We look at the world of 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: pro football and the game called life and now Move 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. What's up, everybody, DJ? 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: Bucky here, Moved the Sticks talking a little super Bowl here. 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: Not gonna be a long episode, So this is a 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: nice brief, to the point preview of Super Bowl fifty 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: one Falcons and the Patriots. What's going on? Buck? Not 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: too much, man, I'm really excited about this game. The 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: reason I'm so excited I think styles make fights, and 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: when you look at these two teams, two contrasting styles, 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: and so I'm I can't wait to see what the 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: coaches come up with. What do you think Pete Carroll's 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: role is this week? You think he's helping out his 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: little buddy here. Oh, I think he's helping out his 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: old buddy. I think Jim Schwitz me he's kind of 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: phone call it too. From Bill Belichian. Ah, there you go. 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: And why we're saying that again because both of those 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: guys engineer wins against the opponents, and so sometimes you 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: like to pick your brain and just kind of see 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: what they saw going into the game and coming out 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: of the game. And you gotta remember the connection there 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: between Dan Quinn having worked for Pete Carroll in Seattle. 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: So then you've got Pete here obviously very familiar with 28 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots from the Super Bowl as well as beating 29 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: them early, beat them earlier this year and in Week ten. 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: And then you go to the other side. Jim Schwartz 31 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: used to work with Bill Belichick back in the day, 32 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: so they have a relationship together, and the and the 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: Eagles went in and UH and beat the Falcons this year. 34 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: So it's interesting to see if they tap into all 35 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: those resources. I'm sure they will the uh. The offense 36 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: of the Falcons against the defense of the Patriots. What 37 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: do you expect to see? I think the first fifteen 38 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: are critical for the Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons have 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: scored on the opening drive in eight straight games. That 40 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: is unprecedented like that. No one has done this since 41 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: two thousand when they started keeping up with this stet. 42 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: They're a team they like to play from in front. 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: Their team that has led games in the fourth quarter 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: in seventeen of their eighteen games this year. So to 45 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: me is how do they come out the box Ken 46 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: cal Shanahan and his opening fifteen his first fifteen script. 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Find out what the Patriots are doing and then attack them. 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: I believe they have to use the running backs because 49 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: their biggest advantages they're running backs against the Patriots linebackers. 50 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: If they can spread them out, go empty, do some 51 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: things much like they did the Denver Broncos, they can 52 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: produce their explosive plays leaning on their running backs instead 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: of really worrying about their wide receivers. Interesting thing talking 54 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: to uh some coaches down there at the Senior Bowl 55 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: about this game, Buck, and one of the things that 56 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: they mentioned is they thought Alex mac would be a 57 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: key player in this game because one of the things 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: that New England does is they'll cover up the center 59 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: and they cannot get cannot get up to the second level, 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: so it kind of stunts the run game little. With 61 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: those linebackers flow free and they anything go on, they said, 62 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: with Alex maxibility to navigate through that and get around that, 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: get up to the sec and level. He said that 64 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: they thought he could be a real key player in 65 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: this game. I think he has to be a key player. 66 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: They need to be able to run the ball and 67 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: kind of dictate the turns. You would like to put 68 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: him in what I call mixed down situations, meaning if 69 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: you're on offense is second and five, meaning you have 70 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the ability to run it or pass it. They need 71 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: to stay away from those obvious passing downs because then 72 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: that's when New England can throw out all the tricks 73 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: to make sure they take care Julio Jones and some 74 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: of the other weapons, the thing that you have if 75 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: you're mayor run, you have everything at your disposal. Like 76 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: it's one of the few offenses that in the lineup 77 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: you can say, man, they have a speed guy into 78 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: the Gabriel. They have a big body guy in Mohamed Sanu. 79 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: They have the number one receiver Julio Jones, they have 80 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: multiple tight ends they can make plays, and two running backs. 81 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: He just really needs to stay within himself and continue 82 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: to play like the m v P that's distributed ball. 83 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Let those guys do work. If they do it, at 84 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: some point they'll find the favorable matchup and they will 85 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: get the big play that they want. Interesting talking to 86 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: a one defensive coordinator, so he thought the best to 87 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: play callers in the NFL were Scott Linahan and Kyle Shanahan. 88 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I can agree with the cal Shanahan is 89 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: a stone co killer the way he is able to 90 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: change um and tweak concepts to find that matchup. He 91 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: does it. They run the same concepts, triangle concepts, levels concepts, 92 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: but they'll get to it in a variety of different ways. 93 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: He also is masterful in terms of using bunch and 94 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: stack to kind of de divert the eyes of the defense. 95 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: UH crossers and guys coming and scattering it all over 96 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: the place. In evitly someone comes free. The big thing 97 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: in this game. The New England Pages are a team 98 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: that plays man to man between the twenties, but once 99 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: you get to the twining yard mark going in the 100 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: red zone, they fall back into an umbrella coverage either 101 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: cover to a Cover four. They force you to kind 102 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: of throw those Dincon ducts. And they used sideline and 103 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: the sideline and the end zone as three additional defenders, 104 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: and so you have to score touchdowns when you get 105 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: the opportunity. They also had a defense cording. They tell 106 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: me they defend the front of the end zone better 107 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: than anybody else. So if you notice they forced people 108 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: to try and throw post corners or try and hit 109 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: it right the good book where it's a low percentage throw. 110 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,119 Speaker 1: Matt Ryanan does, guys may need to think about taking 111 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: their shots right before they hit the red zone twenty 112 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: five yardline. Let's see if they can put it in 113 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: the zone, because if you come away with threes instead 114 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: of sevens, you can have a tough time being in 115 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Interesting thing though, is talking to UH 116 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: to one coach. He said, Kyle Shanahan exact words, Kyle 117 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: Shanahan is the smartest offensive mind in the NFL right now. 118 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: And I said, okay, that's saying something he goes, but 119 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: he gets a lot of attention. He said. Matt Patricia 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: is the smartest defensive mind in the NFL right now. 121 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: And I said okay. And they said, you know, just 122 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of from the inner workings of that building. They said, 123 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, Bill Belichick, it's all the credit for everything 124 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: that goes on there. He said. Anybody that's been around 125 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia said, he's like borderline genius with what he 126 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: does defensively. I mean, they do a great job. And 127 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: to think about what I will say about the Patriots 128 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: when I look at them on tape, what they do 129 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: is not complex. When I talk to defensive coordinators and coaches, 130 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: they look, man, they don't do anything in this complex. 131 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: They kind of call them to Utah Jazz of football. 132 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: You know exactly what they're gonna do. They're gonna line 133 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: up and play some too man, some uh cover one rat. 134 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: They if you have a guy that is a special guy, 135 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: they will always makes the play some bare front earlier 136 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: double team. They're gonna take away what you want to 137 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: do and they're gonna force you to kind of play 138 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: to your weakness. Uh. It sounds very simple, but few 139 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: teams are able to consistently find a way to make 140 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: you do that. The Patriots are able to do that. 141 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: The other thing that they do, they're not going to 142 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: beat themselves. You rarely see blown coverages, miscommunications. You rarely 143 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: see just people running scott free through zones and so 144 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times, and I learned this from Marty Schodammer, 145 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: more games are lost than one. So if you don't 146 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: beat yourself, you're gonna win more than your fair sharing games. 147 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: The Patriots aren't gonna beat themselves. Can the Atlanta Falcons 148 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: also not beat themselves because both teams when you look 149 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: at the giveaways, they they haven't turned the ball over 150 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: last years, So turnovers in this game the Super Bowl 151 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: would be critical. Who can take care of the football 152 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: and not give it to the other team. Let's flip 153 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: forward to the other side. Here we got the New 154 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: England offense again to the Atlanta defense. Would you expect 155 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: to see man? New England is a team is very 156 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: systematic in their approach. If they know that you're playing's 157 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: own coverage. You have a quarterback who was very patient, 158 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: who was very disciplined. He will take the check down 159 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and he will bet 160 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: that at some point you will get tired of him 161 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: throwing it underneath coverage. You won't necessarily rally and make 162 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: a tackle in one of their guys a pop um. 163 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons are a team that plays very similar 164 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: to the Seattle Shaks. Single house safety guy in the 165 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: middle of the field, Cover three or cover one, meaning 166 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: there a man deman can They're young guys cover Julian 167 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: Ellman and Chris Hogan, Danny Amadola and Martella S. Bennett. 168 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: That's what it had come down to. I believe athletically 169 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: and talent wise, they should be able to match up 170 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: pretty well. But can they get their hands on them? 171 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: Can they be physical and do it? And when I 172 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: talked to a buddy of mine at the defense courting 173 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: and he said, look, one or two approaches. You can't 174 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: go in there trying to do two things. If you're 175 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna play zone, you have to play with an aggressive mindset, 176 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: meaning I'm gonna let them catch, but we're gonna knock 177 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: the snot out of every on to do it. Or 178 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna play man to man and we're just gonna 179 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: line up and we're gonna take our shots to the 180 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: line of scrimtas we're gonna try and mug them into 181 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and see if they can hold up. 182 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: But you can't try and do both. You can't play pass. 183 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: It didn't say oh and be aggressive. Whatever you believe 184 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: you're going to do, you have to be fully committed 185 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: and stick to it, but you have to hit them. 186 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: If you don't hit them, they're gonna where you at 187 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: at some point. The problem with them is that they're 188 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: so they're so smart. You might have I think Atlanta 189 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: will have success against them on both sides early in 190 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: this game. I think New England's more situated to do 191 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: their damage in the second half once they've made their adjustments. 192 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: But I mean it's almost like the Giants when they 193 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: were playing against them, they almost like they scrapped their 194 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: whole game plan defensively at halftime, playing well, doing a 195 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: great job. That's fine, We'll switched everything up in the 196 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: second half of show them something completely different. Because if 197 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: you line up and play it, I just think this 198 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: team is a team that will figure you out, and 199 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: they will. They'll get you. They will figure out you 200 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 1: have to have some tricks. The thing about Atlanta and 201 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: even Seattle, they don't have a lot of tricks. Now, 202 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: if you look back to the game against Seattle on 203 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I mean the Patriots got dominated for 204 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: the first three quarters. That dominated for the first quarter 205 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: and Tom had two interceptions in that Super Bowl. Um 206 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: will he continue to rely the thing to hurt the 207 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: Seattle Sehaks a little bit? They got banged up in 208 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: the back end let's see if the Falcon secondary can 209 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: continue to hold on the huge piece that is missing 210 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, and his absence has not been a factor 211 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: to this point. But when you get in this game 212 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: where talent is paramount, I still have to believe at 213 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: some point when you don't have a true number one guy, 214 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: guy that can truly command the double team, it's hard. 215 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: It's hard, and so you're putting a lot on Tom Brady. 216 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: And if Tom Brady is on his game, he's on 217 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: his game and makes it tough. But the other thing 218 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: that I was pointed to, they said, with the Patriots 219 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, you have to defend numbers. The numbers. 220 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't like to push the ball to the boundary. 221 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: He wants to throw the ball inside. He's throwing the spot. 222 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: So if you play his own, you're playing to his 223 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: You're really kind of playing into his hands because he 224 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: wants to let the ball go before you even can break. 225 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: You have to play man to man, and you have 226 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: to put a couple of guys in the middle of 227 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: the and make him have to work around those layers. 228 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: Tom is seeing everything, it won't be new to him, 229 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: but you have to see if the thirty nine. Your 230 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: quarterback is on his game against tight coverage. An interesting 231 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: thing when you go back and look at that game 232 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: against Seattle on the Super Bowl, they had a couple 233 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: of different guys that could get home up front. Michael 234 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: Bennett was the best player on that day. Vic Beasley 235 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: has to have a big game, but I just don't 236 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: know who's gonna supplement him. Who's the other guys, Jared, 237 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: who's gonna be kend wife Freeny pull out a classic 238 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: game like digging, digging a bag of tricks and throw 239 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: pull out one of those throwback games. Uh, can babao 240 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: someone else up front? Find a way to get it. 241 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: I think Rachid Haguman could be a guy that you 242 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: have to talk about because we talked about I mean, 243 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: we've seen the Houston Texans have success having pressure right 244 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, right up to a gap. 245 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: Someone has to be able to get in Tom Brady's 246 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: face to get him off his spot, because if he's 247 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: able to throw from the grassy, no, he's gonna pick 248 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: everybody apart. The other thing that I look at here 249 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: in this game too is just New England. To me, 250 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if they came out and 251 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: went heavy personnel and just tried to run the ball 252 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: down their throats. I think that's how you have to 253 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: attack it. If I'm the New England Patriots, I think 254 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: that's the number one game plan. That's how we come out. 255 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: We come out trying to make this a power football game. 256 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: Two and three tight ends, big back in Lagary Blunt. 257 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: Lagary Blunt is on tap, a big boy. We're trying 258 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: to get five carries. Let's see if we can grind 259 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: it out, keep the score down, because I don't believe 260 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: that the Patriots want to get into a shootout the Falcons. 261 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: They wanted to be a game that is under control, 262 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: that they can kind of drain the clock and play 263 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: what I call Wisconsin basketball on rest, milk it out, 264 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of grinded. I don't know if they necessarily want 265 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: time Brady to be front and sending his game plan 266 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: having to throw th times. Are you know what do 267 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: you got back there? In the six Brady Belichick Super Bowls, 268 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots have never scored in the first quarter. Wowow. 269 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: But that plays into my thing about they're gonna kind 270 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: of feel you out and see what you're doing and 271 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: they eventually they figure it out. They're gonna jab um. 272 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: All right, Bucky, we I told you this is gonna 273 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: be a quick one here. But let's go underrated. Who's 274 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: the most underrated player to keep an eye on in 275 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: this game? Taylor Gray Gabriel for the nice the reason 276 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: he's underrated because when you look at these matchups, you 277 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: know Logan Ryan has to take care of Mohammedan new 278 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: or Julio generals Malcolm, but go to the other guy. 279 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: Can the third player hold up on Taylor Gabriel? And 280 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: when Taylor Gabriel goes on the field, he's going on 281 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: the field with one thing in mind. He's the shot guy. 282 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: He's the big play player. They take shots over the 283 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: top to him. He has six touchdowns, I want to say, 284 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: he only had like thirty five or so receptions. Can 285 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: you find a way to neutralize him because he is 286 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: the guy that when they put him on the field, 287 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: they put him on the field to give him the ball, 288 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: and when he gets the ball, he makes big things happen. 289 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: All right, There's no justification for this other than just 290 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: a feeling. On this one. Chris Long has just kind 291 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: of blended into the scenery pretty much this year in 292 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: New England. You know, took a lot less money to 293 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: go there and just chasing the ring and just remember 294 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: evaluating him in college and I've seen him throughout his career. 295 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: This is his one chance on this stage after a long, 296 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: long career. You've talked about Dwight Freeney, Chris Long finds 297 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: a way to make a play in this game. Workman 298 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: like approach, blue collar, hard headed guy coming off the edge. 299 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: They will need to get pressure on Matt Ryan. The 300 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: one thing that I wonder about the Patris when you 301 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: sell out and you have to get pressure on them, 302 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: that means you have one less guy in coverage. Do 303 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: they have the bodies that can match up with all 304 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: those skill guys? Do they have enough bodies where they 305 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: can match up play man and still keep people over 306 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: the top to protect what they need to protect in 307 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: the back end while still coming after Matt Ryan. This 308 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: offense will be the biggest challenge I think for the Patriots. 309 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: If they do what they normally done in these games. 310 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: They normally beat you up at the line of scrimmage. 311 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: That means they're gonna put two men, They're gonna hammer 312 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: the guys at the line of scrimpers. They're gonna hit 313 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: the backs whenever they leave the backfield, and they're gonna 314 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: have to make it a messy game and see if 315 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: the referees will call it. Chris Long can have a 316 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: big game. But I just wonder, man, who is going 317 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: to come out of coverage. It's gonna come out of 318 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: coverage and leave them in one on one situations. All right, Uh, 319 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: we'll go pick pick the score winner and m v 320 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: PEN Like I'm gonna go to Atlanta Falcons, I'm gone, Uh, 321 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: m VP would be Matt Ryan because for them to win, 322 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: I think he's going to have to lead one of 323 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: those Maddie Ice game winning drives in the last two minutes. 324 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go Patriots, and I think it 325 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: is a comeback type of a win. And I will 326 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: say Tom Brady will be the m v P. And 327 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: if if the Falcons, I'll say this, if the Falcons 328 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: end up winning this game, the m v P will 329 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: be Mohammed Sanu and Mohamed Sanu will have like a 330 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards hundred and fifty if they're gonna win. 331 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: Are what I'm saying. I because I picked the hundreds. 332 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: Mohamed Sanu will go off if the if they're not 333 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: gonna let Julio Jones, So so Logan Ryan's most likely 334 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: going to cover Sanon and they were college teammates and Rutgers, 335 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: so that'll be a definitely an interesting statchup because so 336 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: you think you think Logan Ryan is gonna cover, Yeah, 337 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: because you don't think they're gonna put you can put 338 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: a little Malcolm Butler. So no, they're unless they're gonna 339 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: put Eric Row on Julio Jones with McCardy over the top, 340 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: double him, take him away, and then they're gonna put 341 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: Butler on Gabriel. He's got the game plan back there 342 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: and you're over they digging nervous. That's what I'm saying 343 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: that that's my that's my prediction. I think the Patriots Gabriel. 344 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: That's an interesting one because that would go to the 345 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: fact that they recognized that he's a dude. Yeah he's 346 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: he's he's a big factor because he's a big play weapon. Alright, 347 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: buck Eric Row, Eric Row getting big duty. Huh Yeah, 348 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: I like Eric I don't get it. I was gonna 349 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: say he better make sure come up find out work 350 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: every time Hey, Devin, he needs I don't know, backup, 351 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: he needs a dog whistle dog record to make sure 352 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: that he's always where he needs to be.
