And now ready to 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: kind of dig into some of these things here with you. Yeah, no, look, 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: it's a good birthday present to have some good games 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: to discuss, and we can jump right in here with 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: the big three. Let's start off. Let's start off Kansas City, Uh, Cincinnati. 23 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: This is a matchup that Cincinnati is just kind of 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: have handled the Kansas City Chiefs. Something we don't say 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: about and Andy Reid, Yeah, I know, tune in a can. 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: That's that's no big deal. Let's say it's great. Uh, 27 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: J mar Chase, it's a great line. Um. Look when 28 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: I when I went back and watch this game again, 29 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: I don't see it live, so I dig in and 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: watch the tape, and I wanted to watch Joe Burrow 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: and just see what he did. And you know what, 32 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: First of all, the thing that jumped out to me 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: threw out of more clean pockets than I remember. Um, 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: the offensive line is getting better. They're playing better. And 35 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: then Joe is just playing with outstanding command and poise, 36 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: his ability to just be comfortable, get your feet in 37 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: the ground, trust your eyes, throw with anticipation. Um, he 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: was just in total control of this football game. From 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: what I watched. The opportune times to take off and 40 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: use his legs he did that as well. The game 41 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: looked really slow for him watching that tape, right. Yeah, 42 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: And I love seeing him in these situations, right and 43 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: gage like he is just such a red light player, right, 44 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: like such a big game player, Like the spotlight shines 45 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: the brightest and he shows up the biggest. And you know, 46 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: getting Jamaar Chase back, I was actually kind of curious. 47 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: So I was like, would they get a little over 48 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: infatuated with trying to get him back into the lineup, 49 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: Whereas you know, they were perfect in the month of 50 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: November without him utilizing the run game a little bit 51 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: and you saw some more T Higgins and Tyler Boyd 52 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I wanted to look at 53 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: DJ was the run game, because what's one thing that 54 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: you have to what is the thing that you have 55 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: to neutralize when you're trying to be successful in the 56 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: run against the Kansas City Chiefs. What's Chris Jones right 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: up front? And they did a lot of different things 58 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: to try to get around Chris Jones and to try 59 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: to minimize his impact on this game. Uh And I 60 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: mean like they trapped him with the tight end, they 61 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: were double team in him a bunch. There was some 62 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: they even did some draw plays to kind of neutralize 63 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: his aggressiveness up the field. They held him a little bit, 64 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: they ran away on them a lot, like, did a 65 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: lot of different things to try to keep Chris Jones 66 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: from wrecking the football game. And here's the thing about 67 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: some j P. Ryan, who has subed in quite nicely 68 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: for Joe Mixon while he's been out. Like some running 69 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: backs run to daylight, right, some running backs trying to 70 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: find the open space, he runs to destroy. And he 71 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: is a physical player and I think Justin Reid might 72 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: have found that out quite personally in this game on 73 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: on one of those stiff arms and run support. So 74 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with the way that the Bengals 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: have been running the football. That interior trio uh Wolson 76 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: Harris at center and Alex Cappa, I thought did a 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: really nice job trying to neutralize Chris Jones. Yeah, and look, 78 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm not overly concerned with the Kansas City Chiefs on 79 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: this one. They lose a three point game against a 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: really good team at the Cincinnati Bengals, but I am. 81 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: I am feeling like they're losing a little bit of 82 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: that aura of that invincibility that you had within the conference. 83 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: And I think when you look at Joe Burrow in 84 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. You look at Josh Allen with the 85 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and the teams you're gonna have to get 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: through to get to a super Bowl, and I think 87 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: there was kind of a fear factor, and I look, 88 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is a big part of that. You know, 89 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: when you had him in this offense, there's a fear factor. 90 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: I know, people can throw out all the stats and 91 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: they're they're leading the league in every statistical category. Patrick 92 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: Mahomes on his way to be an m v P. 93 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: They don't miss Tyreek Hill. But I feel like in 94 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: games like this and these big games, that was a 95 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: big moment, big game element to their offense that you 96 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: don't have there with Tyreek Hill. So I think everybody 97 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: kind of just dismissed that. You know that they're winning 98 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of games and they have a bunch of stats, 99 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: but I think when you get against the best teams, 100 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: the teams you're going to play on the road to 101 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, that that's a that's a void absolutely 102 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: avoid for that team. Yeah, but I mean they had 103 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: him last year in those matchups, it's still lost. So 104 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: I mean I understand your point. Well, no, that what 105 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that makes me, wonder where that gap goes. Where does 106 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: that gap go going forward? Then you know, exactly does 107 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: it get bigger? Um? You know, and does the margin 108 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: I think the margin for error gets smaller, right, I 109 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: think that's part of this thing too. And like this 110 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: was a close game. This is a game UM that 111 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: I think the Bengals really dominated in the fourth quarter. UM. 112 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: And and they kind of proved that they're one of 113 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: those teams that can close games out. UM. And that's 114 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: usually that final fifteen minutes is usually where Patrick Mahomes 115 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, is at his best, and you know he's 116 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: kind of pedestrian day, you know, just two U or 117 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: twenty three yards passing UM. You know. They I think 118 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: the extra five minutes a time of possession for the Bengals, 119 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: while maybe not statistically, you know, extremely significant, pays off 120 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: in a game like this with the Chiefs if you 121 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: can minimize their possessions. The only ran fifty four plays. 122 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: So UM, I think the Bengals did all the right 123 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: things in this one. Deach. Yeah, No, it's uh. It's 124 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: a Cincinnati Bengals team that's getting hot at the right 125 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: time and playing their besttball. So big win for them 126 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: over the Kansas City Chiefs. Let's get to another huge 127 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: matchup here. This was an a f C NFC class 128 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: between two head coaches very familiar with one another. Uh 129 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: that's some Miami Dolphins and two A talkobla. They go 130 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: on the road, take on a very tough San Francisco team, 131 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: and the score as you see it on the bottom there, 132 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: thirty three to seventeen. I don't think it's indicative of 133 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: the game. I went back and I wanted to watch it. 134 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: From Toa's standpoint, I really want to dig in and 135 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: study him because you know, you're following, you're watching a 136 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: game live, you're calling a game, you keep an eye 137 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: on social media. And it was like, oh man, two 138 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: was having a terrible ball game, um, and they're really 139 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: getting exposed against this great forty Niners team. Then I 140 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: watched the tape reet it's twenty three to seventeen. There 141 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: on the other side of the fifty was six minutes 142 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: left with a chance to go down and win this 143 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: ball game. Then it gets away. You have a turn 144 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: over late. But you know when I studied that game 145 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: from two is since he missed a couple throws, um. 146 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: But they also got some big chunk plays down the field. 147 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: I thought the difference in the game, the reason why 148 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: they were able to slow down this Miami Dolphins attack 149 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: really was the second level. I mean, I know you'll 150 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: get to Bosa in their pass rush, but I thought 151 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: the depth of the linebackers, led by Fred Warner, he 152 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: was able to get underneath and disrupt so many of 153 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: those crossers that they live on in this offense. Their linebackers, 154 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: all of them getting depth. I thought they probably have 155 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: adjusted and taking some shallow crosses, taking some of those 156 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: underneath throws, but the intermediate stuff they eliminated. They eliminated 157 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: those intermediate throws in this ball game. And you know 158 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: you you'd like to see two of probably trying to 159 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: hang onto that ball just a little bit longer to 160 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: wait for some of that stuff to pop on that 161 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: second level. But he couldn't. I mean, Nick Bosa is 162 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: in his face. I mean generated seven pressures in this game, 163 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: three sacks. I mean, I look at the different ways 164 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: that they tried to neutralize Nick Bosa. I mean they 165 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: got one of those times where the tight end chip 166 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: actually backfires. You get the Dolphins tight end early in 167 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the game trying to chip him. He does like this 168 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: spin move, ends up in the a gap all alone 169 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: and has a free shot on two and Togo Vyloa 170 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: and and really I mean put a big lick on him. Uh. 171 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: And then he had a couple of times where the 172 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: running back tries to come in and cut him down. 173 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: He's just so athletic he can put his hands down, 174 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: kind of get by that cut block, jump over, and 175 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: continue to accelerate to the quarterback. You know, I think 176 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: back to what Mike McDaniel was saying talking about this 177 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: game and talking about the effect that Joey Bosa or 178 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa can have on it, and he's like he 179 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: just he lives. He eats, and he breathes pass rushing. 180 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Like if he sees like a stop sign that he's 181 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: walking by, like he'll do a pass a rushing move 182 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: on at first there's a hand sanitizer station, like he'll 183 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: do a pass rush move against it, like just always 184 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: on his mind. He's like the Parkour pass rusher um. 185 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: And so you really saw that in this game. And 186 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: there's so many different ways in which the Dolphins tried 187 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: to affect him and to take him and to give 188 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: two of that extra beat to get the ball out 189 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: and he just finds ways around it. Just such a 190 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: dynamically athletic and explosive guy getting after the passer. And 191 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: those three sacks, um you know, I mean that could 192 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: have been a couple more too. And then look, it's 193 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: tough for the Dolphins when you're down. You know your 194 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: your top two tackles in Austin Jackson and uh In 195 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: Toronto Armstead. But you know that's a tough one. That 196 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: is a tough, tall task And I think that's exactly 197 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: how Mike McDaniel put it after the game, trying to 198 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: slow down uh Nick Bosa and as you know, seeing Joey, 199 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, those dudes are closers and Mayken wreck games. Yeah, 200 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: and there's three types of game plans. There's good game plans, 201 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: there's bad game plans, and then there's asking tight ends 202 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: and backs to block Nick Bosa. That's like a whole 203 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: another level of a bad let's not let's not do that. 204 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: He's got fourteen and a half sacks right now to 205 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: lead the national football Like now, the big story coming 206 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: out of this one, Reht was the quarterback on the 207 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: other side. Unfortunately, Jim Mcgaroppolos will be lost for the year. 208 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: Brock Purty goes into this ball game. I know you've 209 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: got a chance to to see him at an All 210 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: Star game. I know you have a chance to look 211 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: at him in this ball game. Is Brock Purty in 212 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: your opinion you feel comfortable with him going forward? Or 213 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: the fact that Baker Mayfield just got released a few 214 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago from the Carolina Panthers, does that 215 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: become a better option here for the forty Niners. Okay, 216 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: So I think there's a couple of points to that 217 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: discussion here. Let's just start with Purty, uh, you know, 218 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: and I'll get to a couple of plays of him 219 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: here just a second. And here's the thing. We did 220 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: see him at the Shrine. Bold, Bucky and I were 221 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: there all week, watched him in practice, talk to the 222 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: NFL coaches about him. And I went back and looked 223 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: at my my spotter chart and what I wrote down 224 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: on what the coaches were telling me about Purty from 225 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: that week, and they're like, great leader, terrific command of 226 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: the offense in a short period of time, understands defenses, 227 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: knows where pressure is coming from, and is able to 228 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: deliver the ball accurately and He was such a big 229 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: part of that Iowa State kind of renaissance under Matt Campbell, 230 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: such a productive college quarterback there at Iowa State, and 231 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 1: you can see why and some of those things that 232 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: those NFL coaches were telling us at the Shrine Bowl, 233 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: you saw in this game in a really tough spot 234 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: for a rookie. So this is the dude. I just 235 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: feel like has a lot of work to do because 236 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: early on it wasn't pretty and he took some time 237 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: to settle into this game. And I know things are 238 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: different for backup quarterbacks when you know, as opposed to 239 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: coming in and filling in for an injured starter and 240 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: then to have go out there and be the full 241 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: time starter, things can be a little bit different. I 242 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: get that, but I think there's a lot to build 243 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: on from brock Purty here. And there's a reason that 244 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners were comfortable with him being 245 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: QB two when Trey Lance went down and didn't go 246 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: out and get somebody else. This wasn't the first time 247 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: we've seen him. He's had a couple of snaps here 248 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: and there. He was Mr. Irrelevant in the draft um 249 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: but has proven to be quite relevant here for the 250 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: forty Niners, and I was just really impressed in some 251 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: big spots, some of the throws that he made. He 252 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: can get out, He's athletic enough to do what they 253 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: want to do offensively, move in the pocket, some of 254 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: that boot action and stuff. So I was really impressed 255 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: with what Rock Party showed us there. Yeah, I'll be 256 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I was surprised at how well he played. 257 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: I went back and looked through my notes as well. 258 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: You know, coming to the draft process, you mentioned Mr Relevant. Look, 259 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: he's he's under six six oh five two and or 260 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: twelve pounds. He ran four eight four. He's not super 261 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: super athletic. He did start forty seven games there at 262 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Iowa State, played a lot of football last year, seventy 263 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: nineteen touchdowns, eight picks. Um. I thought he held the 264 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: ball a little bit too long. I questioned his vision. 265 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: I just thought overall his tool kit, he was just 266 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: very average in terms of the tools that he possessed. 267 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: I remember when they bench Matt Ryan in Indianapolis and 268 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: it was Sam Ellinger and it was kind of young 269 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: and it was different, right, and we're gonna try this 270 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: thing out. I just have a film we'll see with 271 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: brock Purty. But I have a feeling kind of the 272 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: more you see here, the longer he plays, you know, 273 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: I think you'll see a little bit more of who 274 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: he is. And I don't know if that's gonna be 275 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: a player that can voice a trophy here for a 276 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: team that's ready to win a championship. So if I'm 277 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: looking at it right now and I'm looking at the 278 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to go get a Baker Mayfield, who's been someone 279 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: who's played well in this league and number one overall pick, 280 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: I think talent wise, he's on another level, uh than 281 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: brock Purty. Now it hasn't worked on Carolina, Yes, I 282 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: think I just think that's you know, put him around 283 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: that with the pieces you have in placed there. I 284 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: think that makes more sense. And I people will think 285 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: I'm crazy. I would at least kick the tires on 286 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. I'd call him see if he'd be interested 287 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: all uh in coming back and doing it, because I 288 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: think this team, if you just make good decisions, get 289 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: the ball where it's supposed to go. Oh yeah, I 290 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: would still I would still call him up. I know 291 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: I'll get I'll get heat for that at oh, he's 292 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: been out of the league for almost two years. The 293 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: last I saw him, he played, he was playing winning football. 294 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: His skills had deteriorated, but he was. Look where the 295 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: Colts went after him and what that looked like after 296 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: he left. So it's an upgrade, that's all I'm saying. 297 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: And a Baker Mayfield, Philip, I don't think their quarterback 298 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: is on the roster right now that they'll trot out 299 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I'll just put it that way. Yeah, 300 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: but you know, how long does it take to get 301 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: up to speed? I mean that we're talking about week thirteen, 302 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, and you're getting down to it here. If 303 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: you're the forty niners, they did uh, I think they 304 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: went and got Josh Johnson, who might have already played 305 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: for the forty Niners three different times in his career. 306 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: So I think you've got a guy, You've got a 307 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: veteran presence there to at least back up rock party 308 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: in the near term. But I wouldn't mind them looking 309 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: at another veteran option, a guy that's had a lot 310 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: of starting experience like Baker Mayfield there. Yes, shoot, why 311 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: not give Philip Rivers a call? I mean I don't 312 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: know if you want to see him running around, you 313 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: know on some of those uh some of the way 314 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: they use that play action out there in San Francisco. 315 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: But you can sit back there and sling it around 316 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. Just one more thing on Purty. You know, 317 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: I was watching there was a four there was another 318 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: third down play and I just like I wrote when 319 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: I was watching it, no guts, no glory, Like this 320 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: dude is not afraid of anything. Like he absolutely, I 321 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: mean fired a ten yards about a spot route from 322 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, super tight coverage, tight window throw like he 323 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: is not afraid to let it rip and give his 324 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: guys a chance to go make a play on it. 325 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: So I think that I think Kyle Shanahan really likes 326 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: what he sees in pretty now. Long term, that's obviously 327 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: the question here. Long term for this season. I mean, yeah, 328 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: I know Matt Campbell wishes he probably still had him 329 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: as well as Briest Hall Iowa state team this year. 330 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: One quick thing on these on this game before we 331 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: move on. Last thing. The Miami Dolphins have just signed 332 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: Eric Fisher again, a former number one overall pick spent 333 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: the majority of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs 334 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: trying to help out their tackle situation. So interesting move there. Alright, 335 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: one more game here, let's get to it. The final 336 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: of the Big Three. That is Tennessee in Philadelphia in 337 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: a in an A. J. Brown revenge game? Is that 338 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: what we're calling it. It It was a butt kicking, is 339 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: what it was. But your take on that one, rit, Yeah, 340 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, A J. Brown's on a on a 341 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: different level. And you know, I think when you look 342 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: at the Tennessee Titans and understand that coming into this game, 343 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: Robert Woods was their leading receiver, which is great, except 344 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: when you find out that his reception total and yardage 345 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: total is the lowest of any team's leading receiver. Now, 346 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: part of that is a product of how the Titans 347 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: want to run their offense through Derrick Henry. I get that, um, 348 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: but you just you can't look at that team and 349 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: be like, man, there is a place for a J. 350 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: Brown here, right, I mean, like that's when this offense 351 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: is clicking. When teams have to respect what number eleven 352 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: in green does uh for the Eagles now and what 353 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: he was doing for the Titans in the early part 354 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: of his career. But I understand the financial component of it. 355 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: And so when you look at it from that perspective, 356 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: trail and Burke's who has missed some time this year. 357 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: I think he's only played eight games, but the last 358 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: three games for the best three games he's played this year, 359 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: so he was really starting to come on. I look 360 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: back at his two games coming into this one, he 361 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: had eleven catches, six of those go for first downs. 362 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: UM and and then in this game he only played 363 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: seven snaps, had the unfortunate head injury that they're dealing 364 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: with now. But on that one catch he had was beautiful, 365 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: Like that's where he should live, Like in the slot 366 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: running one of those benders, big physical presence, takes the hit, 367 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: hangs onto the football. Unfortunately has to leave the game 368 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: after that. But man, I'm I'm excited about what Trailing 369 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: Burkes can do this. I mean, they're starting to use 370 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: him a bunch in the motion game like we saw 371 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: at Arkansas. UM. I think there's a lot to like there, 372 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: but it's just it pales in comparison right now to 373 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: what a J. Brown can give you. And you know, 374 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: look back at at the trade in totality DJ, they 375 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: traded eighteen and one oh one to the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh, 376 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: or rather they traded A. J. Brown for eighteen and 377 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: one on one one on one they ended up packaging 378 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: in that Jermaine Johnson deal that the Jets traded back 379 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: up into the first round to get, and so they 380 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: ended up with three additional players. Can't give him credit 381 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: for all those players, right because it was only one 382 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: pick from the A. J. Brown trade, But they ended 383 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: up with Roger McCreary, Nicholas Petit Frere, and Kyle Phillips. 384 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: McCreary and Chief Fair played a ton for him this 385 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: year's rookies. So I mean, like it does take some 386 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: time to evaluate these trades, but it's obvious where the 387 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: Eagles are with A. J. Brown as the clear winners 388 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah to me, and I just look 389 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: at where the team was with the Titans in terms 390 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: of trying to win right now, the number one seed, 391 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: You've got a running back you're paying good money to 392 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: to try and get those last you know, a few 393 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: years out of it was kind of just an odd 394 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: timing to them kind of pivot and kind of come 395 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: with the youth movement there and not pay the money 396 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: there to A J. Brown from the Eagle standpoint, real 397 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: quick pass rush, completely dominant. Um, you look at that 398 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: side of the ball. They just got after him. Up front, 399 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: it's waves and waves of defensive lineman. You're taking notes. 400 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: Josh Sweat is winning outside, he's winning on inside rushes, dominant. 401 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: You saw Sue flash a little bit, get some penetration. 402 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: Then you've got Reddit coming off the uh off the edge, 403 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: who's got big time, big time burst. So they've got 404 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: so many different guys they can throw at you. Fletcher 405 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: Cox picked one up, Hardgrave got after it. It's just 406 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: a really deep, talented group there with the Philadelphia Eagles, 407 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: So hats off to them and their pastor has taken 408 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: over and dominating the football game from that side. So 409 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: a very impressive win for the Philadelphia Eagles. All Right, 410 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. We've got plenty more 411 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: to get to here on a Monday again, some incredible games. 412 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: Will dig into the rest of them when we get 413 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: back right after this.

Alright, right, 421 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: this is a game between two teams with good records, um, 422 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: that are both chasing a playoff birth and I feel 423 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: like nobody believes in either one of them here with 424 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: Washington uh and the Giants here. What was your takeaway 425 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: from this ball game that ended in a lovely tie? Yeah, 426 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, it feels like everyone's waiting for the other 427 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: shooting dropped, like with both of these teams. Like, all right, 428 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: when does you know Taylor Heineke turned into a pumpkin? Right? 429 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: And when do the you know, when does Daniel Jones 430 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, prove again that he is not the guy 431 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: in New York. Well, I got news for you, Like, 432 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is not going quietly into the night here, um, 433 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: in this season and and in his career right now. 434 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean, like, this guy is playing some good football 435 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: and you think about what he's doing, um with the 436 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: targets that he has, it makes it all the more 437 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: impressive and twelve carries in this game for seventy one 438 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: rushing yards, and some of them were scrambles. Sure saw 439 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: some pressure, got out of it and made some nice plays, 440 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: ran for some first downs. There were some QB design 441 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: runs as well, which again in today's league, like you 442 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: need a player like Daniel Jones that has that type 443 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: of mobility. And he was judicious with the football. He 444 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: took care of the football. He was efficient thirty one 445 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: in this game when you include the overtime, just one touchdown, 446 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: zero interceptions. I just feel like there was a lot 447 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: to like about what Daniel Jones did there. But again 448 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: only through for two yards and they only put up 449 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: twenty points. So what does that tell you, Well, um, 450 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, they're just they're not an explosive team through 451 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: the air and and in the passing game, and the 452 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: safe Kwon Barkley isn't pulling off chunk plays here, and 453 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: they're like, it's gonna take them some possessions in some 454 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: time to move the football down the field, which is 455 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: okay unless you get behind or unless you need you know, 456 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns at the end, or you know, like in this case, 457 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: the throw that Daniel Jones made to get in field 458 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: goal range at the end of overtime fifty eight yard 459 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: or for Graham good Oh, which he missed. I mean, 460 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: it was like a textbook like he just maneuvers, sidesteps 461 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: some pressure after the left guard gets beat really quickly 462 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: fires it on the money ball over the middle in 463 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: front of a couple of defenders and they have a 464 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: chance to go win that game. So that's kind of 465 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: my point, Like Daniel Jones gives the Giants a chance 466 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: to win football games. They just don't have enough on 467 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: the perimeter to scare anybody out of dealing with you know, 468 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: stacking the box to deal with Sa Kwon Barkley, and 469 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: they don't have anybody to to like vertically really stretched 470 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: the field. Now that wan Dale Robinson has been hurt, 471 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: the Tredy Candarius Tony, Kenny Golladay is what it is 472 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: at this point. Um. I mean, credit to Isaiah Hodges 473 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: who's done some nice things for him, But I mean, like, 474 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, we could get Daniel Jones some help to 475 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: really understand what he can do for this team. You know, 476 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: it's interesting you flip that over to the commander's side 477 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: and you talk about the lack of weapons with the Giants. 478 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: I think that the Commanders might have the most like 479 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: clearly defined one, two, and three, Like they have a 480 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver and Terry mclarnas twenty seven years old, 481 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: who just got paid and is one of the best 482 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: in the business right now. I think he's a clear 483 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: number one. Curtis Samuel has proven to be a really 484 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: good sidekick, a really good number two wide receiver. He's 485 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: got over five hundred yards already this year, he's got 486 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: fifty four grabs. I think he's a really solid number 487 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: two receiver. And then you have the rookie here and 488 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: John Dotson is twenty two years old, who I think 489 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: is everything you kind of want. And that third receiver 490 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: with what he can bring and what he does for 491 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: this ball club, I think all of them can move 492 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: around to if you wanted to, you can play him 493 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: inside or outside. I think all of them are interchangeable 494 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: in that regard with their skills. That's they can all 495 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: get on top. They can all it's a it's a 496 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: really good group. So Taylor Heineke has got a lot 497 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: of credit for this team winning ball games, and he's 498 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: been kind of labeled a winner. But I look at 499 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: these two teams in a tie ball game, and I 500 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: look at what Daniel Jones was doing with who he's 501 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: thrown too, and then I look at at Heinek putting 502 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: up the same total plan with much better players out 503 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: there on the perimeter. I thought it was interesting a 504 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: little uh comparison when you look at the groups that 505 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: they're playing with and the numbers tell the same story. 506 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: Seven explosive plays through the air for the Commanders, you 507 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: don't know how many for the Giants. One like that's it. 508 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean that that is part of the difference here 509 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: in these two teams certainly, and in the Giants upward 510 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: mobility in that division and look, honestly in the conference, 511 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: no doubt. Well, anyways, interesting ball game there ins in 512 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: the tie. Really nothing was decided in that one. So 513 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: everybody has their opinion on on those two teams and 514 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: they left with the exact same opinion there before the 515 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: game started. Let's get to another one here, Let's get 516 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: to another one. This is a fun game to watch. 517 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: Actually saw a little bit this one before the Chargers 518 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: Raiders game, and that was the Jets at the Vikings. 519 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: The game, the Vikings had a big lead, the Jets 520 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: came storming back, but they couldn't quite finish it. It 521 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: was a big win at home for the Minnesota Vikings. 522 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: I thought, really the key to this ball game was 523 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: the defense in the red zone for the Vikings, forcing 524 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: so many field goals. The Jets marched the ball up 525 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: and down the field. You look at the total yardage, 526 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: uh in their favor. They dominated it, but they couldn't 527 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: finish only one touchdown on six red zone possessions. Yeah. Absolutely, 528 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: So when you go back and look at it, a 529 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: couple of things stood out to me. Number One, when 530 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: they got inside the red zone, the Vikings did a 531 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: good job of knocking them off schedule on early downs. 532 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: So then you look at those possessions, there's a third 533 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: and seven, a third and sixteen, another third and seven, 534 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: a third and ten, a third and five, with a 535 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: couple of third and ones mixed in there. But they 536 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: made it a difficult challenge when they got to third down, 537 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: and when they got them in third and long, they 538 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: did the same thing they rushed for they played coverage. 539 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: They were able to get just enough pressure, and they 540 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: were able to just just kind of cloudy the vision 541 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: there for Mike White with a lot of guys back 542 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: there in coverage, a little bit of two men they 543 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 1: were running there as well as some match coverage. But 544 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: I thought they had a really good game plan. But 545 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: it started by getting them off schedule on early downs. 546 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard to convert third and longs inside 547 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: the red zone. A lot easier when you find yourself 548 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: in third and two's third and threes. Negative plays of 549 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: the red zoner just brutal, I mean absolutely, I mean 550 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: it's drive killers. That's what turned six into three obviously. 551 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: And then the Jets had four straight fuel goal opportunities 552 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: from the second through the fourth quarters where that was 553 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: their only points. Certain line from sixty thirty six thirty 554 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: twenty six, which explains your red zone argument there, and 555 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: those last three field goal opportunities, and like you know, 556 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: good for him, ends up hitting all those, but it's 557 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: just not enough. And and so you waste the terrific 558 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: effort from your defense. Who keeps Dalvin Cook under a hundred, 559 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins under two hundred, and Justin Jefferson under fifty. 560 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: You have got to win the football game when your 561 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: defense he's that good against one of the best offenses 562 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: in football, and they don't and so that that is 563 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: part of the problem. And it wasn't for lack of 564 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: the yardage. Three for sixteen on third down tells a 565 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: part of that story as well. Um, but like wasn't 566 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: for a great it was not for a great, great 567 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: effort from Garrett Wilson. I mean, who did his part 568 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: in this game. And I looked back, he was targeting 569 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: fifteen times, only caught eight of them. So like there's 570 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, there's something there as well. But man, you 571 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: go back to how we had. Remember you and I 572 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: had a bunch of discussions about the receiving class coming 573 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: into last year's draft. You know, Chris a Lava Garrett 574 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: Wilson up there, and I was, you know, I was 575 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: a sucker for not a sucker, but I was in 576 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: love with with the way that Chris LaVey ran his routes. 577 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean just so silky smooth. I wanted him to 578 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to make it my top wide out. And 579 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: then you kind of kept telling He's like, no, you 580 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta watch how physical Garrett Wilson is with 581 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: the football in his hands, and just how how much 582 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: of a complete player he really is. I mean, obviously 583 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: he's explosive, can get the ball down the field. But 584 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: the way that he can make guys miss um. I 585 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: mean a couple of the plays in this game with 586 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: the run after catch in you throw the content yards 587 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: the contact in there too, and it's like, I mean, 588 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: this dude is an absolute stud. He goes for eight 589 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: eight catches, hundred sixty two yards. He had a sixty 590 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: yard or in this game. Didn't get into the end zone. 591 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: But I mean he is a game changing player. And 592 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: if the Jets can figure things out consistently a quarterback man, 593 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: they got a good one for years to come. Here. Yeah, 594 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: he's electric, um, And that was Stefon Diggs was the 595 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: comp there and that's what he looks like running around 596 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, he's a he's a big time talent. 597 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take a break red we come back. 598 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: Interesting discussion to have with the Detroit Lions. It's a 599 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: big win for them, but we want to forecast forward 600 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: and what did they do at the most important position 601 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: in sports? Will jump into that right after this. All right, 602 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: let's jump back in here talking about a Detroit Lions 603 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: team with a big win over Jacksonville. And there's a 604 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: couple of different layers to this thing that I want 605 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: to get to Red. I'm actually gonna get it over 606 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: to you first because I want to get your thoughts 607 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: on on the number one and number two overall picks, uh, 608 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: and what you saw from that. I want to come 609 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: back and we can dig into what the quarterback position 610 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: looks like with the Lions and how this draft is 611 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: going to kind of connect with their needs. So why 612 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: don't you start us off here just what you saw 613 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: from those two guys. Anytime you see number one versus 614 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: number two in a draft, like it's a good story, right, 615 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: we've seen that. We usually you see it with quarterbacks, right, 616 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: and we've seen that certainly over the course of the 617 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: last few years. But it was, you know, Golf and 618 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 1: wentz Or Mariota and Winston, and now we got Walker 619 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: and Hutchinson, right, the two edge rushers who went one 620 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: and two. Obviously, Trayvon Walker going number one out of 621 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: Georgia of the Jacksonville Jaguars and then Adan Hutchinson number 622 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: two to his hometown Lions. There So, and you think 623 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: back to all the conversations we had about this, and 624 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: I think there was some trepidation you know, kind of 625 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: as a popular opinion about whoa, we're Trayvon Walker coming 626 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: out of nowhere here and you uh to be like 627 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: the project that as the number one overall pick, and 628 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: you're like, well, I mean, you look at the skill set, 629 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: you look at the athleticism, you look at the tools 630 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: that he has. Man, if this dude puts it all together, 631 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: like you might be a you know, it might be 632 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: that Miles Garrett type of player, right, might be that 633 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: transcendent type of pass rusher, and you didn't see it 634 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 1: a lot on his college state. Well, the opposite right 635 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: for Hutchinson, who had the terrific production um was a 636 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: key piece of Michigan's Big Ten Championship run. Polished pass 637 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: rusher had a lot of tools in his tool kit 638 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: that he could throw out there in past rushing scenarios. 639 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what you saw in this game. 640 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: And like both players that thought played pretty well in 641 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: this game. Hutchinson just at this point still looks like 642 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: the more polished player, Like he had a spin move 643 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: in this game that was like at the end of 644 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: the game, like under a minute, the game's well in 645 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: in hand, and this dude still, you know, obviously a 646 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: percent effort and spin move on Walker little. I mean 647 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, there goes Dwight Freeney again, like 648 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: it was, it was that good. And he gets to 649 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence there he had a sack in this game. Um, 650 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, he he just has so many different ways 651 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: that he can beat you, whereas right now Trayvon Walker 652 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: feels like if it's not power, it's nothing. And he 653 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: can generate some pressure with that power and in converting 654 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: some of that speed to power, and you see that 655 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: a lot with him, But there just isn't that variety 656 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: of moves. I do like that they move them around 657 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: a little bit kind of you put his hand in 658 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: the dirt almost as like a five tech inside sometimes 659 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: and you start running some of those some of those 660 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: games inside down there, and he could be a real 661 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: factor in the interior two, which is kind of cool. Um, 662 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna be a really, really, really 663 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: good player. It's just right now, Hutchinson just a little 664 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: bit ahead. Yeah, And we knew that coming in, and 665 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: we knew that Aidan Hudson arrived as more of a 666 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: finished product and it was more of a work in 667 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: progress there with Trayvon Walker, but you can dream on 668 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: what he can be. Plays hard, dominates against the run, 669 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: and he provides some upside hopefully here in the future 670 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: as a pass rusher. Alright, So last year, Aidan Hudginson 671 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: the second pick for the Detroit Lions. As it stands 672 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: right now, they're holding a top five pick courtesy of 673 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Matthew Stafford trade. So that would 674 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: be as the season, uh sits right now, would be 675 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: the number four overall pick, which would put them in 676 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: range of a quarterback. Think about the teams picking ahead 677 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: of them, the Bears with Justin Fields, they're not taking 678 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: one of the Seahawks. Uh shoot, the way that they're 679 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: getting quarterback play right now from Gino Smith, don't know 680 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: they're going to be in the quarterback market. So you 681 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: could have a chance to get one of the top 682 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks in this draft class if you're the Lions. 683 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: Now the question is, Rhett, you look at Jared Goff 684 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: and the way he's playing, the way this offense has 685 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: really started to get going. Here the the the obvious 686 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: upgrade over him. I don't know that that obvious upgrade exists. 687 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: Picking fourth in this draft, I don't. I don't know, 688 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: and I look at Okay, I know exactly what I 689 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: have with Jared Goff, I can address another need. I 690 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: think that the Jets, you know, a little bit of 691 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: a cautionary tale here, Um and we'll see how Zack 692 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: Wilson's career unfolds. But you had a Jets roster, Remember 693 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: that was a decision with Sam Donald, Um, or do 694 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: you punt on Sam Donald and you go get you know, 695 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: a young quarterback in the draft? Now, I think Golf 696 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: is more accomplished, considerably more accomplished at this point in 697 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: his career than where Sam was at that time. But 698 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: you look at all the great players the Jets potentially 699 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: could have had with that pick, Um, and they take 700 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson hasn't worked out. This Jets team is stacked 701 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: and loaded right now. But man, you imagine throwing one 702 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: of those other premier players at Kyle Pitts, a Jamaar Chase, 703 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: one of those type dudes in that you know in 704 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: that group. So I think that's something that the Lions 705 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: are gonna be kind of thinking through. Is the quarterback 706 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: of the future in this draft? Or can we run 707 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: this thing with a very affordable Jared Goff for the 708 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: next few years and just had another key piece to 709 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: the to the building block of this organization. Well, I 710 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: think in the question kind of becomes you know, especially 711 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: if the order kind of hovers around where it's at 712 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: right now, as you showed us with you know, the 713 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: Lions with perhaps an opportunity to get the second quarterback 714 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: off the board right there at number four. I gif, 715 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, if Bryce Younger, c. J. Stroud is sitting there, 716 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: like is it is that gonna be? That might be 717 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: pretty tough to pass up if you're Brad Holmes and 718 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: if you're Dan Campbell. Now, look look at what Jared 719 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: Goff has done this year. I mean, like nineteen touchdowns, 720 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: seven picks. Again, you'd like I'd like to see a 721 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: few less interceptions. He had ad a string there from 722 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: weeks three through seven where he threw the vast majority 723 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: of those interceptions. So it could be a little bit streaky, right, 724 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: and that was a big reason why the Lions were 725 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: losing football games and turnovers there. But I mean he's 726 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: got some good wet. He got some good weapons on 727 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: that team too, with DeAndre Swift and monro st Brown, 728 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: d J. Chark is starting to show up there for them, 729 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get Jamison Williams rolling here soon, like 730 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: he got a twenty five million dollar quarterback, which you know, 731 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: a few years ago it might have seemed like a 732 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: lot as a bargain. Right now in terms of starting 733 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: quarterback play, look, I could be tempted to go get 734 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: the best position player available right there at number four 735 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: from the Lions and feel okay about it because you've 736 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: got golf under contract very reasonably for the next two 737 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: years after this one. Um. You know, as you look 738 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: at the guys that have been the quarterbacks that are 739 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: headed to the Senior Bowl, player like Tyson Badgen, right, 740 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: a smaller school player out of Shepherd, Um, you know 741 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: who may not be on the radar as a first 742 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: round pick, but maybe that's somebody that the Lions could 743 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: be like, all right, let's go get the best player 744 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: available at four or five or whatever it ends up being, 745 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: and let's find let's target a quarterback we might like 746 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: to develop for a year or two, you know, in 747 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: round two or three, and maybe get the best of 748 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: both worlds there. Yeah, they also have another first round pick, 749 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 1: so depending on how the board, right they get off 750 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: to wait for their second pick. We've seen teams do 751 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: that in the past. Thing the Ravens do it twice, 752 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: I believe, with with Flacco and with Lamar Jackson not 753 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: being their first pick in that draft. So anyways, interesting 754 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: team to keep an eye on. Another game inside that 755 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: division with the Lions that I want to get too 756 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: real quick here the Green Bay Packers, I guess shouldn't 757 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: be a surprise. They go handle the Chicago Bears, something 758 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: they've done throughout Aaron Rodgers time. There. Uh, eighth straight 759 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: win versus the Bears. Your takeaway on this one, Rehet, Yeah, 760 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: my takeaway was the tail of two halves. Defensively for 761 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. They were getting shredded in the 762 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: first half in a limited possession game. I mean, I'm 763 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: talking about the You know you watched another explosive run 764 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: from Justin Fields in the first half. He's now his 765 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: third fifty plus yard touchdown run, which is incredible. So 766 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: he has seventy rushing yards. They have two twenty total 767 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: yards in the first half. Like something going wrong and 768 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: it's just kind of curious to see if the Packers 769 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of changed up anything. So watching it, I mean 770 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: like they were almost exclusively gonna run and cover three 771 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: looks against justin fields you don't want to run a 772 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: lot of man, Nobody wants to turn their backs against 773 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: this kid, right with the way that he can run 774 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: the football from the quarterback spot. And then in the 775 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: second half though, they started varying things up a little bit, 776 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: started throwing a few more looks at him, and that's 777 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: kind of where they got a couple of those interceptions later, 778 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: at least one of them coming on looks that they 779 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: hadn't really shown much of in the first half in 780 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: terms of coverage. So, um, I just thought it was 781 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: a nice job by Joe Barry making some adjustments in 782 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: the second half. Is that? And then the defense just 783 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: played better. Guys just played Jerry Alexander was a different 784 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: player in the second half. And I thought their run 785 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: defense was much better in the second half, And so 786 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: they really limited things gave Aaron Rodgers a chance to 787 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of figure things out and do what he usually 788 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: does against the Chicago Bears. Yeah, and I go back 789 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: and I look at the Packers and the home run 790 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: that they hit on Christian Watson. I want to go 791 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: back to that draft. If you remember the panic that 792 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: set in because you had that run on whiteouts all 793 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: took place before their pick um. You look at Drake London, 794 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, Crystal Lava, Jamison Williams, who get a chance 795 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: to see now, John Dotson trailing bers. I mean, these 796 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: guys just were gone. They were gone. So at that 797 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: point in time, they say, oh man, everybody freaks out, 798 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: and you go, yeah, I remember the Packers. They do 799 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: a pretty good job of finding whiteouts in the second round, 800 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: and they did it here with Christian Watson, who's got 801 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns over the last four games. He's really emerged, 802 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: not only as a passing weapon. Just get the ball 803 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: in his hands, Uh, anyway you can, and you see 804 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: the speed and the strength. It's real and uh as 805 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: a rookie that's playing phenomenal ball for them. So again, 806 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: just a nice reminder, don't freak out on draft day. 807 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: Gotta let these things play out a little bit. They 808 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: ended up getting tremendous value with Watson there in the 809 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: second round. I agree. I love when I think we 810 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: all kind of loved the raw athleticism that Watson brought 811 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: to the table, and it took him a little while 812 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: to refine some of this stuff as and you know, 813 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: he's banged up for most of the offseason, barely practiced 814 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: in the spring and into the into the summer. In 815 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: in fall camp, I didn't see much of the preseason 816 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: and then you know, took him a little while to 817 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: get his feet under. But man, he I mean, he's 818 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: like Chris Carter. I mean, dude just catches touchdowns. I 819 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: think like thirty of his catches have gone for touchdowns 820 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: at this point. So it's it looks pretty good. Future 821 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: is promising there at the white out spot for the 822 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, no doubt. I'll tell you what I know. 823 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: A team that's missing a whiteout is the Chargers in 824 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: Mike Williams who has not been playing, and the offensive 825 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: line wise missing some guys defensive line. Anyways, there's a 826 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: lot to get to with the Chargers and the Raiders. 827 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that right after we take a 828 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: quick break. Right now. This is a game I was 829 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: at in the Desert, Las Vegas. The Raiders with a 830 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: big win over the Chargers. Charges jump out to attend 831 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: nothing lead, the Raiders going to run. Chargers attempt to 832 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: come back. They come up a little bit short. That's 833 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: the that's the the cliff notes there on that one, Rett, 834 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: But I thought this game, this game was about the 835 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: Raiders stars kind of delivering the knockout punch. Really. You know, 836 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: Max Crosby the first play of the game, he has 837 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: a forced fumble justin Herbert gets on it. But Chargers 838 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: had to put so much attention on Max Crosby, you 839 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: had to leave Jamari saw your your your rookie backup 840 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: left tackle one on one with Chandler Jones. Chandler Jones 841 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: has three sacks as the best game he's had all 842 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: season long. So you had the Max Crosby effect, But 843 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 1: really it was the offensive side of the ball where 844 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs was Josh Jacobs that we've seen this entire year, 845 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: the NFL's leading rusher, just pounding the ball, uh, finishing 846 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: drives and really kind of putting the game in control. 847 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: And then you look at Davante Adams and what he did. 848 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: You know, they couldn't cover him all day long. Those 849 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: were the two guys you talked about trying to make 850 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: a right handed offense left handed. The Charges got punched 851 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: in the face by two right hands in this game. Right, 852 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's a tough that's a tough thing to do. 853 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 1: But they figured out, Wait, were you were those cliffs 854 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: notes from this week or were they from last week 855 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: or the week before you? I feel like it couldn't 856 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: be from last year. Yeah, as well could be from 857 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: their meeting at the end of the year last year. 858 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,280 Speaker 1: Just such a familiar story, certainly when these two teams 859 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: get together, or I mean, obviously great for the Raiders 860 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: to finally get something out of Chandler Jones. And I know, 861 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 1: for a pass rusher, like you feel like if you're 862 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: if you're out there and you know, if you're finding, 863 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 1: if you're getting close, you know the sacks are eventually 864 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: going to come. You talk about them coming in bunches 865 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: at times, and that was certainly the case here against 866 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: the Chargers. But I mean, look, the Charges are doing 867 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: the best they can here at this point with the 868 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: guys that they're having to roll out there along the 869 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: offensive line at the wide receiver spot too. I mean, 870 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: they're they're vastly shorthanded. Um, But I just want to 871 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: think back to a few weeks ago, right, Yeah, I 872 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: want to say it was about a month ago. The 873 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,959 Speaker 1: Raiders are in dire straits. They're riding a losing street here. 874 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: They end up throwing Darren Waller on I R Hunter 875 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: renfro Goes on injured reserve. I think Blake Martinez retired. 876 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean like it was like, whoa, what is going 877 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: on in Las Vegas right now? And then it's like 878 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: it's like the wheels are like literally falling off the bus. 879 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,959 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, like they've won three 880 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 1: in her own and and what do you know, it's 881 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 1: like the big time guy showing up. It's Davante Adams 882 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: and Josh Jacobs in the same game, right, that's when 883 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: they're at their best one or the other, uh, picking 884 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 1: each other up and feeding off each other. And then 885 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think Max Crosby has kind of helped 886 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: will this wind streak for the Las Vegas Raiders. And 887 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: then Chandler Jones shows up here today, So like, I 888 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: just think there's there's a lot to say for patients, um, 889 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: and look what do we talk about last week? Right? 890 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you like to see patients, but you have 891 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,919 Speaker 1: to show progress to earn it. And I think that's 892 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: what they've they've showed us here that Josh McDaniels stay 893 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: in the course making some tweaks, figuring out how to 894 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: put his players in the best position to succeed, which 895 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: is of course what his mentor, mentor, Bill Belichick, has 896 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: become famous for. And it's paying off. And they're kind 897 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: of writing the thick of things right now as you 898 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: start to get into the a f C playoff picture 899 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: at five and seven. Yeah, we saw them last year 900 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: get hot at the end of the year and and 901 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: kind of snuck in the back door and gave this 902 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: since Anny Bengals all they can handle on the postseason. 903 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: So nice win there for Josh McDaniels in company with 904 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,959 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Um, speaking of playoff picture, here we throw 905 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: that up and and kind of look at the a 906 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 1: f C. I men, this is it's headed includes a 907 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: very big Sunday, I know, yeah, kind of separation Saturday 908 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: or elimination Sunday down whatever you want to you know, 909 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: used to call that one in college football, separation Saturday. 910 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: And maybe this is kind of a separation Sunday coming up. 911 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: Because you see the eight and four Dolphins, they're gonna 912 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: come take on the six and six Chargers. That's a 913 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: big matchup. Then you look at the number one team 914 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: right now in the a f C, the Buffalo Bills, 915 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to see if they can avenge the 916 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: loss to the Jets inside their division. The Jets a 917 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: playoff team if the season end it right now as well. 918 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: Those are two huge, huge matchups with big implications going forward. Rep. Yeah, 919 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: and I'm just looking at the playoff picture, you know, 920 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 1: in the teams that are in it as we speak. 921 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: Jets still in it despite the loss, with a one 922 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: game lead on the Patriots and the Chargers. And then 923 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: you've got the Raiders. You've got the Browns and the 924 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: Steelers all sitting there at five and seven. Steelers kind 925 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: of sneaking up here a little bit too after a 926 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: win over the Falcons, can you pick it? Playing some 927 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,720 Speaker 1: some pretty good football there, and then to Shaun Watson 928 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: now back with the Browns. Obviously wasn't very good in 929 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: this last game against the Texans, but they found a 930 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: way to win. The Raiders feel like they're finding their 931 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: stride here. I'm really like, I feel pretty good about 932 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: one through six right now in the a f C, 933 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: and that in some way, shape or forms, some order, 934 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: those six teams from Buffalo to Miami are gonna be 935 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: in there, but that's seventh spot could go anywhere, and 936 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: that's what's super exciting at this point in the season. Jets, Patriots, Chargers, Raiders, Browns, 937 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: and Steelers all with legitimate shots there. Um, I mean, 938 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: I think the only one, you know, Tennessee. You know, 939 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of been a little bit up and down, 940 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: but I mean they're in the a f C South. 941 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: They're probably gonna win that division, right so they're pretty 942 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: safe there. It would seem at the fourth spot, it's 943 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting to each a f C North, 944 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: huge week comeny. Gosh, you get the two division games there, 945 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: you get the Browns and the Bengals squaring off, and 946 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: you get the Steelers and the Ravens squaring off, and 947 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now the Browns win that game, 948 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers win the other game. WHOA, Right now we've 949 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: got a little something cooking here. So it's gonna be 950 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: a big exciting weekend of football coming up ahead. I 951 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: do want to tease that tomorrow Bucky will be back. 952 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna dig in on the Dion Sanders higher, our 953 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: former colleague Deon Sanders here to NFL Network.
