1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: What's up DJ Bucky here as we look at one 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: of the biggest games from the weekend, which was the 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: Raiders going on the road and getting after the Kansas 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, which there's a lot to get to on 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders side of things. We want to give them 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: their love and we will do that in a little bit, 8 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: but I want to start first of all, Buck, get 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: your opinion. I watched it live, then watch the tape 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: this morning. Just your opinion on Chiefs offense and what 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: the heck is wrong. 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: With this group. 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs overall are pressing on offense. I 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: think the biggest thing that the Chiefs are dealing with 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 3: is they're competing with the former versions of themselves, meaning 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 3: that everyone when they look at the Chiefs, they finally 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: remember the days of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey just 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: running past everybody, the acrobatic acts, the aerial circus that 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 3: was in Arrowhead. 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: That team no longer exists. 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: And so as soon as the Chiefs come to that 22 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: realization that they are a different team and that they 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 3: have to play a methodical brand of football that requires 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes to get the ball out of his hands quickly. 25 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: That requires maybe a little more reliance on the running game. 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: That they have to be more of a half court 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 3: offense than a fast break offense. They'll be better for it. 28 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: Right now, they want to go back and try and 29 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 3: get these big chunk players whatever, and it's not there. 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 3: And I'll say this, Andy Reid has to be more 31 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: patient and discipline when it comes to taking the three 32 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: and four yard play, whether it's on the run or 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: the quick passing game. They have to make a decision 34 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: that they're going to be more efficient operating a deac 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: and dunk style of offense as opposed to trying to 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 3: push and push the envelope with all these creative plays 37 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: to generate these explosives. Right now, they don't have a 38 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: team that has the players that can deliver those explosive plays. 39 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: So they got to make the change and be who 40 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: they are. 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned half court playing half court hoops, and 42 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: that's when I watched it, buck Man like that they're there. 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: They are getting plastered. It is so weird to look 44 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: at it where they're just they can't uncover. The field 45 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: is shrunk, the safeties were. We used to always joke 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: and say the safeties were in the parking lot. Starting 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills on that Thursday night, you know 48 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: amazon game that we did a million years ago. This 49 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: is uh, this is a different offense. And then so okay, 50 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: well the field's gonna shrink, so we gotta have guys 51 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: that can run after catch. They're not good after the catch. 52 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: You know. 53 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: You you watch that same day, you watch San Francisco 54 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: and you watch Deebo Samuel and I. You can kiddle 55 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: when all these guys after the catch. Now, they had 56 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: a nice job. Kelsey had a nice stiff arm. He 57 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: got out in the open field and uh, and was 58 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: able to do something with the ball in his hands. 59 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: But man, they do not have that on the whole. 60 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Also in this game, you know, the tackle situation is 61 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: not great. That that is that is an issue. Their 62 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: best plays were, you know, in terms of just getting 63 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: something positive, we're just screens where you're not getting a 64 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: ton of yards after the catch, but at least you're 65 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: getting positive plays. So they're a little bit of a mess. 66 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: And Mahomes I have never seen him in the past 67 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: drop his eyes as much as he did when he 68 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: did have some clean pockets. He bailed on more than 69 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: a few because he'd been hit and he doesn't really 70 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: trust his guys, so he's looking at the rush. He's 71 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: not seeing some things. There's an opportunity for a go ball, 72 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: a deep ball that he didn't take advantage of because 73 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, his eyes were dropped. It also shows me that, 74 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: you know, for as much as we talk about how 75 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: great some of these players are, and Mahomes no question, 76 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: when we do trucks and trailers, he's a truck. You know, 77 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: he drives, he can drive it. He makes other people better. 78 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: But it does show you the difference and what the 79 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: numbers look like and what the performance looks like when 80 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: you don't have some of the pieces he's had in place, 81 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, throughout his career, when they've gotten a little 82 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: worse on the offensive line, you don't have the speed 83 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: at receiver, you aren't quite as accomplished elsewhere, Mahomes looks 84 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: a little more mortal. And that's why when people get 85 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: mad at us and say when we get crushed, hey, 86 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: you missed on this quarterback or you missed on that quarterback. 87 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: You know what the environment matters, where you go matters 88 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: and this is an example. My homes is still playing 89 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: like a maybe A B plus A minus quarterback, but 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: not the A plus maybe in the discussion is the 91 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: greatest of all time because the environment's changed. 92 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, DJ, And so this is a lesson for everybody. 93 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: It's a lesson for all of us. 94 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: Like, as much as we want to individualize football, you 95 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: can't do it. As much as we want to make 96 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 3: the quarterback solely responsible for the success of failure of 97 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 3: a team, it doesn't happen like that. There is not 98 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: a great quarterback that doesn't play with great players, like 99 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: you have to have great players on the other end. 100 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: As much as we like to romanticize the fact that, oh, 101 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: this guy makes his team better, yes they can, but 102 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: those players need to already be at a B B 103 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: plus level to become as You don't take a D 104 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 3: and make an A. 105 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: And what we're seeing in Kansas City. 106 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: Look, and I understand this because I understand the mindset 107 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 3: that Andy Reid had haven't been in Green Bay together. 108 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 3: There was a lot made when we're in Green Bay 109 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: about the system making the players on the perimeter. You 110 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: have a Hall of Fame quarterback. Look, the system will 111 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: elevate the players. The one thing though, is might have 112 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: underestimated how good and how talented Tyreek Hill was, because 113 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: the loss of Tyreek Hill has certainly changed the way 114 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 3: this Chief's offense has played. Yes, they won a Super 115 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: Bowl last year, but now the further we get away 116 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: from Tyreek Hill, the more we see the regression of 117 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey as he gets older. We're seeing that and 118 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: the other thing that normally, in most cases, we would 119 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: make this a big deal, but when you lose your 120 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator, some things go out the door when he leaves. 121 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: And I know that Andy Reid has always been the 122 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: masterful play caller in those things. But I am beginning 123 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: to wonder without Eric B. Enemy and hearing some of 124 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: the things that were attributed to Eric B. Enemy and 125 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: watching about the demands and how he was coaching guys hard, 126 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 3: I do wonder if some of that hard coaching is 127 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: missed in Kansas City when it comes to just the 128 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: little things like lining up right, some of the drops 129 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: that we're seeing, some of the just the erarors gafs 130 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: that we're staying from this team that we haven't seen 131 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: in the past. Not saying that eb was the play 132 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: call of responsible for that, But sometimes when you're the coordinator, 133 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: your job is to clean up like the little details 134 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: that the head coach may miss. And I do wonder 135 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: have they lost some of that attention to detail as 136 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: well as some of the talent that went out the door. 137 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, all flipping around to you. Though they have the 138 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: Bengals at home, then they're at the Chargers to finish 139 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: up the season. It doesn't look right. They're not playing 140 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: great offensively. They have issues that I don't think are 141 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: going to get totally resolved until the offseason have a 142 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: chance to add some more pieces. That being said, are 143 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: you really do you really want to play these guys 144 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: in the postseason with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes? You 145 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: really want that matchup if you're some of these teams 146 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: in the AFC. I don't think the AFC is a 147 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: dominant conference right now. I know at the very top 148 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: what we saw from Baltimore it isn't is an elite 149 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: level team. But I mean Miami Dolphins, they already beat them. 150 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know anybody that they're going to 151 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: really fear if they get into the tournament. I mean, 152 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: they play Buffalo close, lost by three points. They can 153 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: play with anybody even when they're not right, So that 154 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: still makes them a very dangerous team. Loston Detroit obviously 155 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: the first game near by one point, So this is 156 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: still to me. Just let's not kick dirt on the 157 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs just yet, no DJ. 158 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: And here's the great thing about the playoffs, right, the 159 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: great thing about the playoffs is the great opportunity to reset, 160 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: and the coaches and the teams are handling the right way. 161 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: Hey man, once you get into the tournament, doesn't matter 162 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: what you're seeding is. You got just as much of 163 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: a chance to go to the Super Bowl as anybody else. 164 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: Can you get your mind right? You would like to 165 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: go in with a little momentum, but we've seen, man, 166 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: you create your own momentum in the postseason. The kans 167 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: City Chiefs, they just have to make sure they get 168 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: into the tournament. Then you have two time MVP, you 169 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: have a head coach who knows how to win a 170 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. 171 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: You have a defense that's playing liights out. 172 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, like, you can't dismiss their chances of re emerging 173 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: as the team to beat in the AFC. We just 174 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: haven't had enough visual evidence of late to fully back 175 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 3: the Cancity Chiefs as a team that can go back 176 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: to back. 177 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: No doubt. All right, let's switch gears here. It's time 178 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: for sacks and quarterbacks, and let's give the Raiders their love. 179 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Let's give Antonio Pierce his love. Let's give that defense 180 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: led by Max Crosby, their love for what they did 181 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Chiefs. It is. It has definitely 182 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: been a power statement from Antonio Pierce to let his 183 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: bosses know, Hey, maybe last time you had Rich Passacia, 184 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: the team was playing well, you got into the postseason, 185 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: you decided to go out and hire a bunch of 186 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: new guys and really kind of kick the old guard out. 187 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: Antonio Piers is saying, hey, don't make that mistake another 188 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: time here. 189 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he's done a really good job. 190 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: DJ and I think when you watch the tape you 191 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: saw this, I am really amazed at how simplistic the 192 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 3: game plan was for the Las Vegas Raiders. You know, 193 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 3: there's a little bluster coming out of the Raiders camp 194 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: before the game about hey man, physicality, violence, really kind 195 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: of punching the Kansasity Chiefs in the mouth. If they're 196 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: going to do all the other stuff like you got 197 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: to hit them, You got to make it a very 198 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 3: physical affair. With dj W, it really came down the effort, discipline, physicality. 199 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 3: Those zones where we're talking about those guys now uncovered 200 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: dj those zones were high. 201 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: School three deep defenses, four under three deep. Hey, they 202 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: throw the check down, they rallied, and they tackled. 203 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: But they were able to play those seven man zones 204 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: and a little occasional man the man because up front 205 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: they were absolutely wearing them out. Max Crosby and Coats, 206 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: they were just ripping and running, relentless in their pursuit 207 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: of the quarterback. 208 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: And look, they made Pat Mahomes uncomfortable. And so it 209 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: ain't about the trickery. 210 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 3: It's about the execution, and the execution from the Raiders 211 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: the last few weeks has been suburb which is a 212 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: testament to what Antonio Pears and Patrick Graham and all 213 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: the other coaches have done. 214 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to give EARLD colleague Mike Mayck a 215 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: little love here too, because when you look at Max Crosby, 216 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: who's really one of the best players in the league 217 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: regardless of position, Mike had hit a home run that one. Also, 218 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: Malcolm Coots had three sacks in this game. He's got 219 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: seven sacks now on the year. He has turned himself 220 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: into a really, really good young player. He's twenty five 221 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: years old in his third season, really starting to produce 222 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: and gives them a pair of dynamic edge rushers there 223 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: on the opposite side. You mentioned Patrick Graham doing a 224 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: wonderful job as well. It's been impressive to watch it. 225 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: I saw it. I mean the week before Jack Jones 226 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: jumping in the lineup, jumping route for a pick six 227 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. Why not double up do the same 228 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: thing again in this one. So it's been fun to 229 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: watch how hard they're playing. And I think, to me, 230 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: I think it's understood or people expect that you're going 231 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: to see the same effort your professionals. What that entails 232 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: as you show up and you give your best every week. 233 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: But there's a different level of passion that these guys 234 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: are playing with buck that I don't know where to 235 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: attribute it other than to Antonio Pearson and their group. 236 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, j you get what you demand, and so I 237 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 3: think what they've done is they've demanded more effort. To me, 238 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 3: when I look at this team and watching the team closely, 239 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 3: I see a team that look, man, and what they're 240 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 3: doing isn't complex, but man, they really dialt into the 241 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: game plan. They really do a good job of late 242 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: of anticipating what is about to happen. Whether it's they've 243 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: done a better job of really studying the tape and 244 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 3: understand information tendencies and down in distance in those things, 245 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: or just having a better overall awareness and understanding of 246 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: what the scheme is being what the scheme demands of 247 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 3: the players. But I am watching the team that man, 248 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: they are hunting the ball and they're getting to the 249 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: ball with like reckless abandon and the only way you 250 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: can do it like that is you know what you're 251 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: doing so you can play fast. So hats off to 252 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: them for simplifying whatever it is that they were doing 253 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: or teaching and explaining the techniques and the scheme very 254 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: clearly so the players know exactly what they do so 255 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 3: they can just play with their. 256 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 2: Hair on fire. 257 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: No doubt it's working. And hats off to the Raiders. 258 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: That's a big win for them going on the road 259 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: and beating the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, we're going 260 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: to take a quick break when we come back. It 261 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: is rocky draft time, coming off of a week where gosh, 262 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: I think Rhett had a good week. Have to give 263 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: him his flowers here as he's going to have a 264 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: producer Drew draft for him this week. See if he 265 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: can keep it rolling. We'll get to that right after this. 266 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: All right, Well, it was a good week for our 267 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: buddy Rhett in the rookie quarter or rookie Draft, I 268 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: should say. Last week. He piled up seven points, two 269 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: first place finishes for the week, with Bryce Young and 270 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs both having big weeks, and then he also 271 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: got a point from Sam Laporta for being second place 272 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: on the tight end or the pass catcher spot there. 273 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: Bucky got a point for de Vito. Somehow, de Vito 274 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: outscored Aidan O'Connell and ad O'Connell played the whole game. 275 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: DeVito played about two minutes and still ended up getting 276 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: me there. Bijon got me a point for a second 277 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: place finish, and Pooka Nakula got me the first place 278 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: three points there. So for the season, Drew getting my 279 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: air here? Am I still holding on here? Who we got? 280 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm up by three? Okay, so I'm holding on tight here. 281 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: Drew is going to fill in for Rhet, and so 282 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: Rhett has the first pick, followed by me and then 283 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: you and Drew has already given me the heads up 284 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: to Rehtt's first pick. He's taking Jamiir Gibbs as he 285 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: tries to keep it rolling there. Jamiir Gibbs has been awesome, 286 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: so no problem of that selection there. I'm gonna come 287 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: back Buck. I know that it's not official if he's 288 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: playing at this point in time, but I'm gonna gamble. 289 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take C. J. Stroud and hope that he's 290 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: he's good to go and back for the Houston Texans 291 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: and see if he can't get them back on the 292 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: right track. Man, they miss him in a big way. 293 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: So I'll go with Stroud here. 294 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, look, I guess I have to go back 295 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: to back and this is gonna hurt me because I'm 296 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: gonna do something that I don't believe it in the 297 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: fantasy world, but I have to have no choice. I 298 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: gotta take Bryce Young. He's gonna play against the Jaguars 299 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: as we can. Hopefully I can get yards, but find 300 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: a way to lose. And then I'm gonna take b 301 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: Jhon Robinson right after that. So, I mean I got 302 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: two playmakers getting ready to go, and that maybe both 303 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 3: of those. 304 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: Guys can have a good week. 305 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: Okay, well that makes it easy for me. I'm gonna 306 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: go Pooka Nakua for the second week in a row. 307 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: He's been good to me here, so I feel good 308 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: about this Stroud and Akua combo that I've got. Drew, 309 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: You've got back to back picks for RHTT here, find 310 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: a way to screw it up what you got. He's 311 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: gonna go Za Flowers at the wide receiver spot, and 312 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: he's going to go Aidan O'Connell at the quarterback spot. 313 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's more of a Drew pick than 314 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: a REHTT pick. Is Drews a raider guy, and he 315 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: thinks that Aidan O'Connell is going to complete a pass 316 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: in the second half this week. He's very confident about that, 317 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: so he's going to go in that direction. I've got 318 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: running back gosh, I guess I let's see here, I 319 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: gotta go eight chan Right, that's gonna be a tough 320 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: one against the Baltimore Ravens. But maybe he catches the 321 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: ball on the backfield a little bit. All right, I'm 322 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: gonna go eight Chan. I don't like that pick, but 323 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: that's what I got to do here. Buck, you got 324 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: the last pick. Yeah, still, because I think I got 325 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: Jordan Adison got her. 326 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: So I think I may have to go js in 327 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba to see if you can figure 328 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: it out. 329 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Jackson Smith and Jigbah for Buck. There 330 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: you have it. Rhett is going to trot out Jamiir Gibbs, 331 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Za Flowers, and Aidan O'Connell. I'm going to trot out Stroud, 332 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: Puka Nakua, and then Devon a Chan and Bucky is 333 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: going to run out there with Bryce Young, with Bijon Robinson, 334 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: and with Jackson Smith and Jigba.
