Speaker 1: What's up everybody, d J Bucky Here, a little uh,

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: a little combo pod as we like to call it today,

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: bucket NFL action, and a little college acts. I know

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting, a lot of good football stuff

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: to discuss. Man, let's just get right into it. You

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: want to jump you don't. You don't want to preview,

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: You just want to jump right in. Like you go

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: into a movie theater. You're like to wait. I like

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: to wait. I like to wait until all the don't

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: want to and then I like to jump right in, like, hey,

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: let's start the movie. I don't need to see all

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: the other stuff. It's the underrated thing, though, is when

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: they do the surround sound things. You can test out.

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: The surround sound always a big fan of that. Well,

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, since you want a preview, we can preview

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: this one. We talk a preview. Now, I don't want

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: to pre it. I'm gonna get I'm I'm an acquiesced

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: to the people who like previews and movies. Evidently like

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: that's that's what they go for. So instead of a

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: moving two hours, just two thirty because you watse eight previews.

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: But here we go. We will talk about the Monday

29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: Night recap, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay fits, Maggie went up

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: and down, Josh Rosen being named the starter. We'll talk

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: about two contenders having a defensive depth tested early, the

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: l A Ram Delona Falcons, and then which franchise should

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: trade Olivia have some fun with that. Then we get

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: the chance to do a little contender pretender with every

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: team that's two and one or better in the NFL,

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: and we get into the college football recap and talk

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: about some of the happenings there. But let's start off

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Buck really entertaining game. I thought it

39
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: was I thought it was over. In fact, I had

40
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: picked Tampa to win this game video and so when

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: it was thirty to ten or whatever it was, I mean,

42
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: I had steel had some very vulgar Steel group. Steeler

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: fans had a block. A few folks last night did

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: not did not have nice things to say. Was kind

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: of and it was like a lot of Ben Roethlisberger

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: laughing pictures and you're more on all this kind of stuff.

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: And all of a a sudden it was thirty to twenty

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: seven and we got a little silent on there. I

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: stopped getting all those all those tweets, but Tampa could

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: not find a way to finish it off. But over all,

51
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: your takeaway from from the Fitz magic roller coaster ride

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: you got last night, as well as the Steelers getting

53
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: a big win, I mean, he is what he is.

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: He's a guy that is the ultimate gunslinger. He does

55
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: not care. I think that was evident. Uh in the

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: game on Monday night, he doesn't blink. Three interceptions on

57
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: three consecutive drives, comes back and Steel throws for over

58
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: four hundred yards, leaves them uh back on really a

59
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: furious rally had him in a position where they almost

60
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: could come back and steal the game at the end. Look,

61
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he can sustain this, this

62
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: reckless play where he's carefree and just kind of making plays.

63
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: But in this offense, for whatever reason, it works. It

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: works because he has a talented cast, maybe the most

65
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: talented cast that he's had. They make plays all over

66
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: the field. And so if you're dirt Cutter and you're

67
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: looking at this and you're looking at what you're getting

68
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: from this offense, man, I think it's hard to put

69
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: the plug on the fits Magic experience. Because you're scoring

70
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: thirty points a clip. It's hard to say, hey, I'm

71
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna give it to Jamison. Think that James can pick

72
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: up where Fitzpatrick left off. You think top five and

73
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: it's easily top five receiving corps in the NFL, right

74
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: without a doubt. I mean they have everything. When you

75
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: add into tight ends Cameron braid O, j Howard, and

76
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: you got the guys on the outside, they have everything

77
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: that you can. They just don't have the running back

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: in the running game. But for fist magic is better

79
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: because he's like, oh, we don't need a running game.

80
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: It just gives you more throws, more shots. So that's

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: what he's doing, no question. Well, it seems to be

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: seems were working in terms of yardagin points. No doubt.

83
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the sound after the game.

84
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: We had both the dirt Cutter and Fits. You know,

85
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna be asked the question about Jameis Winston

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: his return from suspension. Let's say let's hear first what

87
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: dirt Cutter had to say, followed by Fits. You know,

88
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. I mean, I'd love to get

89
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Jamis face to face before

90
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: I tell the rest of the world. Uh, look, we

91
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: we gotta. We got a good football team. I'm proud

92
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: of these guys. We came up short today and uh,

93
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta everyone now will jump back off

94
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: the bandwagon, and rightfully so. We gotta go on the

95
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: road our next two games, and it's hard to win

96
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: on the road. We gotta we gotta get back to

97
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: get back to business on Wednesday. You know, I have

98
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: so much fun playing this game. I have fun playing

99
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: with these guys. Uh, And I'm you know, I'm here

100
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: just ready to do whatever it takes the health of

101
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: the team win. And I think that'll be my mindset

102
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: going forward. He's gonna be still to be the starter.

103
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: You do realize there there's no way they're not going

104
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: back to James right now, No, not right now. I

105
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: think I think you're trying to write a high hand.

106
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: I think all teams are trying to get to ten,

107
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: and I think the thing that they've discovered is one

108
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: their defense is bad. So when your defense is bad,

109
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: you need to be able to score as many points

110
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: as you can. Tampa Bay is scoring. I mean we

111
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: talked about it like this scoring almost thirty year clip.

112
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Every time they walk out with Fitzpatrick at quarterback. You

113
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: have to sustain this kind of offense until they can

114
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: fix the defense. And I will say this, Jamie said

115
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: outstanding preseason. He was throwing the ball all over the yard.

116
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: He was completing the high percentage of his past is. However,

117
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: when you've seen Fitzpat you come out and play the

118
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: way that he's played during the regular season, it is

119
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: just hard to put a plug on it until he

120
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: absolutely just kind of falls off the cliff. Yeah. I mean, look,

121
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: if you want to, you can. I think you can

122
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: even go on game pass if you if you forgot

123
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: what Jamis did in the preseason, some good things you

124
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: can get on the NFL dot com. Checkout game Pass.

125
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: You can check out all the all twenty two footage

126
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: for the regular season preseason as well, so lots of

127
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: you to check out there with that. But I just

128
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: think the way he's going right now you mentioned kind

129
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: of that hot hand and the team kind of rallying

130
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: around him as well. I think from an organizational standpoint,

131
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: this is uh, this is not about the future at

132
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: the moment. You know, you always want to keep the

133
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: future in mind, but right now it's about this is

134
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: a team that needs to have a good season, hopefully

135
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: get into the postseason secure you know, the job there,

136
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: your head coach. And the best way to do that

137
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: right now, as the facts are, is Ryan Fitzpatrick. Now

138
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: that could he throws three picks no touchdowns next week,

139
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: it'll be a quick cook. He doesn't have a long

140
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: lease here, but if he continues to play at at

141
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: the level he's at right now, he's gonna be the guy.

142
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he asked me, you have to ride it out.

143
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: A Look, everyone's job is on the line right now,

144
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: Dirk Cutter, even a general manager Jason Light they need

145
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: to make the best decision to kind of give them

146
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get into the playoffs, because I think

147
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: a playoff appearance is going to be necessary for everyone

148
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: to kind of stay in Tampa. This is a deal

149
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: where you have to go to jameson, Look, the guys

150
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: have we're gonna ride the hot hand. It's not an

151
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: indictment on you, even though it kind of is that

152
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: they won't hand you the job back. But you gotta

153
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: tell them to right stuff and keeping gage and say, look,

154
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: it's going to come back around to you. But right

155
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: now the offense is so hot, we don't want to

156
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: mess with the chemistry. All right, let's let's get to

157
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: the other news. Here's some other news. Josh Rosen named

158
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: the starter for the Arizona Cardinals. I think we both

159
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: went on record and said that should have happened a

160
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: week ago, a week late on that one. But and

161
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: to me, this wasn't a very difficult decision. Now, it

162
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a difficult decision. I couldn't understand what took him

163
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: so long. Even in the preseason, Josh Rosen played well

164
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: enough where you can make a pretty strong case that

165
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: he should have been the starting quarterback. The thing that

166
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I want to see from theres on the Cardinals now,

167
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy, how are you going to get the young

168
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: quarterback going what kind of things are you going to

169
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: put in the game plan to allow him to get

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: into his sweet spot. Unlike the rest of the young

171
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that have entered the league, Josh Rosen played in

172
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: a traditional pro style offense at u c. L A.

173
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: So where you could jump start at the offense with

174
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield doing some of the stuff he did at

175
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Oklahoma some of the spread concept. Same thing for Sam

176
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: Donald Josh Allen. You really can't do that with Josh Rosen.

177
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: So what concepts fit for him to kind of get

178
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: him some of those easy completions, some of those settling plays.

179
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: That's the challenge that Mike McCoy would have to make

180
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: getting his young quarterback into a groove very early at

181
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game. That go back and watch

182
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo last week and look at how they got Josh

183
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Allen in a nice groove. That was a nice script.

184
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: I think the script they could they could follow very

185
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: easily there in Arizona. But I think was the right decision.

186
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Now we have what four or the five first round

187
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks we have starting now, only when it's missing is

188
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. We didn't expect to see Lamar Jackson until

189
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: maybe the middle of year if Joe Flacco fell off.

190
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: But right now, all the young quarterbacks they're playing, and

191
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I'll learn from this going

192
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: forward when it comes to the draft, all that stuff

193
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: that we talked about, Hey, they need a year, whatever,

194
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We will make the evalue what it

195
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what we we need to figure out how

196
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: to make the evaluation and simply say, when you play

197
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: this young quarterback, here the instructions. I know we've done

198
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: that before, but yeah, all these guys are gonna have

199
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: to come in with some instructions how to get them

200
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: going as young players. All right, let's get to some

201
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: other news here. I was actually on the phone with

202
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: with an executive in the league and we're talking about

203
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: the difference between the NBA in the NFL, and he

204
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: actually used a comparison to NFL season is almost like

205
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: a hockey season, uh, and that it's it's gonna challenge

206
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: your depth and it is more marathon than a sprint.

207
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: I know, the n b A, you know, you have

208
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: a lot of games, or eighty two games, but he said, look,

209
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: you get you know, you got your two or three guys.

210
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: You keep those two or three guys healthy, those star players.

211
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: It's a star league. You've got a chance to win

212
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: in a in a big way. In the NFL, man

213
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: your whole roster. I mean, look at the Eagles winning

214
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year with all the guys they

215
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: had on i R. So now we're starting to see

216
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: some of these teams that we had big expectations for

217
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, their depth is being tested,

218
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: starting here with the Los Angeles Rams. So I saw

219
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: it last week, both those corners going down and keep

220
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: to leave. Looks like he's out four to six with

221
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: an ankle, Marcus Peters out two to four with the

222
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: calf that's according to Ian Rappaport there. And then the

223
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons much worse. Ricardo Allen he's done for the

224
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: year with his achilles. That just happened. Count O'Neill and

225
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Dion Jones already gone. So the depth of the Falcons

226
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: and the Rams, amongst some other teams is really going

227
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: to be tested here. Yeah, this is one where as

228
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: you're building your roster, you have to think beyond the

229
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: first twenty two. You have to make sure that all

230
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: fifty three on your squad can be contributed in some

231
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: way shape former fashion. And those backups, those guys that

232
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: we kind of laugh at in the preseason, the guys

233
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: that are playing in the second, third, and fourth quarters

234
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: and those second and third preseason games, those guys matter

235
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: because when you have the injuries like the Rams have had,

236
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: like the Falcons have had, those guys are going to

237
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: have to play and you have to be able to

238
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: trust that they can get the job done. This is

239
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: a situation that when you're building your roster, you're always

240
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: looking to turn over the bottom part of the roster

241
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: because you want the best possible bottom third. That is

242
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: what matters. That's what separates two good teams from the

243
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: great teams in the National Football League. Yeah, and look

244
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: it's the Rams, man. That's not an easy test either.

245
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: You down both corners and here comes Minnesota on a

246
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: short week on a Thursday. You gotta be up and

247
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: ready to roll. And that's to me, that game. We'll

248
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: get into that another time, but that to me is

249
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see. The past rush of the

250
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: Rams of Vikings offensive line is not very good. But

251
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: that's when we talked about injuries at one position. Not

252
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: only need guys to fill in to replace them. You

253
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: need other guys that other positions to step up and

254
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of take a little pressure off them, and that

255
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: will be a challenge there for that Rams defensive line

256
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: fully capable of getting after the Minnesota Vikings offensive line

257
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: will be key to help out those young corners. The

258
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: one thing about the Rams and the luxury that they

259
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: have their offense can be they their their offense can

260
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: play at a pace where they make it very very

261
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: difficult for you to play balance football when you have

262
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: the ball. I think it just puts more pressure on

263
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. But I think they have the luxury being

264
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: able to play fast. They can play slow, They can

265
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: kind of grind it out if they need to, or

266
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: they can shoot the three, they can go with the

267
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: long ball. This is a team that's unique and how

268
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: they play offense. I just believe now you put more

269
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: pressure on their offense and their offense will control the game.

270
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: So maybe they play a little slow on offense to

271
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: protect the defense that is missing some of the star power.

272
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: The other interesting thing comparing these two teams, Atlanta a

273
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: little more painful when you have those defensive losses. When

274
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: you've got Tampa New Orleans and Carolina those offenses to

275
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: worry about, whereas when we look at the NFC West

276
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: and what's going on there, not as much there to

277
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: threaten the Rams. Nothing would Jimmy g being out of

278
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Uh, the new quarterback. The only team did

279
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: they really have to really worry about would be the

280
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, And I just don't know if they have

281
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: an in their roller coaster. Yeah, I don't know if

282
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: they have enough weaponry to really challenge him. The ramp

283
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: ship skate into the playoffs before we get to Contender.

284
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Pretender have something with that. Uh, the news out there,

285
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: Levan Bell, I've you know, it's been out there that

286
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: they've they're listening. Now, the teams are calling, they're listening.

287
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: I was told that they've actually, you know, called some teams,

288
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: so that that's communications working both ways. Um, But the

289
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: team that got mentioned. I was sitting there watching the

290
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: tape with Rhett uh lewis our buddy the other day

291
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: before the Aftermath show, and we were just kicking around,

292
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: looking at the salary cap and looking at teams were

293
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: their position who could be in the market for Levian

294
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: Bell to make that trade, And we kind of narrowed

295
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: it down to two. We we said the Jets and

296
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans just because they had the money Houston

297
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: Texans have. I think Lamar Miller has one more year

298
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: left on that deal, so they can get out from

299
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: under that no problem. And just trying to find some

300
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: help there for your young quarterback into Shaun Watson, he'd

301
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: give them a definitely a dynamic weapon. And then with

302
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: the with the Jets. The interesting thing that my theory

303
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: on that is the hey, they've got tons of money,

304
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: they've got tons of room. But when you look at

305
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: next year, and we've touched on this a little bit

306
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: on the podcast, with all these young quarterbacks and teams

307
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: following the blueprint of trying to load up while you

308
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: have your quarterback on his rookie contract, there's gonna be

309
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: more There's gonna be way more demand than supply in

310
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: terms of offensive weapons in the off season, and fregency

311
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: is not that great. So you're gonna have teams like

312
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Cardinals, um who else took first round

313
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: picks this year, the Bills. We're gonna see all these

314
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: teams jockey and for position to try and to try

315
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: and help their guy. The Chiefs are already in pretty

316
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: good shapes. I don't think they need to do anything

317
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: their young quarterback. But there's a lot of teams to

318
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: bear is still probably even looking for more help. So

319
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to weigh over pay in free agency

320
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: to go get some help for your young quarterback. Maybe

321
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: the trade route is a way to go, and Levy

322
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: on Bell it would be a nice, nice edition there

323
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: to help out your young quarterback and Sam Donald. You know,

324
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: it's funny that you say that because there's some other

325
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: teams that the list. I know you mentioned the Jets

326
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: and in the Houston Texas both have young quarterbacks. But

327
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: how about the San Francisco forty Niners and the Indianapolis Colts.

328
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: And here's why this is a long of your play

329
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: in San Francisco when you get Jimmy g back and

330
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I know they signed Jered McKinnon, but imagine having a

331
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: guy like Levan Bill playing in the offense that Kyl

332
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Shanahan uses, where you have a running back that can

333
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: not only do it as a runner, but as a receiver.

334
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: They don't have explosive playmakers, they can work inside out

335
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: with Levyan Bill and then with the Indianapolis Colts, I

336
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know if Andrew Luck has ever had the luxury

337
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: of having a legitimate difference maker in the backfield with him.

338
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: When you look at how this team was constructed when

339
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: they had paid Manning for years. First you had Edrean James,

340
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: and then you also have some other first round picks

341
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: like a Josepha Die that could do some things. I

342
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: believe with Andrew Luck, it is important now more than

343
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: ever that he has someone that can alleviate the pressure

344
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: off of him and the way that he's having to

345
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: play this dincon dunk style, having a running back like

346
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: a Levian Bill, because certainly and had an added dimension

347
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: to their offense that they probably need to protect them

348
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: from having to be a long ball through it where

349
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't appears that he's most comfortable. And I like

350
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: the Colts idea there. I think with the with the

351
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: forty Irons, they're probably just gonna hunt on this season,

352
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: get Jerick McKinnon back next year to go along with

353
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, so I would imagine I can't see them

354
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: being aggressive for this is kind of a win now move,

355
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: especially because the dynamics and play with the contract situation.

356
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: You can't renegotiate right now with Levian Bell. I guess

357
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: you'd kind of do a wink and a nod deal,

358
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: But then he gets out there and gets hurt. I'm

359
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: sure that's out the window. So it's a it's a

360
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: complicated situation because of the franchise tag and where that

361
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: is right now, you can't guarantee you're gonna have the

362
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: long term deal in place. But I just think teams

363
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: that are looking to be aggressive. The Jets were rumored

364
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: to be very much in on the Khalil Mac sweepstakes,

365
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: came up a little bit short. Maybe they go swinging

366
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: for the long ball again. Here you don't know the team.

367
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I forgot another team you're talking about win now. The

368
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packs would also be a nice fit for

369
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Levian Bill because they certainly haven't had a running back

370
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: into Aaron Rodgers era, and as they continue to kind

371
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: of fall behind the pace, they have to find some

372
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: way to ask some balance to that offense. Maybe he

373
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: would be a nice fit too. I like your thoughts

374
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: are all right, Let's uh, let's play a little contender.

375
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: Pretend we're gonna go with through every team two or

376
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: one or better and just had a real quick discuss.

377
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: We'll go rapid fire here and just hit him with

378
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: contender or pretender. Let's let's kick this thing off. Okay,

379
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: let's do it alright, buck. Miami Dolphins are three, and oh,

380
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: let's go contender, pretender? What you got? I'm gonna go

381
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: away for tenders status right now? Oh wow, heartbreaking. I'm

382
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: just not all the way convinced. I need to see more. Um.

383
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: I like the way they play this far. I like

384
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: I like how they've been getting the ball to a

385
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: bunch of different playmates and the defense is played better

386
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: than I anticipated. And I thought it would be a

387
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: case of addition by subtraction, meaning they gather rid of

388
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: in dominance Wue, they gather rid of Jervis Landry, some

389
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: of the stronger personalities in the room, allowed to coaching

390
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: staff to take control and it's working. But I just

391
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know talent wise, is this a talented enough team

392
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: to be one of the final four. I just think

393
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: they're more talented team finals. I mean contender. I thought

394
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: we were going to playoffs. I mean playoffs. You should

395
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: be England, you picked to beat You have him four?

396
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: And oh I do have four. No, But we're talking

397
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: about contender, and you still hit him with the pretending

398
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: on the way you can contend is that you have

399
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: to be in the final four, right, Like four and

400
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: no teams don't make the playoffs. Come on, I'm trying

401
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: to win the chip the whole thing. I see. It's

402
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: all about criteria. I see what what amy point is

403
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: just trying to get him into dance There they're contender

404
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: because I have apparently have different criteria than you, you're

405
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna be I picked them to go ten and six.

406
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: I feel good about that. That prediction ten and six

407
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: and maybe they win a playoff game. It makes him

408
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: a contender in my book. If you get into the tournament,

409
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: you're a contender. That's why I'm like, you're one of

410
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: those guys. You hanging banners at app State if y'all

411
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: make the n c Double a tournament in basketball, you're

412
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: just having a banner for being one of sixty five

413
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: one even I don't even know if we col basketball

414
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: up there. Come on, you have some national championship banners,

415
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: have some lofty expectations. Little picks trophies in that pigskin case.

416
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: See what that in North Carolina. It was so sad.

417
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: Let me so sad when you hire our coach too.

418
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: You know that's coming, May. I don't know if we

419
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: are know we're gonna play the Mountaineers. I know that's coming.

420
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 1: Just come. Oh man, I can't wait. All right, Uh,

421
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: this one, this will be a quick one here, Los Angeles,

422
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Rams contender, pretender. You want to say it on three

423
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: one to three contender, Hey, get the Confetruar, get the Confetruary,

424
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: get a confetruardy to Rams are right there. I know

425
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: they've had some injuries, they lose their two top corners,

426
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: but actually might be a blessing in the skies. Oh

427
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: the quarnerback into leap, keep to leap. He'll be ready

428
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: down the stretch when they really need him. In market.

429
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: Peters to be back in a couple of weeks. This

430
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: offense is really why you're excited. You're excited because they

431
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: can light up the scoreboard or anybody they deserve to

432
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: be in the mix. All right, let's let's keep it

433
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: moving here. Baltimore ravens Ah, I'm still not sold. I

434
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know if the Offers can score enough points. I

435
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: I still call him a pretender. I still know if

436
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: there's I don't know if they score enough points on

437
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: a consistent basis. That that Thursday Night done is still

438
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: kind of just sitting in the pit of my belly.

439
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: I just don't know how to digest that when I

440
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of that they were awful

441
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: and that that primetime game. I know they came back

442
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: and bounce back this week. I can't call him, I continued, Yet,

443
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: I think I picked them preseason to win the division.

444
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: But I'm with you on it's a little bit of

445
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: a roller coaster, right, I'll go pretender as well. Here

446
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens to meet this feels like a

447
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: nine and seven team and eight and eight team. Just

448
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: a little bit up and down for me. Um, so

449
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: we're on the same page. They're like Kansas City Chiefs

450
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: three and oh this is a quick one here. Tend

451
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: to pretender and they're contender. Continue. If I had a

452
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: little emoticon or anything like that, I would have fireworks,

453
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: because that offense just delivers fireworks. Pat Mahomes thirteen touchdowns

454
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: three games. You've never seen anything like this. Look, I

455
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: know I was kind of late to the party when

456
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: it came to him doing uh, remarkable things in the league.

457
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: But he has been every bit as good as advertised.

458
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Look Andy Reid saw a little bread farming him. He

459
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: is more than delivered on that. I will say this,

460
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: Their defense stinks. They are not good on the defensive

461
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Maybe maybe Earl Thomas comes in

462
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: on his wife save the defense. The can City Chiefs

463
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: are the best half cour basketball team that you could

464
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: ever find. They play a game and make it, take

465
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: it and they're always making it. So why do you

466
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: play defense? Like? I love that? All right? Denver Broncos

467
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: to the Denver Broncos are two and one. That's a

468
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: sneaky two in one. That's a sneaky two in one.

469
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Because their quarterback hasn't played great case keenom. Because of that,

470
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: I believe they're pretenders. I just don't think they're good

471
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: enough at the quarterback position. I don't think if they

472
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: get in a game where they need the quarterback to

473
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: win it, I don't know if he can get it done. Uh. Defensively,

474
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: I like where they're going. Obviously not good enough, not

475
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: quite yet. Pretenders to me as well, I'm with you

476
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: on that. I just I look inside that Division. I

477
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: still I like the Chiefs better, like the Chargers better.

478
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens there. Chicago Bears two and one

479
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: another surprising team, the Fighting Khalil Max two and one,

480
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: the Fighting Khalil Max Um. Here's what I would say.

481
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: I would say that the Chicago Bears would be contenders

482
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: and maybe even the favorites if they had Red Grange

483
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback. However, they have Mitchell Drobiskie and I'm worried

484
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: that he's not going to get him there, so they're pretender.

485
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: Despite having a defense that is awesome with Khalil Mack

486
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: and some offensive weapons that I would love to throw to,

487
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: they just don't have a thrower that can give him

488
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: the ball consistently. I'll say contenders because every year we

489
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: have a team with a quarterback question that that's just

490
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: good enough everywhere else they can get into the playoffs.

491
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: And I like their offensive line, like the run game,

492
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: and defensively they only scoring the first and third quarters.

493
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: The only offenses we see ugly offenses get get this

494
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: done with with a sloppy We always remember, we always

495
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: have that quarter of that playoff matchup and we're like,

496
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: how is this quarterback? In the in the postseason. I

497
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: think that's a chance we have that this year. And

498
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: I think I think he needs to take the Bears

499
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: into the locker room at the every quarter. It just

500
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: started all over new script. Knew everything for every quarter,

501
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: because once they get off the script, their quarterback cannot

502
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: make enough plays. And it pays me as a Look,

503
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: he's a tar heel. I love him to death, but

504
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: he just hasn't been good enough and they're having to

505
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: play around him, and I think it's too hard to

506
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: call plays around a quarterback. They need their quarterback to

507
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: be a contributor. He right now, he's kind of an anchor.

508
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: We gotta go rapid fire to get to this Sully.

509
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: There's like five million teams that are two and women. Yeah,

510
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: we could have a million of all Right, here we go, Tampa, Tampa.

511
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: I think I think their pretenders love the offense, I

512
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think they can win consistently with

513
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: its magic there and then when Jamis comes back, When

514
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Jamis comes back, who knows when it will be. I

515
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: think there, I just don't think they're in the mix.

516
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: My concern with the fits turnovers, my concern with Jami's turnovers. Therefore,

517
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go pretender as well. New Orleans Saints two

518
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: and one. Buck, I think the pretender's defense not good enough.

519
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: That defense has kind of come back. Yeah, I don't

520
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't know why we got

521
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: the golf clap. I say, pretender, not contender. Yeah, you

522
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: can switch it up. No, no golf claps for me,

523
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: for DJ, so pretenders for me. Their defense has to

524
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: play better. And in that division, I don't know who's

525
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna come out of there because nobody's playing great defense,

526
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: with exception to Carolina Panthers. One thing is, though, I

527
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: think they get Ingram back. Give them a little bit, uh,

528
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more physical edge to them to go along.

529
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: Compliment came here. I think offensively are one of those

530
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: team's gonna have to outscore you. I thought they would

531
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: be better on defense. I've been very disappointed they. I'll

532
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: say pretender. Let's go Carolina Panthers two and one. I

533
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: think they are contender because they can do two things

534
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: that typically gets you into the playoffs and get you

535
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: on a long run. They can play really good defense

536
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: that defenses lights out, and then they can run the ball.

537
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Cam Newton, whatever that combination is. Particularly downe

538
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: the red zone, they find a way to put points up.

539
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: North Turner's hip camp play a little more efficiently at quarterback.

540
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: Panthers are contenders better than I thought they would be.

541
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: I'll go contenders as well. And you you hit it.

542
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: As we get later in the season. All these high

543
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: flying offenses, all the passing yards, all that kind of stuff.

544
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: That's that's cute. But once we get a little bit

545
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: later in the season, be a little more physical, being

546
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. That's gonna help them out.

547
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: I think they are a contender as well. Washington Redskins,

548
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: tu and one. Okay, this is tough for you because

549
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: you love Alex Smith. But you're gonna say pretender because

550
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna do the smart thing and you're gonna trust

551
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: your instincts, and you're gonna say, don't don't say contender

552
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: because you don't believe it. I look in your eyes, like,

553
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: so here here's the thing, because it requires me to

554
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: admend a statement that I made earlier in the year

555
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: when I talked about the New York Jaants and printing

556
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: the shirts and all that other stuff. So I still

557
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: believe you can print. The Redskins are gonna print shirts.

558
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: To believe you can print your shirts printing. I believe

559
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: you can print the shirts for the Jazz, But maybe

560
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: those shirts are wild card shirts and maybe the division

561
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: shirts will go to the wash. The ris Skins because

562
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing right now, they're dusting it all. And

563
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: I know my uncle, Ricky and DC would be really excited.

564
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: Ricky and might Gould be excited because they're Riskins fans.

565
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: But Adrian Peterson uncle a new edition. Yeah, yeah, that's

566
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: that's what they are. A new adition, new edition, the

567
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: DC version. But they are being able to run the

568
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: ball like Adrian Peterson has given them that John Riggin's

569
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: presence Alex Smith is just good enough to help him

570
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: win a playoff game or two. I like the red Skins.

571
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: The red Skins are sneaky good. The Redskins are pretenders.

572
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not come on. I think at some point in

573
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: time Adrian Peterson has been phenomenal. I hate to ever

574
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: doubt Hall of Fame layers, that's what he is. But

575
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: eventually I think he's gonna slow down a little bit.

576
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: The age is the thing that matters so we'll see

577
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: if you can stay healthy through the entire run. My

578
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: my doubts there. I'll say pretenders there, Philadelphia Eagles to

579
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: and one buck. You've already crowned every other team in

580
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: the division. You're still upset the Cowboys aren't getting talked

581
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: about more. Uh, you've already said print the shirts for

582
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: the Giants, and you're printing the shirts for the Redskins.

583
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: So I know you're going pretenders here with the world champion.

584
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to go with pretender status for the for

585
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: the defending world chance. I think they're finding that it's

586
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: harder to be the champ. I think it's tough for them.

587
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: I love Carson was. In fact, I went back and

588
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: look at some of the stuff from North Dakota State

589
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: to just kind of see how amazing he was when

590
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: he was coming into the league. And look, he is talented.

591
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: I just don't know if he has enough around him.

592
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: All the playmakers on the outside are heard, the running

593
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: game is up or down, and they're not playing the

594
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: same caliber defense. Look, nice story. I'm glad he's back.

595
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're good enough to win

596
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: it again. Uh, they're very much they're very much contenders,

597
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you a couple of reasons here.

598
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: We talked to the top of the show about the

599
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: Rams and the Falcons and and the attrition and have depth.

600
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: So while some teams in the NFC are losing star players,

601
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: they're gaining star players. Carson Wentz came back this week.

602
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey will come back next week. Timmy Jernakin will

603
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: be coming back soon. Sprowls and a gi who both

604
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: missed last week, they'll be back. They're gaining so much talent.

605
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: They're adding players as the season goes along. They're they're

606
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: gonna be just fine. They're gonna be fine. They laid

607
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: an egg. They laid one egg. They laid one egg

608
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: against Tampa in the hottest planet. They didn't look great

609
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: against the Colts. They didn't look great. They won. It

610
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: was the first quarterbacks first game back. He'll be fine.

611
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the rest of the squad'll be fine.

612
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: Colts are better than you think. Stop stop hating on

613
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: the Colts. Tennessee Titans two and one. I know you

614
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: don't believe in them. I have a hard time believing

615
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: in them because I know they don't don't believe in themselves.

616
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: By the way, Tights fans are not happy with us.

617
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: They don't feel like we've give them any love. I mean,

618
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: it's hard hard to give them love. They don't even

619
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: know which quarterback they're like blaying Gabbett and Marcus Mariota

620
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: like they don't they didn't even know a differentist quarterback,

621
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna go with it. That was That

622
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: was a nice win for them against the Jackson with Jaguars.

623
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if this formula and recipe is sustainable.

624
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: They can't keep winning on fake punts and all kinds

625
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: of other stuff to win games. It's hard to win

626
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: like that each and every week in Nation Football League.

627
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: At some point their quarterback has to be able to

628
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: be a driving force. I don't know if they're good

629
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: enough at a quarterback and do it. I salute them

630
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: for being a tough, gritty team and find a way

631
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: to win a football game in a very ugly fashion.

632
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: But hey, you beat the Jacks, who I think one

633
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league. Hats off to you.

634
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: I still think, though, I'll go pretender on them. I

635
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: just mentioned the Jacks there, Jack's two and one. I

636
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: think we're both on the same page here. They're gonna

637
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: be fine, even though the quarterback is is a little

638
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: worrisome at times. Uh contender for me, I don't know

639
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: if you're if you're an agreement all. I'm dear, I'm dere,

640
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm down. I'm down with the Jaguars. Disappointed that they

641
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: didn't play well against Tennessee Titans. But that's kind of

642
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: the ebb and flow that you'll see with them because

643
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: in consistent at the quarterback means and it consistent offense,

644
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: they need to be able to play better, need to

645
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: put more points up. All right, let's say let's transition

646
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 1: here real quick to some college before we get out

647
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: of here. And now we don't have a ton of time. Um,

648
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: but what we saw last week, I thought maybe the

649
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway when you watch Alabama's offense, I've never seen

650
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: Alabama's offense look like this with toa and and by

651
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: the way, does anybody throw a prettier ball than he does.

652
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, beautiful passed way it comes out and for

653
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: it to be left because it spends away from most receivers.

654
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: He finds a way to get it in there. And

655
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: that man the supporting cast. They have everything. They have

656
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: everything that you could want. Like this smorgaspore given offense,

657
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: anybody and everybody can eat for them. And uh, the quarterback.

658
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: See you see my comparison for him during the game.

659
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: I tweeted it out, which which which got about. I

660
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: would say, the people said, that's the greatest comparison of

661
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: all time. That people said, you're crazy, You're an idiot,

662
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: just delete your Twitter account. It was kind of just

663
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: hit me when I was watching my he looks like

664
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: Steve Young. I can see that left handed kind of

665
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: the same kind of movement style and move around the

666
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: same controls and Steve Young which just kind of like

667
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: he would just kind of ease his way to first

668
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: downs as a runner, running with one hand on the

669
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: ball like it just something mannerism wise, and the way

670
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: he throw the ball just kind of remind me. Obviously

671
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: they're both left handed, similar size, but through the Steve

672
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: Young out there. Any time you compare a college kid

673
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: to a Hall of Fame, you're gonna get some blowback.

674
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: Oh I can see getting a little blowback. I think

675
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: the interesting thing is what are they doing with Jalen

676
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: hards do Overhurst played in the game. I thought they

677
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: were trying to retain his regards, I know, but I

678
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: thought he was trying to rich But he think but

679
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: he thinks, he thinks, I can. They're gonna be in

680
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: so many blowouts. He's gonna play in a lot of

681
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: games this year, so he's still gonna get some work.

682
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: And then his whole thought is I'm good enough for

683
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: while I'm gonna be a graduate transfer. I don't want

684
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: to sit out a year, so I'll transfer a play

685
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: one year, and I'll go to the league at what position? TBD?

686
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: All right, that's the That's what I mean. This is

687
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: one of the uh. I mean, look a J McCarron

688
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: probably the best quarterback during the Saban era. Would you say,

689
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not even two? Is so much better?

690
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: It's not even close. Yeah, I mean, yes, he's the

691
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: best quarterback that Nick Saban his head at at Alabama.

692
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: Did we talked about this? Right? You saw the Stanford

693
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: Oregon game? What crazy game? That was crazy game where

694
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: you getta is finish the game, finish the game, couldn't

695
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: finish the game. And then what I mean, tell me

696
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: when you've been on the field, I'm playing at the

697
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: college level. You did it at the higher level, at

698
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: the highest level of the NFL level. You remember, like

699
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: in in moments like that late in the game, trying

700
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: to run out the clock. But you can't just take

701
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: a need to finish the game. But surely those are

702
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: the talking points before you when you get on the

703
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: huddle on the sideline where you've had teammates, coaches, whoever,

704
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: saying guys, we have to protect the football, two hands

705
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: on the ball, like those reminders. Surely those are uttered

706
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: on the sideline, right. I mean they're fighting for an

707
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: extra meaningless yard and fumble the football late in that game.

708
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: That's just inexcusable for Oregon. Yeah, and you just need

709
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: to finish these things that you work on every weekend.

710
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: Pricize if you talking at turtle situation, running the clock

711
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: out everyone in the stands. You want to hold onto

712
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: the ball, secure ball securities at the premium, you want

713
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: to stay in balance at the clock run. For them

714
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: to not be able to finish it off is a

715
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: little disappointing, but look, Stanford has to be excited. They

716
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: got a new love life. Uh, get a chance to

717
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: go to Notre Dame play the quarterbacks. Not bad by

718
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: the way, I mean Herbert, Herbert was the star of

719
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: the show, even though they like phenomenal. K. J. Costello

720
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: looked like an NFL quarterback in that game. I mean

721
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: he really did. He played well and I thought, um

722
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: coming back, just some big completions, poise in the pocket.

723
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: He is a yeah, he's the traditional you know, pocket passer.

724
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: He is a big, sturdy dude with plenty of arm strength.

725
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: And just to me, the poison was what jumped out

726
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, just just the poise, just the way

727
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: that they he's able to play. I just like man,

728
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: I like so many of these young quarterbacks, so many

729
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we're gonna talk about coming down. There's a

730
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks in the class. You know, like everyone

731
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: kind of poopooed on the quarterback. So there's no quarterback

732
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: coming into class. Ah, not not not so fast. There's

733
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: some playmates, there's some guys to be excited about. Excited

734
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: just continue to see these guys progress. Yeah, essentially, when

735
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: you're even just trying to compile a top five and

736
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: we'll have our top twenty five list a little joint combined.

737
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: The top twenty five was me and Bucky put together,

738
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: which is so early and we've seen so little of

739
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: these guys in terms of study study, uh, the real

740
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: study process that goes into making an evaluation. So I

741
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't read too much into it early on, but there's

742
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks for us to comb through it

743
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: depending on who ends up to claring and coming out

744
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: in this draft. We've got a lot of guys and

745
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot of I think, you know, NFL starting caliber

746
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: players not see the debate. I think Herbert could be

747
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: a he could be a superstar type player. How many

748
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how many at that level that we

749
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: have in this class, but I do think we haven't

750
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that could be starters. Yeah,

751
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of guys that could

752
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: be starters, and I think they're are handful of guys

753
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: that that I think the two or three that potentially

754
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: could be in a superstar category. For me, I would

755
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: think that Herbert is one of those guys. I think

756
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: Drew lock can can be a guy that has some

757
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: of that stuff to him. And then whatever classification we

758
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: want to put Haskins in from Ohio State, I think

759
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: Haskins has some special stuff to put him in there.

760
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: I gotta do more work on him. I was gonna

761
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: put him in there in the top twenty five. I

762
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: just haven't done enough on him. So I got do

763
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more work on him. A pillion of

764
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: time there. Who knows that he's gonna come out or

765
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: not anyway, So we have to to wait and seeing

766
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: that one young kid who's not gonna be able to

767
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: come out as a true freshman. Trevor Lawrence named the starter.

768
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: I know I got to see him at the Elite

769
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: eleven a little bit. I know you spent more time

770
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 1: with him up there, Buck, But man, he can man,

771
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: he has fun to watch. Man. He can spend it.

772
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: Super talented one. I want to say. He won all

773
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: of his games in high school, so he's a winner.

774
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: He understands how to get his team to the winner circle.

775
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: The one thing that you will see in Clemson's offense

776
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: that he will bring. He brings the explosive playmaking ability

777
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: in terms of in the passing game. Uh, even with

778
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and Todd's boyd before him, and UH Kelly

779
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: Brian and some of the other guys that have played quarterback,

780
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: they did it more with their legs Deshaun Watson obviously

781
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: made plays in the past game, which is why he

782
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: was the top pick. Trevor Lawrence will be the best

783
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: pure passive that they've had in that offense, and so

784
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: they'll lose some of the playmaking that they would get

785
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: off the zone read, but they will add a dimension

786
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to really leaning on the playmakers. I

787
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: believe they feel like their program is now in a

788
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: situation where maybe they don't need the quarterback to be

789
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: the guy that is running to want all the other stuff.

790
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: They need to just allow him to get it to

791
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: the five star athletes in a perimeter and let those

792
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: guys do the hard work. And he has he has

793
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: some play makes that T Higgins, Oh yeah, he's nice. Uh,

794
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: Mari Rodgers, they got dudes, man. Uh. Sully, we gave

795
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: you some homework on the last episode there because we

Speaker 1: love listening to coach pruittt from the Falls Us love

797
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: hearing his voice. So we know we had the situation

798
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: there with the player that no longer I don't know

799
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: if he's still on the team or not, but he

800
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: left the field. Um situation there, So did you so

801
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,959

806
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: Since I've been here, he has done everything we have

807
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: asked him. He did leave the field during the game

808
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: because he didn't go in when it was asked to.

809
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how things were done before I got here.

810
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: I but absolutely sucked. But that's that's you adding the editorial. No, no,

811
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I think that was his no ball. That was it? No,

819
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,520

00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,840
