Speaker 1: Justin Out and discussed how he hopes to see this

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: offense build upon their performance in the fourth quarter of

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: verse the forty Niners this past Sunday. You can't simulate

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: um adversity of practice, so anytime you get it in

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: a game, you just want to see how those guys

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: respond and um, you know, the sideline with the coaches

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: and the players talking and keeping each other under wraps

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: and keeping everything calm and sticking together and it was

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: really cool to see that come to life. And it's

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen more often than not with this this league,

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, comes down to the last two minutes of

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: the first half and the second half, so it's you know,

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: you gotta stick together, and I was proud of those guys.

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: The Reader's red zone defense has struggled so far this season.

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: Today we heard from head coach Nathaniel Hackett and he

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: commented on what that might mean for the offense this Sunday. Yeah,

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, I every single time you look at it,

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you're ever as good as

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: you think you are. You're never as bad as you

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: think you are. You know, I think that the Raiders

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: are very good football team. I think they have a

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: really good scheme down in the red zone. Um, I

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: think that, you know, sometimes just things happen, they don't click,

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: whether it be stopping him or getting in the end zone.

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: So um, for us, we just want to do what

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: is best for this game and we want to be

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: sure we get the matchups that we can and be

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: able to get the ball in the end zone. But

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I think both both groups, I think we're better than

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: we are. I think they're better than they are. Think

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: both really two good teams. Denver's defense has dominated so

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: far this season, especially in the second half of their games.

45
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: They've only allowed six points so far. In defensive coordinator

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: Igero Everro explains why the defense that might be having

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: more success in the second half. Yeah, I just think, um,

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: a lot of it is just a players or in coaches.

49
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: We get a field for how people are going to

50
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: attack us throughout the game, and we make the adjustments

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the players. You know, a lot of people always talk

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: about coaches adjustments, but it's just as important for the

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: players to understand what's happening, make the adjustments, and you know,

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: I just give a lot of credit to the guys

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: that we have. And Special teams coordinator Dwayne Stokes was

56
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: really impressed with his unit's performance on a Sunday. He

57
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: wants to see them build upon that verse raders and

58
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. I mean, this is

59
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: the first time that I felt like we were playing

60
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Broncos style football. Right We're trying to still build a

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: culture standard around here. Tackling a guy inside of fifteen

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: yard line twice in a game that that that's where

63
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: we want to be. But again, like I told those

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: guys in a meeting, that wasn't our super Bowl right there.

65
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: We can't celebrate. We gotta consistently do that for the

66
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: next fourteen weeks. So yes, I was happy with that game,

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: but now we've got to show that we can do

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: it again. And as we wrap up the top news

69
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: of the day, let's take a look at the injury report.

70
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Coachucket updated us on a few guys. Wide receiver Tyree Cleveland,

71
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Jonathan Cooper, defensive tackle DJ Jones, cornerback Darius Phillips,

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: and offensive lineman Billy Turner all did not participate in

73
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: today's practice, while running back Melvin Gordon, outside linebacker Randy Gregory,

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Queen Miners, defensive lineman Mike Purcell, guard Dalton Reisner,

75
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: and a safety Cadence Sterns were limited. Now, let's welcome

76
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: Eddie Pascal from Silver and Black Productions onto the show

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: to take a look at this matchup from the Raiders perspective. Eddie,

78
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining me today. Abstually, thank you for having me.

79
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: It's it's nice too. I know that we have to

80
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: be you know, enemies on paper this week. But it's

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: always good to see Broncos folks. And you gotta tell

82
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Phil and Eric, I say, what's up to Oh, of course, Yeah,

83
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: Well we love our friends over there in Vegas, Eddie.

84
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: The team hits the road now in just two days.

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: How are things going down? How are things going on

86
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: down there in Vegas? Yeah, I mean things are good.

87
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that obviously there's a sense of just wanting

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: to get that first w right. I mean, the Raiders

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: are sitting at ohen three going into Week four, a

90
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: game against the Denver Broncos, a game that I'm really

91
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: excited for. I think it's gonna be incredibly competitive, uh,

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, in all three aspects of the game. But

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: I think there's really the sense of like, hey, let's

94
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: just get one. Let's get the first debu out of

95
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: the way, let's play a full sixty minutes of football.

96
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: But we heard from Derek car earlier this week and

97
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: he said, you know, look, the guys came in. Uh,

98
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: the adjustments that they needed to be made were made.

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: He was really happy with the with the mindset of

100
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: the team, with the attitude of the team, with the

101
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: commitment of guys and their willingness to want to get

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: better going into week four. So, yeah, we haven't notched

103
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: that first win of the season yet, but I think

104
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: that all things considered, I think there's an air of

105
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: optimism and air of positivity going into this game for sure. Yeah,

106
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned you guys are oh in three to start

107
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: this season here, but I know each of those losses

108
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: they were really close games. Do you feel like this

109
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: team is better than maybe that record indicates? Yeah, I

110
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: mean I think so. It's hard to tell, right because

111
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know as well as I do.

112
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Insert sports cliche here, but it's you know, you are

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: what your record says you are at some point. And

114
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: so the Raiders haven't done enough as of today to

115
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: win one of those three games. And now have they

116
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: played really competitive football for stretches of those three games. Absolutely.

117
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: I mean you look at the second half against the Chargers,

118
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: you look at the first half against the Cardinals, and

119
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: then you look at the second half last week against

120
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: the Titans, and they played really good football, quality football

121
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: in all three phases. But the issue in the early

122
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: goings for the Raiders is they haven't been able to

123
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: do it for sixty minutes. Yet they've been able to

124
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: do it for thirty no issues there, but really kind

125
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: of doing it for four quarters has been something that's

126
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of eluded them as of now. But I

127
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: think you look at on paper and I know that

128
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: you don't win games on paper. This is a super

129
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: talented team right on both sides of the football and

130
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: then with the specialists as well. So is it a

131
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: good team? Yeah? I think this is a still a

132
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: good team that they just have to put it together

133
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: for four quarters. Eddie, I read that the team HOWLD

134
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: reportedly hold a players only meeting this week. What's kind

135
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: of been the vibe down there in the locker room?

136
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: How what's the mindset? You know? Derek brought up the

137
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: the you quote unquote players only meeting the other day

138
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: and he said, look, it's you know, it's not it's

139
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: something that you know, the headlines say player players only,

140
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: and you know, just like I did, that that has

141
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: a certain connotation to it, right, But he said, really

142
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: it was just a chance for all the team leaders

143
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: to get together and to really talk to the collective

144
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: about what we needed, what they needed to do going

145
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: for And he goes and I think he said it perfectly.

146
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: He goes, look, we all understood, and we all you know,

147
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: there was a collective understanding that we're all going in

148
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the right direction. Everyone's pulling in the right direction. It's

149
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: not like you have one group of people or one

150
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: side of the ball that is just not kind of there.

151
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: He goes, we just had to figure out how to

152
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: be more effective doing that. And I think that's that

153
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: kind of comes with the comes with the you know,

154
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: the ground when you have a new uh, you have

155
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: a new front office, you have new coaching staff. There's

156
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: a lot of new for the Silver and Black in two. So, uh,

157
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, one thing that we've learned from Derek, you know,

158
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: during his tenure is the quarterback here is like he's

159
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna give it to you straight right,

160
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna be incredibly honest. And the fact that he says, look,

161
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: I he kind of made fun. He's like, look, I

162
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: I know we know what it means when people say

163
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: players only, but I don't think that when he talked

164
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: about it, Hannah had that connotation going forward. So I

165
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: think that the fact that guys came in earlier this

166
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: week made their justment. Center Radio Rock I think if

167
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the Raiders, that's that's music to

168
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: your ears. Definitely. Yeah, we're looking at this game. I

169
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: think the matchup to watch is undoubtedly going to be

170
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and Pats or Tan. I mean, Pat's coming

171
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: off an incredible game verse forty niners. He didn't allow

172
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: a single reception I think on six targets. And I

173
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: know Davantae Adams here he has three touchdowns this season, Eddie,

174
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: what do you really like about that matchup? Man? I

175
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: think it was just as a football fan, it's gonna

176
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: be really exciting. I mean we were since we were

177
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: in the early window last week, we got to catch

178
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, most of the game, you know, really the

179
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: second half on of that Sunday nik and that you

180
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: all played in. And yeah, I mean Patrick Tam is

181
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: one of those dudes that like you're like, oh wow,

182
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: like this this guy's like a player. Yeah, he's a

183
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: real deal. And so I think that seeing him going

184
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: up against Davante and DeVante, you know, depending on who

185
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: you asked, is either the best, so the second best

186
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: or third best wide receiver in the NFL. I think

187
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm excited to

188
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: see kind of how he gets involved, you know, speaking

189
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: about Davante in the offense for for full four quarters

190
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it'll be an incredible matchup to watch.

191
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: And I think if you're just a fan of football,

192
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: make sure you're locked in with us on Sunday afternoon,

193
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be a blast to watch for four quarters,

194
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 1: no doubt, Eddie. Looking at the offense as a whole,

195
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: what have you really liked about, you know, Derek Carr

196
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: in this offensive performance that you really want to see

197
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: them build upon this weekend as they're going up against

198
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: a done for defense that has been pretty dominant so

199
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: far this season. Yeah, I mean, I think just off

200
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the top. I mean, you talk about that Denver defense

201
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: that is a legit, no nonsense, you know to you know,

202
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: look at the stats, that's the top three defense in

203
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, So I think Derek and company are

204
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: certainly going to have their work cut out for him

205
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: this weekend. But you know, one thing from my point

206
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: of view that I've really liked in the early goings

207
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: is I think the Raiders have done a really good

208
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: job of running the ball when they've had the opportunity, right,

209
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: I think that's the big cavea out there when they've

210
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to do so. I think through three games,

211
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs had a really nice start to two, but

212
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: unfortunately they just haven't been able to commit to the

213
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: run game like I think a lot of fans would

214
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: like to see them to see them do. And you

215
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: know that's just because of kind of game situations if

216
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: either falling down or trying to secure lead, things like that,

217
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: and so um, I've been really you know, really positive

218
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: on how they run the ball, and so much has

219
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: been made about the offensive line combinations that Josh McDaniels

220
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: has thrown out there, and I think where it's at

221
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: seven combinations right now. But I mean give the big

222
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: fellows up from credit because it it really hasn't seemed

223
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: to matter who's up there. They've done a really good

224
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: job given Derek time to operate run, you know, creating

225
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: those running lanes for Josh and the rest of the back.

226
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: So I think that when you look at what this

227
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: offense has done, well, I think, like I said, when

228
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: they've had the chance, I think they've controlled the line

229
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and they've run the ball really well. And

230
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: I think, you know, giving Derek time to rock and

231
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: to you know, give him time to find Davante's is

232
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: also been a really nice positive for them to Looking

233
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: at the defense. You know, we all know the Wraiters

234
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: have a lethal pass rush with Max Crosby, you know,

235
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, What have you seen from those guys over

236
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks and how do you to

237
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: see them build upon these performances as they're going up

238
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: against this Denver offense that's you know, still working through

239
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: some things. Yeah, I mean, I think you said it

240
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: perfectly with with many starting with Max. I mean, Max

241
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: has had a fantastic start to two. You know, you

242
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: know I talked about the insert the sports cliche here,

243
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: but I mean I think Max is another guy's got

244
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: the high motor dude too, never quit, doesn't take a playoff,

245
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: is constantly pressure in the quarterback. I mean, he is

246
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: very much we talked about Pats or Tanby in the

247
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: real deal. I think Max Crosby is very much the

248
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: real deal in terms of ed dressers in the NFL.

249
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: So Max has had a phenomenal start to two, and

250
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: I think Chandler Jones I think if you're a fan

251
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: of the Raiders, you've been kind of waiting for him

252
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: to to kind of really do his thing in a

253
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: pretty substantive way, and he's had moments, right. But I

254
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: think that once we can get Chandler firing on all

255
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: cylinders and you've got Max on the other edge, I

256
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: think this defense has the chance to do some really

257
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: exciting things, especially on the defensive front. Well, a lot

258
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: to watch for this weekend as the Broncos head to
