It'd be interesting 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: to get his take on some of the guys that 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: we worked together with doing they lead aleven process. Yeah, 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: kind of, let's well a little progress report here on 22 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: some of these young rookie NFL quarterbacks and maybe get 23 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: a glimpse of what's to come here in this next 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: quarterback class. Looking forward to that conversation there with Jordan Palmer. 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: But we've got to start things off as we always 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: do Buck at this time of the week, and that's 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: going through each game the NFL weekend ready, well, yeah, 28 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: before before we even get there, because the first game 29 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about would be the Saints in the Bengals. 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: But I want to get your take on what do 31 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: you think about the Dad's Bryant signing at this time 32 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: of the year, Like, how do you think it impacts 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: the Saints. Have you ever been a part when you're 34 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: at Baltimore Field? Did you ever sign a VET in 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: the middle of the season to kind of push you 36 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: over the top? Yeah, I can't remember. You know, this 37 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: is kind of a new development. I think seeing this 38 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: much movement, and obviously Dez Bryant wasn't a trade, it 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: was a signing, But seeing this much movement, uh, in 40 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: the middle of the NFL season, I think that's relatively new. 41 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: Over the last couple of years, you used to see 42 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: much of that, but to me, this is uh, you know, 43 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's I don't know if there's 44 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: six teams that Dez Bryant could go to and have 45 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: a big time impact. I really I believe that. But 46 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: I do think there's a couple of teams that fit 47 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: him beautifully and he can have an impact, and this 48 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: is definitely one of them. Because what is the knock 49 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you've said it numerous times, a knock on 50 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: Dez Bryant as he doesn't create any separation, So you 51 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: need to be playing with somebody that's ridiculously accurate because 52 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of space and he can 53 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: make contested catch as well. Who's better at placing the 54 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: football maybe in the history of the NFL than Drew Brees. 55 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: So I think, to me, this is the the perfect 56 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: spot for him, and I expect him to be successful. 57 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: I think you'd be a big success in New Orleans. 58 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: There are a couple of things that I think um 59 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: at play for the New Orleans Saints. When I was 60 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, Ron Wolf always kind of had like 61 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: a veteran, a whole card that he would keep in 62 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: his pocket that he would bring on board right after 63 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: the trade deadline. When I was in Green Bay, he 64 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: had brought in Andre Risen late on a Super Bowl 65 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: run in ninety six. He also he brought in other 66 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: veterans like Mark Collins and guys that he would just 67 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: bring in kind of as the designated hitter. Not necessarily 68 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: that you needed him to get over the top, but 69 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: sometimes in the playoff game, a veteran player can come 70 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: in and make a play that could be the difference. 71 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: When I look at the Saints and I look at 72 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: how they're trending, They're coming off a big win versus 73 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: the l A. Rams. But Sean Payton has enough foresight 74 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: to think about the teams that he'll have to match 75 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: up with in the playoffs and maybe in the Super Bowl, 76 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: and know that on offense they may need a little 77 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: more firepower because you have Michael Thomas, you have Kamar 78 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: and Ingram, but really beyond that, they're a bunch of unknowns. Yes, 79 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: you have Benjamin Watson, but Benjamin Watson is thirty seven 80 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: years old. Can he be a major factor when teams 81 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: really start to clamp in and hone in on what 82 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: you do. Bringing Dez Bryant gives them a guy that 83 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: at his best maybe he's the third option UM, a 84 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: guy that can win in the slot, and they can 85 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: create some things. But really, with a great quarterback and 86 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Drew Brees and a great schemer and Sean Payton, I 87 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: think they still can elevate Dez Bryant despite his deficiencies. 88 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: To me, I look at this as a move that 89 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: could have the potential of what Larry Fitzgerald has been 90 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: able to do in his later years. Going to the 91 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: slide creates some opportunities for him to be productive despite 92 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: his skills declining. I really liked the move for the Saints, 93 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: and I really liked the move for Dez Brian because 94 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: I think he went to one of the only spots 95 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: that were a great fit for where he is in 96 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: his career. I agree with you completely. The other thing 97 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: that we ought to look at here is when you 98 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: look at Michael Thomas and how big and physical he is, 99 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: you think about the run game, You think about wide 100 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: receivers being able to body up corners and really impact 101 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: the run game. Does Bryant one of the biggest, strongest 102 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers we've seen over the last decade. So if 103 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: he's committed, if he's committed in an all in and 104 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: can help you just as as a blocker. With him 105 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas out there, you're not gonna find two bigger, 106 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: more physical wide receivers in the run game, so you 107 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: can have an impact there as well. Yeah, I think 108 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: it goes to the thing. The one thing that came 109 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: out when you looked at the tape of this game. 110 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: They were more physical than the Rams. Like they took 111 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: it to the Rams in terms of their physicality and toughness. 112 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: Dead offensive line is probably the best offensive line in football. 113 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: You had another physical player and Dez Bryant. It continues 114 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: to kind of go to that identity of what they're 115 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: trying to create because as much as a let's as 116 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: we talk about Drew Brees in the passing game, at 117 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is a balanced team 118 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: that can lean on the running game when they need 119 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: to win games. All right, well, let's let's get right 120 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: to it. Then, first game one that does Brian will 121 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: be playing in, say set Bengals. This is a big 122 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: one for the Saints. I mean, coming off the big 123 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: emotional win over the Rams, this is not an easy 124 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: one to go on the road take on the Cincinnati Bengals. 125 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: And I know A J. Green is not playing here, Buck, 126 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: but for this Saints team, to me, I think it's 127 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: imperative they get off to a hot start here, get 128 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: get on the Bengals early. Um, you get a little 129 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: bit of a tendency coming off that emotional game, kind 130 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: of sleepwalk through the first quarter. Now, you don't want 131 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: to do that. Even without a J. Green, this offense 132 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: can put up some points, so I don't think you 133 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: want to get in the whole early on on the 134 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: road against Cincinnati. I think a hot start will be 135 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: key for the Saints. Yeah, this is a big game 136 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Saints. Um. We talked about teams 137 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: being able to show the maturity they have to take 138 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: care of business on the road. Big emotional win against 139 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: the Elie Rams, and then you come back and play 140 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: a Cincinnati Bengals team that has been kind of sitting 141 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: at home after the by I think this is one 142 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: where Tyler Boyd will get an opportunity to be the 143 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: number one playmaker that he thinks he can be. I 144 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: look for Andy Dalton to kind of find a way 145 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: to target Tyler Boyd. We've seen him working side in 146 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: the slot. He has really been a handful for people 147 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: trying to defend him. I think this is a game 148 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: where he has to get eight to ten touches and 149 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: then lean on Joe Mix And if they do that, 150 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: I think the Bengals can get a surprise and win 151 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: because I do believe the Saints may be right for 152 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: being picked Falcons that Browns well. This is all about 153 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: speed for me with the Falcons, and it's about speed 154 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. You know they 155 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: had those injuries early on in the year. You lose 156 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: a Kian O'Neil uh, you lose a Deon Jones. Good 157 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: news is Dion Jones gonna be coming back here before 158 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: too long. And I love the addition that they made 159 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: once the Raiders decided to move on from Bruce Irv 160 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: and I I kind of identified this team thinking about it. 161 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: This is a perfect fit for him. Go with a 162 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: defensive coach and dan Quinn we has a familiarity with, 163 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: but go there where they appreciate speed. When you have 164 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: Vic b easily Tach McKinley and now you're throwing a 165 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: Bruce Irvin. Uh, this is a team again get the 166 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: lead early with your explosive offense and then be able 167 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: to rush the pastor with a whole lot of speed. 168 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see what this h this new edition 169 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: looks like. Here for the Falcons defense, I love to 170 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: move for the Atlanta Falcons defense, Bruce Irvin um fits 171 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: a nice role that they have available on their team. 172 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: They have those pass rushags that you talked about, Tach McKinley. 173 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: You never bring in Bruce Irvin. You have Vic Beasley, 174 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: you have all these guys that can kind of rush 175 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: the passage to think about him, they all kind of 176 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: build the same. They can't be necessarily every down players 177 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: that play all sixty minutes, but you can't rotate those 178 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: guys in for the Browns, it's all about trying to 179 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: find a way to make Baker Mayfield more efficiently, more effective. 180 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: You gotta protect him. You got these young offensive tackles 181 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: that are having a tough time that pass for us, 182 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: and when the Falcons heat him up, it can make 183 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: it tough. And then for Baker Mayfield is taking care 184 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: of the ball. We've kind of hit that rookie low 185 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: where now he's had enough tape, teams are beginning to 186 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: adjust to what they're doing. How does he find a 187 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: way to have success. He knows he can't outrun him. 188 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: He has to be a a throw from the pocket, 189 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: and really picked this team apart Lions that Bears. Well, 190 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try and be too creative on this one. 191 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious. You give up ten sacks 192 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: the week before, you better play better along the offensive 193 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: line if you're the Detroit Lions. Now, going back through 194 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: and and and watching that sack reel of of the 195 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: ten sacks, they gave up nine of the ten sacks 196 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: with the four man rush, that just can't happen if 197 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: you're the Lions. Also, Matthew Stafford holding on the ball 198 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: a little bit too long at times, so established the 199 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: run in this football game, they're gonna have to keep 200 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: a tight end and they're gonna have to keep back 201 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna have to to max protect and keep 202 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: Stafford upright. They just they can't go into it saying 203 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna have our five block here four. They've proven 204 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: they can't do that last week against a very good 205 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota front, and they're going to see a good front 206 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: here in the Bears. They're gonna see a really good 207 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: friend and for the Bears. I think this is all 208 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: about their defense, as much as we want to make 209 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: the Bears make the story about their offense and what 210 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: Matt Naggi has done to really help the quarterback. This 211 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: team is built on their defense, and when their defense 212 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: plays well, they have a chance in every game. This 213 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: is a big game for them because it's a division 214 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: of game, is a game that is at home. It 215 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: is a game that I think that they should win. 216 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: I want to see what the defense looks like if 217 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: that defense comes to play. I think the Bears marched 218 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: to another win. Cardinals at Cheeps alright, Buck. Every day 219 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: when I drive home, I see a big billboard, um 220 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: and it's uh all different concerts that are coming up 221 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: in the area, right and the one that I saw. 222 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: It's always like people that are kind of on that 223 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: BC celebrity list right now, maybe on the back side 224 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: of their careers. One up there right now is Paula Abdul, 225 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: apparently Paul since she still travels. Uh. And there is 226 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: a point here to talking about Paul Abdul because the 227 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and Josh Rosen specifically have to avoid the 228 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Paula abdual syndrome because they just took two steps forward, Buck, 229 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: but they can't take the can't take two steps. So 230 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: that's what needs to happen here. Let's keep it wrong. 231 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: We've seen Josh Rosens to get into a little bit 232 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: of rhythm, gain some confidence a lot of times Brookie quarterbacks. 233 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: It is that roller coaster ride. Let's see if he 234 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: can avoid taking that step back here. It's a roundabout 235 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: way to get there, but trust me, it's worth it. 236 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: I mean you kind of get there. I mean I 237 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: dig it when you were young. I mean, straight up 238 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: now tell me I do, but but I do like it. Um. 239 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: I think in this one we can talk about the 240 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: Cardinals making progress, but I just don't know how they're 241 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: gonna slow down this Chief's offense. I think this is 242 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: another test. The Chiefs are playing at home. They expected 243 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: to win. They probably win by a bunch. Can Pat 244 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: my Homes and the rest of his crew keep their 245 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: foot on the gas and he Read has done a 246 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: great job of getting off the quick starts on these teams. 247 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: The Cardinals have a tough time scoring. So look for 248 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: that opening script that first twelve to fifteen plays to 249 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: feature a bunch of plays for them to try and 250 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: put fourteen points on the board. I think it's just 251 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: a matter of Pat Mahomes dealing the cars, Tyreek Hill, 252 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: Sammy Why Cans, Travis Kelsey, Kareem Hunt, letting those guys 253 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: make plays. When he does that, he just kind of 254 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: stays in rhythm. I think this machine rolls. I love 255 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: with the chiefs of bringing. I think it continues. Patriots 256 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: at Titans, Oh, here we go. This is the Patriots 257 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: versus the former Patriots uh in this one. And to me, 258 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: the key for the Patriots going on the road to 259 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: take on the Titans team, a Titans team that, by 260 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: the way, at home as beating the Philadelphia Eagles, we 261 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: saw them just go on the road and pick up 262 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: a winning It's the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys team coming 263 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: off of bye, that had two weeks to prepare for him. 264 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: So you better show up. You can't just roll your 265 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: helmets out there and hope you're gonna get out there 266 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: and win the football game. That's not gonna happen. And 267 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: I would say the key for the Patriots is stopping 268 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: one of their former teammates in Dion Lewis. I think, 269 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: to me, he's kind of the engine that makes this 270 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: offense go. Um, We've seen Derrick Henry, you know, run 271 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: a little bit better recently. But to me, the guy 272 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: that that you have a little bit of fear of 273 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: is Dion Lewis. What he does running the football in 274 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: the perimeter, what he does in the passing game, particularly 275 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: in the screen game, is something you gotta slow down. 276 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: If you're the Patriots, Yeah, it is something that you 277 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: definitely have to slow down. Uh. Dean Lewis is a 278 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: big factor in their in their offense, and I think 279 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: the bigger thing has been Marcus Mariota appears to be 280 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: kind of finding his way in Matt la Flour's offense. 281 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: The last couple of games. He's completed over seventy percent 282 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: of his passes in both of those games, three to 283 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: one touchdown the interception ratio, and we're beginning to see 284 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: him use his legs more. In the last two games, 285 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: You've seen seventeen Russian attempts for Marcus Mariota. And I'm 286 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: not saying that they should run him extensively, but they 287 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: should allow him be the player that we all saw 288 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: at Oregon as he begins to figure out and figure 289 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: out his groove, his rhythm, within this offense, I think 290 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: he can challenge him. I don't know if the Titans 291 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: have enough fire party to do it, but I do 292 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: believe defensively they can make this game very, very competitive. 293 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be on number eight. Marcus Mariota has to 294 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: make enough plays to push him over the top. We'll 295 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: see if you can get it done. Redskins that Buccaneers. 296 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: I'll stick with the music theme here, Buck and I'll 297 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: go with eminem my name is, because that's what needs 298 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: to happen with this Redskins offensive line. They better wear 299 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: name tags. Man, they have so many injuries, there are 300 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: so many new faces getting plugged into the starting lineup. 301 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: I just man, I know they they've got a gift 302 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: and that they're playing the Bucks, who are not very 303 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: good defensively, But man, I don't know. That's just that 304 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: seems like it's too much upfront with the injuries. They've 305 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: had to be able to put it together in a 306 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: short amount of time to get that running game where 307 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: it needs to be, because you know, passing wise, this 308 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: is not the most explosive offense for the Redskins, and 309 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: you have to figure that the Buccaneers on the other 310 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: side Uh, they gotta put up some points, as they 311 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: always do. So this is a This is a tough 312 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: one for the Redskins. It is a tough one for 313 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: the Washington Ridskins because for them to win offensively, they 314 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: have to be able to run the ball. They have 315 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: to control it. Uh, they can't necessarily put in Alexman's 316 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: hands and and make him throw it thirty five forty 317 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: forty five times. That's not how they bill, That's not 318 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: how they constructed. However, they're playing a team that can 319 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: put the ball in the air and they can be 320 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: very very effective if Ryance Fitzpatrick is hot. This is 321 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: an offense that is hard to slow down. I think 322 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: this is a scary game for the Washington Riskins because 323 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kind of challenge and threatened what 324 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: they don't necessarily do well, and that has defend on 325 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: the perimeter. Josh Newman is gonna have his hands full 326 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: with de Sean Jackson and Mike Evans. I don't like 327 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: this matchup for the Washington Risk guys. Bills that Jets, well, 328 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of mystery here. See who's gonna 329 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: play quarterback for the Buffalo Bill has been a carousel there. 330 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. One thing we do know on 331 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: the other side the Jets, Uh, Sam Donald with a 332 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: little foot sprain, so he's not gonna be out there. 333 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: We'll see Josh McCown. And I think you know the 334 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: way both these teams have played recently. You say the 335 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: first one to what fourteen, get the fourteen points, and 336 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: you win the football game. I mean, has not been 337 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: exciting to watch here with these two offenses. But I'll 338 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: say the key here for the Bills just don't turn 339 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: the ball over. Make this Jets offense, even though I 340 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: think they'll be a little bit more productive with the 341 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: veteran and Josh McCown. Uh, make this offense travel the 342 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: length of the field, no no turnovers, no short fields. 343 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: And I think you try and keep this thing low 344 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: scoring and close at the end of For the Buffalo Bills. 345 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a great strategy for the 346 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The probably is one of the quarterbacks is 347 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: gonna eventually have to play and he's gonna have to ball. 348 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: Typically when one of their quarterbacks throws the ball, that 349 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: goes in the other direction. For the New York Jests, 350 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: I think the game plan is the same. Don't give 351 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills anything cheap, take care of the ball, 352 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: don't don't give him anything underneath. Make them drive the 353 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: length the field because typically they don't have enough fire 354 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: power to be able to score. This is a game 355 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: where turnovers will be the deciding factor. Both defenses are 356 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: about the same. It really comes down to quarterback play 357 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: and who takes care of the ball. I trust that 358 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: Josh McCown will take care of the ball better than 359 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the guys on the other side, Jaguars that Colts. This 360 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: to me is all about the Jacks defense and uh 361 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: and slowing down Andrew Luck. I believe Andrew Luck. I 362 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: think six and two all time against Jackson Ali He's 363 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: done a nice job playing against that football team. But 364 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: I think this defense has a lot of pride. This 365 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: season has not gone the way they would like. And 366 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: even though the Colts offensive line, you can make a 367 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: case buck the most improved group in the NFL. I 368 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: have the Jaguars defensive line gets after him a little 369 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: bit in this game. I think that's gonna be something 370 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: to watch that match up. Their D line working against 371 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: that coltsal line. I mean, yeah, they don't have to 372 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: worry by that. It was funny. I was trying to 373 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: be cute because I was like, it's the return of 374 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: the Mac that we're thinking about songs and themes or whatever. 375 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: But but Marlin Marlon Mack has been the biggest emergence. 376 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: The guys had back to back one hundred yard games. 377 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: He is giving this offense a little balance. And you 378 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: talked about the offensive line being able to kind of 379 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage. They've been able to do that. 380 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,359 Speaker 1: The big thing besides Mac Andrew Luck in the efficiency 381 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: of the passing game. Everyone thinks about this being the 382 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: old Andrew Lucky wants to throw it down the field. No, 383 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: they are really killing you with the paper cuts. Eric 384 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: Ebron has been a big factor. All of their tight 385 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: ends have been factors. I think for them they have 386 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: the luxury of being able to avoid the sticky coverage 387 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: on the outside work from inside out. I like this 388 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: game for the Colts. I think they get a chance 389 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: to move on Chargers at Raiders. Well, keep you this 390 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: one for the Chargers. I'll be they're looking at this game, Buck, 391 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: and to me, it comes down to really tackling. I 392 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: mean this Raider's offense is not a vertical offense. Car 393 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: wants to get the ball out of hands quickly. He 394 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: is gonna get the ball out underneath, and then you've 395 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: got a rally and tackle. And one of the things 396 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: I think that goes underrated and and Derwin James is 397 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: I got a chance to be defensive rookie the year. 398 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: And we've seen the sacks and we've seen the interceptions. 399 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: But to me, what he's done in one on one 400 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: situations as an open field tackler has been probably his 401 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: best trade. Just a reliable tackler in space. And that's 402 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the case here for this entire secondary because 403 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: the ball is gonna come out early. Um. This offensive 404 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: line for the Raiders is not good. They're not gonna 405 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: trust them to hold up to push the ball vertically 406 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: down the field. So balls going to backs, balls going 407 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: to tight ends. You have got to rally to the 408 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: football and tackle well. I think if the Chargers tackle well, 409 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: I like their chances in this one. I mean I 410 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: like their chances as well, because I don't know how 411 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders compose much of a threat when I look 412 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: at this team, I mean, I don't know who scares you. 413 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: On either side of the ball. They don't have many playmakers. 414 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: You have a quarterback in Deiry car who can make 415 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: some things happened, but he doesn't have any weapons on 416 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: the outside. So I think they will have a tough 417 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: time scoring. And then defensively, how are they're gonna keep 418 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: open high powered, explosive offense that not only has the 419 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: ability to throw it all over the yard, but they 420 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: can run it. Uh. This is a bad matchup for 421 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. It really comes down to the emotional 422 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: maturity of the Charges. Can they take care of business? 423 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: Because they had to write mosset, I don't think the 424 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders can stay on the field with them. Seahawks 425 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: at Rams. Look, I understand this year with the Seattle Seahawks, 426 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: the goal has been to keep Russell Wilson healthy, not 427 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: haven't unleashed him as a runner. They've run the ball 428 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: good with their backs. But this is a game against 429 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: the Rams, and I know the Seahawks defense has been better, Buck, 430 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: but the Rams are gonna score points. They're at home, 431 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna put up some points. So to me, this 432 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: is an all hands on deck game. I mean, okay, 433 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: not only Russell Wilson have to throw the ball a 434 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: little bit more than you'd like. I think you have 435 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: to cut him loose as a runner, make him a 436 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: threat as a runner. There was a couple of times 437 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: last week against the Chargers where they have this you know, 438 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: they play with six offensive lineman a lot which orange fan. 439 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: They have this set where they go two by two 440 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: and they split out as wide as they can get 441 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: and they try and lighten up the box and then 442 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: they were just running some inside runs. Uh there. I 443 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: would like to see them do that same thing, do 444 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: some zone read because now you've got a light box 445 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: and it's tough to account for a quarterback in that situation. 446 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: So I look for them to be I think if 447 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a chance, I would look for them 448 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: to be a little more creative and a little more aggressive. 449 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a one time only deal, but in this game, 450 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be competitive, I gotta believe Russell Wilson 451 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: has to use his legs. Yeah, he has to use everything. 452 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: This is a I think this is a must win 453 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: game for the Seattle Seahawks um, especially way the playoff 454 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: race is shaping up. They don't want to fall out. 455 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: The four and five could be tough for them to 456 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of climb out of the hole. For l A. Rams, 457 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: it is all about the bounce back game. They talked 458 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: about the pressure being off and then they're not chasing 459 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: the undefeated season. Can they clean up some of the 460 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: issues that showed up in the dow on the Saints game. 461 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: The defense and in particular Marcus Peters, that secondary got 462 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: to make sure they show it up. You have to 463 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: anticipate the Seattle Seahawks will kind of test them and 464 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: see if they can get some of their our receivers 465 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: opened down the field. I just like the Rams. I 466 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: think they kind of get it back on track offensively. 467 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: I think they put the pressure on the Seahawks by 468 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: running at them and seeing if their Seattle defense is 469 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: good enough to stop Todd Gurley Dolphins that Packers. This 470 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: to me comes down to the Dolphins buck and in 471 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: which defense is gonna show up. Now. I know, uh 472 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: Jets offense not very good, but that was a great 473 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: effort picking off Sam Donald four times last week. They 474 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: hold the Jets to six points. But you go back 475 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: to two previous weeks give up forty two to the Texans, 476 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: You give up thirty two to the Lions, So I 477 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: don't know which defense is gonna show up in this one. Uh, well, 478 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: we'll see. That's gonna be huge against the Packers team. 479 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: I think this is a winnable game for the Dolphins, 480 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: who are are kind of sneaky here at five and four. 481 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance to go in there 482 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: and sneak out a win against this Packers group. But 483 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: to me, this defense has to show what they showed 484 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: last week, which was an aggressive ball hawking performance. Yeah, 485 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: this is a who are you game for me when 486 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: it comes to the Green Bay Packers, who are they? 487 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: What's their identity? How are they gonna elect to play 488 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Is this an opportunity for 489 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy to put it all on Aaron Rodgers and say, 490 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: look and run with it. Do whatever it is you 491 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: want to do on offense in terms of going no huddle, 492 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: controlling the game from the line of scrimmage, or does 493 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: he try and still play a little more balanced, try 494 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: to run the ball, try to do some of the 495 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: things that we all on the outside was suggest that 496 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: the Packers need to do. This is a critical situation 497 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. In most of those situations, 498 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: they typically lean on number twelve. I think this is 499 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: a number twelve game. Aaron Rodgers would dictate the terms. 500 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: I think when he dictates the terms, they're the best. 501 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: I think the Packers win because Aaron Rodgers is gonna 502 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: have a magical game. Hello Cowboys that Eagles. Oh, it's 503 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: a tough one for the Dallas Cowboys, a team that's 504 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: really reeling here at three and five, and uh, I'd 505 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: say it's a must win game, right. They can't afford 506 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: to go to three and six if they have an 507 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: ask races and getting into the postseason. And this is 508 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: a team clearly felt they were postseason worthy. You don't 509 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: go out and make that trade for Marie Cooper unless 510 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: you think you've got a chance to to get into 511 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: the postseason. So there is a lot on the line 512 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: here for the Dallas Cowboys, and I'm anxious to see 513 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: what what what are they gonna do style wise against 514 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Offensively, they're gonna come out and try 515 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: and spread you out and throw it all over the yard. 516 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: Are they're gonna come out and established the run with 517 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: Ezeko Elliott? To me, I think that's what this game 518 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: is for them if they're going to be successful. It 519 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: is a physical line of scrimmage game. They have to 520 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: establish that early. Get the run game going right away. Yeah, 521 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: they have to get the run game going right away. 522 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: They have to find a way to put Dak Prescott 523 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: in his comfort zone. They have to really not even 524 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: take about Dak Prescott. This has to be about your 525 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: best players. Has to be about Zekiel Ezeka. Ellett needs 526 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: touch the ball thirty times, so if they do that, 527 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: they have an opportunity. Phil The field different Eagles is personal. 528 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey basically said, um, how the Eagles feel about 529 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, how they feel about their fans, how 530 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: they feel about this division rivalry. I think because of that, 531 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: we will get a heightened performance from the Philadelfia Eagles. 532 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: They will be focused, they will be intent on not 533 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: only knocking off the Dallas Cowboys, but getting back on track. 534 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: And really the day abew of Golden Takete is something 535 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: that I'm excited about. How will Golden to be integrated 536 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: into this offense. He's a catcher one especialist. He's a 537 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: perfect fit for their R P O game. Let's see 538 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: how the Eagles elected use him because he can help 539 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz play at even a higher level than he's 540 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: played this far. Giants at forty Niners. To me, for 541 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: the Giants, this is uh, this is all about Eli 542 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: Manning and Buck I do believe he does not play 543 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: well that might be it for him with the New 544 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: York Giants as their starting quarterback. As bad as they've 545 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: been offensively, there's some pressure on him going on the 546 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: road here against a bad let's be honest, a bad 547 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: forty Niners team as well, but one that's coming off 548 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: of a big win over the Oakland Raiders. So uh, 549 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: to me, all eyes are on Eli Manning. Get the 550 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: ball out of your hands. I think you're gonna see 551 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley. I'll make a prediction. Uh, se Kwon 552 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: bark is gonna catch eight nine ten balls in this game. 553 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna try and get him the ball out in 554 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: space and and let him go. But this game, to me, 555 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: all comes down to Eli Manning. This this is a 556 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: big one for him. It is a big one Eli Manning, 557 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean, because all eyes are on him. Everyone is 558 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: looking at what he has around him in terms of 559 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: the personnel and you're hoping that he can play better. 560 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: He needs to be able to outplay the guy on 561 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: the other side. When I look for the fort is. 562 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: We can talk about the offense and the great job 563 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: to Cal Shanahan has done with any and all quarterbacks 564 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: with it, but I think comes under the defense. Their 565 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: defense has played surprisingly well. This defense should be able 566 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: to get after Eli Manning. I think the defense will 567 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: end up being the story when we look at this 568 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: game coming on Tuesday. All right, but I'm excited for 569 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: our next guest. Someone's been on the show multiple times. 570 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: Here a good friend of the program, Jordan Palmer, joining 571 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: us right now and JP, how you doing man, I'm 572 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: doing great. I'm doing great. How are you guys doing good? Good? Good? Good? 573 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: Doing good? One thing we uh, one thing we're always 574 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: focusing on, as you know, always take a look at 575 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. And nobody better to have on to talk 576 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: about him than you. I wanted to, uh first of all, 577 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: to jump into some of these rookies what you've seen 578 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: from I know, UH. Sam Jarald's got a little bit 579 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: of a foot injury, so he looks like he's gonna 580 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: be down for a little bit. Uh, what have you 581 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: seen from Sam this far the season? You know, I 582 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: think with Sam, UM, I think you've seen a lot 583 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: of us expected, which is a lot of poise, UM 584 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: short term memory in terms of mistakes, which are inevitable 585 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: for young guys. Um. And and we've also seen some 586 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: some mistakes. I'm a big believer that UM, for quarterbacks 587 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: DNY level, there's certain interceptions that you gotta throw to 588 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: know that you can't throw that ball. If you can 589 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: get those things out of the way on the year 590 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: like this, then UM, I think he's trending in the 591 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: right direction. Yeah. And and and to that point, you know, 592 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: like with young quarterbacks just in general, do you feel 593 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: like it's better to put a lot on a young 594 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: quarterback's play right away to kind of see what it 595 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: eventually can handle. Or do you think quarterbacks that jump 596 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: into systems that a little more simplistic, that a little 597 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 1: more remedial, benefit from maybe having some early success even 598 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: though they're not being challenged to do it at an 599 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: advanced level. Yeah. I think it's a great question, and 600 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: I think it's it's pretty specific that and I apologize 601 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: I got my baby in the test that UM, I 602 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: think it's specific to the uh uh to the situation. 603 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: So for example, two years ago with the Shawn Watson, 604 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: that's a team that could win last year. I mean 605 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: obviously they did. That's that's a team where, man, we 606 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: got a great defense, we got a great white out, 607 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: we have a lot of things in place. Um, you know, 608 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: we we've gotta we gotta push this quarterback and just 609 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: give him to help us win these games. When you 610 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: look at Sam and Josh are in situations where it's 611 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: all about developing, and that team is not winning a 612 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: lot of games, and that's there's not all the pieces 613 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: with then, um, I think it's about getting him as 614 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: much experience as possible. And it just depends on the situation. 615 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: What year is that xam on his contract, what's the 616 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: coaching situation, how news that stuff? How far away are 617 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: they And when you look at Sam and you look 618 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: at Josh, and I think you look at Josh Rosen 619 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: as well, those are not teams that are built to 620 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: win right now. Uh and and so it's in my experience, 621 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: it's get him as much rest as much experience as 622 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: you can, alright, so and and and thinking about like 623 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: you know this Shaun Watson fact, because you talked about 624 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: Deshaun in his first year, they wanted to win, and 625 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: so it seemed like they just kind of made a 626 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: radical overhaul in their offense. But when you look at 627 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: the Seawan early in the year, people were win. What's 628 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: going on? What's wrong with Deshaun? What is it about 629 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson that allows him to bounce back from tough moments, 630 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: to eventually figure it out and then to become a 631 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: player no matter what he's playing in. Yeah, I think 632 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: with DeShawn and he's got such a unique um aspect 633 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: of his game, and a lot of it ties with 634 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: how he grew up and the over the adversity that 635 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: he's overcome his entire life. Deshan just processes adversity and 636 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: pressures different than anybody I've ever been around. And if 637 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: you think about the way that he grew up, you know, 638 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: in poverty and helping raise his family and all the 639 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: everyone's heard the stories playing Bama's not that they could 640 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: deal being down, not that they could deal throwing the pics, 641 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: not that they could deal. He just has a different 642 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: perspective on adversity. And the second part of it is 643 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: I think out of any teammate I've ever had, and 644 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: the Shan is not a teammate of mind. But I 645 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: haven't been around somebody who literally enjoyed and felt so 646 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: grateful for the situation. He doesn't. I've never been around 647 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: anybody like it. And so he genuinely loves studying, He 648 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: loves watching cap he loves being down. He just loves 649 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: all of it. So when they start off oh and three, 650 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: and we had a great conversation after that week, it 651 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: was always in his mind just a matter of time 652 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: before everything started clicking again. It was never this thing 653 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: is falling apart. Oh my gosh, this is all gonna 654 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: come undone. It was always in his mind just a 655 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: matter of time, and he took ownership. It's a matter 656 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: of time until it slows back down for me and 657 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: I get caught up and I start playing better and 658 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: I see the feel better. Uh, it's a matter of 659 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: time until these other parts of our team start connecting 660 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: and then they just rattle off, what is it? Six 661 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: and a row. It was always a matter of time 662 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: with the Shan. It was he didn't have a panic button, 663 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: like he never seen one before. They see, I got 664 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: a question for you, just Uh, you know something that 665 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: we know us every week when we're watching watching tape 666 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: is I don't know that I've ever seen I mean, 667 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: I know when the Rams, when the Greatest Show on 668 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: Turf kind of got rolling, Um, they kind of I 669 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: think was Mike Marts obviously, all all the shifts, emotions, 670 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: it seemed like they were just doing a little bit 671 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: more pre snap movement everybody else. And now with with 672 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: McVeigh and Andy Reid and and and now you're seeing 673 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Naggy with the Bears. I can't recall a time where 674 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: we've seen this many teams being this active pre snap. 675 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: And just from a quarterbacks perspective, what kind of information 676 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: can you glean when you're getting all that that movement 677 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: and and forcing a defense to react before you even 678 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: snap the football. Well, I think anything you pre snap, 679 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: there's really two goals. And you can either be trying 680 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: to accomplish one of these, none of these, or both 681 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: of these. When you're moving people around pre snap, a 682 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: shifting an emotion anything like that, or exploding from one 683 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: formation and five guys moved to an information, what you're 684 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: doing is there's an opportunity to deceive the defense and 685 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: there's also an opportunity to put to gather information. So, 686 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: frett example, if I have a receiver to the left 687 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: by himself, but I start off with a running back 688 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: outside of him, I'm motion that running back back into 689 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: the backfield. I'm gonna be able to tell very simply, 690 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: is there a linebacker or safety on that running back 691 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna be man to man covers. That's gonna tell 692 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: me there's a high likelihood that's that's man to man coverage. 693 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: If that running back was lined up outside the receiver 694 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: and a corner was just bumped out with them, I 695 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: moved the running back back next to me in shotgun 696 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: and that everybody kind of slides over. High likelihood that 697 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: that zone defense. Now, that's not not every shift in 698 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: motion is going to give you that sort of information. 699 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: But you're either trying to deceive the defense and confuse 700 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: them or get them caught off guard or get somebody misaligned, 701 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: or you're trying to gather information for both. And the 702 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: beauty of it is with these young quarterbacks is it's 703 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: it's not very complex for the quarterback to deal with 704 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: a lot of pre snap now having really complex reads. 705 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: Once they say set hut, Yeah, that's difficult. And so 706 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: what they're doing there and a lot of times with 707 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: these young rides with my home with Jared with the 708 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: Shawan is they're doing a lot of bells and whistles 709 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: pre snap to deceive and gather information. But then when 710 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: they say set hut, it's still a pretty simple read 711 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of times it's still 712 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: read this guy if he goes inside, we're going here. 713 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: It's still one high too high coverage. It's still man's 714 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: own read. So they're simplifying the post snap um uh, 715 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: what's on the quarterbacks plait mentally post snap, but pre snap, 716 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: adding that element it puts in it's more for the 717 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: defense to handle than it is for the quarterback to handle. 718 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: He essentially just has to spit it out and trusted 719 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: as guys are doing it, you know. And and to 720 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: that point, because I've seen this debate kind of rage 721 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: on Twitter or whatever you're talking about preest snap movement 722 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: or whatever, there's been a debate in the conversation about 723 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: empty formation and why are so many young quarterbacks playing 724 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: in empty formation sets or whatever. Explain to me the 725 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: benefit of using empty and some of the dangers that 726 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: also go along with empty in the formation out and 727 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: not having a back in the back. Yeah, when you 728 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: empty the formation out, I think that the casual football 729 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: fan would say, well, it's why do they do That's 730 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: so obvious They've only got five blocks, was so obvious 731 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: they're going to pass. It also limits the amount of 732 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: coverage as you can play. There's a lot of coverages 733 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: they are only two a two by two, or only 734 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: two a three by one, or only to a condensed set, 735 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: or only to a spot. And when you get in 736 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: the three by two and empty formation, there's just a 737 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: handful of coverages they can play, and more importantly, just 738 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: a handful of pressures they can play. It's you don't 739 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: see a lot of just press cover one cover you know, 740 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: man to man coverage than been empty because they don't 741 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: need to add that extra guy in the box because 742 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: there's no creative, real thread of run and I don't 743 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: want five guys on an island one on one with 744 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: one safety in the middle field helping. So cover one 745 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: is kind of out. And I could go down the list, 746 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: but it really simplifies the amount of coverages they can play. 747 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: Not to mention, you know, everybody's getting paid to watch 748 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: to watch tape during the week, and so you know, 749 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: if I'm playing the whoever Jacksonville Jaguars, when I pull 750 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: up their their defensive cut ups on how they play empty, 751 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna probably see two or three variations of coverages, 752 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: two or three variations of pressures, and so you kind 753 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: of limit what they can do, and it allows you 754 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: to really focus on how you're gonna come back that 755 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: and how you're gonna attack it, what are the keys 756 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: jp Because we've seen this, the NFL style of defense 757 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: is almost kind of morphed into what we've seen at 758 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: the college level. We always talk about the college concepts 759 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball making the ways 760 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: to the NFL, but I think the mindset defensively has 761 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: now gone from Saturdays to Sundays and that we're not 762 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: gonna get caught up in yards and moving the football. 763 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: What we've got to do is we've got to create 764 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: a turnover or two to give our offense an extra possession. 765 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: But even more importantly than that, we're gonna play great 766 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: red zone defense and try and you know, limit to 767 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: threes instead of six is And when you look at 768 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: red zone offense and you're looking you know throughout your 769 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: career and as you've been doing this for such a 770 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: long time, But what is the key to be in 771 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: a successful red zone offense in the NFL? Right now? 772 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: You know? I think uh, I think it's a spot 773 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: on in terms of Saturday's moving to Sundays what we're 774 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: seeing on offense, and it'll pick up two on defense too, 775 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: because it's same things that you do in college to 776 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: stop the stud offenses and same things decent. It's all 777 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: defenses are gonna need to do. But when it comes 778 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: to red zone, Uh, the the need for accuracy and 779 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: timing is uh, it goes through the roof and and 780 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: it's not accuracy like did you hit the guy in 781 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: the fast on that post out? But those certain balls 782 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: that can they can get completed on a receiver's chest. 783 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: So if he runs a slant route from the five 784 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: yard line and he beats the guy inside, you know, 785 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: just put it on his chest or some people would 786 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: say to put it low. Um. But then there's levels 787 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: where his eyes as far as he can send his 788 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: hands in the air, that becomes an area where there's 789 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: certain parts, there's certain throws that can be made right there. 790 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: And then there's certain throws where I always say, like 791 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: put it on the rim, where the only way that 792 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: ball is getting caught is if that receiver is his 793 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: arms extended and he's basically you know, off the ground 794 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: by a foot or two. You know, he's he's extended 795 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: and he's jumped, and that's the only area that that 796 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: ball can get caught. So not necessarily the area of 797 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: the end zone is that the right pylon, is it 798 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: the middle, But more or less there's either I call 799 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: him kind of vertical levels and when quarterbacks kind of 800 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: missed low and it looks like it hit the guy 801 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: in the face and if you got a hand on 802 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: the ball, you know, casual football fan, which I mean 803 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: it was pretty good throw, great played by the defense. No, 804 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: that ball can only get completed in that on on 805 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: the rim, in that upper zone. And so what we're 806 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of teams struggle with is I think 807 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: that timing and that accuracy, uh and those guys being 808 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 1: on the same page. And then when you see it 809 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: working like Michael, the difference with Michael Thomas and Julio Jones, 810 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: who can't you know that they can't they haven't been 811 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: able to connect a whole lot. I think it's just 812 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: that they're not on the same page, either with timing 813 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: or with accuracy, you know, and thinking about some of 814 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: like the younger quarterbacks, like in the college ranks, guys 815 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: that we've seen personally at a lead eleven. UM talk 816 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: a little bit about a wheel career and some of 817 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: the stuff that you noticed not only what he does 818 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: like physically, but what you know about him on the 819 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: inside that may lead you believe that he could be 820 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: a pretty good play at the next level. You know, 821 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: he's he's overcome a lot, and he's been exposed to 822 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot. Um. I don't know that everybody knows this, 823 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: but you've got two little brothers and they're like multi 824 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: millionaires and they're like eighteen. He's been exposed to a 825 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: whole of the world, but just college doesn't exposed to 826 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: and the adversity of everything that happened at Florida, UM, 827 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: leaving being out, getting married, having a kid, getting a 828 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: seconce here, making making the most of it. For sure. Um, 829 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: he's been through a lot for his age, Um and 830 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: the success in the adversity that he's had along the way. 831 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: But then he goes to this offense where he's got 832 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: guys who can go at the white out position. Jake 833 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: Stalbotal is a great coordinative, great teacher of the game, 834 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: great play color. And I think with Will, you know, 835 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: here's a lot of what he's doing is run around 836 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: and making it happen. The evolution of Will will be consistency. 837 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: He's made that last throw he made the other day 838 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: unbelievable throw. I mean he was like off balance for 839 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 1: no reason. So as he can continue to grow and 840 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: developing the consistency of his mechanics to be able to 841 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: make the same throw every single time. UM, I think 842 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: that's where we're gonna see. Really, we're doing a chance 843 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: to see how high his ceiling is with some of 844 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: these spectacular plays and these crazy numbers. Um, but his 845 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: trajectory will be based off of how high his floor raises. 846 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: And when I'm coaching guys, everything is about setting a 847 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: trajectory for where we think you can go, and we 848 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: want to I always may want to make sure we're 849 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: raising the floor and raising the ceiling. Raising the ceiling 850 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: is working on things that are spectacular and creating time 851 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: and thrown across your body and all that stuff. Raising 852 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: the floor is for Sam Donald, keeping two hands on 853 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: the ball, for Josh Allen, keeping all your cleats in 854 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: the ground so you're not bouncing on your toes and 855 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: over striding, raising the floor. And so with Will, I 856 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: think there's an opportunity for him to raise his floor, 857 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: which is going to increase his trajectory. Hey, two other 858 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,720 Speaker 1: guys I want to talk to you about real briefly, 859 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: because we had him this summer. They came through Jared 860 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: Stidham and Drew Lock. Both of those guys have been 861 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: on a bit of a roller coaster ride this year. 862 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: But just talk about what they bring physically and mentally 863 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: to the position. Yeah, two interesting guys and in interesting spots. 864 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: You know, did is dealing with some adversity down on 865 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: Aubura and I'll leave it at that. UM and just 866 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: the offense and how they're doing things down there, and 867 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: it's it's Ah, He's a classic example of a guy 868 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: who's gonna be a much better pro than he has 869 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: been college player. And what that means said, it's been 870 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: a really good college player. I mean, people forget last 871 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: year Jarrett and Auburn Tigers beat Bama and Georgia UM 872 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 1: and for his year to to to deal with a 873 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: lot of the things that he's dealing with their um 874 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: and to be able to string together last week he 875 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: had a good one. He's got to rattle off a 876 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: couple of uh, He's got a couple of monster games. 877 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: He's got Georgian Embama coming up. Um. You know Jared's 878 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: kid physically. Well, we get to go into this draft process. UM, 879 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: a big storyline, a lot of a lot of conversations. 880 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: Because we've talked about Jarek arm talent. Um, because he 881 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: throws his his right right with the best guys I've 882 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: been around in terms of velocity and touch and with 883 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: a smooth stroke. And I remember it from high school 884 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: when he was coming out of Stephenville, Texas going to 885 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: going to Baylor. I mean we were. It's he's always 886 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: had that and Drew lock is similar. Um. You know, 887 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: as a kid who could have gone anywhere, went to Missouri, 888 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 1: stayed there, has been really loyal to that place. He's 889 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: got a new office coordinator who's learning more pro stile 890 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: stuff this year. Not always on this, Not all their 891 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 1: guys are always on the same page. He's got some 892 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: playmakers kind of but they also get scored on it. 893 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: It's just kind of like a weird situation. That's that 894 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: is pretty common actually, But in terms of what he 895 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: has physically, both those guys are are our upper echelon 896 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: arm talent. Uh. And the thing about Drew lots people 897 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: don't realize too. And he had some big time Division 898 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: one basketball offers. This is a very smooth, very twitchy 899 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: athlete and uh. And they're both dynamic leaders and just 900 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: good dudes to be around. And I am flying to 901 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: Missouri tomorrow a lot of them play Vanderbilt and spend 902 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: the weekend with them. I want to ask you about 903 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: one more guy here before I let your run. We 904 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Uh, Daniel Jones down there at Duke. Uh. 905 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: Someone I got a chance that to uh get about 906 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: four games in on him. He's he's intriguing. Man. I 907 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: see a little bit. I see a little bit of 908 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: of Matt Ryan when I watched him just kind of 909 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 1: move around and throw the ball. But I know you've 910 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: had some exposure to him. What are your thoughts on him? Yeah, 911 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's a good comp I think he's more athletic 912 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: than that. Um. But Uh, it's so funny because you 913 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: just think and you don't you don't think about it 914 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: if I said, other guy come from you know, big 915 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: kind of SEC school or something. Um. I got a 916 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: chance to spend some time with this last off season, 917 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he was bigger than I thought. 918 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: And then he started moving around and he's moving around 919 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: a lot quicker than I thought. And I was like, 920 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: why didn't I think it would be like that? And 921 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: it's just when they come from schools or we're not 922 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: used to saying, um, you know, I think we we 923 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: we kind of go into it with that mindset. And 924 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: I think that's also true of the NFL evaluation community 925 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of he's coming out of nowhere 926 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: and these draft boards and the way you really draft, 927 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: and no one hadn't heard of him a year ago. 928 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: In fact, I heard about him through a buddy and 929 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: that's when I started paying attention. But when I got 930 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: to spend some time with them, I realized that this, uh, 931 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: he's a franchise guy. Um, he's gonna be a big 932 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: story in the draft process just because so many people 933 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: know so little about him. Almost is if Josh Allen 934 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: would have come out that not last year, the year 935 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 1: before it really came out of nowhere, really intriguing. Everybody's 936 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: rushing to figure him out. Daniel is going to have 937 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of that, um if he comes out 938 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: this offseason and and uh, but the reality is he 939 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: has uh, he's had very very consistently, very poor protection. 940 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: And there's gonna be zero questions about his toughness because 941 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: he is taking it on the chin very consistently. Um. 942 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 1: His mechanics I think for his age, uh, really routine, 943 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: he's really consistent. Um. And then he's he's you know, 944 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: he's six four, he's thirty ish. She's really good athlete, 945 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: and he's just been around the Marnings and David cut 946 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 1: Cliff for a long time. And those are the types 947 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: of guys you've bet on. There you go, I think 948 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: we're good there, JP. We appreciate your time, man. We 949 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: love catching up with you in the spring as we 950 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: get towards the draft, but a pleasure to have you 951 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: on here during the regular season as well. Thanks so much, buddy, 952 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: man Sanna, you guys are the best.

It's it's fun to 956 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: talk to him in the in the route to the draft, 957 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: but I like getting a chance to to pick his 958 00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: brain a little bit in the middle of the season. 959 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,959 Speaker 1: That was fun. It was fun. Look, he's a super 960 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: smart guy. He knows a lot about quarterback play. He 961 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: lives a lot about developed them, developing them on the 962 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: ground level, and also tweaking them and helping them find 963 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: their games at the higher level. Terrific resource for us 964 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: to be able to tap into.

That throat that he made the 997 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: touchdown throw and then to have the moxie to have 998 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: the two point conversion converted to have a time out, 999 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: have to redo it, and then he did it with 1000 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: his legs. Says a lot about him. I like him 1001 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: a lot. I think his performances one to NFL scales 1002 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: to look at hard as a signature moment for him. Well, 1003 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,240 Speaker 1: speaking of performances, last week, Bucky Brooks had a good performance. 1004 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: That's right, nine and two. Yeah, but every this week 1005 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: nine and two, it didn't help. Anybody didn't help me, 1006 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: didn't help. But I think it was a gap. I 1007 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 1: went last place. I was only eight and three. Yeah, 1008 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Ken's got to step it up a little bit. 1009 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: I think Will Greer's team is gonna lose to TCU 1010 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: in Morgantown on Saturday. It's not on our predictions, but 1011 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: I'm calling the upset. Well, there you go.

Just it 1018 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: feels like just yesterday, Buck, you were like in first 1019 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: place in this thing. Man, I had a bad couple 1020 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 1: of weeks. That's what happened when you always trying to 1021 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 1: go to chalk. All right, bluck, let's jump into these 1022 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: these college games here. What do you think here with 1023 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: Boston College? This one's easy, right, yesa with clips in this. 1024 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: I like Boston College in the way they play a 1025 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: light the physicality and toughness up their squad. I just 1026 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: think Clemson is a much much better team. Now I'm 1027 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: gonna go getto on that one. Everybody picking Clemson and 1028 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: this one. Next one, Now, come on, Alabama at home 1029 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: against Mississippi State. Come on, let's make the cleaning sweep 1030 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: across the board Albama. I just gonna see how Missive 1031 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: State and board US went off. Yeah, we're all riding Alabama, right. 1032 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: Auburn Georgia, Man, Auburn matches up well with Georgia. But 1033 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm just going with Georgia and this one. I I 1034 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: can't pick on Auburn to pretty upset. Yeah, I'm gonna 1035 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: go to Georgia's. Well. I think Georgia throws it around 1036 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 1: pretty good. Miss game, they get it done. I think 1037 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: that offensive line and Georgia matches up with that defensive 1038 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: line of Auburn. We'll see what happens. All right, Ohio State, 1039 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: Michigan State. Man, Michigan State should be prying for a 1040 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: big upset. I'm going with Ohio Stay here. I don't 1041 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 1: have a lot of conviction in this one. They have 1042 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,720 Speaker 1: more talent and I'm just gonna bank on the talent 1043 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 1: being superior. That is why they walk away with a win. 1044 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: Selly going Ohio State can't Ohio State can't hit my music? 1045 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, party party at home gets it done.
