, and and he got back and talked about

466
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: how he was going to give that ball a touchdown

467
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: that he caught to her, and you know, I just

468
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: I love seeing those kind of those kind of reclamation stories,

469
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it was a big it was

470
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: big play for the Ravens in that game, and and

471
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, he could end up being a good player

472
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: for him down the stretch here into the playoffs and

473
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: the other thing was, you know, like everyone's talking about

474
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: throwing up the X right for the first time, Like

475
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: he talked about what it meant, and I didn't. I

476
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: didn't really know what the whole throwing up the X

477
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: thing meant. And he said, you know, it means exciting,

478
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: exiting out the negativity, not letting the criticism or the

479
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: negativity into your life and to get to you. And

480
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: he certainly had to do that here the last three years, um,

481
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: one thousand, one hundred and six days since he last

482
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown. So I just thought that whole thing

483
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: was cool um for Dez and then Lamar Jackson, it's

484
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: this is this is his time right now, he's he

485
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: is playing well, he's playing at the m v P

486
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: we saw for a year ago. Now can they get

487
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: into the Can they get into the dance? Because I

488
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: think they'll cause some problems that they do. Yeah, you know,

489
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: I think it's funny you talk about xing out all

490
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: the stuff. I think the Baltimore Ravens and finally exed

491
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: out all the criticism and all the conversation about how

492
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: they should play and then got back to playing the

493
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: way that they're built to play. They played a team

494
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: that they were superior then, and what they did they

495
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: kept it really simple. They hit him right in the

496
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: face and ran the ball. And I think for the

497
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, when they stick to that script, that is

498
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: when they're at their best. When they attempt to be

499
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: something that they're not and they get out of character,

500
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: that's when it trips them up. I will say the

501
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: way that they're using J. K. Dobbins is really interesting.

502
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: When you look at the tape and you see them

503
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: using jet sweeps and fly swee all of that other stuff.

504
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: He is becoming a bit of a factor because in

505
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: the backfield they don't have a lot of juice. He

506
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: is their juice player and they're beginning to give him

507
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: opportunities to have those explosive players on the perimeter. And

508
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll just finish this one up before Bucky

509
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: gets to the next takeaway with When you look at

510
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: all the picks the Jacksonville Jaguars have and now the

511
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: number one overall pick as it stands right now, um,

512
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: it's in a pretty attractive job. They've got some good

513
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: young players on that team. You've got a boatload of picks,

514
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: including potentially the number one overall pick um. I think

515
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: that one, you can make a case jumps to the

516
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: front of the line for a lot of people when

517
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: you look at desirable jobs. Definitely, yeah, I mean, I

518
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: definitely think it's it's a great job as a job

519
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: that people are gonna clamor for with all the things

520
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: that are lined up there. Seven the Cardinals survive. Shotgun

521
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: snap to Murray, drops back to fall buyer's left side.

522
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: Hop hands the Odrey Hopkins puts his hands on and

523
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: he catches it and it's a touchdown. I have no

524
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: idea how he caught that ball. DeAndre Hopkins hands are

525
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: as good as we've ever seen in the National Football League.

526
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: I have no idea how he caught that football with

527
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: the defender all over it. Uh, it's funny and making

528
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: that call because he does have remarkable hands. And I

529
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: know if you're in Arizona, you're Steve come and their crew,

530
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: and you've been looking at Larry Fizgerald make these catches

531
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: for years on end. If we had to make a

532
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: debate between who has the better hands between and the Hopkins,

533
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was because these guys catch everything.

534
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: Because later in the game, Lary Fizgerald makes a catch

535
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: in the corner of the yes and you're sitting there like,

536
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: how did Larry fis Gerald see this? And so this

537
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: is a team that survived, and I would say that

538
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: they couldn't necessarily put the Eagles away the way that

539
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: you thought they would be able to put him away.

540
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: But I do believe this is a team that can

541
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: be problematic for teams just because Colin Murray had a

542
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: foe of yard day. He can scoot and scatter with

543
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: his with his running ability, and then DeAndre Hopkins can

544
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: make plays that his ar can make plays. Just a

545
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: tough team, and Asaia Simmons is beginning to play more.

546
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Asaia Simmons, Hassan and Reddick, the way they're dialing up

547
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: the Bliss packages has rush Man. They're they're really random

548
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: and they're scary because they come after you in a

549
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: lot of different ways. Yeah, I'm with you on that.

550
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: Talk to Hassan Reddick on NFL Now and just it's

551
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting career arc that he's taken. Seems

552
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: to have found a home now rushing the pastor on

553
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: the outside for this team after not being in that

554
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: position in his first couple of years kind of going

555
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: through what this is third defensive coordinator now in forty

556
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: years with Vance Joseph and seems to have found a

557
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: home here. Uh. The thing I'll say on the Eagles is,

558
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about Jalen Hurts in the word

559
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: that is most associated with him has been spark. Right,

560
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: everybody wants been looking for the spark. Well, he is

561
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: the spark. He is an energy giver. But with the

562
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: spark and with the energy, he also brings calm and poise.

563
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: I felt like and it just even when they were

564
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: down early, you just you felt like they had a chance,

565
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: Like there was a there was a confidence when the

566
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: Eagles offense was out onto the field. And I don't

567
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that that was there before he was

568
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: He was out there, So you know, how do you

569
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: send him back to the bench if he puts up

570
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: two more games, We're not you're not you're not there.

571
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: You ill take it away. And that's why we always

572
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: talk about too though with the quarterback position. People look

573
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: at the salary. It's it's it's the budget amount you

574
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: have for the position. So the fact that if Carson

575
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: were to not work out and you move on and

576
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: you have to take some of that hit on. Really,

577
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: when you consider how little Jalen Hurts is going to

578
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: be making as a second round pick, it's the money

579
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: allocated to the position. So it's not like you're replacing

580
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: expensive entity with another expensive, expensive entity coming in that

581
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: it isn't It doesn't cost that much, So you can

582
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: kind of throw that away in terms of ow because

583
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: the money they couldn't do this. Yeah, that absolutely they can.

584
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: They've got the money budgeted for that position. It's just

585
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: a matter I who's out there playing um and and

586
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: he's earning that opportunity. Now. The one the one caution

587
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: caution earything out throughout there is I think we kind

588
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: of talked about Carson he needed to speed up his

589
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: clock and Carson got a little bit shell shocked because

590
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 1: he just got hit so much, and I thought that

591
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: really impacted him. Jalen took six sacks in this game.

592
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: After last week, I want to say against the Saints,

593
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: I don't think he took one UM So this this

594
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: offensive line is not healthy. They stink and he's done

595
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: a good job of overcoming that and finding ways to

596
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: make plays. But gosh, you know, when you start having

597
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: those five and six sacked games. That has a residual

598
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: effect down the line here, So they've got to figure

599
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: out a way to either get him some more design winners,

600
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: some quick kidders um do a better job of keeping

601
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: him up right Buck. Yeah, it was funny because watching

602
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: this game, they brought pressure, I mean, they brought zero pressures.

603
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: They were coming after him, and they did a really

604
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: good job of covering it up. The one thing that

605
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: I would like to see the Eagles do. They loved

606
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: the fade ball, but man versus the bliss. Every time

607
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: you bliss, you can't just say my answer is the

608
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: fade because it's such a low percentage path. So I

609
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: would just like to see them do more with it.

610
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: But Red, you you hit to nail on the hit.

611
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: When it came to poise, his experience and his ability

612
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: to kind of calm everything down, I think his best

613
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: trade really has to do with that part of it.

614
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: He has been a prose pro when it comes to

615
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: managing the huddle, even when you hear him talk about,

616
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: hey we gotta play to the standard, that's not good enough.

617
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: I just think his leadership ability has really stood out

618
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: doing these two games yep and and one other thing

619
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: here before we move on to the next one. I'll

620
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: get us to the vikings here in a second. But um,

621
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, Eagles didn't have all their guys defensively.

622
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: I thought the way they tried to defend Kyler, which

623
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: did not work, but it was It was fascinating because

624
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: you've seen a couple of teams do this now, which

625
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: is you're not going to be able to stop Kyler

626
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: from escaping in every direction, right, because you've got what

627
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: five or six different ways you can go as a

628
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: as a quarterback to be able to escape. I think

629
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: they're sick. They said, there's six lanes, right, You're not

630
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop all that. Some people will

631
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: try and attempt the mush rush. So they're just gonna

632
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: try and make a wall up in front of you.

633
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: Some people are gonna try and pin you in. Um,

634
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's so difficult to do that too.

635
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: So what they did is they ended up dropping off. Uh.

636
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: They did a few times that I saw on the

637
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: tape the end to his right, so they would drop

638
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: him off to spy him, but basically trying to encourage

639
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: him if he is going to escape. Buck. They wanted

640
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: to get him to escape to the left, get him

641
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: to go for this person, and it's it didn't even

642
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there was one time where he still escapes

643
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: to the right and then and then the spy closed

644
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: on a quick he dumps it off in the flat,

645
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: they break a tackle. It's a long gainer, but I

646
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: think it's fascinating to see how teams are trying to

647
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: deal with Kyler Murray and all the trouble he presents.

648
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: He pretends to a lot of problems, and I think

649
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: what Kylie has to to know is that he needs

650
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: to use his legs enough to make them stay on

651
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: board with that, because sometimes in the pocket or whatever,

652
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: they need to run him enough to make sure that

653
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: they always hear that part of his game. But this

654
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: offense is unique in there better when they're able to

655
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: run the football, Kenyan Drake being able to have plays,

656
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: Kyla Murray being able to break, contain and do some things.

657
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: If they run the ball and ask and balance to

658
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: this offense, this is when I they really operated their bits.

659
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's keep it going here with the

660
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Vikings need a defensive overhaul to the fourteen, a fresh set.

661
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: It downs Graham in motion of the right snap, Tritiski

662
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: extend the handoff right opening from up every ten five

663
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: with a couple of right along the way touchdown there.

664
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: David Montgomery does it again and a seventeen league. Okay,

665
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: So here's a name that I'm sure nobody's thought of

666
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: this whole year, definitely not on the national level, and

667
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: that's Michael Pierce. Michael Pierce, a defensive tackle from the

668
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens at the Minnesota Vikings. Signed in the off season.

669
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: He opted out of the season, So you lose Linval Joseph.

670
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: You let him walk, and he was actually even the

671
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: charges that don't have a good win loss record, Livall

672
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: Joseph's played very well. He's a really good player. So

673
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna let him walk. You're hoping to replace him

674
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: with Michael Pierce. You take him out of that mix.

675
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Then you look at Danil Hunter in that situation. They

676
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: they haven't had two key pieces. There is absolut be

677
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 1: the case. But also when you look at them at

678
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: the second and third level, even though I know there's

679
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot of money and a lot of high draft

680
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: picks in those areas, they have not played well. Enough,

681
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: they are going to have to get some reinforcements. I'm

682
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: just not used to seeing a Mike Zimmer defense, you know,

683
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: consistently give up thirty points and all these losses. They

684
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: have got to be better there. I think Kirk Cousins

685
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: is kind of an easy punching bag for a lot

686
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: of people, and it's the quick, easy thing there. But

687
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: when you look at their losses, a lot of those

688
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: games are giving up way too much defensively, So they've

689
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: got to figure out. You know, they gotta guys, get

690
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: guys healthy, get some people back, but they're gonna have

691
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: to retool that defense. They have to retool a few

692
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: different ways because you also have to remember they let

693
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches go in the off season, so

694
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: this is a completely new bunch. So you have Adam

695
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Zimmer and Andre Patterson sharing the defensive coordinator title and

696
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: responsibilities with Mike Eximmer overseeing it, and then you brought

697
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: in a new guy. So it it takes a change

698
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: and continuity and chemistry to get everybody on the same page,

699
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: and also trying to play all these young players after

700
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: you lose Anthony Barr and some of the other guys.

701
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: It is really impacted the defense because this isn't the

702
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota defense that I'm used to see. So, I mean

703
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: you touched on. I don't know. I don't know how

704
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. I mean the Anthony Barr and

705
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks are locked up with big money deals for

706
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: another few years. I mean, maybe they can get out

707
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: of the Harrison Smith contract. I mean he's under he's

708
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: under contract for another year after this season, but I

709
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: think all the guaranteed money has been paid. Um. Anthony

710
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: Harris probably gone right playing on the franchise bag um.

711
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: But I mean they've committed some some real valuable resources

712
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: to the secondary here in the last couple of years.

713
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: You look at Mike hues of first rounder, Cam Danceler,

714
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: second Jeff glad To a first rounder. I mean, you

715
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta count on some development there at some

716
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: point too, right. Yeah, you're hoping those young guys are

717
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: gonna develop, but at some point in time gotta infuse

718
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: some some some new guys as well as you're going along.

719
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: It's not good enough right now. Let me just check

720
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: in real quick. Uh, does this mean that the Bears

721
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: might give a second look to Mitchell Trabinsky if he

722
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: goes to the playoffs. So so here's an interesting let

723
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: me give you an interesting thing here. Remember the Bears

724
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: did not pick up his fifth year option, correct, So

725
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: then also think about the fact that Allen Robinson is

726
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: a free agent. So if you want to franchise tag him,

727
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: then you're gonna let Allen Robinson walk out the door.

728
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: There in no man's land in the draft. They're picking

729
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen somewhere around there right now. You figure

730
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat Jacksonville this week. That picks not going

731
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: up higher, so they're kind of almost out of range

732
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: of draft. In a quarterback, Traubinsky has played well since

733
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: Bill Lazer took over the play calling. It is what

734
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: it is. I think you've got to give Bill Laser credit.

735
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: What it is. He's played winning football the last weeks

736
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: he's played that he's played winning football too. They would

737
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: have picked up his option. So to me, if you're

738
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: the Bears, this is an interesting thing. And as I

739
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of understand this as well, because of the franchise

740
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: tag and the salary cap um, you know, situation going forward,

741
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: I think that number can come down a little bit

742
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: to where maybe it was expected to be uh, you know,

743
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: twenty seven and a half, twenty eight. I think it

744
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: can be back back down to like twenty four and

745
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: a half, like twenty four. What are your what? Whom?

746
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: We always say it though, people always say I want

747
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: to move on? Who are you gonna get? Who are

748
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: you gonna get? And if he plays like this, if

749
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: they win their last couple of games and get into

750
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: the postseason, and and Bill Laser has been calling plays

751
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: and Rubisky has been playing well, then you're you're in

752
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 1: a you're in a tricky spot here. I would almost

753
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 1: I would be tempted. If if you're the Bears, buck

754
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: think about this. What if you went to Cherubinsky and said, Okay,

755
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: we want to we want to ride this out for

756
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: another year, but we also don't want to lose Allen Robinson.

757
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: And if you don't, if you don't franchise tag Allen Robinson,

758
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: he's gone because there's too many teams. They're looking for

759
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: weapons right now, he'd he'd get over twenty million a

760
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: year more than likely. So if you're the Bears, what

761
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: if you went to Drubisky and said, Okay, the franchise

762
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: numbers twenty four and a half, right, I'll give you

763
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: a one year contract, let's say a twenty guaranteed. Okay,

764
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: but with the incentives, or we can go beyond the

765
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: twenty four point five. You know you play well, now

766
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: this can get to eight. So there's you know, you

767
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: get lock in your twenty. But then you have a

768
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: chance to get beyond what you would sign if you

769
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: just signed the franchise number. Then you have your quarterback

770
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: for another year to look at, and you could franchise

771
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson so you wouldn't lose him. That there you go.

772
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: But then but then Mitchell Robinsky shows his true colors

773
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: the next year and you lose both him and Allen

774
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: Robinson the follow you idea, you gotta give me a

775
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: couple of years on that. So so you might have

776
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: to sign Mitchard your bisky to the Blake Bordles deal.

777
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: You may have to sign him to the three year

778
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: don't don't call it the Blake Borders deal. If you

779
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: wanted to get done, that's my but like, that's that's

780
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: what it's looking like. Because yeah, I almost say you

781
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: misplayed your hand. But when you sat him out and

782
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: then you put him back in, you now have hurt

783
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: yourself because all the level his ned goes back to

784
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: Mitchell because now he can be like, oh I don't

785
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: like him all of a sudden. They run the ball,

786
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: They're running the ball. They're playing better. They are they are. So,

787
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a weird spot that teams in a

788
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: weird spot, man, really weird spot. All right, I'll get

789
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: us the takeaway number nine here, and it's the Seahawks

790
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: surging into the playoffs. Carson picked up nine, giving a

791
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: ball off to Hide and he breaks three inside the

792
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: forty down of the thirty's on the run, twenty fift

793
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: Tenny's gonna go ahead touchdown Seahawks. Chris Carson loosened them

794
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: up and Carlos Hide makes them pay as Carlos takes

795
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: a touchdown in from fifty yards out and the Seahawks

796
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: extend their lead. Well, there's opening drive of the second half,

797
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: nineteen to three, Carlos Hide water run. How cool is that?

798
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if he's watching that game.

799
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: It's an eight K video resolution on some of those

800
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: replays and some of those celebrations on there. I mean

801
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: it it was like on my computer and I just

802
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Um so Look, I'll make this quick here.

803
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: I think this was an important win for the Seahawks.

804
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: Obviously important for them to get into the playoffs. Clinched

805
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: their playoff birth into now with the Rams, laws assumed

806
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: the top spot in the NFC West at least for

807
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: about six days until they come back and play the

808
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: Rams again this week. Um. But I thought it was

809
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: good from an offensive game plan standpoint, considering what they

810
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: might face once they do get into the playoffs. This

811
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: is a good defense with Washington. I mean, anyway you

812
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: want to cut it, that front is as good as

813
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: it gets, right. Um, they figured out how to run

814
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: the football against them one rushing yards and that feels

815
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: a little bit more Seattle like than what we kind

816
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: of saw the first six weeks of the season when

817
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: they were undefeated and throwing the ball all over the place.

818
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: We know they can do that, um, and now we

819
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: know that they can run the ball against a good defense.

820
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: So I think that this is helpful for them. Um,

821
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: this is helpful, helpful for them as they go into

822
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: the postseason. And obviously it was Uh, it was an

823
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: impactful win based on what it got him. So I

824
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: think I think all around this was this was a

825
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: nice week for Seattle. Yeah, I think it was. It

826
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: was a huge win. Just the way that they were

827
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: able to do it. The running game has to show

828
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: for them because the way they were playing earlier in

829
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: the year that wouldn't That wasn't a sustainable model, not

830
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: necessarily because Russell Wilson couldn't handle all that on his shoulders.

831
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: But you can't expose your defense to all of the

832
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: extra plays that kind of come along. We're playing that

833
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 1: fast break style that they were doing. Now you're seeing

834
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: the defense play a little better. Jamal Adams and Carlos

835
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 1: Dunlap have enhanced the past rush. You're seeing the running

836
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: game enable them to control the clock and they're able.

837
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: They're on the plus side of thirty uh minutes of

838
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: time possession, which is what they want to do. And

839
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: then you always have Russell Wilson in your back pocket

840
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: to kind of make things right. This is the way

841
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: the settlec Arts have to play. And you're right. I

842
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: think they are surging at the right time, and I

843
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: think right now is may be cleared. Maybe they're the

844
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: best team in the NFC West, and that's going to

845
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: give them a chance to get a good seat I

846
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: ask you guys this one before we get to the

847
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: final takeaway. I have been going to the tape this morning.

848
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: I haven't got to the this game yet, so I

849
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about someone I haven't seen. How

850
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: did Haskins look? Uh? I mean five times? Yeah? Like,

851
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean he started out slow, he got into a

852
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: rhythm or whatever. But like DJ, I just think this

853
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: is a failed marriage between like play caller and player.

854
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they really liked the players, so I

855
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: don't think they necessarily set it up. Uh. If you're

856
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: all the way invested in him to succeed, and so

857
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: for him to throw fifty five times when you know

858
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: you don't really trust him. To me, it just doesn't

859
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,959
Speaker 1: make any sense. Like, I don't know why they didn't

860
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: run the ball more interesting? Yeah, I mean they got

861
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: down early, but fifty five times it doesn't seem to

862
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: be a recipe for success in this one. And he

863
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: had a couple of big drives late. But at that

864
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: point I think it was it was it was already over.

865
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Why these thoughts in my mind? Before Bucky you get

866
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: to your last takeaway, I do want to wait. We

867
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: do know that what happened with Carolina with Marty Hernie

868
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: and they've made a change in the GM position. We'll

869
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: hit that on the pod tomorrow, so that'll be something

870
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: that we'll have to discus us. So don't want you

871
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: guys to think we're leaving leaving that one out here.

872
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: What do you got here, Bucky? For number ten, Baker

873
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: Mayfield is on a roll. Mayfield in the shotgut Baker

874
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: waits second down in goal. Now they moved people's showing motion.

875
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: Mayfield play action, fake drips, back drips, back pros and

876
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: so got Landry's got it, and he's got it for

877
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: hey touchdown, the problems going. Had thirteen to three with

878
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: twenty one seconds left to go. You know, the Cleveland

879
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: Browns are an interesting team. This is the game that

880
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: they were supposed to win. Uh, they were favored to

881
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: be the giants, and they took care of business. I

882
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: think the thing that really stood out is how good

883
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was. This is a giant team that we're

884
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: seeing give some quarterbacks problems with the way that they played,

885
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: and he was good. He was accurately. He's invisive twenty

886
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: seven and thirty two ninety seven yards to touchdowns and

887
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: I think the confidence. The more that he plays in

888
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Stevanski's system, the better we're seeing him perform. And

889
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: the Browns are a very very difficult team to defend

890
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: because they're running the football. You have to deal with

891
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: the two headed Mosster and Chubb and Hunt and then

892
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield being able to throw effectively, it works.

893
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: This is a team that systematic more than anything, but

894
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: it really really works with him. Yeah, I went back

895
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: and watched uh Baker and this one, and it was

896
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: he was protected, it was clean, it was on time.

897
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: It was just easy. He just made it look really

898
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: really easy when he was back at Oklahoma back there.

899
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: Um and and the other thing is for anybody that

900
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: ever you know, has any doubts or issues with Baker

901
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: may mayfield skill, but he man the velocity. It jumped

902
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: out of his hand when you watch that tape, and

903
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: that's not easy place to throw. Well, he he certainly

904
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: winds up for it, that's for sure. I like he

905
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: he puts them. He puts them off on that thing.

906
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean throw it did some torque on that shoulder,

907
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: but it does come out for sure. Look, I just

908
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: thought the bounce back was big, you know, after like

909
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: a really tough loss on Monday night, a little bit

910
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: of a short week coming back on Sunday night, and um,

911
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: good teams figure out how to put that behind him

912
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: quickly and win against the team you should beat. And

913
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: they did that against some good defense too, right, Um.

914
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: And you know in doing so, all of the a

915
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: f C wild card teams hold serve here this week,

916
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: which makes, uh, makes our jobs a lot more fun

917
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: here over the course of the next two weeks as

918
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: they try to try to figure out who's gonna make

919
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,319
