1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to move the Sticks, DJ, Bucky

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: with you today. We've got abbreviated show Buck. We're on

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: the move. I am in Vegas. We've got Thursday night

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: football tonight, Chargers Raiders. You are on the move as well,

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: getting ready to hop on a flight, so we are.

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna squeeze one in today. But how you doing, man?

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Man, I'm good, I am great. I can't complain. I

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: love this time of year. Like we're down to the

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: final quarter of the NFL season, we got the college

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: football bowl games coming on, with college football playoffs all

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: this time, it's really exciting time.

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, we just recorded an interview with

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: Dave Ziegler, who was a general manager of the Raiders

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: for gosh what a year and a half after previously

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: spend a long time in New England. It's a full

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: trophy case there from his time doing a lot of

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: work on the pro side there on the pro side

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: of scouting. So we just did a really fascinating interview

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: with him, which will run tomorrow, so be on the

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: lookout for that on today's show. We're going to get to,

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, Buck's coaches corner. We're gonna do that just

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll get to the game of the week.

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: We're going to start, first of all, with these rookie

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: impact scores. We do this each and every week, Buck,

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: And there are some new names on here, one of

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: which I want to get to at the very top,

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: because the highest score for the week's Chase Brown, running

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: back for the Cincinnati Bengals, who is someone that we

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: both thought highly of as we were going through the

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: draft process.

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: Look, man, I had a chance to watching on Monday

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: night the week before, and you can see the juice.

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: They were beginning to mix him in split time with

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: him and Joe mixing, and you can tell the element

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: that he brings, catching the ball on screen passes, being

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: able to hit the perimeter on those off tackle runs.

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: He has the juice.

40
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny because sometimes it takes a

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: while for guys to get their opportunity, but he was

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: certainly ready for his opportunity. And I will say this,

43
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: the Bengals offense is a little different now that they've

44
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: given him more playing time. And as Zach Taylor's kind

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: of settled in with Jake Browning as his quarterback as

46
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: he kind of settled in with the personnelity that he has,

47
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: and brown has been a big part of what they're

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: doing and I think he's going to continue to have

49
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: a big role in this offense.

50
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, big time productive player at Illinois. He was five

51
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: nine two and nine pounds, ran four four to three,

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of a quick stepper. He reminded me a little

53
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: bit of Jamal Lewis. You know, if you remember how

54
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Jamal Lewis would run those quick little shopping yeah, yeah,

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: but he could really really go runs through contact as

56
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: a nasty stiff arm. He was a little bit tight.

57
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: He struggled a little bit and pass pro those were

58
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: the you know, that was the concern with him. But man,

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: to me, it also shows you having a little juice.

60
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: You know, you want to have one of your runners

61
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: have some juice, and you can have a power guy

62
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: if you want, but man, you gotta have somebody with

63
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: this dude's got juice.

64
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Well, the one thing that we've known is speed kills

65
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, And if you want to

66
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: have a team that has big plays or produce the turnovers,

67
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: you gotta have fast guys at marquee spots and at

68
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: running back. Brown is another example of when you have

69
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: these guys that can take into distance, man, it just

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: changes the equation for the offense. It's too hard to

71
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: play offensive football in today's game, where you're having ten

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: plays to go eighty yards, you have to have an

73
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: explosive play. There's a direct correlation between producing an explosive

74
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: play and putting points on the board. And so the

75
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: more guys that you have that has that explosion, the

76
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: more likely you can be able to deliver some of

77
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: those big plays.

78
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: How about this thought, because we talked about how this

79
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: league has gone to shell coverage two highst looks limit

80
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: big plays in the passing game, one of the things

81
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: that maybe that might lend itself to is running backs

82
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: with the juice. Maybe you trying to say, Okay, this

83
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: was our target for explosive plays, whereas in the past,

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: we're going to get eighty percent of them in the

85
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: past game. Maybe there's a way we can manufacture a

86
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: couple in the run game by getting the eight chance.

87
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: The Browns, like some of these young backs with juice.

88
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: You saw Keaton Mitchell doing it with the Ravens. But

89
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: we can go on on those guys with juice and

90
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: burst man, you can sneak in some of those extra

91
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: explosives in the run game.

92
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think we are seeing that, and I think

93
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: some of the stuff that we're seeing from the Miami

94
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: Dolphins to end the rounds, the reverses, the Niners have

95
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: been on that train a little bit. When you have

96
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: these explosive athletes that you can line up in different

97
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: places and hit them with the jet sweeps and those things,

98
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: we're seeing that they can outrun the defense and you

99
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: want big plays. Everyone wants like these explosive plays where

100
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: in the run game runs of ten or more yards,

101
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: in the passing game, passes completed twenty yards or more, you.

102
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: Have to have it.

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: I think DJ with the shell coverage has not only

104
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: being able to run around them, but it's also the

105
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: ability to catch a check down and turn a five

106
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: hour pass into a fifteen to game.

107
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: Great point.

108
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: All these things are beginning to matter in today's game.

109
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: I can't throw it over top, but then maybe we

110
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: can run around Yeah. No, it's a great point. So

111
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: he was a top dog this week in terms of

112
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: the score. When you look at some of the rest

113
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: of these names on here. Tommy DeVito, how about him?

114
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: He was in second place seventeen point eight points, Bijon

115
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: not a surprise, teen point six, Zay Flowers fifteen points,

116
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Will Levis with fifteen points. When you look at the

117
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: teams that had the biggest impact scores, I feel like

118
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot of the same teams. But the Ram

119
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: or sorry, the Packers first, followed by the Rams, the Titans,

120
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and the Giants. Now when you look at

121
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: the Giants, it's not only to Vito. Deontay Banks he's played.

122
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: He played seventy three snaps this week, had twelve tackles.

123
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Think about tackles that the corners that can tackle. How

124
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: about that twelve tackles of TfL in the pass defense.

125
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Hyatt only thirteen receiving yards, but he's playing a

126
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: good bit. And then John Michael Smith's is starting at center.

127
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: So the Giants in their turnaround it you know it.

128
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Look de Veto is getting a lot of credit. Won

129
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: three of those four starts, done some nice things. But

130
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: you're also seeing the offensive line play better. And I

131
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: think Deontay Banks is one of a nice young nucleus.

132
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: You look at Dexter Lawrence, you look at Thibodeau, what

133
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: he's done. Deontay Banks, they're forming a really good young

134
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: defensive group here that can grow together.

135
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are forming a nice group.

136
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Deontay Banks showed up like, makes some plays down the

137
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: end zone, some PBUs and that stuff.

138
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: DJ is funny.

139
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Like they got to a point where they were in

140
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: a desperate mode, so they decided to put the young

141
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: guys on the field lor and behold the young guys

142
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: woul kind of help them come out of it. People

143
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: will talk a lot about Tommy Devita, and I think

144
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: Tommy DeVito has really done a good job. He's taking

145
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: care of the ball, He's added something with the athleticism

146
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: in those things. But it's the other young guys that

147
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: they have playing around jaylen Hye being able to get

148
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: on the field.

149
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: You talked about Banks and some of the other young cats.

150
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: There's something about like I would say that youthful energy,

151
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: but more so that athleticism that they bring to the table.

152
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: If you have the right coaches that can simplify the

153
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: game for them and allow that athleticism to come through,

154
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: you see that it's a game change, and the Giants

155
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: have been playing better because the young guys have been

156
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: making attributions.

157
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about one name that I

158
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: mentioned a second ago, and that is when you look

159
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: at the Tennessee Titans and Will Levis and what he's done,

160
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: have you seen enough? Like not all? I think he's

161
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: going to be the starter going in it next year.

162
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the first question about that. But

163
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: have you seen enough there to get legitimately excited that

164
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's a chance this is going to

165
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: be a really, really big hit or is this just

166
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: the best they have right now?

167
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: I'm still making I'm still constantly optimistic on Will Levis.

168
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: Here's what I would say, and I maybe I didn't

169
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: appreciate it enough about it DJ. Being a competitor can

170
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: take you a long way, and I will say this

171
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: about Will Levis. It's not perfect. He paints outside the lines.

172
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: There are things that he does that makes you.

173
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: Be like, oh no.

174
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: But his toughness, his enthusiasm, his energy, the energy that

175
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: he's brought to the team has changed. His willingness to

176
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: challenge DeAndre Hopkins and some of the other guys when

177
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: they make mistakes, all of that stuff is positive. And

178
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: as Mike Rabel talks about, like trying to get him

179
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: the channel it the right way.

180
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: It's a lot better for me to say whoa, then

181
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: get it.

182
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: Yep.

183
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: He has some of that stuff that you look for.

184
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, if I'm a Titans fan, I'm cltiously optimistic

185
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: that he might be the next one to be the

186
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: QB one for a long time in Tennessee.

187
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I look, he's totally different player than Brock Purty,

188
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: but Brock Purty was the perfect quarterback for Kyle Shannon.

189
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: I think Will Levis is a culture match. He's a

190
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: DNA match for the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee Titans have been

191
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: the bruising, bully, physical Mike Rabol team. This is the physical,

192
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: bruising bully quarterback Like he doesn't. I don't think that

193
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: this works everywhere, but I actually think this thing works

194
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and DJ.

195
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have this conversation like going forward

196
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: about quarterbacks because people are talking about system quarterbacks and

197
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: those things. I don't nessary know if it's about the system,

198
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: that's a little bit of part of it.

199
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: But once you brought up culturally cultural fits the quarterback.

200
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: I think being able to match quarterbacks up with the

201
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: environment that they're stepping into. That might be the biggest

202
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: part of talk about Brock Freddy with the Niners, will

203
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: Levis with the Titans. There may be something to that this.

204
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: You got to have this kind of quarterback to play

205
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: in this city, and it won't work everywhere, but it

206
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: certainly works in Tennessee, will Levis does.

207
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the continue to continue to collect guys,

208
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: big physical players on the outside, big physical tight ends,

209
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: and just embrace that that brand of football. Let him

210
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: add onto the running game hopefully slide eventually. Maybe eventually eventually.

211
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Like like it was funny because everybel came out and

212
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 2: told them, maybe showed them videos to slide. So next

213
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: time we're going to show him people getting knocked off.

214
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: Maybe gotta change him. Maybe maybe he has to be

215
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: scared straight.

216
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think I think he's snuck in

217
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: an extra I think he's snuck in an extra word

218
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: in there.

219
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: He did, he did, he did, he did. We're kid friendly.

220
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: We're kid friendly program.

221
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: And there you go, there you go. By the way

00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: They were like sixty back then when we were scouting.

247
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I was like, didn't care.

248
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: Oh man, you're a different guy. I gotta I gotta

249
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: get the car belly. You know, it takes too long.

250
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 2: We in and out, We're in and out. We're trying

251
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: to we're trying to get in, We're trying to get out.

252
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 2: And remember the un V there facility and all that

253
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: was on the back side of the strips.

254
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: I know, a like so what so this was the

255
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: expert move what I would do, and you might I

256
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: don't think we were ever at UNLV together, but I

257
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: would have my brother in law, who I think was single, Yeah,

258
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: it definitely was single at the time. He we would

259
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: he would drive out with me. I got front door service,

260
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: but he dropped me off at un l V. He'd

261
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: go back want to do and then come back and

262
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: pick me up. It was, it was, it was easy.

263
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Those are those are good scouting days. Not a lot

264
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: of players on those UNOV teams either, unfortunately, I know.

265
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: You know, like the only thing I remember is when

266
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: John Robinson had taken over UNOV, and I just really

267
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: like going to I think God JT. Thomas, who's the quarterbay,

268
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: a big old quarterback that they had left handed, were

269
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: trying to make a guat But UNFV was always the

270
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: first visit because the way that I did from the

271
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: West coast, I would go through UNV up to Utah

272
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: and then around the West coast.

273
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, try try and knock that out UNV right away.

274
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: All right, take quick break, we come back. It's the

275
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: MTS Game of the Week.

276
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: It's time for the MCS Game of the Week, presented

277
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: by We have King Sportsbook. This week is the Cowboys

278
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: at the Buffalo Bills. The spread is minus too favoring

279
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: the Bills to over. Under is fifty and a half.

280
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: DJ.

281
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: We talked about it.

282
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 2: I feel like we kind of said we kind of

283
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 2: talked the Buffalo Bills up a few weeks ago. We

284
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: talked about the team that no one wants to face

285
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: if they got into the tournament. I feel like Sean

286
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: McDermott and company were listening. They got this thing going

287
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: back on track. It's just become the Josh Allen Show

288
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: with a little bit of James Cook, a little bit

289
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: of step On Diggs, Dalton Kin Kate making us the place.

290
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: But the offense is beginning to look like the offense

291
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: that we expected. They're beginning to get confidence and so

292
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a huge challenge for the Dallas Cowboards.

293
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sent in my prediction for the games. I

294
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: have to do that. Our buddy Shoppy asked us to

295
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: do that. So I sent it in and I said

296
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo thirty one to thirty. I thought, like, kind of

297
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: a shootout game. Well, something happened between when he got

298
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: it and when it got posted on YouTube, and it

299
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: ended up being I had Buffalo winning thirty one to ten.

300
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: Figure out, I had Cowboy, I had Cowboy fans. Just oh,

301
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: bad names. I'm talking about names. Oh, you don't want

302
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: anybody to be called I'm being called everything. And I'm like, man,

303
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: I remember going in on the Cowboys. I kind of

304
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: gave him some flowers for the way they beat up

305
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles last week. And then and then somebody

306
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: posted the screen grab like how could you do this?

307
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, I didn't.

308
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: I didn't do that throw Oh wow city, Yeah, I

309
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: got caught. So now I ended up they ended up

310
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: making the change, and I'm like, wow, what if they

311
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: did blow him out? Man, I would be looking like

312
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: a genius.

313
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 2: Uh, doctor, got you out there bad? But you know,

314
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: you know DJ, here's the thing Buffalo has been playing. Well,

315
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: they're coming off that controversial a little bit when over

316
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: the Kan City Chiefs, even though Cadarius Tony was way

317
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: off size and he'd been also a handful of plays

318
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 2: otherwise that people that pointed out, maybe he needs.

319
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: To check with the referee. Why not, like they yeah,

320
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: just just look. But this team has a lot of confidence.

321
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: There was a huge win emotionally for the team because

322
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: other people were coming after Sean McDermott getting a win

323
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: like that. The way the offense is beginning to play,

324
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: I believe that they're looking at this Cowboys game as

325
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: a launch bad game, a game that could kind of

326
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: send them rocketing into the postseason.

327
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: Because they knock off the Cowboys, you feel pretty confident.

328
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: They gonn win the rest of the games and they

329
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: have a chance the Cowboys, on the other hand, man,

330
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people that are singing Mike

331
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: McCarthy's praises.

332
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: I'm one of them.

333
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: I think he's done a really good job with Dak Prescott.

334
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott's playing some of the best football that we've seen.

335
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: They're doing it a little differently with the creativity. They're

336
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: controlling the ball, they're protecting the defense, and it's worked

337
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: for them. The thing that we have to see from

338
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. They knocked off the Eagles, but they're still

339
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: kind of like this hesitancy to jump all the way in.

340
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: How are they going to be or how are they

341
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: going to perform against another good team. This will be

342
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: another test for us to kind of see if we

343
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: can go all in on the Cowboys or if they're

344
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: just the kings of the Cupcakes.

345
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

346
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: Look, I'm looking forward to seeing what Josh Allen does

347
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: in this game. This Dallas group that put they can

348
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: heat you up, and they can be creative and how

349
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: they get home with their pressure. So I'm anxious to

350
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: see a can they block them up front? And then

351
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: can Josh Allen put on his cape and kind of

352
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: do some of the crazy stuff we saw him do

353
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: last week, which is fully capable of doing it. So

354
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo again the team I don't think anybody wants to face.

355
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: Miami started to struggle a little bit. What we saw

356
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: the other night was not pretty for them against Tennessee Titans.

357
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: Opens the door a little bit for Buffalo. So both

358
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: teams a ton to play for in terms of trying

359
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: to position themselves properly in the playoffs, and I'm looking

360
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: forward to this game, and I do think it's going

361
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: to be a shootout. I think it's gonna be a

362
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: high scoring game.

363
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: It should be fun though, It should be fun. These

364
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: are the kind of games that we love to see

365
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: and the reason why we love to see him. You've

366
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: got two good quarterbacks, you got a lot of energy.

367
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: A lot of electricity. Is going to have a playoff atmosphere.

368
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: So we'll see what is like up in Buffer. That

369
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: was the MTS Game of the Week presented by Draft

Speaker 3: The Crown is Yours all.

375
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: Right, abbreviated Bucky's Coaches Corner. The word today is authentic Mark.

376
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: You got to be who you are. You have to

377
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: be who you are. And look, there's a pod that

378
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: would drop on Friday.

379
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: Dave Ziggler from formerly of the Raiders, but with the Patriots,

380
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: and we talked about all the ideals and why maybe

381
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: the Patriot way hasn't worked other places, and some of

382
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: it may be tied to authenticity. What you always want

383
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: to do is when you're standing from the room, you

384
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: want to be able to make sure that the things

385
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: that you say, the things that you talk about the

386
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: culture being, that you believe in those things, and you

387
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: want to do it within your own personality. So if

388
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: you're not a row right guiy, then don't be a

389
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: raw right guy because your kids, your players, your team

390
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: members will see through it. If you're a guy that's

391
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: very energetic and emotional, then you have to let that

392
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: show through. The thing that you have to be is

393
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: you have to be consistent in your personality, consistent in

394
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: your demeanor, and consistent in the things that you present.

395
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: Because if you're that, you're authentic, and authenticity is what

396
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: sales and it builds the trust and the bond between

397
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: you and your team.

398
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: I think of authenticity. Another aspect of that is don't

399
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: bring people in and ask them to be something that

400
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: they're not. And that can be from a personality standpoint,

401
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: that can be from a play standpoint, Hey, that's not

402
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: how you play, that's not who you are asking you

403
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: to be this enforcer. That's not who you were in college,

404
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: that's not what you've shown in the past, you win

405
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: with your speed and your quickness. So I'm not going

406
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: to ask you to try and be the big bully

407
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: on the block. Don't. Don't try and be that guy.

408
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. And there's ways that I think

409
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: people get that screwed up in the evaluation process, asking

410
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: guys to be something that they're not. That's an authenticity problem.

411
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: That is an authenticity problem, and that's why people have

412
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: to be You got to be you are.

413
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: I think that's the best way to do it, like

414
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: because it's easy to be who you are if you

415
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: liked it all twenty four seven, three sixty five.

416
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: If you try and be someone that you're not, it's

417
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: hard to keep the mask on.

418
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: And so if you're authentic, you have a best opportunity

419
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: to get the most out of people because you can

420
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: be consistent day in, day out, and people respect consistency.

421
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: No doubt.

422
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: There you go, there's Bucky's coach's corner. I do want

423
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: to remind everybody the Saturday showed that US back This

Speaker 1: interview that we've already recorded. I think you guys are

431
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: going to enjoy it. Learn a little bit more about

432
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: that kind of Patriot way, why it has and hasn't worked,

433
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: What can we learn from Bill Belichick that maybe you

434
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: don't already know. We're going to have a great interview

435

Speaker 1: coming your way tomorrow and next week we'll be back
