1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody walking to move the sticks? DJ?

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Bucky here on a busy show today. We've got fun

00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: guests coming up here, Buck, and we've got a lot

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: of football to talk about. A lot of football. We're

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: bringing in Cleveland's on Chris Rose to talk about the

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Browns and all the things that are popping in Cleveland.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: They have to be excited about what Baker Mayfield has

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: been able to do there. Then we gonna take a

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: look at the preview of all the NFL games, and

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: we also will look at this great college football slate

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: ahead of us this weekend. Yeah, championship games, great weekend

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: of college football. I do want to say one thing

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: off the top here. There was somebody on Twitter that

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: was a Buffalo Bills fan. Buck, I don't know if

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: you saw this and complaining that we don't talk about

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and like, we talked about the Buffalo

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Bills on Monday, and we're gonna talk about them again today.

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: So I do not accept I do not accept that criticism. Yeah,

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just unbelievable. All Right, We're gonna also

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: talk to Rose about Kyle or Murray in his situation.

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Chris Rose, Um, you know, has his Baseball show, intentional talk.

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: He lives in the baseball world as well as does

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: always work here for NFL Network. So um, he has

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: some unique insight and some information. I think that's not public.

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: I would say not everybody knows about it. Uh, He's

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: got some insight on that situation. So look forward to

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: that chat in a little bit. But let's start off.

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Let's start off with these NFL games. Let's get rolling.

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Ravens that Falcons earned the job, earn

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: the job. That is what's going on. That's what I'm

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: looking at in this one. Lamar Jackson's got a couple

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: of wins. Buck. I think if he gets a win

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: this week on the road at the Falcons, I think

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: they ride with him through the remainder of the season.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I think it's his job. He can earn it this week. Yeah,

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: I think he should earn it. I think he should

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: be a guy. I think they played differently obviously when

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: he's on the center. Running game has been phenomenal. Gus

40
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: Edwards has going over a hundred yards back to back

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: games for the Atlanta fallconus is trying to figure out

42
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: who they are and what they are. Uh. This is

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: a team that was really wrecked with injuries, particularly on

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: the defense side of the ball. On offense is about

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian finding a way to continue to get Matt

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Ryan playing well. They're playing at home, this should mean

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: a more explosive game for the offense. But Matt Ryan,

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, they're running game. They have to get on track.

49
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: They need to make the play, make the Ravens play

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: from behind. Panthers that Buccaneers, well, this could be a

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: shootout with the Bucks offense being explosive and the Panthers

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: you saw what Christian McCaffrey did last week, seeing d J.

53
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: Moore come along. I think Cam Newton's playing at a

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: high level, even though they lost that game to the Seahawks,

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: could be a shootout. I would say that the key

56
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: for the Panthers in this one. Their secondaries gotta make

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: plays on the football that when you watch that game,

58
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: they're a great position, just could not locate and play

59
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: the ball. That's going to be key in this one. Yeah,

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: it is going to be key because I think for

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers every week as an audition for

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Jamis Winston is trying to audition for ownership

63
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: in Tampa to let him know that he is the

64
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. And so we've seen the last couple of

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: weeks a more discipline detail. Jamie s Winston someone who

66
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: has played better in terms of taking care of the ball.

67
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I think he has to be an attack mode against

68
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers. He continues to put up big numbers. I

69
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: think he can kind of lock himself into being there.

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: QB one next season bears that Giants. Well, I think

71
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: this Bear's front will be able to get after the Giants. Uh.

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: In the passing game, They're gonna get some pressure on

73
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. I't think Eli man Is gonna be able

74
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: to get away from it. But what I'll be focusing

75
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: on here is Chase Daniel could get another shot here

76
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: with Mitchell Robiskie's injury to get out there and just

77
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: play an efficient brand of football, no turnovers, no short fields. Uh.

78
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel kind of proven that even though he hasn't

79
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: played a lot throughout his career, UH show and he's

80
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: capable as a backup in a small stretch of games. Uh,

81
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: see if you can do it again and this one,

82
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: protect the football, punch your friend. When you look at

83
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: this matchup, yeah, I think this is a boy's to

84
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: me and game for Eli Manning. Meaning it's so hard

85
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: to say goodbye into the road. The road are gonna

86
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: are gonna say goodbye to Eli Manning at the end

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: of this season. I think this is the fair world tool.

88
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: So let's enjoy him. Let's hope he can make a

89
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: couple of plays because I think this is it for Eli.

90
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: In the middle is not Motown Philly apparently Bills that Dolphins.

91
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a battle of big plays because

92
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: when you look at these offenses, they kind of rely

93
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: on them and the Buffalo Bills. With Josh Allen in there,

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: he can give you a big play with his arm

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: off play action, uh, chucking the ball deep down the

96
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: field with home run throws, or you can also take

97
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: off and run out. Should should have had a hundred

98
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: yards last week rushing the football. So to me, whoever

99
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: has more big plays in this game is gonna win.

100
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't think Josh Allen's gonna go out there and

101
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: complete thirty balls, but He can do a lot of

102
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: damage on a handful of completions when they're getting vertical,

103
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: especially with Foster down the field. You know, the Miami

104
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: Dolphins are still in the playoff hunt. They have to

105
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: find a way to get a win. This is a

106
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: huge game for the Ryan Tannehill was back last week.

107
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I think he would play better this week. Adam Gaze

108
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: has to figure out a way to get this team

109
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: charged up and motivated to play against what I think

110
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: is a very gritty and resilient buffal Little Bill's team.

111
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: This is one where the Miami Dolphins toughness has to

112
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: show through what colt zat Jaguars. Remember the movie Twins

113
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Buck with the Dannie Divito and Arlo Schwarzenegger. Now famously

114
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: the movie was about two guys look nothing alike and

115
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: there you go with twins. This game is about twins

116
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: that look in play alike. And it was the comparison

117
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: we both made in the runt to the draft. Darius

118
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Leonard and Telvin Smith, two slender linebackers that all they

119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: do is collect tackles and make plays. I look forward

120
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: to seeing which one of these guys is going to

121
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: be the difference maker Darius Leonard, the rookie, Telvin Smith

122
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: the veteran, same same frame, same game. For the Jacksonville

123
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars is the Cody Kesler Show. Excited to see what

124
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Cody Kesler does. Like they blent, they bench blake boarders,

125
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: they put Cody Kessler into deal. Doug Marone is going

126
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: to be more prominent in terms of taking over to

127
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: play calling. It's Scott Milano. Vince's serving as offensive coordinator.

128
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity for the Jacksonville Jaguars to

129
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: just have a y, a clean slate, and try and

130
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: finish the season the right way. Just not everyone is

131
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: under evaluation, a lot of pressure on everyone in the organization.

132
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: I think if they're going to get it right and

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: just kind of finished strong, it starts with Cody Kessler

134
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and the running game. How they perform ultimately determine whether

135
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: they win. To lose Brown that Texans in or out.

136
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: That's what this game is about. It's the pass pro

137
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns trying to block the Texans. You

138
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: want to keep everybody in, you want to get everybody out.

139
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: We've seen this team go empty a little bit last week.

140
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: I think that might be the direction they go, try

141
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: and get everybody out in the route and Baker Mayfield

142
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: get that ball out of your hands quick. That's gonna

143
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: be a key for this Brown's offense to avoid negative plays,

144
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: avoid turnovers. For the Houston Texas, it's about continue to

145
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: lean on the running game. The last six games of

146
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson has passed it twenty five for fewer and

147
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: it's really helped this offense become a little more efficient,

148
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: a little more balanced. They've avoided some of the negative

149
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: plays that were coming with all the sacks they really

150
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: hurt them early in the year. So Lamar Miller, Alfred Blue,

151
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: those guys have to get established on the round. When

152
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: they run the football, they're able to impose their will.

153
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: We've seen them real off seven eighth straight wins. Let's

154
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: continue to see them lead on the run game and

155
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: watch that defense. That front four is awesome with J J.

156
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Watt leading away Broncos. That Bengals. I'm gonna get sam

157
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: chance to see Jeff Driscoll, the Jeff Driscoll Show here

158
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals. Pass rush is what I'm looking

159
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: at again from this Broncos group. We talked about it

160
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: almost every week. But in this game, it's not only

161
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: getting home to Driscoll got something not a lot of

162
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: experience back there, and the Broncos are good. And when

163
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: they get home, poking the ball and I look for

164
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: von Miller v Millo get a sack forth fumble in

165
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: this game, you can bank on it. The Beagles, they're

166
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the fund a way to get a win. You're playing

167
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: an inexperience quarterback in Jeff Driscoll. Uh, you just don't

168
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: know what you can do defensively to get back on track.

169
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: This is a team that had high hopes to start

170
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: the year, but now they're really really struggling. I think

171
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: for Marvin Lewis, he has to figure out a way

172
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: to kind of turn it around. They just gotta start playing.

173
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: But I think it starts with the discipline, the discipline

174
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: and detail on defense. If they can just be a

175
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: little more precise, a little more discipline, I think they

176
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: can force Case Keeno minces the turnovers. The Broncos are

177
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: winning despite not having a great offense. I think the

178
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Bengals defense has to turn him that he'd make case

179
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Keenom have to make place from the pocket. Hello Rams

180
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: that Lions. This is about Josh Reynolds moving up the

181
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Reynolds rankings. Right now, he's looking up at Ryan Reynolds.

182
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: He also has Harold Reynolds ahead of him, but with

183
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: the way he played when he got an opportunity of

184
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: that Cooper Cup injury, I see, look right, he's gonna

185
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of move up here. I'm gonna see Josh Reynolds

186
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: climb up the Reynolds rankings in this game, Buck, he

187
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: stepped in and really done a great job for Cooper Cups.

188
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: Forget Kevin McK reynolds either slightly slightly different, slightly different,

189
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds has been terrific stepping up for a Cooper Cup.

190
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: This is a team that lives in eleven personnel, one bad,

191
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: one tied in three wire receivers. Is really a problematic

192
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: formation to deal with because you have to deal with

193
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. For the Detroit Lions, they have to be

194
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: able to stop the run. They've been better since Snacks

195
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: Harrison has come over. He has given them the ability

196
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: to kind of contain everything on the inside. But they

197
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: only need their defense to play at a high level.

198
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: And what I'm really concerned about is Matthew Stafford appears

199
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: to be regressing. He and Jim Bob Cooter. For whatever reason,

200
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: this offense doesn't look like it should. They have to

201
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: find out what their identity is and without a consistent

202
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: running game, it falls on Matthew Stafford's shoulders. He has

203
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: to be terrific in the pocket. If not, they don't

204
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:24,239
Speaker 1: have any chance to win this game. What Cardinals that packers?

205
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Boop boop, boom boom. I just want to see a pulse.

206
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: Can I just see a pulse from the Cardinals? That's

207
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: all I'm asking for here, Buck, just show me a

208
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: little life, a little energy, Are good, buddy? John Gordon

209
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: talks about having players that bring energy to a team

210
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: when things are down, when you're struggling, you need some

211
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: energy givers, not energy vampires. And this team haven't seen

212
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: them up close and personal last week. These Arizona Cardinals

213
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: look lifeless. Buck, somebody has got to provide a spark.

214
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: It has to be a big hit, has to be

215
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: a big play, something early in this game. Get some energy,

216
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: get some life in this uh. This Cardinals team? Uh

217
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: for the grave a access. It's time to get hot,

218
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: It's time to give Rolling and Rodgers have talked about

219
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: rilling on four and five straight wins. Well, the only

220
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: way you can do that, you gotta get one. And

221
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: this is the perfect team to come in to get

222
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: your first win. Uh, there's on the card that's I've

223
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: been struggling on both sides of the ball, and Rodgers

224
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: needs to find his rhythm, has to work with the

225
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: young receivers to get them on par. I think they

226
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: get their win. I think they start a hot street

227
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: Chief Sat Raiders. The sack record might get broken in

228
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: this game, but because the Chiefs are gonna put up

229
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: a ton of points early in this game, it's gonna

230
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: put the Raiders in chase mode. The Raiders offensive line,

231
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: let me just sum it up for you, terrible. Okay,

232
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: they're terrible, And the Chiefs have some pass rushers. So

233
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I know that Derrick Thomas had that

234
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: huge day. Uh, how many of you end up getting

235
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: what seven sacks way back in the day. Ridiculous? Now

236
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: were you there on that team? By the way, I

237
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: was at a game against the Raiders where he has

238
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: seven sex He was unbelievable. That's ridiculous. So so to me,

239
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: that record is probably gonna be safe. But this as

240
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: a collective group. They might get in double digits in

241
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: this game. That that's what's gonna happen. It's gonna be

242
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: a sack attack. If you're opening ready to just play

243
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: out his strain. You wanted to number one pick, just

244
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: do enough to make the fans through, get through, trying

245
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: not to have any catastrophic injuries or anything like that.

246
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: I just think this is a team that is very,

247
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: very disappointed, disappointing Bruten's first year. Uh. On a serious no,

248
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: you want to try and find something. You want to

249
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: try and find something that you can hang your hat on.

250
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: Offensively and identity. Derry Carr has completed a lot of passes,

251
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: but he hasn't had a lot of games, hadn't had

252
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: a lot of impact plays. Maybe this is the week

253
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: they can have some impact plays because the chief secondary

254
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: isn't very good. I just don't know who. He targets

255
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: the ball too down the field. Jets said Titans. Uh,

256
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: to me, this is about who's a part of the

257
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: future for this Jets franchise. You know, this is a

258
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: young team. UM trying to find some building block pieces.

259
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: We've talked about some of the guys on the defensive

260
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: side of the ball that are definitely gonna be a

261
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: part of that future Learning Williams Jamal Adams. Uh, that's

262
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: two pretty darn good ones to start with their Darren

263
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: le Uh, you know, Avery Williams, and they've got some

264
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: good players on that side of the ball. Who's going

265
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: to be a part of this offensive nucleus? And I

266
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: don't know if we're gonna see Sam Donald at the

267
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: time we're recording this, uh this podcast. I'd love to

268
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: see him get back out there. But who is going

269
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: to be a part of this group offensively going forward?

270
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: And these last handful of games we're gonna find out. Yeah,

271
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean for the Tennessee Titans, they gotta get back

272
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: on track. Um, Marcus Mariota, like had a phenomenal game

273
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 1: on paper, but he didn't really impact the game the

274
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: way did you expect the franchise quarterback to do so?

275
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: If the Tennessee Titans are going to get back and

276
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: playoff contention, he has to be the guy that kind

277
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: of sparks the offense. Look for Matt Floyd to put

278
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: him in his comfort zone. I think Marcus Mariota has

279
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: a big game against the team that is right for

280
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: the picking Hello forty Niners that Seahawks I talked about,

281
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be a part of that Jets team

282
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: moving forward. This forty er team, a couple of guys

283
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited about, uh them going into the future, Guys

284
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: that are gonna be you know, key pieces in there,

285
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: um and their foundation here Matt Brita, you know, being

286
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: given the opportunity after the injury to Jerick McKinnon has

287
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: stepped up in a big boy He's averaging almost six

288
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: yards and carry buck. I mean he's been he's been outstanding.

289
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: Uh seven or three at yards rushing right now. And

290
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: then George Kittle, who has been one of the best

291
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: young tight ends in the NFL. He's having a great year.

292
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: He's already got fifty six grabs. So those two young guys,

293
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for teams that aren't doing well, that

294
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be in the postseason. Who's a part of

295
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: the future. Uh. They do have some intriguing young pieces

296
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: there with the Niners. Yeah, they have some intriguing young pieces, um,

297
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: and I think you can say the same for the

298
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. This is a team that was supposed to

299
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: being rebuild mode, but it looks like they're reloading for

300
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: another playoff run. The run of game has been terrific.

301
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has proven to be a franchise quarterback worthy

302
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: of being able to get them to the Winter Circle

303
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: when he has that opportunity. But it's the young defense

304
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: that you have to be excited about. I think this

305
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: is a game where you're just trying to get all

306
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: these young guys to understand take care of business. This

307
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: is a game with the Seattle Seahawks should show up.

308
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: They should take care of what they need to take

309
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: care of, and walk out the stadium with another win.

310
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Viking za Patriots. Last week we saw the Minnesota Vikings

311
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: beat a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Aaron Rodgers.

312
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: They did it by primarily rushing four guys play coverage,

313
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: rush for It worked because that front four dominated. They

314
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: were able to get home and generate a lot of pressure.

315
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: I think you see that same game game plan in

316
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: this one working against the New England Patriots. I don't

317
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: know you need to blitz Tom Brady. I think you

318
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: can rush for play coverage, uh and try and control

319
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski. That'll be the key. It continues for the

320
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: pages to be a game where they lean on the

321
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: running game, Sonny Michelle. When he's available, the running game

322
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: is the difference. It really bounces up the offense makes

323
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: life a lot easier for Tom Brady gained a hundre

324
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: of yards in his last appearance. Sonny Michelle coming back.

325
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: I think it's about the running game. Look for this

326
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: to be a physical game from the Patriots where they

327
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: set up big plays in the passing game, off play

328
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: action Chargers. That Steelers to be anterior offensive line for

329
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: the Charger is gonna be huge. A lot of people

330
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: can talk about Melvin Gordon not playing in this game,

331
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: uh due to the injury. I think Austin Nikeler, Justin Jackson,

332
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: they'll be okay. Uh. To me, it's gonna come down.

333
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: Can they block these interior defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh

334
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Steelers who can be so disruptive. Cam Hayward is outstanding,

335
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave is outstanding. Dan Phoenie is who I'll have

336
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: my eyes on in this one. I think Pouncey will

337
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: hold up fine school fields done well, but Phenie has

338
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: been a little bit uneven this year, So this is

339
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a big challenge for him and Uh. They

340
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: need to work together because they'll run some twists and

341
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: games inside. Gotta communicate, gotta play well up front in

342
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: the interior if they're gonna go on the road and

343
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: beat the Steelers. For the Pittsburgh Steelers is about who

344
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: is going to be the third playmaker. We know about

345
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster and Antonio Brown, but this Steelers need

346
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: a third playmaker to emerge. Early in the season. That

347
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: player was James Conner of late has been advanced McDonald

348
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer. Regardless of who steps up, they need someone

349
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: else to help Juju and a B get it done.

350
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: Let's see how it plays out this weekend. Redskins. That

351
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Eagle for the Redskins gotta be a dominant performance by

352
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: their defensive line and their defensive front. Now, the good

353
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: news is the Eagles cannot start a football game offensively.

354
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: I think they've scored there's only there's been only two games.

355
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: I believe that they've scored in the first quarter. They

356
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: are notoriously slow starting team. And this Redskins team, I

357
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: know about the injuries they've had, but defensively up front

358
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: of the defensive line, it is a really good group

359
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: they can get after the quarterback. So if they can

360
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: build a lead. Eagles start off slow, you build a lead,

361
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: let your defensive line take over this football game. That's

362
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: their formula ful PHILLIDIPI Eagles is being committed to the

363
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: running game. When they're committed to the run game, it

364
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: takes some of the pressure off Carson Wins And then

365
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: on defense, it's about continue to keep it simple. They

366
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: simplify things in the second half with all those new

367
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: pieces that they have in the back end. It really

368
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: worked out. Well. Let's see if they can just focus

369
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: on out executing the Washington riskins as opposed to trying

370
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: to trick them with a bunch of exotic schemes. Yeah,

371
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. Look, this is a this is a great

372
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: slate of games. Can't wait for this weekend. But you know, Buck,

Speaker 1: he's the host of my kid's favorite show, battle Bots.

391
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: And that is that is Cleveland brown super fan Chris Rose.

392
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: What's up, Roser? It's all good, guys. I mean, the

393
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: nice thing is is that we actually have something to

394
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: talk about with the Browns is here? I mean, good ad.

395
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're rising up the charts. We've got a

396
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: Mouti quarterback, We've got a little bit of everything. I'm

397
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: excited for you man, because normally this time of year,

398
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: we're like, all right, well the Browns are gonna have

399
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: this many draft picks, all right? Which direction? You think

400
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: they should go on instead of talking about future draft picks,

401
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: we can actually talk about some of the draft picks

402
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: you've already got that have got Browns fans fired up.

403
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: So just give me your you know you're taking not

404
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: just as a as a Browns fan. You cover this

405
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: in the media and you follow this all these teams,

406
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: but just your your early impressions from what you've seen

407
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: from your young quarterback. I mean, he's he's changed the city.

408
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't lived there in a long long time,

409
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: but I still have family there, and he has He's

410
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: changed the city. When we needed somebody to gravitate to.

411
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we lost the best athlete that's ever played

412
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: there in Lebron James, with all due respect to Jim

413
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Brown Um, and we have somebody to gravitate towards. We

414
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: haven't had that, I mean for twenty plus years. I

415
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: mean really, it's been like thirty years since Bernie was

416
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: any good that this team has been searching for a quarterback.

417
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. You know, I've got two

418
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: boys that are eighteen and thirteen, and when I'm at work,

419
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, with you guys every Sunday. The older one,

420
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: Josh has texted me over the last few years. He's

421
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: like he'd watched the first half of the Browns game

422
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: and he texted me He's like, I can't watch this

423
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: crap anymore. He's like, I need a new team. And

424
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: then he'd go back to his old ways because his

425
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: old man has kind of forced him into loving Cleveland

426
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: teams through DNA, And this year it's been nothing but joy.

427
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: You know, over the last two months since Baker has

428
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: taken over, Um, they still had a long way to go.

429
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: And man, I tell I tell my kids all the

430
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: time because I grew up in the eighties when the

431
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: Browns made the Playoffs five times and we're on the

432
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: cust of making the Super Bowl three times. And I

433
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: was like, I wish you guys could understand what it's

434
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: like to be a Browns fan and wake up on

435
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: Monday morning and be so excited for next Sunday. Like

436
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: that's what my alhood was like. And these kids are like, yeah,

437
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: the Browns suck. I can't watch him. And now they're

438
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: finally good. So he has made a monumental shift in

439
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: this you know, Baker, Uh, you kind of alluded Christie

440
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to Baker kind of being tied to

441
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: the fabric of the city. What is it about Baker

442
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: Mayfield that really ingratiates him to the people of Cleveland?

443
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Great word, Well, part of the deal is is that.

444
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: And I say this a lot about my hometown, which

445
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: I still love. We have small city syndrome, so we

446
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: always think somebody's out to get us, and I think

447
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: that Baker feels the same way. Somebody's always out to

448
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: get him. And I think that's why his comments kind

449
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: of exploded nationally the way they did over the last

450
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: several days, and he can't let things go and I

451
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: think that that's a benefit to him. I'm hoping it's

452
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: not a detriment to him, but I think it really

453
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: mirrors the city that It's just we've been beating up

454
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: on so many times and passed over so many times

455
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: that the way he he is, the fabric of who

456
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: he is, really resonates with that city. I think it's interesting.

457
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: I said on TV the other day rows because we

458
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: were we were debating this and Silver was on there

459
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: and talking about that whole situation after the game with

460
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: with you Jackson and all that, and um, I just said, look,

461
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: haven't spent some time in this organization, You've been following

462
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: it forever. There's just been kind of this woe was

463
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Me mentality of like, oh something's going wrong. Here we

464
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: go again. You mentioned it just kind of like everybody's

465
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: out to get us. Um, it's just kind of a

466
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: defeatist mentality to some degree. And I said, Baker has

467
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: transformed that from woe was Me to really kind of

468
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: to put it, you know, in clean words, just kind

469
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: of a screw you, uh, philosophy of just you know,

470
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a cocky, it's an arrogance. Uh. There's

471
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: obviously some immaturity in there as well. But I think

472
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the difference between the immaturity of a Baker Mayfield versus

473
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: the immaturity of someone like Johnny man L is that

474
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is ultra competitive. He's putting in the work,

475
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: He's passionate about football. Football is number one for him. Um.

476
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: But he does have some of the maturity, some that cockiness,

477
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: and I think it might just be perfect for what

478
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: this Cleveland Browns team. And you even mentioned even what

479
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: the city needed is just kind of like that, you know, hey,

480
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: we are somebody here, let me break this down for

481
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: you pretty simply. I think, first of all, with the comments,

482
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: and I want to get to that he was wrong

483
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: with what he said about Hugh Jackson. Hugh Jackson can

484
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: go when you're fired, you can go search question can now.

485
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little strange. I can't remember

486
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: the last time a head coach went to a different

487
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: team during the season. Josh Josh McDaniel, Josh McDaniels did it, Um, Broncos,

488
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots Brons, but not inside the division. And it's

489
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: but it's weird. So that's like one time in the

490
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: last twenty years. It just doesn't happen very often. But

491
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: he's a to go do it. That's fine um for people.

492
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: I thought Damien Woody was way off base being critical

493
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield, calling him a hypocrite. We cannot We've

494
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: never put grown men who are fifty three years old,

495
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: who have been head coaches of two different franchise in

496
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: the same boat of a kid that lost a scholarship

497
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: that's twenty years old trying to find his way in college.

498
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: It's not the same. I'm sorry, it's not. So let's

499
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: put that off to the side. He then yesterday had

500
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: to answer questions about it again because he went at

501
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: it with Woody on social media. And if there was

502
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: one thing I could implore Baker Mayfield to do, it's

503
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: not getting in a war with a bunch of guys

504
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: that are over forty years old. It's it because most

505
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: people over forty and I fall in that category. And

506
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: so do you. People say, Baker, yeah, take the high road.

507
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: You don't have to say anything about Hugh Jackson, shake

508
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: his hand and move on and make it about the

509
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: Browns demolishing the Bengals on the field. That's probably how

510
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: most of us over forty feels a lot of people

511
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: under thirty and that's almost everybody in the Brown's locker

512
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: room were like that a way. And that's why Baker mayfeel,

513
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is so popular in locker rooms because

514
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: he feels like they feel like he's one of them.

515
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: He's not a quarterback that's putting himself up on a

516
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: pedestal and all that. Uh. And then the people that

517
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: are thirty and forty are probably caught in between somewhere

518
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: and trying to make up their minds. Now, it's not everybody,

519
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: not everybody over forty can't stand what Baker did, and

520
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: not everybody under thirty loves it. But I think that's

521
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: why he's so popular, you know in the locker room,

522
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't give a damn, you know. And

523
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: in thinking about that, um, I wanted because a lot

524
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: of conversation has been on Baker. But I think the

525
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: team has really really changed since Greg Williams has taken over.

526
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: When you look at Greg Williams and you look at

527
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: his brashness, his uh demeanor, how I mean, he doesn't

528
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: mind saying a lot and he kind of falls and

529
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: locks it with Baker Mayfield. When you think of him

530
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: as your head coach? Could you see this as a

531
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: long term solution to what has been a problem for

532
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: the Browns for a long time. I am always of

533
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: the firm belief that if you don't have the quarterback

534
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: and the coach that you feel like I can win

535
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, that you got to find the next guy, right.

536
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I personally don't think he's a Super Bowl

537
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: winning coach. I think he's brought a lot of things

538
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: that the Browns needed. The number of flags that were

539
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: thrown on them and the first seven or eight games

540
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: this year was an atrocity and when you're playing that

541
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: many close games, that could be the difference between winning

542
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: and losing. I mean, listen at four six and one.

543
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: Browns fans are so excited because it says we're listed

544
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 1: in the hun're the others were in the hunt. It's

545
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: almost the separate. It says we're in the hunt. That's good,

546
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: so they're is a danger of falling in love with

547
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: the guy who's getting in there. But boy, unless he

548
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: just runs the table and they somehow make the playoffs,

549
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't see it, I don't feel it.

550
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't think he will be that guy.

551
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: The interesting thing will be, uh, with with Freddie Kitchens

552
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: can keep the quarterback progressing and playing at the level

553
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: he's been playing at. I think he could be a

554
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: part of the plan going forward with whoever the next

555
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: head coach would be. I think that would probably be

556
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: more likely, uh than Greg Williams holding onto this gig.

557
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: But I think we're gonna find out a lot about

558
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: this Brown's team. I think we're gonna find out a

559
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: lot about him over the next couple of weeks here

560
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: because look, they beat the Falcons, they beat the Bengals, Uh,

561
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: we'll see how they do on the road against the Texans.

562
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: Now that now they they they go get that one

563
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: and in the Texans winning streak, then I think, you know, okay,

564
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: we've got something going here. And then you follow that

565
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: up with Panthers. Then on the road at Broncos. We'll

566
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: have a chance. Over these next three weeks. Well, we'll

567
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: see what happens. Yeah. And by the way, with the

568
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: whole Baker Mayfield thing, here's what the narrative is gonna be.

569
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: On Monday, they lose as expected against the team that

570
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: hasn't lost the game in two months. Seed Baker should

571
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: have kept his mouth shut. See what one is not

572
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: going to do with the other. It is silly, but

573
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: it's this is what This is the low hanging fruit

574
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: world of sports media that we live in. You know.

575
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's executives that love what Damien Wood he

576
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: did because guess what he went out He had an opinion.

577
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: That's what people love. It's clicking. Got a reaction from

578
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: a players that exactly, and that's all they care about.

579
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: So what we as fans have to do is waged

580
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: past the bs and look at the reason things happen

581
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: in the game. It's not because of what Baker Mayfield

582
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: said about Hugh Jackson. Whatever that's between them, it doesn't

583
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: matter anymore. It'll matter when the Bengals come to town perhaps,

584
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: but not this week against the Houston Texans. That's ridiculous.

585
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: I want to get one more and I'll get black

586
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: Bucket back in here. But I was just thinking about

587
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: this as we switched gears here for a second. I

588
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody's uh, maybe more uni qualified to

589
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: answer this question the new Roser because your favorite team

590
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: you follow forever, the Browns have a quarterback from Oklahoma.

591
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: You work in the NFL, you work in Major League Baseball. Now,

592
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: the current Oklahoma quarterback is Kyler Murray, who's been drafted

593
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: in the top ten by the Oakland A's and the

594
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: Baseball Draft. But he's a Heisman gonna be a Heisman

595
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: finalist here, probably gonna finish as a runner up to

596
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to a Tunge Violota from Alabama and that race. But

597
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: now he's got a decision to make going forward. And

598
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: I know we had some comments the other day that

599
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: said that still was the plan to go play for

600
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: the Oakland A's. Just your overall impression of that situation

601
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: and what what should he do? Well, Okay, so I

602
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: did a little research yesterday and I called one of

603
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: my baseball insiders and I said, does Murray have anything

604
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: in his contract which precludes him from attending the Combine?

605
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: And they said no, but he will not attend the Combine,

606
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: is what I'm told, And that whenever Oklahoma's done, if

607
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: it's after the bowl game game, I can't imagine he

608
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: would play in the bowl game at that's after Alabama

609
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: smack him round in the first round of the playoff. Yea,

610
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: whatever it is that he's done with football, That's what

611
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm being told. Now he's already received his four point

612
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: six six million dollar signing bonus. Um. You know, you

613
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: guys know where he fits in the draft landscape. But

614
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that if we're to get drafted, he

615
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: would fall past eight two. Right, No question he's gonna go.

616
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean there there is there is a there's legitimate

617
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: interest and buzz about him and curiosity to see if

618
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: he does pursue football from football people and put it

619
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah. Now here's the other thing. It's hard

620
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: to hit a baseball. It might be the toughest thing

621
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: to do in in all of sports. And the one

622
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: weakness he's got is his swing. I mean, it's the

623
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: one thing that scouts don't love about him. They love

624
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: the makeup of the kid, they love his speed. They

625
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: think he could be what they call a plus plus

626
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: defender in the outfield, which means that you're Gold Glove caliber.

627
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: They feel if he can hit that he could steal

628
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: forty to fifty bags a year, and that's a that's

629
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: a part of the sport which has kind of died.

630
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: But you know, for teams that can run, it makes

631
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: a big difference. The Boston Red Sox who won the

632
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: World Series. A lot of people think they're just a

633
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: matching team. They were up there and stolen bases as well,

634
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: so it can make a huge difference. Um And with

635
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the A's moving forward, they just came out with a

636
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: new project for a new baseball home that they want

637
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: to open in would be probably right around the time

638
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: where Kyler Murray's a you know, a pop out there

639
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: in the outfield. You know, that's what they're dreaming about.

640
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: But if I were him, I take a look at it.

641
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I really would. I would take a look at I

642
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: don't know what the harm is for him, you know,

643
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: and and it's happen to see your experience in baseball.

644
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: Have we ever seen anybody, I mean, I know Dion

645
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: did it. Have we ever seen anyone try and consider

646
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: doing both? I know Russell Wilson has gone back and

647
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: forth and kind of like on something. But have we

648
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: ever seen anybody legitimately try to be a true two

649
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: sport athlete at the highest level. Well, I mean Dion

650
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: did it for eight years where he played at least

651
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: parts of both bow did it for four, so you

652
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: know those are the biggest. But people forget about Brian

653
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: Jordan's right. Oh yeah, he was a damn good baseball

654
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: player for the St. Louis Cardinals in the Atlanta Braves.

655
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: He was really really good. And he's a guy that

656
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: that we kind of just cast off to the side.

657
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, can it be done? Yeah? But Dione will

658
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: be the first one to tell you baseball is hard, man.

659
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: They're both extremely hard. But if you can't dedicate to

660
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: your crap every day where you're hit, I mean, guys

661
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: take ten days off now in the baseball season before

662
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: they're packing the cages or they're back on a pitching mound.

663
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: Working on stuff. I mean, there's there's literally no off season, um,

664
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: and that's what makes you the best you can be

665
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: in the in in that particular sport and football it's

666
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: the same sort of way. But I would be shocked

667
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: if he tried to do both. It's interesting. It's interesting.

668
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of guys that have done, you know,

669
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: played both in college or whatever thing gone on, uh,

670
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: to to pursue baseball, and then after four or five

671
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: years where they can't figure it out, then they end

672
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: up trying to come back. I think Chad Hutchinson has one, right,

673
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Drew Henson is another one. Um. There have been several

674
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: of those. Well, I mean Ricky Ricky famously uh tried

675
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: to do both for a little bit there, Ricky Williams.

676
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: But it hasn't it hasn't. It hasn't been something we've

677
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: seen doing both at the same time. Some marginal was

678
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: a guy I gave a second round Grade two coming

679
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: out of Notre Dame, and he made the decision, probably

680
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: a very smart decision based on his career earnings, to

681
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: jump over into baseball. But man, I would love to

682
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: see that. We need our next Dion, our next Bo Jackson.

683
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: We need one of those guys now we do. And hey,

684
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: by the way, don't forget about a few others Chris

685
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: Winky oh, yes about going the other way, because usually

686
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: pe will give up baseball person and go back to football.

687
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow, I mean, no joke, I forget that one.

688
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: To be one of the most shocking baseball stories over

689
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: the last eighteen months has been the fact that Tim

690
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: Tebow is still riding buses ten hours to a minor

691
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: league game. How did he do last year? You know,

692
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: he actually was playing okay. Um, people look at the

693
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: batting average, and for people that aren't huge baseball fans,

694
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: batting average has kind of dipped in terms of the

695
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: statistical importance among baseball people. So there's a stat called OPS,

696
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: which is your slugging percentage plus you're on base percentage,

697
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: so it's the amount of times that you're on base.

698
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: You can add that to the amount of damage you do,

699
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: like doubles, triples, homers, and he did okay in those categories.

700
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: So uh. And the interesting part of the equation is

701
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: that his former agent at CIA, the guy named Brody

702
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: van Wagon and just got named the Mets GM. So interesting. Yeah, listen,

703
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: if the Mets are out of it in September, and

704
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow is still playing and he's healthy, unlike the

705
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: end of last year. I wouldn't be shocked to see

706
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: him get called up to the major leagues. By the way,

707
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: by the way you mentioned this, I'm gonna I'm gonna

708
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: quiz you right now your baseball knowledge. Um, I want

709
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: to see can you tell me and ops? What you

710
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: just says? Most important stat in baseball? Here? Who are

711
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: the top three guys in OPS in Major League Baseball

712
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: last year? Look at that? Lookie Betts is number two,

713
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: So you've got your that's one Trout. Trout's number one. Rose,

714
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: You're impressive right now. If you get number three, this

715
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: is a clean sweep, all right. You just have to

716
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: help me out with one thing. Give me American League,

717
00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: in American League. Just give me the number. Just give

718
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: me the Okay. His ops was he's number three on

719
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: the list one thousand, thirty one thousand. He had a

720
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: six point for war, which I'm still gotta figure that out. Buck,

721
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: We've got I gotta figure out how we can do

722
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: war with the base not j Martinez. It is Martinez,

723
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: isn't it? Okay? The war threw me off? How about that?

724
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: So I just think it's interesting because sometimes we say

725
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: in football, like what stats matter? What don't matter? But

726
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: when we say, you say, o PS to me is

727
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: the most important number. And and being kind of a

728
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: casual baseball fan, and everybody on planet Earth says Mike

729
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Trout is the best player in baseball, it marries up

730
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: with what you're saying there. I just want to give

731
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: you a little pat on the back. He is, By

732
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: the way, I want to just make this one comment.

733
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: I say it all the time on my Baseball show.

734
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: Baseball is the one sport where the best player doesn't

735
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: always end up in the postseason. I mean, and it

736
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: frustrates the hell out of me. Mike Trout has played

737
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: three playoff games in his career three that's one playoff

738
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: series against the three nine home runs and only get

739
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: seventy nine RBI. Can somebody get on base for this guy? Christmas? Yeah,

740
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: please help him out. All right, let's get back to football, Buck,

741
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: What do you got? No? I mean, I think I

742
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: think it's fascinating. I think I think the one thing

743
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: that I would quiz you on as a Cleveland Browns fan,

744
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: how nervous are you about the team falling apart down

745
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: the stretch like Nana? You're excited, like Nana, You're excited,

746
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: nanaate your gassed Nanda. There in the you asked, do

747
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: you believe they can finish? No, I don't believe that

748
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: they'll make the playoff, but I want to see that.

749
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: I still want it all. I'm craving Bucky. I want

750
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: to see them on the graphic the in the hunt.

751
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I just want when their name drops off. That might

752
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a SOLDI platter, just momentarily,

753
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: but this has been such a rewarding season. And I

754
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: know that there's probably a lot of people listening saying, God,

755
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: you are what a loser like? Your team could end

756
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: up winning five games, and you're like, what a rewarding season.

757
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: But when you understand from where it's amazing because the

758
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: Browns are like one of the probably top eight teams

759
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: to watch in the NFL now they really are on

760
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. I bet you Jersey Sales Baker Mayfield

761
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: is probably in the top three or four in the

762
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: league right now too. Yeah, And I I brought this up.

763
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: I did. I filled in for Charissa Thompson the other

764
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: week on on Game Day Prime, and I asked the guys,

765
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: the Browns coaching job will be the most attractive in

766
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: the off season out of all the possible gigs that

767
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be up. Where do you guys? I think

768
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: it would. I definitely think it would. I also think,

769
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: you know, look I I had and we've talked about

770
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: this all in the went up for the draft. Baker

771
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield has beencluded the best quarterback. I still believe in

772
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: Sam Donnard. I think when you look at the Jets

773
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: with some of the defensive pieces they have with the quarterback,

774
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: they both those organizations have tons of money, um, and

775
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: then I look at the makeup of that division with

776
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: Tom Brady getting towards the end. I think both those jobs,

777
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: I would say one A, one B. I think both

778
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: those are are gonna be really intriguing jobs that Jets

779
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: are gonna have a high pick as well. So I

780
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: think it's where it's rare you see job openings with

781
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: young talented quarterbacks and there's gonna be a couple of them. Yeah,

782
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland job could be tricky just because

783
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: we have seen the success that he said with Freddy Kitchens.

784
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: If you hire an offensive minded coach who was used

785
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: to being a play caller. What does that mean for

786
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens? What does that mean for Baker Mayfield? More importantly,

787
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: what does that mean for John Dorrison when it comes

788
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: to trying to make sure that his quarterback is protected?

789
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: Can they go that route and build upon what he's

790
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: been able to do this season? Or are they better, sir,

791
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: to find another coach who isn't necessarily an offensive mind

792
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: to allow the quarterback to grow. I think it's all

793
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: good questions, But I'll tell you this man with John

794
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: or see there, I know he's good. He goes what

795
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: did I tell? Hey? What did I tell? What did

796
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: I tell you? Before they hired him? You were on it,

797
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: you were all you were on it, and I was

798
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: it was like I was taking it from your brain

799
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: and putting it through my mouth on Cleveland Radio. I

800
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: was just all over. I kept saying that, but I

801
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: was giving you credit. I was like, I keep talking

802
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: to one of my guys at NFL Network and everybody said,

803
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: go get John Dorsey, and he is just He's made

804
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: a huge difference. I mean, look at the number of

805
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: guys just in this draft alone. You know there's four

806
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: guys that have made huge impacts. It Mayfield Lord. We

807
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: all looked at each other when they took Denzel Ward

808
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: and we're like, with Bradley Chubbs still on the board,

809
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: and Bradley Chubb has been great to the Denzel Wards,

810
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Chubb and Junard Avery, who was their

811
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: fifth rounder they picked from Memphis, has been really good.

812
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: Callaway Callaoy looked pretty good last week too, So they've

813
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: they've had some young players that are They're really excited.

814
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: He's he's the best. I've said it, and we've said

815
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: it on this podcast before it. I don't know that

816
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: there's a better evaluator than John Dorsey. We've talked about

817
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: it for a long time. Buck's known him forever, um,

818
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: and he's he's proving it in Draft number one. Now

819
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna go back and back it up with another

820
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: one and I think he will. Hey, by the way, um,

821
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: so Buck, if you've known him a long time. Who

822
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: has a more limited wardrobe? John Dorsey or Bill Belichick?

823
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: I think Dorsey's wardrobe is more limited. I believe it's

824
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: the same switch shirt every day. The only thing. The

825
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: only time it changes is maybe on game day. But

826
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: then as soon as the game is over, I think

827
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: he finds the comfort of putting the switchher back on.

828
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: The Only thing about Dorsey, I'll say, the sweatshirt stays

829
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: the same. I don't know this to be true, but

830
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: there is a rumor that it's also the same piece

831
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: of gum. He just takes it out, puts it behind

832
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: his feet, brings it back the next day. Twenty five

833
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: years one one stick of gum. That's my that's my theory.

834
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. It's not like we were in school.

835
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: He didn't stick it under the table over the desk

836
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: and keep it there. Oh that's so nasty. Hey, Rosy,

837
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: we we We appreciate your time, dude. This is something

838
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: we'll do again as we get towards it raft. It's

839
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: just fun to talk Cleveland Brown's football for what they're

840
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: doing on the field and not just what we're talking

841
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: about here in the off season. All right, good, by

842
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: the way, great job this year with Notre Dame football.

843
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: My oldest son goes to Notre Dame, which is out

844
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: in the valley, and I don't want to bring up

845
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: the loss because I know it probably still stays so close.

846
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: We're so close. Look at that, you guys, Notre Dame

847
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: High School. There you go, Hey, Roser, we appreciate it, buddy,

848
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. I'm gonna hit you up off air

849
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: to find out what my potter is gonna do with

850
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: these winter meetings. But that's another time. Another story from

851
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: man synder Guard in the mix. I know I'm getting excited.

852
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: Don't don't do that for me, see man, oh buckets.

853
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: It's fun to catch up with our buddy there, Chris Rose.

854
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: Just some uh, some fun conversation. The Normally it's kind

855
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: of a it's it can be depressing when you're talking

856
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: Brown's this time of year. Not so much this year,

857
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: even though the record is below five hundred. There's a

858
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: lot to be excited about, you could. You can definitely

859
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: hear it in his voice. You can hear the optimism,

860
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: been excitement in his voice. He has to be excited

861
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: because team is in the hunt. He talked about having

862
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: small goals. Just seeing his team listed on the graphic

863
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: for others in the hunt is a big one. But

864
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: the Browns, they have taken steps in the right direction.

865
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: They look like they're trending the right way. With Baker Mayfield,

866
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: and even Greg Williams. All right, let's let's jump into

867
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: these college picks. By the way, Uh, I'm the first place, Buck,

868
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: and I don't plan on giving it up. I've I've

869
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: a sent it to the top of the mountain, and

870
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: uh I think that's where I think that's where this

871
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: is gonna end up here. Oh really? Yeah? Confident, very confident.

872
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Some of that Baker Mayfield confidence is rubbing off on

873
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: me right now. I'm just hoping we're all picking the

874
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: same games, because if we all picked the same game

875
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: as that means I get to hold onto my lead.

876
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: Let's let's find out here. Let's start off with the

877
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: SEC championship game. Alabama Georgia number one, number four. This

878
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: is a two point special. You gotta go Obama, right, Buck,

879
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: They're not gonna lose this one. Well, I mean, shoot,

880
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody's going Bama is Bamabama, Bama, Bama. I guess I

881
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: might as well go Bama gonna Obama. That means I'm

882
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: safe on that one. We're all on the same boat. Oklahoma, Texas,

883
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: Lahoma number five, Texas fourteen. Texas already got him, Buck,

884
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: What do you think here? I know Texas already got

885
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 1: him but I'm looking at the seating like people aren't

886
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: excited about are you gonna flip it? I'm not flipping it.

887
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not with Olahoma. I'm going oh you

888
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: all the way. Yeah. I think Oklahoma gets the revenge

889
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: and it might be an impressive fashioner. I think they're

890
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna put some big points up on the board in

891
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: this game. Ohio State Northwestern Man. This feels a lot

892
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: like that year Ohio State blew the doors off Wisconsin

893
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: UH to make a statement and UH and get them

894
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: into the Final four. This feels very similar to that.

895
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Northwestern. They might be on the

896
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: receiving end of that this week. Yeah, they may be

897
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: on the receiving end of a brutal beat down. Because

898
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: this team appeared to hit his stride against the Michigan Wolverines.

899
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: I think he continues this week in the Big Ten

900
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: Championship game. This is unbelievable. We're picking the same teams, Clemson,

901
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: pit Man. It's a lopsided matchup. There's no way this

902
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: would be the upset of the of the season. If

903
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: Pitt somehow pulled this off. I'm going Clemson a couple

904
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: years ago Pitt beat Clemson down in Deaf Valley. I

905
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: don't think this is it. I don't think they have

906
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: to recipe the necessary ingredients to get it done. I'm

907
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: going with Clemson two years in a row. By the way,

908
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: Pitt has beat the number two team. They beat Miami

909
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: last year and they beat Clemston. That myavor team was

910
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: a fraud though Kent Well, they were still right too. Yeah,

911
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: that's you're right there. They weren't Clemson. They showed the

912
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: next week they weren't Clemson, no question, all right, and

913
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: then we got so we're all picking the same teams here.

914
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: So far? Does it continue? Washington? Utah? Utah has just

915
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: had so many injuries. Buck, I love their program this one.

916
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: I was a little bit tempted because I just believe

917
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: so much in Kyle Whittingham. Kyle Whittingham does not lose

918
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: big games very often. Uh. He's his bowl record is outstanding.

919
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: That's good. I gotta go Washington. Good he could focus.

920
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: He can focus on getting his team ready for the

921
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: Bull game. Because the Bag twelve championship is going to

922
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: the Washington Huskies. I'm with the Huskies. Yeah, we're all

923
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: going Washington. That one. We have all picked. I've never

924
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. We've all picked the same team.

925
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: All right, Memphis at u c F. U c F

926
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: has not lost in two years, but they did lose

927
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: their quarterback, a favorite of ours, Mackenzie Milton uh Buck,

928
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm going Memphis. Who are you going? I'm gonna go

929
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: with Memphis as well. Um they lost in McKenzie. Melton

930
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: really really hursted him. That u c F team is

931
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: just different. It's just different without him on the field.

932
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: But Kent Selly gold Memphis, Kent is not He's sticking

933
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: with the undefeated Golden Nights. Here you see f huh

934
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: and the only team, the only team in the state

935
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: of Florida that is playing a championship weekend this year.

936
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna believe in this UCF team, Josh Hype all

937
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: the old Miami head coach Randy Shannon is a decordinator.

938
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll rise to the occasion. This Memphis team

939
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: isn't as good as last year's team. There's no Anthony

940
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: Miller on this squad. I think u CFL show it's

941
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: a home game for them. If this is neutral site,

942
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: maybe you go Memphis, but it's in Orlando at Spectrum Stadium.

943
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: I think U c F will find a way to

944
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: stay undefeated. Yeah, we'll see. It'll be uh. Look, I've

945
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: I've rode with you U c F time and time again.

946
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: This is the one time I'm jumping off the bus.

947
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens here. All right, Fresno State at

948
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: Boise State. Boise State already got him. I think they

949
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: get him again. How about you, Buck? Yeah, back to bed.

950
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: Let's go Boise Boise again? Yeah, I'm Boise. Where is

951
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: this game played, Kent? This game is in the blue

952
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: field and Boise they're come on you guys. You and

953
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: Selly are both going with Fresno on the road. And

954
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: this one I watched. Didn't learn your lesson. I watched

955
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: every second of that game. Last time Fresno had a

956
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: big lead and blew it. I think they'll bounce back.

957
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: Their defense is a lot better than Boise. So I'll

958
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: go with Jeff Headford's Fresno State Bulldogsffords, there you go, alright,

959
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Northern Illinois, little maction here. I'm gonna be honest

960
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: with you, Buck. I know Buffalo has a has a

961
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: very talented quarterback. I do not know a whole lot

962
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: about Northern Illinois. Have not watched a lot of the

963
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: Huskies this uh this fall. I don't know about you,

964
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: but uh, I'm gonna switch my pick. I had an

965
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: I you on here switched Oh my gosh, I'm going Buffalo, man.

966
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: You look at his in Domino's Domino Dominoids A Domino played. Well,

967
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: everybody's going buffle, not everyone's going buffalo. I'm not giving

968
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: away a point on a Mac on the Maction title game.

969
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: All right? Uh? App State against Louisiana used to be

970
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: formerly known as Louisiana Lafiat, the Rage and Cajuns. I

971
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: think Apps already beat him once this year. We'll see

972
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: what happens with our coach if if Scott Cyderfields get

973
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: enough but Louisville or not, I don't think they'll be distracted.

974
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: I think app State wins. I'm going to I'm going

975
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: with a Mountaineers buck. You don't even nothing nothing on

976
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: the screen here, nothing? Oh there we go, a nice

977
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: little care package. Shout out to the equipment staff. APP State.

978
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: I haven't even responded to all the stuff that I've

979
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: got on Twitter about app State in North Carolina. We're

980
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: just gonna focus on. Yeah, I've already I've already caught

981
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: my shot away early on that one might regret task

982
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: at hand. Yeah, how where does it take the best

983
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: teams in the state of North Carolina and Florida or

984
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: app State in UCF. Right now, I'm beelivu. Hey, looks

985
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: don't don't. Don't think it's changing anytime soon. All right,

986
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: Stanford at Cal, Stanford Cal big game? Right? Uh, Stanford

987
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: has owned this forever. Bucky, You're going Stanford. That seems

988
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: like an easy call. Selly's going Stanford. But me and Kent,

989
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: there's a reason. There's a reason that we're at the

990
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: Pop Buck because we smell an upset and we just

991
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: go ahead and throw it out there. Cow fighting Wilcox.

992
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: They're getting done. Stanford gonna be a five lost team,

993
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: I believe for the second year in a row if

994
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: they lose this game. How about that? I mean, I

995
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: just think I don't recognize the Stanford team. They can't

996
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: run the ball, they don't play defense. I think there's

997
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: something to ownership, and I think Stanford believes that they Okay,

998
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: much like the Ohio State Buck ass owned the Michigan Wolverines.

999
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: You might be I think we see the similar thing.

1000
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: You might. You might pick up a game there. I'm

1001
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: already regrading that pick. Can't give me some confidence of

1002
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: why we're picking Cow here? Would you? They have a

1003
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: much better defense if you look at Cal. They've had

1004
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: the best defense in the Pac twelve this year, and

1005
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: that includes a Washington team that has a bunch of

1006
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: future first and second day NFL picks. And why is

1007
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: Wilcox not getting a little bit more love what he's

1008
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: done there? He took over a team that couldn't defend anybody,

1009
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: and these last change years makeup of that team. Yeah,

1010
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: they've played pretty well. I don't know why he's not

1011
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: maybe getting a few more looks at some of these

1012
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: open jobs. Interesting, we'll see if you can continue on

1013
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: when they're at Cal. All right, Buck, what's what's in

1014
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: the notebook? Uh? We can talking about draftnees. Top ten.

1015
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: We're looking at the top draftnees of all the teams

1016
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: that are only listening in the top ten. It's interesting

1017
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: because the draft needs may not match the supply. What

1018
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: do you do if you're in the top tune? Get out?

1019
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: All right? That's uh NFL dot com slash Bucky Brooks

1020
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: you can find Bucky's notebook each and every week. And

1021
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: then Buck, you're getting ready to a hop a bird
