We're gonna talk about all 16 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: the coaching moves. We got the divisional round playoffs, X 17 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: and O's taking to all that, and then a free 18 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: agency preview. Who is going to be the hot free 19 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: agent that everyone is going to talk about in the 20 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: l season. Yeah, we've got some big coaching news too 21 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: we can touch on. Let's let's start right now, though, 22 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: kind of fresh Darius guys very talented running back from 23 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: l S. You decided he's gonna join this two thousand 24 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: eight teen draft class in a draft that to me 25 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 1: is loaded at the running back position. He's still got 26 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: a very unique skill set. He does have a unique 27 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: skill set. He's the guy that I think is tremendously 28 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: talented when it comes to running the ball. He can 29 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: go inside and outside. He has the ability to catch 30 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: the ball out the backfield. He's tough, he's physical, he 31 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: has the grit and determination that you look for. I 32 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: think he should be a terrific Bill Cow at the 33 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: next level. And when you think about LSU running backs 34 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: and some of assesses these guys have had in the pros, 35 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: I think he is the next great Tiger to have 36 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: success as an NFL run interesting thing is when you 37 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: kind of look at him and Barkley, Barkley has is 38 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: a little bit bigger. Barkley has more juice, has more 39 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: top speed than Darius does. Darius runs a little bit 40 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: more physical though, between the tackles, drop his shoulder on you. 41 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: He runs hard. He does run hard. I think that's 42 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: his best quality. I think his physicality and toughness in 43 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: terms of his ability to run through contact, his ability 44 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: to finish runs off. He is a guy that if 45 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: you put in a power base offense, I think he's 46 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: kind of a tempo setter as a dot back. Yeah, 47 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: I look at very early on in the process. Right now, 48 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: he's the second best one behind Barkley that I've seen, 49 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: though in a great running back class. Well, have plenty 50 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: of time to delve into the long list. I mean 51 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: it's a long list of dudes, a lot of running backs, 52 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: and I think we talked about the evaluation of the 53 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: running back part of the reason they will be devalued. 54 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: There's so many guys and so teams that are looking 55 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: for that next Kareem Hunt, the Alvin Kamara, the guy 56 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: that they can find in the third round but can 57 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: emerge as their work worse back. I think they're finding 58 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: because there's so many guys available in this draft, a 59 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: lot to choose from. ORRW Let's get to some coaching 60 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: news here. We've touched on this previously, but now we 61 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: kind of we've seen the press conference now with John 62 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: Gruden and the Oakland Raiders. Ten years hunter million, not bad, 63 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: not bad, night night night, nice paid eight. I think 64 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: I could do a little something with that. You find 65 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: a way to make it work. There Anything stand out 66 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: here in terms of the staff that he's building or 67 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: just seeing him back there in the silver and black. 68 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: What are your expectations here? You know? I think the 69 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: great thing for disclosure, I played for John Gruten in 70 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: Oakland back in night and I think what was terrific 71 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: about it. I saw forty plus alums in the building. 72 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: A lot of guys that I played with were there, 73 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: and I think there's a sense of he's going to 74 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: bring it back to when it's been at his best 75 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: in Oakland. In terms of having the black Hole rock 76 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: and having the synergy in connection between the community and 77 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: the team, I think that's going to be there. I 78 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: think the thing about John Gruten, what you're getting is 79 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: you're getting an energetic offensive mind, a guy who certainly 80 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: understands quarterback play and he can get the most out 81 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. It would be interesting to see how he 82 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: meshes with Derek Carr. Having gone back and seeing some 83 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: of your interactions that Gruten had with Derek Carr when 84 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Carr was coming out, I think he could be a blend. 85 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: He's gonna put a lot on Derek Carr's plate, and 86 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: I think Derek Carr has to get used to being 87 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: coached hard, because that's the only way that John Gruten 88 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: knows how the coach he's gonna be on the quarterback, 89 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna put a lot of a lot of pressure 90 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: on him to really lead the team. We'll see if 91 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: Derek Carr can respond to that kind of coaching teaching. 92 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: I think the offense is gonna be just fine. Paul 93 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: Gunther's got the challenge get this defense up and running. 94 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: They gotta have some pieces too. In the off season. 95 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: They gotta have some pieces, and he has to show 96 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: that he can take those pieces and make them an 97 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: elite unit. I would say that maybe Cincinnati's defense was 98 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: a little disappointing based on the amount of tell them 99 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: that they had. Let's see what he's able to do 100 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: in Oakland. He has a nice piece in Khalil mac 101 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: what can he do with the rest of the pieces 102 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: that are available to him? All right, how about some 103 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: quick thoughts of what's going on with the Chicago Bears. 104 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: Matt Naggy, who I was around with the Philadelphia Eagles, 105 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: a really really smart, bright young coach. He gets the 106 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: head coaching now and then as a similar staff. It 107 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: looks like Vick Fanjel probably gonna hang around his defensive coordinator. 108 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: Just announced today, Mark health Rich, former Oregon head coach, 109 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator before that, is coming in to 110 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: be his offensive coordinator. Naggi's still gonna call the plays, 111 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: but now you have health Rich in that Chip Kelly 112 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: background bringing some of those concepts to the Chicago Bears 113 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: and Mitchell Robinski. What do you think about what they're 114 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: doing in Chicago. Well, I love to move to bring 115 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Mark Helfrich in. And I know it's a difficult transition 116 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: going from me in a college offensive coordinator and head 117 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: coach to an NFL offensive coordinator because the field is different, 118 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: the game is different than hashes really change the way 119 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: that you think. But I think if we're talking about 120 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: really building around the quarterback, this is the best move 121 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: that they can make. Mark Helfrich was around Marcus Mariota. 122 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: He was key to Mark Mariota's development as a Heisman 123 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: Trophy winner. He can take a lot of that experience 124 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: and use it to really help Mitch Drobiski become a 125 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: better player. You have to remember Mitch Drobiski only played 126 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: ten eleven twelve games as a collegiate player, goes to 127 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: the league, starts all season, but he's still young, and 128 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: when you're young and inexperience, you have to do things 129 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: that really fits his eye, fits his skill set. I 130 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: think you will see the Chicago Bears do a lot 131 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: of things that we see on Saturdays in college football, 132 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: try and find a way to dress it up so 133 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: he could work in the pro game. But this should 134 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: help the young quarterback play at his best until he's 135 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 1: ready to do more traditional things as an NFL quarterback. 136 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: And I thought one of the underrated hires two is 137 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: getting Harry he Stand from Notre Dame, who is big. 138 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: That'st offensive line coach in college football was how to 139 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: develop these guys, knows how to identify talent as well. Uh, 140 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: that's big for them. Also the connection I was as 141 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: we're talking about this, I thought about Helfrich being at 142 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: Oregon with Kyle Long, So you have a you have 143 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: a relationship there with your best really I think your 144 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: best offensive player. Well, I think so. And I think 145 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: also when you look at these moves in terms of 146 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: two legate coaches coming over, you have to think that 147 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: the Bears are turning over their roster. They don't have 148 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: a lot of young players. They're going to be more 149 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: got developed. You gotta developed deal with the teaching and 150 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: development that has to occur. I think it's a really 151 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: really good move. I like what's taking place. We'll see 152 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: if they have enough talent to kind of pull it off. 153 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: But I do like having some younger, some fresh ideas 154 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: and innovative minds in the building. All right, let's move 155 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: on to to Seattle and Pete Carroll. If he's gonna 156 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: have a coaches meeting, h he might be the only 157 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: one there because they have cleaned house on both sides 158 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: of the ball. Yeah, this is kind of puzzling and 159 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: perplexing to me. This is a team that has always 160 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: kind of stress um that family connection, really being together 161 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: and bonded. And I know they had a disappointing year 162 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: by their standards as a team that have been to 163 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think every year since two thousand and 164 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: twelve fall off a little bit. The offensive line has 165 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: never been up to snuff. But I don't know if 166 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: you've given Tom Cable the right pieces. I think Tom 167 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Cable got a lot to say who those pieces and 168 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: he did, and and maybe so trying to transition defensive 169 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: line and it may them offensive linement and the like. 170 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: Then you have Darryl Bebo and Christopher Shard. Both of 171 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: those guys may not be retained. I think the interesting 172 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: thing is christ Shard, who is on the rise of 173 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: guy who was a head coaching candidate, did a pretty 174 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: good job with a defense that was really hamstrung by 175 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: a number of injuries. I think this is Pete kind 176 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: of cleaning house, maybe trying to bring some fresh voices in. 177 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: But I think he runs the risks of now everyone 178 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: looking at him because people were a tremendous opportunity a 179 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when they had an opportunity to 180 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: go back to back to win the Super Bowl. It 181 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: hasn't been the same sense, and I don't think it 182 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: will ever be the same. I think we will see 183 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: a new reincarnation of the Seattle Seahawks. I just don't 184 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: know if this version will be better than the previous 185 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: version that we've seen. To me, I look at that 186 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: situation and I think of fear. I think of fear 187 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: from Pete carroll standpoint of squandering the prime of Russell Wilson. 188 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: He is in his prime right now. He's playing at 189 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: an elite level. They've got to get better up front. 190 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: They've thrown a bunch of bodies, a bunch of high 191 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: picks at the offensive line. It has not worked. So 192 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of why you see the offensive 193 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: shift defensively. To me, it almost seems like this could 194 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: be headed towards a total total reboot. When when Mike 195 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: Silver had that report towards the end of the season 196 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: and mentioned that he thought all those defensive guys were gone, 197 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: and he went down the list with April obviously to hell, 198 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Michael Bennett, he said, Earl Thomas 199 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: probably won't be back. Richard Sherman is not gonna be back. 200 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a brand new operation. It looks 201 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: like Pete gonna start fresh with some coaches as well 202 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: as some players. You know what's so crazy about that 203 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: is Christian Schart has been probably chiefly responsible for the 204 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: success of the team. If you think about he started 205 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: as a defensive back coach. He basically developed the legion 206 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: of Boom, brought those guys up, taught him how to play. 207 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: That was the backbone of their defense and then you 208 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: kind of show him the door with so many young 209 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: players having to play prominent roles going forward. I don't 210 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: know if that's necessarily the write move. That's you bring 211 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: up a good point there no question. All right, let's 212 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: jump into some of these games here and preview them. 213 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Falcons and the Eagles. This is 214 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: the sixth seed Falcons traveling to Philly take on the 215 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: one seed Eagles. Man, it seems like a lot of 216 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: buzz around the Atlanta Falcons leading up to this game. 217 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: My question though, can Nick Foles lead the Eagles to 218 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: a win versus the Falcons? Can he get it done? 219 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be tough because the Atlanta Falcons 220 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: defense is playing at a very very high level. You 221 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: look at the last nine games that they've played, they're 222 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: only giving up seventeen point three points per game. Falcons 223 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: are seven and two during their span. The big thing 224 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: with Nick Foles and even the Eagles wide receivers can 225 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: they win versus press coverage? Not all the blazers on 226 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: the perimeter. Can they get open? We saw the sticky 227 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: coverage that the Falcons used against the Rams a week 228 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: ago to really contain that offense, and this is a 229 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: unit that has played six top ten scoring offenses. They 230 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: have only given up an average of nineteen points per game. 231 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: The Eagles have struggle scoring since Nick Foles have taken over. 232 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna be able to score 233 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: now points unless that running game gets on tracked. And 234 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: I think that is the key to them getting to 235 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: running game off so they can protect Nick Foles. I 236 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: think also you look over to this defense for the 237 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: Eagles not only being able to stop the Atlanta Falcons, 238 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: and hopefully you can generate some turnovers if you're the Eagles. 239 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: To me, it's getting some three and ounce and getting 240 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: favorable field position. You don't want Nick Foles and this 241 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: and this playoff environment to be backed up starting drives 242 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: at your five ten yard line. You want to give 243 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: him a couple opportunities. Get to the forty, get to 244 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: the fifty, get some short fields. He's only had to 245 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: get a couple of balls. He only got to hit 246 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: a couple of balls, and you run the football. I 247 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: think the field position will be huge in this and 248 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: I think that's where that Eagles defense comes into play. 249 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: Either generate some turnovers, generate some short fields. Yeah, and 250 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: it has to be playing complimentary football. That has to 251 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: be the priority. And when we talk about complimentary football 252 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: is different than the way the Eagles were playing early 253 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: early in the year. They were able to lean on 254 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Carson Wentztad offense was putting up thirty plus points. It's 255 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: easy to play defense in those situations. Now the Eagles 256 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: have to play more stop and take away defense, meaning 257 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: they gotta get three and ounce. They gotta play the 258 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: ping pong field position battle where they always put their 259 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in a position to be on the short field, 260 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: and they gotta the way to score points. On defense, 261 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: many create turnovers and put the ball in favorable scoring position. 262 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: We'll see. I love their defense. I believe they run 263 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: the ball. They have an opportunity, but they're gonna have 264 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: to be committed to run the ball. This is a 265 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: game where they have to have thirty plus carries because 266 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: that will really alleviate offset some of the bird known 267 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: nick voles. And I flip it over to the Falcons. 268 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Here they got a little mog and a little momentum 269 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: going offensively. Can they keep that rolling? Matt Ryan made 270 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: some big throws in that game against the Rams, didn't 271 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: have to do a ton. We talked about fuel position. 272 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: They had some favorable fuel position in that game against 273 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: the Rams. Uh. Can they get it going? And to me, 274 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: when I look at the key to them getting going 275 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: is can they protect long enough to take some of 276 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: those double move shots down the field because that has 277 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: been an issue for the Eagles and the Falcons with 278 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: their receiving corps definitely have guys that can go get it. 279 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: They absolutely have guys that can go again. And I 280 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: think the matchup plays well for the Falcons receivers in 281 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: terms of how they match up against the cornerbacks from 282 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't know who's going to match 283 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: up with Julio Jones. Julio Jones could be a major 284 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: problem for the Eagles. I would expect Jim's worts to 285 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: make sure that he finds a way to double team 286 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: him and not let him be the big factor. But 287 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna push the ball down the field, they need 288 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: to make some chunk plays. This has been the element 289 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: that has been missing from the Falcons offense, that explosive 290 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: vertical attack. But in this game where they know their 291 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: defense should have an advantage over the Eagles, offense. They 292 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: may elect to be a little more ball control, played 293 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: like they played last weekend against the Rams. Run it control, 294 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: it very methodical and systematic in the approach. Could be 295 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: tough for the philip Eagles, who you like, you know 296 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonning with to Atlanta Falcons. I think has been 297 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: um widely debated whether the Eagles can win with Nick Foles. 298 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: I just believe that the Falcons of the team that 299 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: no one wants to see because right now they don't 300 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: have any pressure on them. This is a team that 301 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl a year ago. They understand 302 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: how to get to the winner circle, and they're playing 303 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: with house money. I think that is enough to get 304 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: them going, and I think the defense is playing well 305 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: at the right time. I think the Eagles end up 306 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: winning this game. And the two reasons are two players. 307 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: You look at, Fletcher Cox and Timmy Jerner Again, I 308 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: think inside versus those guards from the Atlanta Falcons that 309 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: think they can dominate those one on one matchups, I 310 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: think that Eagles defensive line takes over the game. Gonna 311 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: be close. It's a big task ahead of them without 312 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, but I think the Philadelphi Eagles Uh, they 313 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: find a way to get it done at home. All r. 314 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Let's flip over to the a f C. And this 315 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: is a game with the Titans and the Patriots. Bucky, 316 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. We want, we want to be liked, right, 317 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: you want? You want? I get the sense though from 318 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Twitter that the Titans fans they don't like us very much. 319 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: And uh, I guess behind the glass they've come up 320 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: with a reason why. With Elis, I think the Elie 321 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: Rams are one of the best teams in the league. 322 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: I think we're beginning to see this team. Prime, You're 323 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: ready to make a Super Bowl run. I think he's 324 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: going to continue to happen. Yeah, I'm with you. I 325 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: think the Rams get it done here. Pick a winner 326 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: in this game, Buck saying with Jackson with Jaguars, I 327 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: like the Jags to get it done. Are you like 328 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs then? I do like to can see the 329 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: chefs this. I think experience matters. I like the Chiefs 330 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: in this game too. I think it's gonna be a 331 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: fun game to watch. I think Marks Mariota run around, 332 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: makes some plays. But I think the Chiefs, Uh, they 333 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: have a better football team. They get to win here. Yeah, 334 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: so apparently we never picked the Titans. Uh, so that's 335 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: why they're not happyways they said. I actually had some 336 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 1: on Twitter say we owe the Titans an apology this 337 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: week if they beat the and I'll say that. Look, 338 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: if they beat the Patriots, Ali, I will gladly issue 339 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: an apology on Twitter, on this show, wherever you want 340 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: to do it. But uh, when you look at this game, 341 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: if they're gonna win, if they're gonna pull this upset, 342 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: how they how they're gonna do it, Derrick Henry has 343 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: to have twenty five or more Russian attempts. If Derrick 344 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: Henry has more than twenty five Russian attempts, this game 345 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: is playing the way that the Tennessee Titans wanted to 346 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: play out. I believe they want to play a physical 347 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: football game, but they also want to play keep away. 348 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: The best way to play keep away is to run 349 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: the ball, chew up the clock, keep Tom Brady on 350 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: the sideline. Also, when you look at the Patriots, the 351 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Patriots don't necessarily have a dominant pass rusher. The best 352 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: way to set your quarterback up the pass is to 353 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: be able to run it and throw off play action. 354 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: If you're able to get this guy number twenty two 355 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: established as a bell cow runner. We know that he 356 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: can wear opposing defenses down and in the fourth quarter 357 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: if the game is tight, that physicality and toughness and 358 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: thinking about tackling a six four man could make some 359 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: defenders make business decisions. All right, this is where we 360 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: disagree on this one, Bucky, because I'm looking at this 361 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: game and the Patriots in their history, they always try 362 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: and make you left handed. They're gonna find out what 363 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: you do best. They are gonna take that away. So 364 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, you look at and say, Okay, Marcus has 365 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: gotta run around. They've gotta get that run game cranked up. 366 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see all the assets dedicated to 367 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: stop in the run. In this game. They're gonna beg 368 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: Mariota to throw the ball. And so when I look 369 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: at how they get it done, I put the numbers 370 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: at two seventy five yards, which in today's world doesn't 371 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: seemed like an astronomical number, and two touchdowns. I think 372 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariot is gonna have to get it done with 373 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: his arm because the Patriots are gonna force him to 374 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: throw the football. I think he's capable if he can 375 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: get into a little bit of a rhythm and maybe 376 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: they can get some stuff going off play action. I 377 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have pretty simplified coverage to look at 378 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: because they're gonna they're gonna dedicate very basic zone. They're 379 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: gonna dedicate so many bodies to stop the run. So 380 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: I think it comes down to whether or not Marcus 381 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: can get it done through the air. I mean, they're 382 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna challenge him, and I think the big thing with 383 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: Marcus is he has to be a playmaker. If he 384 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: can take anything and gain some confidence. I think DeShawn 385 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Watson had a pretty good game against him and that mobility, 386 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: that athleticism. I would expect the Tennessee Titans coaching staff 387 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time looking at what Bill 388 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: O'Brien in the Houston Texans did against New England. Because 389 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: DeShawn Wasason got off, it's no reason why Marcus Mariota 390 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: can't get off against that same He's gotta throw a 391 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns to himself, right, No, yeah, there, you 392 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: got a little give. Gotta get the give and go 393 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: two touchdowns him. That helps. Uh. Tom Brady been a 394 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: little bit of a funk here. Buck six interceptions in 395 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: his last six games, only had two in the first 396 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: ten games of the season. You expecting him to to 397 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: bounce back here as we get in the posts, Well, 398 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: he's had time, and typically what happens. Tom has done 399 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: this for a while the last four or five years. 400 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: His December play is tailed off, but the bye week 401 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: typically allows him to get back on track to rest 402 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: up the refresher. I think we can see Tom Brady 403 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: at his best. He is going to dial it up 404 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: and attack the weak part of this Titans defense. Look 405 00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: for them to spread it out, look for them to 406 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: used the running backs to create mismatches. But I think 407 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to be his normal self. I 408 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: think we will see m v P tom Brady show 409 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: up this weekend. YEA. Most quarterbacks you throw with your legs, 410 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: and I think you get some time off and some rest. 411 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have fresh legs, He'll get those 412 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: feet planted in the ground and he'll throw the ball 413 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: really well. I expect him to have have a big 414 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: game here. Who are picking here, Bucky? I'm scared Titans fans. 415 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: You're not gonna like this. Go ahead, Buck, I'm gonna 416 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: go to New England. Pictures, no analysis. Yeah, I'm gonna 417 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: go with the England. I want to keep I want 418 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: to keep it going for the Titans fans. So they 419 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: gave me mad at. I keep picking against him, then 420 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: it's working. It works for Yeah, I'm going with the 421 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: Patriots as well. So look if they if the Titans 422 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: get it done, apologies will be issued. I can promise 423 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: you that. Let's stay in the a f C two 424 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: seeds Steelers hosting the Jags. Uh. The game plan for 425 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles in this game against the Steelers, Bucky is 426 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: what he has to wear to big umbrero. We'll explain 427 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: that now. Well, the big umbrero means he has the 428 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: big hat. He has the big hat, meaning that we 429 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: everyone in this building knows that Blake Bortles has to 430 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: play an A plus game for them to win, meaning 431 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: that he has to be able to carry the offense 432 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: with his arm. Last week he was able to kind 433 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: of play as a single wing quarterback. That's not gonna 434 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: be good enough to get it done against the Stillers. 435 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: If he wins, I think he has to hit these benchmarks. 436 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: I think he needs to complete better than six of 437 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: his passes. He can't have any turnovers and he needs 438 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: to have two plus passing touchdowns. If he does that, 439 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: I think you can go ahead and get that ticket. 440 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is going to New England. That's a bold statement there. 441 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what the remember the old Snoop 442 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: video where he kind of morphed into the dog. Yeah, great, 443 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: great video. Uh this to me, the Bordles having success 444 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: in this game comes down to Bordles kind of being 445 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: able to morph into Michael Vick. You think, so he's 446 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: gotta be Bortles Vic Where we called Michael Michael Bordles, Like, 447 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: how does that? Because I'm looking at what look at 448 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: these guys. Everybody's same around, run around, make plays with 449 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: your legs. Look at in all seriousness, we give Boardles, 450 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of gree for some the layups 451 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: that he missed. I gotta let's give him some credit 452 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: for his toughness as a runner. He's getting it done 453 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: as a runner and getting him first downs doesn't matter what. 454 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: It looks like. He's been effective with his legs, So 455 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: don't abandon that. Keep that going. Get out there and 456 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: get some first downs with your legs so it'll be Uh, 457 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: it'll be I'll just go with Blake Vic. I don't 458 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: like I don't like that as I like that better 459 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: than the uh than the Michael Bortles. Yeah, Blake Vic, Yeah, 460 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: I like that. I think I think that's a better 461 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: gotta get out there and run around a little bit. 462 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. How about Antonio Brown coming back? 463 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: Uh Ben injured had that calf injury. I mean, I 464 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: thought he would be done for the year when we 465 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: saw that happen live. But he's been out there working 466 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: out with Chad Ocho Sinko and darn if he doesn't 467 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: look pretty good. A little uh little social media video 468 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: that popped out. I mean that social media video show 469 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: him look pretty good. It also shows that Chado never 470 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: played defensive bad life. I think the big thing for 471 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: a b is he's not necessarily gonna come back and 472 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: be the same guy that he was. I think it's Chad, 473 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: come on, man, He's gonna way down the tough thing. 474 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: When you look at the Steelers wide receivers versus the 475 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: Jaguars corners, the Jaguars defense is absolutely legit against the 476 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: past number one past defense, number one passing rating aloud, 477 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: number one and completion percentage held in second in sacks. 478 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: When you have that front, it's gonna be tough sledding 479 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. For them to win twenty six 480 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: is going to have to be an issue because you 481 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: just don't want Ben Roethlisberger to have a five pick 482 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: game again, and part of that was due to they 483 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: didn't commit to run the ball. I think this time 484 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: they have to be a little more convenient to running football. 485 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm a challenge you here. You got the courage, You're 486 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: gonna do it. You're gonna pick the Jacks. Oh, I'm 487 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: absolutely all in on the Jacks. I mean, I'm down 488 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: with Duval Down. I'm a Jaguar for life. D t 489 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: w da Oh. I Like I've been getting that on 490 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: Twitter a little bit because they know I'm picking the Jacks. 491 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm picking the Jacks. They've been sending 492 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: me on Twitter. Do you know what I meant? I 493 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a good thing because some of the 494 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: things I'm getting on this is not good Because we 495 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: did a preview earlier in the week and we both 496 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: kind of let the cat out of the back that 497 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: we like the Jackson this game. People are screen grabbing 498 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: this and showing me and you picking the Jags, and 499 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: they're just saving it and they were gonna come after us. 500 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: So I need the guys behind the glass to give 501 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: us a little cover here in case the Steelers win. 502 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: Uh does in case? Just in case, flip flip it? 503 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: Can you just get a picture of me and Bucky 504 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: with the Steelers. Okay, let's look that point down down. 505 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: I got it right there. So when they send that 506 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: screen grab, then we've got them picking. We can't be 507 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: right nice you guys looking out for We're always right. 508 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: We're always right. We got you guys appreciate that anyways. 509 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens to that, and that's gonna 510 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: be a fun game. Ping pok, ping pong. Back over 511 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: to the NFC Saints and Vikings, Like, I gotta be 512 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: honest with you, when we talk about these games on 513 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: their off air, I get the sense from you that 514 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: this is your favorite playoff game of the year. I 515 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: like this game. I think this game is I like 516 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: both the teams. I've been big fans of the teams. 517 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: Oh year, Uh Minnesota, I believe is built the right way. 518 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: If I could go back and become a general manager, 519 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: I want to build my team very similar to the 520 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: way the Vikings are constructed. I don't think they have 521 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: a glaring weakness. Their solid owned defense. They have talent 522 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: at every level. On offense, the offensive line has been fixed. 523 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: They had a big time running back in Devin Cook, 524 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: but they had depth behind him. Uh, two playmakers at 525 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: wide receiver, and then the depth that they've assembled at 526 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: quarterback gives him an opportunity to win even if case 527 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: Keendom doesn't bring in his A game. All right, what 528 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: do you expect expectations case in this one? You know, 529 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: I think it's the game is gonna be a little 530 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: big for him. I think when you look at the 531 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: quarterback battle between Drew Brees and case Keenum, you always 532 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: have to go for Drew Brees. He's been at this 533 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: for so long. You just know how Drew Brees is 534 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: going to play. Drew Brees. I mean, he's just like 535 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: going to a franchise restaurant. You know exactly what you're getting. 536 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: In case Keenum, you just don't know. He has played 537 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: great during the regular season, everything has been a bit 538 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: like a little Cinderella run, But how does he handle 539 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: the big game? This game is bigger. I think he's 540 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: gonna feel it, he's gonna sense it. I don't expect 541 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: him to be prime case keenon, but I think the 542 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: Vikings are good enough to win even if he doesn't 543 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: play at his best case. King has gotten away with 544 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: a lot of rainbows. So a lot of those rainbows 545 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: at a pot gold at the end. Be careful when 546 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the coming. Yeah, the Leprin might be careful with some 547 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: of those with k s kin a right, mark Ingram 548 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: and Alvin Camara. Not a big game for them last week. 549 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: This is all about Drew Brees the previous week. You 550 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: think they bounced back with a big game against this VI. 551 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's tough because I think the 552 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: way that the Carolina Panthers defended the New Orleans Saints 553 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: is the way that you have to defend him. And 554 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: it sounds crazy to have a guy that has four 555 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: five thousand yard seasons be the guy that you're saying 556 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: that you want to win. But we know if you 557 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: let these two guys go off, it's an absolute ail 558 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: for the opposing team. I think Alvikamar and mark Ingram 559 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: have combined for three thousand plus scrimmage yours. If they 560 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: get going, you have no chance. I expect him to 561 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: be major factors unless the Minnesota Vikings take a page 562 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: from the Carolina Panthers game, playing their playbook and say 563 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: that we're going to stop number twenty two and number 564 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: forty one at all costs, and we're going to dare 565 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: number nine to do it again. That might be the 566 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: right strategy for Well, They've got a better secondary than Carolina, 567 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: so they can put those assets up there to stop 568 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: the run and still hold up. I think against the past. 569 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: All right, two of the best defensive players in the 570 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: NFL actually both packed twelve guys, Cam Jordan's from cal 571 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: and Everson Griffin from USC who has a bigger impact 572 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: in this game. You don't have a go at everything 573 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: Griffin for the Minnesota Vikings, we talked about it. I 574 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: don't think their offense is gonna play well. I believe 575 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: this is going to be on the shoulders of their defense. 576 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: But that defense can stand up everything. Griffin is one 577 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: of the best pass rushers in the league. Energetic, athletic, 578 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: terrific with his hands, he consistently finds a way to 579 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 1: disrupt the action in the backfield. I believe He's going 580 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: to be a force of all the people on that 581 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: front line that can really make Drew Brees nervous everything. 582 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: Griffin is the guy. He has to stand up and 583 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: be the Pro Bowl player that he has been. I 584 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: expect him to be that this weekend. I love Everson Griffin. 585 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm actually going on the other side of it and 586 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: take Cam Jordan. He's been playing out of his mind. 587 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a great career, but this year 588 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: he's taking his game even up to another level. His 589 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: ability to come off the edge, he's just too big 590 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: and strong coming off the had So many of these 591 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: pass richers now are built for speed, and you you 592 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: see a little undersized edge dressers coming off. He just 593 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: overpowers these tackles. Bucky. He doesn't have to sacrifice a 594 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: lot of quickness to do it either. And if you 595 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: want to slide him inside, he's he's capable of rushing 596 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: in there as well. I just think he's one of 597 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: the best defensive players in the entire league, and I 598 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: want to give him a little bit of love here. 599 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he's finally getting the respect that he deserves 600 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: because he's been a really good player for a long 601 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: time and I'll be honest. When I saw him come 602 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: out of Kale, I didn't envision him blossoming into this 603 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: kind of dominant player. But to his credit, he's versatile, 604 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: he's dynamic, he's dominant. He is everything that you wanted 605 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: to position. He is their best defensive player, and that 606 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: says a lot because they have assembled a lot of 607 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: good players on that side of the ball. I picked 608 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: the game, who you like? I'm going to Minnesota Vikings. 609 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: I think playing at home is a huge difference. Even 610 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: though it's a dome and the Saints play fast, their 611 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: defense is a notch better and I think in the 612 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: playoffs the defense really really matters, and Harrison Smith is 613 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: a difference for me in this game. I'm gonna go 614 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings as well. NFC championship game at home, 615 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: maybe a super Bowl at home as well. All right, 616 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: uh NFL pick him show? You want to see all 617 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: these games get picked by our our group of podcasting partners. 618 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: Here where can the folks find that? Is? What? What 619 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: eight Eastern is that we are eight East Saturday Saturday, 620 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: you know, because we got games on Saturday and Sunday, 621 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: so you gotta tune in, make sure you tune in 622 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: podcast pick up. We got it all right, there, you 623 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 1: go check that out. Alright, time for our weekly segment here, 624 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: it's time to push past the expected presented by Visa 625 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: talking to some guys that could be X factors in 626 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: this weekend's games. Let's do this rapid fire here, Let's 627 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: just roll through these quick here, Bucky, give me one. 628 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: Nelson Agilo for the Philadephia Eagles has to be a 629 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: big play. And the reason he has to be big 630 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: is he is a slot receiver. They're gonna face a 631 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: lot of man to man bump man to man. He 632 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: has to win his battle. So I expect him to 633 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: be a major factor because if you think about ashean Jeffrey, 634 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: He's not necessarily quick enough to consistently win against Desmon 635 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: Trufon and Robert Alford. I don't know if Tory Smith 636 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: can give them anything. Their best matchup in the passing 637 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: game is Nelson Agholo working from the slot. He has 638 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: to be a master player. If he gets to that 639 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: hundred yard mark, that would mean that phil Eagles are rolling. 640 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: He has to be the factor. All right, good one, there, 641 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. De Laney Walker with the Tennessee Titans. 642 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: Pretty simple here. You get a tight end, you can 643 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: uncover those some of the easiest throws and easiest completions 644 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: you can get. Get Marcus Mariota in a groove early 645 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: in this game. I mentioned earlier, he's got to throw 646 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: the ball. Delaney Walker can give him some of those 647 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: layups early in the game and get him rolling. Who 648 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: you got out, Well, give another one here? Who you got? 649 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: Leonard Frenette for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I know we talked 650 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: earlier about Blake Borders having to be a big factor, 651 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, the offenses run 652 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: through Lenard for Nett. We see the physicale that we 653 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: see the toughness. The last time they played against the 654 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, he was a monster. He was the hammer 655 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: and he drove a nail into the baseboard. I believe 656 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to do it again. They need 657 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: him to do it again, So Blake Borders doesn't have 658 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: to do everything. Ah, you with those boring big names. 659 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: Give me Josh Hill from the New Orleans Saints exactly 660 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: the forgotten man on this offense. Drew Brees has a 661 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: little trust with him working down the scene, working in 662 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: the middle of the field, not afraid to throw him 663 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: back shoulders. He can adjust on the fly. He's kind 664 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: of the forgotten guys uscially get down the red zone. 665 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: He can be effective down there as well. Josh Hill, 666 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: I think he needs to have a big game if 667 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: the Saints go to Minnesota and get it done. But 668 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 1: he needs to be big. It's gonna be on number nine. 669 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be on Drew Brees. Shovel out and start 670 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: digging a little deeper on some of these guys. Hill, 671 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: all right, that was pushed past the expected presented by Visa. There. 672 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: All right, Bucky, this is gonna be a fun exercise here, 673 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, so everybody at home is gonna agree with this. 674 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna take the quarterbacks remaining in the playoffs. There 675 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: eight of them. Who eight? Let's let's let's do what 676 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: we do. Let's rank him one day eight, one day eight. 677 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: Do you know that's a tough one. I wish I 678 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: could just stick my hand in the hat. I wish 679 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: I had a hat that I could just kind of 680 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: stick in. Pull those names, pull the name out. But 681 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: I know who number one is. For me, I'm gonna 682 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: go ahead to go TB twelve. Tom Brady's number one. 683 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: If I could just play anywhere, on any day, any location, anytime, 684 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: against any defense, I want Tom Brady to be my quarterback. 685 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: He has consistently being able to lead his team to 686 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: the winner circle. Doesn't matter who he's surrounded by, he 687 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: finds a way to generate production in the passing game. 688 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: We will see Tom Brady at his best in the postseason. 689 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: Count on it well at his home atop our list. 690 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: He's allowed to bring his trainer. We're okay with that. 691 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to number two on the list. 692 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: Another Hall of Famer here, Drew Brees would be the 693 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: number two quarterback left in the postseason. This was a 694 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: tough one kind of starting between Breese and Roethlisberger. But 695 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees the most accurate quarterback there is, maybe the 696 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: most accurate quarterback I've ever seen. Bucky, He's outstanding. Uh 697 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: is efficient, decision making, all that stuff off the charts. 698 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: He's number two on the list. You know, Number three 699 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: for me is going to be big Ben Roethlisberger. Big 700 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: Band has really evolved as a player throughout his time 701 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: in the National Football league went for me on a 702 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: run around playmak and that kind of preferred to do 703 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: his thing in a sand lot. Today he's a little 704 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: more discipline in detail and it shows up most explosive 705 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: offense in football. I think Pittsburgh stills with all their 706 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: weapons went healthy. Big Ben is a huge part because 707 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: he's a nice point guard. Distriction the ball lets him 708 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: do their work. Big band. Number three in this list 709 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: right tucked in behind him is Matt Ryan. You can 710 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: make the case Matt Ryan could be a spot higher. 711 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: That's a great eight. We both end up going with Ben, 712 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: but Matt Ryan m v P last year. Uh. The 713 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: toughness I think is underrated with him. I love that 714 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: about his game. Hanging in the pocket to the last second, 715 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: no flinch mentality, can deliver the ball inside, outside, uh, short, 716 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: intermediate down the field. He he can make every single throw. 717 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: A decent athlete, not the greatest athlete in the world, 718 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: but definitely a decent athlete. And the guys just to me, 719 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: I come back to the toughness. He is one tough dude. Yeah, 720 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: toughness really really matters, and I love Ryan's toughness. But 721 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: I like Marcus Mariota's toughness even better. What he has 722 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: been able to display the last part of the season, 723 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: to me, confirms that he can be a franchise quarterback 724 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: in this league. The way he was able to get 725 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: it done against the can City Chiefs only suggest that 726 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: the best is yet to come. As a runner and 727 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: as a passer, he creates problems for the defense. I 728 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: believe he is only going to grow into an even 729 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: more dynamic playmaker at the position. Right now, he's five. 730 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: Soon he could be soaring up this chart. He is 731 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: terrific as a playmaker for the type playmaker, yes, passer 732 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: this year, He's got some work to do he can approve. 733 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: But I thought it was a great sign we saw 734 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: from him last week with the Kansas City Chiefs. No 735 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: question case, Keenum, if you just want to go sole 736 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: off what we've seen in this little sample size this year, 737 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: and maybe you make the case he's higher. We have 738 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: him at number six on the list. Uh, you can't. 739 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: I can't erase everything that I saw previously. Bucky. I 740 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: love what I've seen from him this year. Uh, we 741 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: went through the gritty tab. We can throw a gritty 742 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, we throw a gritty, feisty, competitor, all 743 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: those other things. He's all those intangible qualities that you 744 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: want from undersized quarterback. But he's delivered. Because he's delivered 745 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: and played as well, the Minnesota Vikings are sitting primed 746 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: and ready to go on a Super Bowl run. Yeah, 747 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: he's been very accurate and really did a nice shops 748 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: spreading the ball around. All right, we've got two quarterbacks left. 749 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: It's Nick Foles and Blake Bortles. Who's seven, Who's eight. 750 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Nick Foles at number seven. Look, 751 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: years ago, this guy had a twenty seven to two 752 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: touchdown to interception ratio, and I don't know how long 753 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: he can live off that meal, but we're gonna live 754 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: off a little bit longer because I think he is 755 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: just a notch above the guy his position number eight. 756 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: He's a guy that has flashed at times, and if 757 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: he just can envision whoever he's playing against, being the 758 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: New York Jobs, maybe we would see Nick Foles play 759 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: at a high level. Again, five touchdowns, only two interceptions, 760 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: three stars. I know we really really criticized him, but maybe, 761 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: just maybe he outplayed some of the guys that are 762 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: ranked ahead of him. I've reached the point where I 763 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: almost do feel bad for some of the grief that 764 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: Mortals has taken. Man, he said, everybody, everybody, I mean 765 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: using players. When players start using terms like your trash, 766 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: you don't see that. No, guys don't do that. Anyways, 767 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: he's taken a lot of heat. I gave him credit 768 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: for his ability to run the football. He's actually played better. 769 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: But I listen to what you said, you giving it 770 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: credit motacking in a playoff game he ran for eight eight. 771 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: Let's I'm a Glas half focus on, focus on a positi. 772 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: I'm a Glas half full guy. What can you do? Right? 773 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: That's what we're taught at Scouts, not what can't you do? 774 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: He said? What do you like about him? A corp? 775 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: But he runs, he's good un he's good runner, he's 776 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: a playmaker. It was a nice job. He'saymaker. Anyway, he 777 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: had played better in the middle portion of the year. 778 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: At the end of the year he kind of reverted back. 779 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,719 Speaker 1: But uh, anyways, Jacksonville, we still think finds a way 780 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: to get done. Hopefully Borders played a little bit better 781 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: this week. You know, Uh, a lot of teams are 782 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: out of it. Buck We only got eight teams left, 783 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: so a lot of these fan bases are already kind 784 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: of looking towards the off season, and we're draft guys, 785 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: that's our our bread and butter. But before we get 786 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: to the draft, we got free agency. Free agency matters 787 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: because it impacts the draft. Sometimes you can address those 788 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: kneeds and free agency that means you don't have to 789 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: go in the draft looking for what you need. And 790 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: this year we got some notable free agents. Let's throw 791 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: out some names here, just uh, kind of what's your 792 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: whistle a little bit for what's out there. We got 793 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo. I think, uh, we'll see interesting 794 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: because probably going anywhere here we go, Sammy Watkins, Jimmy 795 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: Graham down at about him, Ezekiel Anson might be the 796 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: best pass for available Malcolm Butler and true true Mayne 797 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: Johnson to lockdown corners also on the market. Let's teach 798 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: pick a couple here that are intriguing stories that we're 799 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: fall here. Start us off. Come on, this is easy. 800 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Captain Kirk Kirk Cousins at the top of 801 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: the list. Whatever you think about Kirk Cousins, it doesn't matter, 802 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: he is about to get paid. We may see the 803 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: first thirty million dollar player. And that's because Kirk Cousins 804 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: has put together three straight four thousand yards seasons. Say 805 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: what you want to about the supporting cast not having it. 806 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: He is consistent. He has been able to deliver, and 807 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: in a system where he's really supported by big time 808 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: playmakers on the outside, who knows how good Kirk Cousins 809 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: can be. Because of that, and because he has been 810 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: so consistent, I believe he is going to be a 811 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: coveted free agent when he hits the market in March. 812 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Denver the two teams I wrote down pick 813 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: one who I picked the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos 814 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: to me on the veteran route before with a perfect spot. 815 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: He has two veteran receivers. Um. I just think it 816 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: makes sense. And then that defense can play. He should 817 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: be able to finally play comfortably. I think that's a 818 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: good fear for him. All right, I like that as well. 819 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to my first one here. Allen Robinson. 820 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: Everybody forgot about him got hurt earlier this year. Uh 821 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: didn't play, So we we talked about a player that 822 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: is a true number one. My opinion had some big 823 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 1: gears for the Jagson. Again, this is not the most 824 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: accurate dude throwing in the ball either, so he's got 825 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: a lot of production, could have a lot more production. 826 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: But man used to me, I think he can do everything. 827 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: Third down, red zones, that's my definition of the number 828 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: one wide receiver. Guys that can dominate in those two situations. 829 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: He can do that. I think he's gonna make somebody 830 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: very happy the team. That comes to my mind, not 831 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: just because hype them back. There's a big Bears fan. 832 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: Bears needs some help, they need some weapons, and I 833 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: think Allen Robinson would be a great addition. Ah Shan 834 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: Jeffrey like, but I think he's a little more more 835 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 1: dynamic than Osha and he would give them a legitimate 836 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: number one command some of that. And then you know, 837 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: he's used to being a cold weather player, spend his 838 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: collegiate days in Happy Valley for pn State. I think 839 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: it's a nice fit. Give me another name, Jarvis Landry. 840 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry is a prolific slot receiver, one of the 841 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: best to ever do it. And you know, look, ideally, 842 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily text book. He's not necessarily teaching tape 843 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to playing the position. But he's a 844 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: sand live player, a guy that understands how to get 845 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: it done. I could see him being a very productive 846 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: player and an offense that needs someone that can make 847 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: things happen in the slot. Love his run after catch, 848 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: a buildy, his ability to make things happen. Yeah, he 849 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: is man, he's aggressive. I love the temperament he plays 850 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: with their uh Jarvis Landry will be a good fine 851 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: for somebody. Truemaine Johnson for the Los Angeles Rams again 852 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: shut down corner. I guess that kind of retired with Dion, 853 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: but he is a big, physical receiver. You see him 854 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: matching up with al Seon Jeffrey in this clip right here. 855 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: But some of those power forward receivers you gotta face, 856 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: he is a great matchup for them. He's got really 857 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: really good ball skills. Um to me, I think he's 858 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: gonna be a very very intriguing name out there on 859 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: the market. This reminds me a little bit of Gonna 860 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: Keep to Leave, you know. I think keep to Leave 861 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: is capable. If you plug him in and you've got 862 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: another good corner man, you get a little smaller corner 863 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: that can match up with the speed guy him to 864 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 1: match up. Man, you've got something going there. Absolutely, long 865 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: long arms can challenge you in a bunch of different ways. 866 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: Has good ball skills. I think he's a terrific player. 867 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: I'll be interesting to see what happened with him free agency. 868 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: Just around the corner. All right, college football season is 869 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: wrapped up, is it? Yeah? It did, Buck. I know, Uh, 870 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: as much as you love this pick segment that we 871 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: do every week, we can roll the final standings here 872 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: and it looks like we've got a two time champ here. 873 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: Back to back. Kent was able to get it done. Wow, 874 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: one seven and fifty six. I came in second place, 875 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: really darn proud, to be honest with you, sneaking in there. 876 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: Sully had to go, uh, I had to go opposite 877 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: the Kent in the championship games. So he dropped down 878 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 1: to third, and Bucky made a strong push there at 879 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: the end. Up somewhere somewhat. I'm embracing the process and 880 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: exactly building up from just building building assets, building assets 881 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: for next year. But I thought, since he won, we 882 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: have yet to have I don't know if Kent's got 883 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: a chance to talk on the show. But we want 884 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: to be gracious in defeat and I want to hear 885 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: from Kent behind the glass. So, uh, Kent, just a 886 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: few words for us here. What do you think is 887 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: is the key to your success? Just watching a lot 888 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: of college football and each week talking to you guys 889 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: about Yeah, it looks like we've lost Kent. That's una. 890 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened there. 891 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: You know what I can't. It's it's life playing for 892 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Sometimes when you're opposing team, I 893 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: don't know what happened. Congratulations. The highlight of the title game. 894 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: I watched it with Sally, watching him have to try 895 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: to find a reason to cheer for Bama or Georgia 896 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: was worth being there and watching that. That was pretty 897 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: I was pretty painful. Three three and a half hours. Guys. Well, 898 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: oh well, I wish I could say Phil bad for 899 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: third place. I'll take it. I guess I can't once again. 900 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: Next year, Bucky, We'll get him next year. Yeah, let's hope. 901 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: So all right, Sally, nice work.
