1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Welcome to Move the Sticks, presented by

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: the Ford f Series. I'm Daniel Jeremiah joined by Bucky

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Brooks and Bucky We've got it. We got a humdinger

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: of a show today. I mean we have a pack show.

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: When you look at the rundown. We had the Rocky breakdown,

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: panic or don't panic? Players who need to step up

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: big time in week two, and a couple of the

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: tops that we need. Yeah, we gotta get to our

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: college picks, which spoiler alert, you did quite well last week.

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: I did. I did okay at golf flap, golf lap.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Well done, well done there, Buck. But I thought to

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: start things off a little bit. We like to focus

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: on the draft, and we like to track these rookies

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: as they go throughout their rookie season. And you look

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: at it, what what took place in Week one? Not

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of rookie starting quarterbacks, but we had a couple.

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: I thought we could just kind of roll through the

19
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: stats of of what we saw take place in week one,

20
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: and we look at the passing leaders. We only are

21
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: supposed to have one rookie quarterback that Deshaun Kaiser. But

22
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: of course Deshaun Watson uh famously ended the Tom Savage

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: regime and about what thirty one plays I think it was,

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: and then it was it was all off to Deshaun Watson. Yeah. Absolutely,

25
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson took over for the Texas in the second half,

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: didn't have a great performance, but we think that he

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: would continue improving more reps. I think the big thing

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: is Deshaun kais and when you look at the stat line,

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: that was pretty solid. But as much as we talked

30
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks, the running backs are the guys that

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: really stepped up. And then the receivers. So we see

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: on that list handful of playmakers, guys that can make

33
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: plays on the perimeter. They see Kareem Hunt, Cooper Cup Nice,

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: seventy Sipniards, Treiko and your guy, a couple running backs

35
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: up there on that list. A nice job in the

36
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: passing game as well. And then there's your rushing leaders.

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: And these aren't just you know, these are all rookies

38
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: right here. I believe we have four of the top

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: five rushers in the league were these rookies. So a very,

40
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: very impressive group led by Kareem Hunt. You see Dalvin

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Cook for Net, the Hammer, uh, Treik Cohen, and Christian McCaffrey.

42
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: It's it's a good looking group there, Buck, and I

43
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: think we should jump a little bit deeper into these

44
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: running backs because they earned it week one. They absolutely

45
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: earned it. We thought this could be a special running

46
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: back class. We thought there were a bunch of guys

47
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: in this draft that offered the ability to not only

48
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: run an out and outside, but they also were nice

49
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: playmakers in the passing game. And so when you started

50
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: at the top with Kareem Hunt and what he was

51
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: able to do against the New England Patriots, we saw

52
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: a very very special player, one that was very impressive

53
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl outstanding playmaker. He was also terrificate Toledo,

54
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and it's just his ability to put his foot in

55
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the ground, to run through contact, to make plays on

56
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: the perimeter. And even though he got off to a

57
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: slow star with that first carry fumble, he came back

58
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: in a big way really responding nice shop and coming

59
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well. But this week playing

60
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles in the front seven, I think

61
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: is as good as any, especially with that defensive line

62
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: able to get some pressure and close down some running lanes,

63
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: and then when you get in the passing game, he's

64
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: gonna have his hands full because you've got a very

65
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: athletic group of linebacker. Is gonna be a little bit more,

66
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: a little bit more tight coverage. I would say that

67
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: what we saw from the England page, well, yeah, it's

68
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna be challenging for them because the Eagles front seven

69
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: is far more talented than in New England pages. When

70
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: you look at the way they're able to roll in

71
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: a number of pass rushers off the edges, they can

72
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: get pressure inside with Fletcher Cox, and then their linebackers

73
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: being able to run and chase. This is a team

74
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: that is really well suited and well built to beat

75
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: the Kenn City Chiefs. We'll see how they are able

76
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: to contain Kareem Hunt because he was such a big

77
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: part of the Kann City Chief's offense in Week one.

78
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a fun one to watch. Dalvin Cook,

79
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: guy we talked about forever in the run up to

80
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: the draft. Buck had a fantastic game there for the

81
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and again being able to get to the

82
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: perimeter or something we saw him do at Florida State.

83
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: He did it very easily here at the NFL level

84
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: this week though, going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and

85
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: maybe you could make a case the most athletic linebacker

86
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL and Ryan Chazy or heat making random

87
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: at four three seven coming out, he's a freak. Yeah.

88
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Pittsburgh is certainly going to bring their own

89
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: problems own defense. This is a physical team. They want

90
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: to play a certain way, and so they're going to

91
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: challenge Dalvin Cook's toughness, his competitiveness with the way that

92
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: they run and chase and they hit people. But when

93
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: I look at this Minnesota Vikings team, I believe they

94
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: certainly have the pieces to go to the next level.

95
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford is thorn well, so you can't necessarily load

96
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: up to stop Dalvin Cook. This could be a breakout

97
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: performance for the Minnesota Vikings because if they're able to

98
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: do it against the Pittsburgh defense that looks rough and rugged,

99
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: then you have to kind to give them the respect

100
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: that they deserve as a team. They could be a

101
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: surprise heavyweight in the NFC. All Right. Leonard Fournette, somebody

102
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that we mentioned on the podcast on Tuesday about that

103
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: hammer that he is for the Jacksonville team. Take the

104
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: pressure off Blake Bortles be able to run the football,

105
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: and we saw in that game against the Texans, Bucky

106
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: the way they wanted to square him up in the

107
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: first quarter kind of turned into some fly by through

108
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: a little shoulder there in the fourth quarter. No one

109
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: wants to hit this guy for four quarters. Doug Moron

110
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: in the preseason talked about a perfect game for the

111
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars would include zero pass attempts. I think he's

112
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: well on his way to building that kind of offense.

113
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette is a workhorse back, a guy that can

114
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: really grind it out, and he gives them an identity

115
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about. He faced the most eight man boxes

116
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: of any running back in the league. Continue to have

117
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: success with a hundred yard game. I believe that Jacksonville

118
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars have to continue to ride the big fellow because

119
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: he's the tone center for that offense and he really

120
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: compliments what is emerging as a dominant defense. How about

121
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. You gotta face off with Marshawn Lynch

122
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: week one, who was a hammer and now here comes

123
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a younger Hammer and Leonard Fournette. That's gonna be a

124
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: fun challenge for the Titans. We'll see how they do

125
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: a big divisional game there for those two squads. All Right,

126
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: we gotta get to him. I think I'm setting this

127
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: in place right now, Trek con We must talk about

128
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: him every single episode of Move the Sticks. Let's keep

129
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: the streak alive here, bucket and what he did we

130
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: saw last week was fantastic. But let's let's spend it

131
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: forward in the challenge he's gonna have this week going

132
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: up against the Tampa linebackers. Now, they had several linebackers

133
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: that can run, so this would be a little stiffer test.

134
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: It would be a little different test. But what Trek

135
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Cohen is is he is lightning in the bottle. He

136
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: is an explosive playmaker, jitter buck on the perimeter, can

137
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: make people miss, can guess the ball allowed the backfield,

138
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: has the heart and the toughness to be able to

139
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: run between the tackles. His ability to make plays has

140
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: really made him the bears number one playmaker. We saw

141
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: him have a spectacular performance with only thirteen touches. Look

142
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: for him to get fifteen to twenty as they try

143
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: to exploit a weakness in this Tampa Bay defense. But

144
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: you're right, Tampa is fast. They run and chase. They

145
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: got some head hunters on this side. It's gonna be

146
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: a big game for tore and he's gonna have to

147
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: step up in this one. I think he'll be okay though,

148
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: because as we're watching this tape pier of the Atlanta

149
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: Falcons with their linebacker Cord, they can run a little

150
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: bit too now and davantre Cambelled a nice job running

151
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: with him on on a deep route and no about

152
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Dion Jones and his speed, so he's he's he's gotten

153
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: used to that speed in week one. I don't think

154
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: it'll be as much of an issue for him here

155
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: in Week two. A good battle though between the Bears

156
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: and the Bucks. I think the Bears a little bit

157
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: better than we thought they would be. Absolutely, Bears are

158
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: much better than we thought, and for them this is advantage.

159
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay hasn't played a game yet, so last week

160
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: when the Bears were working out the kinks, they were

161
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: able to kind of get that on film, understand what

162
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: their mistakes are. The Bucks haven't had that opportunity. So

163
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: this could be a great opportunity for the Bears. Still,

164
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: al right, Buck, I don't know if if is there

165
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: a movie called the Step It Up? Is there a movie?

166
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't something like that. There's I want

167
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: to say, there's a dance movie behind the glass. Can

168
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: you confirm that? What's they? There's like fourteen of them?

169
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: There are thank you? They're called tapping up one through

170
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: thank you very much? Is it really so nicely done? Interesting?

171
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: You know that I'm gonna go, uh, I'm gonna go

172
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: a little step it up segment here, Buck, we're looking

173
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: at week two guys that necessarily didn't live up to

174
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: the hype week one. We need him to step up

175
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: here in week two. Why don't you start us off?

176
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Give us somebody here needs step up. Week two, we

177
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: can go with the goat Tom Brady. Oh okay, I

178
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: gotta see him step up. He only completed forty of

179
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: his passes struggle pushing the ball down the field. They

180
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: had eleven pass attempts of twenty yards or more. He

181
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: only completed two of those. He has to be a

182
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: better performer. And as this offense evolves without Julian Edelman,

183
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have Danny Ammadola. Malcolm Mitchell is still recovering.

184
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: They're going to have to push the ball down the

185
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: field because that's the strength of their current wire receivers.

186
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks Uh Philip dor said, those are guys that

187
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: want to use those at fourth three speed. Look for

188
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to take more shots. And this is the

189
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: week because against the New Orleans Saints, they're vulnerable in

190
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: the back end. I need a shot behind the glass here.

191
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm going off scripture. I need guy a

192
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: show of hands. How many people think it? Sully owns

193
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: every single one of those step it up videos? Anybody

194
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: we got that's unanimous? Yep, we got that's everybody. Yeah, yeah,

195
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: now he's he definitely owns those. All right, I'm gonna

196
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: go big surprise here, Buck Giants offensive line. This is

197
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: a group of much of the ligne. I mean, there's

198
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that are that are really, really good,

199
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: but their offensive line could be their Achilles heell and

200
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: the Giants I think are one of those. They've got

201
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: to be better. They've gotta be better in past protection.

202
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: They gotta be able to give Eli Manning a little

203
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: bit of time, you're not talking about the most mobile

204
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: quarterback back there. And when you don't have Odell Beckham.

205
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: We'll see if he plays in this one. Hopefully he

206
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: comes back, but you gotta step it up everywhere else

207
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: around him. And I had to think that front did it,

208
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: didn't do it. The run game didn't do it in

209
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: past protection now they absolutely didn't get it done. And

210
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: what we saw without Odell Beckham Jr. They don't have playmakers,

211
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: meaning guys that can really turn to his short passes

212
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: into big games. I never thought that Odell Beckham Jr.

213
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: Was so such a big part of the puzzle, but

214
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: we absolutely saw against Dallas Cowboys they have a tough

215
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: time moving the ball when he is not on the

216
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: field to make plays. If he comes back, I think

217
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: was Stee a better Eli Manning? We see a better

218
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. The running game gets going is really depending

219
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: to pot Odell Beckham Jr. Is availability in this game.

220
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: The one dude who has played well front for them,

221
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Western Rischberg, Who's who's a big fan. I'm a big

222
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: fan of his and what he does. All right, Buck,

223
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: you you are you're not afraid to throw big names

224
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: out there and about you. Here we go, levy in Bill,

225
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: he needs to step up. Leve Bill is on the

226
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: franchise tax. He's making over twelve million dollars. We need

227
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: to see him play to that level. Ten carries only

228
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: thirty two yards, zero receptions against the Browns, and I

229
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: know the Brown's defense is expected to be better than anticipated.

230
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: But for Leve Bill, a guy who was routinely kind

231
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: of putting a hundred and fifty seven scrimmage yards per game,

232
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: need to see more. This is unacceptable. I expect to

233
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: see a better live Bill this week. The donut next

234
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: to the receptions is what gets me. I don't think

235
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna see that again. I think you're gonna see

236
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: him kind of get his sea legs after missing some camp,

237
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: and you'll see him get rolling here. All right, Bucky,

238
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: we need to bring out the button. Oh, here we go,

239
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: bring out the button. Yeah we don't. We're a little

240
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: bit budget conscious here. So it's it looks a lot

241
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: like a coffee lid, but trust me, it is. It

242
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: is a button. It is a button with a killer

243
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: sound effect. You don't you guys want to give that

244
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: thing a trial run? Here? Oh? I like that. I

245
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: like that I like that is a magic coffee lid

246
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: right there, My fagic coffee. This is something we did

247
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: last year. Buck. And we're talking panic, don't panic. It's

248
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: week one, you know, it's maybe a little early to panic,

249
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: or is it? No? No, no, we can do we

250
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: can panic. All right, let's jump in here. Why don't

251
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: you start us off? One team? Are all gonna be

252
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: on one team? Seattle Seahawks. You panic or no panic? Oh,

253
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm not a panic on the Seattle Seahawks. We are

254
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: good to go. We have eight Pro bowlers on that defense. Now,

255
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: Sheldon rich as it comes over, we got another week

256
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: of work. This defense is going to be the part

257
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: of the squad. It really carries them as far as

258
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: they go. And when I look at this defense and

259
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: the way they played against the Green Bay Packers, look

260
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: without a short field, want a turnover by Russell Wilson. Uh,

261
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: they really did a great job of containing this Packers offense.

262
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: I believe this team is going to continue to win

263
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: a lot of games because their defense can always keep

264
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: the score down and at some point they're gonna find

265
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: a way to kind of get the offense one with

266
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Doug ballwin, one of those running backs will emerge.

267
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I expect to see us to be their idea. Is

268
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: that a super Bowl offensive line? Bucky? No, it's not.

269
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: But you're not panicking. No, no, no, because you gotta

270
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: play more than just offerings. You gotta play defense. Okay,

271
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: I'm just asking. All right, let's go on to the

272
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: to the Washington Redskins. Here you are, Mr Optimism, and

273
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: I dig that about you. How when the Washington Redskins,

274
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: I still got some coffee left under that thing, right,

275
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: Come on, you look a little hot chocolate on a

276
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: hot chocolate guy. Uh, look the Redskins. To me, it's

277
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: to me, the loss of coach McVeigh is big, and

278
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: I think some of the comfort level there. I think

279
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins. I think when you look at the

280
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: receiving corps being changed out, I think they will get better.

281
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: They'll get it figured out. Drell Prior. That's just the

282
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: chemistry with Kirk Cousins is not there right now. He

283
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: had reliable guys last year. I think sometimes we take advantage.

284
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: We take for granted just guys that are where they're

285
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be in, guys that catch the football. We've

286
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: talked about it with the Rams adding some guys that

287
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: are where the supposed to be, and they catched the football.

288
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: Pure Garson is the epitome of what that is and

289
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: they miss him. In my opinion, I think this team

290
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: inside this division, I think it's time to panic. No,

291
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: I think you should panic. I'm worried about the weapons

292
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: on the outside, worried about Josh Dawson and we're about

293
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: to row probably, I'm wondering who is going to fit

294
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: those roles, and I'm worried about the quarterback because he's

295
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: depending upon those guys playing at a high level. And

296
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: so when you lose those weapons and you lose the

297
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: play called the play call, who really kept together? Sean McVeigh.

298
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: I have a tough time seeing this offense get back

299
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: on track, and then we look at the defense to

300
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: defense continues to struggle. I just can't figure out why

301
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: they can't figure it out. Look, I'm with you. Let

302
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: me give you a little piece of advice here. We're

303
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: gonna go to the to the Arizona Cardinals. Now, I

304
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna go a panic or no panic,

305
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: but don't hit that thing too hard because I got

306
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: a little hot chocolate. I got some hot chocolate on

307
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: a shirt here, So just a little love tap there.

308
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: It's time. WHOA, you went strong on that thing. It's

309
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: time to panic. It's time to panic. Oh, b A.

310
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: Bruce areas one of the best coaches in the league.

311
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: But right now I'm worried about the Cardinals because when

312
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I look at Carson Palmer, I think it's over. I

313
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: think it's a done deal. I don't think we will

314
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: see Carson Palmer play at a Pro Bowl level again.

315
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: I believe this is part of a trim. We saw

316
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: it last year, and we saw it last year. Went

317
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: on passes of twenty yards and more. He completed sixteen

318
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: of sixty seven, four touchdowns, five interceptions. In Week one,

319
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: he was oh for five at that same range. If

320
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals cannot generate the big play, if they cannot

321
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: throw the deep ball, they have a tough time sustaining drives.

322
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: And without David Johnson in the backfield, I just don't

323
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: see how this team can get it done. Forget about it.

324
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Poor dirt on him, get ready for the draft. It's

325
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: a rap. I feel like we should be listening to

326
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: some Sarah mclocks and listen to Bucks take right there.

327
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I feel like I'm just I'm

328
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: just it's just very somber crying. It's very sad. Let's go,

329
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's you know done. A moment of silence.

330
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: We need a moment of silence here for the Cardinals,

331
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't know anything ready for the draft. They looked old.

332
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: Let's just let's just call it like it is. All right,

333
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chargers. The Chargers. The team suffered

334
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: a tough loss. They go on the road inside the division,

335
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. They're down big. They end up coming

336
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: back making it a good football game, but doesn't happen

337
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: for him. I'm gonna say, no, panic. I'm gonna say no, no,

338
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna panic there. And not only because I

339
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: don't want to get more hot chocolate on No, I

340
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: really don't think they should panic. Look, you get a

341
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: field goal blocked at the end of the game. Uh,

342
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: They're right there, Denver Broncos on the road. The defensive

343
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: front was, as advertised, stepped up in a big way. Um.

344
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: I like what they did. When you talk about the outside,

345
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: I know they gave us some plays to Mary's Thomas,

346
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: but Jason Heywards in perfect position. I think they're finding

347
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: the secondary two areas need to tackle a little bit better. Uh,

348
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: And then to me, yeah, the tackling needs to improve

349
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then in the middle linebacker position

350
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: missing Denzel Peraman is big, and they got targeted a

351
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: little bit with his backup Hece Pillard got targeted in

352
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: the passing games specifically, and then offensively, they're gonna be fine.

353
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen dropped some balls. Get some of that rust off.

354
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: But they need to be more aggressive. I thought the

355
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: random ball a little bit too much stuff much. They

356
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: stuck with it too much much, and that to me, like,

357
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I love coach Lynn, but coach Lens and running backs

358
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: coach get running back coaches a head coach, let's commit

359
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: to the run. No no, no, let's put the ball

360
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: on our best player's hand and that and that to

361
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: me is for your quarterback Philip Rivers. Once they put

362
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: it in his hands. Look at the comeback that they made.

363
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: They gotta be a little bit more aggress they were

364
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: down down like he needs to take care of the ball.

365
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: But I do like and I think the strength of

366
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: their squad in the passing game is certainly on the outside.

367
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: I would like to see a little more from Melvin Gordon. Yeah,

368
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna get them going. A couple of nice pops, has

369
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: some flash plays, just get them going. But I think

370
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: they get back. I'm not worried about the LA charges.

371
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: I think they can continue to do it. And they're

372
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: fighting for l A. So they take your lid out

373
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: of here, and we're done. We're done. We're done. We're

374
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: done with that. Let's jump to some college here, Buck,

375
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: why not let's do some college. You know I love

376
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: the college I know you do. Would be the reason

377
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: why you do it because what you did last week.

378
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: Look at look at the smile, and let's look at

379
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: the at the board here and and this is painful

380
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: for me to look at here, but Bucky, oh there

381
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: right at the top nine thirteen and nine, Sully thirteen

382
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: and nine and just one game back after a horrendous

383
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: week that puts me in last place at twelve and ten.

384
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: But I'm coming back to it's the yellow helmets from

385
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: the Mountaineers. That that was. Oh yeah, I heard that.

386
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: I heard a state worsen ugly yellow helmets. Did not

387
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: see him, but a big one coming up next week

388
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: against Wick Force, but this week Buck the Marquee game.

389
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I believe this is our two pointer. Can I get

390
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: confirmation behind two points? It's the two pointer? Clemson at Louisville.

391
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: This is number three Clemson at number fourteen Louisville. Clemson

392
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: in their defense, Bucky going up against Lamar Jackson. You

393
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: got to see him in person last week? What say you?

394
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: Normally in these situations always go for the defense, and

395
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: I think Clemson's defense is lights out. They have pros everywhere,

396
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: particularly on their defensive line. But after watching Lamar Jackson

397
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: up close, he's something different. He's Michael Vick two point oh.

398
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: He's a dynamic athlete. He's electric, he's a playmaker. And

399
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: even though you can pick apart his game for some

400
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: of his accuracy woes, he does stow the ball well enough,

401
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: particularly in breaking rows inside the numbers, to give him problems.

402
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with louis Ville in this, and I

403
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: believe Lamar Jackson puts on an absolute show. This is

404
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: one of the games where I think he can be

405
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: a defining moment for him in terms of trying to

406
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: get his second Heisman trophy, and because I'm on boards

407
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: and he's going to win the trophy again, back to

408
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: back Heisman trophies. I believe this is the game that

409
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: kind of pushes him over to top. All right. I

410
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: actually wrote something this week on this game and said,

411
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: who's gonna Who's the best football player in this game?

412
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: Reached out to five NFL executives part of my Ask

413
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: five series, and one of the results I got back

414
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: it was it was perfect the way it was worded.

415
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to throw that up here because this is

416
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: exactly how I feel. He said. Lamar Jackson hands down,

417
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: best player in this game. He's incredible athlete and playmaker.

418
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: Even though he might miss that easy throw in the

419
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: first quarter, which we we've seen happen, no question, when

420
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: the money is on the line, he gets it there.

421
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: When he gets outside the pocket, he's special. So I

422
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: think sometimes we focus on some of those ugly misses

423
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: and we don't say, okay, look the good far outweighs

424
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: the bad with Lamar Jackson is a special talent, better

425
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: team Clemson, best player on the field, Lamar Jackson. I

426
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: think they're at home. Bobby Petrino gets cooking it up

427
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: nice this week and I'm with you, Bucky. I actually

428
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: think that Louisville ends up winning this football game. Again,

429
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: not the best team, but they are gonna be the

430
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: best team on this day. Yeah, I think so. I

431
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: just believe in the quarterback, and I know he has

432
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: struggled at times at the end of the season last

433
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: year against some tough defenses. He couldn't get it going.

434
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: But I think he has heard it all off season.

435
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: I believe he's really prepared for this Clemson team. Louisville,

436
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: al right, next one. Shoot, this is huge, Bucky. We've

437
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: got Vince Young, Matt lionet. Oh the last time they

438
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: played a flag football game in the Coliseum? Did I miss?

439
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: They should do that? They're playing the BCS game. I

440
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: met Jamal Charles is still still playing, though, you gotta

441
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: kind of get him out. Look Texas going to the

442
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: Coliseum to take on USC. First of all, before we

443
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: picked the game. How cool is this? All these neutral

444
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: site games? That's great. No, this is the way it

445
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: should be. Let's do a true home and home, traditional

446
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: powerhouses go on the road and playing one at home.

447
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: I love this idea, this matchup here. I mean I

448
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: like it. I mean, I just like the environment. I

449
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: like what potentially could happen to call use him in

450
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: this game. Texas has to really step up. They're taken

451
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: on a big one. The thing is the Trojans could

452
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: be right for a letdown. You know, they're beat up,

453
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: beat up a little bit. Play Stanford may not really

454
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: focus on Texas. That's kind of tough. Makes me want

455
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: to lean. But I'm gonna go SC. I think SC's

456
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: gonna hit them in the mouth and they're gonna beat

457
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: the breaks off. Saying that blow, I think this could

458
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: be a little bit closer, partly because of what you said.

459
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the U SC. But Porter Gustin

460
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: outside linebar of USC probably not gonna play. He broke

461
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: his toe, broke upon his toe. Marlon Tweet Pelotto is

462
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: a fantastic freshman defensive tackle for them. He's out. I

463
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: think he has an m c L. He's done. Uh chundga.

464
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: They're starting right tackles beat up. This is what happens

465
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: the week after you play Stanford. I mean that was

466
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: a fist fight and USC won it in a big

467
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: way over the coach Texas average and something like forty

468
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: eight points a game even you know, We talked about

469
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: that Maryland game and they you know, scuffled around, but

470
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: they still scored a bunch of points. In last week.

471
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: I think they played a cupcake it might have been

472
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: San Jose State and scored a ton of points. So

473
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: I think this could be a sneaky shootout in this game.

474
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: I think USC ends up winning it, though I'm with

475
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: you on that one. All right, let's go to the

476
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: next one. Bucky Tennessee, Florida Sully is so nervous. Sully

477
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: is a Tennessee ball He's our producer, and uh, this

478
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: is what makes me disgusted with him. I love him.

479
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: I think he works hard, he's smart, Uh, he's reliable,

480
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: but he's also completely unloyal and unfaithful. The fact that

481
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: I'm looking at his pick for this game as a

482
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee volunteer and he would go with the Florida Gators

483
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: to win this game, I feel like, I feel like

484
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: we need some Rocky to have. I feel like we

485
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: need some Rocky Top. Now we do, we did, We should.

486
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: We should play Rocky Top any and every day. It's

487
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: my ringtown. But why to make a soccer shirt back there?

488
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: You got to say, I should you for the other

489
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: team that they're gonna know. I picked Florida last year

490
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: to kill the streets eleven a row. They did it.

491
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee has a beaten Florida in the swamps three, So

492
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: this is superstition, superstition. I'm picking the Gators. Yeah, I

493
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: could never verse Jens. Jens. It works. If it works,

494
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not crazy unless it works so bad unbelievable.

495
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find something to equate this too, and

496
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't believe. I just like going up to that's

497
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: going up to a woman you like and saying, man,

498
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: your friend is gorgeous. I mean, it's a psychology. No, No,

499
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: I really like you the best though. I mean I doubelievable.

500
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: Where where's like, don't y'all do some for life? First

501
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: of all? First of all, first of all, you can't talk.

502
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: You can't talk. Last week, Yeah, you pick, you picked

503
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: Louisville to beat North Carolina, You got it right, But

504
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: how do you sleep at night? I would never do

505
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: you guys up a good point, alright, Tennessee Florida. Look

506
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't he's going against his team, Bucky. What what

507
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: say you come? Woman? I hear Rocky Top right now,

508
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: Rocky Top down into swamp. I'm going with Tennessee somehow,

509
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: I know they kind of scooted by Georgia Tech, didn't

510
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: really play great against any inter state. But this is

511
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: the week they put it together. But Joe's I need it.

512
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: I need this one. Bucky Florida back to back UH

513
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 1: East Division champs, right, sec, who's the quarterback? They're at home?

514
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: Are you playing all time quarterback? No, they're at home.

515
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: They could play with tin offensive guys that had an

516
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: all time quarterback. I was trying to set it up

517
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: and then pull the old switch try, but now I

518
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: just kind of ruined it. I'm I'm picking Tennessee. Yeah,

519
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: partly because I'm just mad it's selling picking him, But no,

520
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee. Look I miss you know what I

521
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: miss red? I miss read yet it is Tennessee See.

522
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with volunteer on. Florida's had a lot of kit.

523
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: I can can't pick Florida when he's a hurricane. Wow,

524
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: that's like me picking the state wake forest or a

525
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: little disappointed behind the glass. I'm not gonna lie to you, guys, disappointed.

526
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: Where's the Let's keep the train moving here. L s

527
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: U number twelve in the country, going to take on

528
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: Mississippi State in missisipp State actually wrote something for our

529
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: notebook this week on their quarterback Fitzgerald and and this

530
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: is a big stage for him to chance to really

531
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: make a name for himself. Uh is it going to

532
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: happen in this one? Buck l U? L s U.

533
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: I believe arden Key is playing in this game. He

534
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: is making his debut. Now comes back and said that

535
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: he's not starting. He said he's gonna start, but he

536
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: may not be able to play the entire game. However,

537
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: nice pass rusher long range. We want to see him.

538
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: He's had a lot of issues this offseason. See what

539
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: it looks like when Yeah, I actually see he's put

540
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: on some weight allegedly, so we'll see how he carries

541
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: that weight. I like L s U and this one

542
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: on the road Mississippi State, I think gives him a

543
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: little bit of a game early. I think L s

544
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: U ends up pulling away. I like this coaching staff

545
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: at originn as assembled there at L s U. I

546
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be just fine in this one. Final one,

547
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: and this is an interesting one because Oregon is at

548
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: Wyoming Now, normally if you see Oregon at well, first

549
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: of all, kind of weird Organs traveling to go to Laramie.

550
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: But because of Josh Allen, the quarterback at Wyoming, and

551
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: this is the high profile opponent that they'll play. They

552
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: played Iowa early, but that's outside the region. So if

553
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 1: you're a scout in the West Coast and you want

554
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: to see a quarterback play against the best team possible,

555
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: this is it. Twenty one scouts are going to be

556
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: in Laramie for this game. That's a lot. I don't

557
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: know if there's enough hotel rooms and Laramie well, let's

558
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: se let's see. Let's see Alan handles the big stage.

559
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: This is a big stage. Didn't play well against i

560
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: will didn't play well a year ago against Nebraska. At

561
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: some point he has to play well against one of

562
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: these more marquee named schools. This is a huge game

563
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: for him, huge opportunity. In spite of that, I think

564
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: Willie Tagger got the Fighting Ducks going, Yeah, they look

565
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: I like Oregon as well. I'm gonna pick we all

566
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: picked the Oregan on this one. But here's the one

567
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 1: thing I would say, and it makes to see if

568
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: you agree with me on this one. Um, if you're

569
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the team is not very good. His team

570
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: is not very good. But if you if you things

571
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: go bad in this game, just no. Twenty one scouts

572
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: are there and they're not just watching to see what

573
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: you do on the field. They're seeing if things get

574
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: away from you a little bit. Are you sitting on

575
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: the bench by yourself? Are you Are you still engaged

576
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: in the game. You're still with your teammates. So just

577
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: a little friendly piece of advice. They're staying engaged because

578
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: they're outmatched in a big way. And oh they're they're matched,

579
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: and everyone wants to see. If you're a franchise quarterback,

580
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: you can raise the level of player from those around you.

581
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: Let's see what he can do to get those guys

582
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: to play. I want to see him be competitive. I

583
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: want to see how he is if his team falls

584
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: behind by a couple of scores. Does he change? You

585
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: talk about the body language. I'm looking to see doesn't

586
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: compete from beginning to end, because data say a lot

587
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: about his internal makeup. All right, we got the final

588
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: five games. We can just rip through these real quick.

589
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: Here of of what we have, let's look at the

590
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: board here buck, We've got Oklahoma State pit right, Oklahoma State,

591
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: we got U C. L A at Memphis both of us,

592
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: and we both got Arizona State and Texas. Take surprised.

593
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: I thought I'd be the lone wolf on that. Now

594
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: I want Red Raiders man at how am I gooding?

595
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: How about this one though? Stanford at San Diego State?

596
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: You're going? Where am I from? DJs? A lone wolf? Oh?

597
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: Nice to get a little wolf Homer, Oh Miss at

598
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: Cal I'm gonna go at Ole Miss, And I'm gonna

599
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: tell you if you haven't checked out Shay Patterson, you

600
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: need to check out Shape Patterson and why receiver A. J. Brown.

601
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: These are two stars into making. Oh Miss has something.

602
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: I think they will put it on. So the only

603
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: game we disagreed with there was the Stanford was the

604
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: Stanford to San Diego State. I saw Seo State play.

605
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: They're not bad. They just whipped up on it pack

606
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: twelve team last week in Arizona State. We know that

607
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: this style to play the Stanford does kind of have

608
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: you seen San Diego State? They Santego State? Stanford light

609
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,560
