Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
0:07
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody. Welcome to moving sticks, DJ, Bucky Rhet
0:10
Speaker 2: with you on what is going to be a rookie Wednesday. Boys.
0:13
Speaker 2: We're gonna uh, we're going to dive into here some
0:15
Speaker 2: of these rookies and some of the good stuff we've
0:17
Speaker 2: seen from them. And uh, we'll start things off though
0:19
Speaker 2: with the rookie draft. We do this each and every
0:21
Speaker 2: week we have a draft. You get a running back
0:24
Speaker 2: or receiver, tight end. We don't have enough freaking quarterbacks.
0:26
Speaker 2: Include them in the mix. It's kind of like a
0:28
Speaker 2: standard uh fantasy scorings. How we we score it and
0:32
Speaker 2: then we keep keep the results. Last week, guys, I
0:35
Speaker 2: don't think it's an US problem. I think it's a
0:37
Speaker 2: rookie problem. It wasn't great.
0:40
Speaker 1: Uh.
0:40
Speaker 2: If we recall last week my selections, I had, uh,
0:45
Speaker 2: I had Hampton, I had oh, I had I had
0:50
Speaker 2: to Tedoro McMillan at receiver. I had Harold Fannon who
0:53
Speaker 2: did a nice did a nice job. Bucky had Genty
0:56
Speaker 2: Buca and Loveland Loveland man nothing zero and then Rhet
1:00
Speaker 2: goes Henderson Hunter at receiver. And then and then Warren,
1:05
Speaker 2: who's been a stud I mean, I guess yeah, but
1:07
Speaker 2: I mean before we get to the rookie draft, Rhett
1:10
Speaker 2: is is Tyler Warren the offensive rookie of the year
1:12
Speaker 2: right now.
1:12
Speaker 1: I mean through two weeks, no question. I mean, just
1:15
Speaker 1: you look at production. I mean, he's he is. You know,
1:17
Speaker 1: essentially this has the second most receiving yards of any rookie,
1:20
Speaker 1: behind only McMillan, and it's by like thirteen yards. Now
1:24
Speaker 1: Buka is scoring touchdowns, so like that's that that's another
1:28
Speaker 1: thing to consider here. But I'd say Abuka is up there,
1:32
Speaker 1: and uh, it's it's kind of a three man race
1:35
Speaker 1: right there between at Buka Tterorro and McMillan and Tyler Warren.
1:38
Speaker 1: You know what's kind of sneaky though, Dylan Samson is
1:42
Speaker 1: putting up points on that, not as a runner but
1:45
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Wonder what the impact of Quinchhn Judkins coming.
1:49
Speaker 1: I don't think you're seeing Judkins catching a ton of passes,
1:51
Speaker 1: but maybe if that's if that steals some of the
1:54
Speaker 1: some of the thunder from from Sampson in this game,
1:57
Speaker 1: but in this game plan, but that's kind of encouraging.
2:00
Speaker 1: If you're the Browns.
2:03
Speaker 2: Trying to look for signs of life. I like that.
2:05
Speaker 2: I like that, And uh, last week, point wise, we
2:08
Speaker 2: all we're all nodded up three way tie. So as
2:10
Speaker 2: we look at the season standings right now, I've I've
2:13
Speaker 2: got ten points, buckying red at seven. So there's no
2:16
Speaker 2: no real separation there. All right, RTT go ahead and
2:18
Speaker 2: lead us off.
2:19
Speaker 1: I mean, you just got to get yourself a guaranteed
2:21
Speaker 1: three points here with your first pick. And so I'm
2:25
Speaker 1: going Tyler Warren for the third straight week. He is
2:27
Speaker 1: going to be a member of my squad. Lock it up,
2:29
Speaker 1: Colts tight end, getting after it once again. By the way,
2:33
Speaker 1: that team in the Colts is not punted yet. Just
2:36
Speaker 1: keeping that, keeping that in perspective.
2:39
Speaker 2: I had that. I knew that was going to happen
2:40
Speaker 2: this year. I pretty this offense. They're not punting the ball.
2:44
Speaker 2: There's no chance. All right, here we go. Let's go
2:49
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren. I gotta go, I gotta go, genty. I'm
2:52
Speaker 2: gonna stay chalk here. Pete Carroll said after the game.
2:55
Speaker 2: They want to give him more touches, more carries, so
2:57
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna lean into that and take Ash
2:59
Speaker 2: and Genty doubling.
3:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am doubling up right now, and I'm torn.
3:06
Speaker 3: So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go with
3:08
Speaker 3: Tror McMillan as a worldwide receiver and then let's see
3:13
Speaker 3: tight end wise, at some point, we got to do
3:16
Speaker 3: something for the Browns. Yeah, Harrold Fannin did nothing for
3:20
Speaker 3: you last week?
3:21
Speaker 2: No, he was solid, Harrold Finnon solid week. Well, we
3:24
Speaker 2: can go with.
3:25
Speaker 3: Him because we have no choice, and then I have
3:26
Speaker 3: to figure out a running back on the back end.
3:28
Speaker 3: Harold Finn Welcome, Welcome to Buck.
3:30
Speaker 2: You had five for forty eight last week. That's what
3:32
Speaker 2: I mean when this is the way that this rookie
3:33
Speaker 2: group's going right now, that's a that's a win. H
3:37
Speaker 2: So back to you, right, Mary fan you double up?
3:40
Speaker 2: What was the other one? So, Harold fann who's the
3:41
Speaker 2: other one?
3:42
Speaker 1: Buck Mac?
3:43
Speaker 2: Yeah? T Mac?
3:45
Speaker 1: Yeah?
3:45
Speaker 2: All right. So I've got Warren or sorry, I've got Genty.
3:48
Speaker 2: Warren's gone, uh Bannon, I don't need a tight end.
3:52
Speaker 2: I can hold off on that. Yeah. So receiver wise, yeah,
3:58
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I have a choice. I
3:59
Speaker 2: got I go a buka dang it do. How do
4:02
Speaker 2: you not go Buka here?
4:03
Speaker 1: Dang it?

4:07
Speaker 2: finish your picks up here. Here you go. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
4:10
Speaker 1: We'll do that here. Let's do this. Let's go elk
4:18
Speaker 1: a o manor wow sand for Titans. Let's get him
4:22
Speaker 1: into the get him into the mix here a little
4:24
Speaker 1: bit and then gosh from the running back. I mean,
4:29
Speaker 1: like no Eckler like, we gotta go j C. M
4:31
Speaker 1: here for the running back. I they've got to give him.
4:35
Speaker 1: They have got to give him the right.
4:37
Speaker 2: This dude over here to take him.
4:39
Speaker 1: They've got to It's time.
4:44
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go. Let's see who do I
4:47
Speaker 2: want here? Tight end wise? Man? Is love one ever
4:52
Speaker 2: gonna do anything? What are we doing? Mason? Taylor is
4:56
Speaker 2: an option? I've got a royo. Yeah, yeah, it's let's
5:02
Speaker 2: see where he where he is at. He's got three
5:04
Speaker 2: catches for thirty eight yards this year.
5:06
Speaker 1: It's tough.
5:07
Speaker 2: It's tough. Gunner Helm's three for twenty five. I could go,
5:10
Speaker 2: I could go double up on Titans. I don't know that.
5:12
Speaker 2: I love that motive right now, Golly, Mason, Taylor has
5:17
Speaker 2: two for twenty five for two games, Colston leveland has
5:19
Speaker 2: two catches for twelve yards. For the love of guy,
5:21
Speaker 2: let's get him the ball. I'm gonna go. Yeah, We're
5:23
Speaker 2: gonna bring it. Okay, all right, they somehow handle that.
5:28
Speaker 1: All right.
5:28
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna take a long term strategy and I'm
5:30
Speaker 3: gonna just take a blue like a blue chip prospect.
5:34
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to Mario Hampton. I'm just gonna believe it.
5:36
Speaker 3: At some point he's gonna get his opportunity. We can
5:38
Speaker 3: give him the rock. We're gonna stay true to form.
5:41
Speaker 3: Amaron Hampton.
5:42
Speaker 2: I'm on down, okay, right, I'm gonna do a I'm
5:46
Speaker 2: gonna do a little exercise here. I'm gonna send you guys.
5:49
Speaker 2: I was down on the sideline before the game, just
5:52
Speaker 2: zoom in, zoom in real quick on this picture that
5:55
Speaker 2: I just took. I felt kind of weird doing it,
5:58
Speaker 2: but I was like, I these are Saquon Barkley level
6:02
Speaker 2: quads on Omarion Hampton. I mean, look at today and
6:07
Speaker 2: Cavs on that. He is enormous. Like, I don't know, Buck,
6:10
Speaker 2: I don't know what you guys are doing at Carolina
6:12
Speaker 2: and the Strength program back in the day. I mean's
6:14
Speaker 2: mad dog back there. Now they got him these dudes out.
6:17
Speaker 2: I was like, holy crud.
6:19
Speaker 3: I will say this charges fans will appreciate a headlong
6:23
Speaker 3: conversation with Natron means about it. Marian Hampton, he was like,
6:26
Speaker 3: they never used him, They didn't use them enough at
6:29
Speaker 3: Chapel Hill. That he is a workhorse. He's a guy
6:31
Speaker 3: who gets better with more carries. I would say that
6:36
Speaker 3: at some point Marion Hampton becomes Jim Harbaugh's version of
6:39
Speaker 3: Frank Gore and he becomes a big part of this
6:43
Speaker 3: offensive puzzle as they lightened the load on Herbert, but
6:45
Speaker 3: create more explosive plays because you really have to defend
6:48
Speaker 3: the running game.
6:49
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean, look, the only thing that's going
6:51
Speaker 2: to be in the way there is that Naji Harris
6:53
Speaker 2: ran the ball really really well. Yeah, the other night.
6:56
Speaker 2: So we'll see what that work share looks like going forward.
7:00
Speaker 2: But there's our rookie draft for this week. We'll keep
7:02
Speaker 2: an eye on that. I want to hit on some
7:04
Speaker 2: other rookies guys as we kind of go through today's
7:07
Speaker 2: episode again, it's gonna be a shorter episode today. We'll
7:10
Speaker 2: have some some preview conversation coming up in the in
7:13
Speaker 2: the remaining remainder of the week. But Ratt, you had
7:16
Speaker 2: mentioned about Dylan Samson. He's done a really, really nice
7:20
Speaker 2: job catching the ball out of the backfield. He's got
7:22
Speaker 2: seventy seven yards and a touchdown already through two games.
7:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look again, not a huge part of the
7:28
Speaker 1: game plan, you know, in the run game, but get
7:32
Speaker 1: you know, And he caught Dylan Gabriel's first touchdown pass
7:35
Speaker 1: of his career, right, so Dylan to Dylan and again
7:39
Speaker 1: it was way too little, way too late for the Browns.
7:41
Speaker 1: But it was a nice little corner route that he
7:43
Speaker 1: ran from the slot, like give a nice little stick.
7:45
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him stem up a little bit
7:46
Speaker 1: a little bit more there. I think he broke it
7:48
Speaker 1: off a little bit quickly, but Gabriel stuck with it
7:51
Speaker 1: and fit it, you know, just over the dropping corner
7:55
Speaker 1: and just out of the reach of the closing safety.
7:58
Speaker 1: So I thought that was a fun play for Browns
8:00
Speaker 1: fans to kind of get a vision perhaps of the future.
8:03
Speaker 1: And you wonder just how distant that future really is
8:06
Speaker 1: with the way things are going offensively for the Cleveland Browns.
8:11
Speaker 3: I will.
8:11
Speaker 1: I will let this thing go back around if you want.
8:13
Speaker 1: But I think if we're talking about rookies overall, especially
8:17
Speaker 1: offensive skill, having a somewhat down week, we have to
8:21
Speaker 1: really prop up excuse me, really prop up the Atlanta
8:24
Speaker 1: Falcons defensive rookies.
8:25
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that was huge safeties the edge wreshers.
8:30
Speaker 1: Saw it all happened like the entire draft, you know, Yeah,
8:33
Speaker 1: both the first round picks get their first career sacks.
8:35
Speaker 1: Jalen Walker looked like a man coming off the edge.
8:38
Speaker 1: That was fun to watch with some you know, kind
8:40
Speaker 1: of bowl in the China shop type stuff. And then
8:42
Speaker 1: Bowman and Watts, you know, come up with huge picks
8:45
Speaker 1: in that game off JJ McCarthy. So I thought that
8:47
Speaker 1: was that was fun to watch again to get a
8:49
Speaker 1: glimpse of what this thing could be from a cornerstone
8:52
Speaker 1: future cornerstone perspective.
8:55
Speaker 2: Look, we talked about the end of the day book
8:57
Speaker 2: about these young safeties too. Man, those two safety these
9:00
Speaker 2: Macouba's got to pick as well as you're seeing, you're
9:04
Speaker 2: seeing what Yeah, as well, there's a lot of good
9:07
Speaker 2: young safeties. Man. Got of good rookies, Yeah, a lot.
9:09
Speaker 3: Of good rookies and we talked about it on the
9:12
Speaker 3: show on Monday, where we talked about just how you
9:14
Speaker 3: want to have like these athletic safeties. They have corner
9:17
Speaker 3: like skills with great instincts and awareness and can tackle
9:20
Speaker 3: like old school safeties, and we're seeing the league having
9:23
Speaker 3: an influx of that. I think if we're going to
9:25
Speaker 3: talk about rookers, have to talk about witnessing Travis Hunter
9:28
Speaker 3: have more experience playing defense and how unique it is
9:32
Speaker 3: to see a guy who literally was carrying the passing
9:34
Speaker 3: game for a bit of the game to then go
9:37
Speaker 3: back and play defense and have to play extensively. Look,
9:40
Speaker 3: I love what he's trying to do. I do think
9:43
Speaker 3: is a very very difficult deal to be a full
9:44
Speaker 3: time player trying to play on both sides. And look,
9:47
Speaker 3: the rookies is wading in the water. But he got
9:50
Speaker 3: a little baptism on Sunday against the Beat.
9:53
Speaker 1: And that kind of strange that for all the you know,
9:56
Speaker 1: the talk, it's just been such a just kind of
9:59
Speaker 1: nonsense story line through two weeks of the season, like
10:02
Speaker 1: just you know, he's been he's been fine. Haven't really
10:06
Speaker 1: talked about much on the defensive side of the ball.
10:08
Speaker 1: Buck We've seen it right. But offensively, I just I
10:11
Speaker 1: kind of thought we'd have more at this point.
10:15
Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, no, so okay, so we
10:18
Speaker 3: get the stat eighty one snaps in week two against
10:20
Speaker 3: Cincinnati forty two offense, thirty nine defense.
10:22
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
10:24
Speaker 3: I would say that what you've seen is more short
10:27
Speaker 3: intermediate routes. They kind of running like the old Indianapolis
10:30
Speaker 3: Colts route, like the little five yard under Reggie Wayne
10:33
Speaker 3: and Marvin Harrison made a living catching those underneath rousse,
10:36
Speaker 3: which are cool. The big thing that you want to
10:38
Speaker 3: see from him defensively, I've always felt like he was
10:42
Speaker 3: going to be a better zone corner than man corner.
10:45
Speaker 3: He got hung out of dry a little bit in
10:46
Speaker 3: man demand coverage, gave up an interference, had a breakup,
10:50
Speaker 3: But just kind of want to see when they're able
10:53
Speaker 3: to kind of settle in and allow him to be
10:54
Speaker 3: a sea ball gefball defender. Can't be the playmaker that
10:57
Speaker 3: they envision when they took him number two.
10:59
Speaker 2: Overall, Yeah, there's a lot of pressure on him, man,
11:03
Speaker 2: because it's like you've just been a highlight machine in
11:06
Speaker 2: college and at the Heisman Trophy. There's all that comes
11:09
Speaker 2: with it and that you just it's not even like
11:11
Speaker 2: the numbers, like you're expecting to see these huge games
11:14
Speaker 2: and interceptions and touchdowns, but it's just like, man, this
11:17
Speaker 2: is supposed to be the most exciting player. And we
11:20
Speaker 2: know what it's like to see exciting players. We've seen
11:22
Speaker 2: Malik Neighbors last year jump on the scene. You go
11:25
Speaker 2: all the way back to the big dogs like Randy Moss,
11:27
Speaker 2: and it's just like, Okay, this is supposed to be
11:29
Speaker 2: kind of one of those unique special guys. And I mean,
11:33
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be a really good player,
11:34
Speaker 2: but watching that, watching through two weeks, I would say
11:38
Speaker 2: he's blended in more than it's like you capsually sit
11:41
Speaker 2: down and you're taking a back by what you're seeing there.
11:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, blending in is a good way to put it
11:46
Speaker 1: right now. Not to say it's going to be that way,
11:48
Speaker 1: but no, that's just where we are through two weeks.
11:50
Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see where it goes from there.
11:52
Speaker 1: I want to go through some of these other you
11:54
Speaker 1: know numbers here looking at some of these top guys.
11:57
Speaker 1: When we talked about Harold Fannin briefly and what he's
11:59
Speaker 1: done along with Dylan Sampson, we see some of these
12:02
Speaker 1: young guys offensively for the Cleveland Browns is encouraging McMillan.
12:06
Speaker 1: We've touched on with the Panthers Traveon Henderson. I mean,
12:10
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to see some more opportunities and some more
12:13
Speaker 1: from him, Rhett, But you know, I think he's got
12:18
Speaker 1: the tools and the ability to be more of a
12:21
Speaker 1: feature guy, just hasn't really happened yet happened yet. It's
12:24
Speaker 1: kind of a head scratcher, isn't it. Yeah, Like she's
12:27
Speaker 1: like your most explosive player on offense, you know what
12:31
Speaker 1: the the on the other side of it, the you know,
12:34
Speaker 1: kind of equally as big of a head scratcher. It's
12:36
Speaker 1: like Kayshawn Boutie has become one of their best receivers. Yeah,
12:39
Speaker 1: you know, a guy who was left for dead. I
12:40
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, early in his career, and all
12:42
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's go one hundred yard games.
12:46
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm struggling to.
12:47
Speaker 1: Put all the pieces together for Josh McDaniels. So far, Look,
12:51
Speaker 1: it's working fine. I mean, they they've they've got their
12:53
Speaker 1: their first win of the season this past week and
12:56
Speaker 1: looked pretty good doing it with Drake May. I just
12:58
Speaker 1: think a player like that man only take your offense
13:01
Speaker 1: to new lengths. Now, look, we don't know what's happening
13:02
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and you know, is there a struggle
13:05
Speaker 1: to pick up some of the complications of the offense,
13:07
Speaker 1: which you know, for any rookie is always something to
13:10
Speaker 1: wonder about. But I just I got to feel and
13:12
Speaker 1: they're not going to hold him back much longer, and
13:14
Speaker 1: he's got to find a way or they've got to
13:15
Speaker 1: find a way, you know, to you know, in Bill
13:18
Speaker 1: Belichick's eyes, like, how do we accentuate this guy's strengths, right, Like,
13:22
Speaker 1: how do we build around what this guy does very
13:24
Speaker 1: well and put him in those positions to make the
13:26
Speaker 1: plays that we saw that led to us taking him
13:29
Speaker 1: in the second round.
13:31
Speaker 2: I just want to see all these rookie running backs.
13:33
Speaker 2: You just go through the list of all those guys
13:34
Speaker 2: and we'll see what Judkins get in there. Kataboo, We're
13:36
Speaker 2: starting to see a little bit, Yeah, Scataboo down there
13:38
Speaker 2: in the red zone running hard at a nice open
13:40
Speaker 2: field run. To me, I just want to see them.
13:42
Speaker 2: Let these guys, let them loose, man Like, Yeah, I
13:44
Speaker 2: don't think that's as much of an adjustment. Pass protection, sure,
13:48
Speaker 2: like you you know, you got to make sure that
13:49
Speaker 2: they know what they're doing in terms of pass protection.
13:51
Speaker 2: But running the balls. Running the ball. Let these guys
13:53
Speaker 2: carry the ball. Let them get out there and get
13:55
Speaker 2: loose and get going. So yeah, we'll see what happens.
13:58
Speaker 2: You know, we wanted to kind of do a deep
13:59
Speaker 2: dive on these rookies, and when you really do the
14:01
Speaker 2: deep dive, there's not been all that impressive, to be
14:05
Speaker 2: honest with you, at this point in time, it's nothing
14:06
Speaker 2: to get you super excited. So I want to I
14:08
Speaker 2: want to do one more thing here as we're kind
14:12
Speaker 2: of going through kind of a mini episode. We if
14:14
Speaker 2: we look at the NFC, guys, you've got the undefeated
14:17
Speaker 2: teams right now, Philly, Green Bay, Tampa, and then you
14:21
Speaker 2: get to the West with three undefeated teams San Francisco,
14:25
Speaker 2: Arizona and the Rams. We've talked in the AFC. You
14:30
Speaker 2: know about how surprised we are with Indianapolis Colts, that
14:32
Speaker 2: being probably the biggest surprise we've seen to start the year.
14:35
Speaker 2: Are any of those teams in the NFC, any of
14:37
Speaker 2: those undefeated teams, does any of that surprise you? At all.
14:43
Speaker 1: Not Tampa. I think Green Bay being as dominant as
14:47
Speaker 1: they've been on defense does surprise me a little bit.
14:50
Speaker 1: And now look at that, you do have to factor
14:52
Speaker 1: in Michael Parsons, right, which I think wasn't a part
14:54
Speaker 1: of the kind of national conversation about the Packers defense
14:58
Speaker 1: until you know, a week before the season whenever he
15:00
Speaker 1: ended up getting there, So kind of take that into account. Right, Certainly,
15:04
Speaker 1: no surprise with Philly. I'd say Arizona being two and oh.
15:08
Speaker 1: You know, they've played some lesser teams, I think, so
15:11
Speaker 1: if you take that into account, But if you're if
15:14
Speaker 1: you're also looking at like which one is which one
15:16
Speaker 1: of these teams is going to have a hard time
15:18
Speaker 1: sustaining the two and oh record, and the way that
15:20
Speaker 1: it's the forty nine ers, you know, with brock Perty
15:23
Speaker 1: out and the injuries and Kittle out, Like how long
15:26
Speaker 1: can they continue.
15:27
Speaker 2: To keep that up?
15:28
Speaker 1: I think, you know, hat tip to them for figuring
15:30
Speaker 1: it out here through these first two weeks. But I
15:33
Speaker 1: would say, you know, to me, at this point, the
15:36
Speaker 1: three best teams in the NFC are the Rams, the Packers,
15:38
Speaker 1: and the Eagles.
15:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you in terms of the three
15:41
Speaker 3: best teams I think right after that is Tampa the team. Yeah,
15:46
Speaker 3: I would say it is probably a bit of a
15:47
Speaker 3: surprise in a way, would be theirs. On the Cardinals,
15:51
Speaker 3: their schedule certainly has helped them, but still it's hard
15:55
Speaker 3: to win games. You have three of the John Gannon experience.
15:59
Speaker 3: They they have jumped out to a fast star but
16:01
Speaker 3: now can they sustain it in a division that appears
16:04
Speaker 3: to be vulnerable for them that they've always competed well
16:07
Speaker 3: against their division rivals, but can they stack enough wins
16:10
Speaker 3: early to put themselves in a position to kind of
16:12
Speaker 3: sneak and win the division. That's what I want to
16:15
Speaker 3: see because the Niners injuries eventually that's gonna come back
16:18
Speaker 3: to bite them. So now it's about the Cardinals in
16:21
Speaker 3: the Rams. With the Rams schedule, can the Cardinals kind
16:24
Speaker 3: of back door their way into a division title?
16:26
Speaker 2: I'll be honestly, though they're talking about those three teams
16:28
Speaker 2: in the NFC West are undefeated, I'm not so sure.
16:31
Speaker 2: When the dust settles at the best team in the
16:32
Speaker 2: division isn't the only team with a loss in the
16:34
Speaker 2: division the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle Seahawks are one and one.
16:37
Speaker 2: They will be right there till the end. I mean
16:39
Speaker 2: kind of a I don't want to say a fluky touchdown,
16:41
Speaker 2: but kind of an odd touchdown. The San Francisco beats
16:44
Speaker 2: them on on a ball that should have been knocked away,
16:47
Speaker 2: and then they go on the road and manhandle the
16:49
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. They have a good defense. Sam Donaldoks already
16:53
Speaker 2: looks very, very comfortable. They've got better up front on
16:56
Speaker 2: the offensive line. Cooper cups fit in nicely. Like that division,
17:00
Speaker 2: who who thought that the Yeah Canine ran Sharon May
17:05
Speaker 2: was better the week before? Yeah? That was the best.
17:08
Speaker 2: I mean I always had some big games, but like
17:10
Speaker 2: the stop start stuff was awesome in that game. So
17:14
Speaker 2: that's a fun division.
17:15
Speaker 1: Man.
17:16
Speaker 2: And uh, and by the way, if you're looking to, uh,
17:19
Speaker 2: you know, dig in on some of these teams, some
17:20
Speaker 2: of these rookies. You want to watch these guys you
17:22
Speaker 2: want to study. Maybe you've got an interest in, you know,
17:24
Speaker 2: eventually becoming a scout and you want a way to
17:27
Speaker 2: do that. What do you do? Uh, It's pretty simple.
17:30
Speaker 2: You just sign up for NFL Plus Premium. You can
17:33
