1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks DJ. Bucky

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: back with you. Buck, How are you doing, my friend?

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: I am good. DJ. You know what it is. Uh,

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: we're getting to it. I mean we're second podcast in

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of exciting looking forward to the weekend,

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: more preseason games, what decisions being made about players, so

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: it should be fail here we go. When we're off

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: and running. Man. Uh, if you missed yesterday's pot, courage

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: you to go back check it out. We talked a

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: lot about the quarterbacks, the young quarterbacks and rookie quarterbacks,

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: what we've seen from them. UM talked also about a

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: position battle we think might already be decided. So if

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you missed that one, uh, circle back and check that

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: one out. I think you'll enjoy it. On today's show,

16
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: we're going to hit on kind of evaluating quarterbacks, what

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: you look for and what you can get out of that.

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about justin Fields, what we've seen from him,

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: and if we should be optimistic or pessimistic about the

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Bears in his future. But before we do that, Buck,

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: you recently wrote about the top five most talented teams

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: in the league, and I thought we could kind of

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: go one by one on these teams. I'm sure the

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: listeners are gonna give you some hefty pushback on some

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: of these um but I thought it'd be fun to

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of jump into that. Why don't we start at

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: number five? Number five? I think I put the Cleveland

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: Browns down there at number five. And the reason why

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: DJ I honestly believe with it. Without Deshaun Wasson, this

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: roster is good enough to be a playoff contender with him.

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: It goes to maybe you can talk about Super Bowl

32
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: contention because of the quarterback position. But as you're evaluating

33
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the roster, the number one thing that I jump into

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: is like, let's look at the trenches. You gotta be

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: able to be trench warriors. Their offensive line is one

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: of the best in football, if not the best. And

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: then on the defensive line you have Jadeveon Clowney going

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: with Miles Garrett. You can get after the pass and

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: you can stop to run off the edges. You can

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: do that. Secondary. Denzil Award is nice j ok at linebacker,

41
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: is that defensive playmaker that all elite defenses must have.

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: And then when I look at the backfield on offense,

43
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: Nick Chuck Kareem Hunt being able to kind of cram

44
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: it down the throat and the run game. They're just

45
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: a very talented team. They put it together. And if

46
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback Deshaun Watson is able to play, but then

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: he's the chairy on top of the Sunday because he

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: gives him an elite quarterback to kind of lead this team,

49
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: and so they can go all right, here's my job here.

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna represent all the haters, all all of the

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: people that you're gonna get grief from on social media.

52
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna represen no no grief, no grief. Yet everyone

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: is like thee okay, all right, well I'm gonna represent.

54
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: I'll just represent myself here. Let me get let me

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: give you the devil's advocate here on the other side

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: of the thing. Alright. So the Browns already out there center,

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: right center, Nick Harris done. So that's a big one.

58
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: We talked about the trenches and where they are there.

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: So that one, that one's a tough one. Um, you

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: look at the quarterback, who it's a wild card man.

61
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: He might not play a game this year. We don't

62
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: know what you know, who knows by the time we're

63
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: recording this that maybe that's been decided. But um, we

64
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: don't know how long Deshaun Watson is gonna play. The

65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson is going to miss games, playing playing simple,

66
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: He's going to miss games. So there's that side of it.

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: We go over to the man you talked about, Jadeveon Clowning.

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna count on him for seventeen you think you're

69
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: gonna see him seventeen weeks and the chance may not

70
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: see him for seventeen, but the seventh the games that

71
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: he's available, he certainly dynamic. We saw last year he

72
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: had a pretty good year for him, and he's playing

73
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: opposite Miles Garrett. Myles Garrett is gonna make the game

74
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: easy for him because Myles Garrett is the number one

75
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Daman clanning cleaning up on the back side. All right, Well,

76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of my pushback there, and then outside of

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, Amari Cooper kind of comes over. He's been

78
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: known to miss some time as well, So you've got

79
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: to worry about that. They have They have question marks

80
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: at wide receiver without a question, without a doubt, but

81
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: they're so good at the other areas. When you look

82
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: at the team, what would be the big hole on

83
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the team minus the quarterback situation, the big hole is

84
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: just war received everything else, everything else is rocks out.

85
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: So that's why they deserved m Okay, all that's as

86
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: much as I'm gonna push back there. Let's get to

87
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: number four on the list, and you've got the Green

88
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Why lord man, the Green Bay Packers got

89
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: in there because the bill is always yeah, so I

90
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: put them up there for But everyone thinks that just

91
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: because this team loses Davante Adams and they're gonna fall apart.

92
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: And I would tell you when you look at this team,

93
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: the strength of the team is actually the defense. When

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: you look at the number of former first rounds that

95
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: they have on the defense, this is a problem. They're talented,

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: they can play a bunch of different ways. Joe Berry

97
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: has done a really good job of cleaning up and

98
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: streamline and how they played in the back end, and

99
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: so they're best players. Just get hunting and get it done.

100
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: On offense, you have a four time MVP and quarterback

101
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. You have talented UH players at the

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: front line. So the offensive line, the quarterback is good

103
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: at the running backs are solid, but it's the defense

104
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: that really puts them on this list because this defense,

105
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: I would expect they played to the presensative, should be

106
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: a top five defense. Yeah. I love this front seven.

107
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: You know, the mix of players they have, the celticism

108
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: and the explosives they have collected there. They've got depth. Um,

109
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: So I think that's a big part of what we're

110
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: talking talented teams. We're not just talking frontline. Guys were saying,

111
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: you know what type of depth that they have them.

112
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they they've done a really good job. And

113
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: we talked about being able to pick their players form.

114
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: When you're gonna pick a packer, they're gonna be long, athletic. Uh,

115
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna look the part. And that's why it was

116
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: a surprise that quay Walker came on the board because

117
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: he knew he was gonna be in the mix. He

118
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: fits and so, um yeah, they're very talented. Yeah, it's

119
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: up on the up on the quarterback to get the

120
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: offense right because he's gonna have to elevate the play

121
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: of the guys around him. You're still good enough to

122
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: be a team that we talked about in the NFC

123
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: Title game. Health injuries up front, offensive line. I think

124
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: you know what will decide how far did they go.

125
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: That that's the thing. If they can get those guys

126
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: in there and keep them in there. Um, it's a

127
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: roster that doesn't have many holes. So and we've seen

128
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: the emergence some of these young white outs is going

129
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: to help offset what you lost there with the bante Ada.

130
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: So I know, not much pushback for me on number four.

131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Let's get to number three. The star studded Rams here

132
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: started a RAM there. They're trying to do it differently. DJ.

133
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Like we've talked about in the scouting business, are a

134
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: couple of different ways that you can build your team.

135
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: You can build your team where you have a bunch

136
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: of good players, or you can go with, hey, we

137
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: can go with a few great players and then we

138
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: will fill in with some nice role players. That's what

139
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: the Rams have done and they just hosted the Lombardi

140
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Trophy doing that. So now they're all the way in

141
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: on this. When you look at their frontline guys, their nucleus,

142
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: you can make the conversation that you can make the

143
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: case that those guys are gonna be gold jacket guys.

144
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, Matthew Stafford Cooper. I mean,

145
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: those guys are that good, and then you surrounded them

146
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: with really good role players that they've developed, Guys that

147
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: understand exactly where they fit a very talented team. Some

148
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: would say it's a little top heavy, but if your

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: top is what their top is, it doesn't matter what

150
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: those other guys are that's around it. Yeah, I would

151
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: just say there they're more, um, they're more in danger

152
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: of one injury derail in the whole. Yeah. So they

153
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: have they have that nucleus of superstars. They've got to

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: keep those dudes healthy and on the field. So if

155
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: they can do that, keep those five guys, five six

156
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: guys healthy, the rest of their team. And it's not

157
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: like it's not like they have five stars and then

158
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of f players. They've got a they've got

159
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: a good mix of bes and cs like to go

160
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: around those five stars. So I mean that's not so

161
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: much a big deal about the you know, the level

162
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: of drop off with those other guys, but they just

163
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: got to keep those core five six guys healthy. They

164
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: don't want to lose one of them. No, you don't

165
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: want to lose one of them. But this is a

166
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: team that as their stars go. So there's the team.

167
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Some of the other teams can get contributions from other

168
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: guys and and kind of overcome a start and not

169
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: playing well. The Rams have to have their stories played

170
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: well in big games within the win because they don't

171
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: have enough depth to overcome a loss. Yeah, and Stafford,

172
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: you know the armed thing. People can read into that

173
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: whatever they want. I just know anytime a picture or

174
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: quarterback has any type of an arm issue, elbow issue,

175
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: that not that that worries me. So that's the one

176
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: thing to keep an eye on there with them. I

177
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: think number two on the list might surprise most people.

178
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Buck here with the Saints. Yeah, who that nation should

179
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: be excited to stand up because this team, this team

180
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: might go marching in when you look at it. Defensively,

181
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: they are loaded, uh cam joined at the front line,

182
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore. Uha, Mario Davis, you know, didn't you bring

183
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: honey Badger in to kind of top it off. Defensively,

184
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: they have it and they don't play with any fear,

185
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to their arrival to Tama Bay Buccaneers.

186
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: This is a team that knows that they can win

187
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: it and expects to win at a high level. They're good,

188
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: but offensively is where I think the upgrade comes. The

189
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: upgrade comes in the return of Michael Thomas, the addition

190
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: of Jarvis Landry incors lobby. Offensively. Now, this wide receiver

191
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: cord that they have has the firepower that lighted up

192
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: And if Jamie Jamie Wentz and avoids the turnovers and

193
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: just make sure that the ball goes to someone who's

194
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: wearing black, a black jersey, they're be good because this team,

195
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: this team has a lot of firefarers. They're a very

196
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: very dangerous and explosive team. All Right. Here's my pushback here,

197
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: and I think that it's a it's a talented group

198
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: that it definitely belongs in this conversation. My pushback would be,

199
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: if you want player for player, position by position. I

200
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: know that they've beaten Tampa a bunch in the regular season,

201
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Tampa's beat them in the postseason, but they have had

202
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: Tampa's number. But if you if you just went player

203
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: for player, I know Tampa had an injury its center um,

204
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: but if you want player for player all the way

205
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: down the list. It's Tampa, not come out ahead there

206
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: over over them. I mean maybe. I mean that's my pushback.

207
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: That's my pushback. If I'm a Bucks fan and I'm

208
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: sitting here going to hold up I I've got Vita Vea,

209
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: I've got Devin White, Lavonte, David Shack Barrett, I've got

210
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield. I mean, I've got I've got some some

211
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: dudes now and we have won a super Bowl recently,

212
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: and I've got Tom Brady versus Jameis Winston. And if

213
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: you want to know what the difference between those two guys,

214
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: we used to have the other guy and now we

215
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: have this guy. And you can see how much of

216
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: a gap there is between those two. Yeah, I mean

217
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: there's a gap. And I think it is like debatable.

218
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: The thing about the Saints that I think maybe intrigues

219
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: me is not just the individual collection of talent. It's

220
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: just how will the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

221
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: And I think when you just look at the way

222
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: the pieces of the puzzle fit, uh, particularly when we

223
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: talked about that why receiver corps man, I just think

224
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: they can be a handful. It would be problematic for

225
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Yeah, and I think I'm sure

226
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: you factored in you've got the Chris Godwin coming off

227
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: of injury. But I mean, I think when you get

228
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, he's full go. Chris Godwin comes back healthy

229
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: and he's full go. And I'm wherever you're gonna get

230
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: out of Julio, you're gonna get out of him. But

231
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, you still got some tight ends that they

232
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: like there and a trigger man and Tom Brady who's

233
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: taking a little bit of a break right now. But

234
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: I think that's that. I think that's a good discussion.

235
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: And then you said you've got no negative feedback. My

236
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: job right now is to get Tampa Bay Buck fans

237
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: to flood your mention so that you can get some

238
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: and then they're not rowled up. They're not even they're

239
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: not even thinking about it. They don't worry about that

240
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: because I think I think you know, the thing is

241
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady comes back. I don't know if they're as

242
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: talented as a team that was the Super Bowl team.

243
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's talented team they had last year.

244
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see they're a good team. I don't know

245
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: if they deserved to be in the top five. I

246
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: think I think the fear factor of TV twelve has

247
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: us all talking about them, like all right, I'm just

248
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: pushing back. Let's get the number one on the list.

249
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: If you sucked up to the bill putting the Packers

250
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: in it for maybe you're doing the same with me

251
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: here because you got the Bolts art number one on

252
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: the list. This is all you, This is all you

253
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: and money, like all in all in my mentions, like

254
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: just in my ear the whole time when we go

255
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: down to training camp. But now DJ when I saw

256
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: him up close and personal, this is a very talented team.

257
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: And then when you talk to time to LESCo and

258
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: he talked about the way that you build the team

259
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: got to have multiple pass rushes. He talked about even

260
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: having three pass rushes, being able to have enough weapons

261
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: around the quarterbacks of the quarterback can do what he

262
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: wants to do from the pocket. And I think about

263
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: Mike Williams being your number two, which is crazy to

264
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: think when the average is like over almost sixteen yards

265
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: per catch force career and Keenan Allen being get open specialists.

266
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Um I this team has it all. Rishon Slater being

267
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: able to come over is immediately already been an All

268
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Star caliber player on the edge. I mean, it's everything.

269
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: It's everything that you want every level. Um. We talked

270
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: about being able to have a Blue Chift player at

271
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: least one at every level, the Charges at one at

272
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: every level on both sides of the ball. It's uncommon

273
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: to find a team that has that kind of high

274
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: end UH, depth and talent. The Charges have it, which

275
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: is why they say the top of the list. Yeah.

276
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: I think you know, if you're looking at most talented teams,

277
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: and we talked about maybe the difference with them in

278
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: the Rams and keep keeping my Rams just won the

279
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We just you know, just did that preseason game.

280
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: Neither one of them played their starters. Um. But if

281
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: you look at it and those two teams, you can say, Okay,

282
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: the Rams, we talk about their stars, the leading actors.

283
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers supporting actors. Uh, I would give

284
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: them the nod. So when I'm looking at guys like,

285
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: what's an example of a supporting actor, I would say,

286
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Palmer, somebody like that, who I think

287
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: is a really good player is gonna take the next step.

288
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: Matt Feiler, I think is one of the most underrated

289
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: players in the league. He is a heamoth that guards

290
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: a really really good football player. Um, now you're gonna

291
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: add Isaiah Spiller I think is gonna emerge. Is that

292
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: second running back. You add in guys like Morgan Fox

293
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: Sebastian Joseph. They both former Rams at Staley's coach who

294
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: are good just good phil players, good supporting actors. Um

295
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: Asante Samuel Jr. Is gonna be one of those. Like

296
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: they've got the stars and they gotta get Derwin James

297
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: out there. But when you talk about Bossa and Mac

298
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: and Derwin James, and you mentioned those wide outs, obviously

299
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: the superstar quarterback got a big time left tackle. Those

300
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: are the leading actors. I just think they're supporting role guys.

301
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: I think are some of the gott a chance to

302
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: be some of the best in the league. Yeah, they

303
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: do have, um the potential to grow. And I like

304
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: the age factor because I think the difference between the

305
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Rams. The Rams A level players are older,

306
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: whereas the Charges guys I would say, are entering their prime,

307
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: primarily entering or right in the middle. I think the

308
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: Rams guys are kind of at the end of their

309
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: prime when we're projecting out, and so that give us

310
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: the Charges an opportunity to be one of the more

311
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: talented teams for a long time. And so as we're

312
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: looking at this team and we're looking at teams around

313
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: the league, I just expect there will be a viable

314
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: contended for the foresitable future. Um. Alright, we're gonna take

315
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back and we're gonna talk

316
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: about how in the world do you evaluate quarterbacks and

317
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: a watered down preseason. We'll do that next al right, Buck,

318
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, this is something we talk a lot about.

319
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: We've spent a whole podcast yesterday talking about the quarterback position,

320
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: how these young guys are playing. UM and you know,

321
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: how we evaluate that. I think it's it's tricky in

322
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: the preseason. And I want to use as an example

323
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: here justin fields. You know, what we've seen from him

324
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: thus far, just one preseason game, but the early returns

325
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: on what we've seen from him and what and you

326
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: learn when you're watching a quarterback in the preseason. Yeah,

327
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. Uh treat the preseason much like

328
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I would treat um going on the road, looking at

329
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback live. What I want to see from the

330
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in the preseason? Number one thing I want to

331
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: do is does he look comfortable in his environment? Meaning?

332
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: Does the game look too big for him? At the

333
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: pro level. It's one thing to look at the college player.

334
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Uh the college players normally three or four years in

335
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: the game should be slow motion for him. But now

336
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: that he takes a big step up to the preseason,

337
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: different environment, different players. Sometimes you're not giving the best

338
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: line up to play with. How do you handle that?

339
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: So one, does he look frazzled? Does he look out

340
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: of sorts too? Does the talent show up? Does he

341
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: look like a pro? Meaning when you see him throw

342
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: the ball, when you see him move around, does he

343
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: looked like the pros that start? Does he look out

344
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: of place? We talked about on the previous podcast, uh

345
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: size When we saw Johnny Manzel the first time in

346
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: the NFL uniform, You're like, oh, whoa, he's a lot

347
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: smaller than I thought. And the difference is it's one

348
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: thing to look at college guys and project. It's another

349
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: thing to look at pro guys and predict how they're

350
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna play. And so it's it's a different deal, and

351
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: then it's the normal stuff. Hey, let's see how the

352
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: ball comes out of the hand. Let's see if it

353
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: whizz is. Can they do those things just from a

354
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: tool standpoint? And then how do they play? Does the

355
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: team respond to this player in the game? Can you

356
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: move it with lesser parts in the preseason, because if

357
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: you can move it with lesser players, I know he's

358
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna be great with better players. And so how do

359
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: they compete is a final part of it. Man, preseason

360
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: games get ugly. You don't have everybody give you your

361
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: third team officive. Tackle is getting whooked, You're getting ear

362
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: hold playoff to play? Does he stand there and compete?

363
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: And as he find a way to just move the chains.

364
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all those things because I think they

365
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: all play a part in the evaluation when you're thinking

366
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: about whether someone can play in the league and eventually

367
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: compete at a high level in the league. Yeah, I

368
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: think there's there's two things. Uh. Number one, does this

369
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: player have the skill set to to succeed to be successful?

370
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: And we can see that. We can see, you know,

371
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: some of the poise. We can see the arm strength,

372
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: we can see the ability to move around extend, create

373
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: all those things, like is the skill set an NFL

374
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: skill set? And a guy like justin fields, you can

375
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: see that the other day. He's he's got that. Um,

376
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: he gives you, he gives you all those things. So

377
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: then we have to look at it and say, does

378
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: he have a chance with what's around him to be successful.

379
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: So he's got the skill set that will play, he's

380
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: got NFL starting quarterback tools. I don't think he has

381
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: a shot. I don't, not with this group, not with

382
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: this group around him. When I when I look at

383
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: some of the dudes they're playing with upfront, and I

384
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: you would say, like playing with that, he was playing

385
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: with starters, and these starters were getting whooped up front,

386
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: He got sacked, he got hit a bunch. I mean

387
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: two things. They better be able to run the heck

388
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: out of the ball, and he's gonna have to contribute

389
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: to that. He's gonna have to be a big part

390
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: of the run game with his legs. And it's not

391
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: because he can't throw. It's because I don't think they

392
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: can protect him. So he's gonna have to run. Um.

393
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: And then number two, they better not get behind in

394
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: games because if they get behind the games you're gonna see,

395
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: these seven eight nine sack type games. They they they're

396
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: not good up front. I don't want I don't have

397
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: to sugarcoat they don't. They're not good. Like, they don't

398
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 1: have enough dudes up there to protect him if they

399
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: get behind. And you're playing in a division where the

400
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Packers are gonna score points, the Minnesota Vikings with their

401
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: their weapons, they're gonna score points. I don't know, how

402
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: do how does this team come from behind? How are

403
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: they gonna be They can't block anybody, No, they can't

404
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: block him by So it's all smoke commerors, it's all deception,

405
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: it's all focus, focus, trickery. And what you're leaning on

406
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: is his natural talent to be able to mask a

407
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: lot of that. And I mean, we've talked about it.

408
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: We've talked about one of the reasons why we're proponent

409
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: of the system that they're playing is because it is

410
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: so quarterback friendly, but it's also office of line friendly,

411
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: it's also running back friendly and those things. But at

412
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you still have to have dudes.

413
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: And if you don't have dudes, and it just makes

414
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: for a very very long day. Any very long season. Yeah,

415
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's one thing. You know, hey, early

416
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: in the season, maybe you can run the ball and

417
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: then he can escape and create. It's just to me,

418
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: that is on a quarterback, when you get to week eight, ten,

419
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, twelve, like that is a grind. Man. Your

420
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: body starts to wear down and you're having to do

421
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: this Houdini act each and every every Sunday. That's that's

422
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to maintain. So I wouldn't be surprised.

423
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: He's he's so athletic and he's he's gifted. I could

424
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: see him kind of willing his way to the first

425
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: half of the season. For them being a competitive football team.

426
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they can keep that up for seventeen weeks.

427
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. Yeah, it'd be it'd be very,

428
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: very difficult and challenge. The division is its tough just

429
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: because of the past Rush Jet Engine Division and you

430
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: know it's it's a rebuilding project from the ground up,

431
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: and so how does he handle it? But we will

432
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: see a lot, We will find out a lot about

433
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: his football character and his mental makeup this year is

434
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: if you can handle this part of it when they

435
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 1: do finally surround him with talent, he could blossom, you know,

436
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: so a lot of it will be well, we'll see

437
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: how gritty and resilion he is now and that me

438
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: serving well later. Yeah, it's gonna be on Ryan Poles

439
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: and company to uh to really upgrade this group around

440
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: him going into the future. But I do think I

441
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: believe in his competitiveness, his toughness, um, the skill set,

442
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: all that stuff there you can work with. You can

443
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: work with justin fields. I just hope he doesn't get

444
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: scarred in the process because and I saw I don't.

445
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anybody out, but God, Lee

446
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: up front, there's some dudes that just should not be

447
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: starting in the National Football League right now. So it

448
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: is what it is. I wish them all the best.

449
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully they play way out of their minds. And we're

450
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: talking about how the Chicago Bears offensive line was the

451
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: biggest shocker in the entire league. I don't see it, man. Yeah,

452
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: the system, the system is going to have to do

453
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: everything for him. That's one of the reasons why they

454
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: wanted the Shanahan system because it does mask a lot

455
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: of your flaws, but your execution has to be flawless.

456
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: Had to mask some of the talent deficiencies that they

457
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: have upfront. The show flashes. Yeah, over over over a

458
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: season could be tough. Nope, So that's how you do it.

459
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: To evaluate young quarterbacks, you want to evaluate their skills.

460
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: How do their skills translate? But then you got to

461
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: evaluate the environment and account for that. Some guys find

462
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: themselves in better situations than others. It is what it is. Um,

463
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: all right, we had a kind of a quick pot today, Buck,

Speaker 1: to talk about. We'll get out of the projection business.

468
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: We can get back to the evaluation business of what

469
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: we've seen. Anything you want to throw in here before

470
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,400

00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: Kun play in the playoffs last year for the world

479
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: champion Atlanta Braves. I don't think he played any he didn't.

480
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,520

481
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,159
