1 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: We are often running on Monday. Hello, everybody, welcome to 2 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: move the sticks. Sim Rett lewis here with our former 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: NFL scout in NFL VET Bucky Brooks and Bucky. Just 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: as your Halloween Sunday sugar high was settling into a 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: mellow Monday morning, Bam, how about some breaking news to 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: bring back the buzz. Thank you very much. Rams General 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: manager Less Sneed, who has pulled off a trade to 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: acquire Von Miller edge rusher extraordinaire from the Denver Broncos. 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: The Rams will send a second and third round pick 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: to Denver as part of the trade. Rams never like 11 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: those draft picks anyway, Bucky. As we get a look 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: at this one, the Rams sixteenth in the league in 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: terms of generating pressure this year. Getting a guyling von 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: Miller certainly helps in that category. And so I love this. 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: I love what the Rams are doing. And look, this 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: goes against what every team build we're talking about in 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: terms of accumulating picks. But what I love about the 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: Rams they are all about players over picks. They won't 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: proven players, guys who have pedigrees and resumes that we 20 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: can see and feel and watch them. And even though 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: von Miller isn't the same von Miller that dominated the 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: game at one point. He's still a flasher. And when 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: you put him on this defense and now looks like 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Star Wars with Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller he 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: only needs to be a compliment on the backside of 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. So every now and then he just needs 27 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: to show up. I like this because you gotta win 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: a division and when you look at the division, Calum Murray, 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: you gotta do with Russell Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo. You need 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: to be able to get the quarterback down. Von millergi 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: is him another weapon? Go back a couple of years 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: ago when they brought Dante Fowler in right from the 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: Jaguars and provided a nice boost off the ask got 34 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: himself a new contract out in Atlanta, and now maybe 35 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Von Miller can provide a similar one to punch with 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. And by the way, von Miller, just to 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: you know, further describe his impact for a defense in 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: the next gen era is number one in quarterback pressures, 39 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: number three. His new teammate Aaron Donald that since two 40 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen. Now here's the thing, von Miller playing 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: in the last year of his contract. Here Bucky that 42 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: six year, hundred fourteen million dollar deal he signed. So 43 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: it begs the question of what happens in the future. Yeah, 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: but then, but but this is great though. Like um, 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: when I was with the Green Bay Packers, ron Wolf 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: used to do these kind of moves. He would bring 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: someone in, a veteran player who is either motivated by 48 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: chasing the ring. Way back with the Green Bay Packers, 49 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: it was Andre Razin, or it could be some other 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: vet that they were bringing in because as a little 51 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: juice to the locker room when everyone is chasing Didaver 52 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: Broncos are paying nine million of the nine point seven 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: million dollars leparty. Good deal, so it's a free but yes, 54 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: you give up a second and the third round pick. 55 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: But for the Rams, you get a motivated veteran player, 56 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: someone who has already won a ring. Maybe he can 57 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: set the tone and show these other guys how to 58 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: win a ring if they get an opportunity. So von 59 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: Miller did not play for the Broncos this past week. 60 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: He was banged up in Week seven against the Browns 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: didn't play week eight. But Vic Fangio had said when 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: he was a member of the Broncos just a couple 63 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: of days ago that he might be ready. In fact, 64 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: four week nine, Rams have the Titans on Sunday Night football. Uh. 65 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: Here in l A. Rams now left with four draft picks, 66 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: by the way, just to close that story out here 67 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: in third rounder, a fifth rounder, and two sevens. Let's 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: get to the Tennessee Titans, who will match up against 69 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: the L. A. Rams and their new edge rusher Von 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: Miller this week. And it sounds like Derrick Henry will 71 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: not be available for the Tennessee Titans. He's going to 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: undergo foot surgery. No timetable on his return. Now, our 73 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Mike Giardi was at this game for the Titans in 74 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Indianapolis and noticed Derrick Henry early in this game with 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: his cleat off, kind of walking around the sidelines, did 76 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily look right, but finished the game. Which is 77 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: crazy to think that he's now gonna have surgery. Uh, 78 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: and it's going to be out for a number of weeks. 79 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: No timetable again for the return. So where did the 80 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: Titans go? Now? Considering the percentage of production that came 81 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: from King Henry on offense, well one, there's no way 82 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: that can replace King Henry. He is a freak of nature. Um, 83 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: you just do see guys who can look. He was 84 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: on track to have another two thousand RF season And 85 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: so I don't know if they can find anybody on 86 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: their locker room on the streets. Yes, there's conversation about 87 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: them bringing Adrian Peterson in, but Adrian Peterson isn't going 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: to give them what Derrick Henry gave them. But here's 89 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: the thing. The Tennessee Titans believe that they're smashed my team. 90 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: And maybe it doesn't matter who's that tailback. You put 91 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: a little more pressure on the offensive line to get 92 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: it done, or you flipped the script because remember on 93 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: the outside A J. Brown, Julio Jones, Ryan Tannehill playing 94 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: at a high level, maybe they become a little more 95 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: past centric as opposed to being the old bulleyball team 96 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: that has dominated the AFC. Just well been healthy. They've 97 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: got the targets to be a little bit more pass 98 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: heavy with Julio Jones and A J. Brown. And again 99 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans, here Adrian Peterson, as you mentioned, 100 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: expected to be brought in for a work out that 101 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: according to our NFL Network insider Ian Rapp, report and 102 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: just a head in the show a train target that 103 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: might help the Titans now that Derrick Henry is out 104 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: for a bit. And with that, let's kick off our 105 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: big three getting back to the games after all that 106 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: breaking news, and well, I guess more breaking news because 107 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: Ian Rapp report also reporting. Now it's a torn a 108 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: c L for Jamis Winston. Trevor Simeon had to come 109 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: on in relief of Winston in the STS thirties six 110 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to twenty seven win. And yes, Tom Brady threw for 111 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: another three and four touchdowns, but he turned the ball 112 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: over three times in the Buck's loss, and the Saints 113 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: now just a half game back of the Bucks in 114 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: the division. Shout out to my dog p J right 115 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: here with the Pigs six shouty looking like you, daddy boy. 116 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: We're studying tape, but it looked delayed on the hill, 117 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: you know. Tiptoe to the pile off for the finisher. 118 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: Shout out to my dog running their rock toepe. He's 119 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: been studying and take clear game. Good team, but we 120 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: didn't obviously play what we're capable when I got to 121 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: play better, So tough to win that way when you 122 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: when you turn the ball over like we did. So 123 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: I gotta not the win receptions. That's the key. That 124 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: was an embarrassing display of football. Um from all the 125 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: things that we talked about coming down here to what 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: it was gonna take to win and to play like 127 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: that starts with me. Obviously we weren't ready to play 128 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: and penalties, turnovers and beating anybody, uh that way. That 129 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: was New Saints running back marking I'm talking about p J. 130 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Williams and his game ceiling pick six. Then Tom Brady 131 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: and Bruce Arian's commenting on the loss for the Bucks here, 132 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: and then for a team at least in the regular 133 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: season in the New Orleans Saints that has absolutely had 134 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: the Bucks number here, Bucky, and it feels like when 135 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: the Saints match up against the Bucks, it's like a 136 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: philosophical attitude type of difference here. How do you see it? Oh? 137 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: I absolutely see that in that clip. Later, Abacamar and 138 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: mark Ingram talked about and we played the Tampa by Buccaneers. 139 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: It's a bad game. So this goes all the way 140 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: back to the playoffs when they won the Super Bowl 141 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and Reggie Bush came out of the tunnel with the 142 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: bad because Sean Payton picks the game every year where 143 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: they say they need to bring the wood. They have 144 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: to be the most physical team on the field, and 145 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: the bat symbolizes that when when they talk about the 146 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: bad game. The one thing that I see when I 147 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: watched this team play against the Bucks. Oh, they love 148 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: the physicality and they're certainly not afraid of the Tampa 149 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Five of the last six times they've matched up, 150 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints have won throughout the last one 151 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: in the time Brady error has gone to the Saints. 152 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: So when they see Uh the Pewter run out the tunnel, 153 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: they get excited. And what you see is a team 154 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: that is not afraid to go nose to nose. On 155 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the outside, the Pastors finds a way to get home. 156 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: And once they get around Tom Brady, it changes the 157 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: way that he plays. It's all about the physicality, the 158 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: toughness and the effort. The New Orleans Saints certainly bring 159 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: that whenever they see the Bucks. As a member of 160 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, tom Brady now owing three leading the Bucks 161 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: and it's throwing seven interceptions. What is it about the 162 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: way that Dennis Allen coordinates the Saints defense to find 163 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: success at least in the regular season against Tom Brady, 164 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: but they don't give him airspace. They don't give the 165 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers airspace. You see them go nose to nose, 166 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: play tough man and man defense. That allows the past 167 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: for us to have a little more time to get 168 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: to the quarterback because they're not getting too free releases. Also, 169 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: you talk about Dennis Allen, just know Chris Richard has 170 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: come over to be the secondary coach. You see those 171 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing a little better, cleaner technique. He's one of 172 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: the best in the business. Is part of the philosophy. 173 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: They challenged the Bucks at the wide receiver. They make 174 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: it very testy and tough for them and as a 175 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: result they forced Tom Brady throwing the tight windows. Now 176 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: for the Saints on offense, it was the game not 177 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: without adversity. I mean they lose Jamis Winston very early 178 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: in this game on a tackle from Devon White that 179 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: forced Winston outs and now torn a c L and 180 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: some m c L damage. So he has gone for 181 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: a season. So Simeon comes in him. Peyton engineers some 182 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: success for this offense right away. I mean they scored 183 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: seventeen points on the first three drives that Simeon was 184 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: in there. Well, here's the thing about Sean Paige one. 185 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: I think we have to give miss Flowers. Everyone has 186 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: recognized and appreciated him as one of the best offensive minds, 187 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: but what he does with quarterbacks is amazing. Thirteen and 188 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: three they've been since twenty nineteen when they haven't had 189 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: Drew Brees on the field. That is Sean Payton's ability 190 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: to take any and every quarterback and put him in 191 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: a comfort zone. But there you see it, play action passes, 192 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: great protection upfront, and the quarterbacks understand a you don't 193 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: have to be a hero, take the check down. How 194 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: many times do we see the ball go to the 195 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: underneath receiver and they allow those guys to go to work. 196 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: I just believe that Sean Payton pumps his quarterbacks with 197 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence, and he also calls the game 198 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: for them to win it. But also helps when you 199 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: know that your defense can hold it down and they 200 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: are good enough on defense, they they don't have to 201 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: be over zealous trying to chase points. Now you better 202 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: believe that. And now here's the question, right because Tremper Simeon, 203 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: one of four back up quarterbacks to help engineer a 204 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: victory for their teams on this week eight Sunday. Now, 205 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: looking going forward for the Saints, Taysom Hill has been 206 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: banged up, see if he comes back, and then you 207 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: got Ian Book the rookie out there as well at 208 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: quarterback outside of Jameis Winston is sime and the guy 209 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: moving forward as they turned back to Taysom if healthy, well, 210 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: I think Jason Hills gets to nod because there was 211 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: a competition between Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston during the preseason, 212 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: so I would think he would get first body to 213 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: the apple. However, that does still give them a chance 214 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: to still use Trevor Simeon as they use those packages. 215 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: Maybe Trevor Simian comes and does some of the traditional 216 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: dropback stuff that Jamis was doing. Taysom Hill does what 217 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: he's customarily done as kind of the change of pace 218 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: wildcat weapon. I think, however this goes, you're going to 219 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: see a more ball control approach from the New Orleans Saints, 220 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: and really it doesn't really change what they do. This 221 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: is the team that is now built around their defense, 222 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: with the offense serving as the compliment. Nothing changes. More 223 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: pressure on the defense but I think they're ready to 224 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: take on the test. Taysom Hill three and one as 225 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: a starter last year for the New Orleans Saints. Let's 226 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: move on game number two of our Big Three right 227 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles, where the Patriots winners. They become 228 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: the first team to beat Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert twice. 229 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: Think about that for a second. And now back to 230 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: back losses for the Chargers this season, coinciding with Herbert's 231 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: worst two performances of the season. Offensively, is a tough 232 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: day out there, and turned the ball over too many times. 233 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: And you can't do that and expect to win in 234 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: this league, especially not a team like that. Who Um, 235 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, they played all all well on all three phases, 236 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: and um, I thought the defense is a great job 237 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: getting it stops today. But it fell on us fell 238 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: a store. Yeah, we saw a lot of Cover two 239 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: and so that's just one of those things that you know, 240 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: they hadn't shown a lot all year and and so 241 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: that's one of those game planned things that you have 242 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: to go into the game, um and see and address 243 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: at halftime. And I thought we did a good job 244 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: communicating that. And um, like I said, or that I 245 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: thought we ran the ball really well. Uh, Austin Neckler, 246 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Justin Jackson. Those guys ran the ball really hard. The 247 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: guys that front did a great job blocking um. So 248 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good, but a lot of things 249 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: that we need to fix. You heard him mentioned the 250 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: cover two right, It's an interesting piece of this whole 251 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: game plan now against Justin Herbert these last couple of weeks, 252 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: but in this one in particular, he had more time 253 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: to throw on average in this game than in any 254 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: of the seven games previous here for the l A Chargers. 255 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: So why wasn't able to find some ways to move 256 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: the ball here in this game? So here's what I 257 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: love about Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick is a historian and 258 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: he loves to kind of dig in the garage and 259 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: found the old game plans that he used. So this 260 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: goes back to the time when he was with the 261 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: New York Giants story and they played the Buffalo Bills 262 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: with the K gun and the New York Giants in 263 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl, they bumped around the Buffalo Bills and 264 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: cover to beat him up. Made it difficult for the 265 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: wide receivers on the outside, didn't give free access, and 266 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: those things and for Justin Herbert, what this does is 267 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: it changes the timing of the passing game. So now 268 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: when your guys have had free releases, they've been able 269 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: to run free and get to wherever they want to. 270 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: You can throw on time. Well, when the pages are 271 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: beating them up, jamming him, throwing them around on the outside, 272 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: the timing changes and you begin to pat the ball. Also, 273 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots dare the Charges to run the football, because 274 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: when you force teams to run the football, it is 275 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: a slower grind for them to score points. And are 276 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: you patient and discipline enough to do it. Also, if 277 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: you make them run, more plays to odds go in 278 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: your favor, because something bad typically happens. And so it's 279 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots doing what they do playing situational football where 280 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: they master the dB O game. Don't beat ourselves, don't 281 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: give up big plays, don't literally have a bunch of penalties, 282 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: and don't turn the ball over. You do those three things, 283 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: you win games. And that's why the Patriots were able 284 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: to win this game. You know, going back to what 285 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert said after the Ravens lost a couple of 286 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: weeks ago here for the Chargers, and he said that 287 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: Ravens threw some stuff at him that they hadn't seen 288 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: on tape. Said the same thing after this loss here 289 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: to the Patriots. That says something at all about the 290 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: way they're preparing or the way that they are adjusting 291 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: in game. Well, I mean, I think it says one 292 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: that everyone has a healthy amount of respect for where 293 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: the Chargers and Justin Herbert wrinkles. For Justin Herbert to 294 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: get this kind of respect where they're changing game plans 295 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: and getting out of character in terms of how they're playing, 296 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: it says that they believe he is one of the 297 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the game. Now the trick is because 298 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, you've gone around the league a full lap, 299 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: and this is your two. You're going to give the adjustments. 300 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: So now it's on him to adjust to what the 301 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: adjusters are doing. And so Brandon Staley, Joe Lombardi, they 302 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: have to figure out what is our plan when people 303 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: take away our fastball? Do we have something that we 304 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: can do? Do we have a knuckler, a change up, 305 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: something that we can give them to get back into 306 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: the mix. But that's where they are at right now 307 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. Some good news for the Chargers. Their 308 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: run defense much better in this game, as Brandon Staley, 309 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: their head coach, acknowledge that afterwards held the Patriots under 310 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: four yards per carry. Now for New England will get 311 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: to Mac Jones and their rookie quarterback and his performance 312 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: in this game just ahead in our rookie report cards. 313 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: Let's get the game three of the Big Three. And 314 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: for that we had to Cleveland, a fifteen to ten 315 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: home loss and the Steelers sending the Browns back to 316 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the seller of the a f C North Cleveland mustering 317 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: just ten points on five drives that ended in Steeler's territory, 318 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: including their last two possessions which resulted in a fumble 319 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: and a turnover on downs in a terrific defensive effort 320 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: on the day for Pittsburgh. But the collective in front 321 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: of personal agenda's man, and we fought. And that's the 322 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: only way you get out of those environments, particularly with 323 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: some of the adversity that we face today, some of 324 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: which was created by us, some of which was created 325 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: by me. You know. Um, the fake field goal man 326 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: was a bad call because we poorly executed it, and 327 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: so I take responsibility for that. I appreciate the guys 328 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: back in my play and fighting for sixty minutes and 329 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: delivering victory and making it a side note, talked about 330 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: the fake field goal. Chris Boswell, Uh, I mean took 331 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: a huge hit on that fake field knocked him out 332 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: for the rest of the game, so they were without 333 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: their kicker. Part of what Mike Tomlin was referencing there. 334 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: But does it feel like this, you know, kind of 335 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: an ugly game defense shine for Pittsburgh's that feel like 336 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers are finding the way that they want to 337 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: play this season with this team. Yeah, like you. So 338 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: here's the thing where we can talk about it. We've 339 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: been around football enough to know that typically you don't 340 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: find your identity team to about the midway point of 341 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: the season. You can speculate how you want to play 342 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: and get into the off season do all these fancy players. 343 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: But then when you start playing real games and you 344 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: get it on tape, you begin to look at your 345 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: team and try and figure out the best way to 346 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: do it. The Stealers were one in three at one point. 347 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: They have reeled off three straight wins and the one 348 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: thing that is showing up defense is playing well. But 349 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: now they're beginning to run the football. Naja Harrison spectacular, 350 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: so we knew he was good coming into the league. 351 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: But the offensive line is jelling. Matt Canada is finding 352 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: a way to create some players in the passing name. 353 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: And the Steelers are now playing what I call old 354 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: school Steelers football before the Killer Bees and they were 355 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: thrown it all over the yard. This is how the 356 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: Steelers used to always get down, great defense, run it 357 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: muddy up the game when it fifteen, ten, seventeen, thirteen, 358 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: low scores and you felt like you had been in 359 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: a twelve round by team match. That is what the 360 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: Steelers are doing. And this is their recipe for success. 361 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: And the one thing that you don't want to happen 362 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: in the a f C. You don't want to still 363 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: is to find their way because if they get into 364 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: the tournament, you know that they know how to beat 365 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: you up and muck it up. And so this is 366 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin doing a great job of finding a way 367 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: to win the game. Almost like this version of the 368 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: Steelers fields more real than what we saw those first 369 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: eleven games when they were undefeated. Last year, career high 370 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: twenty six carries for Nazi Harris in this game. Now, 371 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: let's get to the Browns because if you take this 372 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: thing somewhat full circle here from the last time we 373 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: saw him against the Steelers in the wild card game 374 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: where they beat Pittsburgh, beat Big Brother do it in 375 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and now you come back here to where 376 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: what we just saw. Where do we stand on this 377 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns team now sitting in last place in NFC North. 378 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: What they learned how difficult it is to be a 379 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: team that is consistently excellent. Uh, the appreciation that we 380 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: have for the teams that are always in the tournament, 381 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: that are always around when we talking about the kanc 382 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, or how we used to revere the New 383 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: England Patriots. There is something to having staying power, and 384 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: the Browns are learning that is different, going from being 385 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: the Hunter getting into Hunted. A lot of preseason hype 386 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: about this team being a super Bowl team, a lot 387 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: of talent on the team, but now you get everybody's 388 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: best game, you're the measuring stick. They're having to learn 389 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: how to deal with that, and the injuries certainly haven't 390 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: helped him learn how to deal with it. Feels like 391 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: once again, Myles Garrett best player on the field for 392 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Another sack in this gaming now is 393 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: ten and a half on the season, that's the most 394 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: in the league and puts him on pace for twenty 395 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: two and a half this year, which of course would 396 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: tie in the Hall of Famer Michael Strahan's single season record. 397 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: One of four backup quarterbacks help engineer wins on Sunday, 398 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush in for the injured Dak Prescott, throwing for 399 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: over three hundred including the game winning TD toss tol 400 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: Marii Cooper head coach Mike McCarthy saying, I was glad 401 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: everybody got to see that because that is Cooper Rush. 402 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: He plays the quarterback position like a seasoned veteran. And 403 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: with that, Bucky looking at this win now for the Cowboys, 404 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: with for Rush at the helmet, wasn't like they just 405 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: turned around and handed it all forty times. They throw 406 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: it forty times in this game. Play caller Kelen Moore 407 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: knows what it means to be a backup quarterback in 408 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: this league. Do you feel like that helped the connection 409 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: between he and Cooper Rush as they formulated this game plan. Absolutely. 410 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: I feel like Kellen Moore's experience as a backup quarterback 411 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: help Cooper Rush have success. I believe Kellen Moore's ability 412 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: to prepare and know how you have to come off 413 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: the bench and do those things, so he doesn't. But 414 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: because Cooper Rush got all of the work this week 415 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: and practice, I believe the Cowboys are able to build 416 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: a game plan. They really set him up for success. 417 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: And he has come a long way from the struggles 418 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: that we saw in training camp where you just didn't 419 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: know who was going to be the Cowboys backup quarterback. 420 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: But you put him in the situation where he has 421 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: a ton of talent. They you see Ceedee Lamba, Maori Cooper, 422 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: guys that can get it done. Behind him, he has 423 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: Ezekie Ellie and Tony Pollo. They can run the ball 424 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: when needed, and so all he had to do was 425 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: really just managed the game. But he did more than 426 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: that three hundred and twenty five yards where you don't 427 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: expect the backup quarterback to do it. And then with 428 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: the game hanging into balance, the Cowboys I call him 429 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: passing plays and trusting the backup quarterback to get it done. 430 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: It is look big onions by Kellen Moore to be 431 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: able to do it, but it's even greater confidence that 432 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: the coaching staff the players. Having Cooper rush on the 433 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: pravace field, he certainly earned the respect and so they 434 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: were able to trust him win to count it. An 435 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: Marii Cooper after the game was telling a story about 436 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: in the huddle on that last drive. I guess on 437 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: that touchdown call was the call came in for a 438 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: double left formation, which would have put Amory Cooper on 439 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: the left side and Ceedee Lamb on the right. But 440 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: ceed he was like, no, no, no, are you sure 441 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: that's not double right, which would have put him that 442 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: on the left and in position for that. So I 443 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: guess they went back and forth trying to lobby Cooper 444 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: rush for it. But a Marii Cooper, Uh, seniority yes 445 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: out in that scenario right now, Seniority wins out one A, 446 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: one B in the passing game. So then they play 447 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: rock picks in the huddle. Uh, And then looking at 448 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: the vikings here it's falling to three and four right now, 449 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, not be able to slow down a backup 450 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: quarterback on defense? What does that tell you about this 451 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: Team's just a really disappointing team, Like this is a 452 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: team there for the last four or five years. We 453 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: thought that they were to make the next jump, but 454 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: they can't get it done. And then Kirk Cousin gets 455 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: outplayed by backup quarterback under two d more good season. 456 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a really nice year so far 457 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins. Just did not have the explosiveness on 458 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: offense in this one for Minnesota. And with that, let's 459 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: move to another game here. We've already talked a little 460 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: bit about Derrick Henry's injury for the Tennessee Titans, and 461 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: there come from behind victory. They were down fourteen, nothing 462 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: like that in this game, but then come back and 463 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: get the win in overtime, improved to three. And oh, 464 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this team is running away with the a 465 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: f C South. You might as well give them the 466 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: crown right now for the Tennessee Titans. But let's look 467 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: at the Colts here for a moment with Carson Wentz, 468 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: who had been very clean turnover category couldn't be into 469 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: this game, but to absolutely can't have it plays talking 470 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: about that throwaway in his own end zone at the 471 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: end of regulation. They were able to overcome that, but 472 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: not the buyer picking out, Yeah, not to buy pick 473 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: two interceptions in the fourth quarter overtime. And what you 474 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: don't like is Kurt because I mean Carson Carson Wentz 475 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: had done a really good job of avoiding the hero 476 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: play right, and Frey Wright always gives him reminded and 477 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: you don't have to do everything. Just trust your teammates. 478 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: Let them do it. To throw the ball left handed 479 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: for an interception, I understand he's about to get the 480 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: safety and he's trying to make a play that doesn't happen. 481 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: And then to go back and throw the interception to 482 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman when there're three guys around, that's tough. That said, 483 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: I won't give up on the Indian afteris Coast because 484 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: they're still built the right way. They have success running 485 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: to football and for the most part, Carson Wentz is 486 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: playing the right way. He just has to avoid the 487 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: temptation to be a hero man. Just get the ball 488 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: out of your hands, managed the game. They do that, 489 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: they win a ton of games. The rookie corner of 490 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: Elijah Molden actually said, as I was listening to Serious 491 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: Sex of NFL radio on my way home that Kevin 492 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: Buyer called that play out before he made that interception, 493 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: like he knew what was coming. He told the Titans 494 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: what was going to happen, and he made it happened. 495 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: That tells you what a great player Kevin Byard is 496 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans, one of their most valuable on defense. 497 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: Let's kick off our lead eight with some building blocks 498 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: for the future here. These can be young players and 499 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: you might see a theme here with some young running backs. 500 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second, but let's start 501 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: with the rams and which you saw from Matthew Stafford 502 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: as a building block. I mean, the number more thing 503 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: that you have to have to be a Super Bowl 504 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: team is a quarterback. When Matthew Stafford has given them 505 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: an m v P caliber quarterback based on the way 506 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: he is playing in Sean mcveigh's offense. When you look 507 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: at this offense play just look at the bottom line. 508 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: Three hundred and nine past years for Dame twenty two touchdowns, 509 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: four interceptions. He has played at the m v P 510 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: level at times with the Lions, but this is a 511 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: different Matthew Stafford. He has the tools and weaponry around him, 512 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 1: and Sean McVeigh is downed up. That's why it has 513 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: been explosive. They are lighting the scoreboard up like the 514 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: pinball machine and another building block for the l A 515 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: M's defense. Recapping breaking news from the top of our 516 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: show here today, Von Miller acquired by the Rams for 517 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: a second third round pick in this coming year's draft, 518 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: bringing him over from the Denver Broncos. Big move for Rams, 519 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: GM less sneed and with that, I'll get you to 520 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: another building block here, and I'm gonna go with one 521 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: of those rookie running backs. Elijah Mitchell for the San 522 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners now becomes just the second forty Niner 523 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: in team history to have second forty Niner, second forty 524 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: Niners rookie, and team histery. With hundred yard rushing performances 525 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: in consecutive weeks, he is now the second leading rookie 526 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: rusher in all of football. Not bad for a sixth 527 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: round pick out of the University of Louisiana, No, not 528 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: bad at all. And I love what he has done 529 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: in the day. I feel like this was getting back 530 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: to business with the running game. Another team that's getting 531 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: back to business with the running game. How about the 532 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and A J. Dillon somewhere in football 533 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: heaven Bess Lombardi is smiling looking at a j Dillon 534 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: run between the Tacos had a hundred yard game against 535 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. But more importantly, he started delivering those 536 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: tones setting runs and so when the Packers selected him 537 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: in the second round, there was a lot of consternation 538 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 1: about not getting Aaron Rodgers a weapon. They did get 539 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: him a weapon. They gave me ground weapon, a tank, 540 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: someone that can run the football to compliment Aaron Jones. 541 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: This could be their best path going forward because in 542 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs is about physicality and toughness. He gives them 543 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: a little edge on offense. We're giving some love to 544 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: some young running backs today. I'm going with another one 545 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: from the New York Jets. Michael Carter, your guy. Yeah, 546 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: it's a heel. Maybe here we go. Career high hundred 547 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: seventy two scrimmage yards for the Jets, rookie runner, seventy 548 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: seven on the ground, added in nine receptions. And it's 549 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: this dual threat ability, this versatility that we loved from 550 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: Michael Carter coming out of U n See, coming into 551 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: this year's draft, and which made him one of the 552 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: top five running backs in this class and will prove 553 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: to be a steel at the top of the fourth 554 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: round in the future for the New York Jets. Leads 555 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: all rookie running backs in scrimmage yards this season. Nice 556 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: building block, hit, Nice building block, and I'm gonna take 557 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: another team in green. How about the Philadelphia Eagles rushing 558 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: for over two hundred yards? We love because the Detroit Lions. 559 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: And what I liked about how Nick Ariana was able 560 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: to get it done. Oh, it was a committee. It 561 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: was everything. We saw Boston Scott have a ton, so 562 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard get a little bit, Jalen Hurt and d 563 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: Reagor took a couple in the rounds. Everyone was It 564 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: was like a big old party. I mean it was Halloween, 565 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: so everyone got a little a little tricker treat candy. 566 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: And this is how the Eagles have to be able 567 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: to do it. Two six rushing yards. You can't get that. 568 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: But when you run the football, he does everything in 569 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: terms of taking the pressure off of your quarterback but 570 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: also helping your defense. As a result, they put at 571 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: a forty burger ups pretty game. They were able to 572 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: play great defense because they controlled the game. Great defense. 573 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: Do you remember when the Carolina Panthers are great remember 574 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: when you and I talked about that. We did a 575 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: whole episode on the NFL Inside Report podcast on it, 576 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: on the roster construction for the Panthers, allowing this this 577 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: great young defense. Well after those first three weeks, they 578 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: really went into the tank. I mean they dropped in 579 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: terms of points per game allowed, in total yard it's 580 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: per game allowed. It was astronomical the fall for the 581 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: Panthers defense. But maybe they are back two hundred thirteen 582 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: total yards allowed, Kyle Pitt's limited to just two receptions 583 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: after going off in recent weeks, the Carolina Panthers defense 584 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: has found something to build on here moving forward, they 585 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: can get Sam Donald healthy enough to get back after 586 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: going into concussion protocol. Here soon, I think this Panthers 587 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: team could still make a run. Yeah, they still can 588 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: make a run. And another team that still can make 589 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: a run with the Seattle Seahawks, if they're going to 590 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: make a run. Yes, Russell Wilson has to come back, 591 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: but the defense has to improve and there's a building 592 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: block on that defense and Quandre Diggs. Once again, d 593 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: Dick got another interception, and so since seventeen and each 594 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: of the years thereafter, he's had at least three interceptions, 595 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: most by any player in the league, the only player 596 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: to do so. And so when I think about this team, 597 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: when the defense is playing well and the legion of Boom, 598 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: who has been very quiet for the last couple of years, 599 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: when they come back, it gives them a chance to 600 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: be really good in this division. The defense has to 601 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: play well for them to close the ground on their right. 602 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: On the other side, Trevor Lawrences leading receiver in this 603 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: game was the tight end right and Dan Arnold, Yes, 604 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: how about a tight end here for a building block 605 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and he's caught tent of Ben Roethlisberger's touchdown 606 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: passes this season. Pat friar Muth with one of the 607 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: catches almost season, coming down with that back in the 608 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: end zone. That was on a fourth and goal. They 609 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: didn't have a kicker to kick a field goal. They 610 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: were downten to nine. They had to go for it 611 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: and he made it count. That touchdown essentially the game 612 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: winner for Pittsburgh. Actually said getting both feet and bounce 613 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: was something he'd been working on in training camp in 614 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: preseason and had been plaguing him coming out of college 615 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: from Penn State. Clearly the time he spent in that 616 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: category has helped him. Pat friar Muth big time building 617 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: block moving forward for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Signed for one 618 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: of our favorite segments of the week. It is our 619 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: Rookie Report. Car Let's lead it off with your guy 620 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, my guy, Trevor Lawrence had a rough outing, 621 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: so I'm going to give him a D. And it 622 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: wasn't all Trevor Lawrences fault. I felt like it was 623 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: just a bad day. But the Jaguars all around couldn't 624 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: get guys to could separate. Uh lost his running back 625 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: very early in the game and James Robinson and so 626 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: they need more big plays out of this offense because 627 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: it's hard to just nickeling down the ball down the 628 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: field and score points. And ultimately, I think, if you're 629 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: sitting in the front office, he needs help. Trevor Lawrence 630 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: needs more weapons, more playmakers. You got a double down 631 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: and invest in a wide receiver position. They simply don't 632 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: have enough for him to go out and get it done. 633 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: Keep in mind Travis Etn lost before the season four 634 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: the season and d J. Chark out for the year 635 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: as well for Jacksonville. All Right, I'll give you my 636 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: notes here on mac Jones. Think ended up giving him 637 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: a B minus here partly because they generated the win. 638 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: But this was his least efficient game in terms of 639 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: those quick throws. Those throws uh within ten yards in 640 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: the air, and just ball placement was a little off here. 641 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: Receivers could have helped him a couple of times, but 642 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't his usual accuracy on those shorter throws. But man, 643 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: when you watch him in the pocket versus the rush, 644 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: such a calm heartbeat and a fast mind. He processes 645 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: so quickly and does not get rattled. Love his pocket 646 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: presence against pressure. Now back to you, Bucky for a 647 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: little justin fields. Okay, the Bears QB one has literally 648 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: come on like Gamebusters. So what I'm gonna do is 649 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B for his efforts against 650 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: and what I love about it is the athleticism. Then 651 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: you see him moving around. It is everything that the 652 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: people on the outside were saying he would give to 653 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: this offense. His mobility, his scrambling ability has added a 654 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: different dimension and he's still a very effective passer. Once 655 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: they figure out the best way to play offense with 656 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: this guy in the center. He has a chance to 657 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: be an All Star. Takes some seasoning and experience from him, 658 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: but it takes a lot of deep digging for this 659 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: offense staff to build a plan that allows him to 660 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: shine at the next level. Love seeing all that movement 661 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: from Justin Fields Man just out like get allowed the bear, 662 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: so many more answers than we've seen in recent weeks. 663 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: Look at him role. Okay, let's look at Mike White 664 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: in his first career start doing it for the Jets, 665 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: for the injured Zach Wilson, and man did he have 666 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: a day against the Bengals played over of his passes. 667 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: He had two early interceptions, maybe not all on him 668 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: off a couple of deflections, but man did he rebound 669 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: through three touchdowns, including the eventual game winner to Tyler 670 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: Croft and a near one eight passer rating Bucky. He's 671 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: just the second quarterback since nineteen fifty to throw for 672 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: over four hundred yards in his debut. What did he 673 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: do so well for this Jets offense that we get 674 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: to see really this season? Well, here's the thing. Mike 675 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: Why has been around a lot of football for a while. 676 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: He was drafted in eighteen. He's spent two seasons on 677 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: the Jets practice squad before we getting a chance to 678 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: make the team this year, and so all of those 679 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: reps that experience allows him to play fast. Going back 680 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: to college, he spent five years in college, three years 681 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: as a starter, so he's played a lot of football. 682 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: And so when I look at what they're doing, he 683 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: is simply just managing the offense, taking the check down, 684 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: taking the plays that are they're easy plays, easy pitch 685 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: and catch. And then the Jets did a great job 686 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: of using some of the simple concepts that our staples 687 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: of Kyle Shanahan's systems back in Yeah, and Michael Floor, 688 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, up in the booth this week, maybe 689 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: that helps kind of clarify things offensively as well. A 690 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,719 Speaker 1: porterly Zack Wilson up there right next to him too. 691 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: So hey, your Super Bowl fifty n VP is on 692 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: the move. The Rams acquiring another veteran superstar ahead of 693 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: Tuesday's trade deadline, acquiring Von Miller from the Broncos for 694 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: a second and third round pick in this coming year's draft. 695 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: So the Rams again pulling off a big move. Let's 696 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: get some other trade deadline deals that we could see 697 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: happening here, or at least that we would like to 698 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: see happening what you got. But oh look, I'm gonna 699 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: go right off the top, and I believe the green 700 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: Bay package. You make a move to get Odell Beckham Jr. 701 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: To put alongside Davanta Adams. And I know the money 702 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: may look funny, but if you have an opportunity to 703 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: get an explosive rout runner like Odell Beckham Jr. And 704 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: pairing with what I call a legitimate quarterback, high end quarterback, 705 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: something that he hasn't add, oh yeah, it would give 706 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: him a chance to release show his talents. You put 707 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: him opposite Davante Adams, he gets more one on ones 708 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: and then the Odell Beckham Jr. That we're longing to see. 709 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: I think that number thirteen shows up in Green Bay. Yeah, 710 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I love it. I mean what had 711 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: just one catch in this last game for Cleveland for 712 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: six yards? Now, given he's been dealing with a shoulder injury, 713 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: just from a realistic standpoint, wonder how that would hold 714 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: up any potential deal for O B J. But I 715 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: love the philosophical fit and what that would do for 716 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. And look, the Packers have been bringing in 717 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: veteran players left and right. You go back to Jalen Smith, 718 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless. So I don't know, maybe it's not that 719 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: far fetched bucking like we're hands out here. I'm gonna 720 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: go with one that maybe is a little less star quality. 721 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: But given the news today that Derrick Henry is having 722 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: surgery on a foot injury that he suffered in this 723 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: latest win from the Titans against the Colts, thinking they 724 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: might need to bolster that backfield a little. And if 725 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson isn't the guy going in for a workout 726 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: with the Titans this week, maybe Mike Davis would be 727 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: available for the Atlanta Falcons has been a real serviceable 728 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 1: runner for teams in the past, and Cordarrel Patterson really 729 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 1: seems to have established himself as kind of the number 730 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: one option out of the backfield, both you know, on 731 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: the ground and through the air. So wonder if Tennessee 732 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: could strike a deal, probably take some sort of conditional 733 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: pick light round to get Mike Davis out of Atlanta. Yeah, look, 734 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: Mike Davis would certainly be a nice addition to the 735 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans because they need a physical power run and 736 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: someone they can get downhill, someone that can make the 737 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: opponent put other dudes in the box, because then we 738 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: talk about Julio Jones, a J. Brown being able to 739 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: get loose on the outside. But it starts with having 740 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: a Bi Kyle running back, one that you have to 741 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: respect and respect him by putting another defender in the box. 742 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: All right, So those you know, some of those things 743 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: might end up being fantasy. But in reality, what does 744 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: the trade conversation look like in front offices? How does 745 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: scouts play a role? Well, I mean scouts play a 746 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: role in terms of the gentle manager will come down 747 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: and ask the scouts how he feels about certain players. 748 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: What does the draft class look like? If we're going 749 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: to jettison this player at this position, can we get 750 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: it back in spades in the next draft? And so 751 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: you're working knowledge of what's going on in your area 752 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: as a college scout is one way. As a pro scout, 753 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about trade values and those things. You're more 754 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: in the loop because you're in the building each and 755 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: every day. So there's one of those situations where you 756 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: try and lean into people's expertise to get a full 757 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: picture of what the landscape will look like after you 758 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: make this move and after you may lose a key 759 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: member of your team. Exactly right. We already saw one 760 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: deal get done today, Rams acquiring von Miller as backup 761 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: quarterbacks apparently dressing up a Superstars on Halloween. Cooper Rush, 762 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, Trevor Simeon, Mike White among the four quarterbacks 763 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: the engineer victories for their teams on your Week eight 764 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: Sunday Love QB two is getting some love here. Now 765 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: here's the thing, especially in the Saints case, you saw 766 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon come in off the bench for the injured 767 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, it doesn't necessarily mean he's the best guy 768 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: for the job moving forward though, right, because there's a 769 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: difference coming off the bench and then preparing like that's 770 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: a difference, and coming off the bench, you're in game. 771 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: The opponent doesn't have a game plan for you, He 772 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: hasn't seen you. They're trying to figure out who's in 773 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: the game, what do they like to do? And unless 774 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: you've played previously, you don't have enough film to really 775 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: compile a game plan. But if you've been the guy 776 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: that are starting a few games and then that film 777 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: circulations around the league, when now you're asking the backup 778 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: quarterback to elevate his game and he's never had enough 779 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: reps or practice time to really refine his game. And 780 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: so we will see what it looks like for these 781 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: four guys going forward to because the playing field wasn't 782 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: level for all of them. We'll see who was able 783 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: to maintain their how level the play and which other 784 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: ones fall off. And little hat tip to Gino Smith 785 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: for getting his first victory and what like seven years 786 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, Gino said, look done, this is who I am. 787 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: He finally was a runabout team, got a squad headed up, 788 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: played pretty well. It So excited for Geno Smill, We'll 789 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: see you can keep going. I love it. For Bucky Brooks, 790 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 1: I am Rhett Louis. We'll get DJ back next Monday 791 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: and probably later this week on the Move the six Podcast. 792 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being with us. We'll catch the 793 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: same place that same time next week
