  Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky Rhet back with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you and guys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to today.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We've got a couple Monday nighters, which I know we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: touched on this last week, Buck, but I think I've
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: got a firm opinion on this now. I've for seeing
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: it for a couple weeks. I don't like the two
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: games at the same time.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I'm out.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I'm out on the two games starting at the same time,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: not having it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: It was an hour they ever staggered an hour.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it needs to be a bigger stagger if
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: they're gonna be on the same time. It almost has
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: to be like a college football doubleheader where you have
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: enough time to watch one before you turn over to
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: the other.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: I don't mind watching maybe.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Like the last quarter having to flip back and forth,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: but like I mean, the whole game, you're talking back
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: and forth.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: So I'm with DJ.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: I want to space it out a little bit, or
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: why don't we do a Monday Tuesday night deal something
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: like that so we can get.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: All the games.
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: The only negative to me would be the four fifteen
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: Pacific time start out here is a little tough. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: got a lot going on in at four o'clock hour.
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: We're talking school picks, school pickup. I'm usually not catching
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: that thing till you know, halftime. So definitely had to
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: go back and rewatch a lot of that Eagles Buccketeers game,
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: but did catch plenty of the Rams Bengals matchup, that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: for sure.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it was. I like, I'm okay with two games.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Just space them outs. We get a chance to see
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: both of them. I don't like having to choose. The
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: choices are for Saturdays and Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: don't like i ney choices. I want the menu to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: be presented. I want it to be preset. And so
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that's just my let's jump into these games exactly Philly.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Let's get to this Philly Tampa game. We'll start there,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: bucking go anywhere you want to go. You can look
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on the defense with Jalen Carter in that front, how
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: dominant they were the offensive line for the Eagles, I mean,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: swift going off. You can go anywhere you want to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: go on the Eagle side of things. What stood out
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to you, Well, let's.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Just talk about the Eagles and how the expectations for
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the Eagles had made it where they can dominate a
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: game and do it in a fashion when you win
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: by two touchdowns. But everyone is still kind of wanting
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: more from this team because they were so dominant season ago.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I guess we expect them to kind of pick up
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: where they left off, and that's just not how it goes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I would say, when I'm watching this team, I see
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: a team that has the ability to beat you a
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: few different ways. They can absolutely run it down your
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: throat and kill you with a bunch of gut punches
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: where you have DeAndre Swift and Jalen Hurts and those
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: guys running the football at will, and they still have
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: the ability to have an explosive pass game. That passing
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: game hasn't clicked yet, but you can see where they
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: want to go with it. And then you guys talked
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: about the defense and those things Dalen Carter and their
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: front and what they're doing. I'm just saying the Eagles
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: haven't played their best ball, but here they are sitting
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: pretty at three to zero, and you already can envision
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: this team battling the San Francisco forty nine is for
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the number one seed in the conference.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's where I would go big picture
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of this is a team that matches up very well
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: with everybody with this front, but specifically the forty nine ers.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That collision is coming down the road here. We've been
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: talking about all offseason and end of this year. Jalen Carter, guys,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I went and broke that down. I mean, he's the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: interesting thing. He only played twenty one snaps in this game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Seventeen of them are pass rush reps, only four reps
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: against the run, So they're basically just able to use
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: him as a situational rusher at this point in time.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That's the luxury they have. He might be the defensive
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: rookie of the year, on pace to be the defensive
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: rookie of the year, and he's playing twenty, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a little over twenty snaps a game here. They don't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: even need him.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: They have so many.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Different guys that are rolling through. Nolan Smith is someone
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: who flashes every week. He's yet to play more than
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: seven snaps in a game through three weeks. So they're
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: going to be able to preserve all these guys. They're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: going to stay fresh throughout the whole year because the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: unbelievable amount of depth they have up front. And then
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, Rhett we were
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: texting about this going through the tip this morning.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: This offensive line.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You know, what's Kelsey's ability to get up to the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: second level, Dickerson as a poller. Then you've got Lane
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Johnson still the best right tackle in the NFL. They
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: mauled a very very big, physical front and the Bucks
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and you don't see lanes like that very often.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: That DeAndre Swift was able to run through.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that jumped out immediately. And I guess I'll
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: just say this quickly about the Bucks. I mean, it
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: was kind of a fun, you know story early on.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: You know, they go to and Oh, I don't think
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: many people expected a ton out of Tampa this year,
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: but they found a way to win their first two games.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: They're gonna be in some games, you know, down the
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: stretch here, but they look totally uncomfortable defensively in this game.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, the Philadelphia Eagles have asked what twenty six
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: first downs, and eleven of them they got on the ground.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about all.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: Short yardage you know, tush push situations like you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: you look at I think one of the one of
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: their very first first downs is an explosive play where
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: they're just I mean they pulled Jason Kelcey's like a
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: lead blocker through a I mean just a massive runway
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: for DeAndre Swift goes from fourteen yards.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It's like an RPO and the.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Linebackers are four yards they take they go four yards
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: backwards before even realizing it's actually run. So the runway
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: and the gap between the first and second level is
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: just so huge on some of those plays. Then they
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: had a third and six, which you know, look to
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: to Tampa's you know defense here. I mean that's it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: a pretty big passing tendency down right, And so you
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: got as you were telling as we were talking about DJ,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: you know, Todd Bowles overloads to the boundary side and
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: what do the Eagles do, Well, They're just going to
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: run his zone play to the field and it's three
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: on two.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: It's an explosive play.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: So you know, look that good good game planning on
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: the Eagle side, seeing tendencies and finding ways to exploit those.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: It just I mean, they mauled guys all over the
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: field here, and it was it was fun to watch
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: if you're an Eagles fan.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I will say, just kind of put a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: bowl on that one. The Bucks look that they're going
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to be in it, in that division. That division is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not going to run away from them. They've got a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: real chance to win this division. Yes, get into the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: postseason and kind of a reset year. So you know, look,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it's not not all hope is lost there in Tampa.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: They're going to have a chance to stay in this
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: race all the way to the end.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Buck.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: By the way, I do notice that anytime we talk
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: about the Georgia Bulldogs, your dog gets just fired up
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the background right there. It's just they have so unfortunately
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: She knows what's going on. She knows whenever we talk
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: about the Bulldogs. She kind of as as an American bulldog.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: She's like, Hey, whoa those my people, my cousin, let
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: me make sust So she wants to make sure that
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: she gets involved and.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Supports her pep. Yeah, I mean Obo, that's it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, now let's let's get to the next one.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: If you have a Bengal, if you have a Bengal,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: tiger in the yard. Then we got real problems here.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But Bengals here take away on that one buck, What
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: do you got.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Joe Burrow kind of sucking it up for the team
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: and showing up like I was really worried about Joe
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Burrow playing in this one because of the calf, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the calf has been a lingering issue. But look, he
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: sold out for his team. He comes back, he understands
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the challenge that it would be if this team had
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: fallen to win three. So he plays, and he plays
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: in a very controlled fashion. They find a way to
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: really unlock Jamar Chase, and they didn't do it in
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: a fashion way. They're pushing the ball down the field.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: They moved him around, put him in the slot, got
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: him some easy lay us where you can touch the
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: ball twelve catches head over one hundred yards. These are
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the things that the Bengals have to do because in
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: this new NFL where they're taking away the deep ball,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: you're going to have to manufacture production for your best
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: players and hope that they can break up, tackle and
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: make things happen for the Bengals. It was a nice start,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: even though it wasn't the high powered offense that we're
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: going to custom to see in the last two years
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: it was a very efficient, effective offense. They're really complimented
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a very stingy and stout effort from their defense.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's that's kind of where I would go
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: other it's just to say on Burrow, I mean, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: zero snaps from under center right. They knew what they
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: wanted to do with him, they wanted they knew how
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: they wanted to protect him. He didn't throw a ton,
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: you know, outside of the pocket. He was comfortable inside
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: of the pocket. That's where he wanted to get it
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: out of his hands. And you know, I love the
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: competitor that he is. I love you know how he
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: you know, shows up for his team when they need
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: it and figure out a way to push through, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: a tough injury. But I just like, I wonder if
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: we're going to get to a point here where they're
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: going to be able, we're going to be able to
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: put that concern to bed and you're not going to
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: be like holding your breath on every drop back right
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: on every passing attempt where shoot, he steps wrong one
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: of these plays and you know you're down for a
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: month and you certainly don't want that to happen as
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: you start getting later into the season when these wins,
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: you know, you really want to be stacking these things up.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: But I love that it's working out for him right now,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: and I'm glad he said that they didn't suffer any
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: setbacks on that calf throughout this game. The thing I'll say,
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: and if you look, if you're listening to the broadcast,
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: and he heard Rolovski and Riddick just absolutely you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: pumping up lou Anaroumo and rightly so, I mean, he
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: was fantastic in this game. The way he was dialing
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: up pressure. He didn't even I mean, look, he pressured
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: I think like thirty percent of the time. It wasn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: like the eighty six percent of the time DJ in
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: the game that you saw with the Chargers and Vikings.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah on Sunday, but it felt like there was constant
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: pressure right. It felt like they were bringing it from
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: all over the place. The stunts in the games that
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: they were doing up front with Hendrickson and Hubbard and
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Logan Wilson got into the action too. I mean like
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: they just they overwhelmed the Rams offensive line and did
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: a pretty good job of Puka Nakua, first team to actually,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: you know, keep him under one hundred yards receiving on
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: the year, So that's off.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was interesting just looking at this Rams team,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you know, on a day I don't know why I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was thinking about this, just on a day where you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: saw the Bucks playing in the other primetime game here
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: on Monday night, and I'm thinking about Stafford the throw,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the Cooper Cup, the Super Bowl year. Just what that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: complexion of that team look like versus how many new
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: faces and new guys they.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Have on this Rams team. They have flipped it over.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: They're playing a lot of young guys in their competitive
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: so they've been better than advertised. To me, what the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: expectations were. They lost a closer, They lost a close one.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: They're one thing I want to point out here before
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: we wrap up this game. The bye week for the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals is coming up. That is October twenty second,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: so they have three more. If Burrow can kind of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: limp his way through at Tennessee at Arizona and then
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Seattle at home, that's not I mean, that's not a.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Murderer's row there.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So if you're you're hopeful that this limited version of
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow can just kind of do what he did
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: last night, and that's just just get him to the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: finish line. Find a way to win a game. It
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to be pretty. It's not vintage Joe Burrow.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: But if you can get to that bye, you're gonna
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: need to rest up then because coming out of that buy,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: they're gonna face at San Francisco and then the Buffalo Bills.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So those are two heavyweight matches waiting for them. So
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: get to the bye. That's the hope here. If you're
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the if you're the Cincinnati Bengals. All right, let's take
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back. We'll jump into the rookies,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a little recap off what we saw last week, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: we'll have our rookie draft for Week four right after this.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the rookies that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: we had in week three. If you look at our
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: draft last week, I had Richardson got me zero points
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: because he didn't place. Bryce Young didn't play for Rett,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: so Bucky got the quarterback with Stroud, I barely won
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in the running back with b Jhon Robinson. Bucky got
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a second place finished then Bucky came back and also
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: one with the wide receiver was Jay Flowers. So big
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: week with Buck, and he leads the season total now
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: with fifteen points. So strong week there, Buck, And I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: think one of the reasons why you're sitting here in
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: first place is because of the performance of the guy
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you saw last week in CJ.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Stroud.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: We touched on it yesterday, but I feel like we
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: can give a little more love there from what you've
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: seen from the Ohio State quarterback.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: C J.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Stroud is everything that we loved about his game when
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: we used to talk about him on paths to the draft.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: We talked about how natural he was as a passer,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: how he liked to operate from the pocket, and just
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: look the way that he could just change the touch, timing,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: anticipation of velocity on the throws.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: He just thought was a very catchuble ball.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: The part that I'm really most impressed with and watching
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: him is just a maturity that he displays on the field.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Played without four of his offensive linemen, played with the
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: defense that didn't really have media their starters, but didn't
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: really matter. He did what franchise quarterbacks are supposed to do.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: He elevated the team. And when you think of about
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the first three starts and how he is with Justin
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Herbin and Cam Newton as the only guys they have
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: three starts where they go over nine hundred passing yards.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: That's really impressive. In the fact that he hasn't thrown
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: an interception. To me, that speaks volumes about his ability
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: to play winning football. This Texans team may have gotten
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: it right with their franchise quarterback. There's a reason to
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: be optimistic if you're a Houston Texans fan.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I feel like he's built a ton of
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: trust right up with the coaching staff, with Bobby Slowick,
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: and with with everybody that has a hand in the
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: offensive game plan, because there doesn't seem to be any guardrails,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Like they're gonna push the ball down the field. They're
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: gonna put in his hands thirty times and trust him
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: to protect it, trust him to find his playmakers. And man,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: I feel like I've been saying it for like a
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: year or two now. This Texans team has been it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: been a slow build now, but they have been slowly
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: building some interesting and kind of fun pieces, young pieces
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: along the offensive side of the ball, with you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: John Metchi just to get his feet wet. Tank Dell
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: obviously is the rookie this year, is you know, exploding
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: right now, and especially in the explosive pass game. You
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: know Pierce from last year back Revin Jordan's starting to
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: get back into the game plan a little bit too,
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: and you know, Nico Collins is starting to open up
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: his game. Like there's just this team been, this offense
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: in particular growing with the quarterback that they feel like
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: is their guy moving forward. I think speaks volumes and
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: it's gonna be fun to watch in Houston, not just
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: for the rest of this year, but for the next
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: couple of years.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I was just looking at his numbers and comparing Stroud
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and let's just you know, why not, let's just go
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: right to the very tippy top of the league. Everybody
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: knows Patrick Mahomes is the best player in the league.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: He's been the best player in the league for a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: while now. And this is an incredibly small sample size,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: but when you start looking at like average depth of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: target yards per attempt, you know, adjusted completion percenters, like
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: these numbers are all very close. You know, through the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: first three games, for east of those players. So when
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you're stacking up, when you're stacking up against the best
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in the business and and don't look all that dissimilar,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: that's a heck of a start for CJ. Stroud and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you know, Buck. To me, I think this is something
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: where this is obviously just the beginning. He's just getting started.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But when you see early on in somebody, it's hard
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to tell it. Sometimes it takes three years to figure
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: these guys out. This game does not look fast for him,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it does not look big for him, And I feel
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like this is just the this is just the platform
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he's getting ready to continue to grow. So that's it's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: got to be pretty exciting if you're a Texans fan,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you got your guy, yes.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's super exciting for them because we
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: talked about how hard it is a fine they guy,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: and you're right, DJ, you talk about like sometimes you
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: can just look and they passed the eyeball tests. In
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: terms of the game is not too fast for they
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: kind of step into the light when everyone is expecting
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: them to play at a high level. He has done that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It'd be curious to see how he continues to progress
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: over the course of the season. He's there, but I
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: can't wait to see what Anthony Rigiston and Bryce Young
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: also do the rest of the season.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's uh, let's see if you can maintain
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: your role here. Buck, you're leading this whole thing, this
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: rookie draft that. I'll be honest, I don't even know
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: if Bucky was all in on this. He was, he
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: was pulled into this whole thing, and yet here he
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is dominating through three weeks.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not happy about it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: The receivers look pretty close.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: That was a pretty tight race to get that win
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: for the wide outside. I think we were all like
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: within a couple of points of each other.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: We don't care about closest. We just care about the
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: bottom line. We're just about the bottom line business. We
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: don't worry about how.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Close it was. Did you win or did you lose?
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: That's all we worry about.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: You take a quarterback early, you can't get him to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the starting line.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: That's tough. That's tough.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But look, yeah, guess what, guess who gets to have
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the first pick as we rotate this through Buck, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: we're changing it up because the health of the quarterbacks.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: No quarterbacks this week, new rule this week. We're just
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: taking a running back, of wide receiver and a tight end,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: so we're eliminating the quarterbacks, so we don't have that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: debacle that we had last week.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: But Buck, you're up first.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: This is hard for me because I used to have
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: rules in fantasy football that I never could pick a
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: player that is playing against my team. And so this
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: week the a matter of fact, because I've taken on
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars and the more accompetent weeks, there is
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: no way I could pick Bjon Rominson.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: But then I gotta do it. I gotta take B
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: John Robinson.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Number one overall because like it's you guys, and I
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: can't look. I can't stomach the fact that I would
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I would fall short if I don't have them.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna take John Robinson. Welcome, Welcome to Team BB.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: All right, well that brings me up right here at
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: number two and in this in this case, just you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: I feel like you know, I went Roshawn Johnson last
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: week and I felt I felt pretty good about it,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: but obviously that offense was a whole mess for the Bears,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: so I can't I can't possibly go back to that
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: well again look, I gotta go Jamiir Gibbs. It's just
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: I got to do it, and I got to hope
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: that they're going to get more targets in the pass
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: game like they had been the first two games. So
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: give me Jamiir up with the Lions.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I guess I know who I'm taking
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: at that position, but I can wait.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I don't need to do that anytime soon, so I
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: can go. I can go back to back here. I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: gonna go.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I think I have to. I feel like
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I'm borrowing. I feel like I'm borrowing Rehts Uh, you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: his little his pet here because Pooka Nakua has been
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: his go to guy. That wasn't a huge game. Wow,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Pooka Nakua.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: They are they are playing the Colts, I believe. Let
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: me double check this. Yeah, Rams Cults next week. So
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Pooka with my first pick, and I'm
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: gonna come back. I've got my choice of tight ends
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go Samila Porta. So those are my
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: first two picks that I'm gonna go. B Yu and
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Iowa my two guys.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, so that that comes back to me.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Tank Dell, give me the wide out
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: from the Texans. The explosive play threat, big play threat
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: went for buck buck forty five last week, found himself
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: into the end zone. I feel like the Texans are
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: going to get it done. So give me Tank Dell,
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: the rookie.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Wow. I mean, I would think that I'm a little
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: disappointed at DJ has an opportunity to take the guy
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Quinn Johnson, who's gonna have an opportunity to play that
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Mike Weiams and now he doesn't even support his own guy.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Josh Palmer's gonna I would think that you would be
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a homer in debt regard. But
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I am going to go. And this is tough because
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison both have been kind of
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: doing the thing. But Zave Flowers was so good for
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: me last week that I can't bypass him again. I'm
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: gonna go with Zave Flowers, uh as my.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Wife one morning to go back to back.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Okay, so then give me give me dog Kin Kid
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: for the.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills and so Josh Allen this offense begin to
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: figure it out James Cook has been good on the ground,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: so that should open up some things down the middle
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: and the pass game on play action dog Kin Kid, Welcome,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the squad.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: All right, there you go.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: So Bucky's got his full squad laid out and watching
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: this UH Saints Packers game last week, and I love
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: the way that Jordan Love was targeting Luke Musgrave.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to go with my tight end. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and it's.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Really you know, I look, I like Dalton Kincaid and
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: I'm kind of expecting bigger things out of him. But
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: at this point, I want Musgrave to get a rolling
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: for me. Sick catches forty nine yards last week. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: think might be getting into the end zone this week
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: for the Packers to kind of keep that momentum rolling
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: on the offensive side.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm so mad right now. I got my last pick. Well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I had it all cued up and ready to go.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this for a while because this
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: was going to be my pick. I've been thinking about
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: this for a week. I knew this day was coming. Wow,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, my man, my man decided after a Monster
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: game that we no longer should reference his name with
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a chain it is now a Chan I believe if
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that correctly, Von a Chan.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: He's no longer a chain.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Because I had and I know what a good We
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: probably couldn't use it because of copyright, but I had
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Quad City DJs.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Come on ride a chain.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And thank you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, call your defensive events and Marino and your friends.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I trying, I was, I was ready to go. I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: was ready to go. But now it's eight chan. It
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't work, it doesn't fit. Yeah, that's fine. I'm still
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: taking him last week, so I'm I'm in on him.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: He's going to be my.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Pup this week.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You got a couple of new names in the mix
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't have just that I want to make
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: sure they don't have the Broncos this week. Just just
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: wanted to let you know that they got they got
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: the bills.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because everybody else has done such a great
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: job of slowing that offense down so far, so I'm
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: sure it's just a one time bill.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: I may or may not have put like thirty seven
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: bucks on my waiver wire budget on devon a Chan.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: So a chan man A chain just has such more
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: punch to it, you know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: It does does.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Do.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I need to make sure.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: You imagine we got the just cranking that tune. Every
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: time he pops pops a run. The whole crowd is
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just just pulling that, pulling.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: The horn down.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, what a lost marketing opportunity on
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that one. Oh well, well, that's gonna do it for
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: us today. That was a fun one, good way to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: end there on the rookie draft. And again a chant.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Come on, I gotta get used to that. That's a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that's a new pronunciation. But I'm gonna get it down.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Excited for my team to bounce back. Bucky is off
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to a big start here. I'm gonna try and reel
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: him in. That's gonna do it for us today. Appreciate
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Hanging with this.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Remember we got shows each and every day this week,
• 21:28
