You take Monday, 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: Tuesday review, Wednesday is turning the page looking to the 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: next week, and Thursday we have games, and then when 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: you mix in the college games, I feel like it's 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 3: all football all the time when it comes to what 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 3: our work life and even some of our personal life becomes. 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Thursday to Monday, man, like we just lock it off. Okay, 16 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: here we go. We got great stuff going on every 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: single night. Man, it's fantastic looking forward to a great 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: week of football starting tonight. Bill's Dolphins should be a phone. 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: We're going to look at some of the other games 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: this week that we're keeping our eyes on. But before 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: we do that, Buck, I want to talk on the 22 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: difference because Harbass said this in a press conference the 23 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: other day, and it's been said by a bunch of 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: people over the years. Yeah, how the biggest provement takes 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: place from week one to week two. So for someone 26 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: who's been on both sides of it, you know, from 27 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: upstairs to downstairs, why would you say that is true? 28 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: Because what happens from week one to week two. 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: Prior to week one, you're hoping to be able to 30 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 3: do certain things. 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: You're like, Hey, we think we're going to be this 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: type of team. 33 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: After you play a real game, you now have a 34 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: great ast sense of Yeah, that what we thought to 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 3: be true, we're not going to be able to be that. 36 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: So we need to begin to shift towards who we 37 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: really are. 38 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: So you're speculating prior to week one, you're reacting after 39 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: weak one and trying to put your team in the 40 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: best position. Also, when it comes to players, is one 41 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: thing to operate at what we call preseason speed. 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: It's another thing to get used to the regular season. 43 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: And as a young player, I just remember being told 44 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: there are four speeds that you have to adapt to. 45 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: There's preseason, there's regular seasons, there's playoffs, and then there's 46 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, and every time you transition to another segment, 47 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: the game gets faster and more physical, and you have 48 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: to ready yourself for the increase and speed and intensity. 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: That's why it changes, and that's why you're able to 50 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: kind of go to the tape and get used to it. 51 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: You have a better sense of what you're facing once 52 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: you play that real game. 53 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wrote down three t's like three reasons I'm 54 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: with you that I think you do see a big 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: jump here. First of all, let's start with the first 56 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: tea simply tackling. You're going to see tackling get better 57 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: over the course of the next few weeks, and it 58 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: just is what it is. We just don't do it 59 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: much anymore in camp and guys aren't playing as much 60 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: in the preseason. So you're going to see better tackling 61 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: as we go forward, and I think that starts this week. 62 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: The next thing is just from a game plan standpoint, 63 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: you're going to start to have some tendencies. It might 64 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: just be one week, but you got a little bit 65 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: of feel like, hey, this team's playing a lot more 66 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: this coverage and did in the past, so we're gonna 67 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: be able to craft our game plan a little bit 68 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: more towards how this team is playing with their current personnel. 69 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: So you got tackling, you got tendency. And the last 70 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: thing I wrote down was what you discussed, which is tempo. 71 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: You can't replicate game speed, you just can't. So that's 72 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: going to be adjustment. And I think so many people 73 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: have focused on the young quarterbacks and the struggles that 74 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks had Week one. Don't you think that's 75 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: the biggest part of it is you don't know what 76 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: that NFL game speed looks like until you've been in it. 77 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: Well, they never had it. I mean, like even playing 78 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: in the preseason. 79 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: Remember most of the time they're playing against guys who 80 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: aren't the starters that are playing, because remember everyone is 81 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 3: holding out their starters, so you're playing against backups and 82 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: those things. And let's be honest, there's a different pace 83 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: and intensity to how the backups operate than the starters. 84 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: And when you're playing against guys that are veterans who 85 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: cannot only anticipate, but they quote unquote play the play, 86 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: they're moving at like warp speed and those windows closed 87 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: really tightly. Funny because you talked about the young quarterbacks 88 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: studying Kayleb Williams. Kayln Williams has been great throughout the preseason. 89 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: That first regular season game he's getting past is batted 90 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: down left and right. The windows are closing tighter, and 91 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: he's having to adapt on the fly man. The league 92 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: is hard. It's hard for everybody, but it's really hard 93 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: for quarterbacks. And some of the things that we assume 94 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: when we get excited about these young players that they're 95 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: gonna step into the league, it's just not gonna happen, 96 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: because you have to respect the game. But I will 97 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: say this, and here's why, with all the young quarterbacks, 98 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 3: why I wouldn't kind of dismiss those guys, particularly Caleb 99 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: and Jay and Bo Nicks. Do you remember the conversation 100 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: early in the w NBA season when people were talking 101 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: about Kaitlyn Clark and how Kaitlyn and how. 102 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: She's gonna set the turnover record. 103 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: And then and then somewhere in the middle of the 104 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: season it clicked and I don't know if people have 105 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: been paying attention, but she is wearing out the competition 106 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: in the w NBA, and so sometimes you just got 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: to truy the talent that it will eventually catch up 108 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: to the Tempa and I'm just going to bank on 109 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: Caleb and Jaden and Bo. The talent is going to 110 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: allow them to catch up and when it pops, it's 111 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: gonna pop, much like Kaylyn Clark popped into WNBA. 112 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: No, I would say Wimby on the NBA. You look 113 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: at what Yama did as the year went along and 114 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: his numbers started to spike. Because the talent's there now, 115 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: it's just getting used to the tempo and the speed 116 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: and the physicality all that stuff, and they'll be able 117 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: to adjust to that. I'm with you. I think those 118 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks will be able to make those adjustments as we 119 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: go forward. As we're going through these games, Buck, I 120 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: want to hit you up on a few of them 121 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: and we'll go through kind of what we're looking at, 122 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: what we want to see. The first one I think 123 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: is intriguing just because havn't seen them last week with 124 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders. They are going to take on the Ravens. 125 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: That is a tough one for them. That is the 126 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: Ravens coming off a little bit of an arrest, right 127 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: They had the opener on Thursday night, so they get 128 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of room, a lot of attention on 129 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: Lamar you know, missing those two throws late in that ballgame, 130 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: although man on the you know, likely is this far 131 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: away from that being a completely different conversation if it 132 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: gets his toe down. But just in that game, what 133 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: are you looking forward to? 134 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's great that we had the conversation about 135 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: the biggest improvement. 136 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: So you're the Baltimore Ravens, you're John Harbaugh. 137 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 3: This thing about Zach Orr, who just called his first 138 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: game as a defensive coordinate. You now have had a 139 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: few extra days to kind of digest what took place 140 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: and to kind of put the pieces of the puzzle 141 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: back together. Offensively, the Raiders are gonna face a different 142 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: deal from the Baltimore Ravens. I can guarantee you that 143 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: Derek Henry's going to get more touches and be more 144 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: involved in the game plan. Lamar Jackson will settle down 145 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: and do those things. And defensively, Zach Orr has a 146 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: better feel for what he has and the flow of 147 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: the game. 148 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, not a great luck of the draw. 149 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: But the Raiders taking on the Ravens, it's gonna be 150 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 3: a tough one and playing them in their place, man, 151 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: they're gonna be frothing at the mouth to be able 152 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: to get on the field for Week two. 153 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a challenge, a big challenge in 154 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: my opinion for Gardner Minshew. Gardner Minshew won that quarterback 155 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: job against Aidan O'Connell. They paid him a little bit 156 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: more money. He comes in as someone who's got a 157 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: lot more experienced. Aidan O'Connell had some interesting moments, some 158 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: bright moments last year in his first year, but he 159 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: was a late round pick. He's not the most physically 160 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: gifted guy. But I look at this game, in this environment, 161 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: Arrested Ravens defense, they're going to be able to rush 162 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback. 163 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: Man. 164 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like we're talking about people having answer 165 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: questions about whether or not they're going to keep their job. 166 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has already had press conference questions. Do you 167 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: feel like you're playing for your job this week? I 168 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: feel like nobody's talking about this Raider one. But I 169 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: feel like, man, if Gardner Minshew goes out there and 170 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it could be tough, it could be very 171 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: tough for him against this group in this moment, coming 172 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: off that game, that might be one of those ones 173 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: that could be the first quarterback change that we see 174 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL that I feel like nobody's really talking 175 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: about now. 176 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: Nobody's talked about it because that was a Look, that 177 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: was a quarterback competition that kind of went down to 178 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: the end and there was Look, if this was a fight, 179 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: it wasn't a knockout. 180 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: It was a split decision that was could have gone anywhere. 181 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: It could have been a draw, anything. 182 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: And so for Gardner Minshew, what we saw is, Look, 183 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: the numbers are different, right, because the numbers will suggest 184 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: that he was very efficient in those things. 185 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: But the mistakes that he had in that game against. 186 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: The short fields man, their egregious errors. 187 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: And for the Raiders they have a small margin of 188 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: bear when it comes to how they have to operate offensively. 189 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: Defensively they played terrific, but offensively he cannot turn the 190 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: ball over and he has to be able to play better. 191 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: So you're right, he could be one aware of his 192 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 3: ugly you see a no o'clin eventually run out to 193 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 3: the field. 194 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see what happens in that game. Interesting one 195 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: are the Saints? Was that just terrible Carolina or did 196 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: the Saints come out there? To me, this is a 197 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: statement for them. You come out there against the Cowboys 198 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: on the road. Cowboys coming off of a big win 199 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: over Cleveland. I don't think anybody really took the Saints 200 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: seriously even coming off of that win. That thought. The 201 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: conversation was just, man, Carolina stinks. So this is an 202 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: opportunity for the Saints, Derek Carr and company to say, Okay, hey, no, 203 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: actually we're pretty good. I think they have maybe the 204 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: biggest opportunity to make a statement this week. 205 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I'm with you there. They do have 206 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: an opportunity to make a huge statement. 207 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 3: And for a team that has kind of talked about 208 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: not being respected, Man, what a better way to go 209 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: out than to take on a team that is hot 210 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: that the TV viewing public wants to be hot because 211 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: there's such a marquee brand. You knock off the Cowboys, 212 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 3: then the conversation changes and the narrative changes around the 213 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints. I will say this, Clint Kubiak's debut 214 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: calling games for the Saints went really well. They did 215 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 3: a really good job of mixing the running pass, thrown 216 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: it all over the yard. Derek Carr looked very, very comfortable. 217 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: We'll see if he can replicate that kind of performance 218 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: against the Cowboys. And one of the things I don't 219 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: know if we talked enough about because we kind of 220 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: dismissed the Cowboys because of all the contract controversy controversy 221 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: Mike Zimmer and is in fact, not only on the defense, 222 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 3: but I will say on the team. The one thing 223 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 3: that we know about Mike Zimmer, anyone who's been around them, look, man, 224 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: he's a no nonsense, a very attention to detailed guy. 225 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: What I saw from that defense was even more attention 226 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: to detail than we saw under Dan Quinn. He found 227 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: a way to unlock the Marcus Lawrence. We saw him 228 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 3: move Michael Parsons around. The Dallas Cowboys are a dangerous team, 229 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: and I think Mike Zimmer's influence might have been underestimated 230 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 3: prior to them kicking off the season. 231 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, that was a statement that they made Week 232 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: one against the Cleveland Browns. Fuaga Teleisi Fuaga, one of 233 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: our favorite players in the draft tackle at Oregon State, 234 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: played great for the Saints. Another that's a big challenge though, 235 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: going from what he saw last week in Carolina to 236 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: see in this Dallas front. So looking forward to that game, 237 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to go through and just pick 238 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: out the intriguing ones. 239 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: Buck. 240 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: There are actually so many intriguing games though. Bucks Lions 241 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: another one. I think we're the Bucks. I don't know 242 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: if we didn't talk about them, but hardly at all 243 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: in the offseason. They go out there and their business 244 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: in impressive fashion. Baker Mayfield plays great in the opener. 245 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: Now they get a chance again go on the road 246 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: to take on a Lions team that everybody's focused on, 247 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about, and I feel like it and it 248 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: punched them out of the tournament last year, so I 249 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: feel like this is a big opportunity for Tampa. 250 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, big opportunity. 251 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 3: And it's funny we're talking about them right at the 252 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: eight because having a chance to study the Buccaneers offense yesterday, 253 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield was terrific. 254 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: No one talked about it. 255 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: If I know, we don't do this in the pros, 256 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: but if in the pros we gave out Hellmes stickers, yeah, 257 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: we have a ton of hellmestickers. He completed eighty percent 258 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: of his passes. He threw the ball to seven different 259 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: pass catchers, but the big three for them, God went 260 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: Evans and White, They accounted for nineteen of those receptions, 261 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 3: and so he understands to keep the main thing the 262 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: main thing, give the ball to the playmakers. They also 263 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: accounted for three of those touchdowns. Baker Mayfield has it going. 264 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 3: And I will say this, Baker Mayfield going to Tampa 265 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: maybe one of the best moves that we've seen because 266 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: he not only goes to a team that has fallen 267 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 3: in love with his personality, he's under the radar. He's 268 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: in a city where he's kind of flying below the radar. 269 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 3: He's matured and grown up. This is the Baker Mayfield 270 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: that we saw at Oklahoma come out and the impact 271 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 3: that he's had on this team. If they get this win, 272 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: you really got to talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 273 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: kind of being in that conversation because we know they're 274 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: gonna play good defense with Todd Bowles. Offensively, they're much 275 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: better than I ever envisioned the CNBA. 276 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: This game also reminds me and again the Lions. They're 277 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: an impressive team. I still it's on one weekend, but 278 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't feel I don't feel any regret having picked 279 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: them as my team to come out of the NFC 280 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: after coming off the win over the Rams last week. 281 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a complete team. I think it's an 282 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: emerging team. This is gonna be a great matchup. But 283 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: one of the things I was thinking of in this game, 284 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: particularly talking about the quarterbacks, I mean, has there ever 285 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: been more has there ever been more evidence that's out 286 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: there right now of let's not give up on quarterbacks. 287 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: Jared Goff in this game. Remember people, he was done, 288 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: he was done under Jeff Fisher. Sean McVay came in there. 289 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, Jared Goff, He's playing at 290 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: a championship level. Baker Mayfield bounced around multiple teams. Don't 291 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: know if that's going to work out for him. He's 292 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: solidified his career. It's only been one game for Sam Donald, 293 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: but this looks like this could be coming back for him. 294 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: Gino Smith notably took a long time, but eventually he 295 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: settles in. Like I feel like you look around the league, Buck, 296 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: and I look at people who wanted to, you know, 297 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: throw dirt on some of these quarterbacks after one game 298 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: in the rookie season this past week, and I'm like, man, 299 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: we've never had more evidence. You need to be patient 300 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: with these guys. Yeah, look, I think that's worthy of 301 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: a deeper dive. 302 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: What is it about the quarterback position in terms of 303 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 3: like finding the answers and using those guys that are 304 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 3: the cast offs. You know, you think about Geno Smith, 305 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: Sam Donald, you talk about think. 306 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: About Tua Tua got benched his first year. People were 307 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: labeling Tua bust. 308 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: I think now more than ever, it's not only like 309 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 3: fit in scheme. I would say, it's the personality of 310 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 3: the play caller and the play that also works. We 311 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: both love and revere Kevin O'Connell and we knew that 312 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: he would work. One is with Sam Donald and you 313 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 3: see it connect. There's something about like the soothing nature 314 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: and everyone doesn't need that. But I do believe the 315 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 3: match between play call and play designer. 316 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 2: And quarterback is really important. 317 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: And when we're thinking about these guys, it's almost like 318 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: playing matchmaker. You know, you don't get a chance to 319 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: do this in the draft if you're the quarterback, you 320 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: don't get a chance to pick like this guy's. 321 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: Personal better with him. Yeah, but once you're. 322 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 3: On the streets, you do have that opportunity, and you 323 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: see guys making better decisions sometimes in terms of where 324 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: they land Sam Donald intentionally picking the Minnesota Vikings to 325 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: have an opportunity to play on the Kevin O'Connell is 326 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: going to prove to be a very wise decision for him. 327 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is. I think it's a great 328 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: deep dive of how these guys once they get the 329 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: right place, they get the right surroundings that the talent 330 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: then can show out and play a little bit. So 331 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: something definitely to keep an eye on. Colch Packers is 332 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: another great game or you're looking forward in that one. 333 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: Well obviously know Jordan Love. 334 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 3: I mean, how did the Packers adjust to Malik Willis 335 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: be in the quarterback and Malik Willis hasn't been there 336 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: long enough to really know the ins and outs of 337 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: this offense. How does Matt Lafleur adjust this offense to 338 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: help a young quarterback like Willis? Can it lean on 339 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 3: the running game a little more with Josh Jacobs and company. 340 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: Can they find a way to help Malik Willis develop 341 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 3: the chemistry with the wide receivers More importantly, can this 342 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: defense carry the offense a little bit into the young 343 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 3: quarterback the new quarterback finds his way. There are a 344 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: lot of little storylines that are working for the Packers, 345 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 3: but they got to get it going because their division 346 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: is going to be so competitive. They can't afford to 347 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: fall behind significantly behind the Lions and the Vikings and those. 348 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: They got to the Bears too. They gotta get it going. 349 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 3: They got to find a way to win without it 350 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: being perfect. 351 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 352 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: I went back and pulled up my Malik Willis scouting report, 353 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: so I had him twenty sixth I believe in that 354 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: range on my list, I think he might be maybe 355 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: have been early thirties. But fix dirty quarterback, big time 356 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: arm strength, playmaking ability, quick feet usually release the ball 357 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: out of a three quarter slot. Ball jumps out of 358 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: his hand, generates incredible RPMs, flash, the ability to fit 359 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: pass and tight windows. Accuracy is inconsistent at times too 360 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: wide with his feet. The ball sales the perimeter, showing 361 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: the ability to change ball speed, but he can improve 362 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: on layer throws. Missus out out on some completions because 363 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: his throws are too flat. He's effective extending and creating 364 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: against pressure, which he faced a lot of in college. 365 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: He's outstanding on QB draws, powers and zone reads. He 366 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: has burst and pulls through tackles. Overall, Willis is still 367 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: a work in progress, but he has the most upside 368 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: of any quarterback in that draft class. So when I 369 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: go back through that, one of the things that I'm 370 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: thinking there is, Okay, it's not a season ender for 371 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. I don't need to nurse and protect Malik 372 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: Willis through sixteen games, you know, for him to navigate. 373 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: I've cutting him loose. Buck, He's caring it. He's carrying 374 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: the rock twelve quarterback power. I'm talking quarterback counter. Whatever 375 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: we got to do to get to the finish line. 376 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: We got to win the game. We got to figure 377 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: out a way to win the game. 378 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: We got to be at our best, and we're going 379 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 3: to need him to be able to get after it. 380 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 3: And so, yeah, DJ, You're right, what are we waiting on. 381 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 3: Let's get him going, Let's cut him loose, Let's give 382 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: him every opportunity to be at his best, and let's 383 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 3: see what it looks like at the end of it. 384 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to say this is a must win game, 385 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: but there's a lot of urgency that should go along 386 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: with winning this game because they got to find a 387 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: way to get it done. 388 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's take quick break. We come back. We'll 389 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: get into some more of these games as well as 390 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: our game of the week right after this. All right, 391 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: Buck Niners Vikings. That's a fun one, Yeah, real fun one. 392 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 3: Look, man, you talk about the Niners who know Sam Donald, 393 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: they know him well from practicing against him, and this defense. 394 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: They talk about being in the butt kicking business. Warner 395 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 3: kind of loosely talked about they want to get after it, 396 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: and there's been a lot of conversation. And I'll be honest, 397 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 3: I worried about the forty nine ers having a Super 398 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 3: Bowl hangover that did not appear that opening week. But 399 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: can they continue to be the bullies on the block defensively? 400 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: Can they impose their will on the Minnesota Vikings offense 401 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 3: that has a lot of weapons, has a lot of firepower, 402 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 3: and Sam Donald's very very comfortable operating the x's and 403 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 3: o's part of it. This is a big game for 404 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: the Vikings, but really it's a big game for the Niners. 405 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 3: Can they continue to be the team that we thought 406 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 3: that they would be based on the way that they 407 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 3: finished as runner ups last season? 408 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: I go back to last year San Francisco goes into Minnesota. 409 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: Rock Perdy got a lot of heat for that game. 410 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: If you remember, his numbers don't look terrible. Twenty one 411 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: to thirty two to seventy two, a touchdown, but had 412 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: the two interceptions. And you know, I remember coming out 413 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: of that game, people were like, Okay, this is the 414 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: shoes falling off. Now, like we'll see brock Purty kind 415 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: of come back to earth a little bit. He forced 416 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: a couple balls, but again obviously he didn't what got 417 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: them to the super Bowl. But I'm curious to see 418 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: how Perdy kind of responds to, you know, returning to 419 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: the scene of a game that wasn't his, you know, 420 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: up to his standards, so to speak. 421 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 3: You know what I like about brock Priddy is the 422 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: maturity and I would say the just self awareness that 423 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 3: he presents when people criticize him and they always take 424 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 3: him the task about whether he's an elite quarterback or not. 425 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 3: He kind of focuses on the main thing, and the 426 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 3: main thing for him is getting his team to the 427 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: winner circle. He knows the money's gonna be the money 428 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: whenever it comes time to pay him, and he just 429 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 3: has a great perspective on what he needs to do 430 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 3: to help this team continue to win. I also believe 431 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan knows what he has at the quarterback position. 432 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 3: We've talked about this being like a video game where 433 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: he is able to utilize. 434 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 2: Rock Purdy as the joystick. 435 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 3: Rock pretty sees the game in a way that Kyle 436 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: shanahans sees the game, which is why I think we 437 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: see so many big plays a high level of efficiency 438 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 3: from this offense since he has become QB one. 439 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 2: In the Bay Area. 440 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a perfect relationship there. I think that's 441 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: got a chance to be the game of the week. 442 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: Looking forward to that one, all right, I want to 443 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: touch on this one just briefly. From the Seahawks side 444 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: of things. I did a kind of a deep dive 445 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 1: on their defense, watching them and then pulling up all 446 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: the numbers and looking at everything. They played great. I 447 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: think it's got a chance to be one of the 448 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: best defenses in the NFL. Mc donald running the show there. 449 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: They've got dudes at all three levels of their defense. 450 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: They can all run. The secondary. We talked to Leslie 451 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: Frasier in the summer, this might be the best secondary 452 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. They are loaded, They're stacked 453 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: safety's corners, Witherspoon at the nickel treek wall and continue 454 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: to take the ball away on the outside. Julian Love 455 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: has been awesome as a safety, so they've got an 456 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: outstanding secondary. They've got a deep front. Byron Murphy's already 457 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: making plays along that defensive line. Leonard Williams is really 458 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: blossoming and playing well there. Boye Mafe coming off the 459 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: edge has done good things. They've got speed at the 460 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: second level at linebacker. Baker's there, the former Miami Dolphin 461 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: who can really run. So they've got a really good defense. 462 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: But the thing I want to hit you on was, 463 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: I went back and looked at the numbers. I want 464 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: to look at their coverages. So you can go to 465 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: PFF ultimate and pull up the coverages that they're running. 466 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: And when you pull it up, they're not like in 467 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: the top seven or eight in any coverage. Like they're 468 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: mixing and matching throughout the whole game. And I'm curious 469 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: because I heard that. I've heard coaches say if you 470 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: don't have any tendencies, you're not any good. This is 471 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: what we do, this is what we major, We dictate, 472 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: they react to us. But there's also the New school 473 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: way of thinking of we're never going to allow you 474 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: to get a beat on what we're doing. We're going 475 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: to have it so mixed and matched, and I think 476 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: that was something that really confused and was an issue 477 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: for bo Nix against that defense last week. 478 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: It's something that is hard to do. 479 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: It's hard to do in the back end to carry 480 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 3: a bunch of different coverages and. 481 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: To be able to execute them. Well. 482 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 3: Give them credit in Seattle their coaching staff for being 483 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: able to really be great instructors and teachers. Some of 484 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: that is when you have veterans in the back end, 485 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 3: you can do it. But a lot of it has 486 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 3: to do with high IQ players. The one thing that 487 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 3: everyone talked about when you asked about Mike McDonald and 488 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 3: his impact in Baltimore, people talked about how he was 489 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 3: able to make the complex simple, how he was able 490 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 3: to use conceptual learning to get his guys to understand 491 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 3: how to perform at a high level while being able 492 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: to mix in a bunch of different personnel groupings. That 493 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: has to be the teaching for them to be able 494 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 3: to carry so many different things, and so is Mike 495 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 3: McDonald as also the defensive staff. And I would say, 496 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 3: look Leslie Frazer did a great job for a long 497 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: time working with a bunch of different teams as the coordinator. 498 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 3: Him kind of being around to kind of help facilitate 499 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: some of that learning, certainly is not a bad thing 500 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: in ceat. 501 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: You remember when we talked about whiteouts a few years ago, 502 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: when we were saying, you know, the most underrated characteristic 503 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: of these great whiteouts is the toughness, Like there's a physicality, 504 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: and the toughness was undervalued. We focused so much on speed, 505 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: especially when you get to the NFL where the windows 506 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: kind of shrink a little bit, just some of the 507 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: physicality and the toughness. It also benefits you in the 508 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: run game, but more so, you know, just at top 509 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: of routes and being able to be strong and through 510 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: the catch. I look at the secondary and I think 511 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: maybe the And I saw this from Danton Lynn, who's 512 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: the DC now with USC. They're asking about their defense 513 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: and what like one of the biggest emphasis they've made 514 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: to turn it around through a couple of games of 515 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: the season, and he talked about how smart his guys were, 516 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: like linebackers and safeties, incredibly smart. And I'm sitting here thinking, like, man, 517 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: is that kind of the is that the undervalued component 518 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: to some of these great players and great defense, it's 519 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: just how dang smart they are. 520 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: I think so. 521 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 3: And I'll go back to this, and I'll go back 522 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 3: to Bill Belichick and the Patriots in the middle of 523 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: their heyday, and they talked about really prioritizing intelligence, not 524 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 3: only like academic intelligence, but prioritizing the instincts and the 525 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: awareness the things that happened between the lines. When you 526 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 3: have smart players that can handle a lot of volume, 527 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 3: it gives you the opportunity to be very flexible in 528 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: how you approach the game each week. For so long 529 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 3: in the Bill Belichick era, we talked about every game 530 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 3: plan being a snowflake, unique game plans that you didn't know. 531 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: One week they're heavy man. The next week the heavy zone. 532 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: The week after that, there's zone pressures, the week after that, 533 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 3: they're man pressures. Having up look a catalog of things 534 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 3: that you can throw at people to really make them 535 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: play left handed. If this team is as smart as 536 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: he talked about, yeah, DJ, you can do a bunch 537 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: of different things. Have a lot of fun attacking teams 538 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 3: using complex schemes that the offense has to decipher. But 539 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 3: they're really simplistic for the defense once they understand how 540 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: to crack the code. 541 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a fascinating conversation. 542 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: Man. 543 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: One more game than we'll get to the game of 544 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: the week Bears Texans. That's gonna be a fun one. 545 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: That is going to be the Sunday night game. Looking 546 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: forward to that one. 547 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, two big time quarterbacks that are kind of engaged 548 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: in a shootout. A lot of questions about Houston and 549 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: how would Stefan Diggs fit in. I'll say he fit 550 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: in really well because I looked at the stat sheet 551 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 3: and Nico Collins Stefon Diggs had a pair of touchdowns, 552 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 3: tang Dell was involved, Joe Mixon has one hundred and 553 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: fifty nine yards on the ground, and c. J. 554 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 2: Stroud is just in the pocket dealing. 555 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 3: What people may have missed out on with Stefan Diggs is, Yeah, 556 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: he may not be the true number one in Houston, 557 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 3: but he's still an upgrade over anybody that you have 558 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: as the number two or number three. You still gotta 559 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 3: have someone that can account for him. And if he 560 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 3: is playing nice in the sandbox with his teammates, it 561 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 3: forces you to defend a lot of people. 562 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 2: The most people don't have the personnel. 563 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 3: So when I look at this, I look at what 564 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 3: ebra Flus has done with this defense and how they 565 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: are still true to form when it comes to playing 566 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: Tampa two and zone and those things. How was he 567 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: gonna slow this juggernaut down? The version of the Texans 568 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 3: that we're seeing now, Man, it ex seeds anything like 569 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 3: what we saw the previous year. This is a dangerous 570 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: team that can win with a few different ways. 571 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: Forced the nest, then they can get it done a 572 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 2: few different ways. 573 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, them finding a run game 574 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: and being more physical upfront is going to be, you know, 575 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of that missing ingredient, that that pitch that they 576 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have. I think it's a very dangerous team. 577 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: I am curious to see how Caleb does going into 578 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: a really hostile environment you think of the last I mean, 579 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people focus on it in 580 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: the run up for the draft, but you go to 581 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, it's a rivalry game, it's hostile. Obviously the 582 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: weather was an issue there. It won't be inside in Houston, 583 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: but that was kind of the last real hostile environment 584 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: that we saw Caleb inn and it was really the 585 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: worst game that he's had throughout his his his two years, 586 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: at least at USC. So I want to see how 587 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: he does, how he's able to slow it down a 588 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: little bit, and you mentioned it a little bit earlier 589 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: on him. I want to see can we just let's 590 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: let's eliminate the batted balls. Okay, there's gonna be some 591 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: they're going to get away from you. You're gonna miss 592 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: some throws here, maybe sale one, you're gonna throw a 593 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: warm burner. I just let's let's not give away plays 594 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: when you can't when you don't find a throwing lane 595 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: and it gets bad at the line of scrimmage. First 596 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: of all, there's a chance it gets picked and turn 597 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: the ball around. That's no good. But more than any else, 598 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: you're just not giving yourself a chance. You're not giving 599 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: the play a chance. Let's not give those away. So 600 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: that should be a major point of emphasis in my 601 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: opinion for this week is Hey, let's let's make sure 602 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: we're finding throwing lanes here and let's not give away plays. 603 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you can't give give those things away. 604 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: You're right, you can't fix everything for Kayley Williams in 605 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 3: one week. So let's see if we can get some 606 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 3: little wins to be able, some momentum and some confidence 607 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 3: within him. Even though he's one of the more confident 608 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 3: people that we've been around. You have as mini balls 609 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: batted down and many misses that we as we've had. 610 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 3: Then it's going to be a situation where you just 611 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 3: kind of have to figure it out, have to get better, 612 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: and you hope that the Bears find a way to 613 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: do it. But remember, DJ, he might be without a 614 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 3: couple of receivers Romanza, he may not have Keenan Allen. 615 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: He may be throwing to a bunch of newbies. And 616 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 3: so you talk about that jump that he's expected to 617 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 3: make from week one to week two, he may be 618 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: forced to make that jump without his primary pass catchers 619 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 3: that we expect. 620 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, use your legs a little bit, Caleb. You can 621 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: use your legs a little bit more in this game 622 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: fast track. You know, we'll see if he can add 623 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: some offense with his legs. 624 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: So look, DJ, this is this is our favorite part 625 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 3: of It's time for the Game of the Week, presented 626 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: by DraftKings Sportsbook. This week it's the Bengals at the Chiefs. 627 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 3: The spread is minus five favorite the Chiefs. The over 628 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: under is forty seven and a half. 629 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: What are we going to see from Joe Burrow? I 630 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: mean that's I know what the Chiefs are and I 631 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: know you know, they've got some speedback in their offense, 632 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: so that makes them even more dangerous. I know what 633 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: their defensive line looks like, I know what their secondary 634 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: looks like. I feel like the Chiefs, there's I don't 635 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: know what I'm looking for from them. I know exactly 636 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna get from them. This game is all 637 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: about what the heck we're going to get from the Bengals. 638 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: And more importantly, is Joe Burrow gonna be able to 639 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: at least attempt to push the ball down the field 640 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: because it didn't happen last week? 641 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 642 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 3: I mean this team is so all lot of source, 643 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 3: and some of it, I would say, their own doing, right, 644 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 3: the drama that took place with Jamar Chase before the 645 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: game not knowing if he was going to play. 646 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: Some of that due to food poisoning, a lot of 647 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: a lot of it due to contract. 648 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: You just didn't know. So I feel like this team 649 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: was discombobulated from the start given their previous years where 650 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 3: they started out slow, they always find a way to 651 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: kind of fix it. If you're a Joe Burrow believer, 652 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 3: then you think that he'll find a way to get 653 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: it fixed, whatever was bothering him, whatever he's dealing with 654 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 3: in terms of physically, he'll find a way to overcome 655 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 3: it and give the ball on the hands of the 656 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: playmakers so they can go to work. This is a 657 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 3: tough one though, because this is a I would say, 658 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 3: an even better version of the Chiefs than the version 659 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 3: that we saw last year. Defensively, they're still as good 660 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: as they were, but offensively, more speed, more explosion, is 661 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 3: more big play potential just because of the people that 662 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: they've added, huge challenge for the Bengals. 663 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: Now. 664 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: I look at the Bengals and one of the things 665 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: that you know, roster wise and how they're constructed, an 666 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: area of their team I actually really liked was the 667 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: the tight ends that they have. They've got a bunch 668 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: of tight ends they can get involved. 669 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: Now. 670 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: They had a fumble going in the end zone I 671 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: think was Tanner Hudson who fumbled going in. You also 672 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: have Gasicki, who you know who can make some plays 673 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: that wasn't able to quite finish with a touchdown. So 674 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: I think those tight ends can compliment you know what 675 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about with them pushing the ball vertically down 676 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: the field. I think that can open up the middle 677 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: of the field a little bit. I don't think you 678 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: want to be completely locked in and forcing balls in 679 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: this game. So to me, I look for the Bengals seep. 680 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: You get those tight ends a little bit involved, spread 681 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,239 Speaker 1: the ball around a little bit, but creatively, and you know, 682 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: be opportunistic about it. You've got to pick. You've got 683 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: to pick a time in the first two series, buck 684 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: or we're going to protect and we're going to take 685 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: a shot. Don't care if you complete it or not, 686 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: but we're going to show that we are willing to 687 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: at least access that area of the field. If not, 688 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense will smother you. They will shrink the field, 689 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: and they will suffocate you. So you better come out 690 00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: early on in this game and at least show a 691 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: way to try and get the ball out down the 692 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: field over the top. I don't even care if it's 693 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: caught or not. 694 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta push it down the field. 695 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 3: You cannot get forced into play a half court basketball 696 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 3: at the YMCA. 697 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: You just can't. 698 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: You got to. 699 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: You gotta stress the field. You got to push it. 700 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 3: You have to remember to keep defenders back. I had 701 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: a college coach used to always say, you need to 702 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 3: throw two deep passes a quarter, take shots. 703 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: To back them up. 704 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: If you connect on them, you can score fourteen points 705 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: each app because you're gonna you're gonna find a way 706 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 3: to catch someone slipping. 707 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 2: This team needs to take more shots. 708 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 3: They got to back them up so they can get 709 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 3: back to doing the normal game plan where they can 710 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 3: control it. 711 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: So a lot of pressure on Joe Burrow. 712 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: To manage all of the things that are going on 713 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage while getting the ball to 714 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 3: the playmakers and making sure he's balanced enough to keep 715 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 3: the Can City Chiefs on the heels. 716 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a twenty percent chance maybe that 717 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: the Bengals eke out a close win, and I feel 718 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 1: like there's an eighty percent chance that the Chiefs run 719 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: them out of the building. You know, like that's that's 720 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs team again. Also, coming off the rest from 721 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, getting a little extra time, they're 722 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: going to be fresh. I don't know, I'm a little 723 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: bit concerned about the Bengals. We'll see how this one goes. 724 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: But if they do get if they do get smashed buck, 725 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: I think you'll see the panic alarms get sounded in Cincinnati. 726 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: I think they have to be sounded in Cincinnati if 727 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 3: they do this. But remember this, the Bengals had made 728 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: this a very personal game with the Kansaity Chiefs.
