  Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the sticks on a Monday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: DJ Buck and Baldy Buck. I know where you are
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: every week because the Jags, Baldi, I'm always my first question,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: where the heck were you yesterday?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I met the NFL network here in La today,
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: I was. I was doing the Rams yesterday, Rams Colts.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: So it was, uh, you know, the Rams put up
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns there in the final four minutes to win
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: that game, but it was, uh, you know it was
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: it was you could see why both teams could be
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: real good this year.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: No question. We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to that game. And in a few minutes here, Uh,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: let's start off with what was billed as the game
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of the week. Uh didn't end up being all that
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: competitive or close. But Baltimore Kansas City, Baldy well, you see.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I just see this Baltimore defense is a is a
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: real problem.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Uh you know, just whether it's two things.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: One what we took for granted and Derrick Henry just
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: having another monster year. It had it hadn't started except
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: for a few runs against Buffalo. He's really been shut down.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: He can't really get started. And then defensively, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: they're playing from behind in these games, and they can't
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: stop anybody right now. They don't have a pass rush,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, I just don't understand some
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of the things that they're doing, you know, to stop
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: other teams. But defensively, they're a mess right now. They
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: started off a mess last year and then they kind
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of figured things out in the second half of the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: season and they got a lot better. But they look
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: like they look like the defense that started the year
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: a year ago, Like new defensive coordinator Zach Worrn, just
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: not really sure they're personnel.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: And it's been a real issue here through the first month.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Look, I'll take the other side of it, and I'll
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: talk about the Kansas City Chiefs, and I never knew
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that Xavier Worthy could potentially make that much of a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: difference for their offense. But having the long ball, or
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the threat of the long ball, really opens up everything
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: for them. They still can't run the ball the way
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they want to run it. They still don't have a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: thread in the backfield that makes you change. But having
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the one guy on the fields avery worthy that can
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: stretch the field, opens up everything for everybody else. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: when you think about the Chiefs, one being able to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: go for over three hundred yards, being able to open
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it up even though he didn't have one hundred yard day,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but just setting the table, this looked more like the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: fun Chiefs that we talked about. We talked about making
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs fun again, Like this looked like that version
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that they could eventually get to. There's still a ceiling
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to it in my mind without the running game, but
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: at least from a passing game perspective, they can deliver
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: some explosive plays because they have a explosive guy that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: can command the double team and open up the field
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the guys.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was glad to see Mishard Smith got some touches.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: We've been begging for that to that so he can
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: see weeks ago. Yeah, give him some speed, he give
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: him a little pop. So he made a couple of plays.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: But interesting thing to me again, because I'm I don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: see these games on TV. I just kind of I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: go through the box score and I kind of see
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: what grabs my eye and that informs what I want
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to watch. So first thing, it jumped out. They had
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the ball for thirty four to forty five, so they
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: controlled the ball at Baltimore off the field. So how
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: do you do that? Well, you're four to four on
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: fourth downs and I don't know there's a better I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: don't know if there's a better play caller or a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: better quarterback on fourth down than Andy Reid combined with
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, and what they do They give themselves multiple options.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I went through the four of them. So the four
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: four conversions. You get a little roll right, you get
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a little rub route in the flat where if it's there,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: boom and he takes a ma Homes take it. If
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it's not there, he's going to use his legs and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: run and get it anyway. So you get him. There's
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a theme to it, getting Mahomes out to his right,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: his dominant side where he's very comfortable there. Then they
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ran the ball power behind Simmons, who's already playing at
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a really high level. The left tackle is going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: be a good player. They can run behind him, he
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: can move people. Then you go back, Okay, now we're
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: going to boot to the right again. Mahomes has options
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to run it. He finds the little crosser deep cross
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: hits I think was Hollywood Brown for a touchdown, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: then they come back in the exact same look. He
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: wheels out and this time he just gives it inside.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So everything kind of plays off of one another. There's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a theme of trying to get it to that right side.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It's just to me, it's it's baldy, It's option football.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Really is what it is.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Well, what you're saying DJ is and you're right. I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Andy Reid is a master. But I mean it's two things.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: It's the trust in Mahomes to go for it on
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: fourth down, to know that he's going to give you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a chance. And then in Andy's design, in Nagu's design,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: all right, what are the answers.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: If they do this?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: If they take this away on the rub route, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: going to the right, I mean, if they take that
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: away and they jump it, uh, you know, where's where's
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: where's the answer? And so I always feel like they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: thinking next level because a lot of these fourth down
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: plays you see in the league, and everybody is you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: kind of ranching that up and trying to keep possession
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: right now, you know, Okay, if if the the route
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: that you called isn't there because whatever happens, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: where is where's your option?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: And I feel like they think that all the way through.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every quarterback I've ever talked to it,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you've had similar experiences. Baldi, It's like what
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: do they want? They just get, Hey, give me answers, Like,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: give me some answers to whatever I'm gonna see. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: need to have an answer that that. I don't know
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: anybody's done that better than Andy.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I mean that's you know, you know, you just give
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: them some hogindos, you know on Tuesday night, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: and let him just go tinker DJ I mean that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, that's what he does. Like he's tinkering
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: all the time. And that's why, you know, you talk
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to Mahomes before these games. When I get a chance
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: to talk to him, and I'm like, how many new
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: plays this week? Bet, And It's like, oh, we got
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: like six six seven new ones. I can't wait, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and they're wrapping them and walking through it and put
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: it on the board and the whole thing and then
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you know, if if it has the right amount of
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: answers depending on what the defense are gonna do to you.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Then they're gonna put it in the game plan, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: then it's a question of you know, they're gonna pull
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it out or not. But it's, uh, it's what do
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: we have? You know, Buck, you just talking May, You're
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: worthy back in line.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: What do we have? What are they doing? What are
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: they you know?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: You know, those first fifteen are all about, Okay, we're
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: gonna give you this formation, We're gonna give you this look.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: How they match it up with it?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And so they're only they're almost building their game play
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: off the first fifteen to start that game, and then's
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: a question down distant situation and what's in our playbook
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: right here?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: No doubt they do it really really well. I know
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: we're how about a month away from Halloween. I'd love
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to see the Ravens dress up as a good defense again.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That'd be fun. It'll be fun to watch. Been a
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: medicince we've seen that. Dallas, Green Bay Baldy h So,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, I.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Mean it's a shootout. Dak was awesome. I mean both
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks were great, really great. Dak makes that throw at
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the end they try to go down in overtime to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: win it with a touchdown. He makes that throw to
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Jalen Tolbert. I mean, Michaeh Parsons, He's all over them
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and I don't even know how he got the ball
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: down the field. Now, I'm not sure what Keshawn Nixon
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: was doing and he ends one look like he just stopped.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: But you know, Dak gave Tolbert.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I'm told he made a great catch, great toe tap
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: on the sideline.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: But I thought that. I thought Dak was on his game.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: And this is, you know, without CD, nobody thought, Okay
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Pickens could make the plays that he did. The catcher run,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: the sideline, stuff like he was a monster in that game.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: But so Cobert ferguson how they ran the ball. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: got to give shot a lot of credit. The offense
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: is a really good offense. And that's with a backup center.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: It's with the you know, backup right guard. It's you know, uh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: you know they lost Guitton for a little while. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: mean it was with backups up there. And the way
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: that you know the quarterback's playing great and the offense
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: is well designed is you're playing with backups and you
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: don't even know it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And that's a.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Credit because I thought Tyler Booker was playing great, but
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you know, they went in there with TJ the whole group.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Hoffman played really good at center, but I thought Dak
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: got rid of the ball quickly because Michael was winning
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: his pass rushers one after another, and but Dak was
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: beaten with the speed of delivery, speed of decision making,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and he saw the.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Field really, really well. It was. It was a great game.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you like offense, if you like great
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: quarterback play, go play a six quarter, you know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Like four let's let's keep going. It's bought. It's funny
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: that she talked about the Cowboys.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I finally saw a path to victory for them down
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the line in terms of how they can play, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I think is very similar to the way that they
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: played last night.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: The offense has to be great each and every week.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: But if this defense can really hone in on the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: things that Matt Eberfluss wants to do where they're playing bimba,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't break, don't give up the big plays and those things.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: The only issue that I have with their personnel, they're
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: not disciplined or detailed enough to really play the Tampa
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: two style that he wants to play. They just have
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: egregious bust and errors at critical moments that lead to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: big plays. If they can just literally get aligned and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: understand the assignment with their offense playing the way that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: they played last night, they can win some games. You
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: don't want it to be in the thirties each week,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: but if they can just keep it in front, find
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a way to slow people down in the red zone,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: there's a path for them to be a competitive team.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying they'd be a playoff team, but.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They can be very competitive because you're right, Deck is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: playing at a lights out level. You just need to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: support the high level quarterback play with some solid bed
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: but don't break defense.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me wrap up what you guys
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: are both talking about here and put a little bow
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: on it and we'll move on to Philly Tampa. But
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: you talked about Pickings there initially, Baldy going back through
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: all this stuff, eight for a buck, thirty four and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns. So Pickings gets kind of labeled because he's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: so rangy and athletic and fast, like he's just your
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: vertical down the field guy. But when you go through this,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: there's some nuance to him as a route runner, he widens,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: widens guys on a seam to create a bigger window
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: for a throw. He catches a whole shot. You get
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: him on a one step slant. He can get you
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: on that stuff as well. There was a lot of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: different variety to how he won in this game. Did
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a really really nice job. So you'll see him on curls,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like he's working back to the quarterback deep end cuts.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: So he's not just a one trick pony. Like when
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: he's right, he's a full He's a full number one
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: caliber receiver. And that was on display in that game.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to rain on the Cowboys, per
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I just said some nice things about pickings, but when
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: their defense, I mean, guys, when you give up, when
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you're eleven of fifteen allowed third and fourth downs in
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that game, eleven of fifteen conversions, like they can't get
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: off the field, and you know, and I'm so that
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: that's not going to be something I think is going
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to get drastically improved. They can't really get to the quarterback.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I worry about this team. I think I've scored a
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: ton of points, if that's a proper phrase, to win
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of games. In this league and then Baldy.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: The last thing that I'll sum it up on is, man,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago. Green Bay early in the season,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and We're like, this is this super Bowl caliber and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I was saying, they made the right it's the right
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: time to go all in and get my you look up.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Cleveland's not good. They lost that game. Dallas I don't
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: think is very good, and they tied that game. They've come,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: They've come fallen back to earth man, no question.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: It was a two week where it looked like, okay,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you know, Halflee had it going on defensively, the whole thing,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and it has fallen apart. You know, they could not
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I mean the week before against Cleveland, they couldn't do
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: anything off you know, and then yesterday a Dack did
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: whatever he wanted to do in that game offense.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Buck, one more quick nugget on this. I'm here for
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: all the tight end screens as a nood alarm quarterback.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: You.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I mean when they they the Green Bay was dusting
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that off several times in that game. There's no better
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: feeling than setting up a screen to a tight It's
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the easiest throw and that that's ever been assembled in
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: a playbook and you got a little a little upside
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: with that thing as well.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: As a guy that started my college career as a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: tight end. Give me all the tight end screens you
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: want to give me, Give me all the dump you
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: know that seen dump, Give me give me all the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I'll catch those.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: You know those six yard plays all day long.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Man delay, give me, give me a couple of delay releases.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Delay.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: And we get off like there's six different ways you
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: can get tight ends the ball.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I meaning a bunch though.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're seeing a lot of tight end
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: screens every week watching watching the bunch of these games.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Uh hey, once you start us off on this one,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Buck Philly Tampa Bay, weird game. I would say Tampa
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Bay ended up coming back a little bit. But what
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you see on this one.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, for as great as the Philadelphia goes, look
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the first half jumping all over the Buccaneers, they couldn't
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: do anything the second half offensively. And it's the craziest
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: thing to kind of watch this team that we celebrate
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: having won twenty out of their last twenty one, but
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they always leave you kind of wanting a little more
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: so I want to give them credit for finding a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: way to get it done, but you still have so
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: many other things that they could get to aj Brown
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: only having two catches, Like.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Did he say anything? Did he?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Did he say anything after the game? Because I haven't
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: seen anything I could. I'll get to this body language
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: in a minute. But it wasn't great at the end.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Of this game.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I think he tweeted something, but I didn't get a
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: chance to read it yet, but I heard it is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a little tweet that kind of aired it out a little.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gavin and Drew help us out in the chat
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: on that one, Baldy, what have you seen there? I mean, gosh,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: they keep winning, man.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean, look, you know Kevin Patoul's
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: under you know, the hot lights, even though the four
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and zero, but he had They scored three red zone touchdowns.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: They were all different plays, all extremely well designed, all
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: perfectly executed, and so I thought, okay, three touchdowns, three
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: red zone touchdowns, three really different designs.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: That's good. Uh. Todd Bowles blitz from the.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: First game, first play of the game, then an answer
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: for the blitz the entire first half, and that's how
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: they jumped to that lead. They weren't fooled by anything
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: they had. They had the right read they had Uh.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Jalen knew where to go with the ball and that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: something he struggled against Todd Bowles in the past. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: on the other side, I haven't seen a corner play
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: better than Quinnon Mitchell than what he did in that game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, he defended one pass after another. He wasn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: called for any penalties. He plays the game with his
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: feet and his eyes. He's in position. Abuca made the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: big play obviously, you know said, but that wasn't against him.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: That was a you know, two scrambled drill touchdowns that
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Baker kept him in the game on, uh, you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: one to Abuka and then one.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: To to Bucky.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But I thought, I I thought Quinnon was absolutely awesome
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in that game.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd said before the season started, I talked to
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: somebody in the organization who said, Quinna and Mitchell, you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: during camp, he's our best football player, not like he's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: our best dB, he's our best defensive player. Like he's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the best player on our team. I was like, Wow, Okay,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: that's a that's power statement. He's lived up to it
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: with what he's done so far. By the way, that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: quote that tweet, I guess was if you're not welcomed,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: not listened quietly withdraw, don't make a scene, shrug your
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: shoulders and be on your way. Oh it's a Bible
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: verse mark six eleven. I wasn't familiar that, so throught
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: me off guard on that one. Okay, interesting, but he
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: looked going going, getting to that point, going through and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: just looking at all his I went through all hurt stuff,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: just watched all his stuff. So they start off early.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: One of the ways I like it when you have
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: a plan in place, when you get to get a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: blitz heavy team like they were going to see, get
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the backs involved. I'd much rather be throwing in my
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: backs and ask my backs to be in there trying
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to sort out all the chaos that's coming their way.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Give give you some easy completions there. I think the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: you know, they did a nice job designed some stuff
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: their short yardage. A little scoop to Goddard was was
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a creative play call down there and body you touched
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: on that the aj Brown stuff specifically. I think where
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: his frustration came was there was a couple opportunities early
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in game where he's one on one, it's a fifty
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to fifty situation. He's vertical down the field, and I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: think in his mind and rightfully so, he's like, hey,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: this is you got to take these shots like I'm here,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: give me a chance to make these plays. And Hurtz
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: turned it down a couple times, and then at the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: end after that, you could kind of see his body
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: language getting frustrated. And then like the gosh, the last
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: five or six throws they tried to you could tell
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: he must have been barking or there was some because
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: they were aggressively trying to force feed him the ball,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: and it just wasn't in the flow of the game.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It wasn't in the rhythm of the offense. It just
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: it was off. It was definitely off. And the body language.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Just watching the All twenty two stuff, you could see
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the slump shoulders, you could see the frustration. I mean,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: they throw them a screen out there and DeVante Smith
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: just leaves the guy over him to go block. Malat
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: has got no chance to get out there and get
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the corner, so he gets tackled for a tackle for loss.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: He just you could see the frustration building. That's why
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that he had tweeted anything. I
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: just thought watching that game, watching that tape, I'm like,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: surely something was said in the post game, and it
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: turns out he did it and way of.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: It just on the other side, you know, I know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Baker was unbelievable. Like that guy, his competitive he's just
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: a warrior. Like I know, he had to be exhausted
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: at the end of that game, but the way that
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: he kept plays alive, he kept him in the game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: It wasn't pretty at all. His effort to just avoid rush.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: They came after him a lot of different ways, like
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to avoid the rush, to extend the play, to get out,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to keep plays alive, scrambling for first downs, like he
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: did everything he possibly could with a depleted group up
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: front on the right side, and you know, receivers out,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, did get God went back. But it's it's
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: just no, it's just you can't.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: You can't give that guy any more credit than than
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: than than what he just did on that field to
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: try and you know, pull that game out.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Baldy, if I told you that your family was going
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: to be held hostage and you needed to have one fighter.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: When you a match within a cage, would you take
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: anybody other than a Lifeli a Baker. I would take Vidavea,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: and I would he would be my representative to save
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: my family's life in the octorunity any other human being
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League Atlanta. Dickerson is a big
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: human being, and he displaced him rather easily.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Let me just say that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Let's just say the equipment manager lost Vita Vea's equipment,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: no helmet, no pads, no shoes. If he just went
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: out there in a pair of shorts, would it be
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: any different, Nould? Would he play any different? Like he'd
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: be the same guy.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: That's not fair, Bucky. It just I mean, this is
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the league of some really big strong I'm talking three
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty six foot six. These are grown men,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: and it is they don't have a chance. He's so
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: stinking strong man.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean imagine being in a high school
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: after attacking him at tailback.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, just imagine that's what he was.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: So the athleticism that you're talking about, that's what he
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: was doing when he was in high school, running the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: rock on occasion.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: He is terrific. He has been as good as advertised
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: when he was coming out.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: His dominance at the point of attack really sets the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: table when you think about what ty Bowles wants to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: do defensively, having somebody like that up front as a
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: centerpiece only enhances the high pressure game plan that he
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: prefers to use. You know, Tampa. You know, is funny
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: because you don't take more victories in the pros. But
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I think if anything, man, you come out of this
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: with a ton of confidence that you can go toe
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to toe with the heavyweights. They're gonna win the division,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna be right there to have one of
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: these high leverage matchups against either Detroit or Philly at
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the end to determine whether they can be one of
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: those wants to get.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: To the winner circle.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously we'll get to the Pittsburgh game in Dublin,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: you know. But they were always talking about, you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: in uh, you know, sixteen international games and maybe a
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: team outside of the United States. If they ever put
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a team in Samoa and they small in Malatta and
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Vida and you just put all the Samons on a
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: team like they might run the table on the NFL
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: right now, Yeah, I.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Mean, that's gonna it's gonna bridge perfectly, Baldi because I
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: know they didn't win, but tweet below too. I think
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: had I believe he had four sacks.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: It was here for the game. Yeah, four, He probably
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: had left two on the on the field.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So we're gonna we're gonna stick a pin in that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: We're gonna come right back. We'll get to jackson darts debut,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and what a debut it was for him and the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Giants as they won over the previously undefeated Charters. We'll
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: get to that right after this. All right, guys, I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: was there Chargers Giants. It was a game right from
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the first drive for the Giants. They just went right
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: down the field, scataboo running the ball. I was telling
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: money as we were calling the game. I'm like, you're
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: gonna see darts legs on this drive because it's like
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a new toy for Brian Dabole, and you will all
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the new features of this thing. You want to you
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: want to test it all out here and really really
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: well designed uh offense down there they get down there
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: in the red zone, a little quarterback draw you got
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: scatabooed is a lead lead up there in the hole.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: It's just it's so it's so.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Impactful when you have a quarterback who not only can
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: like run or make you miss, but it can run
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: with some power and some strength. You get in the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: red zone. It just changes the math. He's got a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: good lead blocker in there, and he did it on
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of different occasions, uh in this game. So
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: they had a really good plan there. There was some
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: The thing that most impressed me overall on Dart and
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: then Baldyale kick it over to you, but was some
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: long third downs he was able to convert with his
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: arm and his legs. He looked poised. Now he took
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of sacks to we pullow two got to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: him a bunch. Then you know they got to him
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and hit him in this game. He actually was a
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: little gimpy too, yeah at one point time, but kind
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of fought through it. He had fifty four yards on
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the ground and he had a really long run that
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: ended up getting called back. He would have had close
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to one hundred yards. But to me, the toughness all
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: that stuff was there the third down and alongs like
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: keeping giving you hope. We always talk about that. You know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: you got a quarterback he provides some hope. But the
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: biggest thing to me, guys was when he came onto
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the field. When he trotted out onto the field, like
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the whole stadium lit up like he brings energy.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Man, he brought a lot of energy there, and the
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: fans played off it. I mean the touchdown run, I mean,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I mean that celebration was going on. The Giants hadn't
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: had a lead all year they got and it's you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: and we'll get to the other the other side of it,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: but you know, you you let that defense play with
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: the lead, and Dark got it in that you can
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: see the whole team got got a lift from it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's just, you know, the downer is
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: what happened to the leik, you know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, like here you are, you're trying to develop
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: this quarterback and then your star player over here is
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: done for the year. Like it's just it just stinks,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you know, because it's it's gonna you're not gonna be ready.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: To replace him. But I thought, I thought Dart did
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: a lot with his legs.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: He extended some plays and then like when he does
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: have to throw the ball over the middle, like he
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: does it with confidence and he throws over the middle.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: You talked about the third down conversions to extend some drives.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: That's a good defense. They're really good at up the
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: middle on that defense. And he didn't look the least
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: fit worried about who he was going up against.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I felt like I got a nice preview
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of what we were going to see on Sunday Saturday
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: looking at Old Miss play with Lang Kiffin. I'm looking
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: at Old Miss take down LSU, and I'm looking at
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: all of the different things that Old Miss does. And
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: even though Jackson Dart certainly isn't there, but it's the RPOs,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the rhythm throws, the quarterback run game and everything. You
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: turn on the Giants game and you see, oh man,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the Giants look like the pro version of Ole Miss
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in terms of how Jackson Dart is playing quarterback lead
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: down in the ins, DJ, if you couldn't call that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: out and say, you know what, I think Jackson Dart
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is gonna run something down here because it's a shiny
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: new toy, I'm dumbfounded in terms of that. But it's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: also what herb Rex Ryan talking about this. The reason
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: why you had to make the move is because you
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: needed this team energized, and because you have a young
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: guy who's competing, who's toughest nails, even if it's not right,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it changes the way that everyone responds. That defense played
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: lights out because of the energy that the offense was
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: given them. And when you look at Jackson Dart's statline,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it's easy to be like, well, he really didn't do anything,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: but it's the presence, it's the field, it's the toughness
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that he played with, the competitiveness. Look, man, it's unfortunate
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: that Elik Neighbors is out, but we talked about this
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: when they were gonna have Jackson Dart, Camp Scataboo and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Elite Neighbors. That's their version of the Triplets. They could
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: build out everything from that. Let's see what Brian dave
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Ball does to continue it on. But man, so far,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: so good for Jackson Dart starting for the Giants.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna get harder, and I know, you know, look,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: they played New Orleans. There's not a great football team
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: this coming week. But you start to see a little
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: bit of how they want to use him, and they're
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: going to be able to develop game plans and they
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: don't really have a big time winner on the outside
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: now that Neighbors has gone, so you're gonna see teams
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: are going to just try and crowd the line of scrimmage,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: take away this run game which he's involved in. So
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: trust me, it's not going to be smooth ride all
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the way through this whole thing. But you could tell
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that he's made of the right stuff. He's incredibly tough.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: All that stuff was excellent. We get over the Charger
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: side of things, man. Start First of all, Joe Walt
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: goes down and you're like, I mean, giem Andy, Christmas
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: guy Beck. Then it's hurt he didn't play. You already
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: lost Slater early in the years, so you lost two
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowl tackles and you're out there with backups, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: and that's a when the defensive line now with the lead,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: those guys can really really rush. That's how that team
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: was built to play that. They just haven't had the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: lead to be able to unleash it. So I had
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of backups in there. That was a challenge.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: But I said it at the beginning of the of
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the game, when it was like, Okay, what are the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: keys the game? I said, well, if you're the Chargers,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: you have to take away the easy button. You can't
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: make things easy on this quarterback. You've got to be
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: able to when you need to punt, you punt, you
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: make him have to the field. Well, they get two turnovers,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: they start two possessions inside your five yard line. Yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: that's the game. That was the whole game. That's that's
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: what happened.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean Dexter Lawrence's interception incredible play. It's a
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: great play. But I mean I thought, you know, the
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: twist and the games that they're running with Abdul and
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Cavon uh were really effective, especially against you know, backup
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: offensive linemen, and then uh, you know, Burnsy has just
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: been playing at a high level all year. So that's
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: the four. That's the four that you've got to try
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, contain. And they got to Herbie a bunch,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: They hit them a bunch, they affected them, They got
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: the big plays defensively, the interceptions, the whole thing, and so, uh,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: the defense, you know, really helped the offense out. They
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: really played, uh that style of football, and the Giants
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: did just enough, you know, to keep that lead all
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: game long. And you thought maybe, I'm sure in the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter you thought, Okay, this is gonna be like
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Denver here they come. You know, they got in a
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: position to really go and they just couldn't finish it
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: against that group.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: No, they couldn't finish it. And and you know the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: one thing the hope that you'll take out of it
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: if you're on the charger side of things, is they
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: got a Marion Hampton cut loose a little bit and
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: he popped a long run. Your targio, Bucky, He's going
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: to be a really good player. And I like them
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball to him too. That's like another theme.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I talked about it earlier. Buck hit on this and
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Baldy follow it up. But I don't know, you guys
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: tell me, am I crazy. I just from a quarterback perspective,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: especially when you got an established made guy like you know, Herbert.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: We talked about some of these other guys out there
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: in those situations. Dak Jordan Love, Hey, get my back.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I want to get my back out, Like get him out.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Let me answer some of these blitzes with being able
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to get that ball out to the back.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Well. I think is a cheat code iss ultimate cheat
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: code in the passing game.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: If you have a pass catching running back who also
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: is a legitimate running that you have to respect in
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the ground game is the way that you can create
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and exploit mismatches Marion Hampton and cast the ball out
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of the backfield. It gives you the easy checked on option.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: It discourages teams from blessing you all the time if
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that guy can win is one on one battles. We
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: see more guys touch the ball out of the backfield
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: because they are realizing that's the safety valve in the outlet.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And for these young quarterbacks that are kind of moving
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: into the next phase, because Justin Herbert is moving into
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the next phase of a going from not even game
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: manager to playmaker, but the guy that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Can be the ultimate distributor. That is what you want
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: to use.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Use the running back so you can now create more
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: opportunities for everybody else. It's only sensible to use a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: guy well, I mean, he's.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Just a complete back, I mean every phase of the
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: game right now, and he just keeps getting better week
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: by week.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: And so that was the real breakout game. Although he
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: played well before.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: But obviously with you know Nage going down like he's
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: going to have to, you know, really probably increase his workload.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And he was up to the task. But man, see
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in the open field, he is a hard guy to tackle.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: So his balance, so all the balance you know at
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, but that balance in the NFL is what
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: you're looking for, that contact balance, and he was bouncing
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: off a lot of defenders.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see if they can see how long Joe
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: al it's going to be out. First of all, that
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: was that was a big injury. And lad McConkie had
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: a couple of uncharacteristic drops in this game too, So
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I don't thank you.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: They've got to get that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Cleaned up, all right, Rams Indie, Well they were there.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: What did you take away?
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Who should I start?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Pooka's unreal, Like you know, a couple of weeks ago,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: you know, we were talking about you know, Cincinnati and
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: their receivers, and rightfully so, but Pooka, you know, third down,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: the Stafford's looking for Pooka, like when they have what
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: they have in DeVante and Puka. Right now, they got
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: two guys they can win on any route against any coverage,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to do.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: But his hands are so fast, like.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: He caught a go route against Zavian Howard and you
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: know late hands, but I mean his hands are in
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: eyes are so fast to the ball and when his
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: hands touched the ball, like he's not dropping, he's not
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: getting knocked out of his hands.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: They were all over a couple of times. So that
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: that was that part.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: But you know, to see Stafford down to only thirteen
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, late in the fourth quarter, you know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: and they're you know, they make the fourth down play
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: fourth and two and he goes to Pooka to score
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: to tie it, and then you know, I mean it
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: was kind of funny last week during the week too
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: to out well, they're asking him like, you know, how
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: do you get him involved, and like Sean McVay is like, well,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I got I got the number one receiver in the NFL,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and I've got a Hall of Fame player over here.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Like I don't think we're too worried, but enough, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: there it is two minutes to go in the game
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: and there's two two out well going eighty eight yards
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: one play won.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: The game for him. So that was that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: But uh, Daniel Jones, I know he threw a couple interceptions,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: but he still was and they shut down Jonathan Taylor,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: but they still are a feisty football team. And I
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: talked to lou M Morrill and Romo before the game
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and he was like, we're just We're just a work
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: in progress.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Body, We're not there. Uh. The guy that was.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Here before had a you know, a different way of
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: doing things, and guys were undisciplined. We're just trying to
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: get our run fits and and you know, we're trying
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: to get things right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: So I think they're going to get better, you know.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: So, But I thought Stafford and Puka, you know, with
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: a story of this game and how they just kept
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: plays alive all game long.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: You know, Valdy is funny you talked about lou and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Rouma and the Colts. I'm probably even bigger, a bigger
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: believe in the Coats after watching that game, because they
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: had their way. They look three quarters, they had the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: game on their terms. In the fourth quarter, they had
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: it where they wanted it and they weren't playing an
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: A plus game.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: But it just shows you the depth of the talent.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: It also shows you how much they've improved with Daniel
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Jones at quarterback.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: His decision making ability, his maturity, his confidence.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: All of that allows Shane Stikeen to use other pages
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: of the playbook that he couldn't use if he had
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Anthony richardson there. And because of that, I have confidence
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that this team is going to continue to evolve over
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the course of the season, and as that race is
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: still shaping up to be, because I think the Texans
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: will get back in it, but the Jags, the Colts,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and the Texans, it's gonna come down to quarterback play.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: And right now, Daniel Jones is playing better than all
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of those other guys. With the two interceptions, well here's
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the ghast of chance.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had the bone head plays by ad Mitchell.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I mean he's like giant. The Colts have complete control
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: of the game, and Adie Mitchell's walking to the end
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: zone and like whether he was trying, I don't know
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: what he was doing. If the celebration was beginning, it
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: made no sense, you know. And then they get the
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: long touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor, and he was just
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: a question of when it was going to happen because
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: he'd gotten in every game. And he breaks a long
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: touchdown run and it gets called back because of a
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: dumb penalty outside They had nothing to do with the play,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: and so he cost him two touchdowns and you just go, Okay,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: he wouldn't even be on the field. If Pierce is playing,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: he gets his chance, and I mean it's just two
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: bone headed plays on his part, and nobody wants to
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: say one player lost the game, like because there's always
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: other plays to be made. But I just thought, like
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: that's going to be That's that was hard to overcome.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was I feel like every year, I mean,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: we the Deshaun Jackson play.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: We showed it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: We show it every year. It happens, every happens every year.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: So I guess you just got to continually reinforce it
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: with these guys, man, just continue to show it and
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: reinforce it. We do it with everything else. I mean,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I know, talking to coaches before this last game game,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, darn near every team we had
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: a panic meeting about block kicks because we've seen so
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: many block kicks, Like we better emphasize this. This is
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: an issue all around the league. But that's something that
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: this continues to happen on Pooka. All the fourteen targets,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: thirteen for a Bucks, seventy and a touchdown. One of
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the numbers that Gavin and drew through in the in
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the chat here his yards per reception run. He's number
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: one in the NFL four point one nine. Right behind
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: him is Aamara Saint Brown's a flower. So the efficiencies there.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I went through and watched it all, and I was
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: talking a buck about it before we started, like it's
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: just those little five five yard incuts, like we called
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: them box outs where I was, I know, people use
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: different it's like the smash route. Smash concept was going
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: over it with me, but I mean, it's just kind
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: of a big It's a kind of a big receiver
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: route and just kind of keeps he keeps guys on
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: his back. They can't get around him. You can tell
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Pooka's got a basketball feeling background when you're watching him,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Like even watching him go vertical, I'm like, guy, doesn't
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: look like he's running like that. There's not like quick
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: turnover with his feet. It's kind of a strong, powerful stride,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and then he ends up kind of sneakily getting by people.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I hate that sneaky speed stuff. But he is everything
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: about him is kind of unique. I don't know who
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: to compare him to. How he moves around, you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Know, I talk to him you know, I'm kind of
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: walking the field before the game. I see him in
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: the end zone.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: So I've never met him before, you know, so I
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: don't do a lot of ram games, so I just
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: you know, you like, we start talking and I'm like, okay,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I just want to sort of introduce myself whatever. But
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: he's like a baldy, like, well, how do you decide?
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: You know, like who are you going to break down?
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Like we watch all you like the guys. He's got
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: to smile his face. Nicest guy in the world, but
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: he's a he's a he's a devastating blocker, like he's
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: a stone blooded killer, but it's the nicest Like he's friendly,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: he's outgoing, like you can't get the smile office. But
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: he's just having the best time out there right now.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, but I mean the efficiency. He's got
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: five hundred and three receiving yards in the month of September,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: like Calvin Johnson's record might be, you know, in danger
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: The way he's going, Well, you can't you can't dedicate
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: coverage solely to him because you got to worry about
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer on the other side of the field.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: So you know, it's a it's a nice, nice setup
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: they have. They're in a big win for the Rams
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: in that one buck your game, Jacksonville, San Francisco, you
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: start wherever you want. You want to start with the
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: coaches fighting after the game, you want to start with what.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: We saw on the game.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Whatever you want, Let's talk about this because I feel
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: like Roberts Hollard broke a bit of a code when.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: He aired out this stuff about the science telling one.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: What he did is he used inflammatory language to talk
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: about things that every coach does on a daily.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Basis, a weekly basis when it comes to running an offense.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Basically, he used sign stealing to discuss the advantages of
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: shifts motions to uncover what the defense is doing. And
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: because he made it like it was this intricate covert operation,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: it won. It was intentional because it created a bit
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: of a distraction for Jacksonville.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: But we're talking about things that we've been doing in
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: football forever.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Literally, I line up in one formation, I shift, I motion,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I see the defensive reaction. I have two plays that
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I can call after seeing the reaction. I make a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: kill kill kill call to get into an optimal call.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Now he layered the conversation because they talk about TV
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: copy and some of the things that you can glean
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: from watching TV, like some of the hand signals that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you may use on defense to make sure you echo
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and confirm the call.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: But hey man, that's that's that's.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Stuff that's not really illegal one and it's not really
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: anything that people can do because it can't have in
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: real time part of normal game planning, Bucky, and so
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: it created this thing not only for Liam, but it
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: kind of is almost like Shanahan taking a shot at
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the McVeigh guys, and it's just a weird dynamic. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I will say it added a little spice to the
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: game because I knew the postgame reaction. I knew that
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: was going to happen in pregame because they'd always said,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: hey man, if we win, there's gonna be some words uttered.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And I'll give Liam in those guys credit. As soon
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: as the one was there, he went right over there
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and said some stuff. But it just takes away from
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: what I think is one of the best jobs I've
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: seen in terms of coaching. Lim Coin's done a really
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: good job of getting these guys to connect. It's funny
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: you were talking about the golfers and the European guys
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and Rogerson. The biggest different with the Jags has little
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: do with the X and o's and more about the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: high demands of accountability and the connectivity amongst the team
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: players and coaches. And that's really what makes good ball.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: The best teams are the most connected, and the Jags
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: are winning because they're really connected.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting book. First of all, what a missed opportunity.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: If I was Liam Cohen, I would have tried to
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: learn the sign language to keep my name out of
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: your mouth and I would assign it to him after
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: the game. That was a missed opportunity. Uh, yeah, exactly.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: But Baldy, I'm gonna I'm gonna just get this to
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: you quick because this is the point I was going
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: to make him. Buck already got me there. Uh, had
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: a really good game. And there's a bunch of explosive runs.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: And when you go back through and watch those explosive runs,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: you know what you see And one of them you
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: see Hunter blocking his butt off Travis Hunter. On another
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: one you see BTJ blocking his butt off Strange a
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: tight end. Is it had a great he is a
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: he is a good player.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: He is physical, he is tough. But when I watch
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: teams with wide receivers and tight ends efforting in the
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: in the run game like this, that tells me that
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: you're starting to build a pretty good culture.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I agree, I agreed. I kind of felt it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I went I went to Jacksonville for OKAS this year
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: and sat up there, you know, with the GM with Baseli,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: and we watched practice and we went down and talked
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: to Liam and Campanilla and the and the staff after
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the practice. I kind of felt like that's what the
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: major emphasis was this whole off season and training camp
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: was we're building a team, and we're going to play
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: as a team.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: We're going to compete as one, and this is what
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: we need you to do.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: And the players, you know, either they buy in or
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: they kind of like, you know, have to listen to it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: But they bought into it. And honestly, they should have
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: beaten Cincinnati.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: They didn't drop so.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Many passes in that game, and they could easily be
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: undefeated right now. So you know, there's nothing like people say, well,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: everybody won't get off to a fast start, and they do,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: but the fast start to a team that's turning things
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: around with a new coach, a new GM you know, Gladstone,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: a new way of doing things. That early success is
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: paramount to keep that going, and that's where that's where
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: the confidence comes from. Is all right, this is what
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: they're preaching, this is what we're doing, and now we're
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: getting results early. All right, you know we got to
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: you know, not that it's just September, but we're going
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to get a very competitive AFC South this year.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. Man, It's a big win
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: for them San Francisco. Man, they've had a bunch of
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: different injuries. McCaffrey played well and some nice things in
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: that game. I know, you got a quarterback. He's just
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: trying to play through its turf till right, is what.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the worst performance I've seen from Purty. And
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I know because he's not off, because the things that
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: he did in that game are not typical of him.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Rush throws, eric passes, those things. He has always been
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: terrific and through them with touch, timing and anticipation, and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: he was just a little off. And when you're playing
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: a team that plays so much zone like the Jags,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: tips overthrows, interceptions and then the final part of the Niners.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: The Niners are still a terrific team and they still
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: imposed it will they make you play to the level
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: when it comes to bully ball. The one thing that
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I would say about them, they could not run the
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: football the way that they normally have been able to
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: run it. Christian McCaffrey could not get loose. Some of
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that is the Jags, but some of that is also
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that offensive line being able to dominate at the point
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: of attack. They're not the same version that we've seen
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: in the past from the Niners.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, McCaffrey did his stuff in the past game, hum
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: about six for ninety two in a touch and they
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: can't run it. And they can't they couldn't run it
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: as much. All right, let's let's get to this last game.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: We're going to have time to hit one more here
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: with Baldy. And that was a game you mentioned at
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: the top Baldy Minnesota in Pittsburgh.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, Pittsburgh hadn't been able to run
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: the ball at all.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the first three weeks this season, and they got
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: a running game with kind of Gamewell says his first start,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: and I remember our buddy Andy Widel when he signed him.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: He signed him.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Mostly because in the Super Bowl game, Gamewell had two
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: special team tackles. He thought special teams are going to
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: be important, and he made the free agent signing almost
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: But he also was always an excellent short yard and
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: goal line back. Even in the Super Bowl that they
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: lost uh to Kansas to Kansas City.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: He was really effective that year.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: And that was one of the guys that Widel drafted
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: out of Memphis, and he always had a good role
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: in Philadelphia. But yesterday they went to Spencer Anderson came
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: in as a third tackle and they used that formation
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: a lot. So you got Spencer Anderson, you got Darnell Washington,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: and they just with Beach, you know, and they fed
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: game well and they got a running gate yesterday.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: For the first I thought that was that, and then
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: the defensive line showed up. You know.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: It was her Big, it was TJ it was Hayward,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: it was Keanu Benton. Like they really got after Carson
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Wentz and forced him into some mistakes. And I thought
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: those two things were enough to win that game against
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: the Minnesota team that's talented, But they forced the mistakes
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: by Carson Wentz one of them. You know, obviously the
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: interception by TJ just you know, obviously just in a
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: spy technique right there, just coming into the middle of
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: the field that set up you know, the go ahead touchdown.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Buck.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: What do you see on that one? This one, this
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: is the one game of the ones we've talked about.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I did not get a chance to go to the tape,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: so I saw on TV.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: By d Yeah. I think that's a little slant. He
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: ran right through the defense. I think that's that's the
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: main thing.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I think it is the explosiveness of DK Metcalf being
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: able to hit him on the slant. And I will
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: say this going back to watching Aaron Rodgers and DK
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Metcalf work prior to a preseason game down in Jacksonville,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: and I tell you they worked on the route over
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and over and over again. And even though it's a
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: day one instar route to run a little slant, it
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: is the timing and the execution. And the one thing
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers went protected, particularly the short game. The
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: ball comes out on time and on target, and he
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: hit DK Metcalf. It was almost like a four by
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: one relay platon exchange. He hit it and you said,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: all this speed and the explosiveness in those things, and
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: is the offense being one that is smash mouth with
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: big play potential and then the defense being a shut
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: him down defense. And you're beginning to see this defense
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: kind of work together to get to that point. It's
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: not perfect, but the fact that they're three and one
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: while they're figuring it out bose well for them as
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: they really start to try and play their best football
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: down the stretch.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I went back through and pulled Mike Kenneth Gainwell notes
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: while you guys were talking, because I was curious to
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: go back to that draft. So he was five eight three,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: two hundred and one pounds, ran four to four to four.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: He was my seventy eighth player in that draft. He
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: opted out of twenty twenty. They used him in the
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: backfield and in the slot, so they've kind of done
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: that with a lot of those Memphis backs. Lateral quicks,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: he can run through contact, he'll spend, he's got real
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: good balance, He's elusive at fifty one catches. They use
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: him on a ton of angle routes. Got him out
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: in the route, let him get out there and do
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: that stuff. So he was somebody that had a pretty
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: fun skills that coming back out of college, someone you
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: could use as a route runner as well as somebody
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: who could carry the ball. And sometimes are these guys.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, look the guy, he's backing up the best
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: running back in football. So he got a chance to
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: get an opportunity in Baldy. That's all these guys. Man,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: you get an opportunity to be the lead dog. It's
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: up to you to make the most of it. Sounds
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: like he sure did well.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: They came in, They came in with one rushing touchdown
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: the first three weeks.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: He got two yesterday scored from the one scored from
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: the four.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: But he was always a good even before the toush
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: push really took over in Philly, like short yards and
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: goal and he was always good at just getting to
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: the crack and just you know and hitting and hint
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: both those yesterday for touchdown runs.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: The other part here DJ is, you know.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: They started the year and they got pushed all over
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: around by the Jets, and they ran the ball really
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: good against him, And there was louder Milk was out
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: there and Lowery was, well, they're going to the rookies now,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: The Armin's out there.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Why they Black's out there, Jack Sawyer, Like they're playing
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: their rookies right now, and they're on the field and
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: they're all making you know, a variety of impacts now,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Bettan in the second year, it was really good yesterday,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: it had kind of a slow start, but you're seeing
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: that rebuilt defensive line kind of rives up now and
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: we're going to see more, I think from those players.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: How about the Pittsburgh Steelers Aaron Rodgers three and one,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: first place right now in that division with Baltimore one
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: and three, so they've got some ground to make up
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: here after a little tough start. Hey, Baldy Monday's always
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: enjoy it, man, you are the best. We see it.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: We'll see it back here next week. Brother, ought to
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: talk to you, guys.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: Take care of it.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: There he goes Baldy is he is the best. It's
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: always a treat to do these episodes with him. On Mondays,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Buck you referenced it a little bit earlier. We're talking
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: off the air about my ryder Cup experience. Getting a
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: chance to go out there to Beth Page Black. I've
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: never been anything like that, so it was fun to
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: go out there. And check that out and golf individual sport.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: But obviously this is a team event, and in Europe,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: even though the US team has more quote unquote talent
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: or higher ranked players, a collection of higher rank players.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: The team portion of the event the first two days
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Europe smashes smashes America. So I'm sitting there watching this
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm kind of like putting my scouting hat on
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: and like I don't know enough about golf to be
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: able to tell who's you know, why this is happening.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: But it was interesting because I sent you a picture
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: of like watching the Europeans go around the course. The
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: two golfers competing for Europe in the doubles matches, in
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: the pair matches, they're always walking together, they're talking to together.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: There is a connectivity to them, whereas the Americans they're
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: all with their individual caddies, you know, as they're two
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: golfers with their own caddies, like the individual corporations kind
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: of you know, moving their way around the course. And
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, that's this is not about the ability
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: level to skill level. This is about connectivity. And that's
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: something that in any team sport man, you got to
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: have it. And that was something that Europe definitely had
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: in spades.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: You know, DJ is funny, right, So you hear team
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: builders talk all the time. We're trying to build the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: best team, not collect talent, and we can never underestimate
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: that part of it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: Morehen it comes to team sports, it is not about
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: having a all the A level players.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Is about having people that compliment one another, but more importantly,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: people that are connected. Can you build the chemistry within
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: the group so they feel like they're planning for something
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: beyond their own individual agendas. And looking at the Riders
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Cup because DJ, it was a blowout very very early
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: and everyone.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Was wondering like, oh my gosh, what's going on.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: So when you send that picture over and I look,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's what it is, Like, I'm really
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: connected to this person I buddy. John Gordon has talked
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: about the teams that give the most high fives and
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: fist bumps or whatever, like, they tend to win at
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a far superior rate than the counterparts because you have
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: to have we're creatures, we have to have that human
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: connection to be able to sacrifice for one another.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: It's one of those things those X factors in team.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Building that we don't talk about, but it's one of
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the things that keeps those great teams together is the
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: glue is to chemistry.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: It's glue to everything, man, no question, man. We want
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: to remind every everybody we've got a new Forties and
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Free Agent that's going to post tomorrow, So Bucky and
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: I will be back with Rhett on Wednesday. We'll have
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: the Rookie recap and the Rookie Draft on Wednesday's show,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: so we'll have plenty more coming your way this week.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: But excited to get to make KiB I might like
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: make a little fun of Rosena, all be nice about it,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: but I'll make a little fun of him on Forties
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: and Free Agents, So be on the lookout for that.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Buck.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Always fun man, and love these mondays. I think we've
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: we've really got onto something having Baldy on here, and
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: it's always a fun chat man.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: No, there's always one DJ.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: The one thing I love about Baldy is when we're
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: able to collectively have that tape watching the experience and
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: to be able to chat about it. It takes me
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: all the way back to the scouting days when you
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: used to sit in the room and not have those meetings,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: But it's when we're just casually looking at tape and
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: going through things.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: That's what this Monday reminds me of, reminds me of
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: going back in the day.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is like getting in the way back machine there.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: All right, that's going to do it for us. Hope
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: you guys enjoyed it as much as we did, and
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: we will see it tomorrow with a Forties and Free
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Agents episode, followed by a lot more Moved to six
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: coming your way the rest of the week. Thanks m
