1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: What's up everybody, d J, Bucky Here a little takeaway 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: podcast after a really interesting week of football would be 4 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: the word I would use. How about you, Buck? It 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: is an interesting week. But here's what I like. I 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: like that football is now becoming more like real football 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: because once we get to Thanksgiving, teams begin to play 8 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: what we call big boy football, more physical, a little 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: more physical. You see the running game. Quarterbacks matter, and 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: you can't hide your quarterback when we get through this stretch, 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: and I think what you're seeing the teams that are 12 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: legitimate contenders, they can run the ball when they need 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: to run it, but they also again very re efficient 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: quarterback play. There you go. Let's let's jump into our 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: tent takeaways here, starting off with number one, the Pittsburgh 16 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: Steelers survive. Ben gets the staff, rolls right, he looks, 17 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: he runs, he died, and he's in. He's in, He's in, 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: he's got a touchdowns, has up touchdown, rolling right, but 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm quite called that's not going on. There you go, 20 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers down on most of this football game against 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: the Jacks team that beat him. Twice last year Buck, 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: and I thought maybe they just had their number. But 23 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: the Steelers do what they've done for decades now. They 24 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: find a way to get it done. And watching the tape, 25 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: defensively for the Steelers, because they're defensively kept him in 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: this ball game until their offense could get their footing. 27 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Ben had some turnovers. I'll tell you what, man, when 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: you watch Cam Hayward inside working with Hargrave, that is 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: as good at the interior combinations we have in the 30 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: NFL right now. They ran the same game a couple 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: of times got sacks. I think they ended up with 32 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: six sacks in this game. T J. Watt had two sacks, 33 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: two forced fumbles. Bud Dupree was collapsed in the pocket 34 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: on his side. And I know this Jack's offensive line 35 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: is not what people were hoping it was gonna be. 36 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: But I thought that defensive front for the Steelers kept 37 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: him in this ball game. Yeah, the defense kept him 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: in the game. And you know a couple of things 39 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: that kept them in the game. The defense definitely played 40 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: well enough to keep them in the game. The lack 41 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: of confidence in Blake Borders also helped him stay in 42 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: the game. Uh. The Jacksonvie Jaguars random ball on forty 43 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: three uh, forty three rushing attempts. Uh. They had their way, 44 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: they were having success, but to finish games out, you 45 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: still have to be able to get plays in the 46 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: passing game. And when I look at the Jaguars passing game, 47 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: you can have the issues at quarterback, but they also 48 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: don't have an established playmaker in the passing game that 49 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: they can lean on to climb to close it out. 50 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: And for all the good things that the defense does 51 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, they broke down in critical moments. Big 52 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: play to Antonio Brown, the safety just vacase the middle 53 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: of the field, leads a wide open seventy of your 54 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: touchdown and then you know Jalen Ramsey had a terrific game. 55 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: But there was a miscommunication on a rub route that 56 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown catches on a critical third and ten where 57 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: he's expecting a Lark safety to be in the middle 58 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: and he's not there. And so when I look at 59 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, I think the Jacksonvie Jaguars learned a 60 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: critical lesson this year. Just because you have a great 61 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: year one year, it doesn't carry over. You gotta go 62 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: back and do the same things. You gotta re earn 63 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: the right to be in that spot, and they're learning 64 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: that if you don't do the work, it's hard to 65 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: get there. All right, what's your what's your first takeaway? 66 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are the best team in the NFC. So 67 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: it's forty two for the wind operation good forty two 68 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: away her for the wind Cowboys. Wind. Hey. Now see, now, 69 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: this is the Dallas Cowboys team that I was just 70 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: spec to see in the beginning of the year. This 71 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: is a team that I thought we received. Look, it 72 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: has to be a team that is built around Ezekiel Elliott. 73 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: We thought that Scott Lynnehan would make it a point 74 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: to feature Ezekiel Elliot not only as a runner, but 75 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: as a receiver. The last two weeks we have seen 76 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys put everything on Ezekiel Elliott and he 77 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: has responded in splendid fashion. When you look at his game, 78 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: twenty two carries, twenty three carries, hundred twent two yards 79 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: a touchdown, um got over two hundred scrimmine yards because 80 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: he had a couple of big plays in the passing game. 81 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: This is Ezekiel Elliott that everyone wanted to see seven 82 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: catches in the passing game. I mean, give it to him. 83 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: That is what it is. And I think we have 84 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: to begin to talk about him being in that same 85 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: conversation with Todd Gurley and leaving Bell in terms of 86 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: being the best all of around complete back when he 87 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: is going. The Dallas Cowboys are hard to be because 88 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: they can control the game, limit the exposure to their defense, 89 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: and they can win in the end, which is what 90 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: they were able to do against the Falcons. Now you know, look, 91 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys might end up being the best team in 92 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: the nfcast. I don't know. I'm gonna I'm gonna argue 93 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: that with you. The only thing I would say my 94 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: takeaway watching this was, uh, I mean, you know, the 95 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense was more of the story than even in 96 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. I mean this Falcon's offense holding them the 97 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: way they did hold them and check hold them under 98 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: twenty points. I thought the Cowboys offense going up against 99 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: the Falcons defense that's been ravaged by injuries, a defense 100 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: that we saw get torched in Cleveland, I don't you know. 101 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: I know they're efficient, but only putting up twenty two 102 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: points didn't get me all that fired up about their 103 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: offense as much as I would say holding the Falcons 104 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: to nineteen and flying around with Laton Vanderish and company. 105 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: On defense, how about Look, I knew we talked about 106 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: him doing the draft process, but I'm gonna be honest, 107 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think he would be like this. I didn't 108 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: think he would be that good. I think it's the 109 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: situation of a top prospect going to the right team 110 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: that can maximize the skills. Look, man, I don't care 111 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: when Sean Lee plays Sean, when Sean leevit earns, Sean 112 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 1: leaves a backup. I'm going with the young guys because 113 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: jay Len Smith is also beginning to play well. Jalen 114 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: Smith l v e that young defense likes that one 115 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: more quick thing there. Teams don't invest high picks and 116 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 1: linebackers very much anymore. And now I think you're seeing 117 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: what they did. We're seeing how the Bears defense is 118 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: doing and and I mean if they think about it, yeah, 119 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: Roquan Smith, Yeah you can count Leonard Floyd in that. 120 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: Then making a big deal for Khalil Mack for all 121 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: intensive persons is an outside linebacker, Yeah, you can invest 122 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: in that position. There. You go all right, let's get 123 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: to the next takeaway from me. Uh, Kirk Cousins, he 124 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: just he wasn't good enough. Four man Bears rushed Cousins 125 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: throwing right side. You don't sept it picked off by 126 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson. Buckle up sideline of the ten to the 127 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: five of the touchdown. Eddie checkson where the pick six 128 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: and it's twenty to six Chicago now fourteen to six 129 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: at the time of that interception, which was returned for 130 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Really, Oh, look, the narratives been out there 131 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: for a long time. I'm a Kirk Cousin supporter, but 132 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 1: the narrative exists. He does not play well in primetime games, 133 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: on big stages. He hasn't been at his best. Now. 134 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: Some of those I can pen on on other parts 135 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: of the team, with the offensive line, no run game, 136 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: or defense, but I can't. I can't make excuses on 137 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: this one. Buck when you when you go back and 138 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: watch it. He misses a deep ball early in the 139 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: game to Stavon Dick. Should have been a long touchdown, 140 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: wide open, NFL open. You've got to find a way 141 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: to make that throw. And then the two interceptions, just 142 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: breaking those down real quick. The first one, it's a 143 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: miscommunication with Rudolph Okay, so a lot of times. So 144 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: it's a miscommunication. I don't put it on the quarterback. 145 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: But he's throwing off of his back foot, and we 146 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: always talk about backfoot floaters. Nothing good is gonna happen 147 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: on a backfoot float throwing the ball over the middle 148 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: of the field. So even if you think he's going 149 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: to convert that against cover two and run down the seam, 150 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: that ball is on a line. So I can't give 151 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: him a free pass for the miscommunication. If it was 152 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: on a line, it's an incompletion. But the fact that 153 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: you just kind of lay the ball up in the 154 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: air and with a deep safety hits him right in 155 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: the chest like that's that has nothing to do even 156 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: with the miscommunication, that's a terrible throw. And the other 157 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: and the other interception to pick six, it's covered two. 158 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: You've got a flat corners. You see the combination in 159 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: high school, you sure you see it each and every week. 160 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: You see the corner sink. You gotta take the flat 161 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: gotta take it. And not only the balls picked off 162 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: by Eddie Jackson because he stared it down. If it 163 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: wasn't picked off by Eddie Jackson would have been picked 164 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: off by the corner. He took him right to the football. 165 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: He's got to take what the defense has given him. 166 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: You know, as much as we can lay the blame 167 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: or Kirk Cousins, I think you have to talk about 168 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, John D. Philippo. Uh, fourteen rushing attempts. 169 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the team, the Minnesota Vikings were 170 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: built on their defense. And how many times I mean 171 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: they threw it like he has forty six pass attempts 172 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: that doesn't include sacks or whatever. You're not going to 173 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: win the National Football League being that one dimensional. They 174 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: have to run the ball, and even when it's not 175 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: successful early in the game, you have to have a 176 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: level of balance to make the defense play the way 177 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: that you want to play, to create some of the 178 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: opportunities that you want on play action. Even if they 179 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: come out throwing early play action and all that other stuff, 180 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: at some point the game has to settle down enough 181 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: when they run the ball. You can't have games where 182 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: you don't have fourteen rushing attempts. You can't win. No, 183 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that one, all right, Keep keep 184 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: the train rolling here. What's next game is on the 185 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: line fourth and three, dalp enough throw, it's passed near sideline, 186 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: is broke it up incomplete and with one forty two 187 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: leftop play that Hayes in the barn. Marlon Humphrey broke 188 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: up the past that was intended for Cony Core. Baltimore 189 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: Ravens offense packs more punch with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. 190 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's not ugly. It's not one of 191 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: those things that is going to be aesthetically pleasing to 192 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: those who love uh seeing balls thrown through the air. 193 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson coming into this offense forced to Baltimore 194 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Ravens to play a different style. They're running read option 195 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: the entire time. But the results were outstanding. Fifty four 196 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: rushing attempts, two hundred and sixty five rushing yards, two 197 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns come. I mean for the Ravens ball carries, two 198 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: guys go over one hundred yards. Now, Lamar Jackson had 199 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: twenty seven carries. You don't want to see him run 200 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: any thing, think, I don't want to see him running 201 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: that much. But Gus Edwards, I know what you're saying. 202 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: Who Gus Edwards had a hundred and fifteen yards on 203 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: seventeen attempts. Hold up, I'm gonna I'm gonna show you 204 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: the text that I sent to a mutual friend of 205 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: ours in the organization. This was a text I sent 206 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: him this morning. You see that. You can read it. 207 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: You can read it out, you can read it out 208 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: the heck where I sent him. I sent it to 209 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: my buddies and the said, who the heck is Gus Edwards. 210 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: So I got I got some answers. I talked to him, undrafted, 211 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent, I think from Rutgers. He was a 212 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: grad transfer from Miami, so he had been at Miami 213 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: and then transferred to Rutgers. It's got some size ran 214 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: four or five too. But I asked him what's the 215 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: difference between him and Alex Collins? And the answer that 216 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: I got was, well, he's Alex Collins, get bounced happy 217 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: every now and then. And he said, this kid just 218 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: gonna hit it in the middle. But to be honestly, 219 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: whoever's gonna play running back with Lamar Jackson is gonna 220 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: have lanes and look, it's it's part of the r 221 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: G three effect. When r G three went to Washington. 222 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: Alfred Morris, Alfred Morris was a sixth round pick. Alfred 223 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: Morris may have led the league in Russian that year 224 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: if I'm not benefactor, but he's a benefactor. And what 225 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: you saw very early in this game watching and Lamar 226 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Jackson pulls a couple of times, had some big runs 227 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: very early first drive. All of a sudden, the defense 228 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: is like, oh, we gotta pay attention to the quarterback. 229 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: So now you started gashing with the running game and 230 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: it's the yang and the yang. With that that said, 231 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to evolve this offense to doing more 232 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: than just that. They have to find a way to 233 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: have a complimentary passing game to go with it. They 234 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have that in place, and they were able 235 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: to get away with it, but they need to be 236 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: able to take some shots off play action. They need 237 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: to have some complimentary throws to help Lamar Jackson get 238 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: into a groove. But first game out it is different. 239 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard for teams to prepare for because 240 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: you just can't simulate what he does in practice. Alright, 241 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: couple of things. I'm gonna go through his completions real quick, 242 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: and then I have a thought on on the Bengals defense. 243 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: Here buck uh thirteen completions. You're ready, uh play action 244 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: in the flat scramble in the flat, uh pure drop back, 245 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: his shallow cross, pure drop back, hit his slant play 246 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: action in the flat, play action on slant drop back, 247 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: hit a hitch uh drop back, scrambled, Uh play action 248 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: hit a little tight end pop drop back dig drop 249 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: back dig. Those were his two best throws a day. 250 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: Uh as another scramble, make a play uh completion and 251 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: then another shallow cross. So what we said about Lamar 252 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Jackson going through the process, everything coming in, comfortable, everything 253 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: short underneath, comfortable, driving the ball outside. This thing we 254 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: saw said it is pro day. They didn't do it 255 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: one time. I don't think they threw the ball over 256 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: twenty yards, but one time in this entire game. So 257 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: they weren't doing that. So that's my first thought there. 258 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to They're gonna have to grow and 259 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: evolve this offense a little bit more in that direction. 260 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: On the Cincinnati Bengals, and I know Marvin Lewis is 261 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: taking over this defense, and I know they got shredded 262 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: by the Cleveland Browns. This was the worst defensive game 263 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: plan I've seen, and I don't know when their safeties 264 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: are in the parking lot. We just talked. They did 265 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: not even attempt to push the ball vertically down the film. 266 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Why are your safeties playing back crop? Make this a 267 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: half court game. Crowd the line of scrimmage. Take that away. 268 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: You secondary did a fenders to play the run. They 269 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: got continually flat footed and reached on the edge on 270 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: zone read. I don't know how one thing if Lamar 271 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: Jackson is gonna run that many times. Okay, we're gonna 272 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: set containing and we're gonna force him into big guys, 273 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: make him run back into the middle field, into big bodies, 274 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: and then we'll see how long they want to keep 275 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: doing that. When you give him a soft edge and 276 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna take off and go out of balance. For 277 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? The funny 278 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: thing about this version of Lamar Jackson, it wasn't even 279 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: the exciting one that we saw at Louisville. He was 280 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: just kind of tiptoe and and you could tell that 281 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: he had been coached to like a try and get 282 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: out of bounds, try and do some things. I was 283 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: waiting to be like, man, let it loose, go ahead 284 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: and just but the's third and four early in this game, 285 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: and they go empty. Okay, quarterbacks run on your defensive 286 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: coordinator hat for a second. They're in empty, Your safeties 287 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: are in the parking lot. You've got no, no, no. 288 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: They run both inside, both inside receivers, run out routes. 289 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: You chase them. It was like the Red Sea. I'm like, 290 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: this is high school football, Like, how do you do that? 291 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: How do you give him that? I mean I did 292 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: see that. I was like, I was like, man like court, like, 293 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: that's first thing. That's one daughter would be yelling, WA's 294 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: a draw? What's the draw? What are you doing? That? 295 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: Ran that quarterback draw three times? Unbelievable anyway, let him 296 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: get loose to first drive he had like fifty yards 297 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: and a defense. Man, Man, you can let Lamar Jackson 298 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: just have a day. Unbelievable. All right, I got caught 299 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: up there. Let's keep this thing moving here up Drew 300 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: Brees one of the best games of his career. Fourth 301 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: down in seven, coming up empty backfield for Breeze. Breeze 302 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: takes the snap, drops back, looks to his rank, lost 303 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: one down the sideline. I have a come here, turn 304 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: it to Tendon. Alvin come here up yards in the 305 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: Saints continue to dance in the Superdome. Now, I took 306 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: at along there on Lamar Jackson to get this thing 307 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: back on track. I can quickly go through this buck 308 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: That was as impressive a quarterback tape as I as 309 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: I've watched a long time. Drew Breeze had ten to 310 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: twelve throws in this In this game, guys are plastered 311 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: in coverage and there's I mean, I'm talking about the 312 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: windows he's putting the football with his accuracy. I don't 313 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen anything like it. And I'm 314 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: sitting here one like, you can't throw that ball? Oh 315 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 1: my yeah, he just threw that ball. He finds a 316 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: way to fit it in. And the other thing is 317 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: Tray Kwon Smith is a little bit of a revelation here. 318 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: The rookie had a UCF and went back and looked 319 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: at my notes. Um, he dropped one point seven percent 320 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: of the balls to him at UCF. So you've got 321 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas who just runs good routes and catches everything. 322 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Now you bring in Tray Kwan Smith. Guess what big 323 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: runs good routes, catches everything, and you've got the most 324 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: accurate quarterback in the history of the NFL. Good luck, 325 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: And I think if if you have time, anyone who 326 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: is listening to the pod, please read Peter King's column 327 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: that's up today uh Football World in America. He is 328 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: behind the scenes with the New Orleans Saints and it 329 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: was game planning. He talked about how they want to attack, 330 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: how they put it together. Anybody's interested in quarterback play 331 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: will love it. I think the big thing my takeaway 332 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: is we can talk about Drew Brees and what they 333 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: were able to do. They're running backs, mark ingram Alvin Kamara, 334 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the way that they utilized them, the way they use 335 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: Avacamar as a decoy to get mark Ingram off, and 336 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: the way to use Kamara in the passing game. It's fantastic. Look, 337 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: this team is balanced. They can do whatever they want. 338 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: They can run and they can throw it. They can 339 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: attack you, and defensively, Eli Apple has been a nice 340 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: addition to them. They put him in a comfort level 341 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: with Marshall Lattimore Von Bill, two of his teammates from 342 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I think he's kind of found himself in 343 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: terms of his confidence. He's playing much much better in 344 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: the back end now. I don't. I don't gamble. You know, hypothetically, 345 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: if you've ever seen somebody when they when they take 346 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: all their chips. Let's say, let's say you're playing black jack, 347 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: put put all your chips in. Uh huh last last hand, 348 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: all your chips are in, and then uh and then 349 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you get a face card on 350 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: the deal and you or you get an ace and 351 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: you kind of just feel like, Okay, I think we're 352 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: this might pay off for me. The Saints went all in. 353 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: They went they traded the first round pick from Marcus 354 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: Davenport even though he's been injured. Uh, you made that 355 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: trade for Eli Apple. They have gone all in with 356 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: this football team, and so far, Buck, it's looking like 357 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: they hit might might hit the little black jack. Yeah, 358 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: they might have hit it. You know. The one thing 359 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: you wanted, are they gonna have like a little skinned 360 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: where they have some adversity.

Andrew 384 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: Luck going for a home run deep down Peel looking 385 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: for t Y Hilston. Hilton makes the catch pleas of 386 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: the ten five down tots down t hy down from 387 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. See why and the Coms leading sixteen and nothing? 388 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: I mean, don't look now, but Andrew Lucky and company 389 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: have worked themselves into a position where they can make 390 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: the playoffs better. Yeah, they may be able to change 391 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans for the Division Crown. I know there 392 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: a couple of games back, but the way that they 393 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: are playing, man, it has been outstanding. We can talk 394 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: about the rear mergers that Andrew Luck is one of 395 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks and football, but really it's the construction 396 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: of a solid offensive line and Frank Reich's timely play 397 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: all that has helped this team find their rhythm. I 398 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: love what I've seen it from the Indianapolis Colts. They 399 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: played football the right way. Five games no sacks, right, 400 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: I went back and looked it up. How about how 401 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: many times he's been hitting those games? This last game 402 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: against Tennessee, you know how many times Andrew Luck was 403 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: hit zero clean pocket Jacksonville, get hit twice against the Raiders, 404 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: got hit once against Buffalo, he got hit twice and 405 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: the Jets hit him four times. I think Winner Williams 406 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: hit him three, but I mean that no sacks in 407 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: those games, but barely even getting hit, barely even getting touched. 408 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: I put a play on on Instagram. We just wanted 409 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: to show how clean this pocket was. On the long 410 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: touchdown to t Y Hilton in the follow through, it 411 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: looked like reminiscent just being out the driving range, just 412 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, just chilling, just kind of nice and easy. 413 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: Hit some balls. That's that's I haven't seen Andrew lucky 414 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: at a chance to do that, you know. And and 415 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 1: the funny thing about this game, this was a t 416 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: Y Hilton game. Previously Dorry Jackson shadowed him by the way. 417 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: It had been all about their ability to really target 418 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: the tight ends. They have so many tight ends that 419 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: they could use Jack Door, Eric Ibram Moli Cox, Eric's 420 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: will on and on and on. But this game and 421 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: they went outside, they found a matchup in t Y 422 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: l and the relentlessly attacked it. Not for two touchdowns 423 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: every seventeen point to yards with catch, And not only 424 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: did he have nine receptions, he was only targeted nine times. 425 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: So every time here wide open, that works all right 426 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: next to one here Von Miller. He's a he's a 427 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: game record, A kick to win it, snap place kick 428 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: on the way, it is gone. It's over. Deniver celebrates 429 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: like I've rarely seen in a regular season game. Yeah, 430 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: they were celebrating. All right, this is a game. Look, 431 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers had a chance in this football game. They 432 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: were up nineteen nineteen to seven. They're driving to score. 433 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a twenty six seven. It's a laugher. 434 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: It's over. And then all of a sudden, Von Miller 435 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: just comes out of nowhere, picks off a little screen, 436 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: takes it all the way back almost for a touchdown. 437 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: They end up scoring there all of a sudden. Now 438 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: you've got a ball game. Uh. And then at the 439 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: end of the game, in a in a very just 440 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: peculiar end of the game scenario, Chargers hit Antonio Gates 441 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: for a big first down third and like third and seven. 442 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: It was long, beautiful throw from Rivers. They get a 443 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: first down. They on first down then run the ball 444 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: for seven yards with Melvin Gordon. It's second three. They've 445 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: just exhausted the time out to the Denver Broncoes. No 446 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: time outs left here. It's a two minute warning or no, no, sorry, sorry, 447 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: right right before the two minute warring. So then now 448 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: it's second three. They have a run to the right, 449 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon goes the wrong way to the left, so 450 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has to take a sack four yards. So 451 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: now it's third and seven. Now at this point, I'm 452 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: third and seven, two minute warning. They're out of time outs. 453 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: So you're at the you're at the you're going in, 454 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: You're at the forty five ish around midfield. So what's 455 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: the deal here. You've you've got to keep the clock moving. 456 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna run the football or it's gonna be an automatic. 457 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: Com did you take it all the way down to 458 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: one or so before there is gonna go off the clock. 459 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: So the Chargers want to try and win the game, 460 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: they want to throw the ball. I understand that it's 461 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: gotta be I mean, it's got to be pleaded no 462 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: matter what. So the play and Philip Rivers explained this 463 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: after the game. But the play is a is a 464 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: pass play down the field, I guess, trying to get 465 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: the seven yards, he sees what he thinks he's going 466 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: to be kind of a press bail coverage, so he 467 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: checks into a tunnel screen. Now, keep in mind, von 468 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: Miller's already picked off a screen in this game, so 469 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: he drops. He has a snap in the gun, and 470 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: von Miller sniffs out immediately and darts over there. So 471 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, his immediate reaction is dirt, dirt, the ball, 472 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: don't turn. The clock stops. You've got that, You've got 473 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: you fall down, you're you're you fall down five yards, 474 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: seven yards, it doesn't matter. You take the sack. Forty 475 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: seconds run off the clock. Case Kim's gonna have just 476 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: about a minute, you're gonna They pointed the ball down 477 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: to the eight yard line. They had, they had they 478 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: were the eight, and you take forty seconds or everything. 479 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: They kicked the game winning field goal with three seconds left, 480 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: and you gave him four you get for a forty seconds. 481 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: It just they just completely just literally blew the end 482 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: of the game. They blew the sequence, and um everyone, 483 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's tough because you have to understand 484 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: and manage game secret and game scenario. And obviously von 485 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: Miller was either he made the game. He just he 486 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: single handily won that game for that team. I know 487 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: they made Keena made some plays, Courtland Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders. 488 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: All that does not happen without von Miller's first interception 489 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: and the threat of his second interception. That changed the game, 490 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: change the game. And that's one that you and you 491 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: can't get back. You to l A Charges, you gotta 492 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: have that you wels is because just think if if 493 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: tonight on Monday Night, the kN C the Chiefs lose 494 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: to the l A Rams, the Charges sitting right there 495 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: and you're tied, You're it's the perfect and yeah, you 496 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: can't lose that football game. Anyways, that was it was. 497 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: It was interesting day out there at the stubub What's 498 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: what's next on the list?

Third and one at 500 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: the two, manning over center, offset I left hand off 501 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: Barkley specially is up the middle for a touchdown, and 502 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: the Giants responded, Now lead it thirty eight with three fifties. 503 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: You to go third touchdown for sake, Kuon Barkley. Look, 504 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: he's pretty good. He he is definitely everything that we 505 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: talked about. We talked about it being the best prospect 506 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: in the draft. And even though um it's kind of 507 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: diced to take a running back up there, He has 508 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: been everything that New York Johns could hope for as 509 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: a playmaker. Twenty seven carriers, one forty two, two touchdowns, 510 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: catch the ball out the back field, getting listened, I 511 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: mean two for ten. But what he is able to do, 512 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: he allows them to be able to solve the game away. 513 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: And people gonna look at the stat line and say, hey, 514 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: Eli Manning is playing back. Maybe maybe just maybe seventeen 515 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: of eighteen Tampa is terrible when yours two touchdowns. But 516 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: what I found was interesting. He was ten of chan 517 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: on play action passes and that accounted for one and 518 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: fifty five of those passing yards. And whatever the cause 519 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: and effect of the running game is. By being able 520 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: to fake the ball to say Kwan Barkley, they were 521 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: able to really create some past completion opportunities for Eli Manning. 522 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: For a guy who has struggled, being able to lean 523 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: on the threat of the run and the running game 524 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: has really been essential. And this one of the reasons 525 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: why the Johnston feeling optimistic about an opportunity being able 526 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: to make a run. They've got to they gotta run 527 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: the table. They've got seven losses and it hasn't it's 528 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: been since two I believe since a team in the 529 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: NFC East won the division with eight wins, so dodds 530 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: are you gotta get to nine? And they have seven losses, 531 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: so you do the math. They have to run the table. 532 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: That means looking at their schedule. Uh, they need to 533 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: win this week at Philadelphia at home versus the Bears, 534 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: at the Redskins at home versus the Titans at the Colts. Uh, 535 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: and then finish up at home versus the Cowboys. They 536 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: have got to find a way, uh to rattle those 537 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: all off in a row to get to the to 538 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: get to the postseason. All, let's get to the next one. 539 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: Let's stay in the division. What an awful injury for 540 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: Alex Smith. There comes up bloods called mc clay. Alex 541 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: Smith uder hude, he's steam rolled at the port of 542 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: yard line that takes him out of field goal rage 543 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: and Alex Smith is hurt. Alex Smith has heard he 544 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: clutched his right d as he went down and he 545 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: is hurt. Yeah, it was. It was a gruesome injury. There, 546 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: broke a couple of bones in his leg there. And 547 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: when you hear those whistles and they're calling people out 548 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: like that, and then you see the air cast come out, 549 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: you you know what's that's gonna do it for the 550 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: season for Alex Smith and this Redskins team. Bucks still 551 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: still hanging in there in first place at the moment, 552 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: but when you look at where they are health wise 553 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: at the offensive line, and now it's gonna be Colte 554 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: McCoy's turn. I just man, even in a in a 555 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: division where nobody seems to want to win it, I 556 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: have a hard time figuring out how they get to 557 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: the finish line here in the East. Yeah, it's tough 558 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: because I felt I feel like Alex Smith gave them 559 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win the East because, uh, prior to 560 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: Sunday's game, he did a good job of taking care 561 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: of the ball. He had a couple of turnovers in 562 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: the game to kind of help the Houston Texans. But 563 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: normally he's the perfect guy for the way that they 564 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: want to play a little more Conservatives not gonna put 565 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 1: the ball in harm's way. They're gonna lean on their 566 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: running game and their defense to get wins. Now with 567 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: Cope McCoy coming in, and I know Jake Gruden and 568 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: that staff is really really they're really really high on 569 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Colte McCoy and what he's been able to do for 570 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: them in the past. But we'll see it's a little 571 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: different being the starter now. They need him to be 572 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: a playmaker as opposed to fill in. We'll see if 573 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: he can do it, because the the schedule is kind 574 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: of tough for them to kind of coast into the 575 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: winner circle. We'll see if McCoy can play well enough 576 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: to get them there. It's good to get to the 577 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: final take away here Buck Riverboat Runs gambles backfirst for 578 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Newton's got the ball, looks looks looks plenty 579 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: of time. Now pressure comes flute prot that's a many 580 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: sounding wide. They did complaine the linon tight on in 581 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: the league. People is looking for jarious right wing couple. 582 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: Why I don't think whoa just Sally? Why that was 583 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: a good troll back Cam Movies, Because you're right, the 584 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: Jarl's right was wy wide open on that foot and 585 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: Cam had an all day long. That's a bad throne. 586 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't really have an issue with 587 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: Riverboat Run going for two in that situation. Got execute, 588 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: that's a that's all deal. I just hated a play 589 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: call of the million times that we've seen the Carolina 590 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: Panthers down in the red zone tight red. We've seen 591 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: quarterback power, We've seen various own reads, We've seen all 592 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: kinds of creative stuff. I don't like a traditional drop 593 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: back pass for him. But even with that, with the 594 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: play call, when I'm looking at the Cam draws back 595 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: and you're going tick, I'm like, is he gonna run? 596 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: Like even even when you look to his left it's 597 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: him and one defender. We haven't seen many people that 598 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: have been able to take him down. You take a charge, 599 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: you can take a charge. I just can't understand for 600 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: the life of me why he just didn't run it 601 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: in like it was right there, just just running in. 602 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: The throw was bad and all that other stuff, and yeah, 603 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: you should be able to make a throw whatever, But 604 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, man, I'll make somebody tackle Cam Newton's what 605 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean, your best player, Give it to your best 606 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: player and say, hey, can't I don't give you a 607 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: two way go little run pass option. You know, you 608 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: just running there and if you don't like it, I mean, 609 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: but something. I mean, this dude is the most prolific 610 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: score at quarterback when it comes to running bad run 611 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: the ball in quit trying to prove to people that 612 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: you can throw it. I can't. I can't argue with that. 613 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: But what a one of the more shocking games I think. Man, 614 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 1: look at the Chargers game was a big surprise. But man, 615 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: the Panthers losing that one to the lines and not 616 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: give aware he did not see that one coming. Maybe 617 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: Maddie Pee knew something. Maybe practice in this snow makes 618 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: you tough for indoors.
