We'll touch on that, and we're also gonna 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: look at some some wild card teams that are dangerous 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: as well as we're gonna try and give some presents 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: to the teams with the top five picks in the 16 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: drafts if we can't make them better. You know, man, 17 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm good, I am great. You know.

So it'd be 22 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: it'll be fun to kind of experience it. But man, 23 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: it is chili chili chili in New York. Yeah, you 24 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: are gonna be doing some You're gonna do with some 25 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: labor of love. This this evening here is this game 26 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: is getting ready to kick off here. You are actually 27 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: some if you're watching this the games I are even 28 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: be going. But it's it's right about now, and you 29 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: are going to be outside on the sidelines and freezing 30 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: weather and a little wet, a little little rainy out there. 31 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: And then I am going to go to another freezing 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: place for the last game of the week. That's gonna 33 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: be Monday night in Indianapolis. Spoiler alert. You inside, though 34 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: you're inside, so that's not fair. You're inside. You get 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: to see uh living Folds make his debut for the 36 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Coals as a starting quarterback. So that should be fun 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: for you. Um, you gotta learn up on all the 38 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: new things that I happened with him playing quarterback. Um, 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: your team is in a fight for a postseason bid 40 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: as well, and so there's a lot on the line 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: all weekend, and I think this is the fun part 42 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: of the year. We get through it and we always 43 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: talk about, uh, wanted to see your team play meaningful 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: games down the stretch. And so then you get to 45 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: the final three or four games, you're trying to figure 46 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: out who's going to be in the tournament. You have 47 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: some teams that are already in the tournament. They're contemplating 48 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: the rest versus ruts debate. Do you want to rest 49 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: our players? Do you want to play our players? Are 50 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: they gonna be rusty when you get into the postseason. 51 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: All of those things are kind of coming into play. 52 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: And then you have teams that are also fighting for 53 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: pole position for the next year's draft, so they don't 54 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: necessarily want to win. They want to be competitive, but 55 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: they're okay and then Little lost to the Ledgers. So 56 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on. This is the 57 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: fun part of you, Yeah, fun part of your no 58 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: doubt um the game with the Jags Jets. I'm curious, 59 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: just from your take being around this Jags team, what 60 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: would you attribute outside of we can all look at 61 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and his play over the last handful of games, 62 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: how outstanding he's been. But what else is it about 63 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: this team that's kind of got this thing flipped around 64 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: to the point now where you control your own fate. 65 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Here you can go ahead and win out and get 66 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: into the postseason. I think what I've learned been around 67 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: this team, coaching matters and coaching matters in the pros 68 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: a lot. And it's the subtle thing that coaches do 69 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: that separates them from other coaches. I think Doug Peterson's 70 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: experience as a what I'll call a two time Super 71 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: Bowl winner, one as a champion we played together in 72 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay. He won a championship there and then another 73 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: as a coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. It brings about 74 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: a level of confidence that gives him instant credibility when 75 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: he's talking to the team. And so I can tell 76 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: you the team hangs on his every word. And because 77 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: he's been I guess very practical, and how he has 78 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: built the team up, um, they do it so so 79 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: DJ whatever he asked him to do, whether it's already 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: then in training camp where they were having these padded 81 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: practices and they were kind of banging and thumping going 82 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: on too, Hey, let's take off the past and less 83 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: go through more walk through periods so we really understand 84 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: exactly what we're doing. He has the team's ear and 85 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: because they begin to have a level of success and 86 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: they've seen how the team has improved, but particularly how 87 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback has improved, they're all in. And so when 88 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: you have that kind of buy in from your team, 89 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: now you have an opportunity to take him to the 90 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: next level. And so over the next three games, we'll 91 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to see if Duck and get this 92 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: team to the next level. Who are a couple of 93 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: the other guys on this roster? I know it might 94 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: be folks out there haven't seen a lot of Jacks 95 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: play this year, but who would be maybe two or 96 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: three other names to keep an eye on and on 97 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: this team if they're going to make a run, they're 98 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: gonna get into the postseason and and maybe even potentially 99 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: make some noise once they get there. Who are some 100 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: of these other names that you've got a chance to 101 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: see grow with this roster and are playing really well 102 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: right now? Okay, So much like you get a chance 103 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: to see the quarterback, right it's real fun for you 104 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: to cover the charges game because when the quarterback goes, 105 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: the offense goes, and when you have an offense that 106 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: is going, it's more entertaining to watch and talk about 107 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: and discuss. So the Chargers you had a chance to 108 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: watch the young receivers kind of developed DeAndre Carter, Josh Palmer, 109 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: some of those other guys with Keenan Allen and Mike 110 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Williams were away. Well, then when those guys come back, 111 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: now is what we call musical chairs when it comes 112 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: to the passing end. Well, when Doug came came over, 113 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: he talked about wanting to have that kind of approach. 114 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: He talked about even in practice they of the thing 115 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: called musical chairs. And this is a good drill for 116 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the coaches out there. So you can imagine we're gonna 117 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: round five straight plays and DJ we're gonna run the 118 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: same play five times, but at the end of each 119 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: snap that we run, you gotta line up in another spot. 120 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: And so you can't line up in the same spot twice, 121 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: but you gotta line up in another spot within the 122 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: formation to do it. And so what you're trying to 123 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: do is you're trying to create a conceptual knowledge of 124 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: the place. So everything is the same for the quarterback, 125 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: but different for the defense. And so what that did 126 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: early in the off season, it allowed everyone to understand 127 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: the entire offensive package when it came to the past 128 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: end and gave Doug the flexibility to change the pieces 129 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: on the chessboard to take advantage of matchups. And so 130 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: now what you're getting is every week is a hot week. 131 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: So I want to say last week's a Jones had 132 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards, had three touchdowns. The week before 133 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram had a hundred yard game, it might have 134 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: been the week before that Christian Kirk might have had 135 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: a big game. And so from a passing game perspective, 136 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have a true number one, but they 137 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: have what I call a bunch of B plus pass 138 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: catchers and at any moment, one of those guys can pop. 139 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: And because you have that kind of talent with the 140 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: musical chairs concept, this passing game is very difficult because 141 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: you don't know who's the hot guy. And some of 142 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: that is by design and some of that is just 143 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: kind of it opens up in game, but it makes 144 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: it a very very difficult offense to defense. And then 145 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: Travis eti En has also made a major jump this year. 146 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: He was hurt all of last year, but he's kind 147 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: of giving them what I would call kind of a 148 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles like playmaker. Seriously, you banger, that's your number one, 149 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: But he can get you a hundred yards. It's it's 150 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: in a sneaky, clever, misdirection deception type running game. But 151 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: he's been able to be a big factor. And so 152 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: when he gets going, combined with the passing game, yeah, 153 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: this team can zip up and down the field. And 154 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: that's what we've seen. I feel like we've talked a 155 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: lot about the Jets. We've talked about Zach Wilson a 156 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: bunch on here, and we've kind of nailed down what 157 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: we think this team is, what they're all about. It 158 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: will be an interesting challenge here for this Jags offensive 159 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: line going up against the Jets defensive line that well 160 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: got shut out last week against the Detroit Lion something 161 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: we haven't seen often uh this year. That young, talented 162 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions offensive line played really well. We'll see how 163 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: the Jags missing Cam Robinson and left tackle, We'll see 164 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: how they buy these guys up front. Buck Yeah. So so, 165 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: so here's the thing, because you've done you've done the research, 166 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: you know the work, so walk a little have to 167 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: play left tackle. You have Juwan Taylor who has a 168 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: hamstring injury playing right tackle, and so man, what if 169 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: the hamstring doesn't play right? Like, he kind of changes 170 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: the thing. I think the big thing to watch him. 171 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: Here's the thing that I'm leriu. Right, I feel like 172 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of been a rain on Zach Wilson's parade. 173 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: And I'm certainly not hoping that he has a great 174 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: game tonight with the Jaguars. But I think we have 175 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: to be careful with young quarterbacks kind of making some 176 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: of these decisions and assessments right away. I mean, I 177 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: don't I don't even know how many games he has 178 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: on his ledgers, Like he might not even be twin 179 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: five games in his NFL career when it comes to starts, 180 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: and yet we're ready to like just kind of throw 181 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: the baby away with the bath water. I just think 182 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: you have to be really, really careful when it comes 183 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: to that. It takes a while for quarterbacks to mature 184 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: and improve. I can tell you in Jacksonville, DJ, prior 185 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence getting hot, like around week nine, man, 186 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: there are people calling in talking about, hey, maybe they 187 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: need to give c J. Bethetter chance and all this 188 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: other stuff, And I'm like, man, can you just see 189 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: the level of talent that my man has. And I 190 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: think we've been around this to know that with quarterbacks 191 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: who have talent, you want to give them every opportunity 192 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: to fail out of the situation. And so even though 193 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: we can talk about maybe a quirky personality and some 194 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: of those other things, there's no the nine the talent. 195 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: It's about cultivating the talent, teaching him some of the 196 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: other stuff, and then surrounding him with enough playmakers where 197 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: his game can flourish. Yeah, he started twenty one games. 198 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: Buck games for him. Um again, I feel like a 199 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: lot of people have talking in a seven team in 200 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: a seventeen game season, right, So he started a season 201 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: and not even a third and we're ready to be like, 202 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: oh man, we gotta pun on ready go, they gotta 203 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: dump him, trade him, get rid of them. Mike Wow, Like, 204 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: think about this, Think about this. And I know I'm 205 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: not gonna open up Pandora's box here because we've we've 206 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: talked about it a lot, and I'm sure we'll talk 207 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: about after this game next week, But um, they're they're 208 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: five and three this year in games he started, in 209 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: the eight games he started. If you look back at 210 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: last week, and you don't mangle the clock at the 211 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: end of that game. Who knows, you know, maybe he's 212 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: six and two and wins aren't a quarterback stat. I 213 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: get it. But in those wins Pittsburgh game, we're seeing 214 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: some highlights of here. He made plays late in that 215 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: game to help them win that game. He made some 216 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: incredible plays at the end of this one, uh this 217 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: past week against Detroit to help him, you know, have 218 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: a chance to get back and win that game. So 219 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's early. I think people love 220 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: to jump on guys and he has definitely been that guy. Uh, 221 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: quickly buck before we get out of this a block. 222 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: I want to touch on the Pro Bowl roster that 223 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: came out. I'm not huge on it. I don't really 224 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: care in terms of, you know, people thinking that this 225 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: is to be all end all. I think I'm starting 226 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: to a coach. Last night, I brought up a great 227 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: point and it was talking with some of his players 228 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: are frustrated with how it it shook out with the 229 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, and he said, look, the you know, the 230 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl was not necessarily the great indicator of who 231 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: you are as a player. Your contract usually is more 232 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: of a better indicator of that because you get to 233 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: the market and the whole league has access to your abilities. 234 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: The market will tell you who who thinks you're good 235 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: in this league, whereas some of the Pro Bowl stuff 236 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: can get away from me a little bit. The one 237 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: name that I thought it was a little bit egregious 238 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: when you look at the Philadelphia Eagles and they had 239 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: I think eight guys with a lot of guys, but 240 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave should have been a Pro Bowler. I think 241 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: he's got ten sacks as a defensive tackle. He's been 242 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: a pretty dominant player for a group that leads the 243 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: league in sex by a considerable number and it's on 244 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: a record pace when it comes to sex as a group. 245 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: He's been a big part of that. So that would 246 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: be the one I thought was a pretty egregious snub. Yeh. Normally, 247 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: when you have the number one team in football, they 248 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: know anybody who's clothes gets to I will say this 249 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: about the Pro Bowl birth and this goes back to 250 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: a conversation I have with a old team made Robert 251 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: mass who made one Pro Bowl in his career, but 252 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: I think he made it as Rickie season, and he said, 253 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: young Buck no matter what they say, they always have 254 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: to reference me as Pro Bowl and so it doesn't 255 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: matter in terms of titles. But I get it, and 256 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: it is disappointed because you have the fan vote, you 257 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: have the players vote, and then sometimes I feel like 258 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: players don't necessarily take it seriously when it comes to 259 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: the voting. UM. But there's not a better system to 260 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: be able to do it. I would say the snub 261 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: that comes to mind for me will be Christie McCaffrey. UM, 262 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: And I know Christian McCaffrey going over from the Carolina 263 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: Panthers to the San Francisco forty nine is there are 264 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: a lot of things made about his injuries and those 265 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: things at Carolina has final couple of seasons, But since 266 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: he's been with the San Francisco forty Niners, I think 267 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: you and I both will agree, DJ, this is the 268 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: Christian and Caffrey that we expected to see when we 269 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: watched him at Stanford. This is a guy that is 270 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: a dynamic weapon who could do it as a runner 271 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: and receive. Since he's come over to the forty Niners, 272 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: he has eight hundred and eighties scrimma jars. That means 273 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: he is averaging a hundred and ten Scrimma jars per game. 274 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: So as a runner receiver, he is dominating. He's doing 275 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: it exactly how you want to do it. And on 276 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: a week by week basis, they can decide whether the 277 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: feature him heavily in the running game or if they 278 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: want to take advantage of the matchups in the passing game. 279 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: And the funny thing is, I firmly believe that Kyle 280 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: Shanahan hasn't even scratched the surface on how he can 281 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: utilize Christian McCaffrey. I think the postseason it would be 282 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: because I expect him to be a monster in the playoffs, 283 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: Ain't no doubt. Um, he's uh, he's somebody that's just 284 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: getting started there. And you mentioned I think there are 285 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: gonna be other avenues they haven't even explored with him 286 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: because he's so he's so unique, um, with the different 287 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: things he can do. And you get a chance to 288 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: explore that a little bit more as we head to 289 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: the postseason. Wrapping up the Pro Bowl thing I've talked 290 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: about that Eagles defensive linebuck I just realize it's looking 291 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: at it now hasan Reddick twelve sacks, Hardgrave ten sacks, 292 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: Sweat nine and a half, Brandon Graham eight and a half. 293 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: They can they could end up with four players having 294 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: double digit sacks. I don't that surely that's never happened before. 295 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: I can't imagine we've ever seen anything like that before, 296 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: but it's never happened. I think they have some nickname, 297 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: um I think Stephen knows that was the sec Delphia 298 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: or some some silly that they put together. But I 299 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: do know their number one. Then they're they're like number 300 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: one in two categories, like the number one in sacks 301 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: and the number one in takeaways and so DJ when 302 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: we've talked about team building on on this show, we 303 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: talked about a you have your offense where you can 304 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: run it and do all the stuff that they can do, 305 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: and then you talk about having pass rushers and corners. 306 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: And when you look at the way that that team 307 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: is constructed, they have a championship roster because up front 308 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: they can rush you without having the blitz, and in 309 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: the back end they have corners cover corners. James Bradberry, 310 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: you have Darius Slay. Both of those guys can hold 311 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: their own within this scheme. And so to me, it's 312 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: the perfect construction of a roster. And I hate to 313 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: tell the rest of the league this, but it's only 314 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: gonna get worse because all those picks that they have 315 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: in the draft to either acquire young talent or to 316 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: ship and trade away to get more talent. It's a problem. 317 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: And so hats off to Howie and the staff because 318 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: they have done a really good job of I mean, 319 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: I guess doing a rebuilt on the fly, if we 320 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: can call it, because I never felt like they were 321 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: ever out of the mix. But they've rebuilt the team 322 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: while still being very competitive and now, man, they kind 323 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: of a bully on the block in the NFC, no doubt. Um, well, 324 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: this is a This is an Eagles team that's already 325 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: punched their ticket for the postseason. The game that you're 326 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: gonna be at two teams efforting to get there. That's 327 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: the Jags the Jets.

This 348 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: is the fun point of the year because we're getting 349 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: down the stretch. We only have a handful of games left, 350 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: and we're seeing teams kind of kind of line up 351 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: pole position to get into the postseason. Some of these 352 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: teams are already secured as division titlists, but then these 353 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: other teams are wild cards, and unlike previous years, now 354 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: of the wild card is wide open. You only have 355 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: one team in each conference that has uh by. Everybody 356 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: else has to play, and so no matter where you're getting, 357 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: you just want to get into the tournament. And so 358 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: it makes it really dangerous if you're one of these 359 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: teams that kind of sneaks in the back door, you 360 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: still have an opportunity to kind of make a run. 361 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: And so in thinking about those teams, the teams that 362 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: are kind of on the fringes, who are some of 363 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the teams that you think might be most dangerous if 364 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: they get into the turn Well, I always say the 365 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: same thing when we're talking about teams that you keep 366 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: an eye on heading into the postseason. And there's literally 367 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: two items that I check off the list. It's do 368 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: you have a high end quarterback that can help kind 369 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: of carry you through a little bit of a run 370 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: and do you have a pass rush? Because in the postseason, 371 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: those are the two things that matter, maybe more than 372 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: anything else. Being able to get after the quarterback affect 373 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback and having one of your own that can 374 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: make things happen to make place. And if we start 375 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: in the a f C. Buck that's first and foremost. 376 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: When you look at the top three scenes. We've talked 377 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: about it before, but when you look at Josh Allen, 378 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and Joe Burrow, like, you better have an 379 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: offense at least has the capabilities of getting to thirty points, 380 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: and you better have a pass rush that can try 381 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: and slow that train down a little bit with those guys. 382 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: So when I look at those teams, you know, the Ravens, 383 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: you know, Lamar comes back, Okay, you've got You've got 384 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and they can play the game a little 385 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: differently there, and that's a dangerous group. But pass rush wise, 386 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that that pass rush, you know, instills 387 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: a ton of fear into me. Um. You know, when 388 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: I look at him, I can pull up the I'll 389 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: pull up the stats here just so I can, you know, 390 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: make sure that I'm not missing something. But when I 391 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: look at them as a you know, as a defense, 392 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: and I look at what they have up front, I 393 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: don't think they're in the same group as some of 394 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: these other ones that that we see along the a 395 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: f C. So when we look at sack leaders, Baltimore 396 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: is up there. I mean, they've got forty two sacks, 397 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: so they're still up there one two, three four, their 398 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: fifth in the league in sacks. But I still I 399 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: think that's a combination of how they're getting home Justin 400 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: Houston's had a good year. But don't I don't fear 401 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: that they don't have a dominant the dominant pass rushers, 402 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, to take it over, to take it over. Yeah, 403 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: they have. They have what we call a smoking mirrors 404 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: pass rush. They do it by the design more by 405 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: scheming as opposed to just superiority at the point of attack. 406 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: And maybe you can continue to outscheme everybody when you 407 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: get into the postseason, but when you're playing against the 408 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: better teams, sometimes you just gotta have a guy that 409 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: is better than the opponents guy, and that guy wins. 410 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna take what 411 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: you said because that is the recipe. You gotta have 412 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: a superstar quarterback and you didn't have a dominant pass 413 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: rush with the team that you covered every week, the charges, 414 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: they're the team that's really ripe to make a run. Okay, 415 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: they've dealt with all the adversity throughout the course of 416 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: the year. Brandon stately has talked about all the things 417 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: that had overcome just to get to this point they 418 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: now are getting back healthy and having all of their 419 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: guys back and ready to go okay. So offensively, we 420 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: talked about Mike Williams, Keenan Allen. You have the emergence 421 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: of DeAndre Carter, you have Josh Palmer, you have other weapons. 422 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: You have Austin Ekeler who's playing at a nice level 423 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: making plays. You have Justin Herbert, who I still think 424 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: and take his game up and not even though each 425 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: and every week we see him play at a superstar level. Defensively, yeah, 426 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: we can talk about their running game issues and that, 427 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: but every now and then Brandon stately pulls out a 428 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: performance where he reminds you that you know, he's pretty clever, 429 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: he's pretty creative, and in a matchup league against the 430 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: right team, they can give people problems. And so when 431 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: you have Derwyn James and you have Joey bo saying, 432 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack and those guys, you have enough star power 433 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: on the defense to make a handful of players. Because 434 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: remember we're not talking about necessarily being able to shut 435 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: you out. We're talking about being able to play complimentary defense. 436 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: Where my offense is scoring points and now all I 437 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: have to do is get a handful of stops, and 438 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: I gotta be able to close the game out, and 439 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: close the game out comes down to the pass rush. 440 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: And so yeah, the charge is a well positioned to 441 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: be one of those teams that we talked about being 442 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: a lower seed who might find their way into the 443 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: championship game. Yeah. I know, you know, Ravens fans are 444 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: probably hammering me because Justin Houston has nine sacks. He's 445 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: been there, go to edge rusher, and I know you 446 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: look at the Chargers stat told you just brought them up, Buck, 447 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: The stats are not there because Bosa hadn't played. Khalil 448 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: Max got seven. But when you get Bosa back and 449 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: he's taking his time to come back because he wants 450 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: to come back healthy, and you enter into a playoff game, 451 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa can take over a game on the edge. 452 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's somebody you have to worry about. 453 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: And then that frees up Khalil Mack with that two 454 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: headed monster, which we haven't seen all year long. So 455 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: throw the stats, the regular season stats where it's kind 456 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: of a group effort. As you were mentioning in the playoffs, 457 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: it's about some of that individual effort, winning one on 458 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: ones and beating good players. And I think if you 459 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: get Joey Bosa back, you've got a chance to do that. 460 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: The Dolphins, I think they have guys that can win 461 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: up front on their defensive line as well, and you 462 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: look at two of with their passing offense. I think 463 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: what they did going on the road against Buffalo, I 464 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: think you've got to put them as a team that 465 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: could make a run. They could go on and they 466 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: we saw him with Buffalo. I think they can compete 467 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: with Kansas City, and I think they can compete with Cincinnati. 468 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: I think they're they're a team that you gotta worry 469 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: about in the postseason. Yeah, you absolutely have to rerout 470 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: them in the postseason. Here's here's the caveat though. They 471 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: got to get back to running the football. And I 472 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: know there's a fascination Mikey Daniel wants to push the 473 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: ball down the field and he wants to throw it 474 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: to the Speasters. But they have such a good running 475 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: game when they commit to it, that that could be 476 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: the path to really open up the field for Tyreek 477 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: Hill and others and so a lot of it depends 478 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: on the play caller. If Mike McDaniel will just commit 479 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: to running the ball and running the ball like frequently times, 480 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have more than enough weapons to be able 481 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: to do it. And I think what you want to 482 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: do with their defense, their defense is solid, but I 483 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: won't say it's overwhelming, and so you want to minimize 484 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: the opportunities that they have to go in the field. 485 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: And the one thing you can do that is by 486 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: shrinking the game with the running attack. And so if 487 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: they play a certain way, yeah, they can be very 488 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: very problematic for teams they have to face them in 489 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: the postseason. So I think we're you know, those are 490 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: the teams Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins in whatever order. I think 491 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: we both and uh know, kind of listen to this 492 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: discussion or prope With the Chargers there is the most 493 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: dangerous if they're healthy and and Botha comes back to 494 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: what he's been, I think they've got a chance to 495 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: be a really dangerous group. But the Dolphins and the 496 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Ravens as well, NFC wise, not as many good UH 497 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: teams I think capable of going on a run. In 498 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: terms of wild card teams, buck are we uh, are 499 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: we both singing the same song? Here? With the Cowboys, 500 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: I would imagine I mean, yeah, I mean but I'm 501 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: worried about their run defense. Yeah, but they are talented 502 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: enough to make a run and if they use their 503 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: offense to be their best defense, yeah, they can do it. 504 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: I will say the one thing that Cowboys fans should 505 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: be able to lean to is Tyrman Smith came back 506 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: last week and what they did is they put him 507 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: at right tackle, left Tyler Smith at left tackle. And 508 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: so now what you have is a situation where have 509 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith and Zach Morton on the same side. Um, 510 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: they started to do this. They ran about forty one 511 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: times against the Jaguars and they only average three point 512 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: nine yards could carry. But DJ, in my mind, what 513 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: I could envision this team being a real heavy ground 514 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: and found team. As you get into the postseason, Dak 515 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: Prescott struggled with the turnovers. Hey, let's lean on Tony 516 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: poll Ze. Can Elliott run the ball more? And then 517 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: when it comes to Michael Parsons, because I thought about 518 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: you when I'm sitting there on the field level, Michael 519 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: Parsons runs past Brandon Sheriff on a sack DJ He 520 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: ran past him so quickly, Um that it was the 521 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: matchup that you talked about, being able to put number 522 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: eleven on any guard and allowing him to utilize his 523 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: speed and quickness to get home. That is a problem 524 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a problem for people in the postseason. 525 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: The other area where the Cowboys are struggling, the corner 526 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: opposite Trayvon Diggs has been a revolving door. They've got 527 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: young players playing there, They're susceptible to double moves in 528 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: big plays. They have a few things that they need 529 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: to shore up before they get in the postseason, before 530 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: you can really say that this is a title contender, 531 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: but they certainly have enough talent to be able to 532 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: do it. It'll be up to Dan and Queenn to 533 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: get those those those issues rectified so they can play 534 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: their best in the postseason. And I think you look 535 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: at the Giants and the Commanders, they have defensive fronts 536 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: that can keep them in games. I like you talk 537 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: about that formula quarterback pass rush. I think both those 538 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: teams have upside there with their front and getting get 539 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: Chase Young back here for the Commanders this week, that 540 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: will add to their group we know what the the 541 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Giants look like as cave On Thibodeau is starting to 542 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: take that next step, and your guy big Dexter in 543 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: there as well. So they've got they've got a group 544 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: that's that's strong and impressive. I just don't think either 545 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,239 Speaker 1: one of those teams have the quarterback currently where they 546 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: can go on any type of a deep run in 547 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Now they don't have the fire power. But 548 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: here here's the problem. We're playing those teams, and I 549 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: would say this point the Giants, in particular, their style 550 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: lens for them to always be in the game. Right there. 551 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: They're the team that doesn't necessarily mess the game up. Okay, 552 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: so they're not going to turn it over. They play 553 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: really good red zone defense, They have a star running 554 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: back where they can feed him and they're not afraid 555 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: to feed him thirty to thirty five times. And then 556 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: there are enough players on their defensive front that can 557 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: take it over. And talk about Dexter Lawrence, you talking 558 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: about cave On thibodeauho had a big game last week 559 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: against the Commanders. Uh, some of the other guy disease Laurie. 560 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: They have enough where they can create enough turnovers and 561 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: kind of steal some points to really make it tight 562 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: on you. And so that record that you see in 563 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: the lower third eight too, and one in one possession 564 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: games in the playoffs where the pressure makes the game 565 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: tighter and you feel the ebbs and flows of games. 566 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: The Giants are team, it's a little tricky and so 567 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: depending on the match of who they're paired against in 568 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: the postseason, yeah, they could be a team that gives 569 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: you a little problem. I can't think. I don't think 570 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: they can go to the title game, but I definitely 571 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: think they can win a game if they're batch up 572 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: with the right opponent in the first round, man, no doubt. 573 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: So there you have a little, uh, a little look 574 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: ahead here to the postseason and these teams that get 575 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: in that that could all change here as we finish 576 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: up these last three weeks of the season. Again, looking 577 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: forward to that uh fun chat there, Buck, We're gonna 578 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna get into the Christmas spirit a 579 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: little bit. We're gonna get to a wish list for 580 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: the team's picking in the top five. See if we 581 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: can't find a way to help them out and give 582 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: them a very happy holiday, I'll do that, right after 583 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: this buck as we head towards Christmas, head towards the holidays. 584 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: Here we've got the top teams in the upcoming draft. 585 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: In terms of the top five picks. I thought we 586 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,239 Speaker 1: could kind of stuff their stocking a little bit here, 587 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: just in terms of position at direction. We think they 588 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: could go here with these teams holding the top five picks, 589 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: and we can start with the first one here, the 590 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: Houston Texans holding the first overall pick. Uh, you get 591 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: the shop form. What do you want to do here? Oh? 592 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean I think for them, they wanted to do 593 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: the Davis Mills experiment. But then I think it's very 594 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: obviously they need a quarterback. You know, they lit a 595 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback out of the building and DeShawn Watson. They 596 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: need to bring up franchise quarterback back. And so the 597 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: board is why i'd opened for them. We can talk 598 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: about the top candidates in the draft. You can talk 599 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: about Operation Young and see j Stroud, you number will 600 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: love us. Whoever it is, they have to find the 601 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: guy that is the right fit for how this team 602 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: wants to go. And before they do it, they gotta 603 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: figure out who's gonna be the coach there long term, 604 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: whether it's Lovey Smith or somebody else, all hands need 605 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: to be on deck. They've gotta be an agreement on 606 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: how this team wants to play long term, and then 607 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: they just need to make sure they make the appropriate 608 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: pick to fit the playing style and the vision for 609 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: how this team should be built. Yeah, I'm looking quarterback 610 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: with them. I mean, I think this is the time 611 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: they've got the first pick. It's gonna be a chance 612 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: try and get this thing up and running. They don't 613 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: have the quarterback on campus. It just feels to me 614 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: like that's that's a direction they end up going. And 615 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about these guys in this class, 616 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: and we'll get to it as we get a little 617 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: bit closer. But you know, I can make a strong 618 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: case that Bryce Young, with his skill set and how 619 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: he plays, could fit could work there with the Houston 620 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: Texans the Bears with the second overall pick, Buck, I 621 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: think it's it's gotta be offense. It's got to be 622 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: a combination. When you look at at the Bears with 623 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: the number two overall pick of a playmaker or an 624 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. And I don't know that with the second 625 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: pick a playmaker is gonna be worth that second overall pick. 626 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: So I think you're probably looking at an offensive line 627 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: and maybe you're trying to get the heck out of 628 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: there trade back. Maybe somebody wants to come up for 629 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: a quarterback and position yourself a little bit better. Yeah, 630 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: it's funny because their their pick may not match the 631 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: board in their needs. You know, it may not match 632 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: the value of what a playmaker. Um playmaker too. Man, 633 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about a gold jacket worthy guy. And I 634 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: don't know if there's that player in the draft. And 635 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: so if they can get out, they would probably be 636 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: more beneficial for them to get out to get extra 637 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: picks and to find a player that is more appropriate 638 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: value where they're selecting. If not, then about the offensive tackle. 639 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: It's about finding a way to protect the franchise. And 640 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: that's Justin Fields. And if you go this road with 641 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: Justin Fields being the quarterback that he's been playing the 642 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: way that he's played, yeah, you gotta make sure you 643 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: protect him. And oh, by the way, I'll say this, 644 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say this to the Bears. If Justin 645 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: Fields is going to continue to play that way, somewhere 646 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: in the draft, you need to draft another guy that 647 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: is very similar another one to you him in terms 648 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: of stylar play, because he's already shown he's been beat 649 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: up a little bit or whatever, just like the Ravens 650 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: have had to use Tyler Huntley and those things. You 651 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: need to have another gown on campus that can do 652 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: some of the same things that Justin Fields can do, 653 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: so your office doesn't have to change, no doubt. Interesting 654 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: thoughts there with the Bears Seahawks third overall pet courtesy 655 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: the Denver Brown goes in the Russell Wilson trade. What 656 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: are you thinking for them? Where would you go here 657 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: for the little Christmas wish list? Well, if I put 658 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: on my Peak Carroll Nike Monarchs and begin to think 659 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,239 Speaker 1: like he would think it's gonna be a pass rusher, there' 660 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: will be somewhere on the somebody on the front line 661 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: that can disrupt the past. But because when you go think, 662 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: we all the creatures have ha it right. And so 663 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll won a Super Bowl when they were able 664 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: to run the football. They had afficient quarterback play, but 665 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: they had a dominant defense. Uh, they had the Legion 666 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: of Boom And when I look, I kind of see 667 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: the recreation of the Legion of Boom with Kobe Bryant 668 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: and then two read will it So now they need 669 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: another pass rushing to give them what they had up 670 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: front when they had Michael Bennett and Cliff April and 671 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: Chris Clemmons and all those guys playing on the front line. 672 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: They need a pass rusher and so they you see 673 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: it a man from Alabama. I would kindly take him, 674 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: and if he's available with the second third overall pick, 675 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: we are going to because he's a guy. I mean, 676 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be a hard one. We don't need to 677 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: call and do the verification and all this out that 678 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: we normally do a scale. Today, I need to talk 679 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: to him his mom and dad. Nope, we're gonna hand 680 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: the card in and we'll figured out because he is 681 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: a really talented player and I think he'd be the 682 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: perfect fit in that. Yeah, I like it too. I 683 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: also look at defensive interior guys. You look at Jalen 684 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: Carter could be an option there as well. Just any 685 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: type of defensive lineman front seven dominant players that can 686 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: make an impact. I think they'll be able to find one. 687 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: They're the Lions um Again. This is courtesy of the 688 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: Ram so a couple of teams picking up here that 689 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: are having good seasons, um, but picking high because of trades. 690 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: They have the pick from the Rams defensive tackle. To 691 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: me for the Lions, I like what they've got on 692 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: the outside. Now you're seeing James Houston come along along 693 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: with Adan Hutchinson. I wouldn't mind, and I like Lean McNeil, 694 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: but putting another defensive tackle in the mix there kind 695 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: of build that wave of a defensive line. Um, that's 696 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: the direction I would go for a team that already 697 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: has a really good offensive line, continue to add resources 698 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: to that defensive front. Yeah, that's funny. I mean the 699 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: lines are kind of like the perfect example of how 700 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: you can do this thing through the draft. Like they've 701 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: got a piece in it together. You look at the 702 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: ricky class and how the rookie classes performing. They have 703 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: four rookie starters or rookie players that are playing heavy 704 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: in rotation that have contributed to the team. And we 705 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: talked about it. You have to be able to build 706 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: your team in the trenches, and so they've done a 707 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: great job on offense, may fortified the defensive line. You 708 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: have to get Aidan Hutchinson and interior playmate, because if 709 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: you give him someone on the inside that can command 710 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: some attention, man, his game will explode at the next level, 711 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: much like we saw with Justin Smith was able to 712 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: do when Alan Smith was in San Francisco. And what 713 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: some of these talented d tackle edge rusher combinations that 714 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: being able to do. That's what I want for Aidan Hutchinson. 715 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm looking. I'm scaring looking for the best 716 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: pass rushing defensive tackle that I can find, and I 717 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: want to put them in place and put them in 718 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: the line uniform. All right, last one here, the Cardinals, 719 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: they hold the fifth pick. I'm gonna give you two options. 720 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you pick here, which one would you 721 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: rather go? Which direction? Look at the offensive line, a 722 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: lot of holes up there. Uh. You can also look 723 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: at the corner position where they desperately need some assistance 724 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: as well. So between those two, which way you're going, 725 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: uh normally to fall off is more dramatic at the 726 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: offensive line. So if I can get the best offensive lineman, i' 727 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: gonna take the best offensive player to kind of fix 728 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: that offensive line. I know my guy Kyla Murray may 729 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: not be back for most of the year next year, 730 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: But I still need to think about it building the 731 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: team with him. And we've signed him. He's gonna be there. 732 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: We paid him a bunch of money. I want to 733 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: protect him. I think we can find the corners um 734 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: down the line. I think we can find those guys 735 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: and later around. So I don't know if I want 736 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: to get a corner in the top five. Um, you know, yeah, 737 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm right now. I'm leaning towards the offense, making sure 738 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: that the quarterback is everything that he needs to be 739 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: the player that he should be and that he can 740 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: be in Arizona, the third option there will be an 741 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: ed dresser as well, because they have some needs out 742 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: there on the edge. Look, they earned their pick up 743 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: there picking up there with the I mean they need 744 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: they could address they need a lot. DJ. It's it's 745 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: funny to watch this team and to think about, you know, 746 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: team as a playoff team a year, you gonna have 747 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: so many holes and so many things they have to feel. 748 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: It's almost like, I mean, like a full rebuild project 749 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: because as an old team and and and so like 750 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: when you're old like that, they gotta flip the script 751 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: and flip it in a hurry, No doubt, all right, Well, 752 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: this has been a fun one. I hope you have 753 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: a wonderful game back this evening. Again.
