1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: What's up, everybody? 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks DJ and Bucky with you. 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 2: Fuck. 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Uh, not a lot of sleep last night, buddy. 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 2: The uh the. 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: Old Monday, the old Monday night turnaround. I mean, I 8 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: guess it's a good thing. It's not a road game 9 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: because then you're really get home in the middle of 10 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: the night. But uh, I love I love games at 11 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: so Fi. It's a great atmosphere. It was unbelievable atmosphere 12 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: is a crazy game last night, but getting out of 13 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: that stadium is a flipping nightmare. 14 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 3: No, I don't envy you. I know Monday nights in 15 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: Englewood can be tough. When I when I when I 16 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 3: just watched the game, and I watched how it was, 17 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: because it can be a bit of an Eagles takeover. 18 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 3: There a lot of Philly for Eagles fans that are 19 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 3: in town and then they descend upon so Fi, So 20 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: it can be a bit of a mess. 21 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: But it had to be a great game to watch. 22 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 3: And I just keep saying this man, Tony Jefferson has 23 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: to be my age. But he's still playing, I mean, 24 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: like still playing, still being around the ball, make plays 25 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: or whatever. So good for him, like Carl had a 26 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 3: great career. 27 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: I mean he's set the stage for you know, people 28 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: coming out of retirement, which we'll get to another person. 29 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: Who's who's going to do that? Here it sounds like shortly, 30 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: but I mean the man was in the scouting department 31 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: for the Ravens and totally ready to move on. And 32 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: then I always come back and he's made some enormous, 33 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: enormous interceptions for this Chargers team. And it goes back 34 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: to you know, what you preach as a high school coach, 35 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: Buck good things happen when you chase the ball man good. 36 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: Uh So there are a few different things because I 37 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: got to say this, one of my assistant coaches is 38 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: like the biggest Charger fan, and so he was in 39 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: the building watching it. And weird team that plays a 40 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: lot his own. But one of the benefits of playing 41 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: zoner You've seen it on your own eyes with Jesse 42 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: minner Man when you play zone and you get eyes 43 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: on the ball and then just the reaction, so it's 44 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: not even Tony Jefferson's play, it's the corner. Yeah, Kim 45 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: Hart just kind of hanging out in the flat, he 46 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 3: sees Jalen and eyes he makes a late we actually 47 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: get a tip, and then you talk about Tony Jefferson 48 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: running to the ball. It is just that kind of stuff. 49 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 3: And we've seen more teams go to his own looks. 50 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: But when you play visit and break tips and overthrows, 51 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 3: becomes a real thing when it comes to taking. 52 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: The ball away. 53 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was a real thing. 54 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: And last night, you know, I give Justin Herbert a 55 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of credit to man. He's out there playing 56 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: with a broken hand. He just had surgery, pins and 57 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: a plate inserted, and he was sacked seven times when 58 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: he ran the ball ten times, so technically he was 59 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: tackled at least seventeen times, not counting other times he 60 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: might have been hit within the pocket. So an incredible 61 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: amount of toughness that he displayed. And I was talking 62 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: to somebody else on the team and that was new 63 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: to the team and said like that was the biggest 64 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: surprise to him or what he did not know going 65 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: into it was how tough Justin Herbert was. He's like 66 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: from the side from other teams, you watch him and 67 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: you know the town how talented he was. But he said, 68 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: I did not know just how tough he was and 69 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: doesn't complain. You know, truly kind of a football player, 70 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: more so than even a quarterback. 71 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, DJ, when looking at Laura Retlis talk about the injury, 72 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: I think it's very similar to what I did in 73 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: my hand. I think it's a third meta car fool injury, 74 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 3: like a spiral fraction. So the thing that he had 75 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: on the pad is very similar to what I wore 76 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: in college when I did mine. Now I played in 77 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: like eleven days. For him to play in a week 78 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 3: is ridiculous because I can still remember the thriving and 79 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: have it, and I know they probably gave him a 80 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: little sum agent, a little something to take it off. 81 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: But DJ even in that, and you can see it's 82 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: in his non throwing hand. But when bodies are around, 83 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: you have to change your natural reactions when it comes 84 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: to putting your hand down, how you protect yourself. He's 85 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: even running the ball that the normal inclination is to 86 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: put two hands on it, but then that exposes that 87 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: the context. So just having to rewire your brain in 88 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: less than a week. Man credit to him because they 89 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: needed him and he showed up. 90 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: Like franchise quarterbacks. 91 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: I was supposed to shot for EA, your team. Yeah, 92 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: and look it wasn't perfect. He had a couple of fumbles, 93 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, had a couple of throws he'd like to 94 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: have back. But man, it was you know, it was 95 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: a gretty tough performance in a couple other things stood 96 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: out in that thing. Man, Man, it's such a luxury 97 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: when you got a kicker like Cameron dicker is I 98 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: think five five field goals last night and Buck he 99 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: doesn't even flirt with the uprights. Man, everything is true. 100 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: It is right down the middle of It didn't matter 101 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: it's fifty five yards or thirty five yards. When you're watching, 102 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I know how you do it when you're you know, 103 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: on the sidelines and where we are situated. We're kind 104 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: of in the corner of the end zone where our 105 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: booth is for those home games, so you can't it's 106 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: not like you have a great angle to see the kick. 107 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: So you have options when you're broadcasting the game. You 108 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: can either watch the monitor. You could watch the screen 109 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field the oculus, or. 110 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: What I do is I'll watch reaction. 111 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: So and I'm telling you, but it's like from the 112 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: swing from the legs swinging to the to the stick, 113 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: the hand eye to shake the holder's hand like it's 114 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: kick and then it's shaked. 115 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: They're like, oh, he's this thing's right down the middle man. 116 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: Look, man, there's a luxury to having a great kicker, 117 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 3: and there's also a luxury to having a bit of 118 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: an old school coach who takes the points where the 119 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: points are there at a time where everyone is going 120 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: for it on fourth. 121 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: Down and whatever. 122 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: Like Harba's willingness to take the points and just stack 123 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: the points to give yourself a chance to win. 124 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: I love that. 125 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 3: But look, when you have a kicker who is nails 126 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: and let's just say nails from fifty end, nails from fifty. 127 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 2: Five in, it changes the way that you call games. 128 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: You know, I just need to get to the sweet spot, 129 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: the thirty five yard line, and we have points available. 130 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: So for the Charges, it's a huge advantage and it's 131 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: one that paid off for them last night. 132 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get to one other Charger thing. 133 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: Then we'll flip over to the Eagles because we need 134 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: to hit on that thing. But man, it was nice 135 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: to see from the Chargers standpoint of Mario Hampton back 136 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: and he catches a touchdown, It runs the ball thirteen 137 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: times for fifty six yards, so they know he's gonna 138 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: be a little bit of. 139 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: A pitch count. 140 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: First game back Camani by dal it doesn't look like 141 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: much fourteen for forty four, only three point one yards 142 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: with a long of eight, but he ran hard and 143 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: they also popped a long catch, so he gets a 144 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: sixty yard catch early in this game. So that that combination, 145 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: I think is going to be a nice one to 146 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: two punch. You know, they think about this team. Buck, 147 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the landscape of the AFC and I'm like, man, 148 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: he can't say the what ifs, but holy cow, if 149 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: you had your two all pro level tackles and. 150 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost. 151 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: They've been out without their top two running backs for 152 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: the majority of the season, so you lose Najie Harris, 153 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, for the majority of the year, and a 154 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: Marion Hampton only played a couple of games. So it's 155 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: kind of the what if thing. But where they are 156 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: now and is it wide open? Is the AFC looks 157 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, they've got to They've got to figure out 158 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: some pass pro in terms of just schematics, not physical beats. 159 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: You're going to have physical beats. You can't have him 160 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: to Kobe Dean, you get m a clean run through. Now, 161 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: there was a times that Big Fangio special where he 162 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: was able to exploit a little bit of their pass protection. 163 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: So they've got a schematic adjustment that needs to be 164 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: made there. 165 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: You know, here's the thing about the AFC, and I 166 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: say this obviously being down in Jacksonville, it is as 167 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 3: wide open as it's ever been in terms of who 168 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: can go to the show. And it's a combination of 169 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: playing your best ball, but it's also being healthy at 170 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: the right time, being able to have all your guys 171 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: going into the tournament and the final part of it 172 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: in terms of who goes the matchups. Those first round 173 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: matchups are really going to matter in terms of who 174 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: you get lined up against, because there's some teams that 175 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: each team matches up better against the other teams that 176 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: are nemesis that you necessarily don't want to see in 177 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: their first round. To me, I can't say that they're 178 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: blaming weaknesses in any of the guys any of the 179 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: teams that we right now for casting a playoff field, 180 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: but some teams might have a potential to go to 181 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: a higher ceiling. But it's gonna be interesting because when 182 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: I look at the Chargers, I look at the Texans, 183 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 3: the Jags and everyone that's in there, very compel matchups. 184 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: But the one trade that remains true that we've talked about, 185 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: it's a quarterback driven league. You got to have a 186 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: quarterback to be able to get it done. Now it 187 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: looks like quarterback in defense and coach. But if you 188 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: got a quarterback, you got a good defense. 189 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: You got to heit coach. He knows how to run 190 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: the game. Man, you got a shot. 191 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's do the not so nice thing. Let's 192 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: flip it over to the other side. Now, first of all, 193 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, those corners, that defense, even without Jalen Carter, 194 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: that's real. That group is very, very talented. I know 195 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: the Bears ran all over him last week. Chargers that 196 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I know that was their game plan weren't able to 197 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: have that same success. But man, they fly around. I 198 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: mean they cover as well as anybody on the perimeter. 199 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: That is not an issue. They have a super Bowl 200 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: caliber defense, especially they get Jalen Carter back in the mix, 201 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: and Jalen Phillips has been a nice addition for them 202 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: now we got to go though and spend our time 203 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: on the other side because I want to get to 204 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: just your reaction on one play, because everybody's going to 205 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: talk about the foreigner steps to fumble like the two 206 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: hundred and two turnovers on the same play from Jayalen. 207 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: I've never seen that before. That was a that was 208 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: a first to me. There's opportunities that are there that 209 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: he's not seeing or attacking or taking advantage of. And 210 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: there's one play I want to get your thoughts on 211 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: because I'm watching it, and they end up taking Saquon Barket. 212 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: They removed from the backfield, they split them out wide 213 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: chargers have and I can't remember if it was Still 214 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: or Heart, but it had the starting corner on Davante 215 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: who at the time was in man on the line 216 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: right yep. So if Barkley goes out, they bump, so 217 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: corner goes out with say kuon coverage zone. Now you 218 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: get Elijah Moulden who walks down over Davante Smith. There's 219 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: nobody else there. So now I'm sitting, well, man, they 220 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: got the that's where you start, That's where your eyes 221 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: are going to go. Is I think it's a third 222 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: now it is a big play, but he never even 223 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: got He never even looked there, even go there. And 224 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, Davante Smith is good outrunner as you get, 225 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: and you've got that matchup sitting there waiting for you, 226 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: and it was never even in his eyesight, never even 227 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: went there. 228 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 229 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: The one thing that I worry about now with Jalen, 230 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: because I won't put it all on him, I'll say 231 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: it's one of the things that we always talk about. 232 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: There's a trust issue that is going on in Philadelphia, 233 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: and so it could be player the player, it could 234 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 3: be player to coach, it could be player regarding the scheme, 235 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: and the quarterback has to have the trust in all 236 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: of those parties to be able to play at his best. 237 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 3: Meaning when a play call comes in, I trust it's 238 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: a great play call. 239 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: I know it like the back of my hand, and 240 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna trust it. 241 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: I can just let the ball go to whoever's supposed 242 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: to go to and they're going to make the play. 243 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: Because of all of the noise, I just feel like 244 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 3: Jalen just has like a cloud, just a lot of 245 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: clutter in his brain and so he just doesn't see 246 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 3: it and it's just not playing the game the way 247 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 3: that we've seen him play. Now, there's a lot on him, 248 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: and he should be for a lot of it. But 249 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: I just think the job of the head coach and 250 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: everybody is to simplify everything to allow the most important 251 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 3: player to play the game the right way, and right 252 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: now I can't say that Philly is doing it. 253 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: I had a theory on another theory on this, by 254 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: the way, which I don't know is I haven't been 255 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: I haven't, you know, obviously been on the sideline with 256 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: this team, and I haven't paid attention to their mic 257 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: depth segments over the years or what have you. But 258 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: I know that offensive linemen that are usually the better 259 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman on your team, that are usually the vocal 260 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: leaders on your team. I've seen it on teams where 261 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: they can bully play callers buck and I'm sitting there 262 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: in that game with Saquon popping some runs and getting 263 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: the run game going, and even to the end of 264 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: the game where they're throwing the ball. Where I've been 265 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: on teams where I just wondered, with this team, if 266 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: you had Kelsey or if you had Lane Johnson playing 267 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: in this game, if they wouldn't have been able in 268 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: between series to bully the head coach and the play 269 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: call or be like, hey, we're running the ball, like 270 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: what are we doing? 271 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 2: Just run the ball? 272 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe maybe there is somebody that's 273 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: trying to do that, but I've seen it before. I 274 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: know you've been on teams before. You see offensive line 275 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: that can be like hey, enough, like we don't need that. 276 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: I know we're turning the ball. We don't even need 277 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: why we're throwing the ball, like, what are we doing? 278 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: Run the ball? 279 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: And so unfortunately this happens at every level. The squeaky 280 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 3: will gets to grease. Yeah, and sometimes when you have 281 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 3: people who have a lot of opinions and they're very 282 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: loud and you're trying to placate them, you move away 283 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: from what the team does. 284 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 2: Well. 285 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: If we're really honest with the Eagles and why the 286 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: Eagles have been a dominant team for two and a 287 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 3: half three years, it's because their ability to run the 288 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: football consistently says of everything else, and the quarterback run 289 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: game was a big part of that. The more they 290 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 3: move away from that, the more they come back to 291 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 3: the pack in terms of being just like everybody else. 292 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that it's over and that they 293 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: don't have enough time to fix it. But it's going 294 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: to take Nick Sirianni step it up and be like, hey, 295 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: this is what we're doing. Decide we got to get 296 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: it done, and I don't care whose feelings are hurt. 297 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: Hay Gavin put it in the chat. 298 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: Now. 299 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: I know the Chargers had a long drive to start 300 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: the third quarter, which ate up, you know, I think 301 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: eight or nine minutes, so they didn't have the ball 302 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: quite as much. But Saquon had five carries in the 303 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: second half. Buck, Like, that's insane. 304 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 3: It's insane, particularly when Saquan has popped one. We pops 305 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: one on a big play. The first time we really 306 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: get him going, we don't give him the ball. And 307 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 3: I understand as a play caller, sometimes the game can 308 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 3: get away from you should get like, oh, man, Saquon 309 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: hasn't had a carry in a lot, but like he's 310 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: the driving force of the offense and when he has 311 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: it going, it makes it easy for everybody else. I 312 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 3: know they've had players only meetings, I know they've had 313 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: team meetings in those things, but at. 314 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: Some point, man, they got to cast us out. 315 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 3: All the individual's agendas and get back to playing team 316 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: ball so they can be the team that many of 317 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: us expected them to be this year. 318 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: Let me make a quick baseball ology for you from 319 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: my podre fandom. This this what the end of this 320 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: game reminded me of was a few years back when 321 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: the Podreys were playing the Phillies and the NLCS or 322 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: a chance to go to the World Series. Bryce Harper 323 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: comes up the bat and late in the game, eighth, 324 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: eighth or ninth inning, crucial part of the game. They've 325 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: got Josh Hater, the best left handed reliever in baseball, 326 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: sitting in the bullpen, warmed up like he looks like 327 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: he's looking peering out towards the field. They leave the 328 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: other picture, and I think it was Robert Suarez and 329 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: Shoreber hits a home runs the game for him, and 330 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here going like you're you're You're all the 331 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: way down to like the twenty five or thirty yard line, 332 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: wherever you are. 333 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: You've got Sake. That's your closer. Your closer is the 334 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: guy that's going to the game. That's him. 335 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: And I just fixed I pictured Saquon was in the 336 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: bullpen last night going like why am I not closing 337 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: this game. 338 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: You guys are throwing the ball. We just lost because 339 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: we got our closer sitting here to waiting to come 340 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: in all warmed. 341 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: Up, and and it's a game where look, in this situation, 342 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: you can't like, it's really a no lose situation. Either 343 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: we right it or whatever we get to field goal 344 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: and we extended, or we've run it in four touchdown. Yeah, 345 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: but at no point should what that showed up to be. 346 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 3: Shouldn't that be on the asakar? It shouldn't be on 347 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: the thing. 348 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: And man, that's one. 349 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: Now they can get into the playoffs, they can win 350 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: a division because the Cowboys won't be able to close 351 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: unless they completely unravel. 352 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: But if the Eagles are going to make a run, 353 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: they have to have one. 354 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: Of these hard realities face the music moments where they say, hey, 355 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: let's figure out a way to get this done. 356 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: Well, they need to get their right tackle back. It 357 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: sounds like Lane Johnson with that foot injury is going 358 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: to be coming back. And man, I don't know that 359 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: I've ever seen a non quarterback with the win lost 360 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: splits that they have with Lane Johnson. I mean, it 361 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: is like six hundred and something percent when he's on 362 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: the field in three hundred and something percent when he's 363 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: not on the field, like it's insane. He's kind of 364 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: the lynchpin there that kind of makes the thing go. 365 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: And I also think that's where I go back to 366 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: my theory. 367 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: Is he the bully? 368 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: Is he the play calling bully for the offensive line? Like, hey, 369 00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: what are we doing? 370 00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Just run the ball? 371 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 3: Man might be man who is the elder statesman, who's 372 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 3: the guy that is the voice of reason on that, 373 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 3: like Gavin just putting the chat that fifteen and twenty 374 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: seven record when Lane Johnson is a little I. 375 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: Mean, that's just every one of the best teams in 376 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: the league. 377 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: And one of the things that we've always talked about 378 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles is how they've committed to the offensive line. 379 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: They're big on the trenches. But now we're seeing is 380 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 3: he the Jenga piece? Is he the piece of the 381 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: puzzles that you remove him, everything falls apart. If that's 382 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 3: the case, Man, they didn't need him back, and they 383 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: need him back in a hurry. 384 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 385 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I you start sizing up the rest of 386 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: the NFC and you're looking at it going like, okay, man, 387 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that they're in that top tier right now, 388 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: which sounds nuts. They just won the Super Bowl, and 389 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: I do look out there. I was talking to somebody 390 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: and their and their media side after the game was over, 391 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: and I said, man, like the thing about the Eagles 392 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: when you look out there and you see, first of all, 393 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: you're down there to warm ups, you see the size 394 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: and the physicality and what some of the body types are. 395 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: And these guys and you see Saquon Barkley, you see 396 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: AJ Brown, and see Devonte Smith, you see Dallas Goddard. 397 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, the heck, is this offense not better than this? 398 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: Man Like that does? That does not add up? 399 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, just because they're not playing to their superpowers. 400 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: It's almost as as if they just don't want to 401 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 3: lean into what they need to be. And I understand 402 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: this team has been well constructed where they don't have 403 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: from a personnel standpoint of glad weakness on offense. We've 404 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 3: talked about the line injuries in those things, but they 405 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: got two code number one receivers on the outside. 406 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: They got a big time tied end. 407 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: They got a huge look at all for running back 408 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 3: and a quarterback that can drive the bus and they 409 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 3: refuse to. Just Hey, let's run it first and get 410 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: to the weapons. Just because we have those guys out there, 411 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 3: it doesn't mean we have to run it through them. 412 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: Run it through sta Quon and they get to them. 413 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 3: Everyone can benefit if they play a certain. 414 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: Way one percent. All right, quick break, Let's get to 415 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: this Philip Rivers conversation the funnel right after this. All right, Buck, 416 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: I heard about this h morning, the morning this came 417 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: out in the afternoon. I heard about it in the 418 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: morning that this was this was likely to happen. I 419 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: think it's fantastic. I think it's such a it's such 420 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: a microcosm of how Philip Rivers plays football, and that 421 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers does not care. Hey, you could look. You 422 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: could end up embarrassing yourself. This could look bad. 423 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: He does. 424 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: He is ready fire aim like. That's how he's lived 425 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: his life like. He's he is all the way down 426 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: on the gas pedal. And he loves football as much 427 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: as any player I've ever been around. I've been around 428 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: the NFL since three I've been around a lot of 429 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: different players. I don't know that I've been around anybody 430 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: who loves football more than Philip Rivers and the fact 431 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: that at forty four years old, he wants try and 432 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: give it another spin. I think it's hilarious and I 433 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: think it's awesome, and I absolutely love it. 434 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 3: Well, one thing that we do know about great players, 435 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: All the great players we've ever been around, love it. 436 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: And his love for the game is undernied. But he 437 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: hadn't hung up to cleats and he was already coaching 438 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 3: high school ball, and so you know, the love is there. 439 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: And I'm a believer in why not man like until 440 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 3: the wheels fall off, because once you're done, there's nothing 441 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 3: else that gives you that same building like. 442 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: You can get it in different ways, but not that same. 443 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 3: Man in the arena, the gladiator in the coliseum feeling 444 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 3: that you get from playing. And if you're Philip Rivers, 445 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: you have an opportunity in a four game run to 446 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 3: save the day for the Indianapolis Coast and whatever capacity, 447 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: whether that's as a starter, back up, mental, whatever, that is, 448 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 3: why not your high school season is over, jump right in. 449 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: And just see what you can do. 450 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: Well. 451 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: The other thing is game plan wise, they had Daniel 452 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: Jones with a broken leg out there, right, so you 453 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,239 Speaker 1: were having to design an offense with a guy who 454 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: really couldn't move it all. He's on one leg, so 455 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: you just trying to incorporate the same game plan in there. 456 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the thing I would be doing 457 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: if I was, you know, if I was Shane Steichen 458 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: on that offense, running that offense is tight end. Let's 459 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: see how many different things can we install here? Tight 460 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: ends screen, slip screen, tunnel screen, bubble screen, like every 461 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: type of throw that can just get the ball out 462 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: of Philip Rivers's hand. And then the thing that's going 463 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: to be nice is you know who's going to like 464 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: having him there is Jonathan Taylor because he is going 465 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: to check if you have a head coach at the 466 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. He's going to find opportunities in the 467 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: run game. He's going to get you in the right calls, 468 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: in the right plays. There is zero learning curve. He 469 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: played in this offense. He already knows all the terminology. 470 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: He knows he's taught this offense, so he's going to 471 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: know where the you know where the holes and defenses are. 472 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: He's seen every blitz known to mankind, so he's going 473 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: to have all that stuff dialed in to me, it's 474 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: just a matter of can he get hit and get 475 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: up off the ground at forty four years old, you know, 476 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: haven't been five years removed here. Yeah, But one thing 477 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: that we do know about him, his playing style has 478 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: not changed since he ended the league. He's never been 479 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback. He has always had to get the 480 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: ball all out of his hands quickly. He has always 481 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: been great at winning the game at the line of scrimmage. 482 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: Watching the game on Sunday where Ridley. 483 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 3: Leonard in the game and Rodley Leonard actually did a 484 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 3: really good job for his first appearance. 485 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: He did a really good job. 486 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 3: His anticipation, his instincts, his athleticism all served him well. 487 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 3: But there's only so much that he could do because 488 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 3: he doesn't have an encyclopedia of knowledge in terms of 489 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 3: looks and things or whatever, where Philip Rivers has that. 490 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: Now physically he may not be able to do some 491 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: of those things. 492 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: But some of the junk looks that you would like 493 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: to throw at a young quarterback, those are off the table. 494 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor will benefit. And we've talked about the Indian 495 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 3: Outficis Coast under Chris Ballad and what they've attempted to do. 496 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: They wanted to get the best athletes, the most explosive athletes, 497 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 3: and teach him how to play ball. And there's him 498 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 3: be in a situation where they can impact it. Where 499 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 3: if we're just talking about get the ball in the 500 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 3: hands of your best playmakers, Philip Rivers can do that 501 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: and they can scheme up enough things to help those 502 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: guys on the PERI have a big impact on the game. 503 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's where the rub is. This is a team 504 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: coming off the loss to you know, your Jags last week. 505 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: They're in second place in the AFC South and Philip Rivers. 506 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: If this happens and he gets the nod, you are 507 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: at Seattle, San Francisco, Jacksonville at Houston. 508 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: Not that is a murderers row, buddy. 509 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: I mean, there's nothing like easing them into it. Just 510 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 3: we're just gonna drop you right into the deep end 511 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 3: and see if you can swim. But I think if 512 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 3: you're Indianapolis, I think there are eight. The number number 513 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 3: is ten. M they got to find a way to 514 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 3: get to ten. Philip Rivers coming over with that helped 515 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 3: them find a way to get closer to ten. You know, 516 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: I would say the division games are probably gonna be 517 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: their best outlook because you know those teams well, the 518 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 3: Jags and the Texans. Can Philip Rivers help you win 519 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: one or two of those games to help you solidify 520 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 3: yourself into the postseason. 521 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: Last thing, last thought on this one. 522 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: When we were kids, because we're similar age buck, there 523 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: was a show, remember called That's Incredible. There was a 524 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: there was a guy actually from the church that was 525 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: on the show because he was riding a motorcycle at 526 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: like eighty or one hundred miles an hour while playing 527 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: a guitar, like playing a full song. 528 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 2: So he made it. It was a big deal in 529 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 2: our church. He made it on That's Incredible the show. 530 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: If Philip Rivers takes this team to the playoffs against 531 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: that schedule as a grandfather h forty four years old 532 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: just celebrated his birthday off the high school field, it 533 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: leads them to the postseason. They need to revive that show, man, 534 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: because that would be absolutely incredible. 535 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 3: I mean, look, man, it'd be one of the greatest 536 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: feast that we've seen an older guy get off the cows, 537 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: five years removed from playing, takes the ball and it 538 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 3: goes well. Now, the Hollywood ending yeah, would be that 539 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: the young before it would be Yeah. He realizes, Yeah, 540 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: just wasn't a great idea. So well, here's the thing 541 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 3: about it. 542 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: Buck, there's no in between. 543 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: It is going to it's gonna be great, but it's 544 00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: gonna be read. Yeah. 545 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 3: It's like watching you talk about being a kid watching shows. 546 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 3: It's like looking at evil Codnievel. 547 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 2: It's all good, it's all good at when we're. 548 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: Going yeah, until it's not. Yeah, a lot of broken ribs. 549 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: If you missed that jump, All right, that's gonna do 550 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: it for us, and I hope you guys enjoyed it. 551 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: We'll see you next time.
