I'm beginning to see a 8 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: level of football and a kind of football to that 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: remember and recognize defense playing a big point and some 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: of these teams winning games. Yeah, I know there was 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: some impressive defensive performances. There's uh some teams missing some 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: key players. How do they overcome that? I thought it 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: was an interesting theme as well from the week.

Uh, 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: let's get these tent takeaways cranked up here. Why don't 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: you start us off with the first one, DJ, the 29 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: steel curtain is back. Mayfield shotgun snap throws over Little 30 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: intercepted and is making Fitzpatrick touchdown. Minka people up and 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: asking worse Mink and Fitzpatrick Baker Mayfield just found dog. 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean you gotta like that. Meek and Fitzpatrick really 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: hadn't been a major impact player for this defense shows 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: up with it pick six and DJ. This defense played 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 1: lights out against the Browns. Brown said number one rushing 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: offense coming in. They did a good job of suffocating 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: the running game Hill the rust of attack to only 38 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: seventy five rushing yards on twenty two attempts. But what 39 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: I really liked about this defense for are sex two turnovers. 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: Did a great job of imposing their will on the Browns, 41 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: and they showed the Browns that this robbery isn't quite 42 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: a robbery yet because the other side, I can't keep 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: up with what the Pittsburgh steel is able to do. Yeah, 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: and this is disappointing on the other side of it 45 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: from the Browns because it's a Browns team that's the sandwich. 46 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: Some wins together in an impressive fashion, but the bread 47 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: on that sandwich has been getting blown out by the 48 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and the division now getting blown out by 49 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in the division. So while you can 50 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: definitely feel good about the Browns trending in the right direction, 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: I think when you look at the class in that division, 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: they still very much find themselves in third. Yeah, all 53 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: that stuff because their division is loaded at the top. 54 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers look like title contenders, 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: and I think for the Browns to catch up, they 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: got to get better play, more consistent play from Baker Mayfield. 57 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: He was playing with a rip injury. It clearly affected 58 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: his play, But at the end of the day, the 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are really what separate those top teams, and Baker 60 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: Mayfield ranks third behind Lamar Jackson. And in Roethlisberger in 61 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: that division, and that is why the Browns right now 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: are sitting in third. Yeah. I thought that was strength 63 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: versus strength in that game. And you look at the 64 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh D line the Browns O line, two units that 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: played very well. I thought it was a decided advantage 66 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: there for Pittsburgh upfront as good as it gets in 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the NFL. In that regard my first takeaway, We're gonna 68 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: stay on the defensive side of all that defensive theme 69 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: and that team down in Tampa we've got a championship 70 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: caliber defense. Rogers takes the staff third and Jan drop 71 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: special coup against the pass under something picked off tell 72 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: Us Sideline Party tip tip five touch do Tampa Bay 73 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: touches down chap All ten. First turn over all the 74 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: season by the It's a pick six. How about that? 75 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: That was a huge play thinking about Rogers going early 76 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: in that game, had all kinds of confidence, had the 77 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: swag going after his touchdown, and then it just came 78 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: crashing down with a little flurry of turnovers there, led 79 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: by that pick six by Dean, And I think when 80 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: you look at this Bucks defense, we know what they 81 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: can do with Shack Barritt JPP. Up front, the young 82 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: secondaries really starting to come together again, the youngest secondary 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: and then National Football League. You saw Dean make a 84 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: play there. Uh, Evans made a play in the back 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: end as well. They've got a lot of talent. Carlton 86 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: Davis is one of the better young corners in the NFL. 87 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: So I like where they are there. So you're good 88 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: up front, you've got good secondary, But it's the second 89 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: level buck that makes everything go on this defense and 90 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: starts with Lavonte David, who should be a legitimate defensive 91 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: player that your candidate for all he does for this 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: team in terms of the run coverage, range, leadership, energy, 93 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: He does all those things. And the guy next to 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: him and Devin White pretty special as well. So we 95 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: look at the three levels of the defense coming off 96 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: talking about the Steelers, I think Tampa's in that same 97 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: boat where really you can get excited about all three 98 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: levels of that defense. Oh, absolutely, things you should be 99 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: excited about the tam Bay Buccaneers defense. Toy Bolts has 100 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: done a great job of getting this side of the 101 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: ball to play. And as much as we have talked 102 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: about the Buccaneers office and Tom Brady really it will 103 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: be the defense that carries him as far as they 104 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: want to go up front and Dominican Sux showing up 105 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: and being a menace to and Rogers knocked him around, 106 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: battered him, really disrupted the rhythm of the Packers passing game. 107 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, they said that no one 108 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: can run on them, and they didn't allow the Packers 109 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: to run on them. That was critical. But you're talking 110 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: about this young secondary man. So many players to like 111 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: Carl Davis, Jamal Dean, Antoine Wingfield Jr. Showing up, Todd Bowls, 112 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Ross. They're doing a good job of developing these 113 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: guys and as they continue to get together and that 114 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: chemistry comes together, man a top of Bay Buccaneers are 115 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: a title contender. And it's because of the defense, not 116 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: necessarily the offense, which is what we talked about all 117 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: off season. And you go to the if you go 118 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: to the offense, the player who has been the most 119 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: impactful from actually Ronald Jones. It's not Tom Brady, like Evans, 120 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: is not Rob gronkowskillow Ground had a little bit better 121 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: game this week, but Ronald Jones has kind of been 122 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: that engine for that offense. He absolutely has DJ three 123 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: straight games. But over a hundred yards. Everyone has talked 124 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: about Rojoe and how he was going to fit in 125 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: and Leonard for Nett and Shade McCoy. What doesn't mean 126 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: Bruce arians firmly backed him and he has rewarded him 127 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: with solid play. And if they can run the ball 128 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: like they were able to run the ball, man, look 129 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: out because now takes all the fresh off Tom Brady 130 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: to have to carry this offense with his army had 131 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: tip to Jason Hite building this roster. They've been a 132 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: good job. A lot of young players contributing for this 133 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: football team. All right, keep us going here, Buck, what's 134 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: number three? Hey? DJ? We gotta stay with the defense. 135 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: The Bears keep finding ways to win fules on the 136 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: center one backset David Montgomery staff keeper Fulls tries that 137 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: Jim in there for the touchdown on the quarterback keeper. 138 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: There are your first points of the third quarter, you know, DJ, 139 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: is funny. Of all the highlights that we could pull 140 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: from that game, that's the most exciting one. On offense, 141 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: the defense continues to carry the way from the Chicago Bears. 142 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: When I look at this Bears defense, I'm looking at 143 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: a unit with Khalil mac being able to get pressure 144 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: off the edge. Ro Qua Smith and Danny Trevathan come 145 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: bined for twenty two tackles. That is a terrific effort 146 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: from the second level defenders. And then for them it 147 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: is all about the takeaways and the sex three takeaways, 148 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: four sex. Chuck m'gano was doing a really good job 149 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: with his defense, and as Matt Naggie tries to fix 150 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: the offense, the defense is steady, Yettie, and that is 151 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: why they're off to a five in one start. Yeah. 152 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: I didn't think Teddy Bridge right have really got comfortable 153 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: in this game either, and that's something he had shown 154 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: just getting into a groove, getting into a groove of 155 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: his play caller there and Joe Brady. I just never 156 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: felt that they found the rhythm in this game, and 157 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: Teddy never got comfortable. A lot of that was the pressure, 158 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: uh they were able to generate up front there with 159 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: that Bears group. So I don't know. I'm still a 160 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: little bit skeptical of this Bears team. I know what 161 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: the record says and where that places them. I'm still 162 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: a little bit and wait and see Moode, I don't 163 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: know if he saw did just see fulls comments after 164 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: the game passionate, very interesting, very passionate, very passionate, and 165 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: mentioning the fact that, hey, you know we're winning games. 166 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: We know we have a long way to go, but 167 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: the good news is we're communicating with each other. I 168 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: believe in the guys, I believe in the coaching staff, 169 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: but we need to get better. We will get better. 170 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: But it was a good That's one of those teaching tape. 171 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: You know we're talking about teaching tape with what you 172 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: see on the field. That was a press conference teaching 173 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: tape for young quarterbacks. Absolutely, and I love Foes for 174 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: his leadership ability and what he stands for. And I 175 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: think that has really been why Matt Naggie wanted him in. 176 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: He's a leader, and I think guys gravitated to him, 177 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: not necessarily because of his skill level, but just because 178 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: he understands how to manage the game. He knows how 179 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: to play winning football. He's won at the highest level, 180 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: obviously winning a Super Bowl MVP, and that is just 181 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: good enough for the Bears at this stage. We'll see 182 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: if that offense can come along, but we know their 183 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: defense is certainly good enough to keep them in contention. 184 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the team that's probably the 185 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: most disrespected team in the NFL when you look at 186 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: their record and look at how a little talk they 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: get about what they've done on the grass. That's Tennessee Titans. 188 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: And when it comes to them, their offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, 189 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: he's an amy better get to know parents content Titans 190 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: from their own six yard line. Give it to Henry 191 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: looking for some room fives at ten fifteen, twenty twenty five, 192 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: thirty forty forty five, forty party times, good ladies, and 193 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: gentleman corn. He is the man, and he just took 194 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: her to Mike Keith. Mike Keith is the best I 195 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: could listen to. Mike Keith calls all day long. They're 196 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: on Titan's radio. We look at what they've done offense, 197 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: and we look at Derrick Henry in this game in 198 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: the yards he's piled up. But you look at the 199 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: way Ryan Tannehill is playing, really putting himself in that 200 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: m VP discussion with how efficient he's been as well 201 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: as showing you some more explosive play at the quarterback position. 202 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is a man who has designed the whole thing. 203 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is somebody that has a great reputation inside 204 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: the NFL, somebody that kind of has worked his way 205 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: up through the process. And I think when you look 206 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: at the combination buck of the physicality and the quarterback 207 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: friendly nature of this offense, I figure people need to 208 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: start talking on the outside. Inside the NFL, he's talked about, 209 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: but on the outside, Arthur Smith needs to start getting 210 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: some love. And I guarantee he's gonna be interviewed for 211 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: some head coaching gigs once they come up here soon. Yeah, DJ, 212 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: I think he is a unique name one. He's a 213 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: tar heel, so I'm really excited to see Arthur's going 214 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: to have a lot of success too. I think his 215 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: background is unique, coming from originally the defense side of 216 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: the ball, but being an offensive lineman who has worked 217 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: with the tight end position to now ascending to the 218 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator spot. I think what he is he's an 219 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: example to ownership that you don't necessarily have to hire 220 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: a former quarterback to be a guy that can help 221 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: the quarterback play at a high level. Arthur Smith has 222 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: been able to take a running game, making creative and explosive. 223 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: He's being able to Taylor an offense of past attack 224 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: for Ryan Tannehill that has really elevated his play. And 225 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: I think because of all of those things and the 226 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: level of physicality and toughness that the Titans displayed, he 227 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: absolutely should be someone to watch as a head coaching candidate. 228 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: He has done a terrific job in his second season 229 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: as a play caller. Yeah. Absolutely, And this is a 230 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: Titans team that is just complete. I mean, they're not, 231 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: they're not. There's nothing really sexy about him, although a 232 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: j brown Man when he's out there as good as 233 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: it gets for a young white out. But this is 234 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: a team that's just they're just there's no holes in them. 235 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: They're just very consistent across the board, offense, defense, special teams. 236 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: They don't give away points, they don't give away games. 237 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: You gotta go in there and earn it and beat them. 238 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: And uh, it's just it's a really really rock solid 239 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: football team right now. And I look, you know, if 240 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: you look at the styles make fights argument. You know, 241 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: we saw against Kansas City. If they can control the 242 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, they can control the clock. And now 243 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: they're a little bit more explosive as well to be 244 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: able to score points as well as as you know, 245 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: kind of dominating possession of the game. It's gonna be 246 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: an interesting matchup for Kansas City as well as we 247 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: kind of look forward into the postseason. You know, DJ, 248 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: it's not only Kansas City, but the Baltimore Ravens. The 249 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens will have to win if they have to 250 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: see the Tennessee Titans in the playoffs, because they know 251 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: that the Tennessee Titans has knocked him out before and 252 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: so their style of play, to me, always travels and 253 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: it always works well in the postseason. They can control that. 254 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: They can run it down your throat. And Derrick Henry 255 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: is an absolute man child. I feel bad that I 256 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: didn't give him enough credit when we grated him coming 257 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: out of Alabama. Look his ability to run the ball, 258 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: we knew that. But catching that little swing pass and 259 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: going fifty three yards to set up the winning drive, 260 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: that is exactly what you want to see from your 261 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: running back, big body, playmaker who is absolutely getting it 262 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: done two hundred yard day. The Tigers are to be feared. 263 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: They are definitely a team that you have to worry 264 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: about when we think about the postseason tournament and all 265 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: the running backs that have gotten the extra these second contracts. 266 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Who would have thought the big physical bruisers the one 267 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: that the second contract money is actually looking pretty good. Uh, 268 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: thus far after paying him a little bit of cash. 269 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Let's keep the coaching thing going here, but give me 270 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: another one, right. He Morris has the Atlanta Falcons role. 271 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: Atlanta's going for tight end right, three receivers left, Ryan 272 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: stepping up. Matt thought about it. Now it gives ground, 273 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: gonna flip it down the field. It's called Jones Julio 274 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: ten five touchdown Atlanta, amazing DJ. We always talking about it. 275 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: New coach, new energy. Whenever you fry the coach and 276 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: the interim is elevated. Everybody in the rooms their ears 277 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: perk up because they now know we're on notice, because 278 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: once the coach goes, the players are next. Rack He 279 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: Moore's did a great job of tapping into that new energy. 280 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: They talked about how he made the team uncomfortable through 281 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: the practice week, no repeats, more urgency. I think the 282 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: best thing he did he got the defense playing well. 283 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,239 Speaker 1: They played with the eyes on the quarterback. Three interceptions 284 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: and then on office. He made it really really simple, 285 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: get the ball to your best players and get out 286 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: the way. Matt Ryan over three hundred yards passing Julio 287 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: Jones one hundred yards through the air. That's what you 288 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: want to see from the Atlanta Falcons. And because of that, 289 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: this is the Falcons team that we've been waiting to see. 290 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: We will see if he is able to keep it 291 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: up before a first game. Look really good in the Atlantic, 292 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: and you flip it over to the other side. Man, 293 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: what maybe the most disappointing team to me in the 294 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: NFL is in Minnesota. Vikings, with what the expectation was 295 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: winning a playoff game last year, looked like they kind 296 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: of got over the hump with Kirk Cousins. He's got 297 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: to two years now and I think, what's sixty six 298 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: million bucks? Uh, So they are committed to him for 299 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: this year and next year. He's not playing well and 300 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: to me, I know a lot of people have tried 301 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: to point to the well, you know, you take away 302 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. Justin Jefferson is the best rookie receiver in 303 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: the NFL thus far, the way he's played and as 304 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: explosive as he's been. So I'm not buying that. It's 305 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: just it's not working right now. It's not clicking right now. 306 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: And I know you've pointed to the fact that they 307 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: made some defensive staff changes. Um, but man, it's it 308 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: does not look good right now. That Houston's only when 309 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: they've got that was a winless Houston team at the 310 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: time for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, no, it doesn't look 311 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't look great. And I'm surprised because I actually 312 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: thought he would played better with Gary Kubiak calling the plays. 313 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: I think what is now evident this team on offense, 314 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: they've run through Dalvin Cook. You removed Dalvin Cook from 315 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: the equation. This offense is nothing like the offense that 316 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: we normally see, and so I think it's really important 317 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: when they get back it has to be a lot 318 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: of thirty three running and catching. He has to be 319 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: the guy that really makes this offense go. And Kurt 320 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: Cresins has to go to the sidecar because he certainly 321 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: can't drive it. Yeah, he's he's definitely robbing and uh 322 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: not the batman that offense. Uh. All right, let's talk 323 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: about a quarterback who did rise to the occasion. That 324 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: was in Indianapolis and Philip Rivers. The Rivers tacon throw 325 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: on first and ten in the end zone. I catch 326 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: their check cloud check boil right now, Philip Rivers. Yeah, 327 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: this is a game where the Indianapolis Colts got down 328 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: big early and you thought, man, this could get away 329 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: from him. And you're starting, you know, oh, man, if 330 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Rivers doesn't play well, and this game coming off the 331 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: clunker they had the week before, you know, are we 332 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: talking about making a change? Is that coming? And then 333 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers showed he's got a little bit left buck uh, 334 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: just throwing dimes all over the field, played really really 335 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: well in this game, and without much of a running 336 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: game either. So he put the team on his back. 337 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: He's still capable of doing that. I think the challenge 338 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: for Philip Rivers is going to be consistently doing this, 339 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: and I don't think you want to ask him to 340 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: do this on a regular basis. He can pull one 341 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: of these rabbits out of the hat like this, you know, 342 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: here or there. But I still think they've got to 343 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: get back to being a more committed to the run team, 344 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: being a little bit more balanced, and not putting this 345 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: offense completely on the shoulders of Philip Rivers, because that 346 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: wasn't what the intention was when he was signed, they 347 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: were gonna be physical. He's just going to manage the game. Um, 348 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: that's their formula going forward. While in this game they 349 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: could had to get away from that. He had to 350 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: go chase points and he got it done. Um. But 351 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to live like this on 352 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: a weekly basis, no idea. I definitely don't think they 353 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: want to nor should they try and live like this. Uh. 354 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is a very prideful, very competitive player. He 355 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: heard all week the whispers the rumors about, hey, they 356 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: should take Philip Rivers out, they should put Jacoby per said, 357 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers is this killing them? He's in this 358 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: offense back with his turnovers and so look he dug 359 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: down deep and he pulled out advantage performance. Now there's 360 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: something to be learned from that. He has that in him. 361 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: But Frank Wright and the staff, they can't count on 362 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers to do this each and every week. It 363 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: has to be driven through the offensive line, the running game, 364 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: The defense has to play well, and then if you 365 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: need Philip Rivers, you can break the glass. But you 366 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: don't want to get in a situation, a situation where 367 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: you need Philip Rivers to be the guy that's the 368 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: focal point of the offense. I would rather him play 369 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: a manageria role, a MANAGERI or role where he can 370 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: come in and make some plays when you need it, 371 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: but not because you have to get him from each 372 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: and every week. Perfect result to me as well. On 373 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: the other side, with the Cincinnati Bengals, when you have 374 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: a young team like this with a rookie quarterback and 375 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: you're in the building phase, no nobody of the person 376 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: personnel side will ever admit this, but you kind of 377 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: like the fact we're competitive, the quarterbacks playing well, the 378 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks making plays, but we lost, so we can still 379 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: get a high pick and give him some more help 380 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: next year in the draft. Like you're not going the 381 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: Bengals are not going anywhere this year, so you know 382 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: if they're if they're three and thirteen, four and twelve 383 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: versus being seven and nine at this point in the 384 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: rebuilding process, they'll never admit this, Buck, but I promise 385 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: you'd be okay with the result. Look, they've been in 386 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: every game, dj they have battled, they have played hard. 387 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: I think that's the testament to Zach Taylor doing a 388 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: really good job. I think the young quarterback is going 389 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: to be a star. He has lit it up. He 390 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: does a great job of getting the ball out, and 391 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: he's developed a synergy and a rapport with his playmakers. 392 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: They just need to keep adding pieces around him, namely 393 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: up front to the offensive line. But yes, if you're 394 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: Duke Tobin, if you're Zach Taylor, you feel good about 395 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: how your young team is playing. You would like to 396 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: get into wayne column. But it is okay if they 397 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: get some more else because that does bring them a 398 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: better player in the draft next spring. Yeah, and you 399 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: think about the fact if they could be up there 400 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: in one of those top picks where a quarterback is available. 401 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: Now you're you're sitting pretty because you've already got Joe Burrow. 402 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: You have a trade ship. You can get a boatload 403 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: of picks and really try and improve around your young 404 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: signal call or they're all right, buck, what do we 405 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: got going on? In? In New York? The Giants keep fighting. 406 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: Here's Kyle Allen takes the snap, stops, back pedals, throws 407 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: it towards the ed zone and it falls incomplete. The 408 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: conversion fails and the Giants still lead twity Tonight, team 409 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: go com cal Comb I don't know what happened to 410 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: know cheering in the press box, but evidently that is okay. 411 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: So for the New York Giants. Here DJ we talked 412 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: about Joe Judge and it's tough methods, and we kind 413 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: of laughed a little bit about some of the stuff 414 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: that we heard coming out of here during training camp. 415 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: But I will say this, when I look at the 416 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: Giants on tape, they are hard playing team. They're playing hard, 417 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: They're playing with energy. They're not very talented, but man, 418 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: they get after it and some of that grit, determination, effort, 419 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: and hustle has enabled them to overcome some of their deficiencies. 420 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: This is a tough team. This is a team that's 421 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: playing with discipline. Defensively, Patrick Graham has those guys playing, 422 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: and I think there's some things that you can look 423 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: at and you can build upon. If you're Joe Judge, 424 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: the quarterback is still up and down, but he did 425 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: show his athleticism head over seventy yards rushing. This is 426 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: a team that look been not very good and not 427 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: very talented, but I do like how they're playing and 428 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 1: I think that will be a nice launching point for 429 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: them to eventually have success. Maybe in a year two. Yeah, Look, 430 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: this is a team you can't argue with the effort. 431 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: I mean they play hard each and every week. They've 432 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: been competitive and just about every game as well without 433 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley their best player. UM. So yeah, no, 434 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: I think you give Joe Judge a lot of credit 435 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: for that. But the other side of it, Buck is 436 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: when you have as many high picks as they've had 437 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: over the last you know, five to six years, they've 438 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: got to get some more impact from some of those guys. 439 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: When you've got a left tackle that has not played well. 440 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: When you had your pick of the litter of the 441 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: top four tackles in this draft, and it looked it 442 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: looked to me at the time like you clearly took 443 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: the fourth best guy. Um. And that's been a little 444 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: bit of a concern there with the Giants. But uh, 445 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to Joe Judge, the effort 446 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: that he's got these guys playing with, you gotta tip 447 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: your cap. Yeah. I think it's interesting about Andrew Thomas. 448 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas was benched, uh for the game on Sunday, 449 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: and the reason he was benched because he was late 450 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: to a meeting. I think with Joe Judge. Joe Judge, 451 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: I can can commend him because his actions and his 452 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: words matchup. He talked about being a team that pays 453 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: real close attention to the details, sitting down the fourth 454 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: overall pick um, a guy who was expected to be 455 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: a blue chip player because he's late. To me, I 456 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: think that sends a message to the entire team everyone 457 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: is treated the same, and I think that is going 458 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: to help them as they think about turning this program around, 459 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: trying to get everybody on the same page. Yeah. I 460 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: think to me, if if he had been late to 461 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: one meeting and his performance had been at a high level, 462 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: maybe you extend some grace there and try and understand it. 463 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: But when your performance is not up to par, and 464 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: then now you're not dotting all the eyes and crossing 465 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: all the teas, no, I think it is smart to 466 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: send that message, uh and sent him down for quarter. 467 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: But he's got to play better when he's out there 468 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: for them help. So yeah, we'll see, we'll see what 469 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: happens to that team going for But I know one thing, Um, 470 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: you watch them, and I agree with you. That's the 471 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: one thing that jumped out to me with my takeaway was. 472 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: You know, defensively, they play hard, they run to the football. UM, 473 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: a very very competitive group. The winds haven't come, but 474 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: this is the first one. Maybe they'll get on a 475 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: roll here. Uh, let's stay inside that division. Man, it's 476 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: a bad division. The Philadelphia Eagles just unable to overcome 477 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: the injuries. Lench under first goal, Lench steaks and he 478 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: is a two point cut cut time. Yeah, the two 479 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: point conversion unfortunately for the Eagles fans and was not converted. 480 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: There was a valiant comeback by the Eagles in this game. 481 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: But as I was watching it, uh, you know, you 482 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: look at all the injuries that have piled up for them, 483 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: which have been numerous, and you look at the offensive 484 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: line and Wentz getting beaten up again. Uh, that was 485 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: an issue. Gosh, I want to say. It was the 486 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: third play of the game. He has a deep ball 487 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: to John hie Tower that should have been a touchdown, 488 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: should an ad Yer touchdown? Uh he drops it. Uh. 489 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: There was another big drop later on in the game. 490 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: So you're looking at a team that that's missing. Really, 491 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: you'd say their top three whiteouts with Alshon Jeffrey who 492 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: was unable to get healthy, to Sean Jackson, who they resigned, 493 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: who's had a history of not being healthy. And then 494 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor or the rookie their first round pick is 495 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: not out there, So you're messing your top three guys. 496 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: Not to mention Dallas Goddard, who's to me one of 497 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: the best young tight ends in the NFL. And I 498 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: give Carson Wentz credit. I mean, it wasn't pretty at times. 499 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: He still has some errant throws. Mechanically is a little 500 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: bit off, but buck, he willed this team back into 501 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: the game. Um, he gave them an opportunity to try 502 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: and tie this football game late. I was encouraged from 503 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: that standpoint because I've been really worried about Wentz. But man, 504 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: you just you they're unable. There's unable to account for 505 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: all these injuries that they've had and they haven't been 506 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: able to get the job done. Now. They just haven't 507 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: been able to get it done. And you talked about 508 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: the injuries, we talked about the inconsistent play from Corson Wentz. 509 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: He does flash. I think the one thing that showed up, Uh, 510 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to use his athleticism a little more. I 511 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: think dead has to be a sweet spot because when 512 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: he uses as athleticism, I think that's when he plays 513 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: at his best. And so I believe he's beginning to 514 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: come out of his punk a little bit because of 515 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: the way that they're utilizing him. But right now, he 516 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: just doesn't have enough around him. They just aren't healthy 517 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: enough right now to compete. They're saving grace. They're playing 518 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: in a bad division where no one has run away 519 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: from them. Uh, the Cowboys are their main competition, and 520 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are just as banged up. And so we'll 521 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: see if they're able to right the ship. They still 522 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: can walk away and hoist the division title at the 523 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: end of this. We'll just see how it plays out. 524 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: And let me ask you this question real quick on 525 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: the personnel side, because it was I understand why they 526 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: did it, because I knew they wanted to get faster, 527 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: and that was their sole focus was getting faster, and 528 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: they want somebody to really take the top off the defense. 529 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: But to me, when you had Justin Jefferson and Jalen Reagor, 530 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: those players were not close in my opinion in terms 531 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: of talent. And it's one of those deals where you 532 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: can say, okay, if you're if you're can be a 533 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: coach driven um and say, okay, man, we we just 534 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: have to have this. If we don't have this, it's 535 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: not gonna work well. Low behold, you get injury, just 536 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: get to just take the best football player because guys 537 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: are gonna come and go. There's gonna be injuries, different 538 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: things happen. But you bypass, like for me on a 539 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: grading scale, would be bypassing a you know, six seven 540 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: six nine player for a six three six four player 541 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: because he fits a little bit better. I just I 542 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: think he's get in trouble when you do that. Yeah, 543 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: d I think that's the challenge, um, when you're operating 544 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: in the personnel world and you have coaches and scouts 545 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: and how guys view it. There's no doubt that Justin 546 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: Jefferson was a very complete player during assignment l s U. 547 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: He had played outside and inside and so you knew 548 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: that he would be a guy that could play three 549 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: maybe four spots for you if you bring him in. 550 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Reagan was enticing because he was explosive. He was 551 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: dynamic as a returner, so maybe you thought that you 552 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: could do some of the catch and run pass game. 553 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: But he hasn't been available, and so when you look 554 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: out in Minnesota you see Justin Jefferson absolutely killing it 555 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: from day one. I do wonder if you have a 556 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: bit of buyer's remorse. It's a lesson to be learned 557 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: as a out man. Just take the best player, don't 558 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: overthink it. If we were playing in the park, who 559 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: would be the guy that you would want to take 560 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: with your first pick for the Turkey Bowl. It's as 561 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: simple as that, give me Justin Jefferson and let's go play. Yeah, 562 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: And I think really the unique thing with him, there 563 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: was a couple of players in that draft where we 564 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: would make the case high floor and a high ceiling, 565 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: and I think Justin Jefferson was one of those guys 566 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: you weren't gonna miss on him. And look the verdict 567 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: still the jury is still out here on Jayleen Baker 568 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: hadn't been healthy, he hasn't been out in the field. 569 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: So we'll see when he gets healthy, maybe gets out 570 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: there and maybe he provides what the Eagles are missing. 571 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: All right, what's number nine here? Buck? The Dolphins? D 572 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: shows up Doctor John Platform again going after it, gets 573 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: it off and it's intercepted by x Man. What an 574 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: interception don't from a football and punt a ship the 575 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: line receiver and pick it off. The Miami Dolphins do 576 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: what good team should do. They're playing a bad football 577 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: team and they absolutely beat them up. Uh. Defense, show 578 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: it up was very impressive. Had three sacks, ten hits 579 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: so the quarterback held them to two six held adjust 580 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: to two h six or three yards. Only allowed thirteen 581 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,239 Speaker 1: first downs in this game. And I will say this 582 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: wasn't an a plus performance by the Miami Dolphins offensively, 583 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: but defensively, they took care of business. And what they're 584 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: building down in Miami is really intriguing. Baron Flores has 585 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 1: the defense really playing at a very solid level on 586 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: the uptick, and if they can get more of that 587 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: offense coming together as they continue to build and wait 588 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: for two A ton About Lord to come along, the 589 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins will have a chance to really inch closer 590 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills and maybe even surpassed them as 591 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: the team that takes over the ANFC East. With the 592 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: New England Patriots coming back to the pack, Yeah, look 593 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: that I think they're heading in the right direction here. 594 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: They've got some more picks next year in the draft 595 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: as well. If Miami can catch those in. Um Man, 596 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: they've got a chance to really have a good football 597 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: team for a long time here in that division. With 598 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo obviously in the same boat there with those two 599 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: the young talented teams. The Jets are gonna have their 600 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,959 Speaker 1: picks over the next two draft where they're gonna have 601 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: to try and catch up, because you could see it 602 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: in this game, the gap between those two. It is 603 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: not close right now. Um. And the only thing worse 604 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: than watching a bad team, if you're a fan of 605 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: a franchise watching a bad team is watching a bad 606 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: team with with older players. Uh. You know, when you've 607 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: got a backfield with Joe Flacco and Frank Gore. Um, 608 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: you're these are these are wasted reps, truthfully. I mean 609 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: you're not learning anything about your young guys. So um 610 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: that that's what's discouraging there in New York. Yes, a 611 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: lot of things to be discouraged about. I mean, obviously 612 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: you talk about the lack of talent, the older players 613 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: that are occupying UH key positions and taking a bunch 614 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: of the reps you have in fighting with the coaches, 615 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: UH defensive coordinator Thorn veil shots at the head coach 616 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. And so it's just a mess right now. 617 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: And what they desperately need they need to somehow find 618 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: a way to get a win. And when you look 619 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: at this schedule, they don't appear any easy we any 620 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: easy wins coming. And so, man, you talk about a 621 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: team that is climbing and itching closer to being right 622 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: in the mix with the Trevor laure sweep steaks. If 623 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: he comes out, yes, it is not a good thing. 624 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: It's not a good thing for the new adgest right now. Yeah. 625 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: I know there's been a topic brought up about if 626 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: you're the Jets, do you just do you try and 627 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: trade Sam Donald before the trade deadline? And to me 628 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: that I don't think that really necessarily makes sense because 629 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: a couple of things. Number One, the suitors are not 630 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: going to be there because you're not gonna be able 631 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: to get a quarterback up to speed at this point 632 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: in time to get him on the field that make 633 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: an impact for you. And the teams that are gonna 634 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: covet Sam Donald, the teams we've mentioned in the past 635 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: are gonna be teams that are picking towards the bottom 636 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: of the first round next year with aging quarterbacks, which 637 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: means they're gonna be priced out of the top three guys. 638 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: The top three quarterbacks in the draft are gonna go 639 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: on the top five, top ten. They won't sniff those guys. 640 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: So if you're a team like New Orleans with an 641 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: aging quarterback, Indie with an aging quarterback, Um, we'll see 642 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: what happens with Jimmy Garoppolo and that commitment with him 643 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan. What does that relationship look like? Um, 644 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: New Orleans? You know what I mentioned there with Breeze, 645 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. You know, if Tom Brady how 646 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: he comes to the rest of your Pittsburgh with Roethlisberger. 647 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: These teams are all teams picking in the back of 648 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: one that that next quarterback. Those are the trade partners 649 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: I think that make the most sense for for Sam Donald. 650 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: So to me, it doesn't make any sense that that 651 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: they're not gonna want to do that trade before the 652 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: deadline this year. That's an after the season move. And 653 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: if you're the Jets, gosh, it look terrible right now, Buck, 654 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: But you can't assume you're gonna have one of those 655 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: first three picks. You God only knows. Maybe you fall 656 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: into three wins. And now you're picking four or five 657 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: and you you've traded Sam Donald and you don't have 658 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: an upgrade available to you where you pick, So that 659 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: to me, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Well, 660 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: I think right now you gotta keep him because what 661 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: you wanna do is you want to showcase him. DJ 662 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: is almost like you're selling your house. You want to 663 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: get the model to get a showroom ready, if you 664 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: want to bring in all the furnace, you let people 665 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: imagine like, oh, this is what it looks like. You 666 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: want to show off Sam Donald, either to keep him 667 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: and justify why you may bypass one of the quarterback 668 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: prospects in the draft, or to get him ready to 669 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: inflate his value so someone will give you a number 670 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: one pick for him. Well, let just think about this 671 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: one last encouraging note here for Jets fans, you could 672 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,239 Speaker 1: be in a situation where you have one one right, 673 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: so you got the first overall pick. We assume i'd 674 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: be Trevor Lawrence, right, So you take Trevor Lawrence. You 675 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: then trade with trade Sam. I believe you get a 676 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: late one for Sam Um. So now you're picking one one, 677 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: you get your quarterback you've got a late one for Sam, 678 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: You've got a late one from Seattle uh in the 679 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams trade, and you've got the first pick of 680 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: the second round. That would be four you know, pillar players. 681 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: You could potentially get there where you could get your 682 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: quarterback for the future on that rookie contract, edge rush, 683 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: your corner, you know, another tackle, playmaker, whatever you can. 684 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm what I'm saying is there's exciting days ahead if 685 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: you can. If you can nail those picks going forward, 686 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: you start to see the Jets pick up pretty quick. 687 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: You know, did Jess have done this before with four 688 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: picks in the first round when they had champin Inton, 689 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: John Abraham, Seawan Ellis and then they picked up Tide 690 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: and I think they picked him maybe Anthony Beck in 691 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: the first round. So they have been able to do 692 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 1: this and that really carried them and set them up 693 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: for a nice sustained run which you happen and timbers there. 694 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: So it's not new to them. But it's about putting 695 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: yourself in a position to get the picks and then 696 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: picking the right players. But this should be an opportunity 697 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: for the Jet to hit rock bottom, but to bounce 698 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,959 Speaker 1: back hopefully pretty quickly. Yeah, there you go. Um all right, 699 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: let's get to the final takeaway here, that is the 700 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: forty Niners. Uh, they're big win in the division over 701 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: the rams. That offense runs best when it's through George 702 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: Kittle and Deebo Samuel Kittle finger Shaver's laugh to day Kittle. Right, 703 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: they throw over the middle, it is caught by George Kettle, 704 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: he'll race for a touchdown. Ten d touchdown. Tran sits 705 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: go part. They too cattle over the middle. He's such 706 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: a unique player, I mean Kittle because of what he does. 707 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: We talked about all the time when he does in 708 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: the run game buck. But then also you've got someone 709 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: who can who can run clean routes, can run every 710 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: route imaginable out there. But then it's what he does 711 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: after the catch that to me is what sets him apart. 712 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: And and that's why I like him even more than 713 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: I like Kelsey um Be because of what he can 714 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: do after the catch with the ball in his hands, 715 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: That's what makes him so special. And then Deebo Samuel, 716 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: if you want to pitch him the ball, if you 717 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: want to just get him the ball out in space 718 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: and let him go those two guys. I say they 719 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: run best when it runs through them because that's their identity. 720 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: There are physical, physical, tough dudes to get on the 721 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: ground with the ball in their hands. Uh, that's why 722 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: it's fun to watch it when they're both out there 723 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: healthy at the same time. Look, yeah, I look at 724 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: this offense. In this offense reminds me of a throwback 725 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: offense that you normally will see you on a high 726 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: school field on Friday nights. They're basically a wing team 727 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: football team in terms of everybody touches the ball as 728 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: runners and receivers. Wouldn't be surprised to see George Kittle 729 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: get it on the end of round because their versatility 730 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: in terms of their best players, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel's 731 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: enables Kyle Shanahan to get really, really creative. We saw 732 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel take basically a jet suite in a critical 733 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: moment to get the first down to ice the game. 734 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: We saw Brandon a Yuk and what he's able to do. 735 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: So when I look at this forty Niners team, I 736 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: see two wingbacks and Diebo Samuel and Brandon a Yuk, 737 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: I see a versatile playmaker who was a hybrid that 738 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: tied in and George Kittle, and I see a masterful 739 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: pupper Tier and Kyle Shanahan finding a way to get 740 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: everybody done if they get consistent play from their quarterback. 741 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: Even though we've kind of cast them the side and 742 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: said there're a notch below the Seattle Seahawks, there's a 743 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: path of the San Francisco to steal win this division. Yeah, Man, 744 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: I just hate to see what happened with Nick Bosa 745 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: because if you look at the way this offense is 746 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: starting to come together, starting to see those pieces all 747 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 1: be healthy and on the field at the same time 748 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: what they can be. Man, that is such a huge 749 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: hole when you when you take out um the Forest 750 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: Buckner obviously with the trade, and then now you have 751 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: no Nick Bosa, man, And just they don't quite have 752 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: that same stinger upfront that we saw last year. Not 753 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: absolutely don't. They're not the same on defense. But I 754 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: will give Roberts all the credit. He was under a 755 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: little criticism because the Miami Dolphins absolutely worked him over. 756 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: They bounced back as a profit unit, did a good 757 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: job of keeping the ball in front, and contained a 758 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: Rams offense that have been playing pretty Will brought to 759 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, I mean, let's finish it up here. 760 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 1: When you look at that division, the NFC West, there 761 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: are no easy games, and the Rams can look like 762 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: they were cruising and playing great ball, and it's gonna 763 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: be them in Seattle. Uh, do not forget about those 764 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners.
