What's up 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: everybody walking to Move the Sticks presented by Zaxby's A 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: Week two of the National Football League. A lot of 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: good action on the field, but man, a lot of 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: injuries have piled up this week. Buck Red, it's great 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: to have you guys with me here on the Move 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: the Sticks Takeaway show and Buck just biggest takeaway outside 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: of the massive amount of injuries we saw this week, DJ, 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: I think that has to be the biggest takeaway just 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: the health of the players. So many injuries, so many 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: big time guys going out, and some of these are 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: season and injuries, is going to force coaches and teams 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: to really adjust on the floor. Yeah, you know what, 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: I kind of set my sources out to kind of 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: get to put their ear to the ground after this 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: so week Sunday, and basically what I came up with 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: here is, Uh, there's a lot of talk, a lot 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: of mention of move the Sticks on that. What's a 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: all the around the league show that they do. Um 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 1: and Yeah, yeah, a lot of move the Sticks talk 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: on this last Uh, that's just that is from a 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: pseudo friend of mine. Um As you know, I'm not 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: a listener, so I just rely on my sources to 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: relay that information. So I just wanted to let you 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: know that before we dig in here to this ten 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: takeaway pot. That's fine. I saw that cute video of 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: Greg water skiing the other day on social media. Is fun, 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: very cute, uh buck. Let's get to the takeaways here. 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: Let's start off. We've got ten big ones. Why don't 31 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: you give us the first one as it relates to 32 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Cowboys win ugly good snap, good home forty 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: six yards, yes, sir, kiss that pig. The final score 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Dallas forty a lot of thirty nine. You know, when 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: you look at the Cowboys game, it is one of 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: the more amazing games that I've ever watched. Uh in 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: my lifetime, I've never seen a team to have as 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: many miskews as the Cowboys had overcome it. Four first 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: quarter fumbles, three of those they were lost to bots, 40 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: fake punt attempts, going for a two point conversion well 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: before you needed to, and they still somehow found a 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: way to win because they got an onside kick at 43 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: the end. Dak Prescott was amazing four hundred and fifty 44 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: yards passing one touchdown past three rushing touchdown. Zeke Elliott 45 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: had over a hundred and twenty total yards on twenty 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: eight touches. They somehow found a way to overcome it. 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you, if I'm a Cowboys player, 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: if I'm a coach, when we look at the tape, 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna walk around really trying to figure out how 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: good can we be because I really don't know what 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: they can build on. It was that scattershot of a performance. Yeah, 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, I look, I I look at this thing, 53 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: and I want to flashback to my takeaway from last 54 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: week when I said that the Falcons were the best 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: on site kick team in football. They apparently have the 56 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: worst hands team in football. I just let that ball 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: sit around there. Look, I know that you're you know, 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to, you know, go out 59 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: there and touch it before ten yards so that it 60 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: becomes a live ball. But man, you gotta you gotta 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: attack it at some point. You can't just sit there 62 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: and let the Cowboys steal this victory, which is what 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: they did. And Bucky, you said, you've never seen it well, 64 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: that's it's like, literally, you have it. This is like 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: the first time since nineteen thirty three that a team 66 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: that has scored thirty nine or more points and been 67 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: on the benefit of four plus fumbles or turnovers that 68 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: previously there were four hundred forty and zero. They had 69 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: won four hundred forty straight times, scoring thirty nine plus 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: points and getting not many turnovers and without a turnover 71 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: on their own side. And this the Falcons now the 72 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: first team to lose in that kind of situation. It 73 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: was it was bad. DJ No, it was bad. I'll 74 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: tell you what. Dak Prescott was impressive in that second half. 75 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: Went back and watched it. It It was a lot of 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: three by one formation. It was a lot of attacking UH, 77 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: safeties and linebackers in coverage. I thought it was a 78 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: nice job of using that scheme to find matchups. They're 79 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: able to get wide receivers uh. He saw it with 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: a Mark Cooper on one deep post where he got 81 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Kian O'Neil. He saw them work Dion Jones in the 82 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: middle of the field. UH with with the Ceedee Lamb 83 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: on a couple occasions. They just found ways to get 84 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: matchups in their favor. And I think you can be 85 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: encouraged if you're a Cowboy fan because when you look 86 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: around this division, Buck kind of the last thought on 87 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: this takes away from you. But to me, when you 88 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: look at this division talent wise, I don't think it's close. 89 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: I know that the records aren't great in this division, 90 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: but to me, the Dallas Cowboys their their roster stacks up, 91 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: it's it's a much better roster and everybody else in 92 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: that division right now it is a much better ruster. 93 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, DJ, because you pointed out Dek Prescott. 94 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: The one thing that the Cowboys might have uncovered. They 95 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: played up tempo after they got down, and Derek Prescott 96 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: found his rhythm playing fast. You may see the Cowboys 97 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: kind of live in that fast paced no offense because 98 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: it really helped their offense and their offensive line. There, 99 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you, gonna get you to take away 100 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: too here. I will say that a Louikhan is the 101 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: next Peanut Tillman with forcing fumbles. He had some textbook 102 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: punch outs as a linebacker for the Falcons. All right, 103 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: I'll get you to take away number two here. I'm 104 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: gonna stick right in the NFC East where I had 105 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: the question, like, now, what for the Philadelphia Eagles one 106 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: way action looking for the end side of a second 107 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: Darius Williams pick in front, I'm j jrt tle white side. Well, 108 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: this is what golf versus wins. You guys want to 109 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: go back and do another show. Uh so this is 110 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: number one and number two back in two thousand and sixteen, right, 111 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: and uh look, this time it belonged to Jared Goff, 112 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: who completed thirteen straight passes to open this game, the 113 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: longest such streak of his career thus far. Meanwhile, Carson 114 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: Wentz and the Eagles, who built a big lead in 115 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: Week one, only to see the Washington football team scored 116 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: twenty seven on answer to come back and beat them 117 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: this time, build a huge deficit and found themselves down 118 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: one twenty two rather yeah, one to three. Early in 119 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: this game, at the end of the first quarter, Miles 120 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: Sanders fumbled on the third play. But to me, this 121 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: game comes down to Carson Wentz, and it really comes 122 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: down to one throw for Carson Wentz, and it came 123 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the third quarter, after the Eagles 124 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: had fought their way back. It was game this was 125 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: a chance to go ahead with a go ahead touchdown. 126 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: He has J j R. Fagal whiteside wide open, has 127 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: two yards of separation down in the middle of the 128 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: end zone. He's got no pressure, clear lane to throw 129 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: the ball and just whifts it, I mean, and just 130 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: throws it behind late, didn't have enough zip on it, 131 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: and it was picked off. And from that point on, 132 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: and you're like, man, that does not sound like the 133 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, who like, the last time these two teams 134 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: meant in a regular season game that really meant something 135 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: back what was it in seventeen or eighteen his m 136 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: VP candidacy back in that regular season before they went 137 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: on to win the Super Bowl. That's a throw he makes. 138 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: It's a throw. He didn't make it this game. And 139 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: now it leads to the question, like, what's what's going 140 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: on with Carson Wentz and the Eagles here? Yeah, you know, 141 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: it's funny read you bring that up about Carson Wentz 142 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: because they're open conversations about the regression. I think the 143 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: one thing that you want to see from the Eagles 144 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: going forward is how can they alleviate some of the 145 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: pressure on Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Certainly, here's the outside noise. 146 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: He knows that he's expected to be the franchise quarterback, 147 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: but sometimes that can work against him. He can work 148 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: against himself by putting too much pressure on them. So 149 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: can they find a way to generate a running game? 150 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Can they find a way to give him some easy 151 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: throws where you can rebuild and repair his shaking confidence. 152 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: That is the task that's in front of Doug Peterson 153 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: and that offensive staff. They have to figure out a 154 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: way to make their quarterback better. That is on the 155 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: coach is more so than Carson Wentz. Yeah, it's interesting, 156 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: but because we I kind of come out of from 157 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a different point, and after watching it today, I think 158 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has got to go back to the body 159 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: shop and get realigned footwork wise. It was awful when 160 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: you when you watch this tape and you've seen it 161 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: with quarterbacks a lot of times, you see guys that 162 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: get too narrow with their feat right, and then what 163 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: that leads you to overstride. He is so wide with 164 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: his basse. I've never seen him like this before. He 165 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: is he is a mess with his feet. He is 166 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: so wide he cannot clear his hip. He cannot generate 167 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: the kind of throws he normally does. His accuracy suffers. 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: He threw an out route. There is an out route. 169 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: I think it's zach Ertz that he can make in 170 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: his sleep. I mean, it's an easy throw. Carson has 171 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: a huge arm, but his base is so wide the 172 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: ball takes off on him. It's sails not even close. 173 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: Uh So to me, when you watch these two quarterbacks 174 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: in this game, and I've seen Carson Wentz played at 175 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: m VP level. We saw Carson Wentz last year take 176 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: a team of of nobody's at the skill position and 177 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: elevate their level of play get them into the postseason. 178 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: So I've seen him do it. But when you watch 179 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks this like Jared Goff, the rhythm, the timing, 180 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: the quiet feet, but always on balance. They moved the 181 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: launch point, did some nice things schematically, but just mechanically. 182 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: You saw two quarterbacks buck I'll go back down that one. 183 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: But two quarterbacks in a totally different space when it 184 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: comes to their panics. Yeah, it is funny. DJ like 185 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: that Carson has been able to settle in and get 186 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: comfortable some of that obviously, maybe due to the injuries, 187 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: and you never know how that impacts your mind and 188 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: what you're thinking about, particularly if you're playing behind a 189 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: shaky offensive line. You just don't know how that cloud 190 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: at him. But I do believe Doug Peterson and those 191 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: guys have to see that part of it, and and he 192 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: does have to go to the body shop and get 193 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: that repaired. But what can we do to take some 194 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: of the pressure off of him? Can we create and 195 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: manufacture or running game. Can we do some other things 196 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: so he doesn't feel like he has to make plays 197 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: thirty five forty times a game where we're having to pass. 198 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: Let's run. Find a way to lighten his loads so 199 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: he can get back to being a quarterback. That um 200 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: was the franchise quarterback and I got to play at 201 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: the MVP level. Yep, that's that's a challenge there for 202 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: Coach Peterson and the Philadelphi Eagles. Oh and to not 203 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: not a good time to be in Philadelphia and turn 204 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: on the radio. I can promise you that. All right, 205 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: let's get to my first takeaway here. I got a 206 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: chance to go to that Chargers Chiefs game, and uh, 207 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: we'll get to rookie quarterback here in a second. But 208 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: my first takeaway was that this is the blueprint. Gus Bradley, 209 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: he does have the blueprint to at least slow down 210 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: this Kansas City offense with along of forty three and 211 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: that's his first ever sack of bones. And you'll see 212 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: Bosa on Schwarts too. Great football players, but both having 213 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: a day right now. Well, I've seen this Chargers defense 214 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, one of the few teams 215 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: that's been able to slow down Patrick Mahomes last year. 216 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: In both those games the Chargers loss, but turnovers where 217 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: the issue. They were able to hold Mahomes under two 218 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: hun passing yards in each of those contests. And this game, 219 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: you look up and we're you know, we're in the 220 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: middle of the fourth quarter and the Chiefs I believe, 221 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: had nine points at that point in time before they 222 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: went on to UH to score and get a two 223 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 1: point conversion which ended up pushing this thing UH to 224 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: a tie game, sending it on into overtime. We'll get 225 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: to Justin Herbert and his his performance in just a minute. 226 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: But I thought their ability to rush for UH, their 227 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: ability to for the most part keep the ball from 228 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: sailing over their heads. Had the one big play to 229 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: Tyree kill Um that was the time they allowed the 230 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: deep shot. But other than that, keep it in front 231 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: of your rally tackle. UM, get home with four. You 232 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: better have linebackers that can run. Kenneth Murray being able 233 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: to run with Tyreek Hill on one player get a 234 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: p BU. I think you can tell Tom Jalesco is 235 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: trying to build this defense to to be able to 236 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: at least slow down this juggernaut offense in Kansas City. 237 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: You know what. The one thing I'll say on that 238 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: on on the defenses, and we talked about it a 239 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: little bit on the phone last night. We're talking about 240 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: this is like if you'd have told the Chargers that 241 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: you were only going to give up one explosive play 242 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: for a touchdown in this game, you'd be like, heck, yeah, 243 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: that's a win, you know. I mean like, this is 244 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: a team that's used to two, three, four of those 245 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: a game, and as you mentioned, they only gave up 246 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: the one. UM. I'll say this on the rookie quarterback. 247 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: We're searching for moments for quarterbacks like this and and 248 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: in this league in general, for players who are searching 249 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: for moments that will define who they are, who they 250 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: will be moving forward. The throw to Keenan Allen was 251 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: a moment in that game for Justin Herbert in his 252 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: debut in the NFL. That is a big time, big 253 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: boy eight throw. I know you'll dig into that. Um 254 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: My last thing here for the Chiefs is, you know 255 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: the butt kicker, three straight fifty plus yarders. Hit the 256 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: fifty three yarders that all start back him up, no problem, 257 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: time out nullifies it, gotta do it again, hits the 258 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: who does that? Who get three straight fifty yarders with 259 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: the game on the line. That was a big does 260 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: big time. But there's a lot to dig into on 261 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: this game, especially with that rookie cutie. Yeah, lots to 262 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: dig into. And I'm really intrigued by the rookie quarterback. 263 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go back to Patrick Mahomes and I 264 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: think this is what makes Pat Mahomes so tough to 265 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: defend critical situation third and twenty, Pat Mahomes drops back 266 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: the charges in soft zone coverage, He schools down the 267 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: middle and gets twenty one yards on a third and twenty. 268 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: And so when we talk about the athletic Quarterbaker and 269 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: kind of like the emergence of the athletic quarterback is 270 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: not necessarily the guys that are toting it all the time, 271 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: but the Gays who have the potential to get out 272 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: of trouble. Pat Mahomes is using his athleticism and his 273 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: running skills to get out of trouble and to really 274 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: have answers when some of the other questions pop up 275 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: based on how the teams are covering them. He did it. 276 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: He did it last year in Mexico City in their 277 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: game against the Charges. In this game, third and seven, 278 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: he had a fifteen yard run, third and five at 279 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: a ten yard run. You mentioned third, one yards, third 280 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: and three at a four yard run. Those are all 281 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: conversions using his legs and that that's what makes that 282 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: group so difficult to defend. And I've always impressed with 283 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: Mahomes and on those third downs when everything he kind 284 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: of speed up for some guys, it just all slows 285 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: down for him, and he's willing to say, Okay, there's 286 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: the three yards, I'm gonna go ahead and take him 287 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: and let's just extend the drive. Now. When it comes 288 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: to Herbert, it was weird calling this game with money. 289 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: We're up there in the booth and all of a 290 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: sudden they break the huddle. We're going waiting. Herbert's in there. 291 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: And my first thought was, Okay, they've got Herbert and 292 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: Tyrode out there. They're gonna run a trick play to 293 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: start the game. Uh. And then I look out there 294 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: like waits like Tyrode's not out there. This is Herbert. 295 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: So we did not know about the chest injury at 296 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: that time, or or you know, the breathing issues that 297 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: Tyrode might have been having. So we're flying blind and 298 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: we're like, okay, here we go, and it was off 299 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: and running it. We come to find out after the game. 300 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: That's basically when Herbert found out he was gonna start. 301 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: It was right before the game started. And and then 302 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: he's out there and he's going and uh takes a 303 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: team right down the field on that first drive. I thought, poise, 304 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: Uh for me, Buck, when you when you looked at Herbert, 305 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: he opened up the wrong way. Sometimes on some play 306 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: action fakes, there's one play where he sends a guy 307 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: in motion, then opens his wristband to look at the 308 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: play called to make sure he knows what he's doing, 309 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: then shut his wristband. I mean, all this stuff flying around. 310 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: But then once the ball was snapped outside of one 311 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: goofy throw where he tried to make a hero throw 312 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: on the move. I thought he handled himself very well 313 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: in that environment. You dig in there because DJ mentioned 314 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: poise from the rookie quarterback. I gotta say, um that 315 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: you know you DJ and and Money. You want to 316 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: talk about poise to be surprised at a new starting 317 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: quarterback as it was happening. In fact, Ryan Bartlett, I 318 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: think we I think we have I think we have 319 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: that for for the folks. I mean, you described it, 320 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: but let's actually here. Do you play that call for us? 321 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: And how about this? Justin Herbert is out to take 322 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: the first snap in a pistol formation, fakes the handoff. 323 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: Actually no, he does, in fact hand it off to 324 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, who pushes past all the way up near 325 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: the thirty. That's gonna be a gain of nine. He's 326 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: staying out there, Justin Herbert starting this game. No inclination 327 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: that that was gonna be the case at all. We 328 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: talked to Tom Tolesco, we talked to Anthony Lynn, and 329 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: what a secret as Justin Herbert makes his NFL debut 330 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: with a hand off to Austin Ekeler that goes for 331 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: nine now under center, the number six overall pick. We 332 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: had no idea RTT, we had no idea what he's 333 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: going on. It was totally fly by the seat ofor 334 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: pants at that point in time. Man, you can hear 335 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: it right there. Yeah, that's a. That's a that's a 336 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: remarkable recovery for you and money to be able to 337 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: come and make work right. Um. I'll say this about 338 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert h DJ. I felt like what I saw 339 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: was an extent of the way that Justin Herbert ended 340 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: his college career at Oregon UH in terms of the pois, 341 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: the leadership, the moxie, the playmaking ability utilizing his legs. 342 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: We saw that in the Pact we have championship game. 343 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: We saw that in the Rolls Bowl. The gay that 344 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: I saw in the stadium for the Chargers was the 345 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: same guy. I think that's something you should be very, 346 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: very encouraged by. If you had to charge of staff. Yeah, 347 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: I think you gotta be happy for Tom to Lesca. 348 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens if they go back to Tyrod 349 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: Taylor for a few weeks or not. But I know 350 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: it's not too big for Justin Herbert. That's the hurdle 351 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: he needed to clear in order to get out on 352 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: the football field. All right, Buck, what's your next takeaway? 353 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: The Titans are more than Derrick Henry Tannehill looking a throw, 354 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: plenty of time, light open new Smith into Jecksonville territory, 355 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: winder trying to chase him down, and he does but 356 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: play for Tennessee. So here's the thing you talking about 357 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: the NFL Russian leader, Derrick Henry. We talked about the 358 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and their identity and it was all about 359 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: Derrick Kiming. Their last four times that he played against 360 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, he was averaging a hundred and twenty five yards. 361 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: So the Jaguar came in to take him away, but man, 362 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: lord behold, Ryan Tannehill carved them up four touchdown passes, 363 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: did a great job of throwing off play action, utilized 364 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: all of his playmakers that was available. And the trick 365 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: was they didn't have a j Brown, So John neu 366 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: Smith getting eighty four yards, Corey Davis having thirty six 367 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown on a play action pass. Ryan 368 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: Tannehill settling in as a legitimate QB one for the 369 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans has given this offense balance. They are a 370 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: team that is very, very difficult to defend because they 371 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: play smash mouth, but their quarterback is so efficient throwing 372 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: off play action. Yeah, no question. And look, you know 373 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned a J. Brown is down that is your 374 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: best receiver last year. And I feel like John new 375 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: Smith has been smoldering as a potential breakout player, as 376 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: a real play maker for this offense and this season 377 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: so far, I think we've certainly seen that week too. 378 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: He gets the two touchdowns here, he was the entire 379 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: offense on that first touchdown drive ending in the end zone. 380 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: I think he's become a real weapon. So now you're 381 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: also starting to see Corey Davis makes some of that improvements. 382 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: See why the Titans made him the first receiver taken 383 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: back there in number five overall picks. So um, I 384 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: think you're starting to see a lot of those weapons 385 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: to your point there, Bucky start to come together to 386 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: where they don't just have to rely on carries from 387 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. But I'm really impressed with the way John 388 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: new Smith has come to play DJ. I'd like to 389 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: see a little bit better from that Titans defense. Not 390 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: giving up thirty plus to the Jaguars, but guys, quickly, 391 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: this a f C South is becoming a division to 392 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: be reckoned with. This is gonna be some fun fun 393 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: from top to bottom in a division that we thought, maybe, 394 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, the Texans might run away with this thing 395 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: once again, that the Colts might challenge. The Jaguars aren't 396 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: yet dead in this thing either. And they're one on 397 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: one coming into this week three here, and and they've 398 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: played pretty well in these first two weeks. I don't 399 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: know if there's a great team mass division, but the 400 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: fun is the word. It's fun to watch these teams 401 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: the way they play in that division. It's gonna be 402 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: interesting to see how that race comes down. My last 403 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: thought will kind of wrap this one. Uh, this takeaway 404 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: on this thought right here. If I'm Sam Donald's friend, 405 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: If I'm Sam Donald's best friend, I am sending him 406 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: highlight clips of Ryan Tannehill each and every week and 407 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: letting him know it's not over. Better days are ahead. 408 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: That one right there, All right, we'll give you the 409 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: takeaway is rolling here. We'll take away number five. Guys, 410 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: I've got this one. The Packers offense packs a punch 411 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: single resiper left Las give is to Jones up the 412 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: middle right raist. Yes it's gonna be Secretarius catch him 413 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: cuts down Ain Jones. Guys that run right there by 414 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, the longest by a Packer since I'm on 415 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: Green back in two thousand and four. The Packers guys 416 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: have now scored forty points in each of these first 417 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: two weeks. To say that a r clicking now in 418 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: year two with Matt Lafleur's offense is an understatement, just 419 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: a couple of notes of context here on the offensive 420 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: output thus far by the Packers. They're just the eighth 421 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: team in the Super Bowl era to score forty plus 422 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: points in each of their first two games of the season. 423 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: The last two teams to do that, by the way, 424 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: it went to the Super Bowl Broncos, OH nine Saints. 425 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: This is also the third time in the Super Bowl 426 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: era that the Packers have scored forty points in back 427 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: to back games. Each of the previous two seasons. Aaron 428 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: Rodgers went on to win the NFL m v P, 429 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: which he is certainly in the running for two games 430 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: in thus far. They are on fire right now, and 431 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: Aaron uh Dj has said that the difference with the 432 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: offense this year are the backs, and it's hard to 433 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: deny after the performance that Aaron Jones put up two 434 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: unter in thirty six scrimmage yards. Jamal Williams even provide 435 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: some real value for that team with some versatility. But 436 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: the running backs on this team are making this offense go. 437 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: By the way, Fonte Adams hamstring injury didn't even really 438 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: need him in this game. They were out good in 439 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: the run game and using the running backs in the 440 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: past game as well. You know, you know what what 441 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: I love about what the Packers are doing. There was 442 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: so much conversation about the Packers didn't get and Rodgers 443 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: more weapons, and I think what they knew is they 444 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: really liked the group that they had. You talked about 445 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: the running backs and Jones having a ridiculous game as 446 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: all purpose threat out of the backfield, and then the 447 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: young receivers spreading the wealth. The thing about where the 448 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: thing that we're talking about what Aaron Rodgers is Aaron 449 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers having a big game, but he didn't even put 450 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: up big numbers. The balance of this offense, I believe, 451 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: is really what Matt Lafleur, what his long term vision 452 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: was take some of the pressure off Aaron Rodgers. By 453 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: incorporating other people and not having to have Aaron throw 454 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: for four yards. Every game is working and the Packers 455 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: are very very dangerous on offense. One thing I would 456 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: just say, let me just offer some free advice when 457 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: I have When I have some free time, Um, I 458 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: like to go shoot some hoops. Uh got a little 459 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: hoop to get out there and do a little that. 460 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: I get a jog in. You've got go get on 461 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: the bike. I'm just Jordan's love. I'm here for you. 462 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: But whatever you need hobby wise, anything you want to do, 463 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: I can help you. You know, you got a little 464 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: downtime here for probably the next couple of years, So 465 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: just let me know if I can help that. It's 466 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: not just Jordan's love. By the way, A J. Dillon, 467 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: their second round pick, has played like twelve snaps the 468 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: first two games. Josepha Tagara has played twenty four snaps. 469 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: He didn't playing week two. So like they're getting zero 470 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: contributions from their first three draft picks this year and 471 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: they're still running with this thing in the NFC North 472 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: right now. I don't need him, don't need him, not 473 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: a big deal. All right, Let's get to my my 474 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: next takeaway here, and that was the Sunday night game, 475 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: which was a lot of fun. Russell and Cam living 476 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: up to the hype. Camp takes the snap, He'll keep 477 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: it running left side dies and he's tripped up shy 478 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: of the gold line. It's over. The Seahawks will hang 479 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: on and win. Newton kept it on a quarterback sweep 480 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: to the left. He went airborne, went down shy of 481 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: the gold line, and the Seattle Seahawks survive. Buck. A 482 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: couple of things for me, and this one number one 483 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: is we talked about the Patriots and their offense under 484 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady Morphing from week to week and we wanted, okay, well, 485 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: what would this offense look like with Cam Newton? Gonna 486 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: be very one dimensional. It's gonna be one style. No, 487 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: we saw them morph and show their ability to throw 488 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: the football. We saw we saw them attack in coverage, which, 489 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm giving you grief on this for 490 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: your Jamal Adams Defensive Player of the Year tweet, because 491 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: when I went back and watched that tape, they went 492 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: at him mercilessly in in the passing game, Buck, I mean, 493 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: they he was impactful when he's in the last scrimmage 494 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: and he's playing forward. He got torched by Edelman in 495 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: the passing game. But I thought, I thought the Patriots 496 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: showed you some versatility. Not only is Cam' gonna be 497 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: able to run, they showed you what that passing game 498 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: was all about. So I'll allow you to defend yourself 499 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: on the Jamal Adams tweet, and then I'll allow you 500 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: to talk about them being versatile offensively. Okay, because stal 501 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: makes fights and so because you come from the school 502 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: of Baltimore where you used to seeing Ed Reid, I'm 503 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: coming from Pittsburgh, place where Try Paul couldn't cover anybody. 504 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: Jam All Adams is Pete Carroll's Jamal Adams is Pete 505 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: Carroll's version of Troy Paulamala. When you look at the Seahawks, 506 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: they want to put him in the box and they're 507 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: basically using him as that. And so what is going 508 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: to happen when we tally it up at the end 509 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: of the year. He's gonna have about seven or eight sacks. 510 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna have some splash plays. And because this defense 511 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: is going to play at a higher level, that's why 512 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: he gets And I think the bigger thing, like flipping 513 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 1: it over. I'm really impressed with what the Seahawks are 514 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: doing with the wide receivers. I have never seen the 515 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: Seahawks go and attack mode, particularly against Stefan Gilmore. DK 516 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: Metcalf had his wayward Stephen Gilmore, and I saw your 517 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: tweet where you talked about him being a first round pick. Look, 518 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: it was hard to make him a first round pick 519 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: when you were in two routes. But what they've done 520 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: with him in Seattle, he runs those routes better than anybody. 521 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: He is a specimen. He is someone to be feared 522 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: as a vertical playmaker. Well, guys, you know, I think 523 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: on the Aftermath here which airs at three o'clock Eastern time, 524 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: and then Film Network, we're gonna get into the interesting symmetry. 525 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: But in this game between these two teams with the 526 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: script flipped a little bit and the Seahawks defense needing 527 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: a big stop on the one yard line there as 528 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots were going in for what would have been 529 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: a game winning touchdown. And you know, Mike Silver was 530 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: at that game talk to Bobby Wagner. Bobby said, I 531 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: told the team in the HUBBA before that play where 532 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: the ball was going and we're all going that way. Well, 533 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: there was one guy particularly listened to that message, and 534 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: that was the third year safety to his defensive snaps 535 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: doubled from week one to week two. So Presston a 536 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: duty and he comes firing off the edge submarines. Yakob Johnson, 537 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: the fullback, forces the early gets the early penetration, forces 538 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: Cam Newton to slow down, and allows l J. Collier 539 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: to come in there and clean things up and win 540 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: this game for the Seahawks. You want to talk about moments, 541 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: That was a huge play by dlane O Hill and 542 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: then also by LJ. Collier to clean that thing up 543 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: in that Seahawks defense to stand tall. Well, you mentioned 544 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: that and you revoke the evoked the memories I should 545 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: say of that that interception by Malcolm Butler, interception that 546 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: gave Tom Brady another Super Bowl win, which buck leads 547 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: me beautifully to our next transition, tom Brady's new team. 548 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: What was your takeaway from watching the Bucks? Leonard Fornet 549 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: showed up for that slashes the way to the forty 550 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: to thirty five, the thirty four five one touch stop chaff. 551 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: We're on the ball, Leonard fourn Wow, what a flashed 552 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: up the gut found daylight out ran everybody DJ. So 553 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: here's the thing about for Nets and the Buccaneers. The 554 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: Buccaneers played a rotation at running back, Ronald Jones, le 555 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: Shan McCoy. Those guys did the bulk the work. It 556 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: seemed like Leonard Frenette was kind of coming in every 557 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: third series, but when it got down to gotta win 558 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: it time, gotta have it time. The last two scoring drives, 559 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: Leonard Frenette was not only in there, but he gave 560 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: them big runs. On the scoring drive that led to 561 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: a field goal, he had a twenty five yard run 562 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: where he bursted out and then the last route to 563 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: really ice the game, the forty six yard touchdown run 564 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: twelve carries a hundred yards. What we're going to see 565 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: going forward as they get down the stretch, Leonard four 566 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: Nette is going to be a bigger part of the offense. 567 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: He gives them a big, physical back and enables them 568 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: to play big Way football, which is critical when you're 569 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: playing against some of these big teams. Yeah, and Rhett 570 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: real quick, just going back and watching that tape, Tom Brady, 571 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: I know those splits been the first half. In the 572 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: second half, there were some big drops. He missed a 573 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: couple throws he'd like to have back, but he had 574 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: gosh too for sure touchdowns that were dropped. Then another 575 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: one down the sideline that if Grayson catches it and 576 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: can stay in balance, he probably scores as well. So, uh, 577 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: they had some drop issues there. But I thought other 578 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: than that, Tom Brady, from week one to week two, 579 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: you've got to be excited about that improvement. Yeah, And 580 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, on the defensive side of the ball, I 581 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: thought they played pretty well, especially in the first half 582 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: as they forced some turnovers. And I think I talked 583 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: about it on this podcast here before, but Jason light 584 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: GM of the Bucks has not been afraid to throw 585 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: draft resources at the defensive backfield. I mean he has 586 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: drafted defensive backs wants seven of them since two thousand 587 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: and eighteen in the first four rounds of the draft. 588 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: And you know what, you can look at that two 589 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: different ways. Well, you know, some of them are working 590 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: out or you just keep trying to find ones that 591 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: are better. And I think it's finally starting to pay 592 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: off because Antoine Winfield has been the playmaker, the ball 593 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: hawk that they expected him to be. At his first 594 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: sack in this game a strict sack. In fact, that 595 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater Sean Murphy Bunting is playing really well in 596 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: the slot. Uh you know, Carlton Davis, Jamal Dean Jordan's whitehead. 597 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: They're getting contributions all over the place from those young 598 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: defensive backs and it's finally starting to all come together. 599 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: By the way, Justin Evans hasn't even really played yet, 600 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: So I think this is a talented group that they're 601 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: finally starting to see the fruits of their labor on 602 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: the scouting side of things, going out there and spending 603 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: all that draft cat ball on those dvs. Yeah, I 604 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: think it also showed that that Saints defense they played 605 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: against was on another level than what they saw with 606 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. So everybody freaked out after Week one, 607 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: but everybody just calmed down. Tampa Bay be okay, all right. 608 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: Getting right back here to the takeaways. Takeaway number eight, 609 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: the Steelers are the best at drafting wine outs looks 610 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: out to his left, lost one along the sideline going 611 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: for Chase Claypool, who catches it and strike Claypool stays abound, 612 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: crosses the fifty and the ten. The rookie Chase Claypool 613 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: in for his first NFL touchdown eighty four yards Roethlisburger 614 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: to Claypool. So look, I think I really wanted to 615 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: take out the takeaway to be like, I want to 616 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: be as good at something in life as the Steelers are. 617 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: And drafting wide receivers, I mean, you go all the 618 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: way back. I mean Plexico Burris in the first round, 619 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: s Antonio Holmes in the first round, but really as 620 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: of late in the later round, second and on these 621 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: last four years, Juju Smith, Schuster, James Washington has had 622 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: his moments, and then now recently Deonte Johnson last year 623 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: in the third round, and Chase Claypool. And while I'm 624 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: not ready to anoint Chase Claypool here, but that eighty 625 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: four yard touchdown was the thing of beauty I think 626 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: we saw in Week one. He's really added another to 627 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: mentioned to this offense. So the way the Steelers draft 628 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: line receivers, may they just they kind of keep that 629 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: stockpile going. We saw it back in the early part 630 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: of the decade with Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown and 631 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. Now we have Juju and Deonte Johnson, Claypool 632 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: and James Washington. That's a nice crew there, Bucky for 633 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger to work with. It is a nice crew 634 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisberger to work with. And everyone has been 635 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's the secret sauce to draft 636 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: the wide receivers based on the Pittsburgh steell is success 637 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: and one of the things that I believe they go 638 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: after they want tough guys. They go after guys that 639 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: are willing to mix it up, guys that have traits 640 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: that are very easy to develop, and then they put 641 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: them in a situation where they really asked to play 642 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: a specific role, and those guys have thrived. So you 643 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: talked about Claypool and Deonte Johnson, those guys making plays. 644 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: How we saw Juju Smith emerge right away as a 645 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: number two receiver opposite Antonio Brown. The Pittsburgh Stealers have 646 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: a clear vision for what they want playing outside. And oh, 647 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: by the way, it also helps to develop receivers when 648 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: you have a really, really good warterback. Amen, I'll tell 649 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: you what that's gonna leave me beautifully. The next takeaway 650 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: because another organization does a good job of identifying receivers 651 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 1: in the draft and free agency. It's the Los Angeles 652 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: Rams fix the hand off, rolls out to his right, 653 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: sets his feet, throws back left over the top to 654 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: the end zone, got by Tyler Higne. It's a three 655 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: touchdown day for Higgs. Yeah, this is a Rams offense. 656 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: You talk about the receivers, they've been able to go 657 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: out and get you. You get Robert Woods who came 658 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: over from the Buffalo Bills. Uh, you draft Cooper cup 659 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: Look at what they did drafting Van Jefferson, what he 660 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: brings to the table. I mean, this is a this 661 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: is a receiving corps that that's that's outstanding. And they 662 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: have a very interesting skill set because they're great route runners. 663 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: They catch everything, and I think that's one of the 664 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: things that helps this offense get into a rhythm. And 665 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: that was my big takeaway watching this team. Buck changing 666 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: the long launch point with Jared Goff. You saw him 667 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: under center, you saw him in the gun, you saw 668 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: him half rolling Booten. He just he was in a 669 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: flow early in this game. And you saw with the 670 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: completions just racking up one after another. Yeah. I think 671 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has really dusted off the old playbook. They've 672 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: gone back to twenty seventeen, they found a way to 673 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: get Jerry Gard very comfortable. You talk about the development 674 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: of their skill players, particularly to wide receivers. Eric Yarber 675 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: does a great job of taking guys who already have 676 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: great tools in terms of being craftsman route runners, and 677 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: he just continues to add stuff to their toolbox. These 678 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: guys do a great job of creating separation in space 679 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: and dj when we talk about this NFC West, the 680 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: NFC West is absolutely loaded because we're not even going 681 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: to talk about the team that we're pinky swaring ongoing, 682 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: but Calamari and the Cardinals joining the Rams, the San 683 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners and the Ctle Seahawks. Man, you better 684 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: grab the popcorn because it's gonna be a exciting division 685 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: to watch, espacially the Rams re emerging. Yeah. You know 686 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: the only thing I'll say about this Rams team, um 687 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: and you mentioned the variety of wine receiver, well, uh, 688 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh and and you know, let's needs ability to 689 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: identify running back talent to also making a conundrum for 690 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: fantasy football players out there who went and trafted Cam 691 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: Akers really early and then watch Malcolm Brown go off 692 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 1: in Week one against the Cowboys go pick him up 693 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, only to see Darryl Henderson go 694 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: off this week. So I think basically what we're saying 695 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: is stay away from all Rams Rams running backs, even 696 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: though they're providing in reality a pretty good punch for 697 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: that Rams attack. I'll wrap this takeaway up with this. 698 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: You're talking about fantasy football. If anybody feels bad about 699 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: their fantasy football lineup, I don't want to hear it. 700 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: You haven't seen mine, and my whole team has a 701 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: torn a c L at this point in time. So 702 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: crazy year. All right, Bucky, Let's keep things moving here 703 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: with the final takeaway. Here number ten on the list, 704 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: and you're gonna go to Buffalo for this one. Josh 705 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: Allen is clutch. Gosh Allen sets up deep, takes a 706 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: long look downfield, going deep again, He's got a man 707 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: right up and John Brownie makes a catch, touchdown, Touchdown, Buffalo. 708 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: What a play. Josh Allity waiting for that to develop 709 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,239 Speaker 1: and laid that out are perfectly You know DJ When 710 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: you look at Josh Allen, he man. He is a 711 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: spectacular athlete. We know about the arm talent. We've seen 712 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: him become one of the more dominant running quarterbacks in 713 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: the league. But this year it's really clicked for him. 714 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: Four hundred yards against the Miami Dolphins, four touchdowns. And 715 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: what I really like about the Buffalo Bills in the offense, 716 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: They've surrounded him with playmakers that really played to his strimps. 717 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs being the number one receiver making plays, was 718 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: targeted thirteen times, had a hundred and fifty three yards, 719 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: but John Brown averaging twenty yards of catch. So they 720 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: got the vertical stretch guys. But then Cole Beasley doing 721 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: in the slot. Josh Allen is as comfortable as I've 722 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: seen him. And look, if he continues to play this way. 723 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: We've talked about the Buffalo Bills overtaking the Patriots in 724 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: the a f C East. It's gonna come down to 725 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: quarterback play right now. Bill's mafia has to feel great 726 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: about their QB one. Yeah. I just kind of wrapped 727 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: that takeaway up with this buck we talked about. We've 728 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: used that in may analogy, right, being able to win 729 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: a fight when it goes in a different direction. And 730 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen is showing as a quarterback. It's 731 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: not only just him running around kind of playing reckless 732 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 1: and running over defenders. He's showing you he can win 733 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: from inside the pocket as well, winning on time with 734 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: accurate throws down the field. And that's scary because we 735 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: know what he can do when things break down. When 736 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: he can be as good on schedule as he has 737 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: off schedule, that is a major problem for the National 738 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: Football League.
