1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Hey, what's calling on everybody? Welcome to this Move the 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: Sticks Monday. Tim Brent lewis here with our former NFL 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: scouts to lead draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks, where 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: we own takeaways like the Packers and Aaron Rodgers the Bears, right, 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: I mean, the lines have been told. Okay, thank you, 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: and that is one of those trends, by the way, 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: that we're gonna get to here just ahead. But let's 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: begin like we always do, guys, with our big three 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: here on the Monday, and for that we go back 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: to Foxborough to begin with the Cowboys, oh in five 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: when facing Bill Belichick coach Patriots teams finally breaking through 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: with that thirty five twenty nine overtime win in this 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: game really decided in the final seven minutes of regulation 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: and overtime, where we saw five lead changes or ties, 15 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: which of course culminated with the Dak Prescott the Ceedee 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Lamb walk off winner in overtime. So let's start this 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: thing here, Bucky by looking at this Cowboys offense and 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: how the Patriots tried to defend them, and how that 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: played kind of into the Cowboys hands. Are as you 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: see Dak Prescott now seven games with four d plus 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: passing yards and three plus passing touchdowns, so it puts 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: him up there. It's a pretty good company. But no, 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: it was crazy about Dak Prescott going against the Patriots. 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: The Patriots want to make you play with one hand 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: tip behind your battle. So coming to the game, Bill 26 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Belichick wanted to make sure that he took away Ezekiel Elliott, 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Tony Pollitt and the running game, and they dared Dek 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Prescott to throw it all over the yard and man 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: he responded and splendid fashion. Because remember this is a 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: defense that has really given quarterbacks problems in the past, 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: the complexity of the defense to constantly changing blitzes and coverage. 32 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott handled it not only like a pro, but 33 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: like an m v P player. And when you go 34 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: back and you think about the way Deak Prescott has 35 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: played the last ten games, he has five performances over 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: four hundred plus yards and so everyone wanted to see 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: could Deak Prescott step his game up and play at 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: an elite level. He has done that in super fashion 39 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: and this game against the Patriots was a showcase of 40 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: all this time. He could have been better O my God, 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: those the red zone turnovers to meet fast eyes. Like 42 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: when you watch him, you see fast eyes. He is 43 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: processing everything so quickly and getting the ball where it 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: needs to go. That's what jumps off the tape to me. 45 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: When you study Deak Prescott, everything is being processed immediately. 46 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: You know what jumps off the tape. And you study 47 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense, you know, seven interceptions now to match 48 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: his number seven on his jersey and look at you know. 49 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: I loved how we went back to Dawson Knox's UH 50 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: draft profile going you know, going into his NFL career 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: last week. This week, I'm just wondering, does the Tramon 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: Digs draft reports say anything about ball skills? DJ pull 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: it up and we can pull it up right now. 54 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 1: I can show you when you when you study him 55 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: in college, this is what jumped out. You see mentioned 56 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: their ball skills twice. And also as a former wide receiver, 57 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: you didn't have big time top speed. That was a 58 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: knock on him. But he can find and play the ball, 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: which is obviously the most important part of playing the 60 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: cornerback position. But he's played in that underneath trail technique 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: almost the entire year. He's got seven picks when you 62 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: chart him, four of them he's underneath just undercutting balls. 63 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: But one thing why he can play that is because 64 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: he's a real wide receiver at hard and so wide 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: receivers having natural tendency to accelerate when the ball is 66 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: in the air. So when you look at treyvon Dis, 67 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: he goes and gets the ball, unlike some defensive backs 68 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: to have a tough time judging it. Because of his 69 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: outstanding ball skills his receiver background, he's a playmaker. That's 70 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: also why he likes to play off instead of being 71 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: impressed and he's he's aggressive. Obviously there's risk taken and 72 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: we can put a real together as some of those 73 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: big plays he's given up. But that's proper team building. 74 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: When you have an offense that's gonna score a bunch 75 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: of points. It's like a college game. Just steal us 76 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: a couple of possessions and you're gonna win a lot 77 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: of ball games. So that aggressive approach works with his 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys team. And here's the thing, I don't know 79 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: that that should have been a pick. I thought that 80 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: was a pretty good ball by Mac Jones. Maybe could 81 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: have been a little bit on Born was out in 82 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: front a little bit. I think it maybe middle of 83 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: the field in that situation, like to see that ball 84 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more on the receiver. But man, that's 85 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: a tough one to put on mac Jones right there. 86 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: We'll get to mac jones rookie report card here in 87 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a moment. But for the Patriots, the thing that struck 88 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: me was they went absolutely the quiet after those two 89 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: first quarter touchdowns. They didn't score again until about six 90 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: minutes left in the fourth quarter, so they went about 91 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: forty minutes with nothing. In fact, in that time span, 92 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: they ran like twenty one place and you can't have 93 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: that type of quiet offense, not faithfully. Their defense bailed 94 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: them out when some of those turnovers, but they weren't 95 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: able to do anything with it. So here's the thing now, 96 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about the Patriots. While they were competitive, they 97 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: were competitive here in this game, had a chance to 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: win this game. That's a different conversation that I'm used 99 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: to hearing come out of a way. That's what I'm saying, right, 100 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: how do we kind of reconcile that years I feel 101 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: like we're getting some moral victories here for the page. 102 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: I don't remember when the Patriots get moral victories. This 103 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: is a team obviously with their success. I know they're 104 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: playing with a young quarterback, but they tried to use 105 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: that opportunity with the young quarterback on a rookie deal 106 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: to spend some money build out the rest of this 107 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: roster and Buck, let's be honest, if Houston doesn't have 108 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: the worst punt that we've ever seen with that what 109 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: they were trying to do, and that in five team 110 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: right now, if that's not the kid, well, I mean, 111 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: that's the thing that speaks to the talent or le 112 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: there of that is on this roster. Times, even though 113 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: they committed so much money to the off season in 114 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: the off season to the free agents, they haven't been 115 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: able to upgrade where they need to upgrade. And not 116 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: about the defense. The defense is fine, but offensively there's 117 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: kids are born Nelson Aguilar. There's no one that you 118 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: come into the game saying these guys scare me. So 119 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: they don't command double teams, it doesn't create opportunities for others. 120 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: And when you're not able to run the football like 121 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: they want to, it just makes it a very very 122 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: half court basketball. That's what you're playing. If you're mac 123 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: jus play halfware basketball in let's move on here in 124 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: the Big three. Let's get to our second game of 125 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: the day. Here on this move the Sticks Monday and 126 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: we'll go back to Cleveland. Had the two back to 127 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: back Heisman Trophy winning number one overall picks dueling at 128 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: quarterback with Baker Mayfield, the Browns Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. 129 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: But for both teams it was really more of a 130 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 1: headline of who wasn't there right, key players and coaches 131 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: missing from both sides. But he saw some turnovers in 132 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: this way, you saw Kyler Murray hit four touchdowns, Arizona 133 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: able to rise above the adversity in the thirty seven 134 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: to fourteen win here. Still the NFL is only unbeaten, 135 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: and I want to take this. We're gonna talk Kyler 136 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: Murray here to the second DJ but was talking to 137 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: James Palmer for the NFL Inside Report podcast and James 138 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: was telling us about how he had some inside on 139 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are really looking to get a little bit 140 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: more on to Kyler Murray from an ownership standpoint of 141 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: the team and on the offense. Then it felt like 142 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: it really paid off and they're starting to see that 143 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more without Cliff Kingsbury on the sideline, 144 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Murray still shine. He's dialed in. I mean he's playing 145 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: at a very high level. But I think when you 146 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: look at how this offense is built, it is they're 147 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna spread you from sideline to sideline and an arrow 148 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: where you see the Shanahan system with all these bunched formations. 149 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: They are going to spread you out and then you 150 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: want to blitz them. It makes it easier to identify 151 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: and to replace them. What I'm talking about is when 152 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: you see a blitzer, they throw right behind the blitzer book. 153 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: They have you spread out sideline to sideline, wherever the 154 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: pressure comes from, that's where the ball is going. And 155 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: now he's got guys that can make plays once the 156 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: balls in their hands. It was it was impressive to watch. 157 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: I saw this Brown's team in person. I know they've 158 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: got a lot of injuries, but that was a thrashing. 159 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: That's a talented Brown's team and Buck, you just want 160 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: to call attention. We had it on the bottom of 161 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: the screen there. Dude's gotta darn your perfect passer rating 162 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: against the blitz this season. I know, like stats aren't everything, 163 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: but that's something. Yeah, that is something. And when you 164 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: think about Kyler Murray, what he's doing is he's doing 165 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: what the Browns want to see from Baker Mayfield in 166 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: terms of being able to show them more responsibility. When 167 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: you don't have all the pieces around you in place. Look, 168 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: you don't have Nick Chubb, Kareem Hump goes out. You're 169 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: missing pieces on the offensive line. This is where you 170 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: want your franchise quarterback to make a reck, get the 171 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: ball out of hands, quicker, make some plays, find a 172 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: way to elevate the telling around and right now, it's 173 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: a continuing trend. We have not seen Baker Mayfield being 174 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: able to elevate the team when everything isn't right. And 175 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: so when you're the Browns, you're having an opportunity to 176 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: see this is what it could look like if we 177 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: pay him more than what he can deliver when it 178 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: comes to the production and the performance. Yeah, exactly Now, 179 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean things get even worse here for the Browns. 180 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: So just what do they do to kind of study 181 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: the ship? Here they sit three and three and they're 182 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: three days away from kicking off Week seven. It feels 183 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: weird saying, but this is such a big moment for them. 184 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: This Thursday game schedule starts to lighten up a little bit. 185 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: They can steal a win there at home on a 186 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: Thursday against a Denver team that's reeling. Come out there. 187 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: I know you're running backs are beat up, I know 188 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: you're missing some guys, but they should still be able 189 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: to control the line of scrimmage. So if they can 190 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage, play a clean game and 191 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: just find a win by themselves ten days of time 192 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: to kind of regroup and get refreshed, get some guys back, 193 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: they can go on a run here. When you look 194 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: at the schedule. But man, this is a huge Thursday 195 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: night game for the Browns. Well, and it kind of 196 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: goes back to like how we judge the talent that 197 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about with Cleveland with the results that we've 198 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: seen it, can we blame that all on injury or 199 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: there's some other issues that we need to point to here. Well, 200 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean, look, their injury list is long, and there 201 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: are premiere, premiere players on there. But when you go 202 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: when you look out there at that defense and you 203 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: see Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney, let's go, let's take over 204 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: the game. Let's dominate and they need to figure out 205 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: that secondary too, because there's the communication is terrible. I'm 206 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: convinced they're playing with ear plugs in the back end 207 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: because there's no communication. No communication, but ultimately it falls 208 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: at the feet of the quarterback at some point. You 209 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: want to see the quarterback kind of fixing when things 210 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: aren't right. When we think about Joe Burr, everything is 211 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: not perfect and Cincinnati, but the Beagles are finding a 212 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: way to get to the winner circle. Think about Justin Herbert. 213 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: At times it hasn't been perfect for the Charges, but 214 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: they find a way to get it done. And that's 215 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: what separates the good from the great quarterbacks in this league. 216 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: And so even though breaking Mayfield his nurse and an injury, 217 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: you want to see him be able to take more 218 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: ownership of this offense and help them get to where 219 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: they want to go. And that's not a hot take, Bucky. 220 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: You've been following that trend line now for weeks and 221 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: we've kind of content continued to see it all because 222 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: it's time to settle up on what are you gonna 223 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: pay him? Are you want to welcome him into the 224 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: forty million dollar club with Josh Allen and some of 225 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: those other guys, or are you gonna hold the line 226 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: and hold firm because if you pay him more then 227 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: you have to yeah, with with less exactly. Okay, so 228 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: let's continue here, Big three Game number three. Let's go 229 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: to the a f C West, where the Raiders had 230 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: plenty of reasons to pack it in on Sunday to 231 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: lose after what they went through this week with the 232 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: Grooden email scandal and subsequent resignation, But they did just 233 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: the opposite, coming together for a resounding win over at 234 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: divisional foe in Denver, Derek Carr unleashing the Raiders offense 235 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: once again to stop that two game losing streak with 236 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: the thirty four to twenty four win in a game 237 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: that did not feel nearly as close as that score 238 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: might suggest. And Bucky, what did you make of the 239 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: way the Raiders were really able to galvanize for a 240 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: crucial win at this juncture of the season. Look, man, 241 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: I think everyone in leadership did a really good job, 242 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: starting with Mike Mayock taking over the press conference immediately 243 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: after the resonation. He kind of set the tone for 244 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: how the team was going to proceed going forward. Then 245 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: versus Rosacci, had taken over special teams coach, and I'm 246 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: actually glad to see a special teams coach get an 247 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: opportunity to be a hit coach. No one has their 248 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: the pulse of the team like the special team's coach. 249 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: He not only works with all of the players office 250 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: in defense, but he delegates responsibilities to the coaches. Because 251 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: of that, I think he's perfectly suited to handle the 252 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: CEO responsibilities of being a head coach. And what I 253 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: thought you saw was a team that played a clean 254 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: football game because everyone was doing their job and he 255 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: wasn't overstepping his balance as head coach. And look, Pasancio 256 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: wasn't the only one that had a new role. Now. 257 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: While Greg Olsen might be the offensive coordinator, he wasn't 258 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: the play caller and hasn't been since he's been in 259 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: Vegas there with the Raiders with John Gruden, who was 260 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: called the plays since returning to the sideline there for 261 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: the Raiders, and everyone to a man was very complimentary 262 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: of the job that Greg Olson. No, it's not the 263 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: first time he's ever called plays, but it is the 264 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: first time that he's done it think since he was 265 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: with the Jaguars and Derek Carr was complimentary Henry Ruggs, 266 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake and we saw the deep ball again come 267 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: through fruition here for Derek Carr in the Raiders h 268 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: and look, this is the second best game of cars 269 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: career on the deep ball, second most deep passing yards 270 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: in his career in the next gen stats era, second 271 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: only to that game against the Chiefs. What they want 272 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: in k C and and the common thread there DJ 273 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: was Henry Ruggs. He's averaging a league best twenty two 274 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: point three yards per catch. You go back into that draft, 275 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: remember they had the pick of all those wide receivers 276 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: and Ceedee Lamb's played well, so they got some grief 277 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: for that early on. You know, we'll see Jerry Judy 278 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: wasn't in that game for the Denver Broncos. Could have 279 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: gone justin Jefferson. All those guys have played well, and 280 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: I think Rugs last year we're just trying to find himself. 281 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: Had a little injury early in the season. Now they're 282 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: starting to see that Tyreek Hill esque speed that he possesses. 283 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: And man, when you get a guy to take the 284 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: top off off the defense like he does, that opens 285 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: up everything else for everyone. Else. So to me, this 286 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: is it's been a it's been a good year to 287 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: look back on that draft and say, okay, we get it. 288 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: Way to work. For the Raiders, they're stopping that two 289 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: game losing streak, putting all the negativity aside, and finding 290 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: their fourth win of the season. Now what tied for 291 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: first place in the a f C West. Not bad 292 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: for the Raiders now. Meanwhile, for the Broncos, they have 293 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: followed up their three and oh start with a three 294 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: game losing skid. And one of the main reasons, Bucky, 295 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: that you went to Teddy Bridgewater as the quarterback here 296 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: is to take care of the football, and now he's 297 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: not doing that. So when we make of this qv situation, 298 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: now think he's not taking care of the football, because 299 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: this is a team that should have been governed and 300 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: led by their defense. And defensively they've been okay, not 301 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: what we thought they would be when you have Von 302 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: Miller and Bradley Chub, but offensively they should have been 303 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: a situation where Teddy Bridgewater is the game manager. Take 304 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: care of the football and make sure the office is 305 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: in the right situation. Play golf three or four times 306 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: a game, make a play and he's been unable to 307 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: do that. The numbers on the surface, Oh there's great 308 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: head of three your game four turnovers. We understand that 309 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: the biggest deciding factor in football is the turnover margin, 310 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: and when you have a negative four a minus four, 311 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: it is hard to win games. Teddy Bridgewater is contributed 312 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: to their wolves, and he has to play better for 313 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: this team to get back on track. Yeah. I know. Look, 314 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: it's we're coming up on what Halloween, then we've got Thanksgiving, 315 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: and then we've got Christmas. Talk to me this. I'm 316 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: kind of in an Easter theme here because I feel 317 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: like they're Devin Broncos are like the Atlanta Falcons. They 318 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: they've got good players. We look at Kyle Pitts and 319 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: Pats or Table. They are still hunting for that Easter 320 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: egg that contains a quarterback of the future. They do 321 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: not have that guy on campus. And so that's gonna 322 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: be interesting is we look forward in these draft classes 323 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: and right now, I know it's early, but doesn't look 324 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: like this is a great quarterback class. They don't have 325 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: their guy. They're hopeful the rest of their team was 326 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: gonna be so good that they could afford Eddie Bridgewater's 327 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: brand of football. But I don't think they're at that point. 328 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be at that point in 329 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: time soon. Right, So now you're like, all right, so 330 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: if Patrick Sirtan becomes the best cornerback in NFL history, 331 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: maybe you get away with this. But then you wonder, 332 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, like what could have been with Justin Fields 333 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: or Mac Jones. Who are two types of teams, those 334 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: that have their quarterback and those that are trying to 335 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: find them and they find themselves in the ladder group. Okay, 336 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: built is the game of the week between two four 337 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: and one teams, two of the best qbs in the league. 338 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: But it was Lamar Jackson and the Ravens making this 339 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: a one side of a fair thirty four to six 340 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: the final over the Chargers, taking advantage of l a's 341 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: last rank rush defense hight seven yards on the ground. 342 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: Bad time for Justin Herbert's worst game of the season 343 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: as well. So the team that was just three of 344 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: twelve on third down DJ just two hundred and eight 345 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: yards total for this high power Chargers offense. I just 346 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: felt like they were out of sink the whole way. 347 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: You were there. Obviously, let We're gonna get to the 348 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: Ravens run game here in just a second, but let's 349 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: start with what went wrong here for the Chargers. Yeah, 350 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I mean to me, this is all about their offense. 351 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you can We'll get to the run game later, 352 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: but the Chargers minus a couple of linebackers and a 353 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: defensive tackle and the Ravens running game. You could foresee 354 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: that happening with the Charges issues against the run, but 355 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: their offense. I was shocked that they were not more 356 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: productive in this game, and really justin Herbert was never 357 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: able to get into a rhythm. You see a pressure here. 358 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: I think there was a ton of pressure generated. There 359 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: was some overload blitz is that the Ravens brought that 360 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: gave him some trouble as this one right here, but 361 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: really just some misfires not on the same page. I 362 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: I didn't understand why he kept attacking Marlin Humphrey when 363 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: you look at this secondary Anthony Avert has had his 364 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: struggles and on key for third and fourth downs, the 365 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: ball was getting forced towards Marlon Humphrey side, which you 366 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: know was was a curious decision at that and he 367 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: wasn't on the same page as Mike Williams. Mike Williams 368 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: missed the whole week of practice nursing that knee injury, 369 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: and I thought they were a little out of rhythm. 370 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: But you know, look, make no excuses about it. The 371 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, after getting torched by the Indianapolis Colts the 372 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: week before, came out and played a really, really good 373 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: ball game. All right, Bucky, Let's get to the other 374 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: side of things here. For the Ravens. It was bad 375 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: match up on paper for the Chargers defense last ranks, 376 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, rush defense against this high powered Ravens rushing attack, 377 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: and it proved to be just that. How are the 378 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: how are the Ravens able to get it down on 379 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: the ground? You know, the Ravens. I will give John 380 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: Harbor and Greg Roman a ton of credit for being 381 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: stubborn in terms of their refusal to deviate away from 382 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: the way that they play. This has been an offense 383 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: that has been really ground based, a ground appal team 384 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: that runs a lot of Saturday Football concepts, read option 385 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: quarterback design, runs r P O s and those things, 386 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: and they have been very successful doing it. And in 387 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: spite of the noise that talks about this offense being 388 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: unable to get it done in the playoffs. They continue 389 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: to do this in the regular season, and because Lamar 390 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: Jackson commands so much attention, it really doesn't matter who 391 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: the running back is. Lamar Jackson is QB one, but 392 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: he's also RB one, and when he's RB one, he 393 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: allows the compliment to be running backs to also get 394 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: off by being able to control everything with the lighter hand. 395 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: One of the things we do on Thursday Night Football 396 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: when we're calling those games for for Amazon on that stream, 397 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: as we talked about unicorns and like, who are eyes 398 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: that you can't replicate in the NFL. Obviously Lamar Jackson's unicorn. 399 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: They have another unicorn on that offense. It's Patrick Ricard. 400 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: What he does is a three hundred pound fullback and 401 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: they were able to get him up to linebackers repeatedly. 402 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: A couple of times I got him up to Chris Harris, 403 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: who was playing safety in this ball game. You've got 404 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: a three hundred pound fullback oncom are working up to 405 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: the second and third levels, and he's really good in space. 406 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: He is a unique player for that offense. And how 407 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: about the three running backs that score touchdowns for the 408 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: Ravens on the ground here, none of which all of 409 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: the fantasy teams five years ago, Yes, exactly, they were 410 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: fantastic fantasy running backs five years ago. Levy on Bell, 411 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: Davonte Freeman, and uh Latavius Murray has banged up a 412 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: bit in this game. Here's a question though, for the Chargers. 413 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: Can they get the run game fixed on the defensive 414 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: side of the ball? Looked when you talk to him, 415 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: it's all about fit, right, It's all about making fits, 416 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: and so you're like, oh, they need another defensive linement 417 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: and they need this that it is a group effort 418 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: and playing the run in this defensive scheme. So when 419 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: one guy's out of whack, it doesn't work. The hope 420 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: is it's new it's his game six in this in 421 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: this system. Nope, as as you get later in the season, 422 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: they'll figure it out and get better back to you quickly. 423 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: Here for the Ravens prospects moving forward, does this feel 424 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: like a Ravens team now better suited for more playoff 425 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,239 Speaker 1: longevity based on what we've seen here these first six weeks. Well, 426 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar is throwing the ball really well, and 427 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: they've added Bateman, who was his first chance chance getting 428 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: out there did some good. So I like how they're 429 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: growing and evolving in the passing game. When I look 430 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: at their roster, though, Buck, I see some holes still 431 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: on that offensive line. I see some other holes out 432 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 1: there in the secondary. The Chargers did not exploit them 433 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: in this game, but those would be my two causes 434 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: for concern once they get into the playoffs. Well, like, 435 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: it's a narrow path for them to win. They have 436 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: to play a certain way. As much as we on 437 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: the outside will say, hey, they need to throw it, 438 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: they need to push it. Their offensive line is not 439 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: built to play that way. They're built to play going 440 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: forward and not going backwards, and so they have to 441 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: play from a hit. They need to play downhill with 442 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: the leaves, so then they can throw when they want 443 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: to throw instead of when they have to throw. But 444 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: it's a very dangerous team because Number eight can turn 445 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: it up and play the MVP level at any game 446 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: and in a one and done scenario. Look, man, it's 447 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: hard A been a gift that I'm with you on that, 448 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: especially when you get that run game rolling like they do. 449 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: They're in Baltimore. Sometimes you black out on I definitely 450 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: blacked up I looked up in the stands and then 451 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: from role. So I was a woman giving me a 452 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: double burden. I'm not sure exactly what came out on 453 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: my mountain neck. Well, there is technically stats some facts 454 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: to back up that ownership. As we kick off Elite 455 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: eight looking at some hashtag trending topics through this uh 456 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: six weeks of the NFL season that again revealed themselves 457 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: this week and Bucky, let's start with the man of 458 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: the hour at Soldier Field, which of course was Aaron Rodgers. 459 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers continues to own the Chicago Bears. Look, nothing 460 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: makes me happier being a former package in the Sea. 461 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: That ownership take place on the field, and he's done it. 462 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: And I think the one thing about Aaron Rodgers and 463 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: what he's being able to do. This started off ugly 464 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers early in the year. We 465 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: had all the offseason terminal. But when you watched this 466 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: team play, they're beginning to kind of find their stride. 467 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: It's still not necessarily what I call Super Bowl caliber, 468 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: but man, they're playing really good football. This in the 469 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: five and one. This is a good team. Yeah, Look, 470 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: he's he didn't say anything wasn't true. Look those numbers. 471 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. How how good he's been. I bet you 472 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: just about every team he's played pretty well against, but 473 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: the Bears especially. Uh. Look to me, there's certainties in life, 474 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: death taxes, rhet wearing jeans are a little too tight. 475 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: And then I would say, finally, it's Cooper Cup doing 476 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: his thing on a weekly basis, and him and Matthew 477 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: Stafford have found their way on the same page. And 478 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: this is another one where he goes nine for a 479 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: buck thirty and two touchdowns, especially down in the red area. 480 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: He just I don't want to say he's uncoverable, but man, 481 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: when you get when he has a two way go, 482 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: when he's lined up inside, as you see the no 483 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: looker here from Matthew Stafford, he's just an impossible cover. Man. 484 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what you're supposed to do. Again, 485 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: And he's too quick, he's too crafty. He is so crafty. 486 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: He's such a good route runner. Man. I just I 487 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: just love watching him play. He just finds a way 488 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: to get it done consistently weekend week everyone knows the 489 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: ball is going his way. And he said, I can't 490 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: stop what are you waiting for? You gonna jump in here? 491 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: So I was just in trance by watching. It's just like, wow, 492 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: I thought the pants have cut off your circulation. No no no, no, 493 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: no no no no, no, no no no. There are other 494 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: certainties in life like DJ's dad jokes and t Y 495 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: Hilton going off against the Houston Texans. T Y Hilton 496 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: first game of the season this year comes back in well, 497 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: bombs away for Carson Wins. Who you think he's targeting 498 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: against the Texans. Yeah, it's going to t Y t 499 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: Y for for eight D and this one. He now 500 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: has a full season's worth of work in his career 501 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: against the Texans. I should say, a full season's worth 502 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: of production, almost eighteen hundred yards and eleven touchdowns in 503 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: his career against the Texans. He like Texans as much 504 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: as Aaron Rodgers owned. It feels very similar. Yes, indeed, 505 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: all right, Bucky, I get getting back to you here, 506 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: what you got? Okay? So Tom Brady, Tom Brady and 507 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: we're kind of close in age, and I know what 508 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: it's like. So watching the Thursday night game with DJ, 509 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: I just kind of made an observation that, look, Tom 510 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Brady probably shouldn't play night games because he gets a 511 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: little sleepy in the middle of the game. And so 512 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: I felt like in that game he took a little 513 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: nap then woke up the fourth quarter because he's all 514 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: like I am, and he just kind of found himself. 515 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: And when you look at this offense, Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, 516 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: Gris Godwin, playoff Lenny, it's a while to find their 517 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: way the second and third quarter. So after he woke 518 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: up from his nap, he got it going. They finished 519 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: it off. And I'm looking at this Bucks team and man, 520 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: they're just kind of rounding in the form as a 521 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender, exactly what you play for a team 522 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: just coming off a Super Bowl win. I think the 523 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: way you described it, Buck was let back in your chair, 524 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of drool coming down, coming down the chin, 525 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: and like a potato chip on your chest and you 526 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: wake up and like, oh, it's still gone. I guess 527 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: I need to re and sert myself into the game. 528 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: That's what Tom Brady does. I'm gonna keep another trend going, 529 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: and that is I don't know if we ever really 530 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: talked about the Minnesota Vikings. They play sneaky entertaining games 531 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: each and every week, and Kirk Cousins has been a 532 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: really good closer for them, being able to finish out games. 533 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: Kirk's having a really good year. I feel like nobody's 534 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: really talking about them at all. Um every game they play, 535 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: it feels like it comes down to the very end. 536 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: He's protecting the football, He's making the opportunistic plays down 537 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: the field when they present themselves. You know he's he's 538 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: just quietly going about his business and playing at a 539 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: very high level. Vikings fans weren't low in that blood 540 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: pressure med meds to mean they are. They have absolutely 541 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: had some heart pounding finishes here. Just when you think 542 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: they're out, they come right back in here. No speak, 543 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: good watch. I encourage you watch the Vikings on us. Indeed, 544 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: I get to watch him on NFL Game Day Live 545 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: most Sundays in the early window, and they provide some 546 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: fireworks at the end of games for sure. Uh and 547 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: so does my man Jamaar Chase talking about fireworks. Wow. 548 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: The best deep ball wide receiver in football, not the 549 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: best rookie deep ball receiver, the best period more receptions, 550 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: receiving yards and touchdowns than anybody. They all leave the 551 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: NFL has had another couple here against the Lions. Oh 552 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: and remember that Penny Soul versus Jamar Chase debate for 553 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: the Bengals. We saw that kind of play out on 554 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: the field. I think Seul gave up a couple of 555 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: sacks to Trey Henderson and then you know, Jamar Chase 556 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: might have had more pancakes than Penny Soul in this 557 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: came too. Sorry that that's my back. I haven't watched 558 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: every single snap of Penny Soul, but I did see 559 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: that pancake block from Jamar Chase, as did the world. 560 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a heck of a player. Oh, he's 561 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: already a heck of a player. I mean, I didn't 562 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: know that he would be able to get deep as 563 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: often as he has, but he's been fantastic. Another guy 564 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: has been fantastic his teams to be How about t J. 565 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: Watt from the Pittsburgh Steelers. You watched the Sunday night 566 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: game and when they needed plays, the defensive Player of 567 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: the Year candidate t J. Watt delivered seven tackles. Two 568 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: sacks came up would have forced phone but to really 569 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: sealed the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it's the 570 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: effort and energy in the way that he's able to 571 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: get it doing so a team that we kind of 572 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: put out in the passion and said, oh, the Pittsburgh 573 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: still is not gonna be able to get it done. 574 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: They've climbed their way back to respectability of sitting at 575 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: five hundred and as long as t J and his 576 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: defense is able to step up and make plays, they're 577 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: going to be a tough out. Yeah. I think this 578 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: is like the opposite of Buyer's remorse. This is like 579 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: Buyer's celebration after give from that contract. The way he's played. Look, 580 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Patrick Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs. 581 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: This is a trend. They're going to be there at 582 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: the end of the year. Even though Patrick Mahomes has 583 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: had some turnovers, didn't start off well in this game 584 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: against Washington, they find their way into the Winter Circle 585 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: in this one, and you know they're going to be 586 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: there at the end of the year. This team is 587 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs every year since and they can kind 588 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: of go through their struggles, kind of find their way defensively, 589 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: figure some things out. They made a lineup change in 590 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: the secondary, but trust me, this is trending in the 591 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: direction it always trends. They're going to get into the tournament. 592 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: That's going to happen. Yeah, and how about a shutout 593 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: tone defense in the second half. I mean like that's 594 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: a major improvement as well for a lot of taking 595 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: a lot of tinkering and toying trying to figure out 596 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: how to make that thing work on defense. Okay, so 597 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: we don't have to hit the panic button on the 598 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes at the helm, but that is 599 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: what was trending around the NFL in your Elite eight 600 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: following your Week six Sunday. It's one of those segments 601 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: we give you each and every week here on your 602 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: Mood the Sticks Monday. Back with you now, Red, Louis Daniel, Jeremiah, 603 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. Time for our rookie report cards. Oh look 604 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: there's a Jaguars win. Come on, all right, lead us 605 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: off with Trevor Lawrence and his grade this week. Come on, 606 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, I'm giving a B plus. I'm giving B 607 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: plus because I'm a hard grade. I'm not just giving 608 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: away grades. I'm a plus because look, I loved his 609 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: game management ability and I loved his ability to execute 610 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: in the clutch situation. When you watched this game, this 611 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: game was teetering and balance, maybe because coaching wise, they 612 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily help him by put him in great situations 613 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: to close it out. But he did a great job. 614 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: Ran a two minuted real understood time score situation, did 615 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: a great job on what they called the lighter play 616 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: five seconds left to a quick little slant into Labiscos, 617 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, gave them an opportunity to kick a game 618 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: winning field goal. This is terrific for Trevor Lawrence to 619 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: see him make these plays when they needed and he 620 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: ended the twenty games. Helphense defense help him out on 621 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: that fourth and ade. Yeah, I did not understand what 622 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: they were doing defensively on that one. By the way, 623 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: it was a good play. I mean, you're gonna you're 624 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: gonna ge everybody free release and give my free at 625 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: yards kicked the game one. Well, I think I think 626 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: that the error is not annoying to rule where they 627 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: should have let him roll around so all the clock. 628 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: Don't touch him. Yeah, don't touch him that I thought. 629 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence made about six throws in this game. When 630 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: I watched, I was like whoa. Okay, these are real 631 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: big time throws. These are number one overall pick type 632 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: throws under pressure over under throws. I mean it was. 633 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: You could watch that game and you can dream on 634 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get with the Jacksonville Jaguars going forward. Look, 635 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: and I think for Trevor, this is going to this 636 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: season is going to test his mental capacity to deal 637 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: with adversity because he hasn't really dealt with it, but 638 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: all signs point towards him being absolutely mine in that category, 639 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: in addition to all the ridiculous physical traits that he's 640 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: already displayed. I'm gonna get you to mac Jones here, 641 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: ready for a nice grade. I already know what wrote 642 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: it that A minus. Mac Jones lost. Alright, I'm not 643 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: gonna give him an A and a loss. I've given 644 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: an A minus. I'm pretty sure, And in fact, we 645 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: could go to the tape on this maybe later. I 646 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: promise you have given him an A and a loss 647 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: this year They've lost four games, and you give it 648 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: every week. Every week is let's just worry about this week. Okay. 649 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: You see the first note, they're building the second story. 650 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing right now. In this Patriots offensive 651 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: construction story with with Mac Jones. They built the foundation 652 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: in the preseason. They dealt with the playbook. He mastered it. 653 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: The first couple of weeks they were kind of framing 654 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: out that first story, right, the short quick passing, he 655 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: was efficient getting the ball out of his hands. Now 656 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: they're moving into the second floor, that intermediate passing. He 657 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: has really started to excel at pushing the ball a 658 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: little bit further down the field. Now we're not seeing 659 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: those those true deep shots yet. We don't have the 660 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: roof on just yet here from Jones, but we're getting there. 661 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: And look, you're gonna have a little live by the sword, 662 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: died by the sword when you start having some of 663 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: those some of those deeper throws. Like we said that 664 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: the long touchdown and Kendinic Borne should have been picked 665 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: and maybe the Trayvon Diggs interception shouldn't have been So 666 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: you got some give and take there. But I think 667 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: we've seen some good with the bat. I've been really 668 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: impressed with Mac Jones. And to me, his eyes do 669 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: not drop under under heavy drest. His eyes do not drop. 670 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: I agree with your great I just like giving you 671 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: a hard time. No, he played really well he did. 672 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's get onto justin fields. Let's go justin fields. 673 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: I'll jump back in here. Justin fields to me was 674 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: a beat when you watch my thought. Was a solid 675 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: game for him. So I'm seeing growth. I'm seeing him 676 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: getting better as the season goes. Well, I know the 677 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: points aren't there, but I saw some creativity which I 678 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: had wanted to see using his athleticism. I saw some 679 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: explosive drive throws and a variety of throws. He threw 680 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: a layered ball down the left sideline. It was a 681 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: whole shot, but he did a nice job of getting 682 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: up and down. Um, the interception he has they jumped, 683 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't I'm watching the tape. How is that not 684 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: a penalty? They're clearly offside? So that whe that one 685 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: off with this ledger. But the negative was the bad 686 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: sacks towards the end of the game. You you gotta 687 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: get the ball. You can't take negative plays there. That's 688 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: something he's just gonna learn from it. He's gonna grow. Um, 689 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: But I am standing. We used to word trending today 690 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: he is trending in the right direction for the Bears. 691 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: Like to see that as well. What would you see 692 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: from what have you kind of felt about justin fields 693 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: so far this season and a few starts here, But no, 694 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: I think DJ hit a lot of good points. He 695 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: has grown, He's continued to evolve and become more comfortable 696 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: in the position. I want to see him continue to 697 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: utilize his athleticism, and as the coaches get comfortable with 698 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: this style quarterback, I want to see them help him out, 699 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: put him on the move. Changed this spot so the 700 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: launch point is not always right behind the center. This 701 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: offensive line is not a great one, so make sure 702 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: you're a little creative in your protection. Is to protect 703 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback. It's only four rookie quarterbacks this week getting 704 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: starts at Trey Lance, so I might have gotten to start. 705 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: But he's on a buy with a Zach Wilson gotta 706 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: buy as well. Let's get onto Davis Mills here with 707 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: the Texans, and look, this was a tough task in 708 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: Indianapolis against the Colts. Here, I think there's some good 709 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: with Davis Mills. The way you go blow a b whoa. 710 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: I thought about bumping him up to the B minus goodness. 711 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: The interceptions were not good. It's rare that you see 712 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback thrown interception where two defenders have a shot 713 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: at the pick before the receiver does. That was one, 714 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: So that was bad recognition, bad decision on that first interception. 715 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: The second one was just a poor throw. It was 716 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: inside and it was underthrown. Here you saw a couple 717 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: of these throws. He has some real, real impressive pocket 718 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: presence in sudden movement to get away from pressure, and 719 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: then the throws on the run. I was really impressed 720 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: with He got some real third down pressure in this game, 721 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: and it was actually pretty good. You're showing a lot 722 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: of D plus C minus plays for that C plus grade. 723 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying, you know, you're gonna have 724 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: to coordinate your tapes with your grades. I feel like 725 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,239 Speaker 1: the paper and the grade are not matching up here. 726 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: I think with the Texans we have the grade a 727 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 1: little bit on a curve for the quarterback here specifically, 728 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: there's clearly less talent on that team than the team 729 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: that they were playing here in the Colts. And that's 730 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: going to be the case unfortunately for that team for 731 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: much of and I have both signed up to take 732 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: his class. But yeah, yeah, different needs. One of those teachers, 733 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: don't think all right, let's go time now to kick 734 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: off our scout stories, because you're gonna look at your 735 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: top twelve picks in this past year's raft, So we 736 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: want to highlight the top twelve picks to kind of 737 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: see some of the value within these first twelve and 738 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: look at the value I think really nine twelve some 739 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: really good players outside of the top three, outside of 740 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Some teams did a nice job here, and 741 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: we're doing that to kind of focus in on the Dolphins, 742 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: who would have picked number three overall, that was the 743 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: pick they earned. They traded that to the forty niners, 744 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: moved down to number twelve, but then as you see here, 745 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: they moved back up from twelve to number six, giving 746 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: up next year's first rounder to the Eagles, And that's 747 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: really where we start to take issue with this whole thing. 748 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: And move back to twelve is fine, especially if you 749 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: decide you're good with the quarterback, but then it kind 750 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: of begin to worry about that move back up to 751 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: six and what it means moving forward. There was a 752 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,719 Speaker 1: lot of movement this year in that top twelve. Several 753 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: trades the Dolphins made two of them. Those are the 754 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: ones we're focusing on. Here because I think you can 755 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: make a case for all the other movement. It all 756 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: made sense, and I think even you mentioned it. From 757 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: the Dolphins standpoint for them moving back, I thought made players. 758 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: They could have gone three or twelve like a Parsons 759 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: Rashawn Slater up in there, really good football players there. 760 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: The question was, okay, you wanted to come back up 761 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: for a wide receiver at that point in time. I 762 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: don't know there's the value there. And Jalen Waddle is 763 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: playing well, He's gonna be a good football player. But 764 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: they could have stood where they were and got a 765 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: good pick and held onto all those Now the season 766 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: gets away from you. I think it's the number three 767 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: pick right now and next year's draft that will be 768 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: going to Philadelphia. So in essence, Philadelphia comes out of 769 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: it with Davante Smith and a top five pick, and 770 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: you come out of it with Jalen Waddle, Like that's 771 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: that's not gonna look good on them when you look 772 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: in hindsight here, Buck, if this is the way this 773 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: eventually goes, you can't make that move up there, in 774 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: part with the one for anything other than a premier position. 775 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: We're talking about quarterback, left tackle, pass, rusher, corner. Those 776 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: are the four positions outside that you can't make that move. Now, 777 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: you can't do that. And I've argued for a long 778 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: time about wide receivers and wide receivers in the first round, 779 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: but particularly in the top twen, you just can't do it. 780 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: It's just so hard unless they're a special player. We're 781 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: talking about the Julio Jones, a J Green, Larry fish 782 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: Gerald type, Calvin Johnson types. You talk about gold jacket 783 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: worthy players. And so when I think about the Miami 784 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: Dolphins and now what they're going to have to do 785 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: with the reset, you still have to figure out what 786 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: do you feel about to tell you about LA You 787 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: still have to figure out the rest of the piece 788 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: because the offensive line, now what you thought would be 789 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: your strength is not. And when I look at the team, 790 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: a team that many of us thought would be a 791 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: playoff contender, man, there's a lot of work to do 792 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: for this team to get back on track. And unlet's 793 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: take you somehow turn around and break the season. Man, 794 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really interesting officer. And I just 795 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: look at it and look, they have San Francisco's one 796 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: next year, so they do have a first round pick. 797 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: It's just not grown. And I look at if the 798 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: season and today where they're picking, you look at somebody 799 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: like a Thibodeaux from Oregon, and now you've got Jalen Phillips, 800 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: who's still trying to figure it out as a rookie. 801 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: But now you've got Jalen Phillips on one side, you've 802 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: got Thibodeau on the other side. I just watched George's 803 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: defense on the lane right home. Yes, said about five 804 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: dudes you can take from that front seven. But now 805 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: you can build your line of scrimmage. Once you have 806 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage build, then you can go get 807 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: all the toys with the skill positions. They aren't good 808 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: enough on the line of scrimmage to be able to 809 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: part with a top five pick for a wide out. 810 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: You just can't do that. And so they moved back 811 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 1: up from twelve to six, thinking, all right, for sure, 812 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks are going top three once we gave up 813 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: that three pick to the forty nine ers. So you're thinking, 814 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: all right, we're either going to get some combination of 815 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: pits or are the three those are the three guys. Yeah, 816 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: and they ended up getting one. It's not an indictment 817 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: on Wattle as a player. That's not what we're saying here. 818 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: But the value means that maybe you would have liked 819 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: to have had two first round picks next year to 820 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: further build up. And they've got some extra picks. I 821 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: think I have an extra one and twenty three as well, 822 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: so they've got more picks coming. Man, just an opportunity 823 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: cost to me, Man, you could have just sat right 824 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: where you were. Parsons Slater. They both look pretty good 825 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins right now. Yeah, all those guys, this 826 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: is important. They didn't have the crystal ball to see 827 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: how these guys would play. But that's one of the 828 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: things that we talk about picks versus players. You're trying 829 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: to speculate what someone could be at the next level 830 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: on this heard well, and look at you know, Candarius 831 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: Tony ends up being the fourth wide receiver, take and 832 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: good things, and he's done some good things that would 833 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: have been available there. So I'm not gonna say that 834 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle is not going to be a better player. 835 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: But again, it's just the value thing continues to be 836 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: expensively come back here with the Dolphins in those picks. 837 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: So Markey moments from your Week six Sunday, Hoping for 838 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: a few more here to close out Week six on 839 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: Monday night. We got the Bills and the Titans here, DJ, 840 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: we're you looking forward to in this matchup. I want 841 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: to see this Bill's defensive line and see what they do. 842 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: This defense has been revamped there playing outstanding football. We've 843 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: seen them get after the quarterback and rush the quarterback. 844 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a physicality test here against the 845 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. See Edmonds there at the middle linebacker position. Buck, 846 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: he can suck it up sideline to sideline. I want 847 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: to see other front plays in this one. Look, man, 848 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a tough test for the Buffalo 849 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: Bills because King Henry Gifts is against everybody, and even 850 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: though the Buffalo Bills have been playing great defense, it's 851 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: just a challenge. And because Tennessee Titans know what is 852 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: at stake. This has to be a game where he 853 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: gets it thirty five times on the ground. And if 854 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: he's getting it thirty or five times, it means there's 855 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of carnage in the way. You 856 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: need to tighten up your chin strap on. Yeah, it 857 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: is pants today that's what we're talking about. It's gonna 858 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 1: be that type of game really going back to fine. 859 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: But look, I'm with you on this front for the 860 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Uh. In fact, I'm so into the Buffalo 861 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: Bills front. I actually selected Gregory Rousse so into my 862 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: lineup in my individual defensive player Fantasy Football league. Yes, 863 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: the Indu defense. Uh. And look, hey, look, we talked 864 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: a lot about Dawson Knox last week as really emerging 865 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: as a nice answer to some of the things that 866 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: the Bill's offense is seeing with teams trying to take away. 867 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs has been so good this year, you know, 868 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 1: It's been one of the interesting kind of surprises for 869 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: the Bills this year was Zach Moss down in the 870 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: red zone especially, has really kind of emerged. They're They're 871 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: a very complete they really are. It was one of 872 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: those things that run game was one of those things 873 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: we really didn't see last year. Starting to see it 874 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: more for the Bills. Looking forward to that, Looking forward 875 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 1: to see you guys back here.
