  Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: All right, friends, we're back with another episode of Move
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Sticks. DJ is still cozied up in his bed
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: following a long, I mean long.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Trip back to the West Coast from Phoenix.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, Bucky, can you imagine how hard
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that travel must have been for him to not be
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: here at this show, you know.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: D I mean, everybody can say I can't bounce back.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Didn't have many guys that can play back to backs evidently,
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: and so DJ.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: Hey had a long night, work long? Did that answer
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: the bill? Did that answer the bill this morning? And
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: say hey, we will get up but that's okay, like
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: some guys.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Look, but basically all we could say is, you know,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: down in San Diego, it's apparently not Grit week. It
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is apparently not grit week in the Jeremiah household. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that's okay. That's okay, djail back, Grant Thos, Bucky Brooks
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: here with you after a Monday night football double header.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Fact you're watching.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The Manning cast even got a little Scott Hansen from
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Red Zone in on the Manning cast there, which was
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: kind of fun to see Scott give his little red
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: zone twist with the red alerts there as both the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: games were going on a lot of fun, and that's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: where we're going to begin. It is time for the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: lead block presented by T Mobile for Business. Football needs
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a network willing to go the extra yard, and so
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: do you so go further with T Mobile for Business.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: All Right, we got to start with you know, look
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a game I think we thought was kind of the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Marquee matchup, one of the Marquie matchups really of the week,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and it was the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa bay Bucks.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: But boy, oh boy, the Ravens are a wagon. I mean,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, five Tuddies. We got Derrek Henry going over
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a buck sixty on the ground, Bucky. They had five five,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: almost five hundred yards of total offense in like fifty plays.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Look, I'm trying not to be a prisoner of the moment,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: but right, I'll look, this is about as good as
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: we've seen this offense looks. And the thing is they're
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: doing it differently, but they're still the same. Meaning from
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: a cultural standpoint, they still want to be a physical,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: smash mob team. They still want to run the football,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: but they're just doing it in such a different style
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: than they did it. I would say in Greg romans heyday,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: with Lamar Jackson playing at an MVP level, then not
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: as much zone read, but just a very creative and
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: dynamic running game. But I tweeted this in the middle
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: of the game. I don't know if there's a more
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: perfect marriage than Derrick Henry joining the Baltimore Ravens to
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: play the role that he's playing within the scheme that
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: he's playing again for the team, and the culture that
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: he's also participating in the rest of the league.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Let that happen.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: But the Baltimore Ravens are certainly the biggest beneficiaries of
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: a two time rushing champion joining their squad while Steel
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: playing I guess in his.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Prime, I mean, my goodness, eleven yards of pop.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously the eighty one yard run had a lot to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: do with it, but still fifteen carries, buck sixty nine
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: on the ground, Lamar just Lamar had as many touchdown
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: passes as he did incompletions in the game.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: That was fine. And you know what's kind of interesting.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, we.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Talked a lot about you know, Za Flowers last year, right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, even though Mark Andrews you know, had a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: very quiet, you know, first quarter of the season, really
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: started to come on the last couple of weeks. Two
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: touchdowns in this last game, Justice Hill is I think
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a bigger piece of the attack now that Derrick Henry
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is there in the backfield. And then look like Rashad
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Bateman has been like the forgotten man on this offense.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Let's not forget he was a first round draft pick
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for this team, and here he goes for four and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, a fifty nine yarder like this, This Ravens
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: offense kind of feels like in a different way, but Bucky, like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: stop me if I'm wrong here. It kind of feels
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like the Lions in that they have so many different
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ways that they can beat you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Wide outs, running backs, the whole thing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: They are really the complete package on offense and they're
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: doing it and I would say a very creative but
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: an understated way. Right, Like everyone gets touches, everyone is
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: getting the ball. It's not one person dominating all of
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: the action. They just find a way to keep all
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: their playmakers engaged and involved, and it makes it very
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: difficult for the defense. To deal with, because when you
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: start out, you have to have a plan for dealing
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson in every combination of
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: option plays, bootleg plays, whatever it is that they want
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: to do to make you defend both, it starts there,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and then they have the right pieces around them with
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the two tight ends, you got to play makers. They Flowers,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the emergence of Raja Bateman as a dependable high end receiver.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, they throw a lot at you, but I
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: think they're going to have to continue to play like
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: this and to their defense and get back to playing
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: the style of the ball that we used to see
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: him from them. But offensively, they're as good as it
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: gets in the national football team.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And it's so kind of interesting to watch this thing
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with the bus. I mean, they're up ten to nothing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: into the first quarter. You know at home, you're like,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, like them showing up, jumping them right, Yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Mike Evans catches the twenty five yard tuddy
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and then the Ravens score thirty four unanswered points in
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: about twenty minutes a game time.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Like one o'clock.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was just an absolute assault at that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: point with with with the rains and then like in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, like give it to the box. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: mean they kept kind of comming, they kept comming at them.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But this this was not as close as the ten
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: point margin would would lead you to believe. I feel
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: like in this game.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know the Bucks give them credit for
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: fighting back at the end, ye kind of getting into
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the mix.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: But it was a very costly Uh oh, tim boy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: That can call the game because not only do you
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: lose Mike Evans, but then at the end of the game,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I mean you talk about like the waning moments of
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the contest.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Forty seconds you lose Chris Godwin.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: And the bad thing about it, like there is I mean,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: people are going to ty bowles for Wise in the
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: game and those things. But you have to remember only
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: fifty three man roster. Mike Evan goes down, so you
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: don't know how many wide receivers you have activated. Godwin
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: is up and you look, it's the nightmare scenario for
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: every here at coach is to have someone get hurt
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: in garbage time. So unfortunately, Chris Godwin suffers a look
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: what appears to be a very catastrophic injury just located
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: ankle and just all bad man. It's just look, your
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: heart goes out for Chris Godwin. You kind of feel
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: bad for Todd Bowles for being in that situation. And look,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I just wanted a team that was well positioned to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: be a playoff team to maybe win the division.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Where did they go from here?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Without like I would say, one receiver one beat available
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: while receiver one A is sitting on the sideline nurse
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: in a hamstring.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And I think I'll get to that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in a second. It's it is a tough one for
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, right, who may have now played his last
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: game as a Tampa Bay buccaneer, which which makes it
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: all the more difficult because he's got a void. Uh.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: He essentially becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and you know, he's had a he's had a season
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: ning injury before, right, and and come back for it,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: come back strong. And you know, you could see him
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mouthing on the cart as he's going off to the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: trainer in the back. He's like, Okay, back to work now,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and that's you know, as he's getting carted off the field,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I just what a great dude, What a great, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: know receiver he has been for this franchise. If that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is in fact the end, he has I mean, made
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: an immeasurable impact on that team in the years that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he has been there. I hope it's not hope he
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: gets to run it back again, just kind of like
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans did. And now you know, who knows what
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans hamstring injury. They can get an mr to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: kind of determine what's going on there and how long
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: he's going to be out. But here's the thing that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: keeps the Bucks afloat the NFC South. Oh yeah, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: mean there's nobody running away with this division. I mean
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you essentially count the Panthers out at this point, the Saints,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what's going on there?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: In a five game losing streak, and you know it's the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Bucks and the Falcons, and the Falcons just lost to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Seattle at home, and now it's like, okay, well, you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: know the Bucks are four and three, like it's you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it's not the end of the world, and you've got
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to find a way to kind of set aside the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: emotion of losing two bona fide leaders of your team
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: one perhaps for the season, the other for maybe a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks and figure out a way to manufacture
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: victories and stay afloat here.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Man, it is so tough to like say, hey, this
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: is how we're going to go about it, this is
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: what we're gonna do. But that's what they have to do.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: They have to figure out a way to continue to
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: make it happen. And you're right, the NFC South is
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: wide open for them. It's there for them to take it. Defensively,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: they certainly can make it very messy for everyone. They
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: had a competing whip and namely as the Atlanta Falcons.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: It'll be tough. But with the trade deadline coming and
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: a snag a wide receiver, maybe Mike Williams to kind
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: of temporarily fill the void at their wide receiver spot.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Do they have enough cap space to be able to
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: do that, But I think they have to at least
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: explore the possibilities of adding a wide receiver that can
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: kind of make them hole while the number one gap,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Mike Evans, is on the sideline.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Indeed, so we'll we'll kind of keep an eye on
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: how the Bucks move forward here as they deal with
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: injuries to keep players. I mean, one thing to keep
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in mind is that they kind of now have like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: three guys though in the backfield.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Rashad White came on, you know, at a big day
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: through the air.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He caught two touchdowns from Baker Mayfield, I know one
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of them was late in that kind of you know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that run up. And then Bucky Irving has been really
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: good as a rookie. Sean Tucker, the second year player
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: out of Syracuse, we were already talking about last week.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe they can kind of morph a little bit
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: offensively into something, you know, that accentuates the guys that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: are going to be available for them on the field.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Let's move to the second game here, Buck and the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: second game, of course, featured DJ's Chargers going.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: On the road all the way, I mean all.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: The way, all the ways.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Glendale Arizona to be to be accurate there where the Cardinals,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you know, came in at three and three. Chargers, you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: came in at three and two and now leave at
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: three and three. After Arizona comes up with kind of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a gritty win, seventeen to fifteen win on a last
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: second field goal from Chad Ryland.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: It was all field goals for the Chargers.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Cameron Dicker hit five field goals, they could not get
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone. In fact, their best
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: player on offense in this on this day was Will
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Disley eight catches eighty one yards, a guy we don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: think about a lot in the past.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Game that way, Buck.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So let's let's first start with the Cardinals and James
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Connor at a big day, like would you see from
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that unit and that outfit to get this win?
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: And the Cardinals continue to be like a team that
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: can surprise, you know, they have these ups and downs
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: where one week they played really well, the next week
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: you just don't know what you're getting. But I give
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon a lot of credit as Calin Murray is
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: rounding in the form and really getting back to the
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Klin Murray that was offensive Rookie of the Year, a
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: gut that has played at a Pro Bowl level. This
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: offense can do a few different things, and even though
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: he didn't have a magical performance, it's thread of him
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: being able to do it as a runner and as
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: a thrower that assess up some things. But James Connor
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: having one hundred yard game, being able to average over
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: five yards to carry the physicality and the toughness.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: That he brings.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: It was just enough for an offense that really couldn't
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: find his sea legs early, but did just enough to
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: win the game in the end of the Fourth War.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a good way to put it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The ups and downs, Like they got to find a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: way to kind of flatten out that bell curve because
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they do the highs and the lows here, and I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: think that's the sign of a good team is to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: kind of limit well, certainly to limit the lows. I mean,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: like you certainly live with the highs, but they need
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to find a bit more consistency and how they're kind
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: of going about their business in these games. You look at,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the numbers, and it's like it wasn't overly
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: impressive really from anybody mentioned. You know, James Connor had
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: maybe the best individual performance you know, of the day.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: In fact, you know, he was.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: The guy I think that punched out the football from
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: tier Tart when he had the interception early in the game,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Like tier Tart picked off Kyler Murray and then I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: think it was Connor knocked the ball out. Cardinals recovered,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: so they avoided having a you know, a turnover there
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: early in the game, and you know they end up
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: getting their first touchdown from Greg Dortch. Again, Marvin Harrison
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: kind of limited in this game. Three catches, twenty one yards,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: just didn't have a ton of big time performances. But
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: again credit to them for figuring out a way to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: get the win. Kyler Murray again with one of those
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: long runs forty four yards for score for the Chargers.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, justin Herbert throws for three hundred and forty
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: nine yards that you can't get it into the end zone.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: What do you make of that?
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean some of it is by design in
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: terms of what the Cardinals were doing defensively. I didn't
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: mind conceding, and the fact that you know, it's funny
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: when you look at the stat sheet.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: There is not a notable name that has a big day.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of by a committee that he gets
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: twenty seven receptions three hundred and forty nine yards.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's different.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: But what always is kind of the litmus tests or
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the tailtale for the charge will be the running game.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Twenty two carries only fifty nine yards like that, that's
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: not enough to do it any football the way the
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: way that they want to get it done.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: That's not going to do it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Averaging two point seven yards per carry that is not enough.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: And when you think about how they're trying to do
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: it to grind it out, the longest run was eleven yards.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: It's hard to win football in the National Football win
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: games in the Nation Football League when you don't have
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: an explosive play on the ground.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: And they are not getting the explosive plays. And you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: after you see the success that JK. Dobbins had early,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: man just botted them up and they made it a
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: very one dimensional game for the Chargers, and it's not
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the dimension that they want to rely on, which is
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: a passing game.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean I'm looking at this, you know now,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: only one trip to the red zone, right, only one
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: trip on five scoring possessions, and that one ended at
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the Arizona ten yard line. The other possessions end at
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the Arizona forty four, the forty one, the thirty two,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the Arizona forty six, the Arizona twenty nine, the Arizona
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: twenty two. Like they really that Cardinals defense, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: perhaps by design, as you're talking about, really kind of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: stiffened up when they got a little bit, you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: closer into their own ends. So see if the Chargers
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: can figure out a way to kind of punch through,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you know, that ceiling when they get in close and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to put a put the football on
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the paint, can't settle for three in those situations. The
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Chargers finish six of fourteen on third down, and that's again,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that's not quite winning football. I'd like to see that now.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's almost fifty percent, I guess. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: mean you could have worse, certainly. I mean, the Cardinals
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: only converted two third downs in this game. It's still
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in the winnings, So I mean sometimes it's just kind of,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like who can make a play
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: for us in a in a big spot.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And the Chargers just didn't seem to have it in
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: that one. Okay.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So everybody is back in next week, so a chance
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: for both the Chargers and the Bucks to recover as
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: they go into Week eight in the NFL. For the Chargers,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a matchup at home against the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: two and five Saints, and then for the Bucks they'll
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: try to get back on track. Is a big one
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: against the Falcons next week, and they'll get the They'll
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: get the Falcons in Tampa at home, and then for
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the winners, the Ravens are traveling a ball to Cleveland
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to battle the Browns, and then for the Cardinals, they'll
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: head down to Miami to take on the Dolphins. Okay,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: so that right there is a rap for the lead
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: block presented by T Mobile for Business. Football needs a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: network willing to go the extra yard, and so do you,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so go further with T Mobile for Business.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: All right, we're.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Gonna take a quick break and when we come back,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it's time for the Week seven Rookie Draft recap and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the Week eight actual draft that's next.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Well, it's good. It's a good thing.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing uh, wearing my Hoosiers gear here because we
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: are winning in that regard. Did not win in the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: rookie draft. Uh this week, Bucko used to dominate.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Dominate. You went Drake May and dominated.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna gets myself that's hard.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Well, you had one on both sides, right you You
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: won with both Drake May and Brian Thomas Junior. So
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: you got three points there. Uh, and then you probably
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: would have won if we had just chosen running backs,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: because Bucky Irving ends up with sixteen Fantasy points. But
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I end up winning that round because I had brought
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Bowers end up scoring nineteen, so he gave me three points.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: DJ remember had the first pick. It took Jade and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Daniels unfortunately got injured.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Part of the game. Injuries part of the game week
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to week for Jayden Daniels.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Hope he is back. So that didn't work out. He
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: got one point or what do we give him a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: point for.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Participation? Kind of like it?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I guess I guess we did, yeah, because he give
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: him looking at him as as third in everything, So
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that's that's the way it works. Right now, Bucky's got
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the lead thirty two overall points. DJ and I are
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: tied for second at twenty or tied for last. However
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you want to look at it with twenty six points
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: after week seven, so Nebil is going to fearlessly make
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: picks for DJ here and I am going to have
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the second pick. You're going to have the first pick Bucky.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: So it's going to go Bucky me and then DJ
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: will go back to back with no Bill picking our
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: race producer in his stead.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: All right, no buys this week, Bucky.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Only injury that we're dealing with is Jaden Daniels, which
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: kind of does throw a wrench in a little bit
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: of our draft strategy.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Here. Where are you going with the first pick?
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: You know, Red, this is This is tough, right, because
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: normally you always want to go chalk when you have
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: the number one overall pick. Uh.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: The easy pick would be to.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Say, hey man, I'm gonna take Kaya Williams. I know
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: it's a battle between potential rookies with Jayden Daniels, but
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: then I'm looking at bo Nick's taking on the Carolina Panthers,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: and I'm just looking at how everyone has had like a.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Lot of fun, and there's a part of me that
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: is pulled in that direction. But I don't want to
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: get too cheous. I'm gonna take Kaya Williams. But it
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: was a thought. I was thinking about it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: But just okay, so you can do it, all right.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we get that rookie versus rookie matchup at quarterback
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: with Kayla and the Bears going to landover Maryland to
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: battle what we hope is Jayden Daniels and the Commanders
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: but I can't in good faith make that selection, or
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I suppose I could. I suppose I could, although, like
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: what if he gets hit again and he goes he
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: has to go out, you know, because maybe I could
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: sub one out if Jayden does, in fact play, I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to do that. I
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: don't know if I want to do that right now.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do, uh in this case is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the fact.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I got the Jags playing the Packers this week,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: stay away from.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior. I got the Giants playing this elite
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: neighbors playing the Steelers this week.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That's not great.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I think what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna take
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the safest pick right now. Oh man, we got brock
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Bauers playing the Chiefs.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, these are tough matchups here, guys.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Goodness gracious, that's what it should be.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: It should be very tough, it be challenging.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose it good.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, So with that in mind, I'm gonna go back
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and take Gosh, I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Melik Neighbors.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I just I feel like there's gonna be something there,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and uh give me Melik Neighbors to get back on
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: track here with the Giants.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: So that means DJ's up with two picks. Who you
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: got Nobil? All right?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Nobile is gonna take brock Bowers with one. I just
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: think if you're the if you're the Chiefs, like, that's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: all you're That's all you're scared of is brock Powers.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And he's gonna go BETJ. So he's gonna go brocking
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: BETJ two favorite on the mo.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whoa, what what? What? What are we doing? BTJ
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: is supposed to be my guy?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, you're not gonna get it. You're not
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: gonna get it, all right. So I think what I'm
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: gonna do here is probably take a look at the quarterback.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: So I've got the choice. I've got Drake May against
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Matchups are not not great. Or bow Nicks
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: against the Pants. Give me bo Nix against the Panthers. Baby,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: let me have it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Give me Bo Nicks.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I gave you, I gave you. I gave you that pick.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you did, like you just I mean,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I just get points for that if it if it works.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Out, yeah, yeah, maybe you can get an agent fee
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: on that one.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: All right, So you got back to backers to close
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: it out here, Buck, So you've got your quarterback, you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: need two skill position players.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Sixth and seventh pick of this draft.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Right now, I'm I'm really at a loss because you
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: guys took my security blanket.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you gonna do? I mean, let's just
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: let's take a look here.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Let's well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking the forty
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: nine ers, and I'm thinking Ricky pearsall wow, I'm thinking
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: pretty richy is because I got Deebo Samuel who doesn't
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: feel well. I have Brandon Nyuk whiz out. I have
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: John Jennings who's unavailable.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we okay, I.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Gotta throw it to somebody. Pearsol, come on down.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: We got to figure out a way to get him in.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: We're just gonna let's go slick, Rick, come on, pay me.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: So we got we got Pierce, we got Pearceal on deck,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: and now you know I couldn't get Oh you know what,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I could get him. I'm gonna do it two for one.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna do Caleb Williams and Roma Doomsday. Oh I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: gonna say that he targets the gup early and often
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: and somehow they find a way to get into the pay.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Interesting, that's interesting.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I don't really have a choice. I mean, he guys
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: out there. Not a lot of Ricky's out there putting
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: up big numbers.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: No, no, there isn't.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: And then Marma Harrison Junior with the concussion. I don't
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: know when he's gonna be available.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean like he was.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You know, he's back this week, but it just didn't
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: feel like he was all the way back. You know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: he's healthy, but like involved in the offense, it just
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: didn't feel totally right there. And so what I'm gonna
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: do then is.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Oh and a tough week for the rookies.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm thinking here is I'm gonna
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: go back to the well with Bucky Irving. So you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: give me Bucky Irving here to continue to be a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: bigger piece of the Bucks offense. Bucky Irving and the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Bucks taking on the Falcons in a big game. Oh no,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Bill is doing the is doing the kind of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: slick move here. He's gonna say, I'm gonna take Jaydon
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Daniels for DJ and if he doesn't.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, you gotta make it big.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: You don't get you don't get to have option one to.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Come on, Yeah, what are we doing? It is tough.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: It is tough, all right.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I think what we're gonna do is is we're gonna
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: say we're gonna give DJ Drake May. We're just gonna
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: make an executive decision here and you're gonna yeah, that's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you can't you can't do that with a number one pick. Okay,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: so you're gonna go, DJ gets Drake May, mark it down.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: That's where that's where we're at with this one. I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: appreciate your effort on that one to Bil and I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: know DJ would have appreciated it too. But we're gonna
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: make the executive decision because he decided not to show
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: up today.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's where wrapping no stick and lobster there, it
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: is no surf and turf today. All right. That's good.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Do it for us here on this episode of Move
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the Sticks. But of course back with each and every
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: day this week. So for Bucky Brooks, I'm reet Lewis
