You're a big 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: part of our coverage and paths to the draft, So 54 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: it's about to be a lot of fun. I thought 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: about it. And then of course, if you're listening to 56 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: the audio pod right, we can check the Thursday video 57 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: show NFL dot com slash mt S video on NFL 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: now as well. Um So, I mean, Buck, I'm obviously 59 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad to be here with you. I mean we 60 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: talk every day about everything. That's but everything. But see, 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: like I don't know if people know what my man 62 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: comes from, because everyone knows that you kind of have oh, 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: who's your thing? That paid attention to the podcast last 64 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: year when you came in after Indianda deposed of Carolina 65 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, you'll talk about basketball, but I 66 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: don't know if they know that you were a candy 67 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: striper on the football squad and that's your who's your 68 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: who's your for life? So there we go, two thousand one. 69 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: Probably Look, how about they're missing some numbers. I feel 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: like I feel like I feel like we could have 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: done a better job of getting you into paint. It's 72 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: more some touchdowns. But I think the bad thing is 73 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: like the A's discrepancy eighty nine, Like we're listening to 74 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: completely different things, like like my serious radio is said 75 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: to something completely different in yours. It's like mine is 76 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: probably like eighties and nineties. Like you're a whole new deal. Yeah, 77 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: like completely different deal. More of the highway for me. Um. 78 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: But you know I'm with you. I'm with you on that, 79 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: and you know, look, I mean the numbers are one thing, um, 80 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: but you know, until you get the frame jersey up 81 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: at your local establishment and be like, I don't want 82 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: to I don't want toot the old horn, but to 83 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: to I don't want to door. But to to get 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: yourself over Nicks English hunt. You go upstairs. Check out 85 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: the old framed Clinchman jersey, which I guess we just 86 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: let the cat out of the bag, you know, the 87 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: actual middle names. That's okay, but you know whatever that 88 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's good. I mean, I'm excited and 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm excited talking about all this stuff. We got what 90 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: we got, man, we got today. We're gonna do Week 91 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: fourteen preview. We have wentz versus golf breakdown. I think 92 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: we did that a few times. I'll pack to the 93 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: draft a couple of years ago. We're gonna rank the 94 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: Heisman finalists as prospects. And we're talking about some local news. Yeah, 95 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: and so a lot still to come, and I guess 96 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: once again still to come for the Browns. It's another 97 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: new executive after today, the Browns confirming what are Ian 98 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: Rappaport had tweeted out earlier that they have released general 99 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: manager uh and Sashy Brown is out after what two 100 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: plus season, two plus years the process, much like the 101 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: seventies Sixers and Sam Hinky like he was even get 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: an opportunity to stay through the process and the rebuilding 103 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: endeavor that the Cleveland Browns are doing. But I will 104 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: say this for Sashy Brown and what they were attempting 105 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: to do, they certainly had positioned the team to get 106 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: a lot of draft picks, to have a lot of 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: capital with decent movers and shakers when it comes down to, uh, 108 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: fortifying the talent on the team. But anytime you take 109 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: a radical approach and attempt to do things differently, if 110 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: you don't have this success on the field, people come 111 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: after you. And because so many people have kind of 112 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: come at the Cleveland Browns, I felt like Jimmy has 113 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: them feels compelled to try and find more of a 114 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: traditional football guy at the top of his flow chart 115 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: to make the decisions when it comes to acquiring person out. 116 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: Wonder what happens with Dee Podesta forward, you know it, 117 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: It'd be interesting because whoever was brought into this analytical 118 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: approach can tear this thing down again. I mean, I mean, 119 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: I think you kind of have to strip philosophical change. 120 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: I think you have to strip it to the studs. 121 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: But I think what you're going back to more potentially 122 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: of a traditional model. Um, I think it's kind of easier. 123 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Scouts would go back to doing the things that they've 124 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: regularly done. They have a voice in the meeting. I 125 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: had heard that the way they were doing it on 126 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the Saucy brown those guys were more information gatherers rather 127 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: than um scouts in a traditional sense. So it will 128 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: be interesting to see it. And I know some people 129 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: are wondering why now, Well, the Giants kind of hit 130 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the accelerated. They hit the gas when they decided to 131 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: get rid of Jerry Reese and Ben macadoo. So now 132 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: you're in the market for a general manager, you need 133 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: to kind of clear up your situation so you can 134 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: have first DIBs at the hottest candidate. And because when 135 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: you look at the two organizations, the Cleveland Browns and 136 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the New York Giants, the New York Giants reviewed as 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: a franchise that's a model of stability. The Cleveland Browns 138 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: are not viewed in that light. So for them to 139 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: get the first seat at the table, they have to 140 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: go maybe throw a bunch of money in, a bunch 141 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: of power and an executive for them to take over. 142 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: So they needed to get this done so they can 143 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: kind of get in front of the likes of the 144 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: John Dorseeas and some of the other guys that may 145 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: be available in this process because despite all the draft 146 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: picks and the young talent U, the Giants brand the brand. 147 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: Like the brand. It's the brand because the Giants are 148 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: viewed as kind of like an old guard, a blue 149 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: blood franchise. UH. So many people uh kudos and and 150 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: props to their ownership and the way the owners allow 151 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: your executives to work and do things, whereas with the 152 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: Browns it always feels like it's in stable. It's not consistent, 153 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts, so they have to 154 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: clean it up. The interesting thing is their community. Hugh 155 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: Jackson through um so, so the new GM is gonna 156 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: have to be cool at that. He's gonna have to 157 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: be cool with that. But I think it's very similar 158 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: maybe to what we saw in Indianapolis. Chris Ballet coming 159 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: in Chapugano stays on board. You try to evaluate the 160 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: head coach and kind of see what it is. Let's 161 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: let's see what happens that first here. But it's interesting 162 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: and it would really be interesting when it comes down 163 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: to the quarterback situation and how much way Hugh Jackson 164 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: has with the new executive. That would be the interesting 165 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: dynamic in terms of who they bring in as they got. 166 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: And lastly, this will also slow the role of any 167 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: thought that hey, Cincinnati, let's go Marvin Lewis Hughes gonna 168 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: come over and that that's certainly had to play into 169 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: the evaluation too, because the world on the street had 170 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: been about Hugh Jackson potentially being dumped and going to 171 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Cincinnati as their head coach of Marvin decided to move 172 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: on there or whatever. Yeah, so it just hanna change 173 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: a couple of dynamics. Interesting. This will be an interesting 174 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: storyline to follow, no doubt about it. All Right, we 175 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: said we got some game previews to get to. Let's 176 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: start it off. We'll kick it off within a f 177 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: C West rivalry. This is a desperation game for the 178 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: Raiders in Chiefs, a one pm Eastern time kick. I mean, 179 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: both these teams struggled through this season. I don't know 180 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: if anybody's struggling as much as the Chiefs. Right now, 181 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: Who's who look at this match looking at this matchup, 182 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: who's your player to watch? It's funny when I'm looking 183 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: at this matchup and instance, as you talk about the 184 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: quarterback Derek Carr, you're talking about Marshall and Lynch or 185 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: one of the talented Why receivers Michael Crabs and Mary Cooper. 186 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: But I think the guy that watching this game is 187 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: Credar Patterson and the reason he is someone that you 188 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: have to watch in this game is his ability to 189 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: impact the game, not only as a receiver because he's 190 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: had more opportunities of late, we've seen him make some plays, 191 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: but his ability to make a big play in the 192 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: kicking game. This is a team that needs a jolt, 193 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: They need some juice, to need some energy. He can 194 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: deliver that. As a returner. I would expect him to 195 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: have plenty of opportunities to make things happen and look 196 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: for him to get his hands on the ball on 197 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: a gadget or two to kind of flip the field 198 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: on a reverse or exotic trick play. And I'm with 199 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: you on that. And I guess along similar lines, um, 200 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: I want to see Tyree Kill again have a big 201 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: impact on offense. We know he's always going to be 202 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: a danger when he's back receiving a kicker punt, but 203 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: he got nine targets from Alex Smith against the Jets. 204 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: I think you need more than that. I think I 205 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: don't think you can settle for less, because I feel 206 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: like this offense, this offense is so much better when 207 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: they're going at Tyreek, even if it's not for the 208 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: long ball, you know, because he can take the ten 209 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: and turn it into sixty. And I think just the 210 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: more you keep going to him, the more opportunity you 211 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: give yourself for him to take one uh and turn 212 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: it into an explosive play. I think the thing that 213 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: we saw it last week with Matt Naggy taking over 214 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: is the can see the Chiefs now are focused on players, 215 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: not plays. They're focused on getting the ball to their 216 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: best players, finding a way to allow those players to 217 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: make enough plays to put points on the board. We 218 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: saw them score over thirty points first time we've seen 219 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: them kind of play with the same kind of video 220 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: game level production that we had seen at the beginning 221 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: of the year. Tyreek Hill does have to have I 222 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: would think, man anywhere from twelve to fifteen targets. He 223 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: needs to touch the ball, bubble screens, jets, all of 224 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 1: jet sweeps, all of those things that are designed to 225 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: allow him to showcases athleticism and explosedness. They have to 226 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: feed him and Travis Kelsey it's a ten in the 227 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: eighties seven game. Those guys need to be featured prominently 228 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: in the game plan always. This was on Sunday against 229 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: the Jets. Was this tempt t d if fifty plus yards? 230 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: That's the most of the league. Since who you got winning? 231 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with to Cancy the Chiefs. I think 232 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: this is this is this is a desperation game. It 233 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: is a playoff game. I think they bring the level 234 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: of urgency at home. They know they have to get 235 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: it done. They cannot fall behind to the l A 236 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. They have to win this 237 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: when I think it's the most, I think it's a 238 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: playoff game. I'm gonna go on the other side with 239 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: the Raiders because I think for so much of this 240 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: season we've been talking about how do the Chiefs find 241 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: someone to cover somebody outside of Marcus Peters, right, who's 242 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: been the other guy that to take a receiver away. 243 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: They went out and signed Durell Rivas and we're back. 244 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: But now Marcus Peters has gone suspended for a week, 245 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: so you know, with Crabtree coming back, Cooper I think 246 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: still a little questionable. But just with crab back I 247 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: think he feast and this is this is a day 248 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: for Derek Carr to go off on that. Give it, 249 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Give it to me, man, rivious Island. No reverence for island. Man, 250 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: we're not making a return flight. Wow. All right, let's 251 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: move it along to the Vikings and Panthers, a marquee 252 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: NFC matchup here. This is one p m. Eastern time 253 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: kick in Charlotte. Buck whore you looking for here? It's 254 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: a week the week league, So I'm gonna keep my 255 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: eye affixed to a quarterback position in Minnesota. Case Kadom, 256 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, Case Case. I need to see 257 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: the show up there. There's a seat and it's getting warm. 258 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you continue to play 259 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: at a high level. He has been outstanding. He you 260 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: can't argue a dispute anything that he's done for the 261 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Even though you feel like he's on a 262 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: magic carpet ride, I still want to see a level 263 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: of consistency. Last week they get a lot of credit 264 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: and praise, but they only scored fourteen points. He missed 265 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: one or two that Mr Couple He wondered if he's 266 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: gonna come back to Earth, is he going to be 267 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: the case Kingdom that we've always seen. As long as 268 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: he's playing well and not turned the ball over, he 269 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: deserves to be to QB one. But like Mike Zimmer, 270 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: I got my own you case alright, alright, um so 271 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: this this is a good one here and and for 272 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Look, I struggled a little bit against the 273 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: Saints down the Supernomber week ago, but Devin Funcious is 274 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: a guy that I'm I'm excited to see this week 275 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: because he's he was a guy that was thrust into 276 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: the spotlight when they traded Calvin Benjamin uh back in 277 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: what was it week nine, early early season get rid 278 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: of the trade right for the deadline, and since then, 279 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: he's doubled his receiving yards per game. I mean, he's 280 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: he's closing in on the ninety yard a game mark. 281 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: But this is gonna be his toughest test yet because 282 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, Zavier Rhodes is not gonna follow him. But yes, 283 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: uh it's it's gonna be tough to navigate. I mean, 284 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: Julio Jones had trouble getting free against not just as 285 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: Davy Rhodes, but this Viking secondary in general. Um, Greg 286 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: Olsen practicing this week could make a difference. Um but 287 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: uh I, this is a game for Funcious to say. Look, 288 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a legit wide receiver one if I 289 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: can have a big game against this, uh this Viking secondary. 290 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: So uh no, I'm not going Carolina and I'm not 291 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Minnesota Vikers. And I'm going some 292 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: of the reasons that you listed, Uh justin you're talking 293 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: about Devin Funches and the challenge that he has. I 294 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: believe this offense is going to be challenged by the 295 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings defense is as talented in front as they 296 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: will face. And then you think about the back end. 297 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: Xavier Rose, Harrison Smith, some of the other guys that 298 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: are rotating in. I think they give the Panthers problems. 299 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Vikers. I think the Vikings get 300 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: a big win on the road. Look, the Falcons only 301 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: put up to seventy five against the Vikings. We could go. 302 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: They are a i would say, or explore or advanced 303 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: passing offense than the Panthers right now. So that's gonna 304 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: be a real challenge. And yes, I am going Minnesota 305 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: on the road, continuing their wind streak. Al right, what's 306 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: up next? We got Redskins and Chargers. This is uh, 307 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: this is a good one. Um. Redskins on life support 308 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: for their playoff spot. But the Chargers man right in 309 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: the thick of things. Stub Hub is gonna be rocking, Bucky. Uh, 310 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna make a trip. Yeah, I don't know if 311 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm making trip this afternoon. Kid, We'll see. We gotta 312 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: get through game day live first we can make it. 313 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Who are you looking for in this one? Jamison Crowder 314 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: for the Washington Redskins. He is the guy that is 315 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: squarely in the cross areas. Didn't have a great game 316 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: on Thursday night again Dallas Cowboys had a couple of drops. 317 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: One of those lads with interception didn't necessarily play at 318 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: the highest level when you look at what he had 319 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: done pretty much for most of the year. Fifty more 320 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: receptions six and twenty eight yards, only has one touchdown. 321 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: But he is really Kirk Cousins security blanket over the 322 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: middle of field. Looked for him to target number eighty 323 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: when his critical situation is particularly on third now, and 324 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: I think he has an opportunity to step up in 325 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: the liver lharge almost this Sandigo the l a charge 326 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: to do a great job of blending between man and 327 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: man and zone coverage. Look for him to work and 328 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: get away. If he can win his match up against 329 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: the nickel corner, he could be a dependable outlet for 330 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Yeah, gotta be, gotta be and think it. 331 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: Gotta be more dependable is a great way to put 332 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: it after what we saw against the Cowboys on Thursday 333 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: night for the Chargers, I mean, I'm watching Keenan Allen 334 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: justin hopes that somebody in that Redskins secondary is also 335 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: going to be watching him, because I feel like nobody 336 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: has the last three weeks. Dude goes first player in 337 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: NFL history to go ten plus catch his hundred plus 338 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown in three straight weeks, and he's 339 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: been uncomfortable. I mean, he's everything. He is the best 340 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: kept sect in the National Football League. I don't think 341 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: people have given him enough credit for what he is. 342 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: He's a top five receiver in this league. He's a 343 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: dominant number one receiver. And the thing that I love 344 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: about him is his versatility. He can go inside, he 345 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: can go outside, he can work from either side of 346 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: the field. Vertical game underneath part he has it all. 347 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: When he was coming out of college, I kind of 348 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: liken him to an KWin Bolden. He has exceeded my 349 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: expectations in terms of what he has been able to do. 350 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: He is an outstanding route runner, a dominant player, and 351 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: the Charges have found a way to which is why 352 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: this offense is really beginning to kick in the gear. 353 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Love it in the Royal Blue too. It just looks 354 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: so much better. Uh. Keenan has been a force to 355 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: be reckoned with in the league right now. And I know, Bucky, 356 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna open up your scouts notebook on Keenan Allen 357 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: writing about how he is the best wide receiver that 358 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: nobody is talking about right now. You can check it 359 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: out NFL dot com Slash Scouts notebook that will go 360 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: live for you tomorrow on the web. So let's pick 361 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: the winner here. I'm going with the Charges. I'm going 362 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: to I wish take away those uniforms, but I am 363 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: going with the charge. I think the Charges are rolling. 364 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: I've said that they're the best team in the ANFC West. 365 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: I believe they continue to confirm that with a big 366 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: win against the Risks. Look banged up offensive line for 367 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: the Redskins. I mean, even if they get some of 368 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: those guys Trent Williams, Morgan Moses, I mean, like they 369 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: pop out of the game, you know, dealing with injuries. 370 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: And when you got a team that's had the second 371 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: most sax in the league since Week seven and the 372 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: Chargers with Ingram and Bosa coming off the edge, I 373 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: just I you know, I worry about Cousin standing in 374 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: there and making the throws he needs to make in 375 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: this one. Give me the Chargers, give me the charge. 376 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: Superchargers rolling. Alright, another big matchup this week in the 377 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: afternoon games. Bucky down in Jacksonville, down in Duval on, 378 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: Florida's first coast Seahawks. Is it making the long trip 379 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: to Arsonville? Um Buck? I mean, russ Uh, it's everything. 380 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: I mean. I think if you go back to your 381 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: high school days, number three in your program, number one 382 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: in your heart. Russell Wilson is m VP candidate. He 383 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: should be the firm running based on what he's doing. 384 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: When you look at how he has played this year, 385 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: He's accounting for over eight of their run pass yards. Um. 386 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: That's more than three teams in the league right now, 387 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: more than three teams. He has twenty nine of their 388 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: thirty three total touchdowns. He is playing an outstanding rate 389 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: and then it's money time in the fourth quarter. No 390 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: one is doing it better than him. He has fifteen 391 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: fourth quarter touchdown passes, only one in exception passer rating 392 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: over best in the league. He is getting it done. 393 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: When you think about what the most valuable player is 394 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: supposed to be, I don't think you can make the 395 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: argument that there's anyone that is more valuable to their 396 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: team than Russell Wilson. He needs to play like an 397 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: MVP because their defense in Saxonville legitimen now. But that 398 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: that's one of my questions for you, because obviously the 399 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: game plan begins and ends with trying to defend Russell Wilson. 400 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: If you're this this Jaguars defense, and yes they have 401 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: been rushing the hat or like no other this season, 402 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: But do you have to rush? Do you have to 403 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: rush a little different this week with rust back there? 404 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: I think so, And I think the reason why is 405 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: because the Seattle see you always have done something that's ver, 406 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: very clever. From a schematic standpoint. They are running a 407 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: lot of empty formation, meaning no backs in the backfield, 408 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: five elibere receivers normally is three to a side to 409 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: on the other side, they're opening up the passing lanes. 410 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: And what empty formation does for the defense, it makes 411 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: you really have to make a decision do I want 412 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: to blitz the formation or do I want to tie 413 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: back into coverage? And now when either decision that you 414 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: make against Russell Wilson is a bad one because if 415 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: you elect to blitz him and you don't get home, 416 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: his elusiveness and athleticism leads to big plays when he 417 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: breaks contain against man coverage. If you sit back in zone, 418 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: that these huge running lanes that he can elect to 419 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: take off from. And so for the Jacksonville Jaguars, that 420 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: front four has to be on their p's and ques too. 421 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: Maybe much rush this this week, don't go past the 422 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: depth of the pocket, make him sit in the pocket 423 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: and throw, much like some teams did against Tyrod Taylor 424 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill. That's a good point, and and especially 425 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: when you get to that second level for the Jaguars, 426 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: it certainly helps to have the athletic linebacking corps like 427 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: Miles Jack Telvin Smith missed last week. I think getting 428 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: a little better this week. So I mean, a guy 429 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: like Miles jack is gonna be is gonna be big 430 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: in this one. I don't I don't know how much 431 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna try to shadow Russ this week, 432 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: but um to be able to contain him when he 433 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: gets past that first level is going to be crucial. 434 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: And and Miles is having a pretty darn good year. 435 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: Right now, it's always Telvin Smith. I mean, he's haven't 436 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: having a great year, you know. I think here, here's 437 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 1: the thing about the jackson the Jaguars in the Seattle Seahawks. 438 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: I think their mirrors of one another, particularly when you 439 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: look at their defenses. Jacksonville is the young version of 440 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: CS and the legion of Boom and the way that 441 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: they were to play, the athleticism, that togetherness, the way 442 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: they locked people down on the outside. This is gonna 443 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: be a huge challenge for Russell Wilson because he's gonna 444 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: see some young, hungry defenders. Yeah, and it's a statement 445 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: game and dull and so because of that, because of set, 446 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: I should have worn my Jacksonville Jaguars. Get the teal outbabe. 447 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: I think Saxonville makes a statement of the league that 448 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: they're for real. I think they beat the Seattle Seahawks 449 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: because they need this to kind of confirm their status. 450 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: And if Blake Borders can have a good game against 451 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom, even though it's a different version, 452 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: I think it'll go a long way to building confidence 453 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: that they can make a run into postseason. I think 454 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: we're seeing eye the eye here. But the thing that 455 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: that gave me some pause as I went back and 456 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: looked at Jacksonville schedule. The defense has been playing so good. 457 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: They've made offenses look bad, but they have not. I 458 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: mean they did and they lost in Week seven and 459 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: it was to the l. A. Rams that was by 460 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: far the best offense they've played this year. Lost seventeen. Uh. 461 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: This is a different kind of offense, different kind of 462 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: that that that L. A. Rams offense a little more 463 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: balanced because Tid Gurley could get loose um Seattle plays 464 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: into the hands because they're one demand. It's gonna be 465 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: a great game. It's a statement game for both teams 466 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: because we saw Seattle knockoff the Philadelphia Eagles and many people, 467 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: many of us, didn't think that they could do that. 468 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: Ye now they come back back to back. We don't 469 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: worry about it, dude, that was last week. I wanted 470 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: the next week. I'm focused, Jeremy. I am with you, though. 471 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: I think the Pools are gonna be rocking over there 472 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and uh I think, uh, I think the 473 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: Jaguar is gonna get it done and improve to the 474 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: league this week that they are for real and look, 475 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: they gotta have it to keep pace with the Titans 476 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: the top the ape this week. Yeah, all right, so 477 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: we're both in agreeing that Jack's got a win over 478 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks this week. Um, let's finish up our game 479 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: previews with the last game we're gonna see on Sunday, 480 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: and that is a Sunday night matchup, a back to 481 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: back prime time a f C North physical matchup, Ravens 482 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: visiting the Steelers at Hinesfield. What are you looking for? 483 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: These teams don't like each other, and it's gonna be physical, 484 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. It's really going to be a 485 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: test of wheels, and I think the wheels for the 486 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: Baltimore raven the wheel has to be we're gonna be 487 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: committed to run the ball with Alex Collins. When Alex 488 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: Collins is able to be a factor. He lightens the 489 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: load on Joe Flacco. And when I look at Alix 490 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: Collins this year's seven hundred yards averaging almost five yards 491 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: per carry. He hasn't had a number of one hundred 492 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 1: yard games, but it's the attempts that matter more than 493 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: the yards. If he's able to get anywhere from eighteen 494 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: to twenty attempts, it changes the way the stealers wud 495 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: have to defend the Baltimore Ravens in the passing game. 496 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: I believe they find a way to get him the 497 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: attempts and it gives them the best opportunity to win 498 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: against what I think is a very very good stealers 499 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: team that's kind of coming into their own. Yeah. And 500 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: I think the attempts have been they've been gradually going 501 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: up for Collins and clearly that's where this Ravens offense 502 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: is at its best. And look, Mike, my gotta watch 503 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: in this one simply because I can't take my eyes 504 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: off in right now. Is Leavy on Bell And uh 505 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: I saw Levy on seek out contact a little more 506 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: than I'd seen in the massed against the Bengals on 507 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: It's a personal game day night, Yeah, and uh, look, 508 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean he is. It's you. I go back and 509 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: forth with the art and the argument who's more valuable 510 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: to the Steelers offenses and Antonio Brown or Lebian Bell. 511 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: It's a tough it's a tough argument to have. But 512 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: Bell against the Ravens. Um, is that a knack for 513 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: the hundred yard game? I think five of his last 514 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: eight against Baltimore is gone for over a hundred. You 515 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: go back to their Week four matchup, he was the 516 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: reason they got the dub, went for a hundred eighty 517 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: six total yards UM. He's touched more than anybody in 518 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: the league this year. I think it's not even close. 519 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: Three hundred thirty six touches UM. I just I think 520 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: he's the guy that's gonna make this Steeler's offense go 521 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: against a Ravens defense that thrives on the turnovers and 522 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: drives on the pass rush from from Tissus. So you know, 523 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: let's let's let's hand the rock to Levy on Bell. 524 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: Let's I'm looking at that clip he is mesmerizing. You 525 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: were like, we have nuts. You can say, I don't know, 526 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: we have not seen a running back that can do 527 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: these things in the style the patience in these and 528 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: then in the whole. Um. I've never seen a guy 529 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: that I scouted as a prospect that has changed his 530 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: game as much as I've seen Leville. I loved him 531 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: coming out of college. I likened him to Stephen Jackson 532 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: when he was at Michigan State, but he was two pounds. 533 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: We're now looking at a lighter version, a guy that 534 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: can catch the ball out of the backfield. He can run. 535 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: He has a very deliberate but productive style. He has 536 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: changed the game in terms of what he is. And 537 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: I know we knocked him in the off season when 538 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: he said I'm a RB one, but a second wide receiver. Yeah, 539 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: he might be that he is outstanding. And because he 540 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: saw outstanding, I believe regardless of whether Antonio Brown is 541 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: able play at a high level or not, that is 542 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: enough to put the Steelers over top. I gotta still 543 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: live in this one. Yeah, I'm with you on this one. 544 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I think you know Pittsburgh stays clean in the division. 545 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: This week they moved to five and oh against a 546 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: f C North opponents. Um, they've been really good in 547 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: the division this year at home. Yeah, give me give 548 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: me the Steelers with this one. And of course for 549 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: more picks you know where to go from the whole 550 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: podcast group. In fact, pretty fun to be a part 551 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: of that. This week it's the podcast the NFL Pick 552 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: Them Show, Uh, watched this Saturday eight am on NFL 553 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: Network and Sunday at six a m. Of course, all 554 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: that Eastern time, So get up early before the college game, 555 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, rather before the pro games on Sunday, and 556 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: get ready for everything that's to come here in Week 557 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: fourteen with the NFL Pick Them Show. With the first 558 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: pick in the two thousand and sixteen NFL Draft, the 559 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams select Jared Goff. The Philadelfia Eagles select 560 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: Carson Wins. He's flooding it for touchdown. There's no filming 561 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: up in cars to the Wins pros and so caught touchdown, 562 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. He's not. Now we're away. Now 563 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: we're roll alright. Great. Look at the two most improved 564 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: passers in terms of past rating from to this season, 565 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: and it was the number one and number two overall 566 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: picks uh from the draft in sixteen. Jared Goff and 567 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz both I mean, look just five losses between them, uh, 568 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: and they're both up there in the passing yards I 569 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: mean Golf throwing the ball a little more two or 570 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: sixty five yards a game by fifteen better than Carson's 571 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: averaging Both of their touchdown interception ratio is pretty darn good, 572 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: although Carson has thrown nine more TVs at twenty nine 573 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: and both right around the one hundred mark in terms 574 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: of passer rating. Uh. Look, this was one of our 575 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: favorite path of the Draft debates from a couple of 576 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: seasons ago, Golf versus Wentz. Great thing about a debate 577 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: is when no one's wrong. Uh. I mean, I don't 578 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: think you can be wrong in this scenario, And I 579 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: think what's funny about it? If you go back now, 580 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: everyone is like, oh Carson wins Jared Goff. But people 581 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: laughed at both teams when they made those moves to 582 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: go up to the top of farm again. Yet, yeah, 583 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: Golf and wins. And yet both of these guys have 584 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: played like marquee players. They played like franchise quarterbacks. And 585 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: with the coaching and the supporting cast that these guys 586 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: have been surrounded by, we are seeing these guys live 587 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: up to the expectation that comes along with being the 588 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: number one and number two pick respective and I can't 589 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: wait to see both on the on the same field, 590 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: of course, not at the same time. This week Eagles 591 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: and Rams golf versus wins uh one was putting the 592 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: Roman numerals as they as they progress in their careers, 593 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: because this is gonna be a fun one to track. Um. 594 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: But but Carson has been leading league in touchdowns almost 595 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: the whole way. What's he been doing so well? I mean, 596 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: he's outstanding. I think when I look at Carson Wentz, 597 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: what I can say about him is he's kind of 598 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: the Lebron James in the National Football League, Meaning you 599 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: just don't see guys who are this big, this strong, 600 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: this athletic that can make the throws that he is 601 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: able to make. Here, we're gonna see him against just 602 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: moving up in the pocket, finding a way to escape. 603 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: This is an off platform form throw, but the ball 604 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: is going to be delivered perfectly. So part of the 605 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: reason I talked about the legit Lebron James of the 606 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: game is because we've seen Lebron just overwhelmed people with 607 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: the athleticism. He's kind of mind boggling in terms of 608 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: the things that he's able to do. Carson Wentz does 609 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: this every week. Here we talk about clean rush to him, 610 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: step up, climbing the pocket, but he's going to deliver 611 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: a fade away, a fade away jump shot from three, 612 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: a step back down. That's the pipe that's ridiculous down 613 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: the boundary Nelson Aglare for a touchdown. His ability to 614 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: improvise while still staying discipline in terms of his eyes 615 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: and his ball placement, you just don't find guys that 616 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: can do that at the quarterback position. And you know, 617 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, despite those fantastic throws that we just showed 618 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: their you know, this was a game in which he 619 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: probably struggled more than anything than any in in this season. 620 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: And when you look at some of the throws that 621 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: he missed, uh yeah, he was getting pressured. Um and 622 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, miss one here to Aglare. I mean, you 623 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: go back to the two that I think are are 624 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: most apparent. Was the one, the deep shot to Aglar 625 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: here that should have been a touchdown. Then he comes 626 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: back and overcompensates, under throws a glare on the other 627 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: side on a similar route another that could have been 628 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown. And then here you saw it just maybe 629 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: trying to do a little too much there and losing 630 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,479 Speaker 1: the ball going into the end zone. But what was that? 631 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: And who's he throwing two on that one? And he 632 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: was trying to you know what, I know they're trying 633 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: to run R P O S and all on it. 634 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah he was, he was flustered. It's a different approach, 635 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: it's a different defense. That defense really challenges you because 636 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: they play tight man to man. They have the Hogs 637 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: up front where they can really create a rush. They 638 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: don't let you get on your spot. And as much 639 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: as I love is improvisational skills, it is hard for 640 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback to consistently play off the script and make 641 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: off platform throws to a pinpoint spot. Yeahawks one. We'll 642 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: see if the Rams are able to kind of force 643 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: him off the spot and make him play in a 644 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: helter skill to come away. Yeah, he was the h 645 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: and Schoby per set the most pressured quarterbacks. Remember the 646 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: culture playing the Jacks in Week thirteen, So that obviously 647 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: a factor for Jared Goffin on the wind for the 648 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: Ms against the Cardinals. So they bounced that. They get 649 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: two in a row now after beating the Saints at 650 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: home and we twelve, they get the Cardinals on the road. 651 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: A nice win there. Uh And in golf again, I 652 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: mean like, I think he's made the biggest jump based 653 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: on on how bad it was a year ago. He 654 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: absolutely has made the biggest jomp. He has become the 655 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: ultimate joystick for Sean mcgn When you think about Sean 656 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: McVeigh and what he's been able to do as a 657 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: play called a play designer, he has really built this 658 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: offense around what Jared Golf does very very well. Looking 659 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: at him coming out of school, I compared him to 660 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I thought he was a very accurate thrower, 661 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: a guy who really excelled working in rhythm. When you 662 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: watch him here against the Cardinals, it's his ability to 663 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: stay in rhythm. You can see him climb up in 664 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: the pocket allow everything to kind of settle this way out. 665 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: He looks for us first read, doesn't like what he sees, 666 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: understands that Sammy Watkins is coming into that window late, 667 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: drops it to him, gives him a pass that he 668 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: can catch on the move and put it in the paint. Here. 669 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: One of the things that rams are done really really 670 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: well the play action game Little Play Act in half 671 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: row boot deep crossing Pass. I loved his accuracy and 672 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: ball placement and anticipation in time and when he was 673 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: a collegian. I think he's continued to do it. Sean 674 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: McVeigh is really playing a video game with Jered Golf 675 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: in him. This guy allows you to be able to 676 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: execute so many things. And we're seeing this Rams offense 677 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: is one of the most explosive in the league because 678 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: a young quarterback is comfortable and playing very very well. 679 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: And both of these guys have been flawless in the 680 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: red zone. And we're talking about twenty touchdowns zero picks 681 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: for wins, sixteen touchdowns zero picks in the red zone 682 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: for golf, and both really good on third down. So 683 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: you look at the two crucial areas and so no 684 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: secret that they're both playing so well. They're they're scoring 685 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: in the red zone and they're in they're converting third downs, 686 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: which was all about, which is which is a big 687 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: formula here. Uh so, um, you know, for golf, highest 688 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: pass rating by RAMS quarterback not named Kurt Warner. It's 689 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: pretty good company, very good company. And now this is 690 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna be this is a tough one to pick. And 691 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: so we got you know, was one of the hottest 692 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: teams in the league and the Eagles before they up 693 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: and lost uh in Seattle. There, They've been here in 694 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: southern California. Uh before they take on the Rams here 695 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: at the Colosseum. Who are you going with? I'm gonna 696 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: go to L. A. Rams. I'm a firm believer that 697 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: the L. A. Rams our team that has a legitimate 698 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: chance to go to the Super Bowl. The way that 699 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: they're playing, not just on offense but on defense. Quietly, 700 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: their defense is beginning to flex their muscles and Donald 701 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: is playing like a dominant player on the inside. It 702 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: took Way Phillips a little while to figure out how 703 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: to kind of deal with the personnel that he has, 704 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: But now we're beginning to see them play up to expectation. 705 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: The Rams defense will be the unit that makes the difference. 706 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: I think they get a huge win at home. I'm 707 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: with you and I'm gonna go with the Rams. Um 708 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: next gen Snots tells us the Rams send five or 709 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: more guys, uh, second most frequently in the league of 710 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: the time on past attempts. You know, that was something 711 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: we talked about Carson having a little bit of an 712 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: issue with against the Seahawks. So they definitely will pressure him. Uh. 713 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I saw the way the Rams d 714 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: was able to I don't want to say stop the 715 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: Saints two weeks ago, but they slowed them enough to 716 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: where you know, the offense could score just just a 717 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: few more points. And and and that's that's the key. 718 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: I think the first quarter is going to be critical 719 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: in this game. Both teams have been fast starters, um 720 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: the Rams in particular, when they're working on their script 721 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: their first fifth team plays. Sean McVeigh does a great 722 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: job of getting them into the end zone on those 723 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: opening drives. Lessie, which team is able to control the 724 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: first quarter because then they will be able to play 725 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: downhill the remaining part of the game. It's important to 726 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: win their first quarter, all right. So that's a good 727 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: one that you're gonna see at Eastern time. So we 728 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: we'll get off the air on game day live on 729 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,479 Speaker 1: time to get home, jump right into that one would 730 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: be a great one for you, all right, Time to 731 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: move on here the uh, we're gonna get to a 732 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: push past the expected now presented by Visa. Here I 733 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: move the sticks and I'll talk about some guys who 734 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: kind of need to step up and go above and 735 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: beyond this week in Week fourteen to get their teams 736 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: a dub Who you're starting with here, I'm going to 737 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: America's team. Oh all right, because I'm American and I 738 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: love ball, So I'm gonna go with Dak Prescott, the 739 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: QB one for the Dallas Cowboys and the reason he 740 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: needs to step up his game. Since Ezekiel Elliott has 741 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: been away, the questions have risen about whether he is 742 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: a game manager or a playmaker. And because they struggle 743 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: mightily without Zeke Elliott, there there's plenty of people that 744 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: believe he's a game manager. What I want to see 745 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: from Dak Prescott. I want to see him show people 746 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: that he can be a playmaker, that he can be 747 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: the driving force of this offense. Now and saying that 748 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: I recognized that the Cowboys are best suited to run 749 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: the ball. Alfred Morris head over a hunt of yards 750 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: against the Redskins, man this offense looks completely different. It 751 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 1: helps Jaz Bryant uncovered, Cold Busy becomes a factor, Jason 752 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: Witten can work over the middle. But when they get 753 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: those opportunities in the passing game, I need to see 754 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott make those plays and he needs to compliment 755 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: to run a game with a couple of those design 756 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: runs to keep the defense honest. Yeah, and looked got 757 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: so much better against the Redskins, uh than in previous 758 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: weeks without Zeke. So that was a good, good, good 759 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: piece of improvement to see. I'm gonna stay in that 760 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: same game on a guy that I want to see 761 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more from. And I mean first and 762 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: then we think back to six degrees of separation with 763 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 1: Eli Manning right now, I mean, if I know, John 764 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: Merris said that the Eli benching had nothing to do 765 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: with the firing of Ben McAdoo and and Jerry Reese um, 766 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,439 Speaker 1: but the timing might suggest otherwise. And then you see 767 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: the Browns fire Sashi Brown maybe get a head start 768 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 1: on the GM book. Going back to get Eli back 769 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: in the lineup. Now, right, let's see Sterling Shepherd step up. 770 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: Let's let's see him become a guy that's more than 771 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: just a second piece to Odell Beckham here, because they're 772 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: gonna need him, I mean they, yeah, no, no, disrespective 773 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: of ours king into Roger Lewis and all those guys, 774 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: but Sterling needs to step up and have a big 775 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: game for Eli. He does. He has to kind of 776 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: morph into the number one role. It's not a role 777 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: that he's necessarily built for, but as a slave receiver, 778 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: they need to be able to get on the same page. 779 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: And without Ben mcdoo, it will be interesting to see 780 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: what Mike Sullivan does as offensive coordinator to make Eli 781 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 1: Manning very very comfortable. I think this week, of all weeks, 782 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: Eli probably has had more stay in the game plan. 783 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: They want to look good now. I'm just curious if 784 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: they can protect Eli well enough to be able to 785 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: attack down the field, because no matter what we say, 786 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 1: this front line for the Cowboys gives them a little 787 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: issue because they're athletic, they're explosive, and if they get ahead, 788 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: they will see a lot of Cover two and they're 789 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 1: gonna force him to be patient and discipline and we'll 790 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: see if Eli can do that. Shepherd has to be 791 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,959 Speaker 1: a big part of the equation. Yes, Stephord Shepherd for sure. 792 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: And Evan Ingram had a nice game a week ago. 793 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: Want to see him continue to progress as well. All right, 794 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 1: who else? We look enough forward to a little uh 795 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: push past the expectator. Let's stay in New York, but 796 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: let's go to the other side of Gang Green. The 797 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: New York Jets, the team that everyone expected to tank 798 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: as alive and well, they're fighting their battlet and part 799 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: of the reason why they're playing so well on offense, 800 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson has become a dude. This guy is averaging 801 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: almost seventeen yards per catch. He has seven touchdowns. He's 802 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: a big play playmaker. He's campaigning for Pro Bowl votes 803 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: because he's impactful. I'm loving what the Jets of doing, 804 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: but what I want to see from Robbie Anderson, Man, 805 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: can you continue to be the dude? He and Jermaine 806 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: Curse They've been so good. Maybe they just don't need 807 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: another playmaker on the outside when they think about getting 808 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: another quarterback. Maybe they already have the weapons in place 809 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: to be an offense that thrives my man. John Morton 810 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 1: has that offense going. He has helped Robbie Anderson become 811 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 1: a big time playmaker. And this was a game where 812 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: I can I went out and picked up Robbie Anderson 813 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: when he started making his run here in fantasy and 814 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: I was like, maybe I need to maybe I need 815 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: to put him on the bench with Marcus Peterson Town. 816 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: But he rose to the occasion after had another big game. Um, 817 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: so that that's been fun to watch. I'm actually gonna 818 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: head to a game in Cleveland. Yeah, Browns and Packers. Uh. Look, 819 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: the Packers went out and ran the ball for almost 820 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: two hundred yards a week ago, which is great. We 821 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: don't often see the Packers do that. Uh, but the 822 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: one thing the Browns have been able to do is 823 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: stop the run. I think there's sixth best in the 824 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: league in rush defense. So I need Pittsburgh Steelers game 825 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: Brett Huntley, you know what I mean. I I don't 826 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: need the thirteen four yards and pass already. We need 827 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: a little more from Brett Humore this week. So I 828 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: need him to step up this week because if you 829 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: go out and lose to the Browns, then the return 830 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers means nothing, right, because this this is 831 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: a game where where you absolutely have to have it 832 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 1: in order to stay in the race. It's a pressure game, 833 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: it's a money game, it's a standard. This might be 834 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: the most pressure Bred Hunley has been under. All you, well, 835 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure. There's gonna be a lot 836 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: of pressure on the Green Bay Packers quality and most 837 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: people won't expect this but because the Browns are winless, 838 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,439 Speaker 1: the pressure falls to the favorite team. No one wants 839 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: to be the first team to go down to the Browns. 840 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: And so when you're Brent Hunley, you're not only dealing 841 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: with the pressure trying to keep the Green Bay Packers 842 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: in the race. You don't want to be the quarterback 843 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: that loses to the Browns. You don't want to make 844 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: the critical error that allows the Browns to get their 845 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: first win. Yes, he needs to step up, he needs 846 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: to play well. He also needs to play under control. 847 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: It needs to be disciplined. Lessie with Mike McCarthy can 848 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: continue to do to make them comfortable. We saw some 849 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: read option and some of the things he did at 850 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: U c l A. So well they see if that 851 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: continues to kind of pop his head up into playbook 852 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: that was pushed past the expected presented by Visa here 853 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: on move the sticks. I don't know, I mean, like, 854 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: am I pushing past the expected? Yes? You are, You're 855 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: killing it the fill in Okay, I just want to 856 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: make sure.

I gotta really dig in and 870 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: study him if he does decide to come out. Lamar 871 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 1: Jackson is intriguing because you just don't see athletes played 872 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: the position like that. You don't see a guy that 873 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: is maybe the best athlete on the field with the 874 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: ball in his hand on every play. As a passer, 875 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: he is going up to six completion rate, which has 876 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: improvement over last year. So he is a tough evaluation. 877 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: Oh that a fun conversation and one that will continue 878 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: over the course of the next three months as we 879 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: give you a look at the Heisman Trophy finalists. Of course, 880 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: the winner announced this Saturday, and uh, the three finalists 881 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: in New York, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield and Bryce Love. 882 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: And for Lamar of course looking for the repeat as 883 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: the Heisman winner. Forty two total touchdowns. I mean, look 884 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 1: at those numbers. Look at those numbers from every every guy. 885 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 1: I mean, that's no kidding, ridiculous production from those guys, 886 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: which is why they were asked to go to New York. 887 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: And I think we thought we might see se Kwan 888 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 1: Barkley up there as a final list. Not the case. 889 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: Bryce Love though a fantastic season, nearly two thousand rushing yards, 890 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: seventeen touchdowns. But everybody looking up at Baker Mayfield in 891 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: this race right now for passing yards forty one touchdowns, 892 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: just five picks. He's got Oklahoma in the playoffs. Uh, 893 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: He's also had five rushing touchdowns as well, so forty 894 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: six total. And Bucky, you've got a nice piece on 895 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 1: NFL dot com. You can catch MFL dot com slash 896 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks where you ranked the three Heisman finalists and 897 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: you rank them as pro pro prospects. So let's count 898 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: them down, all right. I remember boy back in what 899 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: gosh back week three four of the college season, you 900 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: were you were talking all about Bryce Love and you 901 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: were on the Love train and uh then the number 902 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: you're number three? Guy here? Um, Bryce has been been 903 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 1: like almost Christian McCaffrey. Good. Oh, he's been outstanding. Yeah, 904 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: I have to full disclosure. I've known Bryce Loves since 905 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: your high school. Played for my dad at wake Forest 906 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: Rules High School back in Rather, North Carolina, just outside 907 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: of rother In, North Carolina, and he has been terrific. 908 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: This is a big time playmaker, straight line guy with 909 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: outstanding speed, quickness and bursts can get to the second level. 910 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: Has eleven one hundred yard games this year, is nearly 911 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: able to eclipse the two thousand yard mark. Injuries prevented 912 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: him from doing that. When I look at him and 913 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: project him at the next level, he reminds me of 914 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 1: a former tar heel Giovanni Bernard meaning change of pace specialists. 915 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: A guy who has more toughness and physicality than you 916 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: would think. Needs to do a better job of catching 917 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: ball because he hasn't had many opportunities. But at the 918 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 1: next level, his toughness is durability. His speed is going 919 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 1: to give him a chance to be a nice complimentary 920 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: back and Buck I thought it was interesting that you 921 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: bring up in your piece on the NFL dot Com. 922 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: He's a five ft ten guy, hundred ninety six pounds, 923 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: So one of those guys you would think as maybe 924 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: a committee type approach, a guy who could be a 925 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: change of pace, but only twenty nine career receptions in 926 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: the past game. Yeah, hasn't been used heavily in the 927 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: past game, which is unusual for Stanford considering how they 928 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: use Christian McCaffrey. But he has that ability. He has 929 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: the ability to catch the ball. He doesn't have the 930 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: proven production to show it, but when you look at 931 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 1: him and you watch him and you're close to him, 932 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: you see the look he has to wiggle, the burst 933 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: explosiveness to take it to paint. He's tough enough to 934 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 1: play that. I if he has that route, Rundambilding, he 935 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: could be a very very good player, much like Givanni 936 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: Bernard has been for the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, you know, 937 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: I think we were reminded how good Geo is when 938 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: he came in and filled in nicely for Joe last 939 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: week against the Steelers and made some nice runs all right, 940 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: your second rated Heusman finalist as a pro prospect is uh, 941 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: the enigma wrapped up in a riddle a little bit, 942 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: and then Lamar Jackson, Uh fuck, I mean bring out 943 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: the controller. Absolutely. He is a creative player on any 944 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: video game. He is everything that you look for and 945 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: that you want to build around. Explosive, dynamic, terrific with 946 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, can score from anywhere on 947 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: the field, and he's a fearless competitor. When I watched him, 948 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: and I watched him over the last three years, each 949 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: year he's made steady improvements as a passer. He is 950 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: now hitting the six completion mark, which is what you 951 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: have to do as an NFL guy. He also continues 952 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: to bring the explosive dimension as a runner back to 953 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: back season with over a thousand yards. You talked about 954 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: the number of touchdowns that he is delivered since he's 955 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: been there. He is a guy that really reminds me 956 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: of a young Michael Vick. And the reason I made 957 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: the comparison to Michael Vick is because when I was 958 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: just starting out in the scouting business, that's when Mike 959 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: Vick was coming out of Virginia Tech. And he didn't 960 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: have the kind of numbers. He was a raw, underfined passer, 961 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 1: yet he was number one overall, and that two thousand 962 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: and one draft we saw him gain a thousand yards 963 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: as a rusher at quarterback. Uncommon to see those kind 964 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: of things. He's gonna be a tough evail for people 965 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: who don't want to embrace the thought of a creative 966 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: player at quarterback. But if you were willing to embrace 967 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: the athleticism part of the quarterback position, Lamar Jackson could 968 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: be someone who is veryvery intriguing to kind of work 969 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: with him. Built around and you called him NFL dot 970 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: Com slash Bucky Brooks. You called him more of a thrower. Yeah, 971 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: he's a thrower more so than a pass a meeting. 972 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: He's not a guy that can necessarily he played the 973 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: Connected Dots games. If you're thinking that he's going to 974 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: be a highly efficient pastor that's going to slice you 975 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: up in the small ball era, that's not necessarily how 976 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: he's built to play. When I watched something, I watched 977 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 1: him personal. I went to see him play against North 978 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: Carolina at North Carolina struggle a little bit, pushing the 979 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 1: ball outside the numbers on those deep comebacks and outs. 980 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: But if he has the opportunity to throw isolation routes 981 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: like those bang gates, those skinny posts, things that are 982 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: part of the quick game, he can do that in rhythm, 983 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: and you add the run factor, he could be dangerous. 984 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: It will take a creative offensive coordinator to pull the 985 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: trigger on him though. All right, and number one is 986 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: the guy who is the Heisman Trophy favorites this year. 987 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, of course, started his career Texas Tech uh 988 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: and then moved on to Oklahoma immediately one over that team, 989 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: that locker room, became the starter and has not looked back. 990 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,919 Speaker 1: But he has not looked back. He's a junkyard dog 991 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: at the position, meaning he's a feisty competitor. He has 992 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: all the grit, the toughness, to confidence, to swag that 993 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,280 Speaker 1: you look for from your QB one. He has improved 994 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: so much as a passer from last season to this season. 995 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: I see a guy that is very accurate, decisive. He 996 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: puts the ball right in the strike zone for the receivers. 997 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 1: Yet he continues to be a dynamic playmaker as a pro. However, 998 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,439 Speaker 1: um it's gonna be interesting to see where he comes 999 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: in at UH he's listed at six one. I don't 1000 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: think he's at He's going to be a guy that 1001 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,760 Speaker 1: runs probably in a four eight to four nine category. 1002 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: So when we made the comparisons to Russell Wilson, it's 1003 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 1: the huge difference in terms of the explosiveness when you 1004 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: make the comparison, the best comparison is probably Drew Brees 1005 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: in terms of his ability to use his athleticism within 1006 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 1: the pocket. If he continues to develop and understand how 1007 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: to manipulate the passing lanes to find windows to get 1008 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: the ball out, he absolutely can blossom into a Drew 1009 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: Brees like player at the next level. And I think 1010 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: we've heard all the conversation about Baker Mayfield being a 1011 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: first round pick. I think we need to kind of 1012 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: curb that and just think about the comparison and what 1013 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: he could be. Remember, Drew Brees was not drafted in 1014 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,479 Speaker 1: the first round partially because of the measurables he didn't 1015 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: fit that. Russell Wilson wasn't drafted in the first round 1016 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: because of When you look at Baker Mayfield, he can 1017 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: be a great pass it but he's still gonna be 1018 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: hung up because he's not the prototypical quarterback. I know 1019 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: right now we're talking about him being the first round pick. 1020 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised to see him fall out of 1021 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: the first round but still have a good career, just 1022 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: because the measurables and some of the character stuff with 1023 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 1: the flag and the gesture and all that other stuff 1024 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: could be a bigger part of the evaluation as we 1025 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: go forward. Uh yeah, the plant the flag persona, if 1026 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 1: you will, is something that that people that is going 1027 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: to be talked about, um for the next four or 1028 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: five months until we get to Arlington on Draft Day. 1029 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: And uh yeah, you know what, I don't know that 1030 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 1: there were many of his teammates that were that upset 1031 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: about that. I don't think. I don't think that's it. 1032 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: I think I think some about that, like some people 1033 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: can deal with the ficeness and swag, Like we've had 1034 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: a debate between the different meen Tom Brady showing emotion 1035 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: versus Ode Beckham showing emotion. Like that's fine. Quarterbacks get 1036 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: a pass when it comes to that. I think the 1037 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 1: big thing will be the public intoxication thing that he had. Uh, 1038 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 1: any other things that may pop up during his time, 1039 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: like transferring from Texas, tex To Oklahoma and the like. 1040 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,840 Speaker 1: Just making sure that he can be the face of 1041 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: the franchise and handle all the responsibility that comes with 1042 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: that as a player. Yeah, you can question it, but 1043 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: you've seen him play really well. The playoffs will be 1044 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: huge for him. How does he play against George right 1045 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: sec defense? People will put a lot of weight in 1046 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,840 Speaker 1: that because that will be the closest test that he 1047 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 1: gets to an NFL defense outside of the Ohio State 1048 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 1: game that he here early in the year. And my 1049 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: point about the teammates and and their reaction to some 1050 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,280 Speaker 1: of the things that he does, I think is important 1051 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: because I'll go back to the Manning Passing Academy um 1052 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 1: UH where I was down there when he was there 1053 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: two years, two summers ago, UM and we want to 1054 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: talk about him being polarizing, right, having opinions from people 1055 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 1: on on both sides of the spectrum. Instead of polarizing, 1056 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: I feel like he's he's magnetic, And maybe not to 1057 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 1: the evaluators, but to the guys around and the guys 1058 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: that now absolute teammates. I mean that was You're in 1059 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,840 Speaker 1: a situation down there where you're among the forty of 1060 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in college football down there as staffers 1061 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: coaching up the kids down to Thiboda, Louisiana, and he 1062 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: was one of those dudes who just soaked it up right. 1063 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 1: He didn't shy away from any of the conversation. I mean, 1064 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 1: people wanted to come to him. They gravitated to him. 1065 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: He was the leader of the pack. He was one 1066 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 1: of those alpha guys um which I mean, you know, 1067 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,760 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is a fantastic leader, but they have different styles. 1068 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: I feel like in that regard, and so you know, 1069 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: I I think I think he's thinking. I think if people, 1070 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: uh will click on YouTube and they go and they 1071 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: pull up Baker Mayfield dancing Mayfield with his teammates, he 1072 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: does get along with his teammates. He does have a 1073 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: certain magnetic quality to him to his game. He has electric, 1074 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,640 Speaker 1: ryan and exciting and look, I am a guy that 1075 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: is a fan of having emotional players. He wears his 1076 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: emotions on his sleeve. Yet he's calm and cool and composed. 1077 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: We don't necessarily see it effective negatively on the field. 1078 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: And so that is the thing I really think. Man, 1079 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: the more we get around him, the more we kind 1080 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,720 Speaker 1: of see I think people will either become very comfortable 1081 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 1: with what he is and what he brings to the table, 1082 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: because I think at the end of the day, the 1083 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield that you see is Baker Mayfield that's going 1084 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 1: to exist in the league, and you have to be 1085 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: comfortable with your quarterback being a guy that is a 1086 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: little more demonstrative and emotional. There's some of the other 1087 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 1: guys that played the position, and as we picked the 1088 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 1: winner here of of the Heisman um and talking about Baker, 1089 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 1: I think he's the picture of the argument that's that's 1090 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 1: maybe starting to transform a little bit because so often 1091 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,240 Speaker 1: when these types of air raid quarterbacks come out, we're saying, 1092 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,240 Speaker 1: how will they adapt to the NFL game. I feel 1093 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: like with the way that we've seen Jared Goff accommodate 1094 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: his skills to the NFL, it's maybe time that we 1095 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 1: start asking how do these NFL offenses accommodate players like 1096 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 1: Baker and like ed Based based on what Bill O'Brien did, 1097 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: but DeShawn Watson issue, I think we are at a crossroads, 1098 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: and I think fans and executives and scouts and coaches 1099 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 1: have to begin to embrace the way the game is 1100 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,320 Speaker 1: played on Saturday. Increasingly on Sundays in the National Football League, 1101 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: the Saturday game is going to show up. The only 1102 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: way to get these quarterbacks up and going is to 1103 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: let them do what they've done in high school and college. 1104 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 1: If you think that they're going to go back and 1105 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: be the damn Marinos and those guys, it's not gonna happen. 1106 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: The game isn't play like that. And even though I 1107 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: know we talked about the elite quarterbacks Drew Brees, Tom Brady, 1108 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,399 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, even Big Bend and maybe Philip Rivers. Those 1109 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 1: guys are all high thirty players. The new generation doesn't 1110 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 1: play like that. So we're gonna have to get used 1111 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 1: to seeing a different style of the position, and it's 1112 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: going to require coaches to be more adaptable and flexible 1113 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 1: with their plays as opposed to here's my system. You're 1114 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: gonna fit in there. Uh, you don't have to fit 1115 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: into around to do what the quarterback does really really well. 1116 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: All right, So let's pick it. I mean, is it? 1117 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 1: I mean? I think I think I think it's Baker Mayfield. 1118 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 1: I think the numbers and the way he's played, I 1119 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 1: think he has had the opportunity to play a bunch 1120 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 1: of national televised games. Will he looked like the best 1121 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,359 Speaker 1: guy on the field. I think that carries a lot 1122 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 1: of sway and the voters. I I think he wins it. 1123 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 1: I would think Lamar Jackson would be second, which is 1124 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: crazy that he said almost a better year than his 1125 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 1: first year when he won it. But I just think 1126 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 1: there's a little voter fatigue. Baker Mayfield gets it and 1127 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: my guy Bryce love it's a nice trip to New 1128 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: York and I'm expected about him have an opportunity. I'm 1129 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: with you on that. I think Baker Mayfield too good. 1130 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 1: I think the plays that he's made in the primetime 1131 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 1: spotlight in the place, that he will make in the 1132 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: playoffs and getting Oklahoma back there again this year is 1133 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 1: uh is too much for the voters to pass up 1134 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Lock it up your Heisman Trophy winner this 1135 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: season and uh well, uh Baker and company and everybody 1136 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,359 Speaker 1: out there listening.
