1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to this Move the six Monday. Here.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: I am Brett Lewis and I am not alone. Hello, friends,

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: are former NFL scouts are here. Lead draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah,

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. Guys. I think first time we've all been

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: in the same room since Senior Bowl and mobile like January. Yeah,

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: I think that. I think that's accurate. I feel like

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: we've been in a time machine here. But it's nice

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: to be back together. It is nice to be back

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: in person because we've done a virtual thing for a

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: long time. It's good to be back and welcome to

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: the new Digs Here. It's just me here last time.

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: We're happy to help you, welcome you to you know,

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: let's get this thing started. You know, we go through

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: some of our favorite takeaways from the Sunday that was

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: here on these Monday Move the Sticks. That's what we

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: do with our Big three now on Mondays, and we're

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna start with Sunday Night. Lamar Jackson overcoming to first

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: half interceptions to lead the Baltimore Ravens to a win

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football is first career win against Patrick

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs had a late Clyde Edwards Hilaire

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: fumble in field goal range for were the Chiefs and

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: then a gutsy Ravens fourth down conversion that's sealed the

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: thirty six thirty five Baltimore win. I feel good to

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: get that monk out five back. Um, it just feel good.

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta move on to be chatting on

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: you know we win the Super Bowl. Yeah, we's just

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: one game. We just gotta keep standing focus. Well, look,

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: you'd love to see that from Lamar overcoming you know,

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: a rough start to the game and those you know,

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: those picks. Obviously one of them returned back for a

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: touchdown from Tyron Matthew and you're like, oh boy, here

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: we go with Lamar. But he was able to essentially

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: put the team on his back. Yeah he did. Lamar

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Jackson is is unique and it kind of reminds me

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: of saying that one of my coaches used to say

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: when I was a little big time players made big

37
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: time plays in big games, and that's what Lamar Jackson

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: was able to do. When the Bravens needed him to

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: take his game up a notch, he was able to

40
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: do so. And it's not always pretty. Whenever you're dealing

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson because sometimes the passing is a little erratic.

42
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: But the one thing that we know he can do

43
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: is he can run it like nobody's business. There. You

44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: see over three yards of total offense, did a great

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: job again into the end zone, three total touchdowns. And

46
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: what he did is when they needed him to take

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: his game up in the fourth quarter, he did so.

48
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: And so if I am Eric Dicas, if I'm the

49
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, I feel good about my franchise quarterback. Despite

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the injuries around him, they were winning with Lamar Jackson

51
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: running the football. Run first for sure in this game.

52
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: In the absence of this, some of their best runners.

53
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, his leadership was something that was

54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. And the bond that he has with

55
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh. I mean, you guys all saw it right

56
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. Right at the end they get

57
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the fumble, recover the fumble from Clyde Edward Hilaire, and

58
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: then hardballs like once they get a third down to

59
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: try to run the clock out, didn't get the first

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: He's like, right there, do you want to go for it? Lamar?

61
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: Do you want to go for it? He's like, well,

62
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I would have gone for it even if Lamar said no.

63
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: But obviously Lamar said yes. And Lamar here his sixteenth

64
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: run most important for the Ravens. Inside run gets it done.

65
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: Big guys on and there was no way he was

66
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: letting anyone else touch the ball in that situation. And

67
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: leadership is a out. Trust John Harbot, trust Lamar to

68
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: get it done. Lamar trusting and the guys in front

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: of him to give him away to get through for

70
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: a first down. I thought that was big. Here's Lamar

71
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: on that fourth down conversion. You want to go for it? Hell?

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: Yeah again I said it again, um like two years ago,

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: and he told me to play on my I was

74
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: just coach Coachy, like, you gotta go. I'm like, man,

75
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: I gotta get this first down no matter what. I

76
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: gotta jump doctor a defender and Olan did a great

77
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: job pushing those guys back God first down for the

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: VI Well, DJ one thing. We know when you're playing

79
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, you're gonna have to score some points because

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: your defense is gonna have a hard time containing Patrick Mahomes.

81
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Ravens were able to do that in this game. Yeah,

82
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: I kind of look at this big picture with the

83
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: a f C, And if you're gonna come out of

84
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: the a f C, you're gonna have to go through

85
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. And if you don't have an

86
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: offense that can win this type of a game, you

87
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: have no shot. I don't care how good you are defensively, Buck,

88
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to find yourself and find ways to

89
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: get to that thirty point mark. I think that's what's

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: encouraging about this Ravens team is they can play that

91
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: type of game. They can get in different styles and

92
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: different fights and be successful. Yeah. Look, I thought it

93
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: was really important that they proved to themselves that they

94
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: can win a shootout. So much of the conversation about

95
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens is they don't have enough fire prower

96
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: to be able to get it done. And when you

97
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: dealing with the Kansa the Chiefs, who are going to

98
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: be there at the end, you're going to have to

99
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: dispatch of them because they are a talented team and

100
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: they can put so much pressure. The Baltimore Ravens needed

101
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: to put points on the board so they feel good

102
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: about if they play them again. If we gets into

103
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: a shootout, we have enough weapons to be able to

104
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: do it. I think we also saw the longest jump

105
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: throw completion in NFL history from Lamar Jackson. Longest hank time. Yes, yes,

106
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: it was good word Glamar Jackson and Markey's Brown big

107
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: play in that Ravens win. Let's move on here to

108
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: the game just across the street over here at SO

109
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: five Stadium. And that was the game that you guys

110
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: were at Cowboy or you were at DJ Cowboys and Chargers.

111
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: So here you go. A couple of interceptions for Justin

112
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: Herbern and this one one of the end zone. You

113
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns called back due to penalties that fuel

114
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys victory marked by Chargers miss stakes positives for Dallas.

115
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: How about the emergence of a run game that was

116
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: virtually non existent Week one. Dallas gets the win twenty

117
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen. We talked about all week long, UM one

118
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: to finish, want to finish each drive, wanted to finish

119
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: the game, want to necessarily take it out of the

120
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: defense hand. Obviously, going back to last week, we could

121
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: have finished and we could have finished in the red

122
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: zone with the touchdowns, and we could have finished that

123
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: game last week, UM with the touchdown right now, settling

124
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: four field goals. So we put that on us this

125
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: week and got the chance to go go out there

126
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: and do that with um, what was it three ministers

127
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: store or something like that on the clock, and uh

128
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: so it was just important just to relay that message,

129
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and bring the guys back

130
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: up and focus in on that. And we did, and

131
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: we went in and loses the team. And unfortunately I did,

132
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: I didn't play as well today and we turned the

133
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: ball over and had some penalties. Um, there are a

134
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: lot of things to clean up, and and we didn't

135
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: play the ball we needed to to win today. Well, look,

136
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: the run game obviously a court principal of the Dallas

137
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys philosophy on offense. How did they rediscover in this one? DJ? Well,

138
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Zack Martin reminding everybody how good

139
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: he is. Because when you look at their explosive runs,

140
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the majority of them came right behind Zack Martin. So

141
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: getting him back in the mix I thought was huge.

142
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: I thought they ran with some tempo. I thought they

143
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: kind of tried to tire the Chargers out a little

144
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: bit slow that pass rush down and then they got

145
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: them on their heels, Buck and they're able to capture

146
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: the edge. They're able to capture that corner consistently. Pollard

147
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: was outstanding for you know, for Ezekiel Elliott, all the reputation,

148
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: all the money he's earned. Pollard gives us run game

149
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: a little different look, a little more yeah, a little

150
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: more juice. But I think what you wanted to run

151
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: in the backfield is a little diverse. That you've got

152
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: the power back in the you gotta speedback in to.

153
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: It makes sense, Ceede Lamblet. We just start there as well, right,

154
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: And when you mix all of that together, it makes

155
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: them a very very formable squad. I think this was

156
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: a big win for Dallas because it showed them that

157
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: they can get back to that old school power running style.

158
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: And it was almost fifty fifty. I thought it was

159
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: a huge win for them and Bucky. On the defensive

160
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: side of the ball, what did you see from dan

161
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Quinn's unit? Here? This what I like about dan Quinn

162
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: and what he's done is he's really maximized the talents.

163
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: They moved Michael Parson's to defensive in and Michael Parson

164
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: was a five star defense event in high school. They

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: put him back in a position on Thursday have him

166
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: kind of turned the crank and go, and he had

167
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: to minute success creating pressures. And what I think about this,

168
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: I think about in training camp going up to ox

169
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Nord and watching the Cowboys practice, and every day in

170
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the practice, dan Quinn spending ten minutes with Michael Parsons,

171
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: taken them through some edge rush drills. All of that

172
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: preparation and work paid off because Michael Parsons was able

173
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: to hit the ground running as a defensi event and

174
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: they found that matchup. Storm Norton filling in for Brian

175
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Blaga at right tackle. They matched up sixteen times in

176
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: this game. Parsons had four pressures in a sack, so

177
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: he got the better of that individual matchup. And all said,

178
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Diggs had a big time game in coverage as well.

179
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Those are the two difference makers for the Cowboys. Yeah,

180
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: I think about that. It's Look, it's all about finding

181
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: the matchups, right. I mean, you saw the Cowboys behind

182
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: Zack Martin on the right side really find something they

183
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: love in the run game. And then clearly Dallas on

184
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: defense found you know their Waldough right, they found Storm Norton.

185
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: I would add though in that game and calling that game,

186
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers moved the ball up and down the field.

187
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: They just couldn't finish. And it's the It was the

188
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Another interception and the Red don't even know

189
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: what Keenan Allen fell down on that play force in

190
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Yeah, but still and then

191
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: you had two touchdowns called back to the penalties twelve

192
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: penalties nine nine yards for the Chargers. I mean, that

193
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: was that was a huge piece of this game. Huge

194
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: clean they pour it up. Four. Team is really challenged.

195
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Just need to clean their connecting the first game to

196
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: the second game next week, Chargers go on the road

197
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. Two teams coming off of painful losses.

198
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big one, Yeah, no question. All right,

199
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: let's move on to the third game here of our

200
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: big three, and that's going to be the Steelers and

201
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the a f C West team. The

202
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: Raiders going across the country after a dramatic win on

203
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: Monday night, short week, big road trip, no Josh Jacobs

204
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: and no problem for the Raiders going to Pittsburgh. Shut

205
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: down the Steelers. Derek Carr another terrific Day three, two

206
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns through the air in the twenty

207
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: six to seventeen win. And DJ Derek Carr, I mean,

208
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: has started off this season very hot. And what are

209
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders doing on all fence with Derek Carr that's

210
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: working right now? Well, sometimes you can think of the

211
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: most complex offense and other times you're running plays that

212
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: you ran in grade school. And that's what we saw

213
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: with the Raiders really just stretching the field vertically. And

214
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: I know Al Davis would have loved baby, because you're

215
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: talking about four verts and five verts. Look, you have

216
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: to like that. You have to like the way they

217
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: were able to be able to get it done. I

218
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: like the passing game. I like the things that they

219
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: were doing. Very creative, very aggressive. You like that well,

220
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: and who was doing it, I think is important. Henry

221
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Ruggs five catches over a hundred yards and a touchdown

222
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: that helped seal this game for the Raiders. Deep ball,

223
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: that's what you that's why you made Henry Ruggs the

224
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: first wide receiver drafted two years ago. And then like

225
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: even go back on the defensive side of the ball.

226
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: Second round pick Mike Mayock's first second round pick Trayvon

227
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: Mullen a couple of years ago interception, he said, a

228
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: nice player. Run support here as well. I think it

229
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: had six tackles in this game. So, um, you're finally

230
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: starting to see some of these draft picks that we

231
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: talked about had to have bigger impacts start to show

232
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: up a little bit here about Yeah, we are starting

233
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: to see that. And one of the reasons why we

234
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: begin to see those young guys show ups because on defense,

235
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: because Lee has these guys playing, he hasn't playing because

236
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: he simplified everything. When you think about Gus Bradley's defense

237
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: and Rob may never been the D line coach, It's

238
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: about effort, it's about energy, it's about urgency, and they're

239
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: playing with that. When you take out all the complexities

240
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: of the defense and allow these guys to be the

241
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: athletes that they are, you begin to see guys make plays.

242
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders defense has made plays against two really good teams,

243
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens and then the Pittsburgh Still Is it

244
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: might be time to considered him a real team, and

245
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: I think of look, the best formula National Football League

246
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: is to find a way to create explosive plays offensively

247
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: and find ways to limit explosive plays defensively, and I

248
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: think the Raiders have done a nice job Gus Bradley

249
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: with that defense keeping the ball in front of you

250
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: and whet you mentioned Henry Ruggs. When you pair up

251
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: Rugs and Waller, I dare you find a faster wide

252
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: receiver tight end completely. The only one I can even

253
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: think of is in the division with Denver, where they've

254
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: got Fan who's four, who can fly. So best division

255
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: in the a f C West is gonna be fun.

256
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: One thing to watch for the Steelers is we love

257
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: what Nan g Harris can. I mean, the stiff arm

258
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: on Jonathan Abram unbelievable, right, And he's been really good

259
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: in the past game another five catches over forty yards

260
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: and a touchdown this week, still just ten carries. I

261
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: think what overall he's averaging under four yards something yards

262
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: in the run games. So it's like, yeah, it's great

263
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: to have a you know, marquee back, but I got

264
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: to get the guys up front moving, you know, in

265
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: uh in synchronized up there to kind of create some

266
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: like Thomas that's a really good development because he's kind

267
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: of been off the radars goes back over the Vegas

268
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Raiders and makes big plays. Dolphins were in trouble from

269

Speaker 1: the jump against Buffalo, especially after two A Tongue of

Speaker 1: on for two in relief, unable to lead the Fins

275
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,160

280
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: had his second career past attempt intercepted by Jalen Ramsey

281

Speaker 1: to end the Colts best shot at a comeback and

282

286
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: but also found Brandon Cooks for his first career touchdown

287
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: in the loss to the Browns in Cleveland. And starting

288
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: right there with the Houston Texans here, guys, Reht Lewis,

289
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks back here with you from our

290
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: new studios here in l A. And for the Texans

291
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: with the Shawn Watson being inactive, not practicing once the

292
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: season is started here, they're committed to a fifty two

293
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: man roster essentially. But now I asked James Palmer this

294
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: question on the NFL in Side Report podcast this past week.

295
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: What happens if Tyrod Taylor gets hurt? Like, is there

296
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: a shot you're gonna ask to Shawn Watson to be

297
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: a backup? I don't see it to me. You're right,

298
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: you know you're going from two maybe, but no, I

299
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: mean this is not it's not we're down on Deshaun

300
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: Watson and then we kind of go through the list

301
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: and then it's his turn. It's an in or out proposition,

302
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: and right now he's out like he is not part

303
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: of their plans. Do you mind as well if you're

304
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: a coach pretend like he does not exist. That is

305
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: not an option. Because bucket the only thing that would

306
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough situation, but you want to

307
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: make something awkward is if you now were to go

308
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to Watson, because that would be immediately What the heck

309
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: have we been waiting for it? You're either okay with

310
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: him playing for your team or you're not okay. It

311
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's hurt in front of him. This is

312
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: a very confusing situation for me because if you have

313
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback that you're paying a ton of money too,

314
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: and he is available and he is able to play

315
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: in most cases, is you play him? And I understand

316
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: all the legical remificases and those things. However, they elected

317
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: to keep him and not trade him away, and so

318
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: now they're just not getting anything from him. I believe

319
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: he's obviously the best player at that position. When you

320
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: talked to coaches, did they talk about the special things

321
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that he's able to do? To me, if I'd just

322
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: used the Texas, I play him or I get him

323
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: out the building. But I can't have him occupy on

324
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: a spot and us getting any nothing from it. Yeah,

325
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. If you're saying, you know, not

326
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying this, just trade him

327
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: just just kind of rip the band aid off, move on,

328
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: go in a different direction. You have the chance, this

329
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: is a once in a lifetime chance with this type

330
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: of an asset, to get as big of a return

331
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: as you could possibly hope for. You only get one

332
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: shot at it. So his value is not maximized right

333
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: now with all of these legal things hanging over him.

334
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: Once that is all completed, and in my opinion, once

335
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: the season is over and I know who picks where,

336
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: that's where I can absolutely maximize the trade for Deshaun

337
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: Watson because what they get from that trade is going

338
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: to determine this organization. So while it might be convenient

339
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: to do it now, you can't. You can't do that

340
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and head coach David Cully saying today

341
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson will in fact be inactive for Thursday

342
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: night football even if Tyrod tay There cannot play. So

343
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: Davis Mills, who would be the first man up if

344
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Tyrode can't go, becomes your starter, and then Jeff Driscoll,

345
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: who's on the practice squad, I imagine, would be elevated

346
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: to become the backup quarterback, which means then you have

347
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: a fifty one man roster. Yeah, I mean this is

348
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: mine is mind blowing. And so when you think about

349
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback position being the most important position, the fact

350
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: that they haven't put together a fail safe plan where

351
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: if the Shan Wass is not going to be if

352
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is here, what happens. It's just disappointed because

353
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: you would like to think when you get into that position,

354
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you're able to build your team. You try and dot

355
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: to eyes and cross the teas. And so I'm gonna

356
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: talk to Ian Rappaport today on our new edition of

357
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: the NFL Inside Report. By Okay, I'm at two plugs,

358
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: two plugs coming up, plugs over under four and a

359
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: half there, this podcast synergy here, this is what we're

360
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: doing on on this smooth the six Money, So yeah,

361
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: that's coming out later today. I'm gonna talk to Ian

362
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: on that quarterback situation in Houston. Also in Indianapolis where

363
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz his status is once again up in the air.

364
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: So we're kind of seeing two young quarterbacks maybe get

365
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: their shots here with Davis Mills and with Jacob Eeson.

366
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: If Carson Wentz can't go this week, So what were

367
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: there the profiles on those two quarterbacks coming into the draft,

368
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: and what might we see here when they get in

369
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah. Sure. Davis Mills is really interesting come

370
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: out of Stanford, didn't play a lot of football, not

371
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot of starts. People were surprised he came out.

372
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: But what he was a somebody that was very efficient,

373
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: very accurate. I thought he was extremely tough to be

374
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: able to hang in the pocket at Stanford. Uh made

375
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: some big time throws under dress. The one thing he

376
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: can't really do, or he didn't do at Stanford was

377
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: what you're seeing right here, which was extend plays and

378
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: make things happen. He showed up at the Pro day,

379
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: remember Buck, and he had the knee brakes was gone.

380
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: He moved around much better. So I'm hopeful we're going

381
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: to see a more athletic version of Davis Mills. And

382
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: then when you get to Jacob Eason, this is old

383
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: school pure pocket passer. Huge, I mean, the enormous guy

384
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: with the howitzer, big time arm, to be able to

385
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: push the ball vertically down the field, touch, anticipation, those

386
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: were the knocks on him coming out of college. Knock

387
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: him and typically have a strong on passer like Easan,

388
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: which you want to do is you want to run,

389
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: you want to play, act and you want to push

390
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: the ball, shot plays. If you're going to go through

391
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: all of the stuff that you need to do to

392
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: have it is successful, passible, I want a big return

393
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: on the investment. Jacob Easton gives them the opportunity to

394
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: do that. But what they have to do is everybody

395
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: else around him has to play better. The offensive line,

396
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to run the football. They've gotta

397
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: be able to make plays on the outside. If this

398
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: supporting cast, if they're able to raise their level of performance,

399
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Jacob Easton is able to play and

400
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: just kind of steady to ship. Yeah, that's definitely a

401
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle here for the Colts. But you

402
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: gotta give Jacob Easton a little credit. Wasn't afraid to

403
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: go after Jalen Ramsey on his U started throwing his

404
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: direction on his second past attempt looking for Jack Doyle

405
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: on that corner route. Just overthrew him there a little bit. Look,

406
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: that's a tough situation. You're down three points, game is

407
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: on the line. Your first NFL snaps uh and then

408
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: Eastan and the Colts fall now to oh and two

409
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: after that loss to the l A. Rans are elite

410
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: eight segments focusing on kind of eight different topics under

411
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: one umbrella theme, and the theme today really it's questions.

412
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: So d J, you've got our first question that involves

413
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Yeah. I mean, look, I'm looking at this

414
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Broncos team and I'm wondering is this Broncos team legit?

415
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: And I think absolutely they are. When you look at

416
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: this roster, I will stack this roster up against just

417
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: about anybody. They are loaded with talent. You look at

418
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: the playmakers they have on offense. They've got two backs,

419
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: which Javonte Williams joining Melvin Gordon. You look at the

420
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 1: bevy of receivers that they have. You see no offense

421
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: one of the more athletic tight ends. You flip it

422
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: over to defense. You know what, VIC fan, Joe is

423
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: gonna have a great defensive squad. The scheme is sound.

424
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: He's got pass rushers. Patrick Surtanis stepped up and made

425
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: big plays. Saw him with a pick in the game

426
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: yesterday coming out of Alabama. But Buck, to me, the

427
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: biggest reason why they're legit is because of the guy

428
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: delivering the pill right there and Teddy Bridgewater. They have

429
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: been an efficient quarterback away from being really good, And

430
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: to be honest with that, he's been much better than

431
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: just an efficient quarterback through two weeks. He has absolutely

432
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: been outstanding. When you look at the way he's been

433
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: able to get the ball in and out to the playmakers.

434
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: Nine different receivers had receptions. You love to see that,

435
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: and so I like the Broncos. I like how they're trending.

436
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, before we continue, obviously

437
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: you believe the Broncos are legit because yes, family connection,

438
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: my wife a Colorado, Yes, from Colorado, and big Bronxley.

439
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: You can't see it on the screen, but it says

440
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: Mecklenburg on the back of Rick. But by the way,

441
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean credit to the Broncos defense again for doing

442
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: this these first two weeks, mostly without the services of

443
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb, a reaggravated kind of nagging injury in this game.

444
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: So once they get him back, man, they're gonna be rolling.

445
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: Al Right, Bucky, you've got our second question and answer. Okay,

446
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: So which version of the Saints offense are we going

447
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: to see going forward? My big problem with the Saints

448
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: I just don't know what I'm going to get it.

449
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: Even in the first week, Jameis Weston had five touchdowns

450
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: and the offense looked solid because the defense play likes out.

451
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: But against the Panthers, the Panthers has suffocated the offense.

452
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: We're talking about a team. They only had a hundred

453
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: and twenty eight total yards of offense. That's unacceptable, especially

454
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: from a team that Sean Payton is directed. And I

455
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: understand and there were some COVID issues. You did you

456
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: without maybe seven or eight assistant coaches, but even with

457
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Sean Payton on the sideline, you expect to see more production.

458
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm worried about this offense because back to back weeks

459
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: we haven't seen a lot a big time yard is production. Yeah,

460
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: the yards have not come. The turnover showed up for Jamis,

461
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara virtually non exist at lowest rushing yard total

462
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: in his career. But I mean, look, I'll say this.

463
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: No team has dealt with more adversity through these first

464
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in the Saints preparing for all this

465
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: stuff on the road without a ton of starters in

466
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: this game, including Eric McCoy at center, which kind of

467
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: showed up a little bit. It felt like in this

468
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: game too. All right, I've got a question, uh and

469
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: an answer, I hope question confident. Are the Cardinals now

470
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: the most explosive offense in the NFC? Boy, Kyler Murray

471
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: seems to think so. On another four hundred yard passing performance.

472
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: Had a couple of turnovers in this game that I'm

473
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: sure they love to clean up. But man, he is

474
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: finding all of his weapons. This was a huge play

475
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: to Max Williams there. Found DeAndre Hopkins in the end

476
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: zone early and they went score for score with the Vikings,

477
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: who came out with their tails on fire in this game.

478
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore, second round pick this year out of Purdue,

479
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: has proven as explosive as we look at like at

480
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: Kyler a little zen moment in the end zone right there,

481
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: but Rondale Moore has added to this receiving coreps. You

482
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: get Christian Kirk who was involved in week one two,

483
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: and then you've got another a A A. J. Green finds

484
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: his way into the end zone here. Man, it's kind

485
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: of all starting to come together on offense. Defensive gave

486
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: up a tone of the points, but man, you gotta

487
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: feel good if your cliff Kingsbury's unit right now. Oh,

488
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: you absolutely have to feel good because we're seeing that

489
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: this is a league where you have to score points

490
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: to be able to win, and the one thing the

491
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Cartiners can do is day can score points. You like

492
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: what the receivers are doing on the outside. DeAndre Hopkins

493
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: A J. Green. You talked about Rondale Moore making players,

494
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: so yes they are in the NFC. I mean yeah.

495
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at what Seattle can do,

496
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: you look at the Rams with Stafford, I mean this

497
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: division is gonna nine total touchdowns for the Diners. Got

498
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: some work to do offensively to be able to keep

499
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: pace with some of these explosive teams. We're gonna see

500
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: all right, Bucky coming back to you with the Bucks. Oh,

501
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: it's all about Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Is this

502
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: sustainable for a full season? When I look at this,

503
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. Because Tom Brady defines all the

504
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: notions of father time catching up with him in those things.

505
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: He is on fire. He has the synergy and connection.

506
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: When you watch these guys play, I think what we're

507
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: getting is what we thought we were going to see

508
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: last year. All the weapons on the outside now are

509
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: coming together. So each and every week it's been the

510
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: wheel who's going to hurt you, Antonio Brown, Mike Evans,

511
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, Rock Minkowski. They have too much for most teams.

512
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: That's why this is sustainable because Rock Wronkowski is always

513
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: going to be available for Tom Brady and CrOx never

514
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: had all those other pieces around him or you know,

515
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: he's always been such a great player, but if he

516
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: was always the focal point there in New England and

517
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: now is a defense like he's probably that second third

518
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: guy that you're thinking about as a defensive coordinator because

519
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: of Mike Evans and Godwin. So yeah, I think that

520
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: is sustainable. I want to go back though, back to

521
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: the NFC West talk about the Niners, because you look

522
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: at the injuries that they have stacked up at one position,

523
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: the running back position. So the question I have is

524
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: are you concerned about their run game? It didn't really

525
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: get rolling against the Philadelphia Eagles, And my answers, no,

526
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'll tell you what. It's not because they

527
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: have some running back that's gonna come up from the

528
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: practice squad you've never heard of. It's because Trey Lance

529
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: can add to this running game. Didn't see him in

530
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: this game against Philadelphia. I think I know we saw

531
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: him dabble a little bit with him last week. I

532
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: think he has to be a part of their plan

533
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: going forward. He doesn't need to play thirty snaps buck,

534
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: but you get Trey Lance out there for ten or

535
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: twelve plays, you'll see this running game get juiced up

536
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. And it doesn't necessarily have to be

537
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: him carrying the ball. It's just his presence you gotta

538
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: count for. On Okay, I'm gonna say this. It reminds

539
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: me a little bit of Baltimore. Were worried about the

540
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: Ravens running tack Ty Lance is at Lamar Jackson, But

541
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: the running quarterback creates opportunities. It's a little I don't

542
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see Jimmy Garoppolo with eleven rushing attempts

543
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: um in the future for a couple of those around

544
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Keebi sneaks, but I don't think that's gonna happen. So

545
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: Ja Michael Hasty was injury by Mitchell was in and

546
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: out of the line up there. It just wasn't an

547
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: efficient game through on the ground there. It's all on

548
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: the other on the flip side of that contest, the

549
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, Well, I guess they found out that the

550
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners defense is far superior than the

551
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons defense. So will the tagle's offense of the

552
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: consistent enough to compete in the NFC East. I think no,

553
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: right now is the answer. I guess that could change

554
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: moving forward, but right now I feel like the answer

555
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: is no. Um And look outside of this long completion

556
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: to Quaz Watkins that went for ninety one yards, Look,

557
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: you love that. That's a really nice, well placed ball

558
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: by Jalen Hurts deep in your own end zone. You

559
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: get out of there. But then they aren't able to

560
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: get six points after that. You know, like that kind

561
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: of is is the epitome of what we're saying here.

562
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: With this lack of consistency, felt like the Niners made

563
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: things a little bit more difficult for Jalen Hurts, clouded

564
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: the picture a little bit, had a little bit a

565
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: little bit of difficulty getting past that first read when

566
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't there. And look outside of that ninety one

567
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: yard connection, in another twenty six yard passed he through

568
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: for seventy three yards in this game, game, so they

569
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: found it going much tougher, and Nick Sirianni ad minute

570
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: it didn't call good plays good enough plays in this game.

571
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: They've got to be better. But right now I would

572
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: say they are not consistent enough to compete in the NFCS. Yeah, Morgan,

573
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: since we saw Jayala Hurrish uses legs at eighty yards

574
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: rushing on the ground, but you want to see more

575
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: in the passing game, so they have to work on that.

576
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of consistency, I want to see if the Titans

577
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: offense can be consistent on Tell Jack consistently great because

578
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: they were hot and on fire, I guess the Seattle

579
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks on Sunday, and part of the reasons because the

580
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: weapons that they have available. When I look at this offense,

581
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: it starts with the King King Henry. They're doing his deal.

582
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: You're talking about someone who has ten games with over

583
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty yards two touchdowns. He is able

584
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: to do it. But Julio Jones on the outside also

585
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: being a key contributor hunter of yard game. For Julio Jones,

586
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: you have a J. Brown still being available. So now

587
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: when I look at this office and the weaponry, Todd

588
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: downing the offensive coordinator who only had a second game

589
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: calling plays for the Titans. He has a lot of disposal.

590
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: He just needs to find his rhythm and how to

591
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: keep all the mouse bit. Yeah. I think what we're

592
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: kind of going thro this exercise that's showing us is

593
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: that a lot of these things are gonna be tb

594
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: D because we've seen different versions of the same team

595
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: through two weeks. We're gonna give you one more example

596
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: of that because my next question is is this what

597
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: we can expect of the Buffalo Bills. I mean, this

598
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: is a thirty five nothing thrashing of the Miami Dolphins.

599
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: Is this really who the Bills are? This is what

600
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: we saw last year? And I will say this, this

601
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: Bills team, I think is gonna be even better than

602
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: what we saw last year because of what you're seeing here,

603
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: their ability to heat up the quarterback. They got after

604
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: it upfront. In this game, Greg Russo had two sacks.

605
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: I think that six as a team. Josh Allen wasn't

606
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Superman in this game. He didn't have to

607
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: be and it was a blowout. So not only do

608
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are getting back too, I think

609
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a better version than we even saw

610
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: in so the Dolphins muster just two d and sixteen

611
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: total yards in this game. And the thing though I'm

612
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: encouraged by if I'm the Bills, is while the passing

613
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: game with Josh Allen has kind of struggled to find

614
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: its rhythm from a year ago, it got some some

615
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: better performance on the run game. Devin Singletary forty six

616
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: yard explosive play touchdown to open the scoring for Buffalo,

617
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: Zack Moss into the end zone for a pair of

618
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: scores on the ground that feels like an element of

619
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: their offense last year that we did not see weekend

620
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: in week out. So a couple of thing, a couple

621
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: of good positives for the Bills there as they get

622
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: their first win of the season. Trevor Lawrence again finding

623
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: the going tough here in his second career game, this

624
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, getting picked off twice. So that's five

625
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: interceptions in two games for Lawrence, and offense looked absolutely

626
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: out of sync, just fourteen of thirty three, just over

627
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, thirty seven passer rating, and boys Zack

628
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: Wilson Mama told me there'd be days like this for

629
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback three interceptions in the first half, added another

630
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: in the second half in this to six loss to

631
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Passer rating point two lower than Trevor Lawrence

632
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: thirty seven, So rough a couple of days here, rough

633
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: a couple of games for the first and second overall

634
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: picks in the draft. As for mac Jones, man efficient

635
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: once again twenty two of thirty. Not a ton of production,

636
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: again even less than last week, actually eighty six yards

637
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: through the air, but again operating within the confines of

638
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense, they get a win, capitalizing on those

639
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: turnoverse five to six over the Jets, and because of

640
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: an Andy Dalton knee injury, justin fields making well. Not

641
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: his debut he certainly played in Week one, but the

642
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: most extended action we've seen for him at quarterback was

643
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: picked off here by Logan Wilson and the Bengals completed

644
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: just six of his thirteen passes. Again coming on in

645
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: relief of Dalton, found uh the going tough, but the

646
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Bears are able to hold off the Bengals for the win.

647
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: And well, look, Trevor Zach, you guys are into good company.

648
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: That is a good list. Eight Manning six interceptions in

649
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: his first two NFL games. He's now in the Hall

650
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think he ended up with like Alreadie

651
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: in his rookie year, Matthew Stafford at five picks in

652
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: his first couple of games as well. So look, they

653
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: will be able to figure this thing out. But it

654
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: is time for our rookie report card segment. Here on

655
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: Move the sticks Monday and Bucky, let's start with the

656
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. You're gonna be on Trevor Lawrence

657
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: all season long here for us. What did you see

658
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: here against the Broncos. I'm gonna give him a D

659
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna gi him a D for his efforts

660
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: because he was really all over the place. Trevor Lawrence

661
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: was trying to do too much. And when we're talking

662
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: about trying to do too much, trying to put all

663
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 1: of the responsibilities of playmaking on his shoulders as opposed

664
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: to rely on his teammates to be able to make plays. Now,

665
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: part of that is his teammates haven't been good enough

666
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: for him, and that has really stunted his growth in

667
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: terms of being able to do it. The other thing

668
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: irban Mire said in the post game press that he

669
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: wanted Trevor Lawrence to learn how to play NFL quarterback,

670
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: so they didn't put a lot of Clempson concepts in

671
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: the Clemson playbook in the game plan, and so he

672
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: is trying to learn how to do all NFL stuff

673
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: on the flight against tough defenses. And we're seeing the

674
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: struggles come because try but Lawrence is an unfamiliar territory.

675
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 1: As a result, he is struggling right now. One thing

676
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: it also reminds you is you earned the number one

677
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: pick by being a really bad football team. Is there

678
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: a Is there a solve for this Jaguars offense? Before

679
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: we move on here, how do we make him based

680
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: off what Bucky just said, Because to me, the solve

681
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: as you go back and make him comfortable doing things

682
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: he did in college. You know when you saw that

683
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason, we get a chance to watch it.

684
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: They did some of that stuff. Bobbo screens, bootlegs, play action.

685
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: Now he just played a street drop back game that

686
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: is not his game. And so we'll see how long

687
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: they continue to stay on their path. I worry about

688
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: them losing him in terms of his game and his confidence.

689
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Zach Wilson and look he had

690
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: he had a rough start in Week one, but was

691
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: able to kind of bounce back. But it's hard to

692
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: bounce back from three early first half interceptions. What'd you

693
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: see from the second pick? I like to think of

694
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: myself as a fair greater, not overly negative. We're positive.

695
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how you give anything other than an

696
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: f right do you throw four picks? I mean to me,

697
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: the decision making was a major question mark that positive sign.

698
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: As you do see some flashes. He made a couple

699
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: of throws, he escaped and made some big time throws. Um.

700
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: I know, I guess his velocity readings this week where

701
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: as high as anybody in the NFL. He's got a

702
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: huge arm. There's a lot to work with. But I mean,

703
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: this is this has happened in the NFL before. Where

704
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: you have four interceptions seventy five times since two thousand twelve,

705
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: teams are four and seventy one. So that equates to

706
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: five point three percent chance of winning a football game

707
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: when you turn it over. So that's why you get

708
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: the grade that you get. Um, But again, I'm anxious

709
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: to see this week. Buck coming off of the adversity,

710
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: he faced this week. What do we see from Zack

711
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: Wilson next week? Is going to tell me a lot

712
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: about him? Well, I want to know, because Zack Wilson

713
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: is texting me and he wants to know. Do you

714
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: have office hours, if you can make the great if

715
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: you can come in and talk to you, maybe he

716
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: can get policy. All right, come on, come on in. Uh,

717
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: but they gotta find a way to get the hands

718
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: in the get the ball in the hands of some

719
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: of their playmakers there with They had a couple of

720
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: taps too. There was a couple of draper he did

721
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: one of those one of those interceptions kind of went

722
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: through Corey Davis's hand. Alo's gonna jump in on here,

723
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: it's your great book. Let's go. I'm gonna open up

724
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: my grade book with my red pen and hand out

725
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, who I think we gave it a to

726
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: week one slightly lower this. We didn't think this was

727
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: a bad week for mac Jones, just it wasn't as

728
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: good as week wanting to end up giving him a B.

729
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: And here's what we like about Mac Jones, same things

730
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: we said about him last week, and we said about

731
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: him coming uh, you know into the draft from pre

732
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: snap to snap to execution man as quick and efficient

733
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: as there is, and again operated smooth within the framework

734
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: of the Patriots offense. Had one of these gadget plays,

735
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: which was great. I mean, Josh Mithaniels always pulls out

736
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: one of those uh in a game, but there was

737
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: a particular play on a second down or third down

738
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: in the second quarter right there to Jacoby Myers. You

739
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: see a pre snap, he knows what he's he knows

740
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: what's what he's getting. He sees the coverage, he makes

741
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: some some audibles, let's the receivers know what's going on,

742
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: and then he ideas it and then executes a perfectly

743
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 1: dropped deep ball to Jacoby Myers, and it's like, all right,

744
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: he's putting it all together. I think he struggled with here.

745
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: It was pressure. They really missed Brown at right tackle.

746
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: They had Herron and Durant in their altering to get

747
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: right tackle. He was getting pressure off the right side

748
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: almost immediately throughout this game and kind of struggle. That's

749
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: where some of his errand throws. Win took some snacks

750
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: that maybe he didn't have to hear DJ no doubt,

751
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: and again, though he's playing an efficient brand of football, Patriots,

752
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: it's winning football, right. We do have another rookie. Let's

753
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: get to you about here, because Justin Fields, we saw

754
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: him get some action with the injury to Andy Dalton.

755
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: So when I went back and watched that tape, I

756
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: penciled in a B minus as my grade for Justin Fields.

757
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: And look, one thing, that ball is live. It jumps

758
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: out of his hand. He can really drive the football,

759
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: if not for some drops. I put the exclamation point

760
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: on there because if he has a couple of those

761
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: balls caught, this day would look much better and he

762
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: probably ends up with a higher grade. The negative buck

763
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: is something we talked about a lot and the run

764
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: up to the draft. There's times he just gotta speed

765
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: it up a little bit, holding the ball, taking some sacks,

766
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: just be a little bit more urgent with your decision making. Yeah,

767
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: you wonder if you're playing faster next week if you

768
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: gets an opportunity to start, because now you have an

769
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to build a game playing around what Fields does

770
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: and does really well, and so maybe there would be

771
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: more aggressive with some of the quick underneath throws. But yes,

772
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: he's a solid player. B minus is credible. I'll take

773
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: that no need not. My report cards were littered with

774
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: C pluses of B minuses. Man. Yeah, and look, this

775
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: is not how Bears fans I think we wanted to

776
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: see justin fields. Somebody will say Andy, don't go down

777
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: with an injury, and Matt naggy saying not sure they

778
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: avoided a major injury. Is not the structural damage with

779
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: the a c L the m c ls, They're gonna

780
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: find out what Andy Dalton is going to be available

781
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: for going into this week. But it was kind of

782
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: odd like he wouldn't commit. Afterwards, after the press conference,

783
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: the PR person for the Bears came out and said,

784
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: if healthy Andy Dalton is, so we cleared it all up. Yeah,

785
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: he was worried about divulging who would start because it

786
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: was like a scheme issue. I don't know. I'm gonna Steve.

787
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can give and we can give justin Field

788
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: another grade here. Moving forward, looking at the Panthers defense

789
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: since Matt rule has taken over, you go back to

790
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: game up over points a game. But man, look at

791
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: the strides they are making now through two weeks this year,

792
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: they have cut their total yardage allowed basically in half,

793
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: less than half. On the or more than half on

794
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: the points per game, averaging just over giving up ten

795
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: points a game of terrific work right now on defense,

796
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: field snow defensive coordinator Matt Rule. Really nice kind of

797
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: organizational synergy. It feels like with this Panthers defense who

798
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: famously committed to all defense and that Rules first draft

799
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: as the head coach back in two thousand and twenty,

800
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: and then this year I get J. C. Horne with

801
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: the first pick. DJ, how are you kind of marrying

802
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: the results on defense to what they were going for

803
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: in building the defense? Well, I'm gonna go back in

804
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: time when Matt Rule first got to Baylor. I went

805
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: and spoke to the football team and spent some time

806
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: in his office, and he talked about his vision. He said, Look,

807
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: I've got out recruited a bunch of track athletes. I

808
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: I care about their times. I've got a fast football team.

809
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: We're not a good football team yet, but we're fast,

810
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: and we believe in ourselves as teachers and developers that

811
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to get the best out of

812
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: these guys. But speed was non negotiable, Buck. They were

813
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: going to be fast and they were going to play fast.

814
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: And I think we've seen over a couple of drafts Now,

815
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: this team is fast and explosive, and they are smothering

816
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. They're smothering on

817
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: the defense side of the ball. And DJ you talked

818
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: about it. We had an opportunity to talk to about

819
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: a rule on the Moses six podcast, UH a couple

820
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: of falls ago, and he talked about toughness and that

821
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: was also a non negotiable tactic that he wanted people

822
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: that were tough. He wanted a physical team that was fast.

823
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: And what you're seeing is when you put those two

824
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: elements together, speed with toughness and physicality, you begin to

825
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: get turnovers. You begin to impose your will on opponents.

826
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: And they're doing it. And then the last thing you

827
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: talked about developers coaches that can develop their talent. They're

828
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: developing all these young guys twenty four first and second

829
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: gear players on the active roster. Phil Snow, coming over

830
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: as a former college defensive coordinator, understands how to teas

831
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: those young guys to make it digestible. And they're putting

832
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: it up and putting it play on the grass and

833
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: they play hard. I mean, that's the last thing I

834
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: would The effort is outstanding. Yeah, and we've seen the

835
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: speed all over the place at all three levels, and

836
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: we love what Jeremy Chin doesn mean. How about both

837
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: corners running four three right at low fourth three Dante

838
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: Jackson j C. Horn obviously saw j C. Horn with

839
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: that introduction and has on Reddick one of the best

840
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: free agent acquisitions too. Right coming over from the Cardinals,

841
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: Matt Rules certainly familiar from their time together at Temple.

842
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: They have a clock situation here for the Dallas Cowboys

843
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: late game, trying to get in position for that Greg's

844
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: urline game winning field goal. You had this third and

845
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: three here, trying to figure out exactly what's going on.

846
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: They end up calling the time out at a personnel issue.

847
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is saying that he's never had a clock

848
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: go off the board on me like that was trying

849
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: to I guess the clock he was looking at inside

850
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium disappeared and so didn't realize what the timing was.

851
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: They had some personnel issues causing a whole ruckets of

852
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: problems towards the end there, Bucky, what did you see? Oh?

853
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: I just saw someone who didn't They had a plan

854
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: for two minutes, and it's it's unusual because when you

855
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: watched him in trying to camp, they did situations day

856
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: after day after day. But in this situation, it appeared

857
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: like they panicked. They didn't know what they want to do,

858
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: and to settle for a fifty six yard field goal

859
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: is not ideal when you have time to move in.

860
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: Greggs certainly build them out. They have to do a

861
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: better job of managing the clock. I'll just add that's

862
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: the best kicking environment in the NFL. That's so far.

863
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: I saw Bucker make a fifty eight yard to win

864
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: a game last year. Fifty six almost feels like forty

865
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: six inside that stadium. Oh that's nice, um, But yeah,

866
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys fans certainly were there. I mean

867
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: you heard that too, right, I mean Cowboys fans. It

868
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: was a great I felt like a bowl game there.

869
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a lot of fun.

870
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: And I think sitting close to here yesterday inside this office,

871
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: like you could hear what was going on over there.

872
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: So thanks for me when us here in this movie

873
00:38:44,719 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: Stix Monday. We're back with you next week. At the moment,

874
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: Putt
