1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: What's up everybody, DJ Bucky here Moved the Sticks presented 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: by the Ford f Series. It's our Sunday Slash Monday 4 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: podcast with our ten takeaways from Sunday's Action and buck Man. 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: It was kind of difficult and narrowing it down to 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: just tend this week. We were a lot going on, 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 1: a lot of bad weather, some some interesting games to 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: say the least. Yeah, it was kind of crazy. It 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: was really fun Field Weekend, fun Field Sunday. Um, we 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: didn't have the full slate of games, but the games 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: that we had were exciting. But whether it did certainly 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: play apart and didn't see necessarily the explosive offenses that 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: we were accustomed to seeing. But um, I think there's 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: some teams that continue to separate themselves from the pretenders 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 1: that are emerging as contenders. And I'm sure we'll talk 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: about this in our ten takeaway segment. Well, why don't 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: you get a starter here? What's what's the first one 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: coming off to Sunday Night game? Do the Stellers need 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: Martavis then in the shotgun stands in his hand zone. 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: We're two freature, he's back, he went, he fires down 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: the field and it's time. It didn't run. That is 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: still Chu Smith Suster Flick Race thirty five thirty twenty 23 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: five twenty pickstart Steelers put down night Yards. You know, 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversation this week about Mark Tavis 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: brian and what the Steelers need to have him, what 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: what what he needs to do on that offense in 27 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: terms of the role that he plays. But I mean, 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Judu Smith Shuster continues to be a guy that is 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: a big time playmaker for them, and even though they're 30 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: different stylistically in terms of how they play, Judice Smith 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: Schuster is emerging as a big play receiver and someone 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: who definitely deserves to head the ball go his way. 33 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: You buy into this buck with the fact that Ben's 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: a little bit older, even that that's that's a ninety 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown, But it wasn't like that ball traveled 36 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: sixty yards in the air. Was it was more of 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: a catching run there by Juju smith Schuster. But do 38 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: you buy maybe with Ben where his skill set is 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: at this age that with Mark Tavis Bryant, I mean, 40 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: they can't really fully utilize him the way that he 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: should is a is a big time vertical threat. Yes, 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: I do buy into that when you look at the 43 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: next gen stats to suggest that Big Band is not 44 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: the deep ball thrower um that he once was. He's 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: only completing maybe thirty three percent of his deep balls 46 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: uh court to the next instats brought to this game, 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: and he's oh for four with connecting to mart Tavis 48 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: bryan on deep balls when he's wide open. That means 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: like three yards and more uh separation between he and 50 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: the nearest defender. And so Martavis Bryant is still one 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: of the most prolific big play receivers in the game 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: uh fifteen touchdowns in twenty one career games. The problem 53 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: is Big Band can't push the ball down the field 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: like you would like to see when you have a 55 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: guy like that. So yeah, I mean, you still need 56 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: to have Martavis on the field because he does command attention, 57 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: but I just don't know if Big Band can get 58 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: the ball to him at this stage of career. And 59 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the things that is showing 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Big Bend's signs of decline and deterioration. Yeah, this is 61 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: to me is a challenge because I just look, because 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: of the situation with Ben and his skill set right 63 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: now and how they're using Jujue Smith Schuster kind of 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: working in the more in the middle of the the field, 65 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: the intermediate area. I mean, I try to make an argument, Okay, 66 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: maybe maybe they don't need Martavis Bryant, but I mean, 67 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna look at it from your side of things, 68 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: you're saying, even maybe even if you have Martavis, even 69 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: if you're not connecting, just having some of that vertical stretch, 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: what will help out his presence will help out some 71 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: of these other dudes, Because I think we both agree 72 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: on the fact that not a great match in terms 73 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: of the connections and the production you're gonna get with 74 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: him in this offense. No, not a great match in 75 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: terms of like what Big Ben does really really will 76 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: and now. But I think what you're looking towards is 77 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: when they get into those games in the playoffs, if 78 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: they have to match up with the New England Patriots, 79 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you have the full 80 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: repertoire um of things available. You want all the ammunition 81 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: and weaponry that you can have, and Martavis gives them 82 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: a deep ball stretch guy. So when you do decide 83 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: to take away Antonio Bryant by double teaming him, or 84 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: you load the box with Levan Bill. I don't know 85 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: if ju Juice Smith Schuster was going to be able 86 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: to consistently deliver the big play production, but I do 87 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: know that there's a track record of that kind of 88 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: production for mar Tavis Bryant, So I would like to 89 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: just have him in the full just for those moments 90 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah, and the Lions come up a 91 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: little bit short, Inness sitting at three and four, little 92 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: disappointing right now, one and three at home for the Lions, 93 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: not getting it done there on the home field. Right, 94 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: Let's move on to take away number two. And this 95 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: was no question, this was the game of the day, 96 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: maybe even the game of the season up in Seattle. Yeah, 97 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson going up there to take on Russell Wilson, 98 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: and this was a battle to the finish, back the 99 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: past Seattle's back and what's twenty one seconds to buck this? 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this was unbelievable. It was great quarterback play 101 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: in this game. We talked about some of the ugly 102 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: offense we've seen this year, and I know you can 103 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: look at the turnovers that Deshaun Watson had in this game, 104 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: one of which was, you know, a really kind of 105 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: hail Mary attempt at the end of the game. But uh, 106 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: I thought the way he performed in that environment exceeded 107 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: my expectations. He was outstanding, rare what he was able 108 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: to do in this contest. And then Russell Wilson, I 109 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of think is the forgotten quarterback in the league. 110 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: When all we were talking about this young wave of 111 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and then we talked about the old veterans, it 112 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: seems like Russell Wilson kind of gets caught in between 113 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: those two groups and doesn't get the just do that 114 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: he deserves. But four fifty two yards, four touches, he 115 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: was outstanding in this one, including that touchdown he just 116 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: turned to Jimmy Graham. Yeah, I mean, I think this 117 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: was a very very interesting game, and I think he 118 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: kind of signals the wave of the future of the 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: quarterback position in terms of stylistically how these guys may look. Uh, 120 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: we'll get to Russell Wilson, but Deshaun Watson being able 121 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: to take on the legion of boom. This is a 122 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: team in a secondary that for years has made young 123 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks crumble under the way of having to deal with 124 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: their sticky coverage on the outside, but he handled it 125 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: and they had big games and big plays. I mean 126 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins to in twenty four yards, will Fuller hundred 127 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: and twenty five yards. They were able to push the 128 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: ball down the field. They made the plays that needed 129 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: to be made. And I know he finishes with three interceptions, 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: and I think some of that, obviously is due to 131 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: the inexperience. But I don't think you can come away 132 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: from that game feeling bad about the Shawn Wasson. I 133 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: think for me, I am more impressed with him each 134 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: time I see him step onto the field, and I 135 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: think there's something to be said for his ability playing 136 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: big games really translated well to his ability to continue 137 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: to play on the big stage in the pros. Yeah. 138 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he just keeps elevating his game. I mean 139 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: he's we talked about coming into this game the key 140 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: being his poise, and I thought that was on display 141 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: once again. You know another thing, too, man, however fast 142 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: you think will Fuller is, he's faster. Go ahead and 143 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: back up a little bit. He has five for a 144 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: buck twenty five, two touchdowns and wasn't even the start 145 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: of the day, and the receiving corps DeAndre Hopkins one 146 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: for eight for two twenty four like he was, he 147 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: was phenomenal. All the drama you know that was taking 148 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: place this week in Houston, with the owner's comments and 149 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: and all they had to deal with, they showed up focus, 150 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: they showed up, dialed in. They did not leave with 151 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: the victory, but man, I came away impressed with this 152 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: Houston Texas team, very impressed with the team. I think 153 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: Bill Brunn has in a really a fantastic drive of 154 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: building this offense around to Shaun Bosson, I think the 155 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: young guy has really um taking his game up a notch. 156 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: And I think what you see is when you have 157 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback, it really energizes the entire team. I think 158 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: their defense plays better because they believe they have a chance. 159 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: Whenever that quarterback gives you hope that no matter what happens, 160 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: good game, bad game, if we just give him the 161 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: ball with one other opportunity to score, he can find 162 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: a way to put the ball in the end zone. 163 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what the Texas have and because of that, 164 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: they made a team that you have to deal when 165 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: they contend with down the stretch because he is playing 166 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: so well that I think the team is feeding off 167 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: of that energy. Last couple of things here on this 168 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: ball game, um Man, both quarterbacks led their teams in rushing, 169 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: which was impressive, Shaun Watson going for sixty seven yards, 170 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: Russell to Wilson had thirty. Uh, Tyler Lockett did his thing. 171 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: Paul Richardson, Man, it's been fun to see him kind 172 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: of come on and develop and turn into the guy 173 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: we saw at Colorado that got us so excited. Another 174 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: one of those Sarah products that I sure, I'm sure 175 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: you saw him in high school, didn't you, Buck? You 176 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: know he had just left when when I got there. 177 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: But look, he continues to be a guy that amazes me. 178 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: In terms of coming off to multiple A, c L injuries, 179 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: he has given them the replacement to Jamaine Curse what 180 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: they lost from Jamaine Curves like they've gotten in leaps 181 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: and bounds. In terms of Paul Richardson, they continue to 182 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: be a team that they have to lean on the pass. Again. 183 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: You would like to see him be able to run 184 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: better because you don't want to necessarily have Russell Wilson 185 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: leading the team in Russian. But the Seattle c Arks 186 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: have found they groove and they founded it because their 187 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: past first team and it's not the style that Pete 188 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: Carroll wants to play, but they have to play because 189 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: that's just what the strength of their team is. Three 190 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: rushing yards. That's got to get better. Three rushing yards 191 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: outside of Russell Wilson from the running back corps. That's 192 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: not that's not really good. Yeah, that's less than ideal, 193 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: very lops cited. But they found a way to get 194 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: the win. So big win at home or the Seahawks. Right, 195 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: what's number three on the list. The Saints are legit 196 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: contenders in the NFC rops books. Guns it down field, 197 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: then it's intercepted. The Saints have picked it off coming 198 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: back to get down Lattimore. He doesn't go down easily, 199 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: but he does go down now man. The New Orleans 200 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: Saints are on a five game winning streak. They are 201 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: playing lights out on both sides of the ball. Their 202 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: offense continues to be efficient. They found a way to 203 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: get the once you running back punch in terms of 204 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. They are up and running 205 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: and then defensively, the three guys that are playing really 206 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: well for Jim cam Jordan's Kenny Vicaro and Marshawn Lattimore. 207 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: That defense is playing at a high level, doing a 208 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: great job of keeping the score down when they run 209 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: into the field. Yeah, I mean, look the all the 210 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: investments they've made on the defensive side of the ball, 211 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: You're starting to see them all pay off for this 212 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: football team playing a lot of young guys. Although my 213 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: my favorite play of the day, we we showed this 214 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: play on a million times on Game Day Live was 215 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: our guy Marcus Williams, who I believe is in the 216 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: game of baby Magic coming out of Utah, and we 217 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: both talked about all throughout the draft. We loved him 218 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: as a football player, but Buck, he ran side by side. 219 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: Who was he running with for like yards? Janward? Yeah, 220 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: d J. He trying to make sure he had a 221 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: good angle, Pursuer, you keep trying to sell, but you 222 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: keep trying to sell me on this, just trying to 223 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: make sure he has a good angle. I mean, he 224 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: could have reached out and held his hand for thirty 225 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: yards of that fifty yard run. He's just trying to 226 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: do his deal. We had a good laugh. We had 227 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: a good laugh on Game Day Live with that run. 228 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: But look the Saints, all the young defensive players stepping up. 229 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: We talked on last week's pot about Ted Jr. In 230 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the uh, the beautiful role that he plays for this team, 231 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: filling that speed receiving role. Michael Tom Michael Thomas again 232 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: seven grabs. He's been consistent for them. If you flip 233 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: Overard to the Bears, Jordan Howard courtesy, that fifty yard 234 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: run had a hundred two yards rushing, but Troubinsky fifty 235 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: three yards rushing, forty six yard or uh to go 236 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: along with that, they're passing wise. They let him chuck 237 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: it a little bit more about fourteen for thirty two 238 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: for a buck sixty four some drops had a brutal 239 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: touchdown called back after a gruesome injury to his tight end. 240 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: But man, I thought, overall, Traubisky, even though they didn't 241 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: win and only scored twelve points, I did see some 242 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: good things from him today. Yeah, he did some pretty 243 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: good things. I think they continue to try and extend 244 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: to playbook. I think the big thing with Rubisky doesn't 245 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: have enough people on the outside to really threaten the 246 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: entire field. And when you don't have those weapons available, 247 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: to you, just kind of makes it difficult to really 248 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: see what the young guy can do. Unlike Deshaun Wasson 249 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: way as Pro Bowl players on the outside has to 250 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: be receivers. They've committed a lot of capital to those guys. 251 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: The Bears don't have that at this time, so they're 252 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: kind of trying to spoon feed him, um a little 253 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: experience without those things. But I think we have seen 254 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: enough flashes to kind of feel good about his progress 255 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: and where he could be in a year or two. 256 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: Down a lot. All right, let me just get you 257 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: with one question before we move on to the next one. 258 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: Let's just say, right, the Eagles have the best record 259 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: in the NFC. Will get down to them in a minute, 260 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: but neutral field tomorrow they meet, uh Philadelphia Eagles New 261 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Who wins that game. I think the Eagles 262 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: are more complete because they can rush to pass. I 263 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: think their front line, their front four, uh you talk 264 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: about the front four. They play eight men up in 265 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: that defensive line rotation. I think that gives them the edge. 266 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a competitive game because the strength of 267 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: the Saints kind of worked against the liabilities of the Eagles, 268 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: particularly on the outside I think it'll be a very 269 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: very competitive game, but I think the Eagles will have 270 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: particularly if they're playing at home, that could be on 271 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: a collision course here in the NFC a hard Let's 272 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: move on here to the next one. And this one 273 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: man and oldie, but of goody Tom Brady, his poise, 274 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Grady with a play faith that gulously stands 275 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: in the pocket, throws it left rock Bolllo touchdown Patriots. Oh, 276 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: it's the best spoke of the year. Little gron spike there. 277 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: Touchdown for the Patriots. They go on to beat the 278 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers and kind of an ugly game. But 279 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady very efficient thirty three yards forty seven to me. 280 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: But he just watching this game as we're covering on 281 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: Game Day Live, just so many different examples of him 282 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: being able to maneuver within the pocket, just his feel, 283 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: his presence and his poison. Heard that touchdown called a 284 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: gronk being patient, letting that develop on a little drag 285 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: coming across the field. He's just I don't know how 286 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: to explain it. It's just it's teaching tape for quarterbacks 287 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: to be able to slow your heart rate down and 288 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: to be calm and poised in the midst of chaos, 289 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: and they had a lot of heat coming at him 290 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: with this charger front. Yeah, they did a lot of 291 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: heat coming at him. And Tom Brady is just the 292 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: best at just being able to kind of understand and 293 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: play the game from the neck up. He slows the 294 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: game down. He makes it really really easy. In terms 295 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: of watching it, you can tell that the game is 296 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: pretty easy for him. He just takes what the defense 297 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: gives him. He doesn't spend a lot of time staying 298 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: on his reads. He understands what they're trying to take away, 299 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: and he is not going to take a lot of 300 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: unnecessary hits. And because he can stressed to feel horizontally 301 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: and vertically, the defense is always at his mercy. I 302 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: think he has mastered the quarterback position and because of 303 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: that you will see him continue to play well until 304 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: he decides to walk away from the game, which here 305 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: appears to be forty six years of age. Yeah. I mean, look, 306 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: they he targeted six different players six plus times, so 307 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: being able to spread the ball around. We always talk 308 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: about the backs and the tight ends and then mixing 309 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: Hogan and Cooks and Amondola, but man he's just the 310 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: balls coming out of his hand. He's just got such 311 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: a master and such an understanding. And it's kind of 312 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: a whole hum Patriots season right now. I mean they 313 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: have that they get blown out by the Chiefs. They 314 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: play terrible in that game. It look kind of ugly 315 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: early on in the season, have a tough game with 316 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: the Jets, and then you pick your head up at 317 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: the halfway market there six and two and kind of 318 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: right where we all expected them to be. Yeah, I 319 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: mean they're right there, like, uh, it's not a team 320 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: that we expected to see, the team that were run 321 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: rough shot over the league. But it's the team that 322 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: continues to win games. And long as you have TB. Twilve, 323 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: they're they're always going to be one of those teams 324 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: that has a chance to be in the winner circle 325 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. As their defense continues 326 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: to improve and if they can somehow find a way 327 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: to rush to pass or that will give them a 328 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: chance to go back and be a repeat titlest But regardless, 329 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: as long as Tom Brady is able to stay upright 330 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: in the pocket, the Pages are gonna be the favorite 331 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: against any team do they face the only bummer about 332 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: this is the fact that the Chargers not winning this 333 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: ball game. It keeps us from playing our favorite clip. 334 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: So we have our favorite clip. I just I don't 335 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: think we can play it. No, we can't. They didn't win. Well, 336 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: we'll hold it off until next week. Maybe they get 337 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: the done. All right, Matt money Smith's call of a 338 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: Charger win. We'll have to wait for another day. What's 339 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: number five on the list? Buck and thenta's office is broken. 340 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: It lacks an identity. Right footed punch shot in the air, 341 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: directionally wobbling to the far side, hard backpedal, retreating and 342 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: losing the football. The fifth eight falcons falled upon it 343 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: currently lost the ball, the comes pounds in line. You know, 344 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: despite getting the turnover, they couldn't finish off the drive 345 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: with seven heads set a fourth field goal. And I 346 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: think it speaks to the lack of identity and the 347 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: lack of focus that this offense has. They cannot perform 348 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: in the red zone. They just don't score touchdowns, just 349 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: setting it for too many threes. And I think in 350 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's gonna come at to 351 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: bite them when it gets critical. Yeah, they can't finish. 352 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they cannot finish tracks. And there was horrible 353 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: weather in this game and not ideal, no question, had 354 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: some some fumbled exchanges their quarterbacks, center exchanges with Matt Ryan, 355 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: but Bucky, they moved the ball between the twenties up 356 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: and down the field. They just can't They can't cash in, 357 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: They can't finish. And I can't quite put my finger 358 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: on I mean, they can see a drop by Austin 359 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: Hooper should have been a should have been a touchdown 360 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: or at least a conversion. At one point in that game, 361 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: you see, uh, just no separation at times. You see 362 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan missing focus, lack of physicality when they need it. 363 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Just it's it's a bunch of different things. But they 364 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: can't finish. And there four and three right now. But 365 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: they have got to find a way to finish these drives. 366 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: They have to find a way to to get it 367 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: done now. I understand, Uh steves are easy, and there 368 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: still coming over. He's still trying to figure out what 369 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: he has from a personnel standpoint. He is still learning 370 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: their offense. I know they kept a scheme the same, 371 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: but it's a different play call. So he's trying to 372 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: figure out how to put it all together and calling 373 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: the game and have a rhythm and to flow with 374 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback. And so when I look at this team, 375 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: it's a team that is still kind of under construction. 376 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: But I'm hopeful that they can get it done the 377 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: last quarter of the year because that's when it really 378 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: really matters. They're in the race. They're going to be 379 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: in the race. That offense needs to kind of push 380 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: him over home, and no question, we'll see if they 381 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: can kind of find themselves a little bit tack. McKinley, 382 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: the rookie first rounder, had of sacking this one though, 383 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: did some good things as they kind of get a 384 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: little healthier upfront. We'll see how this defense can can 385 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: come together and finish out the season and schedule in 386 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: the second half, see if they can by a little 387 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: rhythm here. That's schedule six. That schedule is not getting 388 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: easy either. At Panthers next week, Cowboys, Seahawks, Bucks, Vikings, 389 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: Saints Bucks against Saints Panthers. Like that's that's brutal down 390 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: the stretch for the Falcons. Yeah, well, you don't know 391 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: what you're gonna see from the Buccaneers. They get them twice. 392 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: Um hasn't been a great squad. The Panthers are a 393 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: little bit check on Hyde as well. You don't quite 394 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get from them either, So we'll 395 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: see how they say they battle through it here. Let's 396 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: keep the training rolling here. The number six on the list, 397 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: in my opinion, I think Mike Zimmers, the coach of 398 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: the year, makes the snap, drops back to pass, has 399 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: a little bit of time, steps up with the pocket 400 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: rose for the back of the end zone for Rutolph. 401 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: He's got it high in the air and comes down 402 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: school feet in. It's a four yard touchdown pass to 403 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph and the Vikings. Now what do you think, Buck? 404 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: You get with me on this? I know the Rams 405 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: and what they've done with coach McVeigh got a lot 406 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: of tension, and rightfully so, he's done a great job. 407 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: But I just look at everything that they've had to 408 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: endure with his Vikings football team, and to be sitting 409 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: here at six and two. Uh you know, I know, 410 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: like the Browns are no great ships, they'd be the 411 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: team a winless team there. But overall, just to get this, 412 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: this Minnesota Vikings team, they show up and they're ready 413 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: to play each and every week, doesn't matter who's on 414 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: the field. No, they find a way to get it done. 415 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: And I think the best thing that the Minnesota Vikings 416 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: have done is shown the football world that you can 417 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: win this game without necessarily having a franchise quarterback. Uh, 418 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: your march for air is a lot of a little 419 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: slimmer um. You don't have um the ability to kind 420 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: of play in an aesthetically pleasing way. But because they 421 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: have a good defense, because they're productive on special teams, 422 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: they always have a chance. And Case Keenum is playing 423 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: pretty good for them, and I think that has been 424 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: the biggest thing that you can take away from that 425 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: Case Keenum has given them a chance because he doesn't 426 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: turn the ball over and they're finding a way to 427 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of pee smell enough points to give their defense 428 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: the edge and they win a game. So Mike Exammer 429 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: has done a great job of keeping it together. And 430 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: I heard a quote from one of their players who 431 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: said he doesn't even know dress who's the starting quarterback 432 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: each week, because it doesn't matter. They're gonna show up 433 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: and play. It doesn't matter who's playing quarterback. They know 434 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: that they can win. And so if you have that 435 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: kind of attitude permeating throughout your team. It gives you 436 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win a bunch of games, and they 437 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: definitely are winning a bunch of games at this point. 438 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: All Right, this gets gets me to this is a 439 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: back to back points on this game. This is kind 440 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: of a combination one. So I'll keep it going here 441 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: with number seven on the takeaway list, and that is uh, 442 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: this Brown's team that just lost to the Vikings as 443 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: well as the San Francisco forty Niners. Buck. They both 444 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: think back those both He fires and I tell the 445 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: acepted Mills tell the left, so he cuts back at 446 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: the fifth en He's running across the field, he gets 447 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: the block, he pucks back, he says mis Merril Reese 448 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: on the call there for the Philadelphia Eagles will pick 449 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: six for Jalen Mills over the San Francisco forty Niners. 450 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: But we talked about the Browns here for Buck. But 451 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: I do want to point out the fact it seems 452 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: like when we're getting these offer discussions, you know, we 453 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: talked about the Browns and how they have won a game, 454 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: how bad they are, and somehow the Niners kind of escape, uh, 455 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: their company and very much they've earned their right to 456 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: belong in that company with the Browns. And how bad 457 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: they've played, especially recently. I know there's some competitive games 458 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: early U not so competitive against the Eagles. It's a 459 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: bad outfit, But just start with Cleveland and your takeaways 460 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: here on this squad right now, Well, I think it 461 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: obviously has to be disappointing. This is here we thought 462 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: obviously progress. They've spending a bunch of picks on trying 463 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: to revamp their roster, and a lot of the attention 464 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: has been on the quarterback position, but they haven't been 465 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: able to play well enough in other areas to allow 466 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: a young quarterback to kind of grow into the role. 467 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: And so at some point you have to look at 468 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: the team and the way the team is being built. 469 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: You have to look at the coaching staff and kind 470 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: of figure out, why is this a team that can't 471 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: make games? They can't win. They've only won one game, 472 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: and however many games that the regime has been there. 473 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: At some point you have to figure out is this 474 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: plan a doable a workable plan, and right now, based 475 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: on the results, it doesn't look that way. Now, what's 476 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: your what's your thoughts, by the way, on the end 477 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: season change at the coaching spot. I kind of see 478 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: both sides of it. Okay, you want to get a 479 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: jump start on your next coach if you're gonna make 480 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: a change, so you make the announcement now and you 481 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: can kind of formally start your search. But I also 482 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: look at it and say, hey, just write it out, 483 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: just get through the season. You're not gonna be able 484 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: to get the guy you want until the season is over. Anyways, 485 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what what purpose it really serves to 486 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: to make that move and to shake everything up. You're 487 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs. That ain't happen, No, But 488 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: I think, like I think everything is tied together. I 489 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: think both um, the coach and the front office are married. 490 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: And the reason they're married is because they had this 491 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: plan that they set out on uh that they were 492 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: going to try and do it a different way. And 493 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: I think both guys have to be connected. And so 494 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: if you let go of the coach, I think as 495 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: a front office, you're admitting that you're feeling and things 496 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: aren't going according to plan. I think they have to 497 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: stay connected together and at the into the year, I 498 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: think Jimmy Hassm has to make a decision on whether 499 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: he trusts that what they're doing is eventually going to 500 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: lead to a big payoff. I would say, on my side, 501 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily to see it, but I also understand it. Man, 502 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: when you change so much and you've had so many 503 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: different general managers and head coaches, it's hard to build 504 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: a winning team because if you live it now, you 505 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: can bring somebody else in and everything changes what they're 506 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: looking for. So UM, I don't think it's an easy 507 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: decision to make at all. Yeah, I'm just looking at 508 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: this forty Niners team switching over to them competitive. Uh. 509 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: Had been in a string of really really close competitive games, 510 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: two and three point games right on down the line 511 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: until the last two weeks. Cowboys bed at ten totally 512 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: dominated them coming off their bye week on the road, 513 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: and then they go to fully lose this game thirty 514 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: three to ten. Um. Look, he's a rookie. I don't 515 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: want to make a snap judgment here, but watching that 516 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: game today, I felt like that was the quarterback. And 517 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: Beth heard that I saw in Iowa that I thought 518 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: was kind of a late round free agent type and 519 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: definitely did not view him as an NFL starter and man. 520 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: Not not as a rookie. No, I mean I think 521 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: we all saw him. When I saw him at the 522 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: East West game, I wasn't overly impressed with what he showed. 523 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: I definitely didn't think that he was the guy who 524 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: would be a starting quarterback as a rookie. Maybe he 525 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: would make a team as a backup, be a late 526 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: round developmental prospect, you know Kyle Shanahan saw him is 527 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: something different. Now. The thing about that, when you have 528 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: a young quarterback or any quarterback, you gotta make sure 529 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: you surrounded with enough playmakers to minimize his deficiencies and right, 530 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: and then when you look at the roster, particularly on offense, 531 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: they don't have enough playmakers to mask with c J. 532 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: Bether Cannon can't do. Yeah, I'm with you on that. 533 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: That's uh, you know, like they're they're competitive early on 534 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: giving credit, I think you've seen some really really positive 535 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: signs from their defensive line. In their defensive front. They 536 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: gave the Eagles some fits there in that ball game. 537 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: But uh, offensively, it's a it's a long ways to 538 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: go there for the forty niners. Sorry, what's up? What's 539 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: the number eight here? Buck? Shady McCoy makes the Buffalo 540 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: Bills go, He's gonna score twenty fun fine fine touchto DJ, 541 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: I think the Buffalo Bills are real and I think 542 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: part of the reason they are a real team, a 543 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: team that is gonna be there at the end and 544 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna fight UH for a playoff burthers because Shady 545 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: McCoy gives them an identity on offense. No matter what, 546 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: whenever your defensive coordinator and you're making up that plan 547 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: to stop Buffalo, it has to start with dealing with 548 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy hundred and fifty one yards on the ground, 549 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: twenty seven carries, forty eight yard touchdown. His ability to 550 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: do all things from their running back spot allows the 551 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills to kind of substitute some guys that maybe 552 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: we say are B B plus type players, but they're 553 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: able to win games because the focal point in Buffalo 554 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: is the run game and everything else compliments that. Now, 555 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I give Tyrod Taylor a lot of 556 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: credit to I mean, this is a this is a 557 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: team that's built on let's play great defense, let's get 558 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: the ball out, let's them be able to run the 559 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: football offensively, and let's at the quarterback position, protect the ball. 560 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: So they've got kind of a formula that works, and 561 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: I think McDermott it's it's interesting when you look at 562 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: his background, haven't spent so much time in Philadelphia, and 563 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: then you look at his time in Carolina. I know 564 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: it almost sound like he's trying to get players like 565 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: the personality of a team and from a players standpoint, 566 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: maybe more so Philadelphia, but stylistically the way he's playing 567 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: the game, it reminds me more of the Carolina group 568 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: he was around. Yeah, I think he's trying to get 569 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: players to kind of fit his identity. He was a 570 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: guy that was a walk on player. Will you've been married. 571 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: He's a blue collar guy. He's a guy that has 572 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: kind of earned everything that he's gotten. When you look 573 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: at the guys that are on this team, I don't 574 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: think it's a coincidence that most of the guys that 575 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: have played have been cast off, misfass guys. They weren't 576 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: deemed to be really really good players, but somehow, together collectively, 577 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: they found the way to win games. Let's just think 578 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: about some of the guys that day've traded off. Sammy 579 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: Watkins was a guy that we thought would be a 580 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: blue chair player, Marcel Darius, who was recently let go 581 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: or traded way on Friday. They found a way to 582 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: move on without him. The fact that they're winning while 583 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: subtracting guys that we would grade as blue chip players. 584 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: Says that everyone in that locker room buys into the 585 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: fact that we are one and we're gonna play as 586 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 1: a team, and we're gonna win as a team. And 587 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing, no question. All right, let's we 588 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: got two, no more here, but why don't you get 589 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: another one going here? Number nine Cowboys rediscovered their winning formula, 590 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: going to give it a helliot right up the Midley's 591 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna rock the dawn. That was all that's too easy. 592 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: Elliott defiantly hands on hips, looks into the ground, says, 593 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: I believe that's touchdown. Elliott. You know, say what you 594 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: want to about the Dallas Cowboys, and I know we 595 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of pour dirt on them a little bit when 596 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: they stumbled a little at the beginning of the year. 597 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: But Zekiel Elliott thirty three carriers, a hundred fifty yards 598 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: run the ball, two touchdowns. Uh. The Dallas Cowboys are 599 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: able to impose their will on opponents. To that nature. 600 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: From an offensive standpoint, it's gonna be hard for anybody 601 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: to beat them with Zeke playing like that. Yeah, that's 602 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: the formula. You look at times, running at thirty nine 603 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: times and given a C at thirty three carries. I mean, 604 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: that's that's gonna work for them offensively through the air. 605 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: Really not much to get you all that excited, but uh, 606 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: David Irving showing up on defense, making some places to 607 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence continues to have his big year. So this 608 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: is a this is a football team. I think there 609 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: there's somebody I don't know if they're gonna win that division, 610 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: and the Eagles have a pretty good handle on it. 611 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: But man, I don't know. If if you want to 612 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: see the Cowboys come to town a wild card weekend, 613 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: that's uh, that's a ways away before we get to 614 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: the postseason. But that would not be an easy That 615 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: may not be an easy draw for anybody else in 616 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: the NFC. It won't be an easy draw because the 617 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: reason we say this is the formula time of possession 618 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: thirty three minutes. That's how they want to play. They 619 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: don't want their defense to be on the field. If 620 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: they're able to run the ball, dictate the terms on 621 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: offense and minimize the number of opportunities that their defense 622 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: has to try out there. That's the way that they're 623 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: going to win. They're not going to win because their 624 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: defense is gonna be a shut them down defense. Is 625 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: because they an opportunistic defense, and they find a way 626 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: to give their team enough extra opportunities, extra possessions that 627 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: a defensive the offense is able to cash in. Man, 628 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: no question, We'll see if the Cowboys can't keep it rolling, 629 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: it's a big win for them. It's a crushing loss 630 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: for the Redskins. Back to back division losses for them. 631 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: All right, last one on the list here the ten takeaways. 632 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: And this is something we've been talking about a little 633 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: bit throughout the year. Buck, But when you look at 634 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: this Colts ball club is sen Annapolis Colts team. Andrew 635 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: Luck is not the savior. He's not gonna be able 636 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: to save this group. Empty backfield, shotgun staff, the bare 637 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: hit or sp and he runs it in for US 638 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: Cincinnati touchdown. He batted the ball up in the air, 639 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: snatched it out of the air, and then rent it 640 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: into the house. Yeah. I mean when you watch this 641 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: ball club, I mean they fought against the Bengals. I 642 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: give the coach Bogano's group credit here. They were competitive 643 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: and fought in this ball game. But man, they just 644 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: they just look overmatched. That's so many different areas on 645 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: this roster. It's just it's not a good group. No, 646 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: it's not a good group. And I know there's a 647 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: lot been made about Andrew Luck coming back and some 648 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: of the things that the previous regime had done, but 649 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: Chris Ballet has this fingerprints on this roster as well. 650 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: They brought in a lot of guys, they turned over 651 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people. They got draft picks that are 652 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: playing on the field that you know, and this is 653 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: not a team that is very, very impressive to watch. 654 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: And so as much as we can talk about Andrew 655 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: Luck coming back, and that is the reason why they're 656 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: not in the playoff mix or they're not in the 657 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 1: full I think they have so many holes on their 658 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: roster that even if twelve comes back, there's still a 659 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: team just gonna finish below five hundreds and not necessarily 660 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: competing in the a f C South. Yeah, Buck, I mean, look, 661 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: I can't I can't disagree with you. I mean, they 662 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: had a chance to pick a lot of players. Last year, 663 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: they got some guys who really liked and Lee Cooker 664 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: was playing well until he got hurt. Um Man, I thought, 665 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack I want to see him get some more touches. 666 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: Had eleven carries, only twenty seven yards in this game, 667 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: but running behind a very good group to have a 668 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: touchdown through the year. Um But defensively, I just there's 669 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: there's nobody that really scares you at any level of 670 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: this defense right now. No impact players. They've got their 671 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: work cut out for him. My thing is gonna be 672 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: what happens if you're the Indianapolis Colts and let's say 673 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: let's say you make the phone called to Jim Harball. 674 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: He said, let's assume that coach Pagano is going to 675 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: be gone at the end of the year, which I 676 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: think a lot of people assuming will happen. If you're 677 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, even though you just brought in Chris 678 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: Ballard general manager one year in, you've had one draft. 679 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: If Jim Harbaugh says, I'll come, but I want complete 680 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: control and I want to be able to hire my 681 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: own guy, I mean I have to leave. Jim Mercy 682 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: is gonna say Okay, it's uh man, that's that's I 683 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: don't I don't know you say no to Jim Harball 684 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: in that in that instance, What do you think, Man, 685 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: that's a tough one, because I love what Jim Harbor 686 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: brings the table, and I loved that he already has 687 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: a connection with Andrew luck Um. I think his track 688 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: records piece for herself when it comes to instant turnarounds. 689 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're the general manager, if you 690 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: even go down to the line of thinking, because you 691 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: know how Jim, Jim Harbad thinks and the kind of 692 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: power and uh stuff that he's going to want to 693 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: have over this roster. I think it would come from 694 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: the owner. I mean, I think that's something that general 695 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: Manner has no saying. I think that's an owner talking 696 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: to Jim Harbaugh's representation and that that takes place in 697 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh would get the keys to the whole building. 698 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I would think, I mean, Jim Harba is 699 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: not gonna leave unless he gets total power and total control. 700 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: Actually shocked if you would, absolutely. I mean I agree 701 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: with you too, I man, I think that's tough on. 702 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: I think that's one you gentlemenage your fight and trying 703 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: to find any other candidate. Hey, let me get my 704 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: list together. Let me show you, let me show the Hey. 705 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: No, no no, no, no, no no no, Jim Jim Harbon No no 706 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: no no, no, no no. Let me let me get 707 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: this guy. How about this coordinator? Nice? You really help 708 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: us out? Yeah, I think I think that's a tough one. Um, 709 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: but you know, I think I think it would be 710 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: interesting because Jim Harba is a special guy in that area. 711 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: You think about Captain comeback, Um, what he was able 712 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: to do there as a player, his connection with Andrew Luck. 713 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: I think if you started connecting the Ducks, it's a 714 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 1: very sensible decision. And to bring him in and let 715 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: him do what he does, I'm with you. I'll be 716 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: interesting to see what takes place. You already have a 717 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: University of Florida moving on from their coach, a lot 718 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: more coaches to go on the college level. That's going 719 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: to be kind of the first wave that falls, and 720 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: I think we'll see some of the NFL coaching changes. 721 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: We'll see a couple of guys probably get let go 722 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: towards the end of the regular season, and then we'll 723 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: move on to that silly season and who knows what 724 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: could happen, but just something to file away there on 725 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: the Colts. How about that nice work man tend takeaways? Uh, 726 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: nicely done.
