I'll start 17 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: us off ten Takeaways. Let's start here with a guy 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: who had probably the best performance of the weekend. That's 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and uh I went with the with the 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: silly pun of of Roger that Rogers alone of the shotgun. 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: Three receivers bunch on the right. Now they get motioned 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: to the right, they take the jet sweep. Rogers deep 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: drop throws left side of the end side, kind of 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: cuts down Jimmy Grab lunging grab at the far side pylon, 25 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: three yard touchdown past Eric Harris beating on the play, 26 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: and the Pactors extend to a thirty four seventeen lead. Wow. 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: I have a pretty revolutionary take here. Rhet, it's pretty revolutionary. 28 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: It's it's a deep football thought. But if you cannot 29 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: get any pressure on Aaron Rodgers, you will get torched. 30 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: And this was a scenario of of a Raiders team 31 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: I think is a good football team with one fatal flaw. 32 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: In that fatal well as they can't rush the quarterback. 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: And if you can't rush the quarterback, I don't care 34 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: if if you put Brett Farve out there with a 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: bunch of high school receivers, he is going to torch you. 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what he did. Now they found a 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: way to spread it around. But if you look at 38 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: all the big plays in this game, the pockets were pristine. Uh, 39 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: they just couldn't get the Rodgers. Yeah, what didn't Max 40 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: Crosby get him once? Max Crosby said, and then did 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: the discount double check after it, and then it was like, Oh, 42 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna that that's gonna come back to bite you, 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: my friend. But yeah, it looks like the Raiders definitely 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: still have a long way to go in terms of 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: upping their pass rush production despite the you know selection 46 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: of Cleveland Farrell and then Crosby and those guys. I mean, look, 47 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: they're getting better at it, but it's clearly not where 48 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: it needs to be just yet. And uh the two 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: words slash. One phrase that I have after watching this 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: game is oh, like, if this is the type of 51 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: passing the production that the Packers are capable of now 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: with this Lafleora offense, everyone's going to be in trouble 53 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: because the Packers are a team to be reckoned with 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: in that. Now, I will say the one thing that 55 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: will say for the Raiders DJ. On the bright side, 56 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs looks like the realty Josh Jacob's baby. Yeah, 57 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: that's right, he looks like. I'm not getting as much 58 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: grief about about that. For some reason, A lot of 59 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: people are there in the draft process, like to give 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: me some grief. I'm not. I don't hear from anymore. Yeah, 61 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: four yards yesterday, almost six yards of pop and a 62 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: couple of those. He made some dudes miss in a 63 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: big way multiple times on the same play. So there 64 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: you go. He's a good player. Keep us going. Yeah, 65 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: I'll keep us rolling here, and I'll go to the 66 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Rams and their defense helping to stem the losing tide. 67 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: Snap back to Ryan on second and tent pressure in 68 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: his face. This time he'll have to eat it. Sack 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: back at the one Dante Fowler missed on the first drive. 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: This time he made sure to drag Ryan down. So 71 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: Dante Fowler three sacks in this game. Aaron Donald had one. 72 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: And I wrote this as I was watching these sacks. 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: I go, right tackle, got one up, left guard, got 74 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: one al right guard, that's the right tackle again. Left 75 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: left tackle, Jake Matthews, you have some too, And then 76 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: left guard. You're not the only one that's been beating 77 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: multiple times in a game by Eric Donald. Uh Like 78 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: everybody maybe except for Alex Mack got beat a bunch 79 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: of times. So that Falcon's offensive line and so the 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: sacks were one thing. The turnovers were another thing. The 81 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: Rams of the team had been minus three in the 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: turnover differential during their three game losing streak. In this game, 83 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: they flip it to plus three, so you know they 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: I think you had Jalen Ramsey come up with the 85 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: force fumble on Devonte Freeman. Uh, then you had the 86 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: strip sack from Aaron Donald, and then you had the 87 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: turnover late in the game that ended up in a touchdown. Um. 88 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: I think it was a special team's play, right, was 89 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: a punt return? Um. So look their defense stepped up 90 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: in a big way. And look, you you answer me this, 91 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: do you buy into the fact that if you're if 92 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: you're a player on that defense or player in that 93 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: Rams team in general, and you see your front office 94 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: go out and make a move like that to bring 95 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: in one of the elite players in football and Jalen Ramsey, 96 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: that that that has an effect on you in a way, 97 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: especially on defense, if you're a player on that side. No, 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: I think it shows you that you're in you know, 99 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: when it gives you. I think there's just a sense 100 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: of urgency there that like, hey, this is our time. Now. 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: We might have sacrificed a little bit in the future 102 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: with this um with some of these draft picks. But 103 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: this is this is our time right now. We're coming 104 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: off of a Super Bowl appearance. It's time to get rolling. 105 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, if you want to get roll 106 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: on a trip to UH to Atlanta is a pretty 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: good place to start. I mean, once again, no sacks 108 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: for this team. I mean they hit the quarterback three times, 109 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: which is gives them four total quarterback hits over the 110 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: last three weeks. And then you just I talked about 111 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: it with the first point with the Raiders. If you 112 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: can't get after the quarterback, it's impossible to win this league. 113 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. And Vic Beasley apparently has 114 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: been told he's on the trading block, But like, who's 115 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: gonna go out and get that. Who's gonna go out, 116 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: Who's gonna go out and spend a bunch of resources 117 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: for a guy who can't get any pressure. Don't do 118 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: anything that doesn't do anything. I can confirm that they've 119 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: they've made those calls. So I mean, are there are 120 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: there a bunch of interesting teams? The only thing, the 121 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: only thing, well, the only thing you'd think of is 122 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: if you look at Fowler right. Fowler hadn't you know, 123 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: become the player Jacks wanted him to be in Jacksonville. 124 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: And now you've seen a guy who obviously always had 125 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: the ability is really blossoming in a new environment there 126 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: with the ramps. So I would imagine somebody will do it. 127 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: I don't imagine it'll fetch a big return there, um, 128 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: but man, it's it's definitely help get the Rams back 129 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: on the right track. And if they can get their 130 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: offense and Jared Golf playing at a high level, they've 131 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: they've got a chance to make a deep run. All right, 132 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: let's go to the next one here. Let's go to 133 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota and uh, there's balance in the force. Adam Feeling 134 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: motions to the right handoff goes to Madison. No, it's 135 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: a bootleg cons pros and touched. Yeah, they're rolling right 136 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: now in Minnesota. Rhet and they've really when I just 137 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: look for words like how would I describe this football team? Um, 138 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: that's why I used the word balance. I think when 139 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: you look at what they're getting out of the passing 140 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: game now, especially since um Kirk Cousins was kind of 141 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: called out of the lack of pass attempts, I guess 142 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: I should say I was discussed by Adam Theeland as 143 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. This office has gone to a whole new level. 144 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: We just look at the look at the logs here 145 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: since that was a Chicago game, right, uh So now 146 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: he's got ten touchdowns one pick over the last three games. 147 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: We're putting the ball up in the air each game. 148 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: He's gone over three hundred yards um the the average 149 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: yards per temp eleven point three, eleven point five, nine 150 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: point nine. So they're getting big, explosive chunk plays. They 151 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: can run the ball with Dalvin Cook obviously the past 152 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: game works well off that they've got a front that's 153 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: physical enough they can get after you in the run game, 154 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: and they've got pass rushers. They've got a secondary with 155 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: a lot of depth and talent there. I just think 156 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: when you're talking about complete football teams, with Kirk Cousins 157 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: playing like this, this might be the most complete team 158 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL. You might be right, because we saw 159 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: what they're capable of in the run game early on, 160 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: and now I feel like it's just it's just, you know, 161 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, with the balance, it's become more impressive. 162 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: And I don't know was it the comments, was it 163 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, was it Adam Feeland and Stefon Diggs or 164 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, did did Stefanski get the message? Did Mike 165 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: Zimmer kind of loosen the grip on you know, saying hey, 166 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: let's run, run, run run. Coincidence, it's incidental, but it 167 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: has changed since those comments were made. It absolutely hasn't. 168 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean, like it's Kirk is playing like you like 169 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins, Like he's playing with that type of 170 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: confidence and that type of aggressive nature throwing the ball 171 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: down the field. I mean, like I think we go 172 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: back to late in the game and it's, uh, it's like, ah, 173 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: they're in a short yard situation and they get Stefan 174 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: Biggs free down the field and and Cousins takes that 175 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: shot and they get it and they convert um. You know, 176 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: that's really interesting to me. The play action is back obviously, 177 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean, like that's you know, that's always been such 178 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: a hallmark of of what the when the Vikings are good, 179 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing well. And when Cousins is playing well, 180 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: they're doing that well also. So you know, I think 181 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: we have to why jout for Adam feeling with that 182 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: hamstring injury. If that keeps him out, I think there 183 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: are a short week this week on Thursday Night football 184 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: taking on the Redskins. So that's the rookie IRV Smith, 185 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: you know what? Uh? And I think for six to 186 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: getting him involved and listening to the broadcast the broadcast 187 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: team was talking about in their meetings with Matt Patricia, 188 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: like Patricia was really worried about IRV Smith, like he 189 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: they were really impressed with what he'd been doing. And look, 190 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: and let's say for Cousins, this is back to back 191 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: games here where you're starting to chip away at that 192 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: narrative a little bit about not playing well versus good teams. 193 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: You know, the say what you want about the Eagles. 194 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: Now we've seen them take a little bit of a downturn, 195 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: but that had been really had been a good football team. 196 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: And the Lions were a really good football team this year, 197 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: even though the record doesn't quite support it, especially secondary. Yeah, 198 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: so look, I think you're you're going a long way 199 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: to kind of chipping away at that thing. If you're 200 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, all right, you wanna get us, get us 201 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: to the next takeaway here, and um, you know what, 202 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: let's Let's go to the a f C East where 203 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: no Josh Allen turnovers means no problems for the Bills. 204 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: First down at the twenty, Josh takes the snap, looks 205 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: Buyers straight down the middle. That's caught. Touchdown. Touchdown Smoke, 206 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: John Brown, touchdown Bills. You want to talk about a 207 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: team's formula to win, we talked about that a lot 208 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: here on the move the Sticks take. They have their formula, 209 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you right now, it's not about uh 210 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: Josh Allen passing yards, completion percentage, touchdowns, or even rushing yards. 211 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: It's when he doesn't turn the ball over. They are 212 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: always going to be in a position to win because 213 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: their defense plays lights out and then he makes enough 214 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: big plays to let them win big games or give 215 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: them an opportunity to win big games. But when he 216 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: doesn't turn it over, that is the secret. I went 217 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: back and went back and looked at it. All seventeen 218 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: games that he's started, he's only been cleaning the interception 219 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: column in six of those seventeen games. They've won five 220 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: of those six games, and in that sixth one that 221 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: they didn't win when he didn't throw an interception, the 222 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: team as a team they turned it over three times, 223 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: so they lost three fumbles. So that is that is 224 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: clearly the formula. And I'm telling you, if he doesn't go, 225 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: if he doesn't make two really bad decisions on three 226 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: interceptions against the Patriots, we could be talking about the 227 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: Bills being undefeated right now. That's their lone loss. That's 228 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: how good they can be when he takes care of 229 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, I was actually kind of surprised Miami 230 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: was able to put up as as as as they 231 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: did in this team. There. You know, Fits is always 232 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna fits. One thing about Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ryan Fitzpatrick will 233 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: always keep both teams in the game. That's when he's 234 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: traditionally been able to do that. He's not a good team, 235 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: already bad team, he will keep both teams in the 236 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: football game. Um and Preston Williams for them, of the 237 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: rookie Um out of coll would have been drafted if 238 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: not for some character concerns. Has really made some plays 239 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: for for pretty bad, pretty bad group. Keeps making plays 240 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: Buffalos defense too. Yeah, he's he's just a great player. 241 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: You know exactly what you're gonna get from him all day. Consist, 242 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: all right, we'll get to the game. I was at 243 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: one of the wildest finishers that I've ever ever seen 244 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: at a live football game. Um, but we'll get to 245 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: the finish here in a second. Let's start with one 246 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: thing here. Looks like there has been a quarterback upgrade 247 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: in Nashville. Tannehill from the Shotgun takes this nap looks 248 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: fires down the middle, touch down Titans. Cory Davis makes 249 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: the catch. That was Mike Keith on the call there 250 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: for the Titans, who was not only one of the 251 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: best play by play guys in the business, also one 252 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: of just the nicest human beings you'll ever meet. But 253 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: what a weird game. And we'll get to the finish 254 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: here at but start with Tannehill. Tan Hill, to me, uh, 255 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: the operation time was just much quicker there than with 256 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. He was, um, just trusting his eyes, getting 257 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: the ball out. Charges a lot of zone coverage and 258 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: he was able to just find holes and uh and 259 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: really kind of attacked this group down the field working 260 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field a bunch. Um. There 261 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: was one. I mean, the touchdown was one of the 262 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: touchdowns that wasn't the one we just heard right there. 263 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: But the one to tip j Sharp. The Chargers rushed 264 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: to drop nine inside the red zone and give up 265 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: a wide open touchdown. How does that happen a coverage 266 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: bus there, That's a great question. But the offensive line 267 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: they had some some issues there. Conklin got hurt and 268 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: Uh and Joey Bosa was was really getting after Dennis 269 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: Kelly there on the edge. But I thought Tannehill, you know, 270 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: he just continued to kind of hang in the pocket 271 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: and and made a lot of big throws. And when 272 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: that when that team with the way they should be 273 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: able to run the ball, which they were able to 274 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: get Derrick Henry going a little bit. When you get 275 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill Uh throwing for three twelve yards and a 276 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns. Um, it's a good football team. The 277 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: defense is outstanding. Actually thought it was the best that 278 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers had played all year long. He had he 279 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: had a good game moving up and down the field, 280 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: but it was Have you ever seen an ending like 281 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: that end? Have you ever seen anything like that? No, 282 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: when you think you've scored, you know, you don't twice 283 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: twice then you end up coughing it up to lose it. Oh, 284 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: you celebrate two game winning touchdowns on the field on 285 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: this sideline. I mean, Matt money Smith had some incredible 286 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: wasted wasted them all, but no, I mean they had. 287 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: I thought Ekeler on the touchdown pass on the replays 288 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: that we were looking at, I didn't think it was 289 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: conclusive enough where they could overturn that because he had 290 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: the ball real tight you couldn't see where the football 291 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: was in relationship to the goal line. Um, I didn't. 292 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: I didn't think that would be a return. But okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 293 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: I I just just it was bizarre. And then and 294 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: then Melvin really fumbled twice. Melvin Gordon fumbled the first one. Um, 295 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: it was just a matter of whether or not his 296 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: knee was down before he fumbled. And then sure enough 297 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: he fumbles again. And I did ask Anthony Lanna after 298 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: the game what the plan was if he didn't get 299 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: in with the time remaining, would you have spiked it 300 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: and just kicked the field goal to go to overtime? 301 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: And he said no, They had a fade cold, so 302 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: they would have had time to get under central on 303 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: top of fade up, probably to Mike Williams. If he 304 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: doesn't catch it, you still have a couple of seconds left, 305 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: you come out there and kicked the field goal. So 306 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily hate the play calling. I mean it's 307 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: it's literally you're talking about half a foot. Uh. If 308 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: you can't get that with the with the you know, 309 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: I know you've got some backups in there along the 310 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: offensive line, but got a big back go create some 311 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: space and uh, I just was not able to do that. 312 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: But the fumbling, you can't. I mean, that just can't happen. Yeah, no, 313 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Um on the flip side 314 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: for Tennessee. Uh, can we go back and talk about 315 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons for a minute. He was great on the great. 316 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: The crazy thing is that's not even the best version 317 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Simmons. He's not even moving like the Jeffrey 318 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: Simmons we saw at Mississippi State, and still had a 319 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: huge impact on this game. That's just the beginning for him. 320 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: That penetration on the goal line, I mean, holy smokes, 321 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: that sco Field that he took back like that. I 322 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: think he got scoe Field on one. He might have 323 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: got Feenie on another one. And he he is just 324 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: and it's interesting because body type wise, he even looks 325 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: a little different he was. He looked a little bit leaner, 326 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: um and move really well Mississippi State. And then this 327 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: is a big just a powerful, powerful human being. I 328 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: don't think he's necessarily even in football shape. I think 329 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: once he is in football shape, you'll really see him 330 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: even lean out a little bit more, and you'll see 331 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: him with more you know, first step explosives. This was 332 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: just raw strength and power on display in this. I 333 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: think you're absolutely right because like when we we were 334 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: here last week saying, oh, Jeffrey Simmons is gonna practice 335 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: this week, we may see him in a couple of weeks, 336 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: I did not expect him to be activated right away. Yeah, 337 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: and so I think we've talked to John Robinson before 338 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: the game and he said twenty five snaps, so they 339 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: were gonna And I was kind of like, wow, that's 340 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: kind of a lot here, first time out snaps. And 341 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: sure enough, clearly you see why they felt like they 342 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: had to make him the nineteenth overall pick, knowing they 343 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: weren't going to get him for half the season. He's 344 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: had good He was a top five picture, you know, 345 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: top five pick if if he's not injured. So I 346 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: mean it was. It looks like it's gonna end up 347 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: working out pretty well here for the Titans. Uh, let's 348 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: keep going here the big Sunday night football game. Uh. 349 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: Doc delivers Jarwin in motion left to right, now motion 350 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: from right to left from Mamori Cooper Prescott play action, 351 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: rolling right, pumping. He's gonna run. Dak Prescott to the five, 352 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: dives in for the touchdown, and Dak Prescott may have 353 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: just put this one away thirty six to ten as 354 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: Prescott takes it in from the eight for six. Well, right. 355 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: The interesting thing about these uh, you know these games. 356 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: When I'm traveling, so I'm coming back on the Chargers plane, 357 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: I don't I don't have I'm not don't have the 358 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: internet on there, so I don't know what happened in 359 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: these games. I literally land, no WiFi. I land and 360 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: I uh and I pop up my phone and it's like, okay, boom. 361 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: You know Cowboys thirty seven to ten. They smashed him. 362 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 1: And I know that the Cowboys offensive line has come 363 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: back healthy. So the narrative you kind of build in 364 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: your mind before you watch the tape is the Cowboys 365 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: offensive line dominated this football game. We're all back together 366 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: and then that kind of made everything else go. And 367 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: then I go flip on the tape and and I said, look, 368 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, actually the Eagles were able to get some 369 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: pressure on Dak Prescott. This was not, you know, just 370 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: an easy game. The windows down the field, you know 371 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: a lot of tight window throws. What I saw in 372 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: this tape, we're three guys that Dak Prescott making big 373 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: time throws, like top ten quarterback type throws. I saw 374 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: Mary Cooper winning one on one, you know, once in 375 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: spectacular fashion on a double move and other times tracked 376 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: the deep ball over the shoulder. But it was a 377 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: premier you know, a premier player playing at a premier level. 378 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 1: And then I saw Zeke Elliott, you know, even when 379 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: he got some room here and there, but he created 380 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: his own room. He made people miss. He finished runs 381 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: yards after contact. So I saw in a big time game. 382 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: It's the old Dean Sanders thing right, big time players 383 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: making big time plays and big time games. I thought 384 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: the stars, no pun intended for the Cowboys, showed up 385 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: in this game, no question. And I think you gotta 386 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: include de Marcus Lawrence in that too, because he made 387 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: life very difficult for Lane Johnson and and whatever side 388 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: he ended up lining up on h to take advantage 389 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: of that offensive line of the Eagles. Now, the other 390 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: thing I'll say is if you're Philly, you can't come 391 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: into Dallas in a game like this and spot them 392 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: fourteen points on two turnovers. You had, they got her 393 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: fumble and then you had the wind strup put it 394 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: on the ground and they took fourteen points right right 395 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: off the bat off those two turnovers. That can't I mean, like, 396 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: how do you dig yourself out of that just like that, 397 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: especially when you got a team in and where the 398 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: dynamic play is gonna come right right? How do you 399 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: get back into the game without DeShawn Jackson in a 400 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: game breaking type of situation? You know? Um? So that's look, 401 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: that's that's a tough call. So now, if you're the 402 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: Eagles and I wanted to ask you this, like, and 403 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this on the aftermath too, when 404 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: we get on three o'clock Eastern time, are the Eagles 405 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: good enough for how you to go out and make 406 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: a move to make them better before the deadline? Like? 407 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: Is it worth it? That's a great call. It's a 408 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: it's a great call. Because to me, you make moves 409 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: and when you are a team desperate to get to 410 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: the postseason and it ain't been in a while, or 411 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: you make a move because you're hunting a super Bowl 412 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: and you have to ask yourself and have a real discussion. 413 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: You know, is this a super Bowl caliber team with 414 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: some of the roster holes. I mean, it looks really 415 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: rhet when you watch the tape. It just looks slow. Yeah, 416 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: the team just looks slow. Um. No no explosive plays 417 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: in the offense down the field, and I know Deshaun's 418 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: not there, but you had to know with his history 419 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: that you weren't going for a full season. That wasn't 420 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: gonna happen. But then defensively, secondaries looks slow. Um, there's 421 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: no you know, they rushed the pastor a little bit 422 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: better this week, um than they have recently, but still 423 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: no fastballs coming off the edge. Derek Barnett, you know, 424 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: got some pressure. Brandon Graham's gonna have to show you 425 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: some power. Fletcher Cox showed up a little bit inside. 426 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: He's their dynamic player. But they need some speed off 427 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: the edge. They need speed on the perimeter on offense. Um, 428 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: and then offensive line wise, doesn't play well well And 429 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: that's what that's what kind of in my antenna go 430 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: up a little bit when I heard Vic Beasley on 431 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: the training block, like, Okay, does Philly feel like they 432 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: have enough to where he could make a difference off 433 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: the edge. I don't know. I can't imagine it's gonna 434 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: cost you much, right, I don't know where he's contracts. Yeah, Um, 435 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: that's obviously something you gotta wah into. It's gotta be 436 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: coming into the end of his deal. He's gotta be 437 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: coming the end of his deal because he was in 438 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: that same class as Fowler. So that's right, that's right. 439 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: So anyway, that's just something to think about, just a 440 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: little rental. Okay, I'll get us to our next takeaway here, 441 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: and uh man, that's what the Saints. The Saints, they 442 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: got some chameleon in them. Eleventh play of the drive, 443 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: three O two left to play here in the third 444 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: Saints late at nineteen at ten Bridgewater undersetter quick throwing 445 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: out to the side, tays some hill across the goal line, 446 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: touchdown tight some hill. Look. I think it was my 447 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: takeaway two weeks ago, I said Sean Payton was the 448 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: coach of the year in the NFL. UM I stand 449 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: by that remark right now because the fact that the 450 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: Saints are five and oh with Teddy Bridgewater as the starter, 451 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: and they get to that fifth win not only down 452 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, but down their best offensive skill player, maybe 453 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: the best player in the team in Alpha Kamara. Going 454 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: up against the defense in Chicago, that is, you know, 455 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: we view as elite, and I think we're seeing just 456 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: what a difference it makes when they don't have a 457 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: Keem Hicks. But I think we're seeing, you know, to 458 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: go in without your two best players, not only on 459 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: offense but on the team and get a win in 460 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Chicago against a really good defense. They deserve all the 461 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: credit in the world. So does Teddy Bridgewater. I'm happy 462 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: to have been proved wrong that he's found a way 463 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: to win football games here for the New Orleans Saints, 464 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: Sean Payton deserves all the credit for putting them in 465 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: situations where he can accentuate his strengths and still find 466 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: ways to get the ball to Mike Thomas. Uh. They 467 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: did it without Jared Cook as well, who you know, 468 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: I know hasn't been a huge player for him. But 469 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: but man, I mean it's it's impressive death by a 470 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: million paper cuts passing attack. Teddy. Teddy is very comfortable 471 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: and he got that done. I talked to somebody, um 472 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: that has uh, you know, close relationship with somebody in 473 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: the building there with the Saints, and when Drew Brees 474 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: got hurt, I was told, Okay, they think Drew's probably 475 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna miss six games. And the hope, the hope is 476 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: that they can go five hundred. Right, if they can 477 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: go three and three in those six games and get 478 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: Drew back and they feel like they can make a run. 479 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: They haven't lost a game. I mean that to me, 480 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: you talk about Sean Payton coach of the year, I 481 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: don't know how you give it to anybody else. I 482 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: mean there's been you know, Frank Reiks and a wonderful job. 483 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: There's some other candidates, but uh, to me, he is 484 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: the coach of the year. And I think the other 485 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: thing with this team is every week and we talk 486 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: about the quarterback position and and how they're able to 487 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: do it, and the different stars they have on offense, 488 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: and every week their defensive line completely dominates a football game. 489 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: Bears couldn't run the ball right seven carries, seven times, 490 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: they threw it fifty four times, uh seventeen rushing yards 491 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: in this game, so they just completely eliminated that. And 492 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: then they can hunt the quarterback in their company. Um, 493 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: they're they're just really really good upfront. So you know, 494 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: I talked about complete teams, and I mentioned the Minnesota Vikings, 495 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: I mean New Orleans Saints. I think that's that's uh, 496 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: that's probably the two right there. You talking about two 497 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: most complete teams, the Patriots. I put in the Patriots 498 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: in their own little category because they do things differently 499 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: there and have their formula. But and if you're looking 500 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: at rosters and complete rosters, um, I think the Saints 501 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: and the Vikings, I put them right there. Look, I 502 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: think just a couple of things here. I think the 503 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: final four in the NFC is getting a lot more 504 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: interesting than it was at the beginning of this season. 505 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: Undated packers rolling right now, and then you've got the Saints. 506 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: You know, you throw in you know, maybe the Seahawks 507 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: slash Cowboys in that one of those spots in the Vikings. 508 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: This is getting really fun in the NFC. And we'll 509 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: talk about that as well in our aftermath heat check 510 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,239 Speaker 1: a bit later. This afternoon. But then the other thing 511 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: on the Saints is you were talking about their plan 512 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: if they could go five hundred. Okay, so they got 513 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: the Cardinals next at home. No way, I'm putting Drew 514 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: Brees out in that game. I mean, why why you 515 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: should be able to win that game at home? Then 516 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: they got a bye week, they gotta bye week, and 517 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: then they've got four straight in the division. Okay against 518 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons abysmal? Right, now, the Bucks, you know, 519 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: they are who they are, and then the Panthers have 520 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: been playing pretty well, and then the Falcons again. So 521 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna be talking about this team possibly 522 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: six six, seven, eight, nineteen eleven and one going into 523 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: week week thirteen, a week fourteen. That's the interesting thing too, 524 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: is um, you know, I would be for giving Drew 525 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: even more time. And Teddy's done a great job. When 526 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: you look at Green Bay six and one, you prefer 527 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: not to go to Lambeau in the postseason? I would agree. 528 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: In championship games, would agree. Also, look at San Francisco, 529 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: Who's who's sitting there undefeated? So um, and everybody knows 530 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: the advantage they have a plane in that dome. So um. 531 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: They've got to continue to put their best foot forward. 532 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: See if they get home field advantage all throughout. But 533 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: you're right, the NFC is gonna be a fun race, 534 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: all right. Well the next one for me, I look 535 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. This team is a problem. Ravens bunch 536 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: seven along the line, don't rush five Wilson steps up, 537 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: pumps once, throws along there, sideline, intercepted, picked off and 538 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: going to the house. It's Marcus Peters twenty ten five 539 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: touch downright VNS and welcome to the Ravens secondary. Marcus Peters. 540 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell you there's a formula for beating the Seahawks 541 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: at home. You just need to have two non offensive touchdowns. 542 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: That's what the Saints did up there, and Alex see 543 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: it once again here with the Baltimore Ravens. But look this, 544 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: this Ravens team is is so difficult to prepare for 545 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: because you just don't see what they do offensively. Ever, 546 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: and and we're gonna talk about in the aftermath. You 547 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: can look at the touchdown run on the fourth and 548 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: two of Lamar Jackson. They just don't know how to 549 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: fit it up. They do not know how to fit 550 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: it up. You've got four guys literally behind each other, 551 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: lined up in a straight line in the same gay 552 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: and uh, and it's just easy. Lamar Jackson cuts it 553 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: up inside. But I want to revisit what I talked 554 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: about last week, because if you listen to the show 555 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: last week, on the takeaways, I pleaded with the Baltimore Ravens, 556 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 1: let's let's let's let Lamar run, but let's do it 557 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: more out of the organic nature of the offense. Let 558 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: him scramble, not quite as many design quarterback runs. And 559 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: when we look at the scrambles, he was getting big 560 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: chunks of yards and he wasn't taking punishment because the 561 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: defense expands, there's lots of room for him to explore 562 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: without you know, getting killed. And even though he scored 563 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: touchdown a design quarterback run, if you look at their 564 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: five he had five carries of ten plus yards in 565 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: this game. Four of them were scrambles that totaled that 566 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: totaled ninety four yards. That's a lot, that a huge, 567 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: huge for this offense. And that's like you're trying to 568 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: it's a political season, right. I endorse that plan. I 569 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: endorse letting Lamar Jackson scramble. Let him scramble as much 570 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: as he wants. He carried about twenty times when they 571 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: come out of scrambles as opposed to design quarterback runs, 572 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: and they're their runs of ten thirty yards all on scrambles. Now, 573 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: tell me also, though, the effect that has on a 574 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: defense and their their mentality in their mindset. Because to me, 575 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: explosive pass game plays are back breakers. But then also 576 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: when you feel like you're covering and then the quarterback 577 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: scrambles for it's just like those are soul crushers. Man. Uh, 578 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: just momentum wise, if you believe in all that stuff. 579 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: I mean, the fields are about it. Think about it 580 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: getting the head of a pass rusher, getting the head 581 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: of a pass rusher. When you've got the thought in 582 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: your mind like gosh, don't get caught up field. If 583 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: I get caught up field, he's gone. So not Now 584 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: you don't get to just focus on beating your man 585 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: any way possible, which nine times out of ten you're 586 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: playing quarterbacks in the NFL, I just gotta beat the 587 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: guy in front of me. It doesn't matter if I 588 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: go through him inside, outside, I just gotta beat him, 589 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: and then I'm going to navigate my way towards the quarterback. 590 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: You can't do that against the Baltimore Ravens. You get 591 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: caught up field. He's gone over. And I think that 592 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: Baltimore defense deserves some credit in this game. They played 593 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: really well, especially after the first Russell Wilson touchdown. UM 594 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I think they what they held him 595 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: to three something total yards, which is pretty darn impressive. 596 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: I think Chris Carson still got uh where did he 597 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: end up here yet? So look that you hold the 598 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks under a hundred rushing there from their main guy, 599 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're doing something well. So I think 600 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: they finally showed up the Marcus Peters. Look, he does 601 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: what he does. Two defensive touchdowns. That's the game. That's 602 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: the game. They were fourteen points. They got two defensive touchdowns. Alright, 603 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: we got our guy Bucky back in the mix here, Buck, 604 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: great to see you man. Let's uh, let's let's roll through. 605 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: We got a couple, we got a couple of takeaways 606 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: here before we roll out of here. What you got 607 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: affording on his defense continues to flex. We're going through 608 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: the record books. It looks like the forty niners have 609 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: never won a game previously by this Ford nothing. Nick 610 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: blos So allowed the exploy. Let it all go on 611 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: the slipping slide when the Ford slide on the field. 612 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: Here after he got case kdom from behind and now 613 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: in his case closed real quick before you get in, 614 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: because you just heard the call. There. That's the friendly 615 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: homeside right, that's that's the forty Niners on the road 616 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: against the Redskins. That's their broadcast call. Before you get 617 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: your takeaway, I want to see if this was as appreciated, 618 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: shall we say, by the Redskins announcers. Poor Man rush 619 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: case the oh heat for the back star. He shot 620 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: that the nine yard line and that will do it. 621 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: Niners though slarting as though there were soccer players in 622 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: the left quarter up the field. As the clock get 623 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: zero's and the Niners are all slotted over the field, 624 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: they're looking like a bunch of fools out there coolly. 625 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: But they did. They win the game. They win the game. 626 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: Final score here at FedEx Field Niners none and she's 627 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: Niners nine. And you know what, let's just got to 628 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: remember that one day you watch. I mean, everybody likes 629 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: playing in the ring. I mean we all like playing 630 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: in the ring. Right, everyone likes to get him the 631 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: slipping slide. Really, I mean, they're gonna regret. They're gonna 632 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: regret this. We're gonna die. Come on, yeah, I mean 633 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: that's that's a tough one. But this risk, I mean, 634 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: this forty Niners defense is absolutely legit um. When I 635 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: look at just the way that they're constructed, the five 636 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: first round is along the front line, uh, the way 637 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: they've upgraded in the in the secondary. They got good 638 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: young play at linebacker. I mean they are terrific, and 639 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: they really massed an offensive performance that was from uh 640 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the squad. But playing a monsoon though 641 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, they decided they were going to run 642 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: the Both teams were gonna run the rockets. Yeah, they 643 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: were committed to run into rock But look for the 644 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: forty Niners too. To play the way that they played, 645 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: I think we have to really start considering them a 646 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: team that is one of the heavyweight contended to believe 647 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: that conference. And so when I look at them and 648 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: I look at the rest of the NFC West, because 649 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: the NFC West is really shaping up to be the 650 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: best division in football. When you have everyone that is 651 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: over five hundred, you have the forty Niners sitting there undefeated, 652 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: but you still have the Seahawks, You have the Ram 653 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: like you got a little life. And then Arizona has 654 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: quietly won three in a row. And so, um, we'll 655 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: see if this defense can kind of carry them over 656 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: the threshold. But at some point their offense is gonna 657 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: have to give them a little more. You know who 658 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: got the game ball in this game from the forty Niners, right, 659 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan gets the game ball in this little Shadahan 660 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: revenge game right as he goes back to it. But hey, 661 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: look look look at this. Look at this schedule that 662 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: going up. So you're trying to figure out how good 663 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: this Fort Dinner team is. Get the Panthers next, next, 664 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: next game out here in so that's coming up. Uh, 665 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: that'll be a great test to see how they do 666 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: against the Panthers. Then you're gonna get two games with 667 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: the Seahawks down the road. They're gonna go at the 668 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: Ravens at the Saints back to back weeks at the 669 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: beginning of December. Um, so we're not gonna have to wonder, 670 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: Like I've been saying for a long time, I think 671 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: we've all said on this show that we were buying 672 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: the forty niners. We believe in the forty niners. I 673 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: feel like there's some people out there saying, well, you know, 674 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: they just have kind of that one win over the 675 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: Rams and that's really kind of the only somewhat Marquis 676 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: win and people kind of poop poo what they've done. Uh, look, 677 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: well know there is going to be a full trial 678 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: and we will find out if if they are the 679 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: real deal. They got five of six division games remaining. Yeah, 680 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think the stress that you talked 681 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: about down at the end of the season is significant. 682 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: But what they could do is they can get ahead 683 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: of the curve. If they can run out and get 684 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: maybe the eight or nine wins right now, it takes 685 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure off of them down the stretch. 686 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: But at some point, yeah, we will see how good 687 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: and how legit this squad is. You talked about that 688 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: Ravens game at the end, and I heard you guys 689 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: talking about Lamar Jackton and the Baltimore Ravens and how 690 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: they kind of are finding themselves. Yeah, man, this man, 691 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: this league season is gonna be so great. It's gonna 692 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: say so great to watch it down the end. It's funny, man, 693 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be a very competitive NFC, 694 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: especially all right, bucket the Coats. They are the team 695 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: to be going on third and five floats, right side 696 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: on a crossing cutter exact Pascal makes a man miss. 697 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: Don't say no yet, that's a touchdowns Pascal on a 698 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: liven yard roll from Chacoby for seton man. Who would 699 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: have thought that the Indianapolis Colts would be sitting at 700 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: the top of the a f C South when Andrew 701 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: luck Like retired right on the eve of the season. 702 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: They have continued to be a team that impresses an 703 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: their press in a variety of different ways. Uh Jacob 704 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: said played arguably his best game as a pro three 705 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: d passing yards, four touchdowns, outdueled Deshun Wasson, who we've 706 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: talked about being an m VP candidate. And when I 707 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: look at this team and the way that they play, 708 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: they just are They're just a rock solid, UH team. 709 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: They can run it, they can throw it. Defensively, they 710 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: have young guys that can get after it. And so look, 711 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: I think Chris Ballot has done a really good job 712 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: of building a quote unquote team. And I know a 713 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: lot of times in this league we talked about quarterback 714 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: play and being quarterback centric. I think this is the 715 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: biggest uh indictment or the biggest example of building a 716 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: complete team. Because this team lost Andrew Luck, one of 717 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: the guys that we've talked about being maybe one of 718 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in our league. They lose him and 719 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: they don't skip a beat. It says a lot about 720 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 1: the depth and the talent that they had in place 721 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: with it without number twelve. Yeah, I mean, look, I'll 722 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: agree with you that Jacoble said, played a really good 723 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: game here. Um, that young defense is is impressive. Darius 724 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: Leonard back makes a big difference. Um. But then you know, 725 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: just for the Texans, man, it's just it's so disappointing. 726 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: You know, they go up and down, they big win 727 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: over the Chiefs, you come back and you lose this game. 728 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: I know, Deshaun Watson had a touchdown taken off the 729 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: board from a terrific play. He made an athletic play 730 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: to get out of a couple of sacks, had to 731 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: defender at his ankles, and the officials called him dead 732 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: uh and called the play dead and he ended up 733 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: throwing a touchdown at DeAndre Hopkins. You know, things like 734 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: that make a difference. But um, I'm not. I'm also 735 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: not counting the Texans out yet either. No, I mean 736 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you question what you got 737 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: j Bucky. I got a question for you, a question 738 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: for Bucks. So if I have told you after the 739 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs made their decision to trade d Ford bring in 740 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: Frank Clark, let Justin Houston walk that. As we sit 741 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: right now through what are we through seven weeks of 742 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: the season, Justin Houston has four sacks. D Ford has 743 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: four and a half sacks. Frank Clark has three sacks. 744 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: You know last year, remember we just killed for three 745 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: das defense did have some players. Yeah, yeah, it did. 746 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: It's interesting that. I was interesting because I felt like 747 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: Justin Houston and DFO. I felt like D four played 748 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: great for Kana City last year. I know, um, people 749 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: have discussed, like Frank Clark, benn a chump O. D 750 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: four kind of freaked out. And then with Justin Houston, 751 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: he had been so good for so long, but really 752 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: injuries they kind of caught up with him. You talk 753 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: about those two guys man cans. She certainly could use those, 754 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: but justin Houston has been a nice addition to what 755 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: they have on the coast defense. Can I, uh, we're 756 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: wrapped up our our tent takeaways here? Can I give 757 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: one bonus takeaway? Real quick bonus, alright, go ahead, bonus 758 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: takeaway coming from Conference USA Southern Miss Law Tech in 759 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: a terrific rivalry game down in Rust in Louisiana. Happened 760 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: to be there for that one. Uh, DJ, you had 761 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: mentioned you did, and DJ's taking off his headset. Look 762 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: at that take off. Wow, want to hear about here? 763 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: About great? I want to hear about it because DJ 764 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: had said that he thought when he was looking at 765 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: the draftable players in that team that Legarius sneed the 766 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: safety was probably their their their best prospect. And you 767 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: know Senior Bowl Senior Bowl watch list guy, But you 768 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: gotta go back and look at a meet robertson twenty 769 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: one Louisiana techs a five ft nine corner that's kind 770 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: of tiny. Now he's like the second leading tackler's tiny. 771 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: Biggest hit of the game came from a meeting probably 772 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: three interceptions of the best quarterback in Conference USA, Jack 773 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: a Brand. Okay, that's this game was like he had 774 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: three picks. Three picks. He's the he is fps is 775 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: current active leader in career interceptions. He's got fourteen. There's 776 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions. It reminds me of the kid 777 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: that we saw was there, just telling you go back 778 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: and look at the tape. Okay, and just remember this. 779 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: When path starts rolling, I hear your voice on that 780 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: you should get hold on, hold on.
