1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: What's top, everybody, DJ, Bucky here, this is the move 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: the six takeaway pod and buck Man. We've got our 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: tent takeaways to jump to again. This is the this 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: is the format we used on this thing. There's no 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: chitter chat, no chit chat top, there's no happy talk. 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: Let's jump right in and start us off here. What 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: do you think? Here we go. I'm ready to go. 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: And the first thing that comes to mind for me, 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: the Vikings are legit contenders. Shotgun takes the snap, thick 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: blitz by the Rams so keenom passes lap top fifty 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: forty Chase Keen I'm just shot a dagger right through 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: the heart of this former team, you know, DJ. When 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I look at the Minnesota Vikings, they are built the 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: right way, and I really don't think it matters whether 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: they have a marquee quarterback or not. This team has 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: all of the pieces in place to make a deep 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: postseason run. When you look at their defense, they can 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: rush to pass it with without the blitz. They can 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: lock down on the outside with Xavier Rhodes and company. 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: They have playmakers at linebacker, with Eric Kendricks, and then 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: when you go to the offensive side of the ball, 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: they can run the ball ed will. They're beginning to 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: show hundred seventy one yards today against a very very 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: good Rams team, and then the passing game is emerging. 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: Adam Seland has been the number one, but we know 27 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: he and Stefan Diggs, to me are kind of like 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: one of the best to comment one to combinations on 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: the perimeter and case Kingdom is doing just enough to 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: make enough plays to allow this offense to be balanced. 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: They look great. How about feeling taking a little hitch, 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: just hitches, roll out of it. Sixty five yards later 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: he's gone. I mean, that's that's what you dream of 34 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, to get some of these easy throws 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: and watch what these talented receivers do after the catch. 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: I think if you look at the four units in 37 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: this game, buck um Man, I look like the Vikings 38 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: offensively and defensively up to the building, they were they 39 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: were outstanding. I thought the Rams defensively was the disappointment 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: to me. I think offensively, you look at look they 41 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: scored seven points. You think they just must have been terrible. 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: But you have Cooper Cup fumble going into the end zone. 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: They kind of shot themselves in the foot a couple 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: of times. I still think once they play these elite 45 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: teams like this, they're gonna be able to score points. 46 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: I just don't know if that defense right now, especially 47 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: look in the back end, Uh, if they're gonna be 48 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: able to to make a deep run. When you look 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: at how the NFC is set up with the way 50 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: the Eagles can put the ball in the air, you 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: see the vikings with those two receivers just mentioned that 52 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: they just saw in this game, and you look obviously 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: with the Saints what they can do down the field. So, uh, 54 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: the secondary to me a little bit of a concern 55 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: there with the Rams. Yeah, it's a big concern with 56 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the Rams because you have to be able to lock 57 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: people up in in some way, shape, form, and fashion 58 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: and be a man to man be its zone. The 59 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: top teams in the NFC East all can cover, they 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: all can find a way to really take away what 61 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: you want to do offensively, And with the Rams, I 62 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: just don't know if they have the firepower in the 63 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: back end to be able to lock people down. Whereas 64 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: when I look get the Vikings, even if Xavier Rhodes 65 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: goes out, and I don't think Trey Waynes is necessarily 66 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: a level player. I think he's probably a B player 67 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: at this stage in his career. It doesn't matter. The 68 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: Vikings are able to kind of mix in their coverages. 69 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: They can get consistent pressure on you with the Neil 70 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: Hunter everything Griffin. Those guys quicken the clock in the 71 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: quarterback's head. And we saw for the first time in 72 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: a long time, we saw Jerry Golf kind of get 73 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: battered into pocket. They can do that against any team. 74 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: And looking at the landscape in the NFC, if you 75 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: don't have that ability to knock people around in the pocket, 76 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: you can have a tough time, uh, being one last 77 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: team standing at the end, because every team that's a 78 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: legit contender on this side has that ability. Yeah. Look, 79 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: the NFC is shaping up. It's gonna be fun to 80 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: watch this playoff race come down the stretch. Second half 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: of the season. Here a lot of good teams and 82 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: Vikings definitely right there in the mix. All right, nice 83 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: to take away. Let's get to to my first one here. 84 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: Let's go Tom Brady just making it look way too easy. 85 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: Brady takes the shotguns staff at first and on the 86 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: right side for what up on Cooks pitchers at the thirties, 87 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: drive Bose to the five touchdown Patriots. That's my fantasy 88 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: guy this week. Brandy Cooks on a streak and it's 89 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: a quick step to Brady. Brady knew where he was going. 90 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: He almost dropped the football, re gripped it. It fired. Yeah, look, 91 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I think he just said he was on 92 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: my fantasies, my fantasy pick, fantasy team. Oh, Kurt, we're 93 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: all concerned about your fantasy squad. Looked to me, Tom Brady, 94 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: I've kind of run out of words here. Buck, he's 95 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: boringly good. It's just it's just way too easy for him. 96 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: It's a different it's a different crew every week two 97 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: in terms of who he features. This was the Brandon 98 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: Cook's day, uh six for a buck forty nine and 99 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown, So it was his It was his day. 100 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: Some weeks you you flip on the tape and watch 101 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots and they live with their backs out of 102 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: the backfield. Today it was it was all about Brandon 103 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: Cooks and Amundola having big days. Yeah, I mean the 104 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: thing about the pages there the ultimate chameleon. They can 105 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: change styles, uh quarter to quarter um. They can do 106 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: whatever they need to do to take advantage of your 107 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: biggest weakness. Today was a Brandon Cooks day because the 108 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Raiders don't really have a marquee player in the back end. 109 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: They lack speed and explosiveness in the back end. And 110 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: when you have a guy like Brandon Cooks who's the 111 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: ultimate vertical receiver, a playmaker who can take the top 112 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: off the defense but also run all the short and 113 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: intermediate routes, yeah, it's advantageous to take advantage of him 114 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: on those vertical throws. They did that today. Brandon Cooks 115 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: had a moster game, And you're right, Tom Brady makes 116 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: it look easy because there's nothing that you can do 117 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: from a defensive standpoint that he hasn't seen and developed 118 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: a counter to handle. All right, what do you got? 119 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: What's takeaway number three here? This is a surprising takeaway 120 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: because in a loss, I came away very very impressed 121 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: with playing Gabert. I think he could be the Cards quarterback. 122 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: One shotguns snapped to gather back to throw pumps. Lap 123 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: now throws a deep far side back shoulder caught by 124 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: Seals Jones at the five and end of the end 125 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: soon for the touchdown. He had never had a touchdown 126 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: before today has two in this game. You know, this 127 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: is a very very solid performance for Blaine Gabber. And 128 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: I know when people box scores scal they're gonna see 129 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: the two interceptions. Those two interceptions came late, but for 130 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: most of the day, Blaine gabri kept the Cardinals in 131 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: the game and really had them kind of in the 132 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: in the driver's seat in terms of the way they 133 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: were able to control the game. Two for thirty four 134 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: fifty seven yards. He had three touchdowns on the day, 135 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: and I saw a guy who was more confident, more composed, 136 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: and really very at ease and Bruce arians system. I 137 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: could see a scenario whether Arizona Cardinals going to next 138 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: season saying that if Carson Palmer isn't there, rather than 139 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: take a chance on a quarterback in the draft, I 140 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: think they could go all in on Blaine Gabbert and 141 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: say that we will resurrect his career and allow him 142 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: be the starter going forward. I think worst case scenario 143 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: for Blaine Gabbert's he's gonna be the bridge quarterback. You know, 144 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: I think he looks like he will be the quarterback 145 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: for this football team next year, and whether or not 146 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: he can earn that job full time and go into 147 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: the future, or whether or not he's gonna keep the 148 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: seat warm for whoever they draft. I think he does 149 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: definitely factor into their plans. And look, this guy was 150 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: picked in the first round. And we talked about that 151 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: draft and how those guys were over picked, over selected. 152 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: What was it was Ponder, it was Gabbered, and it 153 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: was Jay Locker, Locker, Jake Locker right all on that 154 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: same draft. But look, Gabbert has the tools, the size 155 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: of the armstrec the athletical but that's off the charts. 156 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: The big knock on him in Jacksonville was he got 157 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit timid. Once he started 158 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: getting some heat on, got some pressure, his eyes would 159 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: continually drop. I think we're seeing a little bit tougher 160 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: version of Blamee Gabbert. It's a good sign, and I 161 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: think he's continued to grow. I think there've been some 162 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: moments in San Francisco where you saw him take that 163 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: step where he would make some plays. But it's all 164 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: about the consistency. I'm curious to see what a quarterback 165 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: whisperer like a Bruce arians can do to see if 166 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: he can get all of that talent that we saw 167 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: maybe when he's coming out of the draft, see if 168 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: you can get it out and get into play consistently 169 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: between the lines. All right, let's let's get to my 170 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: next point here. I'm just gonna tell you the topic 171 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: and then I'll let the clip play, and then I'll 172 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: tell you what might take away is let's just go 173 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: a topic of Brett Hunley. Humbley takes the snapping, rolls 174 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: to his left, not it was right, sets up in 175 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: wobbles one to the right, and it's intercepted again. Eric 176 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Wett'll intercepted it. That's two possessions and two interceptions for 177 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Brett Huntley. You know it's it's uh, it's one thing, 178 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 1: you know, like you can say you're a professional singer, 179 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: and that's a cool thing. There's nothing wrong with that. 180 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: But there's always a guy that stands at the front 181 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: of the stage buck and then there's those little background 182 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: singers that they have offen the background and check. Your 183 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: professional get to go around on the tour. You get 184 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: to get to play in these big stadiums. You get 185 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: to hold a microphone and you get to sing. But 186 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: there's a reason why some guys stand up front and 187 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: other guys are backups. And to me, Brett Huntley, just 188 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: with what we've seen, this is a decent sample size. 189 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Now there's two touchdowns, seven picks so far, holding the ball, 190 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: some of the same issues we saw in college. They 191 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: they're surfacing again at the NFL level. Take six sacks 192 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens, three turnovers. Um, he's a sp 193 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I just he If it looks like a 194 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, 195 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: it's a duck. He to me, is proven himself that 196 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: he is a backup. He's been in the system for 197 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: long enough where he should be able to be productive 198 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: right now and it's not happening. No, not not when 199 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: you compare him to some of the other backup quarterbacks 200 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: that have played for the Packers and had success. Matt 201 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: Lean came in and actually looked like a marquee player 202 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: potentially in this system. We've seen other quarterbacks under Mike 203 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: McCarthy's watch. I think Scott Tolzine had a little success 204 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: at the quarterback bred Huntley a struggled in every start, 205 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: in every situation that he's had the opportunity to play 206 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: this year, he has not looked like a frontline player. 207 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: And so I think you have to look at Brent Huntley, 208 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: and we saw the progress that he made in the preseason. 209 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: But right now, all those issues that we may have 210 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: had with Hunley back at U c l A, they've 211 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: shown up, whether it's holding the ball, staring down receivers. 212 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: Um not necessarily wanted to use his athleticism as a 213 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: main tool. He has tried to play the position. Uh 214 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: maybe the way that they wanted played in Green Bay. 215 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: It just hasn't worked out for them. And so you're right, 216 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: he may be relegated to be in a quarterback to 217 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: the rest of his career. Yeah, that's just let look, 218 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: that's people say has an overreaction. I think that I 219 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: think we've seen a little bit of a sample size 220 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: here this Green Bay packerston getting shut out at home 221 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand six. H Man 222 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Ravens were all over them. The Ravens defense was outstanding 223 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: in this game. Joe Flacco is still a little bit 224 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: uneven um, but they did a nice job. Mike Wallace 225 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: made a couple of big plays for the Ravens, and 226 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: this really was all about their defense. Matt jude On 227 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: a couple of sacks, Willie Henry a couple of sacks, 228 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: or else Suggs a couple of sacks. You have three 229 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: guys with the pick up a daily double there in 230 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: the sack column. You're doing something right. So big day 231 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: for the Ravens defense. What do you got next, Buck? 232 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is still a closer. Here's breeze, well protected, 233 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: gonna throw and it's babble. But then come here and 234 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: he goes into the end zone. He bottled it and 235 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: then caught it, and he does a Florida the and 236 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: in the Grand Street ends for an eighteen yards scar. 237 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: He's the special man. Let him have it. You know. 238 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: It's funny when you think about the New Orleans Saints 239 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: and I'll be I'll be on record saying this, and 240 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: I've said this about Drew Brees. He's no longer what 241 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: he was in his prime, but he still remains the 242 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: guy in the last two minutes of the game. If 243 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: you have the ball you had, Number nine is your quarterback. 244 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: You believe he can get it done. He showed that 245 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: again today when you look at the last two drives 246 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: of the New Orleans Saints, he was eleven four eleven 247 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty four yards, two touchdowns. Drew Brees 248 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: no longer has to carry this team, but he's still 249 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: good enough in a pinch. If they need to put 250 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: it on his shoulders, he can do it in a 251 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: short term stint. He is a closer. You think about 252 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: Mariano Rivera being able to take the ball, come out 253 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: of the bullpen and shut it down. Drew Brees can 254 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: finish games because he's done it, continues to do it, 255 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: and he has that special skill that lifts and raises 256 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: the play of all of his teammates. I'll tell you what, 257 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Saints team and looking at Breede 258 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: just from purely from an arm strength in point buck, 259 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: You're right, I don't think his arms anywhere near where 260 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: it was a few years back. He gets by with anticipation, 261 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: with timing, and just just being incredibly bright on the 262 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: football field. My thing with this team, I think home 263 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: field advantage is huge. We look at the battle between 264 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: them and Philadelphia going down the stretch. If those two 265 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: teams were to meet what a difference the environment would 266 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: be if you're in the New Orleans Saints playing that 267 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: game at home versus having to go on the road 268 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and cold weather. I think that is gonna 269 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: be huge storyline to follow down the stretch. Oh, I 270 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: absolutely agree with you. And when you think about when 271 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: the Saints have been at their best, they've had a 272 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: tremendous home field advantage. Uh. If the New Orleans Saints 273 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: are able to continue to build upon what they've started 274 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: to this point, but to get home field, it is 275 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: hard to deal with them in their super Dome. And 276 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: so yeah, I do believe it's quite an advantage. And 277 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: I think between those two teams Philly and New Orleans, 278 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: the team to his home field certainly is the team 279 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: that you want to come to Pencillan to be your 280 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl representative from the NFC. No, I'm with you 281 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: on that one. Let's say let's keep it roll on here. 282 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but Miami, yeah, 283 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: you you're gonna you belong in the quarterback market next year. 284 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: Cutler sething it has picked off by Roan Alexander and 285 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: he takes it down in the ten yard Live yeah, 286 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: that this is this is a rough one for Jay 287 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: Cutler ends up getting a concussion in this game three 288 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: picks in the first half. He comes out, Matt More 289 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: came in, was actually pretty good, played well, seventeen two 290 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, brought them back in this football game, 291 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: end up losing to the Tampa by Buccaneers. I just 292 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: think when you look at this team buck obviously Cutler, 293 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: this is a one and done for him. That they 294 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: they kind of pulled him out of the straight out 295 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: of the broadcast booth and that has not worked out. 296 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: So he's done. That's a one and done. Matt Moore 297 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: has proven himself to be a really really good backup quarterback, 298 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: but that's really what he is at this stage in 299 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: his career. And then to me, Ryan Tannehill, see if 300 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: you're with me on this one, Ryan Tannehill to me 301 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: is kind of it's getting close to getting to that 302 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: that Sam brad for territory of Okay, we all acknowledge 303 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: he's got some ability and some skill, but you can't 304 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: go into a season counting on him. And you look 305 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: at the money that he's making. It's a it's a team. 306 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: I think if you're picking high up in the draft, 307 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: which they're sitting at four and six, is a good 308 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: chance they're way up there. They have to consider taking 309 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round. Yeah, I think they 310 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: have to consider taking a quarterback because you're right when 311 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: it comes to Ryan Tannehill, we have seen what he is, 312 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: and to be honest, he hasn't been available the last 313 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: year and a half and it's not necessarily his fault 314 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: that he suffered a couple of injuries, but he hasn't 315 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: been on the field. And when you're playing that kind 316 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: of money to a franchise quarterback, the one thing that 317 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: you expect is a franchise quarterback to show a weekend 318 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: week out. And so if you're the Miami Dolphins, you're 319 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: doing a little inventory. You're looking and assessing all of 320 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: the needs of the team. I do believe you have 321 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: to do yourself a solid and evaluate the quarterback and 322 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: see if you can find better, Particularly if you finish 323 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: with a top ten, maybe a top five pick, you 324 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: have to weigh the quarterback that could be available to 325 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: you in the eighteen draft versus what you've scene and 326 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: what you think you can continue to see from Ryan Tannehill. 327 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: All right, say you're sorry. Now, right now, you say 328 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: you're sorry to Ryan Fitzpatrick all those shots you took 329 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: at him today on NFL game Day, he did somehow 330 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: managed to get a W. But I feel like with 331 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: five more minutes he was going to kind of see it. 332 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: I feel like I was just five more minutes away 333 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: from Ryan Fitzpatrick coming back. But I will acknowledge that 334 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: the Harvard gradvord, the Harvard graduate was able to get 335 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: to dub. Hats off to Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'm just upsetting 336 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: only through to the other Harvard guy. One time Cameron 337 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: Braid there threw to him three times, only one catch 338 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: though for twelve yards. I thought we're gonna have a 339 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: Harvard connection there. It did not happen. But Ryan Fitzpatrick, 340 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: hats off to you. The Bucks they get to four 341 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: and six right now, So that's that's interesting. One buck. 342 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: The Uh what do we got here? What's next on 343 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: the list? The New York Jets, Yeah, here we go. 344 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm I think about the New York Giants. Haven't quit 345 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: on b McAdoo. Man, it takes the snap that bring pressure. 346 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna lob one down the left sideline. In the 347 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: past it's part three. Like Lewis now was he contacted 348 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: down there's a flag on the plane, pass in their 349 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: parents or touchdown one of the other look at this catch? 350 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: He was with, what a catch? You know? The New 351 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: York Giants surprised everybody and getting a big win against 352 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: the Keen City Chief team coming off of a bye 353 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: that simply doesn't happen. And so when I look at 354 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: the Giants and who was available to them at wide receiver, 355 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about Louis Tavars, King, Travis Rudolph Uh, nobody 356 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: running back. They had Orleans darkwa This was a team 357 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: that had every reason to shut it down, to pack 358 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: it in um. So many of us in the media 359 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: has said that they were awful, they need to blow 360 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: everyone out the building. But yet they came and they 361 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: stood up and then playing the way that they played 362 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: suggested me Ben McAdoo still has their voice, and he 363 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: certainly helped it by meeting with players individually, continued to 364 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: try and hash out whatever the differences were between coaches 365 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: and play years. I give him credit because I didn't 366 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: think he had that in him. But they showed signs 367 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: of progress in a very ugly win. But they did 368 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: win their sick and win today. Yeah, Like I look 369 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: at this roster and that that group you just mentioned, 370 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, look, they didn't score 371 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of points as twelve points for this team here, 372 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like there was a bunch of touchdowns 373 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: flying around the field. But they found a way to 374 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: get the job done. And I think you do have 375 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: to give everybody there some credit. I'm just telling you 376 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: where the New York Giants expectations were coming into the season, 377 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: even with all the injuries. Sitting here at two and eight, 378 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: that's a that's a nice win, but that is nowhere 379 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: near expectation in that town. And I think Ben McAdoo 380 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: needs to rack up another another bunch of these things here. 381 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: I'd say, look, what do you think he needs to 382 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: get Let's let's just real talk here for him to 383 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: save his job there two and eight right now, they 384 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: need to finish up the season at what in order 385 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: for him to survive. I think if he can get 386 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: to five and eleven or six and ten, I think 387 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: he can save his job. I think the big thing 388 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: is seeing how they finished down the stretch. If I'm 389 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: being at back and doo. If I'm the Giant staff, 390 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this. I'm encouraged by the defense ending 391 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: up and playing because the last two games the defense 392 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: didn't show up. We taught. We saw the shoddy tackling, 393 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: we saw the inconsistent effort they displayed in those two games. 394 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: This game, against a high powered offense, or offense that 395 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: we thought was high powered, they shut them down. They 396 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: did a really good job of getting turnovers, three interceptions, 397 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: noted quarterback around, a little bit made to plays they 398 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: need to make. If they can kind of somehow push 399 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: themselves to six and ten, I think McAdoo can save 400 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people's jobs. Yeah, I think six is 401 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: the number. I think six you've got hope, there's a chance. 402 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: I think if you're five and eleven, that's probably all 403 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: she wrote. I think you got to get at least 404 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: to the number six. I don't know if that's gonna 405 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: be good enough at the end of the day, but 406 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: good good luck. It's a good win for them. Mackennsee 407 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs are really they lost four or five and you're 408 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: starting to start here those mahomes whispers a little bit. Buck. 409 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it's gonna be interesting to see 410 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: how they deal with us next the next couple of 411 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: weeks if they can't get the ship right. And I 412 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: do think there's a chance we see Pat Mahomes before 413 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: the end of the year, which is crazy because Alex 414 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: Smith is in the p candidate after the first han 415 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: full of weeks of the season. Yeah, and I don't 416 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: think Alex is desertis playing bad like today he had 417 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: his first multi interception game. He had two interceptions. We 418 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: hadn't seen that. I mean, we hadn't seen him turn 419 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: the ball over. But yeah, like the people that love 420 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: Alex Smith will continue to support them to people that 421 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: hate him, this is an opportunity for them to maybe 422 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: pull the plug. I will say this about the Kansas 423 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, um all the creator. We gave them offensively 424 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: for their creativity and uh the gadget tree that they 425 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: were using early in the season and backfired on today. 426 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: I think the serious issues come from this team. They 427 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: have to be able to run the ball consistently, and 428 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: in the last four or five games we haven't seen 429 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt be the difference maker that he was early 430 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: in the year. I think the big thing next week 431 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: in the in the planning. They have to figure out 432 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: a way that where they can get Kareem Hunt untracked 433 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: so Alex Smith doesn't have to be the driving force 434 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: of the offense. I love Alex Smith, but I don't 435 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: like him when he has to throw forty times a game. 436 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: Yeah no, that's not a that's not a recipe for 437 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: success for the Kansas City Chiefs. We've got three takeaways 438 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: left before we get to those, though, real quick. The 439 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl vote is here.

All right, let's let's 448 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: get to uh this is number eight on the list. 449 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: This one, to me, Buck is kind of interesting conversation. 450 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: I'll just put it out. Their speed overrated at the 451 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: running back position, and off mark ingram Ingram he's up 452 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: to midfield, he's still running to the forty one yard 453 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: line or thereabouts of the Redskins, d J swearing Jer 454 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: eventually brings him down a twenty yard first by marking. 455 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: You know, Buck, I feel like I have to learn 456 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: the same lessons over and over again. When you're scouting, 457 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: you always you're always studying what you got right, what 458 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: you got wrong, and always trying to to self evaluate. 459 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: And man, I I write this down all the time. 460 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: And this is not in regards to these specific players, 461 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: but it's just always a good reminder when you're scouting 462 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: the running back position. Forget the clock. The clock is 463 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: so overrated. It's about vision, it's about balance, it's about 464 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: short area quickness. And today was a good reminder that 465 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: when you see guys like some J. P. Ryan going 466 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards, mark Ingram going over a hundred yards, 467 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard going over a hundred yards. You see Alfred 468 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: Morris coming close to a hundred yards filling in for 469 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: Ezekie Elliott. These are not speed merchants, Buck, but these 470 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: guys have excellent vision, balance power, and they get the 471 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: job done at the next level. Don't get carried away 472 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: with the clock at that position. And I think that's 473 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: important lesson for everyone to learn. So much of the 474 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: conversation will turn to forty times and explosive this and 475 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: what do they look like when it comes to the 476 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: big plays and being able to do it, and that 477 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: has little to do with really playing a position. Will 478 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: It's about the vision, to balance, to buy the control, 479 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: the ability to run through contact. And now in today's game, 480 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: it's a versatility. Can you cast the ball out the backfield? 481 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: So yes, speed is a small part of the evaluation. 482 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: You have to make sure that you keep it in perspective. 483 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: Look for guys who have more traits that can bring 484 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: more to the table, because those are the guys that 485 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: can do it, and it doesn't matter how fast they are. 486 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get rolling here. Number nine on 487 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: the list. What we got. The Charges are the best 488 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: team in the f C West. Shotguns snapped. Peterman fades 489 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: back and he slings it to the far left, intercepted, 490 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: picked off by Trevor Williams. He brings us up the 491 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: fort and gets knocked down there. That's five interceptions for 492 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman and the Chargers half their defense to the 493 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: end zone. You know, DJ the familiar theme when I'm 494 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: looking forward teams that are built for the close season. Uh, 495 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: they have the ability to run the ball, they have 496 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: a defense that is lights out, that has the ability 497 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: to rush the pass, and they can create turnovers. And 498 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: then they have a veteran quarterback who if he needs to, 499 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: he can put it on their shoulders. I'm looking at 500 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: the Charges in comparison to the rest of the team 501 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: in this division. They check off all of those boxes 502 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: and they appear to be a team that his founder identity, 503 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: and they begin to play the games the right way 504 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: going down to stretch. And I think people might scoff 505 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: at that when they think of how the Chargers started 506 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: and you talk about them being the best team in 507 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: the division. But Pucky, as I look at the standings 508 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: here Kansas City six and four, the Chargers tied with 509 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: the Raiders at four and six, just a couple of 510 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: games behind the Chiefs, and the Chiefs team that's lost 511 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: four or five and they're reeling. And I think when 512 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: you again you look at how this roster is constructed, 513 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: I think you'll start to see Philip Rivers get more 514 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: and more confident, more and more comfortable with some of 515 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: the new pieces he has around him. But to me, 516 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: this is all about that Chargers defense, which has got 517 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: a chance. They looked right now they're playing an elite 518 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: level and I think that's only gonna crank up. Yeah. 519 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: I mean when I'm looking at this defense and the 520 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: way that they are built, Joey Bosa on one edge, 521 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram off the other edge. You have Casey Hayward 522 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: in the back, in the in the secondary of being 523 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: able to pick off passes. This team has the right stuff. 524 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: We talked about it being a past in league and 525 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: how your defense has to be built to defend the past. 526 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: They have that. Each of these sack artists can go 527 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: for two or three sacks on their own accord and 528 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: Joey Bose's disruption at the point of attack being creating 529 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: forced phone bulls be a quick name, the clock in 530 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: the quarterback's head being taken the quarterback down. He is 531 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: a nightmare to defend and to have someone on the 532 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: other side like a Melvin Ingram who can be just 533 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: as disruptive. The Charges are a tough out. They're a 534 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: tough team to face and man as they're continue to 535 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: get it together, they're dangerous. They're dangerous team hitting down 536 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: stretch Denzel Perriman being healthy for this football team is 537 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: a is a big deal too. They missed him when 538 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: he was out earlier this season. I'll flip it over 539 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: real quick because and we don't have this on one 540 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: of our takeaway lists, but I want to just touch 541 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: on this real quick. We were both pretty outspoken and 542 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: kind of even almost making fun of the fact that 543 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: the Bills made the decision to to move on from 544 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor and to put in Nate Peterman. I remember 545 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: making the crack about the fact, you know, obviously Tyrod 546 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: didn't tackle well enough. He wasn't stopping the run, so 547 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: that's why he had to make the change of the 548 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: quarterback position. Uh. Tongue and cheek, obviously, but this team 549 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: was terrible defensively in this game. Again, that wasn't solved 550 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: by taking Tyrod Taylor out. And in fact, you could 551 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: not have a worse quarterback change. I can't think of 552 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: one to pull a quarterback who's playing maybe not great football, 553 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: but but winning football. You could win with the way 554 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor had been playing, and they had been winning. 555 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: They were five and four to go to Nathan Peterman, 556 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: a rookie who trots out there and Bock five picks 557 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: in the first half. They had to abort the plan 558 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: one half in. It was unbelievable. It was unbelievable watch 559 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: and I know we can blame some of those things 560 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: on the pressure that he got. He got hit some 561 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: unfortunate tips and bounces, but at the end of the day, 562 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: your stad line as your stadline. He did have five interceptions, 563 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: And to me, I think the bigger thing is when 564 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: they were in a situation where they were really forced 565 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: to have to throw in the charges Nuded had to throw. 566 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: The lack of arm strength, the lack of um big 567 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: velocity and zip showed up because those guys squatted on 568 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: his routes. They were looking to jump his stuff and 569 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: he got jittery. You have that many interceptions dead early. 570 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: It's not a recipe for success. And so I understand 571 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: the Bills wanting to move on and maybe find if 572 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: the young quarterback was their franchise guy, or maybe they're 573 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: moving on to ten. But the thing is, Tyrod Taylor 574 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: masked a lot of the flaws of that offensive line 575 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: and some of the other issues that they had, and 576 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: when they poured the plug on that experiment, it really 577 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: exposed the rest of the roster and the holes that 578 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: they have on it. By the way, am I reading 579 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: this right? Did the did tom Brady only threw two 580 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: picks last year, correct touchdowns and two backs. This year 581 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: he's twenty two touchdowns and two backs. So he threw 582 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: more interceptions and one half than Tom Brady has thrown 583 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: in the last two seasons combined. Yes, yes, that's how 584 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: that's that's incredible. I mean, I mean it's an incredible 585 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: stat Like look, I hated for the young man fresh 586 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: uh first start debut five five picks and a half, 587 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: but he wasn't put in a great situation. And even 588 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: now that we can go back and obviously hindsight is 589 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: to think about starting him against a defense that has 590 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: two elite pass rushers when you have issues at the edges, 591 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: just wasn't the best decision. I don't know if it 592 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: was a well thought out plan when the Buffalo Bills 593 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: decided that they wanted to go with Peterman over Tyron Taylor. 594 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'll get to I'll get to 595 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: this next point about the Bills here in my final point. 596 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: I'll explain it here in a second, but my final 597 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: one here, just go ahead and print the shirts, the 598 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: NFC East champ shirts. We've talked about this before, but yeah, 599 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: go ahead and print those things up. The Eagles, they've 600 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: all but locked that up. Now Len's trying to convert 601 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: on fourth down out of water catch by Jeffrey all 602 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey into the end zone on fourth down. Yeah, 603 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like, Look, the offense was great. 604 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: They ran the ball for I think over two hundred 605 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: yards in this ballgame. Uh, complete showing by the offense 606 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: once making all kinds of plays. You saw both the 607 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: free agent acquisition scoring touchdowns and al Sean Jeffrey and 608 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: Tory Smith. But this to me was out two things. 609 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: This was about the defensive line of the Eagles dominating. 610 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: And this is the other thing that we have been 611 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: talking about. I feel like we've been talking about this 612 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: for a long time. There's reinforcements coming that you know, 613 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna get Darby in here, he's gonna come back. 614 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: There's a chance you're gonna get Sydney Jones, which it 615 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: looks like that's gonna happen their second round pick. But 616 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: we both thought was, you know, if not the best 617 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: corner in last year's draft one of the two best 618 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: corners in the draft. So Darby comes back in this game, 619 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: and but there was no rust whatsoever. Had a nice 620 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: breakup in the end zone against Desk Bryant. Uh was 621 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: excellent in the open field as a tackler. It's an 622 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: a meeting upgrade. Jalen Mills, with all that playtime, has 623 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: played at a pretty high level. He's come along and 624 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: played really well. You've got the two safeties and McLeod 625 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: Jenkins who are outstanding. Now you throw a fresh Darby 626 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: in there. It was now finally healthy and you're potentially 627 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: going to bring in a Sydney Jones. This team is 628 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: only gonna get better. They're only going to get better. 629 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: I think that's the scarier part of it, the fact 630 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: that Ronald Darby dislocates his ankle early. They able to 631 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: continue to win without him. He comes back, He's able 632 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: to be kind of did number one corner on the outside. 633 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: The pass rush that they can throw at you, We've 634 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: talked about the ability to knock you running waves. They 635 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: have everything. They have everything that you can look for. 636 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: Nowaday fixed the running game with Jagi and the Garret 637 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: Blunt and Corey Clemen. Those guys, even Kenyan Barner playing 638 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: a role, They can morph styles. And I think the 639 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: big thing that you have to be able to do 640 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: when you play offensive football, uh, particularly a team that 641 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: goes deep, is you have to be versatile enough to 642 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: change styles based on how the defense is playing you 643 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: and the weather conditions. The Eagles now have a weatherproof team, 644 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: and they have a quarterback that can take his game 645 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: to an m v P level when he has to. 646 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: This is a rugged football team right now. And Derek 647 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: Barnett played his butt off in this game. Had two sacks, 648 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: but man, he was in the backfield the entire day, 649 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: obviously taking his turns against Byron Bell, who's in a 650 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: tough spot. They're filling in for Tyrn Smith. But Barnett 651 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: has been doing this a lot over the last three 652 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: or four weeks. He's really starting to grow. He's been 653 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: great against the run, giving him some extra pass rush. 654 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we said that they just 655 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: come at you and waves up front, and once they 656 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: got the lead, I think I tweeted it out right 657 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: before they scored on defense, was this you could get 658 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: real ugly when you put Dallas in a must pass 659 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: situation and these pass rushers who are fresh get to 660 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: pin their ears back. Bad things are getting ready to happen. Yeah, 661 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: bad things happen when they know they have you in it. 662 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: Uh obvious passing down the way, they can get in 663 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: those wide nines, they can come after the quarterback. They 664 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: have a number of guys that can get there from 665 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: inside and outside. Yeah, it's a problem to feel the 666 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: different Eagles are problem attic for most teams because their 667 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: front seven and really their front four is as dominant 668 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: as they come at the point of attack. Tell you what, 669 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: if I was a a college team with an opening 670 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: right now, or if you know looks there are a few, 671 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: or if I was an NFL team, I think you 672 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: got at least bringing Jim Schwartz and talk to him. 673 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he has done a phenomenal job with this 674 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: Eagles defense over the last couple of years, had some 675 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: winning seasons there with the Detroit Lions and heerd it 676 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: a mess there, just a name to to put in 677 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: the back of your mind there. He's got to be 678 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: in the mix for some of these jobs, doesn't he Oh. 679 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: I think we talked about the NFL cycle maybe having 680 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: anywhere from six to eight jobs that may come open 681 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: when you think about Jim Swartz and what he has 682 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: been able to do, not only in Philadelphia, but going 683 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: all the way back to Detroit, taking a team that 684 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: was only sixteen, eventually getting to the point where they 685 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: were able to go to the playoffs, having to take 686 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: a number one quarterback and grow him and develop him. 687 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: He understands the way to rebuild the team. I think 688 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: this situation here being on the other end where he's 689 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: seeing what the Eagles were able to do with Carson Wentz, 690 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: seeing how they've been able to rebuild their defense. Yes 691 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, in Philadelphia, I think he has damned his resume. 692 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: He will be a guy that gets a head coaching 693 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: job in twent eight team. I'm with you, like he's 694 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job. I think you gotta give you 695 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: gotta give that offensive staff with Doug Peterson a Frank Right, 696 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: a lot of credit as credit as well. They have 697 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles sitting with the best record in the league, 698 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: look like the best team in the league right now, 699 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: to be honest. So I'll be interesting to see how 700 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: this NFC shapes up. The way the Saints are playing, 701 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: the Vikings are playing, the Rams even in defeat.
