1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: back together. Buck, How you doing man? I am good, DJ.

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited because training camp is underway. UM. It is

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: always great when we have an opportunity to look at

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: these shows and you begin to see guys going into

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: camp carrying to helmets and showed up as and moving

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: around being getting real football. And so, as you know,

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: once camp stars, we're in a marathon. And so it

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: is on each and every week until we get to

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: the middle of February. So I'm really excited right now. Yeah,

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: that that ride starts and it is a long ride. Um,

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: and then we're off and going. I'm curious by the way.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to, uh some some of the least

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: type teams. A little bit later, I'm gonna talk about those.

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: We don't want to leave any teams out. Talk about

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: one of the top college players had a chance to

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: look at over the last week, Buck, and we can

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: have a good conversation there. But I'm curious. I saw

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: something about this the other day. It might have been

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman was talking about it, but you know conditioning tests.

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: What was your conditioning tests? And for those that don't know,

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: what's that look like? Oh man, um so conditioning tests.

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: They come in so many different forms. When I was

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: with the Green Bay Package, we would do three hundred

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: yards shuttles. A three hundred yard shuttle is basically everyone

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: aligns on the goal line, you run and touch the

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: fifty yard line, you go fifty and back three times.

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: Uh so it's six runs in between, and there's a

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: designated time for you to make somewhere is normally low

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: fifties depending on the turn. In Jacksonville, we did that

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: uh three shottle, but we did it differently. It was

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: sixty yards and so you did five runs, but the

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: time was shorter because the more turns that you have,

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: the more time. But the one that I've heard, the

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: one that is the beasts that they all talked about

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: is the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens do UM six

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: one fifty yard shuttles, but it's from goal line to

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: twenty five yard lining back three, a lot of stopping,

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: a lot of turns, and the time is in the

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: low thirties. For like your skills in your linement, and

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: so it's funny. I watched someone I want the reporters

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: do it a few years ago and it looks like

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: a monster. It is a two to one breast so

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: if you go thirty two seconds, you end up getting

46
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: seventy or so seconds rest a nightmare. So yeah, now

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: those conditioning tests are master, but you have to do

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: it because you want to see where guys are at

49
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: because I've always felt like this is weird DJ. So

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: you do all the offseason program, right you. You work hard,

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: you spend eight nine weeks getting everyone ready, and you

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: let everyone out the building in June mm hmm. And

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: in that month and I have to there away. They

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: can fall out of shape, so they need to train,

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: but you want them to be smart because you don't

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: want them to get hurt. But then if they come

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: back and they're out of shape, is this thing? And

58
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've always wanted if there's a better

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: way for the NFL to bridge that time, so it

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: could be the full ramp up in the training camp

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: instead of working stop then having to start all over

62
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: again when you get back to it. Yeah, I think

63
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: a lot of teams have taken to that though in

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: terms of maybe being a little bit slower at at

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: the launch of camp. And it used to look, you know,

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: you grew up in the two day era, man like that.

67
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Those don't. Yeah, we're getting right to it. Paded up

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: twice in a day like that doesn't happen anymore. Day

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: three we're at it, you report, you drop your bags. Uh.

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: The next day you have the conditioning desks, the conditioning tests,

71
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: and then after that, Yeah, we're going. We're going. And

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: it's not Hey, we're gonna ease into it, We're gonna

73
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: walk through. Nope, balls down, we're playing. Yeah, you're right.

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have and I've had to coach

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: say this. I mean, you're just trying to win the

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: first three days of camp. You're just trying to get

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: through the first three days with no soft tissue injuries.

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that everyone is kind of

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: acclimated to how we're doing and how we're practicing. There's

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: plenty of time to get the work in. You want

81
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: to make sure everyone is on the on the same page,

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: no doubt. Well, I'm glad I've had to do the

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: three Hundreyard shuttles that was ours in college, and that

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: was I hated it, man, because you're backward, would all

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: lock up because it's all at those turns. Man, it

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: didn't look bad. You watched the group before. I just

87
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: remember watching the group before you go and being like,

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: this ain't that bad, and then you get going and

89
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: you're like hit that butt lock as you hit that

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: last turn. North Carolina we did four hundreds, but four

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: hundreds on the football field. So if you can imagine,

92
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: oh yeah, down back, down, back, and I just remember

93
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: the time being fifty two or whatever, and they would

94
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: give you the option you can do three at fifty

95
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: may be done. Or if you miss any of those,

96
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: you gotta do that fourth one and make the original time.

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: And so if you're over zealous you go after and

98
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: go and get it. You better get it. Yeah. Yeah,

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: that's risky, man. Not a lot of fun, a lot

100
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: of fun at all. All right, let's jump in here.

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: This is what I wanted to do. I've been away

102
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: for a while and just kind of been reading a lot,

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: paying attention seeing what some of the coverage is. And

104
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I feel like, and look, it's you're always trying to

105
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: find the stories, and I feel like we've kind of

106
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: hit on a lot of these same teams um throughout

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: the off season for various storylines, and um, so I

108
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: just went. I went looked at the group of teams,

109
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams, and I try to think of, Okay,

110
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: who what are the five least talked about teams this

111
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: entire off season? And I want to give those fan

112
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: bases maybe a reason for some optimism, some hope, and

113
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: some excitement about what's to come, uh in the upcoming season.

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: So I've got this list of five buck Once we

115
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: get through this, you tell me if I'm missing anybody. Um,

116
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna start first with the Atlanta Falcons. Uh.

117
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Is there anything about the Falcons? I know, you know

118
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: with Arthur Smith, Matt Ryan has moved on Arthur Smith

119
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: year two. Um, the quarterback, he's reunited with Marcus Mariota.

120
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: Is there any reason for hope or optimism here with

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the Falcons? I mean, I think the hope and optimism

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: springs from the fact that this team won seven games

123
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: last year and the roster wasn't very good. Now, Maddie

124
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Ice was a big part of that because I felt

125
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: like despite the numbers, I thought I felt like he

126
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: played really, really well. He had a streak ended where

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: um for the first time in eleven seasons, first time

128
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: in tense seasons he had didn't go over four thousand yards,

129
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: but he did a really good job of kind of

130
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: keeping it together. Now with Marcus Mariota, this offense will

131
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: look a little different. Marx is a little more athletic. Um.

132
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Maybe not as precise when it comes to the precision

133
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: in the passing game, but good player, solid player. UM.

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: The issue that you have is in the passing game

135
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: you have Kyle Pitts, but I don't know where else

136
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: should go inside the cow pits Calvin really sitting out

137
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: for a season due to the violation of the policy. Um,

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: I just don't know where they're gonna get it, and

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a running game. Coderic Patterson was great,

140
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: list you can he replicate it. My hope is that

141
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is so good in terms of just kind

142
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: of the xs and ohs and the schematics, maybe you

143
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: can put another rabbit out of the head. That's where

144
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: my optimism spring from. Yeah, I'm gonna say, you know,

145
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the optimism offensively is that Arthur Smith is going to

146
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: kind of go to that Tennessee background of his of

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: ground and pound, and then when you do put the

148
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: ball up in the air, you've got two guys that

149
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: can win. You know, we think about what you already

150
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: discussed Kyle Pitts. I've been telling everybody, just get him

151
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: on your fantasy team. Oh the quarterbacks. You know, hitting

152
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: on Mariota and he's this that Mario likes toting the

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: tight end. He's gonna enjoy being able to throw to

154
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. Think about those Tennessee offenses he was a

155
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: part of. They've always had a key player, uh in

156
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: that spot. So I think you're gonna have a big

157
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: ear from Kyle Pitts. I think Drake London especially, you

158
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: run the ball bunch. You're gonna get some one on

159
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: ones and he can just big ball guys down the field.

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: So those two guys give me some hope with this offense.

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: But you know, look, and being a realist, Buck, if

162
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: this team were to be down in games, um and

163
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: you think about being in a division with with Tampa,

164
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: who's pretty explosive offensively. You think about New Orleans and

165
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: with Jamis, I think they're going to be explosive and

166
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: dynamic offensively, We'll see how the Panthers come together. But

167
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: this team is not built to come from behind. They

168
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: have to establish the run, play with the lead UM

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: and then I think that, you know, five hundred. It

170
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: maybe sounds a little bit optimistic to some folks. Um,

171
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance to hover around five

172
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: hundred this year if all those things come together. Yeah,

173
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: look at the other side of all the defense, can

174
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of keep them in the mix. A Treil has

175
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: blossom into one of the better corners in the league,

176
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: and can they generate enough of a pass for us

177
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: to help him on the back end. They have some

178
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: athletic UH players, but they just don't have any what

179
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I would call brand names on their front. And so

180
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: can Deean Dean piece find a way to kind of

181
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: patch work it, peace smellet together UH to keep them

182
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: in the mix. I do believe you're right, this is

183
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith. Their best defense will be their office and

184
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: how they elect to play, how they speed up or

185
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: slow down the game, how they control the tempo. But

186
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: maybe running the football or just being very efficient in

187
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: a short passing game. A lot of this is going

188
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: to be from a tactical standpoint, not a talent standpoint.

189
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: Can they play with different tactics to keep the game

190
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: tight and then find a way to win in the

191
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I think that's gonna be the keep for

192
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons are year. A couple of other guys on defense,

193
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: lay A Katie uh edge Russer. We both liked how

194
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: hard he played, how physical he was, come out of

195
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Penn State's got heavy hands. Excited to see him and

196
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: what he does in the NFL. D'Angelo Malone another edge

197
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: russer that they drafted there is an interesting one. But

198
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: the name I'm keeping an eye on, and we talked

199
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: about him. I think on an episode a little while ago,

200
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: it's Richie Grant coming into year to get more comfortable

201
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think early on it was

202
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of you get overwhelmed and excited about all the

203
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: different things he can do, and maybe now it's time

204
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: to narrow that down a little bit. But you've got

205
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: a lot of speed and athleticism there. Uh. That gives

206
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: me a little bit of hope. You know. If this

207
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons team had the first picking the draft next year,

208
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of us would probably be

209
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: surprised but I think they if they were to be

210
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, seven and nine, I don't think it would

211
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: be surprised either. Yeah, huge swings and various is huge

212
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: swings in terms of like the expectations, because they're good

213
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: enough to be a thorn in your side if you

214
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: don't bring your a game, they're good enough to win

215
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the game. And Arthur Smith is outstanding when it comes

216
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: to kind of dialing it up. So it's a dangerous team.

217
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: Not dangerous in terms of being a playoff contender, but

218
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: certainly dangerous on a week to week basis where they're

219
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna win. They gonna scratch out some wins, and they're

220
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: gonna be in the mix, uh in a lot of

221
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: these games that we talked about. All Right, So that's

222
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: the That's number one on our least type teams of

223
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: the off season. I'm gonna get to number two here

224
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with the Chicago Bears. I mean,

225
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: is there. You know we talked so much about these

226
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: second year quarterbacks and expectations and they take the next

227
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: step with with Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson. What can

228
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: we what can we anticipate? Trey Lance, the excitement about

229
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: seeing him get an opportunity there with the Niners. There

230
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: is like zero expectation on Justin Fields, which is kind

231
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: of kind of weird. Man and this Bears team, it

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: is weird. Outside of the city of Chicago, there hasn't

233
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: been a lot of buzz or conversation about Justin Fields.

234
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: It's just kind of in Chicago. Well, I mean, we'll

235
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: see if he's good enough to be our franchise quarterback,

236
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: that we do enough to help him and support him

237
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: and those things. Um, I think the bus has to

238
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: be like if you can wear orange helmet like they're wearing,

239
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: if they're can wear that bright orange helmet, not a fan.

240
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: You have to be explosive in dynamic of offense. You

241
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: cannot wear a helmet that looks like that and not

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: put up points because you're just asking yourself to be clown.

243
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: And I think they went in the middle of October,

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like that trick or treat type deal,

245
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: like a little Halloween flavor. Um, we'll see, we'll see

246
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: if Justin Fields tricks the Bears, if he treats them

247
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: to some spectaculive place. He's one of my favorites when

248
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: he came out. Let's see if they can figure it out.

249
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: The one thing they don't have. They do not have

250
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: what I would call a marquee weapon on the himeter.

251
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: And it's hard for quarterbacks to blossom if you don't

252
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: have a marquee player around him. In the past game,

253
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: there's a big challenge for just Yeah, I like Mooney

254
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: and we'll see if if Velis Jones can craft a

255
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: roll there. Maybe you know, he can be kind of

256
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: your jet suite gadget guy kind of just get him involved,

257
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands. But you're right, it's

258
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: not a it's not a real dynamic team. Another team

259
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: again in a in a world we live in, we're

260
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: throwing the football is is the way to go. I

261
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: don't know what this team I think, much like we

262
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: talked about the Falcons. They got to be physical. They've

263
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: got to kind of establish that ground game that they

264
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: have their you know, David Montgomery, Khalil Herbert, we mentioned him,

265
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, get another chance to take that next step

266
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: in year two. Was a nice player for them last year.

267
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: And then defensively, you know, I love ro Kwan Smith

268
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: and what he brings to the table. Obviously, you have

269
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn still get after you upfront, but they're relying

270
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: on a lot of youth in that back end and

271
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: that that group's gotta come together quick. That's gonna be

272
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: other quick. The one thing that we do know about

273
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: matt Epfluenced, this is a very simple defense. I mean

274
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: it is a hustle hard defense. They're gonna be very

275
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: simple and generic and how they play the coverage. Uh,

276
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: they're not gonna ask their guys to to learn a lot,

277
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: but they're gonna ask him to run to the ball,

278
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: to be very physical, to find a way to knock

279
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: the ball loose or take the ball away. Uh those things, Uh,

280
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: those objectives are attainable for the Chicago Bears. Um look

281
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: for Quan maybe to take his game up and notch.

282
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: He is not I would say as dynamic or explosive

283
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: as Dominia Darius Leonard. But in this defense, there are

284
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot of plays that just kind of ended up

285
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: in Daris Sender's lap. Rokean Smith occupied that role, I

286
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: expect him to fall into a ton of plays he's

287
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: played in the All Star level, but Kenny even take

288
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: it up to a higher level playing a defense that

289
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: really should be conducive to a skill set. Yeah. So

290
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: if they're gonna win games, um, and they're gonna surprise

291
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: people this year, I think are we on the same page,

292
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: Probably gonna be defensive oriented with how they get that done. Yeah,

293
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it has to be. I think

294
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: the the emphasis has to be on the defense playing well.

295
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: In Chicago, it has to always be about the monsters

296
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: of the Medway. It has to be about the defense first,

297
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: and you figure out the offense there because when they

298
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: won in the past, it has never been because the

299
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: offense is driving the force. Has always been because the

300
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: defense has been, uh, the workhorse, the one that carries

301
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: the water. And I would expect it to continue to

302
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: be so as we look at this team with Matt

303
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: even flew some rampoles and what they're trying to do

304
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: in the first year, I would expect the defense to

305
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: play ahead of the offense, but the offense should still

306
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: be able to help them squeak out a few wins. Yeah. Well,

307
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: there you go. We've got the Falcons number one, We've

308
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: got the Bears number two. Least hype teams. Let's stay

309
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: in the in that region of the country and let's

310
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: go to the Detroit Lions. I've got them as the

311
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: third least hyped team, uh, coming into this upcoming season. Again,

312
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: expectations near the floor. I mean, in some ways, I

313
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: almost think it's it's got to be weird showing up

314
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: the camp when you're like, do we didn't even exist?

315
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: Like nobody's talked about us. You know, the quarterback who's

316
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, see what you want about Jared Golf, He's

317
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: been in a super Bowl. Um, They've got some some

318
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: exciting young pieces, especially on defense, you know, coming off

319
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: this draft, it's it's uh, it's a team. I think again,

320
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to play the hand that they have because

321
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: there's no expectations. UM, and I think they have started

322
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: starting to get a little bit of identity, especially in

323
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: the trenches old line, d line Buck. Yeah, it's an

324
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: interesting UM team. You know when when when when you

325
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: look at them and you look at the pieces that

326
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: they have, they certainly are competitive enough to to give

327
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: you problems. Dan Campbell has done a really good job

328
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: of getting these guys to play hard. They play hard

329
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: from snap to whistle. There's a level of toughness that

330
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: you feel when you watch the tape. They just hadn't

331
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: been good enough. When then they had a little bit

332
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: of a infusion of talent, this team should be able

333
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: to go a little more toe to toe. Now, do

334
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: I expect him to win a ton of games. No,

335
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: But I think this is a team that when you

336
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: play them, you're like, oh my god, I'm gonna deal

337
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: with this. This team a lot of energy, a lot

338
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: of effort, of enthusiasm. I think this team is gonna

339
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: be competitive. I don't know if it translates to a

340
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: gang of wins, but I think they will be in

341
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot of games late in the fourth court. And

342
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how long it takes before we

343
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: see Jamison Williams out there, um and see what he

344
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: can bring with that with that speed man. They were sure,

345
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: you saw the video, They were sure fired up to

346
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: get him the draft from the party in there. Uh,

347
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean I know that right now. That means somebody

348
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: has a plan for him. That's what that means. Somebody

349
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: has a plan for him. So someone has been looking

350
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: and saying, if we just can get hands on him,

351
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: this is the one that to help us go to

352
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: the next level. Uh. So we'll see. Uh he is

353
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: he is great Uh, great opportunities. When you think about

354
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: Munro on one side, DJ Chark on the other side,

355
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: Deckson Williams doesn't have anybody that is necessarily fight to

356
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: get the ball. I can see them building the passing

357
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: game around him as a vertical threat, stretched playman. One

358
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: of the things we've said, and we've said it over

359
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: the years is it's hard to be a bad football

360
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: team when you are good on the offense and defensive line. Like,

361
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: if you're solid up front on both sides, now you

362
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: might not be a championship team. It's hard to be

363
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: a team picking in the top five when you stink

364
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: up front. You know, when you're solid up front on

365
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: both sides, you just you're gonna find your way into games.

366
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: You're gonna win games. And while I don't know that

367
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: they have all of the top end talent on the

368
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: defensive line, I think with Hutchinson coming in there, I

369
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: think they've got a nice mix of guys now where

370
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: they've got some depth they can roll those guys through.

371
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Alene McNeil does going forward.

372
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: I know you talked about him the other day, like

373
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: him coming out, Um, so they've got some they've got

374
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: some guys. They've got some pieces there, Josh Pascal, who

375
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: we talked about. Um, keep an eye Demetris Taylor. By

376
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: the way, my app state guys under AFT a free

377
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: agent who's you remember from the Carolina game, But because

378
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: he had the sack and scoop in the score, I

379
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: don't remember, like got up with it away. It's funny

380
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: you said about Ellen McNeil because he's from my hometown.

381
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: If you can imagine that guy playing in the outfield

382
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: in baseball so that we showed the do when he

383
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: got paid with the smokes man, it's unbelievable. But yeah, No,

384
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions have assembled what I call a team

385
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: that is really built in the image of the city,

386
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: a blue collars, scrappy team that's gonna get after it.

387
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what the overall talent is like in

388
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: comparison to some of the others, but man, if they

389
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: can get the game the way they wanted to make,

390
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: you kind of fight them in a phone booth, they

391
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to win some games. I like

392
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: what Dan Campbell is doing, then we've got to see

393
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: if it leads some more success. All Right, there you go.

394
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: There's number three on our least hype teams coming into

395
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the season. Let's get to number four and that is

396
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Now they've been mentioned, but more you know,

397
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: I've kind of done the sidebar of the you know,

398
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: the tail end of the d Shaun stuff they had

399
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: that they settled a bunch of those, uh lawsuits. But

400
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: in terms of on the field, buck as anybody said

401
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: one word about the Houston Texans this offseason, I can't recall. No,

402
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: they haven't. But this this is gonna be interesting. Why

403
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: David's Mills. David's Mills started a little bit, it sat down,

404
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: came back and had a chance to play at the

405
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: last part of the season. He played really really well.

406
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: Then we get a chance to see him grow. Uh

407
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's just Levey Smith, Floyd Smoke and he and

408
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: Pet Hamilton had really on the same page in terms

409
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: of Davis mills development. Uh, the way that he played

410
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: high efficiently he played. Maybe he's one of the outliers

411
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: at the position, someone just drafted, you know, outside of

412
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: the first round, but kind of emerges and settles in

413
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: as a starter, and when giving that opportunity, he never

414
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: relinquishes it. So it's look, they have more weapons than

415
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: you think. It's just kind of underrated. Brandon Cooks has

416
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: always been a really good player, but you don't really

417
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: talk about him on a national level. Um. And maybe

418
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: they just have a team that's just kind of rock solid.

419
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: But because they don't turn it over, they give themselves

420
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: a chance to win even more games when we get

421
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: to the postseason. Yeah, I think they're gonna find themselves

422
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: in some track meets. Um. I think defensively I can

423
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: poke some holes in that group. But you know, first

424
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: of all, we should offer our our thoughts and prayers

425
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: with John mechi um as he's kind of battling leukemia.

426
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: That was tough news to see the other day. Um,

427
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: a player, I mean, gosh, the phenomenal player. We talked

428
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: about a bunch on the run up to the draft.

429
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: You know how excited we were for him. One of

430
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: the pure route runners out there. But he's gonna probably

431
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: missed the season this year as he as he takes

432
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: on that battle. But as he pointed out in his statement, Buck,

433
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: it's very it's a treatable. Nobody wants cancer, but it's

434
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: a it's a treatable form of cancer. So our Our

435
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers are with John Metchi and his family

436
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: as he goes through this thing. Yeah tough. You know.

437
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: The good thing is they caught it early. Barle accounts

438
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: is one of the it was where he can have

439
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: a four recovery. He will be out this year, but uh,

440
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: if you know anything about Houston, you understand that the

441
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: medical situations and centers that are in and around that

442
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: city will give him the opportunity to really um maximize

443
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: the chance for enjoying a full recovery. And then on

444
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: the field, like they find a way to kind of

445
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: replace some of the stuff that he was going to bring.

446
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: But this is a team in loveyhead uh, the defense

447
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: and the team playing hard. They they competed. David Culley

448
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: did a good job of getting to play hard. Lovey

449
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: transitions and takes over, but I expect a lot of

450
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: it to remain the same. Defensively, they are a team

451
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: that has the right personnel to kind of challenge you

452
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: being in that Tampa two style, but be it and

453
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: a little more man demand, which is what lovey uh

454
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: did last year, what he wanted to do, which is

455
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: why they're extinctly was their their top pick Let's see

456
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: if they get after man, Let's see how aggressive they are.

457
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: Do they out for complex aggressiveness where they have a

458
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: bunch of different blisses and they're still trying to play fast,

459
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: or do they scale it back and allow these guys

460
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: to play fast because they know exactly what they're doing. Yeah,

461
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean another young player back there to Jalen Petrie,

462
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: we'll see. I like his chances to get on the

463
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: field early and often. So you've got a couple of

464
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: young players that can really run that defense needed to

465
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: get faster. Christian Harris, who they took in the third round,

466
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: by the way, another one who can really fly. So

467
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: I think they've done a nice job of adding some

468
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: team speed on defense. I still think though up front,

469
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: there's just there's not a lot that really scares you

470
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: when you when you look at that defensive front, and

471
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: so you're gonna ask those young guys have to cover

472
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. So I think there'll be some

473
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: growing pains there. But I do think this offense can

474
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: can sneaky find its way into scoring some points here. Um.

475
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see uh this next step going forward.

476
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: For for Nico Collins, there was some excitement there. Last year,

477
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Coats has been rock solid, consistent, Uh everywhere he's been.

478
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: You know what you're gonna get. It's a bummer with

479
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: them with the Metchy injury. But I think you know,

480
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: Larmye Touns so being able to get Kenyan Green next

481
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: to him, Larmy tuns kind of teach him up a

482
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: little bit, coach him up a little bit. You've got

483
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: a pretty athletic side there. So I think the offensive

484
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: line is gonna be better. I think the quarterback is

485
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna be better in year two. I just think early

486
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: in the season, Buck, I think they they're gonna have

487
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: a tough time slowing people down early in the years.

488
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: My is my prediction. So many young guys in the

489
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: back end. Yeah, with many young guys in the back end, Like,

490
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to get everyone on the same page. And

491
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: unless you're just going to be a simple simon defense

492
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: where you're playing with two iron deer on the lawn,

493
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: it's hard and so you're gonna have to kind of

494
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: take your lumps. And while you're taking your lumps, you're

495
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: trying to give those lessons so they won't happen again.

496
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: But it's a team that is very, very competitive, a

497
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: team that should like their chances of being able to

498
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of make a little noise and do this stuff.

499
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: I think the displayed a big part in it. All Right,

500
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: this last team, we've been going through the five least

501
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: type teams coming into the year. What we can expect

502
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: from them? How can we get hyped about teams that

503
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: haven't received any We've had the Atlanta Falcons, We've had

504
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, that Destroit Lions to Houston Texans, and

505
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: finally you told me if I'm wrong, have you heard

506
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: one word about the Minnesota Vikings since the season ended?

507
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: They are laying in the cut. They're really under the radar.

508
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean really under the radar. Talented team, man, there's

509
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on that roster four. Team that

510
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: certainly has talented team to underachieve you now, I mean

511
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: remove uh, Mike Zimmer. Would you bring in a young,

512
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: dynamic leader with energy who has been around enough quarterbacks

513
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: to understand what the position and should look like. He's

514
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: a guy who's worked previously with Kirk Cousins, so he

515
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: understands how to kind of build that out with with

516
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: with the quarterback in mind. But then I think about

517
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: how balanced you can be with the running game, and

518
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: think about Davin Cook and Madison, how how they're just

519
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: able to run the football. You think about the young

520
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: wire receivers, Adam Stealing, Justin Jefferson, even though Dealing came

521
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: back to the pack a little bit, still two guys

522
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: that can get it done and offensively, many kind of

523
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: match you and al you at the point of attack.

524
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: And so you better bring your big boy pads when

525
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: you played in Minnesota Vikings, because they are going to

526
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: put it on you, and if you're not ready for it,

527
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: you can find yourself in the in the lost column. Well,

528
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: I think you know, you look at schematically in the

529
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: run game, I think you'll see a lot of the

530
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: same things. Um, you know, this is a kind of

531
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: outside zone friendly group. You got outside zone running back,

532
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: You've got outside zone scheme, You've got an offensive lineman

533
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: that's athletic. It should you know, thrive in that in

534
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: that area. It's been a little bit up and down,

535
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: a little inconsistent. Want to see Garrett Bradbury kind of

536
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: become what we wanted him to become. He came out,

537
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: that'd be nice, But the nice thing with Cousins is

538
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: you have a lot of the system is kind of

539
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: the same. Here's the here's the difference. A. You've got

540
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: the creativity of Kevin O'Connell coming in there. But more

541
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: than anything else, you've got somebody who a likes you

542
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: and be believes in him. So it's amazing you've seen it.

543
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been around teams and seen it when

544
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: you have a coach player relationship, and I think Kirk

545
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: Cousins people can hit on them all they want. He's

546
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: been a top twelve type quarterback for several years now,

547
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: and now he's got somebody that's actually in his ear,

548
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: that's calling plays, that's the head coach of the football

549
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: team that's like, Hey, I'm I'm a Kirk Cousins guy.

550
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm in on you. I think you'll see that confidence.

551
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: I think you'll see Kirk Cousins have an unbelievably good

552
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: year this year. Well, I mean I like hearing it.

553
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure Minnesota Vikings fans like hearing that as well.

554
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: I will say. Advocacy is everything. Everybody needs an advocate

555
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: in the building. Advocate leads. Uh. If you have an

556
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: advocate in the building, not only do you get more opportunities,

557
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: but you're ensured to be set up for success in

558
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: those opportunities. Kevin O'Connell nose Kirk Cousins. By all accounts,

559
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: he's a Kirk Cousins fan. He is going to do

560
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: everything to get Kirk Cousins playing at the levels that

561
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: we saw him play it early in his career. Now

562
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: the trick will be how do I do this while

563
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: maintaining enough balance while maintaining control of the team in

564
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: my role as the CEO. It is going to take

565
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: the team to kind of help him stay on track.

566
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: But this is absolutely a great opportunity for him. All right,

567
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: let's let's take a quick break. We're gonna come back

568
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: and talk about one of the more intriguing college evaluations

569
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: as we always have an eye towards the NFL Draft,

570
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: and we'll finish up the show today with a couple

571
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: other nuggets here as training camps are just getting underway.

572
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Will be right back, all right, Bucks, So finished up

573
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: the first look series. Only the five guys this year

574
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: got a little uh got a little beat up here

575
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: health wise, had to go on the injured list, but

576
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: we fought through it, got got these five guys done,

577
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: the last of which was Bryce young Um and I

578
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: know were you because I'm trying to remember how this

579
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: timeline worked with COVID. So did you get to be

580
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: around Bryce with any of the Elite eleven stuff or

581
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: was that COVID I got a chance to see him.

582
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: I got a chance to see him kind of come

583
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: through there and all of that. He was always the

584
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: big deal. And at the previous high school where I

585
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: coached Notre Dame Sherman oaks Um, we try to get

586
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: him through a watching his first season he was at

587
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: Cathedral High which is downtown right behind your first place,

588
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium, like right behind being right there. Do you

589
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: know how do you know how obnoxious I would be

590
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: when we get Soto? You know how obnoxious I'm gonna

591
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: be what you guys we get Soto? Can you imagine?

592
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: Soto and tattoos? Just just haven't even haven't even played

593
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: a game. Did he retire? I haven't seen him? He

594
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: plays getting back, he's he started swinging again. We're gonna

595
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: add We're gonna add two m v P I've nobody's

596
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: ever added two m vps. As they're going to it's

597
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs we're fixing to do that. I've never seen

598
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: him actually want Soda to be either a Yankee or Dodger,

599
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: and I think more stop. I was at the home

600

Speaker 1: run Derby's kind of talking to him like kind of

601
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: I know that, you know what I was hoping it

602
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be, like he was gonna hit that last

603
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: home run and then Manny Machado was gonna come up

604
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: with that City Connect podre Jersey put it right over

605
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: his shoulders and go this go, go you own this

606
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,000

611
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: match up, Like I mean, you talk about a straight

612
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: ownership situation. We don't. We don't have hard guy. Our

613
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: guy hit four he hit forty two home runs in

614
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty games last year. He hadn't played,

615
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: got a roster. The MLB players, we're ten or eleven

616
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: games over five hundred without arguably the best player and

617
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: games back. I don't care about who buck the tournament, man,

618
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: you gotta get in the tournament. That's the tournament. Now

619
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: all we care about this, then we'll care about to

620
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: regular No. Look, there's teams that are built to win

621
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: the regular season. Get all your depth and all that this.

622
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, go Utah Jazz of the of the nineties,

623
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. You're gonna win anything. You got one Mickey

624
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Mouse championship for the Dodgers. That's it. One Mickey Mouse championship.

625
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Because we get to the postseason, we've got seven starters.

626
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: Guess what, Four of those guys go to the bullpen.

627
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Now are bullpens on fire? Well, speaking of on fire,

628
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: we'll get back to the rising. A premise of Price

629
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: Young watching him, we did. We took a little side

630
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: turn right there, a little side track watching he's everything.

631
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: The one thing this guy is what I called a

632
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: Las Vegas black jack deal. But he gets it out

633
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: much like a lot of the quarterbacks that come through Alabama.

634
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: His best traits, in my mind, are his ability to

635
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands quickly, to quickly

636
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: read the defense, to know exactly where the ball should go,

637
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: and to put the ball in the strike zone. The

638
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: one issue that people are going to have with him

639
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: is just when you watch him physically, you worry about

640
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: the size, you know, because there's a noticeable difference. I

641
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: had a chance to someone to be with him and

642
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud. It's a difference. C J. Stroud is

643
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: the prototype in terms of size dimensions. Bryce Young isn't.

644
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: But that's not to say that there's not a path

645
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: of Bryce Young to be high end quarterback. I mean,

646
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: just look at Cayla Murray and Cala Murray just sounded

647
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: whopping deals and he doesn't have the prototypical dimensions that

648
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: we look for at the position. I just think for

649
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: Bryce Young this year is about just showing everybody that

650
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: is accuracy is next level. Because if he can show

651
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: people that he can paint the point the corners and

652
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: consistently knocking in the strike zone, I think the size

653
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: thing we'll go by the wayside and people will focus

654
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: on the play in the efficiency with which he plays

655
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: the position. Yeah, it's interesting you mentioned those guys because

656
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: that is gonna be you know, they're they're kind of

657
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: traveling together and and I have not seen either one

658
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: of them throw live in person, So I think that

659
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: helps when you get a chance to be around him.

660
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: See all that everybody I talked to has said the

661
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: same thing. I talked to areas outs and actually the

662
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: college directors that have been doing their homework on these

663
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: guys and have been around both of them in person,

664
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: And the same thing happens with Bryce when I bring

665
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: him up, as everybody goes, you gotta be around he's

666
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: little man like he you you stand next to him,

667
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: he's little. And then I go, well, well, where do

668
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: you come down on me? Like I love him? Like

669
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, like there's a lot of forgiveness here. And

670
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: I found myself in the same boat. Because I haven't

671
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: even seen him yet. I'm sure that will be a

672
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a startling experience. He's smaller, he's smaller,

673
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: and I don't think I don't think. I don't think

674
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: he he'll be mad at me sharing this because yes,

675
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: how much does the size thing matter? Uh? And I

676
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: was like I said, it depends. It depends on how

677
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: good you are the other stuff. If you're really good

678
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: at the other stuff, the stuff that really matters when

679
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: it comes to playing quarterback, the i Q, the processing,

680
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: the accuracy, the arm talent within the size is isn't

681
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: isn't a big deal. If you're not like that, then

682
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: it becomes an issue because you wonder what what is

683
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: this going to be his remedy or his secret sauce

684
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: to allow him to have success. Normally, though, was different

685
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: about him from an athletic standpoint. He's not a runner,

686
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not he's a he's he's a classic

687
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: pocket passer. He does his work in the pocket. And

688
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: I thought you were comparison because I saw the pictures

689
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. I mean, that's that's that point. He's a

690
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: point guard. Yeah, Drew, Drew Brees was athletic in the

691
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: pocket that he had a tennis background and the ball

692
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: in and out of his hands, and when he settled

693
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: in and when Drew Brees kind of found his sweet

694
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: spot in New Orleans in terms of system, weapons and

695
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: how he played, it worked the same thing for Bryce.

696
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: Whoever takes Bryce Young, you have to know, Hey, this

697
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: is how he plays kind of like the other guys

698
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: that have played before him, but maybe it nots better

699
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: in terms of the talent. Hey, this is what he is.

700
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: He's a point guard. So hey, we're gonna get the wall.

701
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna surround them with weapons. We're gonna have pos

702
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. It's gonna come out, and

703
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a high efficient offense. It allows him

704
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: to go to work. All right. Here's here's how I

705
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: would kind of explain that with Bryce talking about his athleticism,

706
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't think with I think of recess. Remember when

707
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: when we were kids we played freeze tag? Oh? I

708
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: like that. You remember that, you tag them, then they're frozen,

709
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: gonna wait for somebody else come tag you like. He

710
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: would never be frozen. He is phenomenal. He is ultra

711
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: twitched up short area. So in other words, you put

712
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: him in a little eight by ten room, guys aren't

713
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get their hands on him very

714
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: very much because he's so quick. Now you want to

715
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: put his hand on the line and hask him run

716
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: four yards. I don't think he's gonna blow anybody away

717
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: with that. I don't think he has that type of juice.

718
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: But he's very sudden, he's very urgent, he's very quick, um,

719
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: and he's got phenomenal instincts, maybe as good at instincts

720
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: as I've seen from a player that's only played for

721
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: a year in college, talking about being able to feel

722
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: backside rush kind of just slide drift away, being able

723
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: to climb up in the pocket to get away from it.

724
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: I want to throw requires you to drop your arm down,

725
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: change your angle. He can do that without impacting his accuracy. Um,

726
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: he see you make a mistake. If there's a hole,

727
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: he finds it. He gets to number three really quickly

728
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: for a young quarterback. He said, you know Mac Jones,

729
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: we mentioned that was his kind of his superpower was

730
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: just being able to process. Bryce says, the same type

731
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: of a thing. He gets there quick and he can

732
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: find it. He's willing to take the check down. So

733
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: I know the size thing, and I know that that

734
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: bothers a lot of people, and I you know, maybe

735
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: that'll influence me when I'm around him up close in person.

736
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: But buck accuracy all three levels, poise, decision making, playmaking, twitch.

737
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: Then you hear about the stuff at the school, intelligent leadership,

738
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, work ethic, all that stuff. I'm like, okay, well,

739
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm am I really gonna take all that good stuff

740
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: and just throw it away because he's not big. You know,

741
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that's that's gonna be the challenge for

742
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: teams going forward. But that's that dude is a good

743
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: football player, man, and the learning a lot of time

744
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: ago in this business, man, you can't go wrong with

745
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: good football players. Like we can talk about wanting the

746
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: Beauty Badge winner, but at the end of the day,

747
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: can the guy play ball and he certainly can ball

748
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: out And I just believe that when you when you

749
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: watch him at Alabama and I know he's surrounded by

750
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: A level players and those things. He played in big games,

751
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: and I remember the game last year against Auburn when

752
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: he didn't have it going. J couldn't get it going

753
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: for most of the game, but then when they needed

754
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: it in the fourth quarter, that long drive, that long

755
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: drive at the end, he is just absolutely dealing and

756
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: dropping dime after dime after dime. To me, that's what

757
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: I want to see. I want to see how he

758
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: performs in those moments, and he's already shown that he

759
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: can deliver. And I think for him and c. J.

760
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Stroud and some of the other quarterbacks this year would

761
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: be interesting because you want to see him in uh hot,

762
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: very competitive situations, high level moments. How do they perform

763
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: and throughout his career Bryce Youngest performed, So let's see

764
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: if you can do it again. Can I just give

765
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: you one point out one thing here for the most part,

766
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: because I think we have to it away, um you know,

767
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: from from burying guys because of or you know, not

768
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: burying them, but being a little bit overly critical because

769
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: they're playing with better dudes and they're playing against We

770
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of years ago. Buck, you

771
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: remember that. I mean when you look at you look

772
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: at it and go back to the twenty one draft.

773
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence had better dudes, and almost everybody played against

774
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, considering the competition they were playing, had better,

775
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: had better dudes, Trey Lance, they were superior to everybody

776
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: that they played. Uh, justin Fields at Ohio State, Mac

777
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Jones at Alabama, Like they're all throwing too people that

778
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: are better than the guys that are trying to cover them.

779
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you know, look what he was working with

780
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: at LS. So it's it's a challenge, you know to

781
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: obviously had that group, you know, the one outlier. It's

782
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: like justin Herbert, maybe that should maybe that's the thing.

783
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's hey, stop penalizing guys for playing with great

784
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: players and maybe start giving guys that haven't played with

785
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: good players a little bit of a bump. You know,

786
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm not pulling those guys down, but maybe you can

787
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: push the other guys up. Do you have more example,

788
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: you got justin Herbert, you have Josh Allen, you have

789
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. All those guys have to play with lesser,

790
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: lesser cast And it's funny because all of those guys

791
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: we kind of deem and in part because of what

792
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: they play. You know, the completion center is just and that,

793
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: and so maybe you're right, it's not about the ones

794
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: who are blessed with the talented guys, but let's look

795
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: at the ones who are doing more with less and

796
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: maybe give them a little extra love. Because if you

797
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: now put them in those situations, what would Josh Allen,

798
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: what with Pat Mahomes, what would they have looked like

799
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: at Clemson and Alabama respectively. I think that is a

800
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: big part of the evaluation. Yeah, it'll be It'll interesting

801
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: to see what happens with this upcoming class too. You

802
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: know Will Levis, I did him earlier, We talked about him,

803
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: and I think, look, I had two dock points I

804
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: gotta dock points the mayo and the coffee that that

805
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: that that begins it maybe question your your judgment. So

806
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: I just gotta put them to the sec But if

807
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: you think about this, there no adversity he will ever

808
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: face on a football field quite like that morning putting that.

809
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: Why do you start that? How does that even happen?

810
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Hell like Hellman's mayo and coffee. Yeah,

811
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: not not a good situation. But it will see what

812
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: happens with him in the in the evaluation process. But

813
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: if we do end up having a Stroud c J.

814
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: Stroud versus Bryce Young, it's gonna be it's gonna be

815
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: very similar to that discussion we had a couple of

816
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: years ago. Because you're gonna say it, man, he's looking

817
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: at the Ohio State receivers. Yeah yeah, but then look

818
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: at those Alabama receivers because you know they got dudes

819
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: again coming back. So yeah, I just gotta evaluate the

820
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: guys individually and and uh, we'll see how they play

821
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: this year. I am fired up, though, for for college

822
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: football to get here, especially because we haven't even talked

823
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: about it yet. We'll get there when you get our

824
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: coaches on we got app State North Carolina. I think

825
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: it's week too, though it's not the opener. I think

826
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: it's week too though it's it's like Labor Day weekend. Yeah,

827
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: we gotta go. We gotta get Mac back on, and

828
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: we'll get Shawan Clark back on. Coch coach is really

829
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: testing right now. I don't know if very testy, very testy. Yes, yes,

830
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: he's very testy. He's very up about last year's last

831
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: year did not sit well with him. He's very very testy.

832
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: I look, it's red and I've ever seen he's so happy,

833
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: go lucky. This is now. It's very testy. He's very

834
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: testy right now. Just yeah, I don't know. I wish,

835
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: I wish there was a way we could figure out

836
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: what we could get out there. But with your high

837
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: school stuff and with my son going into that high school,

838
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we can pull that off. But if

839
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: ever there was, if ever there was a move that

840
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: sticks on the road, North Carolina, adapp State should have

841
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: should have been in Boom in Boom, and I hope

842
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: we can pull off the upset. Look at that. You know,

843
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta step up and play the big boys. Buck. Yeah,

844
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,160

00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: there might be ten thousand Portablest Thou people at that game.

851
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: That atmosphere is great. I'm just playing on the September

852
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: and not in decent was all snow and all that.

853
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see. I'm glad I'm playing. I like playing

854
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: the big schools early before they kind of find their

855
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: sea legs a little bit, try and get it, get

856
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: them before they get settled in, and then we have attrition,

857
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: we start losing some bodies. We don't have quite the depth,

858
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: you know. So I want to play them early. Although

859
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,239
