Congratulations on North Carolina winning. I 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys actually played any defense in 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: that game, but that's a big win for you guys 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: and Rhet somehow, I don't know. I haven't watched the games, 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: but apparently Indiana's got a good football team all of 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: a sudden. I don't know what's going on. What's the deal, Bucky? 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: We can't get any respects around here. You and me, 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: no respect given. But that's okay. I've grown to expect 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: that from DJ. He's a little pouty about his app 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: State Mountaineers. Right. Yeah, we're getting ready to beat Coastal 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: Carolina this week. Boys, we're gonna be in the top 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: twenty five. Are only loss is to Marshall. I think 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: the top fifteen team. We're just fine. Yeah, you know 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: you'll be down there in New Orleans playing in the 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: New Orleans Bowl again, and we'll just be out in Pasadena, 20 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, sitting here at the Rose Parade. So don't 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: don't mind, Steve j. We're all good over here. All right. Well, 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: I guess we can do some NFL foot. I guess 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: we've got some great takeaways here from an interesting weekend 24 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: of football. And let's just skip the happy chat. Let's 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: jump right in here. You've got the first of our 26 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: ten takeaways. What is it? Let's hit it. The Patriots 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: beat the Ravens. Like the Ravens. We'll duck under center 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: brick at the single shetbacks collateral? Did Jacoby Myers, the 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: former NC State quarterback looks to throw herrying it out, 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: keep doing the right side for chemes and catches hit 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: it in zone touchdown? Mantrios, What a call? What calm? 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: And you do it right away because you called me 33 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: about five yards Steve, perfect execution off the step. Oh man, hey, guys, 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: have you heard that Jacoby Myers used to play quarterback 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: in NC State? Goodness, if I had a dollar for 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: every time we heard about Jacobe Myers was a former quarterback. Look, 37 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: I get it, um, and that was a part of 38 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: the explosive play that like selective explosive plays that we 39 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: saw from the Patriots pass game in this one had 40 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: a couple of twenty yards. But look, this was about 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: the run game. This was about a power football game. 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: With adverse weather conditions. The Patriots turned to the ground. 43 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: Damian Harris hud yards on twenty two carries. Uh, this 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: was why they beat the Ravens this and they did 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: it in a way that we've come to expect the 46 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: Ravens to try to impose their will on people. Uh. 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: That just that's what kind of surprised me and this 48 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: one a little bit. The Patriots were better at running 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: the football. They were better at stopping the run, two 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: things that we've just come to know from these Ravens 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: teams for the last couple of seasons. Now, Um, you 52 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: know the big places in the past game, the trick 53 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: play that was just that was enough. Cam Newton didn't 54 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: do a bunch. This was reminiscent of what we saw 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: from them when they were successful in the first two 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: or three weeks of this season. It was that type 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: of formula. Um. But the even have been heard up front. 58 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: You know, Ronnie Stanley out, Nick Boyle goes down in 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: this game at tight end they were unable to run 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: effectively consistently. The wet ball was a problem for Skirt center, 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: a couple of miskes their turnover as well. And it 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: just look, I've just been just been saying that it 63 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: has not felt like the same Ravens team this year. 64 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: It didn't in this game. But for the Patriots, I 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: just I wonder now, I wonder if this formula is 66 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: enough for the Patriots to get back into contention in 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: the a f C S. Phill Belichick said his team 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: is definitely headed in the right direction. Seemed a little 69 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: bit odd for him to say something like that for 70 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: a team that's under five hundred just in general, for 71 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: him to say something like that, but makes me wonder 72 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: about this formula here for the Patriots, you know, Red, 73 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: it is funny because I believe they found this formula 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: in this identity a few weeks ago against the Buffalo Bills. 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: Remembering that game against the Buffalo Bills, they were on 76 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: their way to win the game with Cam Newton Fumboldt 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: at the fourteen yard line. But in that game, it 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: was the same recipe, a lot of heavy running. Damon 79 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: Harris was a guy that was a focal point of 80 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: the run game. They were successful against the Jets. They 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: replicated the formula, ran the ball. I guess the Baltimore Ravens. 82 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: I think they walk away from this game with a 83 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: lot of confidence because, as you alluded to, they ran 84 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: it down to Baltimore Ravens throats. They did it in 85 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: a fashion that was very reminiscent to the way the 86 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: Ravens have done it for years, and I think as 87 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: they go forward, I think this is the way they 88 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: have to play. The running game is their super power. 89 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Will it be enough for them to get back in 90 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the playoff hunt? I don't know, but I do believe 91 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: that they found something and they're gonna hang their head 92 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: on this. You know. I'll flip around looking at the 93 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: Ravens side. Guys. We talked about how difficult it is 94 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: to play quarterback as a rookie in the NFL, the 95 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: challenges you have, the communication, the understanding, the execution. I 96 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: think we could say the same thing defensively about being 97 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: an inside linebacker. Um, with all the responsibilities that you have, 98 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: it is a lot. And I thought the Patriots went 99 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: right at Patrick Queen in this game. He saw he 100 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: was in coverage on on the on the double pass 101 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: on the touchdown there for Myers. But in the run game, 102 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean just went at him over and over and 103 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: over again. He was on his heels, he was catching blocks, 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: he was jumping out of gaps creating increases. Um, he 105 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: just he really struggled in this game. And I think 106 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: it's a lot on a young guys plate to be 107 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: handling all that you you have to handle in the 108 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: middle of that defense. And I thought it showed a 109 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: little bit in this game. So, um, that's something that 110 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna have to figure out going forward. 111 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: And I think offensively, when you start looking at Ronnie Stanley, 112 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: the Nick Boyle injury in this in this game is huge. 113 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: He's a big part of their run game. Remember they 114 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: trade traded Hayden Hurst in the off season, so last 115 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: year you had the tackles healthy, you had so many 116 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: tight ends and that's how they kind of overwhelmed people. 117 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't know they have the personnel to do that 118 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: right now anymore, so that that's gonna be a challenge 119 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: for them as they go forward. I'll get us to 120 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: our next one here, uh real quick, here number two 121 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: on the takeaway list, let's stay inside that a FC 122 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: East Miami's Amba defense buffuddles Justin Herbert. That's it's eight 123 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: sack of the year back it's around third or twelve 124 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: ms if that. Dolphins having shit Man fifth in reception 125 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: of the year. So Buck, I want to get to 126 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: you on this one because when I watched you watching 127 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: the game call in the game, I noticed that I 128 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: went back and watched it. So you have thirteen third 129 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: downs for the Chargers. They're only four or thirteen, but 130 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: on four of those third downs they were in Amba 131 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: defense with meaning they don't have anybody at three point stance. 132 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: It's six, seven, eight guys just milling around the line 133 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And as a young quarterback, that is difficult 134 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: because you don't know how to help with protections. You 135 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: don't know where they're coming from. You don't know what 136 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: coverage they're gonna be in when you figure out who 137 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: drops out. So when nobody had a three point stance 138 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: that they did it four times in those four plays. 139 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: One of them was a wide open Keenan Allen, and 140 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, even though he was protected, rushed the throw 141 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: because he imagined pressure because it just it was confusing 142 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: to him, so he rushes to throw as an incompletion. 143 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: Another time you had another incompletion. He had one completion 144 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: which was short of the and then so they've played 145 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: man free with this buck every time Amiba man free 146 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: on the back end. Well, the last time they did it, 147 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: they played cover three, so three deep four underneath, and 148 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: he throws the pick to Xavian Howard because his eyes 149 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: are just locked in on the quarterback, so he sees 150 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: that of me, but he assumes he's gonna get the 151 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: man coverage because he's seen it all three times. They've 152 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: done it earlier in the game, and all of a sudden, bam, 153 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: they only rush for they're dropping seven and they've got 154 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: all those eyes on the quarterback and Xavian Howard picks 155 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: it off it. I think that's a huge it's a 156 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: huge challenge for a young quarterback when you're seeing that. 157 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's good luck, yeah, good good luck. And 158 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: it's really a brilliant strategy Brot Brian Flores and his 159 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: defensive staff because what the Amiba does, it makes it 160 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: very very tricky for the quarterback to set the point, 161 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: meaning to identify who the mic linebacker is and to 162 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: direct the protection either to a side or away from 163 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: his side. And when you bring the amiba with nickel 164 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: and dime personnel, the numbers all get jumble because now 165 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: you've got twenties in the middle linebacker spot, you've got 166 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: forties and stuff, and you just don't know who you're counting. 167 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: And with the play cloud going down, it just really 168 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: increases the pressure that you since. And then when you 169 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: flip the coverage in the back end behind it, you 170 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: talk about man free or Cover zero or Cover three. 171 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: You're now asking the quarterback to do a lot in 172 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: the priest snap phase and even more in the post 173 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: that phase, which is why we saw just A Herbert 174 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: have some mistakes because he just didn't know what was 175 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: going on well, and guys on the offensive side of 176 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: the ball kind of two a tongue of volos three 177 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: and O. Now as a starter since we eate, but 178 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: it seems like his greatest impact has come with the 179 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: Dolphins defense and with the Dolphins special teams. I mean, 180 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: since he's become the starter, the Dolphins have scored thirty 181 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: four points off turnovers, They have two defensive touchdowns, they 182 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: got a return touchdown. All of that most in the 183 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: NFL since we ate. Since Tuah has become the starter, 184 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: their total return yard ish is among the top five 185 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: since we gate. The dolphins avery starting field position is 186 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: their own thirty six yard line. That's the second best 187 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: average starting field position in the NFL. Four of their 188 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: six scoring drives in this game started in Chargers territory. Things. 189 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: You know, we we talked about it all the time. 190 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks bringing guys around them, raising the level will play 191 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: around and Look, I don't know if you can make 192 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: that kind of correlation here with the other sides of 193 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: the ball, but man, they are playing energized, they are 194 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: playing They're just playing better the last three weeks of 195 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: the season with two of their Look, I don't know 196 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: if it's a direct correlation there, but man, it's something 197 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: interesting to follow here moving down the stretch because everybody 198 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: else is really stepping their game up. Yeah, I would add, Look, 199 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: their special teams have been outstanding. On the other side 200 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: of the Charges, I believe have the worst special teams 201 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: unit in the National Football League. It is self inflicted wound. 202 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: Week after week after week after week. They just can't 203 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: get it figured out. Um and that block punt early 204 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: in the game just put them right behind the eight ball. 205 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: I feel like we buried the lead. Here buck looking 206 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: at our next takeaway. Here, takeaway number three I think 207 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: was the biggest story of the weekend. Murray's miracle leaves 208 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: Tory Cardinals win first down at the buffalo forty three. 209 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: Murray back to throw, flushed out, rolling left, in trouble, 210 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: slips a tackle, gotta launch it. He does left side 211 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: into the end zone, jump ball, and it is Is 212 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: it caught? Is it cost? Oh my goodness, Hopkins caught. 213 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: He caught it for a tockdown one second leave. I 214 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: can't believe them. You gotta be joking me. Hopkins reaches 215 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: off with three defenders around him. Head polls it in 216 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: and head the Cardinals laid at thirty two to thirty 217 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: with a second laft Man. Just an unbelievable play. And 218 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: and what what's so remarkable? But brought these play DJs? 219 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: It's everything that we know that quarterbacks are supposed to 220 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: be able to do effectively. You're not supposed to be 221 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: able to roll out to your left and throw the 222 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: ball as a right hander and get mustard on it. 223 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: More importantly, you're not supposed to be able to have 224 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: one receiver against three guys in a jump ball Hill 225 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: Mary situation, have him come down with it, and so 226 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: Calin Murray releases the ball and I'm sitting here watching 227 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: it like, oh man, that has a chance. And then 228 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: you look up and you see these hands kind of 229 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: come out of nowhere, and you're like, oh, sure, that's 230 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. He catches everything with people on him. And 231 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: so it's just one of those things where after the game, 232 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is talking about, Hey, that's in high school basketball, 233 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: we used to talk about dunking on your head. He 234 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: don't don't three defenders heads on an alley you that 235 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: he had no business getting. It is just one of 236 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: the reasons why he is arguably the best fifty fifty 237 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: ball pass catcher that we've ever seen in National Football League. 238 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: So here you're seeing this in a few different angles now. 239 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: And I talked about this, uh a little bit this morning, 240 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: um as d J and I were getting ready for 241 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: the aftermath, watch Jordan's player come in here and kind 242 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: of provide a little friendly fire on treed Avious White, 243 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: almost like coming in and knocking him off. I don't 244 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: know if he's gonna be able to dislodge if as 245 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: White is gonna be able to dislodge that ball from Hopkins. 246 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: But with Powyer kind of coming in somewhat blindly, it 247 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: felt like, or at least looked like, it knocks treed 248 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: Avious White out of the play. And and at that point, 249 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, Hopkins has the defender behind him boxed out 250 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: and and is able to come down with it. You're 251 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: gonna see it here once you watch Pawyer come in 252 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: and then you see that just knocks White to the 253 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: ground because at that point, White's got the positioning even 254 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: though it doesn't a chance to got a chance, right 255 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: and Hopkins, who I mean, you know, had time to 256 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: jump perfectly, and his length and his hands going up there. 257 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: Those myths, those two Excel gloves or whatever he wears, uh, 258 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: certainly paid off that. And look, you know what what 259 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: I find interesting is we do all this stuff with 260 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: next gen stats and the completion probability that wasn't even 261 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: like the most ridiculous completion that Kyler Murray has thrown 262 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: this year. It's like a sixteen point nine percent completion probability. Um, 263 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: there were others that had a lower completion probability this year. 264 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't find them for me, but that 265 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: one is as tough as it get and we're gonna 266 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: talk about it on the aftermath today. DJ Cardinals run 267 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: game was big here too, big reason why they were 268 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: able to come out on top. An addition to this miracle, 269 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: Hil Murray, Yeah, look at the Cardinals run game. We 270 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: go in two or forty five yards the buck. I 271 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: want to get to you on this real quick though, 272 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: and we start looking at kryptonite for some of these 273 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: playoff teams. The Buffalo Bills have three losses this year. 274 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee ran for a buck thirty nine, Casey ran for 275 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: two forty five, Arizona ran for two forty five. So 276 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: when they're three losses, they're giving up two d and 277 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: ten yards rushing. Look, you get into the postseason, you 278 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: look at some of the teams you're gonna run into. 279 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: They've already seen a couple of here with potentially with 280 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: Kansas City and maybe Tennessee. Uh in the a f C. 281 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: You look at at Baltimore, what you know they're gonna 282 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: try and really run the football. If somehow the you know, 283 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots were to get in there, you know they're 284 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: to run the football. Um, It's interesting to me that 285 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: that's a concern if you're the Buffalo Bills in a 286 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: cold weather game and the playoffs, particularly if you win 287 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: your division, you're playing at home. I don't know, they're 288 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: getting a street fight. I don't feel great about that. No, 289 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it. And they have been 290 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: able to get away with I would say some Okay, 291 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: play the last few weeks and win games. But I 292 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: think you are right. The awards have been revealed when 293 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: it comes to their defense. Their defense doesn't necessarily stop 294 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: the run consistently. And as we get into the postseason 295 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: and as these game plans become really more game to 296 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: game centric, they're going to have to show people that 297 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: they're physical enough to be able to stop the running game. 298 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: And so you talk about the potential teams that are 299 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, Uh, Baltimore has the ability to run it. 300 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns can run the football, The Tennessee Titans 301 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: can run the can City Chiefs can run it when 302 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: they want to run it. Las Vegas Raiders can run 303 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: the football. And so when you look at the potential matchups, 304 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: this say is not looking good for the Buffalo Bills 305 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott and his staff. They have to figure 306 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: out a way to stop it. And you're right right, 307 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: I didn't mention to Baltimore Ravens, but yeah, you gotta 308 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: be able to you gotta be ables off to run. Yeah, no, 309 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: no question about it. All right, guys. I'll get us 310 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: to our fourth takeaway here and it takes us down 311 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: to you know, New Orleans where no breeze for the duration, 312 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: no typical offense, no problem at least for now. Third 313 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: and twelve for the Niners. Mullins drops back, has a pocket, 314 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: throws over the middle. They'll gonna pick up at the 315 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: coming back the other way. It's Malcolm Jenkins who sides 316 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: down in two weeks in a row, Malcolm Jenkins with 317 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: a turnover. Last week was Malcolm's first interception since Week 318 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: twelve of the two thousand eighteen season, and now he's 319 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: got him in back to back weeks. Well, guys, this 320 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: game is truly highlighted by the hit that Drew Brees took, 321 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: which he stayed into the in the game, and he 322 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: came back into the game to run the final like 323 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: two minute drill at the end of the first half, 324 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: in which the Saints scored but then was unable to 325 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: go in the second half. Breeze calls it an accumulation 326 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: of things sorry, and Rapport has mentioned that it's a 327 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: rib situation here back situation where Breeze could miss some time. 328 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: Um So Peyton acknowledging coach on Peyton acknowledging that like 329 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: for Breeze to come up to him and say, I 330 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: don't think I can go, he knew it had to 331 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: be something fairly significant. First time in like fifteen years 332 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: that Breeze has has had to say something like that 333 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: to his head coach. So that is something we need 334 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: to watch moving forward. Clearly, Look, my friends in New Orleans, 335 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: you know I grew up in New Orleans. All my 336 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: friends in New Orleans are die out Saints fans, and 337 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: they have bemoaned breezes limitations at age forty one at 338 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: times this season, like many of us have in the 339 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: media as well. But they acknowledge that Jamis Winston flat 340 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: out does not run this offense the way that Drew 341 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: Breeze does, and no one does for that matter. That's 342 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: not necessarily a knock on Jamis Winston. Now, we did 343 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: see Tenny Bridgewater come in last year and play really 344 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: well what he ended up like five and oh but 345 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: you also got to remember that Bridgewater had about a 346 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: year under his belt before he was forced in to 347 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: do whereas Jamis Winston is coming in now this year 348 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: if he has to or taste Hill, I suppose. But 349 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: for in Winston's case, first year with the Saints, limited offseason, 350 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: very limited reps you would imagine through training camp and 351 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: and and in this season in particular. And so now 352 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: if he's got to be called upon, how does he 353 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: operate the offense? How does Sean Payton call the offense 354 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: differently moving forward? So that's something, um that we're gonna 355 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: have to watch here. And by the way, though, you 356 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: know the the the Saints have four games coming up 357 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: against teams with losing records before they have to battle 358 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in week fifteen. So maybe there's a shot 359 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: for them to kind of hold water and stay a 360 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: top the NFC South, or at least stay close to 361 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: make a run if Greece can come back and when 362 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: he comes back. But that's uh, this is kind of 363 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: an interesting situation here for New Orleans. Yeah, you bring 364 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: up an interesting scenario, right, because naturally, so much of 365 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: the conversation in the off season was about Taysom Hill 366 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: being potentially a franchise quarterback. But yeah, when Drew Brees 367 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: is unavailable, they go to Jamis Winston. So I think 368 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: it kind of tells you a little bit of how 369 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: they view their quarterback situation. They like Taysom Hill as 370 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: the guy gadget guy, Jamis Winston is more of your 371 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: traditional quarterback. I will say, typically, Sean Paigne does a 372 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: great job of getting quarterbacks ready to play, and even 373 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: though Jamis doesn't have a lot of experience in this offense, 374 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: I just have a belief that Sean Paigne will find 375 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: a way to have a small menu that will allow 376 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: him to succeed. The big thing whenever his Jamis is 377 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: canny take care of the football because this team defensively 378 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: is good enough to make it happen. He has enough 379 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: weapons around him, so unlike what he had to do 380 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: in Tampa, he just needs to drive the car and 381 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: get it to the winner circle. I think he's good enough, 382 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: but let's see if he can avoid the thing that 383 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: has always been his achilles hell. One thing I've I've 384 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: seen in a lot of movies which I can ansouly 385 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: have never we're actually seen one out on the road. 386 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: Is the motorcycle with the sidecar, you know, like thinking 387 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: with his dad in the little side come on with 388 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: a dog with a dog in it? Yes, okay, so 389 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: ah okay, Yeah, Rhet lives in the uppity uppity neighborhood. 390 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: So apparently this this kind of thing is in vogue 391 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: up there. I've never seen one actually on the road, 392 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: but that to me, Bucky Taysom Hill is in the sidecar. 393 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't matter who's who's gonna be riding the bike. 394 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna be Drew Brees or James. 395 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: But he's not getting out of the sidecar. He's on 396 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: the road. He's going along for the journey, but he 397 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: is not going to be on the motorcycle. He's firmly 398 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: implanted in that sidecar. I feel like, I feel like 399 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: there needs to be an animation that pops up when 400 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: you do that, and I feel like tas Hell should 401 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: be in the side car just kind of looking up 402 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: at the driver. Because it is true. The best thing 403 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: to Taysom Hill does is he comes in. He gives 404 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: you a spark in a variety of different ways as 405 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: a Swiss Swiss Army Knife quarterback, run game, read option game, 406 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: being able to be a playmaker in the passing. He 407 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: does all of those things, and so I can understand 408 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: why you don't want to take away from that. It 409 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: would just be interesting to see how Sean Payton manages 410 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: the reps during the practice week and how he manages 411 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston Taysom Hill sack car scenario as they 412 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: go forward and they play the Might of Falcons this week. 413 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: A last thing I'll mention on this one before we 414 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: move on here. Trey Kwon Smith went down with the 415 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: concussion in this game. Josh Hill, the tight end went 416 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: down with the concussion in this game, and Sean Payton 417 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: talked about the significance of those injuries post game in 418 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: relation to the success of the run game. So now 419 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: if you have to be without Breason, you have to 420 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: rely even more on the run game. You know you're 421 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: missing a couple of pieces that are crucial. Talking about 422 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: a blocking tight end, there a guy in track Kwon 423 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: Smith who's a physical receiver there, who could you know, 424 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: cause some issues in the continuity of that offensive from 425 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: a run game perspective. Moving forward, if they're unable to 426 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: go next week as well. Good point, Rip, all right, 427 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: I'll get us to take away five Raiders bully the 428 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: Broncos lock looking aft to the end zones, there's intercepted 429 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: the end zone hal toil ten fifty eight. That's funny, 430 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: Oh baby, chef who threw the whole came up with 431 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: a second interception of the game and saves the Raiders. 432 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: The Raiders. The Raiders. Look, you talked about them a 433 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: little bit earlier, Red, I think you hit on it. Um. 434 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: This is a team that's they're just they're physical. They're 435 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: a bully. I mean, that's the word. I come back 436 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: to two three rushing yards in this game. They only 437 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: give up sixty six. They pick off Drew Lock four times. 438 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a dominant front. They were 439 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: able to get after the quarterback a little bit. You know, 440 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: Max Crosby continues to be a consistent force for them. 441 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: But I would be excited if I was a Raider 442 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: fan because they're going to go to the playoffs this year. 443 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna be a playoff team. I don't think they're 444 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: gonna make a deep run, Buck, but they are going 445 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: to take that next step as a playoff team, but 446 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: I think they know what they need if they can 447 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: go out and address the defensive front and just to 448 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: add some more guys there, maybe another corner as well. Um, 449 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: this is a team you can envision with Derek Carr 450 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: playing the way he's played this year, it's been very solid. Uh, 451 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: with the physicality that they have. It's a team that 452 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: could be a really really good team. I think they're 453 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a you know, a wild card team this year, 454 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: ten win team, but you know, I think that the 455 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: menu for them going forward is very obvious. What they 456 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: need to do to take that next step. D You 457 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: make a great point about the Raiders and what they 458 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: need to get going forward, because I think this offense 459 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: is obviously ready to go. John Gruden has done a 460 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: great job of managing the game to compensate for their defense. 461 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: But if the defense gets up to snuff, this is 462 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: a team that we will continue to talk about being 463 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: one of those title contenders. So let me go to 464 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: six my takeaway and I'm gonna going to the Rams 465 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: and man, the Rams are tough team to be. Third 466 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: down and on from the plus forty three, Wilson, he's 467 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: back to throw he shoots it right side and it 468 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: is and to shut it again, Darius Williams timing to 469 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: make the play to his feet to mid fielding in 470 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: the Seahawks territory. What to pick? This is incredible. You know, 471 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: when I look at the l a Rams, so much 472 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: has always made about their offense and Sean McVeigh and 473 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: all the Bills and Wilson's that they just play on 474 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: death side of the ball. But this defense gives them 475 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: a chance to make a long run in the postseason. 476 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: When I look at what Brandon Sally has being able 477 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: to do with this defense, I guess the Seattle Seahawks 478 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: six sacks they were able to really get after Russell 479 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: Wilson had to turnover interceptions forced the fumble, did a 480 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: great job of just dominating the game in every aspect. 481 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: And I look at the pieces of the puzzle, Aaron 482 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: Donald and Jalen Ramsey, But the re emergence of Leonard 483 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: Floyd as a dominant player has really helped them. And 484 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: if the Ramps can continue to get this kind of 485 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: effort from their defense, they may be one of the 486 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: last team standing when it's all setting done. Yeah. Look, 487 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: they they made this turnover thing, a real trend for 488 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson now has ten turnovers in the last four weeks. 489 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: That leads to the league another three here this week, 490 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I thought it was when I 491 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: was looking at the kind of the numbers from this game, 492 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: I saw that our pal Peter Schrager over on g 493 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: MFB at a little tweet about this Rams defense in 494 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: the second half of their nine games this season. In 495 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: eight of those nine games, they've allowed three or less 496 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: second half points in eight of nine games. That is 497 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: closing defense, right, That allows you to win football games 498 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: when your defense steps up to the plate at the 499 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: end of games like that. And quite frankly, they've had to. 500 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: They've had to lock down in the second half because 501 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: their offense has not been scoring at the clip that 502 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: we've come that we've become accustomed to their usually a 503 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: twenty nine kind of thirty point team weekend a week out, 504 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: whereas this year they're about about a touchdown less than that. 505 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: And that's what's kind of felt like, and I think 506 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: that's part of a little bit of frustration for head 507 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: coach Sean McVeigh. Despite this victory here over the Seahawks 508 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: in week end it's still kind of feeling like there's 509 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: they're leaving points out there and they're they're not consistent 510 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: enough to go out there and put points on the 511 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: board offensively. DJ, that's a lot of good nuggets there. 512 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: I love what you said though about that that nugget 513 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: from Shregs. Because you can spend. There's guys that can 514 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: spend the whole week, right. You'll see there's some bad teams, right, 515 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: but their first fifteen, once they get on script, they 516 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: have a full week to prepare, and with a full 517 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: week to prepare, they have a little bit of success 518 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: as the game goes on longer. It's how can you react? 519 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: How can you adjust in game? Can you do that 520 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: in game not to make you get a little bit 521 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: of time at halftime? How do you come out of half? 522 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: That to me is the sign of a good coaching staff. 523 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't take a full week there. You gotta make 524 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: those decisions within fours and minutes and exactly. And so 525 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: to be able to do that, I think it's it 526 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: says a lot about that Rams defensive coaching staff. But 527 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: going back to Russell Wilson last two games, you mentioned 528 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: at the turnovers four picks three fumbles. It's been sacked 529 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: eleven times the last two weeks. And I went back 530 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: and charted all of his interceptions. You've got ten picks 531 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: this year. Six of those picks on third and fourth down. Uh, 532 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: third or fourth down. Four of those picks, Bucky are 533 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: in the end zone. So I mean he's got four 534 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: picks and scoring opportunities. Those are potential seven point turnovers. Man, 535 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: these are a huge trying to do too much, trying 536 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: to force the ball. Some of the sacks in this 537 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: last game one of them. But he's got he's got 538 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: a hot in the flat that's wide open. He's got 539 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: dk metcalf spotted up over the ball, who's wide open. 540 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: You had another one out on the other side of 541 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: the field who's wide open, and you see him with 542 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: the pressure about three or four yards away. He turtles 543 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: up and just takes the sack. I mean, he is 544 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: he is not comfortable at all right now. So this 545 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: has always been the dilemma in my mind about the 546 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: let rust cook philosophy in movement, because he is, without 547 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: question their best player. But the problem is when they 548 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: completely abandon the running game, it puts him in harm's way. 549 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: The offensive line isn't good enough to be in a 550 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: straight drop bad game. The wide receivers are very good, 551 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: but they benefit from play action because he creates big 552 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: holes and big windows. And as they continue to try 553 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: and play this style where they're just giving it to 554 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: rust and asking Russ to thor at forty five and 555 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: fifty times, it's going to be hard. And also know this. 556 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: The last few weeks, Mort's teams are sitting back with 557 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: seven guys, eight guys in the coverage and their damn 558 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: rust to find open windows, and he's having a tough 559 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: time being disciplined in detailed enough to fit the ball 560 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: in those tights in those faces. We will continue to 561 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: see the saw struggle until they find a little level 562 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: of balance with their offense. Now there is a three 563 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: way tie atop the NF West right now, gonna be 564 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a very fun finish out west A. Let's 565 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: keeping rolling here with the takeaways. I'll move us on 566 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 1: to number seven. We're spreading the wealth works for the Bucks. 567 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: Brady hard Count hands the ball off Roo Pops at 568 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: three across the ftch heads of the twenty bro Jo 569 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: to the thirty bro Joe to the forty ro Joe 570 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: to the fifty ro Joe to the forty ro Jo 571 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: to the thirty high separate of the twenty. That'll be 572 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: a ninety eight yard touchdown run by Ronald Jones. Let's 573 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: I could touch stops Tampa Bay one played ninety eight 574 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: yards and a run into the record book for Ronald Jones. 575 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: The second one longest running Bucks franchise history right there 576 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: for Ronald Jones. And that's not even really where I'm 577 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: going with this. Even though the yards on the ground 578 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: was certainly a positive for this Bucks offense, I'm talking 579 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: about the core right, the talent that we've been talking about. 580 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: When last week so much went wrong for the Bucks 581 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: against the Saints. Man, there was little that wasn't going 582 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: right in the passing game here. I mean, they had 583 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: it all rolling. They had Mike, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, 584 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown all getting fed in this game. Rob Gronkowski 585 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: a couple of big catches, and then Cam Break gets 586 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: into the end zone as well. Tom was really spreading 587 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: things around and trying to get everybody involved. Now, the 588 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: one thing that I will say, though, is he was 589 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: off on a couple of deep balls, one in particular 590 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown that was a sure fire touchdown early 591 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: in the game and was just way off. The ended 592 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: up scoring on the drive anyway, so it didn't really matter. 593 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: But seven catches for Antonio Brown sixty nine yards, uh, 594 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: double digit targets in this game. He really started trying 595 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: to get the ball to Mike Evans again as well. Look, 596 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: I thought the and to go back to Ronald Jones, 597 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: like I thought, the early fundle he had on the 598 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: reception early in this game was gonna doom him and 599 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: send him to the doghouse, and it was gonna be 600 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: learned from at the rest of the way. But credits 601 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: to Bruce Arians patients paying off there and get you 602 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: the ninety eight yard run nine one yards. Man. This 603 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: this kind of formula here, as we start to see 604 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: some comfortability and rhythm for this Bucks offense, that's gonna 605 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: make this team a tough out in the NFC playoff push. Here. 606 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: It absolutely will make them a tough out because the 607 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: biggest thing that they can do is they can spread 608 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: you really really thin with all of their talent. You 609 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: think about the four top playmakers that they have in 610 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: the passing game, Evans, God, when Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski, 611 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: how do you match up with that? And then when 612 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: they start to utilize the running game, which I believe 613 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: is critical because it now allows them to add to 614 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: play action pass element to the passing game. When they're 615 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: able to incorporate Menafer Nett and Ronald Jones, it really 616 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: takes some of the pressure off Tom Brady and makes 617 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: this offense nearly impossib able to stop. Let's see if 618 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: they can keep you going, because this is the version 619 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: then everyone is fearful of facing going down the stretch. 620 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: Was I watching the right team last week? The Tampa 621 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: We run the ball five times and one was a 622 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: nail down? Am I imagining that? Because this did not 623 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: look like the same team when you turn around this 624 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: tape and watch it. I talked last week on the 625 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: takeaways those guys about how people around the league talking 626 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: to me, we're saying they're gonna be paying attention to 627 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: Tampa against Carolina this this week because Tom Brady in 628 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: years past, he's had clunkers. He's had clunkers in the past, 629 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: but man, you do not want to see an angry 630 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady because then he's able to take his game 631 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: to another level. And if he if he's unable to 632 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: do that against Carolina, and then they're gonna say, okay, 633 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,479 Speaker 1: he's forty three years old, those days are behind him. 634 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: But what do we get. We get vintage Tom Brady. 635 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: They throw for over three hunter yards. You mentioned spreading 636 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: the wealth to all those different targets. How about third downs? 637 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 1: The ten of sixteen converting third downs? They converted their 638 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,719 Speaker 1: one one on fourth down as well, it's really eleven 639 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: of seventeen their ability to convert there. They want some 640 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: empty early he was able to get the ball out 641 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: of his hands. It was impressive what Tom Brady did 642 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: in this game. Buck I I just I look at 643 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: this team and I say, okay, last week, I can 644 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: kind of forgive it. You're gonna have a couple of 645 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: clunkers along the way. If they get this type of 646 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: performance going forward, especially when you see some of the 647 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: flaws of the team's inside the NFC, it's a dangerous bunch. 648 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: It is a dangerous bunch because when they play this way, 649 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: they don't turn the ball over and they allowed their 650 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: defense to kind of play in favorable situations. This is 651 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: the best version of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think 652 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: one thing that we're realizing the NFC is wide open 653 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: because we like a lot of these teams, but I 654 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: think all of them have a fatal flaw. It will 655 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they match up in the postseason, 656 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: because matchups will ultimately determine which teams we see continue 657 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: to go on no doubt. All right, let's keep it 658 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: rolling here. I'll go take away number eight Steelers Stemy 659 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: Burrow empty set for Joe Burrow right side to his right. 660 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: He's back with seconds. Bitch, t J. Watt, we're the 661 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: second sack of the game. Back across the forty five 662 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: yard plying. Burrow said, I I'm having trouble dealing with 663 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: number nine d Somebody helped me, please. I thought after 664 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: the game there's a great quote there from t. J. 665 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: Watts saying, Yeah, we want to welcome these young quarterbacks 666 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: inside the division. Let them know what's gonna happen every 667 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: time they face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now or thirteen on 668 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: third down for the Bengals, zero like a doughnut. Oh thirteen. 669 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: Those four sacks, three of them were the four man rush, 670 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: So Buck. We've talked a lot about Blitzberg and how 671 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: aggressive that they've been They didn't need to be aggressive 672 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: in this one. Four was enough for is enough? And DJ, 673 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: what is the new thing that we're seeing in the league? 674 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: Simulated pressure meaning people teams that blitz a lot. What 675 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: they do is they walk around and it looks like 676 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: they're about to bring a five or six man pressure, 677 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: they drop back. They use a three or four men rushed, 678 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: but because your eyes are so diverted with all the movement, 679 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: you failed to pick up one of the rushers and 680 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: he hits your quarterback in the ear hole. We're seeing 681 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: more teams doing the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing it. T J. 682 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: Watt was able to be successful getting to the quarterback 683 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: off of some simulated pressures. As the Pitts Burk still 684 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: has continue to dominate people with their defense. Ben Roethlisberg 685 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: in the offense are just efficiently carving you up. This 686 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: is a tough team and it's a very tough team 687 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: to deal with. And I know we're talking about Dynasty's 688 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, but at some point the Kansa Chase 689 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: have to deal with the Pittsburgh still is and I 690 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: can't wait for that matchup to inevitably happen. Yeah, that's 691 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting one here. And now, look, I 692 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: look at it from the Bengals perspective, this is not 693 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: the first time where Joe Burrow has been hit, you know, 694 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: into the teens right A thirteen times he was hitting 695 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: this game, four of him and he got going for sacks. 696 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: Remember we talked about it back when they played the Eagles, 697 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: DJ and I mean there were times where the Eagles 698 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: thought that they had knocked him out of the game, right. 699 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: I think they had something like sixteen hits in that game. So, 700 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: if you're Zach Taylor and you're starting to approach this 701 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: territory here week tend week eleven, now going into next week, 702 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: where your rookie quarterback, the face of your franchise, who 703 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: has proven that he is going to be a special 704 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: player in this league, is getting hit like this, do 705 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: you start to tone things back a little bit and 706 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: trying to maybe change the way that you're calling games 707 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: so that to avoid this type is that? Look, I mean, 708 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: I know they're they're limited with what they can do 709 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: with the personnel they have up front of the offensive line, 710 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: But is there a way to better protective moving forward? 711 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: I guess at the point, yeah, I mean keep running 712 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: the football and get him on the move. Um, that's 713 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: the best thing I can I can say. But they're 714 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: they're just doubt they're outmatched up front. The good thing is, 715 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: I don't worry about Joe Burrow. I know some people 716 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: are saying, Oh, he's getting so beat up and he's 717 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna, it's gonna ruin him psychologically. This kid 718 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: is so physically and mentally tough. He's built for it. 719 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: And they're gonna have resources that We've said it all 720 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: year long. Right, if you're the Bengals at this point 721 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: in time in the process, you want to see some 722 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: good things from your young players, particularly your quarterback while 723 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: you're losing games, to make sure you get some high 724 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: picks you can really help him out going forward. You're 725 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: seeing te Higgins emerge as a big time weapon there 726 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow. Got some pieces in place this next 727 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: offseason it is all offensive line. Watch gets you a 728 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: free agent or two, and invest heavily, including potentially a 729 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: top five pick there to give him some help. Okay, Bluck, 730 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: what's what's number nine? The Green Bay Packers win the 731 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: boy It was ugly Davante to the left wing left 732 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: side righters other center first and goal play action Rogers 733 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: looking blocks the left side of the ends. One link 734 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: beIN grab Adams touchdown cree Bay. Oh what a beautiful 735 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: plate baked by Aaron Rodgers. Adams on the link bin, 736 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: grabbing the left side of the end hide Hanza. Packers 737 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: are taking a twenty three league. You know, every game, 738 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: every coach would say you, you're not gonna have your 739 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: A game for each and every week, and the Packers 740 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: certainly did not bring their a game. This was a 741 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: performance that we can look at the numbers and Aaron 742 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers said over three hundred yards. Davante Adams had eight 743 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: catches in a touchdown, but it wasn't like a high 744 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: level performers from them. They sputtered, they were off to mark. 745 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: Davante Adams looked like he was frustrated, even though the 746 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars don't have premier corners and so this is one 747 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: where they survived in Advanced But there's a lot of 748 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: work for this team to do if they're going to 749 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: kind of reach the ranks of the elite. They got 750 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: to bring a better effort each and every week. Yeah, 751 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: and Bucky, you know, look, I thought the silver lining 752 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: was they were able to turn somebody other than Davante 753 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: Adams for some production. Mark Quinzvaldis Scantling had the huge 754 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: seventy eight yard catch a perfect throw from Rogers, probably 755 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,439 Speaker 1: the only, you know, the real the only perfect play 756 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: that we saw from them all game long in this one. 757 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: And then you know, they just didn't have the running game. 758 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: But you know, I think now that you get a 759 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: game like this from MBS, you've got Allen Wizard coming 760 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: back off i R probably this coming week, maybe you 761 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: start to get some of these pieces together here at 762 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: the right time. Um. I know they've been a little 763 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: shorthanded on the offensive line as well, So um, look 764 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: at you're gonna have to win some of these, you know, 765 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: for a team like this and the Packers who are 766 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: right now at the top of the NFC, the number 767 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: one seed as it stands at this point right now. 768 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: So um, you know, there's still a lot to like 769 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: about this Packers team moving forward, and one positive thing 770 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,720 Speaker 1: as we get to the last takeaway here for the Jags, 771 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: and it's been just an awful year though when when 772 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: when lost? Record is what it is here because they 773 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: marched to a top two pick here potentially could be 774 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: the first overall pick if the Jets accidentally won a game. Um, 775 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: but James Robinson has been a bright point another Hunter 776 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: yard game for him. UM So going forward in the 777 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: next year, they do have somebody there in the backfield, 778 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: they can they can build around him, all right, Right, 779 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: what's the final takeaway here? Don't count the Giants out yet, 780 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: I said Jones hand off, Golmen runs right in for 781 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: the touchdown Giants Quayne Goldman's second rushing touchdown on the 782 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: ball game, and the Giants are up twenty to eleven 783 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: with the extra point pending. Well, you know what, I'm 784 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of glad we saved this one for last, because 785 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: this take is about as spicy as it gets when 786 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about a team that enter Week ten, sixteen 787 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: in the NFC dead last in the NFC sixteen out 788 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: of sixteen, and now after a win over the Eagles, 789 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: their second win in a row, The New York Yan 790 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: said the same amount of wins this season as the 791 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: team that's in first place in their own division, and 792 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: they're playing better. Wayne Gallman has five touchdowns in the 793 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: last four games, one and each of the last four 794 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: it too against the Eagles. Daniel Jones is still the 795 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: team's leading rusher, and look it's not by accident. Like 796 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: he's a really good athlete and showing you why they 797 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: even had another touchdown called back. Thankfully he was able 798 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: to stay up on that thirty four yard score. Uh, 799 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: you know you're getting the thing that I wanna also 800 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on is Darius Slayton left 801 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: this game briefly in the first half with an ankle injury. 802 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: Something to watch moving forward. They're playing a lot better 803 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: on defense, though they frustrated the Eagles in this game. Uh, 804 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: they gave up that long touchdown of Boston Scott, but otherwise, man, 805 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: I thought they played pretty well. And look, I mean 806 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: there's no reason to think that the Giants cannot win 807 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: this division and somehow find their way into the playoffs 808 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: despite being a you know, if there are a five 809 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: six win team, I mean, that's just the way. This 810 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: is a historically bad division. So they're in position right now. 811 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 1: I mean, tell me if I'm wrong, they're right there. 812 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: And here's what I will say about the New York Giants. 813 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: Their effort, energy, enthusiasm and hulso overcome some of the 814 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: talent deficiencies that they have on their roster. I will 815 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: give Joe Judge a ton of credit. Um, Look, the 816 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: methods might have been viewed a little high school ish, 817 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: but he has these guys believe in. They're playing hard, 818 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: and I would say that of all the teams that 819 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: we're seeing in the East, they may be the most 820 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: will coach because we don't see these fundamental errors from 821 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: them that we're seeing from other teams, and that gives 822 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: them a chance. I don't know if they're talented enough 823 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: to get the T shirt and the hat, but it's 824 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: looking like they're going to be in a position the 825 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: last three or four games to play for a T 826 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: shirt and hat, and I think that's significant for Joe 827 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: jes in this first year. Yeah. Look, I think you 828 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: can look around the division and we can try and 829 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: make excuses and say, look, the Washington football team's got 830 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: a new coaching staff. Um, you kind of look at 831 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: some of the injuries that they might be dealing with. 832 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: You look at the Eagles, even though they've had a 833 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: myriad of injuries and the offensive line has been besieged 834 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: by injuries. Um, you look at the Dallas Cowboys losing 835 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,240 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. That's big as well. This is a Giant's 836 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: team that's best player hasn't played. He's played one game. 837 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: When you look at Sae Kwon Barkley missing him for 838 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: the entire year, they didn't mope about it. I know 839 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: the wins haven't you know, tallied up, but they're competitive 840 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: each and every week. They know exactly who and what 841 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: they are. They're very physical. You see those that defensive line. 842 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: I think when you look at Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams, 843 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: the way they've played inside has been really really good 844 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: group for them. Uh, Dalvin Tomlinson's another one. So those 845 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: three guys, they've got a really good, uh strong group 846 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 1: up there that plays physical. So they know who they are. 847 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I mean to me, this is 848 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: a team, guys. This is the six and ten one 849 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: team that's gonna have a good chance of winning this division. 850 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,720 Speaker 1: And you look saying it's insane when Daniel Jones doesn't 851 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: turn the ball over. They can win football games and 852 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: they have. They could easily have two or three more wins. 853 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: They can easily have two or three more wins. They've 854 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 1: been competitive in a bunch of those games have have 855 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: lost some leads late in the those games as well. 856 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: But again, yeah, hats off, hats off to Joe Judge, 857 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,919 Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones, had some criticism early on, and they've 858 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: they've battled through it. And right now the New York Giants, 859 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: right and I think of it, Well, another week is 860 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: in the books here, buck, and as we look forward 861 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: just a little bit here at the end, Man, we've 862 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: got some good matchups next week. Think about in the 863 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 1: a f C. You've got two great games, the Tennessee 864 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: Titans the Baltimore Ravens. You also have the Kansas City 865 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs in the Las Vegas Raiders and a big divisional matchup. Yeah, 866 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: the a f C West matchup is really intriguing for me. 867 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: You haven't played on both sides. I know what it 868 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 1: means to be a Kanda City Chief and to talk 869 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: about radar week. I also know what John gruten Uh 870 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: is telling his guys when he comes to measuring up 871 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. And because they knocked him off early 872 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: in the year, Oh, you may see Patrick Mahomes and 873 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 1: crew unleashed. It's gonna be a hungry bunch. I think 874 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: they're I think that's safe to say with Patrick Holmes 875 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, that's gonna do 876 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: it for us today.
