00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: But then the.

11
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Championship games, college football, getting a chance to see all

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: these great teams, get a chance to really dig into

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: some of these players that'll be in the draft.

14
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: All of that happens.

15
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: It always happens around this time a year, right after Thanksgiving,

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: And man, we're at the time.

17
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: It should be fun.

18
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, Heads up, Draft, heads up.

19
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of working my way through this list

20
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: right now. I'm starting with offensive lineman Buck. I'm just

21
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: doing through the tackles. This is gonna be one of

22
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: the best tackle drafts that I can remember. Like, if

23
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: you are a NFL team and you need offensive tackle help,

24
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: this is you're gonna love this draft. I mean, I've

25
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: I've already done about seven of them that are first

26
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: round caliber players. I mean, and so in a league

27
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: that's starved for offensive lineman, I think this draft, as

28
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: much as we're gonna talk about the quarterbacks, is go

29
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: to the spring the headliners. This is a draft where

30
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: these teams that all need offensive lineman, they're gonna love

31
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 2: this draft.

32
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in more teams. You talk about it

33
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: being a copycat league. When you look at the teams

34
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: that are at the top, they're dominating the trenches. I mean,

35
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: we can't talk enough about the Niners, the Eagles and

36
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: some of the other teams. The resurgence they yeah, I

37
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: mean like they have trench warriors. And so if you're

38
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: going to invest in the bigs, you need to know

39
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: the bigs.

40
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: You need to put a lot of time in the bigs.

41
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I find it interesting that you decided to start your

42
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: study looking at offensive linemen. Going all the way back

43
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: to when I worked in Seattle with John Snyder and

44
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: those guys, we always started eye evaluations with the offensive

45
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: tackles and then kind of worked away from the bigs

46
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: to the littles.

47
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

48
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: By the way, the reason that I do that is

49
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: not there's no riot. There's no like deep philosophical reason

50
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: other than when you're watching offensive Linman, I only got

51
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: to watch the end zone cut. I don't have to

52
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: watch the Lions, so I can go. I feel like

53
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm a cop. I can feel like I accomplished something.

54
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: I'm just getting them done, just one after another after

55
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: another after another. But by the way, by the way,

56
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: we'll get to we'll get to more draft stuff further

57
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: on in the spring here. But I would say this, man,

58
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: what a bummer for the PAC twelve because, like, I

59
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: don't remember seeing this many good offensive linement in the

60
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: PAC twelve as the conference is getting ready to go away.

61
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: And I bet you a lot of these Pac twelve

62
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 2: teams wish they had these guys to take them as

63
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: they move into their new conferences next year. But it

64
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: is a really good year for Pac twelve trench play.

65
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: Best I've seen a long time.

66
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean not only that, I mean this is talk

67
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: about overall pack filth play. It's been one of the

68
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: best years that we've seen. You talk about the two

69
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: teams that are playing in the championship game, Washington and Oregon,

70
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: Oregon State with solid Arizona's good yeah, Arizona bounce back.

71
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many good players good teams. Utah

72
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: is always pretty good and it's unfortunate that it is

73
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: going away because, you know, man life as we know

74
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: it on the road like no longer exists.

75
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting to see.

76
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: How everyone breaks up their maps and whatever they're going

77
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: to do when it comes to trying to figure out

78
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: who they want to see and how they're going to

79
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: get there.

80
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: It's changed, not the same.

81
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, rip to the PAC twelve. All right, Today

82
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about that game of the week

83
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Niners and the Eagles. Also going to

84
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: do a little Bucky's Coaches Corner, which the word today

85
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: is urgency, So we'll dig into that. But we start,

86
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: as we always do on this Thursday pod, with our

87
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,080

Speaker 2: Stroud the top of the list, where he's maintained a

90
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: pretty healthy position on a weekly basis. Again, this is

00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: kicker for New Orleans Blake group, and then you've got

95
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: Aidan O'Connell who had a solid day for the Raiders.

96
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Those are the top individual players, and then the teams

97
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: Buck Packers, Texans, Rams, Giants and Bucks. I want to

98
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: talk to you a little bit about the Rams. We've

99
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: we've we touched on them previously about how they're playing

100
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: so many young guys and playing so well. I reached

101
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 2: out to Less to Less Need yesterday we're talking about

102
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: some other stuff and I asked him about all these

103
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: young guys, like getting these young guys up and running,

104
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: and he used he used the phrase, we did our

105
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: best to identify guys who love it and guys who

106
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: can learn it, especially on the offensive side of the ball,

107
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: like because with Sean McVay in that offense, like you

108
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: cannot you got to be sharp. So they they those

109
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: were kind of the specific things. And then guys that

110
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: will you know if because if you love it, even

111
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: if you aren't as great at the learning, like you're

112
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: okay your average on the learning, if you love it,

113
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: you'll put in the work to be able to figure

114
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: it out. But I think so many times we talk

115
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: about this prospect evaluation and can they you know, can

116
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: they change direction? And at the end of the day,

117
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: if you love it and you learn it, we can

118
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: we can work around that a little bit.

119
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't work around because, like the passion is

120
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, and people that are passionate about

121
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: the game, they're gonna do whatever it takes. You don't

122
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: have to ask them to come over and get a

123
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: little film and you don't have to ask them to

124
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: come over and maybe can participate in a walk through

125
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: or some things that are going to help them understand

126
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: what we're putting in the game plan this week and

127
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: DJ at the end of the day, the game is

128
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: so hard that if you're a coach or a team builder,

129
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: you want to go down with guys that are just

130
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: as invested in the process as you are. You don't

131
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: want to go down with the guy that comes in

132
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: five minutes before meetings start and leaves five minutes after

133
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: practice concludes.

134
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: You want someone who is going to be there.

135
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: And so I do understand what Less is saying when

136
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: he talks about being able to love it and learn it,

137
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: because the love.

138
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: Is everything and everyone will talk about that.

139
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: And you knew we used to have to ask all

140
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: these questions and prospects of the combine.

141
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I love it. I love the game. I want

142
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: to do this.

143
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: But it's being able to really track their pattern of

144
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: behavior to see do they exhibit the qualities of someone

145
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: who really really loves it.

146
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: How much does it mean to them?

147
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: What is their preparations as like, because out of all

148
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: those things, when we ask those questions, you really begin

149
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: to figure out if guys really love the game and

150
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: love all the things that you have to do to

151
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: be really good at this game.

152
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think about all the picks that they had

153
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: last year, Well, they have like fourteen draft picks something

154
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: crazy like that. They had an unbelievable number of draft picks.

155
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at for next year not only have

156
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: a first round or you know, for the first time

157
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: and forever they're picking. If the season ended today, they'd

158
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: be picking fourteenth. But they've got a two, they've got

159
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: a three. They have this is where they do their magic.

160
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: They've got two fives, They've got one, two, three or

161
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: five sixes in next year's draft due to all the

162
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: compicks that are going to be becoming their way. But

163
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: I think, you know, maybe they take the first round,

164
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: second round guys put them in their own category. If

165
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: you if I was a GM, if you're a GM,

166
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: I think we would be smart enough to know. Man,

167
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: let's identify the teams with the hit rates in the fourth, fifth,

168
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: sixth rounds. Who are those teams? Who are players they're picking?

169
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: What do they have in common? And what can we

170
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: learn from them? Like that would be a team that

171
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: would be one. Seattle historically over the years has been

172
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: another one who's done really good job in that portion

173
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: of the draft. What is it about that? And I

174
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: think that's part of the equation. What they you know,

175
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: we just talked about, you know, do they love it?

176
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Can they learn it? No?

177
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: So it's funny going all the way back we're talking

178
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: about the Rams. But I'll use a story from one

179
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: of your former teams to Baltimore Ravens as an example.

180
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: When I was with the Carolina Panthers and even before

181
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: that with the Seattle Seahawks. At the time, the Ravens

182
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: had a great hit rate when it came to free agents,

183
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: like undrafted free agents, like they just found a way

184
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: to do it. I think you've told me how the

185
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: Ravens would offer you five hundred dollars in opportunity.

186
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Five hundred bucks and a chance. That's all I got

187
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: to offer you.

188
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: And but it worked out.

189
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: When you think about so many free agents that were

190
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: able to kind of scratch out NFL careers starting in Baltimore,

191
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: and so we studied that process and what was it

192
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: about and how they put those guys on the field.

193
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: So when you look at the Rams and you talk

194
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: about the success that they've had in those third round

195
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: or lowers, third round or lower like in terms of

196
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: depicts they brought in and how those guys are playing,

197
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: there's something to what they're doing. And so you want

198
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: to pick their brain. You want to see other guys

199
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: are playing, and you want to make those observations no

200
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: different than if you were a team in need of

201
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, just Likeak what the Pittsburgh still is

202
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: doing because they've always found a way to do it.

203
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: There's certain teams that have a recipe for being able

204
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: to produce certain players at certain positions and they can

205
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: just uncover it and it's because they have a criteria

206
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: and a process that works for them.

207
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: Had no doubt.

208
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: Although the Steelers, for all the hit rate on whiteouts,

209
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: they now have a small collection of guys over the

210
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: years that if I would say they've expired their time

211
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: there in Pittsburgh. I mean you think about Antonio Brown.

212
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: I don't remember with Santonio how that ended.

213
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: If I mean, I mean it was still some of that,

214
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: but like now, all of them were edgy.

215
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: When they came in.

216
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: They all had They punished him, that didn't fit him,

217
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: It didn't it didn't work, but they were able to

218
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: get great production for a long time for the wire.

219
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: He was did they draft and they weren't taking guys

220
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: in the first round they had It was something about

221
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 4: their process, something about playing for that team that allowed

222
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: them to have guys to really step up and really

223
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: embrace I mean going all the way bet Martatos, Brian

224
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: and some of the other guys that they grew.

225
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 3: They had a lot of success. They've been able to

226
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: find receivers.

227
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And then Deontay Johnson will see what

228
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: happens with him in the off season. That was not

229
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: a great look for him the other day, but he's

230
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: been a he's been a good player for them. And

231
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: the Claypool thing, man, you could say it didn't work out.

232
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: They got the thirty second pick in the draft for

233
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: the guy, so they they were able to cut their

234
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: losses there and actually come away with a tremendous asset.

235
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: So I think that's I think smart teams do that.

236
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: I think you look at different areas of talent acquisition,

237
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: look at who's doing it well, study them. What can

238
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: you learn. I think that's something that smart teams will do.

239
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take a quick break. When we

240
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: come back, Buck, we are going to jump into the

241
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: game of the week. It might be the game of

242
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: the year, the one that we've both been talking about

243
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: for a long time and looking forward to. That is

244
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 2: the Eagles hosting the Niners. We'll get into that right

245
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: after this.

246
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: It's time for the MCS Game of the Week, presented

247
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: by DraftKings Sportsbook. This week is the forty nine Ers

248
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: at the Eagles. The spread is minus three favoring the

249
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. The over under is forty seven DJ.

250
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: We can talk about this in a bunch of different ways,

251
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: but from any value Waiter standpoint, man, this is musty TV.

252
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to curl up, figure out, let's watch this

253
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: game because we will learn so many team building lessons

254
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: from watching these two teams get it on this weekend.

255
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we talk about building your team

256
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: up front, and nobody exemplifies that better than these two teams.

257
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean they are outstanding in the trenches both sides.

258
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: Not only talent like Premier talent, but depth as well.

259
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: There's so many great individual matchups when you look across

260
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: the board. How about the matchup of Kelsey going up

261
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: against his former teammate in Hargrave. I think those guys

262
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 2: don't know each other really well, that's going to be

263
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: a great battle. Think about Johnson and Nick Bosa going

264
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: at it. You flip it over to the other side,

265
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: You've got Trent Williams against Hassan Reddick or Trent Williams

266
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: against Josh Sweat. I mean, there are so many intriguing

267
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: matchups in this game. If I'm going to phrase it

268
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: this way, Buck, where would you say Where would you

269
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: say that you give the edge to the forty nine ers,

270
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: Like if the forty nine ers in their favorite as

271
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned, in this game, forty nine ers win this game,

272
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: it will be because of whoo.

273
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: Man. It's tough because I think these teams are very

274
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: very similar.

275
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: I would say that if the forty nine Ers win

276
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: is because their defensive front, their front line, They're new

277
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: and improved front line takes over and controls the game.

278
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: It allows them to be.

279
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Able to play coverage so they can match up with

280
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: the like the skill that the Eagles have on the

281
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: perimeter Chase Young, Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrays. If those guys

282
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: are able to dominate at the point of attack, that's

283
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: their best path to victory because then it gives them

284
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: a chance to sit back and play max coverage, take

285
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: away the d balls not allowed to to.

286
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 3: Smith and A. J.

287
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: Brown to be big factors while also being able to

288
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: contain a running game in Jalen Hurts.

289
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna say for the forty nine ers, I

290
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: think the matchup it shouldn't be a surprise that favors

291
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: them the most is McCaffrey against Eagles linebackers. See Eagles linebackers.

292
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 2: They made some additions there, they've been better throughout the year,

293
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: but I still think that's a place you can attack them.

294
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: And I imagine McCaffrey will be a big part of

295
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: the passing game in this one, not just run the football.

296
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: I think you see him get a bunch of targets,

297
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: get him out in the route. See if you can't

298
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: take advantage of some of those matchups. And then on

299
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: the other side, I think we look at the Eagles offense.

300
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: I don't think the Niners have the corners to match

301
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: up with those wide receivers on a down and down

302
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: out basis. If they can't get home, if they can't

303
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: get home with their rush, I think that there's some

304
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: opportunities down the field for the Eagles through the air.

305
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: I don't really see either team, and we talk about

306
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: physical they are. I don't see either team getting smashed

307
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: in the run game in this game. I think they'll

308
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: take that away. I think it'll come down to the

309
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: passing game. And to me, I like the the Niners

310
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: with what they can do with McCaffrey as well as

311
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: Kittle working in the middle of the field, and with

312
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles, I like what they can do on the outside.

313
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

314
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: It's god man, it's such a fascinating game to watching.

315
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: To me, I think it's about watching that.

316
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: First quarter and see who's able to get the game

317
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: played on their terms.

318
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: The Eagles, I mean.

319
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: The Niners are great when they can dictate the terms

320
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: from the jump, meaning they're able to hit a couple

321
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: exposive plays with den gives them's lead. Then they can

322
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: get to the running game, and then on defense they

323
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: can start hunting the quarterback. The Eagles have been able

324
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: to really rally and finish games and win games in

325
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter without what we always say is playing

326
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: their best ball. But there's something to a team that

327
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: just knows how to win, and this team knows how

328
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: to win. Also, the Eagles will walk into this game

329
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: with a bunch of confidence because they knocked off the Niners.

330
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Then the Niners will point to, oh, the quarterback are

331
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: heard if and this and if and that. But at

332
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Eagles will be like, yep,

333
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: but you know what, we beat you, and we know

334
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: how to beat you, and we feel good about that,

335
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: Like you're not gonna bully us because we've done this

336
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: song and dance before. There's something about the advantage that

337
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: the Niners have always had coming into games where everyone

338
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: views them as the bully, where they're not going to

339
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: bully the Eagles.

340
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: So now it's going to come down to execution and

341
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: the other stuff.

342
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: And that's what makes this game such a good one,

343
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: such a fun one.

344
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: And you know I've talked about this before, but I'm

345
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: telling you there's no love lost here. This is the

346
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: best rivalry in the NFL right now.

347
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: Why why is it such a rivalry? What? What? What? What? What?

348
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: It was?

349
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: Last year?

350
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: It was?

351
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: It was? It was last year. I think that when

352
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: you have guys, when you have each of them pride

353
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: themselves being the most physical bully in the in the league,

354
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: and that's that's their mantra. And I think that the

355
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: Niners were a little chirpy coming out of that game

356
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: last year about if look, if the quarterback we don't

357
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: have the quarterback debacle, we would have won that. That

358
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,359
Speaker 2: ticked off the Eagles a little bit. And then the Eagles,

359
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: you know, didn't didn't shut up about how they beat

360
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: up the forty nine ers, like to the point where

361
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: I was told even going into the Super Bowl that

362
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles there were still players that were still talking

363
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: about the Niners when they were getting ready to play

364
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs, Like, so there's that.

365
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, then the Niners go out and get

366
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: Javon Hargrave, you know, big time player coming from one

367
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: side of the next. It feels to me like this

368
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: is the this is the modern day Cowboys Niners that

369
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: we grew up with, you know, in those nineties years.

370
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

371
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: There's definitely no love loss when it comes to these

372
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: two teams. I was just trying to figure out where

373
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: the source of this discontent.

374
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: Well, how about the head coaches? How about the head coaches?

375
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: Like I mean, the head coaches you would say, are

376
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: both very, very talented, edgy, a little cocky, a little

377
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: something that a.

378
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Lot a lot of cocky, and team takes on the

379
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: personality of the coach. And so when you see Nick

380
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: Sirianni not in his head being like you know, he

381
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: he embraces it.

382
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: Now gonna be on eleven buck, He's gonna be on eleven.

383
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: The embraces all of that. He's super confident, and he's

384
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: very competitive. He has the competitive arrogance that you like.

385
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: And then you know Kyle Shanahan has that that that.

386
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: Edge to him too.

387
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't mind twisting the dagger in when he has

388
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do so.

389
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: And what I love DJ.

390
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Like in these games, Hey you don't like me, I

391
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: don't like you, Let's play I like them. I like

392
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: when there's a little tension between the two teams, and

393
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: we'll have an opportunity to see it. And the funny thing,

394
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: these teams are so much I mean, there's.

395
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,239
Speaker 2: Even even like across the line even.

396
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: Between them. Look, I just love watching and seeing how

397
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: it plays out.

398
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I'm fascinated. To me, the right

399
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: side of the Niners offensive line worries me for them.

400
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: The linebackers and coverage worries me, uh for for the Eagles.

401
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: You know, we'll see how this shakes out. I know

402
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: one thing I I have not looked forward to a

403
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: game like this one. And we've both got good, good

404
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: buddies in both of these organizations. I respect these two

405
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: organizations as much as any in the in the NFL.

406
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: I think they do it the right way. How they

407
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: build their teams. Their coaches are outstanding, Their scouting staffs

408
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: are deep and talented, they know who they are what

409
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: they are. I just have a tremendous amount of respect

410
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: for both of them. I cannot wait for this game.

411
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: It's going to be a fun one, fun, fun watch

412
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: for everyone involved.

413
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,720

419
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, game of the weight. Cannot wait

420
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: for it. We will be recapping it next week. I

421
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: can promise you that. All right, Buck, we've got coaches

422
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: corner here today. What is our word? What is our

423
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: conversation today? What are we learning?

424
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: Urgency? Urgency? Urgency.

425
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: Urgency is the desire that your team has that you

426
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: always hear coaches talk about play fast, you know, start fast,

427
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: finish fast, all that other stuff. But it's the urgency

428
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: is understanding the moment, is bringing the right level of

429
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: what I would call focus intensity to the game because

430
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: you understand what matters and DJ.

431
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: What I love about this time of year is as

432
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: you get closer to the postseason and as you get

433
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: into the tournament.

434
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: And the games are win or go home, man, that energy,

435
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: that urgency that is needed to be able to advance.

436
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: Look at everything and as a young player man, sometimes

437
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: older players can't stress enough to younger players like how

438
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: important everything is. How you conduct yourself in this walkthrough

439
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: matters because you can see these same situations in games,

440
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: and if you're not ready, you're not gonna be able

441
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: to react and play fast and play out your shoes

442
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: and do the things that we want the urgency to play,

443
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: particularly at a championship level. Look, man, it's something that

444
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: coaches spend all offseason, all regular season, all practice time

445
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: trying to get their players to understand. And when you

446
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: get your team to kind of step up to that

447
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: standard where that urgency allows you to have a collection

448
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: of what I call asap players as soon as possible,

449
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: I need you right now, that's when your team goes

450
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: to the next level.

451
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: That's when you begin to win and win those big,

452
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: big games. I love it.

453
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: I'm like a visual thinker, Buck. So the way you're

454
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: describing that, I think of as we're kids. Remember when

455
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: we go bowling and they used to be able to

456
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: put the bumpers up in the gutters. So it's like, yeah,

457
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: you know, hey, you don't have to bullet perfectly. Your

458
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: little kid that bounces off and you're still gonna knock

459
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: down some pins, well those are down. Those are down.

460
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: So now you've got to be focused. We've got to

461
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: be able to be focused. Get this thing down the

462
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: alley because there are gutters and it could go bad.

463
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: So to me, it's it's it's the small things which

464
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: you talk about, like what we'd all say, Hey, you

465
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: know you know be physical. No, no, no, Now in

466
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: an urgency, I think of now, we're about details. Now,

467
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: it's about your first step that you're taking. Now, it's

468
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: about your eyes, it's about your hands. Like there's a

469
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: focus in a intensity with the small things, and that,

470
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: to me, I think that defines urgency. And the way

471
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: you're talking about it.

472
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: Yes, urgency is everything matters is I shouldn't even have

473
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: to coach you on the effort. But I'm talking about

474
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: like it's straining to make those plays. It's making sure

475
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: you get there right away. There's no hesitancy in how

476
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: you approach it. Look, man, if it's a doubt between

477
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: man whether I should take this shot, whether I should

478
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: hit him or not, no, you air on the side

479
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna.

480
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: Hit him and then we'll figure it out at the

481
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: end of the day.

482
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: But is just understanding, like in those moments as we

483
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: get closer to the prize. You got to raise the

484
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: intensity level. And you have to raise that intensity level

485
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: not just in games, because you can't just flip the

486
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: switch on game and say, oh, I'm gonna be urgent.

487
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: It has to be how you approach it throughout the week.

488
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: You have to ready your mind in your body to

489
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: be able to play at that level. And look, it's

490
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: something we can talk about it, but it's something that

491
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: you have to go through the process and maybe play

492
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: in one of those where you're not ready to match

493
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: that to Then you take those lessons, you're like, oh, Okay,

494
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: this is what they're talking about. When the energy and

495
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: the intensity and the urgency goes up, because the bigger

496
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: the game, the more physical the game, but also the

497
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: more urgent.

498
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: That you have to be able to play.

499
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: I think if people listening to this, and if you're

500
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 2: a coach out there, I know a lot of coaches

501
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: listen to the show here, you think about urgency, and

502
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: I know the question that people are going to ask, well,

503
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: how do I get my guys to have urgency but

504
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: then not play tight. I need them to still be

505
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: loose but be focused. And to me, that goes back

506
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: to your preparation. Whatever your preparation is if you're prepared

507
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: during the week, you can be urgent in the game

508
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: without feeling tight. The reason you're tights because you're not

509
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: confident in what you're doing. To me, if you have

510
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 2: your preparation, preparation leads to confidence. Confidence leads to being

511
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: able to play loose and free that you can still

512
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: crank up your urgency. But it's dependent on your preparation.

513
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: It is dependent on your preparation. And DJ, we've heard

514
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: this from great coaches. I think we've heard people talk

515
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: about as you get into the bigger games, the men

516
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: you get smaller, not bigger, because you want your guys,

517
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: you want them to play fast. You want them fully

518
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: confident because they know exactly what they're doing. And because

519
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing now, they're just going The

520
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: more that you put on them, the more that you

521
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: have them thinking the clutter slows them down, bogs them down,

522
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: and so eliminate all the fluff. We're gonna beat you.

523
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: Because once you get to a certain level, DJ, everyone

524
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: knows what everybody else is going to do.

525
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: It comes down to execution.

526
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: But it's the execution with the urgency and intensity that

527
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: you need and you know what we're doing, but man,

528
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it so well. We're gonna do it

529
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: with so much physicality and toughness that we're going to

530
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: overwhelm you. And the only way you can do it

531
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: is in your preparation process. It's taught well, it's simplified.

532
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: So now I'm not thinking I'm reacting and I'm really playing.

533
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: I'm playing fast. No. I love it.

534
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 2: I think that's a great word for everybody. It's not

535
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: something just for football. You can use that in life

536
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: as well. It's time, it's go time, and that's a

537
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: good lesson to have.

538
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: All right.

539
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: That is Bucky's coaches Corner. We enjoy that each and

540
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 2: every week, and that is going to do it for

541
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: us today. Be on the lookout for tomorrow's episode because

542
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: we're going to have Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz, who's

543
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: done a remarkable turnaround job there with that program, got

544
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: them to double digit wins. Somebody's fascinated to talk to.

545
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: So be on the lookout for that tomorrow. Right here on,

546
