Speaker 2: Dj Is got the.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Day off, so we're excited to chat a little Monday

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: night football. We've got some news to get to out

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: of Chicago, plus the next installation of our rookie Draft.

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: But Bucky, I got.

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: A chance and we're gonna get to uh, we're gonna

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: get to the lead block here in a minute. But

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: I got a chance to go to the Rams game

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: last week, and I gotta tell you, man, And you

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: know this as a coach's son, so you know, I

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: was my dad was in the league for a long time, right,

16
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: And so I went to game, right inviting friends and

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: and so one of my oldest son's little friends at

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: school is works for the Rams, and so they invited

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: us to go to the game with them, and we

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: got to go. And it's just, man, it brought back

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: like so many great memories of doing, you know, like

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: going to those games.

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: Like you know, fans have a vested interest.

24
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: I get that, yeah, but you know, like when the

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: checks are on the line, it's a different story, you know,

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: and like like you feel that anxiety, Like I felt

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: that anxiety again. But overall it was just it was

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: really cool because like one of the things you know

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: that I don't get a chance to do is like

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: go to the game with our go to a game

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: with our kids.

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: We're always working the games, Yeah.

33
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: And you always feel like that's kind of something you're

34
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: missing and cultivating their experience and love for the game,

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: you know.

36
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: So it's funny, right because for the longest time, I

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: never had an opportunity to go to games and just

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: have what I call the fan experience.

39
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I went right from playing to scouting.

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: So everything that I've been around in the NFL, they'd

41
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: always been in a work capacity, right, And so when

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: you look at the game, you certainly look at it

43
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: through a different lens. You have different interests on the line,

44
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: and so you don't really get to fully enjoy it

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: of late, like being able to go to games and

46
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: just kind of sit in and get the popcorn and

47
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: the hot dog, and do you think going to sit

48
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: around it's a cool thing. And for you to be

49
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: able to take your kids and allow them to get

50
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: a firsthand I think it takes the fandom up a notch.

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: And I think for kids.

52
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: And anyone who has an opportunity to go see a game,

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: it not only helps you kind of fall in love

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: with your team, but maybe it fosters the dream a

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: little bit, right, Maybe you can see yourself on the

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: field in some capacity. It may not be as a player,

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 3: but maybe it's, oh well, maybe I want to be

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: a trainer. Do you want of the thinks maybe I

59
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: want to be a photographer. I think all those things

60
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: are great. And every time I'm on the field where

61
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: they're in a capacity as a sideline report, I'm looking around,

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: I'm looking at all the great people that are working.

63
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: But then I'm looking at all the young people that

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 3: happen to get exposure to the game.

65
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 4: So it's terrific that you're able to expose your kids

66
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: to that.

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it doesn't I think I think it's it

68
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: started to the more that my oldest and my youngest

69
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: is kind of, you know, a little bit less than

70
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: but but but getting into it with the interest, the

71
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: more that they've wanted to watch and then now going

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: to see the game, I think also fosters their passion

73
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: for you know, when they're out on the field actually

74
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: doing it themselves. Right when they're playing the flag, right,

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: they're thinking about those moments and they're thinking about those plays,

76
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: which I think kind of makes it a little bit more,

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, drives the attention a little bit more.

78
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: So I continue, what's funny and we can talk about

79
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: the explosion of flag. My daughter played flag for the

80
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: first time her senior high school. She plays flags. Awesome,

81
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: team wins the league and does that. But now we

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to share the leve of football in

83
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: a different way. So now she I got to get

84
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: a team and oh, the Ravens are my team. I

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: got to watch the more Jackson then do all this

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: other thing. And I think that's going on across the

87
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: country as more people are being exposed to the game

88
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: through flag, is creating a different generation of fans.

89
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: And so it's great. So you're talking about sharing those yeahs,

90
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: which like awesome.

91
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and like, you know, my dad was

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: in the league. You know I am, I guess you know,

93
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: as a as a working friend of media. My sister

94
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: works for the Texans. Like that's no coincidence, Yeah, it's

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: it is.

96
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: A family business.

97
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: And again it's it's all about interest and expanding you know,

98
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: horizons and getting experiences that way. So it was it

99
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: was really neat and obviously that you know the game

100
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: for the Rams, boy, it was a tough one. And

101
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: that's where we'll get into the lead block presented by

102
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: T Mobile for Business. Football needs a network willing to

103
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: go the extra yard, and so do you go further

104
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: with T Mobile for Business, Well, the Rams are all

105
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: about the business to kick a field goals last night,

106
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: and that's I mean, that's ultimately what it comes down to.

107
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, when you're when you've got an offense that

108
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: can be as explosive bucky as the as the Dolphins can,

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: and you know, can pick up chunk yards with you know,

110
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: a pass that's two yards behind the line of scrimmage

111
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: or two yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

112
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: It's pretty you know.

113
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty tough to deal with, and you've got to

114
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: be able to convert some of those opportunities. And then

115
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, Buck just looking at it, you know, going

116
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: back and looking at where they ended up. I mean,

117
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: their last what six possessions were field goal attempts and

118
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: one of them missed, and you know.

119
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: They get close.

120
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: They weren't necessarily in the red zone, right, but they

121
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: were in that kind of striking area, you know, where

122
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: you can get close, and you got to find a

123
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: way to get in there.

124
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: And you know the thing that you have to know about,

125
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: like as the Miami Dolphins return to full health with

126
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: their weapons on the perimeter, they go back to being

127
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: the team that everyone really feared in terms of their speed,

128
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: their explosiveness. Having watched it during the season opener when

129
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: they were look they had everybody going Jaylen Waddell and

130
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 3: Tybreek Hile, you understand how challenging that offense can be

131
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: to defend, not only on a vertical standpoint, but the

132
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: horizontal game.

133
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: That they have in the past.

134
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: Name and when Tua Tagabaaloa is in there, it changes

135
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: the equation completely because he's one of the best in

136
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: the business that getting the ball out of his hands

137
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: and into the hands of the playmakers on the perimeter.

138
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: But the Rams, when you play.

139
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: A team like the Dolphins, who you know are going

140
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: to put up twenty four to twenty five thirty points,

141
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: every opportunity.

142
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: That you have to score, you got to cash in.

143
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: Uh, the field goal fest is not working their favor,

144
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: because man, you can't keep winning if you're swapping threes

145
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: for seven's.

146
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 4: It just the math doesn't work out for you.

147
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Stalled out at the Miami sixteen, the Miami thirty seven,

148
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: the Miami thirty nine, the Miami thirty five. Matthew Stafford

149
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: actually said that he's like we he talked about the

150
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: strike zone.

151
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: Do you hear that a lot? Buck Like in that.

152
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: Area where you know you're you know you're threatening right

153
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: where you're in field goal range, but you know, you

154
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: if you can get down, you know you can find

155
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: another first down here and now you've got four downs

156
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: and now you're now you're talking about in the red

157
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: area right and you've got you've got you know those opportunities, uh,

158
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, greater opportunity to get into the end zone.

159
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: But the you know, they missed one of the field

160
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: actually made the field goal at the false start, got

161
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: backed up, then missed the field goal, so that you know,

162
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: that might have altered how things played out down at

163
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: the end. But thirty seven, thirty nine to thirty five,

164
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: at the Miami four, you kick a field goal, and

165
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: then at the Miami twelve and you kick a field

166
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: goal on your last two possessions.

167
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 2: Those are the tough ones.

168
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, those are the tough ones.

169
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 3: And it's look, man, the game comes down to a

170
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 3: handful of plays, and those plays in the red area

171
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: everyone matters. And when you're on the fringe of the

172
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: red area what they call the highbrid zone. Yea, Yeah,

173
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: it's important that you get a couple of first downs

174
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: and put yourself in a situation in a position where

175
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: you can maybe get four cracks at it inside the ten.

176
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: They weren't able to do it. They weren't able to

177
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: cash in on the opportunities. And for an offense like Dolphins,

178
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you give them room, they eventually found a

179
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: way to run away from it.

180
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: Look, I actually thought both defenses played pretty well in

181
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: this game. I mean, obviously the Dolphins did right limiting

182
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the Rams that just field goals and just field goal opportunities,

183
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: especially down there. You know when they're in, when they're

184
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and those last two possessions and

185
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: keeping them out of the end zone was massive. I

186
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: thought they got some good pressure and in a number

187
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: of key situations that kind of kept pushing the Rams back,

188
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: whether it was sacks or whether it was just throwaways.

189
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: But man, I just I wanted to watch in person

190
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Jared Verse. I mean such a bull in a China shop.

191
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, just so powerful, so explosive. I mean that

192
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: dude is going to be an absolute stud. I mean

193
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: he already is, right, but I'm talking about like a

194
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: dominant player in this league. I cannot believe the Rams

195
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: ended up getting him. Oh where they did?

196
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: No. I mean when you think about him, when you

197
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: watched him and you watched him play at Florida State,

198
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: he was a power rusher who could bully people on

199
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: the edges, And you think about being able to ring

200
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: the duo, think about Jared Versus and brand Fitz being

201
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: able to come in high energy guys, guys that can

202
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: do it one inside, one outside, the relentless approach, and

203
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 3: just we talked about it on the other pod about

204
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: the committee situation and being able to really throw bodies

205
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: at people. Well, the Rams have that ability and us

206
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: they're just kind of beginning to kind of.

207
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: Scratch the surface on what they have. But man, Versus terrific.

208
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: He's a game change.

209
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: He can tilt the field in the Rams direction by

210
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: making the splash plays that he is showing the pit

211
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: being able to make.

212
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: All right, extended lead block here, as we assessed the

213
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: news out of Chicago that the Bears have fired offensive

214
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: coordinator Shane Waldron. I mean, look, we talked about it

215
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: on the Monday episode, right Buck. I mean, it was just,

216
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, they were a mess on offense, and you know,

217
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: it looked like as DJ mentioned that, you know, Caleb

218
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: was being coached to not screw up right, to not

219
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: make a mistake, to not you know, not have a turnover,

220
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: and he's holding onto the football. Their protection is breaking down.

221
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: You know. Now, look there are.

222
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: Times obviously he's got to get the ball out or

223
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: he's holding the ball three four seconds and then still

224
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: getting sacked. So I mean, like it's it is a

225
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: collective effort. And so at this point with the Bear

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: season spiraling, not surprised to see a move like this

227
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: made for a head coach that's probably feeling a little

228
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: bit of desperation here.

229
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, not surprised because normally what happens in these situations.

230
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: We've seen him play time and time again versus fire coordinator,

231
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: and then you're the next one to be fired if

232
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: you're the Chicago Bears and you bring Shane Watrin over.

233
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: You bring him in with the notion that he's going

234
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: to work with the young quarterback. Then you have to

235
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: have an expectation that the young quarterback is going to play.

236
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: And play well, to play better.

237
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: Whatever reason, it didn't work out like that, like he

238
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: just demoted, but then he doesn't touch the quarterback anymore.

239
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: And so now you have all these other things and

240
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: mixed messages and the unit. The team looks dysfunctional, and

241
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: it's just it's just a hodge podge of and I

242
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: don't know how they fix it. I don't know how

243
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: they get out of it, because I would say the

244
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 3: personnel is flawed.

245
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 4: A new coordinator can come, but you run in the

246
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: same place and concepts maybe run them in different order.

247
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how much just does anything besides being

248
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 3: just active creates activity to distract it from the task

249
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: at hand.

250
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: But I don't know if this has a tangible impact

251
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: on the result.

252
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it's just look at where the Chicago

253
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Bears and so they've lost three in a row off

254
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: their bye week where they went in winning three in

255
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: a row. That's probably the most discouraging part of this

256
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: whole equation. You beat the Rams, you beat the Panthers,

257
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: you beat the Jaguars. I get it, not necessarily, you know,

258
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Lions, but still you won three

259
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: in a row after starting one and two. You go

260
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: into the bye week and you come out and then

261
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 1: you have the Hail Mary loss right to the Commanders.

262
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Then you have the Cardinals in which you let up

263
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: an end of first half touchdown, right, and then you

264
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: come back here against the Patriots and just look completely

265
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: out of sorts.

266
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: And what are you talking about?

267
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: Twelve points twenty seven points in three games right at

268
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: that point?

269
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like you haven't put up enough points.

270
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: She looked disjointed. The quarterback looked like he's regressing, and

271
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: he's holding onto the ball too long. I just want

272
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 4: to let it go. You had to play call and

273
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: youth play design.

274
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: You to one that's most responsible for his performance, and

275
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: you just haven't delivered. And I mean, I guess give

276
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: the them credit. Rather than continue to roll with it

277
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: for the year, they poor a plug.

278
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all to the next hope for different results.

279
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I keep doing the same thing as the definition of insanity.

280
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: So we'll see if this changes things. Thomas Brown the

281
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: passing game coordinator. Uh, you know who had a shot

282
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: is the Panthers OC under Frank Reich. Didn't work out there,

283
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: I was with the Rams for a little while. Is

284
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: now going to get a shot to pilot this offense?

285
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: And maybe you can find a way to unlock Caleb

286
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 1: Williams and get him to get the ball out of

287
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: his hands and get back to playing on time and

288
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: on rhythm and with confidence in his abilities, which are

289
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: obviously supreme.

290
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

291
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: And then so just to see, they have got to

292
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: run through the NFC North. That's the Bears have not

293
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: played an NFC North Division game yet, and so their

294
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: next three games Packers, Vikings, Lions.

295
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: All right, Kenn, wait to see what kind of differences missed.

296
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: You know, it just seems like you probably would have

297
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 3: waited for a better time.

298
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: Hey, next half, he oh, listen to this. This might

299
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: be the I have to go back and check this.

300
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: It might be the worst second half schedule in football. Packers, Vikings, Lions, Niners,

301
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: Vikings Lions, Seahawks Packers. I mean, they've got six division

302
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: games in their final eight, and that division is arguably

303
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: the best in football.

304
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I dig the division games, but man, yes,

305
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: maybe hit just on this list.

306
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: Like it just who Yeah, we're cut out for you.

307
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got to bring to a game. It'd be

308
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: interesting to see what just looks like.

309
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: All right, well that is a wrap for the lead

310
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: block presented by T Mobile for Business. Football needs a network,

311
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: will need to go to the extra yard, and so

312
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: do you go further with T Mobile for Business. Okay,

313
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: when we come back, read Lewis, Bucky Brooks and no

314
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Bill filling in for DJ on the rookie Draft. I

315
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: think what's happening here is DJ is just kind of

316
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: quietly bowing out after another rousing victory by my squad.

317
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: He's just that tapping out.

318
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Need to be able to come in and we'll have

319
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: that rookie draft for you on the other side. All right, friends,

00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Bucky is up.

345
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: First and then I am second in nobil in DJ's

346
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: stead is picking back to back at three four, and

347
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: then we'll close it out at nine.

348
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: So all right, Buck, Number one overall pick where you.

349
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: Can do what I'm gonna do, what most great franchises do.

350
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: Number one over our pick if there's a quarterback available,

351
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna take him.

352
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: So let's go Jayden Daniels. Let's make it happen on

353
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: Thursday night.

354
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: Let's get the victory done early against the Eagles. Yeah,

355
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: let's handle our business early so we can sleep well

356
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: over the weekend.

357
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: Wow.

358
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's an interesting one. I tell you what

359
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do here, and I got a little bit

360
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: of a lead to play with here. So I feel

361
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: confident quarterbacks are tough right now. And I don't know

362
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: that I want to see Jeff Hafley's defense against Caleb Williams,

363
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not going Caleb that we were just talking

364
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: about the Rams defense in this episode. I don't know

365
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: that I want to see Drake may go up against

366
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: the Rams this week. So I am thinking that I'm

367
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna go bow Knicks. Uh, take it on the Falcons.

368
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: We also talk about as on Monday as providing a

369
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: nice comfortable pocket for opposing quarterbacks. So give me bow

370
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Nicks in the Broncos at home. I'm gonna go bow

371
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: at number two. So DJ slash Nobile, you are up

372
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: at number three, your choice of skill positions. He's going

373
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: Brock Bowers and Brian Thomas junior. All right, Bowers makes sense,

374
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: I get that one. I'd certainly get that one. So

375
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: no Marvin Harrison this week, Bucky and the Show, It's me.

376
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: I am up again. No Marvin Harrison, just to so

377
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: you know. Malik Neighbors still leads the way in rookie

378
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: receptions at sixty six, Bowers right behind him at sixty two,

379
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas at forty three. I think I gotta go

380
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: Lad mconkey this week.

381
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 4: McConkie, mconkee.

382
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I gotta go Lad against the Bengals.

383
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 1: Give me Lad lock up Ladd this week. So that

384
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: brings you back with back to backs here, Bucky Man.

385
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: This is this is tough, right because somebody has to

386
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: catch some some some balls. This week, got the Packers

387
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: taking them there so.

388
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 4: I could go Rome with Duney. But Rome broke last week.

389
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: I got has has been catching some balls from Bowneck's

390
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: the seventh round pick out of Utah. Tavian Sanders with

391
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: the Panthers has been coming on late. He's got thirty

392
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: catches already.

393
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 4: He has, but I feel like I need a notable name.

394
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 4: I got a big game.

395
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: This week, Kansas City versus Buffalo, and I'm just wondering,

396
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: can I get a good performance from one of the rookies,

397
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: worry about can I call him and being available?

398
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking, and yeahh I no, I know. So

399
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: I'm thinking.

400
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy should be due to make them regret what

401
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 3: they passed on. So Xavier' worthy being available right there,

402
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: and then I have to go.

403
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 4: Back to back and.

404
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: You know, maybe I am feeling a little more optimistic

405
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: about what you said my seventh round.

406
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 4: Guy Bailey, that's what it is. But that's rich Rits.

407
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: He look.

408
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: He's trying to get me like I feel like.

409
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: Mm hmm man, Bucky Irving's down to like this is

410
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: Braylan Allen. That's what I was looking at.

411
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: Brayl Allen is going to have to save me because

412
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 4: I was looking at the in and out his goals

413
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 4: and the jest, let's go Braylen Allen somehow saves me.

414
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: He's saying, okay, man.

415
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm also looking at at Ray Davis, although

416
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean James Cook his back is the lead back there.

417
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: It's that's a tough one. I might I might have

418
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: to go with the stack. I might have to go

419
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: with the von Vley. No, I might have to hold on,

420
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: hold on, let me think about it. Here, you think

421
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: about it for one more second.

422
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,360
