Top 29 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: twenty five rookies. I do this. I did it you 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: know preseason. I'll do it every quarter of the season, 31 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: so this is kind of the quarter pole, and identify 32 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: the top twenty five guys. Now, keep in mind, I 33 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: see as many of these players as I can watching 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: tape each and every week. There's no way to get 35 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: to every rookie, So there's other guys whore gonna emerge 36 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: and pop up as we come along. Hair Buck A 37 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: little disclaimer there, but from what I've seen, uh, this 38 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: is my list. And and I'll start you know, we're 39 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: gonna do a video. We're gonna go through and and 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: show some tape and analysis. You can check that out 41 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash MPTS video and YouTube dot com 42 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: slash NFL for that Um, that one. I think we 43 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: work backwards. But let's no need to be a spoiler here. 44 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: Let's let's give the good folks what they want and 45 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: start right at the tippy top of the list and 46 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: no uber one rookie through the first quarter of the 47 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: season as a player buck who was not a first 48 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: round pick. Uh. Darius Leonard earlier second round pick for 49 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, has been nothing short of spectacular. I mean, 50 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: he's everything that we thought when we watched him at 51 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. We knew he was a playmaker that 52 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: it can make players from sideline to sideline could come downhill. 53 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: And for being a guy that was a small school player, 54 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: he stood out amongst in a game that was really 55 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: full of giants. Um. He has been the same player. 56 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: Going to Indianapolis. Put him right in the middle of 57 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: the defense. He has made all the plays. He's disruptive, 58 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: he's destructive. He does a great job of setting the 59 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: defense and making the plays that it had to be 60 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: made Darius Leonard. Look, I know they took Quinn Nelson 61 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: in the first round, but you can say to Darius 62 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Leonard is the best player on the team right away 63 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: outside of Andrew Love Yeah, he's been. He's been phenomenal 64 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: and definitely on his way to earning a Pro Bowl. 65 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: Berth the guy right behind him. Another one on his 66 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: way to earning a Pro Bowl birth and that's that's 67 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Derwin James with the Chargers, who has just been all 68 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: over the field. We talked about him every week on here. 69 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: I get the, uh, the pleasure of watching him live 70 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: each and every week. Bock. He can play high as 71 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: a free safety. He's at his best when he's down 72 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: in the box. He is a phenomenal blitzer. He's a 73 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: tempo changer. I went back and watched that tape against 74 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: the forty Niners, and not only do you see him, 75 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: you know blitz and you see the sack, you see 76 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: the big hit at the end of the game. Another 77 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: blitz where he jumps up in the air and bats 78 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: a ball down. He's an underneath coverage and he drops 79 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: back underneath the corner route high points and knocks the 80 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: ball down. I mean, he's literally all over the field. 81 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: Has been as advertised there for the Chargers. He's number 82 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: two on the list. Look, he's been spectacular. He is 83 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: the player. We talked about it multiple times on the podcast. 84 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: He is the player that you liked. All the things 85 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: he checked off, all the boxes in so many areas 86 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: highway speed, it was a check. When it came to 87 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: his football character, it was a check. The only thing 88 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: that you really couldn't check off was the production because 89 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: he has some up and down news and then last 90 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: year Flotta State, he didn't necessarily dominate the game that 91 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: you way that you liked, but you knew you could 92 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: bank on the potential because all the other stuff was right. 93 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: We are seeing that Nanda. He's dropped in the l 94 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: A Charges defense. He is everything that we thought that 95 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: he could be in even more. I'll tell you what's 96 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a good thirty for thirty one day is 97 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: to go back and look at the talent on that 98 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: national championship Florida State team and just look at the 99 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: defensive talent in that group. When you start looking at 100 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: the Telvin Smith's at linebacker. Uh, you saw Derwin James obviously, 101 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: who were talking about here, Jalen Ramsey. Uh, you had 102 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: uh Ronald Darby, you had p. J. Williams. Who's who's 103 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: a good player on that team? I mean it was loaded. 104 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Then you flip over to the offensive side, and you 105 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: look at what they had with Devonte Freeman and company. 106 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Man that was we were there, Buck, we saw it firsthand. 107 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: That was a loaded roster. I mean, they just have 108 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: done a really good job of developing that crew and 109 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: that core players and the top players from that Those 110 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: teams have gone on to have success in the National 111 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: Football League, which is what you expect from Florida State guys. 112 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: You expect him not only have a program that is 113 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: at the top, but you expecting to produce some of 114 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: the top pros. They've done that. Those guys on defense 115 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: have been uh spectacular, I mean remarkable. Jame Ramsey, Derwy James, 116 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: and the list goes on and on. Those guys certainly 117 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: lived up to the hype that surrounded their name. Tim 118 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: Jernigan was the dominant player on that defensive front. Uh 119 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Man was Mario Edwards was on that team. It was 120 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: it was a loaded group. Uh number three on the list, 121 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: and we'll go a little bit faster after we got 122 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: outside the top ten here, but Calvin Ridley and his 123 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: six touchdowns Buck puts him right there in the top 124 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: five and number three. You know, Calvin really surprised, like 125 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people that were necessarily viewing 126 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: him as the consensus number one playmaker wide receiver. In fact, 127 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: he wasn't the first wide receiver take and d J. 128 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: Moore had that on and going to the Carolina Panthers. 129 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: But what I liked about Kevin Ridley when I watched 130 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: him on tape when he was at Alabama, he was 131 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: an outstanding route runner. And I think we've talked about 132 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: this one thing that you can bank on when you're 133 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: drafting the first round guy. Route runners always find a 134 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: way to make plays, and so when you're evaluating the 135 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver position, look for guys who are polished when 136 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: it comes to route running, who have all the tricks 137 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: of the trade. They can find a way to consistently 138 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: get open value that more than athleticism, and Calvin Ridley, 139 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: you have a guy that plays like a veteran. I 140 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: compared him to our own Reggie Wayne when he was 141 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: coming out, and maybe that's lofty in terms of what 142 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne was able to accomplish in his career, but 143 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: Calvin really already has six touchdowns in four games. UM. 144 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: He has been a guy on the other side of 145 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Hulu Jones that has given them UH some juice and 146 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: so man Ryan already has developed a comfort level. That's 147 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: the kind of production you want to see from your 148 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: first round pick. He has done it right out the gate. 149 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: He's been a dominant player, no doubt. And and we've 150 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: seen recently rookie wide receivers and first round wide receivers 151 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: have a tough time initially to make that impact. We've 152 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: seen guys the Cooper Cups outside the first round, the 153 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster outside the first round, uh in last 154 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: year's group have success. Now those second year players and 155 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: we're talking about those second year players, Mike Williams, Corey Davis, 156 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: they're starting to come along. But immediate impact has made 157 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: you hit it by route runners and he is an 158 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: outstanding route runner. Was it Alabama? And so far we 159 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: see the same thing there with the Atlanta Falcons at 160 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: four and five. I've got to Cleveland Browns flipped in 161 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: the order they were selected, though. Denzel Award at number 162 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: four and Baker Mayfield at number five unbelieved well. DIDs 163 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: Award um, he's a guy that came in and when 164 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: you talk to the people up there, they said, look, 165 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: they believe he could be a lockdown corner because you 166 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: asked him, man, why would you take a corner over 167 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: a pass? Rush your desk? Um? Not the traditional method 168 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: of doing it. When you're doing the team building, they're like, 169 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: but we think this guy's specials since we've had a 170 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: man he has the ability to really locked down and 171 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: we think that he's going to be one of those 172 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: premier corners that can travel, can lock people down and 173 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: completely shut down one half of the field. Well, I'm 174 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna say this, those guys were right, because he has 175 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: been everything that you could hold for as a top 176 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: five pick. He's been dominant, he's got his hands on 177 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: the ball, he's created turnovers, he's tackled all the things 178 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: that you look for in the corner. Being complete, he's 179 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: a complete player on the autum, speed, toughness, instincts, ball skills, 180 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: um checks every single box. He's been outstanding so far 181 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. And it looks like a great pick. 182 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: And then with Baker Mayfield number five, Um, he's given him. 183 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: We used the word you always talked about hope. He 184 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: provides hope. He said about my homes the other day, 185 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: said the same thing about Baker Mayfield. Every time you 186 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: take the deal with Baker Mayfield, You've got some hope 187 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: because he is a playmaker. He can make every throw 188 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: you want to make. He can play inside and outside 189 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: the pocket. Um. Now, look, there's been some mistakes here. 190 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: There's a decision making, maybe a little bit ultra aggressive. 191 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: You can rein that in. But man, I like the 192 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: way he attacks the field. This is a no fear mentality, 193 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: the way he plays a quarterback position, and man, it's 194 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: fun to watch. He brings the juice. Um. I think 195 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: when I looked at him that Thursday night, the one 196 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: thing that I wrote down in my notebook, Man, he 197 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: has the sauce, and I think everyone talked about the sauce. 198 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: The sauce nothing more than it factor he added at Oklahoma. 199 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: But you're like, man, can he really take that swag 200 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: and confidence? Can he infuse that kind of energy into 201 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: a protein? Yes, he can, because Cleveland Browns look like 202 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: a different offense when he is at him. And even 203 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: though he afford turnovers against the Oakland Raiders, you don't 204 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: like to see that. The one thing that he is 205 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: he's fearless, and that fearlessness allows him to make plays 206 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: that they weren't making early in the year. Because Tyrod 207 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: Taylor has been ultra conservative with the football. You're seeing 208 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: the playmakers get involved. That's help the running game because 209 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: then you have to fear the passing game. All things 210 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: are trending in the right direction for Cleveland. They just 211 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: need to learn how to finish games in the fourth quarter. 212 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: That is their biggest issue, no question. At number six, 213 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley Um lucky. We we knew what he 214 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: was Buck, with the heightweight, speed he brought to the table, 215 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: the explosiveness of versatility. We've seen him be very involved 216 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: in the passing game so far. Uh. They are not 217 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: great upfront along the offensive line. But he's been really good. 218 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Now he hasn't he hasn't set the world on fire yet, 219 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: but I think that's a little bit more about his 220 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: surrounding uh than than what he is. He's he's been solid. 221 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: I would say he had been spectacular Buck. We've seen 222 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: some spectacular moments, but just a real solid effort so far. 223 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: That's why I have se Quon Barkley number six. He 224 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: has been solid. Um. I think some of his issues 225 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: in terms of not being as productive can go back 226 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: to the quarterback Elon Manning. But that's another story that 227 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure will tackle in the coming weeks. Kuon Barkley 228 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: is as good as advertised. We thought that he potentially 229 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: was the best player in the draft based on what 230 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: he brought to a team as a runner receiver. He 231 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: shown that ability. Uh. The biggest things for the Giants 232 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: is they gotta find a way to continue to get 233 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands so he can impact the game. 234 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: So we also can alleviate the pressure on Ode Beckham Jr. 235 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: And some of the other guys on the perimeter. No 236 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: doubt at number seven, Minka Fitzpatrick. Uh, you see him 237 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: primarily as the nickel down there with the Miami Dolphins 238 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: and just what, you know what we knew again there's 239 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: no shock here, and we knew he's a really good player, 240 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: very heavy player, always where he's supposed to be. Um, 241 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: he's just reliable, dependable, steady Eddie. That's making Fitzpatrick. That 242 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: is making Fitzpatrick he is he is that he is solid. 243 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna get you from point A to point b Um. 244 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: I kind of call him the Honda Accord shameless plug 245 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: even though they're not sponsoring that program. Like, he's dependable. 246 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: You know that you can put him in the game, 247 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: He's going to be exactly where he's supposed to be. 248 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: He's going to be solid. You can trust him. He's 249 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna be disciplined, in detail, all those things of what 250 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: you like from our first round pick. I've heard you 251 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: talk about it in the first round. It's not necessarily 252 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: about hitting home runs, but you can win a lot 253 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: of games hitting singles and doubles. He is a right 254 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: in the gap all day long. He's going to be 255 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: a good player for a long time in this year 256 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of time. Most doubles end up being 257 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,599 Speaker 1: home runs in time, but very high floor there for 258 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: Menca Fitzpatrick. Another player in the secondary right behind him, 259 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: Dante Jackson, who I felt like we talked about him 260 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: a lot in the run up to the draft out 261 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: of l s U Ultra ultra explosive. Didn't understand how 262 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: he was used at l s U his last year 263 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: there Buck They played him in the slot but played 264 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: him way off. Um, it's kind of a tough spot 265 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: to be in. Uh. He's he's been outstanding so far 266 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: early in his NFL. Curer get his hands on some football. 267 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: He has been My biggest issue with Dante Jackson coming 268 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: into the draft, was he gonna be big enough to 269 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: hold up on the size um in Carolina. Carolina requires 270 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: their corners to be very active and involved in the 271 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: run game. And he has not shot away from the 272 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: contact on the edge. And so for a hundred some 273 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: somebody who's hundred seventy five eighty pounds, Uh, you wondered 274 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: what they throw their body in there? What he has 275 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: been willing and it has really helped that defense to 276 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: care a lot of defense. Is kind of funny because 277 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: when you look at them, uh, the first seven has 278 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: a lot of stars, but in the back end it 279 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: just kind of like some unheralded names. These guys do 280 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: a good job of making tackles, being uh solid in 281 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: the run support game, while also being able to provide 282 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: some solid coverage in the back end, no question. And 283 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: rounding out the top ten, Royce Freeman and Philip Lindsay 284 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: Um the rookie duo. They're a little two for one 285 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: special there with the Denver Broncos a little a little 286 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: thunder and lightning there. The combination of the two has 287 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: been outstanding. I mean they've been terrific. I mean, this 288 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: is kind of what you expect UH from a Royce Freeman. 289 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: We thought like has had success drafting running backs outside 290 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: of the first round and having guys to compete. And 291 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: I had a crush on Royce Freeman because I thought 292 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: he was underutilized during his time at Oregon. His ability 293 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: to run, he can catch the ball out of the backfield, 294 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: I thought he would be a dependable banger going in 295 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: between the tackles. Philip Lindsay is the guy that has 296 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: been the surprise to me. You just didn't know if 297 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: a guy his side could really handle the load, and 298 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: he has been able to handle load, give them production. 299 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: He's been a nice compliment to Royce Freeman. And unlike 300 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: you would think in most situations where the smaller back 301 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: and coming, he just does the scatback things. No, he's six, 302 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: it depended that he goes inside. He is effective and 303 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: I think the Broncos have a nice one to punch 304 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: with their rookies handling the workload, no doubt. I'll just 305 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: run through the list here. I'll get you through the 306 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: top twenty. You can figure out the you can find 307 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: the final five there uh nfl dot com for the 308 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: entire list. So at eleven, I have UH I have 309 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: will her Nandez who has done a nice shot for 310 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: the Giants there upfront. Fred Warner comes in at twelve. 311 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Linebacker from b y U who I saw last week 312 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: with the forty Niners, who's very Instinctive's been all over 313 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: the field, teaming up with Reuben Foster to give them 314 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: a nice little tag team there. Uh. Nick Chubb got 315 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: the one big game you saw that against the Raiders 316 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: last week. But I love what what he's the way 317 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: he's trending, and what we've seen from him. Uh there 318 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Brons very well represented on 319 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: this list. Bradley Chubb at fourteen. He's the third Bronco 320 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,359 Speaker 1: there in the top fifteen. Ro Kuan Smith at fifteen 321 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: with the Bears in that nasty defense. McGlinchey another forty 322 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: Niner there, well well represented there at sixteen. Sony Michelle 323 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: the one big game we saw last week for the Paytrich, 324 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk at eighteen. Mohurst at nineteen with the Raider 325 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: has been very disruptive. Sam Donald comes in at number twenty. 326 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: Again with Sam, it's just watch each and every week. 327 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna learn, he's gonna grow but I have seen 328 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: some good things. With what he's got to work with, 329 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine. Um. And again, this is not 330 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: saying how we would redraft these players. This is based 331 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: solely off performance from what we've seen in the first quarters. 332 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: So that's the top twenty buck. You can find the 333 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: remaining five names their NFL dot Com. I mean, it's 334 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: a nice list. That's some nice playmakers. And then those 335 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: final five, I mean, we have a couple of our 336 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: favorite guys, so you want to go check out that list. 337 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: But um, I've been really impressed with this rookie class. Um. 338 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: I know people, old school guys, traditionalists give the new 339 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: generation a tough time calling themselves saying that college football 340 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: is not preparing him for the pro game. But as 341 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: the NFL game is trending more towards and beginning to 342 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: evolve and look more like the college game, I think 343 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: we're seeing guys that can come right out of the 344 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: college game and come and make immediate contributions. And I 345 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: think the thing that we will have eventually we have 346 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: to have a discussion about the rookie quarterbacks and how 347 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks of being able to come in and compete, 348 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of times we talk about young quarterbacks 349 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: during the process, we talked about, oh, they need to 350 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: have a red shirt year, they need more time to develop, 351 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: and I believe that that is kind of going out 352 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: the window. I believe now the pressure is on the 353 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in the play callers to find a way 354 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: to create a game plan, a playbook that fist the 355 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: talents of what they were able to do in college 356 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: while also bring him up to speed with some of 357 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: the NFL stuff. I think more and more people are 358 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: gonna put the pressure on the coach, not the player, 359 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: uh to get up to speed to be able to 360 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: have success. One interesting note before we move on. This 361 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: is a fun topic buck about the benefits of playing 362 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: right away versus sitting. Interesting if you look at the 363 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: two probably the would be the vote getters number one 364 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: and number two in the m v P race. Pat 365 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: Mahomes did get that. That did get that red shirt 366 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: year for the Chiefs. Played one game, started that last game, 367 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: and then Jared Goff did not start off right away. 368 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: He got some time to learn there in that first 369 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: year as well. So all these rookies this year thrown 370 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: in really early. Um so again, we've we can we 371 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: can show how it's worked both ways. But it is 372 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: interesting that the two guys at two young quarterbacks playing 373 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: better than any other young quarterbacks did get a little 374 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: bit of time there, uh to sit and learn so 375 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: uh different different philosophies there, no doubt. All right. Uh 376 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: that's that's the top twenty five rookie list again. You 377 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: can check out the rest of the NFL dot com 378 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: for the final five and a little analysis there as well, 379 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: and be sure to check out that video we have 380 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: where we we break down these guys. Oh yeah, you 381 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: hear that music. That's a little pressure cooker music is 382 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: what we've got right there, Buck, And we're talking about 383 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: teams that are winless or only have one win, so 384 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: they're under five hundred. So there's a little bit of 385 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: pressure this week to get this thing turned around. So 386 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: we've identified those teams and uh, I'm gonna see what 387 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: we need to do to get this thing done. I'm 388 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: gonna kind of identify the one key for them to 389 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: get a much needed win. Are you ready to roll? 390 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm ready? Just get it Brocco Jets. Alright, Buck, we've 391 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: got Jet one and three the Denver Broncos are two 392 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: and two, So we're focusing here on the New York 393 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: Jets trying to find that second win. What is the 394 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: key for this football team? Things all about helping Sam Donald. Um, 395 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: it's about the young quarterback. Is about giving him to 396 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: kind of help that he needs. And some of that 397 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: help can be in the play calling. I think they 398 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: need to be a little more aggressive on first down. 399 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: The ball has to come out quick, allow him to 400 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: play ahead of the chains. Uh. Too often we talk 401 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: about young quarterbacks we need to run and established to run, 402 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: and that is great, but a lot of times we 403 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: need to come out and kind of play from kind 404 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: of back to front, meaning think about throwing early. Didn't 405 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: get to the running game late, allow him to throw 406 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: against favorable looks. Uh. Think about the Jets using a 407 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: Blake Borders approach, meaning when the Jacksonville Jaguars trying and 408 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: get him on track, they throw a lot of checkdowns 409 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: on early downs, get the second and forward, then they 410 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: can have those mixed downs where it can be run 411 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: or passed. I would like to see the Jets play 412 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: like that, because when Sam Donald is able to play 413 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: like that, I think he can still be very, very 414 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: effective despite his inexperience. Yeah, and it does not get 415 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: easy man for him. He's like here every week they're 416 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: playing a big time defense, coming off Jacksonville, now he 417 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: faces Denver, Um, He's got some other big time defenses 418 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: lurking here in the future. I would say early down, 419 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: we talk about throwing early downs. I'll say taking some 420 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 1: shots early downs, try and get some chunk plays on 421 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: those early downs, play action, push the ball vertically. But man, 422 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: you do not want to find yourself in a lot 423 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: of third and longs versus the Denver Broncos pass rush. 424 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: So that that does concern me a little bit there 425 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: if they're gonna find a way to get that done. 426 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 1: Jets desperate to find their second win of the season. 427 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: Titans that bill Okay, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans. This game 428 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: is at Buffalo, Buffalo is one in three, trying to 429 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: desperately get to two and three. What do you think 430 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: the biggest key for them to get a win, Well, 431 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: the Buffalo trying to find that second win. Buck. They 432 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: they've got to find a way to get their quarterback go. 433 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: And we talked about with Sam Donald, same thing here 434 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and I look for him running the 435 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: ball early. The Tennessee Titans are not going to run 436 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: away from you on the scoreboard. They play like to 437 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: play those kind of muddy, nasty games. So control the 438 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: run the football and run the football a little bit 439 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I know you don't want to put 440 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: your quarterback in the situation where he's gonna get dinged up. 441 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: But Josh Allen is big, he is physical. I'd like 442 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: to see some more design quarterback runs here to get 443 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: him loose. I would like to see him take the 444 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: same game plan that he used against the Minnesota Vikings 445 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: where we talked about them playing um kind of like 446 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: wooming football. We saw him from from zone reds. We 447 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: saw him get some swings, some keys, uh, some bubble screens, 448 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands quickly. He saw 449 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: the ball going to basket early, and I think he 450 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: gave him a lot of confidence. Uh. The first fifteam 451 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: plays for the Buffalo Bills are really really important because 452 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen feeds off of how he plays 453 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: during those first fift team try to set him up 454 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: for success early, and I think he can ride the 455 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: confidence throughout the rest of the game. Raven Brown. Alright, 456 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: Cleveland is is one to win one taking on the Ravens, 457 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: the three and one Baltimore Ravens, who are coming off 458 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: a big win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. So the key 459 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: for Cleveland in this game to get that second win. 460 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: Man have been in every single game, Buck, But to me, 461 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be about getting home with your pass rush. 462 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: We know what they have up front with Larry Ogan, Joe, 463 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: but we know what we have with Myles Garrett. Uh, 464 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: it's time for you to pick take over a game 465 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: and dominated football game like they did against the New 466 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: York Jets and their their previous victory. They got to 467 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: find that same formula again. They've got to find a 468 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: way to do what Pittsburgh couldn't do, and that's heat 469 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: up Joe Flacco. The funny thing is I wrote on 470 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: my notes focused on the finish. They have to win 471 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, um like a 472 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: baseball game, that's when the relievers come in. And for me, 473 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: the relievers are the pass rushers. I need to feel 474 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: the impact of Emmanuel Aba, I need to feel what 475 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: Myles Garrett can do in those situations because in the 476 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they need to be able to slam the 477 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: door on the Baltimore Ravens. It is important that they 478 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: make Joe Flacco uncomfortable. This is a game where the 479 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: front four has to win. If they win up front, 480 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: I think they win the game. Cowboys that Texans. So 481 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: then we go to Texas. We have Houston dealing with 482 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, Dallas is sitting there at two 483 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: and to Houston is one in three. What do you 484 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: think the key is when the Houston Texas well, I 485 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: think they just bottle up what we saw last week, 486 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: which was Deshaun Watson kind of getting back into his 487 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: rhythm again, getting him comfortable, uh, spreading the football around, 488 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: which is nice to see. But it comes down to 489 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: the other side. They've got two dudes that can take 490 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: over and dominate a football game, and Jadevan Clowney and 491 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: j J. Watt, and that's exactly what they did last week. 492 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: That is the formula for them. We finally see these 493 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: two guys healthy on the field at the same time, 494 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of destruction uh to be had there. Now. 495 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: This Dallas Cowboys offensive line is not where it has 496 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: been bucked, but we saw them playing a little bit 497 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: better last week, kind of finding their rhythm. So this 498 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be strength versus strength right there at the 499 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Yeah, right in the line of scrimmagees 500 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: game has to be one and the trenches. You looked 501 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: at how the Dallas Cowboys were able to play. They 502 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: would play the way that they need to play, which 503 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: is control the ball, give the ball to zeke Led 504 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line kind of do their deal and to 505 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: manage and slow down the tempo of the game. For 506 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, they have to be able to do 507 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: the same on both sides. Went on offense, the offensive 508 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: line needs to play better, control the passers to dun 509 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson can play his game, and the defensively, I 510 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: need his defense to stand up. I need J. J. Watt, 511 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: I need Dvian Clowney. I need those guys to really, 512 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: uh make their presence known in this game. For the Texans, 513 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: it's all about the trenches. If they get good trench 514 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: play on both sides, then they have an opportunity to 515 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: get their second win. Cold said Patriots. Alright, big game 516 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. This is a rivalry that goes way 517 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: back and according to GM Chris ballard to the rivalry 518 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: is back on. Uh. There for the Indianapolis Colts. That 519 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: great SoundBite from him after the Josh McDaniels thing, it 520 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: didn't really end up happening. So you got India Indianapolis 521 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: one and three taken on the Colts or the Colts 522 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: taken on the two and two New England Patriots buck 523 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: in a big Thursday night tilt tonight. What do you 524 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: think the key is here for the Colts. It's a 525 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: it's uphill battle for them to try and find their 526 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: second win in this one. It is an uphill battle. 527 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: But um, I think I like what the Indianapolis Colts 528 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: have been doing with Andrew Luck. A lot of quick 529 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: passes the ball that's coming out. Um, he is gaining 530 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: confidence in his arm being able to make plays. Uh. 531 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: The thing that they have to add to it now 532 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: is a little balanced. They have to be able to 533 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: run the football a little bit so they can kind 534 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: of dictate the terms. And against the Patriots, you don't 535 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: want to give Tom Brady the ball a lot. Even 536 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: though that offense hasn't been explosive, we saw them kind 537 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: of find their way. This is a game where the 538 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: Coats want to play it on their terms, a little 539 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: more balanced attack. I would just like to see them 540 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: get up to twenty five rushing attempts whoever is running 541 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: in it. However, the combination is that they can get 542 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: up to twenty five rushing attempts. I think that is 543 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: enough balance to take some of the pressure off Andrew Luck. 544 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: That would be the key in the game and my estimation. 545 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: And remember tonight, this Thursday night football game is gonna 546 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: be a phone to watch. You can catch it on 547 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: the reimagined NFL app. You can now livestream your local 548 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: games and get all the prime time games live right 549 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: on your phone along with all new Game Center for 550 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: breaking news, highlights, stats, and real time insights from around 551 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: the NFL, or for your favorite team, download the NFL app. 552 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: So would encourage you to get that done. Raiders. That 553 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: what do you think the biggest a key to this 554 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: game for the Oakland Raiders. Oh, he finish. I think 555 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: you used that word a little bit earlier. Oakland Raiders 556 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: are they love to carry leads into the fourth quarter. Uh, 557 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: They've just got to find a way to finish. Now 558 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,239 Speaker 1: they're able to finish in overtime. Maybe a little bit 559 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: of help there from a couple of friendly calls there 560 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Browns, but they found a way to 561 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: close it out and get the game over with. And 562 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: that will be interesting against this Chargers team. Can they finish? 563 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: Can they go on the road, which look, there'll be 564 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: plenty of of of Oakland fans, they're big fan base 565 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: there in Los Angeles as well, UM, so it'll be 566 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what they do at the 567 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: start of the game. Can they keep the game UM 568 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: in contention with They've had no problem doing. But can 569 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: they finish once you get to the very end and 570 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: some of that you can say on both sides of 571 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: the ball. Now, Marshawn Lynch, with what we saw last week, 572 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: that's a finisher. Be he will put the ball in 573 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: his belly run like he did last week. That's how 574 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: you close out a football game with a guy like that. 575 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: So he'd be the one key I would keep an 576 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: eye on to be there closer. He is the closest 577 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: funny I put down closes. You talked about Marshawn Lynch 578 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: being the closing I'm gonna talk about someone emerging as 579 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: a path strushure. Bruce Irvan r and Key somebody has 580 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: to be able to close out you, hearst In in 581 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. They need one of their young guys, 582 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: and they put a lot um of weight on, a 583 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: lot of trust in those young guys. Key and hearst 584 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: in particular, those guys need to find a way to 585 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: be able to knock the quarterback around in the fourth quarter. 586 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: We have seen this league is evolving into a seven 587 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: or seven league. The only way you can win games, 588 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: you have to be able to affect the quarterback. They 589 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: need their pass for us to be able to do it. 590 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: You talked about Marshall Lynch being able to shrink the game. 591 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: I need the pass for us to be able to 592 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: close the game. Giants sad Panthers, all right, the most 593 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: disappointing team in the NFL. Bucket the Giants at one 594 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: in three taking on the two and one Carolina Panthers. 595 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: The Panthers coming off of a bye. It's a good 596 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: football team, arrested football team. What do the Giants have 597 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: to do to try and knock off the Panthers? Buck 598 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: They gotta get the ball off their hands that they're 599 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: most explosive weapons. Sae Kwon Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr. At 600 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: the top of Pass Shermer sheet, it has to be 601 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: get the all the twenty six get the ball to 602 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: thirteen collectively. Collectively, those guys need to have thirty combined 603 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: touches because if they touch the ball that much, that 604 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: means they're having that kind of impact on the game. 605 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: For sake, Kwon Barkley is easy to get him to 606 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty two. It's harder to get Odell Beckham Jr. 607 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: In the game with eight to ten touches. But that's 608 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: why they pay Pass Sherman to big bucks. They have 609 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: to find a way to script some plays where he 610 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: can touch the ball and have an impact. He gets 611 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: eight to ten, that tippy is gonna put him over 612 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: a hundred. I put this on past Shermer. Eli Manning 613 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: figured out number thirteen has to touch the ball and 614 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: when he doesn't touch it, it it needs to go to 615 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: twenty six Packers and Detroit Green Bay madd If he 616 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: has to get his team another win, how's he gonna 617 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: do it this weekend? That I got a one in 618 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: three football team right now, and you've got a Green 619 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: Bay Packers team, which the scary thing is they're not 620 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: clicking right now with the Packers, but you're starting to 621 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: see Aaron Rodgers move around a little bit better, So 622 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: the challenge is going to be there for the Detroit Lions. 623 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: You still gotta find a way to corral Aaron Rodgers. 624 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: I know, even though he's not healthy, being able to 625 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: keep him pinned in the pocket, I think is still 626 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: your best bet. And this one, you know, I don't 627 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: know if you uh, um, you know, if you if 628 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: you buy into Detroit Lions and his newfound running attack, 629 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, if they can find a way to keep 630 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: that cranked up with with Karry on Johnson and company, 631 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: that would be one way to help get yourself a 632 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: win and keep Aaron Rodgers off the field. So I 633 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: would look at that run game being balanced offensively and 634 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: then on the other side, Um, I know, even though 635 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: he's he's a little bit nicked up, I still think 636 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers can make things happen, and he's special once 637 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: he extends and moves around. So I'm still trying to 638 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: keep him him in the pocket. Yeah, I think you 639 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: have to control him. They have to find a way 640 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: to control Aaron Rodgers. You heard Aaron Rodgers kind of 641 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: going a little uh Rant after the game talking about 642 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: he have they have to get their playmakers the ball, 643 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: give him more opportunities. And that was funny because Davante 644 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Adams had eight receptions in their game, so I guess 645 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,239 Speaker 1: he wants them to have twil to fifteen receptions at 646 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: the end. But I think I think it's really all 647 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: about that. It's finding a way to get the ball 648 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: in the hands of the guys on the perimeter and 649 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: let them work. And a lot of times the better 650 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: way for them to do it is to go no huddle, 651 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: let Aaron Rodgers play at the tempo. How did the 652 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,239 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions come back that? The one way you can 653 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: combat it is don't let him get the ball that 654 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: he goes back to the running attack. Carrie and Johnson 655 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: can can they just make him to start and make 656 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: him the feature back. I mean, I don't know why 657 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: we need to see everybody else to wait in the backfield. 658 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: Let's give it to him. We've seen him go over 659 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: a hundred they celebrated and in the street. Make sure 660 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to He can't extend the street 661 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: because he didn't do it last week, but start a 662 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: new streak. I'm starting the streak Vikings that Eagles, alright, rematch, 663 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: this is the big rematch here. The NFC Championship Iname. 664 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota only has one win, one too and one taking 665 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: on the Philadelphia Eagles, too. Haven't been that great themselves 666 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: sitting there at too and two. So buck the Minnesota 667 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: Vikings to get that second win and avenge the loss 668 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game, they need to do what defensively, 669 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: they gotta find their way in the back end. The 670 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: coverage has not been great. Mike Zimmer talked about after 671 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: the loss to the Rams. He talked about that this 672 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: has been the worst coverage that he's seen in the 673 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: second theory that he's ever coached. And so to me, 674 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: that kind of leads me to believe that they're gonna simplify, simplify, 675 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: to coverage a lot of guys to play fast, lean 676 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: on the pass rush, and they do miss everything Griffin everything. 677 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: Griffin was their best pass rush. They miss him off 678 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: the edge. And so now the guys in the back 679 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: end are going to have to cover. So Danil Hunter, 680 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson, those guys have to be able to create 681 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: pressure on the passers so they don't have to cover 682 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: as long, but the secondary has to hold up. They 683 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: have to hold up their end. Because the last three 684 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: or four times that we've seen in Minnesota Vikings, I 685 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: mean since that championship game, well actually since the Saints 686 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: game last in the division around, they have not been 687 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: able to cover people. They got to get better. If not, 688 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough time for them to get 689 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: back in this race as a playoff contender, especially all 690 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey back healthy, You're gonna put a lot of stress, 691 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure there on that back end. Falcons, 692 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: that Steelers, Atlanta, Pittsburgh. These are two teams that are 693 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: desperate for their second win. I mean, I guess I'll 694 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: throw it to Atlanta. What is the key for Atlanta 695 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: getting their second one? I'll take Atlanta, you take Pittsburgh, 696 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Atlanta Buck, It's just a mass unit there on the 697 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: back end. I don't know if you want to have 698 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries and I'll be missing some key 699 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: players in the secondary when you're going up against the 700 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, I guess the good thing is Steelers 701 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: are not really clicking right now offensively, but new names, 702 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: new faces, somebody's got to step up there in the 703 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: back end and make some plays for this Atlanta Falcon secondary. Uh, 704 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: that to me is a big key in this one. 705 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: I mean this is a huge key. Um. Their defense 706 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: is working at a deficit. They've lost a ton of 707 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: playmakers in the back and defensively just all over every 708 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: level they're missing, uh, key pieces. So that was more 709 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: pressure on Matt running at offense. That offense has been 710 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: able to put up thirty five thirty six points at home, 711 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: but can that offense travel? Um, I think they have 712 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: to play from in front. They gotta put up points. 713 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: And the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been very, very willing 714 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: um to give up points and surrendering to make these 715 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: games shootouts. And so for Atlanta's about putting the pressure 716 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: on the defense by really coming at them and attacking them. 717 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: And then for the Pittsburgh stell Is Mike Tomlin has 718 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: continued to simplify the defense, trying to figure out a 719 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: way to help the corners and the pass rush and 720 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: everybody on defense play better. They didn't play bad um 721 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. You just wanted to kind of 722 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: see them keep them out the end zone. I think 723 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: a lot of it goes to the Pittsburgh Still his offense. 724 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: The offense has to generate more points and Big Ben 725 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger got what he wanted. He has the offensive 726 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: coordinated that he wanted to throwing the ball all over 727 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: the yard, but they're really throwing it to their detriment. 728 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: This is a team that needs to be balanced. I 729 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: saw a stat they're throwing on seventies seven percent of 730 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: their plays in the first half, way out of whack. 731 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: They have to have some semblance of a running game 732 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: to then create the explosive passes. And I know everyone 733 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: was celebrating James Connor early. We're never beginning to see 734 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: the impact of not having living in Bill in the backfield. 735 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: They gotta balance it up. They need Connors to be 736 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: a factor in the run game to help some of 737 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: the weapons on the outside explode. Particularly number eighty four 738 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown Cardinals might be considered. Uh, is this the 739 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: toilet Bowl game? Maybe this Bowl game Arizona at Owen 740 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: for San Francisco at one and three. So we can 741 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: tackle both these teams here, Buck, Why don't you start 742 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: with the forty niners and and what they need to do, 743 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: try and find their second win. Then I'll tackle the 744 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Kyle Shanahan has he has to scheme it up. 745 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: He has scheming up. Do whatever you can do to 746 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: get c J. Bethar Uh comfortable. Look, they're they're working 747 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: without a lot of playmakers. They're they're trying to figure 748 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: it out. Jimmy garoppolos on the sideline and Jimmy la 749 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: Garoppolo was the guy that was elevating the play of 750 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: the others. Without him, it is now even more important 751 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: that they operate in a systematic approach. This is Kyle 752 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: Shanahan really dissecting the Arizona Cardinals defense and finding a 753 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: way to attack it. They're a little more zone heavy 754 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: this season than they had been in previous seasons. Look 755 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: for him to get some quick rhythm throws. See if 756 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: you can get c J. Bethan in the groove. If 757 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: he can play, he can play at an efficient level. 758 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: It gives us San Francisco forty nine is an opportunity 759 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: to win a game. And I flip it over the 760 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: other side, and I haven't seen this team up close 761 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: last week in San Francisco. I think they're are some 762 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: some spots in the secondary you can attack, so normally 763 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: not gonna be too aggressive there with the rickey quarterback. 764 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: I think I might cut Josh Roseen loose this week 765 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: and let him try and attack a little bit. Uh, 766 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field against the secondary. There 767 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: will be some opportunities and some some plays to be 768 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: made there. So I'd look for them to say, let's 769 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: let's let let's let Josh Roseen loose a little bit 770 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: in this one. Let's cut him loose and see what 771 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: he can do. I think it could be a nice 772 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: showing there for the young murky quarterback. All right, but 773 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: those games, those are our our pressure cooker games, their 774 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: teams desperate, trying to find another win. On the schedule. Now, 775 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: on the other side of things, we've got some big 776 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: matchups here. We've got four matchups featuring teams without a 777 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: losing record. So these are kind of like the Big Four. 778 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: So I thought we do the same thing, kind of 779 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: jump in on these games. These are the marquee games, 780 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: the games on the headline, uh right there at the 781 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: top of the list. Can't wait for these, so let's 782 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: let's jump in on this list. Let's do it. Dolphins Bengals, Dolphins, 783 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: Bengals Buck What what do you think the key to 784 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: this one is? You know? For me, i' I'm looking 785 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: at the Cincinnati Bengals and I think the Bengals are 786 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: the NFL's best skips secret. They laid in the egg 787 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: against the Carolina Pants a couple of weeks ago to 788 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: kind of slow the momentum, bounce back, got a big 789 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: win on the road against Atlanta Falcons, and when I 790 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: look at this team, they have a ton of talent 791 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: and outside. On the offense, Tyler Boyd and A. J. 792 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: Green are looking like maybe the best one to punch 793 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: in football. And that says a lot because I believe 794 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: uh feeling and digs are terrific. But way Boyd and 795 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: Green are going about their business, they're really in sync 796 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton. Bill Lazer has done a great job 797 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: remaking this offense, making it really Andy Dalton friendly. Uh. 798 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: Their ability to score points is critical, and GEO Vanni 799 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: Bernard has done a really good job stepping in for 800 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. When Joe Mixon comes back, they have a 801 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: nice one to punch in the backfield. This offense is 802 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: good enough to get him there and then Defensively, they 803 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: get the bully back Vante's Burfitt comes off the sideline, 804 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: serving that suspension. He comes back. Um, lookout Cincinnati's and 805 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: Cincinnatti's loaded. Man. The Dolphins are gonna have a tough 806 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: time here because of injuries. When you look at what 807 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: they've lost, loose start on the defensive front, turn around 808 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: the next week, lose your center. Um, they are thin 809 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: in the trenches and that's not a good sign going 810 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: up against the Cincinnati Bengals. If the Dolphins are gonna 811 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: win this game, big plays is the only way it's 812 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: gonna happen. They're gonna have to try and find a 813 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: way to get some of their speed guys like Keem Grant, 814 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: get them loose a little bit, uh and generate some 815 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: big plays. Kenny Stills. Just find some way to get 816 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: some chunk plays and uh and really cover a lot 817 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: of ground there. I just don't see down and down out. Man. 818 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough matchup for them, especially 819 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, I think 820 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough one. Um. It's just it's 821 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: tough matchup for the Miami Dolphins and they're smoking mirrors. 822 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: Passing game was kind of uh sawt and kind of 823 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: stymied last week by the New England Pages. Nanna they 824 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: put dead on tape. They don't have a tougher time 825 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: moving the ball. Ryan Tannehill has to find a way 826 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: to generate some some good play. Statistically, on paper, he's 827 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: been terrific, but now on the field, we need to 828 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: see him kind of take his game up a notch. Uh. 829 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: This is a big I mean, the Miami Dolphins need 830 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: to get this win. I just don't know if they're 831 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: talented enough to knock off the Cincinnati Bengals. Rams at Seahawks. 832 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: This Ram Seahawks Buck. This is uh, man, this is 833 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: gonna be uh. This is gonna be a matchup of 834 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: one explosive offense and and another offense still maybe trying 835 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: to find themselves a little bit. Yeah, it is uh, 836 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it'll be interesting to watch how 837 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: this displays out. Um. The Rams can score from anywhere 838 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: on the field. They do a great job of creating 839 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: problems while really running the same place over and over 840 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: and over again. The jet sweep action, uh, the empty formations, 841 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: the multiplicity of what they do with the versatile playmakers. 842 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: They make it really really tough on the defense. And 843 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: then with the Seattle Seahawks, I believe they discovered their formula, 844 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: and the formula for them is to make sure that 845 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: they run more than they throw. When their run pass 846 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: ratio is over uh fifty fifty in in favor of 847 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: the run game. They have success. Back to back weeks 848 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: they had a hundred yard rushers. They won those games. 849 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: It is all about the rushing attempts and finding one 850 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 1: guy that can kind of beat the defense up. If 851 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: they can do that against the Rams team, that man, 852 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: they score a ton of points and allowed them to 853 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: control the game. Take it to the fourth quarter and 854 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: maybe that's where they're able to win it at home. 855 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: I don't see Seattle slowing down this Rams offense. I 856 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: think the Rams will roll on that one. Be interesting 857 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: to watch, right, What's what's next year? Redskins? That Saints 858 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: Redskins maybe the big surprise this year. But what do 859 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: you think about this one? I mean, this is a 860 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: great game to watch. Um the re emergence of Adrian Peterson. 861 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson being able to give the Ridskins that vintage 862 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: running game, being able to kind of slow the game down. 863 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: Take something to pressure off Alex Smith. He can play 864 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: uh in a very very comfortable role that works with them. 865 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: But the New Orleans Saints, I know everyone is is 866 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: fawning over the Kan City Chiefs in the L A. 867 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: Rams offense. I believe the New Orleans Saints may have 868 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: the best offense to make it to a Super Bowl. 869 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: And the reason why is they could throw the ball 870 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: over the yard. Drew Brees is going to set the 871 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: record probably in this game for most passing yards in 872 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: National Football League history. Um. But then the running game, 873 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: Avian Kamar being a guy that has shown that he 874 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: and handed the workload. But then you get mark Ingram 875 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: back and I said this was the best running back 876 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: duo of all time. I call them to go. We 877 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: will be reintroduced to the greatness of twenty two and 878 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: forty one. The ability to run the ball, balance it out, 879 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: not really put it all on Drew Brees. They have 880 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: to throw for three hundred yards makes them very very difficult. 881 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 1: And the discovery of Michael Thomas being a terrific playmaker 882 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: in the slot. I don't know how anybody slows them down. Man. 883 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: I think the Saints are really lights out on the offense. 884 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: Jag wires that Jeeves. Yeah, this is the main event. 885 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: This is the main event, and we said it already. Buck. Look, 886 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: if the Jacksonville Jaguars, with their defensive personnel cannot slow 887 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 1: down there, you go cannot slow down the Kansas City Chiefs. 888 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be done this year. 889 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: So I think the rest of the league is gonna 890 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: be paying attention to this one to see what the 891 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: game plan is and how they're gonna try and attack 892 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: this Chief's offense because nobody has really been able to 893 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: figure it out. The Broncos slowed them down a little bit, Buck, 894 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: but when the play seemed to be made, Patrick Mahomes 895 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: companies still found a way to do it. They got 896 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: the run game cranked up last week. Uh So, to me, 897 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating to watch that defense working against 898 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: Chief's offense. Oh, it's gonna be fascinating to watch um matchup. Wise, 899 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: I think the Jacksonville Jaguars have the defense to really 900 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: match up with the Kansas City Chiefs. Uh. We saw 901 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: the Broncos kind of put a little blueprint out there 902 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: for the first three quarters on how to deal with 903 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City play a little man to man. They were 904 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: able to generate the pass rush. Uh. The one thing 905 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: that I think the Jaguars need to add to that. 906 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,959 Speaker 1: They can rush past the depth of the quarterbacks drop, 907 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: meaning they can't give Pat Mahomes those open lanes. We 908 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: can run around and make those second reaction plays. Make 909 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: him sit from the pocket and make him deal and look, 910 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: he's dealta as well as anybody could deal from the pocket. 911 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: But you have to make him play their way and 912 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: then add the sticky coverage on the outside. Kind of 913 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: beat those receivers up and see if they can get away. 914 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: You have to make them uncomfortable, throw off the rhythm 915 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: of the game, because if you let them get on 916 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: the freeway, you let them just kind of run around 917 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: and make plays, they'll hang half a hundred on the Jackson. 918 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: With Jaguars, they gotta slow it down. They gotta beat 919 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,439 Speaker 1: him up. Have you ever looked at your credit card 920 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: statement been shocked by the interest rate?
