00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: It still feels good.

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 5: I should have you know what I should have googled.

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 5: I should have googled it. I should have googled like

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 5: the rock. I would have known. But I know, I

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 5: know Kurt Signetty like this is a big fan of

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 5: sending people to Google.

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: I should have done it.

26
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: I should go that's all right, we'll get I can't

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: wait to see where he's coaching next year. Man, that's

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: a good guys.

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: Oh he's going He's going to Carolina. You didn't know.

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Now we're already off the rails. Let's let's just out

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: of the games.

32
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: All right.

33
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 4: But the NFL games to get to.

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna get to. The four teams are undefeated.

35
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Enternt this this weekend's play here that I'm very familiar

36
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: with yesterday. There you go. I'll please Buck save us.

37
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: You can start us off. We'll go Buffalo Baltimore. The

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Dereck Henry show, Buck ninety nine two touchdowns. This is

39
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens team not long ago is zero and two,

40
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: and now they are right back where they want to

41
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: be and playing well on all three phases.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, DJ.

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: Sometimes you got to take two steps backwards before you

44
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: go two steps forward. And when I look at the

45
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens, they had to get popped in the mouth

46
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: until they decided, like, you know what, guys, I think

47
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 5: we need to figure out.

48
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: What our identity is.

49
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 5: I think our identity is we're gonna run the football

50
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 5: with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. We're gonna play great defense,

51
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 5: and we're gonna win a bunch of games. And it's

52
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 5: funny that they wasted a couple of games before they

53
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 5: got to that, but they're here now, and the team

54
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 5: that played on Sunday night, if they continue.

55
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: To play that way, they're going to be a problem

56
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: for people.

57
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: Because the combination of the two time rushing champ busting

58
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 5: out for eighty yards on the first first time he

59
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 5: touches it and then Lamar Jackson picking and choosing when

60
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 5: he wants to run the ball. I don't know how

61
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: you defense this unit. And the fact that Muckett has

62
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: added some motions, some misdirection, some deception to enhance the

63
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: running game.

64
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: Good luck Baltimore Ravens are back being what Baltimore Ravens are.

65
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, I think, there's two things

66
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: that I caught up with, outside of obviously the headline being,

67
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: you know, the King rules and rains in Baltimore. Once again,

68
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 3: that's Derrick Henry. But they made some changes along the

69
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: offensive line. Patrick McCary, who had played a lot of

70
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: right tackle the first three moved over to left guard

71
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: and played every snap at left guard.

72
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: And then they got Roger Rosengarden.

73
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: Out there at right tackle, and he had some rough

74
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: moments early in this season, but played really well in

75
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: this game. And so I think that gave him their

76
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: best five guys out there, you know, for this game

77
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: in particular. And not only did Derrick Henry make this

78
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: offense better, but Derek Henry made Justice Hill even more potent,

79
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: right because you're getting pounded with Derrick Henry, you know,

80
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: for twenty four carries, and then you got Justice Hill

81
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: in here, like he looks even faster and more explosive.

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: I think now that Henry is out there, right, I mean,

83
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: like the change up there, and we.

84
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: Talk about that a lot, but it feels real like

85
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: he caught.

86
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: He was their leading receiver six passes, seventy eight yards,

87
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: and I think just the way that you have to

88
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: prepare to deal with Derrick Henry allows Justice Hill to

89
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: find some explosiveness, you know, through the pass game and

90
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: some of those quick throws, screen passes. Man, it's just

91
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: it's hard to deal with DJ and you got all

92
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: that going at once.

93
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

94
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: And another thing, look, I watched Rosengarden was one of

95
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the notes that I had made. You've watched their explosive runs.

96
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: He shows up and the explosive runs. A nice job

97
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: there out on the right side the one. The other

98
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: note I wrote down was with Patrick Ricard, and I

99
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: see it with the Charges, we'll get to them later.

100
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: But with Scott Mattlock. Remember a few years ago when

101
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: Deebo first hit and it was like, okay, we talked

102
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: about finding Debo with a little play on words there.

103
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, teams are going to try and find a

104
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: guy to uses this kind of wing back and to

105
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: be able to get the ball, flip it to him

106
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: do different things. What Patrick Riccard does is so unique

107
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: as a three hundred pound full back slash h back,

108
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: and you look at again a lot of those big

109
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: runs he's delivering key blocks. He can, he's got really

110
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: really good feet, he fits up well, and it's just

111
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: it's like add to an extra fifty sixty pounds to

112
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: the position. You know, in a league where not many

113
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: people really even have full backs or use full backs,

114
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: they've got the unique one that's three hundred pounds. And

115
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: I see the Chargers are starting to get more and

116
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: more use of Scott matt Lock the same way Buck.

117
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: I wonder from a scouting trend, if you're going to

118
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: see a lot of these defensive linemen at these pro days.

119
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: You know, some of these guys who are maybe mid

120
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: round picks, late round picks, getting cross trained a little

121
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: bit to see if they can't fill that role.

122
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: I mean, why wouldn't you, Why wouldn't you take advantage

123
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: of the big guys, And we think about defensive line

124
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 5: and the athleticism that day ten to possess over there.

125
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: Offensive line, brethren, you have an opportunity to get a

126
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 5: sledgehammer that can lead.

127
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: Block, that can do a few different things.

128
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: So you're right, this is part of a trend that

129
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: I expect to continue to see because we're seeing the

130
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 5: game kind of go back. We're going back in time

131
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: where we're seeing more twenty one personnel, more bigs on

132
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: the field, more old.

133
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: School running game.

134
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: So you know, it's just a matter of time before

135
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: we see the four backs re emerging, some of those

136
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 5: fullbacks and it'll be former DLA a.

137
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: Real quick RHTT and then Buck follow up any concern

138
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't have any concern about the Bills in this one.

139
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: They kind of walked into the founds nests in a

140
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: night game.

141
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: And Josh Allen said the same things, like we walked

142
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: into a buzz sow and look, I think you're going

143
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: to have some of those. And as he said, I think,

144
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: you know, I'm glad we got this one now, right.

145
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: So you know, if you felt like maybe there were

146
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: some flaws maybe just play, you know, didn't play up

147
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: to up to the standard in this game, you know

148
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: that can be fixed. And and if there were some

149
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: things that that they noticed on tape that that obviously

150
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: the Ravens were ready for, then this gives them an

151
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: opportunity to correct those and get back in there and

152
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: get things done. But yeah, I don't I don't imagine

153
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: that the Josh Allen led Bills are going to have

154
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: many more games like this against the top competition. I'm

155
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 3: just glad that he's okay after this hit right here,

156
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: which you know had us kind of wondering for a

157
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: little bit because he was down on the ground.

158
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Buck, no concerns.

159
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 5: My only concern would be without a true number one

160
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 5: receiver on the perimeter. When they played the good teams,

161
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 5: the elite teams, how did they deal? We didn't see

162
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 5: that offense flow.

163
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: Man.

164
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 5: I obviously saw it at his best at Monday night

165
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: where they were going to Licary Core and everyone can go.

166
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 5: They were, they were doing their thing. But I do

167
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: wonder with al Stefan Diggs, without Gabe Davis, as they're

168
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 5: relying on this wide receiver by committee when they play

169
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: some of the elite teams, do they have enough firepower

170
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 5: to do it without Josh Allen having to play like

171
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 5: a superhero because he had to kind of go into

172
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: superhero mode on Sunday night, and it wasn't good for

173
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: the Buffalo Bills when he.

174
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: Has to play like that.

175
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Ravens are just a tough matchup

176
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams. You just don't see teams

177
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: play the way they play really on both sides of

178
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: the ball. So I'm willing to forgive that performance from

179
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Let's get to the next game here,

180
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: another undefeated team, the Kansas City Chiefs. It hasn't been pretty.

181
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Wasn't pretty in this game. You know, I was there

182
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: calling the game for the Chargers. Ten nothing. Chargers are

183
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: up early and then you see, you know, the quick

184
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: strike ability which really hasn't been there for this Chiefs

185
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: offense for quite some time. They go max protection, they

186
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: take the deep shot to Xavier where he gets them

187
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: right back in the game. It's next thing, you know,

188
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: it's ten to ten. They find a way to put

189
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: a drive together and ended up winning this ball game

190
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: seventeen to ten offensively. I still, you know, there's issues

191
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs man a huge injury Rashi Rice, who

192
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: had been really passing offense the entirety of it. He

193
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: goes down with a torn acl unfortunately on this actually

194
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: on this interception return by Christian Fulton is when it happened.

195
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: It was a little friendly fire there. So from Patrick Mahomes,

196
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: you hate to see that, but that's that's an offense.

197
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Kelsey started to get going a little bit, so that's

198
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: a promising sign for the Chiefs. I don't think their

199
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: tackles are very good. They got exposed again in this game.

200
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: That would be a reason to be concerned for the

201
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: chief side of things. But you know, Buck, we always

202
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: say it, right, Winners win. They find ways when they

203
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: need to make plays. When they needed to get a

204
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: first down late in the ballgame, they run a little

205
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: mesh and they get Xavier Worthy on Sante Samuel Junior

206
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: on a little under and he's that ice is the

207
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: game finishes the game. So that's from the chief side

208
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: of things, Chargers Charger side of things, the positives. Look,

209
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: he held the Chiefs to seventeen points. You know, so

210
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: your defense is playing well. You got after Patrick Mahomes,

211
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: You sacked him I think three times in this ballgame.

212
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: McConkie made some plays, which is good to see. I

213
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a good player. But when

214
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: you're down tackles, man, I mean we derwin James Bosa.

215
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: That's one thing. The defense was still fine, but offensive.

216
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: We think about fifteen pressures, and part of that's on

217
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: just not having you know, as not many teams do

218
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: the depth to be able to absorb those types of injuries.

219
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: And then part of it is look this Chiefs defensive front,

220
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: they're good and there are guys like Wharton who nobody

221
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: talks about, Carloftis who can bowl rush hip and then

222
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Chris Jones is a dominant player. So I mean, I've

223
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: fault the Chargers for giving up the pressures, but I

224
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: don't want to short the Chiefs their credit for what

225
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: they did up front.

226
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, really good team. Kens and Chiefs know how to do.

227
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: And you talked about winners winning, they experienced their expertise.

228
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: The fact that they've been able to do this three

229
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 5: out the last four years, kind of knowing what it

230
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 5: takes to get to the final, the final game. There's

231
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 5: some confidence that comes with that, and the fact that

232
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: they've been able to do it differently. They've done with

233
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 5: a high powered offense, they've done it with defense playing.

234
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: At an a level.

235
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 5: They have the ability to morph into whatever team they

236
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: need to to win games. And that's a dangerous thing

237
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 5: to face because they just can change spees and Andy

238
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 5: Reid is willing to do whatever it.

239
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: Takes to win.

240
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: As long as you can't see the Chiefs do that, man,

241
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 5: you have to deal with them if you're going to

242
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: get to the AFC title game.

243
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: I think a couple of things on this one.

244
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: Obviously, DJ, you saw the you know, the Rashi Rice

245
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: injury didn't look good obviously when it happened. You know,

246
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: everyone talking about the ACL is what's been feared, you

247
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: know for him, who is their number one wide receiver,

248
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 3: right And then now we saw a re emergence of

249
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey back in this offense with the you know,

250
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: the eight or the seven catches on the nine targets,

251
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: and you do wonder, like what difference would a Derwin

252
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: James have made in this game on that player in particular.

253
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: But I think what I'm most curious about now.

254
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: Is without Rice, who was the guy in the past

255
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: game so far this year for this offense, what does

256
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: Worthy become?

257
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: Like what did what did you see out there?

258
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: And how they deployed Worthy DJ from watching this thing

259
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: up close and personal, and like, where do you think

260
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: his role expands and can it really expand to account

261
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: for the loss of Rice.

262
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't you know, run the full complement of

263
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: routes coming into this game, and really after that first week,

264
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: he didn't even see him really involve. He's just basically

265
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: been a vertical stretch option for them and they haven't.

266
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that was they threw the stat up during

267
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: the game. I think that was Mahomes's first fifty plus

268
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass since like twenty twenty two, which is

269
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: shocking when you think about how vertical this passing game

270
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: used to be once upon a time. But he's gonna

271
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: have to start running more routes. He's gonna have start

272
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: doing more things. You saw it with a shallow cross,

273
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, late in the game, which was good to see.

274
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: From the chief standpoint. But add Adden, you know, just

275
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: just more ways to get yeah, no, yeah, and no.

276
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: And they're gonna they're gonna give him. They're gonna throw

277
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: the screens, They're gonna get those little quick hitters in

278
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: those now routes and zip those out to them. He'll

279
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: get those, but he's gonna have to develop more and

280
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to get something out of Juju Smith,

281
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Schuster and some of these other guys. It's not gonna

282
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: be enough. You know, Kelsey is going to each up

283
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: if you want to play zone against him, but I

284
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: I you know, you look at how to match up

285
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and you're gonna have to You're gonna

286
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: have to get up there and challenge them. And that's

287
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: where you know, that's where Worthy has to win. He

288
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: has to win when you get those those opportunities.

289
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

290
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: The thing that Andy Ree can always lean on is

291
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 5: he can go back to that old Philadelphia Eagles playbook

292
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 5: and figure out a way to uh use the same.

293
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: Plays that he used for Deshaun DeShawn Jackson.

294
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 5: He can use those plays for Xavier Worthy and you

295
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 5: will see more of the shallow crosses show up because

296
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 5: Xavier Worthy is really good at that. You will see

297
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: the occasional vertical shots and the screens and things. Uh,

298
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 5: He'll have plenty of opportunities to have his impact on

299
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 5: the game.

300
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: But you're right, it's the other guy who has to

301
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: show show up?

302
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 5: Is it? Juju Smith Schuster h being a guy that

303
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 5: kind of morphs into their second dependable wide receiver outside

304
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: of Travis Kelsey because Kelsey now goes to the top

305
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 5: of the list.

306
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 2: When it comes to the targets.

307
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 5: Uh, can Juju you give them that chain mover presence

308
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 5: while you have Xavier Worthy continue to expand his game

309
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 5: become more than just kind of like that one trick

310
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 5: pony as the big play specialist.

311
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Noah Gray too.

312
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, you use more tight one of those two

313
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: tight insights because Juju wasn't targeted once in this game.

314
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: No, well, I know one thing, sky Morey can be

315
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: targeted again either, because they gave him one third down

316
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: opportunity on outroute ball went right through his hands. And uh,

317
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how much it like he's going to

318
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: be in the I don't know how much long he's

319
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: going to be in the trust tree. H After that?

320
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, let's.

321
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: Let's keep it moving here. Let's get to the Minnesota game. Minnesota,

322
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: green Bay, Jordan Love back in the mix twenty yards,

323
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: had some turnovers. Overall, I think on the Green Bay

324
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: side of things, you feel encouraged that he's healthy enough

325
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: to do everything you need to do going forward. But

326
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota got out to a nice lead and was able

327
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: to hold on. As you see on the screen here,

328
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold multiple TD passes four straight games. Justin Jefferson

329
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: was outstanding. Aaron Jones still showed he has more in

330
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: the tank going through and and and watching this team,

331
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: they're they're very well coached. They are a very well

332
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: coached team. And I don't know that you can say

333
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: that in a lot of these games when you're when

334
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: you're going through and you're you're you're scratching your head

335
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: and asking questions on both sides of the ball. In

336
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: terms of offensive play caller defensive play caller, I don't

337
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: know red I'd put them in the in the top

338
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: throt in the league when you when you combine when

339
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: you combine that those two guys with Flores defensively and

340
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: what koc is doing offensively, I think.

341
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: That's a great point.

342
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we've talked on on on this show quite

343
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: a bit about what Brian Flores does on the defensive

344
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: side of the ball, but I want to talk about what,

345
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: you know, a re emergence of a big time explosive

346
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: player does for Kevin O'Connell calling the plays and game

347
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: planning this offense. Jordan Addison returns after the Week one

348
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: injury and looks as explosive as we have ever seen him.

349
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: He had the two touchdowns in this game, one of

350
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: the ground, one through the air, and you know, four catches,

351
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: four targets, seventy eight yards. I mean when you pair

352
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: that with Justin Jefferson, and then you know Jalen Naylor

353
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: has played really well, you know, in in uh.

354
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: In Adison's absence.

355
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: But the thing that I thought, you know, watching this

356
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: is you look at how defenses want to play a

357
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson offense. Right, They're gonna, if they're in a

358
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: if it's not a too high look, they're gonna shade

359
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: that single safety to the Justin Jefferson side. And I

360
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: think now defenses are gonna be like, we we can't

361
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: do that. Because Addison won on a stutter go uh

362
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: that I mean that went for a score through the

363
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: I mean that was there was no contest like him

364
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: one on one on that side with with nobody over

365
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: the top.

366
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta play.

367
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: I think they're gona see a ton of two high

368
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: looks now, but you're gonna you're gonna play this this

369
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: offense straight up with Addison in there, like you cannot

370
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: overplay to Jefferson because Addison will crush you. And then

371
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: they can get him the ball in so many ways

372
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: that little uh, that little end round that they had

373
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: him on, the moves that he made with the ball

374
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: in his hands to get into the end zone. There,

375
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: his stop start, quickness, fluidity at the top of the

376
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: routes in and out of breaks.

377
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: It's just, uh, it's so much fun to watch.

378
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: And I mean, I'd love to be Kevin O'Connell Callen

379
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: plays right now.

380
00:15:59,160 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: You know.

381
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 5: It's funny, DJ, because you talked about any two play

382
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: callers that are better than this duo that we have

383
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: up in Minnesota. And I go back to that visit

384
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: that we had last summer, Red and I were up

385
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: there and Brian Floydes is just teaching the defense and

386
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: they're working on pre snap, the skies and post snap

387
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: movement and how everything is coordinated. And I remember last

388
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: year it was smoking mirrors because he didn't have the

389
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: personnel that would give him an opportunity to really dominate.

390
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: So he did a lot of with schematics and creativity

391
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 5: and tricks and those things. Fast forward a year later,

392
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 5: he now has better personnel and he's doing the same thing.

393
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: And they just have what I call a high IQ.

394
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 5: Defense because they can throw so many different things at you,

395
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 5: and because they're really smart in the back end, they

396
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 5: can execute it. This combination of offense and defense is

397
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 5: one of the best combinations in football. And I know

398
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 5: we didn't talk about the Minnesota Vikings being contenders coming

399
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: into the year, but to me, the way that they

400
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: have just kind of rolled through these first four games,

401
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: they're absolutely in that conversation as one of the best,

402
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 5: if not the best team in football.

403
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: It's also a point I was talking with Romo before

404
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: the game yesterday and I was talking about the advantage

405
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have with having Spags who's not getting head

406
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: coaching looks, so you have that continuity with Andy Reid. Offensively,

407
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: you just keep building and building and building, and then

408
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: when you have defensively you get into the graduate level courses.

409
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's gonna happen with Floraes if

410
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get another opportunity. Obviously, it did not go

411
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: well at all and his first stint as a head coach,

412
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: and I hope for his sake, if that's what he wants,

413
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: he'll get another opportunity. But I could envision this being

414
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: a situation where these guys are there together for quite

415
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: some time and they can have some stability and really

416
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: build something special there with Minnesota. One positive note before

417
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: we move on on Green Bay. Jayden Reid seven for

418
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: a buck thirty nine. When I went and watched his

419
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: targets in this game, he can play inside, he can

420
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: play outside. He works in the middle of the field,

421
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: he works back to the ball. He's an outstanding hands catcher,

422
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: like he plucks everything, attacks the ball in the air.

423
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: He's instinctive when the play breaks down. He is a really,

424
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: really good player. So for everyone wondering kind of who

425
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: that go to guy is for Green Bay, all those

426
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: different receivers that they have, I think he might be

427
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: the toughest cover of any of those guys, and if

428
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: I was Jordan Love, I needed a completion. That's where

429
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm going. I just feel very confident and comfortable with him.

430
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: I think he's a really, really good football player. All right,

431
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: let's keep it, keep the train rolling here. Pittsburgh, Indy.

432
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh entered this game undefeated. Actually, Buck was a you know,

433
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: a good stat game for justin fields. It's some nice

434
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: things offensively. Pittsburgh came back and got back into this

435
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: ball game. But you have the injury to Anthony Richardson,

436
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco just fills right in. I mean, that's

437
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: a nice luxury to have to be able to throw

438
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: him in there.

439
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nice luxury to have.

440
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 5: But if I'm Chris badd, I'm beginning to get a

441
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 5: little worried and concerned about Anthony Richardson. Having to lead

442
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: the game so often has been a part of his

443
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 5: injury history. Like he gets banged up, he gets beat up.

444
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 5: That's been a part of his deal since he left

445
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: high school. But man, our franchise guy, he's never available,

446
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 5: and we went get insurance.

447
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: We got Joe Flacco.

448
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 5: But when you think about what they have done in

449
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 5: terms of putting this offense together and how they build it.

450
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: They build it with Anthony Bridgson in mind. He's not

451
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: available to play at some point.

452
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 5: Man, it becomes frustrating if you're Shane Stycking trying to

453
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 5: figure out how to build an offense around the player

454
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 5: that is never available to play. Yeah.

455
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: I was watching this one on Game Day Live, and

456
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: obviously we we played this one heavy when it went

457
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: when it went in, and you know, you saw the

458
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: hit happen initially and you're like, oh man, it just

459
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: doesn't look comfortable, you know, trying to get down right

460
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: and take care of himself. And and it was Mika

461
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick that came in and kind of lit him up

462
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: the first time. And then he comes back in and

463
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: you can kind of see he's trying to he's trying

464
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: to look run. It just didn't look and then he's

465
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: still trying to like kind of get down and takes

466
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: another big shot. I'm just glad he didn't end up

467
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: with a you know, a head injury as well. On

468
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: how that ended up going down when he met Fitzpatrick

469
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick for the second time. The good news for the

470
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: Colts is they you know, as you said, Flacco is

471
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 3: a great luxury to have as a backup quarterback. I mean,

472
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: that was a great signing by Ballard to go ahead

473
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: and get him. But Josh Downs is back in a

474
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: big way for this team, and you know, missed the

475
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: first couple of weeks coming back from the high ankle

476
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: he suffered early in training camp. I remember seeing him,

477
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: you know, in this in training camp, and I was like,

478
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: holy smoked, Josh Downs is explosive, you know, and we

479
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: saw glimpses of that certainly early in his career and

480
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: then now coming in here. I mean, he's something that

481
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: the Colts didn't really have. I mean, you look at

482
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 3: the weapons on this team and even throwing Jonathan Taylor

483
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: into it. We talked about building the basketball team like

484
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 3: he is that that guard. He is that guy that

485
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 3: can get shifty in the slot. The way that he

486
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: works on some of these option routes. It's like, I

487
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: do I do not envy being on defense and having

488
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: to cover Josh Downs one on one. And the Steelers,

489
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: you know, found that out pretty quickly with him in

490
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: the slot there, even when he catches it short of

491
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: the sticks, which he did.

492
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 4: On a little out route late in the game.

493
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: I mean the move that he made with the ball

494
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: in his hands to ditch the first tackler and then

495
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: get the first down on a third and nine. I mean,

496
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: he had the guy that forced him out of bounce

497
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: going like this, like what I mean, what do we do?

498
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 4: What do we do? He was just winning on every route.

499
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: And you know, like you think about all the guys

500
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: that they have Pierce and Ady Mitchell and Michael Pittman

501
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: and all those big, towering tight ends, He's the guy

502
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: that's different, that just feels different from the body type

503
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: and that kind of slithery, explosive in and out of

504
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: breaks perspective from the slot. It's that I think that

505
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: gives the Colts a real weapon, certainly with Flacco back

506
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: there too, that can you know, really kind of understand

507
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 3: where and how Josh Downs wants to operate.

508
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: Just for a reminder, Joe Flacco was picked one spot

509
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: after Gaster cherlests in one spot before Jeff Otah in

510
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: that draft. It's been a minute Joe Flacco has been around.

511
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: That was the Jake Long Chris Long Draft in two

512
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Joe Flacco has been playing football for

513
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: a long time. As the point that I'm that I'm

514
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: getting at. Probably haven't thought of Jeff Otah in a minute, buck,

515
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Have you given any decade uh.

516
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: Days days older than Anthony Richardson's mom or eight days

517
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: younger one of the two.

518
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 4: They're like close in age. So it's like, yeah, that

519
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: tells you.

520
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's hey, hats off to Joe FLACKA way to go, buddy.

521
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: And man, I'll tell you what. It was a crusta

522
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: victory for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Philadelphia Eagles.

523
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: We can we can start good or bad. Ratt. I'll

524
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: let you uh, I'll let you kick us off here.

525
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: You can go good Tampa, or you can go pretty

526
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: bad there on the foul on the Philly side are

527
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: gonna go? Now, you chose violence today, Go ahead.

528
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: It does go hand in hand, though, I think, and look,

529
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: I think offensively, we all understand that the Eagles were

530
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 3: short handed, right, no Aj Brown, no DeVante Smith, and

531
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: that obviously showed up.

532
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 4: But I thought this was just as much.

533
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: About the defensive performance as it was about the troubles

534
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: on offense for Jalen Hurtson company. I think it says

535
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: something when on a first drive of the game, a

536
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: drive where many offensive coordinators in play callers are scripting

537
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: those first ten to fifteen plays, those openers, and they said,

538
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: you know what, we got a ten play drive. We're

539
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: gonna throw and take it to the air. On nine

540
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: of those plays, okay, nine out of ten they went

541
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: to the air against this Eagles defense right testing whether

542
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: they could actually get after Baker Mayfield and defend Mike Evans,

543
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 3: Chris Godwin, Trey Palmer and company on the outside. And

544
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: the answer was no, they could not. Baker Mayfield with

545
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: a lead, threw the ball thirty three times in the

546
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: first half, thirty three and you know, like he was

547
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: on right. He was on fire in this game. He

548
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: made some terrific throw some tight windows.

549
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: Shot.

550
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: That one right there to Palmer was incredible, and Slay

551
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 3: actually had pretty good coverage.

552
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: There, not much he could do. It was just too good.

553
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 4: But I just think this defense is not good enough yet.

554
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: In the pass game of surprise, they couldn't get after

555
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: the passer as much, and they played more snaps of

556
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 3: cover one right some man c single high safety than

557
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: anybody in the league this year or this week, and

558
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 3: it just it wasn't working against this Buccaneers offense, and

559
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: I thought Liam Cohen had a great plan, recognized where

560
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 3: they thought they could get and find some success.

561
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: And obviously Bucky they did there.

562
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah they did.

563
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 5: And you know it's funny because there was a conversation

564
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 5: about Baker Mayfield coming into building and you know, a

565
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 5: little more relaxed vibe than a high, strong vibe that

566
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 5: existed under Tom Brady.

567
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: So Tom Brady took a little shot, had a little

568
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: fun with it. But I would say this.

569
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 5: I will say that Baker Mayfield is a perfect fit

570
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 5: for who the Tampa Bay Buccaneers needed at quarterback right now.

571
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 5: And that vibe that he has, that connection that he

572
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: has with his teammates. When you've been to Tampa and

573
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: you talk to the players, they love him, they revere him,

574
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 5: but they also have taken on some of the good

575
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 5: parts of his personality. The Baker Mayfield they watched at

576
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 5: Oklahoma that was super competitive, super confident, almost borderline cocky.

577
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 2: They have a little bit of that belief.

578
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: And with the offense feeling like that and Todd Bulls

579
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 5: just ringing heat from everywhere, consistently crafting these defensive masterpieces,

580
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 5: the Buccaneers are legit and we hadn't talked about him

581
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 5: a lot, even though they had won a division a

582
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 5: year ago. But the Buccant is legit. They have tough

583
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 5: out and they gonna be a problem for a lot

584
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 5: of teams in the NFC.

585
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: I'll give Jason light a lot of credit, man, because

586
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: you go from kind of the Jameis Winston who has

587
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: some initial success and then it you know, it doesn't

588
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: end up working out there, and so he does the

589
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: all hands on deck, rely on your previous relationships, and

590
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: he recruits Tom Brady when everybody wanted Tom Brady and

591
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: he gets a super Bowl out of it, and then

592
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, well now tom Brady's gone. You know

593
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: what's the next move? And is this going to be

594
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: a team that, because they've been in the playoffs, is

595
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: not going to get a chance to pick high to

596
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: get a quarterback. That's challenging, man. When you don't have

597
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity to draft one high and you lose a

598
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, greatest of all time quarterback, how do

599
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: you go about replacing him? And I don't know if

600
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: anybody could make a case they could have found it

601
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: better replacement than Baker Mayfield. You know, Buck, I saw

602
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: Brady's comments the other day. I found that interesting from

603
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: the game.

604
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: But it's true.

605
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Baker Mayfield I think was the right quarterback

606
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: at the right time for this franchise. And this is

607
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: a team that's been in the playoffs four straight years

608
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: and very much looks like a playoff team going on

609
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: five years in a row here. So hats off to

610
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: Jason Lytton's job. He's done, and I'll give him a credit.

611
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Another pick to a guy that we really liked. Bucky

612
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: Irving's fun to watch man. He is so quick in

613
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: and out. His change of direction is excellent. He's got

614
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: great vision. Another one of those examples of God Lee,

615
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: I just stick with your initial grade. When I first

616
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: did my first you know, ranking and stacking the running backs,

617
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: he was way up there as one of the top

618
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: backs in this draft. And he's not the biggest guy

619
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: in the world, but Buck was. I get so mad

620
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: at myself, Dude, Just have some guts, have some courage,

621
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: and stick with what you saw on the tape because

622
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: I love what I saw from him in college.

623
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's another one, real quick go ahead, Yeah,

624
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: another one real quick on the draft picks, yeah ya, dab.

625
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: I mean you want to talk a big physical ame.

626
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: Six pressures in this in this game to lead all

627
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: all rushers for either team.

628
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: He's been a stud on that defense.

629
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: They've made they've hit on some the some defenders now

630
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: in the last couple of drafts and uh and that's

631
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: a big reason why they're so good on that side

632
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: of the wall.

633
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: What do you think, Buck? I want to get one

634
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: last thought from you, then we'll move on. Keep the

635
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: train moving here. But has there ever been a transaction

636
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: of players even though it wasn't a direct transaction? But

637
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: you have Hassan Reddick who who ends up going to

638
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: the Jets who you know that that trade habens. He

639
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: doesn't show up, they can't get a deal done. He's

640
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: obviously giving you nothing. Bryce huff signs as a free

641
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: agent with the Eagles, has done nothing like two guys

642
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: who had so much success in the previous spot and

643
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: have found you got nothing either one of them.

644
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: No little buyer's are more on both parties.

645
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 5: And look, man, it's a great lesson to be learned

646
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: in free agency. A lot of times we think that oh,

647
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: not only as players the grass is greener, but on

648
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 5: the other side, you think you can pluck somebody off

649
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: another roster and put him in your environment and he's

650
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 5: going to be the same player, and it doesn't work

651
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 5: like that. That's why you hear so many general managers

652
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 5: always talk about draft and develop and resign your own,

653
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 5: because at least you rear them in your process, in

654
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 5: your culture, and you know exactly who they are. You

655
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 5: understand the warts and the flaws and how to work

656
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 5: around them. When you take somebody else's, I would say problems,

657
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: you don't know if you necessarily can fit it fix it,

658
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 5: and you also don't know how they going to fit

659
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 5: into your locker room or your scheme. Far more subjective

660
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 5: when you do the free agent route as opposed to drafting, development,

661
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 5: and then resigning them.

662
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question, that's a great lesson. Indeed, let's get

663
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: to the next game here in New Orleans Atlanta. I want

664
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: to get to the Atlanta side of things here, and

665
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: I want to hit on one specific player. I'm pulling

666
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: up my notes on him. Troy Anderson, linebacker for the

667
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Falcons in this game a nice win for the Falcons,

668
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: has seventeen tackles. He's literally all over the field. You

669
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: see him run down, Alvin Kamara repeatedly range to the

670
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: sideline closing speed. So I'm like, let me go back

671
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: and find my notes on him. So it's coming out

672
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: of Montana State. He was six three and a half

673
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty three pounds. He ran four to

674
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: four to two. He was originally a quarterback, then a

675
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: running back, then an outside linebacker before becoming an inside

676
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: linebacker there at Montana State. Pulverizes blockers speed of the

677
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: alley big time AA so agility and change the direction

678
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: to cover lots of PBUs. He gets a little bit

679
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: high and we'll get washed at times down inside, but

680
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: he's he's somebody with tremendous athletic ability and instincts. Former quarterback.

681
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: What man, that was a heck of a game for him.

682
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean that you talk about buck. We always look

683
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: for guys that can run, cover and hit in blitz

684
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: as linebackers. I mean, that's the that's what you're looking

685
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: for at the linebacker position. That's how you deal with

686
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: guys like Alvin Kamara.

687
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

688
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: Man, You just talk about what this team has done

689
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 5: is funny because the Atlanta Falcons are look, I mean

690
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: some some red zone flow away from being three and one.

691
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 5: I mean, they're a team that has kind of put

692
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: themselves in a really, really good position. And when we

693
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 5: think about this defense where Raheem Morris and Jimmy Lake,

694
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 5: how they've been able to kind of do it, and

695
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 5: how they've been able to do it while also folding

696
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 5: in some hot IQ veterans. You think about Jesse Bates,

697
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: you think about Justin Simmons, Matthew Judon coming over.

698
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: They're on their way.

699
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 5: And the good thing if I am Atlanta Falcons fan,

700
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 5: they've been able to do it with their offense not

701
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 5: clicking on all cylna's yet, you would think that Kirk

702
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 5: Cousins is going to get healthy. He's going to find

703
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 5: his way to get you know, with cale Pits and others,

704
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 5: and when that part of the ball takes off, if

705
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 5: the defense can maintain his course. The NFC is very

706
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: competitive with a lot of unheroded teams, but the Elant

707
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 5: of five is another team in that conversation.

708
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: Nice, when was the last time you saw a team

709
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: win a football game without running a single play in

710
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: the red Zonelkens did not run to play, They did

711
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: not run a play in the red zone.

712
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: They had a special.

713
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: Teams touchdown on a muff punt that kind of started

714
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: things off. Well, they had the defensive touchdowns youre talking

715
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 3: about with Andrew.

716
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 4: I mean like I kept looking at that. I was like,

717
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 4: I got something's wrong here.

718
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: Let me go.

719
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: I was watching, we were watching this game following along

720
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: on game day wide.

721
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 4: I just I couldn't believe it.

722
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 3: But this was This is about how the one hundred

723
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 3: and eleventh meeting between two bitter division rivals was.

724
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: Going to go, and it was going to be tight

725
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 4: down to the end.

726
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: And now the Falcons own a fifty six to fifty

727
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: five series advantage over the New Orleans Saints. But I

728
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: do want to give some positives for the Saints here.

729
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 3: Alante Taylor has become one of the one of the

730
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: better and more physical nickel players in the league. He

731
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: remember those three sacks he had in the first week

732
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: against the Carolina Panthers, where you're like, all right, you

733
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: let the nickel guy get you three times, and you're

734
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: not not seeing it right, You're not accounting for it.

735
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 4: Might just be he's also really dang good.

736
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: Because I watched him in coverage a couple of times

737
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: against Drake London in this game, held up really well

738
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: and then like he's just he stays alive in the

739
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: play for so long. I mean London has a surefire catch.

740
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 3: I mean at borderline it was a catch fumble. He

741
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: comes in there and swipes and rakes at that football,

742
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: knocks it out a couple of different times. He was

743
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: about an inch away on his vertical from having another

744
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: terrific PBu. He's just, he's been really good for them

745
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: and he's a guy that they can build with.

746
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: Over there.

747
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: Paulson Deebo played pretty well too, So they got a

748
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: couple of good young corners out there.

749
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 4: Not to mention, you know, Marshall Latimore.

750
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: I just pulled up my notes on Alante Taylor, who

751
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: alerted me that he was going to hit on him.

752
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: So just over six foot, one hundred and nine nine pounds,

753
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: four to three six what he ran. He had the

754
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: fastest GPS at the Senior Bowl. Two interceptions that last year.

755
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: He's a little tight in the change of direction stuff,

756
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: but really instinctive in zone. He was very aggressive and

757
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: tough to fill against the run. Had someations versus double

758
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: moves in the Old Miss game. That was the only

759
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: that was the only bugaboo there. But at the at

760
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: the foundation and core of a player, you have you

761
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: have tremendous speed, you have tremendous toughness, and that's uh,

762
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: that's something you can work with. And they've found a

763
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: way to feature those attributes in a big way. Buck. Yeah,

764
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: I just.

765
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: Remember when he was coming out.

766
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 5: I just remember him being like the versal guy that

767
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 5: people talked about, right, you couldn't figure out.

768
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: As he's safety nickel like.

769
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 5: And we are now in a league full of specialists

770
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 5: and in the secondary, I just see the evolution where

771
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 5: we used to talk about the little guy being the nickel,

772
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: then it became a we got big nickels whatever. And

773
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 5: now the position has been where people that are playing

774
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: the star position in college are basically scouted and evaluated

775
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 5: to play the star position in the pros Alante. Taylor's versatility,

776
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 5: its size, its toughness, his speed was always coveted. But

777
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 5: we are now in an era where they are really

778
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 5: featuring those guys that have those traits and so it's

779
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 5: really good to see.

780
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: I want to do a speed round here on the

781
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: rookie QBS. So I'm gonna give you, I'll give you

782
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: my three thoughts on or a thought on each of

783
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: these guys here, these rooky quarterbacks. Buck followed up, RHTT

784
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: follow up, follow up Bucky here. But I'll start first

785
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: of all, Jayden Daniels. Awesome. Once again, the game is

786
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: slow for him. One of the visual that I had

787
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: for him was, and Buck, We've talked about this before,

788
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: is when you're a kid and you go into the

789
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: gym and you're taught as a basketball player. Hey, as

790
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: a young player, start right underneath the rim. I'm gonna

791
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: see ten go through. I'm gonna back up three steps.

792
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see ten go through. I'm gonna eventually get

793
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: back to the free throw line that I'm gonna eventually

794
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: get back to the three point line. But I think

795
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury does a wonderful job of let him see

796
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: some go through the hoop, get into a rhythm. The

797
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: game slowed down for him, and then the degree of

798
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: difficulty just goes up from there. But he's he is

799
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: so poised and so calm and so accurate. It's elite

800
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: stuff what you're seeing there from Jayden Daniels. Let's get

801
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: the Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams again strides you're seeing strides

802
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: every week. They gave him some screens. They gave him

803
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: some easy completions in this game, which was good to see.

804
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: There are some balls he missed down the field, one

805
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: of which I didn't think DJ Moore was really busting it,

806
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: So I give him a little bit of defense there.

807
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: Still hold the ball at times, but then also was

808
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: able to extend and create. And then you're seeing again

809
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: these handful He's giving you four or five plays every

810
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: week where you go, okay, I can hang my hat

811
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: on this. This is the good stuff and he's giving

812
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: you that. So that's a great sign, and that's normal.

813
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: That's the normal path for a young quarterback. What Jayden

814
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: Daniels is doing right now is kind of like what CJ.

815
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: Stroud was doing last year. That's abnormal to have it

816
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: click this fast. I do think they should use Caleb

817
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: Williams on more design runs. You only have three carries

818
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: and two kneel downs in this game. I think they

819
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: can do more of that. And then finally, Bo Nicks,

820
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: the guy found a way to win a game he

821
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: played in the monsoon. Darn Near had to throw the

822
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: ball at two hands at times. They couldn't really do anything.

823
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: But when they needed to, they got him on the move,

824
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: he hit a ball and then the Jets busted a coverage.

825
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else to say there

826
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: other than he hung in there in a monsoon and

827
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: Buck found a way to win a game with sixty yards.

828
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: So those are my thoughts on the three qbs. I'll

829
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: let you guys give me what you think.

830
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 5: Okay, So let's go with Jaden Daniels. And I don't

831
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 5: want to say like for the second ye in a row,

832
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: but for the second ue in a row. QB two

833
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 5: has been masterful early in their career, and what was

834
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 5: in from Jaden Daniels is franchise changing in terms of

835
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 5: not just what we're seeing on the field, but how

836
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 5: his teammates respond to him. When you hear the words

837
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 5: about he's different, he's special, he's like the savior. He's

838
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 5: this you already know in the locker room. There's a

839
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 5: belief in their franchise quarterback that if you just give

840
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 5: him the ball back, he can find a way to

841
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 5: get it done. And we've talked about experience and how

842
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: experience matters and how the fifty four fifty five stars

843
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 5: that he had at college, the game would slow down,

844
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 5: and we talked about VR and those things before a

845
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 5: young player to be so comfortable at the next level,

846
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 5: you know, where the game is supposed to be harder.

847
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 5: But yeah, this dude is completing eighty percent of his

848
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 5: passes in games and just getting better and better. He's

849
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 5: something else, man, And it just goes to show you

850
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 5: that as a scout, when you started tracking guys at freshmen,

851
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 5: you got to give them grace because they certainly can't improve.

852
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: When you think about what he was as a.

853
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 5: Freshman at Arizona State to how he finished at LSU

854
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 5: to how he's playing now, there's just this arc of

855
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 5: improvement that suggested they don't have to be finished products

856
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: when you first look at them.

857
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: Give them time and in the right system, with the.

858
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 5: Right play call it, they could be as good as

859
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 5: you want them to be if all the pieces of

860
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 5: the polls will fit.

861
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: I think you nailed it on Jayden Daniels. The only

862
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 3: thing I would say is he's bringing out the best

863
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: in his best players like Terry McLaurin is once again

864
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: a part of this offense after virtually disappearing a year ago,

865
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: which is great to see for the commanders and for Bonnicks.

866
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 3: I remember looking up one time and I think he

867
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 3: was seven for fourteen with minus seven passing yards.

868
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know.

869
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how it even happens other than the

870
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: weather and the conditions, and so I don't even know

871
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: how much we can really take out of that game.

872
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: Whether you guys seen the movie Necessary Roughness, Necessary Roughness. Yeah,

873
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: they're playing in them monsoon. That was the game. They

874
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: needed Kathy Ireland out there and kicked the game.

875
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 4: Well, the Jets did. They could have used.

876
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: Kathy Ireland might have had a better shot at that

877
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 1: one that did not go well, no question.

878
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

879
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: And then on Caleb man Lo again, you're right, like

880
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 3: he gives you the glimpses right the throw to DJ

881
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 3: more in the back of the end zone, like that's

882
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 3: you know, that's special stuff there.

883
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 4: I I do feel like he is holding the ball

884
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 4: a little bit.

885
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: They need to get they need to kind of engineer

886
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: a little bit more, uh you know, ways for him

887
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 3: to get rid.

888
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 4: Of it quickly. See it, hit it, let's go, and

889
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 4: let's and let's move on. Last thing.

890
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: I'll just add on the on the commanders who are

891
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 3: playing some really good football right now. I believe all

892
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: alone in the first place of the NFC East at

893
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: three and one. Dan Quinn deserves some serious credit for

894
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: what he's doing There'll so brought over two guys he

895
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 3: knew very well that could help him run his defense,

896
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: and Bobby Wagner at eleven tackles in this game, and

897
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: Dorence Armstrong they were together with at the Cowboys. He

898
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: had a sack and a half in this game. And

899
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 3: so that defense is playing really good too, and they

900
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: definitely took care of business against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.

901
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: Last thought on those three rooky quarterbacks the teams they're

902
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: playing for. I was worried about Adam Peters in Washington

903
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the offensive line they were going to

904
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: have in front of Jaden Daniels. I thought maybe they

905
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: could have traded back in to the first round to

906
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: get one of those tackles. They held their water. They

907
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: picked Brandon Coleman later, and Brandon Coleman is playing better

908
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: out of TCU than some of these guys who were

909
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: picked in the first round. So hat tip to our

910
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: buddy Adam Peters with the job he did not only

911
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: nail on the quarterback, but doing a good job of

912
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: kind of under the radar build an offensive line that's

913
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: better than it looked on paper. So hats off to

914
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: Adam Peters. All right, it's time to get the Bucks

915
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: game here. Say it. As we get towards the back

916
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: end of the show, we wanted to keep things positive

917
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: as we could. I felt slanted a little negative today,

918
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: but you know, nonetheless, let's uh, let's jump into it.

919
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: I give you the opportunity. You could have gone positive negative,

920
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: you a negative earlier. That's all I'm saying. Right, don't

921
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: give me that look before we get to uh, the

922
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: result here and we'll discuss a big win for the

923
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Buck. I want to get your thoughts on it,

924
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: but I want to hear from the head coach of

925
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: the Jags before we get to you that. I'll let

926
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: you pick it up from there. But this is the

927
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: postgame with Doug Peterson after the Jags lost twenty four

928
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: to twenty.

929
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 6: For what I thought he'd called a great game. We

930
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 6: as coaches, we can't make the We can't go out

931
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 6: there and make the plays.

932
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 5: Right.

933
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 6: It's a two way street. So you know, you guys

934
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 6: can sit here and point the finger all you want,

935
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 6: and that's fine. Point it right at me. I can

936
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 6: take it. Okay, I can take it. So whatever you

937
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 6: want to ask me, say whatever, right, go ahead.

938
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: Uh, here's what I say.

939
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 5: It's no only not good when you begin to wage

940
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: wars with the media, the local media. That there has

941
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 5: been this conversation, which I do believe in Jacksonville is

942
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 5: a little premature. It's a little crazy to talk about

943
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 5: Doug Peterson being on the hot seat after four games.

944
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 5: The franchise hasn't had back to back winning season since

945
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 5: two thousand and four two thousand and five. He's had

946
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 5: back to back winning seasons in his first two years

947
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 5: on the job.

948
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 2: Yes, they are one to nine in their last ten games.

949
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 5: Yes, the collapse of last season and the slow start

950
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 5: this season does make you uneasy when you think about that.

951
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 5: But I think you want to have a broader perspective

952
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 5: before you start making those kinds of decisions. That said,

953
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 5: I think it's really important that when the team is struggling,

954
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 5: the coach has to be uber positive when it comes

955
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 5: to his interactions with the team, how he protects the

956
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 5: team with the media and those things, and even though

957
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 5: we all can say that it's a player's game, it's

958
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 5: a players league, and that you know.

959
00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 2: Players have to make play.

960
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 5: You run the risk of losing your team if you

961
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 5: come to throw them under the bus in that regard

962
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 5: and they don't understand the context behind it. And so hopefully,

963
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 5: for Doug's sake, he can clean and clear some of

964
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 5: that up in team meetings, because the last thing you

965
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,479
Speaker 5: want is everyone pointing fingers and the players being done

966
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 5: with the coach, because once they're done with the coach,

967
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 5: there's no getting that back, and then you have to

968
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 5: make moves to help rectify the situation.

969
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: Even though I don't believe it's.

970
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 5: Completely lost, I think it's tenuous, just because of the

971
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 5: way he may have handled himself in this postgame pressing.

972
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna choose to go positive, and.

973
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: Is that regular Tony Robbins over here.

974
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: I tell you this is not that's not your I

975
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 3: don't buy into the negative. I don't buy into the negativity. Okay,

976
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 3: our friends at duvall are going.

977
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 4: To figure this thing out.

978
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: It's just it's just it's troubling when you got to

979
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 3: deal with the tech, you know, and you're on the

980
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 3: verge of going zero and four because I thought C J.

981
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 4: Stroud and in Houston, while.

982
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 3: We weren't at their best, you know, on this day,

983
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 3: and the Jags played, you know, I think better than

984
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: we've seen them play.

985
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: But C. J.

986
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: Stroud continues to give you what you need in the

987
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 3: biggest moments and a nine play sixty four yard touchdown drive,

988
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 3: you know, playing without Tank Dell, I think makes the

989
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 3: acquisition to Stefan Diggs. You know, that that much bigger

990
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: rancause they've got depth now at that wide receiver spot.

991
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 3: And so you know, dari A Goomba walle catches the

992
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 3: game winner.

993
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: There we go.

994
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 3: You know, I mean it must work. You got dev

995
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: you got ways to figure it out, you know. And

996
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: I think they'll get Joe Mixon back here pretty soon,

997
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 3: start getting that ground game rolling a little bit more.

998
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 3: But Texan's got it done when they needed to and

999
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: sitting there at the top of the division three to one.

1000
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you two positives on the Texan side. Nico Collins,

1001
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: he will work in traffic. He has he plays with

1002
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: no fear. There's something that's nice as a quarterback when

1003
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: you have a receiver who can work in the middle

1004
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: of the field and win and not least win, but

1005
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: just just oh yeah. But he just plays with no fear.

1006
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: He'll go, he'll run through contact zones. He doesn't gear down,

1007
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't corral the ball with his body embrace like

1008
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: he runs through the ball. He's just a really, really

1009
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: good football player. So that was the positive on the

1010
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: Houston side of things. And then I'll give you the

1011
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: one positive on the Jag side of things.

1012
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: Buck.

1013
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: I watched Brian Thomas Junior all his routes. Dude, he's

1014
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: legit like that. That is he is real. Like when

1015
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: you watch him, he is sudden, he's explosive, he can

1016
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: get in and out of breaks. He's not just a

1017
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: vertical receiver. He is he looks like he can be

1018
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: a young one, like he's got that type of ability.

1019
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: But that's the positive. Negative thing is Trevor's missing too

1020
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: many throws. Like you can look at it and say, like, oh,

1021
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: anticipation or is he seeing things. I'm like, man, he

1022
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: just missing like he just missing throws. That's got a change, Yeah,

1023
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: it's got to change.

1024
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 5: And here's the thing that I was unfortunate for the

1025
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 5: Jags because it took away from what I thought was

1026
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 5: a really good game plan to help with a team

1027
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 5: that was struggling get back on track. There were things

1028
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 5: that the j Wars did that were designed to help

1029
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 5: this team get up and going. Number one thing they

1030
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 5: did is they played the hits. Whenever you have a

1031
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 5: young quarterback struggling, you try to give them things that

1032
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 5: he's very comfortable with that he executes really well and

1033
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 5: have success. For Trevor Lawrence, that's screens, quick game, occasional

1034
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 5: shots he's really good on that got off to a

1035
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 5: fast start. The other thing that you do is feed

1036
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 5: the pigs. So when you're struggling, you're trying and get

1037
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 5: the ball to your best players. When you go back

1038
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 5: and you look at the hitch sheet, Christian Kirk had

1039
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 5: twelve targets, Brian Thomas Junior had nine targets.

1040
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: Everybody else had three or fewer.

1041
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 5: And so in a game when you're trying to win

1042
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 5: and you're trying to go all in, don't mess around.

1043
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 5: Get it to your best players. And I say that

1044
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 5: to back up your point about Brian Thomas Junior. I

1045
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 5: don't even think people know how good this young guy

1046
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 5: is man his route running.

1047
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 2: Ability, his playmaking, ability.

1048
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 5: If you have a chance to watch the reverse that

1049
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 5: he ran, it's not only how smooth and fluid he is,

1050
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 5: it's just the innate instincts and reactions that he has

1051
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 5: with the ball in his hands. He is a number

1052
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 5: one all day, every day. And as excited as people

1053
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 5: should be about Mylak neighbors man, Brian Thomas, you won.

1054
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 5: I can't imagine guarding l s U when they had

1055
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 5: both of those guys on the field. I don't know

1056
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 5: why we didn't win more games like it is banana

1057
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 5: is the thing that you by the way, By the way,

1058
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 5: the quarterback, the quarterback.

1059
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: The quarterback wasn't bad either.

1060
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I don't know. It just seems like.

1061
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: That he did they not win Antal championship. That defense

1062
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: was all time terrible. How bad is your defense? You

1063
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: couldn't win with Jade Daniels and Leak Neighbors and Brian

1064
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior. Really, Oh my gosh, that's that should be

1065
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway from the weekend. All right, let's get

1066
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: to a quick a quick nugget from each of you here.

1067
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: We've got a fun one to me the best game

1068
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: coming up tonight. We've got too with Seahawks Lions. Rhett,

1069
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: your lions here, What are you looking for out of them?

1070
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1071
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 3: I think just you want you want to be physical

1072
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 3: here a game in which you know Mike McDonald's defense

1073
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: has been rolling, right, So I think you want to

1074
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 3: find a way to get JAMR Gibbs the football. If

1075
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 3: we want to find a way to you know, run

1076
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 3: it a little bit here and and you know, you're

1077
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 3: you got the benefit of being at home and use

1078
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: that crowd, get after the passer.

1079
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 4: A little bit.

1080
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

1081
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 3: You know if you're you're on defense trying to deal

1082
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 3: with Geno Smith.

1083
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 4: So I just I feel like physicality and and grit.

1084
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 3: Let this be one of those Dan Campbell h kind

1085
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 3: of mindset type games here against the Seahawks.

1086
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

1087
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 5: I want to focus on the Seahawks and Mike McDonald

1088
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 5: and how he's taking a tough love approach to a

1089
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 5: team that was really player friendly on the Pete Carroll

1090
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 5: and I would say the old school discipline that he

1091
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 5: is imposed when you hear the players talk about we

1092
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 5: needed a little more of that to give us the

1093
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 5: edge for us to go to the next level.

1094
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

1095
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 5: To me, I think it's interesting, it's fascinating when you

1096
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 5: have a young guy that kinds a clear understanding of

1097
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 5: his coaching style, how he wants to implement it, how

1098
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 5: he wants to kind of really impose the discipline so

1099
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 5: the team and have the freedom to really max out

1100
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 5: their talent.

1101
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: It's obviously working when you look.

1102
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 5: At the way the defense has responded, when you look

1103
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 5: at the way Grub has taken this offense to another level,

1104
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 5: and how they still can go to even higher heights

1105
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 5: with Gino Smith pushing the ball down the field. Really

1106
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 5: good team. This is gonna be a fun one to watch.

1107
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 5: Is two playoff teams squaring off. I'm excited to see

1108
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 5: it tonight. Yeah, I think it's a playoff preview.

1109
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I think these are two of the best young secondaries

1110
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL too, A lot of young talent and

1111
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: the secondaries. I'm looking forward to watching those matchups on

1112
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: the perimeter in that ball game. We have one more

1113
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: game here, Tennessee, Miami Buck. Give me a reason, Just

1114
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: give me a reason to watch this thing. What am

1115
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: I looking for here? I'm trying to get excited about it.

1116
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm struggling. I'm struggling to get excited about this game.

1117
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest.

1118
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 5: Okay, so we're gonna dig down to the draft, Nick

1119
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 5: and us. We want to see if will Levis can

1120
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 5: bounce back. We want to see if he can clean

1121
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 5: up his game and make us feel like the Tennessee

1122
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 5: Titans don't need to go back and next year's draft

1123
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 5: and get a quarterback. I want to see if will

1124
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 5: Levis can take care of the ball, if he can

1125
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 5: tap into not only the talent that he flashes, but

1126
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 5: can't he refine his game a little bit.

1127
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: So we can get it out that that's not you're

1128
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 1: not making it. You're not making me regular enough game.

1129
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 3: Oh it's not, mao quarterback be dreamy, nao quarterbacks decisions

1130
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,640

1131
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: Okay, that's it, you guys suck.

1132
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: That was not HN needs one hundred points for me

Speaker 3: to win my fantasy game. So I'll be watching that one.
