Speaker 1: Welcome to be our Handoff presented by Verizon. I'm Dan Heley.
0:03
Speaker 1: I'm your host, and week to week we have a
0:05
Speaker 1: host passing it off. This time is my turn to
0:07
Speaker 1: go ahead and break down some film talk, stats, talk personnel.
0:11
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Each week, a player asks the
0:14
Speaker 1: next host a question. This week, Nick Boden had one
0:17
Speaker 1: for me. Let's see what it was.
0:19
Speaker 2: Last week, Pastor Tan asked me my question, and now
0:21
Speaker 2: this week my question goes out to you, would you
0:24
Speaker 2: rather to have thirty degree weather and sunny our eighty
0:27
Speaker 2: degree weather and rainy. I know you're a South Cali guy.
0:30
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that you got got
0:32
Speaker 2: your mind in the right spot. Hopefully you picking the
0:34
Speaker 2: right answer. Well know next.
0:35
Speaker 1: Week, uh Man. First of all, either one is pretty
0:41
Speaker 1: tricky to answer, but I'm gonna have to go with
0:44
Speaker 1: that eighty with the rain right there. I think I'm
0:47
Speaker 1: gonna stay right in that eighty with the rain, just
0:49
Speaker 1: due to the fact, like he said, I'm so col
0:51
Speaker 1: born and raised, and I know how brisk it can
0:54
Speaker 1: get in that thirty degree weather. It could be a
0:56
Speaker 1: wind chill, it could be all type of stuff going on.
0:58
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the rain. You know, any weather's
1:00
Speaker 1: football weather, but with that rain is something cinematic about that.
1:03
Speaker 1: You get the camera out there, you get some good
1:05
Speaker 1: rain shots. I'm just saying, like, that's good football weather
1:08
Speaker 1: for me, coming straight off the bye week, feeling good,
1:11
Speaker 1: feeling healthy, it was a good week to have coming
1:15
Speaker 1: off a loss. Something that like that is not only
1:19
Speaker 1: it's a shell shock, but it's just more about keeping
1:22
Speaker 1: the team chemistry alive and making sure that we take
1:24
Speaker 1: this bye week seriously. And so for us right now,
1:27
Speaker 1: we're sitting seven to four second in our conference, right
1:31
Speaker 1: beneath the Broncos, and we're prepared. You know, That's what
1:34
Speaker 1: it comes down to, is us staying prepared, stay focused,
1:37
Speaker 1: and staying healthy. So for us, we needed this bye.
1:40
Speaker 1: We usually we get bye weeks early in the season,
1:43
Speaker 1: but this year blessed enough to have it right about now.
1:46
Speaker 1: It keeps it prepared for rolling into the playoffs. And
1:50
Speaker 1: something that our coach talked about this week was or today,
1:54
Speaker 1: was every game moving forward is a playoff game. And
1:57
Speaker 1: so that's where our mind is right now. That's where
1:59
Speaker 1: the team team is as far as our want to
2:03
Speaker 1: and now it's about figuring out how we get these wins,
2:06
Speaker 1: pull these off. But the main focus is the main thing,
2:08
Speaker 1: and that's just getting one win after another. And so
2:11
Speaker 1: the next one up is the Raiders. It's huge. These
2:15
Speaker 1: conference games are huge, and the reason why they're so
2:17
Speaker 1: big is because they count us too. We already have
2:21
Speaker 1: one up on them, and so it's trying to make it,
2:24
Speaker 1: you know, a sweep. So for us, this week is
2:27
Speaker 1: a huge one going against the Raiders, and then we have,
2:30
Speaker 1: you know, to get get those dudes that say the
2:32
Speaker 1: top right now, and that's the Broncos. And for us,
2:35
Speaker 1: we're focused preparing and making sure that we you know,
2:40
Speaker 1: treat every game like it's a playoff game right now.
2:43
Speaker 1: And I mean it's tough to be any division rival
2:47
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure, But it's all about, you know,
2:51
Speaker 1: focusing on the details. Because when you play a team
2:54
Speaker 1: back to back as many times as you do, especially
2:56
Speaker 1: in your conference, it's like they know your tendencies, we
3:00
Speaker 1: know theirs. So it's about keeping it fresh, making sure
3:03
Speaker 1: whatever they show up, I mean they show us, it's
3:05
Speaker 1: something that we can adapt to and we can continue
3:07
Speaker 1: to show them new looks. And so we prepared. We
3:11
Speaker 1: face some great quarterbacks in our conference, and right now
3:15
Speaker 1: our defense is looking to get back on the track.
3:19
Speaker 1: Based off our last game, we just felt like that
3:21
Speaker 1: wasn't our best and so right now, moving into the
3:23
Speaker 1: next week, we're trying to show the whole conference what
3:26
Speaker 1: we're about moving into the playoffs. All right, y'all, let's
3:28
Speaker 1: switch gears. Let's talk about that boy, Jamier gives out
3:31
Speaker 1: there Detroit. He was hooping hooping this week and he
3:36
Speaker 1: had definitely definitely had to play the week in my opinion,
3:38
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure in all of you guys opinion,
3:40
Speaker 1: But outside of him having to play of the week,
3:42
Speaker 1: the man had fifteen carries, two hundred nineteen rushing yards,
3:45
Speaker 1: eleven receptions, forty five reception yards, and three touchdowns. I
3:50
Speaker 1: mean snapping snapping, just the best way to put it
3:54
Speaker 1: is boys special. I mean it's something that he does
3:57
Speaker 1: day in and day out. I mean, every game not
3:59
Speaker 1: see him, he finds a way to make a play.
4:01
Speaker 1: And for me, I think he's special just due to
4:03
Speaker 1: the vision, the quick twitch, the sudden movements that he has. Man,
4:07
Speaker 1: he's one heck of a player and I know he's
4:09
Speaker 1: an offensive threat. Somebody got a game plan for somebody
4:12
Speaker 1: would definitely be on our board as a key player
4:15
Speaker 1: to stop. And I mean he proves it. He definitely
4:18
Speaker 1: proved it, and he proved it this week again. You
4:20
Speaker 1: got to be able to have an angles man. That's
4:22
Speaker 1: boy Gibbs. A hell of a play. Like I said, backfield,
4:26
Speaker 1: get the ball. Not only is it play pretty much
4:28
Speaker 1: disrupted in the backfield, but he has the vision, makes
4:30
Speaker 1: the cut, then he gets upfield and it's all him
4:34
Speaker 1: from there. That's just one heap of play. So let
4:36
Speaker 1: me see this, say, Jamier Gibbs touchdown put Gibbs in
4:39
Speaker 1: second place by himself for the second most touchdowns by
4:41
Speaker 1: a player under the age of twenty four. He has
4:44
Speaker 1: forty four touchdowns. Barry Sanders holds the record with forty seven.
4:48
Speaker 1: I mean, to have your name next to greatness like that,
4:52
Speaker 1: he definitely doing something right. Yeah, So shot at that,
4:55
Speaker 1: boy Gibbs, and that OT play. That OT play when
4:59
Speaker 1: the game, when you the player and they need you
5:01
Speaker 1: and you go out there. I think that was the
5:02
Speaker 1: first play from scrimmage right there on the first and
5:05
Speaker 1: ten game game on the line. Nasty work, nasty work.
5:11
Speaker 1: But speaking of that play, let's let's look and see
5:13
Speaker 1: what happened. Let's break it down a little bit from
5:16
Speaker 1: the perspective that I'm gonna look at, or I'm gonna take.
5:18
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and look at the linebacker's perspective.
5:20
Speaker 1: I'm a dim of will linebacker, so I'm usually on
5:23
Speaker 1: the outside of most formations. But right now, looking at
5:25
Speaker 1: how they plan, I'm looking at a single high safety
5:28
Speaker 1: right here. Single high safety. I think the first thing
5:32
Speaker 1: that quarterbacks try to do, whether it's runner pass or
5:35
Speaker 1: man's own, id see what the defense is giving them.
5:38
Speaker 1: Right now, Me being a linebacker, I'm looking at a
5:41
Speaker 1: single high safety rotation to other safety right here. I
5:45
Speaker 1: know that's Javon Holland my dog. He a baller. He's
5:48
Speaker 1: rotated real low, so I'm knowing it gotta be single
5:51
Speaker 1: high for him to drop from that low. That'd be crazy.
5:55
Speaker 1: But looking at these corners, you got the corner playing
5:58
Speaker 1: off about what that look about seven yards, So I'm
6:02
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, they definitely going single high, which means
6:05
Speaker 1: that they can play both pass and run. This is
6:08
Speaker 1: a great run and pass defense right here, so I
6:11
Speaker 1: would think this is the right call as far as
6:14
Speaker 1: the defense go. Just looking at this willbacker. That's where
6:17
Speaker 1: I would be. The reason he's lost over to the
6:19
Speaker 1: central formation is because the rotation is down to the
6:22
Speaker 1: left and they have a trip set right here. The
6:25
Speaker 1: offense has a trip set so when they load, when
6:29
Speaker 1: they load the offense to their left, that's why the
6:32
Speaker 1: defense shifts over a little bit, so they can be
6:34
Speaker 1: over there ready for anything like a sweep, a toss
6:37
Speaker 1: in what Jaimir gives, that's always a threat. He's so fast.
6:40
Speaker 1: Getting him to the outside is an advantage for any offense,
6:43
Speaker 1: especially Detroit. So I can see that's why the defense
6:46
Speaker 1: is loaded to the left. So if you see the bodies,
6:49
Speaker 1: you got one, two, three, four, five all loaded just
6:54
Speaker 1: like they do one two three, and then add the
6:58
Speaker 1: running back that's four. It's about counting and giving the
7:01
Speaker 1: balance of the defense to balance the offense. So that's
7:04
Speaker 1: just a little pre snaper read right there for you.
7:06
Speaker 1: Let's get into it a little bit. Okay, right there,
7:09
Speaker 1: you see that motion, Why do you motion or receiver
7:14
Speaker 1: closer to the box? High alert for run, high aler
7:18
Speaker 1: for run. You want to add another body, You want
7:20
Speaker 1: to get some protection, You want to make sure that
7:22
Speaker 1: they can open more gaps it's a numbers game. You
7:26
Speaker 1: want to get them in the box. You want to
7:27
Speaker 1: get them the block. And that's an elite receiver right there.
7:31
Speaker 1: Armorraw motion it in to go block, doing the dirty work.
7:35
Speaker 1: A lot of guys in this league, receivers, the high
7:37
Speaker 1: paid ones don't do the dirty work. So respect to
7:40
Speaker 1: that man for motion into that box. When you a linebacker,
7:43
Speaker 1: one of your number one keys is outside in you
7:46
Speaker 1: read that tight end. You read the triangle, so to speak.
7:49
Speaker 1: You read the tight end that tackle, and it goes
7:52
Speaker 1: to the backfield. That's where you get your run pass
7:54
Speaker 1: for you from. This is the triangle. So right here,
7:59
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a run pasad for the safety. This
8:04
Speaker 1: this is interesting right here, And the reason why I
8:07
Speaker 1: say it's interesting is because the safety Javon, it looks
8:11
Speaker 1: like he's blitzing. It looks like he's he's going on
8:14
Speaker 1: the pressure edge pressure. Let me see right here. Yeah,
8:18
Speaker 1: it looks like he's going on the edge pressure right here.
8:20
Speaker 1: That's interesting, which would put them in sort of a
8:23
Speaker 1: fire zone right here. A fire zone for instance, if
8:27
Speaker 1: you send pressure off the edge, that would make this
8:29
Speaker 1: man a flat player, this man and three player, and
8:33
Speaker 1: this man a flat player. So you got three dudes.
8:37
Speaker 1: It's pretty much three under three d pretty much, and
8:40
Speaker 1: you sending pressure. So now you got five rushers up front.
8:44
Speaker 1: You got five rushers up front. It should cover all gaps. Honestly,
8:49
Speaker 1: it should cover all gaps. But seeing what Gibbs did,
8:53
Speaker 1: it did not cover all gaps. Boom, he found a way.
8:56
Speaker 1: Now I'm not the Giants coach, so I'm gonna steer
9:01
Speaker 1: clear of being too trying to be too much of
9:04
Speaker 1: a critic because football is football and at the end
9:07
Speaker 1: of the day, whatever happens on that field is between
9:08
Speaker 1: the man and the man in front of them. So
9:11
Speaker 1: it looks like this edge right here is doing the
9:13
Speaker 1: work in the backfield, doing real damage. But Gibbs makes
9:17
Speaker 1: the play. He makes the play, he sees it, he
9:19
Speaker 1: sees him in the backfield, makes a cut. That's just amazing.
9:23
Speaker 1: Right there, that's amazing. That's where you got to give
9:26
Speaker 1: credit to the running back right there. This is him
9:28
Speaker 1: making the play. This place should be stopped. That's dominance
9:30
Speaker 1: right there by the edge. He makes that cut, He
9:33
Speaker 1: gets upfield, finds the lane and right here, no man
9:36
Speaker 1: staying right here. And what I mean by that is
9:40
Speaker 1: anybody player to make and that goes for the defense,
9:43
Speaker 1: that goes for the defense, that goes for the offense.
9:45
Speaker 1: And I mean when I say the offense, the running back,
9:47
Speaker 1: and that goes for the safety. What it comes down
9:49
Speaker 1: to is this man right here, This is a play
9:53
Speaker 1: he has to make for his team. Right here is
9:56
Speaker 1: just you and him. There's nothing but spacing opportunity. As
9:59
Speaker 1: someone will say in the streets, is a number of
10:00
Speaker 1: space and opportunity. He comes down. This is one Monoymno,
10:05
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. Speed, Speed happens. That's what happens.
10:13
Speaker 1: You getting a man like that, all this open space,
10:16
Speaker 1: all he has to do is run away from you.
10:18
Speaker 1: Now there's no shot at this safety. That's one hell
10:20
Speaker 1: of a player for sure. But Jamier as well is
10:23
Speaker 1: a hell of a player. So, like I said, man
10:25
Speaker 1: versus man, and the fastest man won this battle right here.
10:29
Speaker 1: I will say the only thing I think that he
10:32
Speaker 1: could have done as a safety in this situation is
10:34
Speaker 1: probably attack the line of scrimmage faster, get a run,
10:37
Speaker 1: pass read a little bit better. But I mean, this
10:41
Speaker 1: is a hell of a talent right here. But I've
10:43
Speaker 1: seen twenty four make a lot of players in this league,
10:45
Speaker 1: so no doubt he'll get that shot again. He'll make
10:47
Speaker 1: something happen. Shout out Gibbs, man, this is one help
10:49
Speaker 1: of play and like I said, in the clutch first
10:52
Speaker 1: and ten, put the ball in his hands, he'll make
10:54
Speaker 1: a play. But speaking of the Lions though in general, man,
10:57
Speaker 1: that's the one heck of a team. Seeing that they
10:59
Speaker 1: are not in the playoff picture right now is shocking,
11:02
Speaker 1: but that just shows how much firepower is over there
11:04
Speaker 1: in the NFC right now. But one hell of a team,
11:08
Speaker 1: not only as Dan Campbell a hell of a coach,
11:10
Speaker 1: but just the staff that he's assembled around him has
11:13
Speaker 1: proven to be true losing coaches in the offseason but
11:17
Speaker 1: still being able to put up the numbers and have
11:20
Speaker 1: the team perform as they do. They're not out of it.
11:24
Speaker 1: They're not out of it. Respect to the players that
11:26
Speaker 1: they got tandem in that backfield, one heck of a
11:30
Speaker 1: duo running backs, a heck of a receiving corps, and
11:33
Speaker 1: I could talk about the offensive line all day and
11:35
Speaker 1: golf of course, but man, that's the hell of a team.
11:38
Speaker 1: And I respect to the Giants as well. They put
11:40
Speaker 1: a hell of a fight a hell of an effort.
11:42
Speaker 1: That was a good game overall. But it's a tight
11:45
Speaker 1: race over there in the NFC. And I wouldn't count
11:48
Speaker 1: out the Lions, not yet. Man, not yet. I wouldn't
11:50
Speaker 1: count on anybody over there, just due to the fact
11:52
Speaker 1: that we got so much season left. You know what
11:54
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But shout out them guys. Enough with that
11:57
Speaker 1: offense to talk. Let's talk about the deepest performance, now
12:00
Speaker 1: only by a single player, but by the whole defensive team.
12:02
Speaker 1: That's side of the ball. Them Texas, Man, them Texas
12:06
Speaker 1: win against not only a good offense, but a great
12:09
Speaker 1: quarterback in Josh Allen, and they got to him good man.
12:12
Speaker 1: Eight sacks, they went crazy, two interceptions, three turnovers, nineteen
12:16
Speaker 1: points allowed. I mean that is something that a defensive
12:19
Speaker 1: coordinator dreams about. Man, that's just one heck of a
12:22
Speaker 1: game plan, not only by the coach but executed by
12:25
Speaker 1: the players. Shout out them boys out there, and not
12:28
Speaker 1: only with my looking at well we all looking at
12:31
Speaker 1: this right now. Look at them that comes down, the effort,
12:34
Speaker 1: that comes down the angles, that comes down to hustle,
12:36
Speaker 1: and want to right there, I'm looking at them boys
12:39
Speaker 1: swarming in that red It's a good thing to see.
12:42
Speaker 1: As a defensive player, I can respect any team no
12:44
Speaker 1: matter whether they're going against me or we're going against them.
12:48
Speaker 1: I can respect any team that's playing good defense. Man.
12:50
Speaker 1: That's what's I live by it. I play defense. So
12:53
Speaker 1: I am one of those who preaches defensive win championships
12:56
Speaker 1: and offensive tickets. I ap preach that. But shout out
12:59
Speaker 1: them boys over there. I mean Will Anderson, he went crazy,
13:04
Speaker 1: Daniel Hunter went crazy. Kaitlyn Bullock a dog back there.
13:08
Speaker 1: I seen both interceptions, and I've seen the force rumble.
13:11
Speaker 1: The man's a ball hawk, as it will say. So
13:14
Speaker 1: I think that defense was booming. And Josh Allen, I
13:17
Speaker 1: mean just was the MVP, so seeing him out there,
13:21
Speaker 1: I know he got a little frustrated. But what it
13:23
Speaker 1: comes down to is is good defense can be good
13:25
Speaker 1: offense for sure, for sure. But respect to them boys,
13:29
Speaker 1: respect to that coach Demik O'Ryan. He put a hell
13:32
Speaker 1: of a scheme together and they executed that thing right there,
13:35
Speaker 1: for sure. It's like I said, I appreciate good, good
13:39
Speaker 1: defensive play, all right, talking about it, Let's get into
13:41
Speaker 1: it though. Let's see a couple of these We had
13:43
Speaker 1: a couple of sacks going on. Let's see who got
13:45
Speaker 1: this one right here? All right, first play, let's talk
13:47
Speaker 1: about is this Will Anderson right here. Let's see man
13:50
Speaker 1: standing up, looking like you ready to go get it.
13:53
Speaker 1: That's what I like to see. I like that stance,
13:55
Speaker 1: that stand upstands. It just shows that it could be anything.
14:00
Speaker 1: Need the power, one arm, a nice little spipe move.
14:03
Speaker 1: You ain't no telling what's coming out of that stands.
14:05
Speaker 1: But understanding that what Anderson has a bag and I
14:08
Speaker 1: know he can get into it. Let's see what happens. Boom, Okay,
14:14
Speaker 1: speed to power, one hand, get off me. Dog work,
14:18
Speaker 1: dog work, And let's let's talk about this. You going
14:22
Speaker 1: against the left tackle. That ain't no slouch. Yeah, that's Dowkins.
14:25
Speaker 1: That ain't no slouch. That's a dog right there. No
14:28
Speaker 1: known for stopping some of the best pass rushers in
14:30
Speaker 1: the game. So mad respect to not only him, but
14:34
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, just shows how improved of
14:39
Speaker 1: a player Will Anderson is. It doesn't matter who's in
14:43
Speaker 1: front of him. It's looking like we got pressed man
14:45
Speaker 1: down at the bottom. Yeah thirteen, it's looking like man
14:50
Speaker 1: right now, when you put your defense in man let
14:53
Speaker 1: me tell you something. When you put your defensive man,
14:55
Speaker 1: you're saying that your pass rush can get there. You
14:58
Speaker 1: believe in the dominance of your past rush. You know
15:00
Speaker 1: that r dbs can hold their receivers long enough for
15:06
Speaker 1: our defensive line to go make that play. And I
15:09
Speaker 1: think that's what you see right here. The middle is
15:12
Speaker 1: completely shot right here. These two d tackles right here
15:16
Speaker 1: are working. He's going with a double. But mind you
15:19
Speaker 1: I'm looking at is that that right guard. He's looking
15:22
Speaker 1: at the neil hunter. So he's only there temporarily because
15:25
Speaker 1: he's trying to make sure he can help the center
15:27
Speaker 1: as well as the tackle on the right side of them.
15:31
Speaker 1: He has the single block right here, which means he
15:33
Speaker 1: get to go both ways. But because of this scheme,
15:37
Speaker 1: like I said, because of the scheme, it gave Will
15:39
Speaker 1: Anderson a single block. When you look in at pass
15:42
Speaker 1: for a scheme, you always want to get your best
15:44
Speaker 1: rushers a single block and less then work. Let them
15:48
Speaker 1: cook go in that bag a little bit Right here though,
15:51
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at is that little shimmy right here?
15:56
Speaker 1: This is called speed to power. Right here, you get
15:58
Speaker 1: off the line quick burst, you give that little stutter
16:01
Speaker 1: right here, so you go boom speed. When you do
16:05
Speaker 1: that little shemmy right there, that's you going into power.
16:09
Speaker 1: When you speed, that shocks to tackle basically makes him
16:13
Speaker 1: get out faster thinking that you're going to outrun him
16:15
Speaker 1: on the edge. This is what the tackle thought he
16:18
Speaker 1: was gonna do. When you give him a chimmy, it
16:20
Speaker 1: then slows him down to where he's off balance, he's
16:23
Speaker 1: on his heels and he can power through him. That's
16:26
Speaker 1: what that was right there. That's why we call it
16:28
Speaker 1: speed to power. You give him that shemy, put him
16:31
Speaker 1: on his heels, boom straight through his chest all the
16:34
Speaker 1: way to the QB. Because even though it's a single
16:37
Speaker 1: block by Will Anderson, he does the work. It's all connected.
16:41
Speaker 1: Everything is connected. What did I just tell you about
16:43
Speaker 1: this guard right here? He's waiting to help his tackle.
16:46
Speaker 1: But if he never gets to his tackle, that pressure
16:49
Speaker 1: that Daniella Hunter is putting on Daniel Hunter is putting
16:52
Speaker 1: on Josh, he ends up in his face. Josh feels
16:55
Speaker 1: that he's a QB with amazing pocket awareness. He feels
16:59
Speaker 1: that it makes him step up. But when you step up,
17:02
Speaker 1: you have nowhere to go. You're looking for escape. Routes.
17:05
Speaker 1: You can't go too deep in the pocket. It gives
17:08
Speaker 1: Will Anderson the opportunity to peel off inside and get
17:13
Speaker 1: that sack. That right there is team effort right there.
17:16
Speaker 1: Beautiful play by the demis a line the nil Hunter,
17:19
Speaker 1: and incorporate it and everybody involved, Will Anderson for sure.
17:23
Speaker 1: All right, so right here the nil hunter, I mean,
17:27
Speaker 1: two elite passwords on the field the same at the
17:29
Speaker 1: same time. A QB's nightmare. He's a h shake a
17:34
Speaker 1: little bit boom. That's the thing, man, when you when
17:38
Speaker 1: you when you are elite at your job, not only
17:43
Speaker 1: does it make you like you know, somebody to be feared,
17:47
Speaker 1: but it also makes you a target. So respect to Dawkins.
17:50
Speaker 1: They probably was going at bro switching off just to
17:54
Speaker 1: get him on his heels. All right, let's look at
17:56
Speaker 1: this play. Boom boom woo. I gotta show love to them.
18:04
Speaker 1: D Tackles man, them D Tackles is funneling all the
18:08
Speaker 1: work inside and making the QB panic cause when that
18:13
Speaker 1: pocket condenses, and right now, it looks pretty, it looks
18:16
Speaker 1: pretty wide open. It looks like he has a million lanes.
18:18
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about pass rushing. You always know
18:21
Speaker 1: where he could possibly go. That rhymes bar Come on,
18:26
Speaker 1: go ahead, write that down. So right here, he he
18:28
Speaker 1: looks like he's stepping up into the pocket. It looks
18:31
Speaker 1: like he has a many a million options. But because
18:33
Speaker 1: the Neil hunters up top and he has his arm free,
18:36
Speaker 1: you always rush to keep one arm free. It gives
18:39
Speaker 1: him the ability to spend out the block. And I know,
18:44
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, Josh Allen has great pocket awareness.
18:48
Speaker 1: He feels that he circles away. Not only is he
18:50
Speaker 1: getting closed in by two, he's trying to work back
18:54
Speaker 1: to the opposite side of the field, but that's the speed,
18:58
Speaker 1: that speed right there. He doesn't make it. Now, if
19:02
Speaker 1: he did make it, he would probably have an out.
19:05
Speaker 1: Not only would he have a pass right here to
19:07
Speaker 1: the running back, but Will Anderson he let go the edge.
19:11
Speaker 1: Since Will went inside, there's a great chance that Josh Allen,
19:16
Speaker 1: being the talent that he is, couldn't make it back
19:17
Speaker 1: this way. But since we're talking about talent Daniel Hunter,
19:23
Speaker 1: he has it all right here on this play Boom backfield,
19:26
Speaker 1: TfL sack and you got a swarm and swarming linebacker
19:31
Speaker 1: right there. So if it wasn't gonna be him, It
19:35
Speaker 1: definitely would have been somebody else. Like I said earlier, Man,
19:38
Speaker 1: this defense was swarming all day. Look at all I
19:42
Speaker 1: read around that. That's one, two, three, folk five dudes
19:48
Speaker 1: closer to the opposite quarterback than the offensive line. That's
19:53
Speaker 1: a tough day. That's a tough thing for any quarterback
19:56
Speaker 1: to handle. But it's more so about what the defense
19:58
Speaker 1: was doing than with the offense doing on these plays. So,
20:01
Speaker 1: just talking about that defense right there, are they a
20:03
Speaker 1: top five defense? Much respect of those guys. I think
20:06
Speaker 1: for sure they have the talent to be a top
20:08
Speaker 1: five defense, if not already right now. I'm not one
20:11
Speaker 1: of those guys who checked the stats, but I would
20:14
Speaker 1: definitely say they up there, theay up there, especially with
20:16
Speaker 1: that performance right there and how they just got on
20:19
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I definitely say they have top five defense.
20:22
Speaker 1: Just thinking about top five defense, I'm gonna definitely put
20:24
Speaker 1: the Chargers up there because I'm on that defense and
20:27
Speaker 1: I know how much we prepare for every team and
20:29
Speaker 1: what we can do. And then not only that, I
20:31
Speaker 1: definitely say much respect to Green Bay Packers, the Rams
20:36
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure, the Broncos. I think I want
20:41
Speaker 1: to say the Ravens have been up there these past
20:44
Speaker 1: few these past few weeks, the Ravens have made a
20:47
Speaker 1: lot of turnaround in what they doing. Uh, and then
20:51
Speaker 1: I will say my lives would probably be it's a
20:55
Speaker 1: tough one. I would say the Eagles. Don't mean I'm
21:00
Speaker 1: this because the last game, like so much stuff is changing.
21:02
Speaker 1: Like the last game in versus Dallas, I really thought
21:05
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be an easy dub. You know,
21:07
Speaker 1: as far as how they played in the first few quarters,
21:10
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like they already had it sold up. But
21:13
Speaker 1: you know, just long term how they've been playing though,
21:16
Speaker 1: they have been the top five demens in my opinion.
21:18
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go ahead and go with them for sure.
21:23
Speaker 1: Now it's time for a better deal segment where I'm
21:25
Speaker 1: choosing between one and two scenarios, a late fourth quarter
21:28
Speaker 1: interception or a late fourth quarter sack for me personally, hint,
21:32
Speaker 1: somebody is like the momentum shift at any point in
21:34
Speaker 1: the game. But to get a sack at the end
21:37
Speaker 1: of a game in a clutch, crucial situation, I think
21:41
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna go with. So the fourth quarter sack,
21:43
Speaker 1: I think that's the situation that I'm gonna have to
21:46
Speaker 1: choose because not only is it momentum shift, but it
21:51
Speaker 1: means so much when you can get a sack on
21:54
Speaker 1: your side of the thirty forty. It's all about field
21:57
Speaker 1: field advantageing and where you put the ball. So I
22:00
Speaker 1: think that's a big momentum shift, and it takes me back. Man.
22:04
Speaker 1: I had a crucial sack earlier in the season, first
22:06
Speaker 1: game actually in Brazil. So that was lit against Patrick Mahomes.
22:10
Speaker 1: Respect to the talent that he is, respect to the
22:13
Speaker 1: team that he has, but just having that moment where
22:16
Speaker 1: it was a do or die situation, getting them off
22:19
Speaker 1: the field, making sure that we were in they were
22:22
Speaker 1: in our territory, protecting the end zone. It's something that we,
22:25
Speaker 1: you know, we have to be prideful about as a defense.
22:28
Speaker 1: And so for me to get that sack, it was
22:30
Speaker 1: huge momentum. The live the fans, so many people had
22:34
Speaker 1: knew nothing about football, but they was cheering for that play.
22:37
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying, momentum man. Shout out Brazil,
22:40
Speaker 1: shout out the Chargers, and that was one heck of
22:43
Speaker 1: a play. I remember like it was yesterday. QB Spy.
22:47
Speaker 1: I'm off to the left side of the center. We know,
22:50
Speaker 1: after just studying film, that Mahomes was a QB that
22:53
Speaker 1: would like to scramble through the B gap. So we
22:55
Speaker 1: opened up the B gap on purpose so I would
22:58
Speaker 1: be able to rap. So it was like a baits
23:00
Speaker 1: which I was baiting him hoping he would go through
23:01
Speaker 1: the B gap. He did. I had to trust my speed.
23:04
Speaker 1: He's one heck of an elusive guy when he's breaking
23:06
Speaker 1: the pocket. I had to trust my speed, trust my
23:09
Speaker 1: angle and make the play they got made. We talk
23:12
Speaker 1: about it today history and right now, speaking of defense
23:18
Speaker 1: performances and dominant players in this league, let's talk about
23:23
Speaker 1: one of the most dominant players as of today, Miles Garrett.
23:26
Speaker 1: And look at what he's been doing. Man, Look at
23:28
Speaker 1: that last game against the Raiders right now, Man, he's
23:30
Speaker 1: been dominant. Four tackles, three sacks for TFLs, two forced promos.
23:34
Speaker 1: The man is on fire, not only in this time
23:37
Speaker 1: that we are in, but in all of history. Man,
23:39
Speaker 1: I've been seeing all types of stuff about the records
23:41
Speaker 1: he's been breaking, and not only breaking the ones he's
23:45
Speaker 1: been making. So shout out to that boy, Miles Garrett
23:48
Speaker 1: and what he's got going on right now. He's cooking.
23:50
Speaker 1: He's one hundred percent cooking. And if I'm not mistaken,
23:53
Speaker 1: the man is at eighteen sacks right now, and I
23:57
Speaker 1: think the record is twenty two, twenty two and a
23:59
Speaker 1: half not and who holds that straight hand? I think
24:04
Speaker 1: straight hand got to watch out for that one, because
24:05
Speaker 1: Miles is cooking and he has six more weeks to
24:08
Speaker 1: get that done. So shout out to Miles Garrett. For sure.
24:12
Speaker 1: He's a dominant player in this league right now, in
24:16
Speaker 1: the league as it stands in history. Just let's take
24:20
Speaker 1: a look at that last game right there, please, he
24:23
Speaker 1: was going off. I think he's had multiple forsac games
24:26
Speaker 1: this season alone, and he's not stopping. I don't see
24:30
Speaker 1: him stopping anytime soon. Then, just talking about this year
24:34
Speaker 1: and the possibility of being a dp O why Devise
24:37
Speaker 1: player the year, I think he's up there. I think,
24:40
Speaker 1: in my opinion, he's probably has the highest chances, just
24:44
Speaker 1: due to the fact that he's making history right now.
24:46
Speaker 1: And I mean, who loves more history than the NFL itself.
24:51
Speaker 1: You know, we love people who touch the record books,
24:53
Speaker 1: and so just looking at him and all the things
24:55
Speaker 1: he's been doing so far, I mean, the biggest thing
24:58
Speaker 1: about it is the consistency. Doing it one season is
25:01
Speaker 1: one thing, but to continue to do it throughout your
25:04
Speaker 1: career is why he differs from a lot of players. Man,
25:07
Speaker 1: he is dominating season after season after season. You can
25:11
Speaker 1: stack dage, you can stack plays, you can stack seasons.
25:13
Speaker 1: That's when you know you're on your way to do
25:16
Speaker 1: some great things. And I can say a lot of
25:18
Speaker 1: things about Miles Geart. He's not my teammate, and I
25:20
Speaker 1: can still praise him, but amazing, dude, he's separating hisself
25:24
Speaker 1: from the rest, for sure. And then let's talk about
25:27
Speaker 1: the office side of the ball. You look at Miles
25:29
Speaker 1: Garrett dominating on the DEFs side of the ball, and
25:31
Speaker 1: then you give that boy Shad Or Sanders a shot
25:34
Speaker 1: to go make plays on the off side of ball.
25:36
Speaker 1: And just looking at him and what he was able
25:38
Speaker 1: to do in his first start, very impressive by him, man,
25:41
Speaker 1: very impressive. Eleven for twenty two hundred and nine passing yards,
25:44
Speaker 1: one touchdown, and I mean, just overall dominance in winning
25:48
Speaker 1: the game, you know what I'm saying. That's what it
25:50
Speaker 1: comes down to, is being able to win as a
25:51
Speaker 1: QB in this league. It's hard, and that's I mean,
25:55
Speaker 1: the Browns haven't been winning this year, so for him
25:58
Speaker 1: to come out first start, which I've heard has not
26:00
Speaker 1: been really a thing known for Browns qbs to win
26:04
Speaker 1: in their first start, so him being one of the
26:05
Speaker 1: first to do it isn't truly impressive thing. No matter
26:08
Speaker 1: who the opponent was, I feel like respect to him
26:10
Speaker 1: and whatever he was able to do out there. I
26:13
Speaker 1: did watch the game and I seen one hell of
26:16
Speaker 1: a throw rolling to his right, pressure on him, lays
26:19
Speaker 1: it out. I wish the receiver would have stayed up
26:22
Speaker 1: man and rolled into the end zone for sure. For sure,
26:24
Speaker 1: just respect for the game because it was a hell
26:26
Speaker 1: of a play, but not I just I just got
26:29
Speaker 1: mad respect for him to uh withstand all the battles
26:34
Speaker 1: in triumph at the end. I mean, it's not over
26:36
Speaker 1: for him. The journey's just beginning, but so far he
26:39
Speaker 1: hasn't had it easy, and that's something that you gotta respect.
26:43
Speaker 1: He comes in, he's not what he thought it would be,
26:46
Speaker 1: but then he's motivated to make it what he wants
26:49
Speaker 1: it to be, and I think that's right. There is
26:51
Speaker 1: a story in itself, So wishing him nothing but the
26:54
Speaker 1: best except for when he plays the charges obviously, and
26:57
Speaker 1: then speaking of quarterbacks, me being the line back and
27:00
Speaker 1: seeing the other side of it, I want to give
27:03
Speaker 1: a little shout out to the god who need a
27:04
Speaker 1: little bit more shine. I feel like it's quarterbacks that
27:07
Speaker 1: you have a lot of respect in the game. But
27:12
Speaker 1: I think the outside people don't see it as much
27:14
Speaker 1: as we do because they're not involved as we are.
27:18
Speaker 1: But just thinking about some right now that I can
27:19
Speaker 1: run off the top of my head, I will say
27:21
Speaker 1: one justin Herbert no brainer. Yes I'm biased, but also
27:25
Speaker 1: I do see the work that the man puts in.
27:26
Speaker 1: I see the arm talent that he has. I see
27:28
Speaker 1: everything that he does from Monday to Sunday, and I mean,
27:34
Speaker 1: it's the reason why he's on this list, and I
27:36
Speaker 1: just hate the fact that it's underrated because he deserves
27:39
Speaker 1: to be higher. And much respect to him. He knows
27:43
Speaker 1: how to make the plays when it's time to make
27:45
Speaker 1: the plays. So much respect to Jay herbo All Love.
27:49
Speaker 1: I will say number two, Jordan Love. I mean young
27:54
Speaker 1: talent and Ben Booming. If you just look at the
27:57
Speaker 1: plays that he make, I want to say his command
27:59
Speaker 1: of his off is one of the more impressive things
28:01
Speaker 1: that I see from just watching film of them. Jordan
28:04
Speaker 1: Love is a guy who can make every throw but
28:07
Speaker 1: also doesn't have a problem getting dirty and getting downfield.
28:09
Speaker 1: So just that dog mentality. All of these quarterbacks that
28:12
Speaker 1: I'm naming, I think they have that dog mentality, and
28:15
Speaker 1: so I would get into that. Going from dog mentality,
28:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into number three, I'm gonna say Jared Goff.
28:22
Speaker 1: Jared Goff just looking at his micd up just this
28:25
Speaker 1: last week, this last game where he told his team
28:27
Speaker 1: like nobody coming to save us. I think that's that
28:30
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of praise. That leadership. I think that's
28:34
Speaker 1: something that a QB has to have, and I think
28:36
Speaker 1: majority of them have that. But just also his commanded
28:39
Speaker 1: offense as well. He is able to make the checks,
28:44
Speaker 1: make all the calls. He's one of those more veteran
28:47
Speaker 1: qbs in the league right now, and the league is
28:50
Speaker 1: really young. So Jay Goff being a veteran in this league,
28:53
Speaker 1: when you approach qbs like that, you gotta respect They're no.
28:57
Speaker 1: For the game number four, I would say Kayler Williams.
29:05
Speaker 1: Kyler Williams for sure. The reason I'm gonna say killer
29:07
Speaker 1: Williams is because what he's doing this season with this
29:13
Speaker 1: Bears team is I mean, we kind of expected him
29:17
Speaker 1: to be this the season he got drafted because we
29:20
Speaker 1: felt like he had all the weapons there. But what
29:22
Speaker 1: he's doing right now is showing why he was picked
29:25
Speaker 1: to where he was. And if you look at Kayler Williams,
29:29
Speaker 1: like just one game, you're gonna see five highlights that
29:33
Speaker 1: a QB just don't do on a regular Sunday. His
29:37
Speaker 1: scramble to throw is it's like no other uh. And
29:42
Speaker 1: then I mean just his pocket awareness is definitely of
29:45
Speaker 1: the upper the upper class, so disrespect to him in
29:48
Speaker 1: his game. And then I will say five. I would
29:52
Speaker 1: probably go with cam Wood. The reason I'm gonna put
29:56
Speaker 1: cam Woard right here is because I feel like his
29:58
Speaker 1: talent is it's so it pops off the screen for sure.
30:04
Speaker 1: If you watch his games and how you play the
30:06
Speaker 1: challeng just pops off the screen. He has the ability
30:10
Speaker 1: to make every throw. His decision making is progressing, is
30:14
Speaker 1: getting better as the season goes. Right now, it just
30:17
Speaker 1: comes down to, you know, being better in the pocket.
30:22
Speaker 1: And then you know, I'm no QB, so I can't
30:24
Speaker 1: really coach you, but just being better in the pocket.
30:26
Speaker 1: I think once he gets all that down and squared,
30:29
Speaker 1: he gonna be one of the best qbs in this
30:31
Speaker 1: league for years to come. I mean, the guy is
30:33
Speaker 1: a dog, so much respect to him. For sure, those
30:36
Speaker 1: are my five most underrated, but I think that all
30:39
Speaker 1: five of these guys can easily be top five qbs
30:42
Speaker 1: in this league. I mean, if not today, tomorrow, and
30:46
Speaker 1: so forth. Before I go, let me hand off this
30:49
Speaker 1: one to Nick Bonito. I do have a question for
30:52
Speaker 1: you though, before I go. We both just had BIE weeks.
30:55
Speaker 1: On my bye week, I chilled got with the fam.
30:58
Speaker 1: What did you do for your bye week? What do
31:00
Speaker 1: you do for BI weeks? That's it for being our
31:02
Speaker 1: hand off presented by Verizon
