1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move to six d J. 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: Bucky back with you, and we have week one completely 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: in the books. After the Seattle Seahawks, I kind of 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: spoiled the homecoming there for Russell Wilson last night in 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: a bizarre ending, which we're gonna get to that game 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: and just a moment here, Buck, We've got a lot 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: of ground want to cover today. They want to hit 9 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: on Trede Lance panic or no panic. Um. That's an 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: interesting conversation. The Buffalo bill is what they're doing. It's 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: a little bit unique. And we're gonna look ahead early 12 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: this week because we've got some monster games coming up 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: this weekend, including Thursday's Chargers in Chiefs. How you know, 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 1: Bud Man, I'm good, uh stateably watched that Monday night 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: football game, but had a good time. And after watching 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: a game, I've just decided, after Week one, we know nothing. 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: After watching all the preseason, all the preseason stuff, all 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: the study, all the previews, all the hot takes, you 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: really don't know what a team is and so you 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: kick it off for real, and even then you won't 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: know more about your team and toil after they played 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: that first month. Yeah, I think there's a lot of 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: conclusions being drawn right now. That's probably a little bit 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: premature on that front. So uh, I think people need 25 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: to take a step back and and uh and let's 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: see how this plays out, like you said, over the 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: first month here and we'll know a little bit more 28 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: about these teams. Last night, I guess let's begin at 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: the end. What the heck is Nathaniel Hackett doing at 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: the end of that ballgame? Block, You're gonna settle for 31 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: a sixty four yard field Are you kidding me? Fourth 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: and five? What are you doing? Look, I don't I 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: don't know. Like, so, I'm looking at the game and 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm watching it play out, and I'm trying to figure 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: out are they going up tempo? Are they not? Are 36 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: they trying to figure out what play they're gonna run? 37 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: Oh that the clock is still going So now I'm like, oh, 38 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: they don't know what They're gonna do, something called the 39 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: time out and get the right play in. But then 40 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: to settle for a sixty four yard field goal debt 41 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: by no means it's an easy kick. Um. I would 42 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: just like to think that if Russell is what we 43 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: think he is and what led you to give up 44 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: everything that you gave up to get him, then you 45 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 1: gotta let him win or lose it. At that point 46 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: fourth and five, you gotta have a play and allow 47 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: your quarterback to make a play. You can't take the 48 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: easy way out or the way out that they took 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: last night where they could put it on the place kicker. 50 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: Now you paid someone two hundred plus million dollars, you're 51 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: putting the ball in his hands, and you're saying, Brussel, 52 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: go forget a way to win this game for us. Yeah, 53 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: they went out and bought a brand new tuxedo, and 54 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the first time they got invited to a ball they 55 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: showed they just left the tuxedo hanging in the closet, 56 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: put some jeans and a T shirt on, Like, what 57 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: are you doing? That's why you paid all that money 58 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: for that dude to be able to go out there 59 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: and make plays like he's done his entire career in 60 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: this type of situation. It's a bizarre. It's just just 61 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: really poor how they managed the end of that ball game. Um, 62 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: when you look at the Broncos, though again I'm not 63 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: gonna overreact. I'm not gonna panic here. They've got weapons. 64 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: They did move the ball up and down, had some 65 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: turnovers down there in the red zone. They can get 66 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: that fix, get that corrected. But I thought the other 67 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: side of it with the Seahawks. You know, Pete Carroll 68 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: team is gonna play hard, and they're gonna be tough, 69 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: they're gonna be physical, they're gonna scrap, and I think 70 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: he gets to kind of reclaim the identity of this 71 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: team a little bit. And that's not a shot at 72 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, but I think this kind of goes back 73 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: to when Pete Carroll's at his best when he has 74 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of young guys, people that maybe uh aren't 75 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: household names and and they can kind of play that 76 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: kind of hunter role, uh instead of being the hunted. 77 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: I think Pete Carroll's at his best in that spot. Yeah, DJ, 78 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: I believe the entire offseason for Pete Carroll was about 79 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: trying to get his team back. UH. He probably acquiesced 80 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: and bent on some of the things that he believes 81 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: the team should be built upon to really make Russell 82 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: Wilson happy in the last few years. And so Nanda 83 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has gone. He can get back to playing 84 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: the style of football that he wants to play. We 85 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: know it's gonna be defense dominated, run heavy, with the 86 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: quarterback playing more as a manager than a playmaker. Don't 87 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Let's see what it looks like 88 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and we will win games. And when 89 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: you have personnel who believes in that style, you can 90 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: win games. And so Geno Smith is what Geno Smith is, 91 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: and we'll see what it looks like for him the 92 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: rest of the year. But Geno Smith believes in how 93 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: the Seahawks are playing, and if you get enough by 94 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: in you certainly can win because everyone is going to 95 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: do what they're supposed to do in this kind of system. 96 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned, don't panic if you're a Bronco fan and 97 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: they didn't move the ball up and down the field. 98 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: The one thing I would say, and I think we 99 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: talked about this in a previous episode, do you see 100 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: the same kind of urgency and juice from Russ that 101 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: that maybe we saw when he was younger, Because that 102 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: that that looks he's missing that aspect that was game 103 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: well DJ. The big thing for me with Russell Wilson 104 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: is not that I don't think Russell Wilson is a 105 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: good player. Is as he ages and as his legs 106 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: go away, does he have the wherewithal to win strictly 107 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: from the pocket. So much of his success has been 108 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: tied to his legs and athleticism, not necessarily as a runner, 109 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: but as a guy that played on the edges, could 110 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: extend plays, could move around and make pass first as 111 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: miss and those extended plays led to big plays. When 112 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: now you're asking a guy who hasn't really played on 113 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: schedule to play on schedule, And I just don't know 114 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: if in your mid thirties you can be a guy 115 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: that play on schedule when you've never had to play 116 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: on schedule for most of your career. Yeah, well, let's see. 117 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: Let's see what it looks like again. They didn't move 118 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. They can limit those turnovers 119 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: um and that'll that will solve a lot of their 120 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: problems there. But a big win for the Seattle Seahawks 121 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: and kind of a a little bit of a slog 122 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: their seventeen sixteen, just the way Pete Carroll likes that 123 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: they get out of there with a win. I want 124 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: to change gears here and get the trade Lance. Because 125 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: we mentioned how you can't draw too many conclusions right now, 126 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: let me let me add a little bit onto that. 127 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: If you were playing in a monsoon and the first 128 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: time the team has been handed to you, and George 129 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: Kittle is not playing and you're not running the ball 130 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: like you traditionally have run the ball, maybe let's not 131 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: get carry the way that Trey Lance didn't look fantastic 132 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: in that football game. I went back and charted it 133 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: and watched it. Buck Um. He had some nice throws 134 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: on some deep overs before the monsoon took over. Um. 135 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: Some of the issues that he had are easily correctible, Like, 136 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: for instance, you're playing and wet were at weather and 137 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: they were trying to throw some smoke screens and he 138 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: didn't get a grip on the football, so you see 139 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: the ball kind of float out of his hand. He 140 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: missed some of those. He had a handful of drop passes. Um, 141 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: you know design quarterback runs he had. I went through 142 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: and there were nine runs. I didn't get eight carries, 143 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: but nine runs. So they had a couple of quarterback powers, 144 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: couple zone reads, a couple of quarterback draws. There was 145 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: a sneak in there as well. But I'm watching this 146 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: game and I'm watching how this unfolds, and I'm saying, Okay, 147 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: let's get George Kittle back. Um, let's play in a 148 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: little bit normal weather, and then let's crank up the 149 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: runs a little bit. You you talked about Jalen Hurts 150 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: the other day. What do you have? Fifteen carries, eighteen 151 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: carries something like that the other day? Yeah, trade Lance, 152 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: that's the blueprint right out until he can get a 153 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: little bit more comfortable. Let's let's use him more. Let's 154 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: run him more. And when I look at his mistakes 155 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: and some of the things, like they dropped his safety 156 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: down and robbed and that was his pick. He didn't 157 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: see the late rotation and they got him that just playing. 158 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: He just hasn't played. So when you get that, that 159 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: that catalog of reps and you start seeing things, you know, 160 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: if not just for the first time, he's gonna be fine. 161 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: I just want everybody to kind of just slow down 162 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: on this this panic that Oh my gosh, they're gonna 163 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: go right to Jimmy Garoppolo. They tried to give Jimmy 164 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Garoppolo away for for ham Sandwich. They couldn't get anybody 165 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: to give him one. Yeah, I think there's a lot 166 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: of that, and I think sometimes DJ did a little 167 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: internal pressure that may impact his play. Jimmy Garoppolos day, 168 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: he's well aware of jim Garoppolo being behind him. He 169 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: understands that now it may change, uh the least that 170 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: he has. But if I'm a San Francisco forty nine 171 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: is what I want to do is make sure that 172 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: I build this office of around tree Lance and make 173 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: sure that he's comfortable more runs. I think he can 174 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: do so much more in the running game and still 175 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: protect him of more runs. Expands the running package, allows 176 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: the defense to have to guard more stuff, and then 177 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: it makes the passing game easier. I just think the 178 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: deniers are still trying to experiment with who he is 179 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: and what he is. They'll figure it out. I think 180 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: we'll see a recipe in a formula that works will 181 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: for him as he continue to have success, not only 182 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: individually but collective. You see he had thirteen carries total there. 183 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: But again I went back and kind of watch those 184 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: design quarterback runs. I think there were eight or nine 185 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: of them, So, um, I think you can even step 186 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: that up a little bit more he's built to be 187 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: able to handle that. Again, he made some big time 188 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: throws on some of those over routes. That's where he's comfortable. 189 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: They were throwing a lot of stuff in the middle 190 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: of the field, which I'm kind of conflicted on because 191 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: you think it's wet weather middle to field their shorter 192 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: throws than trying to push the ball outside. But buck 193 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: for a young quarterback, there's a lot of mud traffic 194 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: in the middle sidelines. When you get out to the perimeter, 195 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier. It's a it's a little 196 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: bit cleaner out there. Yeah it is, But when you 197 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: throw it outside, you not have to be a lot 198 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: more arm telling in armed strength as opposed to he 199 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: got you got a way to make to play and 200 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: actually said, yeah, he has that, and we knew he 201 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: had that, and he played in bad weather during his 202 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: time in college. So I would just like to think 203 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: that it's an ongoing evolution. Uh, Kyle Shanahan is trying 204 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: to figure out how to play with the young quarterback. 205 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: The young quarterbacks trying to figure out how to play 206 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: in the system, and they're also trying to integrate the 207 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: pieces around him. And it's a time let's check back 208 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: in four weeks, let's check back in eight weeks. Let's 209 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: see he has progressing throughout this season. Yeah, let's just 210 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: ease up a little bit there, slow down. Anyways, we've 211 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: got a lot more to get to here. We're just 212 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: getting started. We're gonna come back and we're gonna look 213 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: at a team that's doing something a little unique. It's 214 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: having big time success. That's a team everybody's picking to 215 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and they showed nothing in week one, 216 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: Uh to cause any hesitation if that was your prediction. 217 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: So we'll get to that right after this. Alright, it's 218 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: signed for a new segment. Here, we're kicking this thing 219 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: off and we are calling this bucking the trend, m 220 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: so buck. We're looking at some team that's that's doing 221 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: something a little bit differently everybody else. They're having some success. Uh. 222 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills got off to a huge start and 223 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: their destruction of the reigning Super Bowl champion Rams. What 224 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: have you seen from them that makes them maybe a 225 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: little bit unique. I think what's unique is Ken Dorsey 226 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: being the offensive play caller. I think Ken Dorsey's experienced 227 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: from his time as a player at the University of Miami. 228 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: And you can think about all the great players that 229 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: were around him, Jeremy Shocky and Kellen Winslow the second 230 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: and all the running backs and the big time playmakers. Well, 231 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: what I saw from Ken Dorsey is he made sure 232 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: that all the playmakers for the Buffalo Bills got touches. 233 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: They got touches early, they got touches often. They were 234 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: in the rhythm of the game. And because they were 235 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: in the rhythm of the game, they were able to 236 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: strike at any point. And he did it while making 237 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: the quarterback very comfortable. Quick rhythm passes, spread empty formasons 238 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: so he could see the defense, some single wing plays 239 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: where Josh Allen was able to run the football. He 240 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: really tapped into all the Josh Allen skills while remembering, hey, 241 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: let me make sure that step on Diggs because the touch, 242 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: and make sure give Davids because the tests. Let me 243 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: make sure that my running best get enough touch is 244 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: to stay in it. It was a masterful job of 245 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: making sure that the quarterback with the centerpiece of the 246 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: offense while making sure that all the others were able 247 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: to be involved. That's why you saw this offense explode. Yeah, 248 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: and this is a quarterback here in Josh Allen, you 249 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: mentioned getting the ball out quick, two point four seven 250 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: seconds in time to throw, So you're talking about really 251 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Jordan's Love who just played, you know, through the ball 252 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: five times, and Jared Goff the only two that got 253 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: the ball out quicker. So the ball is getting out quick. 254 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: But what makes them so special on some so unique 255 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: to me is it's just like that. It's basketball, right, 256 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 1: spread everybody out, get the ball to hand, get the 257 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: ball again, get the ball in your hand. It's underneath, underneath, intermediate, underneath, underneath, 258 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden the field shrinks buck and 259 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: then Josh Allen has the ability to scramble and to 260 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: by time. He only has to do that three or 261 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: four times a game, but they get huge chunk plays 262 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: off of that because it's almost like we've talked before 263 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: about changing up the rhythm of the snap right. Sometimes 264 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: you want to get up there and get on the ball. 265 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: Then you want to let the clock wind down a 266 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: little bit. Don't let a defense and their signal caller 267 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: get comfortable with the pace of the game. I feel 268 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, uh and now with Ken Dorsey calling 269 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: the plays, they're kind of doing that in terms of 270 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: what's taking place after the snap, where it's quick, quick, quick, 271 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Man, now I gotta cover for 272 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: four or five seconds because he's scrambling around. Why they've 273 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: got to spread out. Yeah, I think it's really the 274 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: ideal way to play with the modern quarterback right now. 275 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: The way that we're seeing Josh Allen use it is 276 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen being able to throw from the pocket, quick 277 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: rhythm things, Josh Allen being able to get on the 278 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: move on the edges, sprintouts, bootlegs, scrambled plays that you 279 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: talk about, Josh Allen running the football zone, redesign quarterback runs, 280 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: handing the ball up to the backs. And what they're 281 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: doing is they're utilizing the entire field. So we always 282 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: think about stretching the fuel vertically, right, he push it 283 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: down the field, but they're also using Josh Ellen to 284 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: stretch at horizontally. Now they make you defend every blade 285 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: of grass, and most teams are not equipped to deal 286 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: with the team that has this kind of firepower and 287 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: that quarterback understanding. Yeah, it's it's fun to watch, man, 288 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: and it's a it's an ever expanding playbook because as 289 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned, there's there's nothing they can't do with him 290 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: in terms of arm strength. Like some quarterbacks, you're just 291 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna be limited flat out. You're not gonna be able 292 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: to call certain throwbacks and certain plays just because you're 293 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: not gonna have the arm to get it there. So 294 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: he that is not a problem for them. And then 295 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: you have other guys that you're kind of limited to 296 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: what you can do in the pocket because you're not 297 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna be able to really move. So his ability to 298 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: then move brings into play design quarterback run. It's like 299 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: watching it, it's like watching a college game to some degree, 300 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: you know where you've got good luck. I mean, it's like, 301 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: that's why we've changed the expectation of defense, which is, man, 302 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: just try and get a couple of turnovers, get the 303 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: ball back to your offense. Because there's about seven or 304 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: eight of these quarterbacks he might be, you know, right 305 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: near the top of the list that uh that that 306 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: present this type of a nightmare. You better just find 307 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: a way to get a couple of turnovers because you're 308 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to stop these guys. Yeah, you 309 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: have to play the turnover game. But here's the thing 310 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: about it. The Bills on defense are now beginning to 311 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: play the way that you want to see most defensive play. 312 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: This is a team that rarely blitz. The other night 313 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: against the Rams, they were able to dominate with a 314 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: four man rush drop seven in the coverage, which is 315 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: ideal because now you don't have any open gaps in coverage, 316 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: you're able to protect your young corners, you're able to 317 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: stay over top, kind of put an umbrella over the 318 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: top of the coverage. They're able to do it. And 319 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: when you have guys like von Miller being able to 320 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: get after it, you got young guys like Greg Russo 321 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: and Boogie Basham able to look at Von Million practice 322 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: each day and then add some of those things to 323 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: their repertoire. It's not a coincidence that the Buffalo Bills 324 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: played well on Thursday. And the scary thing, I don't 325 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: even think they brought their A game. So if we 326 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: see their A game, look out the rest of the 327 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: a f C should be on notice. Yeah. No, it's uh, 328 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: it's a team that's really compliments itself quite well. And 329 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: that's a that's a hat tip to what Brandon Bean's 330 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: done in that front office. Sean McDermott has requested and 331 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: what he knows works for them, And you just get 332 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: the feeling that this is a confident, sure bunch on 333 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and UH their nightmare to 334 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: deal with. There's a reason why everybody picked them to 335 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: win the whole dang thing, because this is a really, 336 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: really good football team. And buck want to jump into 337 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: a couple of games we're gonna see this weekend. Another 338 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: great slate of games here in week two, Uh, none 339 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: bigger than the first game for Amazon that is gonna 340 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: be the Thursday night game. The Los Angeles Chargers travel 341 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: to Kansas See to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. 342 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: It is the premier division in the league right now, 343 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: the a f C West. We've talked about it all offseason. 344 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: Got a chance to see the Chargers and the Raiders 345 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: in a great game last week. The Chiefs just destroyed 346 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. UH and the Denver Broncos we mentioned 347 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: them a little bit earlier, had a tough loss. But 348 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun division to watch. Just 349 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: your first thoughts here, Chargers, Chiefs, what are you looking 350 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: forward to? Battles of quarterbacks? Justin Herbert Pat Mahomes. Uh, 351 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: there's some people that believe that Justin Herbert has surpassed 352 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes as the class of the division. He is 353 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: the number one quarterback in division. So now you have 354 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: an opportunity to see both of these quarterbacks up close 355 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: and personal. I can't wait to see how they compete 356 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: because the one thing that we know, there's a lot 357 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: of pride and a lot of ego and playing that position, 358 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: and every QB one believes there ultimately the QB one 359 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: of the league. Well, now let's see it. Is it 360 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert? Is it Pat Mahomes? Who is the quarterback 361 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: of the future in the National Football League? The way 362 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: these guys play on Thursday Night, it give us a 363 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: little inkling. Oh, who's gonna be the face for the 364 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: next decade or so? It's looking like Keenan Allen probably 365 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: not gonna play in this game, so you'll be without 366 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: him if you're just In Herb. I want to get 367 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: to Herbert in just a minute, some of the incredible 368 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: throws he made the other day, But let's jump into 369 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes because much was made. No Tyreek Hill, what does 370 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: this offense look like? Had a chance? Sinse to go 371 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: back and watch the game and watch the film on 372 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: that one against Arizona Cardinals. But he does some unbelievable 373 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: things man like, and it's it is as a general manager, 374 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: always communicating with We were talking about different quarterbacks and 375 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: he's like, if you watch the tape of Mahomes, and 376 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: I said at that time, I hadn't, because you're gonna 377 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: see a handful of just ridiculous throws. It's almost like 378 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: we've become numb to it um with how good he is. 379 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: He's uh, you know, he's such a dynamic player off platform, 380 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: disconnecting kind of his lower body of his upper body. 381 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: It's just not nesamebody to be able to do that 382 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: like he does to make some of those throws. So 383 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: he's special. He's unique. And I I started thinking about, Okay, 384 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: if you're gonna play against Mahomes, if we go back 385 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: to the Michael Jordan's bulls and you had the Jordan's rules, 386 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: what are the Mahomes rules to give yourself a chance? 387 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: Right now? This is gonna be a difficult offense. Any 388 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: offense he's leadings gonna be difficult to slow down. But 389 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: if you want to give yourself a chance, I think 390 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: there's four things that are imperative. You've got to do 391 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: these four things to have a shot. And let's start 392 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: with number one. Uh, rush for if you blitz him, 393 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna see it. He's got outstanding awareness and vide 394 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid has built in answers. They're gonna screen you. Uh, 395 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to beat your free rusher. And 396 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: now you're really in trouble. Now you're giving up explosives 397 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: down the field. You've got to get home with four, 398 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: You've got to rush for number two. You cannot get 399 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: caught up field. Uh. If you have gotten even with 400 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback, you are in trouble because now he's gonna 401 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: climb up. And that's where a lot of his big 402 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: plays come, when he's able to get his shoulders square 403 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and climb up in the pocket. 404 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: There's literally no blade of grass he can't hit with 405 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: his arm. So um, if he gets if he gets 406 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: flushed out and he's instill and here you're in front 407 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: of him, you got a shot, but you can't get 408 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: caught up the field. That's number two. Number three, Kelsey, 409 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna do his damage, but you better get your 410 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: hands on him at the line of scrimmage at least 411 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: try and reroute him and throw off some of the rhythm. 412 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: UM to have yourself a shot. He's still their number 413 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: one target by far, and then the last one. You've 414 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: got to be able to catch the gifts. Mahomes is 415 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: so aggressive and it was in that game against Arizona. 416 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: There's one or two throws he tries to make every game. UM, 417 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have opportunities to pick off the ball, 418 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: but you gotta catch at Arizona couldn't finish those, Um, 419 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: You've got no shot if you don't generate some turnovers. 420 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: If you don't catch those one or two balls he's 421 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: gonna try and fit in that you have an opportunity 422 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: to catch, you're in trouble. So there you go. There's 423 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: my Ma Homes rules. You know, I like the rules, 424 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: and the rules are based on things that we've seen 425 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: on tape. The teams have successfully done, the teams that 426 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: have given them problems that have been the teams that 427 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: have been able to get home with four. We saw 428 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: the tam Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl get home 429 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: with four play maximum coverage, take away the deep ball 430 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: and make Pat Mahomes play uh nickel down quarterback. That's 431 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: what you want, um. I treat Pat Mahomes much like 432 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: in the NBA you treat Steph Curry. You don't want 433 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: to see Steph Curry hit a couple of threes because 434 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: what it does is it energizes the building. It gets 435 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: him going, gets his teammates going. Well. With Pat Mahomes, 436 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: I don't want to see the deep ball flat over 437 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: the top because when E those one of those spectacular 438 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: deep balls, Man, everyone at Kansas has come to see that. 439 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: They started celebrating. It becomes a party as a party 440 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: on the sideline. Take that away. We saw it a 441 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: couple of years ago on a Thursday night. We watched 442 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: him play the Buffalo Bills and they literally park both 443 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: safeties and the parking lot, and he said, Pat, the 444 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: deep ball isn't there today, So you can run all 445 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: you want, but we're not going to let you beat him. 446 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: I think you have to play that game with Pet Mahomes. 447 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: Win in the red zone. When the field is a 448 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: little tighter, then you can begin to take maybe some chances. 449 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, rush four, drop seven, keep the ball in 450 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: the front, make him take the check down over and 451 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: over and over again and see if he gets bored 452 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: with that, it makes a mistake. Yeah, well, blitzing him 453 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: just to kind of put numbers on it. Uh, last 454 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: week the Arizona Cardinals blitzed him almost fifty three percent. 455 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: He can played at seventy one point four percent of 456 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: his passes with four touchdowns no picks when they tried 457 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: to blitz him last year over there, going back to one, 458 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: teams have kind of figured this out at least give 459 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: themselves a chance. Not that it's always worked, but he's 460 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: been blitz on average eighteen point two percent. So somehow there, 461 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: Zona Ardenal's got it in their head that they're gonna 462 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: be smart and everybody else in the league and try 463 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: and blitz this dude. It did not go well. Um 464 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: So that's that's not a good way to live against 465 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: this Kansasy Chief's offense. Flip it over to Justin Herbert 466 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: buck um Man. He was excellent last week. I'll just 467 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: give you one play as an example. They have an RPO. 468 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: So you've got Herbert ride the back right, so he 469 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: pulls the ball. You've got DeAndre Carter in the slot. 470 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: He's gonna try and hit a little slant um and 471 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: you've got maybe a little quick out to Gerald Everett 472 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: on that same side, So he pulls it out. DeAndre 473 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: Carter's caught up in the trash, so he's got nothing there. 474 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: So most quarterbacks at that point in time, you're gonna 475 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna take off and run, or you're gonna throw 476 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: the ball at Carter's feet um and just live to 477 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: play another down. This guy justin Herbert me and a 478 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: cyborg that he is. He he extends the play to 479 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: the left. Everett shows tremendous instincts. He just converts, he 480 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: just gets up field. They end up connecting on an 481 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: impromptu back shoulder at about the five, and Everett just 482 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: kind of backs his way into the end zone for 483 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So this is a play that was totally 484 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: destroyed um and they find a way to make some 485 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: magic out of it. That's the that's the fun thing 486 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: about this game. Both these quarterbacks on scheduled, dangerous off schedule, 487 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: maybe even more dangerous. Yeah, that's why offensive coordinators always 488 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: want an athletic quarterback. You want a quarterback who is athletic, 489 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: not necessarily an athlete who was playing quarterback. And the 490 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: reason why is because as as creative as I may 491 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: be as an our offensive play caller, I can't call 492 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: it every play right. And what I hope is that 493 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: I have a quarterback that can make me right. With 494 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: his athleticism and his arm talent, Justin Herbert can erase 495 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: a lot of your bad calls because his talent alone 496 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: was going to put him in a position to make plays. 497 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: And we're seeing that, and so I think we've seen 498 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: it for years with Pat Mahomes. I think the reason 499 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: that we're seeing it from Justin Herbert why so surprising 500 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: is we didn't know if he had that club in 501 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: his bag. Based on how we evaluate him at Oregon, 502 00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: he's exceeded all expectations as a first round pick. You 503 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: begin to talk about him in hallowed ground rare company 504 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: in terms of how you view his career trending by 505 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: the time he gets to the end of it. Alright, 506 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: One one other division game we're keeping an eye on 507 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: this weekend. This is an affair that's been pretty lopsided, 508 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: with the Saints having the best of the Bucks in 509 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: the regular season. The Bucks beat them in the post 510 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: season on their way to the Super Bowl, but they 511 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: will square off this week. You've got the Bucks coming 512 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: off a big win over the Cowboys. The Saints squeak 513 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: one out. But this is gonna be a fun matchup. 514 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: What you're looking forward to the most well, I think 515 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: the big thing is the Saints have no fear when 516 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: it comes to dealing with Tom Brady. Defensively. Cam Jordan 517 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: has talked about getting after him, so can Dennis Allen 518 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: provided the Risk of the League with a blueprint for 519 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: disrupting the rhythm of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is 520 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna be hard sledding for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because 521 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: depending on what Chris Godwin's status is, you have Mike 522 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: Kevins on the outside, Julio Jones, great receivers, but more 523 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: big bodies stressed to feel get down the field types. 524 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: You know. The Saint says the right person the other 525 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: matchup with that, they also can pressure Tom Brady with 526 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: four or they can bring five to Mario Davis can 527 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: come to join Cam Jordan's. It's a tough defense, and 528 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: because they've beating them time and time again, they don't 529 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: really fear what the Falcons do. The two things the 530 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: Saints have done that have given the Bucks a ton 531 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: of trouble. Number one is crushed the pocket. So they 532 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: just they it is all They are full grown men 533 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: up front. These are big, strong power rushers, and that's 534 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: all they do. They just try and crush the pocket. 535 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: Let it just kind of close in on Tom Brady. 536 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: You're not trying to win upfield with speed. They're gonna 537 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: try and crush you and just make that whole pocket shrink. 538 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: And the second thing they do on the back ends, 539 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: they get their hands on you. You know, Tom Brady 540 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: is such a rhythm guy. He knows everything. He's seen 541 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: everything back foot in the ground, boom balls gone. They 542 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: get their hands on these white outs and play physical 543 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: with them. So when you can crush the pocket, you 544 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: get your hands on these receivers, you got a chance 545 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: to disrupt the uh, the rhythm and the flow of 546 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: this Buck's offense. You absolutely nothing what you mentioned disrupting 547 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: the rhythm. In the nature of the passing game, it 548 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: takes two. It takes the ability to collapse the pocket 549 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: with the front four, but then it also takes I 550 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: gotta put my hands on the wire receivers and tight 551 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: ends and make them earn their space up the field. 552 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: Can't give out free release. You give out free release. 553 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: It's a recipe for disaster. Jam them, make them work, 554 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: made them get open, and then put the pressure on 555 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: uh Tom Brady to make tight window throws over and 556 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 1: over and over again. Let's test that arm strength at 557 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: this stage of his career. Yeah, this will be a 558 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: great test for the Bucks again coming off a big 559 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: win over the Dallas Cowboys. I do want to give 560 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: everybody heads up about a college game that's gonna be 561 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: on NFL Network.
