1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to Move the Six present by 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: the fourth series. D J. Bucky here, and Uh, we've 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: done it, Bucky. We made it through the regular season 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: and I could not be more excited about the matchups 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: we have slated here going into wild card weekend. And 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: I thought, on this podcast, let's put the tent takeaways aside, 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: and what do you say we just go through and 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: just our our first instant reaction. You're kind of a 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: instant pod here to what's going to take place one 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: week from today the playoffs. It does not get any 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: better than this, No, it doesn't. I think it's um, 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: it's good to get to the playoff season because you 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: want to see what teams look like when they have 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: to step it up a notch. I think all of 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: the teams that are in the playoffs, we saw them 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: at their best when they really needed to be at 18 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: their best. So I'm excited to see how the turnament 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: plays out. And I think that the like the Baltimore 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: Raven fans will be happy with this podcast because we're 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: not gonna go into what happen it in the games, 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna actually just look ahead, spend this thing forward. 23 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: We'll also touch on the draft or here, So what 24 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: does that look like that's been finalized here at least 25 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: for the first twenty teams. We'll touch on who's picking 26 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: there in the top ten kind of our immediate thoughts there, 27 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: and then as we're recording this, nothing official, but it 28 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: sounds like there is a very big name about to 29 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: re enter the NFL coaching ranks. So we'll touch on 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: that a little bit later on in the show, but 31 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: let's jump in here first, Bucky. Let's just work as 32 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: the calendar is gonna flow here. So the first playoff game, 33 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: have it set up Saturday, January six, four thirty five 34 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: Eastern's gonna be on ABC, ESPN Tennessee Titans Kansas City Chiefs. 35 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: Five Titans go to trial, will take on the number 36 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: four seated Kansas City Chiefs. Just the first thing that 37 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: pops your mind when you see this matchup on paper 38 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: buck marks Mariota needs to be um the dual three, 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: a playmaker that he was in college. What we saw 40 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: in the regular season finale, we saw Marcus Mariota do 41 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: everything that he did when he was at the university, 42 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: or he used his legs to extend and create plays 43 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: when the game was on the line or hanging into balance. 44 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota uses athleticism to make a play, and for 45 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: so long we've tried to put him in a box, 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: try to really make him develop as a pocket passer, 47 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: and what he is is a dual threat playmaker. If 48 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: you take one of those dimensions away, he is not 49 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: as effective. And I know injuries they kind of robbed 50 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: him of some of that. But when it was on 51 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: the line against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he used all that 52 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: athleticism that kind of made us fascinated by him as 53 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: a prospect. He uses to his advantage and I think 54 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the Titans have to let him play like that if 55 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: they want to get the best out of him going forward. Yeah, 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be interesting to see who runs 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: the ball better between these two teams. I think both 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: teams want to establish a run. Since the Kansas City 59 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs have kind of corrected their course in the season 60 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: after they were in that slump, they got Kareem Hunt 61 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: cranked up again, got that ground game going. Tennessee Titans 62 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: I think absolutely want to run the football, try and 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: shorten the game. Maybe even use Marcus some on those 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: design quarterback runs as well, just get him out in 65 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the perimeter. But I think both these teams wanting to 66 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: establish a run two of the really really good offensive 67 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: lines in the league as well. That to me is 68 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating. Who can control the last scroom, which 69 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: who can run the football in this game and take 70 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: some pressure off these quarterbacks. I think that if the 71 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: ball gets put in the hands of either one of 72 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, it's not gonna end well. I think whoever 73 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: runs the ball the best is gonna end up coming 74 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: out on top of this game. Actually, look at the 75 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, a team that struggle down the stretch. They 76 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: had lost three in a row until that narrow victory 77 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: over the Jags. Not necessarily you know, rolling as they 78 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: go into the postseason. But I think they're talented enough. 79 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: I think there's a game plan put together they could 80 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: go in there and actually get Kansas City. Oh, I 81 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: think so. I think they absolutely can do it because 82 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: now all the pressures off, they go to being the underdog, 83 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: and we had the underdog in the playoffs, where you 84 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: can really have a a no loose situation. You can 85 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: make things very very difficult for the opponent. And I 86 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: think for Marcus Mariota, I think he gets a lot 87 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: of confidence coming out of that. I think he felt 88 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: the pressure of having the lead this team into the postseason. 89 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: When they're they're in the postseason, they're they're in the tournament. Now, 90 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a better product. I think 91 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: he's going to play better. Um. I think the thing 92 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: will be I think Tennessee's defense is better than Kansas City. 93 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: If they played better, I think they advance. And so 94 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: even though Kansas City has been the better team for 95 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: most of the season, I just believe that this is 96 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: one where an upstick could happen. Tennessee could knock them 97 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: off on the road. Yeah. The other thing I look 98 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: at in this game too, is if you're the Tennessee Titans, 99 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: keeping the ball in front of you, that's gonna be 100 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: huge to not allow the explosive plays to Tyreek Hill. 101 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: That will definitely be something to keep an eye on there, 102 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: just to see. Also, they decided to get Patrick Mahomes 103 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: to start this last week, and he's he's the rookie, 104 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: goes out there and played pretty well. They get a 105 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: win on the road against the Denver Broncos. But is 106 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: there gonna be some early rust maybe there with with 107 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Alex Smith getting a week off. I mean, we talked 108 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: about this team's coming off to buy same type situation here. 109 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: He rests some guys and see can they jump back in? 110 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: Can they find a rhythm? Can they get rolling early 111 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: in this game? But just look, we'll have plenty of 112 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: time during the rest of the week to dig into 113 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: the tape and kind of break down what we're looking 114 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: for matchup wise, But first glance at this, I actually 115 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: think that looking at this matchup, I think the Titans 116 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: had a real shot at that one. Uh. We'll get 117 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more in depth as we go on 118 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: later on in the week. The second game flip over 119 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: to the NFC. This is an eight fifteen Eastern NBC 120 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. They go to the Colisseum. This is gonna 121 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: be pretty sweet nighttime playoff football in Los Angeles. The 122 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: Falcons go to take on the Rams. I believe it 123 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: was last year the Falcons drubbed the Rams and the Colisseum. 124 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: I get another shot out him here in this one. 125 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: This will be a fascinating matchup. First thing that comes 126 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: to mind when you when you hear this matchup Buck 127 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: and then his experience may give them an itch because 128 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: they have been in a tournament before, because they made 129 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: to run to the Super Bowl a year ago. I 130 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: think they're going to be comfortable in this environment. Even 131 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: though things have been ugly for them for most of 132 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: the season. I think this is actually a great time 133 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: for them to reset because when you go into the playoffs, 134 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: everyone is zero and z row. They get an opportunity 135 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: to make a three game run to the show. And 136 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: so I'm looking at Matt Ryan and I know he 137 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: has been kind of up and down. He hasn't necessarily 138 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: had the chemistry with Julio Jones and some of the 139 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: other guys. But I think in a one game scenario, 140 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm on the bed on the former league m v 141 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: P and the telling that those guys have in Atlanta 142 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: over the inexperience, that may kind of catch up to 143 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: the l A Rams in this situation. Yeah, and and 144 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: to me, it's uh, it's gonna be interesting just to 145 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: see how amped up and how juiced up. Not only 146 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: the Rams players are like that, Jerry Golf making his 147 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: first playoffs start. A lot of these guys on this 148 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: team honestly making their first playoffs start. Sean McVeigh, you know, 149 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: he wants to come out there and attack, and it'll 150 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: be It'll be interesting to see how the Atlanta Falcons 151 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: handled the early punch. I think you look at this 152 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: Rams team the way they start football games so hot. 153 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: I think this Falcons team, though, has enough veteran poise 154 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: to be able to kind of withstand that early punch. 155 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a nail biter type 156 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: of a game. I think they're very evenly matched, and 157 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: US is one I'm really looking forward to. How about 158 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: on the outside, you talk about a premier matchup between 159 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: a top shelf corner and Jamaine Johnson going up against 160 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: as good as it gets in Julio Jones. That's gonna 161 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: be fun to watch. Yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch. 162 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: They can play a lot of man to man and 163 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: we will see if Tremaine Johnson can hold up. Um. 164 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: I know Julio Jones has been beat up a little bit, 165 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: has some kind of nagging injuries that have prevented him 166 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: from absolutely killing it. But between Julio Jones and Mohammed Sanu. 167 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: You're talking about two physical players on the outside. We 168 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: did see Taylor Gabriel go off with a hamstring pool 169 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: in this game, and they needed him because he's kind 170 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: of their spleet speed merchant. He's the guy that kind 171 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: of takes the top off the defense and does some things. 172 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: But if they're able to establish all aspects of their 173 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: passing game, we saw in this game against the Panthers, 174 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Fante Freeman had nine receptions eighty five yards in a touchdown. 175 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: If they're going to throw it and throw it to 176 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: everybody involved, they can put a little stress and a 177 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: little pressure on the l A Rams. It'll be interesting 178 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: to see how this chess match unfold um next weekend. Yeah, 179 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to watch. We'll see if the 180 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,119 Speaker 1: uh you know talk about to the best young running 181 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: attacks too in the league. We look at Todd Gurley, 182 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: what he brings to the table, DeVante Freeman and company 183 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: cole One. That's gonna be fun to watch these running 184 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: backs get involved. I think this is to me, this 185 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: is my favorite matchup of the entire weekend. I think 186 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: Falcons Rams it's a pick um game to me. Uh, 187 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to watch.

I'll get to 217 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: the uh, We'll get to the second half of the 218 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: podcast season. Now the regular season is over, and now 219 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: we have to Grasshopper. We're winning the super Bowl over 220 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: those a ten guys in the mid roll reads. That's it. 221 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: That's a fact. Because damage Tex is not even and 222 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, I don't think we don't count him. Hey, 223 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: let's jump into Sunday buck Buffalo Bills Jags, the number 224 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: six Bills traveling to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. This 225 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: is a one pm Eastern time. This is are we 226 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: calling this the Bucky Bulls? This the Bucky Brooks Bowl 227 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: Game here. Yeah. Man, I'm kind of torn by this 228 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: one because you have the first team that gave me 229 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity playing in the league, the Buffalo Bills, versus 230 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 1: the team where I played the most, the Jacksonville Jaguars. 231 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: This is a tough one. But if you're talking about 232 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: an upset special, if Shady McCoy plays for the Buffalo Bills, 233 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: they may have the recipe to knock off the Jaguars, 234 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: because after I've seen Blake Borders played the last two weeks, OI, 235 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for the Jacks to score on offense, 236 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: and their defense is playing great. But I just don't 237 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: know if you can and I don't know if you 238 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: can hide your quarterback in the playoffs. And I know 239 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and some Buffalo Bills fans they don't believe 240 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: necessarily in Tyrod Taylor. But Tyrod Taylor is an upgrade 241 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: over Blake Borders, and at the end of the day, 242 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: if all things are even, Tyrod, it is going to 243 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: give the Buffalo Bills a better chance of winning than 244 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: Plague Borders, I think too. Of the thing that jumps 245 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: out to me about this matchup is you look at 246 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: that pass rush for the Jags versus one of the 247 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: more mobile and athletic and elusive quarterbacks and Tyrod Taylor. 248 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a fascinating matchup to watch see if 249 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: he can get away there. And also, I look at 250 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy is healthy going up against those explosive and 251 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: fast lateral speed guys at the second level for the Jags, 252 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: look at their linebacker core. That's gonna be a fun 253 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: matchup to watch as well. I think when you look 254 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, Jacksonville has to 255 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: establish the run. I mean, that's no mystery there. They 256 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: have to get Leonard four Nette rolling and uh Buffalo 257 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: you've got. You also got the Marcel Darius factor in 258 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: this one, right, You're gonna a very motivated uh Darius 259 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: coming into this game against his former team, the Buffalo Bills. 260 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be it's gonna be a fun, fun matchup. 261 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: I think this could be the most physical game of 262 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: the weekend. Oh, it's absolutely gonna be a physical game. 263 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: And not to mention, you have to Doug Moron factor, 264 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: because remember Doug Moron walked down the Ruffalo Bills opted 265 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: out left to an assistant job with the jackson Jaguars, 266 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: got all his money from the Bills while doing so. Yeah, 267 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: there are a lot of little things that are in 268 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: play in this one. But for the Buffalo Bills, if 269 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy isn't around, if he isn't available, it changes 270 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: how they have to play on offense. And I just 271 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: don't know if they have enough weaponry to really threaten 272 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville Jaguars. But Blake Borders has been so inconsistent 273 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: that man, he is liable to give the ball away. 274 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: And I think what we've seen the last couple of 275 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: weeks the immaturity of the Jacksonville Jaguars. They were in 276 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: a situation with both of those teams they should have won. 277 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: They should have won those games. They haven't been able 278 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: to handle it. We've seen more turnovers pop up, and 279 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: so in spite of having a really good defense, I 280 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: worry about their offense undermining their efforts because they can't 281 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: take care of the ball. How about this formula? First 282 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: thought comes to my mind. First, one to thirty loses 283 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: and that's past attempts. First of all these teams to 284 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: get the thirty pass attempts, I think the magic naughty 285 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: recipe for success for these two teams. I think the 286 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: magic number is seventeen. Whoever can get to seventeen points 287 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: on the board is gonna be the team too wins 288 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: because I don't see a lot of points coming in 289 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: this game. I don't know how Jacksonville can score a 290 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: bunch of points. And I definitely don't see how Buffalo 291 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: can score because I don't think Buffalo is necessarily an 292 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: explosive offense. And so to think about going against those 293 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: two lockdown corners, dealing with that pass for USh and 294 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: having to run against that front, I think you see 295 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot of punts. It just comes down to who's 296 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: going to turn the ball over and who is going 297 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: to cash in on the short fields. And as Jack's team, 298 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you look back to them beating the Seattle Seahawks. 299 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: They come back and they roll the Houston Texans and 300 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, they've they've got some serious mo headed 301 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: to the postseason. And they go out there Holiday week 302 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: and get beat up pretty good by the forty Niners. 303 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: Come back in this game, he wondered, when they play 304 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: their guys, where they not play their guys? They did 305 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: play their guys, and they are real sloppy offensively and 306 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: only scored ten points to lose that ball game. So 307 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: definitely kind of limping into the postseason here for the Jacks. 308 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: But I don't want to deal the joy for Jaguar 309 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: fans because this has been a team picking in the 310 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: top five year after year after year after year. It's 311 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: been a tremendous season. They've got a home playoff game, 312 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: every opportunity in the world. I think for them to 313 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: win this game, I don't think the you know, look, 314 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: the Bills can come in there and get up, no doubt. Um. 315 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: But to me, I look at the Jacksonville Jaguars at 316 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: home right now, Buck, I still think they find a way. 317 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: They can find a way to cover up. I know 318 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: you said they can't hide Blake Bortles. I don't know 319 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: if they need a huge game from him, they just 320 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: have to just get a clean game. If they get 321 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: a clean game from Blake Bortles, I think the Jaguars 322 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: end up getting to win. And what a remarkable turnaround 323 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: for that football team from one year to the next. 324 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: I think if I'm the Jacksonville Jaguars, I'm gonna pop 325 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: in the tape from the middle of the year. I'm 326 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: gonna look at what the New Orleans Saints were able 327 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: to do when they ran to the football at will 328 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. I'm gonna look at what the 329 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: Charges were able to do when they wore them out, 330 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: even though Nate Peterman played UM. There's been some times 331 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: where the Buffalo Bills haven't played great on defense, and 332 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: I think you can run it at them. You have 333 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: to be committed to running the ball. Think this is 334 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: a heavy pads week. I think they put on the 335 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: big boy pads and if they're going to win, they 336 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: have to tell their offensive line and Leonard Fournette, this 337 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: is when you need to be the star, the guy 338 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: that we drafted you early to be. He has to 339 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: be a dominantly. He has to be a big part 340 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: of the game plan. Alright, Panthers going to take on 341 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. Obviously, these teams know each other 342 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: very well inside the same division two meetings earlier this year. 343 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: Saints one thirty four to thirteen in the first game, 344 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: and then they go on the road, UM and the 345 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: Saints one again thirty. So they sweep the season series 346 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers. This one is at home. This 347 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: is four forty Eastern time on Fox. First thoughts Panthers 348 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: Saints Round three. Buck. You know it's tough to be 349 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: the team three times in in the same season. But 350 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: I will say in each of those games, Alba Kamara 351 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: was a star. Camara was absolutely dominant in terms of 352 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: what he was able to do in the backfield as 353 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: a runner in a receiver. And so if I'm the 354 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, I gotta figure out a way to stop 355 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: for what he one forty one is kind of the 356 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: engine that makes the car go when it comes to 357 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: his ability to create the explosive plays and to create 358 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: the mismatches on the outside that allow other people to 359 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: have favorable matchups. Caroline has to make sure they neutralize 360 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: him and take care of the running game. And it 361 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but they need to make Drew Brees beat them, 362 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: and they need to make challenge him to beat him 363 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: over the top of the defense. He's playing more small ball, 364 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: more controlled. They gotta take that away because they will 365 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: paper come to death if they if you allow them to. 366 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: So I think you have to force Drew to push 367 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: the ball on the field and see if he still 368 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: has the arm strength did to get it done. Yeah, 369 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's a it's a very good point. 370 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: I look at this game though, and I think this 371 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: is the kind of the X factor for me. The 372 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: last time they played, Cam Newton ran the ball six times. Okay, 373 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: now we are in the postseason. Now it's do or die. 374 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: I think I think you're gonna see Cam Newton carry 375 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: the ball ten the twelve times in this game. I 376 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: think that could be a major major difference for them. 377 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: Nothing to lose. Just cut him loose, just let him 378 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: go and let him run the rock. To me, that 379 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: can be a major major difference in this contest. Oh, 380 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: I think it will be. I think it absolutely has 381 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: to be. I think you have to let him do 382 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: what he has always done. Be a due with the 383 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: very play maker, make plays on the premimerter see if 384 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: you can find a way to put the ball into paint. 385 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: If he plays like that, and if he especially if 386 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: he plays like m v P Cam, they absolutely can win. 387 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: But he has to play the day. They got to 388 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: build a game plan and it allows him to do it. 389 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: Um fascinating game to watch because both of these seems 390 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: are good. They know each other won't be any surprise, 391 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: any secrets terrific. How Buck the first time one back 392 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: and looked at the box from the first game, the 393 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: thirty four or thirteen drubbing the Saints game the Panthers. 394 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: Cam had three carries in that one. So six carries 395 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: in the second game, three carries in the first game. 396 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: I think he doubles that. I think it needs to 397 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: be a twelve carry game for him. Um, and uh, 398 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: this is gonna be like you said. I know, I've 399 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: seen stats on there and say it's tough to be 400 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: the team three times. It does happen quite often though, 401 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: where you see a team sweep through. Uh ended up 402 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: collecting all three man This one, I don't know. I 403 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: don't know how to pick this one. Everything's you know 404 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: at at New Orleans. It kind of points towards the Saints. 405 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: But I just keep coming back to that same thought. 406 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: I just think you see Cam Newton aggressively running the rock, 407 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: and this one, I think that could be, uh, that 408 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: could be turned something that could definitely turn the tide 409 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: in this one. Yeah, I mean, this is this is 410 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: a toss up. I mean, obviously, if they knocked him 411 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: off twice, New Orleans. They know the winning form, they 412 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: have the winning recipe. Um, it comes down to being 413 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: able to get it done. It's a tough one for 414 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: me because I think Cam has to be a superhero 415 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: for them to get to win on the road in 416 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: New Orleans. I just don't know if he has enough 417 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: to do it. Right now, I'm leaning towards New Orleans 418 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: being able to go on. Yeah, but that's gonna be 419 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: a fun one anytime you get these divisional matchups. I 420 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: think that's always fun in the postseason. So keep an 421 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: eye on that one. I'm not ready to make my 422 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: call on that one. I'm actually leaning towards Carolina, believe 423 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: it or not. But let's let's get a little bit 424 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: closer to the game, do a little more homework on 425 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: this one, and see if it changes our minds. Have 426 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: you seen the draft order yet? Buck, I have seen 427 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: the draft for interesting, interesting that you end up writing 428 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: something on this now For NFL dot Com. I did 429 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: write a little something five takeaways like look, look, little something, nothing, 430 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: nothing major, just little things that kind of popped up 431 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: to mind. Um when I was looking at it, and 432 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull it up very quick, and I had 433 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: follow little takeaways like real quick other people where you 434 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: can find that NFLO com slash Bucky Brooks. Right, I 435 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: guess so, I guess you got so you can all 436 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: your work you did. Um the thing that came to 437 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: mind immediate. I think the Cleveland Browns have to make 438 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: a choice on how they want to conduct their radical 439 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: offensive makeover. Um with picks one and four, they need 440 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: to take a franchise quarterback and explosive playmaker, or they 441 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: can pick up a veteran via trade or free agency, 442 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: and then they can have two playmakers on the offense 443 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: to really jump start that team. It'll be interesting to 444 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: see what John Dorsey elects to do. When you have 445 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: that much power at the top of the board. They 446 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: need some secondary help in a big way too. I 447 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: would think that, yeah, but that's not sexy. No, that's 448 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: not sexy. That's not sexy though, selling the sex. I 449 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: get you're selling the sex appeal there. I like that. 450 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: Give me some more takeaways that you came up with 451 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: your you know, and I know we've talked about this. 452 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about maybe there may be as 453 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: many as four quarterbacks in the first round. How about 454 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: there maybe four quarterbacks that go within the top ten, 455 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: because when you look at the list and the teams 456 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: that need quarterbacks, there's so many teams that need quarterbacks, 457 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to push the quarterbacks that 458 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: come out even further up the board. I'm talking about 459 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: the Browns, the Giants, the Broncos, the Jets, you have 460 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and even the Buffalo Bills, and there are 461 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: a couple of other teams that are kind of looking 462 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: on the outside looking in. I think, what Flo, Let's 463 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: let me cut you off there. Let's for those that 464 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: are listening and haven't seen the order yet. I'm just 465 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: gonna go one through ten. I'm gonna label off, rattle 466 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: off the team, and you tell me, uh, potentially, at 467 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: least in the quarterback market this offseason, you're ready. Cleveland's 468 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: picking at number one, Yes, New York Giants picking at 469 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: number two. Yes. How about the Indianapolis Colts at number three? No, 470 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they think they're gonna find a playmaker. Yep, 471 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: you've got Jacoby Brisset in case, uh luck is not 472 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: good to go. So they've got some insurance. They're Brown's. 473 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: We you just mentioned them. They're also picking at four. 474 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: That's the pick they acquired from the Houston Texas. So 475 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: Brown's picking one in four, big opportunity for them. Denver 476 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 1: picking number five, yep, yep. And that was at the 477 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: at the Cotton Bowl to watch Sam Donald and sitting 478 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: in front of me where John Elway, next to Gary Kubiak, 479 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: next to Matt Russell. There one director of player person. 480 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: Now when I when I was at the Potato the 481 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: Potato Bowl out in Boise, they were there watching Josh. 482 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: So they're definitely in the mix. F five was an upset. 483 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: It would be an upset to me if the Broncos 484 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: did not come away with the quarterback up here. I 485 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: would be shocked if they did not draft the quarterback 486 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: with the fifth pick, even if they were to move up. 487 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: If they if they have a guy that they love, 488 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: if they ended up moving up to go get him, 489 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: would not surprised me either. The Jets at six buck, yes, 490 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: they absolutely had to find one because Bryce Patty's not 491 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: the guy. Chris Hackerbury obviously it's not the guy. Yeah, 492 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: then we get a little bit of a low here. 493 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Teams like Tampa in Chicago picking seven and eight, both 494 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: with young quarterbacks uh and then we have nine and ten, 495 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: which is Oakland and San Francisco in whatever order. They 496 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: have to flip a coin on that one. Both those 497 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: teams now with Jimmy Garoppolo doing his thing and with 498 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, they appear to be out of the quarterback business. 499 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: And then it gets intriguing to me with the next 500 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: three teams Miami Dolphins at eleven, Cincinnati Bengals at twelve, 501 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: Washington Redskins at thirteen all have quarterbacks. But you can 502 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: make a case in Miami with the health concerns and 503 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: the injury history there and maybe the limited ceiling with 504 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: the Ryan Tannehill to Cincinnati Bengals, are they have they 505 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: tapped out with Andy Dalton? Could they possibly be in 506 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback market? And then the one the kid made 507 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: a great play today, He did make a great play 508 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: to no, No, it was a big gotta give a 509 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: little bit of credit, but yeah, go ahead. But it's 510 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: a seven nine football team, the Washington Redskins and Kirk 511 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: Cousins and their big decision to make as well. So 512 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: uh man, it's the quarterbacks, as they do in every draft, 513 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: like they're gonna drive the storylines. Yes, I mean it's 514 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be interesting. I think the draft it's 515 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating. Another thing that popped up to me 516 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: that I think could be um a trend in this draft. 517 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: I think we'll see another top five running back. I mean, 518 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that we'll see another one. Now that 519 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: someone has declared and said they can come out. We 520 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: still can't really talk about until this official. But the 521 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: guy from the all white helmet with the blue stripe 522 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: down the middle, we both went and watched live and said, yeah, 523 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: I think I think I think he could be another 524 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: top five running back. And I think in some of 525 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: those situations where you have an older quarterback like Eli 526 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: Manning with the New York Giants, maybe if you're saying 527 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna go all in and save the quarterback, maybe 528 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: you do take a playmaker like that. Or how about 529 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Coats who have been talking about, oh, we 530 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: gotta find a way to protect Andrew Luck with the 531 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: best way to protect Andrew Luck is to have a 532 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: strong running game and with his ability to catch the 533 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: ball out the backfield, very creative and offensive coordinator an 534 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: offensive mine can do a lot of things there. I 535 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: think we're gonna see it for the third Uni Rod, 536 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: we see the top top high running back. Yeah, I'm 537 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: with you. I'm with you on that one, no doubt 538 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: any other else you have this in this article here 539 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: what I mean, just two more takeaways. I think pass 540 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: rushers will continue to dominate the first round. I think 541 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: when you just look at the way to board stacks, 542 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: there are a ton of pass rushes, not only just 543 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: ed rushers, but insize guys who have a pass rushing presence. 544 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: I think that could be something that's critical. And then 545 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: the last thing, I think the sweet spot for the 546 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: offensive tackles in this draft will be between ten and twenty. 547 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: We can see a little run where the offensive tackles 548 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: go off the board. I don't know if there's any 549 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: guys that necessarily deserve to be in the top ten, 550 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: but I think right in the mid mid area that's 551 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: where you see two, three, maybe four those guys go 552 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: because it's very important to their teams in that range 553 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: that need blinds out protectors. And I think this is 554 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: a draft that gives us some of those guys on 555 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: the board. Yeah, you know the other thing, real quick, 556 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: on the Browns, we talked about them picking at one 557 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: and four. They also come back I believe they're what 558 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: thirty three and thirty five and then another second round 559 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: pick as well, so they have I mean, it is 560 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: a big opportunity for John Dorsey here to get some 561 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: get some good football players for that football team, a 562 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: team that's lost thirty one of their last thirty two games. 563 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: Pretty incredible, buck Uh. One more thing, I want to 564 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: get to it and keep in mind. On Tuesday's episode, 565 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna jump, We're gonna dive deep in. It might 566 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: be it might be kind of a long podcast because 567 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: we'll go through all these coaching changes. We'll talk about 568 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: who could potentially be fits for all these teams. We're 569 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: also gonna go heavy on college because we got the 570 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: the the playoff games coming up tomorrow as well some 571 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: of the big bowl games. I'm gonna get out to 572 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl and check that out. See Georgia and Oklahoma. 573 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: Get back and watch on the two. Are you gonna 574 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: get out to the one in Atlanta? Buck, Yeah, I'm 575 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: taking I'm taking a red I'm going out to see 576 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: the piece ball. I'm going to see Auburn and you 577 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: see f you Cef has a nice corner. Auburn obviously 578 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: has running back. Some have compared to Levian Bill let's 579 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: see what he looks like a closer person. Nice. Nice, 580 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: that's a great one. So then you get a chance 581 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: to watch the Alabama Clemson game on the tube and 582 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: we'll have a chance to recap all the action. Let's 583 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: have some more names. I'm sure they've declared for the draft. 584 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: We can touch on some of those as well. So 585 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: tons of storylines to get to on the next episode. 586 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: But this is kind of fresh. It's it's it's out 587 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: there on the internet right now. Buck has not been 588 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: confirmed by anybody to our place, but it sure does 589 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: look at this point in time we're recording, it's eight 590 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: oh five Pacific time here in the evening that John 591 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: Gruden and the Oakland Raiders. It looks like it looks like, 592 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: at least cording to some reports, that this is actually 593 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: really gonna happen after all these years of the Groomers, 594 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: as as Silly is very familiar with from all the 595 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee talk about where one Silly you've graduated, you're gonna 596 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: he needs to step to jobs so I can never 597 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: hear Groomers again. Ever, it looks like it looks like 598 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: that could be happening. Books, I just want to get 599 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: your first reaction as as to your thoughts about John 600 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: Garden potentially replacing Jack del Rio, who has been announced 601 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: has been let go as the Oakland Raiders coach. What 602 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: are your thoughts if it works out. I guess the 603 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: best way it could work out would be almost a 604 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: similar situation that was very similar to Joe Gibbs who 605 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: was with the red Skins, left for a while, came back, 606 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: got them back to the playoffs, was able to kind 607 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: of reignited, rejuvenate the franchise. Um worst case, John Gruden 608 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: has been away from football for a long time, and 609 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: even though he is kind of called the game or whatever, 610 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: he is different when you have to go and kind 611 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: of do all the dirty work, and he's he committed 612 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: to doing the grind because the grind that he's going 613 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: to have to take on is going to require a 614 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: lot of hours, and you just wanted it almost reminds 615 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: me of old Rocky when Rocky was hungry and poor 616 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: and he was doing everything and he was hitting the 617 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: meeting in the butcher block and doing all that. Then 618 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: he you know, I kind of had a little success 619 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: and he was riding nice and easy. Is he going 620 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: to be as hungry as he once was? Secondly, Kenny 621 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: developed a quarterback that he paid asian enough to deal 622 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: with a young quarterback like Derek Carr And I know 623 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: we talked about Derek Carter, the twenty five million dollar quarterback, 624 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: but he's a fourth year pro. Gruden has always had 625 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: his best success with older quarterbacks, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, 626 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: Jeff Garcia, really didn't get along with Chris sim So 627 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: how is he going to navigate that relationship with the 628 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: quarterback because that is critical? And I know Derek Carr 629 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: says all the right things, but he's still young. How 630 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: is Gruten going to handle that part? Then the final pieces, 631 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: who is he bringing with him to fix the defense? 632 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: Does he have a guy in mind that can fix 633 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: the defense? Because if you can't fix the defense, it's 634 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: gonna be the same old problem. Offense, heavy squad. They'll 635 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball, but can you get 636 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: the defense right? Yeah, no question, I mean this is uh. Look, 637 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: I think it is good for the NFL just with 638 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: him getting back in wherever he would have got back 639 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: in because he draws eyeballs he draws attention. He's obviously 640 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: a great quote. Um, it'll be fun to watch. My 641 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: first initial thought was not comparing this situation to how 642 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: he won a Super Bowl on Tampa and that roster. 643 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't think this rosters at all similar to the 644 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: one he was able to win a Super Bowl with. 645 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: But I go back to those Raider teams that he 646 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: had big physical offensive lines, right, they were massive. You've 647 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: got that in place right now with this Raiders squad. 648 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: You've got a quarterback who's who's cerebral and who can 649 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: make every throw and can also move and get out 650 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: of some trouble and move around little bit. Had rich 651 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: Gannon obviously a later portion of his career, but I 652 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: think Derek Carr can handle that some of that stuff 653 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: for a good a good bit of that stuff and 654 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: can can move a little bit. So you've got an 655 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: athletic quarterback behind a big physical offensive line. Those Raider 656 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: teams receiver wise, savvy veterans, outstanding route runners, not gonna 657 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: blow your way with speed at that point in time. 658 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: What you had Jerry and you had Tim right yeah, 659 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: in those years. Yeah, I mean like there are a 660 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: lot of similarities. What you're bringing up there are a 661 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: lot of similarities to those old teams. And the one 662 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: thing if you go back and you really listen to 663 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: what he said that Monday night telecast Philadelphia and oak 664 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: he kept employing the Oakland Raiders to run Marshawn Lynch 665 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. If you go back 666 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: and look at Gruten's teams. Even though people talk about 667 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: his work with the quarterback, he says repeatedly, I'm the 668 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: son of a running back coach. I believe in running 669 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: the football. They're going to run the football. And if 670 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is there, which I think he will be, 671 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: trust me, he'll dust off Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn will be 672 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: used in a more effective manner than he will used 673 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: this year. And even though he's old and he just 674 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: reached the ten thousand yard mark, he'll find a way 675 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: to squeeze the kind of production out of him. When 676 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: I was there, he did it with Charlie Gardner, Tyrone 677 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: Whetley and a bunch of other guys in the Poland Call. 678 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: That's when I look at the roster. They have to 679 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: go find it a Garner though they don't have that 680 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: on that they don't. They don't. They don't have that. 681 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: He will find that, like, he will find a way, 682 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: like Marshawn Lynch, Like we've talked about it. When you 683 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: get the rolls right, when you get the lead role right, 684 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: it's easy to fill in the rest of the dance card. 685 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is the lead role, meaning he's the power back. 686 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,239 Speaker 1: They need to find a little complimentary bad I can 687 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: do some of the other stuff. He'll fix it. He'll 688 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: find a way to get there right. You're right, though, 689 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: I think the big thing for him and his ultimate 690 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: success would be who can he bring in on the 691 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. And they need to invest 692 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: some draft capital as well as some free agent dollars 693 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: to try and get that thing right. They've spent a 694 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: lot of money on free agency the last couple of years. 695 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: They've had some pieces on the defense. It has not 696 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: all worked out. Uh, they've even spent you know, several 697 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: high draft picks. So they've they've got to get that right. 698 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: And whether or not that's gonna be, you know, Reggie 699 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: Mackenzie making those moves or not, I don't know. I 700 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: would imagine if you go all in and bring in 701 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: John Gruden. Um, it'll be his call as to who's 702 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: running personnel. I would think he's gonna have the keys 703 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: to the castle, so to speak. I would think so. 704 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: But I think those guys should work well together. They 705 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: were all together in Green Bay a long long time ago. 706 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: I think they understand the same system in terms of 707 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: looking at evaluating players. It will be a matter of 708 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: just making sure he's comfortable. The main thing is he 709 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: has the main piece right. He has a quarterback, he 710 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: has some receivers already, and Michael Crabtree and Marie Cooper. 711 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: He'll find in the way to creatively mask the deficiencies 712 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: that those guys have when it comes to speed. He'll 713 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: put them in a situation where they can be successful. 714 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: He has tight ends. Really, it comes down to re 715 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: establishing that team as a run first team, a physical 716 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: run team, take shots down the field, and then on 717 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: defense getting to play hard. And in fact, it's unfortunate 718 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: that the whole staff was fired in Oakland. I think 719 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: the guy that stepped in as the interim decordinated John Pagano, 720 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: I think he actually would be a really good guy 721 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: to keep on as the decordinator, not only because I 722 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: think he's a really good decordinator because he's already beginning 723 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: to be familiar with the personnel. I think that would 724 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: be a really good fit to keep him and then 725 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: just fix the offense. I know it'll look it'll be uh. 726 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: It'll be a big decision for him to make if 727 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: he does end up coming back. Man, I really do. 728 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: I hope this is true. I hope it does happen. 729 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be fun to talk about, it'll be 730 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: fun to follow, and definitely uh be something to uh 731 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: to get the folks in the Bay Area for at 732 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: least the time being fired up. And I know the 733 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: folks out in the desert and law to Vegas. You 734 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: talk about moving a franchise at Las Vegas and all 735 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: there is to do there. Uh. For the entertainment dollar, 736 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: you want to have a main draw, not only on 737 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: the football field. I think John Gruden talked about be 738 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: in the face of a team get trying to make 739 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: a move and sell tickets and and create some buzzing 740 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: excitement in a new town with a lot of lights. 741 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: I think John Gruden is probably better suited to do 742 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: that than any coach they could go find. Absolutely, he 743 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: certainly can do that. He's gonna bring the buzz back 744 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: into One thing that I do know about Gruden having 745 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: played for him up there in Oakland. He is going 746 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: to create an energy in the black Hole that hasn't 747 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: been seen since he departed. He's going to embrace the 748 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: black hole that stadium for the last year or two 749 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: that they're there. It's going to be rocking and rolling. 750 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: It is going to give them a home field advantage again. 751 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest with you, he's going to 752 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: challenge the defense and particularly Khalil Mack to take his 753 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: game up a nuch. That's what he did in Tampa. 754 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: I think that is going to be one of the 755 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: first conversation that he has. He's gonna tell him, I 756 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: need to put the defense on you back and take 757 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: us to another level. Yeah, it's gonna be Uh, that's 758 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating. Well again, we'll we'll update all the 759 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: coaches that have been let go and who we could 760 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: see potentially landing in those spots on the next pod, 761 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: as well as a heavy heavy dose of college football. 762 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: But we wanted to get this one out there and 763 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: uh and get this podcast in your in your ears 764 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: before the New year strikes.
