Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky and Baldy as
we get a chance to talk about incredible weekend of football. Man,
there are some great games, unbelievable college game which we'll
hit on tomorrow when HTT comes back to join the
show with Indiana Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We'll have some fun with that.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
But NFL wise, Baldy, this might be my favorite week
of the year in terms of the action we had.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's unreal.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's I mean, these games went down to the wire.
I mean I was in Baltimore that happened there. We
watched Chicago Green Bays go down in the wire, Kansas City, Houston.
I mean it was really and it was you know
for playoff seeding. To think that Chicago could start the
day off as the number one seed in the NFC
lose the game to Green Bay by I mean just
(00:48):
a couple of different plays, maybe one pass and finish
the seventh seed right now.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It just goes to show you, like, there's so much
more football to be played.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, it comes at you fast, by the way, Buck,
if you if you're wondering looking at Baldi's gear. Here,
we've got Baldi Breakdown Polo. We've got a Baldi Breakdown hat, Baldy,
this is merch. Where can the folks find it? Where
can they find it?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
They can just go to baldis breakdowns dot com and
they can order away my buddy down in uh Monroe, Louisia.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Hey, we used to call it when I went to
college there, bald we called it fun there go. That
was the spot.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Hey, Buck, I've got a list of these games that
I want to get to, and there's a list of
games I have in order here. But I'm gonna I'm
gonna make an executive decision here because I feel like
I think your Jags might be the most untold story
in the NFL right now. I think people will be
surprised to look up and see where they are. They've
kind of sneakily just kind of worked their way all
the way up to the top of that division and
(01:46):
to the point where like they're they're still alive for
the number one seed. That's where they are right now.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, I have to tell you, DJ, It's one of
the more remarkable things to watch and witness, like a
team kind of getting better in your own eyes.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Like I say this.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Coaching high school ball, like you see players developed, you
see the team come and you see the connectivity. But man,
the job that Liam Cohen has done in terms of
rebuilding the freight relationships that existed prior to his arrival,
in terms of some of the lack of confidence, some
of the distrust that players may have had with the
previous coaching staff or whatever, navigating that, dealing with a
(02:25):
quarterback that was trying to find his way forth different system,
trying to figure out who's who and what's what, and
then getting the team to understand what it's like to
go from being a pretender to a contender to a
good team to what a great team understands. And you
guys have been around playoff teams, you kind of know
(02:45):
there's a way that you go about doing business. The
Jaguars have embraced the way that you have to operate
at a high level when you expect to win. They're
beginning to show all of those things ns a very
mature approach to that you take to winning these games,
and they're really beginning to do it. And you're seeing
a playoffs like on the field, off the field everything.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It is just fun to watch, you know, you know buckets.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I went up to Jacksonville like during I don't know
OTAs or you know what, Mini camp whatever, and I
called BISSELLI up and something coming.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm driving up. Let me spend the day.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So because it does start at the top, Bucky, like,
there is real leadership with Baselli, Gladstone, Liam Campanilli.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I feel for the first time they're actually in alignment.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
How they you know, to go get Ja Kobe Myers
at the tread dell and whatever it is, rebuilding the
offensive line, get Erton, Robert Hainsey in at center. Like
there just seems to be certain things that everybody in
that organization is really aligned with right now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I think that that alignment word is the is the buzzword,
and I think that's right on. That was a game
by the way they handled in the Indie unforcing loser
Daniel Jones with Jackson One's thirty six nineteen. But along
those alignment things like to me, okay, let's stay from
an ownership level, I want to have a physical team.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well let's start by putting Tony.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Basseli maybe one of the most physical offensive tackle let's
ever walk the face of the earth in the leadership position.
Let's go get a general manager from the Rams, who
have been one of the most physical teams you know
over the last handful of years. And then let's go
get a head coach from Tampa. With the teams I
saw last year in person, I said at the time
was the most physical team that I saw the Chargers
play last year.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So Buck like they've lined it up.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You want to have a physical team that a team
that can take off during this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They've kind of put all their ducks in a row here.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, they have put all the ducks in a row.
And I think the alignment is everything. And you guys know, man,
to be a championship team, like the entire building has
to be aligned, like from top to bodom. You have
to have the same vision. You've got to speak the
same language. Everyone has to believe in the same things.
They get you to the next level. And then it's
about putting the team together and figuring out what you
(04:54):
have and how to maximize what you have. We all
talk about like the seasons start us out. The first
half of the season is figuring out who you are
and what you need to be. And then the last
half of the year is being that team that you
need to be based on what you have and.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What you've seen.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Because we'll talk about Trevor Lawrence and I believe this
was the best game that I've seen him play. Having
been around the team for five years since the beginning
of his career, this was the best game that I've
seen him play from.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Top to bottom.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
And it is about the coach freeing him and saying,
hey man, let it rip, like, don't worry about mistakes,
let it go, let the ball go, trust what you
see and we'll live with the consequences. And then it's
taking the pieces because you need someone over the middle,
so you go and get Jakobe Myers.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You need a big body presidence, so you have Tim
Parker come over.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You then go and Tim Patrick come over, and then
you go and get Brian Thomas Junior, who's the vertical threat.
And in this game, everybody played their role without making
it a bunch of individual things. It just all flowed.
And a lot of it is due to the quarterback
letting it go.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
U DJ do me a favor.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, look up Devin Lloyd when he came out of Utah,
yepup of things. I know he was kind of an
outside guy and inside guy. He had good pass rush
ability at Utah. But he has five interceptions from the
mic linebacker spot big one yesterday, right, Bucky, Like not
everybody can play mike linebacker and get yourself five interceptions.
(06:32):
I mean, it's been a big part of this whole turnaround, Bucky.
Is just the takeaways that they're getting.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I've got it. I'll pull it up right here.
We did this, not we've done this before. To find
him here Devin Lloyd, because I'll have an actual summary
on him. I can read it my summary as we
go through. Devin Lloyd was my thirteenth overall player. Wow
Lloyd and Lloyd's a tall, rangy linebacker with exemplary versatility
and production split time between line up on the edge
(06:58):
and inside linebacker against the past. He can run in
mirror tight ends all over the field. He's very instinctive
as a zone dropper, able to anticipate drive and make
plays on the ball. His ball skills are special for
a linebacker see the pick six against Stanford. Lloyd is
an effective blitzer off the edge. Just playing a burst
of clothes and rekavoc in the backfield against the run.
Plays Downhill, uses length to playoff blocks, collect tackles great
(07:21):
lattel Range does have some stiffness in space, but he's
a reliable on linebacker. I love Lloyd's play speed, passion,
and aggression. He has pro Bowl potential.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There you go, man, you got that, like spot on,
That's who he is this year. Completely. The over ability
is you know, it's buck.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
We've said this is we've kind of towards the end
of our scouting years, you know, going back over a decade.
It got to the point where when you're evaluating linebackers like,
if you can't cover, I can't put you on the field, man,
Like I love all the other stuff, but if you
can't cover, I can't I can't hide you.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
And here's the thing, because there was some frustration in
the building about Devin Lloyd being a first round pick,
and that really delivered what many expect.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
The first round picked the livers.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
So you declined the fifth your option because the numbers
suggest that he hadn't been playing at that level, even
though you're inside those saying, guys, I don't know if
he's ever been used properly, like he hasn't been utilized
the way that he was utilized at Utah, where he
was a jack of all trades. He moved around, he
did everything. And in this system, Anthony Kimpannelly from day
(08:23):
one has put him in mike linebacker, has allowed him
to really be all the things that he could be inside,
getting down the field, chasing, playing with instincts and all that.
And DJ your report reads to a t in terms
of what we've seen from him this year. Now, the
problem is he's placed so well, you got a decision
to make at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
How do you find a way to pay him to
keep him?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
But he is the ultimate playmaker and his ability to
turn the ball over has really been a key for
this team and this defense.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now there you go, see that we got.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We got Houston k Cy, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore.
And we can't say we play favorites here because we
led with the little Jags. Yeah, because the Jags are cooking.
Let's get to the Houston k C game. Baldie, it
wasn't a funeral. They're still alive.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Casey's still alive, But they are clinging to their last breath.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Here they are, and you know we we we left
last week talking about how Houston just chokes you out.
They just they just don't give you anything. The way
that they rule the middle of the field. Everybody tackles.
You watch last year make the play on Thornton in
the end zone. It's a touchdown, it's a perfect throw.
(09:33):
They're gonna go up fourteen to ten. Last year, he
gets the ball out Jalen Peatrie's back. He's blown up
Rashee Rice in the middle of the field. They stop
him on two big fourth downs. I mean, it's a
ten to ten game in the fourth quarter. And Andy,
who's been unbelievable on fourth downs this year. They led
the league and fourth down conversions going into yesterday, they
had converted twenty out of twenty six and they got
(09:54):
a fourth and two at there. I mean, I don't
know when this all flipped DJ and Bucky, like when, Okay,
we're gonna go for it at the thirty yard line
in the fourth quarter at a ten to ten tie.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But it's remember when Belichick did that, Why he never
stopped hearing about it?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Like now it's you know, nobody even second guest Andy
at the thirty yard line, but it gave Houston the
short field.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
They scored the touchdown.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Give them credit, but Houston's defense is going to like
I wrote it down here, they're seven and oh when
they score twenty points for more, like they are not
giving you twenty. It doesn't matter who they play against
right now. They're just that good Will Anderson, Daniel, the
whole group right now. So I felt like the fourth
downs really flipped that game, and they had they had
(10:42):
some opportunities.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now we're gonna say this and we'll we'll talk about
this because it comes up a few other times, like
guys going for it. And I know in the league
there's been kind of the turn where everyone is super
aggressive on fourth down. I said, when Andy Reever was
thinking about going for it, I was like, man, read
the room. It is so hard to score point in Houston,
Like you don't give them points, right, it's a ten
(11:03):
to ten game, Like there's no need to get out
of pocket. And I think sometimes he sees fifteen and
we understand what the Chiefs used to be.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They're not that team anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And they had fought like the Dickens to be in
that position to be tied up against a really good
football team, and I think that took a lot of
the win out of their seals.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And I never thought that they would be able to
recover from it because I just couldn't. I couldn't figure
out how they were going to score a touchdown against
the Texans.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
But they couldn't block Chris Jones all night. Like, he
literally ruined the offense of Houston. I didn't matter if
you lined up on Ursery or Ingram or Trent Brown.
I mean he beat every single lineman, art, every double
team d from the start to the finish.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It was the best game I seen him playing a
long time.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I was going through his stuff this morning, Baldi
and I was watching all he.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Had eight pressures.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
His risk control is like, to me, better than anybody
I can ever remember. His ability to hit a hand
as it's punching and just control your like you can't
get to him a lot of times, like I saw
Joey Bosa.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Was just this. It was a swipe right.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, he will grab he will physically grab their hand
and you can't get to them. So I saw that
I saw quick arm overs there. There were I mean
these wins were early. When you get wins early inside,
that is a nightmare crossing guy's faces.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I mean it was. It was impressive. Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I will get to my last song on him in
just a secondent. I want to flip over to Will
Anderson because I want to watch his past rush stuff too.
I wrote down Mario and Rivera. It is the same
pitch every single time. It is he is lined up
wide with the runway and he is going to pry
your shoulder open. They always talk about in coaching, you know, scouting,
like hey, can you work half a man? Can you
get through them? Can you pry that shoulder open? Faud,
(12:49):
He does that as well as anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Man. No, no, no, no, It's consistent. It's consistent.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
And in his takeoff like that guy is jacked up
and ready to play every play, and you know there's
just there's not enough. You know, everybody wants one of
those guys, Like didn't they trade.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Up to get him?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
They traded yes, because yeah, that was they took straight,
took Stroud, and I just.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I just remember the whole scouting process when he was
coming out, like not many guys coming in Tuscaloosa as
an eighteen year old for Nick and start day one.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
He started.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
He was a man day one in Tuscaloosa, like and
and it's just it has just continued.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Uh. He just played. He does everything the right way.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Leverage, hands, power, effort, like he's just he's just an
incredible force out there. And he probably as many good
players as they have on defense. He probably is is uh,
you know, the captain of that ship.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Right now, last thing will wrap up and move on
this one. But the sign of.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
A of a kind of a generational player in terms
of what Alabama's had. I think of all the great players,
but every year I talk to guys there and want
to ask you about players, and it cracks me up
because every time it's Hey Booker, he was like the
offensive Will Anderson, like he was the leader. He was
like they talked about defense. Good player, I mean, not
a Will Anderson in terms of a work ethic. And
(14:13):
then the next player you ask about, you're like, oh, man,
he's not quite as strong as Will. Will Anderson is
the guy that's on the front of their mind. He
has been there in several years, Like they're still talking
about him now.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, he's the number one compunk.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh gosh, he's the measuring stick, you know, He's the
measuring stick for everybody. And then so the last thing
I wanted to ask you, Buck, I'll hit you on
this in Baldy follow if this is because as I'm
watching this game, I'm thinking about it, Chris Jones played
really really well, and to be honest, with as many
wins as he had, he like three or four year ago,
Chris Jones I think would have had a four SAT
(14:44):
game where he didn't he couldn't just quite finish it,
you know, I didn't have quite that little bit to
finish it. But I'm sitting here going, if this is
the Chiefs kind of coming down the mountain a little bit,
that is one of their real assets to me that
if you were going to try and infuse some draft
picks and some youth to this thing, that that's a
that's a chip for them, because I don't you know,
if they have to retoolless say, I don't know Chris
(15:05):
Jones is going to be part of that next run
for Kansas City in three years or two years, however
long it takes to kind of rebuild this thing, Buck,
But I think you have a heck of an asset
which which team's right there at the top would would
pay handsomely for.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, I mean, like, I think this is the first
time that he can see the Chiefs have to think
about those kinds of decisions. Like I know they made
the move with Tyreek Hill. Part of that was not
not one to pay him. But I think we're seeing, Okay,
this is the end of this iteration of the Chiefs,
and Chris Jones is the asset that we can move
off of to maybe help us get back. Maybe it's
(15:38):
a short dip and he become right back. He's still terrific,
he's still impactful, he's still disruptive at the point of attack,
but as an older player, he can't do it to
the same consistency that he used to be able to
do it, And it might be time to move off
of him because he could offer a team as a
contender that immediate thing that they need to get over.
(15:59):
So very much like INDOMICATESU at the end of his
run to kind of be a higher gun, I think
that's where Chris Jones is going to be at this stage.
But for the Chiefs, they need that long term thing
so they can figure out how to build this around
Patrick Mahomes and whatever pieces of the polls that they
can they can keep in place to allow them to
get back on top.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
By the way, before we leave this game, Straud played
well and if Stroud to me, this is very reminiscent
of those forty nine or Super Bowl teams, you know,
with those dominant defenses. And think about memory. Go back
to Jimmy Baldy, Remember Jimmy. Jimmy hits was Emmanuel Sanders
on the post.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
They want they always wide to hit.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You gotta hit him, like Stroud to me, doesn't need
to score thirty points. He's got to make those two
or three throws that press.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So the throw the throw at ten to ten to
Nico Collins and yeah, I put it out there this morning,
but I might not that I'm comparing to Mahomes ce
J's own guy.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But it was so mahomes life, like he's being chased.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
He's got Karloftis, he's got Tranquil, They're all coming after him.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And his roles was right.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And Nico does a great job of coming back to
the ball because it's just throwing the middle of the field.
It's just hanging out there. But he gets enough on
it that turns into a fifty three yard play. They score,
you know, a few plays later. It was that explosive
play that they needed. And not to turn the ball over.
That's what happened obviously in the playoff losses. You know,
he was under dress, the offensive line failed, the protection
(17:19):
was bad. But yesterday, like Spags, heated him up quite
a few times, but he did not turn the ball over.
They punted a whole bunch, but they didn't turn the
ball over and that was a big key of the game.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, that's the team again.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Anybody wants us to have anything to do with Houston
the way they're rolling right now, let's say quick break,
we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We'll knock out a few more games.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Cincinnati Buffalo another incredibly entertaining game in the snow. Buffalo
came back in this game. They went a shootout thirty
nine to thirty four. Pretty incredible how Burrow has made
Cincinnati is so competitive with the with the best teams
in the league. As soon as he showed back up
with what he can do. A couple of takeaways from
me and then I'll forget it to you guys. The
tight ends for Buffalo were Big Knox six for ninety three,
(18:03):
kin Kid four for forty one, and the absence of
big time, elite weapons on the outside. I think that
offense has got to work inside out, and I think
you're seeing that in big games.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
But to me, the other thing is just Josh's legs.
Do we put this in perspective for you guys.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
In the last three years so this year, in the
last two Josh Allen has thirty nine rushing touchdowns thirty nine.
Lamar Jackson in that period of time has eleven. He's
got twenty eight more rushing touchdowns in.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Lamar Jackson over the last three years. That blelew. That
just blew my mind, baldy of what this dude has done.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well When he busted that forty yard touchdow up the middle,
you know, against the Blitz like that, like nobody was.
I mean it was man coverage, who was Blitzer the
whole thing, But I mean he got to that end
zone a hurry, like he has another gear when that
ball is in his hands. And the only thing I
kind of feared after he scored was I didn't know
(18:58):
if that ball was going to go right through the
stadium wall the way I thought it might puncture a
hole in there, but he do that first touchdown he
threw to Shakir. I honestly, he could have thrown that
ball through a like a car wash. It wouldn't have
gotten wet like he it was. It was like it
was fourth down, you know, yet it was do or die.
(19:20):
It was like it was intercepted. It's intercepted because he
went through four different sets of hands, and I think
Demetrius nights on coverage, you know, on Shakira at the
end zone right there, it goes right by his earlobe.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Some of them.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
He can still put the highlights together as well as
anybody in this business.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Look, man, I just have always thought that he was
a version of Cam Newton with the stuff that Sean
McDermott and Brandon being wanted in terms of he gave
them that physical presence that is.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Really really tough to deal with in the red zone.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
And the thing about Josh Allen that we've talked about
is when I went to see him at the the
Potato Bowl when Boys he played Western Michigan, and he
was inaccurate and he was.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Playing with a bunch of non descript players.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I never could imagine that this dude would be arguably
the best quarterback in the league given what he displayed then.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But I would say it's not only the skills that
he brings.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I would say it's the maturation that he is displayed,
where he's going from being the playmaker that is wild
and reckless to being the guy that knows when to
put the cape on when the game is hanging in
the balance. And because he's able to do that, he
knows how to protect himself and preserve himself for these moments.
(20:38):
The only way the Buffalo Bills can make a deep
postseason run is if he does these superhero things each
and every week going forward.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But I wouldn't bet against him being able to do it.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Which is why you kind of put an astray by
the Bills, because as number seventeen goes, this team is
going to go when it comes to the postseason.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, when they've had better players on the perimeter, he
hasn't had to do that, and he's showing the maturity
to not, you know, even try to do that. And
we said it earlier this year, there were times where
I thought he was preserving himself a little bit, knowing
like Okay, I can't do this all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But when it's needed, I need to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, he found himself in a shootout with Joe Burrow
and so he had he had to crank it up
a little bit on this one. You know, to me, Baldy,
if they hit, if they hit on all these draft
picks around him, which they haven't really done on the perimeter,
then I don't think he'd have to be this superman
And in some ways it might end up shortening his
career a little bit. I hope they can add some
(21:33):
better pieces in the future so that he didn't have
to dial this up to eleven like this. But he's
got it for sure. He's got it if you need it.
I just I'd like to see them build a roster
where he doesn't necessarily have to do that quite so much.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Jackson Hall's bailed him out at the goal line there yesterday.
That guy can lock man. He's catching some touchdown. The
tight ends really helped them. It's a tight end based offense.
I saw a couple of guys though defensively though, DJ,
you know they did guys in the middle round. You
know that that was like, I don't know, I just
thought it was a great defensive line draft.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
But TJ.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Sanders, Day one Walker, like these guys are Max Harrison,
like the defensive guys are contributing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I know Eorro put up a big number at.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Cincinnati, but they didn't run the ball very well against
that front. I thought the big guys up front, I
thought they were a little limited in what you can
do with Sanders and Walker, But for what they're asking
him to do, I thought they they played pretty well.
And they need them. They need those guys, you know,
to step up. Day Kwon Jones is still around somehow
in this business. Like it's you know, a bunch of
(22:35):
guys in the middle that are still kind of plugging
things away to help that help that defense out right now.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, it's kind of amasting to see them in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
And if if they don't end up winning the division,
if New England holds on, got Lee, congratulations, you get
a home playoff game. Oh who's coming in here? Oh
Josh Allen and the first round is rolling in here.
I don't think anybody be too excited about seeing those
guys come to town. All right, Buck, start us off
on this one. Iago green Bay, heck of a game
Green Bay. They get the interception at the very end
(23:04):
of this game to preserve the win. They went twenty
eight to twenty one, a game that was incredibly entertaining
and finished off with maybe the fastest post game handshake
between head coaches that I've seen in quite sometime.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, look, man, when Ben Johnson called Ajack, when he
called him out at the introduction press conference, he poured
kerose in on a rivaly that was already fully inflamed,
and in doing that have been played in that ribby activity.
It's as intense as it is. It would probably be
on part with the Ravens Steelers rivalry that we also
(23:37):
saw take place. But to me, man, this was a
great game on both sides. And I will say, and
I'm gonna take the Packers side on this. The Green
Bay Packers needed to dispatch the Bears in this fashion
to re establish that they're the team to beat in
the NFC North. This was a game where the Bears
were coming off a great win on Black Friday, a
(23:57):
physical win with a random ball all up and down
on the Eagles. For the Green Bay Packers to step
up and to contain the running game and deal with
all the things that Ben Johnson can do. A very
creative and physical run game that speaks volumes to their defense,
but offensively, they got back to who they are in
the passing game. Welcome back Jayden Reid, Welcome back Christian Watson.
(24:21):
This is the offense that we expected to see them,
throwing slash and intermediate stuff to those guys while running
the football with Josh Jacobs. If the Packers stick to
the script, this is the team that can be the
title team in Title Town.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Jordan Love throws three touchdown passes in the span of
twelve plays. Twelve plays and I mean three perfect touchdown passes.
Now Brisker misses the one touchdown to watching the end
zone by literally a fingernail like that. He's right there,
he sees the ball, he's half field. Safety makes a
break them to they're splitting the post right there, and
(25:02):
I mean, he's just it's a different between winning and losing.
It's just that close. And that's what the game was.
A couple of things.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
DJ one was Anthony Belton has played really good at guard.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
They had a big weakness there once Jenkins went down,
and they're trying to figure out the center position with Ryan, they.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Had a real hole at guard. And I felt like.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Anthony Belton these last two weeks has played really really well.
First of all, the kid's got great balance, and I
don't know when you come down to North Carolina State
if you thought tack tackle guard, but he looks him
and Zach Tom on the right side, I thought played
really well, really controlled the line of scrimmage. Number one.
Number two, is there a more difficult kind of tackle
(25:43):
in this league than kylem an Unguy, Like nobody can
tackle that guy. It's unbelievable, and that's why they give
it to him on the goal line in short yard,
they're giving the ball to him because they can't tackle
that guy.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
That's That's one.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
The last play, the interception that you talked about, you know,
makes a good play, but they basically ran that same
play against the Eagles last week Cole Comett. They hit
it to Cole Comet last week, and I thought it
was a fourth and one play. I thought it's the
same action, same play action, half boot roll to the left,
(26:15):
and I thought Caleb just stayed on DeAndre Swift too long.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
DJE.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Maybe if he looked deep first he would have seen
Cole Comet break first, and maybe we're not even talking
about you know, Green Bay and what they needed to do,
like maybe Chicago wins that one or at least, you know,
send it an overtime right now.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, on that play specifically, I think it was He's
the only thing he couldn't do was be in the
middle because he if he's on time, if he sees
it gets off, it sees that he gets Comet for
the touchdown. If he buys a little bit more time
seeing that that's that I'm too late on that and
waits for DJ Moore who's coming from the back side.
He could literally he could literally just option flip it
(26:54):
to him and he's he's probably going to get into
the end zone there. But I mean, look it was
Green Bay was ready for it. They were in a
pretty good spot there. They covered up the flat, took
away the layup, and then and then he's a little
bit late. So I thought it was an incredible game.
I'm going back through some of the stuff that I
watched Micah Parsons in this game at seven pressures, I
(27:14):
want to hit you on this body just to see
what you think from an offensive line perspective, because the
things that stood out to me, you line them up
on the edge and you can see you know, he'll
went out there. You'll see him cross face coming inside.
They use him as a looper at times, and he
was effective. But to me using him, I've always people
will call it different things, and people call it like
(27:35):
a joker or a walk around rusher. To me, when
he's when he just milling around and walking around and
I don't know where he's going to insert into the rush,
that to me is a quarterback was a nightmare because
I can you can chip him, you can slide protection
when you don't know which where he's coming from, and
you're gonna end up what they end up doing a
lot of times they end up fanning out your protection.
(27:57):
And now you've got a guard with a three way
go and that four to three whatever he ran, Michael
Parson's coming at you like, have fun with that.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
He literally is the He's the kryptonite for Caleb. He's
the one guy beat him.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
To the corner. That's the first time I've seen anybody
beat Caleb.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Caleb pause. The guy can't turn the corner on. I mean,
how many throwaways did he have because of Mike and
chasing him. He had at least three or four, and
a couple of them were on third down. And so
you look in the stat page and Michael Parsons as
a tackle, you know, like, but he affected the game
so many different ways. And I agree with you, like,
when he's just on the edge, there's just too many
(28:35):
things you can do to him. You can set your protection,
you can chip, you can do all the basic things.
But when he's in the middle and he gets to
kind of free reign where he wants to go. I
always say he's like he's like water. He's just gonna
find the He's just gonna get through everything. He's just
going to be that leak and he's going to get
through the soup and everything else in the middle. And
(28:56):
then once that quarterback is running the way Caleb likes
to like, he's just gonna flatten it to the sideline
where you're gonna you're gonna have very little option to
be able to make any kind of a throw.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I want to figure back the last thing on Michael
Parson's going there. To me, it just kind of speaks
to the high standards that were already established when he
walked in the building in Green Bay. How he's not
only met those standards and kind of welcome and embrace
maybe the structure that they have in place.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But Jeff Hafley, I don't.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Think it's easy sometimes taking a great player and in
in the middle of the season trying to figure out
what to do with him. He's done a really good
job of putting him in optimal situations to impact the
game the most without compromising the rest of the defense man.
This team is playing their best ball heading down the stretch,
and there's so much meat left on the ball on
(29:46):
offensive defense that they can get to do.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You guys, remember when Rocky Long was the head coach
in New Mexico. I remember what Remember they called the
lobo position erlacker played it. They put their erlacker eight yards,
so you had to level of the linebackers and all
of a sudden, it looked like the top of the bucket.
Would call it like the top of the Christmas tree
with a linebacker eight yards and he would just see
everything and just just shoot gaps and get to either alley.
(30:09):
I'm like, oh my gosh, Rocky Long must watch. I
hope Rocky lungs.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I don't know what he is now, he's still I
hope he's watching Michael Parsons and going, Man, I would
have loved to have thrown that guy at the Lobo
position in Albuquerque.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Because it's what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
It's the old three three five defense they used to
run in New Mexico. Brian Urlacher was low what he
would just have re rain and in an odd front
where you can move and do all this movement like
pits Burg has done for years. Like you're just able
to create these things. And I'm gonna say this, man,
Michael Paris is a freak of nature when it comes
(30:44):
to being able to rush, to pass or blitz, impact, impact,
just the athleticism, the explosiveness.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He's a problem and he is the ultimate eracer to
an athletic quarterback like Kaylei Williams. Yeah, I hate that
was that was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I'm just sitting there thinking, man, that's got to be
fun with a game plan every week to have an
athlete like that at your disposals. Figure out what you
want to do with them. Baldy, you were at my
favorite rivalry in the NFL, Buck mentioned it. Pittsburgh Baltimore.
Pittsburgh goes on the road, huge win, and Baltimore all
of a sudden, you look up, they are collapsing down
the home stretch. Here they lose twenty seven to twenty two.
(31:19):
What would your takeaway from this one?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Well, I thought that Aaron and the offense got aggressive
from the first play. First play they hit DK on
a fifty two YARLD go route against Marlon Humphrey.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
It's a perfect throw by Aaron.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
It's a throw that he will still make ten years
from now when he's playing you know, pick on, you know, in.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Elchino, California, wherever he's at.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
But I mean it's a perfect throw, good play action
fake to get get the free safety Alloie Gilman just
to kind of freeze there. He can't get over the top.
But he hit that throw three times in a game.
They scored in all those throws. So he hit Calvin
Alson on one, he hit DK another time, he hit
DK on his ramble drill across the middle, and you
(32:02):
you know, for the first time in a while now,
DK was a big part of that offense. And so
that that that was good and that that kind of
set the table for what the Steelers were doing. They hit,
they hit a play to Jaylen Waht Jayleen Warren for
a touchdown. I mean, I don't know what Baltimore is doing.
They know didn't cover the tight end. They didn't cover
(32:23):
Warren and it was just an easy, just swing route
to Warn. He went in for a touchdown, the final
touchdown the day. I thought, you know, Baltimore had some chances,
uh DJ, Like, I don't know, Like I don't know
what a touchdown is anymore. I think Isaiah likely has down.
I'm looking at it and I'm going, I don't know
if it's the end zone. Isn't that the same thing
(32:45):
as a field of play, you know, Like he's got
the control of the ball and the third step didn't
get down.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Joey Porter punches at it, but like, is that what
we I don't know. It looked like a wind common sight,
common sense in the eye test, I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
An eye testing, so you can look at down and
you go and likely he's doing everything he possibly can
to show possession of the ball. He's squeezing it. He's
showing the whole world I got the ball in my hands.
I don't know, like I felt like, you know, there's
a couple of calls in that game. You don't want
it to come down to calls. Travis Jones, you know,
gets called for uh, you know, hitting the center on
(33:24):
a field goal.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Pittsburgh kicks the field goal. It's a three.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Point play, you know, and then they get the first down.
They didn't the score, so in terms of four point play,
and I'm watching Travis Jones, He's rushing the A gap.
He's not going over the center, but he's in the
A gap, Like are you not allowed to touch the
center at all? On some of these plays? Like he's
just getting pushed into it. So I felt like there's
a couple of calls that went again. Some hardball was livid,
(33:49):
but uh, you know, Pittsburgh, they they.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Did enough defense.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
So I thought James Pierre played really well on the corner,
made a couple of big plays, got the interception on
Lamar on a really nice played by him. I thought
he played really well opposite you know, Joey Porter at corner.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Cam Hayward eight pressures in this game, and they you know,
he moves up and down the line.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Three tech.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
They'll use him as a four eye on the inside
of the tackle. He's not anywhere near as quick as
he was when he was younger as a player, but
he's got so much dang power that the lack of
twitch that he had a few years back doesn't really matter.
And they the last play of the game, the biggest
play of the game, they finished him off, was a
little pick stunt and he just kind of comes off
(34:31):
a pick stunt, ends up closing. He pops in in
Lamar's vision. So then Lamar, you know, tries to get
out of there, and then Hei Smith catches him much behind.
But it's kind of made by Cam Hayward. I mean,
he's he's another one. You go back and look at
that draft. He was in that draft with all those guys,
all those eleven Yeah, yeah, it was. It's one of
the best drafts of all time. And I feel like
(34:51):
because of that, and because of you know, playing with TJ.
Watt and playing with some of the other guys he's
played with that, I don't know that we realize how
good of a player this game. He's thirty six years old.
He's been doing this a long time, man.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, he has been doing it a long time. And
you know the thing about the Pittsburgh steel Is. Dad
continues to amaze me with Mike Tomlin and all these
old guys is whenever you're ready to poor dirt on them,
they find a way to just kind of come back.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And it wasn't a pretty performance.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
But I mean, man, look the still has looked as
bad as I've seen them in the last few weeks.
I mean, they look terrible. Mike Tomley looked like he
couldn't get them going.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Aaron Rodgers didn't look great. He was hurt. And then
they come back and they dust one off. Now can
they keep it up? I don't know. I think it's
still is.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Going to come down to that last game when the
Stellers in the Ravens played the rematch.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
It's always just kind of funny when they're back to
the corner, they always kind of turn back the clock
and bring back a fintaged performance.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
It reminds me of Open Gym, Buck, where you go
to Open Gym and you got the two old guys
and they're like, Okay, well, hey we're making the teams.
We got to give them a couple of these high
school college kids so they have a little more athleticism,
and then they lose, and then all of a sudden,
you see a couple other old guys walking with the
with the calfhi socks on it, like, hey, get these
young guys out of here. Come over here, guys, you
get forty five year olds, come play with us. And
(36:07):
then they just run the court against all the younger
guys like that's that's.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
What the Pittsburgh Steelers like.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Hey, Robin Wilson and Yoo, four to three athletic, we're good,
adam feelings.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Get over here, Come on over here.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
They got so they got young, and they didn't like it, Baldy.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
They're like, no, we got it. We gotta go back
to the vets. The guy that's I think.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I mean, this is four weeks in a row now, Well,
Lamar doesn't look and I know he's been he's had
an ankle, he's had the he's not limping or anything
out there like a no juice, like he cannot. He
does not have those splash run plays on scrambles right now.
They're just not there now where that's just you know,
eight years now of just getting beat up and hitting
everything else. But he does not have that ability at
(36:50):
least over the last month. Yesterday Pittsburgh did a good
job of containing him. Ran for a couple of first downs,
but nothing like where we've seen him just just run
by people. Like he's not doing that right now, and
I don't know that we're going to see that, you
know from Lamar Again.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Well, I was gonna say, when was the last time
we really saw that, Like, we haven't seen him be
the explosive thing. And the one thing about Lamar that's
different than Josh Allen Josh Allen size enables him to
play a different way. Yeah, like he can he can
still kind of grind it and do it or whatever.
But one of the things that we've talked about, Look,
year eight is great normally with these dynamic athletes at quarterback.
(37:31):
Year ten is when it's kind of done. And I'm
not saying that it's done for Lamar, but like let's
just talk about like from Michael Vick to Cam Newton
or whatever, year ten is kind of the line. And
if their games don't develop otherwise where they become very
efficient pocket passes, were they able to use other tools,
then it becomes very very hard for them to maneuver
(37:55):
in this league and I'm not saying that Lamar is done,
but I am just saying he has to transition to
being another player if he doesn't have that.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
There's a play at the end of the game where
Lamar steps up in the pocket and he's throwing to
DeAndre Hopkins in the back of the end zone and
Mark Andrews is on a crosser and he thinks the
balls to him, and you know, Joey Porter's on him
and the ball gets deflected or whatever. But I mean,
(38:23):
you could see DeAndre Hopkins just sitting there, just waiting
on the touchdown which is going to give him the
lead at that point twenty eight, twenty seven, and Lamar.
You can see Lamar go no, no, no, like I've
got to throw. CBS really didn't show any kind of
a replay of that reaction right there, But just watching
on tape this morning, like Lamar, I thought he had,
(38:45):
you know, at least the winning touchdown.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Whether it was the go ahead.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Touchdown, whether it's gonna be the winner or not, I
don't know, but he had him right in his periscope.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I want to get to one last game and then
we'll let let Baldi get out of here. I appreciate
you doing the savery week, Baldy. We've got Tennessee Cleveland.
You say, why are we talking about this game? Because
we got two rookie quarterbacks out there. Cam Ward gets
to win a big win for Tennessee. Schador did some
really nice things on the other side, and is to
me going to lead to one of the more interesting discussions,
(39:18):
which is everybody talking about, well, they need to let
him start for the remainder of the season. I'm like,
of course, who's saying that they shouldn't. I'm sure that
decision was made a week ago, like, let's give him
the runway to see what he can do. Did some
really nice things, so to me, absolutely give the rest
of this year see what you have. But when you
look at them with Cleveland and with what Tyler Shuck
(39:39):
is done in New Orleans, and you marry that up
with a quarterback class that doesn't look as exciting as
maybe it would have before the season started. I think
you're going to see some of these young guys get
more than just this year, Baldy. I think you're going
to see these guys get it next year as well.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Well.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
It's pretty interesting because, like Shador had forty four pass attempts.
I thought he played very well. You know, when it's
time to move, he moves. But when it's time to
just sit there and make the thrown into the zone,
he did. I'm not I don't really understand taking him
off the field for the two point try. Like maybe
that play looked good on Friday in practice, then't look
(40:13):
like the kid just took him down the field twice
in the fourth quarter from down thirty one seventeen. He's
got him right there on the door, Like, give him
a chance to at least hit the two point try.
But I thought, I mean, if Cam Woarre is the
number one pick and nobody argued that, and Chador is
the fifth round pick, you couldn't if you didn't know
who either one of those guys were, and just watch him,
(40:34):
you'd say Chador is just every bit as good as
Cam Woard. Maybe he doesn't have the torque on the
ball that Cam can can deliver, But that touchdown to
Jerry Judy was a laser and it was in stride.
It was you can't throw it any better than that,
and that's through a snowstorm and a blizzard. I thought
Schador played really well. The offensive line around him been
(40:54):
very good. Both kids are thrown to nothing but rookies
like it's it's an all rookie class and Cleveland, So
I thought it was a pretty good game just to
go watch those two players for just comp and just
go there's one really the first pick in the draft
and there was one really the fifth round picking this draft.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
I think what it did is like for me, it
helped me make sure that my eyes are still okay.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Like I can't remember where where d DJ had Chadur
in the final thing. I know he didn't have him
at one hundred and forty four. He was at twenty.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
So cam Ord was eight, cam Word was eight for
me and Shador Sanders was twenty. So it wasn't five
rounds where the difference yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Right, right and so and so that's that's the thing,
because like the eye even.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
In looking at Shador in Colorado and watching.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Me Cleveland, like okay, like I could see all the flaws,
but still this is a guy that rates in that
range where we talked about most of the time, first
round obviously whatever you want to do, he.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Was in that.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
What we had a chance to see is him play,
and you saw the good and the bad. But the
good is good because he can throw it on time,
he can deliver, He does move around well enough to
escape the biggest issue that he's always had is drifting.
When he drifts and takes bad sacks in those things,
and he's done a better job of cleaning that up.
(42:14):
The Browns have to make the decision when they're looking
at Shoulder. It's should dure versus Mendoza, shouldure versus people
in that next class to see if you want to
run it back next year to then go shoulder versus
twenty twenty seven, because I think that has to be
the conversation, because we've talked about this next class coming
(42:35):
up being.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
If I am the Browns, they might be.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Better served to build up the other parts of the
roster before you attack the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
If they draft as well next year as they did
this year, they're ready to roll. And I saw a
stat that blew me away that was floating on social media.
I haven't had a chance to check it. By the way,
Gavin said in the chat that Stefanski made it official
Shore it's going to be quarterback for the rest of
the season.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
That's seemed obvious you know that they had to do that.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
But in the last forty years, four zero forty years
that the Cleveland Browns have five winning seasons and they've
been to the playoffs three times in forty years.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
I mean, look, I was only there for two and
I had one winning season.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
I feel like my batting average is way above average
there in my two years in Cleveland. But goodness gracious,
that is it takes a lot to get that turned around, Baldi.
But I'm telling you, with all the ammunition they have
with draft picks, if Shador can hit and it looks
like he is right now, and you can use those
draft picks to move around the board or maybe trade
some for veteran guys and continue to draft good players,
(43:42):
like it's going to be an exciting team that could
put that that number in the rearview mirror and start
having some winning seasons.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
I mean, Jeffrey Summing is all over a number of
times in that game in the pocket and pressure, he
does not he does not flinch.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
He does not flinch when guys are around him, Like
he stands tall to pocket, is feet calm, Like there's
so many good things to like about what we saw.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yester I mean you you know.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
You just look at some of the guys are coming
after Martin Key whatever, like like when it's time to
spin out. I agree with you, Buck, he probably does
drift to too frequently. He's trying to make every play
a good play. He could do that at Colorado and
you're not going to do that in the NFL. But
at the same time, he got out of harm's way
a bunch and made some good throws extending plays and
those aren't good conditions to you know, to throw the
(44:28):
ball in. But it didn't seem like it bothered him
at all.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Nope, and Buck.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
The last thing as we wrap this thing up, we
talked about this with Ben Johnson's comments, you know before
this last game, I know they didn't win, and we
talked about it with Jim Harbaugh and when he went
to Stanford, like to turn around a perennial loser, you
need you need a cockiness, you need a brashness, you
need someone to say that not this, I know what's
(44:52):
gone on here before. That's not me, and that is
I mean, that's Schador. Signetti was the other one we
talked about like that who came in as I don't
care about Indiana history, like I don't lose this is
who I am, and I feel like that's your door's
kind of to be honestly, it's kind of exactly what
they needed from that standpoint.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
I mean, he has certainly given him that that delusional confidence.
I thought what was interesting was Jeffrey Simmons' comments about
Shuder afterwards and when they engaged in the back and
forth and the conversation in trash talk and all that
other stuff, and just how he didn't flinch and how
he gave it just like he was getting it.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
To me. It's all interesting.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
And I don't know where the Browns are going after
the season as it relates to like their composition of
coaching staff and all this other stuff. But it is
shocking to me that you tell me that this team
five winning seasons, three playoff appearances in forty years.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
That is how is that possible? That is unbelievable. And
always picked at the top of the draft.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah you know, we're yeah, you getting getting a chance
to get good players every year, right, That's insane.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Hey, Baldy, you're the best, buddy. Appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
We always love these mondays man. We'll see you next week. Yep,
there he goes. Uh Baldy's breakdowns gear. By the way,
we'll get you some of that Christmas time. Great for
somebody out there, Hey buck, Uh one more win, buddy
winning one more win?
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Get the Christian State championship here. That's so crazy and
it's come. So where's your game?
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Is that they're playing Buyna Park. Boyna Park High School
is where they're going to play that game Friday, four pm.
I believe against the fighting Hardy Nickerson's and Bishop Odout
home of Elijah Verett, Tucker, Javon Holland. They've got they
got a running back that's really good. So the Patriots
got their hands full here. But it's been man, you've
(46:39):
been on it. It's it's so fun.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
It's sixteen games. This will be their sixteenth game. High
school at they're going to be practicing doing an exam
week basically. Yeah, we all they have finals this week.
Yeah like like like it is. It is a fun ride,
is a long ride. It takes to stamming to be
able to do it. But now that you're here, you
want to get it done. You know what I'm saying.
You want to find a way to get it done.
So it should be fun. Hardy nickoson squad, Oh yeah,
(47:03):
tough guys. Yeah, there'll be a tough team. So looking
forward to it again. High school football. There's nothing better.
So fun.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
It's been a fun of all. All right, that's gonna
do it for us. We appreciate you guys hanging. We'll
see it tomorrow. Red's gonna join us. New father of
a baby girl, going to join us to talk some
college football tomorrow, So looking forward to that one. We'll
see you next time right here on movie sticks.
And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky and Baldy as
we get a chance to talk about incredible weekend of football. Man,
there are some great games, unbelievable college game which we'll
hit on tomorrow when HTT comes back to join the
show with Indiana Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We'll have some fun with that.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
But NFL wise, Baldy, this might be my favorite week
of the year in terms of the action we had.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's unreal.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's I mean, these games went down to the wire.
I mean I was in Baltimore that happened there. We
watched Chicago Green Bays go down in the wire, Kansas City, Houston.
I mean it was really and it was you know
for playoff seeding. To think that Chicago could start the
day off as the number one seed in the NFC
lose the game to Green Bay by I mean just
(00:48):
a couple of different plays, maybe one pass and finish
the seventh seed right now.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It just goes to show you, like, there's so much
more football to be played.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, it comes at you fast, by the way, Buck,
if you if you're wondering looking at Baldi's gear. Here,
we've got Baldi Breakdown Polo. We've got a Baldi Breakdown hat, Baldy,
this is merch. Where can the folks find it? Where
can they find it?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
They can just go to baldis breakdowns dot com and
they can order away my buddy down in uh Monroe, Louisia.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Hey, we used to call it when I went to
college there, bald we called it fun there go. That
was the spot.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Hey, Buck, I've got a list of these games that
I want to get to, and there's a list of
games I have in order here. But I'm gonna I'm
gonna make an executive decision here because I feel like
I think your Jags might be the most untold story
in the NFL right now. I think people will be
surprised to look up and see where they are. They've
kind of sneakily just kind of worked their way all
the way up to the top of that division and
(01:46):
to the point where like they're they're still alive for
the number one seed. That's where they are right now.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, I have to tell you, DJ, It's one of
the more remarkable things to watch and witness, like a
team kind of getting better in your own eyes.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Like I say this.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Coaching high school ball, like you see players developed, you
see the team come and you see the connectivity. But man,
the job that Liam Cohen has done in terms of
rebuilding the freight relationships that existed prior to his arrival,
in terms of some of the lack of confidence, some
of the distrust that players may have had with the
previous coaching staff or whatever, navigating that, dealing with a
(02:25):
quarterback that was trying to find his way forth different system,
trying to figure out who's who and what's what, and
then getting the team to understand what it's like to
go from being a pretender to a contender to a
good team to what a great team understands. And you
guys have been around playoff teams, you kind of know
(02:45):
there's a way that you go about doing business. The
Jaguars have embraced the way that you have to operate
at a high level when you expect to win. They're
beginning to show all of those things ns a very
mature approach to that you take to winning these games,
and they're really beginning to do it. And you're seeing
a playoffs like on the field, off the field everything.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It is just fun to watch, you know, you know buckets.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I went up to Jacksonville like during I don't know
OTAs or you know what, Mini camp whatever, and I
called BISSELLI up and something coming.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm driving up. Let me spend the day.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So because it does start at the top, Bucky, like,
there is real leadership with Baselli, Gladstone, Liam Campanilli.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I feel for the first time they're actually in alignment.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
How they you know, to go get Ja Kobe Myers
at the tread dell and whatever it is, rebuilding the
offensive line, get Erton, Robert Hainsey in at center. Like
there just seems to be certain things that everybody in
that organization is really aligned with right now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I think that that alignment word is the is the buzzword,
and I think that's right on. That was a game
by the way they handled in the Indie unforcing loser
Daniel Jones with Jackson One's thirty six nineteen. But along
those alignment things like to me, okay, let's stay from
an ownership level, I want to have a physical team.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well let's start by putting Tony.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Basseli maybe one of the most physical offensive tackle let's
ever walk the face of the earth in the leadership position.
Let's go get a general manager from the Rams, who
have been one of the most physical teams you know
over the last handful of years. And then let's go
get a head coach from Tampa. With the teams I
saw last year in person, I said at the time
was the most physical team that I saw the Chargers
play last year.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So Buck like they've lined it up.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You want to have a physical team that a team
that can take off during this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They've kind of put all their ducks in a row here.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, they have put all the ducks in a row.
And I think the alignment is everything. And you guys know, man,
to be a championship team, like the entire building has
to be aligned, like from top to bodom. You have
to have the same vision. You've got to speak the
same language. Everyone has to believe in the same things.
They get you to the next level. And then it's
about putting the team together and figuring out what you
(04:54):
have and how to maximize what you have. We all
talk about like the seasons start us out. The first
half of the season is figuring out who you are
and what you need to be. And then the last
half of the year is being that team that you
need to be based on what you have and.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What you've seen.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Because we'll talk about Trevor Lawrence and I believe this
was the best game that I've seen him play. Having
been around the team for five years since the beginning
of his career, this was the best game that I've
seen him play from.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Top to bottom.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
And it is about the coach freeing him and saying,
hey man, let it rip, like, don't worry about mistakes,
let it go, let the ball go, trust what you
see and we'll live with the consequences. And then it's
taking the pieces because you need someone over the middle,
so you go and get Jakobe Myers.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You need a big body presidence, so you have Tim
Parker come over.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You then go and Tim Patrick come over, and then
you go and get Brian Thomas Junior, who's the vertical threat.
And in this game, everybody played their role without making
it a bunch of individual things. It just all flowed.
And a lot of it is due to the quarterback
letting it go.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
U DJ do me a favor.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, look up Devin Lloyd when he came out of Utah,
yepup of things. I know he was kind of an
outside guy and inside guy. He had good pass rush
ability at Utah. But he has five interceptions from the
mic linebacker spot big one yesterday, right, Bucky, Like not
everybody can play mike linebacker and get yourself five interceptions.
(06:32):
I mean, it's been a big part of this whole turnaround, Bucky.
Is just the takeaways that they're getting.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I've got it. I'll pull it up right here.
We did this, not we've done this before. To find
him here Devin Lloyd, because I'll have an actual summary
on him. I can read it my summary as we
go through. Devin Lloyd was my thirteenth overall player. Wow
Lloyd and Lloyd's a tall, rangy linebacker with exemplary versatility
and production split time between line up on the edge
(06:58):
and inside linebacker against the past. He can run in
mirror tight ends all over the field. He's very instinctive
as a zone dropper, able to anticipate drive and make
plays on the ball. His ball skills are special for
a linebacker see the pick six against Stanford. Lloyd is
an effective blitzer off the edge. Just playing a burst
of clothes and rekavoc in the backfield against the run.
Plays Downhill, uses length to playoff blocks, collect tackles great
(07:21):
lattel Range does have some stiffness in space, but he's
a reliable on linebacker. I love Lloyd's play speed, passion,
and aggression. He has pro Bowl potential.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There you go, man, you got that, like spot on,
That's who he is this year. Completely. The over ability
is you know, it's buck.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
We've said this is we've kind of towards the end
of our scouting years, you know, going back over a decade.
It got to the point where when you're evaluating linebackers like,
if you can't cover, I can't put you on the field, man,
Like I love all the other stuff, but if you
can't cover, I can't I can't hide you.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
And here's the thing, because there was some frustration in
the building about Devin Lloyd being a first round pick,
and that really delivered what many expect.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
The first round picked the livers.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
So you declined the fifth your option because the numbers
suggest that he hadn't been playing at that level, even
though you're inside those saying, guys, I don't know if
he's ever been used properly, like he hasn't been utilized
the way that he was utilized at Utah, where he
was a jack of all trades. He moved around, he
did everything. And in this system, Anthony Kimpannelly from day
(08:23):
one has put him in mike linebacker, has allowed him
to really be all the things that he could be inside,
getting down the field, chasing, playing with instincts and all that.
And DJ your report reads to a t in terms
of what we've seen from him this year. Now, the
problem is he's placed so well, you got a decision
to make at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
How do you find a way to pay him to
keep him?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
But he is the ultimate playmaker and his ability to
turn the ball over has really been a key for
this team and this defense.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now there you go, see that we got.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We got Houston k Cy, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore.
And we can't say we play favorites here because we
led with the little Jags. Yeah, because the Jags are cooking.
Let's get to the Houston k C game. Baldie, it
wasn't a funeral. They're still alive.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Casey's still alive, But they are clinging to their last breath.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Here they are, and you know we we we left
last week talking about how Houston just chokes you out.
They just they just don't give you anything. The way
that they rule the middle of the field. Everybody tackles.
You watch last year make the play on Thornton in
the end zone. It's a touchdown, it's a perfect throw.
(09:33):
They're gonna go up fourteen to ten. Last year, he
gets the ball out Jalen Peatrie's back. He's blown up
Rashee Rice in the middle of the field. They stop
him on two big fourth downs. I mean, it's a
ten to ten game in the fourth quarter. And Andy,
who's been unbelievable on fourth downs this year. They led
the league and fourth down conversions going into yesterday, they
had converted twenty out of twenty six and they got
(09:54):
a fourth and two at there. I mean, I don't
know when this all flipped DJ and Bucky, like when, Okay,
we're gonna go for it at the thirty yard line
in the fourth quarter at a ten to ten tie.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But it's remember when Belichick did that, Why he never
stopped hearing about it?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Like now it's you know, nobody even second guest Andy
at the thirty yard line, but it gave Houston the
short field.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
They scored the touchdown.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Give them credit, but Houston's defense is going to like
I wrote it down here, they're seven and oh when
they score twenty points for more, like they are not
giving you twenty. It doesn't matter who they play against
right now. They're just that good Will Anderson, Daniel, the
whole group right now. So I felt like the fourth
downs really flipped that game, and they had they had
(10:42):
some opportunities.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now we're gonna say this and we'll we'll talk about
this because it comes up a few other times, like
guys going for it. And I know in the league
there's been kind of the turn where everyone is super
aggressive on fourth down. I said, when Andy Reever was
thinking about going for it, I was like, man, read
the room. It is so hard to score point in Houston,
Like you don't give them points, right, it's a ten
(11:03):
to ten game, Like there's no need to get out
of pocket. And I think sometimes he sees fifteen and
we understand what the Chiefs used to be.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They're not that team anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And they had fought like the Dickens to be in
that position to be tied up against a really good
football team, and I think that took a lot of
the win out of their seals.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And I never thought that they would be able to
recover from it because I just couldn't. I couldn't figure
out how they were going to score a touchdown against
the Texans.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
But they couldn't block Chris Jones all night. Like, he
literally ruined the offense of Houston. I didn't matter if
you lined up on Ursery or Ingram or Trent Brown.
I mean he beat every single lineman, art, every double
team d from the start to the finish.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It was the best game I seen him playing a
long time.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I was going through his stuff this morning, Baldi
and I was watching all he.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Had eight pressures.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
His risk control is like, to me, better than anybody
I can ever remember. His ability to hit a hand
as it's punching and just control your like you can't
get to him a lot of times, like I saw
Joey Bosa.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Was just this. It was a swipe right.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, he will grab he will physically grab their hand
and you can't get to them. So I saw that
I saw quick arm overs there. There were I mean
these wins were early. When you get wins early inside,
that is a nightmare crossing guy's faces.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I mean it was. It was impressive. Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I will get to my last song on him in
just a secondent. I want to flip over to Will
Anderson because I want to watch his past rush stuff too.
I wrote down Mario and Rivera. It is the same
pitch every single time. It is he is lined up
wide with the runway and he is going to pry
your shoulder open. They always talk about in coaching, you know, scouting,
like hey, can you work half a man? Can you
get through them? Can you pry that shoulder open? Faud,
(12:49):
He does that as well as anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Man. No, no, no, no, It's consistent. It's consistent.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
And in his takeoff like that guy is jacked up
and ready to play every play, and you know there's
just there's not enough. You know, everybody wants one of
those guys, Like didn't they trade.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Up to get him?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
They traded yes, because yeah, that was they took straight,
took Stroud, and I just.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I just remember the whole scouting process when he was
coming out, like not many guys coming in Tuscaloosa as
an eighteen year old for Nick and start day one.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
He started.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
He was a man day one in Tuscaloosa, like and
and it's just it has just continued.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Uh. He just played. He does everything the right way.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Leverage, hands, power, effort, like he's just he's just an
incredible force out there. And he probably as many good
players as they have on defense. He probably is is uh,
you know, the captain of that ship.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Right now, last thing will wrap up and move on
this one. But the sign of.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
A of a kind of a generational player in terms
of what Alabama's had. I think of all the great players,
but every year I talk to guys there and want
to ask you about players, and it cracks me up
because every time it's Hey Booker, he was like the
offensive Will Anderson, like he was the leader. He was
like they talked about defense. Good player, I mean, not
a Will Anderson in terms of a work ethic. And
(14:13):
then the next player you ask about, you're like, oh, man,
he's not quite as strong as Will. Will Anderson is
the guy that's on the front of their mind. He
has been there in several years, Like they're still talking
about him now.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, he's the number one compunk.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh gosh, he's the measuring stick, you know, He's the
measuring stick for everybody. And then so the last thing
I wanted to ask you, Buck, I'll hit you on
this in Baldy follow if this is because as I'm
watching this game, I'm thinking about it, Chris Jones played
really really well, and to be honest, with as many
wins as he had, he like three or four year ago,
Chris Jones I think would have had a four SAT
(14:44):
game where he didn't he couldn't just quite finish it,
you know, I didn't have quite that little bit to
finish it. But I'm sitting here going, if this is
the Chiefs kind of coming down the mountain a little bit,
that is one of their real assets to me that
if you were going to try and infuse some draft
picks and some youth to this thing, that that's a
that's a chip for them, because I don't you know,
if they have to retoolless say, I don't know Chris
(15:05):
Jones is going to be part of that next run
for Kansas City in three years or two years, however
long it takes to kind of rebuild this thing, Buck,
But I think you have a heck of an asset
which which team's right there at the top would would
pay handsomely for.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, I mean, like, I think this is the first
time that he can see the Chiefs have to think
about those kinds of decisions. Like I know they made
the move with Tyreek Hill. Part of that was not
not one to pay him. But I think we're seeing, Okay,
this is the end of this iteration of the Chiefs,
and Chris Jones is the asset that we can move
off of to maybe help us get back. Maybe it's
(15:38):
a short dip and he become right back. He's still terrific,
he's still impactful, he's still disruptive at the point of attack,
but as an older player, he can't do it to
the same consistency that he used to be able to
do it, And it might be time to move off
of him because he could offer a team as a
contender that immediate thing that they need to get over.
(15:59):
So very much like INDOMICATESU at the end of his
run to kind of be a higher gun, I think
that's where Chris Jones is going to be at this stage.
But for the Chiefs, they need that long term thing
so they can figure out how to build this around
Patrick Mahomes and whatever pieces of the polls that they
can they can keep in place to allow them to
get back on top.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
By the way, before we leave this game, Straud played
well and if Stroud to me, this is very reminiscent
of those forty nine or Super Bowl teams, you know,
with those dominant defenses. And think about memory. Go back
to Jimmy Baldy, Remember Jimmy. Jimmy hits was Emmanuel Sanders
on the post.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
They want they always wide to hit.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You gotta hit him, like Stroud to me, doesn't need
to score thirty points. He's got to make those two
or three throws that press.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So the throw the throw at ten to ten to
Nico Collins and yeah, I put it out there this morning,
but I might not that I'm comparing to Mahomes ce
J's own guy.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But it was so mahomes life, like he's being chased.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
He's got Karloftis, he's got Tranquil, They're all coming after him.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And his roles was right.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And Nico does a great job of coming back to
the ball because it's just throwing the middle of the field.
It's just hanging out there. But he gets enough on
it that turns into a fifty three yard play. They score,
you know, a few plays later. It was that explosive
play that they needed. And not to turn the ball over.
That's what happened obviously in the playoff losses. You know,
he was under dress, the offensive line failed, the protection
(17:19):
was bad. But yesterday, like Spags, heated him up quite
a few times, but he did not turn the ball over.
They punted a whole bunch, but they didn't turn the
ball over and that was a big key of the game.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, that's the team again.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Anybody wants us to have anything to do with Houston
the way they're rolling right now, let's say quick break,
we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We'll knock out a few more games.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Cincinnati Buffalo another incredibly entertaining game in the snow. Buffalo
came back in this game. They went a shootout thirty
nine to thirty four. Pretty incredible how Burrow has made
Cincinnati is so competitive with the with the best teams
in the league. As soon as he showed back up
with what he can do. A couple of takeaways from
me and then I'll forget it to you guys. The
tight ends for Buffalo were Big Knox six for ninety three,
(18:03):
kin Kid four for forty one, and the absence of
big time, elite weapons on the outside. I think that
offense has got to work inside out, and I think
you're seeing that in big games.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
But to me, the other thing is just Josh's legs.
Do we put this in perspective for you guys.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
In the last three years so this year, in the
last two Josh Allen has thirty nine rushing touchdowns thirty nine.
Lamar Jackson in that period of time has eleven. He's
got twenty eight more rushing touchdowns in.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Lamar Jackson over the last three years. That blelew. That
just blew my mind, baldy of what this dude has done.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well When he busted that forty yard touchdow up the middle,
you know, against the Blitz like that, like nobody was.
I mean it was man coverage, who was Blitzer the
whole thing, But I mean he got to that end
zone a hurry, like he has another gear when that
ball is in his hands. And the only thing I
kind of feared after he scored was I didn't know
(18:58):
if that ball was going to go right through the
stadium wall the way I thought it might puncture a
hole in there, but he do that first touchdown he
threw to Shakir. I honestly, he could have thrown that
ball through a like a car wash. It wouldn't have
gotten wet like he it was. It was like it
was fourth down, you know, yet it was do or die.
(19:20):
It was like it was intercepted. It's intercepted because he
went through four different sets of hands, and I think
Demetrius nights on coverage, you know, on Shakira at the
end zone right there, it goes right by his earlobe.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Some of them.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
He can still put the highlights together as well as
anybody in this business.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Look, man, I just have always thought that he was
a version of Cam Newton with the stuff that Sean
McDermott and Brandon being wanted in terms of he gave
them that physical presence that is.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Really really tough to deal with in the red zone.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
And the thing about Josh Allen that we've talked about
is when I went to see him at the the
Potato Bowl when Boys he played Western Michigan, and he
was inaccurate and he was.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Playing with a bunch of non descript players.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I never could imagine that this dude would be arguably
the best quarterback in the league given what he displayed then.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But I would say it's not only the skills that
he brings.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I would say it's the maturation that he is displayed,
where he's going from being the playmaker that is wild
and reckless to being the guy that knows when to
put the cape on when the game is hanging in
the balance. And because he's able to do that, he
knows how to protect himself and preserve himself for these moments.
(20:38):
The only way the Buffalo Bills can make a deep
postseason run is if he does these superhero things each
and every week going forward.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But I wouldn't bet against him being able to do it.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Which is why you kind of put an astray by
the Bills, because as number seventeen goes, this team is
going to go when it comes to the postseason.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, when they've had better players on the perimeter, he
hasn't had to do that, and he's showing the maturity
to not, you know, even try to do that. And
we said it earlier this year, there were times where
I thought he was preserving himself a little bit, knowing
like Okay, I can't do this all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But when it's needed, I need to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, he found himself in a shootout with Joe Burrow
and so he had he had to crank it up
a little bit on this one. You know, to me, Baldy,
if they hit, if they hit on all these draft
picks around him, which they haven't really done on the perimeter,
then I don't think he'd have to be this superman
And in some ways it might end up shortening his
career a little bit. I hope they can add some
(21:33):
better pieces in the future so that he didn't have
to dial this up to eleven like this. But he's
got it for sure. He's got it if you need it.
I just I'd like to see them build a roster
where he doesn't necessarily have to do that quite so much.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Jackson Hall's bailed him out at the goal line there yesterday.
That guy can lock man. He's catching some touchdown. The
tight ends really helped them. It's a tight end based offense.
I saw a couple of guys though defensively though, DJ,
you know they did guys in the middle round. You
know that that was like, I don't know, I just
thought it was a great defensive line draft.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
But TJ.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Sanders, Day one Walker, like these guys are Max Harrison,
like the defensive guys are contributing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I know Eorro put up a big number at.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Cincinnati, but they didn't run the ball very well against
that front. I thought the big guys up front, I
thought they were a little limited in what you can
do with Sanders and Walker, But for what they're asking
him to do, I thought they they played pretty well.
And they need them. They need those guys, you know,
to step up. Day Kwon Jones is still around somehow
in this business. Like it's you know, a bunch of
(22:35):
guys in the middle that are still kind of plugging
things away to help that help that defense out right now.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, it's kind of amasting to see them in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
And if if they don't end up winning the division,
if New England holds on, got Lee, congratulations, you get
a home playoff game. Oh who's coming in here? Oh
Josh Allen and the first round is rolling in here.
I don't think anybody be too excited about seeing those
guys come to town. All right, Buck, start us off
on this one. Iago green Bay, heck of a game
Green Bay. They get the interception at the very end
(23:04):
of this game to preserve the win. They went twenty
eight to twenty one, a game that was incredibly entertaining
and finished off with maybe the fastest post game handshake
between head coaches that I've seen in quite sometime.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, look, man, when Ben Johnson called Ajack, when he
called him out at the introduction press conference, he poured
kerose in on a rivaly that was already fully inflamed,
and in doing that have been played in that ribby activity.
It's as intense as it is. It would probably be
on part with the Ravens Steelers rivalry that we also
(23:37):
saw take place. But to me, man, this was a
great game on both sides. And I will say, and
I'm gonna take the Packers side on this. The Green
Bay Packers needed to dispatch the Bears in this fashion
to re establish that they're the team to beat in
the NFC North. This was a game where the Bears
were coming off a great win on Black Friday, a
(23:57):
physical win with a random ball all up and down
on the Eagles. For the Green Bay Packers to step
up and to contain the running game and deal with
all the things that Ben Johnson can do. A very
creative and physical run game that speaks volumes to their defense,
but offensively, they got back to who they are in
the passing game. Welcome back Jayden Reid, Welcome back Christian Watson.
(24:21):
This is the offense that we expected to see them,
throwing slash and intermediate stuff to those guys while running
the football with Josh Jacobs. If the Packers stick to
the script, this is the team that can be the
title team in Title Town.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Jordan Love throws three touchdown passes in the span of
twelve plays. Twelve plays and I mean three perfect touchdown passes.
Now Brisker misses the one touchdown to watching the end
zone by literally a fingernail like that. He's right there,
he sees the ball, he's half field. Safety makes a
break them to they're splitting the post right there, and
(25:02):
I mean, he's just it's a different between winning and losing.
It's just that close. And that's what the game was.
A couple of things.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
DJ one was Anthony Belton has played really good at guard.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
They had a big weakness there once Jenkins went down,
and they're trying to figure out the center position with Ryan, they.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Had a real hole at guard. And I felt like.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Anthony Belton these last two weeks has played really really well.
First of all, the kid's got great balance, and I
don't know when you come down to North Carolina State
if you thought tack tackle guard, but he looks him
and Zach Tom on the right side, I thought played
really well, really controlled the line of scrimmage. Number one.
Number two, is there a more difficult kind of tackle
(25:43):
in this league than kylem an Unguy, Like nobody can
tackle that guy. It's unbelievable, and that's why they give
it to him on the goal line in short yard,
they're giving the ball to him because they can't tackle
that guy.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
That's That's one.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
The last play, the interception that you talked about, you know,
makes a good play, but they basically ran that same
play against the Eagles last week Cole Comett. They hit
it to Cole Comet last week, and I thought it
was a fourth and one play. I thought it's the
same action, same play action, half boot roll to the left,
(26:15):
and I thought Caleb just stayed on DeAndre Swift too long.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
DJE.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Maybe if he looked deep first he would have seen
Cole Comet break first, and maybe we're not even talking
about you know, Green Bay and what they needed to do,
like maybe Chicago wins that one or at least, you know,
send it an overtime right now.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, on that play specifically, I think it was He's
the only thing he couldn't do was be in the
middle because he if he's on time, if he sees
it gets off, it sees that he gets Comet for
the touchdown. If he buys a little bit more time
seeing that that's that I'm too late on that and
waits for DJ Moore who's coming from the back side.
He could literally he could literally just option flip it
(26:54):
to him and he's he's probably going to get into
the end zone there. But I mean, look it was
Green Bay was ready for it. They were in a
pretty good spot there. They covered up the flat, took
away the layup, and then and then he's a little
bit late. So I thought it was an incredible game.
I'm going back through some of the stuff that I
watched Micah Parsons in this game at seven pressures, I
(27:14):
want to hit you on this body just to see
what you think from an offensive line perspective, because the
things that stood out to me, you line them up
on the edge and you can see you know, he'll
went out there. You'll see him cross face coming inside.
They use him as a looper at times, and he
was effective. But to me using him, I've always people
will call it different things, and people call it like
(27:35):
a joker or a walk around rusher. To me, when
he's when he just milling around and walking around and
I don't know where he's going to insert into the rush,
that to me is a quarterback was a nightmare because
I can you can chip him, you can slide protection
when you don't know which where he's coming from, and
you're gonna end up what they end up doing a
lot of times they end up fanning out your protection.
(27:57):
And now you've got a guard with a three way
go and that four to three whatever he ran, Michael
Parson's coming at you like, have fun with that.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
He literally is the He's the kryptonite for Caleb. He's
the one guy beat him.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
To the corner. That's the first time I've seen anybody
beat Caleb.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Caleb pause. The guy can't turn the corner on. I mean,
how many throwaways did he have because of Mike and
chasing him. He had at least three or four, and
a couple of them were on third down. And so
you look in the stat page and Michael Parsons as
a tackle, you know, like, but he affected the game
so many different ways. And I agree with you, like,
when he's just on the edge, there's just too many
(28:35):
things you can do to him. You can set your protection,
you can chip, you can do all the basic things.
But when he's in the middle and he gets to
kind of free reign where he wants to go. I
always say he's like he's like water. He's just gonna
find the He's just gonna get through everything. He's just
going to be that leak and he's going to get
through the soup and everything else in the middle. And
(28:56):
then once that quarterback is running the way Caleb likes
to like, he's just gonna flatten it to the sideline
where you're gonna you're gonna have very little option to
be able to make any kind of a throw.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I want to figure back the last thing on Michael
Parson's going there. To me, it just kind of speaks
to the high standards that were already established when he
walked in the building in Green Bay. How he's not
only met those standards and kind of welcome and embrace
maybe the structure that they have in place.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But Jeff Hafley, I don't.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Think it's easy sometimes taking a great player and in
in the middle of the season trying to figure out
what to do with him. He's done a really good
job of putting him in optimal situations to impact the
game the most without compromising the rest of the defense man.
This team is playing their best ball heading down the stretch,
and there's so much meat left on the ball on
(29:46):
offensive defense that they can get to do.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You guys, remember when Rocky Long was the head coach
in New Mexico. I remember what Remember they called the
lobo position erlacker played it. They put their erlacker eight yards,
so you had to level of the linebackers and all
of a sudden, it looked like the top of the bucket.
Would call it like the top of the Christmas tree
with a linebacker eight yards and he would just see
everything and just just shoot gaps and get to either alley.
(30:09):
I'm like, oh my gosh, Rocky Long must watch. I
hope Rocky lungs.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I don't know what he is now, he's still I
hope he's watching Michael Parsons and going, Man, I would
have loved to have thrown that guy at the Lobo
position in Albuquerque.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Because it's what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
It's the old three three five defense they used to
run in New Mexico. Brian Urlacher was low what he
would just have re rain and in an odd front
where you can move and do all this movement like
pits Burg has done for years. Like you're just able
to create these things. And I'm gonna say this, man,
Michael Paris is a freak of nature when it comes
(30:44):
to being able to rush, to pass or blitz, impact, impact,
just the athleticism, the explosiveness.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He's a problem and he is the ultimate eracer to
an athletic quarterback like Kaylei Williams. Yeah, I hate that
was that was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I'm just sitting there thinking, man, that's got to be
fun with a game plan every week to have an
athlete like that at your disposals. Figure out what you
want to do with them. Baldy, you were at my
favorite rivalry in the NFL, Buck mentioned it. Pittsburgh Baltimore.
Pittsburgh goes on the road, huge win, and Baltimore all
of a sudden, you look up, they are collapsing down
the home stretch. Here they lose twenty seven to twenty two.
(31:19):
What would your takeaway from this one?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Well, I thought that Aaron and the offense got aggressive
from the first play. First play they hit DK on
a fifty two YARLD go route against Marlon Humphrey.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
It's a perfect throw by Aaron.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
It's a throw that he will still make ten years
from now when he's playing you know, pick on, you know, in.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Elchino, California, wherever he's at.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
But I mean it's a perfect throw, good play action
fake to get get the free safety Alloie Gilman just
to kind of freeze there. He can't get over the top.
But he hit that throw three times in a game.
They scored in all those throws. So he hit Calvin
Alson on one, he hit DK another time, he hit
DK on his ramble drill across the middle, and you
(32:02):
you know, for the first time in a while now,
DK was a big part of that offense. And so
that that that was good and that that kind of
set the table for what the Steelers were doing. They hit,
they hit a play to Jaylen Waht Jayleen Warren for
a touchdown. I mean, I don't know what Baltimore is doing.
They know didn't cover the tight end. They didn't cover
(32:23):
Warren and it was just an easy, just swing route
to Warn. He went in for a touchdown, the final
touchdown the day. I thought, you know, Baltimore had some chances,
uh DJ, Like, I don't know, Like I don't know
what a touchdown is anymore. I think Isaiah likely has down.
I'm looking at it and I'm going, I don't know
if it's the end zone. Isn't that the same thing
(32:45):
as a field of play, you know, Like he's got
the control of the ball and the third step didn't
get down.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Joey Porter punches at it, but like, is that what
we I don't know. It looked like a wind common sight,
common sense in the eye test, I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
An eye testing, so you can look at down and
you go and likely he's doing everything he possibly can
to show possession of the ball. He's squeezing it. He's
showing the whole world I got the ball in my hands.
I don't know, like I felt like, you know, there's
a couple of calls in that game. You don't want
it to come down to calls. Travis Jones, you know,
gets called for uh, you know, hitting the center on
(33:24):
a field goal.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Pittsburgh kicks the field goal. It's a three.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Point play, you know, and then they get the first down.
They didn't the score, so in terms of four point play,
and I'm watching Travis Jones, He's rushing the A gap.
He's not going over the center, but he's in the
A gap, Like are you not allowed to touch the
center at all? On some of these plays? Like he's
just getting pushed into it. So I felt like there's
a couple of calls that went again. Some hardball was livid,
(33:49):
but uh, you know, Pittsburgh, they they.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Did enough defense.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
So I thought James Pierre played really well on the corner,
made a couple of big plays, got the interception on
Lamar on a really nice played by him. I thought
he played really well opposite you know, Joey Porter at corner.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Cam Hayward eight pressures in this game, and they you know,
he moves up and down the line.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Three tech.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
They'll use him as a four eye on the inside
of the tackle. He's not anywhere near as quick as
he was when he was younger as a player, but
he's got so much dang power that the lack of
twitch that he had a few years back doesn't really matter.
And they the last play of the game, the biggest
play of the game, they finished him off, was a
little pick stunt and he just kind of comes off
(34:31):
a pick stunt, ends up closing. He pops in in
Lamar's vision. So then Lamar, you know, tries to get
out of there, and then Hei Smith catches him much behind.
But it's kind of made by Cam Hayward. I mean,
he's he's another one. You go back and look at
that draft. He was in that draft with all those guys,
all those eleven Yeah, yeah, it was. It's one of
the best drafts of all time. And I feel like
(34:51):
because of that, and because of you know, playing with TJ.
Watt and playing with some of the other guys he's
played with that, I don't know that we realize how
good of a player this game. He's thirty six years old.
He's been doing this a long time, man.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, he has been doing it a long time. And
you know the thing about the Pittsburgh steel Is. Dad
continues to amaze me with Mike Tomlin and all these
old guys is whenever you're ready to poor dirt on them,
they find a way to just kind of come back.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And it wasn't a pretty performance.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
But I mean, man, look the still has looked as
bad as I've seen them in the last few weeks.
I mean, they look terrible. Mike Tomley looked like he
couldn't get them going.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Aaron Rodgers didn't look great. He was hurt. And then
they come back and they dust one off. Now can
they keep it up? I don't know. I think it's
still is.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Going to come down to that last game when the
Stellers in the Ravens played the rematch.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
It's always just kind of funny when they're back to
the corner, they always kind of turn back the clock
and bring back a fintaged performance.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
It reminds me of Open Gym, Buck, where you go
to Open Gym and you got the two old guys
and they're like, Okay, well, hey we're making the teams.
We got to give them a couple of these high
school college kids so they have a little more athleticism,
and then they lose, and then all of a sudden,
you see a couple other old guys walking with the
with the calfhi socks on it, like, hey, get these
young guys out of here. Come over here, guys, you
get forty five year olds, come play with us. And
(36:07):
then they just run the court against all the younger
guys like that's that's.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
What the Pittsburgh Steelers like.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Hey, Robin Wilson and Yoo, four to three athletic, we're good,
adam feelings.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Get over here, Come on over here.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
They got so they got young, and they didn't like it, Baldy.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
They're like, no, we got it. We gotta go back
to the vets. The guy that's I think.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I mean, this is four weeks in a row now, Well,
Lamar doesn't look and I know he's been he's had
an ankle, he's had the he's not limping or anything
out there like a no juice, like he cannot. He
does not have those splash run plays on scrambles right now.
They're just not there now where that's just you know,
eight years now of just getting beat up and hitting
everything else. But he does not have that ability at
(36:50):
least over the last month. Yesterday Pittsburgh did a good
job of containing him. Ran for a couple of first downs,
but nothing like where we've seen him just just run
by people. Like he's not doing that right now, and
I don't know that we're going to see that, you
know from Lamar Again.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Well, I was gonna say, when was the last time
we really saw that, Like, we haven't seen him be
the explosive thing. And the one thing about Lamar that's
different than Josh Allen Josh Allen size enables him to
play a different way. Yeah, like he can he can
still kind of grind it and do it or whatever.
But one of the things that we've talked about, Look,
year eight is great normally with these dynamic athletes at quarterback.
(37:31):
Year ten is when it's kind of done. And I'm
not saying that it's done for Lamar, but like let's
just talk about like from Michael Vick to Cam Newton
or whatever, year ten is kind of the line. And
if their games don't develop otherwise where they become very
efficient pocket passes, were they able to use other tools,
then it becomes very very hard for them to maneuver
(37:55):
in this league and I'm not saying that Lamar is done,
but I am just saying he has to transition to
being another player if he doesn't have that.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
There's a play at the end of the game where
Lamar steps up in the pocket and he's throwing to
DeAndre Hopkins in the back of the end zone and
Mark Andrews is on a crosser and he thinks the
balls to him, and you know, Joey Porter's on him
and the ball gets deflected or whatever. But I mean,
(38:23):
you could see DeAndre Hopkins just sitting there, just waiting
on the touchdown which is going to give him the
lead at that point twenty eight, twenty seven, and Lamar.
You can see Lamar go no, no, no, like I've
got to throw. CBS really didn't show any kind of
a replay of that reaction right there, But just watching
on tape this morning, like Lamar, I thought he had,
(38:45):
you know, at least the winning touchdown.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Whether it was the go ahead.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Touchdown, whether it's gonna be the winner or not, I
don't know, but he had him right in his periscope.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I want to get to one last game and then
we'll let let Baldi get out of here. I appreciate
you doing the savery week, Baldy. We've got Tennessee Cleveland.
You say, why are we talking about this game? Because
we got two rookie quarterbacks out there. Cam Ward gets
to win a big win for Tennessee. Schador did some
really nice things on the other side, and is to
me going to lead to one of the more interesting discussions,
(39:18):
which is everybody talking about, well, they need to let
him start for the remainder of the season. I'm like,
of course, who's saying that they shouldn't. I'm sure that
decision was made a week ago, like, let's give him
the runway to see what he can do. Did some
really nice things, so to me, absolutely give the rest
of this year see what you have. But when you
look at them with Cleveland and with what Tyler Shuck
(39:39):
is done in New Orleans, and you marry that up
with a quarterback class that doesn't look as exciting as
maybe it would have before the season started. I think
you're going to see some of these young guys get
more than just this year, Baldy. I think you're going
to see these guys get it next year as well.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Well.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
It's pretty interesting because, like Shador had forty four pass attempts.
I thought he played very well. You know, when it's
time to move, he moves. But when it's time to
just sit there and make the thrown into the zone,
he did. I'm not I don't really understand taking him
off the field for the two point try. Like maybe
that play looked good on Friday in practice, then't look
(40:13):
like the kid just took him down the field twice
in the fourth quarter from down thirty one seventeen. He's
got him right there on the door, Like, give him
a chance to at least hit the two point try.
But I thought, I mean, if Cam Woarre is the
number one pick and nobody argued that, and Chador is
the fifth round pick, you couldn't if you didn't know
who either one of those guys were, and just watch him,
(40:34):
you'd say Chador is just every bit as good as
Cam Woard. Maybe he doesn't have the torque on the
ball that Cam can can deliver, But that touchdown to
Jerry Judy was a laser and it was in stride.
It was you can't throw it any better than that,
and that's through a snowstorm and a blizzard. I thought
Schador played really well. The offensive line around him been
(40:54):
very good. Both kids are thrown to nothing but rookies
like it's it's an all rookie class and Cleveland, So
I thought it was a pretty good game just to
go watch those two players for just comp and just
go there's one really the first pick in the draft
and there was one really the fifth round picking this draft.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
I think what it did is like for me, it
helped me make sure that my eyes are still okay.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Like I can't remember where where d DJ had Chadur
in the final thing. I know he didn't have him
at one hundred and forty four. He was at twenty.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
So cam Ord was eight, cam Word was eight for
me and Shador Sanders was twenty. So it wasn't five
rounds where the difference yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Right, right and so and so that's that's the thing,
because like the eye even.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
In looking at Shador in Colorado and watching.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Me Cleveland, like okay, like I could see all the flaws,
but still this is a guy that rates in that
range where we talked about most of the time, first
round obviously whatever you want to do, he.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Was in that.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
What we had a chance to see is him play,
and you saw the good and the bad. But the
good is good because he can throw it on time,
he can deliver, He does move around well enough to
escape the biggest issue that he's always had is drifting.
When he drifts and takes bad sacks in those things,
and he's done a better job of cleaning that up.
(42:14):
The Browns have to make the decision when they're looking
at Shoulder. It's should dure versus Mendoza, shouldure versus people
in that next class to see if you want to
run it back next year to then go shoulder versus
twenty twenty seven, because I think that has to be
the conversation, because we've talked about this next class coming
(42:35):
up being.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
If I am the Browns, they might be.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Better served to build up the other parts of the
roster before you attack the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
If they draft as well next year as they did
this year, they're ready to roll. And I saw a
stat that blew me away that was floating on social media.
I haven't had a chance to check it. By the way,
Gavin said in the chat that Stefanski made it official
Shore it's going to be quarterback for the rest of
the season.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
That's seemed obvious you know that they had to do that.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
But in the last forty years, four zero forty years
that the Cleveland Browns have five winning seasons and they've
been to the playoffs three times in forty years.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
I mean, look, I was only there for two and
I had one winning season.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
I feel like my batting average is way above average
there in my two years in Cleveland. But goodness gracious,
that is it takes a lot to get that turned around, Baldi.
But I'm telling you, with all the ammunition they have
with draft picks, if Shador can hit and it looks
like he is right now, and you can use those
draft picks to move around the board or maybe trade
some for veteran guys and continue to draft good players,
(43:42):
like it's going to be an exciting team that could
put that that number in the rearview mirror and start
having some winning seasons.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
I mean, Jeffrey Summing is all over a number of
times in that game in the pocket and pressure, he
does not he does not flinch.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
He does not flinch when guys are around him, Like
he stands tall to pocket, is feet calm, Like there's
so many good things to like about what we saw.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yester I mean you you know.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
You just look at some of the guys are coming
after Martin Key whatever, like like when it's time to
spin out. I agree with you, Buck, he probably does
drift to too frequently. He's trying to make every play
a good play. He could do that at Colorado and
you're not going to do that in the NFL. But
at the same time, he got out of harm's way
a bunch and made some good throws extending plays and
those aren't good conditions to you know, to throw the
(44:28):
ball in. But it didn't seem like it bothered him
at all.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Nope, and Buck.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
The last thing as we wrap this thing up, we
talked about this with Ben Johnson's comments, you know before
this last game, I know they didn't win, and we
talked about it with Jim Harbaugh and when he went
to Stanford, like to turn around a perennial loser, you
need you need a cockiness, you need a brashness, you
need someone to say that not this, I know what's
(44:52):
gone on here before. That's not me, and that is
I mean, that's Schador. Signetti was the other one we
talked about like that who came in as I don't
care about Indiana history, like I don't lose this is
who I am, and I feel like that's your door's
kind of to be honestly, it's kind of exactly what
they needed from that standpoint.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
I mean, he has certainly given him that that delusional confidence.
I thought what was interesting was Jeffrey Simmons' comments about
Shuder afterwards and when they engaged in the back and
forth and the conversation in trash talk and all that
other stuff, and just how he didn't flinch and how
he gave it just like he was getting it.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
To me. It's all interesting.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
And I don't know where the Browns are going after
the season as it relates to like their composition of
coaching staff and all this other stuff. But it is
shocking to me that you tell me that this team
five winning seasons, three playoff appearances in forty years.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
That is how is that possible? That is unbelievable. And
always picked at the top of the draft.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah you know, we're yeah, you getting getting a chance
to get good players every year, right, That's insane.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Hey, Baldy, you're the best, buddy. Appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
We always love these mondays man. We'll see you next week. Yep,
there he goes. Uh Baldy's breakdowns gear. By the way,
we'll get you some of that Christmas time. Great for
somebody out there, Hey buck, Uh one more win, buddy
winning one more win?
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Get the Christian State championship here. That's so crazy and
it's come. So where's your game?
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Is that they're playing Buyna Park. Boyna Park High School
is where they're going to play that game Friday, four pm.
I believe against the fighting Hardy Nickerson's and Bishop Odout
home of Elijah Verett, Tucker, Javon Holland. They've got they
got a running back that's really good. So the Patriots
got their hands full here. But it's been man, you've
(46:39):
been on it. It's it's so fun.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
It's sixteen games. This will be their sixteenth game. High
school at they're going to be practicing doing an exam
week basically. Yeah, we all they have finals this week.
Yeah like like like it is. It is a fun ride,
is a long ride. It takes to stamming to be
able to do it. But now that you're here, you
want to get it done. You know what I'm saying.
You want to find a way to get it done.
So it should be fun. Hardy nickoson squad, Oh yeah,
(47:03):
tough guys. Yeah, there'll be a tough team. So looking
forward to it again. High school football. There's nothing better.
So fun.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
It's been a fun of all. All right, that's gonna
do it for us. We appreciate you guys hanging. We'll
see it tomorrow. Red's gonna join us. New father of
a baby girl, going to join us to talk some
college football tomorrow, So looking forward to that one. We'll
see you next time right here on movie sticks.
