1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: Everybody welcome to move the sticks DJ and Bucky together today.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Rhett is Bucky's having some issues with the power at

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: his house, So no rhet today, which is a good

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: thing because he smoked us in the rookie draft this

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: last week.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Oh he did. Oh that's not good. Yeah, at least

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: we don't have to hear him glow, so that's okay.

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that ended up being a blessing. Hopefully

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: everything's okay at the house and we'll get to the

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a rookie draft again. He's given his

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: board to our producer Drew, so we're gonna still have

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: our rookie draft for this next week. We'll give him

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: his flowers, but we don't need to spend too much

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: time on that. In just a little bit, as we

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: get things started. Right now, Buck, it's time for the

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Monday Night recap and a game that was I would say,

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, pretty ugly at least from the Raiders side

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: of things. But let's start positively. Let's start with the

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, coming off a tough loss against the Ravens.

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: They bounce back in a big way twenty six to fourteen.

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: As the final it looked like they kind of righted

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: the ship in Detroit.

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, the absolutely rights of the ship. Played well on

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. Really impressed with what they

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: were able to do offensively. Jamier Gibb stepped up replacing

27
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: David Montgomery. He's beginning to kind of come into his

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: own as one of those feature playmakers on offense.

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: And then Jerry Golf and I'm on Saint Brown.

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: We're beginning to see that connection with Jameson Williams and

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: Sam Laporter. Offensively, Man, they have everything that you could

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: wish for as an offensive coordinated, big, physical offensive line,

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: and whenever this game got tight, they were able to

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: take it over.

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: The one thing to me that.

36
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: Stands out about the lines is their resilience, their toughness,

37
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: their grittiness, man, that comes through in everything that they do.

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: This is a really, really good team, a well constructed team.

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they're physical. I mean you could see

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: some of the replays of just the push that their

41
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: offensive line was getting. It was pretty ridiculous. They were

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: just kind of mauling people at the point of attack

43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: with their offensive line and then on the defensive front.

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Now they've got they've got an underrated player there when

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: you go and watch the tape and going through it

46
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: this morning, Alien McNeil had a couple of sacks in

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: this game. But he is excellent with his hands. He's quick.

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's coming out of n C State, I

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: believe I remember correctly, it was kind of more of

50
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: a pocket push. Yeah, but now buck he's getting he's

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: getting on some of those edges inside and uh, he's

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's winning in one on one pass rush

53
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and he's doing it with outstanding hands, which tells me

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Number One, he's skilled. Number two,

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: he's well coached. They're a nice job of continuing to

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: develop him.

57
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: Even further on Elee McNeil, he played in my rival

58
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: high school. He played at Sandison High School. How about

59
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: I want you to imagine that big guy playing left

60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: field on the baseball team, because that's what he did.

61
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: He played the outfield.

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: And so when you talk about his athleticism in his

63
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: hand usage and all that is notticica wincidence. This is

64
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: a talented player and Aiden Hudgson, Alien McNeil all their guys.

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: The one thing that is coming to nominated with their guys.

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: They have really gone all in on high motor guys.

67
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: They played hard, their physical, they run to the ball,

68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: and Glynn has done a really good job of really

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: taking this defense and changing it.

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: They went from a.

71
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: Team that was all manned a man a year ago,

72
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: high pressure to then backing off and playing zone. Well

73
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: against the Raiders, he reintroduced some of that blitzed some

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 3: of that aggressiveness they came after.

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: They really knocked the Raiders around.

76
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, on a side note, I'm sure

77
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: you saw Dave Dorn with his comments about Steve Smith,

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: our buddy Steve Smith. When Steve just it was a

79
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: throwaway line. I thought it was pretty harmless when he

80
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: said NC State was a basketball school. That was not

81
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: well received. So I'm curious as somebody who went to Carolina,

82
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: who I'm sure your entire life have heard that Carolina

83
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: is a basketball school. As a football player at a

84
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: quote unquote basketball school, did that bother you guys at all?

85
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it can't bother you if you go to

86
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: North Carolina and the basketball team is putting up banners.

87
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: But it is one of those things that is annoying.

88
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: You always want to be viewed in the same life,

89
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: so I understand doing, but doing is always kind of

90
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: edged when it comes to those things. Steve Smith kind

91
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: of gave him something that he was looking for. He

92
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: gave him a little bit of more material to take

93
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: to his team and kind of energized them as they

94
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: were getting ready for Clempson last weekend.

95
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: That was pretty entertaining. All right, we've done the positives here.

96
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: The Lions again, the rookie Sam Laporta, Jamiir Gibbs doing

97
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: great on offense, the offensive line dominated, the defensive front

98
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: took over the game. So lots of good from the

99
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: Lion side of things. The Raiders not so much. And

100
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: I want to start right here. Let's go. I believe

101
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: we have some sound from after the game from Davante Adams.

102
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Let's hear that and we'll react to it.

103
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't know what to say at this moment,

104
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: I truly don't. I wish I had the words, you know,

105
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 4: to say something that's not going to get blown up

106
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: in the media and taking out of context.

107
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna just.

108
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: What are you feeling right now? Can you elaborate on anything.

109
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: Going through your mind.

110
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: Frustration.

111
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: But that's that kind of go over with us, and

112
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: I thought it was actually a very mature and tame

113
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: response to our bridget content's questions there, Bucket. To me,

114
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: he showed restraint because anybody has a right to be frustrated.

115
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: It's this guy, especially coming off that game. He could

116
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: add like a two hundred yard receiving day just on

117
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: the two balls that were grossly missed on home run balls,

118
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean huge, huge plays, and it's just it's not close.

119
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the two deep shots where he is

120
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: free and in the clear and that ball is nowhere

121
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: to be found.

122
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: Yeah.

123
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: No, if you're Devanta Adams, this is not what you

124
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: signed up for when you made the trade request to

125
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: come to the Raiders. You thought you would be a

126
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: featured player and some of that they would be able

127
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: to build game plans around. And for whatever reason, Josh

128
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: mcdames has not been able to get Davante Adams unlocked.

129
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: And to me, when you look at their team, it

130
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: has to be DeVante Adams and Josh Jacobs as the

131
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: focal points and I don't care whatever order, if he's

132
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: number one or Josh Jakos number one. Those guys have

133
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: to touch the ball, and for whatever reason, they're not

134
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: getting it done. Some of that maybe use the era

135
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: in terms of Jimmy Garoppolo able to push it outside.

136
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: But if I'm a guy who has been an All

137
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: Pro player, a guy who is really viewed as wide

138
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: receiver won in the National Football League, to go in

139
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: an entire half without getting the ball in those things,

140
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: the frustration says in and to continue to lose games

141
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: when you haven't been a big part of the offensive puzzle. Yeah,

142
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: the frustration I'm sure is kind of boiling over, and

143
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: at some point Josh McDaniels has to make a change.

144
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: They had a team meeting last week. I don't know

145
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: what's after the team meeting, because once you have the

146
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: team meeting and you air it out, there's nothing else

147
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: that can be done. This is situation critical in Las Vegas.

148
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: This is a team that is trending in the wrong direction.

149
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: One of the double moves will stutter go. That's a

150
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: sixty yard touchdown. Buck, He's ten yards in the clear.

151
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: They targeted him seven times and they tried to get him.

152
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: The football quarterback can't get it there So at what

153
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: point time do we just say this is this is

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: not it's not gonna work. You know, we were excited

155
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Grofthlo reuniting with Josh McDaniels. He's not good

156
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: enough when the sacks taken in the completion numbers are indistinguishable. Buck,

157
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: that's a problem when you've got ten completions and you're

158
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: taking ten and six sacks and you're missing lay up

159
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: home run balls and you're throwing interceptions, turn the ball over, Like,

160
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: what are we doing. Let's let's get a chance, Let's

161
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: look at a and O'Connell, see what he can do,

162
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: and let's go forward with a young guy at least

163
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: have some hope for the future. It's it's been, uh,

164
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: it's been underneath the surface for DeVante Adams. I know

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: he slammed the helmet, but I thought he was reserved

166
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: in his comments after the game. I can't imagine he's

167
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna stay reserved. This is a guy who signed up

168
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: to go play with his best friend, his college buddy,

169
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, and had visions of you know, catching a

170
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: zillion balls and putting up big numbers and winning games

171
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: and why they're three and five, and they've been you know,

172
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: somewhat competitive, quarterback plays terrible. So I mean, I don't know.

173
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like you've got to you've got

174
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: to go in another direction. I know you gave Jimmy

175
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: a little money, I know you committed to him, but

176
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: this is just he's not good enough. I don't know

177
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: how else to say it.

178
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: No, he hasn't been good. He hasn't been what everyone thought.

179
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: We thought he would jump in, pick up the system

180
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: and go and even though it's been a while since

181
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: he's played for Josh McDaniels in this system, we thought

182
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: that it would be a smoother transition, and it hasn't worked.

183
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: And this team, I don't want to say, I mean

184
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: they are wasting games because this team is good enough

185
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: to play much better. Their record could be and should

186
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: be flipped. They should be a five and three team,

187
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: maybe even a six and two team, but they have

188
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: not taken advantage of the opportunities that are there. And

189
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: at some point we can talk about the quarterback, but

190
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: the guys are gonna look at the head coach and

191
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: they're looking at him to solve the problems.

192
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: And if he doesn't have any answers.

193
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: Man, Mark Davis is gonna have to make a really

194
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: difficult decision whether to keep Josh McDaniels and continue to

195
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: go down this road or to maybe go somewhere else.

196
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: But I don't know the head Gruden now they had

197
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: Josh mc daniels. I don't know what this looks like,

198
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: but it doesn't look like it needs to look for

199
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: the Raiders to be a playoff contender year after year.

200
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously was kind of an ugly end there goes

201
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: without saying to the end of the Gruden era, but

202
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: that was a team that was a playoff team. Was

203
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: kind of true ending in the right direction. They were offense,

204
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, an offense that was fun to watch and

205
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of you could envision this working for you know,

206
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: going in the future for a period of time. And

207
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: now it's like, man, this is hard to get first

208
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: downs right now for this team when you have an

209
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: offensive head coach. That's not a good look. It is

210
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of what I'm getting at there, all right. For

211
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: the first time ever, the NFL kicks off in Frankfurt, Germany,

212
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: with Sunday Morning football exclusively on NFL Network. It is

213
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a must see AFC Showdown as the Dolphins take on

Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Rise, Shine, and watch on Sunday, November fifth,

00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: at nine thirty am Eastern only on NFL Network and

00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: streaming on NFL Plus. How about that matchup That is

217
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: going to be an awesome game there from Frankfurt, Germany.

218
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: And today we're going to use a little bit of

219
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: a trade deadline theme here. Buck. We've got a couple

220
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: of trades as we're recording this that have already taken place,

221
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: and let's get to those. Let's start first of all,

222
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams that came down yesterday. He has traded from

223
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: the Giants. He goes to the Seattle Seahawks. Just your

224
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on the move for both teams and what that

225
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: means for their defense.

226
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: Well, one Pete.

227
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: Carroll looking back at his time at USC and taking

228
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: the USC legend and Leonard Williams, even though he didn't

229
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: necessarily coach him, he understands who he is and what

230
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: he was about and what he means to the university.

231
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: And so he takes a player who has had a

232
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: level of success in the National Football League, but he

233
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: needs a fresh start.

234
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: You put him in this defense.

235
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: A guy who can play inside and give you sack production,

236
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: high effort guy. He just kind of needs to be

237
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: put in the right situation where he can get home

238
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: and makes him disrupt the plays when now he's going

239
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: to have that, and so I like that. I like

240
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: what the Seattle se have done the last couple of weeks.

241
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: You talk about him bringing over Frank Clark, what they're

242
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: trying to do to kind of revamp this defensive front.

243
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll wants to get back to playing the way

244
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: they played during the Legion of Booms Heyday. And the

245
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: only way you can do that you got to have

246
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: lots of bodies upfront, lots of bodies that can take

247
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: over the game much like they did in the early

248
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: twenty tens.

249
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, passing League, I think a lot of people.

250
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: You look at a defensive lineman transaction, you see the

251
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: compensation there with a two and a five. That's not cheap.

252
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: And Leonard Williams, to me though, it's what he's going

253
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: to be able to do to get you to those

254
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: pass rush downs. It's being stout at the point of attack.

255
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has always valued that. He's always understood, you know,

256
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: having some bigs upfront to be able to stop the

257
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: run and then be able to cut your edge loose

258
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: against the pass and play kind of that fearless role

259
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: off the ball style. So I think he fits stylistically.

260
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: This is a defensive front that lost another trojan in

261
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: Chennanuoso to injury, So you replace the trojan with the

262
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: trojan obviously different positions, but you just add him to

263
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: that defensive front. Frank Clark comes in there as well.

264
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: It also signals to me that this is a Seahawks

265
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: team that sees this division buck is one that everybody

266
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: assumed that forty nine ers would run away with. They

267
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: see this division as winnable and their positioned perfectly right now.

268
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are positioned perfectly, and this is a team

269
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: that has a lot of confidence and Pete Carroll kind

270
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: of understands what it is when it comes to this

271
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: rivalry that.

272
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: They have with the forty nine ers.

273
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: We talked about the arms race that is in the NFC,

274
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: and the arms race that we've talked about is the

275
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles looking out west and seeing what the Niners

276
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: are doing in them competing back and forth, well the

277
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: Pacific Northwest. The Seattle Seahawks are looking down at the

278
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: nine and saying, hey, don't sleep on us. We're gonna

279
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: add some some weapons to the arsenal that will give

280
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: us an opportunity to maybe quietly steal the division and

281
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 3: put us in a situation where we can go toe

282
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: to toe with the Philadelphia Eagles. I like the moves,

283
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: I like the aggress on us DJ. We've talked about it.

284
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: I think there should be more trades in the National

285
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: Football League. I love the John Snyder and company. Those

286
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: guys are willing to kind of think outside the box

287
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: and add pieces to the team building puzzle that gives

288
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: them a chance to really compete at the highest level.

289
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna put you on the spot, no warning,

290
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: and I know you love it when I do this.

291
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: If you have got to win a game tomorrow, and

292
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: you've got your choice of Geno Smith or brock Purty,

293
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: who you taking tomorrow games tomorrow?

294
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: Look, I'm still going lean towards brock Pretty because of

295
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: the supporting cast and those things. I like Gino and

296
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: those things. I'm still in that all the way off

297
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: the brock Pretty bus. But it is getting close. He's

298
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: getting tight. He's coming back to me. So I'm Brock

299
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: pretty in the nine ers.

300
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would too. I would stick with Brock Purty.

301
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: I know this is that like Recncy bias. You could say,

302
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, it looked great lately. I would still

303
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, I would still lean in that direction. I

304
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: think the forty nine ers still end up winning this division.

305
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: But man, the Seahawks are. They're right there at the top,

306
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: and they seize this opportunity to try and add to

307
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: their ball club and see if that can push them

308
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: all the way over the top. All right, another move

309
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: that just went down. Montes Sweat and talks a lot

310
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: about him being on the trade block, and he's been traded.

311
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: He's gone. He goes to Chicago Bears, a team that

312
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: I just saw Buck. I just talked about this yesterday

313
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: about how talent challenged, let's use that phrase. This Bears

314
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: team is, especially on the defensive line, they just not

315
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: There's nobody you worry about there. So the cost, though,

316
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: is what I want to get to. It is a

317
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: second round pick. Montes Sweats never had double digit sacks.

318
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Came into the league in twenty nineteen. You know, you

319
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: look at the sack total numbers and I know there's

320
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: more to it than just sacks. But seven nine, five, eight,

321
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: six and a half eighty liked the trade for the

322
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: for the Bears and b was it too much that

323
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: they gave up?

324
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: No, it's not too much.

325
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: Because we talked about a team that doesn't have any talent.

326
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: You said, they saw it on Sunday night. They don't

327
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: have enough upfront to do what Matt Eberflusch wants to do,

328
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 3: and so to get a player. It was a first

329
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: round pick, a high motor player, a guy who by

330
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: all accounts has been really, really good in the locker room.

331
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: I slid teammate, Yeah, they need to do that. You

332
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: want to see the production. And I will say this

333
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: because we say it. With wide receivers and other things,

334
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: it's hard to project a number two to be at

335
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: number one at any position. So I would not expect

336
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: montes Witt to be the point on the sword when

337
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: it comes to their pass rush. But he gives them

338
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,239
Speaker 3: someone who can get to the quarterback where the opportunity

339
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: presents itself. Maybe he will be unleashed and maybe he'll

340
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: play in a better role. This is when Matt eberflows

341
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: needed somebody. But they're gonna need some other people along

342
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: that defensive front to eventually play the.

343
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: Style that they want to play under him.

344
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna do a little exercise with you here,

345
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: because if it ended today, the season end of today,

346
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: that pick would be the thirty fifth pick. So I

347
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: pulled up the edge rushers that were drafted over the

348
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: last few years. So I'm gonna give you guys that

349
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: were picked in that neighborhood. Okay, just to give you

350
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: a sense of who you know, maybe the opportunity you

351
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: gave up here, Here's who the guys are. Thirty first

352
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: pick this year was felix en A dk Uzama with

353
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You go to. The fortieth pick was Isaiah

354
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Foski at a Notre Dame. He goes to the Saints,

355
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: you go back the year before that. The thirtieth pick

356
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: was Carl Loftis, The forty sixth pick was Josh Pascal.

357
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one, Rousseau was the thirtieth pick. Twenty twenty

358
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: you tiar, gross Matos was the thirty eighth pick. So

359
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: you see what I'm getting. You're not seeing anybody on

360
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: that list that you're like, WHOA like that man? We

361
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: missed out on one here, some solid players in there,

362
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: But I think that when you look at what's going

363
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: to be available with that pick, I think Montes Sweater

364
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: is an established player, even though you got a PAM

365
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: going into the future here, probably tagg him if you

366
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: don't get him done, but then get a long term

367
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: deal done. I understand it. I would say I don't

368
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: love it, Buck, but I understand it. I don't think

369
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: it was a bad move.

370
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand it.

371
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: And also like we haven't necessarily looked all the way

372
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: ahead to the next used draft class to kind of

373
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: be able to assess what MONTESWD looks like against some

374
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: of the top second round prospects that could be available.

375
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: But this makes a lot of sense.

376
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: When you talked about those names, DJ, all those names

377
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: that you read off, there was no one that kind

378
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: of got me going, got me excited, like, yeah, let's

379
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: go see this guy rush the password.

380
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: So if the Bears took that approach.

381
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: Where they kind of weighed what normally goes in the

382
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: second round versus what they could have in Mantes Wet,

383
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: it's very a sensible deal on their end, and a

384
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: second round pick is nice and you want that got

385
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: to be a start of a snow guarantees on the

386
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: swap Dad to get a guy who's going to be

387
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: a starter for them, and hopefully a good starter for them,

388
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: given the conversation they gave up for.

389
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan Pols taking his swings did not work out

390
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: well last year when he made the trade for Chase Claypool.

391
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: That experiment has already come to an en in Pittsburgh

392
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: ends up getting a high second round pick. Worked out

393
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: great for the Steelers. Hopefully this one works out a

394
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: little bit better. I think Montes swept much more proven

395
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: than Chase Claypool was at that time. All Right, one

396
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: more move here we'll get to, and that is Chase Young.

397
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: He gets traded from the Washington Commanders to the San

398
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers, which shouldn't be a surprise if

399
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you've been listening to us. We've been talking about the

400
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: forty nine ers making a move. They had cap space,

401
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: You had the history of what they've done at the deadline,

402
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: including last year with a big move for Christian McCaffrey,

403
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: how that paid off. You have the arms race that

404
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: we've discussed with them in the Philadelphia Eagles, and you're

405
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: coming off some losses It was kind of a perfect storm.

406
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: And on top of that, you've got extra draft picks,

407
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: including some an extra third round pick because you have

408
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: Ran Carthon who gets hired as the general manager of

409
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, so they're going to get a comp

410
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: pick for that one. And Demiko Ryans got hired as well,

411
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: so they have extra picks. It was a third round

412
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: pick for Chase Young, which for somebody who's having his

413
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: best year of his career. He's been injured a bunch

414
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: and he's been a little bit underwhelming, but he's healthy

415
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: this year, he's in a contract year, he's highly motivated,

416
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: and now he is reunited with his college teammate, the

417
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State Buckeyes with Bosa so Nick Bosa, Chase Young, Armstead, Hardgrave.

418
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: That is you know, that's quite the defensive front that

419
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: they have there with John Lynch pulling the trigger on

420
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: this move to bring in Chase Young. So I like

421
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: that one. A big one in Washington is sellers, the

422
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: big sellers. They sell off both edge rushers Montes Wet

423
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: and Chase Young, and it looks like they are looking

424
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: towards the future. They've already paid both defensive tackles, So

425
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play some young end. It's gonna

426
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: have to draft some young ends next year. But interesting,

427
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: interesting move. All right, we're gonna take a little break

428
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: when we come back. We're gonna look at the NFC

429
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: and the teams that are vying for that final seed,

430
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: that seventh seed, and see if we can't find a

431
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: winner in that bunch. We'll do that right after this.

432
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the playoff field

433
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: here in the NFC and looking at the teams competing

434
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: for that seventh spot. Look, eight games, that's a good

435
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: chunk that we can look at here. If the season

436
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: end of today, it would be the Minnesota Vikings obviously

437
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: just lost Kirk Cousins there. Buck. But then this next

438
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: group of teams, you've got the Saints, the Bucks, the Rams,

439
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: the Commanders, and the Packers, and the Packers generously making

440
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: this board as a two to five team. So when

441
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: you look at these teams, the Commanders, as we've discussed,

442
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: they've already they've already sold, the Giants have sold Leonard Williams.

443
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: They've had quarterback health issues. So if we're saying the

444
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: Commanders and the Giants maybe not trending in the right

445
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: directtion to chase this down. I guess of the teams

446
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: if we were to say Vikings, the Kirk Cousins list

447
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: of Vikings, the Saints, the Bucks, the Rams, those to

448
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: me feel like the teams in the mix. Is there

449
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: one that you prefer and you feel confident about.

450
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: I would go with the Saints in this scenario.

451
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: And what you're looking for is a combination that a

452
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: couple of things we always talk about DJ You're looking

453
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: for a quarterback and you're looking for a defense that

454
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 3: can rush the pass, and so the Saints would give

455
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: me the best combination of both.

456
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: Derek Carr is.

457
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 3: A mid to mid high level quarterback. I would say,

458
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 3: like a friend's top ten quarterback. I think that you

459
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: can win with him. Offensively, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara

460
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: and those guys, I think you must have enough points

461
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: to be competitive in most games. But defensively, that's where

462
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: they really can make their Hey, you think about Cam

463
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: Jordan Honey Badger to Mario Davis, Marshawn Lattimore. They have

464
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 3: four veteran players that are blue chip players that can

465
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: make it happen. So in this race, when you talk

466
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: about those teams racing for the seventh seed, the Saints

467
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: to me are better positioned than any of those because

468
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: they have veteran defense that knows how to make plays

469
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: when plays are needed, and then they.

470
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: Have a quarterback. They should be able to get this

471
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 2: offense over the line.

472
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually think it comes down to the Saints

473
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: and the Bucks. So you hit on the Saints, all

474
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: hit on the Bucks. Like the Bucks are in a

475
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a skid right now, but as you

476
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of look at the schedule and how it unfolds,

477
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance to kind of get

478
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: back on track here. And well, I don't necessarily love

479
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation there, It's okay, it's you know, there's

480
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: a lot worse out there in the league right now,

481
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: and they do have some veterans on the defensive side

482
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 1: of the ball. We'll see what happens. As we're recording

483
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 1: this at the trade deadline, they haven't sold off any

484
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: of their pieces, so hopefully that doesn't screwed me over

485
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: and end up selling. But at this point in time,

486
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: I think they have enough offensive firepower they're going to

487
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: stay in this thing. I like the Rams in terms

488
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: of you know, some of the way they've played, the

489
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: way they're coached. But Stafford's health worries me going off

490
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: into the future here, and I just don't know if

491
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: they have enough pieces on the defensive side of the ball.

492
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: They're fun to watch on offense, I just don't know

493
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: if they're good enough there. And you add into that

494
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: buck the division that they're in, you know, a tough

495
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: one there. So to me, those feel like the two

496
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: And let's wait and see what the Vikings look like

497
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: with a new quarterback. Obviously, don't want to rule them out.

498
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: I thought with Kirk Cousins, they're clearly the class of

499
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: this group of teams.

500
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're clearly the class man, and I won't discount

501
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: or dismiss their chances.

502
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: Of being able to do it.

503
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: I'm a big believer in Brian Floores and what he's

504
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 3: able to do with this defense. This defense man, they

505
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: wear you out. They cover zero pressure scheme that he's

506
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 3: been utilizing. They they've given good teams problems and so

507
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 3: more pressure on them to probably generate more turnovers keep

508
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 3: the score down as they're trying to figure out what

509
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: to do offensively. I wouldn't dismiss the chances, but it'd

510
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: be interesting to see what did they do at quarterback.

511
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: Can they price somebody, anybody away from a team that

512
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 3: is willing to give up a quarterback. I don't know,

513
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: But if they have a quarterback, just a decent quarterback,

514
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: I think you can lock.

515
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 2: This team in as a seven seed in the NFC.

516
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: When I get back to the Bucks here real quick,

517
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: here's their group of games they've got coming up. They

518
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: are at Houston, that's a winnable game. Tennessee at home,

519
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: winnable game, now you look at it. At the Niners,

520
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: that's a rough one. But then back after that at

521
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: the Colts, Carolina, Atlanta, Green Bay. I mean, there's a

522
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: lot of winnables on here. For Tampa. They've got to

523
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: get right here. This next month, November is big for them.

524
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: They've got to get back on track having lost three

525
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: games in a row, a couple of them very close

526
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: to Atlanta and Buffalo. But I like the Bucks to

527
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: stay in this thing. I think it's going to come

528
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: down to those two teams. I think it's the Saints

529
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: and the Bucks in that fight for that seventh seed.

530
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it all shakes out. We'll keep

531
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: an eye on this as we go through the rest

532
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: of the year. All right, let's get to the rookies.

533
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: Can we do the rookies? Don't I don't want to

534
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: spend too much time talking about last week. It was

535
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: not great for the both of us. Gibbs three points

536
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: for Rhett, Addison, three points for HTT, Laporta three points

537
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: for Rhett. He crushed us. He got the top guy

538
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: at every single position. Buck, you end up getting two

539
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: points with Bijon and JSN. I got a big fat one.

540
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: Dalton Kin kid got me one point as the second

541
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: performing tight end. If you look at where we are

542
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: for the season, worst hide Buck thirty three apiece and

543
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Rhett has closed the gap. He's at twenty nine. So

544
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's bringing down our neck. But we've got it.

545
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: We've got to bounce back this week. I like our chances.

546
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna, first of all, before I start

547
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: us off with the first pick of those rookies. The

548
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: performances you saw from Rhtt, those three pointers, any of

549
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: them stand out to you.

550
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 3: The Detroit Lions rookies being able to do it. You know,

551
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: we talked about the rookies and the rookie impacs was.

552
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: We always talk about that on the podcast. These guys

553
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: have been phenomenal Samuel samuela Porter and Jamie Gibbs being

554
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: able to make contributions right away. This Lions team has

555
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: done a really good job the last two years putting

556
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: back to back rookie classes that have been able to

557
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: make contributions right away. But these two guys offensively, I

558
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: don't know if anybody thought that they would come like this.

559
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 3: People thought Jamiy Gis would make an impact with sam

560
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: Laport have been able to make plays stretch the defense

561
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 3: as a vertical stretch play maker down the middle of

562
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 3: the field. He is being better than advertised. Man, this

563
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: Lions team is kind of creeping into title contention status

564
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: because of their young players playing really really well from

565
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: day one.

566
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: And Jamier Gibbs, going back through some of my notes

567
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: on him, Gosh, he ran four three six coming out.

568
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: I had fashion in the backfield in the slot, jet

569
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: sweeps burst, He's a slasher. I'm not really in move

570
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: the pile runner. He's got natural hands, excellent the screen game,

571
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: big time FBI so Football Intelligence and pass Pro and

572
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: it was kind of going back through and looking at

573
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: him and who he reminded me of coming out, and

574
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: I had a little bit of kind of that little

575
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: bit of Jamal Charles vibe to him, even a little

576
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: bit of Chris Johnson, like just when he gets out

577
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: in the open field. He's got a different gear now,

578
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: not quite the home run speed that Chris Johnson had,

579
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: but he can go big time, big time dude. All right,

580
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: I've got the first pick today, buck, this is rebound week.

581
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 1: I've got to get back, got to get right. And

582
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the buys here and I'm seeing what

583
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Jamir Gibbs having a bye. I'm gonna go Bijon with

584
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: the first pick. I'm gonna see if I can get

585
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: get a point here. Three uh three for first place,

586
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: right one for second. So I'm gonna go be Jeon

587
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: Robinson with the first pick. You're up next.

588
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's tough, like the bid week's factory in

589
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: And I'm just sitting here thinking.

590
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: Like what who can I lean on? Who can I

591
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: depend on? My guy? My guys are done. Let me

Speaker 2: of me.

00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: Let's see if I can take Seattle up this week,

595
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: Can I take Zach Charboney? Can I try to seattle

605
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: said he's gonna go CJ. Stroud for Rep. So he's

606
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna take the first quarterback off the board and then

607
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: he's got another one here. When are we going Jordan Addison?

608
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: Oh so so we're back to quarterback doing quarterbacks this week.

609
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: We're back to quarterback. We're back to quarterbacks and then

610
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: pass catchers. So we're combining the wide receivers and the

00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: tight ends. So hey, well dude, you've got options here,

618
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: Okay, So now the guy and me, after seeing Will

619
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: Levis throw four touchdowns, would be like, let's go Will.

620
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 3: I feel like the football guys won't reward me though,

621
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: based on some of my pre draft commentary. However, I'm

622
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 3: kind of shake and I'm gonna say, Will Levis, let's go.

623
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 3: Let's see Will Levis can go and give you some

624
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: points this week for the Tennessee Titans.

625
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I like it. I'm gonna double check

626
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: and see who who my guy is playing here this

627
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: next one. I got a lot of love from Panthers fans,

628
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: by the way, is picking them to win last week.

629
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: There was not a lot of people on that Panthers bandwagon.

630
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: I believe buck they got their first one. I'm gonna

631
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take I've got no choice really taking Bryce,

632
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: taking Bryce Young with my next pick. They are playing

633
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: against the Colts there at home, So I've got Bryce

634
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: Young with that pick. Now I need a pass catcher,

635
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: and I mean, why why go away from Pooka. When

636
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: Pooka has been this good to me, I'm gonna stick

637
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: with Pooka. Nakua that leaves you Buck, you are.

638
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: That that leaves me?

639
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: Well, I really don't have a choice because like the

640
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: way that I'm going, I can't take two Seahawks, I

641
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: don't want to take Jess and I feel like I've

642
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: rolled a dice in one last week. Let's go with

643
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: Zave Flowers to see if za Flowers can do something

644
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: this week.

645
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it, and then gosh, hold on, I

646
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: think I'm hearing in my ear that I've got an

647
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: interesting pick from rhet here. He's got the running back

648
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: that he still needs. He is going to go with

649
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: Imari de Mercado from the Cardinals, who has one hundred

650
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: and ninety five rushing yards this year. He's got a touchdown,

651
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: So I believe that's the first time, right, first first

652
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: edition for him. Yeah, on the on the draft, so

653
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: de Marcatto, welcome. Rett's not here and he's swinging for

654
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: the fences. I don't know. Drew might have gone rogue

655
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: on that one. I don't know if Drew are you?

656
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Are you ken?

657
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: We'll see, well, we'll see. Well, we'll see if Rhett

658
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: had any influence on it. We take some live Hey man,

659
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: you sure you want the Cardinals right bit?

660
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: You know?

661
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went for it. Of course, Drew has said

662
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: that on the list that RHTT sent in with his stack,

663
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: with his order of players to draft, that he had

664
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: a couple of guys around buys. So Rett not doing

665
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: his homework. It's too bad. It's too bad, Buck. He

666
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: might have lost an opportunity for some points there. All right,

667
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's going to do it for the rookie

668
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: draft again. We'll tabulate these next week and we'll update

669
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: the standings and see if Ritt can completely close the

670
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: gap here. He's within striking distance for sure. All right,

671
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for us today. Fun one did
