1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,479
Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: What's up everybody? Happy Thanksgiving from myself and Bucky Brooks

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: as we kick off another Thanksgiving Day version of Move

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: to six Buck. How you doing, man, Man, I'm great, DJ.

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: I love the time of year, Like we talked about

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: it on one of the last bots, about just family

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: coming together, being able to kind of reflect and count

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: all the blessings that you've had. Sometimes life is so

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: chaotic we don't appreciate all the things that have kind

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: of come our way.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: So this is a great time for reflection. Yeah, I

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: think that's where we start. Man. We'll get into these

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving games and the Black Friday Game, which is a

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: fun slate of games, and preview those in just a minute.

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: But I do think it is important, and not just

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving, but at all times. I think a grateful

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: hearts to happy heart, and I know the two of

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: us have so much to be thankful for. I don't

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: know what the number is now, Buck, I know we're

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: over a thousand, right, didn't we celebrate our one thousand

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: not long ago? So we been doing the show for

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: over a decade and we've been friends for over twenty years,

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's a pinch. We have a pinch me

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: life that we get to do this, you know, five

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: days a week, and somehow they're paying us for this

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: whole thing.

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: It is kind of crazy when you think about it, right,

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: Like you kind of think about like how life takes

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: to twist and turns and kind of push you in

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: a position to do these things, Like what can be

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: better than talking to talking ball all day every day

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: and being able to do it with people that you're

33
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: close to, people that you have a ton of respect with,

34
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: not just you, but think about all the others who

35
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: are part of the Move to Sticks team behind the scenes.

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: You think about Rhett and Lance and so many other

37
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: guys that pop on. It's really been a great ride.

38
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: And when you look at the landscape speaks volumes to

39
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: our connection but also the help of so many of us,

40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: so many of the people around us, to make sure

41
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: this thing is always going.

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think about the thousands and thousands of shows

43
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: that have come and gone, daring our run here and

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: to be able to still be doing it with the

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: you know, with the same partner and Buck and then

46
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: we've had a whole host of producers. Gavin's the latest

47
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: has done a great job. They've all got onto bigger

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: and better. I mean, he's been a nice little launching.

49
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Cut for a lot of when you when you when

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: you bring that up, it makes you think about Sully

51
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: and Jodi Kant.

52
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, jonahsy So I think about him. I think about

53
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: TD who's going on to do great things. Yeah, with

54
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: wasteports and entertainment.

55
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: I think about all the other people that have kind

56
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: of popped in and done different things, and the field

57
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: has gone on and done and stuff.

58
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: It's just so many was involved for a little bit,

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: a lot of different guys, man, but it's been it's

60
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: been fun and in terms of things that we're thankful for,

61
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm thankful you mentioned this the other day,

62
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: but I uh, I knocked out a couple guys this

63
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: morning on the draft and buck I kind of the

64
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: reason I like doing it this week. I know some

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: people say, like, you can be doing draft year round.

66
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: I like taking a little bit of a break and

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: then you jump into it and it's like I forgot

68
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: how much I love doing this. Man. Like, of all

69
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: the stuff that we enjoyed about the scouting process, from

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: our scouting career in the NFL to me, but none

71
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: of it involved getting in a car and driving. None

72
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: of it involved getting character background on players. What I

73
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: enjoyed was I enjoyed watching the tape and talking about

74
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: the players. And that's what we get to do, man.

75
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: And now we're starting to jump in on that side

76
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: of it, which is really fun.

77
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: This is the fun part of it, right Like so

78
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: scouting for a team and tell so much stuff, like

79
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: you talk about the travel, the background, all the other

80
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: things that to do to put together the complete profile.

81
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Right now we get to parachute in and do the

82
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: fun part of the job, which is looking at the

83
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: tape and beginning to project and imagine how these players

84
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: are going to play at the next level. And then

85
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: from a team building perspective, we went from working for

86
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: one team to being able to think about thirty two

87
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: different teams and how thirty two different teams can put

88
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the pieces of the puzzle together and have winning formulas.

89
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: And some of their ways or their approaches are.

90
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Vastly different, but it doesn't mean you can't get to

91
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the same destination.

92
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: So I love that.

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I think both of us are critical thinkers with growth

94
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: mindsets where we like hearing about the new things.

95
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: That are coming down the pipeline.

96
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: When it comes to discounting business, and I'll say this, DJ, like,

97
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: one thing is to do it. Another thing is to

98
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: have so many young people that come to you and

99
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: ask how to get in and to be able to share.

100
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: I think that's what it's about.

101
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: It's about giving back because I know when you and

102
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: I were both young scouts, we had older scouts.

103
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: That they gave us.

104
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: So I feel it's my duty to give back to

105
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: those uh, those new guys because I hope that they

106
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: pay it for it as well.

107
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: No doubt I. By the way, this is a longer

108
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: discussion for another day. But I don't know if you've

109
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: seen this over the last week, but Adam Grant, who's

110
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: written some incredible books that you know I've enjoyed reading

111
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: over the years, including Hidden Potential, which is one of

112
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: my favorites. Think again, it is a good one. But

113
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: he's fantastic, and he is on this kick right now

114
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: talking about the need to remove laptops from classroom and

115
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: all these experiments that show you learn more and get

116
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's

117
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: not just because they're less distracted. Writing enables deeper processing

118
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: and more images. Depend is truly mightier than the keyboard.

119
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about that, and I'm like, we

120
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: were just talking about this the other day. How when

121
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: we're watching, we're taking notes and notebooks and filling them up.

122
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: And man, maybe I know, like from a teaching standpoint

123
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: and coaching standpoint, now we're doing all the visual stuff

124
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: for these guys to see and learn. But man, I

125
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: still think if I was involved in on the scouting

126
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: side of things, I still like to have a notebook

127
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: in the player in our scouts hands well one ndred

128
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: percent of DJ I still believe in that.

129
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, the journey to the media world

130
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: came from a love of writing that developed during the

131
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: scouting process. Like didn't really write a ton until you

132
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: start scouting and you realize that, whoa, we got to

133
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: do a lot of writing. You have to put it together.

134
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: You have to learn how to make the words come

135
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: to life, and then taking the adventure first as a

136
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: writer and then into this media world.

137
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: It's the basis of very And I would tell young scouts, man,

138
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: you really need.

139
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: To master that skill, because the better you write the

140
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: better you're going to present it all.

141
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: Is, but the writing is the foundation.

142
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: So if you can master that part of it, not

143
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: only with your note taking but in your report writing,

144
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: it's only going to make you better when it comes

145
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: time to stand in front of the room, to be

146
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: able to argue your points, to be able to talk.

147
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: About players and how they're going to project in those things.

148
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: I just think it's such an effective tool to teach

149
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: you to be an A plus communicator.

150
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And again, like when you actually do

151
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: the report for the team, if you need to do that,

152
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: and we talked about the Jags and you want to

153
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: do emojis and bullet points those things, that's all good.

154
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: But to me, when you're watching players, I still think

155
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: there's value in writing it down. I think you're going

156
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: to remember the player better. You're going to have a

157
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: more complete picture of them instead of just things getting

158
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: taken a little out of context if you're just trying

159
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: to type into a keyboard. Little man.

160
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm big on that DJ. I am big on journaling.

161
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: I think people should, like scouts should.

162
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Journal those things.

163
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: And our buddy John Gordon has a great reflective process

164
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: where he talks about what went well, what needs to improve?

165
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: What did you learn? I think that it's so applicable

166
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: when it comes down to the scouting process.

167
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: We still are having conversations about Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold,

168
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and the things that we've learned from those evaluations,

169
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: but not only those initial evaluations, but.

170
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: How guys grow and improve.

171
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I just saw Josh Allen get his jersey retired at Wyoming,

172
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: and I think about going to Boise to see him

173
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: in the Potato Bowl and what the thought was because

174
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: he was such a polarizing or follow the prospect, but

175
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: to see him grow in those things, and how when

176
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: you have those experiences, he changes how you look at

177
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: future players. I just think the greatest scouts are the

178
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: ones that are ever evolving, and writing and journaling is

179
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: all a big part of continue to grow along this ride.

180
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's fun. It's a fun topic, you know,

181
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: as we're kind of looking and learning and trying to

182
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: improve and get better. Sometimes old as new, you know,

183
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: like doing things the old school, whether it's still value

184
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: in that. I saw a thing I think it was

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: landing with Organ talking about how each week he has

186
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: his players, this self assessment. Do you do the same thing. Yeah, hey,

187
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: what do you learn it from? You? I learned genius.

188
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: I'd never heard that before. It's smart.

189
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't And it's funny. It coincided with a loss.

190
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: We just lost to a league opponent. I didn't feel

191
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: like I did a really good job of preparing us,

192
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: and that video comes across Twitter and it made me reflect.

193
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: And what I did is that we have this Communication

194
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: Advice an app where we send it all to the

195
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: team and DJ.

196
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: The response is that you get back from each player.

197
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: It's illuminating because then you're like, oh, I thought it

198
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: was this, but actually they're telling me, coach, we need

199
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: more of this.

200
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: And the feedback is everything.

201
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: And you know, like in our business when you were scouting,

202
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: you constantly got feedback either from the director, the general manager, whatever.

203
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: That feedback is essential to you grow.

204
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, when you talk Dan Lanning being able to

205
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: do that, I appreciate coaches that are willing to grow

206
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: and have a different approach to maybe their predecessors. Lanning

207
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: is one of those guys just at the front end

208
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: of challenging himself to be better each and every day.

209
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: As a result, his teams are always better.

210
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: No doubt. That's good stuff, man, fun little topic there

211
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: before we get into these games. And as we do that,

212
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: I want to remind you the NFL continues to honor

213
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: and commemorate the late John Madden with the fourth annual

214
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration Thursday, November twenty seventh. That's here.

215
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: New this year, the NFL will benefit the newly created

216
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: John Madden Foundation by auctioning off game used items from

217
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: the three Thanksgiving Day games via NFL Auction, with proceeds

218
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: supporting the new foundation. So very cool how they're doing

219
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: that as we look at this slate of games, but

220
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: let's let's jump into it here. We got four games

221
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: to get into. Packers Lions. Huge game here, Packers seven

222
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: three and one, Alliance seven and four. What are you

223
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: looking forward to that?

224
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how do the Lions

225
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: compartmentalize their emotions and really focus on execution the emotions

226
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: from getting beat down, beating pillar to posts as you

227
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: guys talked about in their first matchup, how do they

228
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: handle it and what I call a big stage game

229
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Thursday Thanksgiving. Everyone is watching Dan Campbell taking over the

230
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: play calling. Can you resist the urge to put on

231
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: a show, to put this team in the best position

232
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: to operate offensively, and then can this defense continue to

233
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: get better against the Packers team I still believe has

234
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: not played their best football yet, so you wait for

235
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: them explode. So I want to see how the Lions

236
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: handle all of those emotions against the division rival that

237
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: they need to get one back again.

238
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I'm looking for one word speed.

239
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: I want to see how the speed of this Green

240
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: Bay Packers defense matches up with the Jamier Gibbs and

241
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: the Jamison Williams on the other side of the ball

242
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: with the Detroit Lions. If you really look at it,

243
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: how they built this team with the trade of Michael

244
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: Parsons and how they've drafted the last couple years. People

245
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: talk about the physicality of Detroit, how physical they are,

246
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: but really the damage that those are the body blows,

247
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: it's the knockout punches with the explosiveness. Really, Jamior Gibbs

248
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: being number one on that list, and this Packers defense

249
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: has been built to combat that speed with probably the

250
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: fastest front seven in the NFL.

251
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Super fast Michael Parsons gives them a tremendous amount of

252
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: disruption at the point of attack. I saw the note

253
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: that came up twenty eight quarterback pressures, which is ridiculous.

254
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: And it's coming on a.

255
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Week where Michael Parsons talked about ten sacks being the

256
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: floor that he thinks a great player ten sacks should

257
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: be the minimum in terms of what he should be.

258
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: Able to do.

259
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: I think that is great that a dominant player has

260
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: standards like that, because that's what you want to see

261
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: because if he is pushing himself to always make sure

262
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: a man I at least got to get ten and

263
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: am I shooting for ten? It means I'm gonna get

264
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: twelve to fourteen, which allows the other guys to have

265
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: impactful players.

266
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: Devonte, Why you think.

267
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: About what Richhard Geary has been able to do and

268
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: this is a fast at front, but hey man, your

269
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: eyes have to go to number one when you're doing

270
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: the scouting report. You got to take care of number one.

271
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: If not, he will single handedly beat you on defense. Yeah,

272
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: this is going to be his first big stage. How

273
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: about he goes from one Thanksgiving team, the Cowboys, to

274
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: another Thanksgiving team here in this game, going up against

275
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions with the Green Bay Packers, so it

276
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: doesn't get the holiday off here for Micah Parsons. But

277
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that ball game, and I think

278
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: that's the key to the game. If they can limit

279
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: the explosives from Detroit, make them play station to station

280
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: as we talk about with baseball, I think the Packers

281
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: have a good chance of going in there and getting one.

282
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: But really looking forward to that game that is at

283
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: one o'clock Eastern on Fox. We get to the four

284
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: thirty game on CBS that is Chiefs Cowboys, a massive game.

285
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: I've been using the line it's kind of a loser

286
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: leave town match. Can't afford for either one of these

287
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: teams will lose this ballgame.

288
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: No, you can't affoord it.

289
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: And you just think about the stakes being magnified on

290
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Turkey Day, just everything that comes with it, like what

291
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: we want to see, how you want to see this

292
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: thing go down?

293
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: I love it, man, I love these games.

294
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: DJ I'm not gonna lie like I love getting to

295
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving because from this point on, every game that is

296
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: played matters. I love seeing these matchups.

297
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to that. We'll see no trace Smith,

298
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: which is not great when you're down a guard and

299
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: you're going up against that D line all of a sudden.

300
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: Now with the Dallas Cowboys, they can throw at you.

301
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: That's going to be a key to the ball game

302
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: is how do they protect Patrick Mahomes offense started to

303
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: find itself a little bit. Ran a bazillion plays last

304
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: week in some of the ages some of those players

305
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: will see. How how you know on the road short week,

306
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: a lot of plays last week I think over ninety plays.

307
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: How fresh leged did the Kansas City Chiefs look offensively? Yeah,

308
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: So here's the thing about the Chiefs.

309
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: I think they talked about Isaiah Pacheco maybe coming back

310
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: to one thing that I worry about the Chiefs is

311
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: the lack of balance that they have in their office.

312
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: We've talked about and we'll continue to talk about to

313
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: be a theme in the offseason. How they need an

314
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: A plus back to alleviate some of the pressure on

315
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes in the passing game. But down this stretch

316
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: when teams are going to play coverage heavy, how are

317
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: they going to manufacture the exposive plays In the past,

318
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: most recently has been Pat Mahomes extending plays and waiting

319
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: for someone to shake free from coverage and then they

320
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: get an explosive. But if the Cowboys are disciplined and

321
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: they're not able to get those improvisational plays, how are

322
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs going to manufacture those explosives to score points?

323
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Because you know what we talk about it, Brian Billick

324
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: used to talk about the explosive plays and how it

325
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: correlates to scoring points.

326
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: If the Chiefs can't deliver those explosives, it is hard

327
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: for them the light of a scoreboard. Yeah, and I

328
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: also would say Mahomes being able to run around, that's

329
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: going to be a nice addition or to what they're

330
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: trying to do offensively. It's going to need to be

331
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: additioned as it was earlier in the season. So keep

332
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: an eye on that in that ball game, all right,

333
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, he's back buck Bengals at the Ravens. That's

334
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: the night game on NBC eight twenty on Thanksgiving Night.

335
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: So just as you're getting that nice little for me,

336
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: it's a Hawaiian role. Maybe a little turkey, maybe a

337
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: little cam going back, a little gravy there, a little

338
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: something to top off the night. Yeah, some of the

339
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: top off the night.

340
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie DJ because probably about the second half,

341
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the Cowboys game, maybe a little

342
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: look't have time for me, so I can get up

343
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: and get my energy back for this game. This is

344
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: gonna be great because I understand with Joe Burrow. He

345
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: knows this is the last hurrah. They have got to

346
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: do something remarkable to get their sales into the postseason.

347
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: So if he.

348
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: Plays and like we expect him to play, man they're

349
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: going to push and test the Baltimore Ravens. I will

350
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: say this, because the Ravens have reeled off a five

351
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: game win streak, people are beginning to see them as

352
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: the team being back. This is gonna be a big

353
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: challenge for them because defensively, they're now going to be tested.

354
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: We'll find out so much more.

355
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: About the defense and the improvements that they made with

356
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: how they perform.

357
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: Against the Cincinnati Bengals offense. That's explosive. Yeah, what do

358
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: you think about Burrow coming back? I agree with what

359
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: he said. He's like, I'm a football player. If I'm

360
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: healthy enough to play, I'm gonna play. Even if the

361
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: season might have got away from him a little bit.

362
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: He's not gonna punt on the season and take the

363
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: rest of the year off. So I like the fact

364
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: that he's playing this ball game. He's a professional. That's

365
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: what professionals should do.

366
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: But more importantly, franchise quarterbacks, you got to take the

367
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: ball every week that your health. I mean, that's just

368
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: the expectation DJ when we talk about the quarterback, and

369
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot of different physical characteristics and

370
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: traits and those things, but there's a toughness that we

371
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: expect from our quarterback. You saw it for years with

372
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the charges with Philip Rivers. It doesn't matter what is

373
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: going on when they call out the starting lineup, seventeen

374
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: is there. I think the same thing post true for

375
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in anybody else that we deem to be

376
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. If they're kicking it off, I expect

377
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: to see QB one playing.

378
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: I don't think we've seen the best of Lamar Jackson

379
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: at either, and I think there's a chance against this

380
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: Bengals defense that that's what we get to me. I

381
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: think Baltimore had to steady everything. They had to kind

382
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: of get back on solid ground, which they've done. They're

383
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: now back in first place. They haven't really hit their

384
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: stride yet and it feels like to me, matchup wise,

385
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: they're gonna pump thirty on the Bengals. Man, that's the

386
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: low number in this game for the Ravens, short weekend

387
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: against that defense. They're getting thirty in this game.

388
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they need to continue around in the form

389
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: because when you look at their schedule, Man, they can

390
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: really make a run. And we talked about all the

391
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: things at the beginning. They could finish with the kind

392
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: of record that we expect them to have. Anyway, Yeah,

393
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: they need to put it up. They need to hang

394
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: in number. But if they hang a number, can they

395
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: permit the Bengals from also hanging a number. That's what

396
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: I want to see. That's the thing that we haven't

397
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: seen from the Ravens. We haven't seen them challenge by

398
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: an offense that have high power capability, elite explosiveness. We

399
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: haven't seen them that. So I want to measure their

400
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: growth in a game against a team like this. All Right,

401
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: the best game of all these is the Black Friday game.

402
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: It's Bears Eagles, both teams eight and three.

403
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: To me, if the Bears can block the Eagles like

404
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: the Cowboys block the Eagles, Bears, can they can win

405
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: this game. Man. I know that people talk about their schedule,

406
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: but if their offensive line holds up, I think they've

407
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: got a good shot in this game on the road

408
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 2: at Philly.

409
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, two weeks in a hour. I felt like the

410
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game last week was huge for the Bears. I

411
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: feel like that was a respect game where people had

412
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: to kind of start raising their eyebrow like, hey, maybe

413
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: they are they pulled this one off. Now we begin

414
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: to have the discussion about them being a contender, a

415
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: legitimate contendent despite the flaws that the Eagles have or

416
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: the infighting in those things.

417
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: At the Bears pull this off, you have to respect him.

418
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: And Ben Johnson has done a terrific job of helping

419
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams play better.

420
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: They have balance on the offense.

421
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: That they needed the Dennis Allen in this turnover websess defense.

422
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: That's where you have to really give them a lot

423
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: of credit. They take the ball away at an alarming rate,

424
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: and they're going to challenge the Eagles, who traditionally take

425
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: really good care of.

426
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: The ball with Jaana Hurts. Yeah, we'll see how that

427
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: one goes down. Looking forward to that matchup, to me,

428
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: the best one. We'll have a chance to recap all

429
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: these next week as we come back on the show.

430
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: I do want to again rush everybody happy. Thanksgivin. Thank
