9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,040

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm Outrett. I'm not competing against this guy anymore. Bucky

Speaker 1: mark in Buckey's column. I mean, how's it feel to

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,360

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,920

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: you know, saying Ontario's took care of app State and

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: yesterday to Jaguars played terrific against the Charitie. So hey,

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we need more moved to six classes because

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: it makes me feel good? One I think, I I

20

00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: can we how can the charge Heels compete with LEGSI

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: if I you basketball like, I would hate to even

25
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: take on that challenge. I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: put that on the line. Get your wins. Yeah, hey, question,

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: let's rolling, But I do want to. I want to

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: get ahead of the curve. Congratulations to Granada Hills Charter.

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm winning the C I have championship. I'm sure this

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: is Bucky's year. So just coaches, they're gonna go right

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: down to the finish line, so an early tip of

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: that happen. Congrats their buck. All right, let's jump in here,

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: let's get started. Three. I would like you better. I

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: would like you better if he did the Dodgers. I

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: would like you better if you already to congratulate on

36
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: the Dodgers winning. I think that's probably a more viable,

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: more valable deal. But we'll get to it. We'll get

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: to it later. That's a step too far. That's a

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: step too far. Alright, big three here, let's get it

40
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: cranked up here. The big three games. Let's start with

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Bills and Dolphins and highly anticipated game to high flying offenses.

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: Of course, they get together and they play a low

43
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: scoring game. Um and this has gotta be a big

44
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: confidence boost for the Dolphins, for their head coach, for

45
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: their quarterback, the defense, the way they played. Lots of

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: different ways you could go here, Buck, but what was

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway here from this one? I think the

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways man. Mike mc daniels must be the real

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: g when it comes to being a coach. Just think

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: about it. In three weeks he's beating Bill Belichick, John

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and Sean McDermott, three of the best coaches that

52
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: you can find in the National Football League. He has

53
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: already found a way to get in Miami up and going.

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: And when I look at the Miami Dolphins, man, they're

55
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: building a juggernaut down in Miami, a team that can

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: win with their offense or win with their defense. They're

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: really doing a great job of just muddying up games

58
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: in a variety of fashions. Yesterday, the offense wasn't rolling,

59
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: they weren't clicking. They couldn't light it up like we thought,

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: or we've grown accustomed to see him light it up,

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: so they leaned on the defense to make a handful

62
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: of plays, got some turnovers, were able to give the

63
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: ball back, and made just enough on offense to get

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: the dub. Look, a good team can win in a

65
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: variety of different ways. The Miami Dolphins are looking like

66
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: a very good team. Guys. The Miami Dolphins ran thirty

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: nine plays. The Bills ran ninety. I mean they out

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: gave the Bills out gained the Dolphins by like three

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: hundred total yards and lost the game. Uh, this was

70
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: an insane game. You know, for the amount of time

71
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills were on the field forty minutes of

72
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: time of possession, they really I mean they were moving

73
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: up and down the field, but it was just for

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: a couple of plays at the end of drives that

75
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: either forced the field goal attempt or they turn it

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: over on down. So you go back to their first

77
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: non scoring drive was the second quarter. They don't face

78
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: a third down until the seventh play. Pressure gets home

79
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: right when it needs to forces and incompletion eight seconds

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: left in the first half. By the way, this is

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: probably foreshadowing for the end of the game. For some reason,

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: they tried to fake spike, bad snap, so Josh Allen

83
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: loses about a second or two right there, gets it off.

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: The Stefon Diggs was almost picked off, but they avoid

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: that disaster only to run out of bounds with no

86
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: time left on the clock. So they kind of squander

87
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to try to kick a field goal there

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the half. First possession of the

89
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: second half starts at their own eight. They run to

90
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: twenty plays, go some ninety yards. They convert four third

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: downs here until the final third, third and eleven they

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: fail again. It was pressure gets home drive stalls at

93
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: the Miami of eleven. They gotta kick a field goal. Uh,

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: go back to their next dry six place sixty yards.

95
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: They miss a field goal. UH seventeen. Played drive at

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth quarter and they got five

97
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: plays inside the Miami six yard line and can't punch

98
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it into the touchdown. They had the butt punt that

99
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: saved them. Gave him another opportunity. But again, I think

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: that's where playing down in Miami is such an advantage

101
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, because these Bills players looked absolutely gassed.

102
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: One They've been on the field for eighty nine plays already,

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: but there was no urgency after Isaia Mackenzie. I couldn't

104
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: get out of bounds there to get back to the line.

105
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: They had eight seconds and they couldn't get back to

106
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the line and spike it. It was just kind of

107
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: guys walking around walking and he had to wait for

108
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: the official to spot it. But still it just there

109
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a big sense of urgency, and it felt like

110
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: the exhaustion of being on the field for so long

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: and being down in that Miami heat really got to Buffalo.

112
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: There's still a good team. They're gonna be in this

113
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: thing at the end. But I gotta give the hat

114
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: tip to the Dolphins, especially on defense, who got some

115
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: real playmakers back there DJ that helped him out. Yeah. Absolutely,

116
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: um And just kind of to wrap up the Bill

117
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: side of things, They're fine, They're gonna they're they're gonna

118
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: be there at the end. They are loaded team on

119
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: both sides. Didn't get this win. But I don't have

120
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: any concerns about the Buffalo Bills. This is all about

121
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. You mentioned their defense. They were out

122
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: there a bunch, but man, when you watch the tape,

123
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: you saw a nice mixture how they kind of switched

124
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: it up. You saw some of the cover zero stuff

125
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: that they made famous against the Baltimore Ravens last year.

126
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: They dusted off some of that in this game. Then

127
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: there's two high shell given him a lot of different

128
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: looks and the guy who jumps off the screen no

129
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: matter where he's aligned with Javon Holland that has turned

130
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: out to be a massive hit for their defense. He

131
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: was somebody coming into that draft, I know, Buck, we

132
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: had talked a lot about, you know, just all the

133
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: different things he can do, the versatility they're coming out

134
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: of Oregon. You can play him in the nickel, you

135
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: can pla him as a high safety, can be a

136
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: forced player. The instincts and the range, you know, kind

137
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: of jumped off the tape and he has. He has

138
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: even taken it to a whole another level there with

139
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. So he was impressive. And then look,

140
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: let's give to us some love here. I know it's

141
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: three games. I know we got a long ways to go,

142
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: but if you if you project the numbers going forward

143
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: based off the pace that he's on, listen to these

144
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: numbers here, Buck, I'll get it back to you on

145
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: this one two is on pace for fifty two passing yard.

146
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: It's forty five touchdowns and eleven picks. Um. I mean,

147
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: even if he's gets anywhere in the neighborhood of those numbers,

148
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about one of the best you know, kind

149
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: of bounce back seasons or coming out parties we've seen

150
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: from a quarterback and twite some time. Yeah. Look, it's

151
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: it's finally uh to the two and telling about Looyd

152
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: that we saw at Alabama because he has a coach

153
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: who actually believes in him and they surrounded him with playmakers.

154
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: He looks like the player that we saw at Alabama.

155
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever be the high end

156
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: all started some of us projected, but he's certainly capable

157
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: of playing winning football because we're seeing the Dolphins played

158
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: winning football under his leadership. Alright, next game here on

159
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: the Big Three, let's go Ravens Patriots entertaining game. A

160
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: costly game for the Patriots, not only losing the game,

161
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: but Mac Jones looks like a high ankle spring. He's

162
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna miss some time here, Rhett, I'll give you the

163
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: floor on this one biggest takeaway. Yeah, that's not the

164
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: only thing they lost. It lost the turnover battle in

165
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: a big way. Four turnovers on their last five drive,

166
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: so four their last five drives of the ball game

167
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: ended in a turnover, including the last three possessions of

168
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: the game. Go through some of those here. First interception

169
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: for Mac Jones, like it's just that's when he's just

170
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: gotta put into the stands and it's like a Max

171
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Protect kind of play action situation. He throws it uh

172
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: into the middle of the field to a guy that

173
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: essentially has four Ravens defenders all around him. There was

174
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker was the intended receiver. Started getting a little

175
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: pressure late from Claius Campbell who was working on John

176
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: new Smith. By the way, where's John Us Smith been

177
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: in the past game? Anyway? A second interception, it's a

178
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: red zone pick. Can't have it. It It looks like he's

179
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: just trying to throw it away but doesn't get it

180
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: far enough out of the end zone. Ends up just

181
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: getting picked off right there by Marlon Humphrey. That's one

182
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: you can't have right obviously down in the red zone.

183
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Could have kicked the field goal there and you get

184
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: the fumble here. I mean, this was just Nelson Aghaloor

185
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: is making a great play. He's running into UH into

186
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Ravens territories. It's an explosive play, but Kyle Hamilton, the

187
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: rookie safety, punches that ball out from behind. Ravens able

188
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: to to recover it with a terrific recovery by Marcus Peters.

189
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: And then that third interception games probably over there. He's

190
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: just trying to make a play, get some pressure, and

191
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: that's where he gets hurt too. So it's like the

192
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: double right, the injuried insults on that one. So those turnovers, obviously,

193
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: you can't win. Turning the ball over four times on

194
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: your last five possessions, now you can't win. You can't

195
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: win doing that. And on the flip side, when you're

196
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, you talk about being able to find a

197
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: way to win. If not for a quarter where they

198
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: fell apart in the fourth quarter in Week two, this

199
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: should be an undefeated football team. They have a quarterback

200
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: who's lights out in Lamar Jackson UH three touchdown passes

201
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: and at least a hundred rushing yards in each of

202
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: the three starts that we've seen. He's playing terrific. And

203
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: you know the thing is this office hasn't even gotten

204
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: clicking because the running game hasn't gotten off the ground

205
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: like we've seen this running game operating function. So if

206
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: you're the Baltimore Ravens, you're John Harvard, you feel great

207
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: about where you are. You're tune one, but man, you're

208
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: trending upward. This is a team that is going to

209
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: need to be dealt with at the end of the

210
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: year because they have all the makings of being a

211
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: team that can be a heavyweight contender in this league. Now,

212
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: watching Lamar Jackson, this game was a fun study. Guys.

213
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: You got the four touchdowns are all down in the

214
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: red zone. You saw a shovel, You saw a little

215
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: fade away um fitting the ball in tight spots. Even

216
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: when he's got pressure, he's feeling and he's able to

217
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: retreat a little bit. He looks incredibly comfortable down there.

218
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: It's kind of a little different than maybe what you

219
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: would expect. You'd expect, Okay, this is the Baltimore Ravens. There,

220
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: rushing attack, gonna be physical, They're gonna get down inside

221
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: the red zone, They're gonna pound, You're gonna run the

222
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: ball in actually throwing it really well. When they get

223
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: down there and then the explosive runs that Lamar Jackson

224
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: has been bringing to the table. Eleven carries for a

225
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: bucko seven in this game, big runs all coming on

226
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: zone reads, a lot of zone reads. You saw inside

227
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: zone read. The Patriots could never get comfortable with it.

228
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, see the motion coming, you see them all

229
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: running with that action just huge creases, huge lanes. To me,

230
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: when Lamar Jackson's running outside, you know, it's it's productive,

231
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: but man, when he can crease you up the middle,

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: that's where the excitement starts from me. And they did

233
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: a nice job of mixing those in outside and inside.

234
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Uh buck, that's that's an offense. It's still you know,

235
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: it's singular. There's one of them. There's only one team

236
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: that runs like they do when they're clicking and when

237
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: they're rolling and using Lamar Jackson like this. You don't

238
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: get ready for that in the course of a week.

239
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: You just don't know. It's hard to get ready for it.

240
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: And DJ, what you pointed out is really what the

241
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Raves had to get back to. Lamar Jackson has always

242
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: been at his best going downhill. I know sometimes you

243
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: get fascinated if you'd Raves getting them to the edges

244
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: because you want to protect him. But he was a

245
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: player at Louisville. It was power read, it was counter read,

246
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: it was those things. When he comes downhill, his speed

247
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: against linebackers and safeties is a problem, and we're seeing

248
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens do that while also really mixing in the

249
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: passing game, hard offense to stop. Yeah, I have a

250
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: bit more on Lamar Jackson when we get to our

251
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: Elite eight portion of the program, talking about trending storylines

252
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: around the league here through week three. But those h

253
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards even more impressive when you look at

254
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: one particular stat which I'll get to you here in

255
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: just a little bit, But Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews, man,

256
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: that connection is as good as there is in football.

257
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: Another two touchdown game for Andrews and he just he

258
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: went up and got it a couple of times. Lamar

259
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,599
Speaker 1: always looks formed down in the red zone. Five for

260
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: five touchdowns on five red zone possessions, and that's that

261
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: is winning football. Absolutely look forward to ute jumping on

262
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: that a little bit later on. Some interesting, uh interesting

263
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: storyline to follow as the year progresses here with Lamar Jackson,

264
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: no doubt, all right, let's get to the third one

265
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: of the big three here, Packers, Bucks. Uh, look, Red,

266
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: I'll get to you on this one. I mean, this

267
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: is maybe you're talking about the Hall of Famers, know

268
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, the goats on the pregame show,

269
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: and which, by the way, it's difficult to do. We

270
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: can't have two goats. Can't be the greatest of all

271
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: time times two. It doesn't work that way. Yeah. Uh,

272
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: this is a game. I don't know if you'd have

273
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: told me. And look, I'm as positive a pottery fan

274
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: as there is, but if you told me the Padres

275
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: we're going to outscore the Tampa Bay Bucks on Sunday,

276
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would have believed you. But

277
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: sure enough they did. Only twelve points for Tampa. They

278
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: lose to the Packers, and kind of a slug fest,

279
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: a defensive slug fest here, fourteen to twelve. Yeah, I mean,

280
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how many Pro Bowls there are combined

281
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: between Mike Evans, Chris Gopin, and Julio Jones, but it's

282
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: quite a bit. And so they're down all three of

283
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: those dudes for Tom Brady here, which is why I'm

284
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: not like super down on the Bucks at this point. Um,

285
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: outside of those first couple of possessions where the Packers

286
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: went down and scored very quickly, the Bucks defense was phenomenal.

287
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: The run defense absolutely stymied Aaron Jones and a J. Dillon. Uh,

288
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: and then they really kind of stepped up a couple

289
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: of key turnovers, force an interception. Um, But here's the thing,

290
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers, you know, well, those first couple of

291
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: possessions were great, got into the endzone. We have scored

292
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: again if not for Vita Vea Force and that fumble

293
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: on Aaron Jones, I just don't know, Like they're down

294
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 1: a couple of guys right with Christian Watson out, with

295
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins out. But what have those two shown us

296
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: this year to prove that they're gonna be adding much

297
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: more to this Packers passing game, which, by the way,

298
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: average just four point seven air yards per attempt in

299
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: this victory. That is the second fewest air yards per

300
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: attempt for Aaron Rodgers in the last six years since

301
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen, which tells me, yeah, you know

302
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: you've got a guy like Romeo Dobs. So again we'll

303
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: touch on a bit later in our rookie standout performances,

304
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: who was good with the ball in his hands, got

305
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: it to him quickly, he made some plays. But they

306
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: don't have a downfield threat, Like they don't have somebody

307
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: that scares you down there, And it makes me wonder,

308
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: like how sustainable that kind of offensive attack is going

309
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: to be for green Bay moving forward, Whereas for Tampa,

310
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: like they're gonna get Mike Evans back next week, Chris

311
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Godwin is gonna be back soon. I don't know if

312
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is gonna be somebody that can count on consistently.

313
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: But you still have Shot Perryman, Scotty Miller, uh and

314
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: some of those guys to kind of pick up that

315
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: slack as a third receiver. Russell Gauge too kind of

316
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: touchdown in this game late. So like, I feel better

317
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: about the bucks chances to figure things out and to

318
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: be more productive offensively moving forward than I do the

319
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Packers right now. Am I wrong for that? Now? I mean,

320
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're wrong for that. I think

321
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: everyone who likes the Packers has to get used to

322
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: seeing the Packers operate a different way. I think the

323
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Packers path to winning going forward is going to be

324
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: about their defense, the way the defense plays, and the

325
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: way the offense can compliment the defense. So it might

326
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: mean that we will see some more these slug fest

327
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: type games where they may not get to twenty points

328
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: because they're having to run the football, they're having throw

329
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: the ball short, and they're having to play the kicking

330
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: game where they're playing field position back and forth until

331
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets a favorable spot on the field and

332
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: is able to take a shot to score. But right now,

333
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: the way their defense is playing, it gives them a chance.

334
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: I just believe that as we're looking at the Packers,

335
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: we have to kind of forget about the ten to

336
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: twelve years that Aaron Rodgers was able just throw it

337
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: all over the yard, and we might see a more

338
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: ball control, run centric offense from the Packers that asked

339
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to do less because he doesn't have the

340
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: fire prower that he normally has. Yeah, I just think, look,

341
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: the goal is to get to get the car to school,

342
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: and so in the past you've seen the Packers pull

343
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: up to school and their Lamborghini and and the whole

344
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: man look at this shiny car. Wow, they got to

345
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: just get to school. I don't care if you get

346
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: there in a pickup truck or Lamborghini. They're finding ways

347
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: to win games that don't need to get style points.

348
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: And once they get into the playoffs, we've seen they've

349
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: found theirselves in some of these muddy, shall I say,

350
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: snowy games where you've got to kind of win this way.

351
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: And I think the more you rack these up, the

352
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: more confidence you get. I mean, I'm not gonna lie.

353
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: It's not pretty. There's not a lot of style points there,

354
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: but when you do look at what the upside is

355
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: for this team, I still think there's some young players,

356
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: some young receivers that you're gonna see and and and

357
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: Dubbed is one of those. You're gonna see them just

358
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: get better as as the year goes along. Here. So,

359
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: by the way, do we know Rhett Dobbs are Dubs

360
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: on that one. I've heard it, but we would Dobbs.

361
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: We're going Dobbs. I think we went to Lubs all

362
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: all all pre pre draft season, but I think we're

363
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: going Dobbs. Now, Okay, alright, cool, I'm gonna stick with

364
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: that firm that works. Um all right, there you go.

365
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: That's the that's the Big Three. There are three big games.

366
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: We've got a lot more games are gonna get to

Speaker 1: the way I can't wait for it. Wow, Wow, hurtful, hurtful.

385
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'm leaving this off here I'm into this.

386
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ah, this is not good. All right, let's

387
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: go here. First storyline, I'm gonna go Joe Burrow bounces back.

388
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: This was a Cincinnati Bengals team I won't use the

389
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: word desperate, but darn close to it against the Jets.

390
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: They had to win this football game. I thought Burrow

391
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: did a nice job of two things. The pressure. I

392
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: thought there was still pressure with this offensive line. He

393
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: did a good job navigating around it. Some of his

394
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: pocket movement and field I thought was improved. I think

395
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: you can attribute that to just him playing after not

396
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: participating much in training camp for the preseason. I think

397
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: he's looking more comfortable there. And then the grit and

398
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: the toughness to hang in their eyes downfield and deliver

399
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: shots while taking shots, including this one right here where

400
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: they sent seven at him. Uh, they hit him, he

401
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: hangs in for a long touchdown. All three of his

402
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: TVs in this game came on third hounds. Uh. Just

403
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: a more of a Joe Burrow version that we've seen

404
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: in the past. Buck, this looked right here for the Bengals. Yeah,

405
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: absolutely right. And you knew Joe Burrow was gonna bounce back.

406
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: He talked about everyone just needed to chill, relaxed. They'll

407
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: get back on track. And so it's a great win

408
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: for since Santi Bengals put them right back in the

409
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: race in the n f C North, I'm gonna go

410
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: out to l A and I'm gonna talking about the

411
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars using the charges as a measuring stick, measuring up

412
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: because they were facing a really good team, and so

413
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: the Jaguars needed to see where they stack in the

414
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: packing order of the a f C. And they wanted

415
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: to use the charges as a ramrror to let them

416
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: see a reflection of themselves. And so you go out

417
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: to the West Coast, you make the trip, you stack up.

418
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: Even though Justin Herbert is hurt and it impacted the

419
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: way that he played for the Jaguars, this is what

420
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to see. Could they go out and take

421
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: care of businesses against a really good team, Could they

422
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: get pressure against the team that has one of the

423
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the game, and then offensively, could they finish.

424
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: When you're Doug Peterson the staff and you're looking at

425
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: the tape check check, they checked off a lot of

426
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: boxes and things are trending upward. Down in Duvall, yeah. Look,

427
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: this is a Chargers team that not only losing this

428
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: football game, but man, you talked about injuries. They came

429
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: into the game minus three Pro Bowlers. Corey Lensley didn't play.

430
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson didn't play, Keenan Allen didn't play. Before halftime.

431
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: Boss is out with a growing injury. Don't know how

432
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: long he's going to be sideline. And then the news

433
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: just came down that ray Shon Slater. I mean, look,

434
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: Ras Shawn Slayer is good at tackle as there is

435
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: in football, and he has a ruptured bicep. He's going

436
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: to miss the rest of the season. So you're in

437
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: a game without five Pro Bowl players. There was no

438
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: energy in the team in the stadium. And the Jacksonville Jaguars,

439
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: if this was a measuring stick, they beat the Chargers

440
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: over the head with that measuring stick in this one

441
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: because they roughed him up on the line of scrimmage.

442
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: And you know, again, the injuries could end up being

443
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: more costly than the outcome here of the score. Rhet

444
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: keep us scooting here. Oh wait, do we have a picture,

445
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: by the way, do we have a picture of Buck

446
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: myself and money here? There? It is the three best guys. Yep. Uh,

447
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: great to see Buck and and Tony Boselli visit with

448
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: the Jags. Uh, Jags Chargers. Look, we're all friends. We

449
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: get along very very a very nice evening or afternoon,

450
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: I should say there. It's so fun alright, right, keep

451
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: a scoop. It's a nice style on Buck that must

452
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: have been taken after the game. Clearly you do something.

453
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: You got that, right. I keep us moving to the

454
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: other team that occupies so by stadium talking about the

455
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Rams and guys. This is something we've talked about on

456
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: this podcast. I hear I moved the sticks quite often.

457
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: And that's the fact that the Rams have done a

458
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: phenomenal job as good as anybody really in football in

459
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: hitting on picks in rounds two through seven, right, particularly

460
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: even even more so when you look at rounds like

461
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: three through seven and you get into the early parts

462
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: of Day three of the draft and they're hitting on guys.

463
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at their starting line up

464
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: because they've been down, They've had a couple of injuries

465
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: as well to some key players, and they have one

466
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: of their own first round draft picks and they're starting

467
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: twenty two on both sides. Of the ball and obviously

468
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald who got his one hundredth career sack on Sunday.

469
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Hat tip to Aaron Donald. But this is just continues

470
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: to be so much more impressive to me. Um. I

471
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: look at you know, homegrown guys like Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson,

472
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: uh Coup Note Boom, Greg Gaines, David Edwards. The list

473
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: goes on, and they're all big time contributors for this team.

474
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: But they were down a couple of corners who were

475
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, mid the later round picks. Talking about a

476
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: guy like David Long three years ago, his third round

477
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: pick was out in this game, and to Kobe Durant

478
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: who's been fantastic as a rookie this year out of

479
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: South Carolina State, fourth round pick was out in this game.

480
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: So you know they had to turn to well another

481
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: late round pick, and that was Darien Kendrick who stepped

482
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: in and played pretty well for them, but left early

483
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: with an injury. I really want to focus on Ben Scronic,

484
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: who McVeigh after the game calls a maniac, which kind

485
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: of appreciate that kind of description for a wide receiver.

486
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: Right seventh round pick a year ago, leads the team

487
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: and receiving right with four catches sixty four yards and

488
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: then also lines up as a fullback and leads cam

489
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: akers and what looked like sort of power play like

490
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: right through the hole, lays the key block on Twitter

491
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: and fifty pound linebackers Zavin Collins and Acres cuts right

492
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: off his button, gets into the end zone for what

493
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: would be, you know, one of the decisive scores of

494
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: the game. Late, I just I mean credit to Sean McVeigh,

495
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: credit to Lesson in the whole group there. They just

496
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: continue to hit on those, uh those kind of those

497
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: picks beyond the first round, and that's kind of how

498
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: they built the depth of this team. Yeah, I know,

499
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: hat tip there to less I will say this game

500
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: was indicative of a lot of games we saw this week.

501
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: Twenty points being enough to get you in to the

502
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: winner circle, a lot of low scoring games for this

503
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: being a passing league and a high flying league. You

504
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: saw some weird scores eleven to ten. You saw games

505
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: like this twenty to twelve, uh, fourteen to twelve, and

506
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a weird weekend. Uh in that regard.

507
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: Let's get to Atlanta Falcons A Kyle Pitts party. We've

508
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: been asking for it. I think all the Atlanta Falcon

509
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: fans have been asking for it as well. It's your

510
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: best player, and I understand, Look, you gotta try and

511
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: do your best to win football games. I think he helps.

512
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Pitts helps you get that accomplished. And

513
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: they used it meant a wide variety of ways. Arthur

514
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: Smith putting him in the backfield, Arthur Smith using him

515
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: on screens, Arthur Smith getting him on back shoulder throws

516
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: down the field. He's a matchup nightmare. He's an absolute

517
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: nightmare down the field. It was exciting to see the

518
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: ball go in his direction and not surprised to see

519
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: that coincided with the Atlanta Falcons having a little success

520
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: as they go on the road and beat the Seattle Seahawks.

521
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Buck Yeah, big way for the Atlanta Falcons. Great performance

522
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: by cal Pits. You talk about him being the number

523
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: one option on this office. You saw the show up

524
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: and they also got some contributions from Cadaro Patterson and

525
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: running back. We'll talk about him later because he certainly

526
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: had a standout performance. I'm gonna go and talk about

527
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos all week Nathaniel Hackett was rid of

528
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: fueled by his coaching ability, his prowess. Is he capable

529
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: of being able to manage the team and called plays,

530
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: And so you're talking about all of these different things

531
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: that are swirling around the team, and then you have

532
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: a tough game against the Sameancisco forty Niners. Well, the

533
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: Broncos found a way to get it done. It wasn't pretty,

534
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: it's not something that you're gonna write home about. Is

535
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: not a classic that we will see played later on

536
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: NFL network. Is one of the best games that we've

537
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: ever seen. But a win is a win, and in

538
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: the league where it's hard to win games, the Broncos

539
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: found a way to get it done. I also think

540
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: they might have found a little bit of their identity

541
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: defense defense. Defense were able to get after Jimmy Garoffalo upfront,

542
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: created some chaosk for some turnovers, made enough plays, and

543
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: then Russell Wilson found a way to get it done.

544
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: For the Broncos, this is their recipe to success. They

545
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: might not like it because they want Russell to cook,

546
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: but this might be the way that they have to

547
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: play and to a Russell the company give them an

548
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to play another way. And guys, I mean like

549
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to uh what I got coming up

550
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: here on Lamar in a second. But um, two things

551
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,239
Speaker 1: on this game. Uh, the Broncos should feel prett good.

552
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hank should feel pretty good abou himself being two

553
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: and one as they've had to work themselves through some

554
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: growing paints there with a first time head coach, Like

555
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: that's a good place to kind of feel like, you know,

556
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: you know you haven't given your best as the head

557
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: coach in terms of game management situations, but you're still

558
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: two in one moving in a week four the season

559
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: and feel pretty good about that. And then how do

560
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: we get the ghosts of Mark Sanchez and dan Orlovski

561
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: to come back and haunt this week all in the

562
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: same Sunday? Like, what are the odds of that? We

563
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: get the butt punt and Garoppolo running out of the

564
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. It's like the was it

565
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: a full moon or something out there? I don't know. Um,

566
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: all right, I'll move it on to some some more

567
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: interesting and more Uh let's just say high flying play offensively.

568
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: Then we saw in that forty nine ers and Broncos game.

569
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Talking about Lamar Jackson here we talked about the five

570
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: red zone possessions and the five touchdowns his four touchdown passes.

571
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: Three of those four came against the Blitz when he

572
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: was getting pressured. That was an area where he did

573
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: not perform well a year ago. In fact, uh, looking

574
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: back to last season, he had just four touchdowns and

575
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: five interceptions when he was getting blitzed in pressured in

576
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty one. This is actually the second straight

577
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: game now this season where he's thrown three touchdowns when

578
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: teams sent an extra defender against him in a passing situation.

579
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: So he's now six touchdowns zero picks against the Blitz

580
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: of this season. I think that's a big indicator of

581
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: progress and success. So it really feels like the Lamar

582
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: price for that contract continues to rise with each week,

583
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: and I say good for him. And by the way,

584
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: on those explosive runs DJ you were talking about on

585
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: some of those zone reads over a hundred yards and

586
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: if you're into the run, running rushing yards over expected category,

587
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: Lamar is unbelievable, like plus sixty five, right, So like

588
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: when you think about that, a normal player would have

589
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: had let's say sixty five yards less rushing than Lamar did.

590
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: But because of his im men's talent, his ability to

591
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: make guys miss, and as you said, kind of working

592
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 1: in between that tackle box where he is really special

593
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: straight ahead. Uh, he was able to make guys miss

594
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: and achieve an additional sixty five yards. So again, through

595
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: the through the air, on the ground, Lamar getting it done. Yeah,

596
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: and Buck when you watch him run between the tackles,

597
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: most quarter acts take shots. It's like if you've seen

598
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: if you've seen a bob sled race, Like, that's what

599
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Lamar does. He sprints and then he just hops in

600
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: the bob sled and just falls back like this, and

601
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't take it doesn't take any shots. It's it's

602
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: literally the bob sled technique. I think that Lamar owns

603
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: that technique for not taking any punishment. Yeah, he does

604
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: own that. Take me. One guy who also owns that

605
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: technique is Matt Ryan. Because as Matt Ryan gets older,

606
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: he also doesn't want to take shots in the pocket.

607
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: And after hearing everyone saying Matt Ryan is a little old,

608
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't look the same. Maybe the Colts regret bringing

609
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: him in the inn and Napolis bounce back in a

610
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: major way against the Kanna City Chiefs. This is a

611
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: team to show great grit, toughness, resolve, all those words

612
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: uh that you wanna use to describe a team that

613
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: gets up off the mat. That's what we saw from

614
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: the Colts. Wasn't pretty, but they found a way to

615
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: get it done. They stay in the race and right

616
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: now sitting that one one and one, look, things look

617
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: bright for them. But this is a win, an unexpected

618
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: win that they were able to pull off. If you're

619
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: in those halls in the Colds facility, you feel great

620
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: about your chances of getting back on track because you

621
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: were able to show some toughness, and toughness is always

622
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: required if you can be a playoff team. Yeah, I'd

623
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: see trending storyline when it comes to the Colts would

624
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: be resiliency. And we've seen it because this this could

625
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: have gone the wrong way and then we'd be looking,

626
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, staring on the barrel of oh and three,

627
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: you know, where did the Colts go from there? By

628
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: the way, he had tip to the rookie tight end

629
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: out of UV a guy buck that we saw in

630
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Vegas at the Shrine Bowl and really lying Gelanni Woods

631
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: with a pair of touchdown catches, including the game winner

632
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: at the end, a huge target from Matt Ryan. I

633
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: love to see him more involved in the past game

634
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: as they move forward. All right, I'm gonna keep this

635
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: rolling here. I felt like the Titans and the Raiders

636
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: battle of too oh and two teams to playoff teams

637
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: from a year ago. Both teams had to have this game.

638
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: And for the Titans, all they did was get back

639
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: to basics in this thing to in order to get

640
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: that victory. They had three straight touchdown drives to open

641
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: the game. Like that is some serious efficiency. And Derrick

642
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: Henry at all sixty four of his first half rushing

643
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: yards on those three touchdown drives, right, and he had

644
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: explosive plays on all three of those touchdown drives, both

645
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: in the run game and in the past game where

646
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: he had some big plays catching the ball to the

647
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: backfield too. And and then what you saw was Ryan

648
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: Tannehill utilizing the play action much more than they had

649
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks of the season. Fifty of

650
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: his dropbacks for play action throws, and he was much

651
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: more effective in this game than he'd been in the

652
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: first two That's the formula for Tennessee, played good defense,

653
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: run the ball with Derrick Henry, and then take advantage

654
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: of play action down the field. And it's like, all right,

655
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: well they go to the Titans again, because I think

656
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: that's a formula they could beat almost anybody with. Yeah.

657
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: And on the other side, the Raiders, the only oh

658
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: and three team in the NFL and all three of

659
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: their losses those teams, that's their only win was against

660
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders. So not a great start for Josh McDaniels.

661
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: UH there in Vegas after a very pricey offseason with

662
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: their approach in terms of Davante Adams and Chandler Jones.

663
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: So far, haven't seen the early returns there. All right,

664
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna be right back after this. We're gonna check

665
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: out some stay end out rookies and our favorite performances

666
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: of week three. Well, we're always keeping an eye on

667
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: the rookies each and every week. Here, I'll move the

668
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: sticks and we like to point out the guys that

669
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: really jumped off the screen or in this case, off

670
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: the field being there in person. Bucky and I were

671
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: there at the UH at the Chargers Jags game, and man,

672
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: a lot of impressive rookies for those Jags. But to me,

673
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd, the linebacker out of Utah seven tackles, three

674
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: p b U s how to pick. He was all

675
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: over the field and really I feel like, you know, Buck,

676
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: I'll go to you on this one. But when we

677
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: were going through the draft process, never would have imagined

678
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: he would fall as far as he did in the draft.

679
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: And somebody that we compared to Fred Warner, uh and

680
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: to Shack Leonard like this is this is who he is.

681
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: It's exactly what he looks like in terms of that

682
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: size and range and versatility. Just an outstanding young player. Yeah,

683
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: fantastic player. He's a guy who's all over the field.

684
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: He's still trying to find his way when it comes

685
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: to playing the game. I'm giving another player another a

686
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: big time player that we talked about points score. How

687
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: about Chris Olive for the New Orleans Saints had a

688
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: big game being able to be a vertical stretch player.

689
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: This is someone that we thought would benefit from playing

690
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: with Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry because those guys would

691
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: command all the attention. It would free him up to

692
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: do what he does well, big plays and touchdowns and

693
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: what we're seeing down in New Orleans. He delivers big

694
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: plays and he's going to deliver touchdowns. And so if

695
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: you're Jamis Winston and you'd like to push the ball

696
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: down the field, this is the one speed merchant that

697
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: is within that that in the lineup. You want to

698
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: make sure you give this guy plenty of opportunities to

699
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: make it happen. He's proven that he can be a

700
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: big play option in the Saints offense, which is great, Bucky. Uh.

701
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: The only problem with that was he was the only

702
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: one making plays for the Saints on offense in this game.

703
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas ended up getting banged up, as did Jarvis Landry.

704
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara has not been the same uh this year.

705
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: I know he was a little bit banged up last

706
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: week too. So they got a lot of work to

707
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: do there in New Orleans. You're gonna stick with Jamis Winston,

708
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: who's been really hampered by injuries himself and playing through

709
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: some pain. But they gotta figure something out on offense, uh,

710
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: and if they want to keep pacing that division there

711
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: in the NFC South. All Right, I'm gonna move on

712
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: to another rookie, UH. Talking about Romeo Dobbs. Guy we

713
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit in the open in the

714
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Big Three with the Bucks uh in the in the

715
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Packers game down to Tampa, Packers get the win, and

716
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: Dobbs is a huge piece of it. As a touchdown.

717
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: Early he was targeted eight times by Aaron Rodgers, caught

718
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: the ball eight times, and they got him the ball

719
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: quickly on some of those uh kind of quick hitters

720
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: he's coming across the formation, Aaron Rodgers lets him clear

721
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: the flat defender, get him the ball, let him turn

722
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: up Fiel get an easy ten twelve yards. I was

723
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: most impressed with what he did in his routes down

724
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: the field, a couple of inbreaking routes early and then

725
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: one late where he kind of shrugged off some contact

726
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: and was able to kind of make one of those

727
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: savvy veteran moves and create a little separation for himself.

728
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: But bottom line is he's where Aaron Rodgers needs him

729
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: to be, and that's something we couldn't say maybe early

730
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: on in this season where he kind of drew the

731
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: eyre of Rogers early on. So I ever seeing some

732
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: good progress from Romeo Dobbs and a guy that's had

733
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: to step up with Christian Watson, out with Sammy Watkins,

734
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: out with Alan Lazard, you know, maybe not yet fully

735
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: comfortable as wide receiver one. Dobbs has been picking up

736
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: the slide. Deserves a lot of credit for performing well

737
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: with a veteran quarterback. Um, you know, I just that's

738
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: such a tough situation for rookie receiver and he he

739
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: obviously was a big piece of that victory for the

740
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: Packers against the Bucks on Sunday. And I'm gonna see

741
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: that chemistry grow too as the season progresses. One thing

742
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: we always we all agree on. I think you probably

743
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: would to as you're listening or watching right now. You

744
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: can't get enough football. And this is the fun time

745
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: a year because we get the London games coming up.

746
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: So we've got nine thirty am Eastern on Sunday Vikings

747
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: and Saints live on NFL Network from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Again,

748
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: that's Sunday morning, nine thirty eastern on the West Coast.

749
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better. Six thirty am football, You

750
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: kidd me, it's the absolute all right, oh it is.

751
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: You can't beat it. All right, let's get the favorite

752
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: performances of the week here. I'm gonna go. Eagles gonna

753
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: get to their defense in the next segment. But I

754
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: want to go offense here Davante Smith, and not just

755
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: because he's on my fantasy team and I've been waiting

756
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: for this to happen, but nonetheless eight catches, a buck

757
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: sixty nine and a touchdown. He's a perfect compliment to

758
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: a j. Brown. I think you could say they're almost

759
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: opposite in every way in terms of how they're built, Uh,

760
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: their style of play. It's a nice variety of weapons

761
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: that Jalen Hurts has to throw the ball to. You

762
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: think about Dallas Goddart, a tight end. Uh, They've got

763
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: Quez Watkins who's a real speed merchant. They've got a

764
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: lot of different directions they can go. But it was

765
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: fun to watch Davonte Smith just shine. He is an

766
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: outstanding route runner and when the ball gets in his hands, Buck,

767
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: this dude's got a different gear. You know, once he

768
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: gets the ball and he can go, he can absolutely go. Yeah,

769
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: he does have a different gear and he's a big

770
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: reason why Jalen Hursts was able to play the kind

771
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: of game that he was able to play. Uh. The

772
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: other day, I'm gonna say this about the fild day

773
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: because they are legit. Man. They are looking each and

774
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: every week like a title contended. We'll see if they

775
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: can continue to keep it going. But Jalen Hurt throwing

776
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 1: in Devanti Smith is a big part of it. Speaking

777
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: of Smith, Arthur Smith was in his bag. Arthur Smith

778
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: finally did something that many teams could not do. He

779
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: made Cordera Pattison a running back. And not only did

780
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: he make him a running back, he showed him how

781
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: to be a workhorse running back and be effective. I

782
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: guess the Seahawks. This dude had over a hundred yards

783
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: rushing the ball. I mean, look, he's ten plus years

784
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: in the league coming downhill at running back, and he

785
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: looks like he should have been a running back his

786
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: entire time. Physical, tough, great vision, finishes, uh plays the

787
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: right way. He has been the bell cow for the

788
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I don't think anybody envisioned number eighty four,

789
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: that's right, number eighty four lining up and died into

790
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: eye and playing tail back in the National Football League.

791
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: He's so explosive. I mean, remember when he was with

792
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots, right and we were going back and counting

793
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: all the carries he out of Tennessee and like got

794
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: something Belichick must have saw and wanted to try to

795
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: capitalize on it. And he is absolutely grown into that

796
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: role as a full time RB one one, both for

797
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons and in fantasy football too, um, which I

798
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: know our friends on Fantasy Live talked about quite a bit.

799
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna get to another standout performer from

800
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: the running back position here, guys, and he comes from

801
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. And it's not David Montgomery who got

802
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: banged up after just three carries in that win over

803
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Khalil Herbert, I'm at the late round

804
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: pick out of Virginia Tech coming up big for the

805
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears in this game. Twenty carries one and fifty

806
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: seven yards and a pair of touchdowns, including one in

807
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: the second half that gave the Bears a lead they

808
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: would not relinquish. And so not only was that really impressive,

809
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: and I think there was kind of some whispers, you know,

810
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: early in the season, late in the preseason, like hey,

811
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: watch out for Khalil Herbert. He may be the guy

812
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: that kind of overtakes h Montgomery as the lead back

813
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: in this Bear system moving forward. And well, now it's

814
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: because of injury, but he is a guy that I

815
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: would love to have on my fantasy squad. Um but

816
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: he is. He was a big plus for the Bears,

817
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: and so that in this game. And the other reason

818
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: why it was such a terrific performance is because it

819
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: now masks the fact that Justin Fields completed just eight

820
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: passes in this game and got picked off twice by

821
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: the Houston tex Texans. So now the Bears feel like,

822
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: at least they can rely on the run game here

823
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: while they try to figure things out through the air. Yeah,

824
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: don't tell it a whole lot. Now they're gonna rely

825
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: on that run game in their defense, and so far

826
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: one of the biggest surprises of the Bears are two

827
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: and one at this point in time. So nice job

828
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: there by their coaches to have playing to their strengths.

829
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick little break. We're gonna come

830
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: back and talk about a pass rush that completely dominated

831
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: a football game, took it over, and it might just

832
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: be the best team in the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles.

833
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: They might be the best team in the NFL right now.

834
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: Through three weeks, have been dominating and they've been doing

835
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: it behind Jalen Hurts in their offense. The defense survived

836
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions and the shootout, but this is

837
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: a defense that's starting to get better, and the pass

838
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: rush took over and their game against the Commanders nine

839
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: sacks of their former teammate and Carson Wentz and guys,

840
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: when you look at the tape and break it down,

841
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 1: it's not really a mystery. It's a combination of three things.

842
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: Number one, first and foremost, Carson Wentz holds the ball forever.

843
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: Get the ball out of your hand, Carson. Number Two,

844
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: they are getting interior push. That is huge when you

845
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: look around the league at pass rush, you've got to

846
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: have interior push helps collapse the pocket, helps your ends

847
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: have the ability to get home without the quarterback having

848
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: the ability to step up into the pocket. So they've

849
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: been getting the speed off the edge, the interior push,

850
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: and you have a quarterback in Carson Wentz it's holding

851
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: onto the football right. That's usually a formula for destruction

852
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: for an offense and a pretty good afternoon for your defense. Yeah,

853
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say so. And you're watching Hassan Reddick here,

854
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: who was a menace off the edge in this game

855
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: as Sam consum. He definitely took his fair share of

856
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: l's in this game. But as you and I were

857
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: talking about, um, you know earlier, like this was not

858
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: just a ton of one on one pass rush winds

859
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: right by the Philadelphia Eagles. So yeah, Carson Wentz plays

860
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: a big role in a lot of these sacks. And

861
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: what did you see? I mean, obviously big Jordan Davis

862
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: coming at is not a great site right up the

863
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: middle right, there's just nowhere to go when the interior

864
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: is collapsing the pocket that way and the way that

865
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles can um. But like, is Carson just is

866
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: he holding out for like the big play you know

867
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: that we saw him didn't make, you know, those big

868
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: places we saw him make earlier in his career, you've

869
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: seen he's just maybe not seeing the field as well

870
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: as you like for a player of his experience level

871
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: in the league like which we're you know, where do

872
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: they go from here? I mean, look, but Bucky and

873
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: I we've talked about this a lot that year. Remember

874
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: hashtag golf versus hashtag once We all were involved in

875
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: those debates during that draft class. Buck, to me, it's

876
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: just a lack of anticipation he's not thrown with anticipation.

877
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: And when he's in this kind of a mode, when

878
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: that's happening where he's just holding and waiting and sitting,

879
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: you gotta move to launch point. Man, you gotta move

880
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: the pocket. You gotta get him out of there. Uh.

881
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: And I think that frees him up a little bit.

882
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: He's very comfortable on the move. I just think when

883
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: you sit him back there and he gets in this

884
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: mode where he's waiting and waiting and waiting, that's no bueno. Man.

885
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: You gotta switch it up. Yeah. I think for him,

886
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: he does need to move better, be be on the move.

887
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: Mean boot legs, sprint outs, dash passes, all the things

888
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: that change and vary the launch point because the crew

889
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: in front of him they're okay, but they're not stellar.

890
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: And so if he gets hit, like most quarterbacks, he

891
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: get hit, his eye level changes. He doesn't necessarily show

892
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: the same courage and fearlessness in the pocket if he's

893
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: been rattled around a little bit. So you want to

894
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: make sure that you protect him. And one of the

895
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: ways you can protect him is get him out of here,

896
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: don't keep on the don't keephim on the spot, move

897
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: him around. So we can have half field reason and

898
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: do some things. We can be aggressive and decisive with

899
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah. Look, this is not the cow the

900
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: nineties Cowboys offensive line. This is not the Hogs. I

901
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: should say that's a better example there for folks in Washington.

902
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: Probably not all that he's got to get. He's gotta

903
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: get the ball, all right. Let's switch over to college. Here,

904
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: a couple of takeaways here, let's each throw one out there, Buck,

905
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: I want to get to you quickly, be Jean Robinson.

906
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: I know they didn't win that game against Texas Tech,

907
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: but he is special and get ready. The hot tanks

908
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: are coming. The anti running back crowd is making their case.

909
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: The pro running back crowd is gonna be ready to fight.

910
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: We're headed towards a battle. But I'm gonna tell you

911
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: right now ahead of time, this dude's going in round

912
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: number one. Oh. He's talented. Man, he's talented. So it's

913
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: und so unusually to see him fumbled on their last drive.

914
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: They gave Texas Tech an opportunity to win it and

915
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: win in overtime. But he's talented. He does everything that

916
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: you want to see at the position. You can run,

917
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: he can catch, he plays hard runs, downhill, finishes with power,

918
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: all those things. So we can check off all the boxes.

919
