We will talk about the Keys today game, 19 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: how the college game is impact in the NFL, particularly 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, and you will release your top. Yeah, 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: a lot to get to. They're also going to have 22 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: our college picks, which uh, everybody looks forward to down. Yeah, 23 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: maybe not so much on my but still in last place, 24 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: we're we're coming hard, we're getting closer, and we're closing 25 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: in on the third place. There with you. First thing 26 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: to do that, let's jump in on this first game here, 27 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: Packers Cowboys. I think it's the game of the week. 28 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: And when you look for the keys to this ball game, 29 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: let's let's start with the with the Green Bay Packers 30 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: here first. What's the key? The key the Packers running game? Men, 31 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: they have to have balance and who is going to 32 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: be the runner. We talked about the injuries that have 33 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: really affected the running back position for the Green Bay 34 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Packers Toime Montgomery dealing with the ribs. Jamal Williams also 35 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: had a knee injury last week. So someone has to 36 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: step up and be able to provide them with a 37 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: little balance in the run game. When you think about 38 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and what they want to do defensively, 39 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the air team that will play some man to man. 40 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: They'll play the Tampa two, but we saw them against 41 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: the Arizona car and let's play a lot of two. 42 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: Man to man has been the nemesis for Aaron Rodgers, 43 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: and the only way to get teams out of that 44 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: is to be able to run the ball effectively. They 45 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: have to do that to allow life to be easy 46 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. And then I flip over to this 47 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Packers defense Buck and I look at the key for 48 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: them and this, I think it's being able to get 49 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: after the back. Everybody's gonna point to the fact you 50 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: need to slow down that run game, and Zeke Elliott 51 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: I think they'll devote a lot of bodies to get 52 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: that done. The challenge is gonna be getting to Dak 53 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: Prescott and not letting him sit back there. They have 54 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: some some slow developing targets, is a nice way of 55 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: putting when you look at what they have on the 56 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: outside with Dez Bryant and look at Jason Witten. Takes 57 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of time for those guys to get 58 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: downfield and make things happen. So if you can get 59 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: pressure on Dak Prescott, get him off the spot while 60 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: also containing him within the pocket, you've got a great 61 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: chance to win. So I think the assets will be 62 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: what's dedicated to slow down Zeke Elliott, I think the 63 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: key is can they get pressure on Doc. Yeah, they 64 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: have to get Dak Prescott out of his office spot 65 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: and getting disrupted his rhythm. The key to the Dallas 66 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: Cowboys attack has been when they've been able to spread 67 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: your out, get the ball to their playmakers and kind 68 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: of dictate the terms. Greenby has to put him in 69 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: longer situations so they can dowall up those exotic pressures 70 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: that don Kaper's prefers, because if you do that, you 71 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: have a good chance to get int the Cowboys off. 72 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: Let's flip it over to the Dallas Cowboys. The key 73 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: for them winning this game, the dascot Boys office line 74 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: has to step up and play. They have to step 75 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: up and play like man we talked about. This is 76 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: a unit. It has four first round picks in their 77 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: starting corps and that doesn't even include Leo Collins, who 78 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: also probably would have been a first round pick if 79 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: not for the character concerns that happened right before draft day. 80 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: And so when you have that much capital invested in 81 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: the front line, they need to dominate the line of scrimmers. 82 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: They need to own the trenches. If they own the trenches, 83 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: then Dallas is able to do what they really like 84 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: to do. It. That's pound the ball with Zeke Elliott, 85 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: throw off, play action with Dak Prescott, and really control 86 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: the game on offense. If they're able to play keep away, 87 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: that means that the offensive line is doing their job 88 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: and they also are keeping their defense on the sideline, 89 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: which places their benefits. No, you're he's a good point there. 90 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: But I look at the defensive side of the ball 91 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and I think this comes down to 92 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: third down because Aaron Rodgers, we know gifted, is he's 93 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: also a rhythm guy. And if you can start getting 94 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: some some easy conversions on third down, get some drives 95 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: around early he gets in that flow, you're gonna not 96 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop him. So I think early on, 97 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: specifically in this game, third down, getting some pressure up 98 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: front with the Cowboys and getting off the field on 99 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: third down, do not let Aaron Rodgers getting that rhythm early. 100 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: If he gets in the of them early, you're in 101 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: big trouble. Yeah, you are in big trouble because we've 102 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: seen when he gets hot, he is unstoppable. And so 103 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, it's really about the the entire team 104 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: playing a certain way. They gotta play complimentary ball. I 105 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: meaning the offense needs to play keep away control of 106 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: the time possession. You want to get it up to 107 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: thirty two thirty three minutes of time possession for your offense, 108 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: keep your defense on the sideline, and then on magic downs, 109 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: the money downs, the defense has to win, all right, Bucky, 110 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: It's let's pick a winner in this ball game. Who 111 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: do you like? Here? We go, go, pack go. I'm 112 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: going with the Green Bay Packers. I think the Green 113 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: Bay Packers find a way to get it done. This 114 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: is a team that's ebmerging, is one of the better 115 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. As long as Aaron Rodger is 116 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: able to throw from a clean pocket, he should have 117 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: his way of working against the Cowboys secondary. And I 118 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a big game for Dak Prescott. 119 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys get this done. I think this 120 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: is a very close game and we might end up 121 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: seeing this game again in the postseason. But I think 122 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Dallas has to have this one. I think they find 123 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: a way to get done. I think Dak Prescott is 124 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: the big difference there. Bucket. And one of the things 125 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: you do each and every week which I enjoy reading, 126 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: is you've got your scouts notebook that you compile, and 127 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: this week in the notebook, you've talked about the ending 128 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: between Saturday football and Sunday football. Yeah, you know it. DJ. 129 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: We've been close to the high school, college and pro 130 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: game for a long time and we really love watching 131 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: the progression of quarterbacks. And if you look at the 132 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: way the game is training in the National Football League, 133 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing more NFL teams take what they're seeing Saturday 134 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: from the college game and put it into play. That 135 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: is why we're seeing these young quarterbacks like a Deshaun 136 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Watson kind of come into the league and kind of 137 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: take it by by storm. It's because these offensive coordinators 138 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: are now beginning to take what they did in college, 139 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: putting in the playbook and allow them to get up 140 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: to speed. When you talk about what they did in 141 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: college and how they're doing a lot of it, and 142 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: let's keep it with Shawn Watson here, get specific, buck, 143 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: what did you see at Clemson and what have they 144 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: taken from Clemson? And Bill O'Brien has now installed with 145 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: this Houston offense a couple of different things. When you 146 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: look at the Saturday game, it's all about tempo. How 147 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: fast can you get in and out and you're not 148 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: even huddling. How fast can we get plays called? And 149 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: then it's about the spread offense and the options that 150 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: come with that. Read option, RPOs, run pass option plays, 151 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: quarterback does on runs. We're seeing all of these things 152 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: available in the pros and they're having success. So the 153 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: more success that Deshaun Watson has executing Clemson's playbook, the 154 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 1: more Bill O'Brien is comfortable using those concepts. You're seeing 155 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: the Houston Texas score a lot of points because basically 156 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: they're Clempson two point out. Now you see a touchdown 157 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: on a speed option. You also see r p O 158 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: for a touchdown quarterback follow. They ran a couple of 159 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: times where you just kind of take a five step 160 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: drop and let the back lead you up into the hole. 161 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: One of the things that I think Deshaun Watson has 162 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: done really really well, which is gonna allow them to 163 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: continue to play this way. He's protecting himself when they're 164 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: calling these design quarterback runs. He's getting what he can get, 165 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: he's getting down, he's not taking a big shot. And 166 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: I think at Clemson the Alabama games took some nasty 167 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: hits outside of those contests, but I thought he did 168 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: a great job of protecting himself and he's doing at 169 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. He is absolutely doing at the NFL level. 170 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: The funny thing about Deshaun Watson, when I watched him 171 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: coming out of college, he kind of reminded me of 172 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: the guy that we're gonna talk about now, Alex Smith. 173 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: I thought their progression would be the same because when 174 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 1: you went to Utah and you looked at Alex Smith, 175 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: you saw him running urban Myers spread offense and really 176 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: running it successfully. I think a lot of people forget 177 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: that his final year at Utah he ran for almost 178 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: seven hundred yards. So that's a lot of production for 179 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: a running for a running quarterback on the edge who 180 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: also had the ability to throw. And when I look 181 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Chiefs, they're continue to expand their 182 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: playbook to allow Alex Smith to be comfortable. For so 183 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: many years we talked about Alex Smith can't get it done. 184 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: As a number one, We're Nancyeing Andy Reid used those concepts, 185 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: shovel passes, options, fly sweeps, all kinds of misdirection and 186 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: things that Alex Smith is very very good when it 187 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: comes to being a ball handler and a deceptive ball handler. 188 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Those things are creating big play opportunities and because of that, 189 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: I believe Alex Smith is having a career year. He's 190 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: very comfortable. One of the things I think of with 191 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: Alex Smith and all the little shovel passes that they 192 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: run in the option game that they use. I had 193 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback coach when I was in college just to 194 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the ball handling stuff. It's almost 195 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: like you're a card dealer. So you're always just gotta 196 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: be able to be able to currently real close to 197 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: be able to distribute the football when you're running the option. 198 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: That's what you do. You're you're you gotta secure the 199 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: ball first of all, which is underrated aspect of running 200 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Gotta be able to secure it because 201 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: if you're loose with it, you're gonna get turnovers. He's 202 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: firm with the ball, and then what's tide to make 203 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: a decision. He's real quick, he's got great hands, and uh, 204 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: that's more difficult, I think when you've watched it on TV, 205 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: Like a little shovel pass, little option a little trickier 206 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: than you think. Yeah, it is trickier than you think. 207 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: But when it's done right, you can see the headaches 208 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: that both teams are causing defenses with all the deception 209 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: the misdirection, it requires the defense to be very discipline 210 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: and sound, and by being disciplined, it really slows him 211 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: down from overly aggressively pursuing the quarterback. Makes life easy 212 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: for the quarterback. I think that's why both of these 213 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks I have in great years. All Right, who do 214 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: we like in this game? Actually, let's go through what 215 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: the key is to this game? Buck, When you look 216 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: at the Chiefs plan of Texas, we talked about these 217 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, they're gonna square off. Both these defenses are 218 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: not gonna be shocked by what they see because they 219 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: see it in practice. With that in mind, what do 220 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: you think the key to the ball game? Miss Chief's 221 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: offensive line has to find a way to handle the 222 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: Houston Texans front line. Uh, The Houston Texans front line 223 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: is outstanding. J J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, when Marklis. They 224 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: have a lot of guys that can come after the 225 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: quarterback and knock them around, and they do a really 226 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: good job of owning the line of scrimmage. So if 227 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: you're the kN City Chiefs, you gotta run right at them. 228 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: You gotta slow, slow it down. You have to be 229 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: able to run the ball. Because if you can run 230 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: the ball and get Kareem Hunt established, then with the 231 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: MR direction stuff with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey and 232 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: then Alex Smith also being a part of that MR 233 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: Direction package, you now begin to generate those big plays 234 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: off gadgetry. It's interesting we're thinking the same thing, just 235 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: with a different team. I think the Texans when I 236 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: look at their key establishing their ground game, because if 237 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: they can establish that ground game, Deshaun Watson has shown 238 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: us off play action RPO game. He's outstanding, But that 239 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: stuff is not as effective if you can't get Lamar 240 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: Miller roll and if you can't get Dante Foreman involved 241 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: in this game early established the line of scrimmage early 242 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: on in this game, again, you're outmatched if you're the 243 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans upfront. kN City is much better on the 244 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: defensive line than you are on the offensive line. So 245 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: you just gotta a little bit I'm talking to three yards. 246 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: Just get something going, do not get stymied right at 247 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Get some momentum going with the 248 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: ground game. Then We'll see Deshaun Watson get out of 249 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: the pocket, will see the boots, the waggles, the r 250 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: p O s, And I think they have a good 251 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: shot in this one. Buck, I think I know where 252 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: you're leaning with what you were saying there about the Chiefs. 253 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: But who do you like in this I'm gonna go 254 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: to Kanstony Chiefs. I'm gonna to Knasa chief I think 255 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: you're the most complete team in the National Football League. 256 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: When you look at all three phases offense, defense, special teams, 257 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: they don't have a glaring weakness. I think that is 258 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: the reason that they get to win. Yeah. Look, I'm 259 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: almost talked into changing my pick here. Just how how 260 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: forceful you were there. I got I've got Houston. I 261 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: think their defensive front can generate some turnovers in this game. 262 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: I think J. J. Watt We're gonna see him show 263 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: up in a big way and people stop worrying about 264 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: his production and realize, Okay, he's gonna be just fine. 265 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: So I like Houston to get this one done. I 266 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: think it'll be an outstanding football game. Now for more picks. 267 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: If you want to know what we think and what 268 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: all the podcast guys think on these shows NFL Pick Hum, 269 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Come on, you gotta watch NFL Pick Him Saturdays at 270 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: nine a m. On NFL Network. Yeah, it's doing well. 271 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people are enjoying the show. It's a 272 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: lot of fun. Bucky myself breaking down some games. We've 273 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: got the around the NFL guys doing it. I was 274 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: I didn't say anything mean right now? Yeah, Damnit Checks 275 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: doing his thing. We've got Cynthia Freeland and Matt money 276 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: Smith game theory and money. Yeah, game theory and Money 277 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: doing their things. New Kid on the Block ko TB. Yeah, anyways, 278 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: I heard that. By the way, I was at a 279 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: college game of the day. I was it Wyoming? Was 280 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: it Wyoming? During warmups? During warmups they played a New 281 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: Kids on the Block song and they still won? How 282 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: about that only in Wyoming? All right, Buck, let's let's 283 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: keep the theme going here with the quarterbacks and talk 284 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: about Saturday's bleeding over into Sundays. Mitchell True Whisky, you're 285 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: North Carolina Tario gonna get his first start for the 286 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. What are you expecting to see? You know? 287 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: Maybe he can still a page from Houston Texans into 288 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: Shaun Wasson and they can use the same playbook because 289 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: when I see Mitchardrubuski there very very similar in terms 290 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: of the way they can go about it. Mitchardrubisky is 291 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: very athletic, He's acturate. He can make all the throws 292 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: that you want to see. He throws with timing and anticipation, 293 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: and but he also gives you the mobility to get 294 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: outside of the potet to do some other things, to 295 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: occasionally run some read option things. And four bears offense 296 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: there really revolves around the running backs, Jordan Howard and 297 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Terry Cohen. They need the quarterback to get into get 298 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: into the mix because now they have a three headed 299 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: monster in the run game that can make life difficult 300 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: for the defense. See Mike Key for Mitchell Robinski being successful. 301 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: He gotta get the ball outside to number eighty three 302 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: if he can get anything. When you have a premier 303 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: weapon like him on the outside, Yeah, you gotta get through. 304 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: You gotta get Willie Galt the ball. Yeah, Willie got 305 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: hold hold one saying I'm waiting to say somewhere here, 306 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: Willie Galt doesn't. He doesn't, he doesn't play anymore. No, Yeah, 307 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: they have no wide receivers. But apparently Willie Galt no 308 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: longer plays for the Chicago Bears. They have no wide receivers, 309 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: So this entire pass game goes through the backs and 310 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: the tight ends, which to me means boots waggles. That's 311 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: where you're gonna see. Mitchell Drobiski r po is. You're 312 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: gonna see some of that empty, empty formation. He needs 313 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: to wear. He needs to wear a fitbit because if 314 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: he wears a fitbit for this game, he's gonna lock 315 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: some serious miles. He is not gonna be hanging out 316 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: in the pocket. That gotta get him on the move 317 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: and get these backs and tight ends involved. You're gonna 318 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: see Trobisky. I'll make a Bowl prediction. You want a 319 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: Bowl prediction, bo, I'm gonna say true Bisky runs the 320 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: ball seven to eight times in this game. I don't 321 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: know if it's good. I don't know if you want 322 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: to run him debt. I'm just making the prediction. We'll 323 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: circle back next week. As we know with my college picks, 324 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm always right, spot on, right all the money. The 325 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: good thing, Mr Bisky is one of these hotshot rookies, 326 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: and you have been taking a close look at the rookies. 327 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: You got a new top twenty five list where you 328 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: have ranked all the rookies through the first quarter this season, 329 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: and let's come take a look. Let's let's dig into that. 330 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's go here. We can start off looking 331 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: at twenty one through twenty five on this list through 332 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: the first quarter. I've got in Joeku the tight end 333 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: for the Browns. Five, Carl Lawson at four I have 334 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: I'll skip over twenty three, twenty two Joe Mixon, and 335 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: twenty one Pat elf Line is doing a night shob 336 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: at center for the Vikings. But the one I want 337 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: to focus on, number twenty three, Kenny Golladay came out 338 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: the gates on fire Buck and look at somebody that 339 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: I graded kind of as a as a fourth fifth rounder. 340 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: I thought he'd be a number four wide receiver, and 341 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: when he's been healthy and targeted on the football field 342 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions, he's proven to be much more 343 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: than that. Plays above the rim, and I think he's 344 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: got a chance to be a premier wide receiver in 345 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: this league. I mean, he has done a great job 346 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: of being a big play artist for them. They've done 347 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: a great job of feating him down to the rid zone. 348 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: He's also comingup with some big plays, particularly on vertical passes. 349 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: He was a star of the preseason and is continued 350 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: to carry on throughout the first quarter to season. All Right, 351 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: let's what do we got next, Let's go on twenty. 352 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: Let's see who you got. I know there's some popular 353 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: people in this list, and when you look at it, 354 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: it's all about the hiper. You see Zach kind of him, 355 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: Can the Beck with Cooper cup Alvid Kamar, Christian McCaffrey. Man, 356 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: those running backs took on. My fancy those should we 357 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: talking about. Oh, I'm gonna go Kamara because we saw 358 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: him really come on last week and I think you're 359 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: gonna see that continue. He's keeping Adrian Peterson on the 360 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: sidelines buck because he's got a unique skill set, the burst. 361 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: We see it here against the Chargers. Once he gets 362 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: to the open field, he's gone. You're not gonna catch him. 363 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: He's a great route runner out of the backfield. You 364 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: can use him in a lot of different ways, and 365 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see his role continue to grow now. 366 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: Sean Payton's offense has always had a spot for this 367 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: type of player, going back to Reggie Bush, and he 368 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: can be that for this team now. So he's number 369 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: seventeen on the list. I think he's got a chance 370 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: to climb up as we continue onto the season. We 371 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: let's go into the top fifteen and see who makes 372 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: that list. I think I think some some defendish should 373 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: be up there. Here we go Evan Ingram at fifteen, 374 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: t J White at fourteen, Josh Jones who's playing a 375 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: hybrid role for the Green Bay Packers, Jonathan Allen. But 376 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: the guy number eleven, Solomon Thomas. What do you see 377 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: from Solomon Thomas? Has been fun to watch because he's 378 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: getting better each and every game, and I love the 379 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: fact you can tell he's well coached by our guy 380 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: David Shaw at Stanford. He plays with perfect technique, hands 381 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: are always in tight, He's strong, he plays bigger than 382 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: his size at the point of attack. If you don't 383 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: account for him on the back side or run place, 384 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna make the tackle each and every time. And 385 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: he holds up on the front side as well. Got 386 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: his first sack last week. You're starting to see him 387 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: come on as a pass rusher. So uh, he is 388 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: a great player. He's of those guys talking about the 389 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: high floor and a high ceiling both, so you're not 390 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: very little bust factor with him. He's playing at a 391 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: solid level, and I think he's got a chance of 392 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: an elite player. I think they had the foundation of 393 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: an elite defense when you look at their front line 394 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: and the pieces that they've assembled from Armstead, Thomas de Forrest, Buckner, 395 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: when they get Rory Farster Foster back, that front seven 396 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: is as good as anybody's that you will find. And 397 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: so I like what San Francisco is doing. I like 398 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: what your trending. Let's go into the top ten. All right, 399 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: we got here. By the way, did you go Rory 400 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: or Ruben Foster? Is that his nickname? That's that's his handle, 401 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: that's his handle on Twitter, Rory Foster. I thought you 402 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: were getting golfers in your football players ferrari as in 403 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: ferrari Okay, we're good. We got top ten. Marshawn Lattimore 404 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: to Davis White, Leonard for Nette, Tarik Coin up there 405 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: to love is great. Look Clary Davis Si, let's talk. 406 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about him. What we got about him? We 407 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: get too because this is the top ten, we can 408 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: talk about two of these guys. Let's let's go first 409 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: here at number nine. Davis White. Um a lot of 410 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: corners in this draft. He was you remember the Bills 411 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: traded down, got a pick for next year, a first 412 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: round pick, and still ended up with your Davis White. 413 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: He's been outstanding. We knew he was tough. He could 414 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: play some nickel, could play outside, could play safety even 415 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: if you wanted to him. He's got twenty tackles already 416 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: this year. He's got an interception, he's got a touchdown. 417 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: So he's a physical player. I love that about him. 418 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: Always around the football and with some corners, like you 419 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: give up against the run, you cover, Okay, we get 420 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: with it. This dude plays the run, can play the past. 421 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: He's a complete player. He's solid, He's a blue chip player. 422 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: He has slid through and through. He's done a great 423 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: job stepping into the starting lineup in this Bill's defense. 424 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott Leslie Fraser. They really simplified things. They want 425 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: guys to play fast, play loose, and free. They are 426 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: doing that. It's one of the reasons why the defense 427 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: ranks number one and points allowed to Davis White is 428 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: playing outstanding on the corner in their role and Buck 429 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: we have to do it each in every episode, we 430 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: have to talk about treat Cohen. I mean, you're obligated. High. 431 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: I was excited because he had that nickname of the 432 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: human joystick at college. I tried to give him a 433 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: new nickname of chicken salad because he is able to 434 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: make chicken salad out of the other stuff. And I 435 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: read an article last week that said he preferred that 436 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: nickname over the human joystick. So he's he's a move 437 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: the sticks listener apparently, which is what I love about 438 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: Trek Cohen. But look, Buck, he's he's an outstanding player 439 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: in the passing game screen draw back. When you get 440 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: him in space, one man is not going to get 441 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: him on the ground. He's just too quick, he's too explosive. 442 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: You better bring a buddy. I mean, he's everything that 443 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: you want in that hybrid role. He's a guy that 444 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: can run it. He's very effective working on the edge 445 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: of the star make you miss ability. But then in 446 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: the passing game, outstanding out runners, soft hands, he's dependable. 447 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: He might be their most explosive offensive weapon. And that's 448 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: saying a lot for a guy that is a rookie 449 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: that is coming in three. Coin has been very very impressive. Well, 450 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: we've been kind of clumping these guys together in five 451 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: s here, but now we get to the top five, 452 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: top five. Put on your radio voice. Let's slow it down, 453 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: slow down, Let's slow down. Let's go one by one. 454 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: Hair here we go, Malik Hooker at number five. MALIEK 455 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: Cooker comes in at number five. Who's been outstanding this year. 456 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: He's got this NBR. Now all of a sudden, what's 457 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: going on. We're just slowing it down down there, that's 458 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: what we're doing. We got we can see the top 459 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: of Look, Mallek Cooker, Dalvin Cook, Jamal Adams at three, 460 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson to and Cream Hunt a one. But we're 461 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: gonna go one by one. We're slowing it down, slowing 462 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: it down. And when when you look, first of all, 463 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: Mille Cooker buck the ball skills. The fact he's tied 464 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: to the lead league lead and interceptions is one of 465 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: the least surprising things I've seen. This least surprising is 466 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: funny because when those comparisons were made, the ad read 467 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: people snickered and laugh. We have some eye rolls, but 468 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: you're beginning to see how effective he is in the 469 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: deep middle to medicine. This interception here off the tip 470 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: against the Seattle and then and then the return skills. 471 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: So yes, he still needs to clean up detackling, but 472 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: he has been as good as advertised when it comes 473 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: to producing takeaways. Dalvin Cook I put it number four. Look, 474 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: I I'm super bummed about the c is gonna be 475 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: out for the season, but I do these updates every quarter. 476 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: He will disappear from the list as we go forward. 477 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: But for what he did the first quarter of the season, 478 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: he already established himself one of the best runners in 479 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: the NFL. He belonged to near the top of this list. Absolutely, 480 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: his ability to wiggle in the hole, to stop start, quickness, 481 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: uh to take it into toughness that he displayed. They 482 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: talked about him being a special player when I visited 483 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings in training camp. He's certainly little like 484 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: he was on his way to be one of the 485 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: best at a position alright. Number three on the list 486 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, a guy we both loved coming through the 487 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: process last year who's been an outstanding force player, great angles, 488 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: firm tackler, has been around the football a little bit. 489 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: He's not gonna have the ball production that you saw 490 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: from a Lee Cooker didn't see it in college. I 491 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: don't think we'll see it in the NFL. But he's 492 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: a rock solid player. You know exactly what you're getting 493 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: with Jamal Adams. Absolutely. He is what we call a 494 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: thermostat leader, meaning that the temperature of the room changes 495 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 1: when he walks in. I think it's not a coincidence 496 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: that the Jets have gotten off to a surprise and 497 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: two and to start behind the defense that is better 498 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: than advertised. Look, Jamal Adams is coming. There has been 499 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: the playmaker that they expected. He gives him energy, he's 500 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: a natural leader, and he does a great job of 501 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: holding his teammates accountable. This defense is carrying the Jets 502 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: to the surprising start. I'm with you on that number two. 503 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 1: We don't need to spend much time Shaun Watson. We've 504 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: talked about him plenty already on the show. What he's done, 505 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: especially the last two starts. When you look at what 506 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: he did against New England and almost pulling that game 507 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: out and then just the destruction of the Tennessee Titans. 508 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: He comes in at number two on the list, and 509 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: you can argue in most years he'd be number one. 510 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: But this year, like last year where we had a 511 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: rookie lead the league in rushing, we're right back there again. 512 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: But Kareem Hunt has been outstanding, not just leading the 513 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: league and rushing. I think at this point in time, 514 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: we're a quarter in, he's he's an m VP discussion. 515 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: He has to be an m VP discussion because he's 516 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: been everything for that offense. He's a one man show 517 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: and turns. His ability to run, catch the ball out 518 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: the backfield delivered a big place and to close games out. 519 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: We have seen Kareem Hunt really step his game up 520 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. His ability to assault games away 521 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: with his no nonsense running style has made the kansee 522 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: the Chiefs maybe the favorite in the a f C. 523 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: And I don't know if many of us expected at 524 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: prior to the season more valuable player right now through 525 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: a quarter right now that we're talking about rookies here, 526 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: but would you go with the quarterback Alex Smith that 527 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: would you go with this running back Kreem Hunt. I 528 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: think Kareem Hunt has given them what they needed. I 529 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: believe he's the most valuable player. You think about when 530 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles was at his peak in his front Kareem 531 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: Hunt has basically stepped in and done the same things. 532 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: Is one of the reason why the offense is rolling. Yeah, 533 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: he's he's been outstanding. I think he's very deserving that 534 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: number one spot. You can find the full article here 535 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: where I go through this Top twenty five NFL dot 536 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: Com slash rookie rankings. Um and trust me, I get 537 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: lots of feedback on Twitter when you do.

List are great. Disclaimer. I 540 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: haven't got a chance to study every rookie in there, 541 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: not yet, but I'm gonna continue to expand that list. 542 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: You'll see some new names get tossed in there, and 543 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: this will evolve. It's a fun thing. Look the draft, 544 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: that's my baby. This is just something. This is a hobby. Yeah, 545 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: that's this is a hobby. So it's a lot of fun. 546 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: I appreciate the feedback. Keep it coming. Move the sticks 547 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 1: there on Twitter, all right, Buck, I hate doing it, 548 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: but well you know you love doing it. College picks 549 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: come on, this is a favorite for it. He is 550 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: Eppie stay here? Who does ePIE stay here? We had 551 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: to buy. Maybe we had to buy this week. Yeah, 552 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: I still can't believe we don't beat We should have 553 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: beat wake Force. We get a feel goal blocked. We 554 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: lose Wake Force. Wake Force gives Florida State all they 555 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: can handle. Should would oh man? So bad? All right, 556 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: let's let's look at the standings here of where we're 557 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: at on these and the only reason we have these 558 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: boards because the guys behind the glass they like to 559 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: kind of show off, right, Yeah they do. Maybe Kent 560 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: and Sully both ten and one. There's no there's no 561 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: reason to talk about last week, so we wanted the 562 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: next week. They had big weeks. I had a nine 563 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: and two weeks which I'm pretty darn proud of that 564 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: put me within a game of you of a third 565 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: place there. But Kent solely in first place six games back, 566 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: Sully right behind him, and then a little bit of 567 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: a gap between them and us. But we're charging hard 568 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: this week. I think I think Kent's kind of going 569 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: crazy this week, taking some underdogs we'll see here in 570 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: a second, feeling himself. Think he's filling himself. Catch him 571 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: slipping this week? Yeah, he's which means there's probably a 572 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: bunch upsets coming and he's gonna look really smart and 573 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna look really dumb. Here. Uh, let's jump into 574 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: the games though this week. Buck West Virginia TCU. That's 575 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: our two points special um TCU. I mean he's a 576 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: darn good coach. Gary Patterson does a great job. We 577 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: know about their defense, but it's not about that West 578 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: Virginia can scores. This is a tough one where you 579 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: leaning on this. I light a quarterback from West Virginia, 580 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: Will Will, big time player played at Florida transfer Florida 581 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: has not been the same offensively since he left. He 582 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: is coming there and really giving him a spark, nice 583 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: arc and make all the throws. But I'm going with 584 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: the other quarterback with a thrill, trill, trill, that's true 585 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: and real. That's Kenny Hill. Okay, I'm I'm with you. 586 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if k Yeah k trill versus Will 587 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: got trill over Will. I'm with you on that. I'm 588 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: gonna go TCU as well. Looks like the guys behind 589 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: the glass agree with us. It's a clean sweep for 590 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: TCU in the two point game. All right, Louisville n 591 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: C State, this is a thirsty Thursday game here, I'm 592 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: excited about this one. NC State with their defensive line 593 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: and what they bring to the table. Bradley Chubb is 594 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: a stud going up against Lamar Jackson and Louisville offensive line, 595 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: but personally, I think has no chance of blocking NC State. 596 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of whether or not Lamar Jackson 597 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: be superman. I think Lamar Jackson is gonna be superman. 598 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: I think he will begin to reignite the conversation about 599 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: his ability to maybe win the Heisman Trophy. And I 600 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: know that they don't have a lot in front of him, 601 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: but he's a spectacular playmaker. And anytime you put NC 602 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: State on my list, I'm going to op. I'm going Louisville. 603 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson goes big. Sully is with you on Louisville. 604 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: I'm with you on Louisville. Kent is the lone wolf 605 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: on NC State and the fact that it's at NC State, 606 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm tempted to Oh god, I was templed tempted to 607 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: switch to NC State. Is it too late to switch? Uh? No, 608 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: you could switch it, last minute switch. I'm going NC State. 609 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: Can you're no longer retract the lone wolf? No? Longer. 610 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm switching right now. I'm going to just let's just 611 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: start an air horn. There we go. Yeah, yeah, this 612 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: is a lot. I haven't done that yet, but I'm 613 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: feeling NC State on this. When I like that defensive line, 614 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: get after him. In fact, it's at NC State Thursday 615 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: night game. Buck, Come on, you're never gonna pick him. 616 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: What if we had what if next week we had 617 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: NC State Worth North Carolina Anti? I think at the 618 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: amore maybe coming back walk us through that? All right? 619 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: I love that about you. All right, this is a 620 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: huge one. Reggie, by the way, we ran in Reggie 621 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: Way in the hallway the other day. He's already gotta 622 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: have it. He knows this is a big one. Miami 623 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: Florida State. Uh in this game, Buck, I just studied 624 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: Mark Walton. I showed you some some clips of him. 625 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: He's nice for he's a good running back. In Derwin 626 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: James hasn't had a huge year, maybe that we would 627 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: have expected, but everybody acknowledges what type of player he is. 628 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: Miami at Florida State, Florida State drops this game, they'd 629 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: be one in three, maybe one in three. You know what, 630 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna need that. Uh, I think I'm 631 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: gonna need an air horn because oh you gonna reverse. 632 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: I think I think its switch it up because I 633 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: just I just revers. What about some breaks can we get? 634 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: We need to get like heard, let's get that because 635 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: coming in, like I understand Francois was the loss of 636 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: Francois really hurt him. But like, look, Florida State, they 637 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: got dudes, they have to be more than that. I 638 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: know they didn't. They stumbled a little bit against wake Forest, 639 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: but Miami. Has Miami played anybody yet? Hasn't you played anybody? 640 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: Do we know too? Duke? Yeah, we just wanted how 641 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: North Carolina do against Duke? Oh no, we're not good. Okay, 642 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: I'm just asking. We're not We're not good though. You 643 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: know what, you know what, he's going back, Tomahawk, Florida State. 644 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: We're coming back, so back. So not only that's that's 645 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: a double, that's an airhorn for changing your pick and 646 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: alone wolf and alone wolf back to back. You forgot 647 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: the airhorns. So I did the an already I want 648 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: to be and there it is. I gotta we got 649 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: a wolf that likes the party. There we go, all right, 650 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: So I gotta cross Bucky out from Miami and put 651 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: this is off the rails today. Michigan State Michigan quick 652 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: side story. I'm at my niece's. It was either a 653 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: baby shower or first birthday party.

LJ. Scott in that ground game 676 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: from Michigan State, can they get rolling against a really 677 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: impressive Michigan defense? Buck, what do you think? Oh, this 678 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: is tough. It's really a tough one because the robbery game. LJ. 679 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: Scott is a is a moster. I like the way 680 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: rons you're not picking Michigan State. I mean, I'm just 681 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: saying I like Sparty Go Green, Go White, like they 682 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: have nice chance, but you're not picking Michigan State. Are 683 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: you switching again? Are you gonna? Are you switching and 684 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: you're doing another I'm not. I'm not. I'm not because 685 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: the paper says Michigan right now on the list. We 686 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: would have to do air horn Wolf again. If you're 687 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: doing this thing, I'm not. I'm not switching. Alright, alright, 688 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: we all go to Michigan. I think it's at Michigan 689 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: they need to have a four and oh, number seven 690 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: of the country. They find a way to get it done. 691 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: All right, Stanford at Utah, this I think this might 692 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: be the most competitive game. It's gonna be the most 693 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: physical game of the week. To quest Stanford and Utah. 694 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: Stanfords three and two. They dropped this game, they'd be 695 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: three and three. U tak on the road, you talk quietly, 696 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: four and oh number twenty in the country. I like 697 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: what they've got with Tyler Hunley. They got a quarterback 698 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: to come run around, make some plays, got an experienced 699 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: quarterback coming back and they said, yeah, we go ahead 700 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: and the switch. So Buck, what are you thinking here? 701 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand for him. Bryce Love, Oh that's just played, 702 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: says he has a thousand yards in a month. He's 703 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: a thousand yards. No one talks about him. He should 704 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: be like one of the front. What do you mean? 705 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: He's like an every Heisman list, every jam and Baker 706 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: and talk about and why Bucky's but here's this is 707 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: a ride in the coat tails at the house. Stay 708 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: with Buck. He's like Aaron Rodgers, Like it would be 709 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: like you would be like Aaron Rodgers. Somebody I disrespected. 710 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: Nobody respect No, everybody says you're great. Nobody's disrespecting. You're disrespected. 711 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: Nobody's disrespecting. All right, So you're going Stanford. I'm look, 712 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: I think U tak Kyle Whittingham at home. Stanford wins 713 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: on intimidation and physicality a lot of times. Yeah, Utah, 714 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: it will stare them right in the face. They have 715 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: no fear of that football team. I think Utah gets 716 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: it done at Sackle is tough place to play, no question. 717 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: Sully is with me on. That can't feel good about that. 718 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: Since A Kent is with you on, you must be 719 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: a winner on that one. All right, Okay, we'll split 720 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: on that. We'll see what happens. So I like, I 721 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: like you take at home this?
