1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: What's up everybody, d J bucking here? This is our 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: move the six ten takeaways from what we've seen in 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: the NFL action that took place today. Buck, How you doing? Man? Man? 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm good. It was a great football Sunday. Obviously, had 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: fun on the desk with you. Then I jumped on 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: the couch for about an hour. Larry King came through 8 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: and then I watched the rest of the games kind 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: of house I did. I did see you with Larry King. 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: You got did the couch show today on on the 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. What's Larry King had to say about 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: the NFL right now? Oh, he's just talking. He had 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: a new Dolphins jersey. Know. I think he had a 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: cam wake today. Last time I was with him last 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: year he had Ryan Tannehill and they got a lost tonight. 16 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: So I'm sure he's not real excited about his dophense. 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: We're gonna that's uh, that's spoiler. That's gonna be our 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: number ten and our ten takeaways. Not Larry King, but 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: actually what took place in the Sunday night football game. 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: But let's not let's not mess around here. Let's jump 21 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: right into our first takeaway from this week's action, and 22 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: Bucky the first one. I try to keep things positive, 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: but I can't hear. Uh. The Giants, the New York 24 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: Football Giants. This is a team that's very much so 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: in the mix for the number one pick, and the 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: Giants are gonna fall the one in seven for the 27 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 1: first time since nine. And they'll have lost their first 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: four home games of a season for the first time 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: since nine. Yeah. That's uh, that's the voice of despair 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: right there. Buck. We watched this game. We're on on 31 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: TV doing that show today, Game Day Live, and uh, 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: is this team quit? Because I hate using the que word, 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: but man, that was the effort was horrendous in this 34 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: game by the Giants against the Rams. No, they didn't 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: look good, they didn't play well. They gave up fifty 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: plus points. Uh. Defensively, their number number of chances that 37 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: we saw their guys that they had opportunity to make tackles, 38 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: they didn't do it. Um. They just didn't play with 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: the kind of energy to Jack's pay to see from 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: a pro team. And then when you look back over 41 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: the last two or three weeks, they've had a number 42 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: of big time players suspend it not dressed out. Uh, 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: you're beginning to wonder if the players are really buying 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: into what being Macado is selling and if they're not 45 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: buying in if you're being macad, how do you change that? 46 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: How do you change the narrative that currently exists in 47 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: your locker room? The next seven or so weeks will 48 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: determine a lot about where the Jazz are going in 49 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: terms of going forward and how they should really figure 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: out how to rebuild their team with that number one 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: pick potentially in their back pocket. Yeah. Look, Odell Beckham Jr. 52 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Not Being there is big, But there's a lot of 53 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: the teams with with star players out of the lineup 54 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: that are finding a way to be competitive. If you 55 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: told me this point in time in the season that 56 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: the Jets would be where they are and the Giants 57 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: are where they are, Uh, never would have bought it. 58 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: Never would have bought it. This team is a bad, 59 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: bad football team. And you know what, you can't put 60 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: all this on Eli. You didn't have many receivers, but 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: I think when you look at his age and where 62 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: they're going to be picking, you know, I look, they 63 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: have there one way I mean they're right there are 64 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: the Niners and the Browns the only teams ahead of them. 65 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: Here as we look towards the draft, they're got a 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: chance to be a top three pick. If not, they 67 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: had one or two pick, and in my opinion, Buck, 68 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: where they are at the age of the quarterback, they 69 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: have to take one. I think you take the quarterback, Like, 70 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: I don't care what Eli and how long he's gonna 71 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: be there. I think you take one of the quarterbacks, 72 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: one of the big three that we talked about it there. 73 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: You have to take them, and I think you take 74 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: them knowing that maybe not Tea, but in twenty nine team, 75 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: he is going to be the starting quarterback. Uh. I 76 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: love what Eli has done for the Giants, love the 77 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: fact that he's won two Super Bowls, two Super Bowl 78 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: m vps. But now looking at their team, it's about 79 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: finding a younger quarterback to lead this team into the 80 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: next decade or so. I'm talking about number one picks 81 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: that gets us to number two on the takeaway list. 82 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: What do you got, Buck, Golf and Win so definitely 83 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: worthy of being the number one, number two picks overall. 84 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: In third Down thirty three, nine and a half to 85 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: go bubble screen left side. Robert Wood's charging had forty 86 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: five breaks inside forty thirty Robert would first down ten 87 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: five touchdown LA on first down a Giant gets no, 88 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: that's a fake passed to Jeffrey for the touchdown. What 89 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: beautiful set it up with the fakes of the belly 90 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: of a g Talk at fix and went to Jeffrey 91 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: thirty two yards. You know, DJ, there's a lot of 92 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: conversation about these two guys and how these two guys 93 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: were not worth what their teams were giving up to 94 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: get in a position to be number one and number two, 95 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: to take them one and two off the board. But 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: I think in a year's time, we have seen that 97 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: both of these guys, and not only franchise quarterbacks, but 98 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: these guys have the opportunity to be superstars in this 99 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: league based on how they're playing and based on how 100 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: the teams are constructed around them. Yeah, I think you 101 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: to me, this is a beautiful example of getting a 102 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: player on the field, finding out what he does well 103 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: and what will work well around him. And then that 104 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: second year, that first offseason, after you've seen these guys 105 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: play for a year, I thought both those teams had 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: a beautiful job of building up talent around them where 107 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: they could showcase their talents. Jared Golf buck he doesn't 108 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: look anything like the guy we saw last year. Nothing no, nothing, 109 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: nothing like the guy that we saw a year ago. 110 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: And I mean, look, the conversation heading into the season 111 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: was Jerry Golf maybe a bust of l A. Rams 112 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: may have to move on and get another quarterback. That's 113 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: how quickly people that kind of soured on Jerry Golf. 114 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: But then you look up and all the season over 115 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: six completion rate, thirteen touchdowns, four interception, ninety seven point 116 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: nine passer rating. Uh coming off the best game as 117 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: a pro. I think today we had three and eleven yards, 118 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, no picks, and we saw him use the 119 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: entire repertoire that we saw him use at KAL. I mean, 120 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: he's outstanding Carston Wentz. You look at this season, UH, 121 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: twenty three touchdowns, five picks, one or four point one 122 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: passer rating m v P can the date. Four test 123 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: downs today, even though he didn't have over two hundred 124 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: passing yards, We've seen him kind of command everything, control 125 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: of the team. The team is definitely built around him, 126 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: and so for both of these guys. Both franchise had 127 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: to be excited about the young quarterbacks because when you 128 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: you solve that piece of the puzzle, it makes it 129 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: so much easier to be able to rest the team 130 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: around him. Yeah. I don't remember going back into that draft. Okay, 131 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's not a sexy draft, and maybe these guys 132 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: have got pushed up or elevated up the board a 133 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: little bit higher than they should That was kind of 134 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: the narrative. But those teams were desperate at the position 135 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: and they had to do it. Now it's looking like 136 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: not only were those guys worthy of going one and two, 137 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: they were worthy of the aggressive trades that took place 138 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: to go up there and get them. So hats off 139 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: to uh Howie Roseman for going up there with the 140 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: Eagles and going up to get Carson Wentzon and I 141 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: think you gotta tip your cap and look, Jeff Fisher's 142 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: taking a lot of ammo for for all his feelings 143 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: in a long career here with the Rams that did 144 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: not work out well. I think they upgraded the head 145 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: coach position. I don't think anybody wou doubt that, but 146 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: him and less need together making that decision to go 147 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: up and get Jared Goff. You gotta give him credit. Yeah, 148 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: you have to give him credit because they made a move. 149 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: They made a bowl move to get the California kid. Um. 150 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: There's some conversation about whether Wentz or Golf which would 151 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: be better suited to play in l A. Jerry Golf 152 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: has now shown that when surrounded by the right coach, 153 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: he is a big time player. He can make all 154 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: the throws, he can do special things. Um. I'm excited 155 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: about watching the Rams play, and then when Carson Wentz 156 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: in the Philadelphia Eagles, I think the excitement is twofold. 157 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: You not only have a quarterback who is really playing 158 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: at a high level, you have a team that is 159 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: multifasted on both sides of the ball, a team that 160 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: is built to be a championship team. This team has everything. 161 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: When you really look at them, they don't have a 162 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: glaring weakness. We can talk about the secondary, but they're 163 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: getting the reinforcements back. Ronald Darby's coming back, Say Jones 164 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: is gonna get on the field at some point. They're 165 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: going to be fine. In the back end. Their front 166 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: seven is outstanding. Its particularly the defensive lie where they 167 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: can just roll waves of bodies, and then by making 168 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: the move to pick eight, pick up J A. G. I. 169 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: What they have now is a full and complete stable 170 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: of running backs. They can attack you any number of ways. 171 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: They've done a really good job of quickly assembling a 172 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: team that looks like it has championship written all over it. Well, 173 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: that gets This is kind of a two parter here 174 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: for points number two and three on the takeaways. The 175 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: next one here will explain just the secondary of the 176 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: Eagles and Rams. As you can imagine, they're definitely on 177 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: a collision course. Gino Smith takes a knee, and we 178 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: are done. At Metlive Stadium. The Rams put up fifty 179 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: one points a career day for Jared Goff. Final score 180 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles fifty one the Broncos. What a one sided game, 181 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: and the Eagles enter the by eight at one with 182 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: the best record of the entire National Football League. So 183 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: December at the Colisseum, you're gonna have to Philadelphia Eagles 184 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: traveling to take on the Los Angeles Rams. Buck. This 185 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: is a collision course that looks like it could be 186 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: for home field advantage if this kind of holds the 187 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: way these teams are rolling right now, So circle that 188 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: date on the calendar right now, December ten, Eagles Rams. 189 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: That'll be a big one. Oh, it'll be a huge one. 190 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: Great game to watch, This great game with all kinds 191 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: of playoff implications. Uh. The l A Rams have really 192 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: put themselves in a nice position in the NFC West. 193 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: The way they play each week, they're adding pieces to 194 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: the poles. And when you look at the players that 195 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: are involving in the game plan, the way they're playing, 196 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: the different things that are doing, they're trending in the 197 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: right direction. And then the Philadelphia Eagles are the front runners. 198 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: They are really really playing outstanding ball on both sides 199 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: of the ball, and that quarterback continues to flourish. This 200 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: is going to be a marquee matchup when they match 201 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: up in the early part of December. And one thing 202 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: about the Eagles too, I think you look at them 203 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: having the best record in the league, and a lot 204 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: of times you have teams that that have a hot 205 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: star like this, You look, man, they've been been and 206 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: they've had the benefit of great health. They've lost their 207 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: left tackle in Jason Peters, a key ingredient on offense 208 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: and on special teams in Darren Sprawls, Fletcher Cox has 209 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: missed some games along the way. Zach Ertz did not 210 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: play today. Um, so they've had looked that Jordan Hicks, 211 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: the middle linebackers out, he's been out, he's out for 212 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: the year. So they've had some injuries Derby who you 213 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: mentioned a little bit earlier. Uh, and they've kind of 214 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: found a way to overcome that. So this is a 215 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: good team. This is a deep football team, and I 216 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: think the rams uh continue to evolve and grow on 217 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: a weekly basis. So now those are two teams looks 218 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: like in the NFC. We're gonna see on a collision 219 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: course December at the College c mL. Right, what's number 220 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: four on the list book? Addition by subtraction works for 221 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. McCaffrey behind Stewart, the fake to Stewart, 222 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: the flip to McCaffrey, trucking, laugh, gotta touchdown Carolina. Nobody 223 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: home on the left side. As soon as the pitch 224 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: was made. That was a touchdown. Great play design. You know, 225 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: when you look at the trade that the Carolina Panthers made, 226 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversation about what are the Carolina 227 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: Panthers do one? How could they trade their number one 228 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: receiver away and allow this team to be better. But 229 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: I actually believe removing Calvin Benjamin from the lineup has 230 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: opened up this team to really the possibility of being 231 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: a team that not only gets back into the race, 232 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: but they can challenge one of those top teams in 233 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: the NFC when it comes down to the championship. And 234 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because Marty Herny is 235 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: basically reshaping this team into the way that the Panthers 236 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: were when they were at his best, their best under him, 237 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: big receiver, speed receiver, dynamic quarterback, running game. Cam Newton 238 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: now has an opportunity to throw to Russell Shepherd Curtis 239 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: Samuel on the outside as opposed to having two big 240 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: bodies and Funcious and Benjamin. It creates more room in 241 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: the running game because now the safety has to lean 242 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: over to the speed receiver side, doesn't necessarily put all 243 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: those bodies in the box, and allows Cam Newton to 244 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: have more success pushing the ball down the field. And 245 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: to be honest, I think he plays better when more 246 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: responsibility is on him. He is a guy that actually 247 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: does better with less than he does with more. As 248 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: crazy as it sounds, because today he kind of played 249 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: like the m v P camp that we saw two 250 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: years ago. How about Christian McCaffrey getting fifteen carries today 251 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: had thirteen carries and the opener has not had double 252 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: digit carries since. So they get him fifteen carries, he 253 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: gets sixty six yards four point four carry. I think 254 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: it's time now, Buck. I look, he carried a heavy 255 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: load at Stanford. I know he's not the biggest guy 256 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: in the world, but I think he's very capable of 257 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: getting fifteen to twenty carries a game and he's gonna 258 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: hold up just fine. And we were talking about during 259 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: the show. I think he might be one of those guys. Hey, 260 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: you know, six seven, eight carries, can't get in a rhythm. 261 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get a whole lot out of him. 262 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: You might be a situation. You get him into fifteen 263 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: sixteen one carries, he's gonna have a chance to pop 264 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: a couple of these. Yeah. I think you have to 265 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: lather him up. I think the best thing to happen 266 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: to them today Jonathan Stewart put the ball on the 267 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: ground twice. That forced him to put Christian McCaffrey on 268 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: the field. In a more feature back role, so he 269 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: got a chance to stay on the field, get a 270 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: number of carries in succession, find the rhythm, find the holes, 271 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: and I think I thought we played saw him play 272 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: better as a result of that. Didn't get over a 273 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: hundred of scrimmage jars, but he played really well. Uh 274 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: six or six rush yards, twenty eighth receiving yards. That's 275 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: the kind of production that we want to see here. 276 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: And then with Cam Newton, Cam Newton, for all the 277 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: conversation about him, Hey, we need to preserve him so 278 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: he can be a long term player there. I think 279 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers need to let Cam play the way 280 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: he's always played. Eighty six rushing yards today only a 281 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven passing. But that kind of production 282 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: in the run game typically least to success for the 283 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers because now teams have to focus on him 284 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: as a runner. That allows those guys to have one 285 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: on one on the outside, makes it easier when he 286 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: does decide to pass. All right, Buck, I'm gonna switch 287 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: over the falcons here real quick before we move on. 288 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you a story that you're gonna think 289 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with football and has nothing to do 290 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: do with the Falcons, But I'm gonna tell you a 291 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: story about meat driving across country and how this is 292 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: gonna helped solve the atlant the Falcons problems. Okay, I'm 293 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: driving cross country. Got drive back to app State over 294 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: the summer. Me and my brother in the truck, going 295 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: to drive straight. We didn't want to stop. We just 296 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: want to get there. So it's the middle of the night. 297 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: He's it's your turn, and so it's my turn to drive. 298 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: I said, hey, listen, when we get some gas, I 299 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: gotta load up on some caffeine. I gotta get ready 300 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: to go so I can stay up to the night 301 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: and keep us, you know, keep us truck in here, 302 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: keep us alive. Pulling to the gas station, buck, I 303 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: go get myself. I don't know root beer, So I 304 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: crushed the root beer. My brother is asleep. He wakes up. 305 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: It's like four o'clock in the morning. I've been, you know, 306 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: driving through the night. He goes, how are you doing? Oh, 307 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, man, Just you know, got all this caffeine? 308 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: Is root beer? Good to go? He goes, what I go, No, 309 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: the caffeine. I just I'm wide awake. He goes No, No, 310 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: what do you say you were drinking? Said it root beer? 311 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: There's no caffeine in root beer. But it's the placebo effect, right, 312 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: So this is how I get to the Falcons. Do 313 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: I think that all their problems are because of their 314 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: offensive coordining to Steve Sarkisian, No, but I'm kind of 315 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: to the point now where I think it's a situation 316 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: where if you, if you were to make a change 317 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: at that position, maybe you can trick people in this 318 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: offense into thinking it was his fault and that you 319 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: can get them back on track with a new voice, 320 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: because right now it is not working. No, it's not working, 321 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: and I actually was optimistic that it would work. Um. 322 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: I think it's he's challenged in the fact that he's 323 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator who comes from his own system, but 324 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: he has been asked to run Kyle Shanahan's offense. And 325 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: if it's not your baby, you don't necessarily know all 326 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: the ins and outs and the things that you need 327 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: to to get it to run successfully. And so they 328 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: have identity crisis. The Atlanta Falcons don't know who they 329 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: are on offense. Are they a running team? Are they 330 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: a throwing team? What does Matt Ryan do. How can 331 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: we get him to play an m v P level? 332 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: And right now there's just just a hodgepot. And so 333 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: whether Falcons actually need is to lean on their run game. 334 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman, Tevin Coleman let them kind of set the table. 335 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: Julia Jones will always get his touches, but the rest 336 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: of the guys will benefit from seeing more one on 337 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: one coverage, one more one on one opportunities, and the 338 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: big plays will start to happen. And once death starts 339 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: to happen, then the defense would get juiced up and 340 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: start playing at a higher level. Right, no question, I'm 341 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: with you on that one. All right, let's uh, let's 342 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: move on here. What's the next year. Let's go to 343 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. This is uh, this is a team, man. 344 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: Are they desperate for a quarterback? Us? While the play 345 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: fake looks left, throws a pass right into the hands 346 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: of a defender and this will be intercepted, got in 347 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: front of Damarius Thomas and now down the sideline forced 348 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: out of bounds. That was Patrick Robinson, the eight year 349 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: cornerback at of Florida State. I always say, Bucky, you've 350 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: got a quarterback. You've got a chance no matter what 351 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: the rest of your roster looks like. It's to me 352 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: when you look at this Broncos team, and I don't 353 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: want to use the word quit. I don't think it 354 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: was as bad as what we saw from the Giants, 355 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: what we saw from the Bucks. I did give up 356 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: fifty points fifty one points to the Eagles in this game, 357 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: but I I still saw effort there. I just think 358 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: when you know you don't have a quarterback for even 359 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: for defense is talented this one, it's just demoralizing. I mean, 360 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: you get down a couple of scores and there is 361 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: no hope. I think that's the big thing that you 362 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: talk about. We've heard a bunch of coaches when we 363 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: were doing the Quarterback podcast talk about a good quarterback 364 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 1: will give you hope, it will bring optimism in the 365 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: locker room. Right now, when they look at the quarterback, 366 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: whoever it is, up on the center, they don't fully 367 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: believe that the guy that is leading them can get 368 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: them to the Winter Circle. Makes you play differently. The 369 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: defense doesn't believe they get enough stops today, guy can 370 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: bring them back if they have a bad day. That 371 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: brock Oswalder or Trevior Simon can bring them back. Just 372 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: makes it so tough to play like that now. Also, 373 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: I think it makes it tough for a coach to 374 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: call the game for a quarterback that is so limited. 375 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: But that's where the Broncos are right now, and I 376 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: don't think they can really change that until they get 377 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 1: into the off season and will trust me coming from 378 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: an organization haven't spent four years in Baltimore where except 379 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: for the last year was there was when McNair came in, 380 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: we had some success. But if you're winning and you're 381 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: a lopsided football team, it's fine. When you start piling 382 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: up losses there, three and five right now, and you're 383 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: lopsided in terms of the talent gap offensively, defensively, and 384 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: that comes mainly from the lack of quarterback play, it's 385 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: gonna be tough to hold the locker room. It's tough 386 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: to hold that together because it becomes very much us 387 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: versus them in that in that locker room, because you 388 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: just know, hey, we're good enough, they're not. Yeah, I mean, 389 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: I think it's very much us versus them. And you 390 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: think about the loud or the strong personalities that on 391 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: that side of the ball for that team a key 392 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: to leave Chris Harris, some of the other guys that 393 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: speak up in short, Yeah, I think you'd be challenging 394 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: for that offense every day in the locker room to 395 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: have to look at that defense and know that they're 396 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: not getting it done. They're not holding up Darrian the deal. 397 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: All right, what's what's number six on the list? Here? 398 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: The Saints are legitimate contenders due to their running back 399 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: combination and they're surprising defense. First intense Saints at the 400 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: buck thirty three breeze setting up the screen. Camara, Camara 401 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: with some running room near sideline, down down to the fifteen, 402 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: inside the fifteen and he's still on his feet and 403 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: he will score. It looked like he was gonna be 404 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: down around the ten yard line, but the slippery roofie 405 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: out of Tennessee takes a thirty three yards for the 406 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: touchdown DC. When I look at the New Orleans Saints, 407 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: I think they're for real. And they're for real now 408 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: because Sean Payton has figured out who the Saints are. 409 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: They are a team that is less reliant on the 410 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: quarterback now than ever. They have to star running backs 411 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: that can get it done. Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. 412 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: Since they get rid of Adrian Peterson, both of those 413 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: guys have combined to have over two hundred scrimmage yards. 414 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: I think this is a lot about the diversity of 415 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: their offense. And then defensively, I know you just wrote 416 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: an article where you talked about their rookie class and 417 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: how well they're playing. But defensively, those guys are playing 418 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: lights out. They coming into this week, they were holding 419 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: people to around seventeen points per game in the last 420 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: four or five games. To hold the Bucks to ten, Yeah, 421 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: that defense is training in the right direction. Yeah. To me, 422 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: they got a little swagger going to him. I actually 423 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: went and pulled up my Kimera because I've heard it 424 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: both ways, Kamara Kimarah. I like the sound of Kamara better, 425 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: but I guess I've been doing it wrong. Apparently it's 426 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 1: kamara Um. I went back and pulled up my report 427 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: buck from from last year. One year starter. Ideal size, speed, 428 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: instincts inside runs, slashing running style, ability to get skinny 429 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: through the whole Lateral quickness is off the charts, gets up, 430 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: gets up the top speed in a hurry, has surprising 431 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: power at all three levels against Vanderbilt broke six tackles 432 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: on one play, has a speed to get to the 433 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: edge on outside runs. He's elusive in space. He's dangerous 434 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: in the passing game. Natural hands, shows the ability to 435 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: make special catches see a one hander versus and m. 436 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: The major knock on Camar Camara has been the lack 437 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: of carries during his career. He's never carried the ball 438 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: more than eighteen times. However, he has an elite skill 439 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: set and could up being the best running back in 440 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: this entire class. I mean, I agree. I was a 441 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: huge fan. I thought he was outstanding. I thought he 442 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: was terrific um. I thought he was another version of 443 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey in terms of what he could bring to 444 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: the field. I thought he was explosive when he had 445 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, and I thought he had 446 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: an opportunity to be a very electric playmaker for his team. 447 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing in New Orleans is once they 448 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: got rid of Adrian Peterson, they were able to really 449 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: expand the role for Alvin Kamara, and he's been outstanding. 450 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: He's been terrific. I mean, over a hundred and fifty 451 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Scrimma jaris today the way he's doing inside and outside 452 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: as a running receiver and playmaker. He is a huge 453 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: mismatched player and it's a huge advantage for those things 454 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: to be able to exploit him in the matchups that 455 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: they have against others when you know that defensive backs 456 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: and linebackers can't match up with him. Side note here, 457 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: real quick. What was more bizarre? Was it Jamis's pregame 458 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: speech or was it him getting a fight when he 459 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: had already been out of the game. I mean, I 460 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: think everything. I think the pregame speech was odd, but 461 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: but Jameis Winston getting involved in kind of like a 462 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: skirmish um because he decided to put his finger in 463 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: the back of Marshawn Lattimore's helmet, I think that's a problem. 464 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: And I think it's a problem only because I love 465 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: his competitiveness. I'm all fully on board with the things 466 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: that he has done. However, when you're the captain of 467 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: the team, you to lead, you the face of the franchise. 468 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: There's a certain way that you have to act. You 469 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: have to kind of be have a CEO mentality at 470 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: all times, and I don't think he exhibited it to me. 471 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: I think it's problematic especially for a team that is 472 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: really looking for him to lead them out of this monk. Yeah, look, 473 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna climb out of two and six. You gotta 474 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: have some things working for you. Gotta have a fire, 475 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: which I think we all know James has no question. 476 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: We also have a little discipline there. Um, just a weird, 477 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: weird day there, Saints all over the Bucks thirty to 478 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: ten in a game. It wasn't even that close. All right, 479 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: let's let's keep things moving here. Um this one. Speaking 480 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: of some weird things that happened, we had a fight 481 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: in that Saints game with the with Jameis Winston getting 482 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: involved in it. But man, the main event that was 483 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville where the Jags are building a bully 484 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: and I mean for real, they are really building a 485 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: bully shotgun for Dalton four man front for the jack 486 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: robbing to throw his Dolly's gonna get shacked again. Here 487 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: they come. They waited a while to get gone, and 488 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: now the sacking change has got it gone. Can I 489 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: ask Campbell got in there another sack for Clay's Campbell. 490 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: I believe he's got eleven now in the Yearbuck, He's 491 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: been outstanding. But look this The story of this game 492 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: was without question was was the fight between J Green 493 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey, Oh, without question, because it speaks volumes 494 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: about how the Jacksonville Jaguars are changing their mentality when 495 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: it comes to playing defense, coming to play football. Really 496 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: they are a physical team. They led the alpha dogs 497 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: on defense, hunt and act as themselves. They take it 498 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: to the line, and today got a little chippy, got 499 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: a little feisty because all the is you won't find 500 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: a more physical corner than Jalen rams in terms of 501 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: the way he likes to put his hands on people, 502 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: the way he's willing to maul them. Choked him out 503 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: on the outside. He was engaged in a very competitive 504 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: contest with a J. Green had held a J. Green 505 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: to only one catch for six yards. De frustration got 506 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: the better a J. Green and that is why he 507 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: lashed out. But the Jaguars had the ability to do 508 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: that to everybody because they can run it down your throat. 509 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: They're playing great defense with their d line, who really 510 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: has keyed their number one sack assault. And then they 511 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: got the quarterback playing a little better than we anticipated 512 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: in terms of just taking care of the ball. And 513 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: he's playing a little bit better. Uh, definitely give Blake 514 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: Bortles some credit here, he's he's he has been better. 515 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: But to me, this game was just about the physicality. 516 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: And Jacksonville runs for a buck forty nine, they hold 517 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: since yards rushing. That was kind of just exemplified the 518 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: difference in these two teams. Just Jacksonville all that talk 519 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: about out the long training camp practices and maybe they 520 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: will wear these guys down. I don't know. Maybe we'll 521 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: see an effect of that at the end of the season, 522 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: but right now, this is a team that looks like 523 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: they've had physical practices and they're playing that way even 524 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: without Leonard four Nett and kind of a bizarre suspension 525 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: for him missing a couple It sounds like what a 526 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: treatment of meeting and and something else. So he didn't 527 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: play and he still go out there and push around 528 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals for a big win. Yeah, it's tough, 529 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: but I think that is a good message that the 530 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonvie Jaguarson when they didn't allow Leonard for Nett to play. 531 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: If you can sit down arguely your best player and 532 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: tell him I'm sitting you down because you didn't comply 533 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: with team rules. I think the rest of the team 534 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: gets that message. I applaud them for handling that way 535 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: because it certainly didn't affect the way that they played. 536 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: In fact, I think they may clean more confidence from 537 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: winning without Fortnite on the field. Different look for yeah, no, 538 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: no question, All right, Buck, you gotta go back to 539 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: back with US eight and nine. Here what we've got 540 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: number eight. The Seahawks aren't what they used to be. 541 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: One play left, we'll set of the shotgun. Rutskins have 542 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: three players inside the five yard line. Karragain on the 543 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: rush and will see the voids up. He's gonna throw 544 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: it up for grabs looking for the end zone. Bothers 545 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: up and it is profit. Its incomplete. Rutskins win seventeen 546 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: fourteen and a great comeback here tonight and Seattle. You know, DJ, 547 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: when I saw this game, I was shocked. There used 548 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: to be a time when the Seattle Seahawks were playing 549 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: at home. No one ventured up to the Pacific Northwest 550 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: and came out with the wind. Now you're seeing teams 551 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: have that kind of success to Washington Redskins being able 552 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: to do it in the fashion and the man in 553 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: which they did. Never would you expect the team to 554 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: be able to drive the ball to left the field 555 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: against that defense, that defense that we revered for so long. Yeah, 556 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: they're not what they used to be, and I think 557 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: part of this stems from they've lost their identity on offense. 558 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: As as much as I love their development and the 559 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: way that Russell Wilson has progressed, they have lost the 560 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: fact that they were at their best when they ran 561 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: the football and they were able to run it. They 562 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: ran it today, but they didn't run necessarily. Will Thomas 563 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: Rowles had thirty nine rush yards, Russell Wilson had seventy 564 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: seven rush yards, and there in lines the problem. Their 565 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: quarterback is their best rusher. It should be flipped. They 566 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: need to find someone who can be a feature back 567 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: in this offense to help mask some of the issues 568 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: that they have it on defense. Man, when I look 569 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: at this game, I was with you, Buck Washington. Missing 570 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: six starters in this game, including three offensive linemen. They're 571 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: gonna go on the road at Seattle and that environment 572 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: and somehow pull off a win three offensive line starters 573 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: not playing. They still gave up six sacks, but they 574 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: did a nice job. I think Cousins fumbled once. Other 575 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: than that, did a nice job protecting the football and 576 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: made some plays at the end when you had to um. 577 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: But this again Seattle couldn't put up enough points. Couldn't, couldn't, 578 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: couldn't get it done against the team playing with a 579 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: shell of their talent in terms of what Washington brought 580 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: up there to the Pacific Northwest. But it's not the 581 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: same team. This reminds me how I was growing. It's 582 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: been a lifelong Potre fan, as you know, sorry about 583 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers again, book Um Trevor Hoffman. I watched him 584 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: all grow seven unhittable, then as he got older, like 585 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: he's stilling like three. Then at the end it was 586 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: like he's sting like this. This Seattle team, they're not 587 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: throwing the same fastball that they threw a couple of 588 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: years ago. No, they're not. And I think their team 589 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: is going to have to change. I applauded them for 590 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: making a trade for Showdre Richson. He didn't play um today. 591 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: And they have to figure out their identity and really 592 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: stick to playing a style that really matches that up. 593 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: And I think right now their hodgepodge in terms of 594 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: what they're featuring offensively versus what they should be featuring 595 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: as part of their identity. All right, what's what's number 596 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: nine on the list. The Dallas Cowboys have rediscovered their 597 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: winning recipe. First and goal at the seven snapped the 598 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: Prescott rolling right throw to bas laid down to the 599 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: town touchdown. Two things like for the second time to 600 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: day touchdown for Prescott to play the game man. That 601 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: very impressive win for the Dallas Cowboys, coming against the 602 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: Kan City Chiefs, a team that we thought was maybe 603 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: the best team in the a f C. For the 604 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys to get this kind of win really shows 605 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: me that they understand the formula for them to win. 606 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: When I'm looking Zeke Elliott twenty seven carries ninety three yards, 607 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily the yards per carry production that you want, 608 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: but I like twenty seven attempts. Dak Prescott thirty three 609 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: pass attempts two forty nine yards, two touchdowns. Now you're 610 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: seeing almost a more balanced approach when it comes to 611 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: the run pass. If they can be fifty fifty and 612 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: half success in both avenues both aspects, it's going to 613 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: allow their defense to play downhill, meaning when they are 614 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity to play with the league. They can sit 615 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: back in that Tampa two and really allow their guys 616 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: to hunt. The Dallas Cowboys are very very tough team 617 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: to beat. Speaking of Hunt, they held Kareem Hunt to 618 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: thirty seven yards in this game. Um, you look at 619 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: what the Dallas defense did. Buck, you get a turnover 620 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: from Alex Smith. Finally he throws an interception. We've been 621 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: waiting for that to happen. He's been cleaned throughout the 622 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: entire year. You know, eventually had to turn over once here, 623 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: and he did in this game. Dallas got to him 624 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: a couple of times with some pressure, has got a 625 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: couple of sacks. So you limit their rushing attack, you 626 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback, you generate turnovers. That's how you 627 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: get it done. And uh, this Cowboy team. Look there 628 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: a couple of games or two games behind the Philadelphi Eagles. 629 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Goos have a couple of tough road games coming 630 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: in the second half that they think they've got. Gosh, 631 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: we have seven games left, I think four on the road. 632 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: So Dallas very much still in this thing. Yeah, they're 633 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: very much in this thing. And I think allow of 634 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: it depends on what happens with Zekiel Elliott. But even 635 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: without Zeke, I think they have a blueprint for how 636 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: to win. And for them to win games, they have 637 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: to run the ball, be committed to running the ball 638 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: when they pass it, spread it out empty formation. It 639 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: creates running lanes for Dak Prescott, makes it easy for 640 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: him to read the pre snap defense and disguise. And 641 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: then it's about making sure that the defense continues to 642 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: play on the stream. We've seen in recent weeks that 643 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: they have been on it. They've been on point. They 644 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: understand the simple game planning. They're beginning to look at 645 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: what people are doing to attack them, and the better 646 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: that they can get in at the tougher. They are 647 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: going to be the tougher they will be to defeat 648 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: when we get down to the playoff run, no question. 649 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get to the final one here, 650 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: Number ten on the ten takeaways. Let's go to the 651 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: Sunday night game. This was the Oakland Raiders and the 652 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. I still have no idea what to make 653 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: of either one of these teams. Kara gonna troll Bob 654 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: Deep for the post there for Johnny Holt. Creaiders that 655 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: Johnny Holting down the field, Derek car passing game, one touchdown, 656 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: one pick. I got a little bit of the ground 657 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: game on with with with Marshawn Lynch, couple touchdowns for him, 658 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: but still he had a bunch of drop passes, just 659 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: some uneven play from the Raiders, turnover, UH sack fumble 660 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. On the other side, Jay Cutler's stat 661 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: sheet looks a little bit better than I thought. Maybe 662 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,959 Speaker 1: he UH performing the second half of the game. Came 663 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: out on fire, but he ended up thirty four or 664 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: forty two for three eleven, three touchdowns, no picks, although 665 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 1: one of those touchdowns in UH in garbage time. But 666 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: it's just just a they're weird teams. But I don't 667 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: know how else to say that. I don't know what 668 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: you get from these teams from week to week. In 669 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: this game was was kind of like that. Yeah, I 670 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: think so. I think it is an up and down game. 671 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: Both teams have really struggled kind of finding their way. 672 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: I'll talk about a little bit about Miami. I think 673 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: Miami is closer to finding their identity because they have 674 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: the right pieces on the outside. They just haven't played 675 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: together long enough to figure out how to kind of 676 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: accentuate some of the things that their primary playmakers can do. 677 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: I do like what they were able to do with 678 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: the running game. I think They're running game is actually 679 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: better without without Jay a Gibe because Kenyan, Drake, Damians, 680 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: both of those guys are able to not only run it, 681 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: but they can catch it on the back field. Drake 682 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: in particular, it was a little different gay than a 683 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: little juice that they hadn't been getting when the Giant 684 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: been on the field. Yeah. No, I think that might 685 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: be a situation where that trade works out good for 686 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: j J. You going to Philly having a big game, 687 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: and as well as freeing up an opportunity for Drake 688 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: and for Williams. Drake definitely the one who who took 689 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: advantage of that nine carries sixty nine yards and including 690 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: a long one there forty two. So just weird, just 691 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: weird football teams. I don't know what we're gonna see 692 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: from them, both those teams coming down the stretch. Speaking 693 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: of coming down the stretch, Buck, you know, we we 694 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: we're halfway through here with with the season. We've got 695 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: this Sunday Night pod we've been doing, which I'm sure 696 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of people listening to on Monday. But I 697 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: just want to encourage you. Man. I know it's kind 698 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: of be a kind of a grind, but whatever we 699 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: gotta do. We just gotta keep the Titanic moving. Man. Yeah, 700 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: we just lost a great player. But nevertheless, you know 701 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: the Titanics deal that has to go. That's an all 702 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: timer from That's an all timer from Cam Newton, is 703 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: it not. I mean, it's unbelievable. I can't even pretend 704 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: to jump in his brain and figure out what he 705 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: was actually trying to say, but I will say that, um, 706 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: I think he does have to keep him moving. I 707 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: think the Panthers have to keep a movement. I think 708 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: today was a big step in the right direction. The 709 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: other playmakers that will have opportunities to touch the rock 710 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: because Kevin Minjerment had gone. He they need to make 711 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: those plays. If they make those plays, and that team 712 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,959 Speaker 1: will be more cohesive. The way their defense is playing, 713 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,479 Speaker 1: their defense certainly would give them an opportunity to be there. 714 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 1: Uh down the stretch, just needed offense to kind of 715 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: catch them, makeups and ground. I know we got that 716 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: though people went on where you got it from? Chris? 717 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: We can play it one more time just a second, 718 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: because if you listen to it, this is the exact 719 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: same thing that Greg Rosenthal says in the around the 720 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: NFL production meetings. Yeah, we just lost a great player, 721 00:34:53,640 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: but nevertheless, you know the Titanics there that has to go. 722 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: Oh I can I can do this all day? Buck? 723 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Alright, it's late. He wants to go 724 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: to bed. He's already, he's already taken off his headset. 725 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: I think he's left us. We got we got through 726 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: our tent.
