  Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: DJ Buck and our guy Baldy joined us here on
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: a Monday. Baldy, were we are in December? How fast
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: did that just go by?
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: It's a blank? I mean we always say it every year,
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: it goes by faster and faster.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: But we're, you know, week thirteens in the books practically,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and December first, the stretch run has begun, like it
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: feels like it just started, and here we are in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the stretch run.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Were ever on teams where you felt like you guys
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: had a gear you could tap into when you get
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: to this point this season, like there was another gear.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I think some of these veteran teams and all of
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: a sudden, it looks like they're kind of flipping the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: switch a little bit.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I did. I played on team in Philly
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that was like that. Like we had a good playoff
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: run in ninety two, but we were led by a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: great defense. But I felt like we got to the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: point we could run the ball against anybody. We won
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the division that year. Cowboys, you know, knocked us out
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but I felt like we were ready
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for playoff football. He was just you know, we just
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: ran into a better team than the playoffs. But we
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: took care to Saints in the playoffs, like I felt
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: like we were. We could have made a good deep
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: run if it wasn't for the Cowboys.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Being so good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a dominant Cowboy team. Well, let's let's
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: jump into some of these games. Let's start with a
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Sunday nighter. Uh, speaking of a team that couldn't make
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: a deep playoff run, Denver Man Washington, you know, not
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: not healthy, no Jayden Daniels, But Marcus Mariota and company
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: came in there and gave them a heck of a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: ball game last night.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: They did, and uh, you know, they had a chance,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they had a chance you know wags, you know, with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: an interception, and Marcus made plays with you know, just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you know, like I think we always thought he could.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: He hasn't done it for long stretches, but I mean
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: extending plays. Yeah, getting a ball to McLaren. Looking at
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: McLaren healthy and what a difference he makes. That was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a great match up him and Patrickstan both of them
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: out there healthy for the first time in a long time.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: That was a good matchup.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But I mean, you look, he you know, I don't
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: blame dan quinn for going for two at the end,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: right there, Go for two, go for the win. Uh
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you know, you see you're sitting there, you know, at
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the NFC right now, go for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the win, knock off a team that's the hottest team
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in the league. And you know, they just didn't. I mean,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it was a good play call. It was wide open. Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: good play call. I mean he's bring the will linebacker
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and Menito comes free and you know you got you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: got mcnickels out there in the flat. It's probably gonna
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: be a two point conversion if you get the ball
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: over Benito's head. So it came down to the final play.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, they played as hard as they could. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: thought in that game it was two teams that played
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: played the game the right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Way, played really hard.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the the conversions that they had late
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: in that ball game, I mean pressure pressure conversions.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, third and twenty five or second and twenty five,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, they responded, they.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Found a way and then you know, to me, Mario
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to one of the things about him underrage. Just you
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: forget how strong he is man like cause he you
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: think of him in Oregon, you thought he's kind of
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a narrow, linear guy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But man, his.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Ability to get that ball off when he's got two
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: guys draped over and ended up getting a pass interference
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: penalty extends the game. I mean really kind of kept
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the game alive for him. I thought he played great.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: We were talking on the phone this morning, Baldy about Matt.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I look at a guy like Mariota if you wanted
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: to script a perfect backup quarterback, like the different criteria.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: First of all, let's start with you got to be
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: a great teammate because you're going to have to support
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: your starter. He's by all counts and unbelievable, I know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: at any of that stuff, unbelievable guy. And then can
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: he give us can you know, if you have to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: play for two, three, four weeks, can he get us
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: through a month of the season, maybe give us a
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: five hundred you know type type month there. And he's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: more than capable of doing that. He was making plays
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: on schedule, made some plays off schedule. I mean, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: think if you if you extend this thing out over
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the full season with Mariota, maybe it starts the works
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: start to show a little bit. But to me, he's
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: like the perfect backup. And I was thinking about how
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: ironic it was. You remember he came into the league,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Mariota versus Jameis Winston. That was the things like these
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: guys competed on like the PGA Tour and now they're
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: like in the Senior Tour. Now they're like the two
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: backup guys, and they're both in their own ways. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: think they're both like ideal type backup quarterbacks.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, with Cliff's system in Washington,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean just being a threat, a run threat,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know, spreading you out, do the things that he
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: he asked his quarterbacks to do, Jayden to do, like
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he could do a lot of those things, extending the plays.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: But I thought he was really accurate too with the ball,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and I thought that was always one of his issues.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But I thought he made a lot of big time
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: throws to Zach Ertz. I mean they dropped some palls
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: too that I think that really helps them, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I mean that that could have really swung that game.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, that's a hot team that's a good defense.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That's a great defense. And to be able to move
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the ball like that and come back and to you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: make that an overtime game like that. That was you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: know that It just shows you, like, you know, I mean,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: despite the record and all that kind of stuff, those
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: kids played hard man.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dan Quinn, he's got a good culture there the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: other side of the ball. Looking at the Broncos, I
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: had heard in the summer and in the offseason after
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: they signed this dude that like, hey, Evan Ingram is
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: such a perfect fit for Sean Payton.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: He knows how to use this guy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: This is going to be, you know, this is going
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to be someone who just matches up perfectly with what
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: they want to do. And I'm kind of sitting here
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: waiting and waiting, and then I watched this tape and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, hey, yeah, this is what it's supposed
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to be. It's body. He's winning on a little check downs.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: He can just get north and south and just burst
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: pivot routes, and then in overtime he hits a little
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: jerk out on Bobby Wagner, and Bobby like twenty four
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: year Oldobby Wagner has a shot on that one, not
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: this version of Bobby Wagner. That's impossible cover with a
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: guy that dynamic and explosive. And it's like, yeah, this
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: is what I'd been expecting. This was kind of the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: guy I thought we would see there.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: We hadn't seen much of it, and you know, until
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: they needed the most, you know, on the road like that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And so it's good to see, you know, Evan because
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, he's caught a hundred balls in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: his leep. You know, he is a guy that can
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: match up against linebackers and safeties and winning those matchups,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and he's actually wants the balls in his hands do
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have to catch.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: No doubt whatsoever.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Let's let's change games here, Buck, Let's go to the
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: game that you were at.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Buck.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: We don't want to get this one in here, just
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: because I didn't think this was one that we would
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: talk about initially. But Jags, you look up, Buck, Your
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Jags are in the driver's seat now, all of a
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: sudden in the AFC south of twenty five to three
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: throttling of the Tennessee Titans.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was really good.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: To see them play the way that they play, very
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: consistent from beginning to end. And you guys have all
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: been around good teams and you see the maturation where
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: good teams take care of business against teams they're supposed
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: to be. And one thing that Liam Cohen has been
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: trying to convey to the team is don't apologize for winning.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Just find different ways to win the game against those teams.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: But I think what you want to focus on is
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: look at Trevor Lawrence, and look at Trevors Lawrence from
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: this point going forward. A couple of weeks ago, Liam
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Cohen told him, hey, man, let it rip. Quit worrying
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: about making mistakes and turnovers and those things.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Don't be reckless, but be fearless when it comes to it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: And DJ Balden, you know when you play against zone
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: teams and you have to throw the ball into windows
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: and anticipate, like there's a fearlessness that you have to
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: let it go and trust that your guys going to
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: get there. I'm gonna say this, I think this was
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: the best that I saw Trevor Lawrence in terms of
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: throwing with anticipation and.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Timing rip over the middle of the field.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: And if they're able to get this version of Trevor
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: going forward, they're gonna be their offense that they want
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: to be in need to be in the postseason.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Well, a couple of things, Buck, I mean, Jacoby Myers
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: has made a difference here, like he fits, and then
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: getting Brendon Strange back at tight end. He was out
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: for I don't know how many weeks he missed, Buck,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but you know, he's a guy that they really know
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: how to feature him in all phases of the game.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: They're a big tight end team.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And so getting those two guys in this lineup right now,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's helped Trevor.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Both those guys they think have helped them.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I was talking to Baldy this morning, Buck about Jacoby Myers,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and I'm sitting here going watching this tape, going, Kley,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: this is like, this is James Glass. I'm going and
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: getting a RAMS receiver.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This is the letter exen. This is their style of guy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I'm watching it deep ends, working in the middle of
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the field, tunnel screens, like everything funneling towards the middle
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: of the field, grounded through the catch, catch everything, reliable, dependable, smart,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: like like this is the RAMS type receiver. So they
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: went and found guy, and I was thinking about you
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: know like, this is not the end to me for
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Junior, but it might just not be a
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: great fit there. If you take Brian Thomas Junior, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: was telling Ball, you trade him to the Kansas City Chiefs,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: He'll be in the Pro Bowl next year because they
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: feed speed and explosion. Whereas this this style that they've
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: had in Tampa with Liam Cohen as well as you
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: know what the Rams had, that's a more physical, that's
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: a more middle of the field, that's working in the mud,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: so to speak, type guys. And I think, to me,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that's to Baldy's point, like Myers, just he fits and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: he helps Trevor.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: But here's what happens DJ when you stand firm on
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: what your expectations are for you wide receivers, they either
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: meet it or exceed it. If you watch that tape closely,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: there's a big play that Jacoby Myers makes. Brian Thomas
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: is leading the way, Brian Thomas is blocking and knocking
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: people down. Brian Thomas then later comes and catches one
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: over the middle and you can see the wiggle. So
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: it's not necessarily hey, he's not a good fit, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: it's conforming to the standards and expectations.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I've said this and I believe it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: They're going to need him to be the team that
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: they need to be down the stretch because all those
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: systematic receivers are great, and so you play against guys
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: who have better defenders than those individual talents on the outside.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So you need to have a get open guy.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: To me, Brian Thomas is dead and it's just about
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: playing to the standarday to happen him. If he does that,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: then this offense goes to another level. Well that's good stuff.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Well, good win for the Jacks very quietly, Yeah, right
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: in control there in the AFC South Baldie Man. Probably
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: one of the best games of the week, Houston Indy.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Houston gets to win twenty to sixteen. Your takeaway on
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: those guys.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you there's not a single guy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's lasted or if it's getting
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie back, if it's watching any linebacker Will Anderson.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Like they strike you as hard and as consistent as
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: any defense in this league. Like you can't help but
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: feel the hits when you watch that team play. They
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: throttled up. You know, Jonathan Taylor pretty good, but I need,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you know, and the Colts like to attack the middle
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of the field. They like they strike fear when they
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: come after you, Like there is every single guy in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that team on that defense will hit and and they
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and they and then they just get as many hats.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: To the ball as possible.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: It is really something to watch.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Like that's playoff defense the way they play now the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: other side of the ball. I mean CJ was back
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: for the first time in the month. I thought the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: offensive line, including Trent Brown, you know, if he gets
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to just lean on you, you know, and he doesn't
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: have to like go out there in space and dance
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and all, like, he's still effective. I don't know what
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: he weighs, it's it's weight on size.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Doesn't go into a slump BOLDI.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a holiday season DJ. He might be four,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he might be every bit of four. Like that thing
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: is hanging way over the belt.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: But he can't go through them.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: You can't. You can't go through them.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So but but even like you know, Arianta Ursery, you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: played pretty good on the edge against Leith.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: To.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I thought they played pretty good. They found different ways
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to run the ball. Got a pinned poll for Chubb
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: for touchdown. They got a reverse to Nico Collins four touchdown.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: That's how he got in the end zone. It's not
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a dynamic offense, but the defense just keeps giving you
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a chance. And that's in Indy against a good against
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: a really good offense.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Buck, I was going to see if you could give
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: me an example of this because I went through and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: was looking through the numbers and went and watched it,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and you know, Jayden Higgins just keeps coming on five
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: for sixty five in this game. He's a rookie, six
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: foot four, is two hundred and twenty pounds. Nico Collins
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: six foot four, maybe close to two thirty, Like he
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: is a big physical guy. He's five for ninety eight.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I was something Baldy that it's in Houston, So I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: going back old school. I'm going Twin Towers two point zero.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I got Ralph Sampson, I got Hakeem Elijahwan. Those are two,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I mean maybe not centers, but two power forward wide receivers.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I was trying to think of other can you remember
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: other great offenses where you had two like just big physical,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: six foot four dudes combining each other. I know, like
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: like Randy Moss and Chris Carter. Randy was taller Jake.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: But they both guys.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Jake Reid was, wasn't he. Baldy was about to say, yea,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: so those guys all could kind of play above the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: rim too.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so hard to find.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: I mean you just know, like from the scouting world,
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: how hard it is to find cornerbacks and defensive backs
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: that are six foot or taller. And so imagine now
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: needing to find two or three of them to be
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: able to match up with what the Texans are able
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: to do. And what I'll say about the Texans team
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: in general, Baldy, you talked about their defense being a
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: physical defense that will strike you. They have now assembled
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: a heavyweight team. They're big, they're physical, they all kind
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: of have an edge and a chippiness to them. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna say this, like when you look at the Texans,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: you don't want them on your line when it comes
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: to the postseason because that playoff defense that you're playing,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Danil Hunter and Will Anderson are down. They have twenty
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: one and a half sacks this year already, Like Danil
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Hunter can take over a game, and Will Anderson is
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: right there with them, and their physicality wears on you
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: over time and they make you playing these low scoring,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: gritty things. They just need to be adavage on offense
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: and they're gonna be able.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: To go far into postseason.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about that Buck is like Will
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and Daniel didn't have a sack in the game, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: yet Will Anderson then move him around like he just
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: ran over Bordolini the center, he ran over the left tackle.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: You know, uh, he just crushed the pocket like they.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Just and you know, and then you know, Sheldon Rankins
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: gets a sack, but they just can, especially on third downs,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they just consistently can crush the pocket with just four
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and then you you let those safeties and corners go
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to work. Not to mention, you know, Al Shire and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: some of the inside linebackers like they are they're they're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they're complete, like they're gonna give you a headache man
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: playing against that defense.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: There's any question about it too, that they just got
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: to get in, like Bucky said, because that's going to travel.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: That ain't something that they got to be playing in
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Houston for that defense to play like that. That thing
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: will go with him everywhere. So that's a that's a
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: really good football team. Only a game behind now, game
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: behind Jacksonville Indianapolis. So that's going to be a nail
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: bier of a division to watch as we come down
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the home stretch.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Here. I'll get you.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Guys to the game I was at yesterday. It was
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: a blowout Chargers thirty one to fourteen over the Raiders.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Herbert got hurt. He ended up fractioning his left hand,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: so it sounded like he was gonna have surgery Monday,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: with the hope that he wouldn't miss any time be back.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: You know, they played the Eagles at home coming up,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: which is a big game for both of those teams.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: But they didn't really need him in this game, Baldi.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: They ran the ball down the Raiders' throats, and for
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: all the Raiders issues with their team, they've actually been
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: decent against the run. I think there a third in
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the league and yards per carry and you know, top
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: top half of the league in terms of yards. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Camanie Vaidell, he's made himself some money man as a
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: young player, the second year guy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: He runs hard.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: At buck twenty six, they hit a pin and pull
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: for a touchdown where you get Mconkee blocking down Sawyer
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: who's now taking over the left tackle spot, which I
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: think is a good development. He pulls out, gets to
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: the perimeter, Trey Harris blocks his tail off. You guys
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: were talking at Bucky was talking about it, Brian Thomas Junior.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: But Baldi, when you have wideouts that are bought in
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and blocking well in the run game, I mean, I
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: think that's kind of a hardball thing. But that speaks
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: to the of culture that they've got there.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: No, I agree, I agree, And you know, and when
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you see these running backs, I mean, you know have
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the pace too, like you're going to get blocks from
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the wide receivers that they don't have to knock guys down.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: These have to be in good position, not be dumb
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: with their hands, especially on the perimeter.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: But I watched it yesterday in Buffalo.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I watched every one of those wide receivers block against
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh yesterday, and it's when they when they you could
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: tell the effort and the angles that they're taking to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: dig these guys out of the box in order to,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, help the running back. You could tell just
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: by the effort sometimes that they're ball bought.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: In yeah, I mean, just a really good thing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: And I'm gonna say this about comar of it all,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: like that is such a great fine three one yard
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: games already, the ability to be able to do it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: When you think when they eventually.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Get Omari and Hampton back, to be able to have
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: two running backs that can be able to literally carry
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: the load as feature guys, it only makes the running
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: game better.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And I think as we're at.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: The time where we begin to see it, because think about.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: The way the running game.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Is really showing up this week, just watching the teams,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: the way the Bears did charge, the way others are
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: doing it.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: You have to be able to run it, and you
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: have to have a running back that can.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Carry a heavy workload because that only alleviates the pression
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: on the quarterback. It makes life so much easier for
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: everyone involved. We need to get down like that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: By the way, it's amazing how much better your defense
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: looks when you run the football offensively. And these guys
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: are well rested and ready to rock and roll. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: that was the charges. The big question was kind of okay,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: you know, the Raiders with the new coordinator and all
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: the talk with coach Olsen was they're going to try
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and establish the run and get genty going. And they,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I mean the Chargers, I thought they The question was
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: are they going to add you know, another big to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the count, because a lot of times they'll play with
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the two bigs and two stand up edge guys. Now
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the edge guys Mac and Tweet below to are strong,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: firm guys, but two big guys, And I thought, okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: well they will they end up going with three bigs
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to try and slow the run that Jacksonville got them on.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Come you know, before the buying some of the issues.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: What they did is they're just adding the safety to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: the box a lot more so for being such a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: too high team. You saw Derwin James buzzing down there.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: You saw Mickens get down there in the mix, Tony
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Jefferson h taking chances down there. So they're just adding
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: a number to try and you know, add to the
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: box there. But I wanted to get to get you this, baldy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Is there a more underrated player in the NFL right now?
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Quietly having an unbelievable start to his career in a
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: great year Tully twoy Polo two. Does he got ten sacks?
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Now he had a game. He had seven tackles, two sacks,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: four TFLs in this game. So his rookie year he
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: goes four and a half sacks. Is a part time
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: player eight and a half sacks. Last year he's got ten.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Now he's gonna end up fourteen or so sacks by
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: the end of the season. Baldy, he is twenty three
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: years old. He's in his third year in the NFL.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: He is only twenty three years old.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, And he's as sending sending,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and I you know the way that they use him.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: You know, they move around, put him over guard outside,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: they twist them a lot. You know, they use them
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: the right way.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not that he kiln't you just play on the edge,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you know, and just live on the edge, because I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: think he's good enough to do that. But I like
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the way that they move him around too. I thought
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Minder's done a good job with them. But you could tell,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: like even when he was at USC like he had
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: real core strengthened to him, Like he goes through if
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: he's on the edge, he's hard to get to shop
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: his feet from going forward.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: He gets on your.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Edge, heavy heavy hands man, but Buck.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: That's one of those things too when you look at it,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: when we're going through the scouting process in the spring,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: and because of the COVID year, because of you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: reach your years and things, we're seeing a lot of
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: guys like Brozmer started yesterday from Minnesota quarterback.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It's twenty four years old.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: What have you this guy's been this is his third
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: year in the league.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: He's only twenty three years old.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, trying to find young guys, trying to find young
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: guys that are still on the come up. You know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: it's great that you're talking about like the young pass
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Ruger for the Charges kind of settling in when I
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: look at the Charger and that road is tough in
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: terms of what they got to navigate the last few.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Weeks of the year.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: But once again, man, the AFC field is so wide
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: open it I think any coach standing in front of
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the room can legitimate map out a path or his
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: team to go to the Super Bowl. Get the guys
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: by end, and so the Charges are right there. It's
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: gonna be so fun to not have like the team
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: that everyone is ready to pencil in. It's gonna make
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: for a very exciting postseason.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Watch well.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think the team see the two weeks
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: DJ in Kansas City for that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Charge, Oh that's gonna be huge.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: The other thing sneaky thinking about the Chargers is they're
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: seven and two I believe now in the a f C,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: which when you get all these teams jumbled up together
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: the tiebreaker. And the other thing is they're undefeated in
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the division. They're now four to ozh inside the inside
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the division with two games remaining at Kansas City at Denver.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: So a couple of big ones there. Let's take quick break,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: we come back. We'll knock out some of these ball games. Baldi,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: were you at you at the Jets? You had Atlanta Jets.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I was at Jets yesterday.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: The crowd looked like like low level high school championship football.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: That was nice, but they but they were entertained. I mean,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I'll give you, I'll give it Glenn credit. Like it
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: was ugly. It was ugly on both sides. But the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Jets special teams have been special. Like Isaiah Williams is
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a good he's a good returner, Contest Figgers is a
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: good gunner. You know, the kicker is excellent, kicks a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: fifty eight yard er to win the game, Like it's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a I don't know what it was falling out of
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the sky. I don't know if it was a mist,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: if it was sleep, if it was rained.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Some was falling the whole day. But you know, I mean,
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: the one thing about the.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Jets right now is like people thought like a d
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Mitchell was going to be a throw in on this trade.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: What would you have on any Mitchell here DJ, Because
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that guy all I see him do is get behind
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: people and he get behind uh, you know, the corner of Atlanta.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Yesterday they launched a bomb to him. But I've seen
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it now two or three weeks in a row where
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that guy looks like he could be, you know, if
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Garrett comes back healthy and everything, Like I can see
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a d Mitchell being, you know, the ex receiver in
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that offense for a long time right now.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, at night Mitchell six oh two two two oh five,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: So six two and a quarter two o five he
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: ran four three four. The first thing I wrote down
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: is this guy is a freak. He's a gown ground gainer,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of fifty to fifty wins. He torched kool
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: aid McKinstry when they played Alabama. He can adjust on
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the back shoulder, he can work back. He's a hands catcher.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I thought he had some tempo as a route runner.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I mean he was my twenty seventh overall player in
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: that draft. Yeah, so that's not that yeah, anything but
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: a throwaway. And in this game, just going through watching
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: him in this one eight for a bucko two and
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: a touchdown, speed outs.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Deep posts.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I just wrote speed speed, speed, like he looked like
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: the fastest guy in the field and he's out there.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson can roll now. But they they've got a
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: track team now that they've assembled. They just got to
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: get the right trigger man.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did a quarterback, the quarterback, but you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: toy Rod was he was a terrible but he can
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: still like he he based.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: An upgrade over what they've been doing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It's an upgrades, you know, he can still I mean
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it's just fifteen years now for Tyrod, Like, he can
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: still run. He extending please, running away from the falcons
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: they go. They got Pierce and Jaen Walker and they
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: got all these young guys. He's he's running away from
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: all of them for first downs and extending you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: extending quite a few plays, so, you know, and he
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: got the one deep ball to Ady Mitchell was which
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: was huesday, they got a muff punt, you know that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: You know, the ball fell in Quantestigger's hands at the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: two yard line. Pre scored in the next play.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Look they they they earned that win. You know it
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: was uh it looked it was ugly. But you know,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I would say that they've won three of their last
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: five games. So there is there is an uptick to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: what the Jets are doing. And you good luck trying
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to you know, tell me like who Jawan you know,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Briggs is and some of these guys that are playing
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: for him right now.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: But you know they're playing pretty hard overall for Aaron
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Bucks seventh and twenty third picks in the draft for
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: the Jets right now, and I'll tell you what the Colts,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: just with how that division is is so competitive now
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that twenty third pick could end up coming a little
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: bit higher here.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this infretted. Everyone's going to talk about like the
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: quarterback stuff and whatever. Get to that draft conversation like
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: later on. But like if you're the Jets and you're
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: looking at the core man Tyro Taylor just for now
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: gives them stability. And I just remember having a conversation
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: years ago with Mike Tomlin about Tyrod Taylor. He talked
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: about because they're from the same area. He just talked
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: about whenever he's in the room, you feel his alpha personality.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: And when you think about the two different personalities that
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: you had in Justin Fields and Tyro Taylor, maybe just
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: maybe the Jets respond better than Tyrod just because of
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: who he is and the leadership that he brings to
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: the table outside of the skills that body was talking about.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he'll throw the ball. I think that
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: also helps helps his cause there. He's just he's not
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: afraid to let it, let it rip. He sneak that
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: one under the door. Baldy Man. The most impressive win
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: of the week, Carolina Panthers. They take out the Rams
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: thirty one to twenty eight. Outstanding performance by Carolina. And man,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Dan Morgan, he's got to be
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: in the mix for Executive of the Year. Dave Canal
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: is going to be in the knicks for Coach of
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: the Year. What they've done with this Carolina team.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was the best team in football,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody was arguing last week they
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: climbed to number one, you know in the league in defense.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But Derek Brown like is having a monster season. You
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: know two years ago before he got hurt. He's the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: first defensive tackle to ever have one hundred tackles in
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a season. Like, the guy doesn't come off the field.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: He plays nearly every down. But he made two huge plays.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: He tipped the ball that Nick Scott intercept the Enzo.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: He got the ball out of Stafford's hands when they're
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: going in to score, and uh you know they they
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: they pick up the fumble right there. Uh, dj Wadham
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they you know ever O can coach man, he's just
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a good coach. He gainst those guys to play hard.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: They're they're a good defensive front. They're physical. Uh you
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: talked about Lathan Ransom. You know that that kid got
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a chance to start and uh you know he was
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: just like literally a meteor coming out of the sky
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: just crashing into people.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Uh that that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And then Bryce Young, like I know he threw for
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: four against the Falcons two weeks ago, and then last
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: week he was terrible, and then this week you know
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: he found the deep ball, a good touch on it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and you know they.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: They put up a big number on the Rams. That
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: was an impressive win.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Where do you think, Buck, Look, man, I am so
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: surprised at the Carolina Panthers, right because one week they
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: can go and snatch down the top team, then the
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: next week they underperformed. But I will say, like wathingtonm
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: play against the San Francisco forty nine because I watched.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: That money in the football game and you're like, Okay,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you can see the potential. The defense gave them a chance.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Offensively, Bryce Young wasn't there, But then to watch them
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: come back against.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: The La Rams and to play the way that they
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: played is really remarkable.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I think about Bryce Young being able to hit Tam
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: McMillan on the outside, Bryce Young being able to have
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: We talked about the Rams being the best team in
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: football like heading into that that is a major feather
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: in decaf. And so the Panthers be sitting at seven
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: and six in the division where maybe they kind of
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: find a way to get into the postseason. Yeah, a
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: great job by Canal. It's Morgan everybody. More importantly, one
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: person in North Carolina's really happened.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: That's my little brother.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: My little brother loves I don't know why my little brother.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: He rise or dies with all things. He's up and
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: down on the emotional thing. He's super sad. I texted
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: him last night. He was like, finally, finally they're able
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: to get it done.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, like that. Who knows?
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: That's funny man.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I just pulled up my notes. I didn't realize. Gosh
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: it was I realized he'd been back in twenty twenties.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Derek Brown's been in the league for a minute now time.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Has excellent sized power and athleticism. As a pass rusher,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: quick first step uses his hands. He wins the violent
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: club swim move or rip move, or a nifty little
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: up and under counter move against the run. He can
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: easily hold the point of attack auburn product. Creates separation
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: from blockers with an explosive punch with allows him to
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: close quickly and make plays.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: His effort is consistent.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Overall, this is a complete player capable of dominating on
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: all three downs.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: He'll be a difference maker day one.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: What do you have on Jalen Cocher?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: You know he's basically jumped over exabularly yet you know
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: as the number two receiver to tet But he I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: know he's big, but.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: He looks like he runs really well.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll pull him up here. Cooker was in the
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: twenty four class. He went undrafted. He was at a
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: holy Cross six to oh one, three two oh eight,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: ran four five seven. He plays outside, he can change tempo,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: he can stutter go. That was kind of He had
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: some big plays, excellent ball skills in the red zone.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: He wasn't super dynamic after the catch in college. But
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: someone who can play above the rim, size, physicality.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, blocker too.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a big, strong, tough kid. I don't think you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think the route through holy Cross, uh is
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: going to be one that's not a tough kid. Now,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: if you can go from holy Cross to the National
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Football League undrafted player, I don't know if the being
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: tough is going.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: To be my find guy at holy Cross in the
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: NBA made every once in a while.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or lacrosse, I mean I think, yeah, get somebody there,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: no question, But man was it was a big time game.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Watching Lathan Ransom was a lot of fun. In this
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: game ball, you get a chance to break that one
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: down Bryce Young, buck. I was laughing because I was
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: like looking at looking at him on tape, and gosh,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I never get used to how small he looks like
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: for some reason, Kyler is smaller, but Kyler doesn't feel
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: as small. Rice feels so small. But he's got He's
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: done a really good job of just find the windows.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: He can kind of drift out of the pocket, find
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: different throwing lanes, little game of hot potato, and then
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: every now and then he'll he'll he'll get one deep.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: But this is this is the type of team he
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: was meant to play on where you've got a great defense.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Hey be efficient, create a couple of plays here and there,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: but just be smart. I mean, Bryce Young is an
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: incredibly smart kid.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Be smart.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Take what's there and it's fifteen for twenty. We're not
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: asking to throw it forty times two hundred and six
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: yards three touchdowns, and he's going to go use his
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: legs and go get a couple first downs with your
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: legs as well. Like he's playing exactly the way he
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: needs to play. And it's it's been a good fit
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: there with him and Dave Canalis, and it.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Has been a good fit and I think he's taking
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: a while with Dave Canalis to finally kind of settle
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: in and kind of figure out how to build and
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: called the game. But Bryce Young at quarterback. But Bryce
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: Young is the example of why you bet on the
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: person more so than all the talents and trace and
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: those things, because the reason why you bet on the
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: person is you bet on him being able to figure
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: it out. I think he showed a tremendous amount of growth.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: LEAs it's all he's done. Yeah, when that's all he's done.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: He bounced back, he handled the bitching the way that
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: you want, came back, played well, did the things that
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: you want to do. And you're right, DJ, his ego
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: isn't necessarily tied to the numbers. It's tied to winning
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: and all we want is a winning quarterback in Look, man,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: the Panthers are right there. They still need to add
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: some stuff to it, but you have to feel good
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: about like state of the franchise where they're going. They
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: do have some critical pieces figured out with the people
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: that they have in place.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young, by the way, a gat and put it
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: in the chat here third and fourth down eight to
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: ten for a Bucks sixty two and all three touchdowns
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: came on later downs, So impressive, impressive win there for
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers. Baldy Buffalo Pittsburgh. I mean, I guess
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: you can go wherever you want. You want to go,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: good Buffalo, bad Pittsburgh.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Uh, Well, when you run the ball for two hundred
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: and fifty yards, the most anybody's ever run the ball
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: against Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, two hundred and fifty yards, and
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: it was I mean, it was Ray Davis, it was
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: you know, it was uh Cook, it was it was everybody.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And really Josh didn't have to do very much in
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that game. They then played with two backup offense tackles,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Anderson's at the right tackle, vandem was at the left tackle.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Means it didn't seem to make any difference. Pittsburgh looks.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say they're disinterested, but nobody's doing anything.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Nate herber Nick Herbig is the only guy that made
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: a play on defense the whole day. He got a
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: ball out of the out of Cook's hands and they
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: recovered it. But they were so disappointing defensively and then offensively,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: they don't do anything. They throw to the backs doesn't
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: matter if Aaron Rodgers has a healthy hand and done,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: they can't get the ball down the field. And I
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: don't know I thought that. I thought Buffalo's defense, some
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: of the young guys, TJ. Sanders, some of those young guys,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Joey Bosa made the play of the day, you know,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to get the ball out of Aaron's hands.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: And you know, I thought that the corner like mad
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: made a.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Big play right there, made a couple of plays. I
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: got the interception, you got the fumble recover for the touchdown.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: So that was I mean, honestly, they were They never
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: seemed like they were into the game. They couldn't convert
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a fourth down. They blew two opportunities for fourth downs
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to continue drives, they couldn't make it. And just watching Aaron,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: like every time something goes wrong, he's just like like
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the emotion just comes out of him, Like it could
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: be his bad throat, it could be the receiver not
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: running the run the right route, or the running back
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you know, getting stoned at the line of scrimmage on
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: fourth down. He looks just totally frustrated.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I look at their defense and watching all the
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: runs that they gave up in this game, Buffalo ran
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the ball down their throats and I'm sitting there thinking, Okay,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: we always talk about using the phrase everybody's got to
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: be on a string, right, everybody's got to be playing together,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: everybody working as one. So if you were looking at
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: gaps and you just like put up like four fingers,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: like this would kind of like you're filling each one
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: of these gaps. Pittsburgh all they want you to put
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: up your four fingers. I can show you what that. Yeah,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: that's what they look like trying to fill those four gaps.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: You're gonna run right through there. It's a nice, big
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: wide opening. But I mean they've got plays where you'll
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: see secondary players they'll go to try and take on
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: a receiver just to get a hit, and I'm like,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: where are you going they go get they're running blocked. Yeah,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: it's it's the opposite of everything I've ever heard with
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: defensive football. It's like, don't go to get blocked, like
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: what are we doing? And then and then the corners
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: like they're contain they just get lost inside. And it
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: was equal opportunity because I had to look up James
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Pierre because I didn't know which number who that was
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: at that point in time. So James Pierre uh JPJ
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: happened to him. Huggers out of douggers out of position.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: You've got uh.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Uh Ramsey who is one of the ones at one time,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: he's just going to take on the receiver on the
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: balls coming right out, Like where are you going? What
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: are you guys doing? It's the opposite of being on
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: a string.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Buck, is what I was getting to Will.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: And I will say this because you and Baldy have
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: seen as a ton right. So everyone was talking about
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: the Buffalo Bills running basically two plays out of one formation,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: so it was like a snug package whatever, but really
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: what it is it's an unbalanced line. It's five to
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: a side, two to the backside, and if you don't
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: get aligned right, they'll gut you. They're running duo or
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: zone to that side and they're double team and everyone
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: on the front side because you don't have the numbers.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: And I'm sitting here and I'm like, okay, man, there's
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: some there's some bright minds, but this is kind.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Of like high school.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Like at some point they're gonna see and they make
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: it jump and never did they adjust properly to this thing?
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: And I've never seen this in a game where they
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: run for two ones and the fifty yards and they're
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: literally running zone to the strong side, zone to the backside,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: like over and over again. And it exposed to like
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: a discipline and attention to detail for the still is defense.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say this, the Stillers are known for
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the defense.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: The one thing that you have to be good at
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: if you're coaching, you got to be good on defense
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh, like that's what the people come to see
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: from the seventies.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: On and the fact that they're this bad on.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Defense, and as Baldi talked about, it's interested there's some
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: kind of disconnect that's going on there in the locker
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: room because I've never seen this happen from this team.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Baldi, I don't know what. I don't know where the
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: good is.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I I don't I'm trying to be positive on all
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: these things when you look at and go, Okay, what's
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: the what's the good? I mean, I think they have
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: some good young pieces on the offensive line.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: But.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like this offense, DJ is
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: literally Arthur is just there and he's just calling plays like.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: There's no feelin to anything.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just calling plays, you know, and ultimately it's a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: check down to warn or it's a check down, uh
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: you know to the backs. They don't they don't know
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: how to get the ball down the field. And you know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: and Aaron like when he gets a chance to make
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a throw, he didn't make a lot of them, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and the same same issues we saw in New York
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: last year where you know, he gets a receiver open,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it's third down, you got to make the throw. You
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: got to stay on the field, and the ball's bouncing
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: off the turf. It didn't look good. You know, there's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: too many If he's getting hit, that's one thing. But
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: when he said to his feet and he's making a
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: throw and he's got a good lane, like the ball
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: isn't going where he wants it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: To go, no doubt.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Before we before we scoot here, because that was all
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: the you know, the big ones we wanted to talk
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: about from Sunday. But I want to get back to
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: the previous games we had Thursday Friday. So I'm just
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: going to ask you, guys. I'm going to give you
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: the four options of the four teams the most impressive. Okay,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: you ready, Here's here's the four teams. Dallas is the team,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Green Bay, Chicago and Joe Burrow.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Those are the four.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Teams and his game. He could never play good in
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: two years. I know it's the best thing.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: But what happens when that guy comes back, Baldy? The
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: coffee tastes better, Everything just looks better, you know.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I actually I was listening to the postgame press conference
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night with him, and you know, he was
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: getting emotional because like, you know, why are you coming
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: back to play? And like he just likes to play,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you know, like this is the reason why you get
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: into this game. Yeah, the money, that all that stuff,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Like he just wants to play and just the opportunity
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to go out there.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: And throw the ball to Chase and do it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Like I was getting emotional just listening to him talk
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: about the opportunity out there.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Okay, So we talked about most impressive. I'm gonna say Chicago,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: And the only reason I want to bring up Chicago.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: I think we all expected the Green Bay packing to
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: be good, the Cowboys offense, I think we've talked about,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: but the Bears to go to Philadelphia and to Donkey
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: kick them in the running game like they did.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Like to me, that is emasculated for the I mean
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: just and like people will be always begging.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: But it's one thing to see that offensive line up
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: route Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis and put them on
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: skatese I know, we can talk about the scheme like
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: flat suite one way, cut back the other, but that
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: offensive line moved them off the ball. And that is
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: one of those things that when you put that on tape,
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: that is like, oh boy, not only for the Eagles
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: but for the Bears, Like, oh, this might be a
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: far more physical team than people envision. I mean, that
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: is ridiculous, you know, And as they're gaining confidence that
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: they can be what I call physical with pizazz Man,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: look out, I mean look at. They're not supposed to
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: be able to turn around in a year like that,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: but look out, because if they can run the football
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: like that, it opens up everything for what they want
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: So I was thinking about this, Has there ever been
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: a year where there's been a more impressive off season
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: in terms of the three piece baldy We've been talking
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: about forever with quarterbacks, young quarterbacks, the keys are the
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: three piece. You gotta have the right play caller, you
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: got to have protection, you gotta have playmakers. So if
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: you look at the offseason that they had, they remade
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: the entire offensive line. Yeah, I mean, which is playing
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: in this game, especially in the running of dominant But
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: they protected Caleb, so they take care of that playmakers.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: You go out in the draft and you get Loveland, Burden,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Manung guy, those guys all doing their things and as
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: new pieces in there, and then probably I don't know
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: that there's an argument right now the best play caller
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: with how he's going right now in the NFL and
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Ben Johnson like this, if you want a blueprint for
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: how to help a young talented quarterback, this is going
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: to be the blueprint going forward for people.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: And there's there's there's really.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you go in to Philly on a short
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: week like that and do what they did, like Bucky's
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: talking about. I mean, nobody has done about the Philadelphia's
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: defense in two years. Nobody's done that. No matter what
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Darnell right did, you just cave it into the whole
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: side of the line. He's never played better. He looks
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: like Pinney Sewell out there the way he's playing right now.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: But the one thing that's impressive, because so many teams
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: in this league, just watching these games week and week out,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: they don't know how to make a yard when they
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: need a yard. The Chicago Bears, I don't care if
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: it's on the goal line, if it's in the middle
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: of the field, if it's fourth and one. That team
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: knows how to make a yard. And it's not some
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: gimmick like. They just know how to move you and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: find the crease.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: And they did it. They did it repeatedly to the Eagles.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Man, there's a big time, big time performance. And the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Green Bay defense is for real. The Dallas offense is
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: for real. Their defense has gotten much better. You're seeing
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: some teams really surging right now. Man, it's fun to watch,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: and I think the commonality Buck. I was talking to
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Baldi earlier this morning and said, man, you look at
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: all these teams that are hot right now, with Houston
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: being one of them. Maybe at the top of the list.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Physicality is back, man. The Bears have proven that. You're
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: seeing that with a lot of these teams getting hot
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: right now, especially as the weather's changing. Man, the physical
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: teams are on the rise, and if you're not, you're
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: in big trouble right now.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the level of playing field.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: If you don't have the talent, you certainly can always
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: have the toughness, and the toughness shows up. The other
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: thing that stands out to me about the season, you
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: realize that it's marathon, not a sprint. I think about
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: all the teams that jump out, but the teams that
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: we're talking about now may have had poor starts, but
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: you're seeing them get better as we get to the finish.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: If you're able to keep perspective.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: On how long the season is. A coach can fix
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: the team after a slow first month. But you've got
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: to have that perspective and you got to be willing
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: to do the work and make the adjustments. But yeah,
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: it's a marathon, not a sprint.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: I'm real quick here.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Since DeMarco Jackson, I mean, obviously it's pretty impressive him
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and am Ed I mean those are the number four,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: number five linebackers.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: On that team. That's two weeks in a row.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Ozzie Trapil goes in and makes his you know, first
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: start over there at left tackle. Didn't have any issues
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: with Nolan Smith, anybody out there. I always think like
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: when it's the next guy up and they perform like
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: better than the stars or as good as the stars,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Like that's good coaching. That's good coaching, good scouting, good developing.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: And that's what you're seeing, you know, from the Bears right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Now, no doubt.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I mean we talked about earlier with I saw with
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: the charge of Kamani Bydell. You know, this is a
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Day three draft pick who's just knocking one hundred yard
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: games out like they're going out of style in there.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: So it's fun to.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Watch these guys get their opportunity to make the most
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: of them. Trapillo was a fun one to watch in
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: college too, so I'm happy he's doing well.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Was he ever at left tackle? Polston College?
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I only remember seeing him at right, But that was
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the question mark in training camp? Could he go over
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and play left?
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: You know who my comp was? Who haven Stein? Okay, yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: six eight? He was six oh eight one three, sixteen.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: There wasn't thirty three and times wentn't super long. Right tackle, lockout, control,
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: stays attached, balance, effective on combos, He can recover. I wrote,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: function over fashion not always the not always the prettiest there,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: but just got the job done. Baldy stayed attached, that
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: kept guys blocked. I have to go back to the
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: research final if he played on the other side, but
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: that's where he was.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: His last year.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Haven Stein's been in this league a long time.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Long time, had a great career. Yeah, Kevin Bayern got
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: his league leading sixth interception in that game. You know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I just remember doing like some Middle Tennessee State games
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: when he was there. Like his skills, it's crazy, like
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: his interception on Jalen Hurts, Like that's that's a true
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: center fielder with instincts, the right angle, like reading, the reading,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the route reading, you know, the scramble drill. That's six
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: in or seven. They like they're they have what what
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: do they have? Like seventeen interceptions right now? Like it's crazy,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: is the way they're taking the ball away, nay Sean
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Wright like all of them. They got Jalen Johnson back
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: right now, Like that secondary is really together.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Alli. I looked it up.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Ozzie Trapillou forty four career starts in college, twenty four
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: right tackle, twelve at left tackle.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: So he got a little work in there, which and
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: by the way, is such a great thing man, when
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: you're when you're scouting guys, guys that have had then
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: cross trained at different spots, because especially if you're not
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: a if you're not a first round pick, a good
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: chance you know you're not starting right away.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Ken, you've got to be the tween guys.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get us our five best guys out there and.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: That helps.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: All right, Baldy, you're the best, buddy. We'll see you
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: next week out there.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, there he goes, Buck Baldy, always generous for this time.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: I wanted to hit you with one other thing here
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: before we get out here. So I was talking to
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: a coaching buddy and we were talking about different offenses
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: around the league, and I brought up one of the
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: things that frustrates me with some of these offenses that
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I watch, and I'm like, I don't have any data
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: to support this, but it just I like when guys
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: get on the ball and go I don't when you
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: get up there and you just ask these linemen to
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: hold their water forever, and it's just there's no rhythm
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: or flow to it. When you're stagnant at the line
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage and it's not People get this confused and
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: they go, oh, youually want to want to hurry off offense.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not talking about that. I was talking
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: when you get.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Up there, I don't care if you wait in the
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: huddle forever. It's like it's like a batter going into
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: the batter's box with no pitching clock. And he's just
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: sitting there with a bat on his shoulder for fifty seconds,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: like you want to get in there, tap the plate
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: and let's let's get ready to go here. And he
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: brought up a great point, he said, and you know
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: they teams have all this stuff. I'm sure we could
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: find the numbers. But he said, do you know who
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: the two fastest teams are in terms of from breaking
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the huddle to snapping the ball, so not on the
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: play clock, just the time from breaking the huddle to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: snapping the ball. Are the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: And you'd be hard pressed to find two offenses that
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: are humming better than those two offices.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: You know what they do.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: They don't give you a chance to just take in
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: the picture. As a defense, they get on the ball
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: might be a quick shift quick, quick motion. Then we're going,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: we're not going to sit like I watched the Eagles
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: and it drives me bonkers.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: I watched them come up and they just sit there,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: and it's like they almost like, oh, crap, I guess
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: we better snap the ball now. Play clock's about to expire.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Like there's no rhythm to it, man, there's no flow
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: to it.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: So it's funny that you say this, right, because this
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: is an old school tactic that I learned from coach
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: Homebreen Mike Coman when he.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Was with the Green Bay Packers.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: When we would play defenses like the Pittsburgh Steelers who
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: were notorious for three or.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Four with all the movement. Yeah, people think tempo is
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: oh we're on the ball and going. Yeah.
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: When we played those teams, DJ it was huddle line
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: of scrimmage, Go, huddle line of.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Scrimmage, Go go, go exactly first sound go.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Because what it does is it cleans up all the pictures,
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: so now they can't do all that disguss stuff.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: They got to get after you. And then after you
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: do that for a while, now you're getting a vanilla
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: look from the defense and.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: Now you can get to the line bluffet, okay, reset
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: like you see Dak Prescott do, and then go to it.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: But it's the tempo to the ball going that allows
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: you to establish a rhythm because you said, as a quarterback,
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: you want to get in rhythm. To me, it's like
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: a picture. Some guys like to work quick, get the ball,
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: let's get to the rubber and go. It allows you
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: to kind of get into an offensive rhythm. So the
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: rhythm isn't just all we're fast. It's understanding what we're
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: trying to come. We're trying to get them out of
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: all that that garbage stuff that they give pre snap
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: so we can play.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care if you break the huddle with
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: ten seconds left on the play clock. It's not it's
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: not how fast, it's just it's just from huddle to
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: the snap. Like, that's the whole thing.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: I think there's a I think that's a great point, man,
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: and not a surprise that, you know, one of the
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: great offensive coaches was talking like that. Who you know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Homegrin comes from the probably the greatest off wall free ever.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: They talked about it.
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: That's how they eliminated They wanted they wanted the temple
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: there was a way that you broke the huddle, sprint
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: it to the line, got down and go. And when
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: you do that, you talk about Dallas Schottenheimer being able
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: to do it, who learned under Paul Hackett and all
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: those other guys who are West Coast people. Uh.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: And then Ben Johnson.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: Ben Johnson is just a masterful guy in terms of
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: understanding schematics of those things.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they may have cracked the code. Yeah, I think.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think have you ever heard anybody talk about
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: I've never heard anybody talk about that. But it's it's
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: interesting when you see something that's like from an instinct standpoint,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: it's like, man, doesn't feel rhythmy or flowy. And they're like,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: oh no, there's numbers on this. You can get the
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: statistics of how fast teams go from huddle to snap.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh that is interesting, man.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great thing. It's it's an underrated thing
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: in terms of being able to create an advantage in
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: those things.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: No doubt. All Right, this has been a fun one.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. I appreciate you guys listening to us.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: We will catch them all right here on move the sticks,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: h
