1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,519
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky, Rhett back with you.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: It is a Wednesday, but we are fired up. There's

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: no middle of the week loll here. We are pumped

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: about what we've got coming your way on today's episode,

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: including looking at a defensive performance by the Dallas Cowboys

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: that was eye opening. What is it about that front

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: that makes them so special? We'll jump into that as

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: well as we'll get into this Thursday night football matchup

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: between the Vikings and the Eagles, which should be a

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: good one.

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: All right.

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Well, one of the more dominating performances that you could make,

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: in case it was the most dominating performance Week one

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: was the Cowboys defense and what they did to Daniel

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Jones and the New York Giants. You see right here,

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: highest pressure percentage in a single game the last five years,

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: and there are the Dallas Cowboys in the four hole.

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: With a sixty two point two.

21
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Percentage of pressure. I mean that is ridiculous. Over sixty

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps they're getting pressure on the quarterback.

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: Good luck playing offense when you're going up against that Buck.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: When you look at this Cowboys group, you look at

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: that front you look at what they've done coaching wise,

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: personnel wise, this looks like this could be the start

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: of a pretty special season.

28
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty special season. And I'm gonna say it starts

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: with one player, and that's Michael Parsons. Elite defenses have

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: one person that acts as the point on the sword.

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: That's Michael Parsons. This is a guy that can play

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 3: multiple spots along this front line. He can come from depth,

33
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: he can line up on the edges, he can go

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: and line up over the guard and just outwork and

35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: overpower a variety of different blockers utilizing various different moves.

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: This is a special athlete.

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: And what Dan Quinn has done is he's really unlocked

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: a lot of the pass rush potential that flashed at

39
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: Penn State when he was coming out. This dude is

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: one of the best pass rush is one of the

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: best disruptors that we've seen in some time, and the

42
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: Cowboys have built their defense around number eleven.

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: Make him play after play after play at the line

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: of scrimmage.

45
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: The other thing I feel like we've talked about for

46
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: a while now, it's like, well, yeah, you got Parsons.

47
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: Then on the other side, you got to Marcus Lawrence,

48
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: you know, has been one of the best dead rushers

49
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: in the game for a long time. But guys, it

50
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: feels like Dawrence Armstrong has kind of become that number

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: two dude for the Cowboys in terms of getting after

52
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: the passer.

53
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean, another two sacks in this game.

54
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: The former Kansas Jayhawk, you know, came into the league

55
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 4: as a fourth round pick. I feel like it took

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: a little bit of time to really start finding his stride.

57
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: Man last year absolutely exploded and man, he's picking up

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: right where he left off. Just a pressure machine and

59
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: he gets to the quarterback, he gets home and that

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: was fun to watch. So you know, between him and

61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: Sam Williams and Adgie Zua in the interior, like they

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: get just came at you in waves from every different

63
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: spot on the field. And you know, whether you're bringing pressure,

64
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: you know, an additional rusher from the second level, whether

65
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: it's Michael Parsons or you're just lining them up up

66
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 4: front and you're bringing four, they are going to generate

67
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: pressure one way or another. You know, obviously, at this rate,

68
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: I don't know that you can expect that each and

69
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: every week. But man, that is going to be an absolute,

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: you know, essentially extremely difficult scenario for posing quarterbacks this season.

71
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: I went up there and watched them at camp and

72
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, you know, everybody time about the offense,

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: this defense has got a chance to be special. Just

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: with the speed. There's a different speed in Temple that

75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: they play with. They practice that way because they're coached

76
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: that way by Dan Quinn. They have a lot of

77
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: different pieces. But to Bucky's point, I go back to,

78
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, those like the little videos that they always

79
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: show up on the Internet of like a laser pointer

80
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: and a cat that's following the laser pointer everywhere that

81
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: it goes like, that's Micah Parsons. Wherever he is, he

82
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: draws so much attention, he still finds a way to

83
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: win even though he's getting all that attention. But when

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: they loop him and move him inside, you'll see it.

85
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna get He's going to track two or three bodies.

86
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: It frees up everybody else one on one. And when

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: I watched it in the tape this morning, to me,

88
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: odig Azua was the one who just jumped off the screen.

89
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's he can rush in, he can rush outside.

90
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: He has an unbelievable knack for getting skinny and just

91
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: slipping blocks. He can close and finish. You talked about

92
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Doriance Armstrong and what he brings to the table as well.

93
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: They have guys that can do a lot of different things.

94
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: They have different pitches. Sam Williams is their fastball pitcher.

95
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: He can just win right on the snap. So now

96
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a fluky one week thing.

97
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: They've got the I believe they have the Jets next week,

98
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: so that'll be a fascinating one. That's not an easy

99
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: one coming off of Zach Wilson having a fill in

100
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers against the Bills. And now you've got

101
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: to go face the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons and company.

102
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Buck when you looked at them and you look at

103
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles, obviously different opponents. The Patriots gave the Eagles

104
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: a much better game. Or do you stack these guys

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: up one weekend with the Eagles and the Cowboys.

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: You know the Cowboys are right there.

107
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: In fact, I'll say the Cowboys are over there based

108
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: on Dak Prescott's record against the team. And then when

109
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: I look at the defense just the way that the

110
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: Cowboys are turning the ball over. This would be the

111
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: second year in a row that they had be able

112
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: to just knock the ball loose.

113
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: Whether it's scooping.

114
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: Scores, picking off passes, taking pick sixes, blocking field goals,

115
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: and pats.

116
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: The Cowboys can do it in a variety of ways.

117
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: And we know, an opportunistic defense that can create turnovers

118
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: just helps you because turnovers are the biggest deciding factor

119
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: in the game.

120
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: Give me the Cowboys right there.

121
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: Over the Eagles. I got to see more from the

122
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: Eagles young players. Can they feel the Boys that void

123
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: that was created by some of the departures of the

124
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: veterans on the front line.

125
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: You know, And I think if we're looking at defenses

126
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: from week one that really impressed us, you know, I

127
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: think obviously you're talking about, you know what we saw

128
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 4: from the Jets forty nine ers against the Steelers. Obviously

129
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, you know, subject of this discussion against the Giants.

130
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 4: Eagles sure going to be in that conversation. You got

131
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 4: to throw the Browns in there now too in the AFC,

132
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: based on what they did to Joe Burrow and Jim

133
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: Schwartz now leading the way as a defensive coordinator. But

134
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: I think we're going to learn a lot, you know,

135
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 4: about both of those deep Cowboys and Jets seeing them

136
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: on that same field, watching that the next day after

137
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 4: four to twenty five Eastern time match up here week two,

138
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: that's gonna be a lot of fun. There's gonna be

139
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 4: a lot of pressure on both of these quarterbacks, you know,

140
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson now for the Jets and Dak for the

141
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: for the for the Cowboys. So I'm really kind of

142
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: intrigued to see how both those guys handle it because

143
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 4: that is a tough task on both sides.

144
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

145
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: No, I think these these defenses are for real. And

146
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: we've talked so much quarterbacks offenses, and it looks like

147
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Week one maybe the bigger storyline of some of these

148
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: teams that are stacked on the defensive side of the ball.

149
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: The Cowboys definitely amongst that group. We're going to go

150
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: from looking at things from a defensive team perspective, let's

151
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: narrow it down individually and Buck, this is going to

152
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: be right in your wheelhouse because it's a guy that

153
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: you see each and every week, and Josh Allen, that's

154
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: It's not kind to say the other Josh Allen that

155
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: he's a lesser known Josh Allen, the edge rusher for

156
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars who had a big time Week one,

157
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: three sacks against the Indianapolis Colts. You know, what have

158
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: you seen from him from when he came into the league,

159
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: when he first got to Jacksonville to where he is

160
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: at this point in time.

161
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, an ascending player.

162
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: This is a player that is playing for a new contract,

163
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: a guy that is very motivated, and he's taken advantage

164
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: of the opportunities.

165
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: The Jacksonville Jaguars need a.

166
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: Premier pass rusher to emerge, and Josh Allen is looking

167
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: like that guy. What happened against the Indianapolis Coats. Josh

168
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: Allen got more opportunities. In previous years, there was a

169
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: deep rotation eight nine guys coming in.

170
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: He wouldn't get all of the snaps.

171
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: Last week against the Indianapolis Colts, he and Trayvon Walker

172
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: played nearly every passing down and the extra opportunities we

173
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: saw Josh Allen take advantage of him.

174
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: He hunted after Anthony Richardson.

175
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: I love the energy, I love the relentlessness, the tenacity

176
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: the toughness, he did all those things.

177
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: This is a guy who has been to a Pro

178
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: Bowl as a pass rusher. He is determined to get

179
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: back because he knows if he gets back, he gets paid.

180
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: This guy, number forty one for the Jaguars looks the

181
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: part right now. He is off to a fast start

182
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: for the twenty three campaign. Yeah, and I'll shoot over

183
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: to rat here real quick.

184
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: But this was a as more of a finesse player

185
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: coming out of college. It was all speed, it was

186
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: all finesse. I'm seeing him get some of it, maybe

187
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: just growing into his man strength. He's getting physically stronger.

188
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: But the effort is often the component that people forget

189
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: about when it comes to pass rushers. You look at

190
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: guys that have big numbers every year, you're going to

191
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: find five or six sacks like the ones he had

192
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: last week based on effort.

193
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that first one was I mean a

194
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: triple time testament to that effort. I mean you had

195
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: the tight end chips them initially, and then you get

196
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: the running back gets a piece of him on his

197
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: way out of the backfield, and then the right tackle finally,

198
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: you know, tries to get to him.

199
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: But it's too late, just because that.

200
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: Motor burns so hot and that speed is there as

201
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: you were talking about, the finesse piece to the game,

202
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: and just continues to close and continues to close in

203
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: on Anthony Richardson. And I think that's probably a lesson

204
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: for the young quarterback too. It's like, hey, you can't

205
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: afford to hold the ball this long and that in

206
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: this league. And so I think he'll he'll get better

207
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: for that. And Josh Allen is certainly a big piece

208
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: of what the Jaguars want to do defensively because you

209
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: know you can always win with that kind of effort.

210
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: Obviously you want to you want to win a little

211
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: bit quick if you can, but you'll take that effort

212
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 4: every day.

213
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a bad start for the Jags and Josh Allen,

214
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: big Week one win.

215
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: We'll see what they look like as we go throughout

216
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: the season.

217
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: All Right, Coming up next, we are going to look

218
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: at the Thursday night matchup. It should be a good

219
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: one and intriguing matchup when you look at the Vikings

220
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: going to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

221
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a fun one. We'll dig into it

222
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: right after this.

223
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: Coming up Thursday night, we have a very interesting matchup

224
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: two teams coming off different weeks. Here, we've got the

225
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. They're going to be at home, coming off

226
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: of a win over the New England Pageots. It wasn't

227
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: the prettiest win, but they got it done on the road.

228
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: They come home and they're going to take on a

229
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings team that buck. When you look at this

230
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Vikings team offensively, yeah, it's great.

231
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: They threw it all over the place, Justin Jefferson had

232
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: his numbers.

233
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: Kirk goes over three hundred yards, but the run game

234
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: was pretty much non existent and they couldn't find their

235
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: way to the winner circle against the Tampa Bay Bucks

236
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: team led by Baker. So you don't use terms like

237
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: must win game in week two, but this should be

238
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: a highly motivated Minnesota Vikings team going on the road

239
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: in a short week that they have to have to

240
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: look a little better, a little more well.

241
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: Rounded than what we saw week one. Now must win

242
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: game is appropriate.

243
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: Right now, everyone knows the stats when you go owing

244
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: to your chance of making playoffs a very very slim,

245
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean almost slim and none. And so this is

246
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: one where Kirk Cousins and company offensively. They got to

247
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: get it going because they are the strength of the team.

248
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: They need Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ. Hockinson.

249
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: This offense to play at a high level. Kevin O'Connell

250
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: has to be in his bag, and he has to

251
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: be in his bag. Not necessarily for the passing game.

252
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 3: They need to run the football. They moved on from

253
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook put a lot on Alexander Madison underperformed the

254
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: first one. They need to run the football to balance

255
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: it out. They also need to run the ball to

256
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: protect their defense from unnecessary exposure. This is one where

257
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: the offense for the Minnesota Vikings has to come through,

258
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: and they got to come through in a big way.

259
00:10:59,679 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

260
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: Look, I mean you got to get rid of the turnovers,

261
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: especially in really difficult situations.

262
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: Right, they get a strip sack.

263
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: On Kirk Cousins deep in their own end zone, you know,

264
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: inside their own twenty. You give a short field, the

265
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: Baker mayfield and the bucks there. You know, helps out

266
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 4: an offense that you know, look, I don't know what

267
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: we expected a ton out of them early on, but

268
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: did enough to get the win. And then you know,

269
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: you throw a touchdown in the red zone on the

270
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: other side, and you're taking points off the board there,

271
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: so you're giving points, you're taking points off the board.

272
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 4: And then they had another fumble down you know, right

273
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: about the twenty five yard line going in, so like

274
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: they had some serious points taking off the board due

275
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 4: to turnovers, and then absolutely gave away some points. But

276
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: you never want to turn the football over. You especially

277
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: don't want to do it on either side the plus

278
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: of the minus twenty yard line. And I feel like

279
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: the if the Vikings can clean that up there, we're

280
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: probably talking about them winning this game this last week,

281
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: and so you absolutely cannot afford those turnovers against a

282
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 4: team like Philly.

283
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: Page well, in honor of Monica from friends, you know

284
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: how many points the Minnesota Vikings scored against the Philadelphia

285
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: Eagles when they played last year seven That was it.

286
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: So they did not do well against this Eagles group.

287
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: This Eagles defense is still in really good shape. I

288
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: know we talked about Javon Hargrave man. Jalen Carter was

289
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: awesome in Week one. Depending on who you follow in

290
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: terms of statistics, you know, six seven, eight pressures when

291
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: you watch the cutups, He's winning consistently, so that pass

292
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: rush against Kirk Cousins is going to be a problem

293
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings. You also look at Jalen Hurts

294
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: what he did in that meeting last year. I know,

295
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: big deal twenty six to thirty one for three hundred

296
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards. So they had some success through

297
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: the air against the Minnesota Vikings last year as well.

298
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: So for me, I'll get it back to you on

299
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: this one, Buck, But the Minnesota Vikings, they better find

300
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: a pass rush up front that's going to be big

301
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: for them. On the defensive side of the ball, try

302
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: and disrupt the rhythm and the timing of Jalen Hurts,

303
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: which they did not do last year. And they sure

304
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: as heck better run the ball because if they dropped

305
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: back forty plus times with no run game, Kirk Cousins

306
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: is going to get hit and often.

307
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna get hit early enough.

308
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: The one thing to think about is Bill Belichick kind

309
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: of laid out the game plan for how the Minnesota

310
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: Vikings could and should particilarly play the Philadelphia Eagles. Brian

311
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: Floyes certainly knows how to employ some of those similar tactics,

312
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 3: some of the stuff that the Patriots did the Stemy

313
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurst was a lot of cover too, I mean

314
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: not a cover too, cover zero and cover zero. Shill

315
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: looks look for the Minnesota Vikings to do some of

316
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: that stuff because those are staples of what Brian Floyes

317
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: has always done as a defensive coordinator.

318
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: And just from Philly's perspective, real quick, I know we

319
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: talked about it on Monday a little bit about, you know,

320
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: the run game for the Eagles and the usage of

321
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: the running backs. You know, we didn't necessarily have a

322
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 4: good feel for it coming in and I feel like

323
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: we're still kind of searching for it. Kenneth Gainwell obviously

324
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: leading the way in touches for that group, DeAndre Swift

325
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: basically a ghost in the game plan in terms of

326
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 4: touches within that offense. So how does that kind of

327
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: manifest itself moving forward? And is it a week to

328
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: week thing where like they feel like maybe against the

329
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: Vikings there's going to be some more opportunities for DeAndre

330
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: Swift to find his place in this game plan. So

331
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: I'm kind of really curious to see how Nick Siriani

332
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: and company continue to deploy the.

333
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: Running backs yeah, average under four yards of carry, something

334
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: they need to get better at, and they have with

335
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: their offensive line, with their scheme, with the threat of

336
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: Jalen as a runner that still exists, there's no reason

337
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: for them not to be more productive on the ground

338
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: in this one. So interesting game. See what the Eagles

339
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: look like coming off kind of an ugly win. And

340
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: then you've got Minnesota. They played terrible, but you know

341
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: they didn't find a way to win their ballgame. So

342
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: Thursday night, big game in the NFC.

343
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: Who knows.

344
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: These teams could see each other again down the road

345
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Two teams that made the tournament last year,

346
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: So looking forward to that one. Looking forward to a

347
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: great Week two of NFL action. A lot to live

348
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: up to after an exciting Week one, but we cannot

349
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,600
