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 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the sticks. DJ. Bucky

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: back with you, Buck. What's going on?

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: Man? Not too much? DJ.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 3: Has been a great week. We're gonna have a great

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: little football weekend. So I'm excited about it all. Yeah,

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: we are going to cover some ground here. We're going

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: to look at the game of the week that we have.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 3: We sometimes we do that on Thursdays, but on Friday

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: this week also going to have our BUCkies Coaches Corner

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 3: and the word this week is inspirational, So Bucky give

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: us a little wisdom on that one, and then we'll

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: check out some of these matchups if we have enough

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 3: time here at the end. You're gonna be a little

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 3: bit shorter episode today as we're kind of scrambling running

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 3: around a little bit. But Buck, why don't you start

17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 3: us off here? Get this thing going. It's out for

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: the Empts Game of the Week presented by DraftKings Sportsbook.

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: This week, the game is the Cowboys at the Eagles.

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: The spread is minus three favorite the Eagles. The Obra

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: under is forty seven.

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: DJ.

23
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: I've been excited for a lot of games, But this

24
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: one is one that we've been wait gone. And the

25
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: reason why I'm so excited about this is we can

26
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: acknowledge the Eagles of the number one seed, that the

27
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: team that everyone is talking about chasing in the NFC.

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: But the Cowboys have dominated the NFC East with Dak

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: Prescott under center. I mean, his record against the NFC

30
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: East is ridiculous, and so this is kind of an

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: opportunity for the Cowboys to change the narrative about their

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: season and who they are. We talk about this is

33
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: a team that can't touch above their weight class. They

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: beat up the lightweights, but man they fall to and

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: they get tk old versus the heavyweights. Well, now they

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: get a chance to change that against the team that

37
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: is loaded at the line of scrimmage. Even though the

38
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: quarterback Jaiden Hurst is banged up. This is a tough

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: challenge for the Dallas Cowboys.

40
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a great game. The Cowboys when

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: they're at their best, they play with anybody. And you

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: mentioned the record with Dak inside the division.

43
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: It is what it is.

44
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Speaks very highly of how he's performed and how he's

45
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: played there. This to me, on the Eagle side of

46
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: things you can't and we say it every week, right,

47
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: don't get punched with the right hand. You cannot let

48
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb beat you in this game. You cannot let

49
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: my Parsons beat you in this game. They have to

50
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: have all of your attention. That to me is the

51
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: key to the game. I think in order for the

52
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win, even though they had all this success,

53
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I think with the rosters where they are right now,

54
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: some of the injuries that the Cowboys have had, particularly

55
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: with with Digs in the secondary buck, I think the

56
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: Eagles have a more talented roster. But the Cowboys when

57
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: Dak is on, when CD's on, and when Micah Parsons

58
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: is on, they can take over the ball game and

59
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: they can beat the Philadelphia Eagles. That to me is

60
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the whole game. Right there are the Eagles going to

61
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: be able to slow them down. On the other side,

62
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I think if you know, Aj Brown's been getting so loose,

63
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: but even if you take aj Brown away, I feel

64
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: like they have more They have more options, more clubs

65
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: in their bag to beat you with.

66
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: Okay, so I would say this we would have one

67
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: of the first ones that kind of forecast at the

68
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine ers would be the breaks off

69
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: the Cowboys.

70
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: Because we decided leading up to the game, let's do

71
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: a draft.

72
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: Let's look at the top ten players in this game,

73
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 3: and how many of the Niners and how many of

74
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: your Cowboys?

75
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: And we found I think one cowboy maybe.

76
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Think it was two out of ten. I think it

77
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: was like eight to ten.

78
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Well, let's just let's run through the same

79
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: thing with the Philadelphia Eagles. When we think about the

80
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: top ten players in this game, how many of those

81
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: guys would be Cowboys? You can think about Okay, Michael

82
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: Parson's we make that at top ten list with see

83
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: either see Ceede Lamb, would I would take I mean

84
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: I would take Ceedee Lamb over DeVante Smith. So if

85
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: you're thinking about that, but man, it's just you go

86
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage and you're gonna see Eagles

87
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 3: getting picked all over the place.

88
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean you go, first of all, you're gonna have

89
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: a j. Brown is gonna come off the board. Uh yeah,

90
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Kelsey at the center is gonna come off the board.

91
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson's gonna come off the board. I mean, Goddard

92
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: would be in that mix. He's better than the tight

93
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: ends that the Cowboys have. Hassan Redick would go early.

94
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Sweat how he's played, would go early. You've got Slagh,

95
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin Byard's over there now obviously, you know

96
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter with what he's done early on in his career.

97
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's heavy. I mean, it's a it's

98
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: a better roster than the Dallas Cowboys have. You know,

99
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are one of the top six or seven

100
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: teams in the league to me, and they've got some

101
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: really good players. But I think if we, you know,

102
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: had gone through that entire draft process, it would be

103
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: pretty similar. Maybe seven out of ten would be Eagles.

104
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 1: It would be pretty heavy. It's pretty heavy.

105
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: And so when we think about that, like I'm not

106
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: saying Cowboys fans like it's impossible, but if you just

107
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: look at the talent, particularly the talent at the in

108
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: the trenches, at the line of screaming, this is tilted

109
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: heavily in the favor of the Philadelphia Eagles. The thing

110
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 3: that you worry about if you're the Philadelphia Eagles is

111
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 3: Jaalahurst is not the same and this offense runs differently

112
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: when he is able to utilize his legs and those things.

113
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: But right now, when I look at the Cowboys and

114
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: I look at the perimeter with Aj Brown, the Vonte Smith,

115
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: those guys, and what Aj Brown has been doing I

116
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: think was six straight games over one hundred and twenty

117
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: stupid team three yards of developing into like people are

118
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: talking about him challenging Justin Jefferson and DeVonta Adams whoever

119
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: you want to put in Tyreek Gill as a number

120
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: more receiver the game. This tough matchup. I mean, this

121
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: is up match and we talked about the spread being

122
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 3: maybe three. It's gonna be hard for the Cowboys to

123
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: keep this one close. If the Eagles are humming and

124
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: clicking all the silvas on offense.

125
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it gets as ugly as the

126
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: as the Niners game did. I thought where the Niners

127
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: were at that point in time, I thought that was

128
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for the Cowboys and the Cowboys there's

129
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: familiarity here obviously, as much as they see the Eagles.

130
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: I love Dak.

131
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: Dak's comments here the day Jerry Jones said he wasn't

132
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna say anything to get himself in trouble and kind

133
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: of poke the bear and uh and they told Dak

134
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: that he so you can pour honey on me. Yeah,

135
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't care about I don't care about the bear.

136
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

137
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: So he kind of relishes that environment. And you mentioned

138
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: the success he's had rightfully, so right yeah, I mean

139
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: he has had a ton of success.

140
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: And it's funny because when people won't say it this,

141
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: they like, oh, it would be a quotable. But when

142
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: jeden Hurst was coming out, the guy compared him to

143
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: was that in terms of leadership ability and some of

144
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: the game and those things. And that was because of

145
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: how Dak Prescott handled himself in Mississippi State and how

146
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: he handled himself as a pro.

147
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: We have seen how Jalen Hurst has handled himself as

148
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: a leader and the QB one.

149
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: But Dak Prescott is no longer the athlete that he

150
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: once was, so it limits some of the stuff that

151
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: the Cowboys can do. We see him try and run

152
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: the football, but I worry about them with running the ball.

153
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: Tony Poller is mine, but they don't have that banger

154
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: that allows them to really control it. Can they get

155
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: to the magic number? I think the magic number in

156
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: this game is going to be twenty seven. You have

157
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: to score twenty seven or more points to be able

158
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: to do it, and so we'll see what it looks like.

159
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: We'll see the magic number is that we will see

160
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: if the Cowboys or the Eagles are able to get

161
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: it done. I'm gonna lean towards affiliate Eagles doing that

162
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000

168
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We come back.

169
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: We've got bunch Bucky's coaches corner right after this. All right, Buck,

170
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: the word of the week this week you have selected

171
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: is inspirational as our theme slash term of the week.

172
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: It's all yours.

173
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

174
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: So, when we think about inspirational, one of the jobs

175
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: of the coach is to always make sure that your

176
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: players are motivated and inspired to be at their best

177
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: when their best is required. Prior to being a head coach,

178
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: dj I thought a lot of the coaching responsibility centered

179
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: around AYMN these great speeches and finding a way to

180
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: kind of poke to bear to get those guys up.

181
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: And what I'm firing at finding out is you have

182
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: to find a way to have your guys inspired to

183
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: be intrinsically motivated. Many I want to be ready to play,

184
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: ready to go at all times, whether I'm yelling at

185
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: you or pushing you or not. Do you have the

186
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: ability inside to inspire yourself and your teammates to be

187
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: at their best. And sometimes that might take an occasional quote,

188
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: that might take a video, that might take like like a.

189
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: Speech that you delivered in front of the team. But

190
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: the main thing is you got to find a way

191
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: to help your team refocus their energy so they can

192
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: bring their a game at all times. And so inspirational

193
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: means the leader has to be able to motivate, inspire, encourage,

194
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: and enlighten the team.

195
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: To be able to be at their best.

196
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: And so as a head coach man, you have to

197
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: dig anywhere and everywhere to find those little.

198
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: Things to kind of get your team going.

199
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I think people be curious on the outside who haven't

200
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: been inside in an NFL locker room. Like you hear

201
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: the term rah rah right, Like, oh, some of these

202
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: coaches are just rah rah guys, Like have you played

203
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: did you play for a coach? Any of them that

204
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: you had that were raw rock? Because I'm thinking of

205
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: going through the roll decks in my head and I

206
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: think of a guy like Marty Schottenheimer. Surely he had

207
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: to have given you some inspiring speeches over the years.

208
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: So that is it, Like Marty's thing was that?

209
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: Man, Marty, I mean, I've never seen a grown man

210
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: cry as much for the success that he said. He

211
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: had a way of getting you going because he was

212
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: so masterful with his words and look, he understood what

213
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: was needed. He could kind of stir the emotional pot

214
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: to kind of get you ready to go, and that

215
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: is a part of the get. But the best coaches

216
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: not only have that, but they also have the ability

217
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: to utilize tactics and strategy. And when you have both,

218
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: that's when you have a ton of success. People don't

219
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: like the notion of a raw rock coach being the

220
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: leader in a pro locker room, but man, sometimes you

221
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: got to get guys going. You got to find a

222
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: way to kind of change the energy and everyone is

223
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: just looking for that one little nugget to kind of

224
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: raise the energy.

225
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Inspirational coaches have the ability to find that.

226
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's you know, inspirational is not only

227
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: you know collectively you think about inspirational you know, raw

228
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: ros speech or let's get the team and we got

229
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: to you know this for this reason or that reason

230
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: that we could go out and get what we get.

231
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, we call this coach's corner,

232
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: but this is individually based as well. You think about,

233
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: hilariously the the Michael Jordan stuff about how he found

234
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: inspiration from odd places at times where he had to

235
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: find it uh to be able to get a little

236
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: extra going into certain games and having a little chip

237
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: on his shoulder and taking offense to certain things. But

238
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: those great, great players buck every game, you know, because

239
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: they always say you treat every single game like like

240
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: it's the same. But there's different things that get you

241
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: inspired from one game to the next. The key is

242
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: that you're ready to go, you're inspired, your preparation, your

243
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: focus is where it needs to be. I think that

244
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: can be an individual thing too.

245
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely everybody's looking for the thing. It's one of those

246
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 3: reasons why every team. Every player always talking about believe

247
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 3: us Georgia, that was the best.

248
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: And so and so.

249
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: What you're trying to find is like that one little nugget,

250
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: the little doubt that allows you to kind of change

251
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: the energy. And as a coach, you relist the opportunity

252
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: for someone to give you like one of those little

253
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: bulletin board quotes where you're like.

254
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: Oh, yummy, yummy, yummy. We could throw this out into

255
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: the team and the team is going to eat this up.

256
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: But I'll say this to think about inspiration and all

257
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: this stuff like that emotion and stuff will last for

258
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 3: a little bit, but you got to have other stuff

259
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: with it. You got to have the discipline of detail,

260
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: You got to have the preparation part of it to

261
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: be able to do it. The energy change is great,

262
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: but without those other things, look, man, it's fleeting. So

263
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: you got to be able to take the inspirational part

264
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: and wrap it with some tactics and detail, some preparation

265
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: habits that allow you to win.

266
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Well. See if you agree with me on this one.

267
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: I think from inspirational standpoint, using that as the word,

268
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: I think the lower levels the more important it is.

269
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: If you're thinking about you know, high school and then

270
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: to college and then to the NFL. In the NFL,

271
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: and I've seen guys try it, you know that can

272
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of go overboard with that with with kind of

273
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: the emotional passionates, and it's kind of you kind of

274
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: roll your eyes and move on a little bit. At

275
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: the higher levels, it's a long season and you're a professional. Like, look,

276
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm paid, it's my job. I feed my family on

277
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: being motivated and ready to play in high school, out

278
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: your mind going a million different places. Let's rein it in,

279
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: let's find focus, let's find inspiration for this game. In college.

280
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: Similar thing. I think when you're a professional, especially when

281
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: you get veterans, they don't respond quite as well in

282
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: terms of the motivational speech, is what I'm getting at.

283
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So here's a funny thing, DJ.

284
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if I ever told you this, but

285
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 3: last year, when we were going through the playoffs and stuff,

286
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: we were.

287
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Playing in big games and championship games.

288
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: I did a bunch of research in terms of like

289
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: how great coaches handle big games. And so two guys

290
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: that came across, two of the biggest winners, obviously a

291
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: Nick Saban and Phil Jackson, and even though their approaches

292
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: are different, they both said the same thing.

293
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: The calmest team wins.

294
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: Try to take the emotion out of it and just

295
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: focus on execution over all of that emotional stuff. Yes,

296
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: you want the extra energy, but at the end of

297
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: the day, the team that executes the best. And so

298
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: if you can keep yourself in a neutral state and

299
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: really just locking on what do I need to do,

300
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: how do I need to do it, and when do

301
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: I need to do it, those are the teams that

302
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: are gonna win. So as much as I love the

303
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: inspirational thing, you also have to make sure that you

304
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: keep them at a calm level so they can focus.

305
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: Last year versus Tennessee, Alabama talked about being so emotional

306
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: they couldn't focus, and so Nick Saban said, hey, let's

307
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: take that down a little bit. Let's concentrate, let's play

308
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: our best, just focusing on the things that we can control.

309
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: I think about our buddy William McGuinness having that conversation

310
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady when Tom Brady's head button everybody before

311
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: his first Super Bowl and Billy's like, whoa, man, hey,

312
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: calm down. He dialist thing down a little bit here, man, Yeah.

313
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: Don't beat too soon, don't burn apart your gas in pregame.

314
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: Let's hey, let's calm down. You got plenty of time

315
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: to wrap it up. And Coach Brown used to always

316
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: talk about it. He said, guys, the emotion lasts for

317
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: maybe the first quarter or so, and then we're gonna

318
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: play ball. Yeah, the best team ends up winning. So

319
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 3: let's navigate through the emotion. Then let's focus on what

320
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: we need to do to get it duck.

321
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: All right, two NFL games I want to hit you

322
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: on here in the a couple of minutes. We got

323
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: left looking forward to the most on this late and

324
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: it's Seattle at Baltimore. It's gonna be a great one.

325
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: And then Buffalo at Cincinnati. That's the Sunday night game.

326
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: Let's start Seattle Baltimore. Key to that, one bucket, key.

327
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: To that one man can see how efficient Lamar Jackson

328
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: in this offense is.

329
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: We have seen them kind of turn the corner a

330
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: little bit.

331
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson has kind of been a playmaker who's doing

332
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: a little differently this year than if past year.

333
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: Is leaning more on the arm than the legs. They're

334
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: thrown around the yard a little bit.

335
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: We've seen kind of a Hodgepodgy receivers kind of step

336
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: up and make plays. Can they continue to do it

337
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: against a Seattle team that is quietly kind of reinventing

338
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: themself on defense on the fly you bring over Leonard Williams.

339
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: You think about the additions that they had in the offseason,

340
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: Jamal Adams coming back. This team is one that is

341
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: kind of coming together, and they're kind of tucked away

342
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: in that corner pocket of being good playoff contender, if

343
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: not on playoff contender, but like a t If they

344
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: get this thing going with Leonard Williams kind of joining the.

345
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Mix, it's an interesting game.

346
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what Letard Williams looks like if

347
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: he plays, and how they kind of put this together.

348
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: This is a huge game for both teams.

349
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at a you know, a Baltimore team

350
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: that's had I would say three I'm going to go

351
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: through the list here and say they've had three bully games. Okay,

352
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: we think of the Baltimore Ravens, how their defense has

353
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: been awesome this year, but they are viewed widely as

354
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: kind of a bully They played bully ball. They've done

355
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: it for over twenty years. So I'll say the Cleveland Browns,

356
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: with how they play, that's a bully and the Ravens

357
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: beat him twenty eight to three. Buck they played the

358
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers how they like to play defensively offensively year,

359
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: but that was a game the Ravens lost seventeen to ten.

360
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: And then the last bully they played was the Detroit

361
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: Lions and they beat him thirty eight to six. So

362
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: two just blowouts against bullies, and Seattle is Pete Carroll's

363
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: trying to assemble a bully here with how they're building

364
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: their team. They want to run the ball with these backs.

365
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: They've invested in that fronts you just mentioned with Leonard

366
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: Williams coming in there to join that group. They got

367
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: a talent at front seven. Man, I'm just telling you,

368
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens relish playing in these They relish these types

369
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: of games, especially when they're at home.

370
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: I mean when they have an opportunity to play bully

371
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: ball kind of motto, a mono heavyweight fight, make it ugly,

372
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: make it nasty, yep. A game that Seattle wants to

373
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: engage in. Yeah, they think they're the biggest bullies on

374
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: the block. And then goes way back. They goes to

375
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: when ray Lewis used to run out and throw to

376
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: the They look forward.

377
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: To it, and you're right at M and T. They're

378
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: just a different animal.

379
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: This This should be a great but it's gonna be

380
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: a tough one for Seattle in that environment because a

381
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: play early by that defense it kind of gets everyone going.

382
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: And we've seen that that that purple crowd in the flock,

383
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: it can be difficult to deal with.

384
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: We can run away from you. Yeah, yeah, real quick

385
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: here Buffalo Cincinnati, Cincinnati looks right, they're at home and

386
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: this one Buffalo comes to town. It's a Sunday night

387
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: or it feels like it's building here and I know,

388
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, coming out of the by they get they

389
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: hammer the forty nine ers. This is a you know, okay,

390
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: you think we're back. We meet Buffalo in this game

391
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: on this stage, you know we're back.

392
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is it. This is it and the last

393
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: time they've met. You know, Cincinnati certainly took care of

394
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 3: the Buffalo bills. Like what they're doing on the offense,

395
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: like how they've kind of changed up the offense with

396
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow becoming getting healthier, utilizing his legs more undercenter stuff. Now,

397
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: if they're able to get the running game on track,

398
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: then you'll see them begin to score points in bunches

399
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: like we've seen them doing previous years. This is a

400
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: team that's running the foreman loot and a Romo is

401
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: doing a really good job with the defense.

402
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: To me, for the Buffalo Bills to win, they have

403
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: to go all in on the Josh Allen experience.

404
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: I know we've talked about a man you don't want

405
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: to run as much with their team. Let's be honest, DJ,

406
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: When I look at their team, two blue chip players,

407
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs, some good players, but the blue

408
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: chippers are the quarterback and the whyever receiver you gott

409
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: unleashed him. It has to be those guys making a

410
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: ton of plays to keep this game going and to

411
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: find a way to turn this game into a shootout.

412
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: Yep, it's gonna be a good one. Sunday night, we will.

413
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: We'll be back to recap that next week. I've got
