1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, what's going on? DJ? Bucky? Here a little

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Move the Sticks. Ten takeaway podcasts from a wild Week

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: sixteen is the way I would put it. What do

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: you say, Buck? I mean crazy uh Week sixteen? And

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: when you really think about this, because there were so

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: many win or go home games, playoff bursa on the line,

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I felt like we got to see really really good football.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: We got to see the urgency that we wanted, We

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: got to see players making big plays, and we got

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: this chance to see coaches having to make technical decisions

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: to determine whether the teams could move on. I think

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: it made for a fascinating week of football to watch. Yeah,

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: and we also, uh no Thursday football this week, but

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: we did have Saturday football, so we'll jump in to

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Saturday's as well as Sundays for our takeaways. I'll start

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: us off with the one I was at on Saturday,

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: and that that Ravens defense was smothering Rivers takes the snaps,

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: gates to the party, nine, lowers the shoulder to the

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven. Bault comes out and they say it's out

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: Ravens having right sideline touched off Baltimore Tavon Young and

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: through sixty one yards. How's Matt money Smith on the

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: call there? Buck And it was, man, it was just

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: a game we were talking about before we went on air,

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: just and the Charges could couldn't find a rhythm and

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: they got really kind of physically dominated at the line

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: of scrimmage early on with the Ravens offensive line in

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: that rushing attack. Uh, that was the story early on

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: in the game. And then the pressure they will to

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: generate in the second half to just consistently heat up

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Philip rivers Um and hit him even one taking him

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: out of field goal range and just under Durest all

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: day long. And then there's a whole other aspect, which was,

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar Jackson, what the expectation was with his

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: legs a couple of nice runs. That wasn't how he

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: beat this team. He beat this team throwing the football,

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: including a beautiful long touchdown pass to the big tight

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: end at Oklahoma Andrews. Yeah. I mean, when when you

39
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: look at the Baltimore Ravens um they've definitely played a

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: complimentary style of football, meaning their offense compliments their defense,

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: and their special teams also filling the gaps. They play

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a ball control style of offense that really makes it

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: um easier for their defense to be on the field

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: for fewer snaps, and their defense is kind of loaded.

45
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I took away from watching

46
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: them play on defense, they continue to be the Baltimore

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Ravens that we have grown to know and love over

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: the past twenty years. They have playmakers on every level,

49
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: d line, linebackers and dbs, and those guys can be

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: counted on to make plays. And as we get into

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the postseason and as we start separating the elites from

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: the pretenders, the one thing that shows up is your

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: best players have to show up. And in that game,

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I felt like the Baltimore Ravens best players showed up

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: and made plays when those plays were there to be made.

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Just so physical. Really on defense, you can look at

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: the size they go, you know, three forty, you know

58
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: with a couple whether interior defensive players, when you look

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: at Pearce and Williams, but then on the edge, just

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the edge setters that they have and the way they

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: get after you. We've known about Terrell Sucks forever. The

62
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: way he's played the game. He's I think is a

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. But when you look at what Matt

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Judaan has done, its Darius Smith had a big game

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, he had a sack and a half.

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: A big Again. They we would when I was scouting there,

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: they always used a phrase and much people have adopted

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: it with their own teams, But like play like a

69
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: raven That was kind of what Rex Ryan had first coined,

70
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: uh there with the Ravens. And there's something to that

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: when you watch a guy in college like, man, that's

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: just a physical, nasty dude. And I mean that in

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the nicest way possible. This guy fits the Ravens and

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: they've got a team full of them. Yeah, And I

75
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: think that is the lesson to be learned. And for

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: so long, the Baltimore Ravens reviewed as the model franchise

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: when it came to drafting players and having those guys

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: um play like Pro Bowl players. They rarely missed in

79
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: the first round. They were able to select players, uh

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: in the early rounds that became stars in this league.

81
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: And you always wanted, man, what was the secret sauce?

82
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: And I think the secret sauce for me on the

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: outside looking in you obviously worked there was I felt

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: like the Baltimore Ravens did a really good job of

85
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: finding great football players and picking them in the first round,

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: regardless of the measurables and all the other stuff. At

87
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they did a great job

88
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: selecting football players. And when I watched them play, they

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: have guys that are really good quote unquote football players,

90
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: meaning they get it, they're productive, they had the it factor. Um,

91
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: they have the ability to leave their mark on the game.

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: And they have a team full of those guys, from

93
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to what we talked about on defense you

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: talked about Darry Smith and Terrell Suggs and c. J.

95
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Moseley to to safety Jefferson and Weddle. There, guys just

96
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: play and they play the right way and did a

97
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: great job of just doing whatever it takes to win. Um,

98
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: it's interesting to watch. But they still have to win

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: this weekend to punch their ticket. But I think it

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: was fascinating to watch on Saturday. Uh, two top teams

101
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: in the a f C kind of battled out last thing.

102
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: And we'll move on because we go a little along

103
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: on this one. Because I thought it deserved it. But

104
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Uh, coming into this game and not throwing

105
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: the ball more than fifteen times, he threw it twenty

106
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: two times a completion percentage not gonna blow you a

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: waist twelve twenty two, but two d four yards. First

108
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: time he's throwing for over two hundred yards had the

109
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: long touchdown. I mentioned the one thing about Lamar's evaluation

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring up because um, like, look,

111
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: he's you're gonna have to play a certain way with him.

112
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: He's going to continue to get better, I believe as

113
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: a passer, but you're gonna still have to craft your

114
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: offense around a little bit the way they're doing it

115
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: right now. The lesson I would say, and this is

116
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: for this position, maybe more so than any other buck,

117
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: is that his misses are so bad that sometimes you

118
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: it's like you count for more than one miss throw

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: when you watch him when you're great in the tape,

120
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: because man, he made five or six really nice throws,

121
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: but man, the one he missed. Guys in the flat,

122
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: he puts the ball, you know, ten feet short like,

123
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: but still that's just one in completion, so you've got

124
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: to factor it in. Is just one in completion, because

125
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: some of them can look terrible. Now, some of these

126
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: in completions look bad, but it's just one in completion.

127
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: I think that's something that's tough to do as an

128
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: evaluator kind of say, okay, hey, let's put this in context.

129
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be a seventy passer. He can have.

130
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: You can afford a few stray bullets there because he's

131
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: gonna hit some of those plays over the top. Yeah.

132
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: I think what we're learning from Lamar Jackson all of

133
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: these rookie quarterbacks, I think when we're evaluating the quarterback position,

134
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: I think now more than ever, we have to bring

135
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: our imagination and our creativity to the minks, meaning we

136
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: have to be able to clearly identify, this is what

137
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: this player is, and here's how teams are going to

138
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: have to use him, and when we give him that grade,

139
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: it is with that in mind. I think we've done

140
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: an exercise before what we said, like if we were

141
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: playing like Santa Claus and you brought this out, here's

142
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the prospect, but here are the directions that you need

143
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: to have to get the most out of him. I

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: think what we're seeing with Lamar Jackson Sam Donald Baker Mayfield.

145
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: There are certain things that if you do, you can

146
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: unlock a great player. And I think more teams have

147
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: to be a little more flexible to what they're thinking

148
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: about when they're going to find that quarterback instead of

149
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: thinking about our system fits him? Is what can we

150
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: do to Taylor our system to really help him be

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: the best player that he can be? No doubt? All right,

152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: keep keep us rolling here. What's what's your first take away?

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: The Eagles are rolling with folds thirty five yards to

154
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: the winner, spotting kick up it is it's good. Wow.

155
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, like I watched fired up there?

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: He was fired up. I watched that game. I didn't

157
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: get the sense that it was like that dramatical kick.

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, but maybe you know what I'm saying. Maybe

159
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm not eating necessarily Eagles fan, but maybe it was that.

160
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: But bouncing offer the conversation that we just had about

161
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks and how you just need to see what

162
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: they do and kind of build the offense around them.

163
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are a great example of a

164
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: team that is able to take their quarterback and put

165
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: him in his comfort zone and allow him to thrive,

166
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: and I do believe there's something that is interesting at

167
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: play when you look at the Eagles with Nick Foles

168
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: and the Eagles with Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz is clearly

169
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: a better player, clearly better prospect. He is, without a doubt,

170
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: their QB one. However, they play a little differently when

171
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is there. And now some of that maybe

172
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: due to Folds being a veteran player. He does a

173
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: really good job of distributing ball to UM a bunch

174
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: of different players. He had nine different pass catchers catch

175
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: the ball today. He had over four hundred yards UM

176
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and they played the same offense that he played in

177
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly. And so I can't really explain what

178
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Doug is doing. I can't figure out what Doug is

179
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: doing with Carson Wentz is there, versus what he's doing

180
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: with Nick Foles. But for whatever reason, to the naked

181
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: I it just looks like this offense flows a little

182
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: different league when number nine is on the field. You

183
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: gotta help me with the name here, Um, remember Detroit Pistons,

184
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: bad Boy Pistons, Vinnie the Microwave. What was his last name, Oh,

185
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: Vinnie Johnson, Bennie Johnson, that that's Nick Foles. He's a

186
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: microwave man, right off the bench, right off the bench,

187
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: just when you need him. He's just with the doctor

188
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: ordered for this group. Um A couple other takeaways from

189
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: me from this game. You hit on the Foles thing,

190
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: um Man, it was great to see Darren Sprowles do

191
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Big, biggest factor in what has to

192
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: taking place for them the last two or three weeks.

193
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowles has come back and giving them a legitimate

194
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: threat at running back in he still is like he's

195
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: not the dynamic runner that he once was, but his

196
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: ability to make plays in the passing game has really

197
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: really helped him. Had over a hundred yards UH today

198
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: total yards of offense. They did a great job of

199
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: catching um finding him catching the ball off the backfield.

200
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: He has really added the dimension to their team and

201
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: has changed the way people have oponents have to cover

202
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: zach Ertz and some of their other weapons. And let's

203
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: let's take what I was going to go over the

204
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: Houston side here. Two things. Number One, I feel like

205
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: we've been we've been kind of banging this drum here

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: with our concern with this team just being the offensive

207
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: line and Watson getting hit too much. That happened again today.

208
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: Four more sacks. It seems like every week we're seeing

209
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: four or five sacks. But in defeat, DeShawn Watson was awesome.

210
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean buck the way he threw for three on

211
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards, two touchdowns, He ran for two touchdowns.

212
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: He was making plays all over the field. They lost

213
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: this game. It had nothing to do with Shaun Watson.

214
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: Their defense couldn't get stops when they needed to. He

215
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: was spectaclor and including a big go ahead touchdown. They

216
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: had him a chance to to win this football game.

217
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Their defense couldn't stand up and get off the field.

218
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: But I don't want that to get lost because I

219
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: feel like with all the excitement with Mahomes and Baker

220
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Mayfield and and even Sam Donald getting little bit of

221
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: buzz for the way he played the last couple of weeks,

222
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: man Deshaun Watson is a stud young quarterback. It's fun

223
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: to watch him. I enjoy. I just watched a lot

224
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: of this game today and I came away from that

225
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: same man. This guy is so he is really good.

226
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he is everything that we thought he could

227
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: be at Clemson. And I know once again We talked

228
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: about these evaluations of quarterbacks, and he had a lot

229
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: of interceptions his final season at Clemson, and it kind

230
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: of clouded the evaluation because you wondered, man, is he

231
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: going to be a turnover machine at the next level?

232
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: And he certainly has not been that uh as a pro,

233
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: but he has been every good, every bit is good

234
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: at the playmaker that he was at Clemson, using his legs,

235
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: using his arm, making big plays, being able to deliver

236
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: and clutch moments. Um. I felt like, um the game

237
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: versus feeling you had an opportunity to see the game

238
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: on the line. Could Deshaun Watson make a play lead

239
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: his team down the field? He may play after play,

240
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: great escapability in the pocket, finding guys down the field,

241
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: and then the accuracy on his throws down the field

242
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: of weird platforms, just something that you normally don't see

243
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: from a traditional pocket passer. He deserves a ton of

244
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: credit for being the special playmate that he is in

245
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: the pocket. No, let's keep it going here, from one

246
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: quarterback who played well to another one who was even better,

247
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: and that's Russell Wilson. And I believe after this performance

248
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: he might not win the award. But he belongs in

249
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: the conversation for m v P. Russell has hot, he

250
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: looks fires inside, preaching up to Dixon in the reaches

251
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: out the catch. I know, you know what made T

252
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: d are old producer proud when I think was Chris

253
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: Collins word said that Russell Wilson throws the prettiest deep

254
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: ball because TD we always say sexy deep ball. That

255
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: was his line there with Russell Wilson, So I know

256
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: he enjoyed that that comment there on Russell Wilson, that

257
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: ball just kind of drops out of the sky. He

258
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: was awesome. I think the way they've handled this team

259
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: and the way Pete Carroll has coached this team up, Um,

260
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: you gotta get Schottenheimer credit as well. You know, I thought, okay,

261
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: the way they were playing, I don't know if that

262
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: was sustainable for them to beat great teams. I mean,

263
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: just so un heavy buck. But I think the strategy,

264
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: if I'm reading this correctly, was man maybe even a

265
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: little bit too reliant on the run game to get

266
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: to this portion of the season because Russell was not

267
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: running a lot earlier in the year. He was not

268
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: part of that run game. But now he hasn't taken

269
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: those accumulated hits in the pocket in the passing game.

270
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Over the course of the season, he hasn't taken those

271
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: shots as a runner. And now you're seeing a fresh

272
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson where they can cut him loose a little

273
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: bit as a runner, they can throw it a little

274
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: bit more than they have and he's fresh, and he

275
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: looks outstanding. And this is a this is a team. Look,

276
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be at home throughout the playoffs, and

277
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I do think they're different team home in a way.

278
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: But man, that's whoever goes in there or where where

279
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: whoever they play. Early in this playoff round, they'll go

280
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: on the road. Obviously because the Rams won the division. Um,

281
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: they probably won't be at home anymore, to be honest

282
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: with you, But it'll be interesting to see how this

283
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: team goes down the stretch buck because they can run

284
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: the ball, they're playing good defense. All that stuff we

285
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: say is good this time of year, it looks less

286
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: is more less. Russell Wilson is actually better for the

287
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: Seattle Seall last year they had to lean on Russell

288
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: Wilson to do everything for then. He was in leading rushier,

289
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: he was making plays, he was throwing it all over

290
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: the place, but he was a one man show. This year,

291
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: they found a way to lighten his load. They are

292
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: running the football and spectacular fashion. Number one rushed offense

293
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: and football, and they're beginning to allow him to get

294
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: back to being a factor in the run game, but

295
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: also make these explosive plays down the field. The one

296
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: thing that the running game does do it allows you

297
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: to have to face more single high safety looks. It

298
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: gives you an opportunity to have more one on one

299
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: coverage on the outside, and we saw against can City

300
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs the wide receivers were winning their one on one matchups.

301
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: If Doug Baldwin can continue to play the way that

302
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: he is playing, if Tyler Lockett can continue to take

303
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: the top off the defense, this Seattle team, with their

304
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: running game and their defense, they're going to be a

305
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: tough out. They're not quite the same on the road

306
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: as they are at home. But because you have a

307
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: battle tested quarterback and an experienced coach who understands how

308
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: to get his team to the winners circle, their team

309
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: that you don't want to face in the tournament. Let's

310
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: keep it going here with your next one. When you

311
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: got Cowboys take care of business. Winston and the gun.

312
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: It's an empty gun back to throw light pressure running

313
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: right hand, sat fun the Chanleon Smith recovers up the

314
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: thirty runs rust to the forty. Nick fail that he's

315
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: running Smith's day to Sunlin chileon Smith David Sudine to

316
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: become the first time Boy to return the ball for

317
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown this year. You know the thing about the

318
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, It's really easy to get caught up in

319
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: the glitz and glamor of America's team. But what this

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: team is that as co core is a blue collar,

321
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: workman like team. And what I saw today against Tampa

322
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, this is a team that just took your business.

323
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't in things pick tech. I'm looking at das numbers.

324
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: Hundred and six more pass yards, one touchdown, all said,

325
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: a rushing score. Zeke had twenty three touches, hundred and

326
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: nine scrimmage yards. Deef said, two takeaways in three sacks

327
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: um nothing off That stat sheet says, oh and I

328
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: it makes you really stand up. But they did exactly

329
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: what they needed to do to get out of this

330
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: game with the win. And for Dak Prescott, I think

331
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: what we have to understand is, look, this is who

332
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: he is. He is going to fall into managerial category.

333
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: He's not going to be someone that lights it up

334
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: and has three hundred, three hundred fifty to four hundred

335
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: passing yards. He's going to do just enough to lead

336
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: his team to victory. And I saw a stat that

337
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: is interesting today. Over the last three years, the only

338
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League with more quarterback wins

339
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: than Dak Prescott, it's Tom Brady. At some point, you

340
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: have to be able to give him credit for being

341
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: a guy that is a quote unquote winner. It's not

342
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: always pretty, it doesn't always necessarily suit what you want

343
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: from a QB one, but he certainly knows how to

344
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: win games. And I think the intangibles matter a lot

345
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: more than the physical traits that he displays because it

346
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: works for him and it works with Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, look,

347
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: he's you know things I'll say about Dak Um. I

348
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: think there is a just a genuine toughness that he

349
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: has in a leadership that he brings. You can just

350
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: tell they do rally around him there and uh, when

351
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: there's plays to be made, key third downs, he can

352
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: make it. In a variety of ways in the pocket,

353
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, take off, run design, quarterback runs,

354
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, scrambles, you name it. There's a lot of

355
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: different ways he can beat you. Um. And now they've

356
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: got a defense it and kind of back him up

357
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. Yeah, it's it's it's it's fun

358
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: to watch. You know, he's still getting better. Buck, I

359
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: think that we haven't seen Dak Prescott's best football, and

360
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: they're winning a lot of games while he's still developing. Yeah,

361
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the the main fact that

362
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: they win a lot of games, the second Division title

363
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: in the last uh three years. They just have to

364
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: continue to really build upon what he's able to do

365
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: really really well. I think the main factor is you

366
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: have to have a dominant running game. And I think

367
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: if I'm the Dallas Cowboys wanted to things that I

368
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: would consider doing. I would consider investing in another running

369
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: back behind Ezekiel Elliott. Um, Ezekiel Elliot does so much

370
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: for them that I worry that you kind of overburden him.

371
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: I would consider using a second or third round pick

372
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: to get a legitimate Bill Couid back that can kind

373
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: of step in and take some of the load off

374
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: of them, because if you're gonna run the ball thirty

375
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: five to thirty seven times a game, you need to

376
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: make sure that you have another back that can get

377
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: you maybe ten to twelve carries a night. So Ezekiel

378
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Elliott doesn't have to do everything. But the way the

379
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are trending, they understand who they are. We will

380
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: see how that plays out into postseason, though. Let's keep

381
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: this train rolling here. Uh. Pittsburgh Steelers in the New

382
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints and really fascinating game to watch. Back and

383
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: forth offense. We saw defense with big plays. But man,

384
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: the thing that I took away from this game penalties.

385
00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: The penalties killed the Pittsburgh Steelers. Roethlisberger within empty backfield,

386
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: He's in the gun, seventh player. This drive Saints lead

387
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: to thirty Raelthlisberger takes the snap, drops back, three man rush,

388
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: throws over the middle of that ball is caught across

389
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: the forty, falls out, falls out, the ball is out,

390
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: the sins of the ball is out. Now that was uh,

391
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: that was just a great defensive effort there on that fumble.

392
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: But man, Buck, I just I watched this game. Did

393
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: you see the early um Pat's interference penalty on the

394
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: deep ball. Uh, it was ridiculous. It was ridiculous. There

395
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: was so little contact there and there were about two

396
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: or three other penalties that were sketchy. Now you can

397
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: look at the overall penalties for the game the Saints had.

398
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: I think they even had more penalties than the Steelers

399
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: did in this one, So you can't say it was

400
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: one of those days where he had fifteen penalties on

401
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: one team and and one on the other. But just

402
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: watching this game, just some costly, crucial penalties. And then

403
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: you have the touchdown with Michael Thomas where you could say, Okay,

404
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: if you're gonna call that tiki tax stuff on defensively,

405
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: then you gotta gotta go the other way as well

406
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: with Michael Thomas gets that kind of subtle Michael Irving

407
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: little push there on the touchdown to generate that separation

408
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: after he had stumbled. You don't generate that type of

409
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: separation after you stumbled in your route buck without getting

410
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a shove, and you saw it

411
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: on the play. Yeah, you know this. This is a

412
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: funny thing and one of the things that I want

413
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: to tweet about the past interference it's ridiculous. It's a

414
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: it's forty yard penalties. I mean, they just build, they bail.

415
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they just build these offenses out because it's

416
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: third and long. They did you just kind of throwing

417
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: the ball up and look, I get it, I understand it,

418
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: but man, some of these I just wish weren't spot

419
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: files because it ends up deciding games like the Pittsburgh

420
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: steel As you can, they could gripe. They have a

421
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: legitimate gripe um in terms of the penalties and how

422
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: it impacted them. I believe their issues extend beyond what

423
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: happened when it came to the officials. I just believe

424
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: that this team, uh, for whatever reason, as talented as

425
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: they are, they just don't have the right stuff in

426
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: the locker room right now to put it together to

427
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: go on a championship run. I said this, when they

428
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: let Levan Bell go and Levan Bell didn't come in

429
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: and they kind of had a party at his locker,

430
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: I just felt like they you did not you did

431
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: not dig that. I mean, I just felt like there

432
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: was a level of immaturity to that. And then when

433
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: we come full circle, your team that potentially is on

434
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. I just believe that if their

435
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: locker room culture was better, they win at a higher level.

436
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: And that is something that Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert, their

437
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: front office, they will have to discuss and figure out

438
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: how to make this team better from inside out when

439
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: they start the process of planning for the off season.

440
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: You know what, this team hasn't really done. I'm just

441
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: going through their schedule here Buck the Bucks. They beat

442
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks thirty seven. Outside of that game, they I mean,

443
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like they haven't won close games for

444
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: the most part. They've won two games. Two of those

445
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: close games, they've lost the majority of the close games

446
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: they found themselves in. Um it's because you know how

447
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: that is, like when you're in one score games, what

448
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: matters are discipline, attention to detail, execution, execution. All of

449
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: those things kind of fall into one. Like the discipline

450
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: in terms of your effort and knowing your assignment, being

451
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: able to do exactly what you're asked to do, and

452
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: trusting that the plan is going to work out. They

453
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: don't take your business in that regard, and so it's

454
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: one of the things that we can talk about on

455
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: the outside. But until they've take the corrective measures to

456
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: make themselves a more disciplined team. The Pittsburgh Steelers are

457
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: always going to be an up and down team, a

458
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: team that plays up against the really good teams, but

459
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: they also played down against the bad teams, which makes

460
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: them vulnerable to always being knocked off on a weekly basis.

461
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: And as it stands right now, they would not be

462
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: in the postseason, but they could backdoor their way in buck.

463
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: They could still win the division if they beat the

464
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Browns beat the Ravens, which they've already

465
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: done this year. Now, this time it will be at Baltimore,

466
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: will be a tougher challenge, but with Baker Mayfield, um,

467
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: they've got a fighting chance. So Pittsburgh Steelers doesn't look

468
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: great for him, but they are still alive at this

469
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,840

490
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: and a half is Jared Davis Eyeball's cousins who fires

491
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: into the end zone to the right side, and it's

492
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: amazing catch and the vikings amazingly. I'm taking the lead.

493
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Buck. I know we heard the hail Mary there,

494
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: but I know and talking to you, you were pretty

495
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: fired up about this. The other side of the ball

496
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: here for the Minnesota Vikings. Man, I'm really fired up

497
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: about the Vikings defense. Um, the Vikings defense has always

498
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: been their calling, Cord. I think they have rediscovered their

499
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: identity against the Detroit Lions. Only gave up two hundred

500
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: twenty three total yards, three sacks. And what I liked

501
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: from this team, I saw the speed, the explosive nous,

502
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: and the execution that you normally see from a Mike

503
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: Zimmer squad. They were all over the place, really bottled

504
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: up and contained Matt Stafford. He had a tough night. Obviously,

505
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't necessarily have all the weapons at his disposal,

506
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: but the Minnesota Vikings, their collective speed and their ability

507
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: to physically kind of knock you around changes the way

508
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: that you play, particularly quarterbacks. I just like the way

509
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: this team is trending. I like what they're doing on defense,

510
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: and I think that is going to give them a

511
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: chance to be a tough out if they get into postseason.

512
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: And look at the way Kirk Cousins played in this game.

513
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: You know when your defense is rolling. They got the

514
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: run game cranked up. The week before he comes out

515
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: goes twenty one eight uh to fifty three, three touchdowns,

516
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: no picks. That's perfect. I mean, that's what you want

517
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: from him. You don't need him throwing for five hundred

518
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: yards and games buck, just be efficient, protect the football

519
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: um and that's what they did against the Detroit Lions, who,

520
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: by the way, there's been all that chatter about about

521
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes being one and done with the Arizona Cardinals.

522
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: I haven't heard any chatter about the Patricia being one

523
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: and done with the Lions. And you think there's any

524
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: chance at all we could see that one one and done,

525
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: no for whatever, And I don't. I don't think he

526
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: will be in a conversation. But he took over a

527
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: team to won nine games. The worst is the worst

528
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: football team. They're worse. I don't see a tough team.

529
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: I don't see a physical team. I feel like the

530
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: quarterback has regressed despite having the same offensive coordinator. This

531
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: is going to be a situation where I expect to

532
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: see major um moves When it comes to the coaching staff.

533
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I think Matt Patrici is going to make sure that

534
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: he stocked it with his guys and that everyone that

535
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: he has on the staff are not holdovers. But guys

536
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: that really kind of buy into how he sees um

537
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: the game and how the game should be um kind

538
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: of coached or played out on the field. This will

539
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: be an interesting offseason for the Detroit lines, no doubt.

540
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: All let's keep it going here. Uh mentioned these guys

541
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, but two rookie quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield

542
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald were bowling in the shotgun with Baker

543
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: Mayfield third, dolling each four at the seventeen yard line.

544
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: He's got the staff, he looks, he sings from that,

545
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: here comes Hagens across the field. Ten touchdown. I know

546
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: some people are you know, the negative things you hear

547
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: on the Browns and Baker Mayfield is Wow, look at

548
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: who they were beating. Uh, they're beating bad teams. Look

549
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: the Browns were the bad team. Okay, the fact that

550
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: you're beating bad teams is a good thing. It's not

551
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: a bad thing. And the way that he has played Buck,

552
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: he's brought so much energy. We talked about it and

553
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: run up to the draft. He fills the stadium with energy.

554
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't really staring down Hugh Jackson. I'm sure that's

555
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: for all the talk shows. That's what everybody talking about.

556
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: I can don't care about that. Who cares, um? But

557
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: all I know is he's been extremely accurate, He's been

558
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: a good decision maker, and he has brought life to

559
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: this team. Uh, without question that the difference I would

560
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: say though, comparing him and his numbers are better than

561
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's, Um, you would, I would. I think everybody

562
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: would agree he's had a better year than Sam Donald.

563
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: But Sam's playing pretty good here coming down the stretch,

564
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: after you got a chance to rest and watch a

565
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: little bit, Um, he's come back and played really good football,

566
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: and he's done it with one thing that Acre Mayfield

567
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: has that Sam doesn't have, and that's a ground attack. Buck.

568
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: They have no run game with the Jets, and here

569
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: you've got Nick Chubb, who, since he's kind of taken

570
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: over the role, he's given them a nice presence in

571
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the run game for the Browns. Yeah, both of your

572
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are trending, uh in the right direction. I think

573
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: the big thing for Baker Mayfield that you also want

574
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: to consider with Sam Donald, Baker Mayfield is too, almost

575
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: three years older, a more mature player, a guy that

576
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: came in with a bunch of collegiate snaps under his

577
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: belt before he made his way to the league. I

578
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: felt like the transition has been a little smoother because

579
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: he played more as a collegian. The other thing, when

580
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: it comes to Baker Mayfield and what he has at

581
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: his disposal, um, they kind of built this team in

582
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: a way around him. They went out and got Jarvis

583
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 1: Landry obviously before they acquired Baker, but they knew they

584
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: wouna have a quarterback and they wanted to have a

585
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: number one weapon. Season ago, they drafted David and joeku Um.

586
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: You see Higgins playing. You also saw they picked up

587
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: uh Shard Perriman from the Baltimore Ravens. They've given him

588
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: some d and playmakers on the outside, and then being

589
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: able to run the ball with Nick Chubb has allowed

590
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: them to play off play action. I think the big

591
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: conversation that we will have in a couple of years,

592
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: who eventually has better upside, who is going to get

593
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: more out of their team? Is that Baker Mayfield, who

594
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: was pretty much a finished product when he already came

595
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: into league number one, or Sam Donald who was drafted early.

596
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: But a lot of that was due to his potential

597
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: and promise that he displayed during a couple of seasons

598
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: at SC. Now, I feel I do feel good about

599
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: this early on here because I remember last year and

600
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: we talked about this a bunch. I remained bullish on

601
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: this class. Now, the order that I had him, I

602
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: had him Donald Rosen, Mayfield, Allen, Uh Jackson. I know

603
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: you had a different order, slightly different order you were.

604
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to trying to think who

605
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: we're here first. I think ahead, I think Donald Jacksons, Yeah, Rosen,

606
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Donald had row Is in Donald Um, I think it

607
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: had Mayfield Jackson, that j Josh Allen was the fifth one.

608
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: And I think the big thing for Baker Mayfield that

609
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: I think we all had to go again, had to

610
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: kind of flip our norms normally with the number one overall,

611
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: pick Um, it's a guy that not only has a

612
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: production on the field, but he also has the prototypical

613
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: physical dimensions. For me, Um, I still had a tough

614
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: time seeing that he was going to be number one,

615
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: based on not only his physical appearance, but like the

616
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: athletic profile that he Um kind of finished up and

617
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: what he showed at the workouts. You just had never

618
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: seen a guy who was still kind of deemed undersize,

619
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: who wasn't an A plus athlete go off the board

620
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: that high. But to his credit, he has played outstanding.

621
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: He has been a terrific fit and has been exactly

622
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: what they needed in Cleveland. Their seven seven and one,

623
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: their five and two undergrad Williams. It just begs the question,

624
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: Nandi Baker has played so well in the system under

625
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: fred Kitchens, do you who do you bring in? If

626
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: you bring somebody on the outside and Greg Williams is

627
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: five and two. Greg Williams has taken the same team

628
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: that Hugh Jackson had a tough time winning games with

629
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: and has taught them how to win. What do you

630
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: do if you to Cleveland Browns? Because if you think

631
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: a new offensive minded head coach is gonna come in

632
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: and Freddy Kitchens is going to stay or run it

633
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: send to get better than what he's doing, I mean

634
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: it's not it's not gonna be there. So who is

635
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: going to be the head coach? Do you stick with

636
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Greg Williams who's your interim head coach? Or do you

637
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: even jump him and say, hey, Freddy Kitchens, you're gonna

638
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: be the head coach so we can retain you and

639
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: then Greg Williams, you'll do this other thing. Man, It's

640
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough to watch. I

641
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what they decided to do in

642
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland with this process. Well, here's why I wanted to

643
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: bring that up about the ratings, because I think people

644
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times you get the debates and what

645
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: people that I hate that I told you so is right.

646
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are gonna go back and say,

647
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: did you have this guy or that guy? This guy,

648
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: that guy. All I know is run up to this

649
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: draft and said, this is a great group of quarterbacks,

650
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: and I thought they kind of got unfairly knocked as

651
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: they were going through the process. They got beat up.

652
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: I felt like that we had a chance to have

653
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: five really, really good starting NFL quarterbacks and that's what's happened.

654
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: And when you look at I was talking to Chris

655
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Mortenson the other day about this on the phone. We

656
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: were kind of chit chatting about these quarterbacks. He brought up.

657
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: He brought up a great point. I'll give him the

658
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: credit because he said, at the end of the day,

659
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is exactly what the Cleveland Browns needed. That

660
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: was a great fit. Sam Donald with his even keel

661
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: personality is perfect for New York. He ended up in

662
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: the right spot. Buck. They're gonna eventually get him some help,

663
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: but he's gonna do great there. Lamar Jackson, with the

664
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: style of play he wants to play, match him up

665
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: with the defense of the Baltimore Ravens and their offensive line,

666
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: like that's a perfect fit for Lamar Jackson. And then

667
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: and for a team that has nothing, Josh Allen, who

668
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: gets lost in discussion, he's perfect for them because he's

669
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: a one man band. I mean, he's gotta do it.

670
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: He's gotta do everything. Now, hopefully they'll give him a chance.

671
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: But with his size and arm strength and the weather

672
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: in that division, he fits there, you know. And then

673
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: I think Josh Rosen, for his personality and everything. I

674
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: think being out in the desert on the West Coast

675
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: is a good fit for him. Now we'll see what

676
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: happens with the coaching staff and all that, but I

677
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: think all these guys landed exactly where they needed to be. Yeah,

678
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a It's an interesting thing. We've talked

679
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: about it. Um, the way these quarterbacks have come out

680
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: and played. The way these teams have kind of built um,

681
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: kind of built their offenses around these guys is It's

682
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: the thing that we will continue to watch. But now

683
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: more than ever, I believe the league is in a

684
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: great spot with the young quarterbacks. The quarterbacks that are

685
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: coming from college are able to step onto the field

686
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: because teams are helping them by kind of meeting them halfway,

687
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: and they're having a tremendous amount of success. Can I

688
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: take a quick little sidebar here before we get to

689
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: your eighth takeaway? And I'm sorry for stilling time here,

690
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: but the one thing I was thinking about, what are

691
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: these guys all have in common? Those quarterbacks all mentioned

692
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: plus when we've seen this weekend um from Deshaun Watson,

693
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: we've seen it from Homes, We've seen it from Russell Wilson.

694
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: You add that with Mayfield, Jackson, darn Old Um, those

695
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 1: guys that have played great just recently. The one thing

696
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me, Buck was that thought of

697
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to be sudden in your movement,

698
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: to be able to get away from trouble when it

699
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: comes at you. Gotta be able to get away. And

700
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: I started watching Dwayne Haskins. That's why it makes you

701
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: to see once we really dig into these guys here,

702
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: because that's the one question I had on him is

703
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: he's a pure pocket passer, but he is not as

704
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: nearly as athletic or quick and explosive in those tight quarters.

705
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: Is with the guys we saw play well this weekend,

706
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting part of his evaluation. Yeah, you know,

707
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: it would be a part of it because the thing

708
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: that you have coaches say is I want a quarterback

709
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: who can run, but I don't want a running quarterback.

710
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: So what you would like is someone who is able.

711
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Can you be the free rusher? Can you Can you

712
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: just help me out against a free rusher when they

713
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: can do Can you do the stuff in the pocket

714
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: to give yourself an opportunity to avoid the pass rush

715
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: and still keep your eyes down the field and to

716
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: make plays. Um, it is mandatory now because you can't

717
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: have a sitting duck in the pocket. The pass rush

718
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: in this league are too good, not only on the

719
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: edges but also on the inside of defensive tackle. All right,

720
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: sorry for getting a soft track there. Bucky hit us

721
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: with number eight. The Patriots leaned on the running game

722
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: to get back on track at him and stands up

723
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: left patterns an any motion right to left with why

724
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: in the back of hand off to James runs it

725
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: through the loft side first time to the fifteen time

726
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: one man to beat to the corner, standing for the

727
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: final touchdown. Patriots. Sweet thetis back Patio. He gets so

728
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: fired up every call, every every week on these calls,

729
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: he gets zolak. He gets so fired up. Yeah, he

730
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: should be fired up. After watching the Patriots run for

731
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy three yards, Sony Michelle had one

732
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: sixteen of those. Um Look for the New England Patriots

733
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: to win, I think they're going to have to play

734
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: differently than they've played in the past. They cannot go

735
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: back to that spread and shred approach because they just

736
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: don't have the athletes on the outside to kind of

737
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: beat you one on one. But what they do have

738
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: the ability to do is to kind of batten up

739
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: the hatches, loaded up with big bodies in the field

740
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: and kind of run it at you. Now, these games

741
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: won't be the pretty games, but for me, this is

742
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: how Bill Belichick won games two thousand one, two thousand three,

743
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: two thousand four. It wasn't about their sexy offense. It

744
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: was about playing the game the right way in their defense,

745
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: making enough plays. Um. I can see there's formula working

746
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: for them, but they have to make sure that instead

747
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: of the team running through seven and number eleven, I

748
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: believe the team has to run through Sony Michelle and

749
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: James White. Those two guys have to be major factors

750
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: in the game playing for the new wing games. Yeah,

751
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: no doubt we I think we talked about that last week.

752
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: Is they've got to get back to just running football.

753
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: They don't have the dudes on the outside and to

754
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: just drop back there, spread you out and throw it

755
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: all the time. They just don't. Um. That's why it's

756
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating to see once we get into the

757
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: postseason here see who all gets in because uh, you

758
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: know we've we've seen the Ravens and the Patriots square off,

759
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: you know, in the past. That's a team I don't

760
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: think that they really want to play because they take

761
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: away that physicality from them. Um, and they'd be a

762
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: matchup nightmare for him. So it's gonna be interesting see

763
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: styles make fights. Um, there will be some interesting matchups here.

764
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: Once the a f C playoff picture kind of sorts

765
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: itself out. One quick note on the Patriots took care

766
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: of one rookie quarterback to get the win this week. Uh,

767
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: get another rookie quarterback next week in Sam Donald. And

768
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: they still have some uh they have some turf to

769
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: defend there because they want to hold on to that

770
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: number two seed. Uh and get that first round by

771
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: So be interesting to see how Sam Donald stacks up

772
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: in a pressure packed environment with the team he's on

773
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't have any to play for against a team

774
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: that has everything to play for. That'll be a fun

775
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: one next week. Alright, my, my next take away, what

776
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: a comeback by the Indianapolis Colts. All right, luck out

777
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: of the gun? Ball on the one yard line. Marla

778
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: mack two has left. Are you got a shotgun? Staff?

779
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: It's low Andrew luck Pots He throws over the left side,

780
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: It's cuts down Chester Rogers. Touchdown Colts and the game

781
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: is tied tent seven to twenty seven. Wonder a minute

782
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: to go Marry Christmas, Chester Rogers. There's some great calls

783
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: on this excited a lot of people excited about this. Squads.

784
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: I hear you man with the uh, this was a

785
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: game where the Giants. Hey, hat tip to them. They

786
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: came out and played man Eli Manning. Um, he's we

787
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: We've given Eli some grief. I mean to be honest,

788
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: you've given him grief over the years. Here, I'll move

789
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: the sticks. He played good, He's played good down the stretch. Here.

790
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Uh for the New York Giants and interest to see

791
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: what they do in the draft. They've been competitive to

792
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: be your quarterback in twenty nineteen. I'm looking for I'm

793
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: looking for another one personally, but I'm just saying, uh,

794
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: he's played okay and then uh and then found themselves

795
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: in quite a hole there. But Andrew Luck just find

796
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: a way to dig out of it. And uh, man,

797
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: he just his favorite receiver. Everybody. You know the thing

798
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: everybody says his favorite receivers. T Y Hilton know his

799
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: favorite receivers. Whoever is open, he is. He is so

800
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: good at seeing the field. When when Andrew Lucks dialed

801
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: in and in a rhythm, Buck, it doesn't matter who

802
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: it is, He'll find you. Absolutely. He does a great

803
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: job of working in his playmakers. And I think the

804
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: thing about the Coats and why the Colts are a

805
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: more dangerous team now than they've ever been. Yes, we

806
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: can talk about Andrew Luck, his ability to build him

807
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: outain to make plays that kind is certainly Uh that

808
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: showed up against the Giants, But it's their defense's ability

809
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: to kind of lock you up and suffocate you. Didn't

810
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: let the run game get going, Uh snuffed out Sae

811
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley, didn't allow him to ever get going enable

812
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: his long run, his long carry with six yards in

813
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, I mean that, and that that just

814
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: talks about like Matt ebra Fliss talks about, they emphasize

815
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: stopping the run, making people one dimensional. And even though

816
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: sometimes it's vaunching and they concede it, they do a

817
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: great job of snuffing it out and putting you in

818
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: longer the situations than make you throw against a loaded defense.

819
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: And I give us give us number ten. Here the

820
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: Rams get back to basics. They turned. They give to Anderson,

821
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: he picks up up lock, he runs over a cardinal

822
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: and he goes in touchdown c J. Anderson touchdown l A.

823
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: You know the big thing about the l A Rams

824
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: were all the questions coming into the game about Jerry Golf,

825
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh, how can they fix this offense um and

826
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: writing about it in my note Look, I said, if

827
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: this team gets back to the basics, meaning they get

828
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: back to running the football, being committed to being a

829
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: power run team, and then doing the compliments off of that,

830
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: they can find their way. And what I saw is

831
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: they got back to the basics. Two sixty nine rushing yards. C. J. Anderson,

832
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: who was signed off the streets has a hundred and

833
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: sixties seven rushing yards on twenty carries. And then the

834
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: part that had been missing, not as much movement in

835
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: motion and stuff. They got back to doing the jet

836
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: sweet fly sweep motion and they also handed it off

837
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: to multiple players what they had done. They had kind

838
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: of put it to bed because so many other teams

839
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: in the league had been doing it, but this was

840
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: a part of their offensive that at their best. I

841
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: thought it was important that when Sean McVeigh had his

842
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: back against the wall trying to figure out how it

843
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: could help this, he went back to the schemes and

844
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: the plays that they started out this season, and I

845
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: felt like you saw a more confident squad because they

846
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: were doing things that they were very, very familiar with.

847
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: I thought smarter them too, to uh give Todd Gurley

848
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: the rest get him back to you don't need him

849
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: against Arizona Cardinals. Uh, they absolutely did not need him,

850
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: and I thought that was that was big for them,

851
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: get their mojo back, a little confidence back, and then

852
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: also allow your your big time back to to rest

853
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: up and get healthy here for what could be a

854
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: big time stretch run. It's uh, it's interesting to see though.

855
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: Going forward the Rams they have to I believe they've

856
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: got to. They've got to go at it this nast

857
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: last game against the forty niners, right buck or else

858
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: they could if they have the same record as the Bears.

859
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: They lost to the Bears, so they would lose that tiebreaker.

860
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna make so you're gonna make a win next week.

861
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna make sure to take care of business. I

862
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: still think this is a game that if I could,

863
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't play Tie Gurley a lot. I would want

864
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: Tie Gurley to be available and fresh for whenever that

865
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: first game is. I'll try to almost have a month

866
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: off then because if they have to buy two weeks

867
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: and then uh then plus the two weeks coming up,

868
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: so they should have a fresh Todd Gurley in the

869
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: postseason which will be fun to watch he makes that offense.

870
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: Go anything else you want to add here? Buck on

871
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,120
