1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the six d J. 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Bucky back with you and Buck. I would say, calm 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: before the storm here. NFL wise, we've finished the preseason. 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: We got a week off this week and then a 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: week from Thursday. I heard these things count. Yeah, they 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: do count, and we should be excited about it because 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: the preseason ended up the way that we thought like 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: a lot of teams were able to kind of finish 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: up without their stars getting hurt, able to go kind 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: of start the starting line with their guys, and so 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: we get chance to see good football from the jump. Yeah. 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're with me on this, but 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: you know we're talking about what do you want to 15 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: talk about today? In the preseason just wrapped up? Do 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: we kind of summarize it and you know, stars of 17 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: the preseason, you know, breakout teams. What did you see? 18 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: And then I thought I wouldn't be genuine to who 19 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: we are because we've said all along the preseason is 20 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: a liar. Don't believe it. You know, we take in 21 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: what you can see and you do some maybe some 22 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: individual evaluations, but team wise, you learn nothing. Um, So 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: let's spring forward on today's episode. We've got some great topics. 24 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about intriguing divisions. We're looking forward to 25 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: seeing there's a storyline I think we're gonna be able 26 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: to uncover here about week one, which we're gonna get 27 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: to and then we always have to do a position battle. 28 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: So we had another quarterback job that was decided since 29 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: we last met, so we'll get to that one as well. 30 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: But let's start with divisions because I want to spring 31 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: forward looking at the start of the season. I know 32 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: the a f C West, it seems like it's taken 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: up all the oxygen in the room in the off 34 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: season with what's going on, But I don't know if 35 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: that's the most intriguing division in the NFL coming ahead. 36 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: What what? I'll let you jump on this one. Here, 37 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: your most intriguing division for the upcoming season, Well, I'm 38 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: gonna go to the NFC East. And the reason there's 39 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: a lot of intrigue is because you have the Dallas 40 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys to fill if Eagles, the New York Giants, and 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders all dealing with different situations. They couldn't 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: make them viable contends for the division crown. So when 43 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: you look at the Dallas Cowboys, they seemed that has 44 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: owned a division whenever Dak Prescott has been healthy, but 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: out he takes on a shorthanded Dallas Cowboys Union Tyron 46 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: Smith is unavailable with the injury for we don't know 47 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: how long. You have some defections over the off season. 48 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: You don't have a Mari Cooper because you trade them away. 49 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: So from an offensive standpoint, is not the same version 50 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: that we've seen lead the league. And then you have 51 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: their rivals in Philadelphia Eagles, who have assembled an all 52 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: star team. They're loaded, they did a great job in 53 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: free agency and trades house I'm ready coming over, a 54 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: j Brown coming over. They drafted the Kobe Dan and 55 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Davis. So now these defense looks like it's ready 56 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: to go. They look like they can be viable contenders. 57 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: The Commanders have Carson Wentz that gives them stability maybe 58 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: at the biggest position. And then the New York Jazz 59 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: have a creative minded Brian Daboll and Week Martindale that 60 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: you make them better. So I think it's a very 61 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: competitive division and one that I think it's very very 62 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: difficult to handicap right now based on all the TERMO 63 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: with the change. Yeah, you know what, I was kind 64 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: of looking at it, and I agree with there's a 65 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: very intriguing division. I'm gonna give you another one here 66 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: in just a minute. But when you kind of go 67 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: through these teams, Dallas, I think you mentioned it. I 68 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: think they're a little bit top heavy. You know, if 69 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: you if you keep those stars healthy, I think you know, 70 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: you could go with them to to go ahead and 71 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: repeat in this division. But the Tyrant Smith thing is huge. 72 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: You're already you know, concerned about the offensive line depth 73 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: coming into the season, and now you lose a Hall 74 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: of Famer and Tyron Smith for a major chunk of 75 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: the season. So that bothers me. I think Philly has 76 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: a little more depth. Um you know. I think we 77 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: talked early in the summer and looking at these divisions 78 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: and Cowboys, but to me, that was somewhat dependent on 79 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the top heavy stars staying healthy. They've already lost one. 80 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: I think Philly's deeper in the trenches, um, I know, 81 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: and talking to people there, they were like, hey, whatever, 82 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: whatever stock you can buy in Jalen hurts By at all, 83 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: like they from being a little bit skeptical, I would 84 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: say in the building maybe, you know, cautiously optimistic in 85 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: the past, not anymore. Buck. I feel like they are 86 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: They are believers all throughout that organization that this is 87 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a big year for Jalen Hurts. Yeah. I 88 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: think it's easy about into him. And I've said this 89 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: on multiple occasion. He reminds me a lot of Dak Prescott, 90 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily playing style, but the best traits that he 91 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: has are those that you don't see. Leadership, ability, intelligence, toughness, 92 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 1: his ability to communicate with his teammates. All that stuff 93 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: matters at that position. And he's a diligent worker, so 94 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: he has put in the time and the effort to 95 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: improve as a passer. I think we'll see all those 96 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: things play out. Yeah, So we talked about those two teams, 97 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: and then to me the other two I just wrote 98 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: question marks and I don't know what you're gonna get 99 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: from Washington. I know they should be good up front. 100 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: You know, Carson Wentz got to take take him as 101 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: he is. To me, you know, don't don't get caught 102 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: up in him being super super efficient. I don't think 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: that's who he is um. But you know, Gosh, by 104 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: the way, prayers up for Brian Robinson that that was 105 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: a scary situation over She's over the weekend. Uh, he 106 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: was shot while in his car. Um Fortunately looks like 107 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay. So that was a real scary 108 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: situation there. But I just don't know what you're gonna 109 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: get with Washington. I like some of their skill talent. Uh, 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: they should be good on that defensive line. I don't 111 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: love their offensive line that that scares me a little bit. 112 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: And then with the Giants, you know, can they ball 113 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: do it again? You know Josh Allen, you looked at 114 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: the growth that he showed during his time with day Ball. 115 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: Can he do the same thing with Daniel Jones. That's 116 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna be you know, that's gonna be a major challenge. 117 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: He's not gonna get to the Josh Allen level, but 118 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: if he can show just you know, marked improvement from 119 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: where he was, I think you'd feel good about going forward. 120 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: At least if you're the Giants that hey, we got 121 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: we got our guy. They need to figure that out 122 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: this year on him, Yeah, they have to figure it out. 123 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: I would say Dania Jones has a ton of talent, 124 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: very athletic, big time arm talent. He is flashed at 125 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: times in his career, but what we haven't seen is 126 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: consistency and the stability to allow him to be a 127 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: consistent player. Hopefully Brian day Ball will bring in a 128 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: system that allows him to play to his strengths. If 129 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: he gets that consistent what I call schematic plan each week. Now, 130 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: it's so Dania Jones to play like a top ten player, uh, 131 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: like he was drafted to be. We'll see. But a 132 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: lot of pressures on Daniel Jones, a lot of eyes 133 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: on him if he's going to be the quarterback of 134 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: the future in New York, no doubt. A big year 135 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: for them. All Right, that's a good division. I'm gonna go. 136 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna switch it up. I'm gonna go with my 137 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: most intriguing division as the a f C South. This 138 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: is a division you know really well. Um doing your 139 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: work with the Jags and being close with that football team. 140 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: That's intriguing. Just from the standpoint of Trevor Lawrence. And 141 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: and what type of growth do we see from him? 142 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: Won one last year right first overall? Pick all the hype? 143 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: Can he grow? Can we see major steps forward. I'm 144 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: not talking about a little baby step forward. This should 145 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: be a big leap forward with Doug Peterson. UM again, 146 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: might not have any pure ones around him, but he's 147 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: got a lot of twos and a lot of threes, 148 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of guys you can you know, you 149 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: can work with, you can win with. So, Uh, they're 150 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: an intriguing team you go through the rest of that division. Uh, 151 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, Tennessee and Indianapolis are both playoff caliber teams. 152 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: We know that Tennessee, We've seen it and I said 153 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: preseason is a liar, I get it. But Malik Willis man, 154 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: he just kind of lurking, you know. So if they 155 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: don't get rolling or they are up to expectation, that's 156 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: gonna be attempting button to push to try and get 157 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: him into the mix. So that's an intriguing thing in Indianapolis, 158 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, with Matt Ryan coming in, Uh, seems to 159 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: be a lot of hype, a lot of buzz there. 160 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: I think they're one of the more physical teams. UM. 161 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: Obviously we know what they do with Jonathan Taylor in 162 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: that run game. I'm curious to see some of these young, 163 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: bigger receivers. They have um, how they step up and 164 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: the growth we see with them. So there's a lot 165 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: of intrigue. And then Houston's the last one. I think 166 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: Davis Mills is kind of, like we said last year, 167 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: kind of quietly inserting himself as the quarterback of the 168 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: next decade for this football team. It doesn't get talked about. 169 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: There was low expectations last year. He played as well 170 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: as any rookie quarterback um and everything that you hear 171 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: out of there seems to be real positive coming into 172 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: this season, and he's been really impressive. Like after he 173 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: took over for the second time last year, we saw 174 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: him really put on a solid performance and the numbers 175 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: speak for themselves. We've seen him continue to build upon 176 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: debt in the preseason. And it's funny because the Texans 177 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: have kind of been picked it forward and kind of 178 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: been mocked as like a laughing stock franchise based on 179 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: all the stuff that was happening away from the field, 180 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: But when you look at the on field product. I 181 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: know it's the preseason, but it's been very, very solid 182 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: And one thing I do know from Weston last year, 183 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna play hard. They played hard for Lovely Smith 184 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: on defense, they had to go to the rest of 185 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: the team. But if this quarterback continues to show the 186 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: things that he's shown to this point, yeah, you can 187 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: be a little bullish on the Houston Texas because they 188 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: may have their quarterback of the future already in place. 189 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: And we look at it from a scouting standpoint, Davis 190 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Mills were to be successful, and you look at some 191 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: of the success that Kyler Murray's had, and there's some 192 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: other examples we could point to. But we've long said 193 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: sample size is a huge part of the evaluation in college. 194 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: You want these guys parcels one of what thirty starts. 195 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, we see guys. You know that there was 196 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: a long track record of guys that played a ton 197 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: of football having success, and then there was some risks. 198 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: You know, Troubisky would be another one, right, didn't play 199 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: a lot in your starter. Let's see if he can 200 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: resurrect his career in Pittsburgh. But David S. Mills, I'm 201 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: almost ten ten twelve starts. Yeah, there's not a whole 202 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: lot to go off of. But five star kid coming 203 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: out of high school, size, arm strength, intelligence, checked all 204 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: those boxes. We just didn't see much of it. That 205 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: that can have a little ripple effect going forward in 206 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: the draft if we don't have to be so stuck 207 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: on sample size. Yeah, that's a big thing. And so 208 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: it's not only him, but let's see how Trey Lands plays, 209 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: because Trey Lance also, that's another one who limited limited experience, 210 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: And so the thing will be if these guys play well, 211 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: did it becomes down to does your organization have a 212 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: great developmental plan for a young quarterback who hasn't played 213 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: a ton? Do you have the right whisperers in his 214 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: ear to help him kind of max out his potential. So, yeah, 215 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: there are a lot of eyes on David's Mills and 216 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: Trey Lance and some of these other guys who have 217 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: had a lot of experience, because it will change the 218 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: way that we make these decisions on guys in the 219 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: draft because the one thing we've seen, talent certainly gives 220 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: you an opportunity and are some talent to guys that 221 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: are always available in every class, but you worry about 222 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: the other stuff. Davis Mills could be a prime example 223 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: a bet on the talent because the talent they give 224 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to be a goal I think it's 225 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: a combination of betting on the talent in the person. Right, 226 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: if you believe in the person, the work ethic, the 227 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: toughness to leadership, and then you have the skill set, 228 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: maybe you can kind of see into the future a 229 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: little bit, even though you don't have a lot of 230 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: evidence to go off of. So that's an intriguing storyline 231 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: scouting wise, as we head towards the season, there's a 232 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: very intriguing storyline week one though. We've found it. We've 233 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: found the theme. It's going to be talked about it 234 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: as we run up to that week. Um, I'll tell you, 235 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: We'll just we'll give it to you right after this, 236 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: all right, Buck, If we're looking for a theme for 237 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: week one of the season, I think I'm going revenge. 238 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: Man like, it is a revenge theme. And so we've 239 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: got three storylines we're gonna hit. And there's more than that, 240 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: trust me, But these are the three big ones I 241 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: think of, Uh. Starting first of all, Baker Mayfield. Buck, 242 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: we've been around Baker. We we gotta how he's wired. 243 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: I don't care what he says. This is a super 244 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: Bowl level moment for him in terms of where his 245 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: focus is going to be. And I expect him to 246 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: play off the charts against the Cleveland Browns. Yeah. Normally 247 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: in the business we always talking about his business, not personal, 248 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: but for Baker Mayfield is personal and a lot of business. 249 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: And so for Baker Mayfield, this is a great opportunity 250 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: for him to show the Browns what they may be 251 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: missing with him being on the other side. This was 252 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: a guy that led the Browns out of a playoff drop, 253 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: got him to the playoffs, won a playoff game, did 254 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of good things, but for whatever reason, it 255 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: didn't work for Baker Mayfield in the locker room. When 256 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: now he's been the Carolina Panthers, there's really a great 257 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: job and win the quarterback competition and it really brief 258 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: and limited time, and now he's won over his teammates. 259 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: If the Baker Mayfield that we've always seen when his 260 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: back is against the wall shows up, the Carolina pants 261 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: are gonna play well and they're gonna really right handy 262 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: to the Browns. I'm excited to see what this game 263 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: looks like when they play it out. Yeah, and he knows, 264 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: he knows the personnel there, he knows what he's gonna 265 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: be looking at. Schematically, I think he knows Obviously, you 266 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: gotta get away from Miles. Garrett Baker's excellent when he's 267 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: getting outside the pocket, moving that launch point. They're gonna 268 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: have to do that. Um. But I'm telling you, man, 269 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: like I just I've been around this dude enough and 270 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: see him and seeing him, I'm telling you he is 271 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: going to I'll be shocked if he doesn't rise to 272 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: this moment and have a monster game against his former team. 273 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see what happens there. Uh, that's revenge. 274 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: Uh storyline number one. Let's go to number two on 275 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: the revenge storyline. Bucket's Ah, I believe it's another quarterback. 276 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: Is that what you're thinking here? Yeah, I'm thinking I'm 277 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: thinking about Russell Wilson taking on the CLF Seahawks. In 278 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: the opener, Russell Wilson all that cous was missed the Seahawk. 279 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you just think about every sign that he 280 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: said hawk. He's like, go Hawks, and he was like 281 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: the extension of Pete Carroll for the longest time. But 282 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: now you're hearing these things where Russell felt like maybe 283 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't supported enough to do the things that he 284 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: wanted to do. Offensively finds his way to the Denver Broncos. 285 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett has openly talked about the partnership that they 286 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: have and being able to entrust this offense to Russell. 287 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: For Russell, I think this is an opportunity for him 288 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: to silence some of his critics who said that he 289 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: won his Super Bowl on the backs of the defense 290 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: and a running game. Now, let's see if he can 291 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: lead a franchise that is his franchise. Can you lead 292 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: them over the top in a very competitive division loaded 293 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: with quarterback play? To me, this is the biggest challenge 294 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson would take on in his career. How 295 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: does the veteran respond? I think everyone is tuning in 296 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: to see that storyline. All right, I'm curious how you 297 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: would how you'd answer this question. Better, better offensive group, 298 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: take the quarterbacks out of it. The team that he 299 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: left or the team that he joined. Obviously the team 300 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: that he left because DK metcalf and telling the locket 301 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: to me are terrific. The only thing is I think 302 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: Javont Williams is special and he has a chance, But 303 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: right now, I just think the experience of the Seahawks. 304 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: The Seahawks will receivers have played at a higher level 305 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: than the Broncos have, and so I think it's more 306 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: potential than production. Right now, I would say the Seahawks, 307 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: we we'll see because we haven't seen this unit for 308 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: the Broncos played together. Yeah, I mean I think the Broncos, 309 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: I would say, have a greater collection. If you're gonna 310 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: go kind of like the sum you add all those 311 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: different pieces up, They've got a lot of good pieces. Um. 312 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: But if you're talking the high end talent, the premier guys, 313 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean I think you. I think I would take 314 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: the top dudes with with Seattle. You know we're throwing 315 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: the football too. I think Javonte I'll take over anybody 316 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: to have running the rock there in Seattle. Seattle's got 317 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: a new new look offensive line, which so far, so good. 318 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: I know preseason again season is a liar, but Charles 319 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: Cross looks good, Abe Lucas looks good. Um, they might 320 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: hit on something there with those two linemen. But uh yeah, 321 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm not as confident. This is crazy to say when 322 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: you consider it's a Super Bowl champion. I'm more confident 323 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: in Baker having a big game against Cleveland than I 324 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: am with Russ having a big game against Seattle. Am 325 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: I crazy, but that's that's kind of how I look 326 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: at that. Uh well, I think I think the thing 327 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: that you're worried about the two things one, uh the 328 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks no Russells so well, they knew what gave 329 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: him problems the last two years. They also know where 330 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: he is when it comes to his athleticism. Maybe the 331 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: athletic decline to Nathaniel Hackett first game as a head coach, 332 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot of different things going on when you're trying 333 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to not only manage the entire team, but also called 334 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: the place. That is a lot that's a lot of 335 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: transition all happening at once. So if you talked about 336 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: being able to cast the Denver Broncos at the right time, 337 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: this is the perfect time for the Seattle Shaws to 338 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: take on their old quarterback. Can I give you one 339 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: thing to look at here Um in this game? Russ 340 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: And we've talked about it throughout his whole career, his 341 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: his ability to kind of create those magic plays, those 342 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: magical moments, the escapability Um not necessarily just running and 343 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: taking off of buying time and making big time throws. 344 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: We've talked about it with other athletic quarterbacks. Now he 345 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: can win in the pocket too. He's grown and evolved 346 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: into that. But as he gets a little bit older, 347 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: we see a little bit of a slow down there 348 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: because he you know, maybe you don't have quite that 349 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: suddenness to be able to get out of some of 350 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: those messes that he's been able to get out of. 351 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: That's something I'm keeping an eye on with him. I 352 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: think we've already seen it because he hasn't run as 353 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: much the last couple of years. And DJ my biggest 354 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: worry and concerned about him in his offense. If you 355 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: take away the superpowers that he had where you could 356 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: run around and make all of these impro improvisational plays, 357 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: now he has to play from the pocket, and that 358 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: requires you to stay on schedule and throw in rhythm. 359 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: That's never really been the strong suit of his game. 360 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: And so at thirty three thirty four, can he change? 361 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: Can he become a rhythmic passer at this stage of 362 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: his career. That will be the thing that he and 363 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hack will have to work on because he is 364 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: going to have to need to play. He needs to 365 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: play like that with his athletics, says m Beginning to dimension. 366 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: I was hoping that, uh, instead of let's ride, he 367 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: would just go with regulators mound up and then we 368 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: could have had we could have that. Oh well, we're 369 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: stuck with Let's ride after every interview for the rest 370 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: of his time in Denver. All right, last rematch, uh 371 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: kind of revenge storyline to keep an eye on. I 372 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: was there one of the best football games I've ever 373 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: seen in my life. I mean to be honest, I'm 374 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: not overselling it, but the Raiders Chargers game to end 375 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: the year. I think about all those fourth down conversions 376 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert had late in that game. It wasn't enough. 377 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Derek Carr led the Raiders on that overtime drive. We remember, 378 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, the Brandon's Daily burned the time out. Some thought, oh, 379 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: maybe the Raiders are gonna play for a tie. I 380 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: still think they were gonna try and win the ball 381 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: game no matter what. Uh they get Carlson field goal 382 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: when the games send them and the Pittsburgh Steelers to 383 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: the postseason sent the Chargers home. The Chargers opened up 384 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: with the Raiders at home. I don't know if J. C. 385 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: Jackson is gonna be playing this game, Buck, I'd be 386 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: a little bit doubtful on that based off him just 387 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: having a little procedure done. But there's a lot of 388 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: new toys for both these teams to show off as 389 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: we get that a f C West cranked up Week 390 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: one Division game, It's gonna be fun. Yeah, I think 391 00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: this is a big game for both teams. And I 392 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: know how how people will say that, how can we 393 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: want to be a big game because there's so much 394 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: hype around both of these franchises that you want to 395 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: get off to a fast start. For the Chargers in particular, 396 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: there are people that expect this team to overtake the 397 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: Chiefs as the division champion, and so you want to 398 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: see what does it look like coming out of the gate. Offensively, look, 399 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna be fantastic because Justin Herbert is a superstar. 400 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: But defensively, what does it look like with Joey Bosa 401 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: and Khalil Mack freshing off the edge? J C. Jackson 402 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: is available that which you will see him and Derwin James, 403 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: and so this team wants to get off to a 404 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: fast start. And for the coach Brandon State in the 405 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: second year, what does he learned from the lessons that 406 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: he had to really take in his rookie season. Let's 407 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: see how he applies some of those lessons it becomes 408 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: a better coach in the sophomore season. All right, here's 409 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: my question to you. Um, this is gonna be the 410 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: key to the whole game. I think whatever the answer 411 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: is to this question will determine who wins it. In 412 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: again seventeen game season. It's a long one. Not a 413 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: make or break game obviously by any stretch, but it 414 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: is gonna be a good, uh, kind of barometer for 415 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: where these two teams are. So here's the question, and 416 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: I'll see if you can answer it for me. Buck, 417 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: Can the Raiders block the Chargers? When you look at 418 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: the Raiders offensive line adds it's currently constructed, and you 419 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: look at Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa and Sebastian Joseph 420 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: Day and Morgan Fox and all the guys are gonna 421 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: throw at him. Oh, paper, doesn't look like they'll be 422 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: able to block them. Uh. The only way that that 423 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: you certainly can hope if you're a Raiders fan, is 424 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: that you can run the football early and maybe use 425 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: some play acts and stuff. Otherwise it's gonna have to 426 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: be a spread and shred game where you go empty 427 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: NBA the backfield and get the ball out of Derek 428 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: Carr's hands. But now it's a huge challenge because the 429 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: Charges front line is massive. Uh. They have great uh 430 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: technique and skill when you think about Khalil Mack and 431 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa and then they just have enough players that 432 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: they could rotate in to make like difficult for young quarterback. Yeah. Well, 433 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun game again, looking forward to 434 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: that one being an attendance for it should be a 435 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: fun year. Uh. In the a f C West and Buck, 436 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: we've been looking at the quarterback position and some of 437 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: these quarterback battles uh really uh, really intriguing. One interesting 438 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: one took place up in Seattle and it is over 439 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is named Gino smith as the starter. I 440 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: know Drew Lock missed some time that probably factored in that, 441 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: but hey, hats off to Gino smith Man. He's been 442 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: around a long time. He got his opportunity to try 443 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: and go win a job and he did it. Yeah, 444 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: he did. He was able to hold on to the 445 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: job and he had he had started because he knew 446 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: desisted me to play for the He played for Pete 447 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: Carroll for a couple of years. Uh, the players had 448 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: played games in which you know has had started. He 449 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: had read sted a win or two. So look, he 450 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: he just has to take care of the football the 451 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: way that the Sattle Seahawks want to play. They don't 452 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: necessarily want a playmaker at the position. They would love 453 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: to have one. They just need a manager and so 454 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: in managing the game, not turning the ball over, making 455 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: smart and sound decisions given the running game and the 456 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: defense an opportunity to win the game. And oh, by 457 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: the way, if you have an opportunity to make up 458 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: play the DK Metcalf and Tyler Luckett take advantage of it. 459 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: If he does those things, the Sattle Seahawks will being games. 460 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: I believe that Seahawks feel like if they can get 461 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: games into the fourth quarter, they'll find a way to 462 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: win those games. Because last year all the breaks went 463 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: the other way. They feel like some of those breaks 464 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: that go their way this time around. We talked about 465 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: it earlier in the show. To the young offensive line, 466 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: those young offensive tackles, so far, so good. I've done 467 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: a nice job. I think Gino, you're gonna kind of 468 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: know where he is more of the time, he's gonna 469 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: sit back there and just kind of be the distributor. 470 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: I think it's cool though for other guys, you know 471 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: they've been the league for a while, that just hey, 472 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: don't don't accept, you know, your lifetime fate as a 473 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. You know, even that this guy was a 474 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: high pick, a ton of ability, it didn't happen for 475 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: him with the Jets. He's kind of he's bounced around 476 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: a little bit. But now he's getting an opportunity. Go 477 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: make the most of it. Man like this, who's to 478 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: say Gino Smith can't start for the next you know, 479 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: six seven years and totally change the trajectory of his career. 480 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: So I always like it when you say, okay, I'm 481 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: gonna try and what we say, dominate the role that 482 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: you're in. Do as well as you can as the backup. 483 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: But then when you get your opportunity, man, go make 484 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: the most of it. Good for him, Yeah, good for him. 485 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: And it is one of those story DJ when you 486 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: talk about always staying ready, and so he was ready, 487 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: He's prepared, he waited for his time, and he had 488 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: his opportunity and he took advantage of it. Now, he 489 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: has to continue to play well to hold onto the job. 490 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: But hass off to him for being able to be 491 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: the QB one for the Ctle Seahawks. And there would 492 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: be a lot of conversation if and when the nine 493 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: has released Jimmy Garoppolo, will he make his way up 494 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: to the Pacific Northwest? Geno Smith Drew like Geno Smith 495 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: in particularly, he can't worry about that.
