1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks. Ten takeaways from Week four 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks and htt Lewis. What's up everybody? 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to Move the Six presented by Zaxby's DJ, Bucky 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: and Rhett Back with you, guys. Look, it was a 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: fun weekend here. We didn't know what this weekend was 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: gonna look like, Buck with all the talk about the 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: positive tests. We ended up having one game delayed and 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: one game postponed, but it ended up being a pretty 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: entertaining week of football. Yeah, very entertaining week of football. 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: And we continue to see teams began to find their 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: identity and kind of stick to that. And I think 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: we're getting into a stretch. We're gonna see some really 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: good football over the next four weeks. Yeah, basically at 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: the quarter pole of the season here. And I feel 15 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: like every week I have started out by thinking and 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: most of the time saying that we are breaking records 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: for scoring in the NFL. That continues has been the 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: highest scoring first four weeks of an NFL season in 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era continues. We're seeing team score thirty 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: points at an absolute record pace. Certainly saw that in 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: that Brown's Cowboys game, which I know we'll get to 22 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: here shortly, but it's been fun. It's been fun to 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: watch the scoreboard light up. All right, let's go. First 24 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: takeaway here Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. He's dealing Boa. 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: Wait a second, Wait a second, for the first time 26 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: this season. I can't believe it. Pull out your bingo cards. 27 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: We've got DJ using a quarterback is dealing as his 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: tagline for the first time. I cannot believe that it's 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: taken until week four for this to happen. I mean, 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: like we even saw this before we heard him used 31 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: Dalvin was cooking, which is six different times. I don't 32 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: know how many more times we're gonna hear that a 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: quarterback was dealing. But man, I'm ready to deal lot 34 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: some straight flushes. Let's go, baby, what do you got DJ? Look, 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: he's dealing, he's dealing. I mean, there's multiple quarterbacks gonna 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: be dealing all throughout the season, and you know what 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: Rhett deal with it with? Can I roll my? Can 38 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I roll my? Please? Can I please roll my my? 39 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: Take it here? Please? The stamp. John's gonna throw it off, 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: play action fires it towards the end, zos he is 41 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: out of bounds at the half yard line. What a 42 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: great catch. The best part about doing these shows is 43 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't know some things that I say. Um, you know, 44 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: you have the voice activation on your on your computer, 45 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: and it's so they think I'm asking them a question. 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: I'm not asking you a question. I'm just trying to 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: talk with Rehet and Bucky here. Okay, computer, leave me alone. 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: But look, when you watch the Buffalo Bills in this game, Um, 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: it was fun to watch. I put a little a 50 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: little vignettea plays Buck on Twitter because they're just missiles 51 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: from Josh Allen back there in the pocket. And it 52 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: got me thinking from a scouting standpoint. Sometimes we can 53 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: talk about what a guy doesn't have, and that's that's 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: that's the wrong way to scout. But when you talk 55 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: about Josh Allen, you talk about the size, the athleticism, 56 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: in the arm strength, right. Um, now you start looking 57 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: at the intelligence in the work ethic. When you have 58 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: all five of those things there, you know his accuracy 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: wasn't great, had some footwork things he needed to clean up. 60 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: He's found a way to get that done. I mean 61 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: the improvements he's made year to year and especially the 62 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: leap he's taken this year has been it's been outstanding, 63 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: and it's kind of changed my thought process. And we'll 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: get to Justin Herbert a little bit later on the show. 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: But some of these big, strong, tough athletics, smart guys, 66 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: they figured it out. Yeah, DJ is funny you talk 67 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: about that, because I do believe Josh Allen and even 68 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: later Lamar Jackson, they have changed the way that we 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: look at quarterbacks. For so long, it was about nit 70 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: picking and talking about what quarterbacks can't do when they're 71 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: entering into the league. But now it's all about they 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: can do, what can they do, what can they bring 73 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: to the table, and hopefully you compare them with an 74 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who can really build an offense around their strengths, 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: because we're seeing with Josh Allen and Buffalo when they 76 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: built this offense around the things that he does really well. Man, 77 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: they have gone from good to great and this is 78 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: a team that is really a legitimate Super Bowl contender 79 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, and guys Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs 80 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: and the sink that they are in right now are 81 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: disproving any theories out there about the COVID nineteen era 82 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: of training camp and no preseason causing problems for chemistry 83 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: with any quarterbacks and any wide receivers. I mean, these 84 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: two guys hadn't linked up on a field for real 85 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: until Week one. Uh So the fact that they are 86 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: completing passes right now to catch percentage for Stefon Diggs 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: really impressive. And I don't remember This is no disrespect 88 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: to Stefon Diggs, but I don't remember him going up 89 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: and making these huge contested catches at this rate like 90 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: we saw on Sunday going up over the top on 91 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: a deep ball to pull one down for Josh Allen. 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: And then it's kind of like a symptom of what 93 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: the Bills receiving core has been about this season. And 94 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: we saw him all in this game. Colt Beasley with 95 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: a huge, high degree of difficulty catch at the goal line, 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: same for John Brown, even Gabriel Davis, the rookie is 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: in there. I mean, these guys are are elevating their 98 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: level of play, And if you want to talk about 99 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen in that respect, he's a truck right now. 100 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: He's bringing everybody with him and I think that's really 101 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: cool to watch. This kind of builds offense kind of 102 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: come together, the trust and the talent DJ that you 103 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: had talked about last week as well. Yeah, we're seeing 104 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: those things come together. It's been fun to watch and 105 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: what they're doing Raiders. On the other side of things, 106 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: they've got to find a pass rush. Is Max Crosby 107 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: alone right now? They've got to find a way to 108 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: generate some heat on the quarterback. All right, Buck, what's 109 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: your what's your first takeaway? Here? The Browns run over 110 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: at the Cowboys. Here's Mayfield on a reverse. They're gonna 111 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: give it to back up. He's rolling to the right 112 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: and running. He's up to the fifty, to the forty 113 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: five to the forty thirty five thirty There he goes 114 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: to the twenty five touch on O b J. He's 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: had a hat trick O doo back up Junior fifty 116 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: yards on the run. The Cleveland Browns already scary team 117 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: to watch and prepare for because they're running game is 118 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: one of the best that I've seen. They're able to 119 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: do it in a variety of different ways. Without their 120 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: top Russian nick Job, who went out the game early 121 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: with an injury, they were able to put up three 122 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: and seven rushing yards on forty attempts, and what was 123 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: so beautiful to watch about the way they did it. 124 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: They did it with an assortment of power runs inside 125 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: and outside, deceptive runs, reverses in the rounds uh any 126 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: and everybody touching the ball, and it really set the 127 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: table for Baker Mayfield to still have a solid day 128 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: passing the ball because the Cleveland Browns had really stepped 129 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: into this identity of being a ground and pale team. 130 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: They are one of the teams that no one wants 131 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: to face because they're going to hit you and hit 132 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: her in the mouth. And I don't know how many 133 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: defenses came with stand the power and the ferocity of 134 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: this rushing attack. I mean, Bucky, it was unreal. And 135 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: think about the fact that Nick chug got injured, it 136 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: was out for the game early against the Cowboys. I mean, 137 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: think about what this total might have been if he'd 138 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: have stayed in the game. Yes, Kareem Hunt came in 139 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: and put up near a hundred yards. He had the 140 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: contribution from Odell Beckham Jr. But just to put the 141 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: three hundred rushing yards in perspective, so far this season 142 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: through four weeks, there have been twenty four teams with 143 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: under the three hundred total yards in games this season 144 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: like that, that is an unreal amount of rushing production 145 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns most of the Cowboys have allowed. 146 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: And which brings me to that defense. And you know, DJ, 147 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: I think you've seen a lot out there on social 148 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: media and in the media in general about the coaching 149 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys on defense and whether you know, Mike 150 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: nolan scheme is too difficult, and whether it's just not 151 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: working it's not a fit for some of these players, 152 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: you know. And I look, I turned on you know, 153 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: I turned this game on and went back and looked 154 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: at a couple of the plays, including the Odell Beckham 155 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: run at the end, And the one thing I had 156 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: a coach tell me is you never want to see 157 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: change in speed, right. You never want to see guys 158 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: that are giving and then have to take it up 159 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a notch when they see that somebody else is not 160 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: going to make the tackle. It's not all about effort, 161 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: it's also about expectation that someone else is going to 162 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: get the job done. And so I don't have to 163 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: go full speed at this point. Um. Look, it's hard 164 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: to question people's effort, you know, especially in this league. 165 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: But man, it just I saw a lot of that 166 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: change in speed on a couple of those big plays, 167 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: including the one that eventually sealed the deal. Well, I 168 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: want to get the Bucky again on this because Buck 169 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: is is doing some work with the Cowboys and and 170 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: really following this team closely. So Buck, when I went 171 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: back and watch the tape defensively right was talking about 172 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: the scheme. I came away looking at it as more 173 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: of an effort issue and a talent issue. And I 174 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: give you some specific examples on on the reverse to 175 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, not the one he scores on, but Alton Smith. 176 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: He gets reached by the tight end he sees it, 177 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: he gets reached, he doesn't even try and fight through it. 178 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: He allows, He allows the run to get outside of him. 179 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: He doesn't force it back in. It was terrible effort 180 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: on his part on the back side of the run. 181 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. I tweeted it out because I'm like, is 182 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: he injured? What is wrong with him? Because one thing 183 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: he's always been able to do is run, and he's 184 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: there's no effort from him on the back side to pursue. 185 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he's hurt if he's just 186 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: exhausted or what his deal is. But it was awful. Uh, 187 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: there's another run they popped. It was an explosive run 188 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: of twenty plush yards there in the short side of 189 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: the field. A corner cat at from the short side 190 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: of the field. He's unblocked, you're untouched. That should be 191 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: a tackle for loss. He runs right by the running 192 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: back on the way to Baker Mayfield. I'm just like, 193 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: just open your eyes, be a football player. There's other 194 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: plays where you see Jordan Lewis gets flat backed. He 195 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: he ends up falling back into the safety. He's on 196 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: the ground. The defensive tackling pursuits on the ground. They 197 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: got four or five guys on the ground while you're 198 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: seeing an explosive run pop And I'm sitting here. Look, 199 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a Mike Nolan apologist. I'm sure 200 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: there's some schematic things they can do differently, but man, 201 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: this was a talent and effort thing. When I watched 202 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: the tape, it was it was gross. You know, it's 203 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: funny that you bring that up, DJ, because I was 204 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: wondering if I was alone and seeing that, right, and 205 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: I know that um Cowboys Nation had a tough time 206 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: with Rob mary Nellie and Chris Rohy Shard. They didn't 207 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: like the simple scheme. But the one thing that I 208 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: can tell you and that there was a demand and 209 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: a standard of hustle, effort, discipline and accountability when it 210 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: came to that defense. And I'm not seeing that. And 211 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys pointed out those examples because when 212 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: I watched Odell Beckham doing your on the game cleansing reverse, 213 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: the effort that was displayed by guys on the backside 214 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: was unacceptable. You wouldn't accept it in youth ball. And 215 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're being able to watch the 216 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: take today in Dallas and not chew on those defenders 217 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: for not giving maximum effort. Their lack of effort overwhelms 218 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: and even it surpasses their lack of execution. This is 219 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't play really hard. They will continue 220 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: to lose. YEP. I mean, I don't know how to 221 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: say it any other way. Buck, I think that's that's perfect, 222 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: all right, right, what's your what's your takeaway? Here? Take 223 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: away number three, Joe Burrow's first win as Approse showcases 224 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals core future. Burrow will line up in the shotgun, 225 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: even though it's third and less than a yard, He'll 226 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: hand it to Mixing, the first thing to the five 227 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: touchdown show Mixing and the Bengals hit third of the day. Yeah. Look, 228 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Joe Burrow and the fact that 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: he's the first rookie with three plus passing yards and 230 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: three straight games since nineteen fifty. And they get their 231 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: first win this week, a big one over the Jaguars. 232 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: They do it at home. But this game was really 233 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: about Joe Mixon and about how Zach Taylor finally figured 234 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: out how to get him some real production. I mean, 235 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: I gets first three touchdown game of his career. They're 236 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: starting to figure that out. But you know, I think 237 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: that's where this offense needs to focus moving forward. But 238 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: the fact that you also have a terrific connection brewing 239 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: between Burrow and the rookie white out Tee Higgins, first 240 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: pick of the second round, and also the young white 241 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: out Tyler Boyd, who they paid and deservedly. So that 242 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: young nucleus right there, Burrow mixing, Higgins and Boyd, it's 243 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: gonna really make our old pal. Ryan Junts, our producer 244 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: who's no longer with us here at the NFL that 245 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: we're really proud to be a Bengals fan. Happy for you, young, 246 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: because you guys have some stuff to be really excited 247 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: about now. Just you know, go fix the offensive one. 248 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at this team and you 249 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: look at Joe Burrow, he is as cool as a 250 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: cucumber in the pocket. The way that he plays, the 251 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: way to performs, the leadership has been outstanding and read 252 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: you bring up a good point about the chemistry and 253 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: the connectivity that he has with Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. 254 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: Those two guys are their best two receivers. A j 255 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: Green is the cell of himself. And as they continue 256 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: develop with those two on the outside and Joe Mixing 257 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: being the workhorse in the backfield, I do believe there 258 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: should be a lot of optimism for what is going 259 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: on in Cincinnati. Yeah, it was fun to watch it 260 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: because they went empty eleven times when I went back 261 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: and charted it, which is something that Joe Burrow is 262 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: very comfortable with. Had some very efficient plays out of empty. 263 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: But the other thing, and I'll get back to you 264 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: on this, Bucky, is that I thought Zack Tiller did 265 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: a beautiful job of game planning, and what they're able 266 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: to find is they were able to hit overs and 267 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: not the deep over, kind of those middle over routes 268 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: on the other side of the numbers from the far side, 269 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: and he hit it over and over and over again, 270 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: no pun intended, but the safety was at fifteen and 271 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: so they were just getting that. They were getting that 272 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: easy throw. And it's even even in manner zone. They're 273 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: able to get those nice easy overthrows and Burrow just 274 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: found a rhythm with those. They did it with tight ends, 275 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: they did it with with void, they did it with 276 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: t Higgins. Uh, they did with two tight ends. Actually 277 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: with a sample did it as well. So uh, they 278 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: did a nice job of really kind of finding avoiding 279 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: that defense, and they just attacked it from a lot 280 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: of different looks. You know, what you're beginning to see 281 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: DJ is a mix of what Joe Burrow did at 282 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: l s U, which is what you pointed out with 283 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: the empty formations, and what Zach Taylor wants to involve 284 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: this offense too, which is what he came from in 285 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: l A with Sean McVeigh, the deep over routes, the 286 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: max protection two and three man routes with these deep 287 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: crossers and post routes, those are the explosive plays off 288 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: play action. And so it is slowly but surely beginning 289 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: to come together. Zach Taylor should be encouraged by his 290 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: young quarterback, and Cincinnati Bengals fans should be able to 291 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: imagine what this offense is going to look like in 292 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: a year or two. Hey, let me ask you real 293 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: quick before we move on here, d J. C J. Greener, 294 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal at the trade deadline this year. Well, I 295 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: don't think they'll get any informed. I don't think you're 296 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: gonna see a line. It's coming to that end right 297 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: right now. He just can't he can't run. I mean 298 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: and almost when you're watching them on offense. I just 299 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: want to let's get more balls to these other players 300 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: with Boyd what he can do. We know what he is. 301 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins, as you mentioned, just continue to grow and evolve. Um, 302 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: they've got a couple of good tight ends. So Joe Mixing, Yeah, 303 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: sample did a nice job. And there was another Titan Jones. 304 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: I want to say, who made a couple of plays 305 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: um as well. So look, they've got other weapons. He's Look, 306 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be back next year for sure. I'm 307 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: sure you try and trade him at the trade deadline. 308 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna be able to get much 309 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: for him. Um, all right, let's keep it moving here. 310 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: Let's stay on the quarterback theme here. Brady and Herbert, 311 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: they were outstanding. Herbert stands tall, pushes downfield, has a 312 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: receiver caught still on his feet. Jay Lynn guiton ten 313 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: five touchdown Chargers poise under pressure. Justin Herbert does it again. Well, 314 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned that. You mentioned that a little bit earlier 315 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: re talking about Burrow and saying he's the first quarterback 316 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: to go three straight three hundred yard games. Would you 317 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: when you look at this game, Justin Herbert short and 318 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: he would have done the exact same thing. So he's 319 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: been outstanding in his three starts. I'll start with him. Um, 320 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: the degree of difficulty on some of these plays, eluding 321 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: the free rusher, uh, making big time stick throws the 322 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: deep ball on the fifty three yard touchdown right here 323 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: is one of the best that you'll ever see. This 324 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: is this is sixty two yards in the air and 325 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: he's fading away and it's just right on the money. 326 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he was outstanding and he's playing with no fear. 327 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: I wanted him to be a little more aggressive when 328 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: he was at Oregon. He's he's gotten more aggressive at 329 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: what we've seen here with the Chargers. So again, going 330 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: back to josh Allen, big, strong, tough, smart, You're gonna 331 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: see those guys kind of figure things out athletic as well. Um, 332 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: you could not be more impressed with Justin Herbert. He'd 333 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: like to have one, you know, the throw at the 334 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: end of the game, the interception, like to have that 335 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: one back. You're gonna have to live with some of 336 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: those plays. And then you flip it over to Tom 337 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: Brady and uh, look, this team was dead. There was 338 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: seven right before the half. Chargers have the ball forty 339 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: seconds left. I thought they probably just take a couple 340 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: of knees and get out of there. They had one 341 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: time out left for flocks, and don't they decided to 342 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: run the ball and it's a kind of a goofy exchange, 343 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: a little bit high on the handoff to Joshua Kelly. 344 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: He puts it on the ground and dom qin Sue 345 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: was right in his face. Turnover and then you just 346 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: saw Brady flip the switch, and from that point on 347 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: he was a fire. I mean, he didn't make mistakes 348 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: and they were efficient, and then when there were opportunities 349 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: down the field, he attacked. So tom Brady gotten better 350 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: every week ret and I would say that was by 351 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: far his best performance. You can't play better, and he 352 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: did in the second half of that game. No, I 353 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: would say like it was. It was a great performance 354 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: by both quarterbacks. I think the Tom Brady think is 355 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: really interesting because he had another pick six um and 356 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: you begin to wonder, like, man, can tom Brady figured 357 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: this thing out? But then you're right, DJ, A veteran 358 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: quarterback can seize the momentum of the game, and the 359 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: charges gifted them an easy scoring opportunity. And once tom 360 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: Brady saw the ball going to basket, he got hot. 361 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: And so I think that is the part of the 362 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers that is scary. Tom Brady is just 363 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: good enough that if you give him some crumbs, he 364 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: certainly can make a meal out of it. Any did 365 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: it against Yeah, Look, his passer rating has gone up 366 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: every week that he's been a buck. Their total yards 367 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: as an offense has gone up every single week. Uh 368 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: this season so I think you're starting to see some 369 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: consistent improvement here, and we started to see the vertical 370 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: pass game, I think more so this game than we 371 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: have all season long. So you start to wonder if 372 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: they're really starting to feel a little bit more comfortable. 373 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: And that Bruce arians themed offense, I know Byron left 374 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: which has done a terrific job kind of pushing the 375 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: buttons a call in the plays there um and Brady's 376 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: five touchdowns of five different receivers in this game. Believe 377 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: that's the first time in his career that he's thrown 378 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: that many to that many different guys in a game. 379 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: One of them O J. Howard. Tough news there, ruptured Achilles. 380 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: He's likely out four ears out for the season with 381 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: that injury. So uh, good news though, is that you 382 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: got Cam Brak into the end zone, so he's still 383 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: got great and Rob Gronkowski to work in the middle 384 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: of the field. Uh at the tight end spot. I 385 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: thought was also interesting in this game. We we talked 386 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: about it on our after after mass production meeting call earlier. 387 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: The Chargers were touchdowns in this game were scored by 388 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: undrafted free agents, and you know, actually I thought it 389 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: was interesting that's not the first time that's happened. It 390 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: is the first time it's happened since two thousand and eighteen. 391 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: And I got a little tin takeaway trivia here for you. 392 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: The Saints were the last team to have four touchdowns 393 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: scored by undrafted free agents in the same game. It 394 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: did it two thousand eighteen, Week twelve against the Falcons. 395 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: Can you guys name one of the four Just give 396 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: me one of the four Saints for the undrafted in 397 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: what year was this? This was two thousand eighteen, two 398 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: years ago? Um, okay, two years ago? Was Cadet one 399 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: of them? That's a good that's a good thought. He wasn't. Uh. 400 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: One was a tight end, one was a tight end, 401 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: and three were receivers. I'm out o receivers. Yeah, believe 402 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: it was Sneap. Sneap was sneat? Undrafted? Was Willie's name? 403 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: He didn't score. It wasn't him another really good yes, 404 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: though I think he was. He was. He wasn't on 405 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 1: the stat so I'll get it to him. Tommy Lee 406 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: Lewis Okay, one for one hundred, Dan Arnold that tight 407 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: end for two hundred. Keith Kirkwood, the receiver for three 408 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: and Austin Carr Austin Car. That would have been the one. 409 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: I should have known. I could have had a shot 410 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: at Austin Car. The other ones. No, Look, I love 411 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: I love a little trip, all right, Buck? What's give 412 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: me five here? Buck? What's fifth? Takeaway? Lamar Jackson and 413 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens get back on track. Jackson will keep it 414 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: on the read option. He's got a whole forty like 415 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: range thirty. He's gonna go twenty ten five Lamar Jackson 416 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: touchdown Alrven. You know, with the Baltimore Ravens, I think 417 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: it's really simple. They just need to know who they 418 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: are and always stick to that identity. In this game 419 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: against Washington, they got back to just pounding the football, 420 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: running the read option, doing the things that makes Lamar 421 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: Jackson very comfortable. This offense wasn't spectacular. They viewed away 422 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: from trying to be cute and they just went to 423 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: old smash mouth football and as long as they kind 424 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: of day in that lane. This is a team that 425 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: is very, very difficult. To be sure. We make a 426 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: lot of it about when they match up with the 427 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: kan City Chiefs, but I guess everybody else they don't 428 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: have a problem. I think they just need to focus 429 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: on what they do and what they do well. The 430 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: wins will continue to come and we'll see how they 431 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: get it done in the playoffs. But I like them 432 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: getting back on track. Yeah, I felt like they're back 433 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: on track. I still don't think like we're even close 434 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: to where they will be at some point this season 435 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: once they start firing on all cylinders. For Washington, though, 436 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: I continue to be impressed by Antonio Gibson. I mean, 437 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: he's an exciting player. I thought the game plan from 438 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: Scott Turner was really good. Get the ball out of 439 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: haskins hands quick and get him out of those quick throws, 440 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: quick screens, get them off insive line that out in 441 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: front of Gibson, let him do work with the ball 442 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: in his hands, and try to counteract some of the 443 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: blitz game from the Ravens and some of the pressure 444 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: that their front can put on you. Gibson's eighty one 445 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: yards after the catch in this game a second most 446 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: we saw this week. Ezekiel Elliott only player who had 447 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: more run after the catch, which also, by the way, 448 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: says some think about Zeke's usage in the Cowboys offense, 449 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: but look Gibson was a player with the ball in 450 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: his hands at Memphis, and we're seeing it now, not 451 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: just in the backfield. Um, you know, even though he 452 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: did he was basically the only production that Washington had 453 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: on a single touchdown drive. He's he's become their offense 454 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: in the backfield. And it's not just there too, They're 455 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: getting him out on the perimeter. It's been fun to watch. Well, 456 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: that's a little more excited about the Washington football team 457 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: than I am. So I'm not gonna add on to 458 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: that because I'm gonna be nice here. I want to 459 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: be encouraging to the that fan base and feel good 460 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: about what you got there and the very rugged, tough 461 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: NFC East. All right, let's get back to the takeaways here. 462 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: Number six for me, we saw a Saint sational twenty 463 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes stretch in Detroit. He is gonna drop 464 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: back and look the throat he delivers partside has a 465 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: man cut touchdown tray Kuan Smith. The Saints offense is 466 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: making it look easy. Tray Kuan Smith from twenty yards 467 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: out and the safe with twenty eight unanswered points here 468 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: in the first half. Unbelievable, uh into the first half 469 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: for the Saints. I want to ask you guys this, 470 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: Like Mike Arrigo mentioned it in one of his recaps 471 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: last night. Uh, the Saints allowed the first fourteen points 472 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: of this game and they also allowed the final fifteen 473 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: points of the game. Does that sound like a recipe 474 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: for success to you? Well, it does. When you have 475 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: a thirty five point stretch in twenty five plus twenty 476 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: six minutes in the second in third quarters, absolutely unprecedented. 477 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: Right there, they go five straight touchdowns on five straight 478 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: possessions tail into the first quarter, first part of the 479 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: third quarter. I mean, they were on fire and that 480 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: look that says something about their offense, right that they're 481 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: finding ways to do a trick Kwan Smith and a 482 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: pair of touchdowns as he fills in admirably for Michael Thomas. 483 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders had his best game it felt like as 484 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: a Saint. And they also got some contributions in the 485 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: ground game as well. But I mean the fact that 486 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: their defense was also able to get five straight stops 487 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: there to get it back to Drew reacent company to 488 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: have them keep it rolling was terrific. And then of 489 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: course another double digit lead blown by the Lions. Man 490 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: they just cannot quite hang on there, although they made 491 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: a valiant effort at the end to make it come 492 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: back here and it look it's great to start out hot, 493 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: but they gotta figure something out. But for the Saints, 494 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: that felt like a little bit of a get right 495 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: for him. Yeah. Right, the Saints did get right. And 496 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton understands depressions. That's that's on him 497 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: to make sure that he always put Drew Brees in 498 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: the right situation. The Detroit lines that made it a 499 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: little easier for him. They played a little more zone 500 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: open windows. Drew did a great job of getting the 501 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: ball in the hands of the playmakers. But this is 502 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: a ball control Saints team, and it's one that it's explosive, 503 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: but it's explosive because of the efficiency, meaning they get 504 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: the ball into the hands of the playmakers. Those guys 505 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: have a little wiggle and bursts. They make things happen. 506 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: And as long as they're able to play that way, 507 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: this Saints team is as dangerous as any team in football. Yeah. 508 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: And the Lions, man, just they have no idea as 509 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: a team, Like, I don't know what they are. They 510 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: have physical team, are they an explosive team, there's just 511 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: you have nothing to hang your hat on. They can't 512 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: find a way to win games. And I look forward 513 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: to the future and you look at it and say, Okay, 514 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: how do you create an identity and what do you do? 515 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: And I almost wonder if there it ends up being 516 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: changes there in Detroit, if it's you know, kind of 517 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: turned the whole page on that era. If you would 518 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: trade Matt Stafford, if you're gonna be picking up there 519 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: in the top three or four and you get a 520 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: chance to get a young quarterback to start completely fresh, 521 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: and which leads to then the next question, and Bucky, 522 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: I'll hitch up on this, but um, you look at 523 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: some of the older quarterbacks in the league, like if 524 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger decided after this year he didn't want to 525 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: keep going, Drew Brees, who they just played against there 526 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: with the Saints, if he moves on. I mean, you 527 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: look at Matt Stafford, and for the lack of winning 528 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: they've had there, he's still as gifted a thrower as 529 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: there is, And I wonder I would almost like to 530 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: see him for the last part of his career to 531 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to be on a team like a 532 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh be on a team like the Saints and see 533 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: what he could do. It could be something where everybody 534 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: kind of gets a fresh start. Yeah, I mean, I 535 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: think the toughest thing with the Detroit lines is this 536 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: is a team that is just down trotten. They haven't 537 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: been able to figure it out on the Mad Patricia 538 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: And this is year three of the Mad Patricia era. 539 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: And he can talk about having to do so much 540 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: work based on what he inherited, but this was a 541 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: team that have won three out of four times under 542 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: Jim Calba, meaning three winning seasons out of the four 543 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: years they called where it was there and they have 544 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: just fallen off a cliff. And I think the thing 545 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: that is disturbing the Lions have no problem getting leads, 546 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: but they can't hold onto leads. So there's something that 547 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: is going on with them that they just don't know 548 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: how to win. And that goes back to the coach. 549 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: Ma Patricia has to figure this out and figure it 550 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: out quickly. Yeah, I mean, it's a it's a mess 551 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: on there in Detroit right now. Alright, I'll get to 552 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: my next one here. This was a Sunday night game. 553 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: The Eagles defensive line like Janet Jackson, they were in control. 554 00:25:53,400 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: Look he's gone, he wrote, ning along that defensive front 555 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: and Ridgeway came over from the Colts last year with 556 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: the shack and the time out has taken here, all right, 557 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: Well look at this defensive line here for the Philadelphia Eagles. 558 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: They had They had five sacks as a defense. Four 559 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: came from the defensive line. And I thought, Rhett, we 560 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: were talking about this late in the day, um or 561 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: actually I think we might have been talking about this morning, 562 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: just how this defensive front, especially at the end of 563 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: the game, it took over the game. Uh, they were 564 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: able to heat up. They got after Mike McGlinchey, that 565 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: offensive line, Trent Williams, and it was a collection of 566 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: guys between sweat. Ridgeway got there and was getting pressure 567 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: Genard Avery who they traded for, Brandon Graham, all those 568 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: guys generating a lot of heat against the very physical front. 569 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: And I thought against the backs of of the forty niners, 570 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: all their runs came from the receivers. Their explosive plays 571 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: came on getting ayuked the ball. I think you also 572 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: had Deebo Samuel had to run. I think Kitto had 573 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: a run. But the running backs. They really kept them 574 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: in check. I think they gave up sixty yards against 575 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: the running backs in this game, so uh to me, 576 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: I thought their front played very well. Yeah when I 577 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: when I looked at the Eagles, I thought they played 578 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,959 Speaker 1: a very solid game. And I think this is a 579 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: different style from the Eagles that were not accustomed to seeing. 580 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: But this is the way that they have to play, 581 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: particularly with no weapons on offense. It has to be 582 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: about the defense keeping the score down, the offense taking 583 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: advantage of opportunities when they get it, and it does 584 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: require Doug Peterson to do a little gambling. They went 585 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: for the two point conversion early to jump up eight oh, 586 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: put the forty nine on the pressure, and they were 587 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: able to keep that pressure on the Niners. And so 588 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: this isn't pretty, But I think Philadelphia has to get 589 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: used to seeing this team play like this because they're 590 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: going to have to play like Rocky ball Boy. It 591 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: won't be a pretty effort from the Eagles going forward. 592 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: That's an interesting analogy, and DJ, I know you've got 593 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: another one that you're gonna lay out for us on 594 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: the aftermath today three o'clock Eastern time, depending on when 595 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: you are consuming this show. You should check that out 596 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: as well, and triple to meet it out for you. Um, 597 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: but you know, look, Carson's had a ton of criticism 598 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: over the course of the first three plus weeks of 599 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: this season, and rightly so. Look, he just has not 600 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: been right. And I think a lot of people want to, 601 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, talk about Um that throw that that wobbler 602 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: up the sideline. Uh. To me and in DJ we 603 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: talked about this this morning as well. But that angle 604 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: route throw two Miles Sanders and bounced off his shin. 605 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: That was the worst throw of the game to me. 606 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: But still despite some misfires, he found a way to 607 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: get his team of victory. He had some some gutty, 608 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: some gritty runs in that game in this game that 609 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: produced first downs. Um, he found a way to make 610 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: it work. And you called it right as well. Mike 611 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: McGlinchey got torched on that final drive for the forty Niners. 612 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: As you thought, all right, maybe you know, maybe C. J. 613 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: Bethard's gonna come in here and give the Niners a 614 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: shot to win this thing. That that pass rush virtually ended, Um, 615 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: the forty Niners hopes on that final drive. And then 616 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: I just like back on the Eagles front. I can't 617 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: believe we're saying here talking about these receivers again as 618 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: no name guys, and and I don't want to disrespect them, 619 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: because you know they are. They're obviously here, They've earned 620 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: their opportunities. And how about Travis Fuldam taking advantage of 621 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity Carson Wentz saying they only he and Foldham 622 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: reped that play once in practice this week, that long 623 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: touchdown grab that was such a key, a key play 624 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: for the Eagles in this victory, and they connect up 625 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: on it. I mean, that's that's what it takes. When 626 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: you're a guy that's not getting that many reps, you've 627 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you take advantage of them, right, And 628 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: I thought that was really cool and good news. Uh, 629 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, d J. Buckey, you'll be glad to know that. 630 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: Perhaps next week we're gonna see the return of Quez 631 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: Watkins to the Eagles Conference USA Zone, the Pride of 632 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: Southern miss Quiz Watkins second fastest forty at the combine. 633 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna turn all this wide receiver trouble around. Yeah, 634 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles are also they're missing Dallas God or they're 635 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: missing their first round pick Jalen Reagor. They're missing all 636 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: Seon Jeffrey, they're missing to Sean Jackson. But don't worry, 637 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: Eagles fan is because Quaz Watkins is coming back and 638 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: all of your problems they're gonna be solved. Uh yeah, Look, 639 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't give away the whole analogy, but just a 640 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: little taste of that analogy, Buck as we get to 641 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: your next takeaway. My point on Carson was it's like, 642 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: it's like a shooter who's having a isn't a little 643 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: bit of a slump. So what do they do. You 644 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: find a way to play great defense. You find a 645 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: way to get rebounds, you get steals. You just find 646 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: other ways to help your team win. And Carson is 647 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: in a little bit of a rut right now. Um, 648 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: he's lost a little bit of his mojo as a pastor, 649 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: he's lost a little confidence. He had some mechanical things 650 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: that need to get fixed. But in the meantime, he's 651 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: finding other ways to help his team win. Yeah, and 652 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: that's exactly what he needs to do. He needs to 653 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: embrace that athleticism and physicality part of his game. Once 654 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: he gets that going, I think to rest everywhere, fall 655 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: into place, all right, what's the next takeaway? Buck? The 656 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: Seahawks chalk up another one, a four man rush. Russ 657 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: looks right side, got a man in the ends, one 658 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: reaching up making me catch David Moore? Is he in 659 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: for the touchdown? He is David Moore and the Seahawks 660 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: puts saw on the board. The Seattle Seahawks are off 661 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: to a four and oh start, the first time they've 662 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: been four and oh since the last time they won 663 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. And I think the interesting part about 664 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: watching the Seahawks now compared to that old team, they're 665 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: doing it completely differently. This is about Russell Wilson cooking, 666 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: throwing the ball on the perimeter. He has a number 667 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: one receiver that's emerging in dk Metcalf to go with 668 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: tie to lock it. Chris Carson is able to put 669 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone as a runner. This 670 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks team is so different because they're really led by 671 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: their office and they hope to get a couple of 672 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: stops each game from their defense. But Russ is cooking, 673 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: and as long as he's playing get an m v 674 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: P level. The Seahawks have a chance to win each 675 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: and every game that they end. Yeah and look, I 676 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: was glad that you mentioned Chris Carson getting into the 677 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: end zone on the in the run game. He's done 678 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: it a couple of times through the air this season. 679 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: For those are his first rushing touchdowns of the season. 680 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: He got close to a hundred yards, just proving that 681 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: when they need to, they can still pound the rock 682 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: in Seattle, despite still letting rust cook. I'm a little 683 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: bit more concerned about their defense giving up over four 684 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards yet again this season, again without Jamal Adams. 685 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: Not sure when he comes back, but um, there there's 686 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: some wards there on that Seahawks defense that they gotta 687 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: figure out if they want to be real contenders once 688 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: you get into the thick of the playoff tournament here 689 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL this season, d J. I don't know 690 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: one thing. One thing I'm thinking about watching all these 691 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: games we're talking about here is that this whole no preseason, 692 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: no offseason has led to a ton of offense and 693 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: a ton of points. It's actually really fun to watch. 694 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: So if that's what we get, then I'm okay with it. 695 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: What's the next one here, Rett, what's the next take? Boy? 696 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: We got some Texas sized trouble in Houston Cousins play 697 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: actions right in the pocket to the end zone, touched 698 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: down flat on the play field and brought it in 699 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: nine yards. Score and the Pike Games lead twenty three sixteen. 700 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: So this is frustrating in Houston right now. I'm just 701 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: gonna read a couple of things that J. J. Watton 702 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: had to say, who was visly frustrated after the game. Rightly, so, 703 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: I said, we gotta do something different. This isn't working. 704 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: Something needs to change, be different. All I can do 705 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: is work harder asked about no turnovers this year. He's 706 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: just very frustrating. If I had suggestions, I would make 707 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: them giving up yards and points, he says, not gonna 708 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: win many games that way. I can control what I control. Uh. 709 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: Story is, we gotta stop the run, We gotta prevent passings. 710 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, like it just it sounds like there's just 711 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: a lack of answers for Houston and on offense, like 712 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: it hasn't been much better. Um, you know, they were 713 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: in a position to go down there and win this game, 714 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: or to get close to winning this game with that 715 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: Will Fuller touchdown that ends up getting taken off the 716 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: board due to a bobble as he was going to 717 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: the ground. Um, it just it just has not looked 718 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: right on offense and it's looked down right bad on defense. 719 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you have a lot of change, right, you 720 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of change. Uh. You have offensive coordinator 721 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to call the game. Bill 722 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: O'Brien may step back in and take over some of 723 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: the play calling duties. You have a new defensive coordinator 724 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: and Anthony we were taking over for Romer Kernel. He 725 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: is trying to figure out how to coordinate the front 726 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: end with the back end after being a D line coach. 727 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: And so with all the change in the coaching ranks, 728 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: it is playing out on the field. And I don't 729 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: know how talented this team is in terms of the 730 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: blue chip talent. H J. J. Watt is not quite 731 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: the player that he once was, but they certainly are 732 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: good enough to have a win on the ledger at 733 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: some point, and so they have to get back to basics. 734 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: They got to make sure defensively they cannot let the 735 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: ball fly out of the head. They have to be 736 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: able to stop the run and force people into a 737 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: one dimensional approach until they're able to control the game defensively. 738 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter what they do on offense because 739 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: they're always behind the eight ball. While I'm looking at 740 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: this from the other side of the country here and 741 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Miami Dolphins watching the Houston Texans struggle, 742 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: knowing that they have their first and second round picks, 743 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: knowing you've got two a Tongo Bylola, Knowing you've got 744 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: Davante Parker outside, you've got mike A Secki, who's gonna 745 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: be a nice emerging tight end who's really starting to 746 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: come on. And Buck I'm just sitting there, going, man, 747 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: now you throw Jamaar Chase on the other side. Maybe 748 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: you want two tight ends. You can go take the 749 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: tight end from Florida who has been lighting it up 750 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: so far this season. And now you've got to a 751 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: top of la back there, and we are dancing with 752 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, I mean, I think that's something. 753 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: Because Bill O'Brien Mason moves. He went for the right 754 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: now as opposed to the future, mortgaged away some of 755 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: the future, and now they may not be good enough 756 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: to cash in right now, and then he may have 757 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: to look and see the Miami Dolphins cash in on 758 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: some of the opportunities that he gave them. It's a 759 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: it's a little bright spot there for the Miami Dolphins. 760 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: All right, last one here, Uh, let's go to the 761 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: Indie Chicago game, and the Indianapolis defense was dominant. Snap 762 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: his back again, a form and rush everything he picked 763 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: up during coming over. They don't complete, intercepted black bitch 764 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: got it inside the tent, picks it up to the 765 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 1: lift team to the to the twenty two yard line, 766 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: and the rookie out of Utah collects the interception and 767 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: Miller unable to catch that football over the middle. Yeah, 768 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: this is in Indianapolis. Colts defense is really playing as 769 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: well as anyone in the league right now. You can 770 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: say the best defense in football right now. And it's 771 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: a combination of some of the things that we're missing 772 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: from the Dallas Cowboys. Matt Eberfluss, who was who was 773 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: with that Dallas Cowboy team with Rod Marinelli and company. 774 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: He's got this Colts group. As you can see with 775 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: these highlights, they are sprinting to the football. They play 776 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: so hard, they're very physical, they can get pass rush inside, 777 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: they get pass rush off the edge, and and buck 778 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: a lot of times when you talk about great defenses, 779 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: it starts against the run. I know we're in a 780 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: passing league and people like to focus on that. But 781 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: when your longest run you allow in a game of 782 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: six yards um, you make a team very one dimensional 783 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: and uh and then they were able to get off 784 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: of the quarterback. Yeah, they are able to get up 785 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 1: to quarterback. I can't harp enough on what met Abra 786 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: Fluss has done with this defense. They play hard, they 787 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: run to the ball is a very simple, straightforward concept. 788 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: They're getting their guys to play fast because there's not 789 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: a lot of mental clutter. The move to get the 790 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: forest Buckner has changed the identity of their front line. 791 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: He controls the tackle tackle box. They're able to get 792 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: freshure with four guys, and because they can get pressure, 793 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: they can leave everybody back in coverage, playing more man 794 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: to man than you would think a Tampa two team 795 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: would do. But the coverage has been outstanding and people 796 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: cannot find the open windows to complete passes. Just one 797 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: quick thing to add there. We had the sock call 798 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: from Julian Blackman, the safety out of Utah, making that 799 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: interception off Nick Foles. He credited Frank Reich for preparing 800 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: that defense for Nick Foles specifically and how this offense 801 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: was going to run with Nick Foles as quarterback and 802 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: clearly uh that paid off with Frank's Frank Breik's knowledge 803 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: of of course, what Folds can do from their time 804 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: together in Philly. That's ten takeaways right there. I feel 805 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: like this week we could have had twenty takeaways. Such 806 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: an interesting week of action.
