WEBVTT - NFL Wild Card Weekend Preview 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:06.479 And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:07.760 What's up, everybody. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.880 Welcome to move the Sticks, DJ, Bucky and Rhett As. 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.360 We had a chance yesterday to dig into a lot 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.520 of the changes that were made around the league. Today 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.520 we're getting back to football, get a chance to really 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.400 dig in on these playoff matchups. Cannot wait to get 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.040 these games here and looking forward to chatting about what 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:27.520 we expect in those contests. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.040 So that's the ground we're going to cover here today 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:29.760 on mo the Sticks. 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.480 Before we look forward, guys, let's look back real quick. 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:34.320 Buck. 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:34.960 We haven't had a. 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.240 Chance to catch up on this one, but the Lions, 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.760 in a game that looks more lopsided than it really was, 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.400 they take care of the Minnesota Vikings thirty one to nine. 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.320 Some late scores, some red zone failures for the Vikings. 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.519 Sam Darnold seems to be the kind of the punching 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.560 bag on this one. But what was your takeaway after 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:53.519 digging into it? 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.520 Takeaway Man Dan Campbell, then his coaching staff, they're fearless. 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.920 We can talk about the Andrew and all that other stuff, 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.440 but it doesn't change the expectation that they have within 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.760 that building they expect and whin they expect to play 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.720 at the championship level, And the game plan that they 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.960 featured against the Minnesota Vikings suggested they have the ultimate 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.400 confidence in their players on defense, in particularly, they're going 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:15.920 to go man to man. And even though there were 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.200 some double teams and brackets and those things that were 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:23.360 cleverly hidden, they challenged the Minnesota Vikings one on one 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.120 on the outside press covers, very aggressive in their approach, 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.679 and then they doubted depression to go as Sam Donald. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.160 And even though Sam Donald had been one. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.560 Of the best in the league this season, against the Blitz, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.440 the lines were undeterred and they were able to get 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.280 away from it. But I'm gonna say this, if this 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.000 was a baseball game, there were a lot of long 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.160 foul balls. They better make sure if they play them again, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.560 if they play them again, they better make sure that 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.720 those things don't go inside the foul pole, because as 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.600 lopsided as it was in Detroit's favor, it could be 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.360 the other way the next time they match up if 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.680 they don't tighten up the coverage. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.800 Well. Look, the thing that I would say is Aaron Glenn. 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.680 Deserved that reception that he got at the at the 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:06.480 Pistons Arena. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.360 He was on it. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.280 In this game, fourteen plays in the red zone for 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.320 the Vikings, zero red zone touchdowns. They clouded the picture 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.160 and made made Sam Donold question his process and then 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.280 you know, held it just long enough for the pressure 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.880 then to get there. That was I thought, a masterclass 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.079 in dealing with a very good offense and a very 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.440 good offensive scheme that Kevin O'Connell puts out there every 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.120 week and puts into the hands of Sam Donald. And 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.560 now if you are the Vikings, and we'll get into 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.080 this here in a second, pushing this forward to that 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.280 Rams game on Monday night, but you've got a you've 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.040 got a little bit of a you know, reclamation to do, 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.720 like how do we get back to being us? How 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.040 do we get back to you know, having that confidence 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.120 in what we do. But man, that's what the Lions did. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.240 They not only won that game, but they planted some 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.680 seeds of doubt for me and what the Vikings can 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.519 do moving forward. 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.400 Yeah, I'm gonna go back to a Buck said too though. 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.160 Those long foul balls, I mean you have one where 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.240 Justin Jefferson catches that ball, you know ninety five times 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.880 out of one hundred. It was a little bit high, 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.000 but that's the back of the end zone. That's a touchdown. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.920 Then you have a protection breakdown. They get to Sam's 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.040 hand on that double move. It was a slug o 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.760 I believe from Jefferson that would have been a layup touchdown. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.320 He just threw it a little bit flat. I just 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.880 think cleaning up the red zone. Buck, You've you've been 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.280 in these been in these moments on these teams, and 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.160 I know it's maybe it's different going into a playoff week, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:31.280 but is there something too if you're Kevin O'Connell that 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.880 it's just, Hey, we're gonna spend we're gonna spend a 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.760 majority of our time this week just dialing in red zone. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.360 We're just gonna clean up some of that stuff. We're 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.440 gonna give it a little more attention. You ever on 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.080 a team where that type of a practice week where 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.640 it may be changed up just a little bit, put 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.520 a little more emphasis on that or third downs. 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.680 Yeah, I'm actually glad you said that, because I think 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.840 you'll get this approach. I played for David Shaw's dad, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.480 Willy Shaw, who's office coordinated. When I played for the Raiders, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.920 and he always talked about when you're building your team 0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:59.560 early in the season, you have to figure out what 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.080 kind of team you have. Are you a team that 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.200 can aggressively go after Are you a BIM but don't 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.280 break team? And he said, if you're one of those teams, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.640 that's a BIB, but don't break team. Between the twenties, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.600 you need to spend most of your time on the 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.760 practice field working in the red zone because your job 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.200 is to make sure that in the red zone we're 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.160 the best at it. We have most of our tricks 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.599 and gadgets in the red zone, so spend more time 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.200 on tasks being good there. We're not going to give 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.640 them the big play in between the twenties because our 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.680 work is done in the red zone. What you're saying 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.000 about the Minnesota Vikings, based on how they lost to 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.040 the Detroit Lions, you one hundred percent add some minutes 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.640 to the periods in the red zone. You spend maybe 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.440 two days working on red zone efficiency as opposed to just. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.000 The one day. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.200 To me, this game was one and lost in the 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.799 red zone. So the Minnesota Vikings, if they have another 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.000 opportunity against the Lions, they certainly have to spend more 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.320 practice time doing that and have some beaters to take 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.520 advantage of some of the things that the Lions throughout 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.560 at them and that win or go. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.200 Home situation that they saw on Week eight. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.440 Team right about the Rams it. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.720 Yeah, Look, I think the Rams have everything they need 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.200 to win this game and did win a game like 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.800 this at home against the Vikings. Think it was back 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.039 the second game after their bye week, and that was 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.760 kind of the beginning of this surge for LA. They 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.160 were getting everybody back healthy. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:17.839 At Puka. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.719 You had Cooper both going, You had about almost one 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.640 hundred yards from Kyron Williams, like you saw the formula. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.279 I had a few sacks from that talented young defensive front. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.600 They got after Sam Darnold in that game, and then 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.520 you know, they got some contributions from the you know, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.360 the ansel that the auxiliary players like Robinson seeing here 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.080 catching the the you know, the game winner. I think 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.479 that this game, that game, when you look back on it, 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.960 showed us what the Rams are at. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.200 Their best and if they are at their best, I 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.360 think they win this game against the Minnesota Vikings. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:48.880 Yeah. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.200 I'll tell you what's a confident bunch when you rest up, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.640 not Karen, who the opponent is, whether it was Washington, 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.520 believe what, you would have thought they would have preferred. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.280 But they were like, Hey, whoever's comming's coming, we don't care. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.960 We're going to rest up and get get ready to 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:00.560 roll Buck. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.320 I mean, look, I think there's a really unique approach 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.400 because in listening to Sean McVay talk about that, he said, 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.560 our job and our goal and I expectation is to 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.560 not only be in the playoffs for one game, but 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.960 to play multiple games. So at some point we're going 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.200 to see these teams anyway. To me, that is a 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:21.040 confident coach that doesn't matter anytime, any place, anywhere, like 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.960 we're gonna play whoever. I dig it, I mean, I 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.799 I appreciate it. We'll see if it comes to fruition. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.680 If they do benefit from having a home game, like 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.080 they've been pretty good on defense and they played really 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.680 well at home, Uh, that might be. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.760 That might have also gone into their thinking too. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.760 If you gonna win a super Bowl, not win the 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.719 first round of the playoffs, right, so if this puts 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.360 you in a better position to do that, to rest 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.240 some of these guys, then so be it. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.200 Yeah, unless unless being the three would have given you 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.520 a home field advantage in the in the championship game, 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.360 and being the four send you on the road. That 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.120 could that could change it. But yeah, we'll see. I 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.960 don't think that's likely uh a scenario to breakdown. So 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.800 let's get to the next one. Walk in Tampa Bay, 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.359 another rematch that we saw earlier this year. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.400 Buck, I'm so excited to see Jayden Daniels. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.320 But I say that, and I go back to what 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.800 I said a few weeks ago. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.800 Although they mess around with some teams and keep some 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.360 teams in games that maybe they shouldn't, man, I must 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:17.920 saw them on their best day, because when they came 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.720 out and whooped the Chargers, I was like, this is 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.920 one of the most physical teams in the NFL. Both 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.320 lines of scrimmage, very physical. And that's a team that 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:26.840 I don't know that i'd be all that excited to 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:27.840 face in the playoffs. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:28.760 Yeah, how about that. 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.640 It's funny, man, because I don't want to say in 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.520 essence edition by subtraction, but you would think this team 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.680 would have fallen apart after they lose Chris Godwin and 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.160 some of the others own offense, they appeared to found 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.000 to find a formula that works for them offensively. They 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.840 started running the ball right down people's throats while using 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.840 Mike Evans as the ultimate eracer. In the passing game, 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.520 Baker Mayfield is playing really well. And what they've done 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.880 with Baker Mayfield is they have them on a bit 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.600 of a pitch count, but they've let him go past 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.640 that pitch count when they need it, and he's been 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:04.080 really good, really efficient, really effective finding those open receivers 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.840 in those various windows. And then anytime you play a 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.640 Todd Bowles defense, regardless of who they have in the 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.240 back end, they are going to test your courage and 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.960 your discipline with relentless pressure. The Buccaneers are a tough 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:20.080 team and they can give Jayden Daniels problems, but I'm 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.720 not gonna lie. I'm excited to see how the young 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:26.000 quarterback handles this opportunity on a big stage in the postseason. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.160 You just from a you know, a team building perspective 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.240 here looking at this game, if I am wanted to 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.120 just kind of bring it all full circle with some 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.959 of these teams that are gonna be looking at new 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.800 head coaches and new personnel, executives. I'm taking a close 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.800 look at what Jason light has done in Tampa and 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.640 what his staff and Mike Greenberg, and I know it 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.400 has already gotten a interview require I think from the 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.240 New York Jess John Spytech as well. Like their formula 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:56.800 for building, rebuilding, and retooling offensive and defensive lines is 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.439 among the best that we have seen in this league. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.240 I mean the way that they continue to find premier 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.040 players in the draft up front on both sides. Graham 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.400 Barton the latest on the offensive side for Tampa, but 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.640 they they've gone to all corners. I mean Hobart College 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.600 with Ali Marpette who did some good things for him. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.120 Alex Kappa, you remember, started in Tampa and then you 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.160 got a big deal to go to Cincinnati. Like, they 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.880 have found really good players there and on both sides, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.880 and I think that's what it's going to come down to, 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.800 Like can they continue to provide some time for Baker 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.320 Mayfield against the team in Washington who is a top 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.760 five sack team in this league as a group, right, 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.320 So if they can continue to find time for Baker, 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.240 open up some holes for Bucky irvingha Rashad White, I 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.280 think the commander. I mean, I think the Buccaneers marched 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.160 through to the second round. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:43.560 Yeah, I do think it's gonna be a fun game, 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.400 one of the ones I'm looking forward to the most. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.200 Maybe not as much as this next one though, green 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.840 Bay Philly for having the year Philly had. Man, it's 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.560 not not a walk in the park with the seventh 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.719 seed coming in here with the Green Bay Packers, who 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.680 a little bit stumbling down the home stretch here, buck, 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.000 but it's still a dangerous team. They played to kick 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.679 off the season in Brazil and they're going to see 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.520 each other again here. A very contested game. They're in Brazil, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.320 and look, I think Philadelphia's got the better roster. I 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.200 think They've got the better team. But man, that is 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.400 not a layup first round game for a two seed. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.679 No, not a layup. And the Green Bay Packers are talented. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.800 They have tremendous depth that can give you problems. It'll 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.360 be tested though. They lose Christian Watson to an ACL 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.600 injury that robs them of a deep ball playmaker for 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.000 Jordan Love, but they have the running game, and they 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.599 have a team that is really a bit of a 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.959 chameleon when it comes to their offensive style. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.079 They can run the ball heavily with Josh Jacobs. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.240 They have a bit of a ball control offense where 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.959 they can throw it around to a bunch of different 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:45.000 pass catchers and when Jordan Love values the ball takes 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.680 care of the ball. This offense is one that allows 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.360 them to play keep away and they can put pressure 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.600 on Philadelphia by using their offense to be their best defense. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.840 And oh, by the way, Jeff Afley into their defense, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.040 they turned the ball over a ton. Really challenging game 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.760 for the Philadelphia Eagle is they got to be on there, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:01.839 They got to bring their a games. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:02.400 They gonna win it. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.800 I feel like the movie Rounders was playing in my 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.800 head when this match. Right back to where I started 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.160 with three stacks of high society here, right back to 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.000 where we started down in South America with the Packers 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.960 in the Eagles. Now, a lot has changed, certainly, But 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.000 you know, for the Packers, you know, coming out of 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.160 that game, Jordan Love was banged up, a little bit 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.960 banged up in this last season finale for Green Bay two, 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.960 It's not think he's going to be fine. My biggest 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.320 question is, you know, what's the word on Jalen Hurts 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.320 and you know, what's it going to be like for 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.440 him in the concussion protocol these last couple of weeks 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.440 to get back out there full throttle with this group there. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.560 You know, this has not been a you know, last 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000 couple of weeks of the season that has been free 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.120 from drama, as is the case in Philly, So you 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.240 don't want to get this thing started off poorly, right, Like, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.000 how does Philly react if Jalen's got some rust early? 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.000 That's that's something that I'll be watching for. How do 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.720 those receivers react. How does this offense come together? Good 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.400 thing is they can They can hand it off to 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.760 the best running back in the league. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.080 So we'll see how that plays out. But that's what 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:04.760 I'm curious about. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.240 Yeah, I think that them being able to rest, Philly 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.080 being able to rest last week, get saquon fresh legs. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.199 I think that's a big part of it. And you 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.520 know it hurts, you know. I imagine he'll be cleared 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.040 and ready to go by the time we get to 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.280 game day and he's going to have fresh legs as 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.319 well and be rested. So I'm telling I'm telling Jalen, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.960 let's spend a little extra time on the legs in treatment. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.800 Not really worried about the shoulder right now, let's not. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.360 Let's just let's get ready to roll with our offensive line. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.640 You've got fresh legs. Saquon's got fresh legs. We'll worry 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.800 about the passing game when we get to round number two. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.120 But let's take care of business against the Green Bay Packers. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.320 And I do think the best way for them to 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:48.440 do that is on the ground. All right, guys, let's 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.520 get over to the AFC Buffalo Denver buck. I feel 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.480 like this is a game where you know all these 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.840 other you know matchups, you can make the argument and 0:12:58.840 --> 0:12:59.559 make the case. 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:00.240 For the upset. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.520 I feel like nobody has made a strong argument for 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.040 the Denver Broncos to win this ballgame. And I think 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.160 there is a path. What is that path in your opinion? 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:08.640 Oh? 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.120 I think that path is their defense really getting after 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.800 Josh Allen, really suffocating the run a game and making 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.640 Josh Allen play at a superhero level and hoping that 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.959 bad Josh Allen shows up where he makes a couple 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.960 risky throws that go the other way. This Broncos defense 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.880 leads the league in sacks they can get after advance Joseph. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.079 Look he's fearless when it comes to attacking the quarterback. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.960 If you're Sean Payton, like, and I hate this saying, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.160 but you're playing with house money because no one necessarily 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.840 expected them to be there, they can be free and 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.520 loose when they played this game. The pressure is really 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.480 on the Buffalo Bills to knock off a team that 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.280 everybody expects them to win. Lean on the defense, see 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.480 if you can shrink the game with the running game, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.960 and look, man, let bow knicks make a handful of 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.439 plays with his arm and leg. If they can get 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.839 it to the fourth quarter, that's when I think you're 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.800 trying to win it. If you're Sean Payton, I think 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.600 this is a game where you do everything in your 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.640 power to make it a fifteen minute game by being really. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.079 Close to the Buffalo Bills and that last quarter. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.120 Yeah, you know, and I gave you something real quick. Here, 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.240 let me get you something real quick sometimes. You see, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.880 you know, you get to play caller. You're holding the thing. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:11.080 You know. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.160 Sean Peyton likes to hold that card up there and 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.280 there's usually a message there. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.439 So if he flips the card around. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.120 This week, this is what it's gonna it's gonna look 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.040 like here, it's gonna have it's gonna have all these screens. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.480 It's going to have a million of these, have a 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.920 good bit of runs right here, and then our pure 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.560 past a couple, just a couple of those. That's gonna 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.000 be our that's gonna be our Sean Payton call sheet 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:33.720 this week. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.480 Marvin MEM's going on some of those screens, right, get 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.480 get Troy Flank Franklin the ball, maybe maybe down the 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:40.880 field that. 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.600 Every screen you ever imagine, tight end screens, We're going 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:45.680 to dust it all off. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:46.880 Yeah, I get that. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.040 That run section is kind of what I'm a little 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.760 bit curious about, especially if we get some adverse weather 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.320 up there in Orchard Park, New York. So I don't 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.520 obviously that has not been their strength this year, but 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.120 I think this will be a really fun test, you know, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.040 for a quarterback in bo Nicks, who's the heck of 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.320 a competitor, just like Josh Allen. Think there's some some 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.280 real similarities there on the way that they approach the game. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.160 Now we kind of get to see it unfold. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.120 Yeah, and then here I have a buck. I've just 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.920 got the call sheet handed to me for the for 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.320 the Buffalo side of things. 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.800 And that's that's all you gotta do. Uh, Josh you 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.440 you I get it. That's it. 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:24.920 I get it. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:25.840 That's all we need. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:26.000 Good. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:28.520 Yeah. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.400 Yeah, I'm in a professional call sheet. Yeah maker over here. 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.200 You know, I just uh a free service that I'm 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.720 offering up for the rest of the league. 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.840 Now, this is going to be Josh Allen. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.760 This is I'm hoping that he just stays healthy and 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.560 we get to see the get the full Josh experience 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.400 where he's he's running the ball like ten, twelve, thirteen 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.600 times to go along with these incredible throws he's capable 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.880 of making. But it's because it reminds me buck of 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.200 of what you get to see. It's high school football 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.880 with him, Like he plays the game like you would 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:58.560 if you're at a high school and you just say, 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.360 you're the biggest, baddest dude my team. You play quarterback, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.200 and then Why'm gonna make them tackle you as many 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.080 times as possible? 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.160 I mean, why not when you have the best player, 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.440 you don't make it really complicated. Give him the ball, 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.440 give him opportunities more than anybody else, and let him 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.520 have the biggest impact on the game. That's how Buffalo plays. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.280 And it's funny at a time when we look at 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.880 this team and we look at their roster, particularly one 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.760 that is without Stefan Diggs on the perimeter, one that 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.240 kind of shed a lot of the pieces around him, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:26.480 they perform better. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.000 And let's talk. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.920 About Josh Allen and what we see from quarterbacks. It's 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.400 the maturation and the evolution of him at the position. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.200 The guy that was kind of the gunslinger, the one 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:38.480 that played like John Wayne. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.440 He still has some of that, but. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.880 He really reserves it to until red zone situations or 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.760 end of game. Gotta have his situations. You don't see 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.880 him run around recklessly for most of the game, but 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.240 it's only in those two areas when you got to 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.680 have a play at the end of the game, where 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.360 the end of a half or down in the red zone, will. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:58.880 He put their cape on and go and do Josh 0:16:58.920 --> 0:16:59.680 Allen type stuff. 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.080
