1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky and Rhett.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 3: Back with you boys. How are we doing?

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: I did not get the memo on the matching shirt.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Once again, I've come up a little short. I apologize

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: to you both, but Bucket's good to see you.

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 3: Man. How are you doing, Man, I'm good.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 4: I was just trying to be a lot. I saw

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 4: you guys jump over with your your blues. I was like, well,

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 4: I guess I need to be compliant.

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Like the Eagles just singing the blues today. Baby.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know what. Nice transition.

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Nice transition, right, because it is time for the Monday

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 2: night recap. Look, we can start at the end, right

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: you want to jump in here, I'll let you do it.

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: But this, you know, we'll get to the to the

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 2: first three quarters of.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: This ball game. But really the end of the game.

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Drew Locke, the Seattle Seahawks that drive ninety two.

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: Yards, I think that's where we got to start.

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, And I think a Buck had a

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 5: terrific tweet last night following you know it had been

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 5: around Drew Locke. I love to get your perspective on

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 5: the journey that he's had over the course of the

25
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 5: last few years. Obviously was a part of the Russell

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 5: Wilson trade that brought him to Seattle from Denver, where

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 5: he did have a stint as the guy in Denver.

28
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 5: Didn't quite work out for whatever reason. You know, the

29
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 5: Broncos weren't a great team over the course of those

30
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 5: few years there. But here's the thing that I keep

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 5: coming back to. I mean, the dude had tools, Like

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 5: we knew it all along, Like even you know, even

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 5: in the draft process, he knew this dude could throw

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 5: the heck out of the football. And it was a

35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 5: matter of you know, putting it all together, putting it

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 5: all together, figuring out, you know, how to find the

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 5: right play caller, the right playmakers. And man, you got

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 5: all of that here in Seattle. And I love that

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 5: he improved a little bit after getting that second opportunity

40
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: to start this week right.

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Didn't go as well as you would.

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 5: Have liked that first opportunity this year in Seattle, but

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 5: comes back and this week. Man, I just I love

44
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 5: these redemption stories. And for whatever reason, it feel like

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 5: Seattle is the home to all the NFL's reclamation projects

46
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 5: at quarterback right now, right, it was Geno Smith first

47
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: and now Drew Locke.

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: I love these stories.

49
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 5: It was a great interview by Lisa Salters kind of

50
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 5: digging into the emotions that Drew Lock was feeling. I

51
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 5: think we love those stories about the NFL. And yeah,

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: I mean like when given the opportunity, he took his

53
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 5: opportunity to grow right and then using that growth found

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 5: a way to execute using the tools that we've always

55
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 5: known he's had buck Yeah, not rid.

56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: I think it's a fascinating story, and I think the

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks might be onto something at the quarterback position

58
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: when it comes to their reclamation projects. First the success

59
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: they had with Geno Smith, then you look at the

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: growth that Drew Locke has experienced. That might be the

61
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: secret sauce with them going forward, because maybe you're able

62
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: to take talented quarterbacks on the cheap who didn't succeed

63
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: in their first environment, but you bring them in there

64
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: and you're able to kind of get a bargain player.

65
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 3: That has a lot of upside for Drew Lock.

66
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: For me, like, look, this is first know like having

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: met the kid when he was seventeen, he was a

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: two sport player, great basketball player in high school, so

69
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: he hadn't really fully gone.

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: All the way in at quarterback.

71
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: And to watch him continue to develop through the ups

72
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: and downs, and to talk to him in the preseason,

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: and he talked about his life being settled. He talked

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: about being newly married and having a kid on the way,

75
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: and he had just maturity about him. I think that

76
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: postgame interview allowed us to see all of the growth

77
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: that he's experienced. And when you kind of take care

78
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: of business off the field, naturally, the next progression is

79
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: to take care of business on the field, and I

80
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: think we're beginning to see that from juw Lock.

81
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I went back and looked through the notes.

82
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Guys, guy coming out of the draft, he was my

83
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: twenty fifth player. He was the forty second pick. Buck

84
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: mentioned that he was a big time hoop star, and

85
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: the first note that I have here is there are

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: big time throws. He can really drive the ball. You know,

87
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: the issues came where he forced the ball. He fell

88
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: off throws. Like mechanically, footwork wise, he was just a

89
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: little bit sloppy. So the grade that I gave him

90
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: and Buck you'll be familiar with this, I gave him

91
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: a six ' five D. The D stands for development,

92
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: and he needed time. Of guys that come in the

93
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: league some you know you're ready, he could start right away.

94
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: I thought he would benefit from a lot of time now.

95
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: He got into the lineup relatively early in his career

96
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: there in Denver. I remember one game against the Chargers

97
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: haven't been there late in the season where he led

98
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: a comeback and they end up winning the ball game late.

99
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: He's shown I think this is like his third time

100
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: that he's had, you know, a late drive to win

101
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: a ball game. So he's shown some poison, some clutch

102
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: to his game there. So good for him getting his opportunity.

103
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: We'll see what that means for his future. He at

104
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: least opened some eyeballs that he'll get an opportunity to

105
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: be a starter in this league again at some point

106
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: in time. But I do want to flip it over

107
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: to the eagle side of things, and Buck, I'll get

108
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: this to you. The last drive of the game, I

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: went back and watched it and I was watching all

110
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: twenty two and early on in that drive they got

111
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: some inside pressure. I think Fletcher Cox had a pressure

112
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter. I sure, I think Sweat was able to

113
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: get a little bit of pressure off the.

114
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: Edge on one of them.

115
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: But to me, this was about back foot throws, like

116
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: they aren't married up in terms of challenging receivers, and

117
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: you should not be able to uncover like they were

118
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: able to uncover in that situation. In other words, and

119
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: I think Collins were even said on the broadcast, DK

120
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: catches that slant on the run, he might score. It

121
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: might have been a seventy yard touchdown or wherever they

122
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: were on the field at that point in time, but

123
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: it was low. He went down and got it and

124
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: made a catch. And then to get one on ones

125
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: and have the ball go over your head twice, the

126
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: big one to DK Metcalf and then the touchdown to Bradbury.

127
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: You can speak to that as somebody who's played the

128
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: position situationally. How in the world you let somebody get

129
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: beyond you twice when they have ninety two yards to

130
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: march first score.

131
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: That didn't make any sense to me.

132
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say this because I think that last

133
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: rode kind of mask what I felt like was a

134
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 4: nice debut performance from Matt Patricia as the defensive play

135
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: call it. Matt Patricia comes over from New England. Was

136
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: just kind of like an analyst, just kind of helping.

137
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: They made the move Shonda Side. It's kind of booted

138
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: and cast in a new role. Matt Patricia takes over

139
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 4: as a play caller. So you saw more of the

140
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: New England Patriots stuff, more man demand. But what they

141
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: were doing they were playing man de man from off

142
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: as opposed to pressing and challenging. Now it makes sense,

143
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: Darius slays out James Bradbury becomes the new number one.

144
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: He's playing often. He is more of a zone corner

145
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 4: than a man corner. And what you saw on those

146
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: back to back big plays that he gave up one,

147
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: didn't backpedal, didn't challenge DK Metcalf, he runs by him.

148
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 4: He then is lined up on JSN, same situation Drew

149
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: Lock's tease and identifies the coverage is gonna be one

150
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: on one. He says, I'm throwing you the piel. I'm

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: gonna throw it up. Beverurd didn't backpudal. And so you

152
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 4: would think that a veteran who has been in this

153
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 4: league as long as he has would utilize some of

154
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 4: the basic fundamentals to put himself in a position to

155
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: win the down and he didn't.

156
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: Look it's poor execution.

157
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 4: But I can't fault Matt Patrician for the plan because

158
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 4: the plan allowed him to play much better defense than

159
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: we have seen of late.

160
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think if you just just look

161
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: at the numbers overall in this game, I mean, they

162
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: only give up two hundred ninety seven yards of total offense.

163
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Drew Locke really came alive, you know,

164
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: for sure on that last drive, but I mean only

165
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: threw the ball for two hundred and eight yards. They

166
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: kept Kenneth Walker under one hundred, although he did average

167
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: about four and a half a pop.

168
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Like, overall, pretty solid day for an NFL defense.

169
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: I think you just kind of come back to for me,

170
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 5: we expect more out of the Eagles offense. And I

171
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 5: know Jalen Hurts is, you know, battling the illness and battling,

172
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 5: you know, not practicing a bunch you know, this week

173
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: because of it.

174
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: But you know, when he wasn't running the football, it

175
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: just it just didn't look right.

176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 5: And credit to Julian Love, who had a terrific game

177
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: obviously had the terrific interception to end the game, but

178
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: then also had the one that stopped the potential scoring

179
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: opportunity that Jalen threw deep into the end zone, but

180
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: it was a little bit underthrown, allowed Love to go

181
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: up and make a play on it and stop scoring

182
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: opportunity there. I just I've come to expect a little

183
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 5: bit more, you know, out of this Philly defense, all right,

184
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: rather this Philly offense, you know, I mean, and if

185
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: your defense gives up, you know, twenty points. You got

186
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: to feel like this offense, with the talent that it

187
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 5: has dj is it should be capable of finding.

188
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: A way to win.

189
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.

190
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: And I think also one of the other takeaways is

191
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: if you're Shane Steichen and you're making your case for

192
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year with the job you're doing with

193
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts, maybe sneak some of these Philly games

194
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: without you into that resume taitan As you're trying to

195
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: push for that for that for that title, because he

196
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: is a phenomenal football coach, and I think you've seen it,

197
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: not only with what he's done in Indianapolis.

198
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 3: You see the void there that he left in Philadelphia.

199
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: This does not look like, you know the same offense

200
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: that we saw last year, which.

201
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: Is easily real, quick, go ahead.

202
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 4: I think I think one thing that is always concerning,

203
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: or is always a temptation when you pay the quarterback

204
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: the amount of money they pay. Sometimes you have a

205
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: tendency to want to validate why you paid him what

206
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: you paid him. And so this a different style of

207
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: office than what made the Eagles successful last year. In

208
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: early this year with Jalen Hurts, they were running the

209
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 4: football more. They were committed to being a grinded out

210
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: football team. And I think sometimes some of the chirping

211
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 4: from outside Aj Brown, maybe DeVante Smith asking for more

212
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: opportunities in the passing game, I think they've lost their way.

213
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: When the Eagles get back to running the football, they

214
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 4: can dominate teams. It's just that they are not in

215
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: love with trying to run the football. And so I

216
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 4: just wonder how many more losses will they take before

217
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 4: Nick Sirianti says, hey, guys, let's go back to running

218
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: the football because that's how we're built to play.

219
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I thought they did a decent job

220
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: of running it.

221
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: When you when you factor Jalen into the running game,

222
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: this particular game. I meant, you know, Swift got loose

223
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: a little bit. Game Boll was solid, but they couldn't.

224
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: They're not just they're not scoring points. I mean, that's

225
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: that's the thing, Like what you'd expect from this offense.

226
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: It's not happening. By the way, if you're listening to us,

227
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: this won't make any sense to you. But if you're

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: watching us, I just want to let you know Rhett

229
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: is in good health. It's maybe a little lack of

230
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 2: lighting that's why he looks green today, but he is healthy.

231
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: Is not a concern. You do not need to add

232
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: him to the prayer chain just yet.

233
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: Crazy looks green.

234
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 3: He looks green today. What is going on here? He

235
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: look Mayan?

236
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 4: He does look great on Mayan. I mean maybe it's

237
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: the TV, not the monitor that we have, but they

238
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: do look great.

239
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: Reht look great. All right, I'll move the topic here.

240
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: M VP odds it is brock Perty at the very

241
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: top of the list, followed by Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott,

242
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, and Christian McCaffrey. So if we're going to

243
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: pick an m v P, can I just I want

244
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: to give it to you. Reht with this t sure.

245
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: Do you ever remember a year when a quarterback was

246
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: talked about for the m v P and we, uh,

247
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: we were reserved in giving it to him because of

248
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: the talent around him. Like I'm trying to remember, Like

249
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: I don't remember when Patrick Mahomes was up for an

250
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: MVP S and I don't know he to throw to

251
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey, Like, let's I mean, I

252
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: don't know about that. We've never done that before. So

253
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: why is everybody twisting their contorting, trying to figure out

254
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: ways not to say brock Perty's the MVP.

255
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: Is what I'm getting at.

256
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Well, they haven't gone they haven't gone back and watched

257
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: the throws that party has made this year.

258
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: And look, for me, I think that Lamar Jackson is

259
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 5: is kind of neck and neck with what brought Perty

260
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 5: has done.

261
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: And I'll get to Lamar in a second.

262
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 5: But Purdy paints it everywhere, man, Like his twenty to

263
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 5: thirty yard down the field, layered throw over the middle.

264
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: It's like it's majestic.

265
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 5: It's like if you're ever in like a surf shop

266
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: and they've got those those videos on loop on those TVs.

267
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 5: It's like the surfer that hits that perfectly cresting wave

268
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: through the tunnel, like that's that ball looks like floating

269
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 5: over the second level right into the arms of a

270
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: of a forty nine ers receiver running in stride.

271
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: It's it's just a thing of beauty.

272
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 5: I mean, like he does that, and then like he'll

273
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 5: hit those quarter routes, those deep best. I mean, it's

274
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 5: it's just I don't know how you look at that,

275
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 5: how you watch those games, you see him getting pressured

276
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: taking hits and still delivering strikes on the money, you know,

277
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 5: to Kittle and Sam and I get it, it's a

278
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 5: they've got a terrific system, They've got terrific plays, but

279
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 5: it doesn't work if he's not making these money.

280
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: Throws that he's making here, and.

281
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 5: They're not easy layups, like these are high difficult, high

282
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 5: degree of difficulty throws, and he is just absolutely painted

283
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 5: right down the strike zone. It's so much fun to

284
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: sit and watch, especially like from the end zone copy.

285
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 5: It's just like to watch the trajectory of that ball

286
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 5: and just to I mean, it's it's beautiful. And then

287
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: I'll say the thing about Lamar Jackson though, that kind

288
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: of gives him, you know, some real credence here is

289
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: the pizaz like he's obviously got the electricity when he

290
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 5: can make some of those same throws, but do it

291
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 5: by you know, shedding a defender that's rushing, by dipping

292
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 5: under one spinning.

293
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: Out of a tackle. And I will I'll tell you this.

294
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: I'd love to get you know, Bucky and DJ.

295
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 5: I'd love to get your thoughts on this too with Lamar,

296
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: and then you guys can obviously come back to Purty too,

297
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 5: because I do think this is a two man race here.

298
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 5: He is hitting those corners, those deep sale routes, those outs,

299
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 5: those throws outside the numbers, I think more than we've

300
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 5: ever seen in his career, Like in some of those

301
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 5: deep throws down the sideline too, the stuff that's not

302
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 5: in the middle of the field where we saw it

303
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: so oftentimes early in his career, Buckie, I feel like

304
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 5: he's doing that even more than we've seen in a

305
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: years past.

306
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is a fascinating case study for

307
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: both quarterbacks. In the MVP discussion brought Pridy and Lamar

308
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 4: Jackson respectively, because I think the biggest thing surrounding both

309
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: of their candidacies is how we perceive them to be

310
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 4: coming into the draft. So many of us like that

311
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 4: kind of du what we do when we talk about

312
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 4: analyzing draft prospects and then the outside world where we

313
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: have this casual draft subculture where we talk about what

314
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: prospects are going to be at the next level. We

315
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: can get past what those grades were when those guys.

316
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: Were in college.

317
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: And so you talk about Lamar Jackson, who many didn't

318
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 4: think would be a franchise quarterback because stylistically he was

319
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: different than traditional quarterback and it's hard to kind of

320
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: like give him credit for being a little different than

321
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 4: we thought he would be at the next level. And

322
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: so because some of us are so married to our grades,

323
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: we kind of want him to come back to how

324
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: we viewed him prior to entering the league. And I

325
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: think a lot of it really falls on Brock Purty too,

326
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: because Brock Purity was taken in the seventh round, the

327
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: last big mister irrelevant. How can he be a franchise quarterback.

328
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: That's why we're hearing these outside conversations game manager versus

329
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: game changer, which I would say is a take on

330
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: our truck versus trailers. You can't figure out how to

331
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: properly categorize brock purity because yes, the stuff around him

332
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: is great, but he doesn't appear to be pulling it.

333
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: But then if that was the case when other quarterbacks

334
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: were running that offense, they would have had six running

335
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: like brocken not the case, right, So we need to

336
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: give him his due for being look a perfect fit

337
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: in that office. And people don't like to talk about

338
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: system quarterbacks or whatever, but the best players thrive in

339
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: the systems that they play in, and that is what

340
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: brod Purdy does. So he should be the MVP based

341
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: on how will he's performed and how that office looks

342
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: when he's under center.

343
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll the wrap up the topic here. I do

344
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: I think that brock Purty should be the MVP. I'm

345
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: glad you mentioned Lamar Jackson. Christian McCaffrey's going to get

346
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: a lot of love for the season that he's had.

347
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, you know, even having missed a game, is

348
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: still going to get a chance to run down two

349
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: thousand yards or to get close to it.

350
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: Good candidates.

351
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: To me, brock Purty's the winner and Lamar Jackson should

352
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: be the runner up because think about this one stat

353
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: here eighteen drop passes by Ravens receivers this year eighteen.

354
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: If you catch some of those balls, I know the

355
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh game specifically, that's at least one more win in

356
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: your column. Now we're talking about the Ravens as the

357
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: best team and not only their conference but in football,

358
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: and he's the quarterback of the best team. I think

359
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: that would have changed the narrative a little bit around that,

360
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: and you have even some more love for Lamar Jackson.

361
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: Nothing you can do about it.

362
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: When you put the ball right on guys, they don't

363
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: catch it.

364
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

365
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: But I think those are the two guys as we

366
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: come down the stretch here, and the great thing is

367
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: we get to see him play each other. So that'll

368
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: be fascinating to see what that looks like when they're

369
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: sharing the same field.

370
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: All right, let's take a quick break.

371
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: When we come back, we are going to jump into

372
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: the rookie draft. Do this each and every week. We'll

373
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: see where we're at. I think Bucky had a good week.

374
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: We'll get to that right after this. The Holiday Classic

375
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: is back on NFL Network this Christmas Eve. Watch a

376
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: special Sunday night of prime time football as the Patriots

377
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: and the Broncos light up the night. The NFL Holiday

378
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: Class at Christmas Eve live at eight pm Eastern only

379
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus.

380
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to this rookie draft. Let's see.

381
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: Let's see what happened last week. Buck has been on

382
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: a tear.

383
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: He picks up six points, so he gets two wins

384
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: the running back and the receiver position, with Jamiir Gibbs

385
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: and with Jordan Addison both having huge games, Arett solid

386
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: second place there in each category with Levis a Chan

387
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: and Nikua and then I just got three points off

388
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: Aidan O'Connell leading a sixty three point barrage against the

389
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: Chargers and nothing with Bijon and Ze Flowers there. So

390
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: Bucky has scored twenty three of the possible forty eight

391
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: points the last four weeks.

392
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 3: He is right back in it.

393
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: He's in second place, he's overtaken rhet he's nipping at

394
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: my heels. So we are. We're in the contest here, guys.

395
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: But before we get to this week's draft, I want

396
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 2: to get into this discussion about one of the guys

397
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: that gets picked every week. He's usually been one of

398
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: either the first or second pick and coming off his

399
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: worst game of the year and playing for I think

400
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: one of the more disappointing offenses in the NFL. That's

401
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: Bijon Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons. And before we get

402
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: into what we think is wrong with this group, let's

403
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: hear from head coach Arthur Smith on his thoughts.

404
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 6: Not where we want to be and we've lost some

405
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 6: close games, but it's not over, and we will die

406
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 6: trying to make sure we get this right and just

407
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 6: go win this game and unlet's see what happens.

408
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: Well, anytime death comes into play when you're talking about

409
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: the football, it's probably not a great thing.

410
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: Buck.

411
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: When you look at this team offensively, they just made

412
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: another quarterback switch. Looks like Heineke's going to start this week.

413
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: It's been kind of a balance around situation at that position.

414
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: Are you going to are we looking at this and

415
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: saying it's just simply they stink at quarterback or what

416
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: are the other issues with this offense? There's way too

417
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: many other good players for them to be this bad.

418
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way too many good players for them to

419
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: be this bad.

420
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 4: But DJ, it's hard when you have to work around

421
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 4: a quarterback who has limitations, if provision, from getting to

422
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: all the weapons that you have. And yeah, we can

423
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 4: throw bubble screens and give the ball to the running backs,

424
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 4: but your quarterback is the biggest driving forward in terms

425
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 4: of what you're able to do offensively. And because they

426
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: have it, they don't have a high level quarterback in

427
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 4: Desmond Ritter or Tyler Heineke at quarterback, they're not able

428
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 4: to really get to the back pages of the playbook.

429
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 4: And so until they fixed a quarterback position, we really

430
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: don't know what the potential of this offense could be.

431
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 4: And I know Arthur Smith has been a good play call.

432
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 4: It's a good play call in Tennessee. He's shoone flash

433
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: and being a good play call at Atlanta, But I

434
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: think the quarterback issue has prevented him from fully getting

435
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 4: into his bag as a play caller.

436
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I would like to think that too, right.

437
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 5: I mean, because you look at Bijon Robinson, Drake London,

438
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 5: Pyle Pitts fifteen total touches for less than seventy five

439
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 5: total yards. Tyler Aljier had more touches than Bijon London

440
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 5: in Pits. I'm buying now Tyler l Jee is a

441
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 5: good player, like he played well last year, and that's fine.

442
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: But I think so if we're not going to.

443
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: Use Bijeon that way, that why did you spend the

444
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 5: top ten pick on it?

445
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: I guess is part of the issue.

446
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: And when you go back and look at it, I mean,

447
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 5: be shot had a ten yard ripped a ten yard

448
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 5: run first carry of the gate, and you're like, all right,

449
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: off and running well. His next like four carries went

450
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 5: for a loss and then fumbled on either his last

451
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 5: carrier or second to last carry, and so you're just

452
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: like calie, man, it's hard to get that thing off

453
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 5: the ground. They're getting pushed back dj that offensive line,

454
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 5: which is almost entirely if I'm not mistaken, homegrown draft

455
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 5: picks from Atlanta. They can't get any push and so

456
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 5: I think it's it's hard sometimes to keep feeding that

457
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 5: to Bijeon when when you know he wants to break

458
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: one loose and you're having to exercise all that patience,

459
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 5: it's just not happening. I think it's a collective issue,

460
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: not just playmaker, not just quarterback. But I think you

461
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 5: got to look at the offensive line too.

462
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no room. I went back and watched all

463
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: those runs for the last two weeks, and there's I mean,

464
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there watching this going I don't know what

465
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: you want him to do. I mean, you can see

466
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: him getting frustrated, and sometimes I was looking for it,

467
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: you know, through the prism of okay, sometimes young backs,

468
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: even talented ones, are home run happy, right, So they're

469
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: not taking the three and fours. They're always hunting, Yeah,

470
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 2: they're they're hunting the forties and fifties. Yes, Saquon Barkley's

471
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: a good example of that. I didn't see that with

472
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: John Robbins. I saw, I saw guys get knocked back.

473
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: I saw just a lack of space and there's nothing

474
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: really their for him.

475
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: But you go back and look at the numbers.

476
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: Guys, last year one hundred and fifty nine yards almost

477
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty on the ground per game. This

478
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 2: year they're at one hundred and twenty six. Last year,

479
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: they aver was twenty one point five points per game.

480
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: This year they're at eighteen point four points per game.

481
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting when you look at it, and

482
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: you can put the majority of the blame to me

483
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: on the quarterback position. They've got to get better there.

484
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: That's priority number one. They've got to solve that position

485
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: going into next year. That's obvious, right, But they've also

486
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: got to put together, you know, personnel that matches kind

487
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: of what they're doing and be able to feature these

488
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: guys because they have real players and they've got to

489
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: have something that fits better. It just as disjointed when

490
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: you watch it doesn't really build off of each other.

491
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: You've got an offensive line that to me is more

492
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: of a finesse offensive line that you're trying to see

493
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: them knock guys off the ball, which they do not do.

494
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: They've got some issues there with the Atlanta Falcons and

495
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 2: Buck the other side of this, And I want to

496
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: get to this real quick before we get to the draft.

497
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: I know we got to keep going here. But when

498
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: we've talked about running backs in the past, and.

499
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: We've been doing it for a decade, we have said

500
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: we're not anti drafting a running back high in the draft,

501
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: but what we've said is, don't waste a running backs carries.

502
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: In other words, have a finished team and then be

503
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 2: able to drop the running back in so that all

504
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: of his carries matter. Christian McCaffrey great example, he goes

505
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: to the forty nine ers, they're a finished team. Drop

506
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: him in there. He might he's in the MVP list.

507
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: We just talked about him as a top five MVP candidate.

508
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: But it wouldn't make as much sense for Christian McCaffrey

509
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: and be on a bad football team.

510
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

511
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: Maybe they thought they were more complete than they were

512
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 2: when they took Bjon Robinson, but clearly right now you're

513
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: looking at a team that maybe should have gone in

514
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: another direction, even knowing that this was one of the

515
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: best players in the entire Yeah.

516
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, I think they obviously were full

517
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: by last year's success running the football. Remember, this team

518
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 4: ran the football on everybody. Tyler Years was a good player,

519
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: but Cordero Patterson was backing them up, and so you're thinking,

520
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm getting an upgrade over both of those running backs behind.

521
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 3: An offensive line. Last year they create push.

522
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 4: So something has changed this year in terms of the

523
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: personality and the effectiveness and the execution upfront that has

524
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 4: prevented them from being that physical team that Arthur Smith envisions.

525
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 4: The other part of it is John U. Smith and

526
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 4: Kalpis and Drake London and the players that they have

527
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: outside are terrific individual talents, but for whatever reason, the scheme,

528
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: the compliments in the passing game don't match what they're

529
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 4: doing and the running game and the quarterback is unable

530
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: to elevate either aspect.

531
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: And so we can talk about those parts.

532
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 4: But when you have a better player, maybe a more

533
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 4: dynamic player at the position that maybe has some run

534
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 4: pass capabilities, maybe just maybe the quarterback, a new quarterback

535
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: will unlock some of the potential that the rest of

536
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: the oppis has.

537
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm going back through and looking at some

538
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: of these previous drafts. Look, they take Drake London. The

539
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: quarterback in that draft was Kenny Pickett, and the way

540
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett's kind of been up and down, you can

541
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: look at that and say, Okay, well, I don't you know,

542
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: I don't fault them for that, you know, making that

543
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: decision and bypassing Kenny Pickett. You back to twenty twenty one,

544
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 2: they took Kyle Pitts, and then you know that was

545
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: the one where they got a lot of criticism because

546
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: you had Justin Fields there, who would have been, you know,

547
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: hometown guy, but Justin Field's in a position where his

548
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: team might be moving on from him as well, so

549
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: you know whether or not they had a chance to

550
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: try and get aggressive and try and make you know,

551
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson happen, or training for some veteran being bold

552
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: and aggressive and some other you know, some other area.

553
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: I don't know what opportunities really presented themselves there. We

554
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: may never know, but I know one thing. They can't

555
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: enter next year with the group to have at that

556
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: position right now. They've got to go out and find one.

557
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: So that's going to be their charge. All right, let's

558
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: get to the rookie draft here this week, Buck, you

559
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: are up first. You've been kicking, but you're closing the

560
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 2: gap here. You're up first, fall by Rhett and then

561
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 2: I'll bat in the three hole today, So go ahead, man,

562
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: you're up.

563
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, this is wanted more difficult decision to do

564
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 4: because you've got to have a little faith that the

565
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: guy that I'm picking, CJ. Stroud, is going to be

566
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 4: able to come back out of concussion protocol.

567
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna take him number one.

568
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 4: Quarterbacks, the most important position on the field, need to

569
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: get a dub with c J.

570
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: Stroud leading the way.

571
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 5: Okay, so going quarterback there. I don't know what Will

572
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 5: Levis's situation is. I guess Aidan O'Connell is probably the

573
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 5: safest bet there.

574
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: You got the although Green.

575
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 5: Bay Packers defense has definitely made some quarterbacks feel better

576
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 5: about themselves in recent weeks, so Bryce Young might be

577
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 5: an interesting choice as they get set to welcome the

578
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 5: Packers on Christmas Eve. But I'm going to go with

579
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 5: the sure thing here, and I'm going to take Jamiir Gibbs,

580
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 5: who's been an absolute stud at the running back spot

581
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 5: for the Lions taking on the Vikings in a big

582
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 5: time matchup right there.

583
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: So give me Jimier Gibbs.

584
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 3: All right?

585
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 6: Like that?

586
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: Wow?

587
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 7: All right?

588
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: Let's see here. Where am I gonna go next? All right?

589
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go because I want a little I want

590
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: a little viewing pleasure on Thursday, the Thursday night game.

591
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: And I've got the Rams and the Saints there. Give

592
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: me Pooka and Nakua with my first one.

593
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: Oh and then I will come back. Let's see here. Oh, oh, man,

594
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: I gotta.

595
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't like this for you. He's stealing your anxiety

596
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: right now.

597
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: I don't know, yeah, I don't.

598
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: Know that. I like my Aidan O'Connell pick at Kansas City.

599
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: Gotta say, I don't love that one, so I think I'm.

600
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 3: Gonna avoid that.

601
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 2: I'm uh, is it possible to do an entire section

602
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: on how disappointing the Atlanta Falcons offense has been and

603
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: then come right back and take Bjon Roberts away.

604
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah right, it is. I'm in Jon Brett.

605
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Okay, well.

606
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 5: Man, it's uh huh yeah, I think it's I think

607
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 5: it's time to take a doorback, like I think.

608
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: Uh, I think it's just no.

609
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: Way around it.

610
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 5: I don't know what else I could do here. I

611
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 5: think there's plenty more options as the pass catchers go. So, yeah,

612
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 5: young here, Bucky's not taking one week. You didn't have to,

613
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 5: he took shrug.

614
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can wait till your next pick because

615
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: I don't pick again.

616
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 3: I can't go to your team.

617
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Let's go back there taking Bryce Sean that's okay, well cool,

618
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: but go ahead, Buck, you get back to backers.

619
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: Oh I love this.

620
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 4: So now look, man, Jodan Maddison has treating me so well,

621
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 4: we got to take him again. We're gonna put him

622
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 4: in there, so we're gonna take him right off the board.
