Speaker 1: have him in his two takeaways here and look, man,

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: this is this was. I called it on Game Day

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: Live yesterday on NFL Network the best Sunday of NFL

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: football this season, and it happened yesterday. It's awesome, man,

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: it's so much fun to be a part of. I

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: don't think that's I don't think I don't think that's

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: a hot take at all. No, it's not. It's just

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: pretty reality. That's what I give you. Facts. That's right, facts. Facts.

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: There you go, he's the facts, man, that's just the facts.

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: All right. Let's let's jump out of the takeaways here.

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you got a lot to get to and uh,

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: I'll lead us off. Big game, big win taking place

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: in the NFC West, the Rams. They have some balance

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: on offense. Jerry Goff under centers, looking the build on

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: A twenty one and I leave. He gives a Gurley,

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: He tries the left side to the perimeter to fitches

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: stiff farm and he goes in on his feats. Touch

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: down Todd Gurley touch down away with a leven was

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: seven ago in regulations seven nine and pour Gurley it's

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: his twelve touchdown in nine games against the Seahawks. Well,

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: there you go, Todd Gurley getting done on the ground,

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: ended up seventy nine, caught four balls for thirty four yards.

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: But to me, Rhett and the balance came off of

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: that because then you started getting that boot game, which

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: is so dangerous. With Jared Goff. It's where he's at

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: his best. In my opinion. You get him on the

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: boot on the move, left or right doesn't matter, but

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: they get those level concepts going where you've got three levels.

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: He's got clear sight lines, easy reads, and he puts

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: the ball right where it needs to be and those

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: are tough to defend. Right for defense, I was just

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: watching a help of the plays that you sent me.

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: On one of them, you've got three guys chasing the

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: deep throw, which didn't even look like it was really

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: a part of the progression at that point. And then

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: you got you know, then you got two guys who

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: are trying to cover one. And then you get the

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: middle level kind of sneaking out in Robert Woods that

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: was there for a big game and one of those plays.

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that is really tough to defend. Uh.

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I noticed in this

50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: game was we got the receiver run game going once

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: again for the Rams. Uh, they leave the league and

52
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: you're waiting for that. Yeah. And then five carries from

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds and Robert Woods and went for nearly sixty

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: yards and almost all of them went for first downs.

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Those are big time plays, even if they're they're just

56
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: five of them. I mean, that was that was impressive. Yeah.

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: One thing on the other side, Quandre Digs looking like

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: a pretty good pickup. I know they to win this

59
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: football game, but a nice trade for the Seattle. See

60
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: how he goes and gets two picks. He's been lights

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: out since um he showed up in Seattle. But really

62
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: just just disappointed overall Seattle offense couldn't get anything going,

63
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: couldn't protect the quarterback and um and they really it

64
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: wasn't really a contested game. I mean, the Rams just

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of put her right. And the Rams defense has

66
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: been very jackal and hide this year. We've had some

67
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: really good games and then some games where they just

68
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: get dominated, like we saw against Baltimore. But this time

69
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: and in this game they got the Rams defense got

70
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: off the field seventy of the time against Russell Wilson

71
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: in in the dual threat that he poses. I think

72
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive and and a big reason why they

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: were able to limit what the Seahawks are doing on offense. Alright,

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. Well, for our next take take away, we're

75
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: gonna go to Bucky and he's got a little something

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: on a rocky quarterback. Drew lock gives the Denver Broncos juice.

77
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Texas will rush four shotguns, nap blocks, look looks left,

78
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: throws left into the end zone, passes caught. Noah Fant

79
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: touchdown Denver no offense with the touchdown reception his third

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: of the season. When you look at the rookie quarterback

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: and how he has performed for the Denver Broncos. You

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: have to be impressed. Three hundred yard day, three touchdowns,

83
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: and I think the thing that is most impressive about

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Lock is the energy that he has brought to the team,

85
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: his swag, his confidence, his ability to inspire his teammates.

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: That is exactly what you look for from a franchise quarterback.

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: We talked about it all the time. A franchise quarterback

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: gives your team hope. He has given the Denver Broncos

89
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: hope by the way that he has performed. If the

90
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: Broncos keep this up, I think they end up rolling

91
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: into but a lot of confidence that he got a

92
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: QB one. Yeah, Bucky makes some great points. They're rett

93
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: and a couple of things I want to remind people

94
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: about Drew Lock. This guy started forty plus games in

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: the SEC, so he got a lot of experience playing

96
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: against high level competition. And look at the amount of

97
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: time he was allowed to sit because of that thumb

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: injury throughout the beginning of his rookie campaign. So you've

99
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of snaps, but then you've also got

100
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: that adjustment period every rookie quarterback has to make. He

101
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: had the benefit of sitting watching, really really learning this system.

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: And Bucky used that word kind of that swagger, that confidence.

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: You could see it after every touchdown he was John

104
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans, he was feeling a little bit

105
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: and I love to me, you can't be too confident

106
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: as a young quarterback. Given me all that swagger, give

107
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: me all that confidence. Well, it looks like he's also

108
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: bringing out the best in his fellow rookie, you know,

109
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Ah Fan, and and that's encouraging you see. So now

110
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: let's just take a quick look back at the draft

111
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: class here for the Broncos. You got Noah Fan, who

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: they traded back with Pittsburgh and still we thought they

113
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: might take him at ten. They end up going back

114
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: to twenty and getting Fan and he's he's had an

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: up and down season, but look, these last couple of

116
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: games have been, you know, noteworthy in terms of progress

117
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: Withdrew Lock. And then you got Dalton Reisener, who started

118
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: every single game for them along the offensive line this year.

119
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Was there was another second round pick, right, and then

120
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: they go and get Draymond Jones later he you know,

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: like he's had some injury, got injured in this game.

122
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: But in the last seven, like since weeks seven, he'd

123
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: been a part of their rotation. Those are your first

124
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: four picks. You feel pretty good about that moving forward.

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: And for a team that's kind of struggled in terms

126
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: of big time draft classes in the last couple of years,

127
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: that's again some signs of life in a season that

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: we thought was lost. I don't forget their first round

129
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: pick from last year. Bradley Chubs missed the season, so's

130
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna get him back next year? Is really one of

131
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: the best young pass rushers in the NFL, teaming back

132
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: up with Von Miller. So some hope, some optimism there

133
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: on the horizon for the Denver Broncos and their organization

134
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: looks like maybe, uh, they finally figured out this whole

135
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: quarterback thing. What you got next? Next up? Even it'll

136
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: win the Browns lose. Hayfield shotgunt, he's got the snaff

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: facts settles, looks up in the pocket, runs up to

138
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the corner. He stood a chad, He's to the five.

139
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: He dots around the pylon. No sick up, happy dude. Touchdown,

140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfiel, What a job by his body. Don't hung

141
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: around the pylon and get it in as he runs

142
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: it in from seven yards down on third and goal.

143
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: So in a game where we should be talking about

144
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: a Brown's victory, Baker mayfield rushing touchdown in the rushing

145
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: attack as a whole, really coming in and kind of

146
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: proving and picking up where they left off from a

147
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: year ago when they kind of caught fire late in

148
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the season. Instead we are talking about another installment of

149
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland drama. I'd say that, you know, he wasn't handled right. Um,

150
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: he's not able to run as well as he should

151
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: be able to, as well as he knows, and that's

152
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: frustrating for him. Uh it's you can since that's some

153
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: of his frustration where that comes from. So I wouldn't

154
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: handle the right way in our training room. So uh well,

155
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is, and so his

156
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: not is still good enough for us. So that's Baker

157
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: Mayfield talking about the report that came out before the

158
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: game that Odell Beckham has been dealing with a sports

159
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: hernia injury since training camp and one of the reasons

160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: why we just haven't seen him take off this season

161
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: for Cleveland. And then he I mean, he says, inadvertently

162
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: throwing the training staff under the bus for their mishandling

163
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: of the whole situation. Now, do you want to mention

164
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: he did come out and clarify his remarks then apologize

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: that he wasn't trying to again take shots at anybody

166
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: within the organization. But again, this is this was after

167
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: a win, and this is what we're talking about here.

168
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: This is after a win. Uh And this is not

169
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: the first time. I want to just read to you

170
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: a couple of headlines that I saw in Cleveland dot

171
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: com today again after a win. This is what it says,

172
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland brown beats Cleveland Browns beat Cincinnati Bengals, but uneasiness lingers.

173
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Another headline, the Browns have won for their last five games,

174
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: So why doesn't it feel like it? I mean, that's

175
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. I mean, you go back

176
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 1: to the you know, obviously, when they beat Pittsburgh the

177
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: first time, you have the whole uh Myles Garrett Mason

178
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: Rudolph situation that taints another victory here in the division,

179
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: a big one, right, and then going into the second

180
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: Steelers game, they lose and you're again you're talking about

181
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: the T shirt thing with Freddie Kitchens. This team cannot

182
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: get out of their own way? What is going on there?

183
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Is it systemic? Is it an organizational issue? Is it

184
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: something that you can fix? I don't know, but man,

185
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: we you can't. You cannot sustain UH as a six

186
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: tessiful organization dealing with this kind of stuff weekend in

187
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: week out. I feel like I've given this a speech

188
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: so many times. I won't bore everybody with the same speech.

189
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: I mean, it's two words, maturity and poise, and that's

190
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: two things. It's not just Baker Mayfield. It's an organization

191
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: wide situation there that they just lack that they don't

192
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: have maturity, they don't have poise. They've they've struggled to

193
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: handle adversity and success. Um. So you know, look the

194
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: Browns again, a lot of a lot of pieces in place.

195
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Baker turned the ball over a couple of times, but

196
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: he's overall played better. They're running the football really well.

197
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: A lot of things to like, but man, it's just

198
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: like you said, right, every every week it's something else,

199
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: and it's it's just to me, the biggest thing, just

200
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: a lack of maturity. Right. There is a lot to like,

201
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: like the Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb run game and pass

202
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: game out of the backfield is as good as we're

203
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: seeing in football right now, and again, and and then

204
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: like that's not even to mention the fact that you've

205
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: got the report out there from Glazer Jay Glazer that

206
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham is telling basically anyone who will listen that

207
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: he wants out already. I mean, like, I love to

208
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: give the guy the benefit of the doubt and credit

209
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: to him for playing through a sports ania core muscle

210
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: injury that is as difficult as it gets because your

211
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: core connects to everything, um, and I can imagine how

212
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: painful that is for a receiver trying to deal with that.

213
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: But man, it's just it's got to stop following him.

214
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: It's gotta stop following this team. We're starting to get

215
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: a few years removed now from the elite, O'Dell Beckham

216
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: to be like, that's not just right over, it's getting

217
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: further and further in the rear a couple of years now,

218
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. So anyways, it something to keep

219
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: an eye on. One thing is Cleveland always keeps it interesting.

220
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: We can't got any other than that. So the schedule

221
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: still favorable as they come down the stretch here, I'm

222
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna go up to the a FC East,

223
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: a team that's ran that division which seems like forever.

224
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: But man, that is some ugly offense in New England.

225
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: It takes the Snapchief spring crush, left side throw in

226
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: the end zone, broken up in the end zone around handleman,

227
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: knockdown by for shot Brelan, Yes, deep in the end zone.

228
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: The sheeps holed on down to the five yard line. Well,

229
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: that final play there ret kind of a symbolic of

230
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: this Patriots offense where you had Jacoby Myers who was

231
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: opened Tom Brady, wouldn't throw the ball our good buddy

232
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: dan Orlovski over the ESPN. That nice job breaking that

233
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: scenario down. You've got three drop passes from Jacoby Myers

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the game. Uh, doesn't trust him, wouldn't put

235
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: it on him. Decided to force the ball into Julian Edelman.

236
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: And this is an offense that just can't find anything.

237
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: They're not they're not winning up front like we've seen

238
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: this offensive line do in years. Pass so that Frank

239
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: Clark and company collapsing the pocket on Tom Brady. Um,

240
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: you missed your center and Andrews. That showed up Chris

241
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Jones getting an interior pressure. There's no trust. I mean,

242
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: I could go, we could go on and on and

243
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: on about what's wrong with this Patriot offense. Yeah, and

244
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. I mean, offensive line not getting it done.

245
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean they're winning with defense, special teams in trickery,

246
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: trickery on offense. I mean, that's how they got their

247
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: two best plays in this game was the Fleet flicker

248
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: touchdown to Edelman uh to begin things. And then I

249
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: think James White threw a pass to Jacoby Myers that

250
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: was uh, that went for chunk play. So I'm looking

251
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: at Mohamed's new at thirty nine snaps, he had one

252
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: target and one catch on the day. Nikkil Harry played

253
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: two snaps two Uh, he had one catch and it

254
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: was I mean, unfortunately, it was a catch that should

255
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown, clearly stayed in bounds, but the

256
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: Patriots couldn't challenge it because they were already out of challenges.

257
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: That Obviously a big talking point in New England this

258
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: morning is the fact that it was not a great

259
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: game by the officials on that crew. They had some

260
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: questionable calls that skewed more towards the Chiefs in terms

261
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: of impact. So and then Jacoby Myers the three drops,

262
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you called it wide open on the fourth down,

263
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: didn't didn't go to him. But I think we should

264
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: also give some credit to the Chiefs defense. Remember with

265
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: Mike Arefolo on with us on the aftermath last week

266
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: and was talking about this is kind of a hallmark

267
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: of Steve's Steve Spagnola led defenses, the defensive coordinator for

268
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs was with the Giants for a long time

269
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: when Mike was there covering that team and was talking

270
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: about how those defenses got better as the season went on.

271
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: And that is absolutely the case here, proving that they

272
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: are definitely not a liability for the Chiefs moving forward,

273
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: which is something we couldn't say a year ago. So

274
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: that of course begs the question, you know, does that

275
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: make this team a more viable Super Bowl contender moving forward?

276
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: I'd have to say yes. Well, here here's one question

277
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: to tie tie these together. Man, if the Chiefs can

278
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: somehow close out strong, they've got the Broncos, the Bears,

279
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and the Patriots drop a game here. Now

280
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: you've got the Chiefs vaulting into that number two seeds

281
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs, if they're the three seed, could

282
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: still go to the Super Bowl. I do not think

283
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: that New England Patriots having to play that extra game

284
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: could make it all the way through. I just don't

285
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: see that happening, right. You want to see the Patriots

286
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: at arrowhead of the Patriots in Baltimore. Um, I don't know. No,

287
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll have and I mean they still

288
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: gonna play the Bills again. And while I get the

289
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: Bills didn't pass a test against the a f C

290
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: elite and with the Ravens this week, I mean, and

291
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to that here in just a minute, but um,

292
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: you know that's not a given. The a f C

293
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: East is not a given for the Patriots, which is

294
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: teams strange to say. Heading into all right, let's uh,

295
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: let's get to our buddy Bucky here, who is the

296
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: president of the Ryan TANNEI Ryan Tannehill is on fire way,

297
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: Fake Tannon Hill, looking throwing deep down the middle, going

298
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: for Brown. Brown's got it at the fifty breaks the

299
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: tackle of the forty, to the thirty, to the twenty,

300
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: to the ten, to the five, to the end zone.

301
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, that is ninety one yards touchdown, Titans

302
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: their longest touchdown pass in over five years. The Titans

303
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: quarterback has really been the biggest change for their team,

304
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: for their offense. Uh you talk about the team does

305
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: one six out of their last seven. He had continues

306
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: to do it in a spectacular way. Three hundred yard day,

307
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes, and what I like is the connection

308
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: that he has with A J. Brown. A J. Brown

309
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: five catches fifty three yards, two touchdowns. This passing game

310
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: compliments a dominant rushing attack spirit headed by Derrick Henry.

311
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: When they made the change to Ryan Tannehill, Mike Rabel

312
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: wanted to give this offense energy because he was looking

313
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: for a spark. Ryan Tannehill has respotted in splendid fashion.

314
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: He is the reason the Titans are maybe the most

315
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: dangerous team in the A f C. Wol Well, here's

316
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: my reaction to Bucky's. To Bucky's take there, he's all in,

317
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: He's all in there, but my but my takeaway actually

318
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: goes back to college because I'm watching those highlights and

319
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Bucky and how he's bought in with A. J. Brown,

320
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: And who's who wouldn't buy in the way she's playing.

321
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Did I missed it? Almost? They won the SEC the

322
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: year before, right with A J. Brown and DK Metcalf

323
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: and Dalton Knox. Right, Yeah, I must just not be

324
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: looking at something correct the world? Were they not better

325
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: with all these guys? Good? I know, I guess it

326
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: comes down to the quarterback, right, Um? But look, you're right,

327
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: that's been I mean A J. Brown has had some

328
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: huge games. It makes you wonder, you know, when are

329
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: we gonna get Corey Davis? Like is he capable of

330
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: some of those big games as well? And are they

331
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna have a nice one to punch there? Um? We

332
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: know what Derrick Henry can do. But look, when you're

333
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: the subject of one of our takeaways for like six

334
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: straight weeks, which Ryan Tannehill has been, you're doing you're

335
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: doing something right. I don't know if that alone will

336
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: get him, you know, his next contract with the Tennessee Titans.

337
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: But look, it's got to be something you you know,

338
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: your agent talks about when he goes into negotiations with

339
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: John Robinson, Like, look, you know, DJ, Bucky and Rhett

340
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: are on the Tannehill bandwagon. He's been on the move.

341
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: The Sticks ten take Away Podcast basically the whole season.

342
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: This guy deserves big money. Um, but that is the question.

343
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Has he done enough to earn a contract with the

344
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: Titans or with someone else? Because there's and here's the thing.

345
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: He's a good player, right, He's he's always been a

346
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: good player. If you're a good not great player, your

347
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: performance will depend on what's around you. So if he

348
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: has some pieces around him, he's gonna be successful. He's

349
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: a good player. He's not an elite great player that's

350
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna pull everybody else along with him. He's well established

351
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: with who Ryan Tannehill is. So if you feel comfortable

352
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: confident about the roster you have around him, absolutely, you

353
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: play with Ryan Tannell, You're gonna win a lot of

354
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: football games. I'd say minimum they franchise tag him at

355
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: this point with what he's done thus far. I think

356
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: the next three the next three games will determine whether

357
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: they decide to pony up the five years, hundred and

358
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: fifty million, you know, the thirty million dollar deal, because

359
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: the next three games they've got the Texans twice, which

360
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: will determine the winner of the a f C South

361
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: this year. They also gotta play the Saints in that mix,

362
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: so they go Texans Saints Texans. That's as tough as

363
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: the three game stretch as there is in the season.

364
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: To me, that determines whether they go after him long

365
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: term or whether they're going to go franchise Tag and

366
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: let him play that out. So I feel like that's

367
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: where we're going. Who are they going to get this

368
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: better than Ryan? TOI right now? Probably nobody? Nobody. Yeah,

369
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: but I mean, are you still Are you still happy

370
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: with that for the next five to six years? Is

371
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: the question? Yeah? How long that you want to make

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. I hear what you're saying. Kind

373
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: of how he close out depends on whether or not

374
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: you want to do a long term deal. To me,

375
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: I think you kind of make the decision. We're comfortable

376
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: with who he is. Now, let's allocate our resources. Um, right,

377
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: how do we keep team playmakers? Exactly? Right? Exactly, We'll

378
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: see what they do that would be playing for anybody

379
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: other than the Tennessee Titans. No, I'm with you on that. Yeah,

380
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: And I think Jameis Winston might be in a similar situation,

381
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: which we'll get into later. Up next for me, we're

382
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: going to Orchard Park, New York, where the Ravens defense

383
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: stands for the Ravens D stands for dangerous fourth down

384
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: on a Josh Allen out of the shotgun, Devin Singletary

385
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: with him in the backfield, Ravens show blitz. Here comes

386
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas off the edge single Arry's pass over in

387
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the middle. It is incomplete, no flag on the play.

388
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, what the play? And with one oh three

389
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: left in Buffalo, the Hayes in the barn and you

390
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: heard the radio call they're talking about Earl Thomas, and

391
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: Earl after the game said this team, this Ravens team

392
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: is as good as the Seahawks he was on that

393
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: obliterated the Broncos for a Super Bowl championship. And at

394
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: this point I'd have to agree with him because defensively

395
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: they are you know that that's maybe the one storyline

396
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: about the Ravens that has been a little bit under

397
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: the radar. They are proving that they're really good. I

398
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: mean like and I think since Marcus Peters has come

399
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: over for Baltimore, they've been even better. In fact, our

400
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: palm Mike Silver, who will hear from on the Aftermath

401
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: today on NFL Network three p m. Eastern time had

402
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: a nice piece. They're talking about what Marcus Peters has

403
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: meant to this Wink Martindale, the defensive coordinator defense, and

404
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: it has given him the opportunity to blitzmore, to take

405
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: more risks because now you have Marlon Humphrey, you have

406
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith and Marcus Peters back there who can cover

407
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: one on one, which gives you the opportunity. I think

408
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: they called uh silver told this, they called fourteen zero

409
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: blitzes in this game against Josh Allen. That's a lot

410
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: that is leaving your corners out there, UH to cover

411
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: a lot with no help, and it paid off. So

412
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: that trade has been huge for Baltimore bringing Marcus Peters in.

413
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: He makes the deflection on basically the game saving the

414
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: game saving pass from Josh Allen to John Brown, and look,

415
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: I think he's been a huge edition. A couple of

416
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: pick six is already so um that's out there NFL

417
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: dot com slash silver if you want to read it.

418
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: But I think the defense is proven that they can

419
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: make it stand up, you know, even when the offense

420
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson is not lighting up scoreboard. You mentioned

421
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: the addition of Peters there, and I want to go

422
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: back to a couple of losses they had back to back,

423
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: the last two losses they've had this year, they give

424
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: up to the Browns, they give or to the Chiefs,

425
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: they give up thirty three. The next week they give

426
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: up forty Browns, and then look at these numbers as

427
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: they come down, Steelers they give up twenty three and

428
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: a win. Bengals seventeen, Seahawks sixteen, Patriots twenty Bengals, thirteen Texans,

429
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: that offense seven points, Rams, that offense six points, Niners

430
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: although the weather was a factor there seventeen points, and

431
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: then this Bill's offense seventeen points. So uh, coming off

432
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: those back to back losses, as defenses continues to improving

433
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: it better and better and they've played some good offenses. Um,

434
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: I would love to have seen that forty Niners game

435
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: in a little bit better conditions to see how that

436
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: would have that would have turned out to give him

437
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: a good challenge here, But spoiler alert, ain't gonna get

438
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: a test from the Jets this week. Uh. Questions whether

439
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: or not the Jets are gonna score will be something

440
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. And I've I'll be honest,

441
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: read I I fully appreciate, and I would give my

442
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: m v P vote to Lamar Jackson. But I'm still

443
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: one of those people that every week I'm kind of

444
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting, Okay, somebody's gonna try and is gonna

445
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: figure this out. Defensively, they're gonna they're gonna kind of

446
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: solve this puzzle, and Bills thinking it's gonna be this

447
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: week and then it's not. Then it's the next week. Now,

448
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: the forty Niners slowed them down, the Bills slowed them down.

449
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: They've slowed it down. But when they've had to make plays,

450
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: they've still found a way to make just enough plays

451
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: to win the football game. And and that's it. That's

452
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: the key, right when they really need it. I feel

453
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: like you can count on Lamar even if it's third

454
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: and eight, You can count on him for nine yards

455
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: on a scramble like even you know, that's just the

456
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: extra added dimension that you're just not gonna get with

457
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: every team in football right now. And I mean he

458
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: still goes out there. The throw he made to Hayden

459
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: Hurst with a defender coming in like a missile at

460
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: his midsection. Uh, and still all the money to Hurst

461
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: who races and outruns. The rest of the defense for

462
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: the touchdown was as impressive as any I saw this week,

463
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: So you know, he's got all the tools. The thing

464
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: on the flip side of this game, that does give

465
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: me some pause for the Bills prospects moving forward, as

466
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing a little bit of a line

467
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: here with the a f C elite the Ravens, and

468
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: then a team a team that's very good in the Bills,

469
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: and I think I think what we're learning is the

470
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: Bills pass game is not quite ready for prime time

471
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: just yet against a really good defense. That's where because

472
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they ran the ball actually decently against Devin

473
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: with Devin Singletary against Baltimore, it's where they kind of

474
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: made their made their hey, yet they were still in

475
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: a position to win and tie the game late. So

476
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: I just I think the past game there for Buffalo

477
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: is probably the different. Yea, I think that is, and

478
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: that's the question for them going forward. You get in

479
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: the postseason, the windows shrink, the field shrinks, You've got

480
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: to be able to make three or four those throws,

481
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: and that's just kind of the question whether this Bill's

482
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: passing game is ready to take that next step We'll

483
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. The most impressive thing, by

484
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: the way I've seen the last twenty fo hours, Rehett

485
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: being able to identify the correct camera. He is a pro.

486
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it there with that, all right, Let's see, Like,

487
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: let's get to the next one here, which is the

488
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts and a complete flop job in Tampa. Hup.

489
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Here's the staff past on the left side, got a

490
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: bubble stream set up, tackle right out at the point

491
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: to make fun funckball picked up by the bucket. Are

492
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: fox have the ball? Tampa bagas course to take away?

493
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: It's Mike Edwards with the football. Harland Tampa Bay bunger.

494
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: There's force the first take away. That's our second of

495
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: the year. Edwards. That picture, that's your That was Devin

496
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: White with forcing the fumble. Who's really put together some

497
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: big time plays over the last month. He's been outstanding

498
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: there for the Bucks. But you know, Red, I know

499
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: they've had injuries there in Indianapolis. A lot of teams

500
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: have had injuries. Man, What in the world is going

501
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: on with this team? That's tough. Man. It's like they

502
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: were without Marlon Mack for about three weeks, just as

503
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: he was really getting getting going when they had that

504
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: game against I forget who it was, but they had

505
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: the two hundred yard rushers with him in Franklin. And

506
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: then you know, give me the quote from Bruce Arians

507
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: about the two receivers Marcus Johnson and Zach Caslona, and

508
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: he just said, he said, look, we did we did

509
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: some good things, um offensively at and I know they

510
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: look this Colts team was missing a lot of bodies,

511
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: but man, we made these cults receivers look like Marvin

512
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Harrison Reggie Waite did They really did think that He's

513
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: used them in that light. So it was interesting taking

514
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: away there from Bruce Arians. It was. And they've allowed

515
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: thirty plus points in a game for the eighth time

516
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: this season. That's tied for the most in the NFL.

517
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: UM However, how about Shack Barrett Quiet fifteen sacks this season.

518
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: That's insane. Now, if they could just figure out the

519
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: secondary a little bit. Uh, They've got the players up

520
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: front and on the second level with Devin White, Lavante David,

521
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be fun to watch for the

522
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: next few years. They just I mean, there's a lot

523
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: of young players in that secondary that they've spent high

524
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: draft resources on that just haven't come to fruition. But

525
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: but can we just can can I just talk about

526
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: the best short term memory in the history of the

527
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: NFL again with James Jamis Winston. JI, I mean with

528
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: without fail, no one is as unfazed by interceptions as

529
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, and God bless him for it. But I

530
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: think it's absolutely an admirable quality. And I am not

531
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: making fun. This is a dead, straight face serious take here.

532
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: That is that is a really important quality for starting quarterbacks.

533
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: It's just he has to display it very often, which

534
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: is the problem. But but can I just say that

535
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: I just you know, another important quality, another important quality repeatedly.

536
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: But here's what here's what I want to say. DJ.

537
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: I feel like I just want to hang out with James.

538
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: I want him to just follow me around because like

539
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: anything that goes anything that goes wrong, he'll just be like,

540
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, do it. We'll get him next time.

541
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: Watch what's throw a touchdown in the next on the

542
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: next possession. It's still problem anything that happens. Uh, you know,

543
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep my spirits up. He's gonna keep me resilient.

544
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna highlight the positive in the face of negative.

545
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: I want Jameis Winston around because he's gonna make me

546
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: feel better about myself. He's gonna make me understand that,

547
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, when something goes wrong and you know, maybe

548
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: I bought you a bump on the aftermath later today,

549
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. You got another shot next time

550
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: to throw a touchdown on that bump on that tease.

551
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: So thank you, James. I think it's that's out there.

552
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: I think it's cute that you said, maybe he'll what's

553
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: that shirt you're wearing to stay stay positive? Come on,

554
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: stay positive. I'm positive you're gonna mess up. Uh the

555
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: uh Look the thing with the thing with jamis I

556
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: I go back and you know, looking the scouting side

557
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: of things, the baseball already played baseball for to state

558
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: I would I'm cut sious. I guarantee you he's had

559
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: a couple experience of walking the bases loaded before striking

560
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: out the side, No question, no question. That's a good

561
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: that's a good analogy. What are you got? All right,

562
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: I'll get us the next one here. The Packers are

563
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: at their best when Aaron Jones is the focal point

564
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: and the snap the kid Jones up the middle, cuts

565
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: it back straight ahead, did the ends out, He dines

566
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: in with a touchdown. The Packers take us six nothing lead,

567
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: four yard touchdown run by Aaron Jones to the lambo

568
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: lead to the south end. Zones stand like he was

569
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: their leading rusher and they're leading receiver in this game.

570
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: Now you can see which you want about the Packers.

571
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: They go a fourteen nothing in this game, looks like

572
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: they're on their way to a blowout. And the foot

573
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: kind of came off the pedal, pedal comes off the

574
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: floor a little bit, and they let the Redskins back

575
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: into this game. They actually had a shot recover onside

576
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: kick and then go down for a fuel goal but

577
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: or another touchdown rather so. Um. But the thing is,

578
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I think we're we've seen when the Packers offense is

579
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: at their best, Aaron Rodger, Aaron Jones is what's driving

580
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: it on the ground, they are most successful. I mean,

581
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: he had almost nine yards that carry in this game,

582
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: sixteen carries for over a hundred and thirty yards. It

583
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: makes you say, like, why didn't they why didn't they

584
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: keep giving it to him? You know why didn't they

585
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: give it to him more? Um, I mean thirty two

586
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: carries might have gott him three hundred yards in this game,

587
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: is what it felt like. So, UM like, I know

588
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to do that, but I think I

589
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: think we've seen with this uh, this Mattel Floor led

590
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: offense that they are running football team and when they

591
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: run it really well, they can compete with anybody in football.

592
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: And so you know, that's that's what I feel like. Um,

593
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: it makes me less worried that Aaron Rodgers is has

594
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: his ninth game with sube passer rating. I like, I

595
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: don't care about that when they're running the football, well,

596
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't care about the fact that he's thrown for

597
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: under two hundred yards in three of the last five

598
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: games when they are running the football successfully, because you

599
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: know what that does, DJ. You know, your defense isn't

600
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: on the field for as long. Um. Everybody's a little

601
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: bit fresher, you know, the offensive line is UM is

602
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: working a little bit better in that regard and you're

603
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: keeping you know, you're you're keeping hits off Aaron Rodgers.

604
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: So I just feel like that's the way to go

605
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: for this team. Yeah, I mean in theory. Yeah, I mean,

606
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: they give up four sacks in this game, and I

607
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: go back to watching them in person with the Chargers

608
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: front getting apt from we saw what the forty Niners

609
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: front did to them. So I gotta run at four

610
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: sacks in this game of the Redskins, I know. But

611
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: I just start thinking about this Packer team, and I

612
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: start thinking about them getting in the postseason, and I

613
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: look at the matchups that they're going to have in

614
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: the postseason and whether or not you're in the camp

615
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers holds the ball too long, which he

616
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: does at times, or whether you're in the camp that

617
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: says this offensive line doesn't pass protect very well. That

618
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: to me is a major, major cautionary tale for what's

619
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: ahead of them once they get into the tournament. They've

620
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: they've got to get better in that area because you

621
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: just can't keep drives alive when you're taking sacks like that.

622
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: So that's my that's my one piece there on the

623
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: The good news is that they can all they can

624
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: sack the quarterback with the best of the teams as well,

625
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: was Darius Smith, and with rust and Smith and with

626
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark and Rashawn Gary, I mean there was one

627
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: play where they caused absolute havoc for Dwayne Haskins. I

628
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: mean a couple of plays like that. They sacked him,

629
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: um I think four times as well. So um yeah,

630
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: they got to him four four times. There you go.

631
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: All right, what do we got next? All right? Well,

632
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: I always do one from the game I was doing

633
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: with Charger Games and got to see something pretty unique

634
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: in this game against the Jags, and it involved a

635
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: very talented running back named Austin Ekeler. Are left two

636
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: to the right. He throws a little wide receiver screen

637
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: to Ekeler, who was lined up with the wide receiver

638
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: to the fort fifty Jadwar territory forty twenty ten five touchdown,

639
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: just like that. Yeah, that was pretty cool right there

640
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: to listen to that. Uh, that was the Jaguars side

641
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: of things. And then on the flip side, I see

642
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: you're now pulling a little Tony Rollo action as we

643
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: were listening to this one on the radio of the

644
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Chargers broadcast. Let's see how that unfolded with you and

645
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Eckler now in for Gordon not wide of the numbers

646
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: right and the slot as Henry left. You got a

647
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: linebacker on and tick blitz. There's Heckler gets a block,

648
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: it's a foot race forty fifty into Jack's territory thirty

649
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: twenty Austin that clar to the end zone touchdown shots.

650
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: There's nobody there. I mean, you had blockers and two defenders,

651
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: and once he got by that first line, there was

652
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: nothing between him and the end zone. A foot race

653
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: one by Austin Ekeler. That was set up beautifully that

654
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: they had. They had the screen set up on both sides.

655
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: But it's it's just fun to watch how they've used

656
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. You know, the season has not gone the

657
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: way the Chargers want to go. But he's on pace

658
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: to have over a thousand receiving yards. He's having a

659
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: phenomenal year and and goes a hundred a hundred in

660
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: this game, which is the first time since nine hundred

661
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards and hunter receiving yards by a player

662
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: Linel Little Train. James was the last one to do that.

663
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: Was shocked. LT never had a hundred hundred games. Really

664
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: when you consider how many how many balls he caught. Yeah,

665
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: I was shocked by that. Um. But on that play, Rhett,

666
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: they they split Eckler out and what we've seen going

667
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: back to the Titans game. If you remember that game,

668
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: that was a weird ending with the fumble by Melvin

669
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: Gordon India and stuff. Yeah, but they were splitting Austin

670
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: Ekeler out and early on that game they were matching

671
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: him with a linebacker and he was tearing him apart.

672
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: So then about halfway through the Titans switched. They ended

673
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: up pulling the linebacker put a safety out there. Um,

674
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: some teams have put a corner out there, but we

675
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: haven't seen many teams match him with the linebacker since

676
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: that Tennessee game. So when he lines up wide on

677
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: a third and ten with no middlefield safety and I

678
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: look out there and you see a linebacker, like a

679
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: little bell goes off and goes, oh, that's not gonna

680
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: end well for Jacksonville. Well, I was thankful that we

681
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: spot shadow the linebacker as you called it out there

682
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: on the broadcast when you when you mentioned as a

683
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: linebacker on Nickler. We did a little spot shadow because

684
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: that was the last time you saw him in the frame.

685
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Because once Heckler got the ball was over. I couldn't

686
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: even tell who it was that was it. It was gone.

687
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: Uh that yeah, look, that's crazy, and you know it

688
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: makes me wonder what the Chargers are gonna do with

689
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, you know, after the season. So we can

690
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: obviously get to that that question, burn that bridge when

691
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: we get there. But it does it is something you know,

692
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: worth figuring out since you know, when Austin Ekeler has

693
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: been in there and been a focal point. Again, it's

694
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: it does seem like that's when the Chargers have also

695
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: been at their best. Right, And then I got on

696
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: the flip side, is this just trending towards another total

697
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: tear down in Jacksonville? Well? How did how do we

698
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: get here so quick? This is and this is the thing,

699
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: there's nobody in the stadium. Uh, it really emptied out

700
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: early on. And then when you look at their their

701
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: losses that they've had here, uh coming lately to three

702
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: thirty three to third, coming on glue to eleven forty

703
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: five to ten, I mean they're getting their doors blown off.

704
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: And on the other side of things, you look at

705
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: this Chargers team. How's this for a nugget ret this team,

706
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers have a plus thirty eight point differential there

707
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: five and eight um and then you look look at

708
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: a team like the Seattle Seahawks. There ten and three

709
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: with a plus twenty point differential. Oh my gosh, look

710
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: to play that one. Can't you can't write one getting ready,

711
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, one competing for the top spot in the

712
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: NFC and one just playing out the string here. You

713
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: know that's that's crazy. Next one, last one, best one.

714
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is a winner. Lorti hiders had no yards

715
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: rushing so far on two carry shows a play action

716
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: at Kittle groboloim looking for a team ball and rolling

717
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: down the middle for a Manuel Sanders. He's got it.

718
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: He was knocked down. Even get up and run. He

719
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: may have been touchdown breaks a Tackleton BI taps down, saying, Francisco,

720
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: here's your football game. High staffer snow stick outa town.

721
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: Robbie Golds kick is Rabbie gold Geeks New Orleans Saints

722
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: at the gun. Oh man, that was a game. My goodness,

723
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: was that a game? Saints and Niners was the game

724
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: of the week. Game of the year. Had a little

725
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: bit of that Rams chiefs Field from last year on

726
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: Monday Night, especially in the first half, they were just

727
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: going score for score for score for score, and then

728
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: this is what I'll say about it. Richard Sherman has

729
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: been preaching it all season. He has scolded the media

730
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: and for whoever out there that has been questioning Jimmy

731
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and whether he was a reason for the forty

732
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: Niners success or whether they were succeeding despite him. Um.

733
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Garoppolo put those questions to bed in

734
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: this game because he went blow for blow and throw

735
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: for throw with Drew Brees on this day, kept the

736
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: forty Niners in this game, got them a lead, and

737
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: then had to sit there and watch Drew Brees with

738
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: about a minute or so left on the clock march

739
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: the Saints down for a touchdown drive that gave them

740
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: the lead. So the vaunted forty Niners defense gives up

741
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: forty six points in this game, then gives the ball

742
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: back to Jimmy Garoppolo down down right forty five with

743
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: fifty three seconds left, and he engineers the game winning

744
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: field goal drive to go win on the road in

745
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: the most hostile and toughest road environment the NFL has

746
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: to offer one of if you want to argue Seattle

747
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: or Arrowhead. But I'll put the super Dome up there

748
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: with any of them, and he gets it done. The

749
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: fourth down throw, I get it. It was a short throw,

750
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: still a big, big play to be made, and obviously

751
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: George Kittle deserves a lot of credit. But I think

752
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: we have to recognize Jimmy Garoppolo as a France as

753
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: in this game is a franchise quarterback, big boy, big

754
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: spotlight type of win for this quarterback, and I think

755
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: we need to start recognizing him as as a true

756
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: elite quarterback in this league. Hey, pass the confetti test,

757
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'll talk about the confetti tests all the time.

758
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: Can you imagine him hoisting the trophy with the confettio

759
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: down And I can do that with Jimmy Garoppolo. He's

760
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: good enough for them to get all the way through

761
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: the tournament. Interesting thing about Jimmy Garoppolo, Halloween is a

762
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: marker because nine touchdowns, seven picks before Halloween, sixteen touchdowns

763
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: four picks after Halloween. So he's really started to crank

764
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: this thing up. And I think one of the key

765
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: reasons for that Emmanuel Sanders. In that trade we talked

766
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: about personnel. There's a lot of different ways you can

767
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: acquire talent. It's not just the draft, it's not just

768
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: free agency. Don't forget that trade component. And as you

769
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: look at the teams making their run towards the postseason,

770
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: ask yourself this question. Would the Pittsburgh Steelers be still

771
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: in content without Mika Fitzpatrick Nope? No. Would the Baltimore

772
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Ravens be situated where they are without Marcus Peters No?

773
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: Would the San Francisco forty Niners be exactly where they

774
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: are right now without Emmanuel Sanders No. I mean, these

775
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: teams have made key pickups to help them make a

776
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: push here, uh, to try and get where they all

777
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: want to go. And I applaud those teams not saying

778
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: stan in pat trying to be aggressive, make something happen.

779
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: And and all these players have not just coming there

780
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: and fit in. They've come in there and excelled and

781
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: made a big difference. Look, that's a real credit to

782
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: John Lynch and to Kyle Shanahan because you go back

783
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: there three most reliable receivers last year, Marquis Goodwin, Trent

784
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: Taylor and Dante Pettis, all three of which have been

785
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: virtual afterthoughts this season. I mean, you have you complete,

786
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: you have basically completely and they're still there right there.

787
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: Also there Taylor has been injured the whole season. Marky's

788
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: good when it I mean, he can't get on the

789
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: field at this point, it seems. And then and Dante

790
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: Pettis is I know, he's been a little banged up

791
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: to but it's been Kendrick Borne, it's been Deebo Samuel,

792
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: and it's been Emmanuel Sanders since he came over, and

793
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: obviously George Kittle. But I'm just talking about at the

794
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: receiver spot. You basically have a complete transformation and you're

795
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: still able, you know, to get things done at that position.

796
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: That is that definitely a credit to those guys and

797
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: for putting those guys in positions where they can succeed. Um,

798
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, man, I tell you what, man, you know

799
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: this this brought me back to the days of sitting

800
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: up in Section two three in the Super Dome and

801
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: watching the Saints Luci of the forty nine and it

802
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: was it was Joe Montana and dueling. You know, it

803
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't quite like that. Montana always won that

804
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: one too, But um that that was a fun game

805
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: to watch. I hope we get a chance to see

806
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: it again in the playoffs. Well right, that was a

807
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: fun show. Great to have Bucky contributing from over in England.
