1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on everybody? Great to be back here 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: with you. Want to move the sticks Monday time? Lewis 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: here with our former NFL scouts Leadraft, Daniels, Daniel Jeremiah, 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. Ready to rock and roll here, guys, Were 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: you into drama this weekend because we had a record 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: setting day? I feel like on both sides of the spectrum, 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: justin Tucker, justin Fields and the sacks. Yes, it was. Indeed. 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: Let's kick this thing off kind of like we have 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: been on Monday's for the last couple of years with 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: some of our biggest takeaways from the biggest games. Let's 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: get it rolling with our big three here this Monday, 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: and we'll start with the marquee game of the week, 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: Bucks and Rams right next door. It's so far explosive 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: plays again, a keep of the Rams offense exploiting the 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: Bucks defense down the field. Matthew Stafford two more vertical 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: throat touchdowns in this game, including that seventy five yarder 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: than this Sean Jackson, giving staff six for the season 18 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: so far. Already as many vertical throw touchdowns for Stafford 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: right now as Jared Goff had all season last year 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: for the Rams, they win comfortably, and you look at 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: Stafford just total tds. He's got nine right now, as 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: many as Kurt Warner did last time they won the 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl back in nine and then in his other 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: m v PC's and Warner at eighth and oh one 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: when they ended up losing the Super Bowl to the Patriots. 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: So it's been a record setting start for Matthew Stafford 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: in the Rams. How do you judge DJ the early 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: returns after all that was builed from this Stafford McVeigh relationship. Well, 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. I was harkening back to 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: my days as young kid when you go to the 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: amusement park and you get there, you're all excited. Then 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: you realize, wait a second, space mountains closed today, Like 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: we can't ride that ride. All of the rides are 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: open in the Sean McVeigh offense right now, they can 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: do whatever they fight Max. Absolutely, you are talking about 36 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: you can ride everything. The rides are all open. But 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: pushing the ball vertically down the field. It's added a 38 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: new element to this offense. And really, when I watch 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: the tape, I'm looking at the three ds. We talked 40 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: about the three p's before Buck. It was the three ds, 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: the design, the ability to defeat coverage with these whiteouts 42 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: can do specifically Cooper Cup underneath and Deshan Jackson over 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: the top, and then deliver the ball accurately when they've 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: got that rolling. Good luck stopping him, Yeah, good luck 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: stopping him. Because the quarterback is one of the guys 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: that every offensive coordinator would want because he can make 47 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: the X and os come to life, meaning anything that 48 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: you creatively dropped on the whiteboard. He has a quarterback 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: that can get it done. And when you think about 50 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford in this connection that he has with Deshan Jackson, 51 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: it is phenomenal because de Sean Jackson been in the 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: league for well over a decade, but yet time after 53 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: time he continued to deliver these big plays. That explosive 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: element has opened it up for Van Jefferson and Cooper 55 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: Cup and some of the other guys. Yeah, can we 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: just yeah, here we go. Just I wish I want 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: everybody just want to sit back for a minute, just 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: just take a second and just just relax and appreciate 59 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: the route running clinic that my man, Cooper Cup put 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: on yet again this season. I just want to just 61 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: sit back and breathe it in a little bit because 62 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: it has been phenomenal to watch. In fact, Cooper Cup 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: is now on is now exceeding the paste, the record 64 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: setting paste that Randy Moss and the Patriots put up 65 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: in OH seven. He's the first players since Moss with 66 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: three fifty plus receiving yards and five or more receiving 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns through his team's first three games. And we talk 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: a lot about the cliches like O receiver and quarterback 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: putting in the time together, you know, preparing. If you 70 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: don't watch a Rams practice he did during training camp, 71 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: they were like hip to hip always and they are 72 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: putting in the time and clearly seeing the fruits of 73 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: their labor with their connections so far this season, huge 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: piece of the Rams offensive success. All right, let's keep 75 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: the big three rolling here with game number two, and 76 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: for that we're gonna head back to Sunday night football 77 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: in Santa Clara. Packers jumped on the forty Niners in 78 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: a hurry on Sunday Night. Up seventeen nothing. Niners didn't 79 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: score their first points of the game until the final 80 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: snap of the first half, when Trey Lance got in 81 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: the end zone from a yard out one of just 82 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: two snaps by the way for the rookie QB Jimmy 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Garocolo did engineer go ahead touchdown drive with just about 84 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: thirty seven seconds remaining, but apparently that was too much 85 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: time for Aaron Rodgers got them in position for a 86 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: fifty one yard game winner from Mason Crosby as time expired. 87 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan said after the game when asked, did you 88 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: feel like you were worried there um that you left 89 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: too much time for Aaron Rodgers, he was like, yes, 90 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: I was worried. You're always worried with that guy on 91 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 1: the sideline. So uh DJ would impress you most about 92 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: what Rogers was able to do this week, Well, to me, 93 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: it was being selectively aggressive. In other words, when you 94 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: have your opportunities and you need to push the ball 95 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: down the field. We saw, especially there at the end, 96 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: he was able to do that. But otherwise, just let 97 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: the game come to you, take the easy completions, make 98 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: those you know, somewhat boring throws that are out there, 99 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: and he did that, but buck when it was time 100 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: to let it rip at the end of the game, 101 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: when you need two big completions, huge chunk plays, to 102 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: give yourself a chance to make it happen. That's when 103 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is one of the few guys that can 104 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: do that. They're just not many of those guys in 105 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: this league. No, there's not many guys who can do that. 106 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: And what I love about, uh, what Aaron Rodgers was 107 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: able to do at the end of the day, he said, look, 108 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to my best player. You know where it's going. 109 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: I know where it's going, and I'm gonna find a 110 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: way to make it a net throw that he The 111 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: first completion on that two minute drive was an absolute dime, 112 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: dropped it over top of Frey Warner. Then he comes 113 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: back flips and formation hits another square. In the fact 114 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: that Devanta Adams has two olve receptions. Everyone knows he's 115 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: a no more receiver and the secondary, the complimented receiver, 116 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: is so noticeably below him. I am surprised that each 117 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: and every week that Davanta Adams is able to have 118 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: the success against teams that know that he's getting it, 119 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: but he still can't show find what I know. Look, 120 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: we got places to go on the show, but baffling 121 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: coverage choices on those final two plays, I mean, what 122 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: they were you've got it to me, it's two man, 123 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna trail underneath Davanta Adams. He was cut free 124 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: on the first one. On the second one, they're matched 125 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: up man everywhere else except on his side of the field. 126 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: Didn't make any sense to me. They were short on 127 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: corners in this game. To Josh Norman left into the 128 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: first half, came on Williams left as well, and they 129 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: already had Jason Barrett, who who's out for the season 130 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: now too, So definitely Thinn at cornerback. I was really 131 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: surprised at the lack of volume in the run game 132 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: by the forty Niners. Remember in these matchups before, the 133 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: forty Niners just dominated running the ball up and down 134 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: the field on the Packers, and in this game, you 135 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: look they're depleted at the running back spot two with 136 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: with he mostred out with their best runner was holding 137 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: a clipboard. We've been arguing on the field, you want 138 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: to spark that run game, You've got some way that 139 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: could get that done well. And maybe one of the 140 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: reasons Kenny Clark was an absolute mismatch in this game 141 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: in the center that Packers the defensive line knocked Alex 142 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: Mack back into the backfield a couple of different occasions. Still, 143 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: ten carries thirty one yards or trade sermon wasn't particularly impressive. 144 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: I am kind of curious, though, in the coaching staff 145 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: with this, When there's so much familiarity here, right with Matt, 146 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: with Matt la Floor and with Shanahan, and even with 147 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: Joe Barry now Bucky running this defense for the Packers, 148 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: you feel like that maybe had an impact here at all. Well, 149 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: I think so. I think because Joe Berry spent a 150 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: lot of time with Sean McVeigh and the Rams, and 151 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: so every day and price you got a chance to 152 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: see this fence work. He's got to see what gives 153 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: the problems, how it cars up teams. He saw it 154 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: in game day, and so because of that, he's able 155 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: to take all that experience. And they are facing Shanahan, 156 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: who shambe and a lot of these guys learned the 157 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: offense from He's able to apply those lessons. It was 158 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: a very impressive performance for the Green Bay package, one 159 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: that I don't know if many of us thought that 160 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: they would be able to slow down to run game 161 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: like that. I also thought that this just kind of 162 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: crystallizes what we were saying before the draft, why did 163 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 1: the forty Niners make the decision to draft Tree Lance? 164 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: Because when you have Jimmy Garoppolo high floor, I get 165 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: that you've got a very high floor, but the ceiling, 166 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: you're banging your head on that ceiling. Now, Trey Lance, 167 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: you might have to live with some You're gonna have 168 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: some weeks you're not gonna love it, but the ceiling 169 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: to compete against the elite teams like the Packers, who 170 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: they're going to see in the postseason. I just think 171 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: Trey Lance gives you more potential with what this offense 172 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: can be. Just two snaps in this game, Um yeah, 173 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: So let's see if that increases here. Moving forward for 174 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: the forty Niners final game of art Big Three, let's 175 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: go to Minneapolis. Vikings probably should have had win number 176 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: one of the season last week and a makable field 177 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: goal miss for a win against Arizona. Well, it was 178 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: clear that Kirk Cousins was not going to leave it 179 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: to the kicker this week. Absolutely phenomenal performance, surgical cutting 180 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: up that Hawks defense. Three twenty three yards and three 181 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: touchdowns through the air, all without the threat of Dalvin 182 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: Cook on the ground. He was inactive, Alexander Madison shouldering 183 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: the load on the ground. Thirties and seventeen the final, 184 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota gets win number one. DJ kirk Cousins is rolling. Yeah. Look, 185 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: we've seen kirk Cousins have moments, right. I would put 186 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: this game tape up against any of that. I've write 187 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: up this as well as I've seen Hi play. He 188 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: was outstanding. It was the timing, was the ball placement 189 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: back foot, ball is gone. Uh. There was an inbreaker 190 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: for a touchdown in this game, which is as good 191 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: a throw as you're gonna see it. That was back 192 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: foot as he's coming out of the great break. Buck 193 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: put it right on his face mask. I thought to me, 194 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: the vision that he had evenways under a little bit 195 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: of pressure, not too much, but his field vision stood out. 196 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: He knew exactly where to go with the football. Yeah, 197 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: and going to Justin Jefferson was a great move in 198 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: this one. Did you see him? I mean, that's wide open. 199 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: How does the guy who caught fourteen hundred yards of 200 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: receiving last year and was arguably one of the rookies 201 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: of the year h end up that wide opening the scheme? 202 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I thought with Clint Kubiak now with Cousins. Man, they're 203 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: in lockstep right now, but they were in lockstep. And 204 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: what I liked about it, this was a game where 205 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: they were almost fifty fifty balanced in terms of run 206 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: pass ratio thirty eight pass attempts thirty or four rush attempts. 207 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: Did a great job of using that complimentary run play 208 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: action part of it, and alex and and Madison coming 209 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: off having a hundred plus yards that allowed them to 210 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: set the table and dictate the terms. And this is 211 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: a team that when they play this way, they're very 212 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: difficult to be because they can play keepaway, keep that 213 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: veteran laden defense on the sideline, and allow those guys 214 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: to close out games on the fourth quarter, which is 215 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: what they we were doing against the Yeah, and look, 216 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean justin Jefferson, as I mentioned, wide open six 217 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,359 Speaker 1: of his catches, he had three or more yards of separation. 218 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: Some of that was scheme, some of that was they 219 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: just beating up on the Seattle corners a little bit. 220 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: And look, that's not the only place where they look 221 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: different this year on offense as well, just seven points 222 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: in each of the last two second half. Yeah, this 223 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: it's a big problem. And part of this is Shane Waldron, 224 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: the new officive coordinator, came over from the Rams. First 225 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: time played called trying to figure it out, trying to 226 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: figure out a of the pieces. So well, the CX 227 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: have been good at They've been good at coming out 228 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: the box putting points on the board. That's because it 229 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: coincides with their opening script. The issue that you have 230 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: is once you get off the script, you get into 231 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: now you kind of freestyle calling game calling the game. 232 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: Do you have enough in your bag to make adjustments? 233 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Can you see what the defense is doing and figure 234 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: out how to attack maybe a changing tactic. Can you 235 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get your playmakers going Tyler 236 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Locket and DK Metcalf and Russell Wilson do you have 237 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: plays for that? So as he continues to gain more 238 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: experience and expertise with this set of players, he'll get better. 239 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: But they have to be better in the second half. Well, 240 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: a couple of things. Number One, I'm gonna bet on 241 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to figure any things out. 242 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: They always do. Whatever struggles they have earlier they figured out. 243 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: And John Schneider has shown in the past if this 244 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: roster has an issue, he's not afraid in season to 245 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: be aggressive and go get some help. Yeah, it's just 246 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: last year they started out hot and then kind of 247 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: trailed off before ultimately winning the division. The Chargers opportunistic 248 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: in this game, both on defense and on offense, turning 249 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: four Chiefs turnovers into twenty one points, including fourteen points 250 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: in the first half alone that gave them the lead 251 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: at the break. Chiefs would make this a game in 252 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: the second half. But here's Justin Herbert and Brandon Staley 253 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: on the win. It means everything to us. Um. You know, 254 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: we were so hard ever since this offseason and all 255 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: the time that we've spent together to be put into 256 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: this position for these exact moments. And we've got the 257 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: right guys out there, and I know that Coach Staley 258 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: believes in us, Coach Joe Lombardi believes in us, and 259 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and for us to go back out there on fourth 260 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: and nine to win the game, that's that's awesome for us. 261 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: Unfortunate we have a you know, a gangster quarterback, um, 262 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: but we got a coach better and that and that, 263 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: um and that part of it, but just the situational party, 264 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: it happens like this first great teams and that's a 265 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: great team that we just played. So it's had to 266 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: finish these types of games. You gotta play well at 267 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: the end, and I felt like we did that today. 268 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: Gangster quarterback there all right, brand Staley like it was 269 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: a pretty good description. I mean, Herbert absolutely gets done. 270 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: And let's start though with this game. And uh, look, 271 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers defensive game plan really seemed to work, especially 272 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: in that first half. What were they doing differently to 273 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes And maybe other teams haven't done well. You've 274 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: seen some of the teams try and do this, but 275 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: the Chargers executed it beautifully. And talking to Brandon's Daily 276 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: before this game, he was very confident they had a 277 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: very good plan. And it wasn't just parking those two 278 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: safeties high and trying to put a lid on things 279 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: and keep things in front of you. It was having 280 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: a plan in the back end. Other teams have tried that, 281 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: but I thought they did a wonderful job with their plan. 282 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: With their rush, they did not get caught up field 283 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: but maybe once or twice, one of which Mahomes had 284 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: the no look which ended up being an interception, but 285 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: they did not allow him to be able to run 286 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: up into the pocket, shoulders square to the line of 287 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: scrimmage and be able to access the whole field. When 288 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: he extended plays he was rolling to the right, he 289 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: was rolling to the left. The Chargers have speeded linebacker. 290 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Now they have guys that can mirror and close with 291 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: Kaiser White and Drew Tranquil and company. I just thought 292 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: it was a masterful game plan forcing them to be 293 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: patient because when you look at it that Let me 294 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: just go through their possessions in the first half. On 295 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: the tenth play, it was an interception, fifth play, a fumble, 296 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: six play fumble. They get all the way down second 297 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: and five down inside the red zone. They have a penalty, 298 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: um a field goal. Uh sorry, field goal was on 299 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: you know where they stopped with at the false starts. 300 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: So they're just waiting for you to make that one 301 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: play mistake and the Chiefs that's what they what they did. 302 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: You know what I love about the game plan. You 303 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: talked about parking the safeties in the parking lot and 304 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: taking away the deep ball, where one of the things 305 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: you want to do against Andy Reid and with Patrick Mahomes, 306 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: you want to take away the big plays. When you 307 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: take away the big plays and forced them to play 308 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: a very discipline game. Sometimes you grow impatient and tired 309 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: of trying to be a discipline quarterback. And what we 310 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: saw from Patrick Mahomes what we've seen the last couple 311 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: of weeks. He is now giving the ball to the 312 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: other team. And when you factored that in and Clyde, 313 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: it was a large and tyreek hill that other guys 314 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: not taking care of the ball. The game plan gives 315 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to feast on those extra plays and 316 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: you we said, we've talked about it ten or more 317 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: plays in the drive. The odds begin to work against 318 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: being able to finish the drive. The Charges put together 319 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: a great game play and it gets a team that 320 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: is exposed to his one that we've seen. At the 321 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: end of the day, he still need thirty to be 322 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We've said, you got to score thirty, and 323 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the Charges were able to get there. Justin Herbert was outstanding. 324 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: You saw the aggressiveness with the play call to go 325 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: for it on fourth and nine, showing the belief and 326 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: his gangster quarterback, which which begs the question is so 327 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: fi a gangster's paradise? But to me, they were able 328 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: to match and make those big plays and big throws. 329 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: Mike Williams. They've talked about him in this offense, the 330 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: offense at the Saints and run with coach Lombardi, and 331 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: you look at what Michael Thomas did, and before the 332 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: season we said, Okay, that's gonna be Mike Williams is delivering. 333 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: He is delivering big time. Mike Williams is off to 334 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: a tourid start to the season, absolutely phenomenal here, including 335 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns in this win for the Chargers. 336 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: Now let's get to the chief side of things here. 337 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: We're talking about the last place team in the a 338 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: f C West through week three here. Last time we 339 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: saw that was week six two thousand and fifteen. Patrick 340 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: Mahomes wasn't even a Chief yet at that point. Uh, 341 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: this is the last time they had a losing record 342 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: also that season and then consecutive losses. Haven't seen that 343 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: since two thousand in nineteen and so now I feel 344 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: like we need to take the chiefs end of the 345 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: body ship. We need to We need to just kind 346 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: of roll it the sleeves here a little bit that 347 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: it was not Shoot, okay, well, already got one. I'll 348 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: just leave it one. All right, So let's start with 349 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: the turnovers, Bucky, because that is the glaring problem in 350 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: this game. Four of them, three in the first half. 351 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: They're not gonna have that every game. But how did 352 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: that factory in this week? When there's a level of 353 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: nonchalance and athletic air against death surrounds the kan City Chiefs. 354 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: Because they've been a dominant team, they've won a ton 355 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: of games. Uh, they kind of expect to roll out 356 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: the balls and be able to deliver a w And 357 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: what you saw from this team is their carelessness, and 358 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: their recklessness has led the turnovers. And now because they're 359 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: getting beat because of their turnovers and because of some 360 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: of the bonet plays that they're making, Andy Reid has 361 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: to step in and down it back. And so this 362 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: has to be a situation where on the practice field 363 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: Andy Reid and his coaching staff they're really harping on 364 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: the details, making sure that the guys pay attention to 365 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: the details. You can't have no look passes and all 366 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: the other stuff. It's cute when it works, but it's 367 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: detrimental when you have a ridzone turnover. They just need 368 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: to get back to playing discipline football. When they played 369 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: with discipline, they put up a lot of points and 370 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: then it's fun all over again against City. Need you 371 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: get Frank Clark back defensively to pair up with Chris Jones. 372 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: That will help that defensive front. But offensively, you touched 373 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: on some of those issues. Bucky holding onto the football 374 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: at the running back position is going to be huge 375 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: if you're gonna have to sustain drives, you know every 376 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: single time they're gonna be punching at that ball. That's 377 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. Clyde Edwards Lair had big 378 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: fumbles and I would look at at that running back 379 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: position specifically in the off season. I'm not gonna be 380 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: able to do it now, but because they see so 381 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: many light boxes, to me, it makes sense. Go get 382 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: you a track star back there at the running back 383 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: position because there's nothing but space. Let's turn these five 384 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: eight ten yard runs into yard runs and see if 385 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: you can't scare teams out of those two high safety 386 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: looks that they're gonna see each and every week this year. 387 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: Yet try to c TN kind of feels like a 388 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: guy that would have fit that bill for this year. 389 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: I was going back, was like I was just going 390 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: old school, like Chris Johnson was in this in this system. 391 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: That's good. But look going back to that no look past, 392 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: Like we all everyone understands we love the no look 393 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: stuff and the off plat for all the stuff that 394 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes does. But he didn't need it there. But 395 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: do you need it when I know I don't know 396 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: if whop I know he does. Let's I'll talk to you, 397 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: buck um. When you when you go no look in 398 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: the middle of a play, when you've got a defender 399 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: there and there's a point to it, when you're on 400 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: a two on none fast break, the no look past 401 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: serves absolutely no purpose. There's nobody in the middle. Let 402 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: me by himself. There's no need for it. It It just 403 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: it was necessary. Like who are you trying to Who 404 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: are you trying to fool? I don't know the fool, 405 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: no one to fool. But if it works, man, you see, 406 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: I spec tact. There was there was a lot of 407 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: room there. Like I don't know if you've been like 408 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: it's been a while since I've played a little basketball, 409 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: but you know, you a little fast break every now 410 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: and then you gotta break three on when you get 411 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: like a little kid, a little fourteen give them a 412 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: no look, just to do you run up stage right? Yeah, alright, 413 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: no more of a chess pass, guy, I've got you 414 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: more than soccer here, No, no flash, no pozzas. Oh boy, 415 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: let's go. I got my sleeves rolled up. I was 416 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: ready gonna work you guys, alright and now here on 417 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: this move the sticks. Monday time for one of our 418 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: favorite segments. It is the Elite eight, where we are 419 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: going to kind of give you eight different looks at 420 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: the Sunday that was all under the umbrella of a 421 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: common theme. Right, Louis Daniel, Jeremiah Bucky Brooks back here 422 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: with you this week's theme and cue the person sliding 423 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: across the floor here in front of the camera is 424 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: risky business, okay, no tom okay, all right, risky business. Right, 425 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: So maybe risks that paid off, maybe those that didn't. 426 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: Let's start with one that you kind of had to 427 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: take if you were Baltimore here, DJ. Yeah, we say, 428 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, you want to put 429 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: the ball in the hands of your best player or feet, 430 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: apparently because the Baltimore Rave and selecting to go for 431 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: a sixty six yard field goal instead of trying to 432 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: chuck a Hill, Mary and Justin Tucker with a little 433 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: assistance here from the crossbar is able to get it through. 434 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: I like it. You want to end the game with 435 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: your best guy out there. That was your best shot. 436 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: As crazy as fans for sixty six yards, take the risk, 437 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: and they're in good business. I was their Lions fans 438 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: like I must have been like six seven years ago now. 439 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: Tucker kicked the sixty one yarder on a Monday night 440 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: that effectively ended any hopes of the Lions playoff run 441 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: that year. Al Right on the flip side, a long 442 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: field goal that did not quite work out down in 443 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Cardinals into the first half, kicking a sixty eight 444 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: yarder from Matt Prader. By the way, he hit a 445 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: sixty two yarder last week, so I get while you 446 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: were trying to go for it and then probably would 447 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: have been good from sixty six. Jamal Agnew is one 448 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: of the best returners in football and showed you why here. Look, 449 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: I don't mind Cliff Kingsbury with the risk here going 450 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: for the field goal, knowing your your kickers got the leg. 451 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: You just gotta cover this better. You've gotta practic this. 452 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: This right, This is a situational football. You gotta cover 453 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: that better. I wish, you know Jaguars would have capitalized 454 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: on that momentum a little bit more. Yeah, No, they 455 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: have to cover that one better. Would have had that, 456 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: by the way, would have knocked it in. So I 457 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: want to go and turn my attention to just thinking 458 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: about Matthew Stafford going to the Rams and how Sean 459 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: McVeigh just made the major move. When you think about 460 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: offensive play called office of mine, thinking about how can 461 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: I get my offense jump started with the easiest way 462 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: to get and upgrade a quarterback. Even though there's some 463 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: skep decision on how much better Matthew Stafford would make 464 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: this offense, I think that has been answered really really quickly. 465 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: This offense is terrific. With Matthew Stafford at the trigger man. 466 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: He gives them something that they didn't have, that's the 467 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: vertical element. And now that you have a vertical element 468 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: to go with this complimentary run game, the skilled wide 469 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: receivers on the outside, it is a handful. It's like 470 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: the greatest show on turf all over again. But man, 471 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: they're doing it in a phenomenal way. I'm looking forward 472 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: to the battle when eventually we see the Rams and 473 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: the Packers. Because Stafford has brought the Lions to that 474 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: battle against the Packers, he's got a little different army 475 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: now coming with the Rams. Look, I'm gonna keep it 476 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: going here. You're talking about decisions or risks. How about 477 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: the Bengals there with that second overall pick when they 478 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: had to decide we want to take a tackle or sorry, 479 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: fifth overall fix, do you want to take a tackle 480 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: or a weapon? They go Jamar Chase to pair him 481 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: back up again with Joe Burrows. Yeah, exactly. Can we 482 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: we stopped worried about the three season a while ago, 483 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: but with that fifth overall pick, he's been outstanding, a 484 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: true number one wide out to go along with a 485 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: very good core. Still upgrades needed along that offensive line. 486 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to get that done. But at the 487 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: end of the day, they chose a weapon over the wall, 488 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: and so far it's been a good, good return. And 489 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: by the way, they are protecting Joe Burrow better this 490 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: season than the numbers are. Still but still, I mean, 491 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: like you saw in this game. Now, given they were 492 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: without Steelers, without t. J. Watt and not coming on 493 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: the flip side of this matchup the other risk reward. 494 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: We kind of talk about it and when we're looking 495 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: at the draft all the time, like are you putting 496 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: the cart before the horse? Right? And Steelers we thought 497 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: might have done that drafting Naji Harris with out knowing 498 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: what their offensive line was really going to come together 499 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: like this year, I think four new starters, right, uh, 500 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: if from the oldest offensive lines to one of the 501 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: youngest exactly. And look, while nag Harris has been terrific, 502 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: particularly in the passing game, how he had as many 503 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: receptions this week as he did carries and has not 504 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: been effective really on the ground. But in this scenario 505 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: where he's catching these little passes out of the backfield, 506 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's working over a hundred yards receiving. Roethlisberger 507 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: is just not air in the ball out down the field. 508 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: These are not socially distant passes. These are in tight No, 509 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: They're not socially distant. And when you look at the 510 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: hits yard of his fifty eight attempts, forty three were 511 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: ten years if you were eighteen were at or behind 512 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. This is small ball. And what 513 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: happens when you put this up there the defense just 514 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: constricts the field. They're squeezing their plate makes they don't 515 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: have enough speed and the wide receiver corps. So one 516 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: of the reasons why Naja Harris is getting all of 517 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: the targets is because he's the only one that can 518 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: get open. They're squatting all of the pis for still 519 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: routes and until Big Man is able to do something 520 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: that's gonna rue game. But one guy who they're respecting 521 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: and they're respecting in Carolina Carolina Sam Donald. Sam Donald's 522 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: playing at a high level because when he has advocates, 523 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: he has people in the building that want to see 524 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: him succeed. They surrounded him with playmakers and weapons, and 525 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: he is thriving as a result. Back to back three 526 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: hundred yard games and this was a huge game for 527 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: him against the Houston Texas. Christian McCaffrey goes out the 528 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: game and the Panthers are forced to have Sam Donald 529 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: go from game manager caretaker to playmaker. He was able 530 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: to do it and so both their future that maybe, 531 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: just maybe he could be the QB one that everyone 532 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: envisioned when he was drafted third overall, younger than Joe Burrow, Right, 533 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean there's still playing ahead for Sam Donald. I'm 534 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: gonna go to another team itself to a great start, 535 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: and that's the Denver Broncos. And go back to their 536 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: draft decision. A lot of a lot of us, myself included, thought, okay, 537 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: then maybe they go the quarterback route. They decided to 538 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: go to veteran route with Teddy Bridgewater and they draft 539 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: Pats or Tan to play corner. And this is a 540 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: defend when you look at this number three past defense 541 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL. If you're building your team to win 542 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: your division and you can get the quarterback play that 543 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: you've got at a Teddy Bridgewater, Now you look at 544 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: this past defense. We know about the rushers they have 545 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: up front, but now you put him in the secondary. 546 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: It's a talented group with Simmons back there at safety 547 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: in the division, with the Chiefs, the Chargers, and the 548 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: Raiders who can throw it as well as anybody. We 549 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: might look back on that and say, man, that was 550 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: a wise choice to go defense instead offense. Right, Yeah, 551 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: that's when Justin Fields and mac Jones were available. After 552 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks went one, two and three, all right, let's 553 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: finish this thing up. But just you know, having a 554 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: little fun here with some risky business. Keep in mind, 555 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: Darius Leonard never makes business decisions. He's always risk or reward. 556 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: He's going in with all he has. Problem is, you know, 557 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is well bigger than he is, but still 558 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: like that, you're gonna have some of these, some of 559 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: these moments as a linebacker in the NFL, especially with 560 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: twenty two back there. Uh and like he was kind 561 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: of getting blocked, comes off the block and just absolutely 562 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: felt the full force. He actually tried to take a lookily, 563 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: try to take a punch of the ball. I respect 564 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: that buck. Respect. You don't want to be straight up 565 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: with a man who's like almost two d and fifty pounds. Yeah, 566 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: he took a swing at it. He took a he 567 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: took a big swing, get it, that is. And Leonards 568 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: never gonna turn that down. Yeah, he's gonna turn on 569 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: to smoke. Look, let's be honest. There are no good 570 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: options for now right there. No, I respect. You can't 571 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: even cut his legs down, So you just have to 572 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: take that one. Yeah, it happens. Time for looking the 573 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence joined Hall of Fame company and 574 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: fellow number one overall picks Troy Hickman and Peyton Manning 575 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: as the only quarterbacks in the last forty seasons with 576 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: two plus interceptions in his first three games. Lawrence had 577 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: two plus interceptions on just three of his thirty six 578 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: college starts. By comparison, well, good news, bad news for 579 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. Good he cut his interception total in half 580 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: from last week. Uh. Just two picks versus the Broncos 581 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: this week, and they came late at the game mostly decided. 582 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: Bad news. Jets were shut out, got no help from 583 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: the run game, just a hundred and sixty two total 584 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: yards against a really good Denver defense. Let's move on 585 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: to Mac Jones, who threw his first career interception against 586 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: the Saints, and then his second, and then his third, 587 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: all the one a terrible drop by John new Smith 588 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 1: that led to a Malcolm Jenkins pick six right there. Uh, 589 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: and the Saints leave Foxboro with a victory. So with that, 590 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: let's get you our rookie report cards, all right, Bucky 591 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: Brooks sincing a theme here with Trevor Lawrence. We're in 592 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 1: that DF category here these last couple of weeks D 593 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: for Lawrence d J kind of similar to last week 594 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: for Zach turnover. Yeah, so he moved up right, and 595 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: you guys are giving me some trouble. I'm grading on 596 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: a curve. He started out with an A. He had 597 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: some drops and nobody was getting open against man coverage 598 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: out in the perimeter for the Patriots. Meanwhile, for Justin Fields, 599 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: safe to say he had the worst day. It was 600 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: a rough one for him. And this bears offense. And 601 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: when you look at it to me again, holding the ball, uh, 602 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: the vision issues. I do love the fact that he's tough. 603 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: He did protect the football even while I took those 604 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: nine sacks. I don't know how to give him anything 605 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: other than an F when when you kind of look 606 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: at a collective and F is for feudal for this offense, 607 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: and there you go. Yeah, the offense didn't look good 608 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: and Matt Naggy takes some responsibility for that F grade 609 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: because this plan, this plan certainly didn't look like it 610 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: was tailored to Justin Fields. I felt like I was 611 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: just watching Andy Dalton in disguise with Justin Fields there. 612 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: So they gotta figure out what the young quarterback can 613 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: do and if he's going to continue to start, they 614 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: need to figure out a way to help him some 615 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: quick some screens something. But right now, the way this 616 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: offense looks is certainly he is not working for the quarterback. 617 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: A little more pocket movement maybe yea design quarterback run buck. 618 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: One of the things I want to see pre snap 619 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: leverage decisions. Just be able to find soft corners. If 620 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: you got routes, find soft corners and work on that side. 621 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Too many times he's thrown into rolled up coverage. There's 622 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: inside leverage. He's trying to throw in breakers. Like, You've 623 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: got to be able to look and see leverage pre 624 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: snap to help inform your decision making. Yeah, you absolutely 625 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: have to be able to see leverage and some of 626 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: the things that they can do our formation driven where 627 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: you can put them in three about one set, so 628 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: he understands, let me look at the backside receiver. If 629 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: I have a certain look, I'm gonna go this way. 630 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: If I have a different look, I'm gonna go to 631 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: the front side. This has to be a concerted and 632 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: collective effort by the Bears to make sure that Justin 633 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: Fields is successful. So one of these designed part of 634 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: is him getting on the field and doing the work. 635 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: And right now you put him out there. So now 636 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: the big decision is how do you go forward if 637 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: and you don't it's healthy. Did he go back to 638 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: the beach all of those other things. One of the 639 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: things I would say, I know, look, their tackles are 640 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: not good, and Jason Peter has tried to come back 641 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: and a pinch to help this team, and that's a 642 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: tough assignment for him. Jermaine Effetty has really struggled on 643 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: the other side, So they have issues up front. I 644 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: know there's been a lot of criticism for how many 645 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: empty snaps they went in this game, But as a quarterback, 646 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: if your offensive line is terrible, you've got two options. 647 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: You can keep every Boddy in or you can get 648 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: everybody out. So I don't have as much issue with 649 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: them doing as much empty as they did in this game. 650 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: Justin fields has to get the ball out a little 651 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: bit quicker in those scenarios. They're not going to block 652 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: the Browns if they keep five and six and seven 653 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: and thirteen, and they're not gonna be able to block 654 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: that front with the guys they have well, and look, 655 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: and we went back and looked at all the sacks 656 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: right this morning and out of the nine when we 657 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: put a little on the quarterback. And while Miles Garrett 658 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: was absolutely wrecking any matchup that he got in this game, 659 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: I think it really saw the Jenevian Clowney effect too. 660 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: From both sides. With the pressure not so many guys 661 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: can get after it from both sides. Here's the thing. 662 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to find better tackles right now. Okay, 663 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: this is what you're playing with, So you gotta figure 664 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: it out out. You gotta figure out whether that's getting 665 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: guys out that maybe that didn't work. Let's try and 666 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: keep man. You gotta try something. But this personnel is 667 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: not going to improve in the middle of season. Now 668 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: the person that was not going to improve. So then 669 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: you have to figure out how can we run the ball? 670 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: Because the easiest way to protect the quarterback is play 671 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: action passing, And even though the run doesn't have to 672 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: be effected, you have to commit to running. It's some 673 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: so can the next time out they committed maybe given 674 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: David Montgomery and more, the only one way to go up. 675 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: That's the positive here. Yeah, you can't go down from 676 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: there as bad as it gets. Yeah, Greg McElroy would disagree. 677 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: Who by the Way was sacked eleven times in his 678 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: one and only career NFL start as a rookie. All right, 679 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: let's keep it moving here on move the stakes. Let's 680 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: take a look at the last five number one overall picks. Yes, 681 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: the brown Bears. Browns there, just Brown's had two straight 682 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: from seventeen to eighteen, both still with the team. Kyler 683 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: Murray has changed the Cardinals fortunes in a hurry. Joe 684 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: Burrow picking up steam here with the Bengals, of course, 685 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: still getting Trevor Lawrence up to speed with the Jags. 686 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: But let's really dive in on this here in DJ. 687 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Browns because in addition to those 688 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: two number one overall picks, they brought up another former 689 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: number one over overall picture Van Clowney in and has 690 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: really paid dividends for them early on this season. But look, 691 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: you got hit on these and when you do, you 692 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: see these kinds of results. I think about jumping in 693 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: the pool. You gotta go all the way down to 694 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: the bottom, and you gotta spring off that bottom, because 695 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: right to the top and right now, I look at 696 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: this Browns team and I think they're a legitimate Super 697 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: Bowl contender. Because they've hit on these picks and not 698 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: something they always did. By the way, when you go 699 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: back and look at their first round picks and they're 700 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: high picks that they had before those you had. Look, 701 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: it was not a good hit rate for the Cleveland 702 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: rounds in the draft as you see it right here, 703 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: from two thousand eleven to two thousand sixteen, zero Pro 704 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: bowlers and then no player got that second contract. So 705 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: they had struggled in the draft. They got it right 706 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: with those and Myles Garrett has established himself as a 707 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: premier pass rusher in this league, and Baker Mayfield's giving 708 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: them a dependable solid quarterback might not be an elite 709 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: player doesn't need to be with this is well rounded 710 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: as this roster is. Yeah, what I like about what 711 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: the Browns have done is they have big time all 712 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: star performers at a bunch of different positions, and whatever 713 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: they did in the draft, they supplemented that in free agency. 714 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: When you think about Austin Hooper coming over, you think 715 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: about Concton coming over. They have guys that are able 716 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: to make plays, veteran guys that helped them get going, 717 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: and keV Stevanski is really tied it all together because 718 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: the culture, the system when he's implemented, it suits their 719 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: talent and because that we're seeing them play at a 720 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: super bowl level. And guys, how many times have we 721 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: seen a quarterback drafted number one overall or not long 722 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: thereafter and just not get the institutional support up front 723 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: along the offensive line where the Browns have made that 724 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: group into one of the very best in all of football. 725 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: And then you get the run game going to with 726 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb as a second round pick. Man, it's all 727 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: coming together for the Browns. But Bucky, let's let's look 728 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: at another team here in the Cardinals who mentioned Kyler Murray. 729 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's the type of player that will allow 730 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: you to take quarterbacks number one, you know, with your 731 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: first executive drafts right back to back years. There was 732 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: controversial because they had Josh Rosen in place, and Josh 733 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: Rosen they used the first round pick on them. They 734 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: conversation about him being the future quarterback, the face of 735 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: the franchise. But Cala Murray comes in this perfect storm. 736 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury matches up with Cala Murray. Calla Murray is 737 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: dynamic and explosive, and more importantly, he's a winner. And 738 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: so when you bring that infects his winning attitude with 739 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: the player who also has a dynamic skill set, it 740 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: uses up everybody. Then it goes around them with playmakers. 741 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: We think about the veteran players that they have around them, 742 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. We now are looking at a j Green 743 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: re emerge. You think about some of the young guys 744 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and ron Deal Moore. It is all beginning 745 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: to work. And because the quarterback gives everybody in the 746 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: building hope, they're having success. Yeah, and I think they're 747 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: a step below the Browns, but they're a playoff caliber 748 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: team and that's where they are and there playing. I 749 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: put the Cinthennati Bengals right there with the Cardinals, which 750 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: sounds kind of crazy when you think about how quickly 751 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals have been able to flip this thing 752 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: and to get it rolling with Joe Burrow. If Joe 753 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: Burrow stays healthy, I think this potentially is a playoff roster. 754 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: They can score points, uh, they're playing better defensively. This again, 755 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: you look at the different tiers you got the Browns 756 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: into me. The Cardinals and the Bengals are playoff caliber 757 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: teams and they went out the Bengals did and supported 758 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: their quarterback. You know, you had Tee Higgins the same 759 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: draft as Joe Burrow. So like you're making those concerted 760 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: choices to facilitate this guy's progress, which is which is 761 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: great to see now, Bucky, you've obviously seen it with 762 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: your work. Now for the Jaguars, look, it's still very 763 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: much incomplete right that they're they're trying to and they're 764 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: not even barely barely dip their toes in the water 765 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: here with what this will eventually be, what we all 766 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: think will still eventually be, with Trevor Lawrence ultimately finding success. 767 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: And then I think, you know, we see that C. J. 768 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: Henderson trade in the first round pick from a year 769 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: ago at corner, and it just it feels like a 770 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: franchise still trying to institute their style, their culture and 771 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: find their path. Yeah, they're trying to find their path, 772 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: and you're dealing with a coach who's coming from the 773 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: collegia game, who's also trying to figure out how do 774 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: you build all star roster like he had his college stops. 775 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: And so now you have Trevor Lawrence in place, which 776 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: is really the biggest piece of the pozs of the quarterback. Well, 777 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: now you get the quarterback right now, you've got to 778 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: spend the next year two building the pieces around him. 779 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: That means the offensive line surrounding were more weapons on 780 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: the outside in the passing game, making sure that he 781 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: has exactly what he needs, and a running back behind him. 782 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of stuff to be done. 783 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: And the final part of it is, can you get 784 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence on the same page with the play caller. 785 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: Can they find the way they meet that happy medium 786 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: where he's doing pro style stuff while also still doing 787 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: things that are very, very comfortable with his game. And 788 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: so all of this is a work in progress. Was 789 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: why the Jaguars are struggling right now. Look, this year 790 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: is a trial run because we've been preaching on this 791 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: show and on this podcast for years. Young quarterbacks need 792 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: the three p's. You need, the play caller, you need 793 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: to protection, need to play makers. I think all three. 794 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: After this year, urban Meyer is gonna take a step 795 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: back and he's gonna audit the situation and say that 796 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: we have the pass catchers we need, we have the 797 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: offensive line we need, and also do I have the 798 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: right play caller in the building because we saw it. 799 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: You know, with Jared Goff's early development, we saw the 800 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: difference when you brought in the play caller man that 801 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: can that can make a huge difference. So that's my question. 802 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: Do they have those right guys in those right spots? 803 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: And I just I can't help but think that, you know, 804 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 1: the loss of Travis e t N as the second 805 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: first round pick this year, we look at all those 806 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: easy completions the Steelers a getting the Naji Harris. Maybe 807 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: e t N could have been that for them out 808 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: of the backfield or even as a slot received more juice, Yeah, 809 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: more more juice. More urban talks about us spark than 810 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: he's someone who can score from anywhere on the fields. 811 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: Et En would have given him the player. Alright, fun 812 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: Week three Sunday in the books, and what a game 813 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: this shall be, What a week this will be for 814 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, who was already asked about Tom Brady following 815 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots lost to the Saints, and for once, um 816 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: he said he's still focused on the Saints, not moving 817 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: He's not moving on just yet. I was not ready 818 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: to answer those questions. Brady Belichick setting just about every 819 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: record known to man, for coach and quarterback duos with 820 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: their work together for two decades in New England and 821 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: six Super Bowl titles. All right, so let's look ahead 822 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: to this here, DJ, I mean, what do you think? What? What? 823 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 1: What the what's the first thing that comes to mind 824 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: about this one. I don't recall a bigger regular season 825 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: matchup in terms of the hype that this is going 826 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: to warrant, And it doesn't involve undefeated teams and doesn't 827 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: evolve teams in the same division or the same conference. 828 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: Like you can give you a million reasons why this 829 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: game is just one of seventeen bucks. But this is 830 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: gonna be hyped up unlike anything we've ever seen. And 831 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: something tells me tom Brady coming off last week, you're 832 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: gonna see a whole different Tom Brady. This week, you 833 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: will the whole different time Brady. But this is personal 834 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: and this person on both sides, Bill Belichick has the 835 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: luxury of knowing everything about Tom Brady. Someone in Prattice Field, 836 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: we have seen him. Confound a ton of quarterbacks in 837 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: this league doesn't have something special for TV twelve. And look, 838 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: that's what we're all gonna be talking about. But the 839 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: biggest mismatch in this entire game is when the Patriots 840 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: offenses on the field and the Bucks defense is on 841 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: the field, they can smother you well. And because the 842 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: Bucks vulnerabilities with the deep ball, we saw that against 843 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: the Richards, don't do that and they the Bucks have 844 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: what the two of the best running tackle linebacker us 845 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: on the second level, So all that short stuff, it's 846 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: gobbling that up and then the run defense man. In 847 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: other words, we're all leaning heavily Bucks, but we're gonna 848 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,399 Speaker 1: have about nine more hours to discuss and previous name 849 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: as the week goes along, so we reserve the right 850 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: to change our minds. Tom Brady's first ever game as 851 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 1: a visitor at you Letts Stadium, This sounds weird, doesn't it? 852 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: Come out of time? You think he'll give us one 853 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: to go? You know? He should? He should? You think 854 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna play the jay Z when he comes out 855 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: of the tunnel. I don't think they're gonna get that. 856 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll give him that. But I 857 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: do think you are going to see the reception will 858 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: be it.
