18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: tell you boys, I was just thinking about this and

Speaker 1: Buck's done shows from London. Now I add me go

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: to the mix. We've done it from the Senior Bowl

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: in Alabama. We've done it from the Combine, Indianapolis. I know,

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: I did it from a hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. I mean, really,

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: we're taking this thing right now. Moved the stakes worldwide

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: coming to me. I love it. Uh, look, we've got

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: our tent takeaways loaded up. I did just see one

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: thing come across the news blast here just as we

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: fired up the intro music, and that was that. Matt

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: Naggy says, Uh, the injury for Mitchell Trabisky is a

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: right hip pointer, which occurred, as we've all kind of

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: pointed out now since going back and look at the

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: tape on a hit in the second quarter from Rams

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: defensive and Michael Brockers. So I know we're gonna get

33
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to uh, we're gonna get to the Rams takeaway here

34
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: shortly on their win on Sunday night. But just figured

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: i'd mentioned that to us as well. I guess, uh

36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Naggy might update a bit more. It's not talked about

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: the availability yet, but that was a weird situation. Yeah,

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: that was ugly, game boys. I was watching it, and

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm watching it here in Mexico City, and it's not

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: an English broadcast, so don't understand one thing that's being said.

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: But ugly football is an international language. That one. And

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: what did you get a chance to watch some some

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Mexican red zone? Is that? Hey, buck, buck, you'll love this.

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: So they show on the Mexican version of the red zone.

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Obviously it's a big soccer you know, culture down here.

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: So they show not not you know, I know, the

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: red zone. They bright, we show every touchdown, well, they

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: show every extra point, um, and the way the guy

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: calls these literally me and Money were watching it, and

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: it's like touchdown, Okay, that's kind of the big deal

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: we're used to. And the extra points is kind of

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. The extra point goes in and

53
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: I hear it's Steven. I mean it's like every extra

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: point like minitary making the winning taking suiting the super

55
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Bowl for the Patriots. I love it. I love it.

56
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: All Right, let's get fired up here with the tin

57
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: takeaways in DJ. You're gonna lead us off here with

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: the first one. Yeah, look, we're gonna we can. We're

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna get into Lamar Jackson. How great he played? Um,

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: but I don't know that we were all that surprise

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: based on how he's played this year. My first takeaway, Hello,

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens have a pass rush first in ten Texans.

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: All is at the Ravens forty five yard line watching

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: with time. Now he drifts to his right, he's cornered,

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: spins out of trouble, still scrambling, and finally sacked back

66
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: in the forty five yard line. Matt jude On track

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: him down the ball game Louise and the Ravens recovered

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: Jaylen's Furguson recovers the ball and the Ravens offense will

69
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: take over from there. Look, that was one of my

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: concerns to this football team. You know, offensively, they were

71
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: going to be exciting with Lamar Jackson. You know he's

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: obviously taking that next step in his development as a

73
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: passer and as a legitimate MVP candidate. UM, But when

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: you look at the off season, even though he was older,

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: you lose sugs who had had so many, you know,

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: big plays in big time pass rush performances for this team,

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: said Darius Smith. We've seen what he can do, um

78
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the way he's playing ball. So they had some key

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: losses and I don't know if they're gonna be able

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: to rush the pastor and quite Honestly, early in the

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: season they weren't rushing very well, and all of a sudden,

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: you pick your head up, they make the move to

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: go at the corner there and Marcus Peters get Jimmy

84
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Smith back. It's a great testament buck to when you

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: have the back end solidified, how it gives you a

86
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: little bit more time to get home. And here they

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: are seven sacks in this game, matt Judon to Bowser

88
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: to ten quarterback hits that looked like a you know,

89
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: a super Bowl caliber defense. The way they got after

90
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Absolutely, I agree with you. The defense has

91
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: look lights out, and actually I think it kind of

92
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: coincides with Marcus Peters coming over. I'm not saying that

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: he is the guy that kind of got it going,

94
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: but adding another piece to the defensive backfield enabled them

95
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: to play more man to man. They've been really aggressive,

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: in your face, tight sticky coverage, giving their pass rush

97
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: an extra second or two to be able to get

98
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: home because they're not giving quarterbacks the layups. But then

99
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: it's not just what they're doing in the back end,

100
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: man wink. Martin Dale is bringing pressure from everywhere. They're

101
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: coming at you from different angles they're blowing up your protections.

102
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: They're getting big hits on the quarterback, and I don't

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: believe his coincidence. And now that you're starting to get

104
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: tw hits on the quarterback, we're beginning to see the

105
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: turnovers and takeaways come from the Ravens defense well. And

106
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, guys, we talk about roster construction a lot

107
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: on this podcast, and I think the Ravens are always

108
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: an interesting case study in DJ. Certainly since you've spent

109
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: some time there, you have an idea of how it goes.

110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times when we talk

111
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: about pass rush, in elite pass rush, we tend to

112
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: think of the elite or the highly drafted players Matt

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: jude On fifth rounder in teen, Taias Bowser, second rounder

114
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: in seventeen, Jalen Ferguson third rounder this past year, and

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: they've taken a little bit of time to develop into

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: their own. This is this is clearly going to be

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: if Judan continues on this pace, his best season. This

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: is really the first we've start to see Tias Bowser

119
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: come along, and now Jalen Ferguson as a rookie. DJ,

120
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: give me a sense of what it's like in the

121
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: value it is to be able to generate a pass

122
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: rush from guys that you're drafting on Day two and

123
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: three as opposed to like those top ten Miles Garrett

124
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: type players, the Bradley Chubb type players. Well, here's the

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: here's the beautiful thing. You'll find some organizations UM where

126
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: they have you know, look look at the Steelers, what

127
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers have done with UM and they have a

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: comfort level in their evaluation process. They know what it

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: looks like, they know what it feels like, they know

130
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: what it smells like, and we we it's a great

131
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: advantage when you've scouted there because you go out to

132
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: the practice field every day and you see the traits

133
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: that matter, the traits that carry over what works in

134
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: the league because you see it every day at practice.

135
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: That's why it's hard. Buck. I'll get your thoughts on

136
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: this because I know you always reference I think a

137
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: conversation you had with Ossie at one point time, because

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 1: we always talked about production and college how it translates

139
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: to the next level. You see it with guys like

140
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, a bunch of these players around the league.

141
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: But when you are on a team that has elite

142
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: level players and you get to study them through training

143
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: camp and you're around them and you watch them. I

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: think it's like it's like you know they say with

145
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: counterfeit money, right, you don't go study all the fake

146
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: money to know what what a fraud looks like. You

147
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: study the real thing. Once you know what the real

148
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: money looks like, you can spot a fraud. Good point.

149
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: And that's what helps when you have those players, you know,

150
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: over decades they've been able to watch the defensive players

151
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: really at all three levels. It's funny that you brought

152
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: it up to a conversation with Ozzy because I was

153
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: writing in my notes, um the names that you reference,

154
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Matt Judon, Uh, Jalen Ferguson, when you go back and

155
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: you look at what those guys did as collegiate players,

156
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: they're both dominant pass rushers off the edge. They have

157
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: proven production. In fact, Ferguson broke two real suggs UH

158
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: career record when it came to the s FBS level

159
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: in terms of career sacks. Judan being a guy that

160
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: consistently got to the quarterback in Grand Valley State ruction

161
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: sack production over multiple years. That's what Ozzy um had

162
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: told me, and so then to DJ's point, he talks

163
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: about being able to look at it and see it. Well, yeah,

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: when you are in training camp every day and you

165
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: see uh A Sugs dominate year after year after year.

166
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: You had Elvis Doomerville there for Louis, You've had other

167
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: players that have been successful pass rushers there, When naturally

168
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: you begin to understand what it takes to be successful

169
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: in the league and you kind of model your evaluations

170
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: with those guys in mind. I think the Baltimore Ravens

171
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: just have uh A knack. They understand the sweep spot

172
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to evaluating pass rushers, which is why

173
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: they're able to find guys that can make it happen.

174
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: All right, Buck, you wanna get us to take away

175
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: number two? The Vikings weather the storm first and ten

176
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: from denverse thirty two. Cousins under center, play action bootlegs

177
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: out to the left, looking to the left, firing up.

178
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: It's one a fantastic blue let Paul and a tall

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: breakdown encomveraged by the Denver Broncos. You know, this is

180
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: a fascinating game to which the Denver Broncos played about

181
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: as as perfect as you can play Uh, a first half.

182
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: They had everything on their terms. Everything was going their way.

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: They were dominating the game. They were taking the fight

184
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings. You talked about being down twenty

185
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: to nothing. The thing that I loved about what I

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: saw from the Vikings they stuck to the script. When

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: we talk about weathering the storm. So many times we've

188
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: seen teams that are down twenty oh just completely abandoned

189
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: what the original game plan was. UH, come out throwing

190
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: it all over the yard, and they only find themselves

191
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: getting blown out. With the Vikings, they stayed true to

192
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: who they were. You noticed that Kirk Cousins had thirty

193
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: five pass attempts. That's about what they want to kind

194
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: of limit him too. They don't wanted to pitch count

195
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to get out out of whack, and they only random

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: all with Dalvin Cook eleven times. But they stayed with

197
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: the game plan. In terms of I saw a lot

198
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: of play action. I saw a lot of bootleg action.

199
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of the things that they normally

200
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: would do when they were up, they were doing when

201
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: they were down. Stefan Diggs had a big game, five

202
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: had a touch, big play. Uh, the explosive chunk plays

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: that you're always looking for our play action. They were

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: able to get those and to the d fence. His credit, man,

205
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: they bowed up. They did a great job in the

206
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: second have given them multiple opportunities to get back in

207
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the game. And when the offense is playing efficiently and

208
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: the defense is playing at a lightestyle level, the Vikings

209
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: are hard to talk in DJ. You know, when you're

210
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: watching a game like this that is such a tale

211
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: of two halves, like you either got to wonder, Okay,

212
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: did we go in at halftime and did we make

213
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: a certain adjustment? Did we try to Are we gonna

214
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: try to do something completely different here in the second

215
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: half or we just executing better? How did you feel

216
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: like that that one fell for the Vikings in the

217
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: second half. Well, I thought they were just crisp. When

218
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: you watch this Vikings offense in the second half, I

219
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: thought they were crisp. I thought Cousins was taking shots

220
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: when they were there. But Bucky, I think you hit

221
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: it here too. You're gonna have a big comeback like this.

222
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: We we get get carried away and go many. They

223
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: scored twenty seven points in the second half. Well, that

224
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they don't get stops and they were

225
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: able to limit them three points. I do want it

226
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: one quick takeaway. We keep the train moving here. But

227
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton man, uh he he's developing into a very

228
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: good receiver and um, you know, we kind of talked

229
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: about this the other day on the pod about receivers

230
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: outside a round one that are having success and finding success.

231
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: Another great example with how he's come along. And by

232
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the way, the Vikings become the first team over the

233
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: last five seasons to go down twenty or more points

234
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: at the half and come back and win in the second.

235
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Uh So, pretty pretty pretty impressive for a team that's

236
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: very much in the hunt as a contender in the

237
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: NFC in a very competitive conference. All Right, I'll get

238
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: us to take away number three. And that is kind

239
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: of similar to what Kirk Cousins did in the second half.

240
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott proving his worth. It's third down and seven

241
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: at the Lions seventeen. Snap his back, they blintz and

242
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: he flips it out right. Elliott picks it off the ground.

243
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Ten pet slip dances in. That's a touchdown and Eliot

244
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: comes up doing his impression of the press Scott hip

245
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: swivel warm up dance. Wow, it was good. That's good.

246
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: I really appreciated that, you know, and and I thought

247
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: it was, you know, some nice levity, uh for Zeke

248
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: on a day where yeah, he got into the end

249
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: zone twice, but again was limited in his production on

250
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the ground. Which brings me back to Dak, right. I

251
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: think we've had this take takes similar to this Bucky

252
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: maybe earlier in the season when they were three and

253
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: oh and and Doak was on fire, like Dad, let's

254
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: pay Dak right, let's get this done, and you understand why.

255
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: And I think we're back to that here at this

256
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: point in the season where the Cowboys have a combined

257
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: one and twenty five yards rushing as a team the

258
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: last two weeks combined total. That's what Zeke does on

259
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: a regular basis by himself in a single game. So

260
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: they have put the game on dak shoulders in the

261
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I get they lost last week to

262
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: a good opponent in the Minnesota Vikings, but I'm not

263
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: putting that loss on Doc by himself. Now. I am

264
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: putting this win on Doc going over four hundred yards

265
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: right now. He's got over a thousand yards since Week nine,

266
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: that's the most in a three game span in Dallas

267
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys franchise history. He's got more four hundred yard games

268
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: than any quarterback in the NFL this year. When they

269
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: have forced him to throw the ball, he's come up

270
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: in big spots. You know, this is this is funny

271
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: because we're seeing the evolution of the dallascout Boys offense.

272
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: This is a team that was known for being a

273
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: run first team to name the past first team with

274
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott playing the leading role. I'm just gonna read

275
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: all some numbers to you. This is Dad Prescott's last

276
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: sixteen games and the production that he has put up

277
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: over those sixteen sixty nine point three percent completion rate,

278
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: forty nine hundred and sixty eight passing yards, eight point

279
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: five yards per attempt, thirty seven touchdowns, that's thirty or

280
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: two passes, five rushing only, twelve interceptions, one oh four

281
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: point a passer rating, and an eleven and five records.

282
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: So when it comes down to doing that negotiation, man,

283
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I want to be Dad Prescott's a That's an easy

284
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: that's an easy sale for me to get my three.

285
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: And guys, I'm watching the way he played and I

286
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: watched this game yesterday, and while I'm watching the game, Um, Henry,

287
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: our buddy who helps run NFL International, we were talking

288
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: watching the games about you know, the potential expansion to

289
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, seventeen game schedule which has been kicked around.

290
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: And so I'm reading this start if I think was

291
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: by locking fora um and kind of detailing how this

292
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: whole revenue pie, how they're gonna be able to get

293
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: an extra wild card, they're gonna be able to get

294
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: an extra game with seventeen games. And I'm sitting here

295
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: and going, hold up, now, I'm watching d Doc just

296
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: just light up the Detroit Lions, and I'm sitting here.

297
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: If I'm Dak's agent right now, heck no, am I

298
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: signing anything. You're going to be patient, you want to want,

299
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: you want to grow this pie. I'll go ahead and

300
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: wait on that because I'm a good, a nice chunk

301
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: of that. I think in this case, the Cowboys made

302
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: a mistake. What would have looked like over paying a

303
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: month ago is gonna be a bargain, You might be right. Well,

304
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: we'll go all the way back to last year when

305
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: people were walking at twenty three million dollars per year,

306
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: when they want to like you. I mean, like literally,

307
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: like people were laughing when they threw that number out

308
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: about it being forty million dollars. But I think if

309
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: you continue to look at the way, yeah, you look

310
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: at the way that he has been playing. I mean, look,

311
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. This team is being run

312
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: through uh Dak Prescott. He's doing a great job of

313
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: getting the ball out with the playmakers, and as they

314
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: continue to win with him kind of being the focal point,

315
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: I just believe the price just continues to go up

316
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: and so all the leverages in his favor. And last

317
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: thing I'll say, and DJ, you can get us to

318
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: the fourth takeaway here right after that is um, it

319
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a Mari Cooper in this game, Dak raising the

320
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: level of everyone around and Michael Gallup Randall Cobb both

321
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards. So I think that's an important

322
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: piece of it. That is a very important piece because

323
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: a lot of it, a lot of the conversation had

324
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: been a Marie Coop's only doing it now that Mari's here, Elliott,

325
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line, all those guys that elevated this was

326
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: his opportunity show people that look, I'm the one that

327
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: can elevate others. So, uh, good game for him. Yeah, no,

328
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: he was impressive. I'll keep it rolling. We'll stay at

329
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback position here and let's go to the Jets.

330
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: I know the schedule has not been difficult, but my

331
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: takeaway from this one, Sam Donald, I think is very

332
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: mentally tough. Donald doctor Throne, looks left past time, fires

333
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: one down the left sideline for Crowder. He's got it, Hilon,

334
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: and he's in. That's a Jet touchdown, Sam Donald of

335
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: his fourth touchdown pass of the game. That's a career high,

336
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: and the Jets extend their lead. Hey, look, this is

337
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: what the Jets need to do. You play bad football teams.

338
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: The Jets are a bad football team. They're not a

339
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: bad bad football team. Uh, they're They're playing like some

340
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: doubly bad teams here in this stretch of about five games.

341
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: And we talked about him that point in time. Let's

342
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: wait and evaluate where he is in his growth once

343
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: we get through this layoup schedule here and see if

344
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: he can take advantage of that and thus far he has.

345
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting when you go back and look

346
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: at it. Seven picks in the New England Jacksonville back

347
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: to back games, right, it was the big storyline, seven

348
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: picks and less than seven days or whatever it was, Um,

349
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: maybe four days, five days. If you look at the

350
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: other five games he's played this year, he's thrown three

351
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: picks total in those five games. So really, Sam Donald's

352
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: laid two eggs, two bad eggs. Don't get me wrong,

353
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: terrible performances. But I think when we get some context

354
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: here and you look at the way he came out

355
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: of that uh, to me, that shows a little bit

356
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: of what he's about. Some mental toughness did not go

357
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: on the toilet was able to rebound. Um. And I

358
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: had heard the story. I guess it just got reported,

359
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: but heard about it at the time that he went

360
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: into Adam Gates's office and said, look, I know everything

361
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: that you want to do, but this is what I'm

362
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: comfortable with. This is what I want to do. And

363
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: I think that that was a good process for him

364
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: to be able to get together with your play color

365
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: and say I don't like that, I don't want to

366
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: run that. I'm not I haven't been good at that.

367
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: Let's run this. And I think that's had an impact

368
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: a couple other numbers. I was just looking this up.

369
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: You know, the Jets this year have not had a

370
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: running back game over seventy arts in any ball game. Uh. Yeah,

371
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: Left Bell had seventy yards once against New England. The

372
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: offensive line, they've left forty one sacks, third most in

373
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: the league, one behind the leaders. UM. So this team,

374
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of pieces. But I think Buck,

375
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: when you look at this individual player, be patient everybody,

376
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: because this guy is very talented and you're starting to

377
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: see glimpses of it. Two things that sit out you, uh,

378
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: kind of letting everyone know that Sam Donald had a

379
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: conversation when Adam Gaze uh talked about here's what I like,

380
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't like. Uh, we would be at

381
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: our best if you allow me to kind of do

382
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: the things that I do really well. I think that's

383
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: coaching one on one. I think most coaches should talk

384
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and try and view the game from

385
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: their vantage point as opposed to the play called advantage point.

386
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: So that kudos to Sam Donald for stepping up and

387
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: being able to do that. Secondly, you talk about the

388
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: mental toughness. Um, we will eventually talk about Chicago and

389
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Mitchard Dubisky, but we're at a time now, whether outside

390
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: noises are louder than they've ever been. Each and every week,

391
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: every day, hour by hour, players here, the constant chatter

392
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: about how you should be playing, whether you're disappointing, whether

393
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: you're a head of schedule. All of this conversation that

394
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: kind of I would say, permeates their brain, gets into

395
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: their thinking, the thought process. For Sam Donald to be

396
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: able to block all of that out and to just

397
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: focus on what is in front of him speaks volumes

398
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: to what he will be as a franchise quarterback down

399
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: the line. His ability to just ignore the white noise,

400
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: the skepticism, and all of the criticism. That might be

401
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: his best trade, and it might be the reason why

402
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: he's able to pull himself out of a tough moment

403
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: and really thrive when he gets a shot. Guys, on

404
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: the other side of this thing, there's a rookie quarterback

405
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 1: who in a way has been where Sam Donald has

406
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: been as well, you know, starting as a young player

407
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: on a bad team, and that's Dwayne Haskins. And you've

408
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: now seen the viral interaction he had with his offensive

409
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: lineman where he's kind of leading to the old line.

410
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: What can I do to help you, and it's kind

411
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: of met with well, just very little reaction at all

412
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: from the offensive lineman. I think Morgan Moses seemed to

413
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: be really the only guy out there was really acknowledging it.

414
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: Um although you can't really see what Chriff and Ruye

415
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: or are saying back there as well, But it just

416
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: what's the is there? Is it always value gain for

417
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: a young quarterback getting starts and as a rookie on

418
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: a bad team, or is there a way where you know,

419
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: it goes the other way where it's you know, not

420
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: like you don't want this type of experience for a

421
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: young quarterback. Is there a distinction we can make on that.

422
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. You know what's fascinating to me

423
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: is when you look at normally you have young quarterback, right,

424
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: and you change coaching staffs, the fear is, Okay, this

425
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: new staff comes in, they didn't pick me. I wasn't

426
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: there guy, So it's it doesn't make for an easy transition.

427
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: This is gonna be one of the more interesting ones

428
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: because it's been out there. Look, I don't think this

429
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: was the coaching staff's guy, So I don't think you know,

430
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: for whatever we've heard about. You know, you know what

431
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't done in the process, and he can own

432
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: some of the blame here for why this hasn't gone well,

433
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: but he was not their guy. So I'm fascinating to

434
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: see what happens when the new staff comes in. Do

435
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: they buy in, do they believe? And if that's the case,

436
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 1: I think he's still got a shot because I think

437
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: there is a lot. I think Dwayne Haskins has a

438
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of ability, no doubt, but there's got to be

439
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: a connection. There's gotta be buying or you bring somebody

440
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: in that doesn't believe in him, then the blueprint is

441
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: out there. We saw it with the Arizona Cardinals. They

442
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: did it. It got it, got a lot of chat again,

443
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: but that was but that was the right move to

444
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: take Kyler Murray. So it's gonna be fascinating to see

445
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: what happens with this team in the off season. It

446
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: is going to be fascinating. I will say to Dwayne

447
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: Haskins credit he is attempting to kind of mature and

448
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: grow into their role. The problem that you haven't watched

449
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: and you have a lot of old players who have

450
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: never won anything, and so um they don't know what

451
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: a winning culture should be like and how it should

452
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: be about uplifting and elevating a young quarterback and doing

453
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: those things. And so I think what he's in is

454
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: in a bit of a quagmire because they haven't gone

455
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: anywhere in years, and I don't know if this crew

456
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: that is currently in place can get them over the hump.

457
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: So he is trying to learn how to play the

458
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: quarterback position, trying to learn how to be a franchise quarterback.

459
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: But he's gonna need some assistance from some real grown

460
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: ups to help im kind of make out you guys,

461
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: do you guys real quick? Both of you guys real quick?

462
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: Tear down? I mean, is this a total tear down

463
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: after the season feels like it? I think so, I don't.

464
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what their salvageable pieces are. I mean,

465
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I like some of the things that they have on

466
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: defense care again and yeah some of the Alabama obviously

467
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: it's been good. But I think this team's need I

468
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: think one whoever takes over, I think you have to

469
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: blow everybody out the building, like everyone on the coaching side,

470
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: the football operation side, you have to blow everybody out

471
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: because I think you need to start. You need a

472
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: stockpilot with some fresh energy, some fresh blood or whatever.

473
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm just worried about these old guys that have been

474
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: there for a long time. It's kind of like the

475
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: same over skins year after year after year regards who's

476
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: in charge. There's pieces, right, there's pieces that you can

477
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: you can you can use on the way to a

478
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: rebuild and a retool which gotta fix the running game.

479
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: Gotta line is straight. Um, all right, buck, let's get it.

480
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: Let's take us to the HFC West brother. John Gruten

481
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: has Derek Carr bawling. Car is gonna throw it, drops

482
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: it wide open, touchdown, touchdown, Foster Morose fourth touchdown catching

483
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: the season, a very well schemed play. He broke open.

484
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: The Bengals had no idea how to covering. You know,

485
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: I wrote about Derek Carr this week and my notebook,

486
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: and the more I look at Derek Carr on tape

487
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: this year, the more it reminds me of one of

488
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: my former teammates, Rich Gannon and the way that he

489
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: performed under John Gruten. I am seeing an efficient, effective

490
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: quarterback that is getting the ball out fastening anyone else

491
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: in the league. He's doing a great job of realizing

492
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: all of the weapons at his disposal, and when it

493
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: comes to reading rouse and understanding progression, he is getting

494
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: to the checkdown. And a lot of times you don't

495
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: see people go through all of the progressions to get

496
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: to the checkdown. But he's doing it, and he's doing

497
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: it quickly. That is why they're beginning to stress the defense,

498
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: not only vertically and horizontally, but they're being able to

499
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: do it because they're bringing those guys to an a

500
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, because the only way you can stop

501
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: the checkdown is to rally and close. He has been

502
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: terrific for the Oakland Raiders. I really like what they're

503
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: doing our offense because it's an old school offense with

504
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: some new school principles, and obviously Josh Jacob is a

505
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: big part of that as well. And look, I think, uh,

506
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, there was the thought that when when Mike

507
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: Mayock made the call about the found the foundational pieces,

508
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: you know, it was met with some skepticism, right especially

509
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: with furl at number four, and you go down the line,

510
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: we I mean, we haven't hardly seen Jonathan Abram, you

511
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: know this year. I mean, after he's been on I R.

512
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: So when that comes back, you add that to what

513
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: we've seen now with furl and two nap sacks last week,

514
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: Crosby has four this week. Trayvon Mullin comes up with

515
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: the interception this week. Starting to play a little bit

516
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: better there. I mean, this is this is a really

517
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: impressive haul. And oh, by the way they're picked from

518
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: the Bears might end up being really good this coming year. Uh,

519
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean DJ, It's starting to look pretty

520
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: good there for these young players, that young core. This

521
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: is the fun part because um, they they've baked the cake.

522
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: The cake has been baked. Now the fun part you

523
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: get it, I mean the frost things, the good stuff.

524
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Now you get to go have fun in the draft.

525
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: You want to go get some speed, some receivers, you

526
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: want to get some playmakers. Um, now you've got that.

527
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: You've got the They've built it the right way, put

528
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: it that way. They've built the foundation. And I'm telling

529
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: you when you have and and it looks right now

530
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: the way Cars playing. If you have what you think

531
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: can be your quarterback going forward, uh, Derek Cars only

532
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: twenty years old. So if you think you have that

533
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: guy for the next six seven years. Man, you know

534
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: how much fun it is when you've got high picks

535
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: courtesy of trades and you can go out and shot

536
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: this the fun stuff, man, like everybody else that's picking

537
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: up that high because that Bears pick is gonna be

538
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: a top ten pick as it looks right now. They

539
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: need quarterbacks, they need pass rushers, they need offensive lineman.

540
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: The Raiders have built that right now. So now you're

541
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance. They're gonna have a chance. They

542
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: might get the best receiver in the draft if they

543
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: want him at that plant time. I mean that they

544
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 1: have a lot of different options, is what I'm getting at.

545
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: They could trade back and still get a great great

546
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: receivers and pick up more picks. Um, the world's your

547
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: oyster that they've built it the right way. DJ to

548
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: this point, I don't know if you got a chance

549
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: to see the tweet. UM. I retweeted the around the

550
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: League tweet about Mike Mayock, UM and all the Ricky

551
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: success that go hen and we've talked about building it

552
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: the right way. What we talked about shortly after draft

553
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: day was we talked about culture changers. How all of

554
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: those young guys that they drafted not only had great

555
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: football character, but they came from winning programs. And you know,

556
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: when you're trying to do a rebuild and you're trying

557
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: to reverse the fortunes of a franchise, you need guys

558
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: who understand what it takes. I think Mayock and the

559
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: Raiders have assembled enough, brought in enough guys that are

560
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: used to winning, and I think that just kind of

561
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: makes it contagious in the locker room. Those guys are

562
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: willing to buy in their selfless, that's all they know.

563
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: And I think that is why the Raiders have had

564
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: so much success with these first year guys kind of

565
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: driving the bus. So Max Crosby has four sacks in

566
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: this game. As I mentioned, UM, what did you find

567
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: from the box score on the Chicago Bears defensive side? DJ?

568
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: Did you did you see name anywhere? Did you see

569
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: his name anywhere? Catching a shutout as good in October

570
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: when you wear a baseball hat, it's good in November

571
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: when you wear a helmet. And he doughnut and I believe,

572
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: I believe he has one sack in his last five games. Um,

573
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: and I know I know there's more to that. Obviously,

574
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: want pressures and I get all that stuff. But what

575
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: I'm getting at is this trade is looking better and

576
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: better for the Oakland Raiders as we as we go

577
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: down the line here, I would agree, and I will

578
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: get us to our next takeaway here, which is again

579
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: a little bit similar to how the Raiders kind of

580
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 1: made up their draft class. But the Colts just know

581
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: how to win and gave it to Williams. Here up

582
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: the middle, he's got a first down, breaks at fifty.

583
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: There he goes Williams forty, he's a thirty in sideline,

584
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: twenty pieces, a fifteen cuts back, then he gets hi

585
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: stuff up at the ten yard line. On this run,

586
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: willyams first down the ten for Jacksonville. He'll make first

587
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: and goal with a coat. Here we sit on a

588
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: Monday following a week eleven Sunday, four days away from

589
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: kicking off Thursday Night football in week twelve, and the

590
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts are in first place in the a f

591
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: C South, and it will be a battle for first

592
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: place again on Thursday Night against the Texans, because if

593
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: the Colts go into Houston and actually lose, the Texans

594
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: go right back to the top. But that's this is

595
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: the position that they're in with Jacobe Brissette coming off

596
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: again a week where he missed a game because of

597
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: a knee injury. He comes back banged up, big old

598
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: knee brace on cuts on a dime, I mean, leaving

599
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell in his wake. Uh to get loose and

600
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown pass to Marcus Johnson, Chester Rogers to

601
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal without t Y Hilton their best skill player. Oh,

602
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: by the way, Marlon Mack runs for a hundred yards

603
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: and breaks his hand, misses most of the second half.

604
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Then they just throw in Jonathan Williams who comes in

605
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: and he runs for a hundred as well. Uh. These

606
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: are the kind of things you can do when you

607
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: invest upfront an offensive line, which the Colts certainly have. Um,

608
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: they went into arrowhead. If we back it up about

609
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: five weeks and beat you know, at the time, a

610
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: team we're considering the best offense in football without their

611
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: best defensive player in Darius Leonard. They have missed key

612
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: players time and time again throughout this season, and they

613
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: continue to be a playoff contender in the a f C.

614
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: They are a confident team, They're a well coached team,

615
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: and that will always make them a dangerous team. Also,

616
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: what happened to the Jaguars defense anyway, that's another story.

617
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: Continue on the Colts, No, I think that what is

618
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: fascinating we're seeing at a time when everyone is skewing

619
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: towards the pass, these teams that are beginning to run

620
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: the football. I have in a lot of success. San

621
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine is the consode of vikings. But you

622
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: look at the Indianapolis Colts, and I know we're so

623
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: used to seeing the horse shoe and thinking about a

624
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: finesse team, a team that throws it around the yard.

625
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: But I believe they're really taking um that adage that's

626
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: on those hats in the locker room. Run the darn ball.

627
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: They are running the ball. They're committed to run, and

628
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: because it's it's giving them a toughness and an identity.

629
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: And they're able to win with those running backs getting

630
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: it done. And jacober said making good plays and taking

631
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: here of the football, Well you flip it over real quick.

632
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Jackson Jacks, the checks through the ball

633
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: forty seven times and this times, and this is what's

634
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: baffling to me, is that they proved when they had

635
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: that great year, right and they go to the A

636
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: f C Championship game. What they're We talked about formula,

637
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: What is your formula? Run the football, play physical, play

638
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: great defense, protect the football, and take your shots. Take

639
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: your shots when are available in the passing game about

640
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: forty seven times. Like I know you want to get it.

641
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: You're excited to Nick Foles back there too much. And

642
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: he made some plays to to to to DJ Shark,

643
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: who's another one of those receivers outside the first round

644
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 1: and we talked about the other day. But that ain't it, man,

645
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: that's not your formula. That is not who you are.

646
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: And when you get outside who you are, you get

647
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: beat down like this flip man John J. Filippo once again,

648
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: like this is what happens. Like I understand. He gets

649
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: his toy back, he gets the shiny new toys back.

650
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: Nick Foles returns twenty million dollar quarterback and you can't

651
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: wait to throw it all over the yard. But this

652
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: team was winning on a gonna miss you in a

653
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: different way and they settled into the identity. So now

654
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: they're having to rework and relearn how they win games

655
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: with the talent that they currently have, and particularly at quarterback.

656
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: I just think it's tough and I think they have

657
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: to be a team that plays a certain way Jacksonville.

658
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: You always have to run it, you gotta be tough

659
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: on defense, and you have to be able to make

660
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: these explosive plays. Right now, I worry that dude's gonna

661
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: skew too much to the past and then not gonna

662
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: be the team that they could have been. You guys, uh, well,

663
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: I'll keep it moving here. The How many times have

664
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: you had the experience in the movie theater where you're

665
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: watching a movie and you think a movie and a

666
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: plot is going in one direction, and all of a

667
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: sudden it's like, well, you're like the usual suspects, mind blown,

668
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: Like did not see that coming. That is the description

669
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Falcons season. Here's Ryan play fake looks

670
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: back to the last steps up throws back line caught

671
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: going across to the pylon Calvin Ridley for the touchdown.

672
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: What a play by Ryan to move up into the

673
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: pocket and throw to the crossing Ridley for the touchdown.

674
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: All right, there was a little highlight there from the offense,

675
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: and the offense really has been explosive throughout the season

676
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: that that has not been the issue. The issue on

677
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball has been the defense,

678
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: a defense that we've highlighted in specific weeks. I remember

679
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: the Houston game for example, rushing three, dropping eight and

680
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: guys wide open all over the field, big play after

681
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: big play. Um can rushed the quarterback, no pressure. Weeks

682
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: on on end, just just they hit the quarterback one

683
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: time in one game. I mean no no pass rush,

684
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: no plays on the ball, miss communication in the back end,

685
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: a complete and total mess. Now we come to the

686
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: last two weeks against the Saints. As six sacks, they

687
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: allowed nine points, three of twelve on third down. All

688
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, this third down defense comes alive. Then

689
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: this week four interceptions to a fourteen on third down,

690
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: they only allow three points. These are not bad offenses

691
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: that they're going up against. UM And I think you, Buck,

692
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: you can speak on this. I know I've I've heard

693
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: you talk about it before. But Rheing Morris making that

694
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: switch from the from the offensive side of the ball

695
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: where he was doing some work there to going back

696
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: to the defense, I don't know how you don't give

697
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: him credit for this. The way they're playing. Yeah, they

698
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: give credit to Rahey Morris, but also Jeff Albrich, who

699
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: is also helping out with the play calling. I think

700
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: Steve Weiss talked about this. Yeah, Steve Weiss talked about

701
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: this last week. Um, I think after Matthew I teased

702
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: it for I was paying attention. I had to wait

703
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: to go to he couldn't get it. So, but look,

704
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: I think the way they're doing this great. Look. Albridge

705
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: coaches the linebackers. He's handling first and second down, which

706
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: normally your prominent rundowns. Raheim is doing third. Now there're

707
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: two minute package. Um, and what they've done, and I

708
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: give Dan Queen credit. Dan Quid had to admit that

709
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: it was too much for him. It was too much

710
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: for him to manage the entire team and run the defense.

711
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: So what he did he handed off to two experienced

712
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: players because Jeff Albridd was did U c l a

713
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator prior to get in to Atlanta. Rahee Morris

714
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: has done it before successfully at Tampa, even in college

715
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: at Kansas State, and these guys have been able to

716
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: get it going. So now what has happened. They've got

717
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: a little confidence you wanted. If they make another run

718
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch and maybe they reel off four games

719
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: four or five more wins. What does Arthur Blank do then,

720
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: because dan Quinn has taken this team to a super Bowl.

721
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: If he has this recipe together where now he's handed

722
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: over the defense to these guys and they got it going,

723
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: do we see him continue to have an opportunity in Atlanta?

724
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: That's the question to I want to figure out, you know,

725
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: I think I think that's a legit question to ask,

726
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, and look, I've been a

727
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: part of that crew that was wondering whether dan Quinn

728
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: was going to keep his job in the midst of

729
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: this season, and I think a lot of credit goes

730
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: to the job he did, but also to the patients

731
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: of Arthur Blank in deciding what was best for his

732
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: football team and his franchise. And at this point it

733
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: was the right move to keep dan Quinn going. He's

734
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: got two straight wins now, and um, you know, maybe

735
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: you can rekindle a little bit of that magic here

736
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: and that will this will also be an interesting storyline,

737
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: you know as we continue on this season. You know,

738
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: and a word, a word we don't hear often on

739
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: sport patients, Yeah, we do not here it anymore? Right,

740
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: Maybe this maybe this will be the right move. Everybody

741
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: thought that bye week that that was a rap um

742
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: and Arthur Blank made the decision to be patient. Now

743
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of season left their three and seven football team. Um,

744
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: I would think you probably got to be you know,

745
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: get to eight and eight. Maybe that's a heck of

746
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: a run you gotta go on. But but hey, they're

747
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: still alive right now. We got buck Jimmy G comes

748
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: through in the clus, but he's still at the forty

749
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: niners week his link, Garofolo on the shotgun, Gerald Junior sanna,

750
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 1: he runs inside, He's got a turn time down. Friend,

751
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: say wow, zero blints, they said, the whole kitten sing

752
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: at Garonfolo and who comes up with a big play

753
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: the touchdown machine. Jeff Wilson goes up over his head,

754
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: collects the rock and rolls and a lot of excitement. Dude,

755
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: they ready, you're dead excited. A lot of excitement there. Um. Look,

756
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: this game to me was everything that you want to

757
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: know about the Jimmy G experience, the highs, the lows,

758
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: the roller coaster ride. That is number ten, terrific player,

759
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: a guy with a like tremendous arm talent. But once

760
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: or twice a game he is going to throw the

761
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 1: ball to the other team. And you just wonder when

762
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: they get into the playoffs and they have to contend

763
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: in the NFC against the quarterbacks that he potentially could

764
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: be facing Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Dad Prescott,

765
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: even a Kirk Cousins if it comes down to quarterback play,

766
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: Are you confident and Jimmy g that he can win

767
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: a shootout if the ball is in his hands at

768
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: the end of the game. We just saw it. He

769
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: just said, no, I get you. I get understand your point. Um.

770
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: And I think guy I had to take away three

771
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: or four weeks ago, maybe five weeks ago, saying that

772
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: Sean Payton should be the coach of the Year for

773
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: the job that he did navigating his team with Drew

774
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: Brees out Teddy Bridgewater in tailoring the game plan. Look,

775
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan deserves a look here, guys. I mean he's

776
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: league a team that's got the best record in football. Um,

777
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: you know he's missed his both offensive tackles for a

778
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: large stretch of this season. Both they're probably the two

779
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: best offensive lineman. Um. Then you've got Kwan Alexander Goes, down.

780
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: We haven't even seen Jeric McKinnon as a as a

781
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niner. They have figured out ways to

782
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: put guys in positions where they are suited to their

783
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: strengths and making plays. Um. We we see with Tevin Coleman,

784
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: We've seen it with most start with Brita. I mean, look,

785
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: the run game is one thing, we know that for sure.

786
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: But again, this just comes down to Kyle Shanahan having

787
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: a grip on this team. Kittle has been out for

788
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: two games. Um, I just I like the way that

789
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: he has the pulse of this team and is always

790
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: putting them in in a position to succeed. Can I

791
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: give you guys one We've done the boxing thing on

792
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: here the last couple of weeks. I've got to kind

793
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: of a boxing thing and styles make fights, right, So,

794
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: and I've been the biggest forty Niner you know, Pumper

795
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: there is. I'm all all in on this team the

796
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: last two weeks. One thing that I've seen that concerns me,

797
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: um is you're seeing running quarterbacks athletic quarter acts. Because

798
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: they use the wide nine, because they get up the

799
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: field and attack, they leave themselves vulnerable to quarterbacks that

800
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: want to take off and go. And now they saw

801
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: to the best with with Russell Wilson and his ability

802
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: to make some huge plays in that game last week

803
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: taken off and running and uh and Kyler Murray had

804
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: some success this week as well. So when we look

805
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: forward and look in the postseason, now, you're not gonna

806
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: have to worry about that with Drew Brees, that's not

807
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: the way he plays. You know, Rogers will extend plays,

808
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: but he's not He's not that type of a threat.

809
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: Um So Kirk Cousins not so much. You look at

810
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: a team like the Dallas Cowboys, and we've already seen

811
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks. Man, I'm just telling you that

812
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: that will be a big part of the game plan

813
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: for those teams should they meet. You know, we're gonna

814
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: see it again in the division with the Seahawks. But

815
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: should these teams, the Cowboys, the Seahawks, see the forty Niners,

816
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: you'll look for quarterbacks to be able to take some

817
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: of those teams and go and god forbid you run

818
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: into lamarch accent on the big stage, because that would

819
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see that. They'd have to change it

820
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: up a little bit and they can't get up the

821
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: field like that. There's no way, no that it is

822
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: a problem. I will say this though, to Jimmy G's credit,

823
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: to Kyle Shanahan's credit, I wonder how would they play

824
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: when someone finally stopped to run. The running game was

825
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: a non factor, and they were able to put it

826
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: in Jimmy G's hands and he was able to make

827
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: enough plays over for one of yours four touchdowns, had

828
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: two interceptions. But this is the way that defensive coordinators

829
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: would challenge the forty nine is going forward, and I

830
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: think we have to say this, and I'm not saying

831
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: that the forty niners are overrated, but then the note

832
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: it says nine of their wins are against teams with

833
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: a combined record of twenty seven fifty three and one.

834
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: That's a point three four oh winning percentage. So you

835
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: just wonder, when the competition gets thick, is this team

836
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: ready to handle the step up in competition. Look, we

837
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: saw him go blow for blow with the Seattle Seahawks

838
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: last week, so I think that they can be in

839
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: these games now with a whole different story to win

840
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: those games. I certainly get that as well, and they

841
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: were in a position to do it, Um, but couldn't capitalize.

842
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: So look at Yeah, there's a difference between being close

843
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: and winning. I certainly know that being an Indiana football

844
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: fan and so look but but I think that the

845
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: forty niners will have a say in the NFC when

846
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. Yeah. Uh, that's that's a

847
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: great point there about India. Anyways, let's let's keep it

848
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: rolling here. Uh, this is a little literation sloppy Super

849
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: Bowl sequel one oh five to go in the fourth

850
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: quarter at Philadelphia, Staders to the left and went, Patriots,

851
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna send a blitz. Matthews off, went off the

852
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: back foot, throws to the ends, up for a hold

853
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: on prob knocked incomplete. J C. Jackson recovering and went

854
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: backing up, going deep to the end zone and the

855
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: pass caram's incomplete. Yeah, there you go. It was a

856
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: that would have been a tough catch for Nelson Aghler.

857
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: But other drops in this game just sloppy play all

858
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: the way around. Neither team had three hundred yards offense. Uh,

859
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: third downs were awful. Um, you look at Philly, they

860
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: were three of thirteen. Now England's five or sixteen. I

861
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: mean really, if you take out the double pass touchdown

862
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: from New England, this is a ten ten game. I mean,

863
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: there was no offense, no rhythm. Um, it was tough

864
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: on the eyes, really tough on the odds. And I'm

865
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna say this. I know it's not a popular opinion,

866
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: but man, I wonder if the Patriots can win in

867
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: spite of Tom Brady. We're so used to seeing Tom

868
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: Brady being the focal point, the driving force of their

869
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: offense making it happen. But frankly, man, he hasn't been

870
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: great this year. Uh, We're talked about a guy that

871
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: his own page for his lowest passer rating since um

872
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: and look, fourteen first half and completions, most that he's

873
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: had in any game. I mean like this, Yeah, like

874
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean this, This is not the Tom Brady that

875
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: we're growing accustomed to it. I know he's older and

876
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: at some point everyone falls off the cliff. I just

877
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: wonder if we're at the cliff right now, I wonder,

878
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're ready to jump over. How many

879
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: times have you asked that question? I mean, I just

880
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: want I feel like, at some point in each season,

881
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: in each of the last seven years, we've wondered that,

882
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: and he's so, I'll say this, I haven't seen him

883
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: missed this many bunnies. Like he has missed a lot

884
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: of layups. He's dirting new whiskey. Last year he's dirt.

885
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: He's dirt, no whiskey. He can't hit to lay up.

886
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: He had to lay up. By the way, was it

887
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: was it any coincidence that that Belichick comes out in

888
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: the postgame presser and says, uh, yeah, look, look it's

889
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: hard to get a win. We gotta win, And felt

890
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: like the guys were having fun out there, had a

891
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of good energy. No coincidence there, right, Yeah, none whatsoever.

892
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: But one thing, by the way, we there's some things

893
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: we've hit over and over again. And I feel like

894
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: last year with the Ravens, with the construction of their roster,

895
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: we talked about, man, build a track team around Lamar Jackson.

896
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: You you build a track team so that you can

897
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: pay off all this running with big plays down the field.

898
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: They've done that. We have the tight ends. Marky's Hollywood

899
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: Brown has been a great piece for them, is giving

900
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: them some of that big playability. With the Philadelphia Eagles, man,

901
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: they are slow as a slow, slow, slow football team.

902
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: I've been in draft rooms. I've been in draft rooms.

903
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: That one year, one year in in in uh in Baltimore,

904
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: we made the decision, this is gonna be a toughness draft.

905
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: We felt like we had lost a little bit of

906
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: our edge. I think it was that you're got like

907
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: Ben Grubs martial yonda, we got tougher. We just like

908
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: this whole draft is about toughness. The Philadelphia Eagles. Man,

909
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: it is a speed draft, really, both sides of the ball.

910
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: They need speed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's just a slow,

911
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: slow team and New England, New England. And then let

912
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: me don't get wrong New England on offense, that ain't

913
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: attract team either. Now, No, and I'll say this to

914
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: your point on Brady, Um, Bucky, this was the most

915
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: disturbed that I've seen Brady following a win, I feel

916
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: like in a long time. I mean, very short news

917
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: conference after the game. Um, you know, was visibly frustrated.

918
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: I mean, then this morning comes out and says, look,

919
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: I am not you know, I'm not oblivious to the

920
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: fact that the best pieces of our team right now,

921
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: our defense and special teams and offense is a distant

922
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: third right now, and that's that's where the Patriots are.

923
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: Uh look, it may not be where they are come

924
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: Week's seventeen or the division round of the playoffs, because

925
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: they can change quite a bit, but that's where they're

926
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: at right now. You know what, you know what? Real

927
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: quick though, before we move on the last thing. But

928
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: this is the this is the this is the brilliant

929
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: place that the Patriots have found themselves forever because they

930
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: win these games. Their division stinks and they end up

931
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: winning these games. They end up in a situation where

932
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: they get a buy you win two home games and

933
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: you're in the super Bowl. They mastered that form and

934
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: they don't have to be easy on the eyes. You

935
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 1: got to find a way to get done for three weeks.

936
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: That's it. Three weeks. And it's funny. I've heard it's

937
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: funny because this would be a far outease. But lu

938
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: hots Um I've heard him say this. You don't have

939
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: to be the best team in the country. You only

940
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: have to be the best team in the stadium. And

941
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: so for the Patriots, the Patriots if on the way

942
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: to just be the best team in the stadium each

943
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: and every week. And so when we get down to it,

944
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a position where they can be

945
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team because they just find a way

946
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: to win each week. That's what that matters, all right, Bucky,

947
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: take us home. The Rams get back to basics. Ty

948
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: Gurley is the focal point. Comes under center on first

949
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: in golf from the water, comes in motion from the

950
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: near side behind a lot of scribmage to hand up

951
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: to Girly. Girly goes up in the middle, lowers his shoulder,

952
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: sprawls to the gold line, touchdown, Rams nine to nothing. Hey, look,

953
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: we we wondered what was wrong with the l A

954
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: Rams for so long, and I've been a big believer

955
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: that Tied Gurley was um not as kind of damaged

956
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: as people they talked about. He was a guy that

957
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: kind of made this offense go and they needed to

958
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: give him the ball what the one behold. Sunday night

959
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: against Chicago Bears, they finally give him the touches that

960
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: he needed and he responded twenty eight touches, his most

961
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: since Week eight of last season against Green Bay Packers,

962
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: had thirty three scrimmage yours most as he had week thirteen.

963
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: He has to be the guy that they run the

964
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: offense through. I know they gave Jerry Golf the big contract,

965
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: but it has to be about Todd Gurley setting the

966
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: table for everybody else. He is their best offensive player.

967
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: They need to run him to the wheel's fall off.

968
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: If he's hurt. If he's hurt or injured, so be it.

969
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: But you have to put the ball in his hands

970
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 1: because he makes the difference to this offense. And look,

971
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: they clearly knew what they were up against this week

972
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: and what they were dealing with internally. Austin Corbett makes

973
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: his fourth or second start as a pro, gets in

974
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: the left guard, They moved blythe over to center. Edwards

975
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: gets in limited starting experienced Bobby Evans first career start

976
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: rookie of Oklahoma at right tackle, And they made a

977
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: commitment to running the football. This was This was Todd

978
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: Gurley's most productive game, not even just from a rushing standpoint,

979
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: like overall scrimmage yards, most productive game by far this season.

980
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: And uh, you know that I thought was kind of interesting.

981
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: I want the Rams postgame celebration speech in the locker

982
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: room and McVeigh didn't hand out any game balls. Um,

983
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: you know this is it's kind of a sloppy. We

984
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: didn't hand any game balls, called out a couple of

985
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: guys for you know, doing some really good defense keeping

986
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: them in the ball game, and then let Bobby Evans

987
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: break them down after McVeigh was done talking. And then

988
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: after that, Uh, John Fossil comes over and it's like, oh,

989
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: not done yet, not done yet, don't done yet? Comes

990
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: in and goes, hey, you know, I think game ball

991
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: in this game goes to coat to our coach Sean

992
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: McVeigh for keeping us focused and keeping us level through

993
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: the ups and downs of a season. Uh, and always

994
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: putting us doing what's right behind the scenes to put

995
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: us in the best position to win football games. And

996
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: he gave the ball, the game ball to Sean McVeigh.

997
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: And I thought that was interesting because I was on

998
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: a radio recently and somebody had asked me, Hey, you know,

999
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: the Bears not who we thought they were from a

1000
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: year ago, the Rams not who we thought they were

1001
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: from the last two years. Which team do you trust

1002
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: most uh to turn things around? I was like, got it?

1003
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 1: Just I feel like I trust Sean McVeigh moore to

1004
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: figure it out. Um, And I think we give a

1005
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: lot of credit to make favor what he does offensively

1006
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: but maybe not as much credit for the way he

1007
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: handles his football team from a head coach standpoint. I

1008
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: think I think Bucky Brett brings up a great point there,

1009
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: and that's the fact that he's he's wanted for radio interviews.

1010
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's what that's my second

1011
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: great point there. Thank you, uh t, that's it. That's

1012
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right, Sean McVeigh. Sean McVeigh is, so

1013
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: he's so bright, and I thought things got a little

1014
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: bit stale, and I think they lost their compass a

1015
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: little bit, and and Buck hit on that. You know, Um,

1016
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal with with Todd Gurley's health,

1017
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: but this thing, this train moves best when it goes

1018
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: through him. And when you get him rolling all shot

1019
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you get some shots, you know,

1020
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: off of that. So, um, that to me is what

1021
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: they needed to get back to and and wisely that's

1022
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: what they did. But let's be honest, it didn't take

1023
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot offense to win this ball. Definitely not

1024
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: definitely not told raisky thing is now, you know, kind

1025
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: of blown up with the hip injury, didn't We didn't

1026
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: really know that until after he comes out of the

1027
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: game and Daniel goes in. So, uh, you know you

1028
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: want to sort that out for us. I mean, I

1029
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: have no idea, but I think when you when you

1030
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: look back on it, I think with the Bears, here's

1031
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: the deal we you talk about in the locker room,

1032
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: fossil crediting Sean McVeigh for kind of keeping them level headed.

1033
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: I think what has happened to the Bears. The outside

1034
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: noise is beginning to creep in, and it's in the

1035
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: locker room. And I think just by looking at the

1036
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: sideline display of emotion when Mitch Drabinski is appear dead,

1037
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: he got very emotion when Matt Naggie came to him.

1038
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: The pressure that he is dealing with of hearing the

1039
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: constant chatter of the Chicago Bears to Mitch Drobiski over

1040
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: Deshaun Wasson and Patrick Mahomes. I believe it is affecting him.

1041
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: I also believe it is affecting Matt Naggy and I

1042
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: think at some point, look, man, your quarterback is your quarterback.

1043
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: Matt Naggi has to figure out a way to elevate

1044
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: Mitch Drobiski doing whatever it is that he does well

1045
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: and then figured out the rest of the stuff at

1046
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: the end of the season. But he has to help

1047
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: his young quarterback get back on track. If you guys

1048
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: want to see Max the city, here's little Mexico City.

1049
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: You guys get a little They're beautiful. Yeah, little Mexico City.

1050
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: There you handling the elevation. Okay, Yeah, I'm not gonna

1051
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: lie to you boys. I got a I got a

1052
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: good workout in, but it was all uh, it was

1053
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: all on kilometers, so you don't. I don't know how

1054
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: fast I was doing. It felt like I was really

1055
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: going fast, but you probably wasn't. But the yeah, cool

1056
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: city man money is eating his way through town. I

1057
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: would have ye that goes. Hey, before before we leave,

1058
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: you want to give us a little something we should

1059
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: watch out for tonight between the Chiefs and the Chargers.

1060
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, Look, the Chiefs get healthy on the

1061
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: offensive line. Uh, they have all five starters back this week,

1062
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: that which would be a good thing for them. The Charges,

1063
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you know they have two pillars

1064
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: of this offensive line. Pouncey's out for the year. Russell

1065
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: Coon does not look like he will play in this game.

1066
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: So the Charges have got to use these tight ends

1067
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: with with Hunter Henry and Virgil Green to help help

1068
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: protect Philip Rivers, but man protection with that offensive line
