1 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Great to be back here with you. On another Monday 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: here on moved the sticks. Drett Lewis here with our 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: former NFL scouts Lee Draft Animist Stadeum, Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: on a week ten that saw a tunnel blowouts, but 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: we saw some things coming back full circle. It felt 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: like things maybe water finding its level in some cases, 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: some teams identifying what to expect from them moving forward. Guys, 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: let's keep this thing off here like we always do 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: with our Big three, and we'll start with the Chiefs. 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: That's a bit more like am I right, Casey finally 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: figuring out? Figuring it out? Mahomes back to his old tricks. 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Over four hundred yards, five touchdowns, thirtieth career game with 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: three d plus passing yards, passing our Hall of Famer 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner for the most such games in the player's 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: first five seasons. Chiefs win the turnover battle, which feels 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: like for the first time like this season, and they 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: get the big win forty one to fourteen. So DJ 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes said after the game, I think the whole 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: team got their swag back. Felt like it how they 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: do it well. I think back to that movie, right 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: the famous movie Field of Dreams. If you build it, 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: he will come. This is if you will be patient, 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: the big plays will come. And that's what they did 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: in this gating. We've been asking the Chiefs to do this. 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: In that first quarter, throws under ten are yards. Patrick 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes six of six with a perfect quarterback rating and 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Take those layups. The threes are gonna come, Buck. 28 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: They did a nice job of being patient in this game. 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: And then those explosives started to pile up. They did 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: started to pile up, and when I look at Pat Mahomes, 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: I felt like he channeled his inner Steph Curry. He 32 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: went into the pay a couple of floaters, a couple 33 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: of layups, and then the three ball came easy for him. 34 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: And they did it because Andy Reid did a great 35 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: job of really sitting in some screen passes, some swings 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: to the running back make it easy for him. And 37 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: because they were able to throw it really quick, really 38 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: efficiently to the backs of those screens and things, the 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: rest of the game came easy and Pat Mahomes was 40 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: able to regain the confidence, that confidence that really made 41 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: him a superhero in that quarterback. You guys really nailing 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: it with your analogies here today we go. We got 43 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: the NBA and the MLB already. This is this is big. 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you an NHL reference here, but 45 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: I will say that you talked about getting it out 46 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: to the screen game and the running backs of being 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: a big part of the passing game. This is the 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: first game this year in which Patrick Mahomes was pressured 49 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: less than thirty percent of the time on his dropbacks, 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: and well play action was probably a big part of 51 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: that as well. At four touchdowns on play action passes here, 52 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and they were kind of creative. You saw that no 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Ah great touchdown, kind of faking the block right skipping 54 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: into the end zone and Mahomes hit him right away. 55 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: A couple of those plays. Man, just it felt like 56 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: everything was truly back to normal for the Kansas City 57 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: Chiefs in this game. Now, can they keep it up right? 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: Can they replicate this? It was great to see Mahomes 59 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: not turned down some of those easy completions. Well, they're 60 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: not going to see what the Raiders did defensively, and 61 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: that's a good point. What was the departure from what 62 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: you've seen other teams? Do the Raiders kind of do 63 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: what they do. They're gonna play single high, they're gonna 64 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: play cover three. But there were opportunities that presented themselves 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: in this game that we had necessarily seen in other games, 66 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: even to the point where you and other teams using 67 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: speed to miyror Patrick Mahomes. So when he did climb 68 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: up in the pocket, there was somebody that could really 69 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: run their waiting for him Buck. There was no such 70 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: player there for the Raiders in this one. Yeah, the 71 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: Raiders took an attack because we've seen so many teams 72 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: have success against Kensey, the Chiefs playing too deep coverage, 73 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: really sitting back, making him test the discipline and patience 74 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: of Pat Mahomes, and the Raiders didn't do that. And 75 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: so you allowed Pat Mahomes a get into a rhythm 76 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: and once he got into a rhythm in Snowball. So 77 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that because Bradley didn't take a different text. Well, 78 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: let me ask you this then, because I mean, is 79 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: it just is that difficult for a team that doesn't 80 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: play that way on a week to week basis too 81 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: then kind of morph themselves in the framework of a 82 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: game plan week to try and do that. Here's the 83 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: thing why they didn't because Bradley spent a lot of 84 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: time working on the money Kiff and he wanted to 85 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: originators of Tampa two number two, like they have that 86 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: in the bag. I'm sure they've talked about that, They've 87 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: used that coverage at times. I'm just surprised that they 88 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: didn't feature it as opposed to using it as a compliment. 89 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: We've seen how many problems other teams have given Pat 90 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: Mahomes by sitting back into deep covers, not blissing him 91 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: and daring him to make the check down down the field. 92 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: They didn't necessarily do it made it easy for him. 93 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: I can't say it enough. I mean, when you watch 94 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: them and the plays like this one right here, even 95 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: though it's throwing the whole field, when Patrick Mahomes can 96 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: climb up with his shoulders parallel to the line of scrimmage, 97 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: the whole field has opened him. It's access to him. 98 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: If you force Sammy gets out, he's rushing to flush 99 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: to the right, flushing to the left behind the line 100 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. At least you shrink the field a little 101 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: bit when you allowed him to climb up and you've 102 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: got nobody waiting there. For him. This is what happens, 103 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: and in the blink of an eye, the Chiefs have 104 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: gone from worst to first West right, but everyone else 105 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: just about a half game behind. So it's it's not 106 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: over by any stretch of the imagination, as long as 107 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs can replicate what we saw on Sunday night. 108 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: Let's move the game two of the Big three, and 109 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: that takes us to a snowy lambeau Field. The least 110 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: of was snowing before the game. Uh, it felt like 111 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: it was probably snowing all game. For Russell Wilson in 112 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: his return here, this was a game build this, you know, 113 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: the return of two elite starting quarterbacks. It's tough to 114 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: score points in this game, especially for the Sea Hawks 115 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: shut out for the first time with Russell Wilson asked 116 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: their quarterback. Packers didn't score six until A. J. Dillon 117 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: got into the end zone at the ten minute mark 118 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter. He did it again later in 119 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: the game and they end up winning seventeen to nothing. Here, 120 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: But Bucky at Packers defense is Roland right now? What 121 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: are they doing so well? I mean, Joe Barry has 122 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: this group going and what I think is a combination 123 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: of great scheme with a great personnel scheme. Was what 124 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: they're doing is doing a better job of keeping the 125 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: ball in front of the defense. And you're seeing these 126 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks today facing Calin Murray, Pat Mahomes, Russell Wilson, they're 127 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: having a tough time moving the ball down the field. 128 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: You see the four interceptions that they've combined for how 129 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 1: the passer rating is all under seventy five. Great defense 130 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: with the combination of pressure that's outstanding. The means down 131 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: from those elite quarterbacks. Great job, that's pretty good right there. 132 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: And look, you know, looking at Russell Wilson coming back, 133 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it was you know, not being 134 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: a hund percent with the finger or the rust, but 135 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: he was off more so than we have seen in 136 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: russ Off in a long time. Like to further illustrate, 137 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy who's oh for seven with 138 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: an interception on deep balls. That's the most deep attempts 139 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: for Wilson without a completion in the next gen stats era, 140 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: which goes back to two thousand and sixteen. And then 141 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: when he gets out of the pocket outside of the 142 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: tackle box two interceptions like that, that's where he's most dangerous. 143 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: It just didn't have it on this day. No, he didn't. 144 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: And when I look at the big picture here with 145 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, that's really the question. That's what's fascinating 146 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: to me, because when you think about the end of 147 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: the season. Now they're three and six, it's a seventeen 148 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: game season. It's not over yet, but they pile up 149 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: a couple more losses. Now you're full on evaluation mode 150 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: and you talk about I want to see young players 151 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: and see what they can do and evaluate your roster. 152 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: To me, you need to take a holistic approach to 153 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: this roster and see is this something that we have 154 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: a championship window that's still open here with Russell Wilson, 155 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: or is this a situation where this is a full reboot. 156 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: You've got an older coach and Pete Carroll, you've got 157 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: an aging roster. Last year, you only had three picks 158 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: in the draft, not a first round pick. Next year, 159 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: you're without your first pick that goes to the Jets 160 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: again this year, and that Jamal Adams straight It looks 161 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: on the surface that this could be kind of a 162 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: reset period for John Schneider and the Seattle Seahawks. That 163 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: the culmination of this season is gonna be fascinating to 164 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: determine what they do with their future planning. And Bucky 165 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: think about this. Russell Wilson after signing that contract extension, 166 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: it's got no more guaranteed money left on this deal 167 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. Same for Bobby Wagner 168 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: after he signed his big deal. Now they still have 169 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: some with Jamal Adams pocket. But man, is this is 170 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: this a situation where you would consider tearing this thing 171 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: down and seeing what you can get for Russell Wilson. 172 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: So there are a couple of different ways in DJ 173 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: and I can go back and forth on how to 174 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: do it. There's the way where you keep maybe the 175 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: big forward, you keep Russell, you keep Bobby wagging, you 176 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: have Jamal and maybe tell the locket, and you try 177 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: and build around those four guys much like the Atlanta 178 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: Falcons did doing one of their times and rebuilding a 179 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: round Matty. Or you can completely take it all the 180 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: way down to the studs. You get rid of Russo 181 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: to bring back draft picks. You try and see if 182 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: you can hit on that magical draft that you did 183 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven which gave them damfetus to be able 184 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: to take a running back to back Super Bowls. This 185 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: is tough because the coach is older. Does the coach 186 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: want to stick around for an older rebuild as an 187 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: older player to rebuild this team. We'll see what it 188 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: looks like. The other side of it is, not only 189 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: does John Schneider need to evaluate this roster, I guarantee 190 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: you that Russell Wilson is evaluating this roster to let 191 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: it be known whether or not he wants to stay 192 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: there going forward, because if he doesn't feel like this 193 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: team is close over the next couple of years, he's 194 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: got a few years left in his prime prime. I 195 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: know Tom Brady has kind of changed all the narrative 196 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: with that, but you look historically these next three years, 197 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: four years, that's the period here for Russell Wilson. If 198 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: this roster is not ready to go, and I'm Russell Wilson, 199 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: I might be trying to force my way Seattle. Yeah. 200 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean, well that's what we talked about for the 201 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: yea that he got buried because the Aaron Rodgers thing 202 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: happened right after that and it just like disappeared. Yeah, 203 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: and they tried to smooth it all out and make 204 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: it better. I mean like, I just feel like, you 205 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: don't go out and make a move and give up 206 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: all that draft capital for a player like Jamal Adams. 207 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: If you're not prepared to stick with this runculate. What 208 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: if you just miscalculate You thought you were this close 209 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: and it turns out you're this close. I don't know. 210 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: I just feel like we don't see teams often admit 211 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: that kind of mistake. I think they'd be hard pressed 212 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: to admit it because they're so all the way in 213 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: and to think about their future without Russell Wilson is 214 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: really hard, particularly because Russell's play so well. He's been 215 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: a dependable and reliable piece. You move off from here 216 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: to kind of go into the lottery to get what 217 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: and what we don't know. It's gonna be tough for 218 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: the seat. It's gonna be fascinating. Yeah, it is, certainly. 219 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: And look, they're not out of it, right this is 220 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: seven season, they're three and six. I mean, like, you know, 221 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: if they can manage to finish with you know, maybe 222 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: only losing one or two more games, they're they're very 223 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: much in this thing. So a lot left to figure 224 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: out over the course of the next eight weeks. All right, 225 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: let's get to our final game here the Big Three, 226 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: and for that we're gonna go to Nashville, where two 227 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: teams voided their best offensive players did battle here, Derrick Henry, 228 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: Julio Jones down from the Titans, Alan Camara out on 229 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: the Saints. Titans built a lead early, Saints fought back, 230 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: came within a two point conversion of tying this day 231 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: up in the final minutes, Titans. They'll get their sixth 232 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: straight wind and sit at eight and two, a top 233 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: the a f C D top seed in the a 234 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: f C. This is what they've done in the last 235 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: five averaging close to thirty a game, giving up just 236 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: over twenty and plus eight in the sack differential. Uh 237 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: DJ is going to have a bit more on that 238 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: a bit later in the show with Jeffrey Simmons and 239 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Harold Landry in company. But I think that illustrates maybe 240 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: one of the biggest pictures of this Titans team, and 241 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: that's physicality. Teach. Yeah, I don't know that they're ever 242 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna win box scores with the way they play. They 243 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: don't care about that. They're gonna get on the field, 244 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: and there's certain teams you play against, you know, Okay, 245 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: win or lose, we're gonna be really sore after this 246 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: ballgame is over. And that is the Tennessee Titans, specifically 247 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: with their front and we'll show some plays later on 248 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: to see how they're able to execute and get that 249 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: done up front. But Buck, if you know you've got 250 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: Tennessee on the schedule, I don't care who's in the lineup, 251 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: who's out of the lineup. Get ready for a street fight. Yeah, 252 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: you have to get ready for a street fight because 253 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: their call record is their toughness and in physically they might. 254 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: Rebel has made sure that each and every week when 255 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: you see the Tennessee Titans, that stuff stands out on tape. 256 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: And what I like about it is they made that 257 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: a premium over everything else because this is a team 258 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: that are down several top players who there Jones is out, 259 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: King Henry is sitting on the show. But it doesn't matter. 260 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: They figure out a way to win games and scout 261 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: style points don't matter. This is a team that has 262 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: really taken on the personality of the coach. They're all 263 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: about the bottom line, and the bottom line of Tennessee 264 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: is winning. So style points may not matter in terms 265 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: of wins, but right now the Saints just don't have 266 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: any style and they don't have the wins point. I mean, 267 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: like that's yeah, that's just and that's not a knock 268 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: on on the Saints here and her injuries have deprived 269 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: them of all this. I mean, Michael Thomas down for 270 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: the year, of course, James Winston out for the year, 271 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: and we don't know how long Alvin Kamara is gonna 272 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: be out, but he wasn't there in this game. And 273 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: so you're like, where is your elite playmaker? And look, 274 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is as good at coaching, as good offensive 275 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: mind as there is, but at some point, like you 276 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: gotta have the horses to go out there and run 277 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: this race with it felt like they kind of fell short. 278 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean, like credits it hats off to mark Ingram 279 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: in this game becomes the Saints all time leading rusher. Uh. 280 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: You know, it was a big part of the comeback 281 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: effort for the Saints. But they're just missing pieces here. 282 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: I know your favorite band, Counting Crows had a song 283 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: called hanging Around, Remember that Jones exactly? Nice? Nice? No, 284 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: I think the Saints they hang around in football games. 285 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: They just don't quite have enough. I mean, that's what 286 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: it feels. But they're still in it. Man. If they 287 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: can just try and wide this wave and just stay 288 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: around five hundred, little over five hundred, maybe get some 289 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: guys back, and what an opportunity. Though again, if you 290 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: talk about missed opportunities with the a f C West 291 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: and trying to distance themselves from the Chiefs, I mean, 292 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: the Bucks have lost two in a row. Here Saints 293 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: come within a two point in version of a win 294 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: that would have tied them for first place in the South, 295 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: but that division is now very much up for grabs, 296 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: so not out of it. If they can get just 297 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more healthy. Newton's gonna run right in 298 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: the grass, breaks a tackle, freezing everybody celebrating touchdown right 299 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: side first play a touchdown, Well, Cam said it, so 300 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: I mean need to explain it and Stane lead eight. 301 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: We're talking about players, teams, and trends that are back 302 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: in a big way following your week ten Sunday going 303 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: into Monday Night football tonight. So let's kick this thing off, 304 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: Bucky with the Man of the Hour, of the Man 305 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: of the week, Man of the Day, Cam Newton, Cam 306 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: Newton is back, and I think Cam Newton really learned 307 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: a lot from his time in New England. I think 308 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: when you dig deep and you watched the interaction that 309 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: he had with his teammates, he certainly was not more 310 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: of the me guy that he appeared to be doing 311 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: his first in so the leadership abilities, the team first approach, 312 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: and I think what he's doing is he's going to 313 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: bring the energy and he's going to bring some of 314 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: that knowledge that he gained in that one year with 315 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: New England. I think it's gonna help the Pants be 316 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: a much better team just because of his leadership build 317 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: and with Christian McCaffrey back in the end up, perhaps 318 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: the Panthers can work their way back into the playoff 319 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: conversation here in the NFC as well. Much more on 320 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Cam Newton's two touchdowns in this game coming up in 321 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: our stop and Watch segment in just a Moment, but 322 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: also back this week, the Bill's offense. Following that six 323 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: point fair and that lost to the Jaguars, they got 324 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: back in a big way against the New York Jet. 325 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs big part of it season high hundred and 326 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: sixty two yards just a second one yard receiving game 327 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: this year after he let the legal on fire in 328 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: his first season with the Bills last year got into 329 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: the end zone as well. This felt like the Bill's 330 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: offense we came to know and love last year. I 331 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: think they are in fact back here dj, which reminds 332 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: me of the greatest win win trade we've seen it along. Yes, 333 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: because you had Digs going to the Buffalo Bills. The 334 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings used that draft pick for Justin Jefferson, who 335 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: had a chance to watch in that Chargers game. It 336 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: was off the charts. The Chargers had no answer for 337 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: him on every key down. They're able to find him 338 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: down the field. He was making plays. He was doing 339 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: things after the with his toughness and his physicality to 340 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: Von Campbell forced into action with Michael Davis being on 341 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: the shelf and Justin Jefferson got after him. Even Drew 342 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: drew a penalty on that one. He goes nine for 343 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: a buck forty three and was just a big time 344 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: number one wide out in this ball game. I mean, 345 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: he's a fantastic player. He was cooking with gas and 346 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why the Minnesota Vikes were 347 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: able to get on track, but another the end I 348 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: was able to get on track. How about on Thursday 349 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: night the Miami Dolphins in their defense. So much of 350 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: what we liked about the Dolphins while we thought there 351 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: would be a playoffs team was because of their defense. 352 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: It looks like Brian Floyd's got back in the lab 353 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: and he has this defense back to playing well. A 354 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: lot of cover zero, a let of all out precious 355 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: bluffing guys up under. But they are taking the game 356 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: to the offense and they're dictating the terms. And we 357 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: see when the Miami Dolphins able to control the game, 358 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: control a lot of scrimmage, they can win a lot 359 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: of games because their defense is good enough to get 360 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: it done. And Brian Flora is saying today expects to 361 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: a tungue Viloa to start for the Dolphins next week 362 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: against the New York Jets. Don't want to miss up 363 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: that opportunity for to against that Jets pass defense which 364 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: is struggled. Like home coming, that's what it feels like 365 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: right now. Okay, another area that was back um down 366 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: in Dallas, the Cowboys that proving the loss to the 367 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: Broncos last week just a blip on the radar. Cowboys 368 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: back in a big way. First win by forty plus points. 369 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: That's the turn of the century. When Randall Cunningham had 370 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: to start for Troy Aikman back in two thousand, Doc 371 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: was on it. Michael Gallup also back in the lineup 372 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: and was right back in the mix. You see on 373 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: this play just wide open there on a fourth down. 374 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Cowboys went oh for four on fourth 375 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: downs against the Broncos, perfect three for three on fourth 376 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: down against the Falcons. One of them ended up in 377 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Terrific day all around for Dallas getting it 378 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: done against the Atlanta Falcons. Teach, I want to know 379 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: what dan Quinn did after that game. That had to 380 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: be sweet. He had to enjoy against his old team. 381 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: I would agree it was just an absolute complete domination. 382 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: Really what we've seen from the Dallas Cowboys in the past, 383 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: which is all the different ways they can beat you offensively, 384 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: and then even when you're not you know, at your 385 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: best and you're missing some players upfront. Micah Parsons is 386 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: one of those guys just seems to make everything work. 387 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: He does make everything where dan Quinn's biggest impact has 388 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: been on the defense, getting the defense to play consistent. 389 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: Because they're playing consistently on death ed of ball, the 390 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: offense is able to do their work. We saw that 391 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: to come into fruition against the belp Let's keep it on. 392 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Indianapolis Colt to Somebody's back there. 393 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: Back to five. And this is a team if not 394 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: for a couple of heartbreaking losses to Baltimore and Tennessee, 395 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: and they'll be riting a seven game win streak right now, 396 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: we'd all be talking about them about how phenomenal that 397 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: they've been. So this coach team, they are beat you 398 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: up team. We talked about the Tennessee Titans, and you 399 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: see him in that matchup right there. That's a physical 400 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: affair Jonathan Taylor. As the season goes along, he's just 401 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: going to get stronger. Right now, Carson Wentz does not 402 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: have to do a whole lot for this team to 403 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: win football games, and right now they found it winning 404 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: formulae with formula is definitely working. You talked about Jonathan 405 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: Taylor and all of the running he is the best 406 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: young running back in football right now. Is at the 407 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: top of the charts Tyler Derrick Henry. But there's another 408 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: team that is running to football really really will. And 409 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: that's the Philadelphia Eagles. And I know I feel that 410 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: they talk about fly Eagles fly. I don't think they 411 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: want to take the flint these guys if they want 412 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: to win games, because they are running the ball successfully. 413 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: The last three games they've had at a minimum a 414 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five rushing yards. You see Boston Scott, 415 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, you have Jalen Hurst. The three of those 416 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: guys are just absolutely getting it done, taking turns leading this. 417 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: And so when I look at this Eagles team, their team, 418 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: they could get hot, and because they can run the 419 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: football and play a certain style, they can make life 420 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: difficult for some of these other teams in the NFC. 421 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: Weird that it took losing your most talented running rediscover 422 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: the right. It's kind of funny how it is. Whatever 423 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: works right? What else you guys, Yeah, I no doubt 424 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: look to me talking about things being back, ties her back, 425 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we gotta tie here. The Detroit Lions unfortunately not 426 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: going to be a seventeen lost team. Congratulations to the 427 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: Detroit lines. No, seriously, they were competitive. I know. The 428 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. You hate to see the injury there t J. 429 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: Watt Um, and this is a team that was out 430 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: without Ben Roethlisberger. Mason Rudolph was competent out there for 431 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: the Steelers. But look, it's one of those little quirks 432 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: with the NFL. I know, some people want to see 433 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: an overtime go on and let's get a winner. I 434 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: kind of like it. I kind of like getting these 435 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: random tie games. When you get to the postseason, we 436 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: get to the main end of the year, it is absolute, man, 437 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: that's what makes it fun. I don't know, man, I 438 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: think I'm with Naji Harris here, who had no clue 439 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: that there was so like knowledge. I mean like when 440 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: ties are back, we also get players acknowledging that they're 441 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: not familiar with the NFL overtime rules coming back as well. Naji, 442 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, Let's at least do some two 443 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: point versions here at the end, like the new college rules, right, 444 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: get nine overtimes or something. Let's have some fun with 445 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: you ties. Yeah, there you go. Ties are back, I guess, 446 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: for better or worse. Not on the show. No, no, no, 447 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: they're never coming back on this show. All right. Time 448 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: Now for the Scout stories. Take a look at the Chargers. 449 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: What has gone wrong with this team the last month? 450 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: They are one in three in their last four after 451 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: starting the season four and one, they're down, and points 452 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: per game they're up, and points per game allowed, the 453 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: point and totally are differentials are going the wrong way? 454 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: Uh DJ, I feel like it's time to put the 455 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Chargers in the body shop here a little bit, open 456 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: up the garage, let's back in that that Chargers van, 457 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: and let's see what the heck is going on here. 458 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: We know they've had trouble against the run on defense, 459 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: but now it feels like the issues are filtering into 460 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: the secondary in the past defense. Can you make some 461 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: sense of this? Yeah, it's interestingly I thought the run 462 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: defense has been a little bit better the last couple 463 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: of weeks, but now you look at some issues on 464 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: the back end. But I want to dig into some 465 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: deeper numbers here when you look at this football team, 466 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: because when you're calling the games, it sure feels like 467 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: they're on defense and awful lot more than they're on offense. 468 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: And it's sure proven itself out minus thirteen minutes in 469 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: time differential here over the last over those three losses, 470 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: third downs have been a big issue. Both offensively and defensively. 471 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: Offensively defensively fortent, so they've been letting drives continue on 472 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, inability to get off 473 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: the field. The secondary really struggled in this game minus 474 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: two starters. They've had their issues against the run previously Bucket, 475 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: but to me, the bigger issues are offensively where they've 476 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: lost their exclusiveness. They're not getting big chunk plays down 477 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: the field on third downs. They've had a combination of 478 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: pressure with sacks. They've had dropped passes. There's a lot 479 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: of different issues right now for this team to get 480 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: worked out. YEA, the team is struggling right now, and 481 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: one of the biggest guys that you have to fix 482 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: is the quarterback Justin Herbert and those three losses. He 483 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: hasn't completed over six percent of his passes, and two 484 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: of those losses he's had fewer than two hundred yards, 485 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: and that's not good enough for a guy who was 486 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: a superstar quarterback. And so part of that falls on 487 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: office coordinator Joe Lombardi to figure out a way to 488 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: get Justin Herbert loose. They got talented weapons on the outside. 489 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, keenan Allen. Those guys have to be unleased 490 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: and allowed to have a little freedom in their house, 491 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: because these guys should not be slowed down a by 492 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: what we're seeing from the defense. It's all about figuring 493 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: out a way to get your best players loose on 494 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: the permimer. So you brought up a great point to 495 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: meet Keenan Allen, the answers to the third down problems. 496 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: It's number thirteen. It's Keenan out. Let him get in 497 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: the slot and give him freedom. Let him run option routes. 498 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: Nobody in this league is gonna be able to cover 499 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. He has freedom. There's a play in this 500 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: game where you see him kind of run to get covered. Man, 501 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, let's free up Keenan Allen. Just let him work. Well, 502 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: we were just talking about the Titans scheming up ways 503 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: for Jeffrey Simmons to get free in that massive humanity 504 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: up front. Why can't we do that for Keenan Allen 505 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: in the chargers here, especially on third downs and especially 506 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 1: where you know he is just so difficult to deal 507 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: with as a route runner. Right, you give him a 508 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: couple of two way goes there on a dB. I 509 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: mean that's impossible to defend, so certainly makes a lot 510 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: of sense there. So I guess we we need a 511 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: like a new carburetor. Transmission is having some trouble, we 512 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: needed like a break overhaul as well. Um, this is 513 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: a team that has certainly hit the skids on the 514 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: flip side, though, I feel like it's time to take 515 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: a look at some teams that are poised to put 516 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: their pedal to the metal. Here, put it's down to 517 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: the floor. Some teams primed to go on a run. 518 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: And uh for that, Bucky, you get to lead us off. 519 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: Oh well, look, the Charges are struggling, and when they're struggling, 520 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: they allow the cancer the Chiefs to get back on track. 521 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: And so the cansie to trease our team that you 522 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: want to keep an eye on as they make a run. 523 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: If the quarterback is figured it out like it appear 524 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: did he figured out against the Raiders, look out because 525 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: the a f C does not want to see this 526 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: team come back, meaning that explosive version of the Can 527 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: City Chiefs where they're not turning it over and Pat 528 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes is playing great if he is hot, then the 529 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: kids the Chiefs are going to be a problem. Demonstrating 530 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: we just put the chargers in the body shop. Let's 531 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: go with the car analogy. The Chiefs are out of 532 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: pit row. They might have been in the pas trying 533 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: to figure things out. That car is back on the 534 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: track right now. They got lapped a couple of times, 535 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: but they have found their way back into the right now. 536 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Too many anos, too many. I'm gonna give you one more. 537 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers are shifting all right. Now. That's the 538 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: Panthers are can enroll in here with Cam Newton back 539 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: providing a spark, providing the energy. Do you see him 540 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: on the side spark how that's I don't even know it, 541 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: it's happening. It's subconscious at this point. Do you see 542 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: him on the sideline gather the whole offensive? I mean, 543 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: like the impact he has for this team extends beyond 544 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: what he can do for them on the field. Christian 545 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: McCaffrey is rolling. Check out the next couple of games here. 546 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: They've got Washington at home and then they got to 547 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: go to Miami to take on the Dolphins. Two winnable 548 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: games before they get a bye week. Settled down a 549 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: little bit, Get some guys, some more guys healthy, and 550 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: then they come back with Over the course of their 551 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: last five games, four of those five are division matchups. 552 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: Guess who the only team in the NFC South is 553 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: right now with an undefeated record in the division. The 554 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Carolina Commands at two and oh, so they've got two 555 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: against the Bucks. They will control their destiny in a 556 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: sense here in the NFC South at this point, Panthers 557 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: TJ can make a run. I like that. My might 558 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: chuck you a little bit, but way do you see 559 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: this schedule? The Philadelphi Eagles coming off of a big 560 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: win over the Denver Broncos Gona. Way, what look at 561 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: this schedule here going four, they've got a chance in 562 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: the roles without a quarterback. You've got the Giants, the Jets, 563 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: and Washington. The Eagles really have an opportunity to get 564 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: on a run here. And I use the word run 565 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: because Bucky hit on that earlier. The way they're running 566 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: the football, and then pay that off with Davante Smith 567 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: and quietly Jalen Hurts is playing very efficient, good football 568 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: over the last few games. Is Buddy Davante Smith rolling 569 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: like the early part of the season where he was 570 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: getting into the end zone, got a couple of TD 571 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: catches in this one, so that was nice to see it. 572 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: It feels like they really are firing on all cylinders. Wow. Uh, 573 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: that's it for the car analogies. Nobody on the set 574 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: even knows how to change a tire by you might 575 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: be read about that just called triple A. We expect 576 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham to make his debut for the Rams tonight 577 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football against the Niners, and they kind 578 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: of need him because Robert Woods unfortunately went down for 579 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: the season. You were from being a luxury item to 580 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: a necessity. And what they need O B J two 581 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: B is they don't need to be in number one received. 582 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: They need to be a nice compliment on the backside 583 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: of Cooper Cup and he certainly is able to do that. Now, 584 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: all the things that the Rams do certainly play into 585 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: the whalehouse of Odell Beckham Jr. Not only in the 586 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: past game, but all of the Jet sweeps because I 587 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: remember at l s U he was an accomplished part 588 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: of return and they've talked about him returning punts possibly 589 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: for the Rams. Let O'Dell touch the ball in the 590 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: vermin and good things will happen. It's also a way 591 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: to keep him engaged so you don't have some of 592 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: the issues that made it plagued him in Cleveland. And 593 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: I imagine that he'll eventually get a bigger role. As 594 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: the week's progress, I would say tonight you probably still 595 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: see a lot of Van Jefferson and and look, Cooper 596 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: Cup is this this the straw that stirs to drink 597 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: for the Ram's offense, that is for sure. Don't expect 598 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: that to change. Hoping this might change for the San 599 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners. Trey Lance's participation, DJ, I mean, yeah, please, 600 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, look, look, this is a three 601 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: and five football team right now. If you're not going 602 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: to start him, I guess I'm okay with that. But 603 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: let's start sprinkling him in. Give him some opportunities to 604 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: touch the football. You need more dynamic players, and that's 605 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: what he is. Had some injuries early on Buck, but 606 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: I I want to see what they have or with 607 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: trade Lance. Yeah, I mean certainly you want to see 608 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: what you can do to build around him, and so 609 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: put them on the field, let him get some opportunies 610 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: and let's see it. It's only so much you've can accomplish. Boy, 611 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: being on the sideline. At some point, you have to 612 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: play to get better. I mean, we we loved how 613 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: they used in at the end of the preseason, right yeah. 614 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: It just just have not been treated to that kind 615 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: of usage yet. I love seeing Trent Williams on that 616 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: play just absolutely destroyed people. But maybe we get to 617 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: see that tonight for the San Francisco forty Niners, who, 618 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: by the way, I have owned this matchup right there, 619 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: five and three against the Rams the last four years, 620 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: so I'll see if they can make it different quarterback 621 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: this time. That's right. That's right. Matthew Stafford running the 622 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: show for the MS and that's gonna do it for 623 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: this show. Here on your Move the Sticks Monday for 624 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: Bucky and dj onm Brett. We'll see you back here 625 00:27:45,760 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: next week. Moment ut
