1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. Everybody, 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: what's up? Welcome to Move the Sticks, presented by the 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Fourth FI Serdies DJ Bucky. Here. This is our Week 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: fourteen ten takeaway podcasts. Some some big news, some big 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: performances in a in a really really impactful injury. We 6 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: have to get to today. But first of all, Buck, 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: how you doing, man? Then I'm doing grade. This is 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: my favorite part of the football season because now we're 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: getting down to crunch time and I think we can 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: really see the teams that are built to play in 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: the postseason and the teams that were quickly fall by 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: the wayside. I think you're seeing the teams that are 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: constructed the right way, meaning they're balanced, not solely depended 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: upon the quarterback, which just one player, have an opportunity 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: to go far into playoffs. Man, I'll tell you what 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: the college season. The regular season is over. I thought 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: the NFL stepped up some fantastic games, a couple overtime games, 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: games coming right down to the wire. Very entertaining week 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: of NFL football. But let's jump in right now. And 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: I hate to do is we gotta go to kind 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: of the worst news of the weekend. But I think 22 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: it is the biggest news story of the week, and 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: that is the injury to Carson Wentz. At this point 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: in time, it sounds like there's some image to the 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: A c L. We don't know the f they'll get 26 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: that when he gets back into Philadelphia. I'm sure I 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: have m R I on Monday and that news will 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: quickly come out. But it doesn't sound good Buck, You know, 29 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: if I was a betting man right now, with everything 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: that you hear, it sounds like this is probably gonna 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: end his season and this is a team with a 32 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: you know, got a big win. We'll get to this 33 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: game here in a second, but just what's your thoughts 34 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: initially on the impact of this injury to Carson Wentz, 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: who was really kind of the front runner for the 36 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: m v P. I mean, it's it's obviously crushing because 37 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: you see a young player who was coming to his 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: own in the second season. Uh, someone who is very athletic, 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: very dynamic, a guy who had complete control over the offense, 40 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: and you can see that this offense was built around 41 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: what he does very very well. The one thing that 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: I will say about the Philadelphia Eagles though, I think 43 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: if any team could withstand the loss of a quarterback, 44 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: I think their team can't. I think they've done a 45 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: great job of building up all the pieces around the 46 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: quarterback that Nick Foles and a pinch can step in 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: and still get them to win games. You look at 48 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: the pieces that they edited wide receiver, they have playmakers 49 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: are Sean Jeffrey, George Smith, uh Nelson Aguilar. They upgraded 50 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: the running game with Jagi joining the Garrett Blunt um. Defensively, 51 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: they have a deep and talented pass for USh, and 52 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: then they have some corners that are beginning to make 53 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: their impact in the back end. The Philadelphia Eagles are 54 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: more than Carson Wentz, and I know it's unfortunate because 55 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: Wins is a great player, maybe an m v P 56 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: caliber player. But I think the Philadelphia Ecles are built 57 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: the right way. I do not think that they're gonna 58 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: go um quietly into the night. Well you look at 59 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: it here and where they are right now, especially with 60 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: this big win over the Rams, which Wentz was outstanding 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: four touchdowns before he got hurt. Nick Foles stepped in 62 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: and then Wash was solid in relief. Look, he didn't 63 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: have nearly the same life on the ball. Um not 64 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: the same for scous not nearly the same athlete as 65 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, but he was effective. He was efficient, made 66 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: a couple of big throws when he had two footballs 67 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: and tight windows. But I'm with you. I think they 68 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: are more than Carson Wentz. Obviously he's the key to 69 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing. But when you look at the defense 70 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: that can rush the passer, and you look at a 71 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: run game that has a chance to carry a ball 72 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: club like I don't think their defense is at the 73 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: same level. Obviously, is what we saw at the Denver 74 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Broncos when they rode that defense to the Supper Bowl title. 75 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: Peyton kind of really almost somewhat holding the team back 76 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: with his level play at that point in his career. 77 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: But I think that's the formula. And you look at 78 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: them potentially getting a buy eleven and two right now, 79 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: you get to buy if they can procure a home 80 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: field advantage. I can talk about two games. You gotta 81 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: find a way to play great defense, run the ball. 82 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: You've got good special teams that can make a play 83 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: as well, and you've got to find a way to 84 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: win two games. And you find yourself in the Super 85 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: Bowl with Nick Foles. I don't think that's crazy that 86 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: they could could do that. Obviously a little bit tougher 87 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: now without Carson Wentz, but I'm with you. I don't 88 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: think you should at them off just yet. No, I 89 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: don't think you should write them off. I think there's 90 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: certainly gonna be there in the end. And I think 91 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: because of those reasons that we both have talked about. 92 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: I loved the quarterback and what the quarterback was doing, 93 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: but so many more pieces and contributors uh to the table. 94 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: This team will continue to be one of the best 95 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. I fully expect them to be 96 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: in the championship game or long or more because they 97 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: have all the piece of the posts that you look 98 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: for and building the championship squad, no question. Look the 99 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: Rams without Robert Woods a good player for them, they 100 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: found a way to stay in this game and had 101 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: a leading in the game. Later Jared Golf I thought 102 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: was solid. I probably give the head to head nod 103 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: to Carson Wentz with the way he played, But Golf 104 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: made some big throws. Todd Gurley was outstanding, and uh 105 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: so Cooper Cup going over a hunter yards. So it 106 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: was a good competitive football game. I think we have 107 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: a chance to see those two teams uh square once 108 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: again in the postseason. It's number one on the list, Luckey, 109 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: what do we get to A number two have found 110 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback play action. Garopolo boots let's throws to 111 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: the far side, cut by selling and for the touch down, 112 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: touchdown forty niners. Hey, I'll be the first three minute 113 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: DJ that I worried about the Jimmy g hype train 114 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: kind of going out of control. But Jimmy Garoppolo is 115 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback if I ever saw one. And the 116 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: reason I can confidently say that he is a franchise 117 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: quarterback because a team that he joined, the San Francisco 118 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: forty nine, and struggle moving the ball until Jimmy Garoppolo 119 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: got there. When he gets into the starting lineup, not 120 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: only have they won two games in a row, but 121 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: this offense is now beginning to move the ball up 122 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: the field. For me, by definition of franchise quarterback is 123 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: a guy that can raise the level of play of 124 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: everyone around him. I believe that he has elevated the 125 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: level of play of these pedestrian receivers A nondescript running 126 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: game and a team that really struggle with an identity. 127 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: Jimmy G gives them hope and because of that, I 128 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: believe there will position to make a quick return to 129 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: prominence because Jimmy G is the quarterback that they need 130 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: and his presence will allow them to devote the efforts 131 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: to other areas of the team to get them back 132 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: in the mix. Two things that impressed me about him, 133 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: Forget forget the armtwent forget athletic ability um to me 134 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: the two things that stand out in the limited chance 135 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: we've seen him with the Niers. We obviously I'm a 136 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: little bit more with the Patriots to me, Bucky, I 137 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: look at the guy that looks extremely pleased and looks 138 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: extremely confident. You can all throw throw comfortable in there 139 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: as well. It doesn't feel big at all for for Garoppolo. 140 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: He's just stepped right in with a very average supporting cast, 141 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: and right he has elevated the level of play. And 142 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance now. Once you get 143 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: this piece in place, they have now so much he 144 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: comes a lot easier to build around him. That the 145 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: hardest piece of the puzzle, and I think they've got 146 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: it there in San fran Yeah, I do think they 147 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: have and I know we had talked about uh Cousins 148 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: could still be in playing. He very well could be 149 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: in play. But I will say the advantages of Jimmy 150 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: G and this scenario would be he become significantly cheaper 151 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: than what Kirk Cousins would be. And I think there's 152 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: something to the more he plays this year, the more 153 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: they win, the more those guys are going to bond 154 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: to connect with him in terms of the players in 155 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: the locker room. And I don't know if you want 156 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to miss the chemistry up because these guys on a 157 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: two game ministry and they may win a couple more 158 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: before the season ends. This is a lot about what 159 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy G's brought to the table and he hasn't even 160 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: really messed the playbook yet, no question. Um, it's gonna 161 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: be interesting to watch them continue to develop. You've got 162 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: a talented quarterback with a very talented play caller there 163 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan. I think the future looks bright for 164 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: the forty Niners. Number three on the list. It's pretty simple. 165 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: Doc is back on track, Little Dr Seust second and 166 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: five back to Prescott's left. This is a bletch and 167 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: they throw a slant of density cutting and broke away 168 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: forty thirty twenty a block from Beasley and into the 169 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: end zone, and there's your big play. Yeah. You look 170 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: at the way Dak Prescott played in name must have game. 171 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: This is a tin ten ball game with eight and 172 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: change left, and then this is this Cowboys team kind 173 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: of put away the Giants. But he finishes up three 174 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: thirty two, three touchdowns, no picks, coming off a game 175 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: against the red Skins where where they put up thirty 176 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: plus points thirty eight points and that one two touchdowns, 177 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: no picks. So he's protecting the football. He's taking those 178 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: opportunities that are presented himself. Had the long touchdowns path 179 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: to uh the running back Rod Smith didn't have to 180 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: throw it very far, got a little screen and he 181 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: was he was off to the races. But I thought 182 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott did a nice job in this ball game, 183 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: kind of controlling things at the line of scrimmage, kept 184 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: them from kept them from turning the ball overs, kept 185 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: Hi out of negative plays, and they found a way 186 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: to survive. Bucky. We've been beating this drum for so 187 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: long now the NFC do not let the Cowboys, They're 188 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: best players out for six weeks. Do not let them 189 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: sneak into the playoffs. Get Zeke Elliott back, he will 190 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: be a dangerous football team. We've said the same thing 191 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: about the Packers, but Aaron Rodgers will get to them 192 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: in just a little bit. But right now, this Cowboy team, 193 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: Shawn Lee back on defense and Dak Prescott playing the 194 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: way he's playing, no one Zeke's coming back. It's a 195 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: dangerous group, absolutely dangerous. In the dangerous because of the 196 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: reasons that you mentioned, the Dallas Cowboys needed to be 197 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: able to find an identity separate and apart from Zaki 198 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: Eli being in the mix. The past couple of weeks 199 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: when he has been on the sideline, he has actually 200 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: helped his team find other ways of winning. So now 201 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: when he comes back into the fold, if something happens 202 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: to him he springs an ankle in the middle of 203 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: the game, he does something that leaves him to be 204 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: removed from the field, this offense now has confidence that 205 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: they have a style of player that will allow them 206 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: to continue to win. I think that really really improves it. 207 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: It makes him a more formidable team in the postseason. 208 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: Rod Smith have a day six carries for forty seven 209 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 1: and a touchdown and then through the air over a 210 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: hundred yards five for one thirteen and touchdown including the 211 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: eighty one yard or so. He was a a big 212 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: contributor filling in there for Zeke Elliott. What's number four 213 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: on the list box The Jaguars defense is the new 214 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: gold standard. He goes deep down the field for Doug 215 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: Baldwin in the end zone and it's intercepted by the 216 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars in the back of the end zone. Sail and 217 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: Ramsey picked it off. The ball was hanging up in 218 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: the air and Ramsey in the back of the ends 219 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: on runs Underneathan for his fourth interception off the season. 220 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: You know, this warms my heart being a former Jaguar 221 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: guy who really uh enjoyed his time down in Jacksonville. 222 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: It has been a long time coming to see the 223 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: Jaguars come back. And when I look at the Jaguars, 224 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't take my eyes off their defense because I 225 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: am really really convinced that they are the new gold 226 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: standard on defense in terms of how you build it, 227 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: how you play, what you're looking for, in the way 228 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: that it is his coach when you look at this team. 229 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: They lead to league in sacks, they do a great 230 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: job in coverage, They have blue chip players, multiple blue 231 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: chip players at every level of the defense, the young, athletic, 232 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: and hungry. And I think if you are an evaluator, 233 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: you have to look at the way this team was 234 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: constructed over a three or four year period and say that, man, 235 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: if I had an opportunity to rebuild a defense, I 236 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: am going to follow that model, meaning I'm gonna get 237 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: pass rushers and cornerbacks, and then I'm gonna get running 238 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: chase players who maybe a little undersized, but they have attitude. 239 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: When you put all of that together, what we saw 240 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: was the bully get bullied when Seattle came to town. 241 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: Seattle is a team that normally likes to impose their 242 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: will on their opponents. Jacksonville was not having it, and 243 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: I tweeted out this reminded me when I was a 244 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: kid of Larry Holmes fighting Mohammed Alive with the mustache, 245 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali to steal the guy that you remember being 246 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. But Larry Holmes was not 247 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: having it. Tonight, we absolutely had an opportunity to see 248 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: Jacksonville was not having it. They took the torch away 249 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: from the Seattle Seahawks. And last week you saw Blake 250 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: Bortles we talked about him on the podcast or for 251 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: three yards, completing seventy of his passes, two touchdowns, no picks, 252 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: a clean football game for them, and a big win 253 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: over the Indianapolis Colts. Okay, it's the Colts. They're not 254 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: a great defense. That's how much we read into this, 255 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: like that into Seattle Sea defense with missing pieces of 256 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: that secondary, still very well respected, a good group. And 257 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: he comes out there complete six or seven percent of 258 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: his passes, two touchdowns, no picks, and a really a 259 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: key reason why they won this football game. Blake Border 260 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: has just picked the right time to be playing his 261 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: best ball to compliment that defense. Now, the running, you know, 262 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: they think of the number one run team in the league. 263 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: Look for net goes over a hundred yards, So they 264 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: are They're starting to look like more of a complete 265 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: team and not just a defense dominant squad right now, Bucky, 266 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: this could be a dangerous group once we get to 267 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the postseason. Absolutely dangerous. I tweeted this out and and 268 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: I minute if this Blake Border shows up in the postseason, 269 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars have a legitimate chance to get to the 270 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl if the guy they played against the Seattle 271 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: Cee Yaks and the Indianapolis coach showed up a guy 272 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: who played with confidence, a guy who played with real 273 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: sound judgment, didn't give the ball away, and who made 274 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: accurate throws to the playmakers on the perimeter. The Jacksonville 275 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Jaguars absolutely have the pieces to be able to be 276 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: one of the last team standing at the end of 277 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: the year. Love their defense, Love where they're doing offensively. 278 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Um as much as I talk about Blake Borders playing well, 279 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: Leonard for Nett that that icing run third and ten, 280 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: they give it to him out of a formation, two 281 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: backs at two tight ends, and he grinds it out 282 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: and gets the first down. He gives them the thump 283 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: in the attitude. I'm telling you that Jacksonville Jaguars look 284 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: like the old version of the Seattle Seahawks. Be careful 285 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: if the quarterback gets it right, be careful because they 286 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: can go no question. They're playing rudy r football right now, 287 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: and with the Tennessee Titans and their struggles, looks like 288 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: this is their division right now. To go ahead and 289 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: take that thing let's get on to number five on 290 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: the list. And I don't want to be Debbie Downer, 291 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: but the Cincinnati Bengals, Yeah, it's they need a fresh start, 292 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: and it's hand out Howard pushing through a five and 293 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: joe touchdown with Cane and the Bears have broken out 294 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: in front of the Bengals here on the twenty one 295 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: yard Jordan Howard touchdown run. Yeah. Look, but let me 296 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: just give you the numbers pretty simple here in this 297 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: ball game, the Cincinnati Bengals had two hundred and thirty 298 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: four yards of offense. They gave up two hundred and 299 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: thirty two rushing yards to the Chicago Bears. This is 300 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: a Bears team limped into this ball game at three 301 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: and nine. I don't want to use the word quit. 302 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't like that word when you're talking about a team. 303 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: But let's just say that Cincinnati Bengals were less than 304 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: enthused to be out there on this ball game. It 305 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: was flat. They had no energy whatsoever. I know it's 306 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: a physical game they're coming off of against Pittsburgh, but 307 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh found a way to rally and beat the Baltimore 308 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: Ravens and much better football team, and the Bears. I 309 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: thought the Bengals completely laid an egg in this one 310 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: at home. I know Marvin Lewis has been there a 311 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: long time. He's taking him to the playoffs a bunch. 312 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: I think it's best for both parties at this point 313 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: in time. I think the messages stale. I think it's 314 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: time that they look in a new direction and try 315 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: and start rebuilding this football team at Cincinnati. This is 316 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: this is old. It's tired and ain't working. No, it's 317 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: definitely not working this year. I will say that at 318 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: one Poorman I looked at it roster. I thought they 319 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: assembled a nice roster, maybe a top ten roster in 320 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: terms of the number of pure talent guys that they have. 321 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: But this year, for whatever reason, it's not working. First 322 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: it was the offense failing to get untracked, so they 323 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: got rid of saying p Z the elevated bill laser. 324 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: He has a nice little run where they're going. But 325 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: in this last game, I'm being honest with any John 326 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: was horrible. Andy Jon his inn bill that makes simple throws, 327 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: simple connections, led them to remove him and put a J. 328 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: Mccarrion in and right now where the Bengals are it's 329 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: a wrap. It's done. They're not going to the postseason. 330 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: So what are we doing over the next few weeks? 331 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: Who are we looking at who can be vital contributors 332 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: to the way that we rebuild the program. That's what 333 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward. That's what I'm trying to find, trying 334 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: to find a few good men who can come out 335 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: and compete. Yeah, it's not pretty. On the other side 336 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: of things, gotta give Credith the Bears. Trabisky I thought 337 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: I had one of his best games as a young 338 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: pro or thirty two to seventy one touchdown, no picks. Also, 339 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: I believe yeah, he had a Russian touchdown as well, 340 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: so he was effective both ways. And Jordan Howard treat 341 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: Cohen and they went off in this game. Jordan Howard 342 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: a buck forty seven average and over six and carry 343 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: on eighty yards and only twelve carries. He averages over 344 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: six yards and carry. So I mean, look, this Bears 345 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: team talent wise, you stack him up one to fifty 346 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: three again, Snatti Buck, I don't think it's close. I 347 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: think Cincinnati is a much more talented football team. But 348 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: they did not want to be on the field in 349 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: this game. I thought it showed No, I think it 350 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: definitely showed up um. I think the big thing with 351 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, and here's where I think Bears fans 352 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: can be encouraged. We saw this season the difference that 353 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: uh an upgrade in the supporting cast and the change 354 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: in the play call that can make on the fortunes 355 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: of a young quarterback. So Carson Wins Jerry Golf both 356 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: take the games up a notch. I think with Mr Bisky, 357 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: I think if the Chicago Bears are able to find 358 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: a veteran pass catcher that has some juice left that 359 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: he can be a number one. I think you will 360 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: see his game rapidly improved to the level of expectation 361 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: because he has shown that we're just running back and 362 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: tied ds. He can move the team down the fuel 363 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: if you give him some legitimate studs on the outside 364 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: where people have to really defend the studs. Yeah, it 365 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: could be scary for what they have going on all right, 366 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: Before we get to these last five takeaways, Buck, let's so, 367 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: let's give some information to the folks out there.

Josh Gordon could spark a Cleveland 379 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: Browns resurgent kaiser to throw looking Gordon up in the air. 380 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: I want to catch touchdown. He is back First Energy Stadium. 381 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: Josh Gorge with a late think crab, pulls it in 382 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: topples into the end zone. Have a Browns right kick 383 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: away from tying it up. Ay d J. We talked 384 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: about this while we were watching Josh Gordon in amazement. 385 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: The fact that this guy can come off the streets 386 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: and be an a one playmaker right away suggested me 387 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: that if he can keep his life straight off the field, 388 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: he can be a dominant player for the Cleveland Browns. 389 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: He can in fact be a player that is a 390 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: core to their rebuilding host Because the Cleveland Browns team 391 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: that I saw today with Josh Gordon as the centerpiece, 392 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: their team that can show up and win a ton 393 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: of games. He elevated the play of the quarterback with 394 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: his presence on the field. He also elevated a play 395 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: of the supporting cast with all of those guys going 396 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: back to their respective roles. We saw Corey Coleman step 397 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: up and make plays as a number two. We saw 398 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson be a factor in the passing game because 399 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: he is the guy that you can kind of revolve 400 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: everything around. I believe he is the key to the 401 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns bouncing back. If he is available and if 402 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: he's capable of being able to play at the level 403 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: that he is displayed, I absolutely believe that the Cleveland 404 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: Browns would bounce back and he will be the guy 405 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: that leads him when they bounce back. I swear I 406 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: would I would look into this if I were the Browns, 407 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: I would try and find somebody, um that can be 408 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: a good influence on him, that can also kind of 409 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: just look after him, and I would have them like 410 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon Josh like Josh Hamilton was with the Rangers. 411 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: Same thing. Yeah, I just think it's smart. It's it's 412 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: just an investment for the Cleveland Browns. This is a 413 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: team and we've said it to win big in this league. 414 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: What's our number of blue chip players where we say 415 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: like eight to ten will get you to the championship level. 416 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: They need eight to ten blue chip players. They don't 417 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: have a lot of blue chip players. Josh Gordon is 418 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: a blue chip player. So if you can keep him 419 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: out of trouble and keep him on task. I mean 420 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: I've said, look we said during the broadcast he is 421 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: a faster Mike Evans that that's what he brings to 422 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: the table. He is a freak show. And uh having 423 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: him out there, I don't understand what they can give 424 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: the ball more and three for sixty nine. I think 425 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: all that might have came in the first half, if 426 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: not the first half, early in the third quarter. Only 427 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: six targets for him in the game. They've got to 428 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: find a way to get him more involved because he 429 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: makes things happen. To throw him jump balls, do whatever 430 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: you gotta do, watch him make magic happen after the catch. 431 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: He is a special athlete. It was fun. The Browns 432 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: did not win this game, but it was a fun 433 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: game to watch, and I think the main reason for 434 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: that was because what we saw from Josh Gordon. He 435 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: made the Sean Kaiser look a lot better than what 436 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: we've seen Kaiser look like earlier in the season. But again, 437 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: we get to the end of the game, the Browns 438 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: kind of do what they do and you have a 439 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 1: bone headed interception by Kaiser in overtime and then they 440 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: give up to score there to Davante Adams a little 441 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: tunnel screen, But overall it was it was I thought, 442 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was a fun game to watch with 443 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: this version of the Browns. What do you say, Buck, 444 00:20:54,280 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: was terrifically enjoyable game to watch. I think the main thing, uh, 445 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: I came away disappointed in the fact that the Browns 446 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: getting finish the game. It was right there for them 447 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: to finish the game. They were up four teen points, 448 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: they had plenty of opportunities to close it out. The 449 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: defense let him down a little bit, and then at 450 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: the very very end, Deshaun Kaiser, we're trying to find 451 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon on the slant. The slam would have kind 452 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: of sealed the game, paused on it, threw it up 453 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: for grabs in overtime, easy interception for them, and then 454 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Brown just just give it away at the 455 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: very end. But in spite of all that, I thought 456 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: we saw Deshaun Kaiser played with more poise, more confidence, 457 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: really made the plays, open up the field and utilized 458 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: all of his weapons. I think this is actually a 459 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: solid building block for this team making the turnaround. Josh 460 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: Gord should be a critical piece and they rebuild an effort. 461 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: Just gonna figure out if you can trust him, no question. 462 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: Hopefully they can find a way to get that going 463 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: next year. I will say looking at their schedule, they're 464 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: going on six team that that was their shot today 465 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: that I don't think they who who else has left 466 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: on the schedule. I know they've got Baltimore and Pittsburgh. 467 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: I believe in Bolts will have something to play for, 468 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: and I believe the Bears is the third team who 469 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: we're playing better football right now. I don't see them 470 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: winning the game, but I really don't. I think they're 471 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: gonna go over that would make them one. There'll be 472 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: the Bears. That's it. That's at our Ravens at home 473 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: and then at Bears a Steelers to close it out. 474 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: They're going over circle, circle, circle the game red red letters. No, 475 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: they could be. They could be the Bears, and they 476 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: could be one in thirty one over a two year period. 477 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: That is hard to do. They could be two breaks 478 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: off of them. Um. By the way, we'll get into 479 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: on our next podcast on a couple of days. Here, 480 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: we'll jump into John Dorsey and what his what his 481 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: chance for success there is in Cleveland something we've talked 482 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: about and been calling for, and I think we'll have 483 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: a chance to dig a little deeper into that on 484 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: the next podcast. I'll be on the lookout for that. 485 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: If you're a Browns fan. All right, let's get to 486 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: the next one here, Philip Rivers. This dude is playing 487 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: like a top three quarterback under center. As Rivers makes 488 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: the handoff, we'll only do is right. As Rivers going deep, 489 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: the receiver, Tyrone Williams makes the catch, Tell the house 490 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: Rivers to Tyrolle Williams seventy five yards knock on wood. 491 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: I love listening to money and make those calls. Yes, 492 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: thank you. I will ask for that charges wind drop 493 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: another time before this episode is over. Bucky the Chargers. 494 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: This is a ball clubs one four in a row, 495 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: as hot as anybody in the league. Right now, they 496 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: lose in overtime to Jacksonville game they should have one. Uh, 497 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: then they would have to even a longer street going. 498 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: Look just the last three games of what Philip Rivers 499 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: has done here. Against Dallas, he throws for four hundred 500 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: and thirty four yards. That was Thanksgiving, I believe, four 501 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: hundred thirty four yards, three touchdowns, nose picks. Then you 502 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: go up against Cleveland three hundred and forty four yards, 503 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: one touchdown, note picks. Then Washington today three hundred nineteen yards, 504 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no picks. I believe. I did see one 505 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: stat to float around said he's now joined a club 506 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: of three guys, which the other two are Breeze and Peyton, 507 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: ending ten straight years over thirty yards passing for Philip Rivers. 508 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how it's possible. I think this guy 509 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: definitely belongs to the m v P rights but to me, 510 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: but I don't know how it's possible he does not 511 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: get more national attention for the way that he's played, 512 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: especially when we've seen Roethlisberger kind of go up and 513 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: down over the last few years, and then you've seen 514 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: Eli Manning completely fall apart. I know he doesn't have 515 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: the rings that those guys have, but in terms of 516 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: the longevity, I give Philip Rivers a not for the 517 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: way he's playing at this age. Yeah, I think it's 518 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: the Philip Rivers has played outstanding football this season. I 519 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: think they've given him more at the line of scrimmage 520 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: to do a lot of empty formation, motioned back in 521 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: and out of the lineup, see what the coverage is. 522 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: They make the proper check based on what you see. 523 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: I think he's handled it like in Splindi fast, and 524 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: I think the big thing for him is to continue 525 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: to understand how important it is to make sure that 526 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: you take care of the ball, allow your defense to 527 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: set you up to win games. If he just plays 528 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: a smart game, da l a charge will be the interview. 529 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: One thing, you know, if they continue to throw for 530 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: three hundre yards and plays defense like they do, we're 531 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: gonna hear a lot a lot of Matt money Smith 532 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: Chargers win. Solly, you're at least three council laid on 533 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: that at least one Chargers win. Bonus Bonus Chargers winks win. 534 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: I can't hear that enough, So good man, we're seeing 535 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: the next generation of young quarterback struggle as over the 536 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: middle picked off by Byns at the forty, runs it 537 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: back to the thirty far side of the to the 538 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: twenty at out of bounds and a late hit out 539 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: of bounds as well. Here comes a flag. Josh Bynes 540 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: dropping into coverage picks off Marcus Mariota. A huge turn 541 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: of events here at University of Phoenix Stadium. They'll throw 542 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: deep middle and the past will be deflected. It will 543 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: be in our sutor Stephen Tarrell at the five and 544 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: goes down doing me and the Chiefs get the pick 545 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: they want. What's the sacks at the twenty four follow 546 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: the ball that's close recovered by the Buccaneers. I believe 547 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: we have six seconds, not five. Funk will continue to check. 548 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: This game is over. Detroit will beat the Tampa Bay 549 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: Buccaneers twenty one at A lot to die just right there. 550 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean it was a loan, but mainly, like my 551 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: my point is, we're seeing some guys that we thought 552 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: were ready to break out as superstars kind of take 553 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 1: a step back. Marcus Mariota, Derek Carr and even Jamis Winston. 554 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: These guys last year kind of tease us and led 555 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: us to believe that they were going to be guys 556 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: that were game changes. We expect to see one or 557 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: two of these guys kind of rise up to the 558 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: ranks and maybe being at the top five to eight 559 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: players at their respective position. And I can go on 560 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: regular say that we haven't seen that from any of 561 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: these guys. Marcus Mariota struggled today. He's a guy that 562 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: has more interceptions than touchdowns ten to fourteen ratio respectively, 563 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: passer ray and there's at seventy six point nine and 564 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: in the last three games, in each of the last 565 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: three games, he has been below two d passing yards. 566 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: That is not the kind of stuff you want to 567 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: see from your number one quarterback. Derek Carr is not 568 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: playing on the page that he was playing at last year. 569 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: Last year at touchdowns only six picks right now, he's 570 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: at eighteen and ten. But when you look at him 571 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: and I know he's dealing with an injury, he's not sharp, 572 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: he's not accurate, he's not decisive, and he doesn't have 573 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: the poise. And then finally, Jamimes Winston continues to be 574 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: a roller coaster ride, because if you looked at just 575 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: to tape and you didn't look at the numbers, you 576 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: would think that he wasn't having a solid season. Numbers wise, 577 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: fourteen eight touchdown, the interception ratio does have four fumbles. 578 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: Don't like that. Passer rating is just a ninety. But 579 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: when you feel him and look at him, there's something 580 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: not quite what at that level where we thought he 581 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: would be. I need to see him and all of 582 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: these guys continue to take another step in the development, 583 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: whether it's here or where else. They gotta pick it up. Yeah. 584 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: One thing I will say, if you want some encouragement, 585 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: is that there's no uh, there's no magic form that 586 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: where every year you're guaranteed to play better than you 587 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: did the previous year. But there's also nothing that says 588 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: as you can't rebound from. We see a lot of 589 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks have a down year and you gotta respond, 590 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: and you gotta rebound, and you've gotta get better. We've 591 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 1: seen Matt Iran come off of this one a year 592 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: and go out and win the m v P. So 593 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: you can turn it around. But right now, the thing 594 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: that can see if I just with Mariota Bucky. I 595 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: think the way that they've used him, we've said, smoking 596 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: mirrors the stuff that they've done, I like sprinkling in 597 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: the r p O stuff, movement stuff. I don't think 598 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: that can be your bread and butter. And I don't 599 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: know that he's progressed in terms of just being a 600 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: pure pop guy. And that's gonna come back a little bit. Okay, 601 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: the offensive r in organ how does that translate those 602 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: questions we had and how that transition would go. They 603 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: found a way to duplicate it initially, but this league 604 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: is smart. They start taking those things away, and you've 605 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: mentioned it. Now they see some main coverage, You're not 606 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 1: gonna be able to do that anymore. And the ability 607 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: just to hang in there and work through Russians make 608 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: tight window throws on a consistent basis has just not happened. 609 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: We haven't seen that development that you want to see 610 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: from a young guy. And I think some of that 611 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,719 Speaker 1: is the flame on the Tennessee staff just in terms 612 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: of how they put this offense together. You need, you 613 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: need somebody. You gotta throw him in the pool and 614 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: let him go. Let when I'm swimming go through a 615 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: prolonged period here we can see him developed, and I 616 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 1: think the train thills have been on and it's uh, 617 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: it's painful a watch, to be honest, very painful. He's struggling. 618 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: He's struggling because he's not a very very confident player 619 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: at the moment. It is the first time he's maybe 620 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: has some real on field football adversity in terms of 621 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: not being the best guy in the field every time 622 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: he steps on. And so it will be interesting to 623 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: see what can the Tennessee Titans do to help him 624 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: get back into his sweet spot. Can they put him 625 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: in um some easy, high completion completion percentage passes that 626 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: will allow him to kind of see the ball going 627 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: to basket early like a layup artist, or will they 628 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: continue to try and like scheme it up and do 629 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: some things to mask his own first of the flaw 630 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: was I think the main thing is you need to 631 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: have a sit down with Marx Mariota. Let him go 632 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: through the film, let him kind of dictate the turns, 633 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: let him write down ten the fifteen plays that he 634 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: really really feels good about, and just run those plays 635 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: over and over and over again from different sets. I 636 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: think the main thing is you want him playing with 637 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: confidence and swag, just like he was able to play 638 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: for most of his time at the University of Oregon. 639 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: All right, number nine on the list. This is a 640 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: game actually played twice a year. Steelers Ravens always a really, 641 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: really interesting contest of physical affair. This one was no different. 642 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: And Yeah, the Steelers end up getting to win and 643 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: capture the a f C North title. Wackless Burger deep 644 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: down on the right side, Tonio Brown, he's amazing beast 645 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: car on the play round two hundred and thirteen receiving 646 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: yards tonight. Yeah, that was a big time completion to 647 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: set the Steelers up for their game winning field. Well, Buckey, 648 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: what's thoughts on not giving any help over the top 649 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown that situation? I think it was silly. 650 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: I think everyone in the building knew that the ball 651 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: was going to Antonio Brown somewhere in that situation. He's 652 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: your best offensive player outside of the lamp bill in 653 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback. You've gotta get him involved. You're leaning on 654 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: a past happy situation. I believe that they should have 655 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: just kind of going for it, make sure that they 656 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: neutralize him, make them throw the ball to Marrow, Sdavis, 657 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: Bryan and one of those other guys, one of the 658 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: guys that you feel strong about containing. But you can't 659 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: let this guy run a simple nine route down the 660 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: boundary and get it without being knocked out, knocked around, 661 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: picked off. Just shouldn't happen. Should never happened. Yeah, you 662 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: gotta give this Steelers credit though. This is a game 663 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: where the Ravens kind of had control with two score 664 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: ball game, and the Steelers do what they do. They 665 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: get big stops and then Ben just take what they 666 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: give you, take what they give you, and then the 667 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to present itself down the field. Take your shot 668 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: to eight four, he goes over two yards. Antonio Brown, 669 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 1: what a stud he is. And I gotta believe when 670 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: they face off against New England Patriots next week, to 671 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: take away Antonio Brown, you will absolutely be double team 672 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: next week. They will not let him skate on the 673 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: perimeter unchecked. Yeah, hell, he would get all kinds of 674 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: double team. Max a little different. I think it's a 675 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: little differ from Bill Belichick. Next week. What's what's number ten? 676 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: What's the fun one on the list? This week, the 677 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: NFC South race is heating up after the Panthers and 678 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: Falcons whole serve at home. Cavital play here. Matt Ryan 679 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: and the Falcons down seven with ten minutes to go, 680 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: no snapped. Ryan handles up from the gun. Ryan stops 681 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: up right touchdowns. So now to the post, Ryan delivers 682 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: Keenan throws a long pass down the field, knocked away, 683 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: almost intercepted. The Panthers hold and will win this football game. 684 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, DJ, when you look at the NFC South, 685 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing a very very competitive race kind of shake out. 686 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: The Panthers in the Saints are sitting in nine in 687 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: fort the Atlanta Facas have climbed the weight back into 688 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: it at eight and five, and any of these teams 689 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: can win the division. It really comes down to who 690 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: is going to play the best during his next three 691 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: week stretch. And if you look at the way that 692 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers are being able to do, it's gonna be 693 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: Harvard and the master kind of points that New Orleans 694 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: can put up. I think it's still going to be 695 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: a situation where the New Orleans Saints go, but then 696 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers in the ATLANTAFL because they're duking it 697 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: out for the last spot. Yeah, it's gonna come down 698 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: to the very end. These teams will face off here 699 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: as we come down the stretch three games to go, 700 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: so we get a chance to start that out on 701 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: the field. I think right now, if I'm looking at 702 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: who's the most dangerous team, I might go with the Panthers, 703 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: just the way Cam Newton is dialed in right now, 704 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: and and man, when he gets rolling Bucky, there's nobody 705 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: like him. We kind of call him the Unicorn because 706 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: just a combination of the height, weight, speed, arm, talent, 707 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: playmaking ability, his his long run. Are you kidding me? 708 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: What he did against Minnesota Bikings today? Sundejo comes down 709 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: the whole of safety. You shouldn't have a quarterback making 710 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: look that dumb, but he put on a move on 711 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: him and start run away from everybody. I mean, he's 712 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: unique player, unique talent. You have to cultivate it, you 713 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: have to developer, you have to know exactly what he 714 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: is to maximize what he brings to the table. I 715 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: think the big thing when you look at all of 716 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: these teams, the teams that are still going to be 717 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: a viable option, A're gonna be the ones to play 718 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: really really good defense. Each of these teams has played 719 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: really really good defense this year. So then it comes 720 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: down to quarterback playing. Which quarterback do you trust the 721 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: most of all those quarterbacks? I don't know. I think 722 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: it's the toss, depending on how you would like to 723 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: play the game. So a couple of things that will 724 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: be the deciding factor. A quarterback playing defense, which everyone 725 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: is able to put that combination of two together. They 726 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: don't have an opportunity to fly to flag question real quick. Bucky, Saints, Panthers, Falcons, 727 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: all three of those quarterbacks you mentioned coming out of 728 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. I believe they all have m v 729 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: p s, have a trophy hanging out in their room. 730 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be fun to watch this battle down 731 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: the home stretcher. Maybe the Bucks can play spoiler an 732 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: upset one of these teams, but they're not a fight 733 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: in the War nine Tampa Bay Bucks. Right now. We'll 734 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: see how this whole thing shakes out. Well. Look, Week 735 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: fourteen was a great week of football. Unfortunate injuries here 736 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: and there, but overall, I thought the football was well played, 737 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: it was competitive, it was physical, it was fun. College 738 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: football season. Regular season ended, and I thought the NFL 739 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: stepped their game up. Any final thoughts as we wrap 740 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: up here, Buck, no great week of football. UM, kind 741 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: of like hoping in praying that everything is okay for 742 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Still sitting up prayers every night. Ryan, she's here, 743 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: hoping he bounces back. But we got some young stars 744 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: in this league, man. We want to see him all 745 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to play and do those things that 746 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: really make us light up. Carson Wentz is a tough one. 747 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get better than anticipated news. Yeah, I'm glad 748 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: you said that about Ryan Shay's here too. Thoughts and 749 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: prayers out to him as he's recovering from that really 750 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: a tough, tough back injury. Hopefully he gets all feeling 751 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: back and we'll see him up and moving around here 752 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: pretty soon. I don't want to I don't even want 753 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: to pretend to care about the football side. Let's get 754 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: Ryan Shay's year up, walking around playing with his kids. Um, 755 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: that's what's most important here. He's in our thoughts, he's 756 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: in our prayers. That's gonna do it for us here 757 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: on move the sticks again, move six percent by the 758 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: Ford f series.
