The NFL is the greatest soap 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: of for just when you think you know what anything, Yeah, 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: you don't know anything, No, no clue. I mean I'm 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: sitting there scene set here before we get to our takeaways, 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: I'm I'm in Oakland for the Chargers Raiders game, and 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: before the game starts, I'll have my computer open and 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I'll just have some different games on there, uh, waiting 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: for this game to start. And you're just flipping around 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: and just Kansas City, Arizona was hanging with Kansas City 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 1: for a minute, and like, what's going on here? Then 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: then I flip over. I'm like buffalo, whoa, what happened? 19 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: All of a sudden flicking score points? Like just you 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get Barkley off the couch. 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: Don't believe had a chance to win than anybody they 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: had at quarterback on the roster. It's unbelievable. I said 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: on the sheet right here, Buck that the Saints are 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl contenders. That actually is not what I said, 25 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: because I wrote down the Saints are super Bowl favorites 26 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: if the season in it right now, this is the 27 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. Reaching the Bankfield jobs back 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: looks touchdown Saints unbelievable seventeen yards Mike Thomas across the 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: middle of his second touchdown of the day. Now that 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: was I mean, that was a thrashing there. With the 31 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Saints going on the road against Cincinnati, and one of 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: the things about this team I've said it, I know 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: other people have said the same thing. Okay, we'll see 34 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: how they do when they get on the road and 35 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: play a tough opponent. Well, what they did is they 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: got the Bengals defensive coordinator fired. I mean, man, he 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: got fired after half a season done. That is unbelievable, 38 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: and there were something to believe it was a success 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: and playing in place where Terrell Austin would have the 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: opportunity to replace Marvin Lewis. But Marvin Lewis porter plug 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: on that experiment. Look at look at these last teams. 42 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Buck the Giants are terrible, Okay, so they'd wonder there 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: the three games they started winning a Browns, Falcons, Giants, Okay, 44 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: but since then, look at the Look what they've wracked 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: up here. Redskins not a bad team. At the Ravens, 46 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: not an easy place to play at the Vikings. I 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: got home against the Rams and then on the road 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: against the Bengals. I mean, they're they're They're not playing 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: the lowest to the low in the NFL right now, No, 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: they're not. And the way they're doing it, um, they're 51 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: doing it like super Bowl teams should do it. Like 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: when you're looking at Super Bowl teams, you're looking for 53 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: like those weaknesses, the fatal flaws that can come back 54 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: to bite them. But when I look at this team, 55 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: this team is pretty intact, with exception of maybe their 56 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: past coverage and the ability to consistently get after the 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: pastor but offensively they can control the game. Drew Brees 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: five yards, three touchdowns running the ball. Marketing from thirteen 59 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: for one oh four, Alvi Kamart twelve for fifty six 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: to tot house. People thought I was kind of being 61 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: over the top when I see this could be the 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: best backfield of all. People keep throwing that at you, 63 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: by the way I mean, but I mean like the numbers, 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: like they play a style that you absolutely love. I 65 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: like how Sean Payton does and I wrote this, man, 66 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: I've spent so much time righting this big old thing 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: on dead right. I was ready for nothing and then 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: he he pops as achilling the day before. But this 69 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: team is really built to win. I like how their 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: position and you're right, you have to kind of pilson 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: them in as the favorite to win the Super Bowl. Well, 72 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, I love dropping music references on here my 73 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: soundtrack for the Saints. When you watch their offense rhythm, No, 74 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: that's what it is. I mean, Drew Brees is in 75 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: such a zone right now, in such a rhythm. He 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: hits his back foot and he knows exactly where the 77 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: football is going, and it's gone. I had a chance 78 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: to talk to it to Mark Schlareth before the game 79 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: that he's great and and brought up a great point. 80 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 1: We're talking about Philip Rivers and uh and talking about 81 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and some of these older quarterbacks, and Drew 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: Brees came up. Just guys are having all a success, 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: and he said, why would you want to quit when 84 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: you finally get the answers to the test like like 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: they do. Drew Brees knows exactly what's happening before the 86 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: ball is snap, knows exactly where he wants to go 87 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: with the football, and he's accurate as I'll get out. 88 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: I was watching the tape this morning, and you can 89 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: freeze it, but the ball never comes back behind his helmet. 90 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: Like the ball, it's everything is right here. Just just 91 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: it is darts. I mean people say throwing darts. He 92 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: literally is just throwing darts. And it's it's stealing. It 93 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: absolutely is stealing. The way they're moving the ball and 94 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: the way it looks right now. Uh, they're gonna have 95 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: home field advantage in the playoffs is what it looks like. 96 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: And I don't see I don't see them losing at home. 97 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: They should have been. Truthfully, they should at least been 98 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: in the in the conference championship game last year, if 99 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: not the Super Bowl. Absolutely not for the weird play 100 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: down there in Minnesota. No, I mean they are, I 101 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: mean theyre will positioned to be the only thing that 102 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: kind of prevents me from writing them right into the 103 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: championship game. In terms of getting home field, their division 104 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: is tough, so having to play the Atlanta Falcons and 105 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers could be tough on them, whereas the 106 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: Rams don't have to play that tough in division schedule 107 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: could give them an opportunity to went home. Feel but 108 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: we've seen their home field, the Ramps home field is 109 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: not quite light what the Saints get when they played 110 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: the don't two games with the Panthers. Uh to finish 111 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: up the season there in the last few weeks will 112 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: be will be interesting. Two of their last three games 113 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: against the Panthers, so that'll go a long way in 114 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: deciding that division. All right, Buck, what do you got next? 115 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is back Luck wide open to the ends 116 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: on lockto for Eric Ebrock touchdown, touchdown, a twelve yard 117 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: pass wide Open's Eric Ebron. That's his third touchdown of 118 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: the half, and then could fleet twenty to seven? Hey man, 119 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: uh Look, Frank Reggor is a personal friend of former teammate, 120 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: but never in my wildest dreams that I think that 121 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: he could get this team back on track based on 122 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: what they had on paper. The fact that they're sitting 123 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: at four and five, Andrew luck is playing um at 124 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: a very very high level despite coming back from an injury, 125 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: and the way that they're doing it is more remarkable 126 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: to me. All Right. We've talked about on this podcast 127 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: multiple times that they need to be able to run 128 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: the ball to take are of the football alleviate something 129 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: the pressure. Where I'm looking at the stats, twenty three 130 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: for eight one rushing yards. That's not enough to necessarily 131 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: offset it. But what they have found they are using 132 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the tied end and throwing the ball in the middle 133 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: of the field to control the game. Three tight ends, 134 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: Eric Ebron, mo Ali Cox, and then Jake Doyle. Those 135 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: guys combined for eight receptions. Eric Ebron had three touchdowns, 136 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 1: two touchdowns reception and then he had a little reverse 137 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. But they are finding the way to 138 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: create mismatches by bringing in these run heavy sets and 139 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: attacking your base defense because they have better athletes at 140 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: tight end than you do a linebacker and safety. And 141 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: I just love the way they're doing it. And they're 142 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: able to not only max protect Andrew Lucky. Sometimes they 143 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: also are able to get the ball out quick. And 144 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: on defense they're playing with the energy and effordent enthusiasm 145 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: that you like to see. I just kind of like 146 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: this this team and where they're going. And they got 147 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: a big game coming up with the Tennessee Titans. They 148 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: could literally legitimately put them in the mixed about that 149 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: run for our playoff berth than no one outside of 150 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colt staffers and team could have expected. I'm 151 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: gonna give you three numbers and see if you can 152 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: figure it out. You're not gonna be with Feiters house 153 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: count tricky seven point five, the number three and the 154 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: number one. You ready for this? Ready? Seven point five? 155 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: That's the amount of money seven point five million Ricky 156 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: Bronze getting this year, which looks like a bargain in 157 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Hinds two years fifteen million what he signed for with 158 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: three the three touchdowns he had in the game, and 159 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: he's been on fire all season long. The one uh 160 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: unrelated just to his North Carolina tires have one win. 161 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: I thought I would just fire that one in there 162 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: right now. They need more players, like they need some 163 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: more Buckey Brooks and eric Key Brons down there in 164 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: Chapel hill Man very run nine touchdowns on the year. 165 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: We got him right, man, That's what I'm saying. Hey, 166 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: nine ever quit on talent, never quit on it. And 167 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: so he talked about that. To the old thing where 168 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: we're talking about raiders. Davis always kicked the tires on 169 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: the first round gap because at some point somebody thought 170 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: he was talented enough to be rafting in that first round. 171 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: The ability is in there somewhere to the right environment. 172 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: So now, like the funny thing is, now let's look 173 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: at the Detroit lines. You think they could use the 174 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: guy like Ibron to control to Fiel after they get 175 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: rid of go to say man grape fine um. And 176 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: when Frank Wright was talking, he was talking about like, hey, 177 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: he's our Lebron James. He talked about this before the season. 178 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: He's Lebron James. We can put him on one side, 179 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: clear out and create mismatches. Everyone kind of snaked and laugh. 180 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: I think Frank Reixx having the last left and on 181 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: the touchdown to Moiley Cox. When you watch the tape, 182 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: Ebron's open on the corner. You could have four touchdowns 183 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: and I mean just just dropping it in playing with 184 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: the confidence it's just understanding how important the tight end 185 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: position can be. The Indianapolis colts man. Hats off to 186 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: them for what they're doing with the tight ends, working 187 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: inside out. All right, big day for Baker. It's my 188 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: next takeaway. Higgins intervolved, go out wide left, Landry and 189 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: callaway and your side of the right, duke counts in 190 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: the running back, makefield shop counting back to pass. Baker 191 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: pros card. It's duke shots and him's going in touchdown. 192 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: All right. So I watched this this morning to see 193 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: what was going on here in a couple of takeaways. 194 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: First of all, came out early in this game and 195 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: really got Mayfield in a rhythm. I keep coming back 196 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: to that word rhythm talked about with Drew Brees to 197 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: the same thing with Mayfield. There in twenty one personnel. 198 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: First play the game, quick little play action slant backfoots 199 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: in the ground. Ball's gone. Second play thirteen personnel three 200 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: tight ends out there, max protection and nice rhythm out 201 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: back foot balls out before you can get out of 202 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: the break. Uh. The next play, stay in that thirteen 203 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: personnel three tight ends rhythm. Uh. A little in in cut. 204 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: I believe it was by a tight end, so everything 205 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: was backfoot, you're protected, backfoot ball out, protected, back foot 206 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: ball out. And then as the game started to go on, 207 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: now you start to see him spread you out a 208 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: little bit. We saw some of those Oklahoma concepts hitting 209 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: Callawean slants and different things, but buck out, you know, 210 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: the touchdown, he extends a play. But the majority of 211 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: these plays in this game was in pocket, in rhythm, 212 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: and they got Baker Mayfield really rolling here. I thought 213 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens did a nice job. You know, Freddy Kitchens 214 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: did do a really nice job. But I think here's 215 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: the the underrated part of what we're discovering in the 216 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: National Football League. Everyone wants to talk about it being 217 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: a passing league, and it is to a point, but 218 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: what the good teams are doing, they're using the thread 219 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: of the run to create opportunities to throw the ball. 220 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: Play action is still the best way to get all 221 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks easy completions, but really young quarterbacks, and what we're 222 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,479 Speaker 1: seeing less is more with Baker Mayfield twenty passes attempts, 223 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: seventeen yards, three touchdowns. They had twenty nine rushing attempts. 224 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: Ran the football so awesome, throw early, run late, but 225 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: you use the thread of the run early to back 226 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: them off. You did complete some passes day back off, 227 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: then you run it. Um. I just love what they're doing. 228 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: And when you're trying to play what we call the 229 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: defensive type game, running the ball helps you. They have 230 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: a level of toughness, and now you're beginning to see 231 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns kind of display some of that confidence 232 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: I kind of like with Greg Williams is doing with 233 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens as the offensive coordinator. And look, didn't get sacked. 234 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: I mean, let talked about that max protection early in 235 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: the game. Protected Baker, got him confident, got him in 236 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: a rhythm. And one of the things I was thinking 237 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: about because I watched this tape back to back after 238 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: I watched Breeze, and Breeze was my first takeaway there 239 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: With the Saints, everybody's talking about, Okay, you gotta go 240 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: study Oklahoma, study Oklahoma and make Baker comfortable. And I'm 241 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: sending you're going, no, no no, go study the Saints, what 242 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: the Saints are doing. And I'm gon actually do a 243 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: little video on this today on the aftermath because some 244 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: of the exact same concepts where you'll see, uh, you're 245 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: you're in the gun. You got split backs, you gotta receiver, 246 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: just come on a little slant that's kind of post 247 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: up and get the little, quick, little wheel out with 248 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: the back. They both they both ran that same play. 249 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: They were effective the screen game. Both those teams use 250 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: the screen game a little bit. That's where they need 251 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: to be studying the Saints. Yeah, because look, the comp 252 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: that most people want to make is Baker Mayfield will 253 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: be Drew Brees. Well, if we're going to say that 254 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be Drew Brees, let's take the blueprint. 255 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: Drew Brees had the success that he has Drew Brees 256 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: for all the things that we talked about, even in 257 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: looking at that last game, but they put up fifty 258 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: one points. It is the balance between the run game, 259 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: man go with the passing game concepts and being able 260 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: to throw off play actually finding easy completions, easy completions, 261 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: easy windows, max protects one and two, man Rouse being 262 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: able to make sure that he's comfortable that Cleveland Browns 263 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: had done that. So, yes, what you're saying is absolutely right. 264 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: Yes you can mix in the Oklahoma stuff, but go 265 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: still a little portion of that New Orleans Saints playbook 266 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: and some of the stuff that even Russell Wilson does, 267 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Max protect get the ball out. And I think a 268 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: lot of these, a lot of smart play callers in 269 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: the league right now, I'd say probably we have about 270 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: five right about five or six coordinators are operating on 271 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: a different level than everybody else, and you know, they 272 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: study one another. I think Sean Payton is even Yeah, 273 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: I read I read that. Uh. Last week Albert Brier, 274 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: our former colleague here, wrote something about Sean Payton. How 275 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: Sean Payton studies the kan City Chiefs, he studies Eagles, 276 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles, he studies the l A Rams, and he 277 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: takes some of those concepts and he's like, okay, I 278 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: can add that that fist with what we're doing. I 279 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: think the great ones are one two steps ahead of 280 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: what everyone else is doing. So they actually there was 281 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: a play when I was watching it, uh that that 282 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: made total sense because you're watching the Saints and started 283 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: going back to them right here, but there's a player 284 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: on the back side, so it basically just getting into 285 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: a vertical with with a drag and then getting him 286 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: up the scene. We saw that the Philadelphia Eagles in 287 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: London got her tight end drags all the way across 288 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: the field and comes to the seam, and they did 289 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Champagne the exact same thing. So 290 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: it's just fun to watch the guys that are being 291 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: creative and how they're kind of copying one another and 292 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: taking little bits and pieces from each other. Yeah, because 293 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. You have to be 294 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: able to find a way to create some easy completions 295 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: for your quarterback. And it's not about steal in plays. 296 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: In fact, that play that you talked about there, that's 297 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: the old Gary Kubiak play. That's an old play action 298 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: play that he's run for years. We've seen Shanahan, both hands, 299 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: Mike and Cow used those plays. Look, everything in the 300 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: league gets recycled once you put it on tape. Is 301 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: there for everybody to steal that Someone sits in the 302 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: office and they just steal plays and give it to 303 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: the offensive minds. The best play callers, the best play 304 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: designers are not afraid to barrow from their brethren. All right, 305 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: what's your next takeaway? But changes could be coming. In 306 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: New York, Markley takes play action fake looks into the 307 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: ends on fire short, he's got a man open and 308 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: dead is Dawkins touchdown, Buffalo Da Darkins touchdown. Who aren't 309 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: these guys? Who are these guys the Bills were the 310 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown. That's the Dion Dawkins. Uh, it's Murphy, 311 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: think Murphy. That's that's a fantastic call right there. I 312 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: mean it's a fantastic call. If you're the Buffalo Bills, 313 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: you have to be a status that you're able to 314 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: get a guy off the street in Matt Barkley who's 315 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: been there a little over a week, maybe two weeks, 316 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: to get him in. He starts over, Nathan Peterman goes 317 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: fifty two, two touchdowns, Shandy McCoy has a hun of 318 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: yard game. Marcus Murphy who Marcus Murphy has sixty nine 319 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: yards rushing. That's the kind of day that the Buffalo 320 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: bill has had. And so when you think about that, 321 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: and you think about all the conversation hit into the 322 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: game about how could the Buffalo Bills try out of 323 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, The conversation now has to turn to the 324 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: New York just and understand why did it happen? How 325 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: did it happen? Well, here's here was this was this 326 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: Sam Donald Appreciation Day. Because everybody kind of was lumping 327 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: all their struggles. Well, you know, Sam Donald just not turnovers, 328 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: He's not We talked about a little, Hey, he's gonna 329 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: play better. But then you look at it and say, okay, 330 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: Josh McCown. We know what Josh McCown is. He might 331 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: not be an A level quarterback, but he's a solid 332 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: C plus type quarterback who's gonna be able to move 333 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: the ball. He has done, he's showing that throughout his career. 334 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: They were inapt, they couldn't do anything offensively. So to me, 335 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: it shows like that their struggles and and the fact 336 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: that they were even competitive earlier in the season with 337 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, tip your cap to him. That wasn't all 338 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: on him their struggles. I know the turnovers he had 339 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: trying to make plays, but McCown here, no touchdowns, two picks. 340 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: They couldn't move the football against a team that's all 341 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: day average. All of the talent for the Jets is 342 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, I don't 343 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: know how they give up forty one points with that 344 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: defense and the players that they have on defense, but 345 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: they gave up forty one points offensively. There's no one 346 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: on their roster outside of Sam Donald that you would 347 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: be clamoring to have on your football team. No one. 348 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: There's no one that is a top marquee name. There's 349 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: no one that you would make calls and inquire like, hey, 350 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: can I get There's no one there. It's just a quarterback. 351 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: And so this team, the changes are gonna happen. It 352 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: probably happened on the coaching staff, But I think you 353 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: have to take a long, hard look at how this 354 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: roster was constructed and be honest, because whoever takes over, 355 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be an offensive mine. All the resources have 356 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: to go to the offense, all the everything has to 357 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: go to the offenside of the ball to give the 358 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: young quarterback a chance. And we saw that with a 359 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: veteran in Josper Council. But why you might see a 360 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: change in the coaching side, though, is to me, is 361 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: not even the inept offense. Is the fact you have 362 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: a defensive minded hip coach with some personnel on defense 363 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: and then you gave up forty one points in Matt Barkley, 364 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean to the Buffalo Bill can't do that, more 365 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: like you can't happen. All right, let's get to the 366 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: next takeaway here, Uh Thank goodness because the Chiefs and 367 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: the Rams were able to avoid upsets to set up 368 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: a huge game next week. Five wide per Russell Wilson, 369 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: he's alone in the shotgun. Here comes the coliseum crowds. 370 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: Can the Rams defense get off the field? Florida and 371 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: rush Wilson feeling the heat strip sack bow down at 372 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: the still looks at the Rams at the ten recovered 373 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: by the Ramie Foller Jr. You heard it right there. 374 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: That was the Rams game. They pull one out against 375 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in a tight game, and the Chiefs references 376 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: a minute ago the Cardinals and the Chiefs a closer 377 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: game than the score would indicate. The fourteen the Cardinals 378 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: hung around for a long time. Uh. Selfishly, I'm glad 379 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: they both won because it sets up a huge showdown, 380 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: the game of the year in Mexico City this coming 381 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: Monday night, Chiefs and Rams. I cannot wait for that one. Buck. No, 382 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great matchup. But but I think 383 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: there's some concerns, um that I have for the Rams, 384 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: And the main concern that I have I worry about 385 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: their I worry about their defense. Um. Before I was 386 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: just worried about the past defense. But I think what 387 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: we're seeing back to bad games at Seattle, Seahawks have 388 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: been able to do whatever they want to do in 389 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: the run game. They've been able to be out physical 390 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: um at the point they've been able to out physical 391 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: them at the point of attack. They've been able to 392 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: do whatever it is they want to do when it 393 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: comes to grinding it out. And I think what teams 394 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: are going to do. They're gonna look at the tape 395 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be like, hey, that is the way 396 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: that you attack the Rams. You hit him up the cup, 397 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: And yes, you haven't consume you have Aaron Donald. But 398 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: at the second level, when they let alec Okletree go 399 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: in a trade, they really haven't brought back a Marquee linebacker. 400 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: Mark Baron is oversized safety that they've transitioned to linebacker, 401 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: but they don't have a thumper. And so until they're 402 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: able to show teams that they can stop the run, 403 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: they're going to get a heavy dose of inside run 404 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: because it has been a weakness. Between that and then 405 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: being able to take double moves and shots at Marcus Peters, 406 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: the Rams defense has been leaky, far leakier than we expected. 407 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: Going into the season. Other concerned Cooper Cups gone for 408 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: the year with an a c L. That's a big loss. 409 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: For a big loss. They live in eleven personnel. I mean, 410 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: they don't change. They really don't change. I'm watching the 411 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: game and I'm like, I mean, they never substitute like 412 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: they are an eleven personnel. They do everything out of 413 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: their eleven personnel sets. Um, it's it's a transition. They 414 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: do a great job of developing young receiver. Someone will 415 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: step up. Josh Reynolds has made some place for them. 416 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: They have some other guys that are being able to 417 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: kind of go in and make plays, But Cooper cub 418 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: was really a very very key piece to what they 419 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: were able to do. He was the intermediate route runner, 420 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: did a lot of the dirty work. They even got 421 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: him involved in some of the jet sweep fly sweep 422 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: stuff that they do. So yeah, it's a bit of 423 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: a loss for them, but I would say they're offensive talent. 424 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: They have enough offense time to make up for it. 425 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: I am really beginning to worry about this defense and 426 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: the clock is ticking. They have to get this all 427 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: because they will continue to see these teams attacked them 428 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: with the run game until they are able to consistently style. Well, 429 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna see a big time offense, uh coming forward 430 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: here with the Kansas City Chiefs and this Chief's team. Look, 431 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: this game was close. It was competitive for a while, 432 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: and I think one of the reasons Arizona is able 433 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: to control the ball and early on this game, I 434 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: think right after their first score, they tried on side kick. 435 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here going why not why not your 436 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: Arizona you got two wins, your two and six coming 437 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: into that game against the Chiefs team that's get moving 438 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: the ball up down the field against everybody they play. 439 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm wonder when somebody's gonna fully commit to it, buck 440 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, in order to beat the Chiefs, 441 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: we gotta steal possession or two. And we say it 442 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: all the times, steal possession, to play red zone defense, 443 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: holding the three. Yep, they're gonna move the ball between 444 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: the twenties darn near every possession. Yes, So why not 445 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: why not on site kick two or three times every 446 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: time you score and see if if you get one 447 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: or two of them, you steal possession. Then guess what, guys, 448 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: we gotta buckle down, play red zone defensive hold the three. Yeah, 449 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: that's a win against this offense. I think it isn't win, 450 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: and I think they did a good job of slowing 451 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: them down. I think the other thing, and speaking to 452 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals directly, this is how I thought the Cardinals 453 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: would play when they named Josh Rosen the starter, I 454 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: thought it would be a lot of David Johnson. When 455 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: you look at David Johnson, David Johnson had twenty eight touches, 456 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: He had almost two hundred scrimmage yards rushing, eighty five receiving. 457 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: This is what we expected. He had nine targets in 458 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: the passing game. This is what we expected from him. 459 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: Lafers Gerald had fifty yards. He he passed uh TiO 460 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: to become the second all time leading receiver in terms 461 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: of receiving yards. And so I thought the Cardinals would 462 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: play more like this byan left which is doing a 463 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: really good job. Josh Rosen is going to make those 464 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: mistakes that we saw had two interceptions. But for the Chiefs, uh, 465 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: this is the kind of game that they have to expect. 466 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: Teams are going to play what I call Wisconsin basketball 467 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: against him. They can play keep away the corners. They're 468 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna dribble it out and they're gonna see if they 469 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: can kind of get them into the fourth court and 470 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: see if they can still win. They were able to 471 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: get away with a win this time, but they know 472 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: that they're gonna see the strategy more times. Interesting thing, 473 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes sacked five times. The Cardinals got this game, 474 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: and watching that that would be what would edge The 475 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 1: edge is really soft. Chandler Jones had his way with 476 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: Eric Fisher. They were leaving the edges exposed. Eric Fisher 477 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: can't guard to speed, he can't slow down to speed 478 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: rusher off the edge, which which I know we've got it. 479 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: There's a huge game coming up we're talking about with 480 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Chiefs. But fast forward even further 481 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: into the future. You know the team of the second 482 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: best record. We'll get to him here a little bit. 483 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: It's Chargers. Oh yeah, and they have the Chiefs have 484 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: been able to distance themselves from them inside that division 485 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: and you get Joey Bosa back and Sauce, and then 486 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: that is why the Charges could kind of back door 487 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: into the type vision because their best pass rusher is 488 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: coming late. He's gonna be fresh, he's gonna be ready. 489 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: To he email of an ingram. They're learning how to 490 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: play without them. When they get them, they can reincorporate them. 491 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: And because Eric fishing, those tackles aren't the best pass protectives, 492 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: that could be an issue for the chiefs. All right, 493 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: before we get to the next takeaway, let's handle some 494 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: business here.

If 515 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: I'm a Chicago Bears fan, I'm excited because Mitchell Drabinsky 516 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: is finally playing like a franchise quarterback. All these targetles 517 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: are playing great in the NFL. Man, I can we 518 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: get the team, the college team to play well? Hey man, 519 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: it's basketball season. He's not even worried about that. We're 520 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: basketball season. We brought on a dukey last week. It's basketball. 521 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: But in thinking about Mr Drobiski, like, this is what 522 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: we thought, Um, you're hoping that he would turn out 523 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: to be this kind of player when you take him 524 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: number two. Overall, Matt Naggy has really unlocked his potential. 525 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: Talking to a guy having a three hundred yard game, 526 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and we're seeing the full array of skills 527 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: that he brings to the quarterback position, not only as 528 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: a could pass it, but his ability to make plays 529 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: on the room. We saw a quarterback draw for a touchdown. 530 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: And so when you're looking at this team, you're saying, Okay, maybe, 531 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: just maybe this team will be able to win and 532 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: still be able to work around the quarterback. Hats off 533 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: to mc naggie, Matt and Naggi has found a way 534 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: to get some production out of a quarterback who is 535 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: still trying to find his windows. Have you seen the 536 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: new the Jumanji movie? Yeah? Yeah, you know in that 537 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: movie that they have the stone and you need to 538 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: put the stone in the Jaguars like face to get 539 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: everything to all the problems in the world to be solved. 540 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: That was like Matt Naggy. They needed to get that 541 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: Matt Nay had to get that stone. Once they got 542 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: Matt Nagie, he was the stone that went into the 543 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: to the statue there and that that just made everything better. 544 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: That's what he's done. You unlocked. That's exactly the image 545 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: of what happened. They did a nice job in the 546 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: off season. Ryan paces there's a lot of credit for 547 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: getting some weapons around match Robinsky. So we say it 548 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: all the time, right, we say about protection playmakers and 549 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: uh and what was the other one play caller? So 550 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: you got the play caller, you got the playmakers the 551 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: protection surprise really good. I think the sum is greater 552 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: than individual parts when you look at their offensive line. 553 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: But they've done a nice job. And then when you 554 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: watch that tape buck the I wrote down row released 555 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: by Robinson because at the line of scrimmage his releases 556 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: were nasty. He has some nice releases, Dame. They went 557 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: an empty formation, they put him on the backs. I 558 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: let him work in the good at his way with 559 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: him in the slot. You have to like that. Um. 560 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: I like what the Chicago Bears are doing. I like 561 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: how they're trying to get their young quarterback going. Hats 562 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: off to the Bears. They're they're looking good and defensively, 563 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: Khalil Matt came back and he has really given I 564 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: will say this about Clil mac though, because I feel 565 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: bad for offensive line when this happens. Look, nine times 566 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: out of ten, you're never gonna see an NFL offensive 567 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: lineman just get thrown to the ground unless something happened. 568 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: So when I went back and watched that that play 569 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: that was all over Twitter from one angle of of 570 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 1: uh Decker getting just chucked to the ground. When you 571 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: go back and watch it, get stepped on his foot 572 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: got stepped on by his guard, so it looks so 573 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: bad for him. You feel bad for him, and then 574 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: you watch the tape you're like, Okay, that makes a 575 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: little more sense because Khalil Mack threw him to the 576 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: ground like a rag. But he got stepped on. He 577 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: got stepped on, so that wasn't it wasn't on him, 578 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: but it was nasty. And the other one was the 579 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: other The other sack he had was big time as well. 580 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: They went one on. They left him Rick Wagner one 581 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: on one with him on the right side. I love 582 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: it when the back and the back releases inside like 583 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: he's just a little scan release bro, Like you can't 584 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: give me something like just to nudge something like nothing, nothing, unbelievable. 585 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: So anyways, you don't want to leave Khalil Mack one 586 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: one with your right tackle. I don't care who you are. No, 587 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good plan. I think you 588 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: have to have a better way to protect him. And 589 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: man Detroit lines a little bit of a disappointment. Not good. 590 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: All right, Let's uh, let's get to the next takeaway 591 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: camp and they'll bring the house Rivers throws to Gordon 592 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: on the strain one man a miss, and of course 593 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: he makes him his forty forty five field fifty forty 594 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: no one in front of him, flash to the finish line. 595 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: Much stop Chargers sixties six yards to pay dirt me God, 596 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: there's money Matt money Smith on the call. There is 597 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: there for that game and Buck I came away from 598 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: that game. First of all, the Charges we've talked about 599 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: them are in great shape here going forward to challenge 600 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City. They've got a couple home games coming up 601 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: after a very long road trip. But my biggest takeaway, 602 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: honestly from this game was not Charge or related. It 603 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: was radar related. There zero playmakers on this team, Bucky zero. 604 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean they have some playmakers because I see some 605 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: guys making play, make plays. Cooper. I saw Mark Cooper 606 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: make plays on Sunday night. There's I mean, I'm sitting 607 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: there watching. Okay, if you're trying to your gus, Bradley, 608 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: what do we worry about here? And it's like, Okay, 609 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: cook decent tight end, he's athletic. That's that's the only 610 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: guy that can win. That's the only guy on their 611 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: team that can win one on one? Is it nothing? 612 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: And even like the strength of the team, right, Okay, 613 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: they don't have What do you build around here? What 614 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: are the pieces they are gonna be a part of 615 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: the next group of guys that come in. I look 616 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: at and say, okay, rodn Hudson is one of the 617 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: best centers in the NFL, which he's outstanding. And the 618 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: other thing you looked at and say, well, I got 619 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 1: two high paid guards there, An Assembly and Gabe Jackson. 620 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: They were terrible. You know that sack that you the 621 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: sack that Melvin Ingram had, the strip sack was on 622 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: Assembly inside. Put him on the guard, spin move sack 623 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: for fun, will simply give up another sack in that game, 624 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson's late to pick up a twist against the 625 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: Chennon and Wilson. He comes through and gets a sack. 626 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: Like that's what you're trying to rely on. And they're 627 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: not playing well. It's awful. They're awful football team. It's 628 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: funny because now the conversation has been about Tom Cable. 629 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: Because Tom Cable leaves Seattle, Seattle's offensive line plays better. 630 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: He goes to the Raiders a little worse. Solid now 631 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: becomes worse. So you just kind of wonder and if 632 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm Johnny Gruden. I'm sitting here looking at this and 633 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: I have all these draft picks, and I have all 634 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: this stuff. But what do I do? What do I start? 635 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: The hardest thing to do is to do a complete rebuild. 636 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: We always want to have. Like we talked about the Jets, right, 637 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: the Jets might make some changes. Well, whoever walks in, 638 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: there's gonna happen. Quarterback, They've got a big time defensive 639 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: lineman and Leary Williams. You've got two really good linebackers. 640 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: And Darren Lee and Avery Williamson got saved. Two young 641 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: safety is of one who's a star and jam Like 642 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: I look at this Raiders team, like, wh who are 643 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: the core members are gonna be a part of this rebuild? 644 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't know who they are. I don't know. I 645 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: don't know how you do it. I don't know how. 646 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: You know he's hurt, Miller is not good, and the 647 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: right tackle other rookie not good. No, they've they've missed. 648 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean they've missed, and then they let a lot 649 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: of guys go. And in the last two or three drafts, 650 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't think they have anything remaining. And they've been 651 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: trying to jettison whatever pieces they have remaining. So I 652 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: don't know how you build this. I know John Gruden 653 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: says that the phone is ringing, the flipflone is buzzing, 654 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: everybody wants to come there. Yeah, because what he's going 655 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: to do is what he's always done. That means he's 656 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: gonna sign a lot of old veterans and try and 657 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: make it that way. But that's not a sustainable model. 658 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: You can't win with a bunch of old guys on 659 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: big contracts. Like it's just not a way to necessarily 660 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: win in today's game. It's a weird environment to when 661 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: you go up there, it's like it's like, I mean 662 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: because like, yeah, I mean two years ago. I mean 663 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: two years ago, this team was a team that you 664 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: were excited about. There's a lot of buzz or whatever, 665 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: and I would say this the quarterback clack his ticket, 666 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: it's not good. And that one thing was I'm sitting 667 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: there because I'm wondering, like everybody else, why don't they 668 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field? They don't even try 669 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: and throw the ball down down the field. And then 670 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: you start watching at the end of every play and 671 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, huh, you don't have anybody down the field, 672 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: like they're not even trying to send it. And I 673 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: don't know if that what came first the chicken and 674 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: the egg, is that Derek Carr won't throw vertically, so 675 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: they stop even running guys down the field, or or 676 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: is it that they can't protect so forget it. We're 677 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: just gonna try and keep And I think the bigger 678 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: thing is Derek Carr. We can say what whatever, whatever 679 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: we thought about him, whatever, he's off his confidences, Oh 680 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: there's none, so so here it is when you get 681 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: to the top of his drop, he's on number one. 682 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: If number one is there and it comes out, it's 683 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: pretty and everything works. If number one is not there, 684 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: and you can put this again, is it is it 685 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: him is at the offensive line. If number one is 686 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: not there, he freezes, He paints because and he and 687 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: nine times at ten, he's right, he's gonna getting ready 688 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: get hit. If you don't get at the number one, 689 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get hitting the back. So even sometimes when 690 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: the protection does hold up his if he comes number one, 691 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: it's like he's just kind of freezing. So I don't know, 692 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: they're a mess. They I mean they are a mess. 693 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean major disappointment. And look, I know Mark David said, look, 694 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: blame me for the one in eight or whatever start 695 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: they have, and we will. We were blaming because you 696 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: gave the keys to the kingdom to John Gruten and 697 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: it has not worked out for them. Patriot showing blitz 698 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: they don't. Mariota fires deep left side. He's one for 699 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: Davids in the end zone. He's got it. Titans man 700 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: Marcus mari Yoda has found his way. He is getting 701 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: comfortable and Matt Lafleur's offense and the Tennessee Titans offense 702 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: is beginning to role. Marcus Mariota putting a second solid 703 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: performance back to back week sixteen for four two eight yards, 704 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. But more impressive than the numbers is how 705 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: he's playing. I'm seeing a decisive Marcus Mariota get the 706 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: ball out. He's given the ball to his playmakers. He 707 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: is using his legs when he has to. He's a 708 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: part of a trick play catch a little reverse pass 709 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: down the sideline. They are finally kind of meshing what 710 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: we thought Marcus Mariota was from college to what he 711 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: can be in the pros where he has a little 712 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: bit of the athleticism, a little bit of the running 713 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: mixed with some precise pocket passing. The Tennessee Titans offense 714 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: is solid and then hass off to Mike Rabel defensively 715 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: day get after it. I knew they were a physical 716 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: team having watched him the last couple of weeks. They've 717 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: gotten after, They've knocked people around. But his game playing 718 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: against the pages where they locked them up, played man 719 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: to man, used the Dory Jackson. He was as the 720 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: number one corner all over Josh Gordon, how about this 721 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: I went when I watched this morning, Gordon first of 722 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: all the numbers targeted twelve times, four catches. He was slipping, 723 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: he had drops um just not on the same page. 724 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: But I clipped off three players and will show it 725 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: on the aftermath today. Where you see Brady I mean 726 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: falling off throws. Buck, Hey, look you want to play 727 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: to your forty five. There's some self preservation involved there. 728 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: And this was like some old school Peyton Manning stuff 729 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 1: where you see Peyton get ready to throw, just like 730 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: just fall on the ground. Nobody there, just falling the ground. 731 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: He started seeing he started seeing some ghosts back. He 732 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: got hit a little bit. That's what and that's what 733 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: they know. Man, did you know do you know how 734 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: you would feel if you get hit right now at 735 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: our age? Like right like? No, I wants to get 736 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: hit like that off the steps coming back from Seattle, 737 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: come of getting off the plane and slid a fell 738 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: on my back. I got a bruise on my army. 739 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: Show it all the player busses. They're staring at you 740 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: as as I slipped and boom boom, you get up? 741 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: Are you right? Yeah? I'm okay, Yes, I'm fine. Fine, 742 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: And that's Tom played in the NFL, and no one 743 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: wants to play and get hit that long. And so 744 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: that's why. Surprisingly though, when you have an older player, 745 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: let's compare Tom Brady's play to what the plight is 746 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: of Drew Brees. As you get older, you need more. 747 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: The New Orleans States have surrounded him with that great 748 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: way to put it better running backs, top playmaker, a 749 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: wide receiver. They try to get them tight ends and 750 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: the like. They try to alleviate the pressure. When I 751 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: look at the Patriots, they keep subtracting things. That's not 752 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: typically the way it goes. Playing the wrong games, yeah, 753 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: wrong game. See fourteen carries a hundred forty one yards 754 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: lines up to the left of Dak Prescott in the 755 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: shotgut two receivers to the right, single wide, left Beasley 756 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: in motion. They faked to give to Beasley. Prescott on 757 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: the roll to the right, throws to Ezekiel Elliott. He 758 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: will look get the end zone untouched and the Cowboys 759 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: regained the lead nineteen to go. Now this one look, 760 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: hats off to the Cowboys. I did not think they 761 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: had a chance in this game. The Eagles, coming off 762 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 1: of by Eagles at home, Cowboys reeling. And sure enough, 763 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys came in their established a line of scrimmage 764 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: and they took care of business. But to me, one 765 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: of the takeaways was the Eagles got a find a 766 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: way to come out to a better start. Three points 767 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: in the first half. And this is a team that's 768 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: had had trouble offensively getting cranked up and getting going 769 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: uh in games this year. But man, that that just 770 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: that killed him. Yeah, it killed him. They didn't play well, 771 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: and I think what they're learning, and it's hard. It's 772 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: hard to be the defending champion. You can get everybody's 773 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: best shot. People are gonna get up for you. And 774 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: you also saw a team in Dallas. That was a 775 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: desperate team. Look, they're under the mandate. Everybody's job are 776 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: on the line of quarterback, the head coach, the offense coordinator. 777 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: They've talked about it openly, about the considerations that they 778 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: had for all of those guys in their respective positions, 779 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: So you knew that they were gonna come out fighting. 780 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: The big thing for the Dallas Cowboys it was about players, 781 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: not plays. When I look at the amount of touches, 782 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott had nineteen rushes, six receptions. He was targeted 783 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: seven times, so Mary Cooper targeted ten times, Cole Beasley 784 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: targeted five times. The Dallas Cowboys said, this is a 785 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: video game. We're only going to give the ball to 786 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: the guys that we know can do something with it. 787 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: Everybody else back up. We're going around dak Zeke Beasley 788 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: and Coop. That's it. There. You go, get to get 789 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: the ball to your best to you give yourself the 790 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: best chance to win. No question. That was a big 791 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: win for the Cowboys and uh in a division. Man, 792 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: the Redskins in great shape in that division right now. 793 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, oh Harris goes in motion, lines up 794 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 1: on the slot on the left side pibs. They're running 795 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: back Alex Texas snap looking looking underheat, no place to go, 796 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: looking thens on fires Godskins touchdown, touchdown at us Child 797 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: stocks in in the back of the end. Zode. What 798 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: a play. That was a great laugh there at the 799 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: end of that call. Phenominal great laugh. Hey, Look, all 800 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: like I said is don't sleep on the Skins. Even 801 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: though when you turn on your TV and you're looking 802 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: at the risk and his play, it looks like it's 803 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 1: in the middle of the eighties. It's eighty five. John 804 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: Riggins appears to be playing running back, and then all 805 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: those guys, the Funky Bunch and the Smurfs and all 806 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: that other stuff that was reminiscent of the Skins in 807 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: their heyday. They are playing us out there. Works for them. Defensively, 808 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: they do a great job of keeping the score down. 809 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: They've been able to hold opponents uh to under seventy 810 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: and when they do that. As to winning formula, Adrian 811 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: Peterson didn't have a hundred yard day, but he's giving 812 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: them an identity on offense. Running to football makes it 813 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: a little Alex Smith play action and some occasional plays, 814 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: and that's the way to get it done sixteen to 815 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: three over the Tampa Bay Bucks. Not necessarily flashy, but effective. 816 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: They're sitting at the top of the NFC East, and 817 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna be hard out because defensively, their investment in 818 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: the front line, their investment in UH Alabama is working 819 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: out for them. Test your memory here. Remember the old 820 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: days when people used to care about yards? Remember those days? 821 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: Who's the best defensively? Well, they're only giving up x 822 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: amount of yards game. Who cares Tampa Bay five hundred 823 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: or five yards? Five hundred one yards of offense? Redskins 824 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: only two six. But you scroll down and see this 825 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: number right here, turnovers four for Tampa zero for Washington. Man, 826 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: you win to turn over about it's the easiest way 827 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: to win games. Just by going plus one to turn 828 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: over about it your odds and winning like plus two, 829 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: it goes up to about seventy eight, almost eighty plus three. 830 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: He is ninety. So when you think about that with Washington, Redskins, 831 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: just don't give the ball away, don't give games away. 832 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: You can win more than you lose. That's what Whingkins 833 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: have discovered. I'm trying to think of what the equivalent 834 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: in baseball would be five one yards and three points. 835 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: I guess you gave up a lot of his like 836 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: fourteen hits and you get no runs, Like, how do 837 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: you do that leave you for stranded on base? It 838 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: is that they left that they left guys on bass, 839 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: stranded on the third base. That's what Tampa's leaving too 840 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: many runners on. That's they gotta fixts. Got a final 841 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: way to get that guy home. If you got a 842 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 1: bottom over, bottom over, you gotta find a way to 843 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: get him in. So why would Derek Dirk? Why would 844 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: you admit that you took over play call when you 845 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: scored three points? Is that what you're getting that? Why? Why? 846 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Maybe he's one of the 847 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: one of the old school offensive guys. It looks at 848 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: the stats with five yards offense, just make any job, 849 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. Weird weekend, huh, I mean 850 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: unbelievable weekend. All right, well that's that's gonna do it 851 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: for us today.
