Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
What's up, everybody walking to move the sticks? DJ, Bucky,
Rhett Buck. We made it to uh, we made it
to the full slate of games here.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You're ready to roll. I mean, I'm ready to go
another more exciting than the first weekend of the NFL
season because everybody believes they still have a chance and
they do so far.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, I mean I feel I mean, in terms of
confident love, I think I'm gonna win the rookie draft.
I feel confident. Wow, we're gonna We're gonna get to
these slate of games here. So we're gonna jump into
some of our favorite games and that's gonna get me
to this. It's time for Hot or Not, brought to
you by Wabi Hot Cloud Storage, and my favorite game
of the entire weekend. I'm gonna go Ravens Bills Boys.
(00:45):
I mean, I think that's that's where it ended uh
last year for the Baltimore Ravens, and that's where I
want to start this year. I think everybody seems to
be on the Ravens train. Buck, did you did you
jump on that train? This is the year the Ravens
get over the hump.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, I haven't fully jumped on board, like I have
a ticket. Okay, I have a ticket, but I don't
I'm not getting on on the initial thing right out
the station. I may pick them up midway. I may
jump on when they kind of take a little pit
stop and may jump on. Then I just need to
see this team display what I call the emotional maturity
to be a champion, meaning that they keep everything in
(01:22):
check or whatever. And the problem is we won't really
get a chance to see that during the regular season.
They've been terrific in the regular season the past few years,
but in the postseason there's a different version of the
Ravens that shows up. Can they learn from all of
those hard lessons, those heartbreaking losses to be a team
that exhibits what I call that championship mindset all the
way through and then they carry that on into the postseason.
(01:44):
So I have a ticket, but I'm not on the
train yet.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Man, you got the two front runners for the MVP
last year that ended up going to Josh Allen certainly
could have made made an argument for Lamar Jackson. But
these two teams will be in play at the very
end of this season. So I think it's fitting that
they opened the year this way is to kind of,
you know, give us an early barometer of what this
thing really looks like.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think we're going to see.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I guess I'm curious to see the maturation of a
couple of targets for Josh Allen and whether that can ultimately,
you know, elevate their offense even more. You know, does
Keyon Coleman become a more reliable piece for Josh Allen?
You know, this year obviously they love which Khalil Shaker
brains that paid him in the offseason. He's kind of been,
you know, that reliable wide receiver target. Let's not forget
(02:33):
about Josh Palmer coming over. I know they were excited
about that, but can Kayden Knox you know, kind of
operate as as heavy targets in that offense as well?
I mean, and then James Cook, uh, you know, got
got paid, you know also, and so seeing the evolution
of the run game there, I think we were all
kind of curious. One Stefan Diggs left town, you know
what Josh Allen was really going to look like. And
(02:55):
it just felt like this offense found a better form,
you know, without force feeding, you know, stuff on the ball.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
But I think it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Could use another outlet, and I think Kean Coleman can
become that. Seeing that in training camp and in the
preseason in person, I mean, he was the walking embodiment.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Still of fifty to fifty. Like he made three of
the best plays.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Of the day from what I watched on one of
those days, and then made two of the you know,
two of the ones you'd most like to have back
with obvious drops for what would have been big games.
So can you eliminate that, find more consistency and I
think you see an elevated version of his bills offense
that will put them ahead of the Ravens in this game.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
All Right, I need coincaid to start coming through for me. Yeah, man,
I just I put such a big grade on him
and had such high expectations and there's been some injuries
in there and some inconsistency. He just hasn't been what
I thought he would be. So I'm hopeful maybe this
is the this is the year that you kind of
see him take off on the On the Raven side
of things, they have put an emphasis in their building
(03:57):
on explosive plays, and when with the run game they have,
they should be able to hit a bunch of home
runs and play over the top and big, big plays.
So I'm excited to see, you know, with what Jay
Flowers continue to grow and develop and develop. We know
the skill set he has. He's a pristine route runner,
especially when he's working back to the quarterback with Bateman.
(04:20):
Bring over Nu Hopkins in there, throw him in the mix.
But I need to see those first two guys. I
need to see some explosive plays. I need to see
them get over the top. You're gonna have so many
good looks with their run game with Derrick Henry to
get over the top.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, ye have plenty of opportunities to push about the
things down the field because ultimately you run to win,
but you got to throw the score, and they need
those explosives to be able to put points on the board.
So unless they want to depend on Tyler lup be coming,
the guy that is the main points score, they're gonna
have to be able to generate some of those explosives
(04:53):
in the passing game.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So I'll just finish this up real quick, and then
I want to get us to another game that I'm watching,
if we're good with that, I want to see Isaiah
likely and I know that you know, he's still coming
back off the footage or he didn't practice on Monday
Monday early in the week, and so you know how
that ends up progressing there, I think will be a
big key as this offense, you know, kind of develops
within the season as it moves forward. How much did
(05:17):
they get out of jay r Alexander on the defensive side,
You know that was kind of ballyhooed. Is quite a get,
but you know, as a reason why he's no longer
with the Packers, could stay on the field and he's
been battling a the issue there. So trying to figure
out what's going on on that front, because you'd be
a real nice boost for that defense in the cornerback
depth there in Baltimore. All Right, we want to get
(05:38):
you to another game. Obviously, one that I think is
is just on the marquee for Week one. It's part
of the late Windows slate on Sunday, and it's in
SOFI Stadium, Rams and Texans, and I think for a
number of reasons, but I think we all want to
see what Matthew Stafford looks like, you know, if he's
(06:01):
got to take the first couple of hits that we
haven't seen.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Right, He's been back.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
At practice all week, as Sean McVay said, as you know,
every confidence said he's going to be there to play
on Sunday. But what happens when Daniel Hunter and Will
Anderson get loose, because you know, he's still kind of
trying to work Aleric Jackson back at left tackle for
the Rams dealing with that blood clot issue, which is
kind of you know, goes back and forth, and obviously
you hope that that that doesn't become an issue at all,
(06:26):
and same for Stafford. But I think that's one of
the big you know, intrigues here as you get ready
for this game is now how that team holds up
physically on the offensive side with two of their you know,
big time players that they're going to be counting on,
obviously Stafford and Jackson. And then I mostly like, I
just I want Stafford to be there so I could
see what DeVante, Adams and Pooka really look like in
(06:47):
a game situation together, because we haven't seen that other
than you know, and even when we saw it against
the Cowboys and that joint practice, it was Jimmy back
there not not Stafford. So I think that's curiosity number
one for me in that Texans Rams matchup.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Look, I think the Rams are a team that many
of us have talked about being a viable contender, and
one of the reasons are there's so balanced on both
sides of the ball. Like offensively, DeVante Adams coming over
to really give them. I'll say this in surprising the
upgrade over Cooper Cup given what Davante Adams brings as
a route runner and playmas and Phokinakua should be terrific.
(07:21):
But at the running game, being able to sign Karen
Williams keep him in the fold. At some point Blay
Corner is gonna get into the mix, but being able
to control it running it and then defensively, man, they
just have a bunch of like energizer bunnies that can
get after it, and their ability upfront to win creates
opportunities for takeaways in the back end. This Ram team
(07:42):
is as thorough as you can find from top to
bottom in terms of a roster that isn't celebrated, but man,
they can get it done at a high level.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's two of the best fronts defensively in the league, right, I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Mean the rugged two rugged fronts. I mean there's no
secret of what they're doing. I mean they play with
an edge, and they are fast and they are physical.
And that's why to me Ursery, the rookie left tackle
for Houston's gonna be under the spotlight to see how
he does against Probably, I would say probably. I think
you could make a case that the the best pure
(08:14):
power rusher right now in football is number eight for
the Los Angeles Rams. So Jared versus coming, you better
buckle it up, man in your first start, because you're
getting ready to see some serious speed to power that
he brings to the table. So I like that choice, right,
I'm gonna let you lump that one in, by the way,
with our hot segment here, because that's gonna That was
(08:34):
this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to you by
a Sabi hot cloud storage. Store more and do more
with your data. Try them for free at wassabi dot com.
Uh buck. There's a lot of other games to choose
from here. I've picked one, Reetz picked one. Is there
is there one you're cooking on here? Is there one
you're looking at and saying, all right, this is this
is one. I'm uh, I'm gonna be perked up a
(08:54):
little bit to see what happens in this particular contest.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
How about Detroy green Bay. I mean, you talk about
the big blockbuster trade, Michael Parson's coming over. They put
him in number one, which I can't remember a packer
weighing number one. So he has everything. So they not
only pay him, but they put the target on his
back with the number one thing. I want to see
how he fits into this defense. So much of the
conversation when it comes to the pack beas is now
they're title contender. But Jeff Afflee has a tough job
(09:20):
in terms of trying to figure out how do I
maximize his talents without disrupting the rest of the defense.
And I'm having to do it on the fly. I
don't have a full off season or training camp to
kind of pick and choose what Micah does well so
we can fit it around the rest of the thing.
How does this defense look in transition? And then offensively,
We've talked about Matthew Golden coming over and how they look.
(09:42):
They broke the code, They don't take receivers in the
first round, so he's an exception to the rule. What
does he look like the number one receiver from the
gate or does he look like the rest of the
guys on the committee? And then for Detroit is man
new coordinators on both sides of the ball, Like it's
been a magical it's the last two to three years
with the renaissance of Detroit. But now you've got different
(10:04):
voices in the front of the room. Does that change
what we've seen from the Detroit Lions and can they
retain their mystique as the biggest and baddest bullies on
the block in the NFC North.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I feel like they're almost kind of I almost say disrespected,
but kind of almost forgotten a little bit with the attention. Yeah,
it's kind of you know, I thought the Packers are
maybe kind of that team, and then obviously Parsons comes
in and they're right smacking the spotlight. We've talked so
much about Chicago throughout the entire offseason, Minnesota breaking in
JJ McCarthy, and it's like we're almost kind of like
(10:38):
the poor little Lions, you know, like that they don't
have their coaches anymore. You know, how are they going
to be. It's still a really really gifted group. And
I could see them coming out and saying, look, we
got all these flashy toys. We're gonna come out with
our backs. Then we're gonna try and run the ball
down your throat.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean, it's gonna be a lot of that. Now,
it's gonna be a lot of run. It's a lot
of old school stuff. Jamiir Gibbs should be the focal
point in the run game. And I know David Montgomery's
a solid player, but the explosiveess did he brings. I
want to make sure he gets more touches.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right, we're gonna we're gonna take a break, We're
gonna come back, gonna go rapid fire through some of
these other games, and I'm gonna go just the one thing.
Let's say one question you'd like to get answered with
the remainder of these games, so we'll run through these
right after this. All right, guys, I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go rapid fire. I'm gonna pick one of you. You
(11:27):
don't even know who's you don't even know who I'm picking,
So I'm putting you on edge. Here, Rhett, I'm gonna
start off with you Bucks Falcons. What is one thing
you hope to learn from Bucks Falcons?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Have the Falcons close the gap on the Bucks at
the top of the division? Like, is this is this
the year that somebody knocks the Bucks from the pedestal
at the top of the NFC South And can Michael
Pennix in year one as QB one.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Really get that done? I am no longer asking the
question can he get the most out of Kyle Kitts.
I'm just going to let that one live. I'm just
gonna let that one unfold, you know, just let that
one be and we'll see what happens with that one.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But with Jean Robinson back there, I think Michael Pennix
is set up for success and a home.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Game against the Bucks.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
They played well against them, you know, a year ago, right,
So can they get this thing started off on the
right foot and find a way to you know, knock
it from their perch atop.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
The NSC side.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, I'll piggyback that and just say, on the Buck side,
Liam Cohen's gone, So what does that look like? Offensively
curious to see from the Buck side of things, all right, Buck,
you are up next Bengals and Brown's what are you
looking to get answered? In that ball game? Being with defense?
Was it look like Al Goden coming over from Notre Dame.
They got a bunch of young, unharrowed no.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Names on the defense. Can't he fix it? Can this
defense just get to where they're playing what we rank
the middle of the pack, where they just don't give
up points on every drive. They can get a handful
of stops that might be good enough because this offense
looks like an arena ball offense in terms of their
potential to be prolific. With all the points scores that
they had, Jamar Chase t Higgins, Joe Burrow is the
(13:07):
consummate point guard. They can throw it all over the
yard defensively, can they get enough stops? And look, it
should work in their favorite against the Browns. This is
a nice opponent for them to start at. But I
need to see that defense play better.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, and I'll flip it over to the Brown side
of things, like who's going to be a part of
their next good team? I don't think this is going
to be a good team. But to me, this is
a discovery year discovering who can be kind of on
this bus as we go. We're already like we already
having already having those discussions.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
We're looking towards next year who are.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Going to build around God bless them, But that's I
don't see it.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Maybe that maybe they can just pull a rabbit out
of the hat.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Bringing it back right the twenty three Joe Flacco just
throwing it all over the place.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Let's just let's see, let's see what works out.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
All right, ratt Dolphins cults give me a question.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
My fantasy team to victory. There you go this week.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But no, my question here is is not even its
cults related? And does Daniel Jones showcase in game opportunities
to consistency that she's check sheenstike and talked about that
allowed him to win that job over Anthony Richardson? And
can he remain consistent enough to keep Richardson on the
(14:25):
sidelines and pilot this colts offense for the duration, so
minimizing the turnovers and finding his playmakers there consistently is
the question here.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I'll flip it over and go, does Mike McDaniel have
anything up a sleeve? Remember when he brought in literally
a new motion that we really hadn't seen a couple
of years ago, and he was the innovator in the league,
was copying what he was doing. They couldn't get weight
to get that Dolphins tape. I don't want to say stale,
but it just hasn't been as exciting and fun. So
maybe he's got something cooked up. So I'm looking forward
to seeing what wrinkles he's going to have in the
(14:57):
first week of the season. Buck, you are up, and
it's an easy one for you. It's a layup. It's
Panthers Jags.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Liam Cohen Trevor Lawrence. Do we finally get to see
the best of Trevor Lawrence on a new play? Caller?
Liam Coleen did a great job of helping Baker Mayfield
take his game up to another level. Now he has
a chance to work with a former number one overall
pick in Trevor Lawrence. How does he get Trevor up
and going, How does he blend Travis Hunter and Brian
Thomas Junior some of the weapons into it? And can
(15:25):
he finally get this Jaguars offense to maximize their potential.
My eyes are on that offense because if they can
get the offense going to have a chance to be
much better than many anticipate.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, give me Bryce Young and this young offense, all
these young receivers they're throwing out there. We saw Bryce
take the steps last year. So to me, you've got
two number one overall pick quarterbacks in this game. What
does the future look like for those two guys? Those
are the excellent points and questions we hope to have answered.
Rhett Raiders Patriots.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Man, there's so many different things to assess us here,
but I think the biggest one for me is, you know,
do the Raiders show does the Raiders offense show that
they have more consistent competency?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I mean, you've got better playmakers at running back, you
know obviously with Gent you've got a better quarterback, a
stable quarterback situation, And what what do Pete Carroll's fingerprints
on this team? And like they're kind of collective cultural competitiveness,
Like how does that kind of manifest itself against the
team and the Patriots that want to be as hard
(16:33):
nosed as any in the league with Rabel leading the way.
So to me, it's really about, you know, like, does
this Raiders offense put up more points, find a way
to generate, you know, more more scoring opportunities, and then
you know, does Brock Bauers catch twenty passes.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
In twenty targets? I bet I'm going to Patriots side
of things. It's the rookies. Man, they are starting playing
a ton of them, Will Campbell and Jerry Wilson. On
the offensive line, You're going to see Travon Henderson. You'll
see Kyle Williams offensively. Craig Woodson one of my favorites
from Cal. He's going to be in the starting lineup.
So a draft class that I said was the best
in this last year in terms of the value and
(17:09):
just the overall number of solid professional football players they
added in one draft class. I'm excited to see all
those guys out there on the field. Buck, you are
up next, Cardinals Saints. Now, I'm anxious to hear what
you have to sell on this one.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh, I'm selling the quarterback. I mean, Spencer Rather won
the quarterback competition, So let's see what just looks like
regardless who's the quarterback. Kellen Moore was given the head
job because of his offensive prowess, So what can he
do in taking the parts that he has to assemble
an offense that's credible, that's a threat in the NFC South.
So what does it look like? It's Spencer Rather is
(17:45):
the point guard? How did he get the ball out
of his hands? How does he protect him? How can
he elevate him with his play? Call it? That's why
I want to see. We've seen what he's done with
other quarterbacks. What does Kellen Moore do to have Spencer
Rather look like a great quarterback.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I'm going to keep it moving because I know RHTT
wants to jump in on the Saints and we'll just
get bogged down and we just can't. We don't have
time for that. Rhett Steelers Jets.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I mean, how do you move past the quarterbacks in
this one?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Both?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
By the way, Week one is a theme by the
way there It is the most important position in sports,
and that's where the eyes go for the majority of
these games. Is what do you look like?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Well?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
And there's just so much new about it, right, and
they're both these these two guys obviously flipped, you know,
flip places. I think the Steelers offense with Aaron Rodgers
is going to be competent. I am curious if that
is the case for the Jets because it's not what
we saw this preseason. Now, I imagine we're going to
turn around and try to hand it off, you know,
with Derek Harmon out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know
(18:43):
they try to hand it off to Breece Hall and
Brayln Allen. But really my biggest curiosity is, like, does
Justin Fields find ways to connect with Garrett Wilson that
we have like because we haven't seen it really in
this preseason in trading camp, So I want to know
if he can maximize that connection there with Garrett Wilson,
(19:04):
and then do they have like just Mason Taylor kind
of quickly become the second option in the past game.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
That's kind of what it feels like.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'm going Darnell Washington with Pittsburgh. How much do they
use him and how much does he play basically functioning
as a third tackle who's a human billboard he.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Ch man they throwing passes to Hi.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I know that's why he's one of the more fascinating
players in the NFL. I can't wait to see how
they use him in that ball game. Buck Giants Commanders.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Giants new Look offense Russell Wilson, Kim Russell direct this
offense better. Do we have a Cam sketiboo siding? Do
we get a chance to see him kind of get in.
He only played for a handful of snaps in the
preseason because the running game is going to be critical.
We know they have weapons on the outside of elite
neighbors and others, but can they run the football effectively?
Brian dave Ball found a way to win eleven games
(19:52):
his first season by playing a ball control offense with
Daniel Jones. He did a really good job of protecting
him and setting Daniel Jones up for success. What is
the game playning in the blueprint to winning with Russell Wilson?
Understand it? Because they don't start winning, then we start
calling for Jackson Dart and they don't necessarily want that
to happen, even though I mean selfistly want.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
To say yeah, I think I think most people actually
do want that to happen. Look, I'm gonna go on
the Washington side selfishly because I took this dude so
ridiculously early in my fantasy draft. H Jacorey Krosskey merrit
Aka Bill. I pulled the trigger on him early I
think he's ended up being their lead back sooner than
later for Washington. So I'm anxious to watch the rookie
out of Arizona Rhett Titans Broncos.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Titans Broncos.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Can cam Ward be this year's Bonicks or last year's
Bonnicks or this year's last year get it?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah? They're playing each other in this game. So I
see what you did there?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, So I think, look, the Broncos, you know, kind
of exceeded expectation a year ago and finding theirself in
finding themselves in the playoffs with a rookie quarterback leading
the way. I don't think that is the expectation for
the Titans at this point, with the way that their
roster is constructed.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But you know, with a you know.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
A really good, you know, offensive mind calling the plays
and head coach Brian Callahan and a player at cam
Ward who has been QB one since the moment they
filled out his draft card.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Like, do they find a way?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Do they find a way with Calvin Ridley in company
with the young receivers Jim Ridique and Lago Manor do
they find a way to be competitive enough in December
where they are fighting for playoff spot. I think that's
my biggest curiosity with this team.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, and to me, you look on the other side,
who's the joker. We've talked so much all off season
with Denver of who that joker is going to be?
Is at Evan Ingram, is at RJ. Harvey, Like who's
going to be that middle of the field mismatch player
that Sean Payton's been searching for so looking forward to
see what we figure out that answer buck Niners, Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Look, this is about Sam Donald. They invested heavily in
Sam Donald, believing that he could continue and pick up
where he left off with the Minnesota Vikings. Does he
do that? How does Klint Kubiak set him up for success?
Can they run the football? What does this new wide
receiver corps look like? DoD jsm become the number one
of this Cooper cups Alid into that role. All of
those things are major questions. And I gotta say this
(22:10):
the running game, because the running game is anything. Can
they finally get Kenneth Walker off, which is sharper Nay
takeover and give them some of that run in that
they need. So so many questions by the offense. That's
where my eyes are.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, I'm it's kind of a sneaky good matchup. There
a lot of a lot of questions, a lot of
unknown about those two squads. All right, rtt Lions Packers,
We've already talked about that, Texans Rams, We've already talked
about that, Ravens Bills, We've already talked about that, Vikings Bears.
Have we hit Vikings Bears yet? The last one?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
I mean it's really it comes down to, you know,
the part of the QB class from two years ago,
right J J. McCarthy stepping into the role and Caleb
Williams trying to, you know, maybe step into a little
bit of a different role for Ben Johnson, right to
try to find that next level in his game, at
the level we kind of thought that he would be
at as the number one overall pay but I think,
(23:02):
you know, it's been such a roller coaster ride, at
least from like public perception with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, Like,
can they find some steady right? Can they Can they
find a way just to I don't want to say
the middle of the road, but just to eliminate the
huge swings here because obviously you love when the arrow
goes up, but like it seems like every time it
(23:24):
does that we're talking about something going back down. So
to me, in Caleb Williams, this game is can he
find more of a steady heartbeat? And then for JJ McCarthy,
you know it's without Jordan Addison, justin Jefferson. You know
we didn't see him all preseason, but what does that
chemistry kind of look like with him not having that
time on task with those guys.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I'm ready, man. That was just a quick stroll through
a bunch of games and they're going to be here
before you know it. As much fun as it is
to the preview these games, it's more fun. We can
break it down, look at the tape, some insights on
what we saw. So that'll next week we will have
that for you.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I don't know if the cat's out of the back.
I did post it the other day. Baldy's going to
be joining us Buck on Monday, Ret's gonna be with
us on Tuesdays. We're gonna be going the rookie draft
all year long.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I'm trying to wait you to post a picture of
my finger, but I couldn't totally normal.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I couldn't get is that?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Is that like that all the time? There? Yeah, oh
you can straighten it out though, No, you can't straighten
it out.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
That's it. That's who did that to you? Kio.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Move all right, we're here. It's game week. We appreciate
you guys hanging with us. We'll see you next time.
Right here on with the sticks.
And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
What's up, everybody walking to move the sticks? DJ, Bucky,
Rhett Buck. We made it to uh, we made it
to the full slate of games here.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You're ready to roll. I mean, I'm ready to go
another more exciting than the first weekend of the NFL
season because everybody believes they still have a chance and
they do so far.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, I mean I feel I mean, in terms of
confident love, I think I'm gonna win the rookie draft.
I feel confident. Wow, we're gonna We're gonna get to
these slate of games here. So we're gonna jump into
some of our favorite games and that's gonna get me
to this. It's time for Hot or Not, brought to
you by Wabi Hot Cloud Storage, and my favorite game
of the entire weekend. I'm gonna go Ravens Bills Boys.
(00:45):
I mean, I think that's that's where it ended uh
last year for the Baltimore Ravens, and that's where I
want to start this year. I think everybody seems to
be on the Ravens train. Buck, did you did you
jump on that train? This is the year the Ravens
get over the hump.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, I haven't fully jumped on board, like I have
a ticket. Okay, I have a ticket, but I don't
I'm not getting on on the initial thing right out
the station. I may pick them up midway. I may
jump on when they kind of take a little pit
stop and may jump on. Then I just need to
see this team display what I call the emotional maturity
to be a champion, meaning that they keep everything in
(01:22):
check or whatever. And the problem is we won't really
get a chance to see that during the regular season.
They've been terrific in the regular season the past few years,
but in the postseason there's a different version of the
Ravens that shows up. Can they learn from all of
those hard lessons, those heartbreaking losses to be a team
that exhibits what I call that championship mindset all the
way through and then they carry that on into the postseason.
(01:44):
So I have a ticket, but I'm not on the
train yet.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Man, you got the two front runners for the MVP
last year that ended up going to Josh Allen certainly
could have made made an argument for Lamar Jackson. But
these two teams will be in play at the very
end of this season. So I think it's fitting that
they opened the year this way is to kind of,
you know, give us an early barometer of what this
thing really looks like.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think we're going to see.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I guess I'm curious to see the maturation of a
couple of targets for Josh Allen and whether that can ultimately,
you know, elevate their offense even more. You know, does
Keyon Coleman become a more reliable piece for Josh Allen?
You know, this year obviously they love which Khalil Shaker
brains that paid him in the offseason. He's kind of been,
you know, that reliable wide receiver target. Let's not forget
(02:33):
about Josh Palmer coming over. I know they were excited
about that, but can Kayden Knox you know, kind of
operate as as heavy targets in that offense as well?
I mean, and then James Cook, uh, you know, got
got paid, you know also, and so seeing the evolution
of the run game there, I think we were all
kind of curious. One Stefan Diggs left town, you know
what Josh Allen was really going to look like. And
(02:55):
it just felt like this offense found a better form,
you know, without force feeding, you know, stuff on the ball.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
But I think it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Could use another outlet, and I think Kean Coleman can
become that. Seeing that in training camp and in the
preseason in person, I mean, he was the walking embodiment.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Still of fifty to fifty. Like he made three of
the best plays.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Of the day from what I watched on one of
those days, and then made two of the you know,
two of the ones you'd most like to have back
with obvious drops for what would have been big games.
So can you eliminate that, find more consistency and I
think you see an elevated version of his bills offense
that will put them ahead of the Ravens in this game.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
All Right, I need coincaid to start coming through for me. Yeah, man,
I just I put such a big grade on him
and had such high expectations and there's been some injuries
in there and some inconsistency. He just hasn't been what
I thought he would be. So I'm hopeful maybe this
is the this is the year that you kind of
see him take off on the On the Raven side
of things, they have put an emphasis in their building
(03:57):
on explosive plays, and when with the run game they have,
they should be able to hit a bunch of home
runs and play over the top and big, big plays.
So I'm excited to see, you know, with what Jay
Flowers continue to grow and develop and develop. We know
the skill set he has. He's a pristine route runner,
especially when he's working back to the quarterback with Bateman.
(04:20):
Bring over Nu Hopkins in there, throw him in the mix.
But I need to see those first two guys. I
need to see some explosive plays. I need to see
them get over the top. You're gonna have so many
good looks with their run game with Derrick Henry to
get over the top.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, ye have plenty of opportunities to push about the
things down the field because ultimately you run to win,
but you got to throw the score, and they need
those explosives to be able to put points on the board.
So unless they want to depend on Tyler lup be coming,
the guy that is the main points score, they're gonna
have to be able to generate some of those explosives
(04:53):
in the passing game.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So I'll just finish this up real quick, and then
I want to get us to another game that I'm watching,
if we're good with that, I want to see Isaiah
likely and I know that you know, he's still coming
back off the footage or he didn't practice on Monday
Monday early in the week, and so you know how
that ends up progressing there, I think will be a
big key as this offense, you know, kind of develops
within the season as it moves forward. How much did
(05:17):
they get out of jay r Alexander on the defensive side,
You know that was kind of ballyhooed. Is quite a get,
but you know, as a reason why he's no longer
with the Packers, could stay on the field and he's
been battling a the issue there. So trying to figure
out what's going on on that front, because you'd be
a real nice boost for that defense in the cornerback
depth there in Baltimore. All Right, we want to get
(05:38):
you to another game. Obviously, one that I think is
is just on the marquee for Week one. It's part
of the late Windows slate on Sunday, and it's in
SOFI Stadium, Rams and Texans, and I think for a
number of reasons, but I think we all want to
see what Matthew Stafford looks like, you know, if he's
(06:01):
got to take the first couple of hits that we
haven't seen.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Right, He's been back.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
At practice all week, as Sean McVay said, as you know,
every confidence said he's going to be there to play
on Sunday. But what happens when Daniel Hunter and Will
Anderson get loose, because you know, he's still kind of
trying to work Aleric Jackson back at left tackle for
the Rams dealing with that blood clot issue, which is
kind of you know, goes back and forth, and obviously
you hope that that that doesn't become an issue at all,
(06:26):
and same for Stafford. But I think that's one of
the big you know, intrigues here as you get ready
for this game is now how that team holds up
physically on the offensive side with two of their you know,
big time players that they're going to be counting on,
obviously Stafford and Jackson. And then I mostly like, I
just I want Stafford to be there so I could
see what DeVante, Adams and Pooka really look like in
(06:47):
a game situation together, because we haven't seen that other
than you know, and even when we saw it against
the Cowboys and that joint practice, it was Jimmy back
there not not Stafford. So I think that's curiosity number
one for me in that Texans Rams matchup.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Look, I think the Rams are a team that many
of us have talked about being a viable contender, and
one of the reasons are there's so balanced on both
sides of the ball. Like offensively, DeVante Adams coming over
to really give them. I'll say this in surprising the
upgrade over Cooper Cup given what Davante Adams brings as
a route runner and playmas and Phokinakua should be terrific.
(07:21):
But at the running game, being able to sign Karen
Williams keep him in the fold. At some point Blay
Corner is gonna get into the mix, but being able
to control it running it and then defensively, man, they
just have a bunch of like energizer bunnies that can
get after it, and their ability upfront to win creates
opportunities for takeaways in the back end. This Ram team
(07:42):
is as thorough as you can find from top to
bottom in terms of a roster that isn't celebrated, but man,
they can get it done at a high level.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's two of the best fronts defensively in the league, right, I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Mean the rugged two rugged fronts. I mean there's no
secret of what they're doing. I mean they play with
an edge, and they are fast and they are physical.
And that's why to me Ursery, the rookie left tackle
for Houston's gonna be under the spotlight to see how
he does against Probably, I would say probably. I think
you could make a case that the the best pure
(08:14):
power rusher right now in football is number eight for
the Los Angeles Rams. So Jared versus coming, you better
buckle it up, man in your first start, because you're
getting ready to see some serious speed to power that
he brings to the table. So I like that choice, right,
I'm gonna let you lump that one in, by the way,
with our hot segment here, because that's gonna That was
(08:34):
this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to you by
a Sabi hot cloud storage. Store more and do more
with your data. Try them for free at wassabi dot com.
Uh buck. There's a lot of other games to choose
from here. I've picked one, Reetz picked one. Is there
is there one you're cooking on here? Is there one
you're looking at and saying, all right, this is this
is one. I'm uh, I'm gonna be perked up a
(08:54):
little bit to see what happens in this particular contest.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
How about Detroy green Bay. I mean, you talk about
the big blockbuster trade, Michael Parson's coming over. They put
him in number one, which I can't remember a packer
weighing number one. So he has everything. So they not
only pay him, but they put the target on his
back with the number one thing. I want to see
how he fits into this defense. So much of the
conversation when it comes to the pack beas is now
they're title contender. But Jeff Afflee has a tough job
(09:20):
in terms of trying to figure out how do I
maximize his talents without disrupting the rest of the defense.
And I'm having to do it on the fly. I
don't have a full off season or training camp to
kind of pick and choose what Micah does well so
we can fit it around the rest of the thing.
How does this defense look in transition? And then offensively,
We've talked about Matthew Golden coming over and how they look.
(09:42):
They broke the code, They don't take receivers in the
first round, so he's an exception to the rule. What
does he look like the number one receiver from the
gate or does he look like the rest of the
guys on the committee? And then for Detroit is man
new coordinators on both sides of the ball, Like it's
been a magical it's the last two to three years
with the renaissance of Detroit. But now you've got different
(10:04):
voices in the front of the room. Does that change
what we've seen from the Detroit Lions and can they
retain their mystique as the biggest and baddest bullies on
the block in the NFC North.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I feel like they're almost kind of I almost say disrespected,
but kind of almost forgotten a little bit with the attention. Yeah,
it's kind of you know, I thought the Packers are
maybe kind of that team, and then obviously Parsons comes
in and they're right smacking the spotlight. We've talked so
much about Chicago throughout the entire offseason, Minnesota breaking in
JJ McCarthy, and it's like we're almost kind of like
(10:38):
the poor little Lions, you know, like that they don't
have their coaches anymore. You know, how are they going
to be. It's still a really really gifted group. And
I could see them coming out and saying, look, we
got all these flashy toys. We're gonna come out with
our backs. Then we're gonna try and run the ball
down your throat.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean, it's gonna be a lot of that. Now,
it's gonna be a lot of run. It's a lot
of old school stuff. Jamiir Gibbs should be the focal
point in the run game. And I know David Montgomery's
a solid player, but the explosiveess did he brings. I
want to make sure he gets more touches.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right, we're gonna we're gonna take a break, We're
gonna come back, gonna go rapid fire through some of
these other games, and I'm gonna go just the one thing.
Let's say one question you'd like to get answered with
the remainder of these games, so we'll run through these
right after this. All right, guys, I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go rapid fire. I'm gonna pick one of you. You
(11:27):
don't even know who's you don't even know who I'm picking,
So I'm putting you on edge. Here, Rhett, I'm gonna
start off with you Bucks Falcons. What is one thing
you hope to learn from Bucks Falcons?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Have the Falcons close the gap on the Bucks at
the top of the division? Like, is this is this
the year that somebody knocks the Bucks from the pedestal
at the top of the NFC South And can Michael
Pennix in year one as QB one.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Really get that done? I am no longer asking the
question can he get the most out of Kyle Kitts.
I'm just going to let that one live. I'm just
gonna let that one unfold, you know, just let that
one be and we'll see what happens with that one.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But with Jean Robinson back there, I think Michael Pennix
is set up for success and a home.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Game against the Bucks.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
They played well against them, you know, a year ago, right,
So can they get this thing started off on the
right foot and find a way to you know, knock
it from their perch atop.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
The NSC side.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, I'll piggyback that and just say, on the Buck side,
Liam Cohen's gone, So what does that look like? Offensively
curious to see from the Buck side of things, all right, Buck,
you are up next Bengals and Brown's what are you
looking to get answered? In that ball game? Being with defense?
Was it look like Al Goden coming over from Notre Dame.
They got a bunch of young, unharrowed no.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Names on the defense. Can't he fix it? Can this
defense just get to where they're playing what we rank
the middle of the pack, where they just don't give
up points on every drive. They can get a handful
of stops that might be good enough because this offense
looks like an arena ball offense in terms of their
potential to be prolific. With all the points scores that
they had, Jamar Chase t Higgins, Joe Burrow is the
(13:07):
consummate point guard. They can throw it all over the
yard defensively, can they get enough stops? And look, it
should work in their favorite against the Browns. This is
a nice opponent for them to start at. But I
need to see that defense play better.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, and I'll flip it over to the Brown side
of things, like who's going to be a part of
their next good team? I don't think this is going
to be a good team. But to me, this is
a discovery year discovering who can be kind of on
this bus as we go. We're already like we already
having already having those discussions.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
We're looking towards next year who are.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Going to build around God bless them, But that's I
don't see it.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Maybe that maybe they can just pull a rabbit out
of the hat.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Bringing it back right the twenty three Joe Flacco just
throwing it all over the place.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Let's just let's see, let's see what works out.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
All right, ratt Dolphins cults give me a question.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
My fantasy team to victory. There you go this week.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But no, my question here is is not even its
cults related? And does Daniel Jones showcase in game opportunities
to consistency that she's check sheenstike and talked about that
allowed him to win that job over Anthony Richardson? And
can he remain consistent enough to keep Richardson on the
(14:25):
sidelines and pilot this colts offense for the duration, so
minimizing the turnovers and finding his playmakers there consistently is
the question here.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I'll flip it over and go, does Mike McDaniel have
anything up a sleeve? Remember when he brought in literally
a new motion that we really hadn't seen a couple
of years ago, and he was the innovator in the league,
was copying what he was doing. They couldn't get weight
to get that Dolphins tape. I don't want to say stale,
but it just hasn't been as exciting and fun. So
maybe he's got something cooked up. So I'm looking forward
to seeing what wrinkles he's going to have in the
(14:57):
first week of the season. Buck, you are up, and
it's an easy one for you. It's a layup. It's
Panthers Jags.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Liam Cohen Trevor Lawrence. Do we finally get to see
the best of Trevor Lawrence on a new play? Caller?
Liam Coleen did a great job of helping Baker Mayfield
take his game up to another level. Now he has
a chance to work with a former number one overall
pick in Trevor Lawrence. How does he get Trevor up
and going, How does he blend Travis Hunter and Brian
Thomas Junior some of the weapons into it? And can
(15:25):
he finally get this Jaguars offense to maximize their potential.
My eyes are on that offense because if they can
get the offense going to have a chance to be
much better than many anticipate.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, give me Bryce Young and this young offense, all
these young receivers they're throwing out there. We saw Bryce
take the steps last year. So to me, you've got
two number one overall pick quarterbacks in this game. What
does the future look like for those two guys? Those
are the excellent points and questions we hope to have answered.
Rhett Raiders Patriots.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Man, there's so many different things to assess us here,
but I think the biggest one for me is, you know,
do the Raiders show does the Raiders offense show that
they have more consistent competency?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I mean, you've got better playmakers at running back, you
know obviously with Gent you've got a better quarterback, a
stable quarterback situation, And what what do Pete Carroll's fingerprints
on this team? And like they're kind of collective cultural competitiveness,
Like how does that kind of manifest itself against the
team and the Patriots that want to be as hard
(16:33):
nosed as any in the league with Rabel leading the way.
So to me, it's really about, you know, like, does
this Raiders offense put up more points, find a way
to generate, you know, more more scoring opportunities, and then
you know, does Brock Bauers catch twenty passes.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
In twenty targets? I bet I'm going to Patriots side
of things. It's the rookies. Man, they are starting playing
a ton of them, Will Campbell and Jerry Wilson. On
the offensive line, You're going to see Travon Henderson. You'll
see Kyle Williams offensively. Craig Woodson one of my favorites
from Cal. He's going to be in the starting lineup.
So a draft class that I said was the best
in this last year in terms of the value and
(17:09):
just the overall number of solid professional football players they
added in one draft class. I'm excited to see all
those guys out there on the field. Buck, you are
up next, Cardinals Saints. Now, I'm anxious to hear what
you have to sell on this one.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh, I'm selling the quarterback. I mean, Spencer Rather won
the quarterback competition, So let's see what just looks like
regardless who's the quarterback. Kellen Moore was given the head
job because of his offensive prowess, So what can he
do in taking the parts that he has to assemble
an offense that's credible, that's a threat in the NFC South.
So what does it look like? It's Spencer Rather is
(17:45):
the point guard? How did he get the ball out
of his hands? How does he protect him? How can
he elevate him with his play? Call it? That's why
I want to see. We've seen what he's done with
other quarterbacks. What does Kellen Moore do to have Spencer
Rather look like a great quarterback.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I'm going to keep it moving because I know RHTT
wants to jump in on the Saints and we'll just
get bogged down and we just can't. We don't have
time for that. Rhett Steelers Jets.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I mean, how do you move past the quarterbacks in
this one?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Both?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
By the way, Week one is a theme by the
way there It is the most important position in sports,
and that's where the eyes go for the majority of
these games. Is what do you look like?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Well?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
And there's just so much new about it, right, and
they're both these these two guys obviously flipped, you know,
flip places. I think the Steelers offense with Aaron Rodgers
is going to be competent. I am curious if that
is the case for the Jets because it's not what
we saw this preseason. Now, I imagine we're going to
turn around and try to hand it off, you know,
with Derek Harmon out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know
(18:43):
they try to hand it off to Breece Hall and
Brayln Allen. But really my biggest curiosity is, like, does
Justin Fields find ways to connect with Garrett Wilson that
we have like because we haven't seen it really in
this preseason in trading camp, So I want to know
if he can maximize that connection there with Garrett Wilson,
(19:04):
and then do they have like just Mason Taylor kind
of quickly become the second option in the past game.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
That's kind of what it feels like.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'm going Darnell Washington with Pittsburgh. How much do they
use him and how much does he play basically functioning
as a third tackle who's a human billboard he.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Ch man they throwing passes to Hi.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I know that's why he's one of the more fascinating
players in the NFL. I can't wait to see how
they use him in that ball game. Buck Giants Commanders.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Giants new Look offense Russell Wilson, Kim Russell direct this
offense better. Do we have a Cam sketiboo siding? Do
we get a chance to see him kind of get in.
He only played for a handful of snaps in the
preseason because the running game is going to be critical.
We know they have weapons on the outside of elite
neighbors and others, but can they run the football effectively?
Brian dave Ball found a way to win eleven games
(19:52):
his first season by playing a ball control offense with
Daniel Jones. He did a really good job of protecting
him and setting Daniel Jones up for success. What is
the game playning in the blueprint to winning with Russell Wilson?
Understand it? Because they don't start winning, then we start
calling for Jackson Dart and they don't necessarily want that
to happen, even though I mean selfistly want.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
To say yeah, I think I think most people actually
do want that to happen. Look, I'm gonna go on
the Washington side selfishly because I took this dude so
ridiculously early in my fantasy draft. H Jacorey Krosskey merrit
Aka Bill. I pulled the trigger on him early I
think he's ended up being their lead back sooner than
later for Washington. So I'm anxious to watch the rookie
out of Arizona Rhett Titans Broncos.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Titans Broncos.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Can cam Ward be this year's Bonicks or last year's
Bonnicks or this year's last year get it?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah? They're playing each other in this game. So I
see what you did there?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, So I think, look, the Broncos, you know, kind
of exceeded expectation a year ago and finding theirself in
finding themselves in the playoffs with a rookie quarterback leading
the way. I don't think that is the expectation for
the Titans at this point, with the way that their
roster is constructed.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But you know, with a you know.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
A really good, you know, offensive mind calling the plays
and head coach Brian Callahan and a player at cam
Ward who has been QB one since the moment they
filled out his draft card.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Like, do they find a way?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Do they find a way with Calvin Ridley in company
with the young receivers Jim Ridique and Lago Manor do
they find a way to be competitive enough in December
where they are fighting for playoff spot. I think that's
my biggest curiosity with this team.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, and to me, you look on the other side,
who's the joker. We've talked so much all off season
with Denver of who that joker is going to be?
Is at Evan Ingram, is at RJ. Harvey, Like who's
going to be that middle of the field mismatch player
that Sean Payton's been searching for so looking forward to
see what we figure out that answer buck Niners, Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Look, this is about Sam Donald. They invested heavily in
Sam Donald, believing that he could continue and pick up
where he left off with the Minnesota Vikings. Does he
do that? How does Klint Kubiak set him up for success?
Can they run the football? What does this new wide
receiver corps look like? DoD jsm become the number one
of this Cooper cups Alid into that role. All of
those things are major questions. And I gotta say this
(22:10):
the running game, because the running game is anything. Can
they finally get Kenneth Walker off, which is sharper Nay
takeover and give them some of that run in that
they need. So so many questions by the offense. That's
where my eyes are.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, I'm it's kind of a sneaky good matchup. There
a lot of a lot of questions, a lot of
unknown about those two squads. All right, rtt Lions Packers,
We've already talked about that, Texans Rams, We've already talked
about that, Ravens Bills, We've already talked about that, Vikings Bears.
Have we hit Vikings Bears yet? The last one?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
I mean it's really it comes down to, you know,
the part of the QB class from two years ago,
right J J. McCarthy stepping into the role and Caleb
Williams trying to, you know, maybe step into a little
bit of a different role for Ben Johnson, right to
try to find that next level in his game, at
the level we kind of thought that he would be
at as the number one overall pay but I think,
(23:02):
you know, it's been such a roller coaster ride, at
least from like public perception with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, Like,
can they find some steady right? Can they Can they
find a way just to I don't want to say
the middle of the road, but just to eliminate the
huge swings here because obviously you love when the arrow
goes up, but like it seems like every time it
(23:24):
does that we're talking about something going back down. So
to me, in Caleb Williams, this game is can he
find more of a steady heartbeat? And then for JJ McCarthy,
you know it's without Jordan Addison, justin Jefferson. You know
we didn't see him all preseason, but what does that
chemistry kind of look like with him not having that
time on task with those guys.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I'm ready, man. That was just a quick stroll through
a bunch of games and they're going to be here
before you know it. As much fun as it is
to the preview these games, it's more fun. We can
break it down, look at the tape, some insights on
what we saw. So that'll next week we will have
that for you.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I don't know if the cat's out of the back.
I did post it the other day. Baldy's going to
be joining us Buck on Monday, Ret's gonna be with
us on Tuesdays. We're gonna be going the rookie draft
all year long.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I'm trying to wait you to post a picture of
my finger, but I couldn't totally normal.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I couldn't get is that?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Is that like that all the time? There? Yeah, oh
you can straighten it out though, No, you can't straighten
it out.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
That's it. That's who did that to you? Kio.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Move all right, we're here. It's game week. We appreciate
you guys hanging with us. We'll see you next time.
Right here on with the sticks.
