1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move to six, d J

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Bucky back together as we head towards another playoff weekend, Buck,

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend some time today and we're gonna dig

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: in on these playoff games. Give you a good preview, Um,

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: But before we get to those, first of all, A,

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: how are you doing? And b are you surprised that

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: we now have ten offensive coordinator openings. Thirty two teams

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: ten openings? Buck, that's where we are. I mean, I

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: mean it's crazy, right, It's crazy what's going on? And

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: before I'm doing great, I'm doing great, Like it's crazy

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: because Black Monday, I guess, was supposed to be like

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. But now we're getting all

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: of this stuff and I think it's crazy, Um, the

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: amount of turnover that we're seeing at the offensive coordinator position,

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: because the offensive coordinator spot is the launching point for

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: hey coaching jobs in the National Football League, and so

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: what I'm wondering now is because that's the desired place,

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: that's where we're getting our future Hey coaches, what does

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: it really mean about the hiring cycle down the line

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: where we're gonna have so many either retreads or new

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: guys in these spots that are very critical to not

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: only quarterback development, but critical to maybe being the birthplace

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: of where the next Hay coach comes from. And we

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: mentioned that there's ten openings, the latest of which is

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Greg Roman and the Ravens. Uh, they've split. He's not

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: gonna be back next year. Greg's been there for a

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: while and really given a lot of credit for Lamar

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Jackson's early success and being able to get him on

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the field and create and design an offense around his

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: skill set. Now, obviously Lamar that's been the big story

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: him not being able uh to get out on the

33
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: field with that, with that injury and this offense that's

34
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: kind of sputtered in rightfully. So, I think take the

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterback off off most teams, you're gonna see issues.

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: But Uh, I think there's there's always been a little

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: push pull with the Ravens and offense. Buck It's always

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: been a defensive organization. Lamar came in and changed that

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: for a little bit when an end VP season and

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: and a high scoring offense, but it's always a team

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: in a town that, man, why can't we pass it

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: more effectively? Why can't we be like all these other

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: teams we see that are high flying and big plays

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: and chunk plays and scoring points and big numbers. And

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: then the identity of the team when they've been really

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: good is they run the football really well. They're physical

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: with the line of scrimmage, they played great defense, like

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: that's how they've won a couple of Super Bowls. That's

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: been there, winning formula. But there seems like there's always

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a push pole where you want

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: one thing even though the other thing might be better

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: for you. You know, it's funny because I do believe

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: that Baltimore Ravens have an identity crisis. And I don't

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's from inside out or outside in,

55
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: but I do believe what you just um describe is

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: exactly what I feel with the Baltimore Ravens. Rather than

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: leaning into the fact that, hey, man, we're defensive oriented team,

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: We're a team that runs the football. This is who

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: we are. We win games when we run the football,

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and yeah we need to improve I pass attack, but

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: what we are is run, stop to run, play great defense,

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: win a bunch of nail. Bidis excelled on special teams,

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: and that's it is. I am worried about this team

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: trying to be something that they've never been, meaning an explosive,

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: high powered offense that maybe runs through a quarterback, but

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: running the passing game through the quarterback, where they attempt

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: to be maybe high risk, high reward, and it completely

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: undermines the way that the team has been built that

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: the French has been built for years. Uh doesn't be

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: fascinating to see who the next offensive coordinator is going

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: to be because I think that also would give us

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: a preview on what is going to happen with Lamar Jackson.

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: I think all of these things have to be interrelated,

74
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and so it may get a little sneak peek at

75
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: what the Ravens are about to do for the future

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: going forward. Yeah, you know, look they have some interesting pieces.

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: They have some young lineman. Um. Look, they keep Bateman healthy.

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance to be a really

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: good white out on the outside. Obviously, with Mark Andrews,

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: you got one of the best tight ends in the NFL.

81
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: So they have have some pieces there that would lead

82
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: you to believe they could be better, uh in the

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: passing department. But you've got to get things started out

84
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson. Now you've got to find out who

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: the coordinator is going to be, and I'd be curious

86
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: to see, you know, what type of guy are they

87
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: going to bring in their number one? But with ten openings,

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: if you're a highly qualified candidate, book you're sitting there going, man,

89
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, long term, what does my

90
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: quarterback look like? Plus it's just a little different in

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: terms of how you would design a game plan in

92
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: an offense around Lamar. So it's gonna be tricky. It's

93
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: gonna be a tricky kind of a tightrope there for

94
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: them to walk and trying to find the right candidate

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: who can advance them forward or where they want to go,

96
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: but also kind of be true to who they are

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: and what they're all about in that organization. Yes, bananas,

98
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: it's so crazy because Justin reflected on it because I

99
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: didn't know that it was up to ten offensive coordinator

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: vacancies in the league, And I'm just thinking about all

101
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: the stuff that we talked about, how everyone talks about

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: going to get an offensive mind of coach and do

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. And I'm sitting there saying, don't

104
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: know if they're enough minds, bright minds that can take

105
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: over offense is to fill all these seats. And then

106
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: if you're Baltimore, you have the uncertainty with your quarterback. Um,

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: if you do bring Lamar back, now he has to

108
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: learn a new offense. And if the offense is drastically

109
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: different than the offense he's been running, it's not only

110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Lamar that's affected, but what about the personnel that you

111
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: put in front of him. They have a certain criteria

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: for the offensive line that they've been operating with. Run

113
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: heavy guys, guys that can push people. Are we now

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: going to ask all these guys to kick slide times

115
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: a game? Look? This this is crazy for them. It's

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: just it's just crazy that at this time, with all

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: the unrested uncertainty, that this is decision that they elect

118
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: to make when there's so much chaos going on around

119
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinated position around the league. Yeah, and I'm

120
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: looking at you know, maybe you know we're all anticipating

121
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and go more wide open and get

122
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: a more creative offensive mind, passing game oriented all this

123
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Maybe the Ravens surprised us and they

124
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: end up doubling down and they go higher. You know,

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, one of the top offensive line coaches in

126
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, and say we're gonna make you our offensive courting.

127
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Go get Jeff Stoutland from the Philadelphia Eagles, bring him

128
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: in there, and say, you know what, screw it, We're

129
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: just gonna match people. We are gonna absolutely mash people.

130
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: If Lamar wants to be part of that, great, If not,

131
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll get the next guy in here, and we're gonna

132
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: try and you know, play physical. I mean, if Hotley

133
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't extend the ball out over the goal line

134
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: and instead goes low, they're still there's a chance they're

135
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: still playing right now. Okay, So so here's the thing, DJ, Right,

136
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: so you want to move off for the offense, right,

137
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: you want to move off the offense. I think Lamar

138
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Jackson's record is in nineteen forty six and nineteen is

139
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: a very successful record when you're starting quarterback and there,

140
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: so we're going to move off of that for something

141
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: that is unknown and for someone who might not have

142
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: a relationship with him. Look, I get it, I understand that.

143
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Look offensive football puts butts in seats when it comes

144
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: to the stadium. But I just wonder, and I just

145
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: wonder if you succumb to the outside noise, eventually, will

146
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: you be outside with the noise that you're listening to. Yeah,

147
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: to wrap it up on that topic, I mean, I'll

148
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: be curious to see did they just want a new

149
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: person and not a new philosophy, or do they want

150
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: a brand new philosophy. That's that's gonna be intriguing to

151
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: see what the Ravens do again. They've got their press

152
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: conference coming up later today, just as we're recording this.

153
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: It's about an hour away with Eric da Costa and

154
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh meeting with the media. So by the time

155
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: you listen to that, there might be some more news

156
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: out there. But that's what we have as of right now.

157
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: One more piece of news want to get to before

158
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: we jump in and preview the game. You're gonna be

159
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: at Ran Karthon, Uh, friend of the show, friend of

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: both of ours, one of the really just good dudes

161
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: uh in the NFL. He has left the forty Niners

162
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: to take the general manager's gig with the Tennessee Titans,

163
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: and I texted him afterwards, Buck, and I just said,

164
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, congratulations and second of all,

165
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: and maybe it sounds cliche or hokey, but man, I

166
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: do love seeing good things happen to good people. Man.

167
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: He is a great dude, Uh, and much deserve for

168
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: him to get this opportunity. Yeah, you taiked about a

169
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: friend of the show, like a very a friend of

170
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: both of ours. Really excited to see him have his opportunity,

171
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: uh to run an organization. I think depairing of Ran

172
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Carthon Mike Rabel Obviously, I believe they're gonna see the

173
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: game through similar odds and viewpoints. Uh. The one thing

174
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: that we know about the Titans, you talk about leaning

175
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: into that identity, Uh, the Titans are a physical team.

176
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: They want to beat you up at every turn, offensively, defensively.

177
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: They got a big Bill cow and Derrick Henry. Now,

178
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: how do you expand that going forward? Obviously, if you're

179
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Ran Carthon, you've sat there and you've watched the San

180
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine is retain a physical identity while still

181
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: being able to be dynamic in the pasting game. And

182
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see what he's able to

183
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: take from his previous destinations, his previous locations, and add

184
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: to what the Titans already have in place. Because we

185
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: think about the receivers that at forty Niners have had

186
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: catch and run specialists, big physical break tackles. Well, Phylon

187
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: Burks is one of those guys who certainly could break

188
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: tackles on the perimeter. How do you surround um the

189
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: quarterback with more of those pieces so now you're a

190
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: little more ballace in Tennessee while not skewing from or

191
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: deviating from your identity. It would be a great partnership

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: between Carthon and very able to see if they can

193
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: take this Tennessee Titans franchise to another level man, no doubt.

194
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 1: Excited for him again, much deserved. I think he'll be successful.

195
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: He's had a front row seat to see what it's

196
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: supposed to look like. They're with really one of the

197
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: best organizations the NFL right now with San Francisco forty Niners,

198
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: and that that synergy between the front office, coaching staff, players,

199
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: it's all aligned in San Francisco. That's why they're having

200
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: some success. So excited for him. I think that's a

201
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: good pairing, it's a good fit. Let's jump in on

202
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: one of these games here, Uh, Jags Chiefs. You're gonna

203
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: be on the call with the Jags as they go

204
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: on the road to take on the Chiefs and Buck.

205
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: I guess I would just lead it to you with this, um.

206
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: You know, you've been around teams forever player and as

207
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: an executive. I just feel like there's times when you

208
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: play with house money and you're pretty dangerous. I mean,

209
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: this is a Jack's team, no expectations, nobody expects this

210
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: even to be a ball game, for it even to

211
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: be close. I kind of you know, I would imagine

212
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: that the that the group there with Doug Peterson kind

213
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: of relations this role. You know, I think he's talked

214
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: about it, you know, talking about house money, any money whatever,

215
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: like they're gonna go and win it, uh DJ. You know,

216
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: like having been in the league for a long time,

217
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: when you get to the uh, the spot where you

218
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: are right now, the quarterfinals, where you have an opportunity

219
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: to win one game and then you played for a

220
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: chance to go to the Super Bowl. Man, you're in

221
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: rare company. And so if you're the Jaguars, Uh, this

222
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: is a time where you man, you you pull no punches.

223
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: You swing for the fences, you go after it. Um

224
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the challenges the Kanzie. The Chiefs are loaded. They're very

225
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: familiar with this part of the tournament. They've been here before,

226
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. I think it's twenty seven and four after

227
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: a bye week. That's including the playoffs in regular season,

228
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: and so you're talking about a team that just understands

229
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: how to win games. Uh, they go come with all

230
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: kinds of new wrinkles and tricks. To me, dj I

231
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: think the key to this game comes down to red

232
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: zone efficiency and it really comes down to the Jaguars

233
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: knowing the personnel that's on the field. When you look

234
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs, you still have the image of Tyreek

235
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Killed and Miko Hartman and Travis Kelsey running all down

236
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: the field on these vertical shots. But you have to

237
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: tell yourself this is a different Kansas City team. Travis

238
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey has twelve touchdowns nineteen receptions over twenty plus yours.

239
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon has nine receiving touchdowns from a running back position,

240
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: and they're big place specialist. The weapon on the outside

241
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: is mvs Marquess Valdez Scantling who has thirteen big plays.

242
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: But it's different than it has been in the past,

243
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: and so you just have to make sure you know

244
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: who's on the field and you make sure you prevent

245
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: them from doing what they do very very well. Yeah,

246
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,119
Speaker 1: you gotta make it a line of scrimmage game. Um

247
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, I know this Jack's team with Trevor Lawrence

248
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: can be high flying and they can really push the

249
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: ball down the field as they did last week against

250
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers. And mean, I guess not as much over

251
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: the top and down the field, but just throwing the

252
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: ball of time. I think you gotta run in a

253
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: little bit more. Uh, And this one, if you get

254
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: a lead, you've got to keep your foot on the

255
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: gas because you know Kansas City is coming. They're gonna

256
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna eventually put up points. I think the numbers,

257
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean to be honestly, I think you probably got

258
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: to get the thirty four thirty five points in this game,

259
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: but you've got to find a way to get some

260
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: stops down in the red zone. As you mentioned, um Man,

261
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: it's just it feels like, you know, it's gonna be

262
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: in the thirties. The Chiefs are gotta definitely getting gonna

263
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: get into the thirties with their offense. You've got to

264
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: find a way. Man, can you steal a possession? I mean, Doug,

265
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: Doug is not afraid to be aggressive. This feels like

266
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: a fourth down game. Um, you know you don't want

267
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: to be uh, you know, be reckless. But you get

268
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: anywhere around midfield and you get a fourth and three

269
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: or less, uh, you're going. I mean, you've got to

270
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: play aggressive in this game again. And I think that

271
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: goes back to the not having anything to lose. I

272
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: think that's gonna free them up to be aggressive. So

273
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the funny thing in week tend when Jaguars went to

274
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City and played him the first go around, uh,

275
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: first click, first kickoff on side kick, Uh, when we're

276
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: on fourth down, did some things that were I was

277
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: a cutting edge. So now you can't go back to

278
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: the unsaid kid. Then you gotta go maybe to a

279
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: fake punt, fake field, go something like that to still

280
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: the possession. But the one thing that you know, having

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: been with a front row seat for the charges, the

282
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: charges that played them, well, so what do you think

283
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: are the best strategies to deal with the Kansas City

284
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs when it comes to dealing with their high powered

285
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: offense and Pat Mahomes. Yeah, I wrote down like the

286
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes rules when when the Charges are playing them, what

287
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: you try and try and get accomplished. Now it's really difficult,

288
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: but start by rush and four. Um, you've got to

289
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: be able to get home with four guys and be

290
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: able to play coverage behind it. So you need your

291
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: front four to show up and play well. Um, Pat's

292
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Patrick's gonna force a couple of balls. You've got to

293
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: finish you dropped. The interceptions are a killer against them.

294
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I've seen it in games with the Charges over the years.

295
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: You get your opportunities, you might get one or two

296
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: a game, but you've got to catch those in so

297
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: you've got to make those plays. In terms of rush rules,

298
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: do not get caught up the field. Um, you don't

299
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: want him to be able to climb. If he can

300
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: climb up into the pocket, and even if he's moving latterly, buck,

301
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: if he has a chance to get his shoulders parallel

302
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, he can hit it to

303
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: the left sideline, you can hit to the right sideline.

304
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: You have to defend the entire field when that happens.

305
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: So do not get caught up the field and let

306
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: him climb and maneuver that way, or you're gonna be

307
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: in big trouble. Um. So those are some of the

308
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: things you have to do against Patrick Mahomes. And the

309
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: other thing is you've got to get your hands on

310
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: these guys at the line of scrimmage. If you give

311
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: them free releases with the rhythm and timing that he

312
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: plays with, um, you're in big trouble. So you've got

313
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: to find a way to get your hands, especially on

314
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: Kelsey at the line of scrimmage. Just reroute him, try

315
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: and take a little of that rhythm away, because once

316
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: that thing gets humming and they get rolling, uh, you're

317
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: not gonna stop him. You know. It's a very difficult

318
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: offense to defend. And the funny thing DJ is they

319
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: lose an all for a wide receiver and Tyreek Hill

320
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: and they haven't skipped a beat. You talked about the

321
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: magic number being about thirty four Doug Peters in this age, Look,

322
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna take thirty points at a minimum to win

323
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: this game. And so you talk about a track meet,

324
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: but it almost has to be instead of a one

325
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: uh dash, it might need to be a four hundred

326
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: or eight hundred. So you want to score, but you

327
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: might want to take your time getting around the track.

328
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: You don't want to go up and down where it's

329
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: like an ArenaBall game. And so can you employ a

330
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: ball control passing game to go with the running game

331
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: to really drain the clock. I think you have to

332
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: be very selective in how you attack because you want

333
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: to retain the ball and you don't want to give

334
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: extra possessions number fifteen because he's two dangerous, no doubt. Well,

335
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun one. You can find that game.

336

Speaker 1: eight fifteen Eastern on Fox. Check that one out. This

352
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be the third meeting between these two teams.

353
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: You go back to their previous two meetings. Week fourteen. Uh,

354
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Eagles all over the Giants forty eight to twenty two.

355
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts huge day two, seventeen passing yards, a couple

356
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: of touchdowns for the year, seventy seven on the ground. Uh,

357
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: and a touchdown there they got after Daniel Jones and

358
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: that one. Then you go to the next one sixteen

359
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: game and Week eighteen, where the Giants were not playing

360
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: all their guys and still played them very tough. This

361
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: is a Giants team that just keeps getting better and

362
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: better under Brian day Ball as the season goes along.

363
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Coming off a big win, a lot of energy, a

364
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of juice coming out of that game over Minnesota

365
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: last week. This one is a scary one for the Eagles. Man,

366
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: what do you think, Yeah, this is a scary one

367
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: because this will be the first time that the Philadelphia

368
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Eagles have to go into the playoffs with x bick t.

369
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: The pressure being the number one seed is a little different,

370
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: and so even though everyone would come into the link

371
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: expecting a party at the end of the game, it's

372
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: a little different when it's your difference rather than someone

373
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: that knows you so well, like the New York Giants.

374
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: And so the big thing if I'm Nick Sirianni, what

375
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: can I do to get my quarterback and my offense

376
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: off to a fast start. We can talk about Jalen

377
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: Hursts dealing with that shoulder injury, but more importantly, how

378
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: can I make him comfortable? Yes, he's played in the

379
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: playoff game before, but this is the second one and

380
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: this is a huge stage. So that opening fifteen, that

381
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: first fifteen script that every offensive coordinator talks about. Man,

382
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: I need to layer some design quarterback runs, some r

383
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: p O, some easy layups. I need to get everyone

384
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: involved because the nerves are gonna be ratcheted up and

385
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: the pressure is gonna be building from the jump because

386
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: everyone knows that this is a huge game between bitter folds.

387
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: They know each other better than anybody else. Yeah, this

388
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be a game really strength versus strength. I

389
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: think when you look at the Eagles off line going

390
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: up against the Giants defensive line is playing really well,

391
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: especially uh, your guy, your dad's guy, Big Decks has

392
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: been awesome Dexter Lawrence for the Giants, and it's a

393
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: tough matchup for Kelsey. Kelsey's is unbelievable center, athletic move,

394
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: get to the second level, climb, get out on screens. Um,

395
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: that's a lot of size over his nose there with

396
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence. So that's gonna be a key matchup that

397
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: offensive line versus the Giants defensive line. And then you

398
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: go over to the Giants offense. They found something um

399
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones getting comfortable. I feel like, not the

400
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: train wheels per se, but I feel like they're they're

401
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: putting more trust in him and giving him more opportunities

402
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: down the field, and he's he's he's really paid that

403
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: off over the last three four or five weeks. So

404
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: to me, I think this is a very dangerous game

405
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphiagles. I think this ends up being a

406
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: really close game. I'm not gonna make a prediction on

407
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: this one at this point in time, buck, But I

408
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: think this is a fourth quarter game. Uh, and it's

409
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna be really really tight there with the Eagles and

410
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: the Giants looking forward to that one. Alright, Bengals Bills,

411
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: let's get to Sunday. This is Sunday three pm on

412
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: CBS three pm Eastern. You can also find that on

413
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus. This feels like a game of the week

414
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: for me. Uh, Bengals Bills. We've got a little taste

415
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: of it before the unfortunate injury to mar Hamlin. But well,

416
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: I won't leave you. Give me, give me your thoughts

417
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: on this. What do you think? Oh? Now, this this

418
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: is it man, this is musty TV. This is you

419
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: better for a finder place to get around a TV

420
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: screen to watch this one, because this was everything that

421
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: you look for. Uh. You talk about two teams to

422
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: feature franchise quarterback with big time ability. Uh you think

423
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: about Cincinnati and just the swag that Joe Burrow exudes

424
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: and how it just changes the way that this franchise feels. Uh.

425
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: They feel like every time they step into the stadium

426
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to win because number nine is

427
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: a dude. And then when you look at what they've

428
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: surrounded him with big time running back into Joe mixing, Uh,

429
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: playmakers abound and talking about Jamar Chase T Higgins, Tyler

430
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: boyd Um. They're able to really move the ball in

431
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways. And everyone's gonna talk about

432
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: the offensive line. But I actually think, um, the injuries

433
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: are going to enable the Cincinnati Bengals maybe to play

434
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: the best way that they played when they go spread

435
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: and shred, empty the formation out. I'll take care of

436
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: the pass rush. I'm gonna get the ball to my

437
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: playmakers and we'll see if you can tackle them in space.

438
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I think this is a very scary game for the

439
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills because the Bengals can stress him. They can

440
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: stress them in a bunch of different ways. When they

441
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: go into regular eleven personnel package, go empty and allow

442
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow to basically just operate like a point guard. Uh,

443
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: scary game for the Buffalo Bills. They are going to

444
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: need to run the ball and keep the ball out

445
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: of Burrow's hands because if he gets too many opportunities,

446
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna carve them up. Yeah. I man, I thought

447
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals were humming at the end of the year.

448
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: Now it was a little ugly game there against the Ravens.

449
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: You expect that a team that knows him very well.

450
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: Uh their third meeting, they just got by that one.

451
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Um. I thought they were a little off their

452
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: game last week against Miami as well. Again the third

453
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: time you play a team that they're both very similar

454
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: in that regard. Now, I also think in this game,

455
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: both quarterback are gonna get heated up. You talk about

456
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: the injuries there with the Cincinnati offensive line, I think

457
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati defensive line is gonna be able to get

458
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: after Buffalo up front. They're gonna be able to generate

459
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: pressure on Josh Allen. So both these quarterbacks when they're

460
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: under pressure, two things to keep an eye on with

461
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Josh Allen does he protect the football when he's

462
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: under pressure? And do they leave themselves vulnerable Cincinnati to

463
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen taking off and running, I think he runs

464
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot in this ball game. So against the pressure,

465
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: is he able to make you pay by escape and

466
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: buy in time of hitting big plays or taking off

467
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: and running, or can you get to him and force

468
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: some turnovers either fumbles or speeding up his clock force

469
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: in the football, which he's done a lot of here

470
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: uh lately. So that's gonna be key on that side.

471
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: You look on the other side with Joe Burrow the

472
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: pressure Burrowed does a great job. He'll take sacks buck,

473
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: He's not afraid to do that. He'll throw the ball

474
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: away very rarely. You see him put the ball in

475
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: harm's way when he's under pressure. He handles that very well. Um,

476
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be key though with them, can they capitalize

477
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: when Buffalo wants to send some extra rushers. Can you

478
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: make them pay with big chunk plays down the field.

479
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna be key. That's gonna be key. And the

480
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: one thing that you pointed out the Cincinnati Bengals defense

481
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: and their defensive coordinate lou in a remote He does

482
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: a great job of switching the looks. And what the

483
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins did is they gave him a little preview

484
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: of how to play against uh Josh Allen. They won

485
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of cover Zebro. They did some things it

486
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: was hit or missed, but seven sacks, a handful of turnovers.

487
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: You best believe the Cincinnati Bengals are going to replicate

488
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: some of those things that were there. And because they

489
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: have I wass say better personnel could be problematic for

490
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, it's gonna be a great game again,

491
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: the game of the weekend. Cannot wait to watch that Sunday,

492
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: three pm Eastern on CBS. Alright, we've got one more

493
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: game to get to. Uh, We're gonna take a quick

494
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: break when we come back. It feels like it's the

495
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: nineties all over again. Cowboys forty Niners, a big playoff game,

496
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: a big stage. We'll give you our thoughts on that

497
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: one right after this break. All Right, this is another

498
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: big one here, this one Sunday night, six thirty pm Eastern.

499
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: This one's on Fox, and again it's a throwback game, Buck,

500
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: It's one we've seen so many times in the postseason.

501
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: The most recent edition we saw was a wild one.

502
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: But we've got the forty Niners hosting the Dallas Cowboys. Uh,

503
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: and a really intriguing matchup. Man, I'm fascinating. Get your

504
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on this one. I've got my own. But what's

505
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: your take here on how this one goes down? Man?

506
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: This is a tough one, but it's it's it's one

507
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: where we have an opportunity, really to see the Dallas

508
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys used to San Francisco forty Niners. As a measuring

509
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: stick you talk about life coming full circle. Last year

510
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: in the postseason, the forty nine has beat them up, uh,

511
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: really challenged them in a different way, and they didn't

512
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: handle it will And so now you've had a full

513
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: year to put your team in a position to run

514
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: it back, and we'll get an opportunity to see if

515
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: you're able to answer the test. But I would say

516
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: this is a very difficult matchup of the Cowboys because

517
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: the forty Niners can do it all offensively. They can

518
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: run it at you between the tackles and on the edges.

519
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: They have playmakers that can win one on one matchups

520
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: on the outside, particularly in the way that they utilize

521
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: their passing with a lot of boots and movements and

522
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: those things. They're gonna test you and they make you

523
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: tackle their best players in space. And when I look

524
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: at Traymond Diggs and some of the other guys that

525
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: are out there may not be the most sure, uh

526
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: or dependable tacklers. And if you don't tackle this team

527
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: wellness space, those short passes, those small games, they go

528
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: for home runs. And so this will be the biggest

529
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: challenge that the Cowboys have faced all year. I can't

530
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: wait to see what they do. Well, let me get

531
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this one because last year, you look

532
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: at that playoff game, obviously the Cowboys aren't able to

533
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: get another snap off, right, we know about how they

534
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: mangle the into that game. They lose twenty three to

535
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: seven team the four Niners with Garoppolo through times in

536
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: that game they ran a thirty eight times. Do you

537
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: think we see a similar game plan in this one,

538
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: which is to come out and try and punch the

539
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys right in the face. I think that's what cal

540
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: Sean does. Like for all of the wizardry that we

541
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: celebrate him about, I think his creativity is really in

542
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: the running game. Uh. He finds a way to create

543
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: extra blockers, to get extra blockers into the runs. He

544
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: finds a way to kind of put you, uh in

545
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: bad leverage spots and they take advantage of it. And

546
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: because he's a symboled what I think is the perfect

547
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: offense for what he wants to do. A bunch of

548
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: hybrid playmakers that can bounce around and move around, they

549
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: create problems. And so I think with Brock pretty even

550
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: though I would say Brock Pretty is an upgrade over

551
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo in terms of his mobility and playmaking. The ability.

552
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I still think you want to kind of keep the

553
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: seat built on him. You don't want to make it

554
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: a game where brock Pretty has to throw it thirty

555
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: plus times. Maybe you throw it early, play action, Uh,

556
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: try and get the lead so then you can get

557
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: the running it. But if they could get the forty runs, uh,

558
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty niners I have in their way with

559
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and they're probably gonna walk out of this state,

560
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: he would have win. Yeah, I think it all signs

561
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: point towards San Francisco. And I think last week they

562
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: chucked it, came out throwing the ball against Seattle. I

563
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: think they come out running it. Try and establish that

564
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. There's one thing I'll keep an eye

565
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: on this game with Dallas, actually give it one on

566
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: each side of the ball. Defensively, if the pass rush

567
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: that showed up last week shows up this week. What

568
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: they did to Tom Brady and Tampa up front with

569
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: really four guys heating him up, Michael Parsons having double

570
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: digit pressures. If they're able to do that, they've got

571
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: a real shot here. Of course, you've got to earn

572
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: your pass rush reps by how you play the run,

573
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: So that's one thing. Keep an eye on that side

574
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: of the ball you flip it over the other side. Buck.

575
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but when you have a

576
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: pass rush like the forty Niners have and you've got

577
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa out there, I'd like to see the Cowboys

578
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: come out with a little tempo in this game. See

579
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: if you can't keep that same group on the field.

580
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: They like to roll guys through, keep them fresh. Uh,

581
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: Chris Cost their defensive line coach man. They like to

582
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: play a hunter miles an hour at old times. I

583
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: might go a little tempo here. See if you can't

584
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: keep that same group group out there, tire them out

585
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, come out throwing the ball if your Dallas.

586
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: If you can wear them down a little bit, it's

587
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: tiring when you're constantly rushing the past her. And then

588
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: see if they can't get the run game going after that.

589
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: So it'll be fascinating to see what Kelly Moore does here.

590
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: But I'd like to see them come out a little

591
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: bit of tempo. Yeah, I get what she's in and

592
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: throw early, run late. Uh, they're going to need to

593
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: be able to score point and they have to put

594
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: points on the board. You talk about the magic the

595
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: magic number in this game, I believe is certainly thirty

596
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: as well. And part of that is because the Cowboys

597
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: have to push the pace. The Cowboys don't have as

598
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: talented a group as they had last year when they played,

599
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: particularly on offense, and so now this has to be

600
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: a Dak Prescott game. Dak Prescott is going to have

601
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: to play at or above the level that we saw

602
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: him play against Tampa Buccaneers when he was outstanding. He

603
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: is going to have to find a way to carve

604
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: up this forty Niners defense. Now there's some I guess

605
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: some some optimism that ship spring and uh, the Cowboys

606
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: facility because if you go and you look at the

607
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: way the Raiders successfully moved the ball down the field

608
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: on the Niners with Jared Stidham, there's some things that

609
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of. But can you protect him,

610
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: can you protect against Nick Bosa? Can you keep the

611
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: other guys out of his face? And can you run

612
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: the ball at times when everyone in the stadium knows

613
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: you have to run it? They have to still get

614
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: some of those dirty yards. But your suggestion of playing

615
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: with tempo is a small one because you don't want

616
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: the forty nine is to be able to roll those

617
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: defensive linemen in like a hockey line, hockey shift where

618
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: they're just coming in and out, because eventually their talent

619
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: and their physicality will wear you out. Over sixty million games, yeah,

620
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm going through Deck's game logs this year.

621
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: So if you just go regular season Buck one, he

622
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: had one three yard game in the regular season one

623
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: in the regular season. He had a three hundred yard

624
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: game last week. Um, I think he needs to go

625
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: back to back. I think he's got to throw over

626
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: three hundred yards in this game. I don't think they're

627
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run it much in San Francisco.

628
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: I think another three hundred yard game is gonna be needed. Obviously,

629
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: the four touchdowns no picks last week that you'll take that, uh,

630
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: if you can get that type of performance. But it

631
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: feels to me like they're gonna have gow it over

632
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: three hundred He's gonna have to have three touchdown passes.

633
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a game that's on his right arm.

634
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: I think if they're gonna win this ball game, it's

635
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: gonna be because of Dak Prescott. It's not gonna be

636
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: because of the run game. It's just I don't see

637
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: them running the ball very well against this group. No.

638
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: This this this when when you ended a forty million

639
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: dollar club. This is what we talk about quarterbacks. And

640
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: I would say he has a lesser supporting cast than

641
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: his opponent. Brock Purdy has a better supporting cast. But

642
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: not only does Deak Prescott have to outplay the quarterback,

643
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: he has to outplay the forty niners offense. So when

644
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: you talk about three hundred yards, it needs to be

645
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and three or four touchdowns. However you

646
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: get those running, passing, or whatever. But he is going

647
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: to have to be the guy that is central, that

648
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: is really responsible for the way this offense runs. It

649
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: won't be a Tony Poliday, it will not be Ezekiel

650
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: l a day is number four all day, and how

651
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: he performs well also determine whether the Cowboys go on

652
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: and have an opportunity to play for the Super Bowl,

653
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: no doubt. Looking forward to a great weekend of football, Buck,

654
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: travel safe as you head out to Kansas City. Good

655
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: luck to you and your Jags. Hopefully it's a It's
