1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks. Ten takeaways from Week five 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks and Rhett Lewis. What's up? 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: Everybody moved the sticks here? And guys, we've we've got 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: our takeaways here, which we've already put in to the rundown. 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: But we do have some breaking news here that I 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: think we do need to talk about here at the top, Buck, 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: I guts to start with you here. Redskins fired. Jake Gruden. No, 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: no surprise, is there no kind of long overdo And 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: I think here's what happened. Happens uh DJ in front 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: offices and and those things like obviously we always talked 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: about when you make a decision, you make a team decision. 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: Everyone works together. We're all kind of making a collaborative effort, 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: and once a guy is picked, he becomes our guy. 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't become the front offices guy. He's not the 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: coaches guy or whatever. And I think when you started 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: to hear the leaks about Dwayne Haskins not necessarily being 17 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: who the coaches preferred in those things kind of leaking out, 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: and we have other issues with Adrian Peterson, it just 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: seemed like, look, maybe not through any fault of his 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: own or maybe by being too honest with some of 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: his media cohorts. Jake Gruden kind of wrote his own 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: epithet when he came to his dismissal as the Washington 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: brisk and head coach. And uh, I just I just 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: think it speaks to the lack of chemistry and coninuity 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: that existed in Washington. Yeah, I mean this quarterback who 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: was probably the icing on the cake, right, but um, 27 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, the fact of the matter is, you know, 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: he's a guy who comes in with an offensive specialty 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: and and they have not been able to perform offensively. 30 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: And you know, we go back to if you think 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: back to Alex Smith coming over. We were looking at 32 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: it in our aftermath meeting. They were six and three 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: with Alex Smith as their starting quarterback. They've been one 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: in eleven since. So you know, obviously that injury, you know, 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: was on an unfortunate kind of piece of this whole 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: equation because then it forces you to the Haskins marketing. 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they were in it already, but still it's you know, 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where they haven't gotten 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback right at all, you know, much less how 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: they handled this one. DJ. Yeah, I think you know, 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: you look at the quarterback position, you can go back. 42 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: I think Jay Gruden started um and you can look, 43 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: there's never been a period of time except for that 44 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: little stretch with Alex Smith, where the entire organization has 45 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: been behind the same quarterback. Because remember we had the 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: RG three Cousins thing that was at the tail end 47 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: of that whole issue when when Gruden took over, When 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: Jay Gruden took over, so you have that, then there 49 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: was you know, never committing to Cousins, right, it's it's 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: franchise tag, not doing a long term deal. So obviously 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: people in the front office didn't think he was a 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: long term solution, and who knows, maybe they were right 53 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: in that the way things that are starting to play 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: out here in Minnesota, but the point being the guy 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: on the field, not everybody was behind him. Then you 56 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: get that little sliver there with Alex Smith where they're 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: all on the same page, from the front office to 58 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff of the half success and then on 59 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: that unfortunate injury to him, and then since then here 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: we've got another there shuffling of the quarterbacks, and some 61 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: people are you know, allegedly Haskins guys. Other people are 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy guys. It's just they can't get on the 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: same page. So where they go from here. They need 64 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: to identify is Dwayne Haskins that guy? And if he 65 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: is that guy, let's get behind him with the entire organization. 66 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: And if not, Buck this could be a situation just 67 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: like the Arizona Cardinals where they could double dip. You 68 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: look at the Arizona Cardinals, go Josh Rosen one year, 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: come back with the first overall pick, and go Kyler Murray. 70 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: That to me is while Even if you think Dwayne 71 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: Haskins is not ready prepared to play in the NFL 72 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: right now, before we get to the halfway mark, you 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: have to at least get him up to speed so 74 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: he can start the final eight games of this season. 75 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Pare it down, whatever you gotta do, but you have 76 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: to get an evaluation of him because this team is 77 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: is uh is dancing towards a top five pick? Well 78 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: what if? What if it's the people that make those 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: decisions that just already believe that he's the answer. And 80 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, at that point does it matter, Well, I mean, 81 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: then you better hire somebody as a coach that's gonna 82 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: come in sight unseen and and be the guy to 83 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: get and seemed throw play much in the NFL. That's 84 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: the challenge of getting a coach. Yeah, well, I think 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: this was this was kind of mishandled from the start. Um. 86 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: I think when we go back and we look at 87 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: how the young quarterbacks have played DJ every young quarterback 88 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: that has been drafted at the top of the board 89 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: has played immediately, whether it's a game or two, they 90 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: get in there. Daniel Jones jumped right in after two games. 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: And so for the Dayne Haskins and this organization, Look, 92 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: if you take Dwayne Haskins where you take him, you 93 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: have to kind of be all in and everyone has 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: to kind of pull the boat in that direction. So 95 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: if Dwayne Haskins can't throw out routes, don't call out routes. Like, 96 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: whatever you're committed to doing around the quarterback has to 97 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: be a full organizational effort. And look, this seemed like 98 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: it was a tug a war between Jay Gruden and 99 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: the front office and the owner and who should play. 100 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: And I think unfortunately, look, Dwayne Haskins got thrown in 101 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: the middle. And also felt like Dwayne Haskins didn't do 102 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: his part. Just from the outside looking in, I didn't 103 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: feel like prepared like some of those other guys, prepared 104 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: to be ready for his opportunity when his number was called, 105 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: and so he was put out there in staid up 106 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 1: to fail. But regardless whoever takes over this job short 107 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: term and long term, I do believe that that is 108 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: probably one of the first questions that they asked, how 109 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: do you feel about Dwayne Haskins? How can you make 110 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: him better? How can you build his team around here? 111 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: I want to know what type of coach, what profile 112 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: of coach, will thrive in that environment in Washington. What 113 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: type of coach can make that work there with minimal 114 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: input right probably in in front in personnel decisions and 115 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback kind of conundrum with a first round guy 116 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: coming in from the year before, you know, you know 117 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: who can make it there. In that type of environment, 118 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: you get yourself a defensive coach is what you do. 119 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: And Dongcus in all this drama away from the quarterback 120 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: on the offensive side, when you look at the roster 121 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: that they have, there are some pieces on the defensive 122 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: side of the ball. There are long ways to go 123 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. So let's be 124 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: good in one spot. Let's go get a defensive head coach. 125 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: Let's build up, you know, around the asset you have there, 126 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: and let's play great defense. But you guys, you want 127 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: to talk about you know, you watch a fireworks show. Buck, 128 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: you know you have the grand finale. This was the 129 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: way that it ended up for the Washington Redskins that 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: made this decision so easy. I was talking to read 131 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 1: about this a little bit earlier. But you have fifty 132 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: three snaps offensively, right, you give up six sacks, you 133 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: give up ten and a half tackles for loss, You 134 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: fumble the ball three times. So I'm not a math guy, 135 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: but that shore seems like on a lot of plays 136 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: you're either getting tackled for a loss, giving up a sack, 137 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: or or turning the ball over. Not to mention the 138 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: one interception. So four times you you you put the 139 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: ball on the ground. I mean, it's it's darn your head, 140 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: it's darn your half your snap. Something terrible is happening. 141 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that was a grand finale of a way 142 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: to go out. It is a grand finale, and I 143 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: felt like he let go of the rope at the 144 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: end of it. So, DJ is funny that you talked 145 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: about a defensive mind to hit coach. So some of 146 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: the names that are being thrown out for this job 147 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: have included Mike Tomlin and Todd Bowls. Todd Bowls makes 148 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: a lot of sense because Tyd Bowls spend time in Washington, 149 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: played for the Washington Briskins, a wonder Super Bowl teams. 150 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: He is uh well respected and well liked. And remember 151 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: Doug Williams when he became a head coach in college 152 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: at Morehouse, Todd Bowles was a defensive coordinator, so there 153 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: may be a link in and tie to that. So 154 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: you know where the defensive models worked. It has and 155 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: it does, like DJ is right, it does take some 156 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: of the pressure and the focus off of the quarterback 157 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: and it becomes more on all right, let's build this 158 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: team to play complimentary football. I believe like defensively, they 159 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: have enough pieces to be competitive. They have enough guys 160 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: that Dave invested in in the draft, enough resources where 161 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: they should be a solid to above average defense. Good defense, 162 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: find a way to run to football. You can at 163 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: least make games close and competitive, and you'll win some 164 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: of them and figure out the trend Williams steel, because 165 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: I can't just be continuing to hang out there. You've 166 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: got an asset. If he don't, he doesn't want to 167 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: show up there at some point, the sell off your asset, 168 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: get yourself some picks. Uh, this is just stubbornness. And 169 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean to me that had it makes no sense 170 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: to me whatsoever on that whole thing. We gotta get 171 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: from the rest of the takeaways. We can do a 172 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: whole hour show on the washing Redskins and his function. Uh, 173 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: but I'll start us off. I always give you a 174 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: takeaway from the game. I was at doing these Charger games, 175 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: and that was the Denver Broncos getting their first win. 176 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: And the big takeaway from me was just a dominant 177 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: defensive performance by the Broncos. Takes the snap looking right 178 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: the middle of the end zone, intercepted, intercepted in the 179 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: end zone by Alexander Johnson. The one thing you couldn't 180 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: have happened. I don't know if Rivers saw he was 181 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: never song was locked in on Mike Williams did not 182 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: see the underneath the fender in the middle of the field. Yeah, 183 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, down there in tight quarters. 184 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: You can't be late with the ball. It's crowded in there. Um, 185 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: it's a that was a you know, something you don't 186 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: see from a veteran quarterback very often. Philip rivers um, 187 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: that was a big air in that ball game. Also, 188 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: you look at the going forth fourth and one at 189 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: the goal line before the first half. Um, the Denver 190 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: Broncos get a stop. So you know, you can choose 191 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: to look at it and say, man, the Charges were 192 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: sure in uh in that on offense, But I give 193 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: the Broncos credit those two big plays down there on 194 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: the goal line, and then the rest of the day 195 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: really gave up nothing. I mean the Charges did not 196 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: have an offensive touchdown time. Uh yeah, nothing. So you've 197 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: got a part return from Desmond King. So this defense 198 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: for an owen four Broncos team who trust me and 199 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: studying them all week long, is much better than that 200 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: record could easily been sitting there at five hundred and 201 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: that defense was dominant and buck when you look at 202 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, Philip lindsay, they ran 203 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: the heck out of it. So when you're backs against 204 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: the wall and you gotta have it, it's amazing how 205 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: some things you can go back in time defense run 206 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: game and there you go get your first win. Yeah, 207 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: that's always a recipe to be successfulhen we knew that 208 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio would be able to get his team to 209 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: finally buy into that, and so it worked out. I'm 210 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: more troubled when I look at the charges. When I 211 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: look at the statute, forty a pass attempts for Philip 212 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: Rivers to me is too many. Um, they have to 213 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: balance it up and understand that. Look, this is a 214 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: team that is driven by the quarterback, but I just 215 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: think they cannot get out of whack when it comes 216 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: to the run pass relationship. They gotta make sure that 217 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: they're a little more balanced. You now have Melvin Gordon back. 218 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Melvin Gordon is ready to be 219 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: an All Star or a Pro Bowl player, but he 220 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: has to get more touches. They gat a lean a 221 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: little more on their running game. Take some of the 222 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: pressure of Philip Rivers. Despite his greatness and excellence as 223 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: a player throughout his career. How often do you say 224 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: a team with twelve penalties for two yards wins the 225 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: game on Yeah, I mean question, and they were costly penalties. 226 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean if not for some of those penalties that 227 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: charges don't really move the ball. I mean that the 228 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: one penalty passing inference penalties was a huge play in 229 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: that in their drive. So they they they just were 230 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: dominant up front. And look they've when you've got von Miller, 231 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: you know who made a huge difference. Uh, watching them 232 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: without Kareem Jackson and watching that defense with Kareem Jackson, 233 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: he had eight tackles at half and he Buck, he 234 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: was flat footed, reading and from the safety position, and 235 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: these were not these were not catch tackles that you know, 236 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 1: six yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Down he was 237 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. It was it was like, whoa, Okay, 238 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: that's that's a little different. Now that's a he's a 239 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: big time dude. Uh he wasn't that game coming from 240 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: the safety position. Yeah, interesting, very interesting. So I I 241 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: have the next one. I keep it's going here, Buck, 242 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: the squeaky will gets the grease. This is third and 243 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: four Cousins out of the shotgun back to pass pats 244 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: it for Cousins feeling it's a nine zero lead. Minnesota. 245 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: You know, DJ Read, you guys may know, like I'm 246 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: a huge John Wooden fan and John wouldn't used to 247 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: have a roof for his o U c l A teams. 248 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: No whining, no crying, no excuses. That doesn't work. That 249 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: doesn't work. I think the Minnesota Vikers have shown that Nope, 250 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: you need to wine, you need to cry, you need 251 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: to make excuses, and if you do those things, you 252 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: can get what you want. Adam Feeling made a little 253 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: bit of a deal about not getting enough opportunities after 254 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: last week's game, and low and behole seven catches a 255 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: hundred thirty yards, two touchdowns, He has a quarterback apologizing 256 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: to him, and the run up to the game, and finally, 257 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: this Minnesota passing game, which has a lot of resources 258 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: and money tied into it, kind of looked apart. And 259 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: so I'm not saying that's what motivated and got Kirk 260 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: Cousins going, but I do believe there was a concerted 261 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: effort to diversify their offense a little bit. You saw 262 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: Adam Feeling played like a pro bowler. You saw Kirk 263 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: Cousins get back on track and play like the big 264 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: money acquisition that they got, and then you saw more 265 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: room for Dalvin Cook. This is how the Minnesota Vikings 266 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: want to play. It just took a little urging. Yeah, 267 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: there's no there's nothing to say that you can't have both, right, 268 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: you can't have you know, an effective run game. You 269 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: got you have. You can have your cake and eat it. 270 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: When I watched the tape, you guys, I saw um, 271 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: I saw that offense that we anticipated seeing, which was 272 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook on a lot of that outside zone um 273 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: really cranking it up, getting Dalvin Cook involved in the 274 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: screen game. And then all of a sudden, what do 275 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, the boot the boot action. This offense is 276 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: known for the stretch play action, those crossing routes. Uh 277 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: you know Adam Delands wide open. I mean it was. 278 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: It was nicely done, and that's that's what we anticipated seeing. 279 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: And I will also says Garrett Bradberry, who struggled a 280 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: little bit there. Ricky Center had a really good game 281 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: against the Giants, and I was able to execute some 282 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: of those reach blocks we saw him do at NC 283 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: State and just overall held up better. So UM encouraging 284 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: sign this defense. There are no questions about this Vikings defense. 285 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: We know what they can do. Uh. So this offense 286 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: and maybe it takes a little while it's gonna be 287 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: an up and down, you know situation with them. But 288 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: if they can just get into the tournament, and this 289 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: is an offense, in my opinion, while it might not 290 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: be consistent week to week, guys, this thing could get 291 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: cranked up for three or four weeks in the postseason 292 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: and they have the capability of winning the whole thing 293 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: because their defense is that good. No now keeping in 294 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: mind here, the Giants defense is not going to set 295 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: any records this year. We unless it's on the the 296 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking about them. I'm just saying when you when 297 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: you look at when you look at the defense and 298 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: personnel that they have, and you look at the let's 299 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: and we talked about in the postseason for offense, steady 300 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: Eddie is great for a sixteen game season. When you 301 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: get in the postseason, it's a out your ceiling, how high? 302 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: How high of the level can you play? That's Joe 303 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: Flacco rule, right, Joe Flacco over sixteen games, and but 304 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: he can get hot for three or four weeks, he 305 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: can win the whole dank thing. When I look at 306 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: this Minnesota offense, they have the pieces in the upside 307 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: to play at a high level. I don't anticipate they're 308 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: gonna do it a weekend and week out. But I'm 309 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: telling you this is it's it's a scary team if 310 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: they get into the postseason, that's all I'm saying, no question, 311 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: and just have to get these type of performances against 312 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: teams that are also playoff caliber, which we've yet to 313 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: see since Pert Cousins has joined the Vikings. That will 314 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: be a big piece of it. All Right, I'll get 315 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: us to our next takeaway here, guys. It was an 316 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: absolutely Texas sized offensive performance by the Texans in Houston. 317 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: Deshan gets the snap, Love getting left, Watson dancing, and 318 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Watson throwing to a field and he's got Fuller across 319 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: the ten, tip five rock and roll touchdown to well 320 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: Fuller and that seals the deal. Man. I wish I 321 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: could have heard Mark vandermir for the entire game, because 322 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: he had to have some deep ball calls. Owed it 323 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: up going into this one, because I mean, they absolutely 324 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: destroyed a devastatingly bad Atlanta defense and it's getting worse, 325 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, the last three weeks 326 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, are they have they hit rock 327 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: bottom yet? But look, let's I'll get to that. That's 328 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: a whole different story. They're led by Will Fullers two 329 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: and seventeen receiving yards. Um, look a guy I was 330 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: telling you all week on NFL Fantasy Live. Start Will Fuller, 331 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: Start Will Fuller. Uh and and he took advantage. So 332 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: they're ten for thirteen on third down. That certainly helps 333 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: the fact that Deshaun Watson was only pressured twice on 334 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: his thirty three dropbacks. Now we know that this this 335 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: team can give up some pressure even though they've been better, 336 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: uh this year in that regard, I mean the fact 337 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: that Atlanta couldn't get to them and then couldn't you know, 338 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: if they're devoting all those resources as you're gonna see 339 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: on the aftermath later today, Uh, to stopping, you know, 340 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: to coverage. You gotta be able to defend two or 341 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: three guys out there running routes and and it just 342 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: look and I'm not trying to make it a hot take, 343 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: but because it's not in fact that Deshaun Watson this 344 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: year and then in the future, I'm not sure there's 345 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean, I take ho take ho take quarterback. 346 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: I take other than Deshaun Watson right now. And look, man, 347 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: when I was watching the game and I'm just thinking, 348 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it kind of reminded me of being I mean, 349 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm a little old to be in the club, but 350 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: like it reminded me of just hearing this song. Shot 351 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: shot shot, shot, shot, shot shot. Everybody just shot left 352 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: and right. Is he's just taking shots down the field 353 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: And you're right. We've talked about it DJ the last 354 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: two years. Will Full is the biggest X factor on 355 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: this offense. His presence on the outside allows them to 356 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: stretch to feel vertically, creates openings and opportunities for everyone Horizontally. 357 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: He is a key factor. And if the Texas are 358 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: able to play like this where they really pushed the 359 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: ball down the fielding, Deshaun Watson is taking advantage of 360 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: those scenes and those holes. Man, it is something to watch. 361 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the offense that I would pay 362 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: to sea. But I just don't know if Bill O'Brien 363 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: can do this each and every week, which is why 364 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: it does feel like Deshaun Wasson could be in that 365 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: conversation for bat Mahomes. I just don't know if he 366 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: has to support Yeah, and the way that Carlos Hyde 367 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: has been running the ball too, has been encouraging this year, 368 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: and that they've been committed to it. Even in a 369 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: game where they were succeeding in the past game so much, 370 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: we still saw there was there was room on the 371 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: ground for Carlos hide. Um and I think we know 372 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: that this defense has in Houston has a capability of 373 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: being a really good one in the a f C. 374 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: This is an absolute playoff contender, super Bowl contender in Houston. 375 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: Oh Man, Ri Ri. I worry a little bit still 376 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: about the Houston Texans secondary. That was the only thing 377 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of keeping me from just gets rolling. All right, 378 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: there you go. Um buck Reett mentioned it there for 379 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: a second when I watched this. They have a touchdown. 380 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: Think about this. They've got an eight man protection, so 381 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna take a shot, right, you trying it now? 382 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: Now you all plays, you call plays what you do 383 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: now on high school. So when you're trying to anticipate 384 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. If you're gonna take a shot 385 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: and you're gonna go max protection, you're hoping you're gonna 386 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 1: get pressure. Right, You're gonna get pressure. We're gonna be 387 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: one on one protection. Let that develop. We'll go take 388 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: a shot. Now, think about this, you dial it up 389 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: max protection. You've got eight men in protection, and then 390 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: you see um them rush three, they drop eight, and 391 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: you've got to be sitting out the sideline on this one. 392 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: You've got checked, you've got you've your, If it's your, 393 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: you've got no shot except it's a long touchdown. I 394 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: mean that. I've never seen eight men drop and spread 395 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: out all over the entire field and get carved up 396 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: with two dudes out there running around, which is exactly 397 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: what happened in this game. It was awful. It was 398 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: a combination of communication, it was a combination of of 399 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: just lack of athleticism and and then it was also, um, 400 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: I would say this, the effort didn't look rate there 401 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: from the Atlanta Falcons, and that's as bad as you 402 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: can get defensively, and they got cards possible. So now 403 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: we have to take a look at that. Like so 404 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: there's been some conversation about dan Quinn possibly being on 405 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: the hot seat. Um, whenever you're the head coach and 406 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: you decided to take over one side of the ball, 407 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: you decided to become the play the play, call it 408 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: it pushed you under a lot of scrutiny, and I'm 409 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: gonna say this personally, I believe the previous guy, Mark 410 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: Ua Manuel did a solid job for them as a 411 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. But now that dan Quinn is taking it over, 412 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: this defense looks nothing like it used to. And I 413 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: know there's been and you see it each week when 414 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: you watch the Charges. There has been a bit of 415 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: a catching up to the old Seattle Seahawks covered three, 416 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: single high safety defense, So you do have to keep evolving. 417 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: What I'm seeing from Atlanta is troubling because the premise 418 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: of the defense was to not allow the big play, 419 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: and we're seeing the Falcons give up big play after 420 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: big play after big play on a weekly basis, and 421 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: no doubt, uh it's but look, you choose to look 422 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: at it either way, right, we can we can kind 423 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: of kill the Falcons, or you can get fired up. 424 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: As Red is predicting this camps, they're going to give 425 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: really really really fired up that sister may or may 426 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: not work for me, may or may not. All right, 427 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: next one here, let's keep it rolling here. We don't 428 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: have to spend much time on this one. It's gonna 429 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: be pretty self explanatory. The Philadelphi Eagles, they have a 430 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: pass rush all of a sudden, little fun chick talk 431 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: and tell Tim with the chicken chick today, Brandon Trail, Well, 432 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: look nice, nice batting practice game. You've got some struggles 433 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: there with your pass rush. Get somebody out there throwing 434 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: sixty five right down the plate, which is what happened 435 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: with the Jets. And if you're a Jets fan and 436 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: you're wondering who gave up these pressure as well, I 437 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: wasted five minutes of my life this morning watched all 438 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: these sacks so I could tell you the answer. Tarry 439 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: So Winners gave up one Humadoga and his first start 440 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: he gave up to Khalil It's center gave up one. 441 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: Beat them at tackle, gave up to although one of them, Uh, 442 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: you had the back chip the guy right off of him, 443 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: which I'm sure he really appreciated that. West Co gave 444 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: up one. And then I would put three of them 445 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. So there you go. That's five minutes 446 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: of my life I can't get back. But that's a 447 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: Eagle's pass rush that needed a little bit of juice 448 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: and they got it done. Look, they did get it done, 449 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: I think, And I saw you a tweet about the 450 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: New York Jets because I think we do need to 451 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: talk about the Jets. Uh. Sam Donald shouldn't feel any 452 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: pressure when he returns because the New York Jests have 453 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: shown them exactly the other than the guys that are 454 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: pressuring him. Yeah, like like they've shown exactly who they 455 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: are without him. He comes back, and if they look 456 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: any terrible, I mean, if they look different at all, 457 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: it's created to him because right now, this is a 458 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: team that doesn't have a lot of explosive players. They 459 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: don't have I mean the kind of weaponry that you 460 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: need to compete in the NFL, Like, yeah, you have, 461 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: you have lived. I mean, it's just it's troubling. And 462 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: Adam Gays, I mean, look, man, Joe d has to 463 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: kind of ain't tight for a little bit. But it'd 464 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: be interesting to see the dynamics between these two because 465 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: Adam Gates, and my estimation, is the king of average 466 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: and I've never seen him really elevate anybody. I'm waiting 467 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: to see him elevating offense, elevator quarterback, help them be 468 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: something that they cannot be without someone else's tutelage We'll 469 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: see how it goes. Boys, Um can I can I 470 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: bring this to the spiritual realm? Please? For Joe Douglas 471 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: for the off season. He needs to have a Noah's 472 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: Ark offseason. He's got to go find two tackles, two corners, 473 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: path rush, try them out of the yark. You need 474 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: to try them all onto the yark there with the Jets. 475 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Flood is already there. So um it's they are already crowned. 476 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: Time to get on his as al right, Buck, you 477 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: want to take us to London. John Gruden is pushing 478 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: all the right buttons. It's a power Look from the 479 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: two under center. Here comes Jacobs. Chop starts over the top. Touchdown, 480 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: touchdown raids man. Look who's laughing now? The Oakland Raiders 481 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: are sitting at three and two after finally navigating their 482 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: way through the A B drama. The Oakland Raiders are 483 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: beginning to look like a respectable team. This is not 484 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: the result that I expected when they were taking on 485 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. But John Gruten is really good when 486 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: he understands how you're going to attack them and the 487 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: running game and the balance of offense. Josh Jacobs is 488 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: exactly what he wants. He's a physical running back that 489 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: can catch the ball out the backfield. He gave it 490 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: to him twenty six times, hundred twenty three yards, two touchdowns. 491 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: He is now the bell count of the offense. They 492 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: can hang their whack hits, their wagon to him, and 493 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: then they're running a complimentary passing game with Derek Carr 494 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: off of that. Look. Man, it doesn't always look pretty, 495 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: but the Raiders are kind of moving towards being a 496 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: very respectable team in the John grew neera. Do you 497 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: think he enjoyed that one? Oh? I think he loved. 498 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: Do you think grew love? I mean he said he's 499 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: fifty six years old. He said, he's fifty six years old, 500 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: and I never had more fun in my life than today. 501 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: It sounds like he had. Yeah, they won the Mac trade. Right. Well, 502 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: well here's here's here's what I want to say about 503 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: that trade, because obviously everybody's gonna say, you don't trade 504 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: clear Mac, and that was a mistake. I think all 505 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: three of us would agree that was a mistake. Now, 506 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: But the one area that people don't look at is 507 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: they go, okay, Mac, and they compare Mac with the picks. 508 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,959 Speaker 1: But now I think there was creative way if they 509 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: had to cash, there's a creative way where they could 510 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: have fit all this under one tent. But you can't 511 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: argue the fact that by not paying Mac with that money, 512 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,239 Speaker 1: they wouldn't pay Trent Brown, who has played not not 513 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: you know in the discussion is the best No, no no, 514 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: he is the best right tackle in the NFL right 515 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: the way he is playing, and I don't know there's 516 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: necessarily close. He is dominating in the run game, He's 517 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: reliable and past protection, he's a difference maker up front. 518 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: So I just think that gets kind of lost in 519 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: the equation of the balance sheet of well Mac and 520 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: the picks. Well, it was also the money, the money 521 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: you didn't pay Mac, they used that money to pay 522 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: Trent Brown. Now, I think there's probably a creative way 523 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: where you could figured out how a way to get both, 524 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: But that was a bonus for them to be able 525 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: to use that money there. And I think right now 526 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: with this offensive line, Richie incognito, do I want him 527 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: to uh want to hang out with Richie kick incognito? 528 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: Want I want them to watch my you know, kids 529 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: or babysitting? No, um, not? You know, that's a that's 530 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: another story altogether. He was dominant in this game as 531 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: a run blocker working against the Bears. They're gonna get 532 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson back. Rodney Hudson's the top five center in 533 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. Colt Miller is playing better at left tackle. Guys, 534 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: I think this is one of This is gonna be 535 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: one of the best five offensive lines in the NFL. 536 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: And that is a good place to build a foundation 537 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: for your football team. It's a great foundation. And if 538 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: you know anything about John Gruden, what he wants to 539 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: do is play old school football. He wants to take 540 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: it back to the nineteen eighties. You talked about Trent 541 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: Brown being able to dominate Gabe Jackson returning. They're being 542 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: able to run the football and impose their will their 543 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: will own opponents. Make no mistake, this is a team 544 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: that wants to kind of bring everyone into phone booth 545 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: and beat him up so they they can set a 546 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: big play opportunities for Derek Carr. Right now. The plan 547 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: is is I mean, it's it's right on schedule for 548 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: what John Bruten wants. I didn't know that Josh Jacobs 549 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: will be able to handle all of the responsibility of 550 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: being to bill Gal, but he's certainly handled it outstanding fashion. 551 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: And they did this without two of their better players 552 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: on defense. Cleveland Farrell was out of this game, and 553 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: then we you know, Abram hadn't played since week one 554 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: when he got hurt. We two, So obviously Vante's perfect 555 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: was Yeah, exactly right, that whole situation. Tyrone Williams, their 556 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: best receiver didn't play. We mentioned Gave Jackson didn't play. 557 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: Impressed like that. A full squad there over in London, 558 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: and I think they've benefited from spending the whole week there, 559 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: which is something to think about moving forward for these 560 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: for these listening games, no question, Okay, I think am 561 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I up next here? Just get into this. Yeah, let's 562 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: do it, guys. I think I found the coach of 563 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: the year, Sean Payton. Three by two to the near side. 564 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: Bridgewater takes a gun snap quick throw called Mike Thomas 565 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: at the five fun tackle quarts into the end zone. 566 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: Mark Thomas touchdown. So this has been pretty impressive what 567 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: Sean Payton has done. And I'll be the first to 568 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: stay that I was very skeptical about Teddy Bridgewater's ability 569 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: for success in this offense based on what we've seen 570 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: from him in the preseason and going back to the 571 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: start he had at the end of last season, the 572 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: accuracy was not great, especially when you get more than 573 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: five ten yards down the field, and we didn't see 574 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: that at all in his first two starts. His air 575 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: yards per attempt in the first two starts were dead 576 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: last among all qualified quarterbacks. But maybe that's just a 577 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: part of the game plan here for Sean Payton, who 578 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: is a game plan whiz. He's a play calling whiz 579 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: and has showed us that, especially in these last three 580 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: weeks where yeah, they utilized you know, Teddy bridgewater strengths 581 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: in the first two games allowed him to become a 582 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: little bit more comfortable. And then we see in Teddy's 583 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: third start at home here against the Bucks, same saw 584 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: the Saints offense. And so I'll tell you Dgewater becomes 585 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: just the second Saints quarterback since the merger to throw 586 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: for three d plush yards and four plus tds in 587 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: a single game. The the only other quarterback to do 588 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: that is Drew Brees, and he's done it twenty nine times. 589 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: That's what I mean by this looking like the Saints 590 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: offense that we are used to seeing. Michael Thomas in 591 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: that twelve to sixteen yard range, and look certainly helps 592 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: DJ that Mike Thomas is an absolute stud. Uh and 593 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: I mean as physical wide out as we see in 594 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: this game right now. Um, But that to me shows 595 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: you just how valuable Sean Payton is to your franchise, 596 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: that he can put everyone in a position to succeed 597 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: and accentuate their strengths that way. Yeah, I think that's 598 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: what great coaches do. Great coaches adapt to the personnel 599 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: that's available to them. Great office of coaches in particular, 600 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: do a great job of kind of getting on the 601 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: same page with the quarterback, making sure that he is 602 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: comfortable and ready to go. And what we saw third start, 603 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: Titty Bridgewater started play like the Titty Bridgewater that we 604 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: used to watch in Louisville. Had a play you last 605 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: then I get it out. They built it around Michael Thomas. 606 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: They gave him plenty of touches and so, uh, this 607 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: is one where if you're a new Onelean Saints fan, 608 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: you should be encouraged, not only because you know Drew 609 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: Brees coming back, but because the backup quarterbacks you have 610 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: can't play like a started in a Pens if you 611 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: need him. I want to ask Bucky this because your 612 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: track background book. Um, you know, when watching this Saints 613 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: offense for a couple of weeks, it felt like when 614 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: you watch a sprinter um who's kind of in the 615 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: preliminary rounds of at a track meet, and it's like, Okay, 616 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: I just gotta keep moving on to the next round. 617 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of easy easing around, you know, 618 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: getting that nice little lead then just kind of easy. 619 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: It's just all just I don't need to spend it. 620 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: I'll just move on to the next round. Just get 621 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: me to the next round. And then it felt like 622 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: this last week was like okay, now it's time to 623 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: the final, and the Teddy Bridgewater kind of opened it 624 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: up and it was it was you know, I I 625 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: do believe in the whole getting in the zone thing. 626 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: I think you see it in basketball all the time. 627 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: You see what you know, Curries Notorious that gets in 628 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: a rhythm and his zone and it's like it's lights out. 629 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: I think you get in the zone. Not only is 630 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I think get in the zone as a 631 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: play caller. And I think I think Sean Payton really 632 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: started to get a feel for this team buck. They 633 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: were playing you watch the tape a lot of Cover 634 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: two and then like quarter quarter half and they were 635 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: just wearing out that cover two side. That the big 636 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: home run ball. Uh down the seam to Bridgewater where 637 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: they've got the trailer ends up running the seam and 638 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: you've got the corner oute. So the safety, the safety 639 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: is ye again because the safety is in a complete 640 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: buy in the middle linebacker it's Tampa two. He doesn't 641 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: get enough depth. He's not gonna get enough depth to 642 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: get back there. We take in. Um, So that's one 643 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: home run and then it was like smash. They're just 644 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: running smash like it was just like taking candy from 645 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: a baby out there, the way they were attacking that 646 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: cover two side. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's really 647 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: just remarkable the way that they were able to put 648 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: it together. This is a very very impressive overall performance. 649 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: Uh that's the point. If I'm Sean Paytman, I'm very 650 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: pleased with the way the offense is. Put that one 651 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: on the resume tape. Uh, let me keep it going here. Yeah, 652 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: Packers ground game wins the day in Dallas. Aaron Rodgers 653 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: Ducks in under center Jones alone setback. He scores three 654 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: times today and here's the hand off Jones touchstone. Yeah, 655 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: they got after him. And it was interesting watching all 656 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: the runs there for Aaron Jones. Man. There were so 657 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: many times um where the unblocked defender was late and Vanderesh, 658 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: who's one of the best young linebackers the NFL, one 659 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: of the best linebackers period in the NFL, he had 660 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: a bad day. Um, Aaron Jones was able to make 661 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: him miss. Um. They were able to move him with 662 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: some of their motions and misdirection things got him a 663 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: little bit out of position, but he was oftentimes the 664 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: unblocked defender and even in the past game they're able 665 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: to get him out in space a little bit. Aaron 666 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: Jones made a miss. But this was this was the 667 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: kind of the reverse of what we saw with the 668 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: Packers were uh the previous week, we saw the Philadelphia 669 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: Eagles kind of just jam it down their throats and 670 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: here they go on the road. They packed their run 671 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: game as well. Look, run game always travels offens. While 672 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: I played run game travels, quarterback travels. And if you 673 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: have a defense like the Packers are showing, you have 674 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: an opportunity. And I think the big thing did happen 675 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: for me early in the game to Green Bay Packers 676 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: offense gotten rhythm, so they were able to jump out 677 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: ahead of people and make them kind of abandon some 678 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: of their balanced approach tactics when they were trying to 679 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: chase points. And so if the Green Bay Packers can 680 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: kind of bottle this recipe up and put it in 681 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: the formula and keep it on the shelf and remember 682 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: balance enough Aaron Rodgers has to touch it enough on 683 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 1: the ground just balance out the offense, they can go 684 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: very very far to season. I mean we we're gonna 685 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: talk about in the aftermath. I mean this this might 686 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: be the best team that Aaron Rodgers has had, whether 687 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: it's run game combined with defense. And for them to 688 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, get that opportunity, you know, for for Aaron 689 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: this year to have that, you know, I'm excited, you know, 690 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: to see where it takes them, because we know that 691 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: if you decide eventually you have to put it on 692 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: his shoulders. You know, you still got that in your 693 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: back pocket. Yet. Nice to have different ways to win games, man, 694 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: not not just having one formula, have a different formul 695 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: and I think They have some four different formulas this 696 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: year with this team. One team did his serial, One 697 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: team does discovered from there are my Buffalo Bills. Don't 698 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: sleep on the Bills third and three from the Tennessee seven. 699 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: Or in the backfield with Josh Allen a snap and 700 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: Alan fakes the handout fire attend to the DFL touchdown 701 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: Duke Williams touchdown Buffalo Duke Quilliams a seven yard touchdown 702 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: catch his first NFL touchdown, and it could not have 703 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: come at a better time. Look, Man Bill's mafia is 704 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: standing up. They're excited. They're sitting at four and one, 705 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: and look, I want to tip my head Sean McDermott 706 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: what he's been able to do, Like he has really 707 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: got them to buy into the fact of we are 708 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: a complimentary football team, meaning offense must compliment our defense, 709 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: which compliments our special teams for us to eat to 710 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: get a win. And it is working. They're taking care 711 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: of the football. They're doing a great job on defense. 712 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a team that is really 713 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: suffocating the life out of these aerial attacks. And then 714 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: on special teams they are flipping the field and getting 715 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: enough field position to set up Josh Allen for scoring opportunities. Look, 716 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: they're margin for air is thin, but when they played 717 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: it right, they played the right way, they win a 718 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: lot of games. The Buffalo Bills are right on track. 719 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: By the way, and I'm gonna double check this here 720 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: in a second, but I believe the only points that 721 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: Titan scored in this game were off a Josh Allen interception. 722 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: So I mean, if you really start eliminating those turnovers, 723 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: that defense has your back, right, I mean, I mean 724 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: outside of an extra possession, they they've done. They've done 725 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: everything that you can ask the defense do. They've created takeaways, 726 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: they've haven't given up the big play. They've been able 727 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: to do it without putting themselves at risk. By blessing, 728 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: they are a team that is rock solid in coverage 729 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: and they just find a way to get gas home. 730 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: You gotta give him credit. Think about this, buck, how 731 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: many times can you say this? I know Tom Brady 732 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: can say it this year, but how many times? As 733 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you gotta feel good when you can look down. 734 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is look down at the number 735 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: on your jersey and know, if I can match that number, 736 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: we're going to win. They haven't lost the game where 737 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: they've scored seventeen points this year. That's the number. That's 738 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: it confirmed. They've given up the most points they've given 739 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: up is seventeen. That's it. You have given up more 740 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: seventeen points in any game this season. So, uh, that's 741 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: a nice luxury to have as an offense and as 742 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback, no doubt. Yeah, and so that was confirmed. 743 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: The only touchdown the Titans score was off a Josh 744 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: Allen interception where the Titans then got the ball on 745 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: the buffalo thirty eight. Right, So that means like, that's 746 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: that's that's impressive. They also missed four field goals and 747 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: they've overcome a lot. There's the Titans missed four field goals. Yeah, 748 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean that's a problem. That is a problem. Different problem. 749 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the let's get to the 750 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: big song. Yeah, um, I won't, I won't sing it. 751 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: I won't sing it. Although buck, if you want to 752 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: feel free, oh yeah, physical? Oh yeah, man, Like that's 753 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: that's I need to put on my leg warmers and 754 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: from my leg warmers and take it back. Since we've 755 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: taken every pants on for the seventies and eighties, why 756 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: not roll it, Nebile homes don her center, hands off 757 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 1: the damnit it. All hears decked up, but all got it, sir, 758 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: just in Houston. The whole coming up starts again for 759 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: the big fella for the call night sitting there. It 760 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: gets a tackle for a loss on fourth down and 761 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: the Colts takeover and plus territory inside the chief thirty 762 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: five yard line. Yeah. Look, I think so much attention 763 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: is going to go on the Colts run game and 764 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: the way their offensive line kind of dominated with all 765 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: those first rounders, and that's kind of the h That 766 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: was a big story line, hundred eighty rushing yards. But 767 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: to me, when you look at the other side, it 768 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: was even more impressive. The Chief's only rushed for thirty 769 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: six yards. Uh, that's one thing. But Pat Mahomes, I 770 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: thought that did a nice job after that early drive. 771 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: I thought that a nice job of containing this pass game. 772 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: They were able to batter him a little bit. Obviously, 773 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: that offensive line is not healthy. But Buck I was 774 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: talking to read about this little earlier. Um I thought 775 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: it was interesting the game plan when you look at 776 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: coverage and went back and charted it. So if you 777 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: look at the first quarter, so the first quarter on 778 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: this are all dropbacks, right, So the Colts were in 779 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: man on nine plays, they were in zone on eight plays. 780 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: Soft right mix. In the second quarter, the Colts played 781 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: man on fifteen of the eighteen past dropbacks, so almost 782 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: exclusively in man. Then you go to the third quarter, Okay, 783 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: you go to halftime. We see a lot of man 784 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: there in the second quarter. Uh, coming at halftime. They 785 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: only had to defend five dropbacks in the third quarter 786 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: because their offense held the ball, but it was three 787 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: times they were in man coverage, two times they were 788 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: in zone. So again kind of that fifty get to 789 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, nine times in man, one rep in zone. 790 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: So in the first and third quarters twelve to ten, 791 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: man zone, in the second and fourth quarters twenty four 792 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: to four. So it was like really kind of playing 793 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: two different defenses just every quarter. You just kind of 794 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: alternate what you're doing. And um, I thought it was 795 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: it was really a brilliant job. And when they were 796 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: a man it was pretty suffocating. Look, here's the thing, 797 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: and here's here's what Matt Refluence believes in and is 798 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 1: what a lot of Tampa two proponents believe in. They 799 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: want to play man to man or cover three on 800 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: early downs to stop the run so then they can 801 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: back you up and play Tampa two. Play zone coverage. 802 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: The issue with playing zone against Kansas City Chiefs they 803 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: are so explosive to have so many players, they just 804 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: run through your zones. Your athletes aren't good enough to 805 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: kind of master them in space. When you when you 806 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: face a kN City Chiefs team that doesn't have Tyreek 807 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: Hill and then Sammy Watkins goes out, you now have 808 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: all the confidence that you can match up and lock 809 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: them up because by playing man, what you do is 810 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: you take away the layups, you take away to r 811 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: p os, you take away to gimme throws that are 812 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: available in the offense. And so hass off to the 813 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: Colts for doing that, But this is not a game 814 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: plan that they were the only ones to use. The 815 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: Patriots use it, the Detroit Lions used it, and the 816 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: kN City Chiefs are gonna continue to see heavy man 817 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: to man until they run people out of that man coverage. 818 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: And I think you guys hit the nail on the 819 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: head here. I mean obviously punishing run game by the Colts. 820 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: I mean I was soul crushing at the end of 821 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: the game. Just to watch them push the pile for 822 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 1: three yards. I mean it was like you just knew 823 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: they were gonna get a first down every time when 824 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: they had that opportunity. So the things, I'll say, the 825 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: terrific game plan, and they did it without they executed 826 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: the game plan. The Colts did out their best defensive players. 827 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: Darius Leonard has still been out, Malie Cooker Clayton Gathers 828 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: both out, and then they lose Kmoco Terrey, who's been 829 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: having a pretty good season. Was nasty. Yeah, broken ankle. 830 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: He's done for the year. That's unfortunate because it's been 831 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: a it's been a nice year for him. So look, 832 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: I thought that was really impressive. Um. And then how 833 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: much does a mobile, fully healthy Patrick Mahomes make a 834 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: difference in the second half. I mean he makes it 835 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of a difference because of the second 836 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: reaction plays, but man, his guys are having a tough 837 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,479 Speaker 1: time getting open Byron Pringle. Yeah, and then out there 838 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: they put it on tape. When you when you put 839 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: it out on tape, you'll see more teams that copy it. 840 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: The issue that you really have, it's kind of fools 841 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: goal because if you played this much man to man 842 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,919 Speaker 1: against Tyreek Hiell and Sammy Watkins. At some point they're 843 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna get you. I don't know if you can lock 844 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: up and play them in man demand the entire game. 845 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,959 Speaker 1: I think you have to pick and choose your spots 846 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: when you can play some man Quincy Wilson did a 847 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: nice job on Yeah, he did know. They did a 848 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: good job, and there was a lot of it was 849 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: a lot of man free um. But to me, like, 850 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to run the 851 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: the best defense you can run to slow down any 852 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: passing attack really is too man right, So you can 853 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,919 Speaker 1: playing man. You still have guys over the top. That's 854 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: what If you think back to those forty defenses that 855 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 1: were so good that went to the Super Bowl under Harball, 856 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: that with Justin Smith and that and that crew up front, 857 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: they could dominate and stop the run without any safety 858 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: help so they could park those two safeties in the 859 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: parking lot. You could play man and that that's that's 860 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: diffic And I just think if I'm if I'm playing 861 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I'm gonna Darry Andy Reid. I'm gonna say, hey, 862 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: you want to run the ball, you can you can 863 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: run it. Um, but we're gonna willing to bet that 864 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: you don't want to do that, so, um, it'll be 865 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: interesting to see how teams defend them once all those 866 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 1: big dogs come back. Because you're right just playing man 867 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: free with Tyreek Hill running around out there, with Sammy 868 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: Watkins to run around out there, Um, you got a 869 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: little more to worry about. So it's I would take 870 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: this last one. You go. We can go down to Carolina, 871 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: which was looking for it was it was a great 872 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: Dave Ring of Honor, Hall of our. Ot T Smith 873 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 1: was into the Panthers Hall of Honor. But look, he 874 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: had a chance to see that Christian McCaffrey is special. 875 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: First and ten Panthers backed up, deep hand off up 876 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: the middle. McCaffrey running free, unbelievable, thirty forty across midfield. 877 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: Can someone drag him down? Twenty to the fifteen, the 878 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: ten to five McCaffrey takes head home. He was untouched 879 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: on that play, untouched, great play design, everything. Like look, man, 880 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: I've I've been kind of resisting the urge to say this, 881 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: but it is Christian McCaffrey the best running back in 882 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: football right now. I mean, I mean, like the way 883 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: that he's doing. I mean the way that he is 884 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: actually dominating the league. I mean everyone knows when you 885 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: walk into the building Caroline is playing, where their backup 886 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: quarterback Christian McCaffrey is going to touch the ball twenty 887 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: five times and they cannot stop him. Nineteen carries, a 888 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards, two touchdowns, six receptions sixty 889 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: one yards, one receiving touchdown. The guy leads the NFL 890 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: in rushing yards and scrimming yards. You know what this is. 891 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,800 Speaker 1: This is Christian McCaffrey at Stanford. Everybody knows that he's junior. 892 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: He didn't stop him. I mean, like this is him 893 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: when he should have won the Heisman Trophy that year, 894 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: like he Yeah, I mean he is dominating the game. 895 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,919 Speaker 1: And look I thought he was gonna he is outstanding. 896 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: They kept calling the same play. Now, I know we 897 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: saved that a lot when we're watching like, oh, that 898 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: looks like the same play. No, Greg Olsen said it 899 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: was this. He had never heard the same play called 900 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: so many times in one game. Repeat what happened to 901 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: the Jags defense. You can't stop one play, You can't 902 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: make an adjustment and figure that it's times there was 903 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: times though there was there were times where they had 904 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: linebackers free in the hole and they didn't make su't 905 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: get the same thing. Man, His lateral quickness and agility 906 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. So I mean, and then you watch him 907 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: in the slot, you watch him split out wide, I'm like, yeah, 908 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: good luck. I mean, he's look, he's a he's a 909 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: special player. And we knew he was a special player, 910 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say he looks like he's even a 911 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: more explosive version of the player that we saw in 912 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: college as a sophomore, kind of dom ate the game. 913 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: His ability to make plays as a runner, as a receiver, 914 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: he is all over the place. I think what's interesting 915 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: about this because people have tried to make it about 916 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: the caw Alan thing. I think the interesting thing will 917 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: be when Cam Newton comes back. Can North Turner make 918 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 1: this offense go with Christian McCaffrey being the lead horse 919 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: and Cam Newton being the complimentary piece. Yeah, that would 920 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,439 Speaker 1: be thinking back to I think I think, I think, 921 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: I think I think they will go back. I think 922 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: they will go back with him. But I just think 923 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: it's interesting because, look, you talk about a dynamic weapon, 924 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: and I know Cam Newton. Maybe he can't do the 925 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: things that he used to be able to do when 926 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: he was running. But look, man, if I feel like 927 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: him is on a short run anyway, man, I'm gonna 928 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: run the heck out of him, and I'm gonna go 929 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: the whole thing with him and Christian McCaffrey, and I'm 930 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: going to terrorize defenses with the fact that I have 931 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: a two headed monster in the backfield where either one 932 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,879 Speaker 1: of those guys can run. If I told you guys 933 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: before the season started that they the play that's gonna 934 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: be fifth in the league and receiving yards after five 935 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 1: games was going to be a former L s U 936 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver who's playing with the energetic Yes, I'm gonna 937 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: go out of them and say, you would not have 938 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: guessed it to be DJ Shark, but he has been outstanding, man. 939 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: And that is again this comes back. Um, I want 940 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 1: to just go through this list here real quick, of 941 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: the top six this is in receiving yards right now, 942 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: and I want to and I'm gonna hit it at 943 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 1: the end with what I think. Um, we've talked about 944 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: this trait being underrated for quarterbacks. I'm beginning to think 945 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: it's very underrated for receivers. Michael Thomas, Marii Cooper, Chris Godwin, 946 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, d J Chark, Keenan Allen. All of those 947 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: guys are tough, physical wide receivers, and that to me 948 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: says something there and not just I mean they're they're 949 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 1: good route runners, got strong hands. These guys are physical 950 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: and tough and that in the next to beneath them, 951 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Board, Tyler Boyd and Courtland Sutton are other guys 952 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: who play a physical brand football man. So I don't know. 953 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,959 Speaker 1: I think there's there's a little something to that. DJ 954 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: Chark is explosive. I get that too, but he's tough 955 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: and physical as well. Man. He was a great special 956 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: teams player at L s U. All those guys get open. 957 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: You know there's something to it, Like, look, it's a 958 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: tough man's game, and you have to have toughness, uh, DJ, 959 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: You know you spend time in Two Organs. You talk 960 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: about the Baltimore Ravens and how they pride themselves and 961 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 1: kind of being the bullies on the block. You have 962 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: to have tough guys because when you bring in receivers 963 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 1: who are tough to go along with um you're running 964 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: backs and kind of like, if you're a team that 965 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: is committed to running the ball, you gotta have those 966 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: kind of players. And so I think there is something 967 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 1: to that. Um, there is a requisite toughness that you 968 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: have to have in a position. But the guys that 969 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 1: we're seeing that are big, physical, that don't mind doing 970 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: the dirty work over the middle, those are the guys 971 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: that kind of lead, uh, lead to league in terms 972 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: of catches and yards and all the other stuff that 973 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: you want to see in the passing game.
