  Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Rhett back with you. Week one is in the books,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and I would say it ended with a bang. I mean,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that was one of the more emotionally roller coastery rides
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that I can remember for a Monday night football game.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Week one, Buck, What in the world. I mean, I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: still trying to bring all this stuff in that we
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: saw last night. It was a lot.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: There was a lot. And you can hear my dog
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: in the background, she's saying this a lot because of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: all the stuff that we saw, not only on Monday night,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: but throughout the course of the weekend. There is nothing
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: like the National Football League. We think we know coming
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: out of the preseason, but we really have no idea
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: what's going to take place when they kick it off
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: for real.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Look, guys, I mean I was at Jets camp. You know.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Chances are you guys were there at some point in
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: time based on all that we talked about, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: with this Jets team coming into this season.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I was on the on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: The pregame show for the Giants Jets preseason game that
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: we had live on NFL Network. You know, the amount
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: that we had talked about anticipated, got excited for what
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: was about to be this season debut of a year
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: that you know, we expected to have such huge expectations
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: for this Jets team. I felt like I was invested,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: you know, and then now I'm just you know, I think,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: like everyone, you know, your your heart just kind of sank. Obviously,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: you feel terrible for Aaron and for everyone who put
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: in that much time to make this season you know
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: all that it could be for the Jets. But now
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: it's like, all right, we got to move past this thing, right,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: we got sixteen games left. Let's figure out a way,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you know, to salvage this season, because you know, they
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: do have a ton of talent.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you guys, man, and we'll jump into this game.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I was actually visiting someone in the hospital watching the game.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So I'm watching this game and I did not I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: got there. I literally got in my car. I'm driving
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to the hospital and it's there's like now twelve minutes
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: ago in the first quarter, and I turn on the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: radio and it's like Zach Wilson drops back to pass,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and I kind of just was like I'm in the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: car by myself, going like, wait, what what's going on?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Like I was totally lost, trying to catch up on
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the news. So then fast forward to the end of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the game. I'm in the hospital. It's late, you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: obviously it's it's it's in overtime, even though we're on
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the West coast. He takes that punt back and I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: just like jump out of my seat like, oh my gosh.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And then I realized you can't scream like that, oh
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: my gosh when you're in a hospital that somebody, the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: nurse is gonna come crashing in there and think something's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: gone terribly wrong. It was, Yeah, it was. It was surreal.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The whole thing was bizarre. But Buck, I guess I'll
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: kick it over to you. First of all, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is hope lost for this Jets team and where do
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: they go? You know, in your opinion, if you had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to make this next decision, this is going to be
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: critical for them. What do you do?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Oh? I think you stand pat. You may bring in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback to obviously back up Zach Wilson, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: part of your confidence one of the reasons why you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: didn't trade Zack Wilson ways because you felt like he
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: had some value and you felt like, after listening to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, at some point he was going to handle
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a time back and the keys to the offense back
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to Zack Wilson. Not this year, maybe not next year,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: but in a couple of years. The expectations that Zach
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Wilson was going to continue to be the franchise quarterback.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I would rally around Zach Wilson. If I'm Robert Slin
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the offensive staff, Let's build him up because throughout the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: course of the preseason, Zach Wilson looked like a different guy.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Watching him play last night against the Buffalo Bills, he
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: looked like a more mature quarterback at the position. Was
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it perfect, No, but he certainly was more decisive, more confident,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: avoided a big mistake, and found a way to win
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: game a game that maybe he wouldn't have won last year.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: If you're Robert Sala and those guys, this is part
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of why they pay you the salary that they pay
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you to be the head coach. Your job is to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: solve problems. You now have a problem at quarterback. The
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: solution should be Zack Wilson. But now how do we
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: fix the team to win with Zack Wilson in quarterback
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: instead of Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, I think I don't know, DJ, You're
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: going to get into this based on what you saw
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: from Zach Wilson and from this offense once Aaron Rodgers
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: went down. But but I think you kind of saw
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the form, right, you kind of you got a taste
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: of it in game. And I think until you can
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: get this offense and you get Zach and Nathaniel Hackett
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: to kind of, you know, work this thing out together
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: and find their best course forward, you know, in the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: past game and throughout, you know, and that's good to me.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: It's gonna take some time, right, It's gonna take a
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks. So until then, you ride bres Hall,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: you ride Dalvin Cook, you ride Michael Carter like those.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: That run game was terrific last night. I mean Brice
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: obviously had the eighty three yard run, which was awesome,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: but then you know, came back in the next you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: nine carries were still pretty solid.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook, you know, didn't get it going as much
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: in the run game, but you can rely on him
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: in the past game too.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I think I think what.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: You're you know, part of what you going to see
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: is what you saw in the wake of the Aaron
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Rodgers injury, and until Zach and Nathaniel Hackett and the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: offensive staff can figure out a path forward of comfortability
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: in the past game, you ride it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: You ride it out because that the.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Offensive line, for as shaky as they might have been
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: throughout the preseason DJ you know, in the in pass
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: pro I mean like it looked pretty dang good in
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: the run game.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this was the first time getting that specific
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: five out there together. So I think you'll see them
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it provided they can stay healthy get better. They do
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have a little depth. Joe Tipman's not starting for them
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: right now. They're rookie who's going to be a really
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: good player. Along the interior. They have Vara Tucker who
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: can slide out and play tackle if needed, So they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of depth there. They just need
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to stay healthy if they can. Up front, a couple
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of things bresee Hall you mentioned him, reht He played
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: seventeen snaps. Seventeen snaps, he had one hundred and forty
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: seven total yards. I mean, goodness, crazious, and people need
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to remember go back to last year. We know how
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it ended last year with Zach Wilson and the Jets.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: They couldn't win a game, They couldn't move the ball,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he got benched. It was a nightmare. But look at
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: what happened when they had a Vera Tucker in the lineup.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Look at what happened when they had Breece Hall in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the lineup. They were winning games with Zach Wilson not
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: really asking him to do a whole lot early on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the season. Now fast forward to this year. You've
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: got Vera Tucker back. You've got Briece hallback. Now you've
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: got Mackay Beckton, who you didn't have last year. Now
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you've got Dalvin Cook as well. You've got Lazard, who
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is an unbelievable blocker who he helps the run game
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: as well, and he's a trustworthy target you can get
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the ball to. They played a bunch of thirteen personnel.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: They had three tight ends on the field. Jeremy Ruckert
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is going to be a really good player. But when
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you look at Uzama, Conklin and Rutgert, they can give
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you some nightmares matchup wise. What they're doing in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: run game and then maybe spreads you out a little
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: bit in the past game. I think this offense with
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett looks on first blush to be a better
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: fit for Zach. They're going to really incorporate the screen game.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They're going to bake in some easy completions for him.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But I want to give Zach a little bit of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: credit here because I felt like watching it and listening
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to the broadcast was almost like, oh my gosh, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: everything that happened good was somebody else's to somebody else's credit,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and everything that went bad was his fault. And I'm like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: hold up. There's a third and five conversion where he
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: throws a corner route to Garrett Wilson. It's a key conversion,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm watching this buck and when you see it
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on TV, you're like, oh, he underthrew it and kind
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of got him on the back shoulder. He had to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: go down and cradle and catch it. And then you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: watch the tape this morning and I see, look, you've
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: got the corner to Davis White, who's sinking underneath that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He throws that on target.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It's picked.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: He actually did a nice job of pulling him away
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: from the defender. It was a good throw. He had
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a couple other nice conversions, So I think there's there's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: things in place to help him and Buck, I'll get
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it to you on this one. I think the most
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: important piece that's there for him that wasn't there last
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: year is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers needs to stay invested
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: here because the two questions, the two issues was Zach
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: more than anything else, decision making and confidence, and I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers can help in both those departments.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Absolutely can help him. The best job that I think
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has done in looking at it through hard knocks,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: he has been the mentor to Zach Wilson that every
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: young quarterback needs. He has worked with Zach Wilson to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: understand how to go through the progressions when the dollar
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: it up and be more of a risk taker and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: win the game is in hand and when you can
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: be conservative and you just make good decisions. He needs
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to be around because Zach Wilson has certainly made a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: tremendous amount of progress from the beginning of the offseason
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to now. He looks like a much different player than
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the one that we saw the last time he was
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: on the field in twenty twenty two. That needs to continue.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: But you pointed out Breese Hall. Look, when I look
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: at Breeshall, Breese Hall has some vintage Levean bell, And
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want the Ess fans to freak out because
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the Levon Bell that showed up in New York is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: not the one that I'm alluding to. I'm talking about
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the one that played in Pittsburgh, the one that was
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: crafty and shifty and has a knack for getting to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the next level. Breese Hall looks like a superstar running back. Well,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: now you take Breese Hall Dalvin Cook, you run the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: football behind that big offensive line. You now change the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: magic number from maybe thirty rushing attempts to thirty eight
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to forty, and you just commit to We're going to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: run the football down upon his throats, much like Kyle
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Shanahan does with the Niners. You play defense behind that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and find a handful of concepts that Zach Wilson can execute. Well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking the number two overall pick to play
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: like Rock Purty, but what I'm asking Robert solid to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: do is to look at this colleague, Kyle Shanahan, and
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: figure out how they got brock Purdy to play well
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and implement a similar strategy to give Zach Wilson to
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: play at a high level for the Jets and still
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: find a way to win win games in New York.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: There's a way to win with this offense. But it
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: was playing to see last night. This is a championship
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: caliber defense that the Jets have. I mean, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you get Quincy Williams, you know, in DJ Reid, you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: combining for like twenty one tackles on the day, quinnin
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: you know, is I mean quinnin forced that last I
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: think it was actually the second interception from Josh Allen,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: which we'll get to here in just second, and then
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: you know it was Quentnin absolutely destroyed the center and
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: you know, Josh threw up a prayer into double coverage
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: that got picked off, and you know, you get Jermaine
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Johnson in with the sack, you know, and Quentin Jefferson
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: might end up being one of the better you know
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: acquisitions of this offseason. Two sacks on the night for
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: himself as well. Jordan Whitehead like Josh Allen like, is
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: it is it a problem with seeing the number three?
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Is it like an invisibility situation. The three interceptions all
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: to number three in white. I mean, just to kind
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: of connect the dots with Zach Wilson and Josh, I mean,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Zach out played Josh Allen. Zach operated better within the
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: offense that he was running that Josh Allen did. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: you know, Josh said as much himself, he was the
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: reason they lost this game. You know that he said
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: it a number of different ways, a number of different times, and.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: He's absolutely right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It felt eerily similar to the problems that they had
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: on offense a year ago, barely running the ball, throwing
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: it forty two times a game and forcing balls into
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you know, double coverage, clearly bad decisions at times, and
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: then that last interception might have been both bad decision,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: bad throw the whole deal. I'm a little concerned about
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: where this Bill's offense is going to take this team
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: this year. A DJ's because those three interceptions from Josh
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Allen are you know, those are unacceptable?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's it's a combination of the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: two things. And you know, I've had I feel that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of questions about man that this Chargers defense
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: can't be this bad against the Miami Dolphins. Are they
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: really that bad? I'm like, well, you know what, the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: other side of his Miami's offense is really good. Now.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: This Jets defense is loaded, they are stacked, and they
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: were hitting him repeated. They got to him five times
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a sack and they hit him nine other time or
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: nine times total. And I think what happens sometimes is
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a quarterback when you've got pressure like that, and then
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're able to elude the pressure
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit and you feel like you've bought time.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: You feel like somebody's got to be opened down the field,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like I just got out of this maze and somehow
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I've survived, Like where's my shot? Well, the thing is
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the Jets are doing this, They're getting this pressure with
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: four guys, sometimes five guys. They still have coverage on
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the back end. And I think he just got too greedy,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: too aggressive. You know, in college at Wyoming we referred
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to a little bit as some hero ball. Well, this
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you've got to understand as you mature, understand there there's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: different paths to the finish line on a weekly basis
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, buck and this was a game that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: didn't require that from him. He didn't need to play
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: hero ball. They needed to run the ball and punt.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: At one point in time, that's all they really felt
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: like they had to do. I mean, they had this
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Jets offense trying to find themselves. The stadium was dead.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: You know, you just had you know, Aaron Rodgers. It
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: felt like this is let's just complete balls, let's run
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the football. Any drive that ends in a punt or
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a kick is a successful drive. The one thing you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: can't do is turn it over. And he did it
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: four times. So that to me just showed a little
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: bit of a life lack of growth and maturity that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: we were hoping to see.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, lack of maturity, lack of growth. But I'm gonna
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: bring this up and it'll be something to watch the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: rest of the year. Sean McDermott decided to become the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: defensive play caller this year after Leslie Fraser stepped away
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: from it. And what I worry about with Sean McDermott
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: doing this is can he stay on top of calling
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the defense while managing the overall picture of the game.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Meaning in this situation, perhaps if he had a defensive
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: coordinator he could then call in the Ken dors and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: say we got this game under control. The only thing
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: we need to do is drain the clock, take care
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: of the ball, and let's just get out of here
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: with a win. We don't need to worry about stats.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: We don't need to worry about how many yards that
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen has. Let's just do what we need to
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: do to get out of here. One of the things
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to monitor when you become the guy that is also
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: calling plays, you're so entrenched to that one side of
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the ball that sometimes you miss the bigger picture when
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it comes to complimentary football play. I wonder will Sean
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: McDermott be distracted by the added responsibilities that he put
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: on his plate, but being the defensive coordinator as opposed
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to the CEO that he was when he managed the offense,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: defense and special teams and coordinated those groups to make
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: sure this team was always in the best position to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: win the game.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: And here's the thing, the last thing I'll say on Josh,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: and I think that's you know, that's a fair point,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: by the way, to wonder, you know, and to follow
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: down the stretch here, bucky about you know, how Sean
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: mcdermoy continues to manage the game as a head coach
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and a defensive play caller moving forward, my guess is
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: he's going to figure that out. And my guess is
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen is probably going to figure it out too.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen how much better than this he
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: can be and seen it, you know, for an entire season,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: just a couple of years ago.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I mean last year.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I know at times felt like we saw games like
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: this and he alluded to it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, you go back into this game alone and you.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: See that phenomenal scramble he has about to go out
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: of bounds and finds a way to sneak it in
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: to Stepan Diggs in the back of the end zone
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: for a touchdown, and I just like, obviously, I can't
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: imagine how difficult it is, no, when you can make
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: a play like that and then trying to dial it
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: back when you know, when you know you don't necessarily
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: have to because you've done it so many different times.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: So I get that that part of it is probably
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: a little bit difficult, but man, Yeah, and you got
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: to have that game situation awareness, knowing where you're at
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: and knowing what's required of you just to go out
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: there and get away.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, look, it's one week the Bills. They're
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: going to be okay. The defense is really good. You
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: go back and watch the tape. They're gonna be They're
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be really good on that side of the ball.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And Joshua he'll he'll learn from this, He'll grow. The
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: ability is ridiculous. I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about the Bills.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Just yet another quarterback on the positive side of things
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: that deserves some praise. And it was another one we
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: were looking forward to seeing. We didn't know what we
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: were going to get. Was Jordan Love making his debut
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. This was a big win
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for them on the road. You see the numbers right here,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty seven, two forty five, three touchdowns in
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a game where I thought he got better and better
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and better, and the numbers are going to come up
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to compare him to you know, Aaron Rodgers and his debut,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: both both big wins. Obviously, Rodgers in a blowout fashion
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: thirty seven to three, but again the number is very
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: comparable to twenty seven to two forty five Rogers, two
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and a pick, Love with three t ds. Let
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: me get to red on this one first, just what
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: you saw from Jordan Love versus what you expected to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: see from Jordan Love.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: You know, I think it was kind of right on
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: par because I think we've seen some of this, you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: if you go out and you know you watch, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: some of what he was able to do in training
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: camp the last couple of years and in preseason at times,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: you know, this year.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: But what we did see was.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Something that that Josh Allen didn't have the luxury of,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: which was barely any pressure on him in this game.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: You know, just felt like the Bears just weren't able
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: to get any pressure. I mean, you watched that first
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: touchdown pass that he throws to Romeo Dobbs. You know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: they're down at the five yard line where we expected
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: things to get sped up a little bit, and he's
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: just kind of back there. He pat it a little bit,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: he steps up in the pocket with no real threat
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: at the pocket collapsing. You know, you got Romeo Dobbs
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: is running like a triple move in the end zone here.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: To get open. By the way, it was fantastic route.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Eventually comes wide open in the middle of the field,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and you know you're feeling pretty dang good, clean pocket,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: good throw, all the money, touchdown, and man, he got
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: off and run in with some good confidence early on
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: in that game. And look, I know that the fifteen
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: to twenty seven, you know, makes you think like, ah, well,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, just over fifty percent completion.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: That's not that great.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I thought he made some big throws in the game,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: made all the throws he needed to really make in
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: this game for his team to come out with the W.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: So in terms of expectation, DJ I thought it was
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: right on for a guy who'd been in this program
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: and been in this system and been with Matt Lafleur
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: now for a number of years, finally getting his shot
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: felt like he had that experience.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I watched the tape and to me, I thought did
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a nice job of really slowing things down. His lower body.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He was, he was, he was where his feet were,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: He wasn't too skittish. He got more comfortable with that
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: as the game went along. He saw him climb up
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: in the pocket. He just looked like somebody that the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: game it slowed down for that's the benefit of say,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: you get a chance to understand and master your offense.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You get a chance to study defenses for a few years,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: he looked like somebody who had that poise. Now he
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: still misfired, missed a couple shots that he's got to make,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you know, accuracy wise, this is you know, if we
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: put up the board compared to Aaron Rodgers, like, this
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: is not Aaron Rodgers. He's not as pinpoint accurate as
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: he is. But I thought he was comfortable. I thought
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: he was poised and and I thought one of the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: differences in that game when you watched it versus some
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of these other quarterbacks that struggled this week, I thought
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they were. They did a nice job. The floor did
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: buck of dialing up the shot play and had it
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: steamed up beautifully. I mean they had the tight end.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: He must crave his wide open. There's nobody within forty
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: yards of him. Actually wasn't a great throat. It should
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: have been a touchdown from Jordan Love. But I thought
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: they were. They were. They were very specific and targeted
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: with when they want to take their shots, and they
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: hit him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: They absolutely hit him. I wrote about the Green Bay
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Packers on Friday, talking about them being one of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: sleeper teams that we need to keep an eye on
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: that could emerge as a contender. Some of this is,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: in my estimation addition by subtraction, not knocking Aaron Rodgers,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: but the subtraction of a four time MVP makes this
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: team have to play a different way. But I think
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: playing differently will give them a better chance of having
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: postseason success because they have to play complimentary ball, meaning
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: they have to run the football, all control passing game
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: and really rely on a defense that features seven first
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: rounders in the too deep on the depth chart. And
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: so when you play to your strengths where you're more
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: ball control and you're leaning on the defense, well, now
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I want the talent of the defense to show through.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And we saw some of that with these guys on
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: defense playing really really well. And we can knock the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Bears and talk about Justin Fields and his struggles and
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: whether the offense is doing this. But if the Green
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Bay Packers play defense like that and they compliment it
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: with the running game and the ball control passing game,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: this is a team that can win a lot of
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter games because they won't make mistakes and they'll
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: find a way to get it done. I am really encouraged.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: If I'm a Packers fan and watching the way that
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: this team won, because this is the formula and the blueprint,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: not only for them to have sustained regular season success.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: To me, this is how they can win in advanced
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: farther in the postseason, but really being a team that's
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: connected offense, defense and special teams.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and look on the bare side of things quickly.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, they just have nothing down the field. They
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: either don't feel comfortable calling plays down the field or
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: field does not feel comfortable letting it loose. But they
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have got to get something going over the top. We
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: talked about playing half court basketball the other day. That's like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that's like it's quarter basketball. I mean, they got no
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: space for justin fields in that offense. Man, brutal. But
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: another quarterback we talked about love exceeding expectations. Man, Maybe
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the biggest disappointment at the quarterback position and a team
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: overall was Pittsburgh and Kenny Pickett and what that looked
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: like Week one. This is a team not again San Francisco.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Forty nine ers are stacked. They're loaded on the defensive
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. You know, I guess we should
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: have lowered our expectations for picket in this offense. But Buck,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: this was ugly. It was not a pretty game. You
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: see the numbers there, thirty one to forty six for
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: two thirty two had a couple of picks in a touchdown.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: But this did not look anything like we thought it
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: might look for this offense.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Didn't look anything like what I expected coming off the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: heels are a very strong preseason by the Pittsburgh Steelers,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and the preseason evidently is a light because once you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: look at preseason, what you think you know, you certainly
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: have no idea and the expectation what the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: were getting ready to go toe to toe with the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: bullies on the block, the San Francisco forty nine, is
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that they were going to meet them and beat them
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: at their own game, a physical game where it's really
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: about who can knot the other team out, And they tried,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I guess, to do that. But the San Francisco forty
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: nine has proved to be too much of a match.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I looked at their defense. They overwhelmed them at the
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: point of attack, never allowed Kenny Pickett to get comfortable,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: couldn't win on the outside, never necessarily generated the big
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: plays that you think this offense can generate and to
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: be honest, they couldn't run the football, nor did they
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: try to run the football to make the game what
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: we thought the game had to be. This had to
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: be a fight in the middle of the ring where
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: you're dropping haymaker after haymaker. The still has never could
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: throp a Haymaker and the nine it just absolutely took
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: them to the corner and beat them up until they
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: had to tap out. Yeah.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I think this, this game, in this performance from Kenny Pickett,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: is you know, in a way affected by you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: the game scripts, affected by the way the game.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Flow really went.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: When you know the forty nine ers jump out to
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: an early lead, and you know, you'd like to think
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: that that it doesn't affect the way that you want
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: to call the game, you know, knowing what your strengths
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: are as a team and knowing what you want to
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: get accomplished.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: But you know it does.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: It probably does. I assume it did. Otherwise she Harris,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: we'd be sitting here talking about him. You don't having
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: much more than what do you have? Six carries in
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: the game, you know, for for thirty one yards that game,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: you know that's not going to happen moving forward. It
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: just just doesn't feel like that was that was obviously
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: the way that they wanted this thing to go.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: You know, I look at you know, we talked a
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: lot about the.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Steelers trying to improve their offensive line going into this season.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Really felt like they did and maybe it will come
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: together here down the stretch. But I mean, you want
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: to talk about how good that forty nine Ers defensive
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: line is. They had like six guys along that defensive
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: line with a pass rush win rate of over twenty percent.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean like they were getting pressure on
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett all over the place. But the other thing is,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: you know, you look at the targets. I mean, it
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: wasn't like they weren't trying to push the field. I mean,
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: both George Pickens and Deontay Johnson, We're both getting targets ten, twelve,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: fifteen yards down the field. Just weren't connecting in a
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: way that we saw them connecting the preseason. So I'm
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: not completely off the bandwagon here on the Steelers offense,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: but they got approve and they got to show some
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: improvement here really quick.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and to your point, wherett they did try and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. There was two instances
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we had receivers fall down. Kenny then missed several of them.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: To me, two things just from a teaching standpoint, quarterback wise,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I thought it got sped up. He got a little
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: frenetic in the pocket. Now you get hit like that
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and pressure like that, that's going to happen. And the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: other thing is when you miss a couple of balls,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: he started he really started trying to guide the football.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So those are things you can work through that, you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: can coach that. And thankfully they're not going to play
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers defense each and every week. But
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: to kind of put a bow on this whole thing,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I think this was kind of fascinating to me. Of
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the two different conferences. We talked about the AFC all offseason,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, the offenses. We talked about the NFC. Well,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: it's a more physical brand of football. We saw a
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: couple of these interconference matchups and the physicality of the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: NFC stood out big time, and that game especially. All Right,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: coming up next, we're going to jump into our rookie draft.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see who who came out on top last week,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and we'll have our draft of rookies for Week two
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of the NFL season right after this all right, this
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: year we kicked off something new on the show. We're
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: going to be keeping track of these rooks he's on
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: a weekly basis. Do it in a creative fashion with
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a rookie draft. We're each going to draft a quarterback,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a running back, and then a pass catch, either wide
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: receiver or a tight end. The way this is gonna
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: work is we're gonna use standard fantasy scoring from NFL
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: dot Com, and once we have those numbers come in.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: You get three points for finishing at the highest of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a particular position. You get one point if you finish second,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and you get nothing if you finished last. So we
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: each drafted three guys last week in the first ever
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Move the Sticks rookie draft. This is how it shook
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: out in terms of fantasy points. You look at the quarterbacks.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Richardson got me twenty, so I ended up taking the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: quarterback category Stroud with ten for Buck. You look at
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: RHTT getting seven from Bryce Young the running backs, big
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: win for Bucky, with Bijeon getting twenty points. Rhett had
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Gibbs was second there, and then I had Bigsby who
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: did not a whole lot for me. The wide receivers, Oh,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: we're never gonna hear the end of this. Rhet got Pookin,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Nakula got them twenty one points. I had Flowers who
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: got seventeen point seven, and Addison got sixteen. So all
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: three of us had really good looking a wide outs there.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: But just in terms of the fantasy points, it goes
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Bucky myself RHTT. But with our scoring system, how about this,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: it's four five ball game. We emerge from week one
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: all locked up. So this again, this is this is competitive.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do this each and every week. We'll see
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: some of the same names, obviously with the quarterbacks, but
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we'll get some other names in the mix here with
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: these pass catchers and maybe a running back or two.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna switch up the draft order. We're all
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: nighted up right now. Buck, you got the first pick,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I believe last week. RHTT. You get the first pick
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: this week. But before before we do that, do you
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: want to take a victory lap? By the way, I
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: guess I'll let go ahead. Htt takes a victory lap
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: on Pooking nakook go ahead.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, better believe it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, you know what the conversation is kind
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: of transformed a little bit when we talk about quarterbacks
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: and we do those pro days and we talk about
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: arm strength, and I think a lot of us get
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: you know, enamored by some of it. But then we've
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: kind of come back to level and saying, what.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Does he just have enough? Does he have enough arm strength? Yeah?
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: He doesk Naku has enough speed, right, he didn't run
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: a four to three six in Indianapolis at the combine
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: or at his pro day. He has enough speed to
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: get open. He is a strong receiver. I mean first
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: snap that he's got, first target he gets, he gets on.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: You know, he's got a blitzing corner comes comes after
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: him off the edge. He's kind of able to just
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: maintain his leverage, get in and then find an open zone.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I think he's got the trust of Matthew Stafford. He's
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: got terrific hands. You watch another one of the quick
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: hitch catches it, Bam. He immediately knifes up field, not
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: trying to mess around going laterally.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: There's a lot to like about Poka Nukuig.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, honestly, kind of remind you a little
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: bit of what you get out of Cooper cup.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think the biasest
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: thing about Cooper because it was like, at some point time,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you can't you can't just like be like, well he's
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you know, well, I don't know. He's just working in space,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he's not having okay, he's not really facing much press coverage.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, he's good. He's just a good player.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: They're going to be selfless as we are. Let let
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: wret be the ego of the bunch. We won't take
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: our victory laps on the guys that we got right,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So we'll just jump right into the draft. Go ahead,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you got the first.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Pick, Bijon Robinson, let's go.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I think you're gonna get even more touches this week
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: out of the top ten pick of the Atlanta Falcons
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: going up against the Packers this week at home.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going Bijon for my running back with the first pick.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I think we're gonna have this every week.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have Jon Robinson being the first pick. Because
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: it does feel like a gap between Bijeon and anybody
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: else at the position. It's it's it's pretty wide.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean the touchdown he scored last week. Was
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: was incredible.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't even major in Bijon in that game.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: He was like, they just minored in Jon. I can't
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: wait for the game where they really cut him loose.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: He's going to go off. So look, that's a smart play.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I can make a case I should go with the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: second running back here, but I'm not. I'm not going
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to do that because I'm going to go back to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the well, what treated me well last week is going
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to treat me well this week, and that's Anthony Richardson.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: He's going to be my first pick. I'll take the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: quarter back to me. The the uh, the opportunity to
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: make things happen with his legs. That that helps, you know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: goose your point total a little bit here, So he
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: gives you that. And I thought he did some nice
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: things in the game last week. I thought he did
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: really worked in the middle of the field. We talked
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: about that yesterday. Showed some ability to sort through things
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and see things and deliver some accurate balls. Now it's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect, but I think the combination of
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: him using his legs get me some yards and maybe
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a touchdown on the ground, and then maybe hitting some
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: plays down the field. I'm gonna I'm gonna go quarterback Buck.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going Anthony Richardson with my first one.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's a good pick. Kevin watching him up
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: close and personally, he certainly did a good job at
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: the Indiapois coach taking build upon some of the stuff
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: today displayed against the Jacksonville Jaguars. So now I get
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: back to back pick. So uh, let's go on the
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: perimeter and get two playmakers that can make it happen.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs in week two should make an improvement, so
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take him with my first pick for the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. Let's see if he's more comfortable, gets more touches,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: puts the ball into paint, and then I'm gonna go
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: back because he treated me well a week ago. Let's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: go with Jordan Addison. I saw my guy justin Jeff
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: had him over one hundred and fifty yards, but at
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: some point they gotta they gotta take him away, so
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Jordan Addison will have more opportunities. So there we go.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I am the King of the North. Give me a
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Detroit Lion and in Minnesota Viking, and let's stee. We
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: can put up some more monster numbers when it comes
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to fantasy because based on my scoring on the fantasy
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I want it. We got to know what kind of
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: scoring system we utilized it here. But based on the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: fantasy points my team won last week and I deserve
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: my crown.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah you did.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: You scored the most fantasy points. But the rules were
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: well established before this whole thing started. So I mean,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: let's let's be honest here. It's a it's age is.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like the guy in the league that scores
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: the most points at the end of the season but
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: doesn't make the playoffs, right, I mean like nobody will ye.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, don't get me started on the padres run differential. Okay,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: we could go down that road if you want. It
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You gotta win. You gotta win the games
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: with the rules as they exist. All right, I'm gonna
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: go my second pick. I feel like, look, I'm getting
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: attached to some people. Last week I took Anthony Bridge
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: sent a nice shot for me.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Hold on a second, don't I isn't it my turn?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: No?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Doesn't he doesn't understand. Hedn't get a second. I picked
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: it between you and Bucky the whole time. Didn't last goodness,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: gracious your first last first, that's yeah, that's it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's I need I need a draft. Can you
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: get a draft track on.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: The Hey, I don't I don't know. I don't know
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: if Drew can hear me? But can we just auto
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: draft him next week? Just just leave him out of
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: this segment?
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we put him on auto drafted.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm going Zay Flower second week in
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a row. Uh, he was great last week. I mean, shoot,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: he was you know, pooking. Naka ended up scoring the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: most most points. He was right behind him, caught nine balls,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: carried the ball a couple of times. He's going to
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: be the focal point, as Red said the other day,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: with Mark Andrews in this offense. So Mark Andrews is
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: healthy and out there, I think you'll see, you know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: pretty even split there. But right now I am I'm
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: big on Za Flowers and what he can do bubble screens,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: quick hitters, and then also what he showed Raut running
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: wise at the legit comeback. You watch that route and
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, this dude is uh he's got it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: So I've got I've got Anthony Richardson, now I've got
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Za Flowers and rhtt. How this works is you get
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to pick twice.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: In case you didn't know, go ahead, Oh got you
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: of that, Thank you very much. All right, guys, you know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: What I think I'm gonna I'm gonna go back to
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: the well here, and I'm gonna keep my same choices
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: at quarterback and at receiver. Well, no, no, no, I'm not
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: gonna keep the same choice of receiver. I'm gonna keep
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: the same choice at quarterback. We're gonna go CEJ. Stroud here,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: and I feel pretty good about that against this Colts defense.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I thought, I think I saw enough of what I
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: what we wanted to see from CJ to think he'll
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: get a little bit better each and every week. So
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: give me CJ. Stroud with my quarterback selection. And then
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: this week at wide receiver.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, you know I could go tight end actually right,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: because we can do that and you know, do.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Something different, do something different.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you challenge if you're challenging me, If you're challenging me,
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: give me, uh give me Dalton k and Kate against
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: the Las Vegas Rangers this week. Give me Dalton kink
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: to help Josh Allen find some more high percentage completions
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: All right, there we go. I like that. All right,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: my last pick, I got to get a running back
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: last week. I was very confident. I was very confident
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: in tank Bigsby out there. I said, Buck, you're going
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to see it in person, and you're going to feel
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: so bad watching a guy on the team that you're
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: calling games for. Just run it up. And then I
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: fumbled and didn't run the ball very well. But he
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: did get in the end zone, so that was nice
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: to get an end zone once had a ball clank
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: off of his hands.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a great showing. So we're out of the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: tank business for now. We're gonna get We're gonna put
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: him in. I'm out. Maybe we'll go back to him later,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go to a guy I'm gonna see
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: in person for the Tennessee Titans and t J Spears,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a player who coming out of Kulane. Loved him, loved
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: his game. Remember that they did the medical and it's
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: like he didn't have an a c L. And it
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: was like, oh gosh, how how high can you take him?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: How long is his career gonna last. But he looked
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: good last week. That's all I know. Uh, so I'll
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: go ahead and take him. Last week the Chargers struggled
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: against the pass. You got to figure, uh, the Titans
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: aren't going to try and throw it nearly as much
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: as the Dolphins are. They gonna co out trying and
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: run the rock. So I'll go with Spears.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: But it's easy. So now I am just left to
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: pick one of the quarterbacks, and my options are C. J.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Stroud versus Bryce Young is going against yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: so I got I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: You only got one? Yeah, you're going bright?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: What's going on around?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: She was talking to so much I could he was
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: talking so he was talking so much I couldn't pay attention.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: He was doing a dissertation on all the guys, and
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: I lost focus. My ad d Kickdan.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: So I so you got brace.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: O, Oh my gosh. Next week, I'm auto drafting both
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: of you guys. I'm gonna have Bucky's dog make his pick.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Next week.
• 35:22
