1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Well, let's get it roll on another Monday. Welcome to

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Move the Sticks time. Rent lewis here with our former

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: NFL scouts or lea draft anialist Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks,

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know about you guys, but week nine

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: worked out exactly how I drew it up. Don't just

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: don't check the picks. But yeah, we don't need to

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: go check the receipts. But we are going to get

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: into the drama and the chaos that was your Week

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: nine Sunday. And let's kick it off with our big

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: three like we usually do here on Move the Sticks

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Monday will start right next store. It's so far. How

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: about a little bit of a stunner here, not necessarily

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: in the result, but in the way in which it

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: happened off the jump for the Rams. Interceptions on back

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: to back throws from Matthew Stafford resulting in fourteen early

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: points for the Titans. You got a consistently dominant presence

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: up front from the Tennessee Titans, pressuring Matthew Stafford. And

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: how about an Adrian Peterson touchdown everybody? And what was

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: sixteen Titans win? Titans down the top seed in the

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: a f C and Bucky. I mean they basically dominated

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: physically in this game. Yeah. Absolutely. Mike Rayblehead is guys

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: opted for physicality over finesse. They beat the L A

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: rams up from beginning to end, and they wanted to

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: make it a heavyweight fight, and they did that. Body

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: blow after body blow. They did a great job of

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: getting after Matthew Stafford. And when you're able to get

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: after the quarterback, it really sets the tone for the

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: rest of your defense. This defense is one that you

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: look at him and you wonder who are the star players,

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: But man, they get after it as a group, and

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: the way that they come and they finished tackles, it

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: changes the way of the opponent's play. I want to

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: give John Robinson some love because as a general manager,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: your task not with just looking at tomorrow, but looking

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: out into the future and the draft. In twenty nineteen,

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: the selection of Jeffrey Simmons, who was coming off of

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: an A C. L. If you remember at that point

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: in time, you're gonna miss the first six games. But

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: he saw through that. This is my scattering report on

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons when he was coming out, just how explosive

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: he is he's got big time upper torque. The comp

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: that I'm down there was Fletcher Cox. So he's coming

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: off of an a c L. He's gonna miss six games,

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: but it was just a clean a c L. He's

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: going to be fine, and man, the payoff has come

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: in a big way for the types. They could not

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: block him, the Rams had no solution for him, and

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: this ball dominated, absolutely dominated the football game. It would

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: have been a top ten pick if not for the

50
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: a c L. Absolutely so teams passed on him because

51
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: of you know, six games. You didn't get six games

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: his rookie year. Well, I think it's John Robinson tip

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: of the cap. Nicely done. Yeah, and it's I guess

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: trying to do that again with Caleb Farley, who's gonna

55
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: let's see what happens there. But I really think that

56
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: we should give the Titans some credit their current crew

57
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: of defensive backs. I mean, Kevin Byrd right now is

58
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: playing the best safety in football. He's ahead to our

59
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: awards or midseason awards here in just a little bit,

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear Kevin Byrd's name again. But I want

61
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to go back to some of the other dbs that

62
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: they drafted recently. A money hooker made a huge stop

63
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: in this game, a real physical presence there. Elijah Molden

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: is a rookie in the third round, has done a

65
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: really really good work here for this team as well,

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: and get a buck. I know that we're not the

67
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: college football playoff, right, but if you look at resumes,

68
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: nobody has a better resume than what Tannescy Titans have

69
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: right now. No, absolutely talking about the team that has

70
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: beat up the Buffalo Bills. A bunch of playoffs teams,

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: come one, come all, and they've done it all in

72
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: similar faston. They beat them up to take them to

73
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the deep end, and most people can't survive. And so

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I think this is a recipe for its team that

75
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: can do this in the playoffs. Isn't It's hard match

76
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: up for a bunch of teams, you know? Question? And

77
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: it does feel like though that the Rams are going

78
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: to figure this out, that this is more this is

79
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: this is not necessarily an indictment on the Rams, but

80
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: more of a coronation of the Titans. Two ps right penalties,

81
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: got aloff penalties and past protection. Those are two areas. Yeah,

82
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: we'll see if the Rams can get that cleaned up.

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: Let's move on to game number two here in our

84
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Big three, and we had to m T Bank Stadium,

85
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Vikings and Ravens. How about the first downs here in

86
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: this game thirty six for the Ravens to just thirteen

87
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, twice as many amplified In the second half,

88
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Ravens made their comeback two drives a total twenty eight plays,

89
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: eight up sixteen minutes and resulted in two touchdowns. Vikings

90
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: did force ot Ravens get a Tucker field goal to

91
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: win it, and they're now two and one in overtime

92
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: games thirty one the final and Bucky look for the Ravens.

93
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: That comes down to Lamar Jackson and Justin Tucker. I

94
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: mean it does. It really comes down to those guys.

95
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Those guys can dominate in their own right. And Lamar

96
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Jackson you basically have when no one wants to say,

97
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: but I'll say this, you have QB one in RB

98
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: one for the Baltimore raven He's a guy that can

99
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: get you two hundred maybe three hundred pasting yards, will

100
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: also give you a hundred yards on the ground that

101
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: is really impossible to stop. When he's going to wait

102
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: that he's been going to last few weeks. And then

103
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker is just automatic anytime they're able to get

104
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: the ball over and on the other side of the

105
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: field the forty yard line, it's automatic three points for

106
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: a play called like Greg Roman. That has to be

107
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: empowering to know once I hit a certain line on

108
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the field with guarantee three points, they can stick with

109
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: the run. And then overtime we saw once they got

110
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: to the fifth it was run, run, run, run, run,

111
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker kicking get big stop by the Ravens defense

112
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: after that interception for me bar In overtime, Vikings went

113
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: three and out in ot the restless history with Tucker

114
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: making the field goal to win it um And you know,

115
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: kind of looking at this if if Lamar is QB

116
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: one and RB one, there's a job opening, there is

117
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: a wide receiver number one, and it feels like markis

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: Brown is really filling out that role. Yeah, he was

119
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: awesome in this game nine for one, sixteen, and really

120
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: he does it with the speed that you have to respect.

121
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: And when you have to respect the speed, then you

122
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: can hit the quick screens like you see right here

123
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: watching me does after the catch he had about three

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: or four those in this game. And then you press

125
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: him vertically. He can run comebacks and curls. He reminded

126
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: me so much of Deshan Jackson when he was coming

127
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: out of cow So I thought those things when Markus

128
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: Brown was coming out of Oklahoma. And now you're seeing

129
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: that player emerged. He's on pace for a big time season.

130
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: There you see it. The numbers sees on pace four outstanding.

131
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: He's he's number He's the number one wide receiver. Put

132
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: that to bed, yeah, no question. And but here's the

133
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: thing that that kind of baffles me for the Vikings

134
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: is they have a pair of number one wide receivers

135
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: and justin Jefferson and Adam Finland. They got one of

136
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: the best running backs, if not the best, in all

137
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: of football, and Dalvin Cook and Kirk Cousins has been

138
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: playing really well. But at times this season they have

139
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: gone quiet on offense. They jumped out to a fourteen

140
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: of three lead in this game and then now this

141
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: was skewed a little bit, but the return returned for

142
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown open the second half. But here's the thing.

143
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Negative plays on their first two drives of the second

144
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: half is what killed this team. Because they went dormant

145
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: in the second half on offense. Their first drive of

146
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: the second half had three penalties for twenty five yards.

147
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: Second drive, they opened the possession with an eight yard

148
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: loss on first down. It's hard to overcome those things

149
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: on offense. And then you know, yeah, you'd like to

150
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: see your defense not give up an eight teen played

151
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: drive here at some point, and that's you're if you're

152
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: into that. Okay, let's get into the Packers and Chiefs

153
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: as game number three here force no Aaron Rodgers and well,

154
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: not a lot of love for Jordan's in his stead

155
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Pressure the second year quarterback in his

156
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: first start early and often. Chiefs did just enough on

157
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the offensive side to get the thirteen seven victory on

158
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: a day where they put up just two hundred and

159
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: thirty seven total yards. What for context, Patrick Mahomes himself

160
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: has thrown for two thirty seven in the first half

161
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: seven times in his career and they just put up

162
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: to thirty seven total but still get the win. So

163
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: that's great. We'll get to Patrick Mahomes in a second,

164
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: but let's start here DJ with what we saw from

165
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Jordan's love who was blitzed a bunch in this game. Yeah,

166
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: they heating him up. And when you watch this game,

167
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: to me, I don't lay this all at the feet

168
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: of Jordan's love first start on the road Kansas City.

169
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't just the fact they were sending blitzers. They

170
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: were physical beats with the offensive line getting beaten matchups.

171
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: There were mental bus on the offensive line, turning guys loose,

172
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: and then when you look down the field, I didn't

173
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: think they really did a ton to help him down

174
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: the field. They might have tried five or six screens

175
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: in this game, they couldn't connect on any of them.

176
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: At the time. Was all wonky. Now, buck, he still

177
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: falls off some throws. There's still some mechanical things you're

178
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna work through. It's his first start. I know some

179
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: people want to make him dead and buried and he's

180
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be a good NFL player. Let's just back

181
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: off that a little bit. I didn't think they supported

182
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: him very well in this game. It was weird. Was

183
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: They've had a year and some change to get ready

184
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: for Jordan Love to make a debut, and the plan

185
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: that we saw feature none of the stuff that we

186
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: thought that we would see moving past his bootlegs. Yeah,

187
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: we saw some screens, but not enough slow screens and

188
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: those things to slow down the opponent. But I am

189
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: not discouraged by Jordan Love, but he certainly has some

190
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: work to do. I think I'm more disappointed in Matt

191
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Lafleur and the lack of confidence that he had in

192
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: the young quarterback leading up to this point. He never

193
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: gave him a full endorsement, and because of that, I

194
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: think Jordan Love was shaky just because he knows the

195
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: guy on the other side on sideline doesn't necessarily fully

196
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: believe that he can get them to the winner circle. Well,

197
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: the floor owned up to that a little bit as well,

198
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: in terms of maybe not putting him in the best

199
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: possible spot to succeed. All night long at Arrowhead against

200
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Here, I keep coming back to this thing

201
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: like Chief's offense, Like it's just it's so hard to

202
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: pinpoint right. It's just it does not feel the same.

203
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: It's not the same. Hold on, hold on, hold on,

204
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: Just go back the previous five show. Just read hut

205
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: racket and then reque it. Because we have this conversation

206
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: every single weekend. Here's what I want to focus on.

207
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: This week, the deep ball, the deep ball non existent

208
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. Oh for five was Patrick Mahomes on

209
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: deep throws in this game. And it's one thing when

210
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: it's one thing to pass up completions when you are

211
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: executing these deep throws to Tyreek Hill and he's splitting

212
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: double coverage. I mean, Mahomes had Travis Kelsey just sitting

213
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: there wide open, twenty yards down field and threw it

214
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: to Tyreeke who had two guys on him. And and

215
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: then there were some plays where you'd, like, you know,

216
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: you expect him to find Hill and they just they

217
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: overthrew him a couple of times. They misfired on a

218
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: back shoulder. Seemed like they were on the same page.

219
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: He right now, he's turning down some of those easy

220
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: He just put de charmining where he's gonna go. And

221
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: you can see it when you watch it. He takes

222
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: a snap, he knows where he wants to go with now,

223
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: no matter what what coverage dictates. So that's that's a problem.

224
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: You gotta react to what you see. I don't think

225
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: Patrick's doing that right now. Here's the thing that maybe

226
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: is a sign of things to come or something that

227
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: you can hope to build on. If you're the Chiefs,

228
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: that third and tent at the end of the game.

229
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: That was Patrick Mahomes football, absolutely manipulating the pocket, getting out,

230
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: beating the rush and then finding an open wide out

231
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: on a scramble that basically ice the game. Like that's

232
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: what we're used to seeing. It just hasn't happened that

233
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: often this year for the Chiefs. Time for our Elite

234
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: eight and different spin on it. This week, we are

235
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: going to essentially give you our top eight power rankings,

236
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: but we're gonna do it in draft order. So we're

237
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: all picking and Bucky I guess apparently based on last

238
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: year's performance, and you have drawn the first overall selection here.

239
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: So for the top team in football right now, you

240
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: get the pick. What do you got? This is easy.

241
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: The airs on the car and it's the number one.

242
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: They have the best record, should be the front runner

243
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: for a Coach of the Year based on the job

244
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: that this team has been only they are getting after

245
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: they're able to do it a variety of different ways.

246
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: Explosive offense, dynamic defense. Uh, the quarterback is playing at

247
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: m VP level. So for me, it's all about the

248
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: airs on the Cardinals. All right pick number two, Dach,

249
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: all right, I'm jumping in here. I'm gonna go with

250
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: the defending champs. I'm gonna go Tampa Bay. I just

251
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: look Tom Brady. The way he's playing to me is

252
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: there's no deterioration whatsoever in his ability. And then you

253
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: look at the defense and the way they can get

254
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: after the quarterback, all the playmakers they have on offense.

255
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: You see the six and two record right there. I

256
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: thought there's a chance they might try and ease and

257
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: coast through this season. They have not done that. I

258
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: just know they are built. Once you get to the postseason,

259
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: this team is built for it. I'll stick with the

260
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Tampa Buck, Tampa Bay Bucks. That run game has been

261
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: pretty good this year. Yeah, it's been. It's been fun

262
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: to watch. So there's a lot to like about Tampa,

263
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: no question. But you guys are leaving me the hottest

264
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: team in football here with the third pick. Gave me

265
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans right now, riding the five game win

266
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: streak after last night's win over the Tennessee Titans on

267
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: or rather over the Rams on Sunday Night football. So

268
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: the Titans are the best big game team in football.

269
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: They have won the biggest games against the toughest team

270
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: teams in consecutive weeks. Buffalo, Kansas City tough Division matchup

271
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: against the Colts, and then last night against the Rams.

272
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: Uh The Tennessee Titans already forced to be reckoned with

273
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: and they did it last night without their best player,

274
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I am all in on the coach who

275
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: should actually be the Coach of the Year, Bucky, and

276
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: that is Mike Vrable. Mike Vrabel should certainly be in

277
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: contention for it, but Cliff Kingsbury knocked him off, so

278
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: he can't. He can't get who's number four? Okay, So

279
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: I know they had a hiccup yesterday, but I'm gonna

280
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: go Buffalo Buffalo Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys American team

281
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: deserves to be in the top five when you look

282
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: at the way this team performs in the potential. I know,

283
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: throughout all the other stuff that happened against the Broncos,

284
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: this offense is number one. They can get it done

285
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: running or through the air. They have too number one receivers.

286
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott was playing at a very high level. The

287
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: offensive line is rounding back in the form and defensevely,

288
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: they get enough stops to win games. Ignore what your

289
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: eyes told you in week nine. Let's focus on the

290
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: other weeks. The Cowboys should be a top five team. Wait,

291
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: take out all the bad stuff. Although one second, Javonte

292
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Williams is broken alright, so number five, that pick is yourder.

293
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: You guys just sitting down right. Yeah, this is probably

294
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: a good thing because this one is I'm going off

295
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: of my evaluation of the talent on the roster. Put

296
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the record to the side, a lot of prefacing. There's

297
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: people are not gonna like a lot of excuses. I'm

298
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna take the Cleveland Browns. You just took Leather one

299
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: in the first round. You just will stack up this

300
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: roster player for player against anybody in the NFL right now. Now,

301
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is not up there with those elite level quarterbacks.

302
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think he has to be when they're healthy.

303
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: This group has not been healthy. Jack Conklin still out.

304
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: J Okay, the outstanding rookie at a Notre Dame, was

305
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: a phenomenal player. He hasn't been out there. You saw

306
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: with Denzel Award what he can do. With Newsom on

307
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the corners, they're gonna have the defensive player of the

308
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: year of Miles Garrett. So we get into the poll season,

309
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: we've got the best offensive line, we've got two big

310
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: time backs, We've got a closer in Miles Garrett to

311
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: finish games. So I'll get all a lot of heat

312
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: for this for having him this high. But I'm telling

313
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: you right now, nobody's gonna want to see the Cleveland

314
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: Browns once you get in the postseason. I'm telling nobody's

315
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna want any part of that. And four, so I

316
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: said they've had injuries. I saw. We're not calling Baker

317
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: Mayfield the top five quarterback right now? Are we? For

318
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: a team that is in the top five? Already already

319
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: mentioned that he's not. They don't have they don't they team.

320
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: That's why they don't have any logos on the hill

321
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: and safe. They just a team to just run out.

322
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: So let's revisit that mark that we'll revisit like three

323
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: or four weeks. I'm gonna look really stupid or really smart. Yeah, well,

324
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: fingers cross, I don't know. Yeah, fingers crossed for me

325
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: on a different end. Okay, I will pick the sixth

326
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: best team in football right now and I'm going with

327
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: the l a Rams. I think that, like I was

328
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: mentioning when we were talking about this game at the

329
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: top of the show, this was more of a coronation

330
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: of the Titans, who, by the way, I put at

331
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: number three just so you guys remembering here, and then

332
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: then it is an indictment on the Rams. I think

333
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: the Rams figured this thing out and well that guy. Uh.

334
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Interesting developments on in the NFL now with the Vegas Raiders,

335
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: but Matthew Stafford was off last night. He was off,

336
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: and they struggled handling interior pressure. I mean, like, rarely

337
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: does someone upstage Aaron Donald in the interior pressure department.

338
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons did that last night for the Tennessee Titans.

339
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: I think in that kind of matchup again, Sean mcvain

340
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: and the Rams figure out a better plan to attack

341
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: a defense like that, and I think the Rams would

342
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: back on track. Well, I mean, I like the Rams.

343
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: I like the Rams a lot. I like the way

344
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: they're able to kind of move the football. Matthew Staffords

345
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: playing really good football as a quarterback. But I'm gonna

346
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: go next and Thenber seven, I'm going to Baltimore Ravens

347
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens because we've talked about earlier Lamar Jackson,

348
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker. Those guys are two of the best of

349
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: diff respective positions based on how they do what they do.

350
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: And then I'm talking about a defense that can really

351
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: mess up the game for the opponent. They muddied up

352
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: with the pressures, the blessing, the constant changing disguise, and

353
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: even though the personnel is not up to Raven standards,

354
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: they still find a way to get it done. And

355
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: so a team that is more explosive and dynamic on

356
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: offense to help that defense. Yes, I'm me up to

357
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens at seven. All right, So I got the

358
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: last pick here I thought about with a little bit

359
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: of the Homer pick. I called the Charger games. They

360
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: were very much in the mix for me here, but

361
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: they have a negative point differential and I just don't

362
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: need all that smoke right now. So they're they're they're

363
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: coming off a big win. But I'm gonna go with

364
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: the Green Bay packarde you guys left me with with

365
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers when he's healthy and out on the football field,

366
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: that's a different football team in the one we just

367
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: saw against the Kansas City Chiefs. So that's a one

368
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: lost team with twelve at quarterback. They've got some pass rush,

369
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: they can heat you up a little bit. So those

370
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: are the components I look for when you're looking at

371
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: what you can do in the postseason. Um So I

372
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: think the Packers and it's probably the best value pick

373
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: in this entire draft right here. It really is. And

374
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: while we aren't putting the entire loss on Jordan's love

375
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs this week, if Aaron Rodgers is in there,

376
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: they would have taken advances have some opportunities that presented

377
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: themselves with that game plan. Okay, so a noticeable absence

378
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: from the top eight teams in football right now. We

379
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: started with the Cardinals. We get the defending champs in there.

380
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: You get the hottest team in football in the Titans.

381
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: I think four through eight is in flux, and you

382
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: can add a couple more teams and you can shake

383
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: them up, which is why I noticed that we are

384
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: missing the Buffalo Bills here and times have been considered

385
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: the best team in football. Bucket Buckey, you've got a

386
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: theory on that they lost. They lost to the Jacks.

387
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: They did they lost. They lost to the Jaguars. They

388
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: were heavy favorite or four team foin favorites, and they

389
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: lost to the Jaguars. Had you had me at You

390
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: had Me lost the Jags? That was by So it's

391
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: not a fatal flaw. Is there a fatal flaw in

392
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: there for this team or it's just a team that's

393
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: going to figure it out. I don't know. They sub

394
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: tote a few times, and I think with this team,

395
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: I think the opener. Yeah, I think with this team,

396
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: this is a team that plays really well as a group.

397
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if their talent is overwhelming, so they

398
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: always got to bring their a game. Well. So I

399
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: guess the Jaguars when they're off the mark man, they

400
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: can go down like anybody else. And so this to

401
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: me is a little scary, little scary, and Josh Allen

402
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: admitted at least was not his best game. Sean McDermott said, yeah,

403
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like looking at seventeen the turnovers that he

404
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: had jumped off the page for me. In this game,

405
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: he doesn't turn the ball over like that. They at

406
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: least win a close one. It feels like against the Jaguars,

407
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: I still think they're too good to not be one

408
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: of the top teams in football. You know what this

409
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: exercise has shown us, Just just shake it up. I mean,

410
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: we don't know. This is a week to week league

411
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: right now. There is so much parody. The Arizona Cardinals,

412
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Buck, I think they've kind of separated

413
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: themselves at this point in time. Outside of that, the

414
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: next ten eleven teams, I don't know there's much difference

415
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: between them. How about the Chiefs, who at the playoffs

416
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: started there, but they're still hanging around the next division,

417
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: then the next thing. And then the Bengals, who two

418
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago were the top seed in the a f C.

419
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Right now, that's how ridiculous it is. I mean, you've

420
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: got like ten teams that are sitting there with five

421
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: wins in the a f C. Good thing, there's still

422
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: another weeks left to go in this NFL season. All right?

423
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: About the Raiders too, I mean the Raiders sitting there, well,

424
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: you just dropped one of the job, but there's still

425
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: five and three. Yeah, they don't even come up in

426
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: the discussion. They do report cards here on move the

427
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: six just two rookies in the saddle so far here

428
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: and week now we'll get Justin Fields tonight for the Bears.

429
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: But a bucky you gave Trevor Lawrence to be minus

430
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: against the Bills. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence wasn't asked to do

431
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: much um in this game because defense did all to

432
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: hippy listen, but Trevor Lawrence did a great job of

433
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: really showing his management skills and his toughness. He comes

434
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 1: off to feel uh in the game, has little ankle injury,

435
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: goes into the back, comes back, has to do wins

436
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: for instance, front of mind to get back onto the game.

437
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: And then what he does is he just manages a

438
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: game to make sure that the Jaguars were able to

439
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: get to win a circle. So because of his efforts,

440
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: I give him a bus. Yeah, I gave Mac Jones

441
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: a b uh. Patriots get the win on the road

442
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. Here, the interception was a really tough

443
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: one on the first half. It was the timing route

444
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: as a rub route and and essentially his attended receiver

445
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: got off by the dB. So that was a tough

446
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: one there because he threw it on time. And then look,

447
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: he only threw five passes in the second half on

448
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: he completed one of them that was a little bit off,

449
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: but he continues to do his job. He continues to

450
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: find the open guys like like your classes, like the

451
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: fubb will never happened, by the way, Yeah, because the

452
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: left packle never got over to get to get Brian Bird.

453
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: So you get one of the best d rushers of

454
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: free lane and he's gonna take it every time. Okay,

455
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: with that, then let's get to our mid season report cards,

456
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: putting it all together here for the grades at the

457
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: halfway point, Let's start Bucky with Trevor LAWSS. Trevor Lawrences

458
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: has been everything to the Jaguars had wanted in a

459
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. He has been very, very solid in terms

460
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: of his leadership ability. His performance has been probably solid,

461
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: and so because of that, I'm gonna give him a

462
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: nice b a nice be. He's teacher, pet he's everything.

463
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: He's the representation, he represents the franchise. He's like waving

464
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: at the fans, talking to the fans. He's doing everything.

465
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence teaches pit. He certainly gets a sticker on

466
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: his notebook. Okay, so let's get into Zack Wilson DJ,

467
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: who's a little bit of an incomplete. I guess right. Yeah,

468
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: Look to me, I gave a C minus for his

469
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: efforts here. It's been a little bit up and down.

470
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: And if we're going to give those awards like they

471
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: do in the yearboo. By the way, this wouldn't come

472
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: from a teacher because this would be probably inappropriate. But

473
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: I labeled him as the biggest flirt because he's flirted

474
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: with some big time performance. You saw it in the

475
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 1: win that they had against the Tennessee Titans um, but

476
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 1: it's been inconsistent. The way I would say it is

477
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: he's he's done well in some calculus classes, but yet

478
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: he's not doing great in art. So you gotta take

479
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: the easy ones. You gotta be a little bit better

480
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: at the boring stuff, as I like to say. Okay,

481
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, and that's where mac Jones

482
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: has excelled in his time with the New England Patriots.

483
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: And through these first nine weeks, what do you think

484
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: my greatest Oh, he's an a. He has five far

485
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: been the best, most productive, most efficient quarterback so far

486
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: out of every single one that was drafted, certainly out

487
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: of the five that were drafted in the first round.

488
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: And I am telling you right now, he is the

489
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: most likely to succeed as it sits, as the teams

490
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: are constructed, and with their potential moving forward, Mac Jones

491
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: will win a super Bowl with the Patriots. Any other

492
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with their taking, Yeah, I'll hit it up a

493
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: little bit. I have no problem with guy finds the

494
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: open guy better than anybody, processes better than anybody, and

495
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: he does what the Patriots asked him to do, and

496
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. But I'm not saying he's gonna

497
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: win it this year based on that clip. When it

498
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: goes virl, let's go sayd Lewis predicts the super Bowl

499
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: behind mac Jones. Put it right here under my face. Okay,

500
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: Mac Jones right now will win a super Bowl before

501
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: the other four rookie quarterbacks got the don't think it's

502
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: I think when you use those two words together, super Bowl,

503
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: is that too much for it? Maybe early Smith. Again,

504
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna win it right now. I'm

505
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: just he's gonna win one before the other guys. That's

506
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: all right. Do I get another one here, please? Justin Fields.

507
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: Let's look at his report card from somebody that you

508
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: saw get better, which is why I'm gonna give him

509
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: the most improved award here in the grade. It's a

510
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: scene because there's some ugly football early in the season.

511
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: You think back to that Browns game where he got

512
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: sacked ninety four times, um, but just getting the ball

513
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: in a little bit quicker. You saw him use his

514
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: legs more and the last time we saw him out

515
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: of the field with the hunt yard rushing game. I

516
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: want to see more of that going forward. But look,

517
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who al is going to be a

518
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: part of his future there in Chicago, but I am.

519
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: I am gaining more confidence that this is gonna work

520
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: out for Justin Fields and Bears. I like that. See,

521
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's fair. I think there's definitely been some improvement,

522
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: certainly from the way he they had him play in

523
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: that first game that he started. Okay, Bucky, we got

524
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: to come back to you on another one that we've

525
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: had a very limited sample size on, and that's Trey

526
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Lance in the Niners. Ty. This one hurts me, So

527
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a bit of a heartbreaker sticker

528
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: because I'm hurt because I thought when the Niners moved

529
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: up to take at number three, I thought he was

530
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: going to give them a different dynamic, different dimension to

531
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: the offense. I'm gonna get them, see because the times

532
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: that we've seen him on the field, he's been okay,

533
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: he has miss spectacular. He's flashed a little bit, but

534
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: not consistently enough. And so he's a heartbreaker. He's a

535
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: heartbreaker because he's left us wanting more. I want more

536
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: from Trey Lance, and I haven't gotten there. I don't

537
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: know how I feel about the Valentine sticker on the

538
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: report card. You know, I feel like we're really bringing

539
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the lot of different worlds in together here. Yeah,

540
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: it would be stuff little hearts, the little Chalky hearts.

541
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that fits the Justin Fields category to

542
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: the heartbreaker because like Chicago fans, I mean, especially one

543
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: in our control room here on this show has just

544
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: been like, hey, we're going, oh my god, we got

545
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, And essentially we just have not received that

546
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: level of production to match that level of enthusiasm just yet,

547
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: but it could be coming. Okay, time now for scout

548
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: stories and guys want to hand out some awards here

549
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: in the mid season. You know, you got your top

550
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: rookies coming out. We're gonna get to some some top

551
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: rookies here, but let's start here with our defensive Rookie

552
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: of the year, Bucky. Who fits that mold for you? Oh,

553
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: this has to be Michael Parsons for Dallas Cowboys. Michael

554
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Parsons has been very impressive as a do it all

555
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: playmaker for the Cowboys at the second level. Whether it's

556
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: traditional linebacker, whether it's put a hand in the dirt,

557
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: play defensive in and get after the passer, whether it's

558
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: been a sideline the sideline player who sometimes takes on

559
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: to tie in. He has been able to do a

560
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: lot and because of that, he has energized his defense

561
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: and defense is playing better as a result. I just

562
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: posted to play on on Twitter this morning of just

563
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: how twitching explosive he is as a rusher. He has

564
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: range against the run. There's no other answer to me.

565
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be Michael Parsons. I'm with

566
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: you on that book. Guys, guys going Parsons, Well, I should,

567
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: but since you've already given us Michael Parsons, Nate Hobbs

568
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: is not gonna win Defensive Rookie of the Year. Good player,

569
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: but he's something for the Raiders to feel good about

570
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: in a secondary that's had some busts at draft picks.

571
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: I mean, as Tom Pella Sero telling us they're going

572
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: to release the first round pick, Damon Arnett is gone

573
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: and so you know, Meek Robertson was inactive in this

574
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: game for Vegas. I mean, they's just they needed some

575
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: wins at dB and I think Nate Hobbs has given

576
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: him something to feel good about, especially in that nickel role. Yeah.

577
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: I like that good honorable mention there, But you would

578
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: sure you would take Parsons. If you Parsons, I'd probably

579
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: take Greg Newsome too, with the way he's been playing

580
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, uh for the Browns.

581
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: But let's get to the offensive rookie of the year

582
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: and DJ, this one seems like a slam dunk for

583
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: your LHEA. Rashawns Later has been awesome. I mean he

584
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: hasn't been a good rookie left tackle. He's been a

585
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: great left tackle period, Like one of the top three

586
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: or four already in the NFL. And just watch him

587
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: last week against the Philadelphi Eagles. They can run behind him.

588
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: He's got knockoff power. In the past game, his anchor

589
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: is instant. I mean, he just absorbs power and it

590
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: is over. So for a team that's been searching for

591
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: a guy just like this for a decade, they've got

592
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: him here in Rashaan Slater. Guys, I'm gonna give you

593
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: one in the same division, although it came in the

594
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: second round. Javante Williams for the Denver Broncos. He's your

595
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: third leading rusher right now, Mongst rookies, but he's only

596
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: three yards on a second place and yep, you know,

597
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: he just broke another tackle segments ago. He has thirty

598
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: six missed tackles force that is tied for first with

599
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. So again, he is going to be one

600
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in football in a matter

601
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: of time. And he's been doing this in a backfield

602
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: share situation with Melvin Gordon. Very impressed with Javonte Williams.

603
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: I am very impressed with because he was sorry and

604
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: we were nice uniforms that he's done well. But this

605
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: is the running back that I'm excited about. Naja Harris

606
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: has really been the workhorse in this backfield. It's not

607
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: a coincidence that's still hasn't played better as his role

608
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: has increased. Not only as a runner between the taxs,

609
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: but catching the ball on the perimeter. He has been

610
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: the best playmaker that I have in the backfield since

611
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Levian Bill. As a result, they are beginning to play

612
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: like Distill as a volt. A bit more on nan

613
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Gie Harris and the Pittsburgh Steelers coming up here in

614
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: just a bit on Move the Sticks says, we give

615
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: you a little Monday Night Football creaty final game of

616
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: Week nine, Steelers and the Bears. But let's now get

617
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: to Defensive Player of the Year in general here at

618
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: the mid season point. What he got bucked? Oh, I

619
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: think this has to be Treyvon Diggs. Trayvon Diggs is

620
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: just even after this last week, even after this last week,

621
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: because it's about it's about turnover, it's about putting the

622
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: ball in the pain. Look, I played a long time ago,

623
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: and people used to say they don't worry about the

624
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: ones that you give up. If you can produce enough,

625
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: they go on the other way. He's produced enough that

626
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: we know that he is going to be on Hilday.

627
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: That's enough for him to get the trophy as it is,

628
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: don't worry about some of the bad moments. All about

629
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: the good great of flashes. The best defensive player in

630
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the NFL is Myles Garrett. He's played the best, he's

631
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: the best player. He's got the most production. Period, exclamation point,

632
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: end of story. There's no it should be a unanimous

633
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. I don't he's not. It's

634
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: not a team award is and he's the best defensive

635
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. Yeah, period. I think you're and

636
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: I think he will win it. You're not going to

637
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: pick him, well, no, I'm not gonna pick him because

638
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: I want to give you some variety. And with that,

639
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the best safety in football right now,

640
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: and that's Kevin Byrd. I alluded to it earlier. This season.

641
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: He's come up with some huge plays for Tennessee. He's

642
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: got five picks this year. You want to talk about

643
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: turnover production, Kevin Byrd is leading the way. And I'll

644
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: just tell you this. Elijah Molden, after that win against

645
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: the Colts, said, Kevin Byrd was telling them what was

646
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: going to happen in the secondary when they were playing

647
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: the Colts as that game went on. He is that

648
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: dialed in. He is that kind of preparation and he's

649
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: got the production to match it as well. We got

650
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: next man, we got the m v P. I go first,

651
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: please Tom Brady, give me Tom Brady. Well, he's having

652
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: an unbelievable season. You look at what he's done with

653
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown in the touchdown department, carrying this team all

654
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: the pressure. Gotta repeat, No problem, tom Brady. I'll go

655
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: with I'll go with a goat here. Man up by

656
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 1: the way, did you realize take mac Jones for offensive here?

657
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: That just settled in, But I have a go ahead?

658
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: I am surprised. And then I'm gonna go with Calin

659
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: Murray talking about the quarterback on the best team in football.

660
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Calin Murray up there, terrific passer rating seventeen touchdowns, only

661
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: seven interceptions, didn't play. They still were able to whip

662
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine is. But that's not an

663
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: indictment on tell the Murray's roll that contributes to the offense.

664
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: It just says how good the Arizona Cardinals are. Okay, guys,

665
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: you want another one, another one that's not gonna win.

666
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: MVP should be my man Cooper, but over a thousand

667
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: yards already in this last game, nine games, he's over

668
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: a thousand yards and ten touchdowns. He and nine Jerry

669
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: Rice are the only players to go for over a

670
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: thousand receiving yards and ten plus touchdowns in their team's

671
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: first nine games. I know what this is. Look, he's

672
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna be off. He's got anyone who wants an MVP

673
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: award in the future, they need to get on path

674
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: to the draft to make sure they called in every

675
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: week and talk to Rhett because Rhett as a tendency

676
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: to lead towards those guys. Because Cooper Cup was one

677
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: of our guys. Right, I'm not giving it the Okay, Cooper,

678
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: you tell me there's been a player more productive in football? Right,

679
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: I've got nothing negative to say on this one. I can't.

680
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: Coopers have unbelievable And look, the Offensive Player of the

681
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: Year has more often not than not become the second

682
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: place in the vote, and that are then it's the

683
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: night it's the non quarterback m v P, and that's

684
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup this year, especially now that Derrick Henry is

685
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: out at least for the remainder of the regular seasons.

686
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: So that so to summarize, right, doesn't believe any of

687
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: his picks, But go ahead, well, I mean you guys

688
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: already had you guys took a low and fruit. I

689
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: had to think outside the box here a little bit.

690
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: We do have one more game left here on Monday night.

691
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: It's the Steelers and the Bears. You had Justin Fields

692
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: in our mid season rookie report cards and well, you

693
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: know you game to c right. So what do you

694
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: want to see from tonight against really big challenge in

695
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's defense. Decisive whatever decision you're gonna make, make it quickly.

696
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: Get the ball out of your hands. If you want

697
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: to take off and run, make that decision early in

698
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: the down. I think the longer the play extends, the

699
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: worse it gets for the Bears in this matchup. Buck Yeah,

700
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a tough match up for Justin

701
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: Fields because Pittsburgh still is are beginning to look like

702
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: the still is a vote. Defense is playing well. And

703
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: if I'm Justin Fields, one thing, keep an eye on

704
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: number ninety. Number ninety is always lurky and when he looks,

705
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: because the ball has a tendency to come out, So

706
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: keep an eye on t J. Watt Khalil Herbert has

707
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: been a really nice player for the Bears as a

708
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: rookie this year, and he's had to be because David

709
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: Montgomery has been hurt. Montgomery's back tonight activated off I

710
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: r to play tonight. According to Ian Rappaport, how do

711
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: they still find a role for Herbert? And you know,

712
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: use what Montgomery has been so good at. Well, I

713
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: think you can make this almost a fifty fifty split.

714
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: I think he's done enough her but it's not enough

715
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: to earn those touches. So uh, they want to shorten

716
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: this game against Pittsburgh stealers. They want to take heat

717
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: off your quarterback. There's enough carries to go around, certainly enough,

718
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: and Herbert has been fantastic, but this is somewhere where

719
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: someone on the defense for the Bears has to step

720
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: up and make a play because the Stillers are begin

721
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: to play better on offense as well. Yeah, that's right.

722
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Not Gee Harris was Fucky Brooks's season offensive Rookie of

723
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: the Year. See if he has a big performance tonight

724
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. Thanks so much for me with
