Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ and
Buck with you? Buck, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Man? Man? That's too much DJ just hanging in there.
Didn't get a chance to ask you about the experience.
I saw the score, but I got to hear about
the championship. Oh yeah, we got our face kicked in.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We played Bishop O'Dowd head coach Hardy Nickerson, and this
will be a great Then. I'm curious to get your
reaction on this because this was mine team felt I
think felt pretty confident from the tape, like watching the tape, like,
oh yeah, we got a shot. We got a good
shot against this team. But when you're a Southern California
team playing a Northern California team, you don't know the
opponents that they're playing, so you don't know what that
looks like. And yeah, I think they might have got
(00:45):
some kid. I don't know if there are transfers or what,
but for the back half of the year that maybe
they didn't have in the early portion of season, which
kind of change the makeup. Anyways, I go out there
for warm ups and I'm watching them warm up, and
they're barking buck. There's a nice little little edge to them,
you know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And I see a couple of white house. They got
some speed, they got a little edge. I thought, okay,
this is they're going to have their hands full here.
And then they go out for the coin toss. Now
I get a little sideline pass them on the far side.
I'd stay out of everybody's way out the far side
of the field. Coin toss at the fifty. I don't
hear them whatever team called it. I think we were
the home team, so they would have called it. I
don't hear anything. I don't hear the ref say anything.
(01:26):
I don't hear them call it. But I heard loud
as day, we'll take the ball after they won the toss,
and I went, oh, no, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
They wanted to jump right into that. They did not
want to mess around. They said we will take the ball.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We ended up getting a stop on that one, and
then we marched the ball down and got stopped in
a fourth ounce. It just kind of a little back
and forth, and then once they scored, they did not stop.
It was thirty seven nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So here's what's in and it wasn't too We had
the conversation that I knew that you were playing Hardy's
team where Hardy and I go back to coaching on
the Nike Tour, and my first experience, like as a coach,
like in the camp circuit, is against him, and he
is the defensive coordinator of this also team that they
created for him. I think it was great Ion Kings
(02:13):
down in Orlando and DJ like he is the nicest
person away from the thing. But to no, Hardy, you
have to understand, this is Hardy Nickerson. They played for
the Steelers and the Buccaneers. Who's very edgy. Oh when
you told me they're playing I said, man, I've seen
his seven on seven teams take on his personality, I
(02:33):
can only imagine how physical and feisty his teams are.
So I expected it to be a physical affair, but
I did not know what it was going to look
like compared to like, Hey, I've seen their scores, I've
seen who they played there, but you can't understand it.
They were bigger.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
They were bigger, and they had more speed and the
quarterback played good, which I don't think they were expecting that,
but I think they got a run back and he
was good like Sack State and some of those type
of offers, but they, yeah, they he had them well coached,
and it was just you know, with kids, you can
kind of see who the alphas are, like who the
aggressors are.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
In those games, particularly when it's not known opponents, like
I think the state championship games in California are hard.
So I remember when we went up to Sam Maren.
You can look at tape, but you don't have a
no contact nominal. You don't know. And so then we
get up there and I was like, oh, way different,
(03:38):
this is not what we signed up for. Yeah, it's
a different experience. And anyone who knows California will move
on to this. It was not not a great weekend
for southern California up a little bit, except for except
for Carson Palmer.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Guards Palmer took care of business. I haven't talked to
Mauricey if we talked to m j D.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I have not, but I've listened to t J Ward
talking to podcasts about the disappointment in Dayla Seal. But
what I would say with Dayla sl Man Apple was
in Oranges. Those grown men now Santa Maria like like
down in Santa Margarita, that Trinity League, what they're doing
with I mean all of them, modern day sir, right,
Orange Lutheran Bosco is just a different hustle. And look,
(04:21):
it comes down to, dudes. We can talk about X's
and o's is, Jimmy's and Joe's, and those teams have
the best Jimmis and Joe's that you can find. Do
you think we're headed towards?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And then we'll get to the NFL stuff here in
just amount of I promise, But I'm curious on this front.
Like the Trinity League, for those that don't know that
Bucky's just talking about, is all the premier teams in
La Orange County.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So it's powerhouses.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
They're bringing kids in from the Bay Area, from Arizona
from all time. Chris Henry came from Cincinnati, Chris Henry Jr.
So all the top talent is coalescing in these in
these schools. And this year was as an upset because
Santa Margarita kind of crashed the party where you'd had
modern day and Saint John Bosco kind of in the
two powers and they end up with Carson Palmer as
their head coach. They win the whole thing, and I
(05:01):
know that. I'm sure that they're not number one ranked
in the country, but I don't think anybody's beating them.
I don't care where they come from, what other teams,
all comers. I think they could handle it. But I'm
just wondering with the NIL stuff. We've gone from professional
football to nil, making college football professional football, to the
point where now colleges are announcing that they've resigned their players.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
He's been putting those things out of the years resigned.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To I'm wondering if that, since all that talent's there,
is that going to end up dropping even down to
that where you've got kids in high school or getting
more money to go from one school to the next.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Like I feel like that's just the next thing that's
going to happen. Look, I'll say this, and it's not
supposed to happen, but it's happening. Man. You hear the
stories on the word on the street. This person got this,
and this person has did or this roster's value that
this much money in terms of what they spent. And
it's unfair because you have what I call high school
(05:56):
and you have elite club high school football which is
also our teams whatever, And I think we have to
kind of separate them because the playing fields aren't love
like what you witnessed, uh doing your championship game. That's
neighborhood kids like that. Oh yeah, hey, let's let's grab
the balls like what they're doing Santa Margareta and those
those are not your neighborhood kids. And so it's unfair
(06:19):
to kind of judge that kind of high school. Now,
it's great to watch. When I watch those teams, it's
like looking at small college well, because they're doing things
that you were doing college, because you have the personnel
that is going to play in college, which is different
than the high school that's around the corner.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, I know there's people probably listening to us, going
to get onto the other stuff. We don't care about
high school fotball, but look, it's where the sport's going.
It's that's the grassroots we talk about all the time.
Let's let's jump into some of these NFL games. But
because on this episode there's just so many good matchups
with playoff implications that I wanted to give that some
do this week. Let's start first of all, Seattle and
(06:56):
the LA Rams they are going to get together for
the second time. We've been talking about it from the
beginning the year about how much we were looking forward
to that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
The Rams.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I thought they really kind of got out played by
Seattle in that first meeting, but they are able to
turn Sam Darnold over several times end up winning a
close ballgame this time. This one's up in Seattle as
they welcome the Rams on a short week on a
Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, DJ, this is about even a matchup as you
can find. When I look at both of these teams,
they are very complete. You don't see a glaring weakness.
Both teams you can envision being in the Super Bowl,
just given how they constructed, how they've played, how they've
continued to get better throughout the season. In this game, uh,
Seattle is the more motivated team obviously to even up
(07:39):
the series. But when I look at them coming in
JSN is a nightmare. What they've created the trade she
she that's oh he makes the difference. Yeah, that's paid
off handsomly from them. Their ability to run the ball
and all those things. The only thing that keeps that
is making me pause. Sam's Donald's last two games against
(08:02):
the Rams and not going well, can't he crack the
code in terms of just taking care of the ball
against that team or does that team have something on
him that he can't get past.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I mean I thought last week was a good
sign with Sam the way he finished that game when
they was.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
A great finished.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
There was a great finish and making those throws in.
You know, he brought up for Raheid Sheheed and the
role that he could play for this team. I actually
happened to watch the tape of the Rams Lions game,
and then after that I watched the Seattle Indie game
and I was struck bucking and I know they didn't
win the game, but Detroit scored a lot of points
and they moved up and down the field on them,
(08:41):
and I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Sitting there watching it going Okay, well, who do we compare.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
JSN too when he was coming out, I'm Aros Saint Brown, Okay,
Jamis and Williams and all that big big speed Okay,
sheet same exact guy. Like, they can duplicate a lot
of the pieces of that offense. And I think there's
gonna be opportunities for them against the Rams seconecondary or
they're going to be able to hit some plays. Now,
Crosses was getting nicked up a little bit at the
(09:04):
end of that game. We'll see, you know what his
status is for that game. As we're recording this, we
don't know that would be a big loss for them,
but I do think there's going to be some opportunities
there for Seattle's offense against the secondary and Sam just
needs to protect the ball better. But to me, I
think that's that's something I would be looking forward to.
And then you flip it over to the other side.
I was looking at all the explosives for the Rams offense.
(09:27):
One of the things that stood out to me is
just simple down and distance. If you were sitting, if
you're on defense and the Rams are second and four
and they've got and they got two or three tight
ends out there, better you better back up because they
are going to take their shots.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You know, It's funny because you brought it up very
early in the season, what they've been able to do
out of thirteen personnel heavy sets in those things, and
going all the way back to my time around John
Gruden and other coaches, they always wanted to use uh
he used to call it you personnel two tight ends
two backs, one wide receive, because what you're guaranteed is
you get off coverage on the outside and if you
(10:04):
have a really good receiver. It's hard in this league
to play a really good receiver from off And what
the Rams have been able to do is they put
you in these snug alignments where it's almost like an
unbalanced run formation to create all these opportunities down the field,
either for the receiver or tight ends on layered crossing routes.
It's something that you better be ready to defend. And
(10:26):
I looked up I think Matthew seven is like twenty
seven red zone touchdowns. A bunch of those are off
of those tight bunch, heavy set looks. That's first and foremost.
That has to be the top priority if you to
see ow to have a plan to deal with the
jumbo personnel. Yeah, I'll tell you what I would.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
If you're going to get the core corps half look
that the Rams were given Detroit and that in the
red zone they hit them on skinny post twice. They're
working on the other side Bingham warm Ountain.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, bang them. Uh it's called that Dino rank. Yeah.
One guy take the safety cross face and come the
corners out leverage. Yeah, it's it's a problem. This This
is gonna be a great matchup. Now you have the
good fortune of not be in the studio. I am working.
Oh you're in Thursday, you got me, so I'm in.
So it's gonna be fun to talk about, fun to watch.
(11:16):
But look, man, we're talking about I'm gonna see it.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
The difference between the first and the fifth. I mean,
Sam Donald's played in this game. Last year, you know,
it did not go their way. He didn't play. He
was probably his worst game. I know people point to
the playoff game against the Rams, but that was more
an o line. This year he did not play well
at Detroit and it was a one to five game.
The winners the one, the losers the five. Like that's
a massive game. And here he is right back the
next year, right back then another one to five game.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, the experiences from last year child serving will this
year if he doesn't make the game bigger than it
needs to be. Just play the game, don't even worry
about the opponent. It's really up to Koob Yeah, to
make sure he accests him up for success, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
All right, let's get to some of these other games.
I want to get to your game, which is gonna
be a big one. Man, Jacksonville and Denver, a huge,
huge game. I know from the Chargers side of things,
as someone who calls their games, they'll be keeping an
eye on that score because that could put the AFC
West potentially back in play.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah. No, it's an interesting game and it's a big
one for the Jags. They won't see it outwardly, but
you know it's a big one. It's a measuring stick
thing because you talk about them flying up under the
radar for most of the season. Well, if you knock
off the Denver Broncos, who are in the middle of
eleven game win, street mail os begin to go to
you as a team that has a legitimate chance. Here's
(12:33):
the challenge. The challenge is the Dinver's Broncos defense is outstanding.
They're terrific man match coverage what they're able to do.
And you know, Vance Joseph is funny because he used
to be a blitz blitz blitz, splitz splitz guy. Now
they're more simulated pressures, more four man rushes, sticky match coverage,
but it matching up and doing everything they can make
it very very difficult view to get open. This would
(12:56):
be the test for the Jaguars wideouts. Can they consistently
win They're one on ones against a really good defensive
backfield that is unafraid to lock up and play variations
of man and man on the outside. Yeah, that's gonna
be a challenge.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I think physicality wise, I think Jacksonville's going to match up.
I think they'll be able to match up on both sides.
From that standpoint, Well, that's what they want to do.
That's who they are.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know. They want to talk about being a physical
team and the thing that you're going to see is
they're gonna run the football. They can try and set
up the run, and it's another game for Trevor to
see if he's ready to take that next step. Now
we've been around with five years. We've been talking about
Trevor even before then when we saw him at the opening. Look.
He has always shown flashes of being the guy. But
(13:40):
this is an opportunity on a big stage to show
people that he's ready to kind of walk the walk
into that club. Is one of the top quarterbacks in
the league. Ignore the numbers, trust your eyes. The last
three weeks he's been terrific. Now it's gonna be a
little different against his pass us because they can hit
you up with three different guys coming, and that's going
to that's going to test the offensive line. But if
(14:02):
Trevor is protected, then it comes a pitch and catch game.
And how did he do it? I will say this
if you're looking at this game Washton running backs the
last couple of weeks for the Jaguars, Travistn Toutan is
not playing, but they've been using the running backs to
take advantage of matchups on backers that could be their
outlet against the tight coverage on the outside. Oh, we're
(14:25):
gonna feed the pig and see if we can win
these matchups own backers to create opportunities in space and
first downs. I like that.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And on the defensive side of the ball, would say
for Jacksonvilley to somehow pull this thing off, I would
say the h's this week got to you gotta hold
get Bnex to hold the ball, but then you've got
to hem him in the pocket. So what you don't
want is his ability to get the ball out right
now from in the pocket or his ability to get
outside the pocket by time scramble and get big plays.
You want him to hold the ball, but you got
(14:52):
to hem him in. Man, it's got to be a
little more of a controlled rush this week.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Look, man, let's talk about how good he's been. He's been.
He's just so good. Like he's been so good. I
think he has seven game winning drives or whatever that is,
six or seven game winning drives. He's been terrific pushing
the ball. People talk about, oh, he can't carry it.
Last week they dared him. They took the way to
run a game. Three hundred yard day, three touchdowns. Man,
(15:18):
he had Michael Parson's running all over the place trying
to chase him. And you're right, if he gets outside
the pocket, man, that's when it's scary for opponents. He's
become a really, really good player that people don't talk
about enough in terms of his growth and maturation in
the second year as a quarterback, no doubt. All right,
take quick break, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
We'll not got a couple more of these games, all right,
buckets the rematch. You know this matchup quite well, Green
Bay in Chicago. I don't know if you saw the
post game stuff in the Chicago locker room, but I
think it was DJ Moore. No, no, no, it's to
marcol Jackson, was my app state linebacker who they gave
a game ball to, who's been playing great for him,
and I think he made the comment like he still
(15:58):
had a bad taste in his mouth the Green Bay game.
And so they get a chance to try and get
that division on in a really good spot if they
could somehow knock off the Packers at home.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And they got a wounded Packers team coming into the building,
not only the jines of injury to Michael Parsons, but
Christian Watson having the chest injury. So we don't know
what that looks like. And the Packers have lost so
many pieces along the way, thinking about the loss of
Tucker Craft and just having to deal with so many
different things. You wonder how much is too much for
(16:28):
them to be able to sustain and continue to be
the team they are. Coming off a frustrating loss to
the Broncos. I think it's tough for the Packers. And
if we're honest, man, I know they knocked off the
Bears two weeks ago. Feel like the Bears are just
playing better, Paul, You know, like they are. People will say,
(16:49):
well they want I said, yeah, but you just ayes.
You just look at how the Bears are playing. This
is gonna be personal. It's gonna be a good one.
It's gonna be tough for the Packers to win in
the wind the city. A little bit of a short
week too.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
It's a Saturday game and Chicago to meet their offensive line.
I mentioned it the other day. They've been able to
dent defensive lines. Man, They're getting a movement and it's
been physical. I think this is an offensive line day
for the Bears. Let's get to a couple more. Pittsburgh
had a big one the other night against the ugly,
ugly Miami team, especially offensively, but they have stepped up
(17:21):
and challenge here.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
They've got to go to Detroit. Detroit fighting for their
playoff lives here. Yeah, there's something about Detroit. When I
watched him play against the Rams, I feel like, man,
they can just find their way into the tournament. They
can be a problem for opponents just because of the
explosiveness and they're know how. In terms of navigating the postseason,
I think they found their rhythm offensively. Dan Campbell has
(17:44):
unlocked some pieces. When you see Amamra Saint Brown and
Jameson Williams get loose while they're still having the running game.
That's a lot to handle. And Jerry Golf is playing
really well. It's a tough offense, man, it's a really
difficult offense to deal with. And Dan Campbell is beginning
to find his way as a play called.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I think this ends up being a shootout, and I
think you end up seeing you know, Rogers played pretty well.
I think he has a big game. I think they're
going to be able to make some plays down the
field with DK and company. But I also worry about
the Pittsburgh Corners holding up against this Detroit pass receiving
duo out there. So I think it's a high scoring game.
I don't have a great feel. I would say Detroit
(18:22):
probably stick with them to win this game. But I
think it ends up being a really, really high scoring affair.
I think you'll see good Aaron Rodgerson to playing indoors.
He likes playing in there. I think you'll see a
good version of him in that passing attack man.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Every time you count the Pittsburgh still is out. They
somehow found their way back into the conversation. The performance
they had on Monday night. There's probably one of the
best offensive performances we've seen from them in terms of
the rhythm in the passing game, DK Metcalf and others
getting involved. I just don't know if they can score
enough against Alliance. I always think about Pittsburgh like Man
(18:56):
twenty is like the cap on what they normally can do,
and on Monday they got past that, but it was
so hard for them to do. I'm gonna take the Lions.
I don't really know. I'm gonna take the Lions just
because the offense. I think their offense is just gonna
put the number up that I don't know if to
steal this can match. Yeah, I'm probably lean in that direction. There.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Let's get to just a few more here, Tampa Bay
and Carolina in the battle for a underwhelming division in
the NFL. Here both sitting at seven and seven. It's
wide open for both these teams.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You know, DJ, I feel like my brother matches your
Padres fandom. He's the Panther guy now with his love
of the Panthers, and it's the roller coaster ride. Like
the emojis are good and bad and good and bad,
and so just when they have the division right there
for them to take. They lay an egg and they
don't play well against the Saints. That's it. Whenever they've
(19:49):
had to play up, they played better against. They play
up to the level of competition. I think they'll play
up this week. Bryce Young has been effective. I think
he's gonna try and find t Mac early and often.
They got to get back to running the football because
when they run the football allows them to control the game.
And then defensively they have to limit the big plays
that the Bucks have done. After talk Bowles and passion,
(20:12):
uh post get away, Uh, they have to beerform better.
I'm leaning towards the Panthers. Maybe that's the home home love,
but I'm leaning towards the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
All Right, New England, Baltimore, New England man tough loss.
They blow that big lead against Buffalo. Now you got
to go take on a Baltimore Ravens team who's in
that fight with the with Pittsburgh for the AFC North
title here and that's kind of their pathway. So a
huge game for Baltimore and New England's got all of
a sudden from being in control of this whole thing,
being in a little bit of trouble inside this division.
(20:45):
They dropped this game. Yeah, this is a tough one.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
This gonna be kind of measure of the pit, the Patrick,
the Patriots resilience. Uh, you drop the game to Buffalo.
It's a disappointing loss. So now you feel like you
gave one away that you should have gotten. You take
on a Baltimore team that is fighting for their lives.
The thing about the Baltimore Ravens, I just never know
which person is going to show up, and because of that,
(21:10):
I'm all in on the Patriots. I think they did the
more mature team, did a more consistent team obviously, as
a record indicates, and I still have questions about the
Baltimore Ravens defense. So to me, I think Josh mcgames
and Drake may class success in the passing game and
that allows Tregaan Henderson deliver a big player to win
the run.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I do think New England is the better team, but
I think Baltimore, coming off of last week, maybe a
little bit of a get right game, but defensively had
a really good showing a shutout Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals.
One of the worst games Burrows played by his own admission,
So I think they just every time you try and
count this type of a team out that's got so
much history.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
These guys have.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Been there, done that, it's still all a little new
for New England. I actually think this ends up being
a really really close game, and maybe a little more
low scoring than you might think. So looking forward to
that one huge, huge game with the Ravens and the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Last one Philip Rivers two point.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Zero here against the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Buck look, man, he had the team positioned to do it.
And everything that we talked about that was not related
to the passing game was how the coast we were
to stay in the game the first half DJ they
squatted on the ball, I mean, they were a half
court basketball team, just making the Seahawks play at their tempo.
Philip Rivers' ability to get the team in the right
(22:29):
play it was a bunch of what you said. It
was gonna be a bunch of swings and screens and
f angles and checkdowns and those things. It'd be a
little more difficult now that the Niners have seen maybe
his limitations on tape. I think this gonna be tough
sledding for the Indianapolis Coats.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
When I was growing up buck we didn't have we
had hardescape in the backyard, so we didn't have a
yard a backyard so to speak.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It was just all hard and.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Then we had a little baby lawn in the front
so we play.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Football there as kids. But it was tight.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It was tight, and that's what the Indianapolis Colts are there,
they're playing. It was a three six six coach with
and alcoholm they're playing in my front yard there. It's
just a little postage stamp. We're not going to be
able to get the ball down the field. You know,
you want to take your chances and go out in
the cul de sac in the street. You go ahead,
but you go down that's gonna skin, that's gonna leave
a mark, uh there. You know if you want to
(23:20):
do that is not only half court basketball, man.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's not only that. Is playing with that little parcela
in with a nerf ball. Oh yeah, so you know
I have nerf balls. Don't flop for that's what we're doing.
So we're trying to push you down to the field. But
that thing is not going farther than in the fifteen yards,
like yeah. I mean, that's what we're doing. And we
can dress it up as many ways as we can.
(23:43):
But man, you're playing in a fifteen yard box. How
long can they sustain it? Here's my here's my question, though.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The ultimate move would be you kind of you put
that out there against Seattle on that defense. You know
the challenge is there, and now all you've done is
you're just gonna pull them up and then Philip can
just lob some hanger and aids over the top. Just
just a couple a couple of quick go balls the
way I used to throw a go ball. Buck and
other quarterbacks were in the gun taking a full five.
I was a quick three. I'm gonna get that thing
up early and as high as I can.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well, you know this, and we saw Peyton do this.
It is different playing indoors. I'm being out quick this
and that. People gonna look at that game and they're
gonna talk about Seattle. But what we don't know on TV,
we don't know the win conditions. We don't know what
the weather is fully like in terms of the challenges.
You're right, he might be able to push it more
down the field at home, just because of those cozy confines.
(24:32):
So now let's just we just stretch your little parcel
in out a little bit. We'll put we'll put the
tail behind the nerf ball, so we give it a little,
a little juice. We put it like a little tail
so we can fly a little. That's a great sound.
All right, this is a great slate of games. Man.
I cannot wait looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Uh, if we don't have a chance, So this will
be the last time I'll be on I believe, before
we get to Christmas and the holidays are here. So
I just want to wish chrismas happy holidays everybody out there.
Buck in my presidence is I get to do this
show with you, enjoy it and wish you in yours
all the best, my friend.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Look, man, it's so much fun. I love the holidays.
I love doing this stuff with you, and I love
our people there watch and tune in. So more fun
to come in twenty twenty six. All right, we appreciate you.
We'll see you next time. Right here, find with the
sticks
And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ and
Buck with you? Buck, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Man? Man? That's too much DJ just hanging in there.
Didn't get a chance to ask you about the experience.
I saw the score, but I got to hear about
the championship. Oh yeah, we got our face kicked in.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We played Bishop O'Dowd head coach Hardy Nickerson, and this
will be a great Then. I'm curious to get your
reaction on this because this was mine team felt I
think felt pretty confident from the tape, like watching the tape, like,
oh yeah, we got a shot. We got a good
shot against this team. But when you're a Southern California
team playing a Northern California team, you don't know the
opponents that they're playing, so you don't know what that
looks like. And yeah, I think they might have got
(00:45):
some kid. I don't know if there are transfers or what,
but for the back half of the year that maybe
they didn't have in the early portion of season, which
kind of change the makeup. Anyways, I go out there
for warm ups and I'm watching them warm up, and
they're barking buck. There's a nice little little edge to them,
you know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And I see a couple of white house. They got
some speed, they got a little edge. I thought, okay,
this is they're going to have their hands full here.
And then they go out for the coin toss. Now
I get a little sideline pass them on the far side.
I'd stay out of everybody's way out the far side
of the field. Coin toss at the fifty. I don't
hear them whatever team called it. I think we were
the home team, so they would have called it. I
don't hear anything. I don't hear the ref say anything.
(01:26):
I don't hear them call it. But I heard loud
as day, we'll take the ball after they won the toss,
and I went, oh, no, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
They wanted to jump right into that. They did not
want to mess around. They said we will take the ball.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We ended up getting a stop on that one, and
then we marched the ball down and got stopped in
a fourth ounce. It just kind of a little back
and forth, and then once they scored, they did not stop.
It was thirty seven nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So here's what's in and it wasn't too We had
the conversation that I knew that you were playing Hardy's
team where Hardy and I go back to coaching on
the Nike Tour, and my first experience, like as a coach,
like in the camp circuit, is against him, and he
is the defensive coordinator of this also team that they
created for him. I think it was great Ion Kings
(02:13):
down in Orlando and DJ like he is the nicest
person away from the thing. But to no, Hardy, you
have to understand, this is Hardy Nickerson. They played for
the Steelers and the Buccaneers. Who's very edgy. Oh when
you told me they're playing I said, man, I've seen
his seven on seven teams take on his personality, I
(02:33):
can only imagine how physical and feisty his teams are.
So I expected it to be a physical affair, but
I did not know what it was going to look
like compared to like, Hey, I've seen their scores, I've
seen who they played there, but you can't understand it.
They were bigger.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
They were bigger, and they had more speed and the
quarterback played good, which I don't think they were expecting that,
but I think they got a run back and he
was good like Sack State and some of those type
of offers, but they, yeah, they he had them well coached,
and it was just you know, with kids, you can
kind of see who the alphas are, like who the
aggressors are.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
In those games, particularly when it's not known opponents, like
I think the state championship games in California are hard.
So I remember when we went up to Sam Maren.
You can look at tape, but you don't have a
no contact nominal. You don't know. And so then we
get up there and I was like, oh, way different,
(03:38):
this is not what we signed up for. Yeah, it's
a different experience. And anyone who knows California will move
on to this. It was not not a great weekend
for southern California up a little bit, except for except
for Carson Palmer.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Guards Palmer took care of business. I haven't talked to
Mauricey if we talked to m j D.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I have not, but I've listened to t J Ward
talking to podcasts about the disappointment in Dayla Seal. But
what I would say with Dayla sl Man Apple was
in Oranges. Those grown men now Santa Maria like like
down in Santa Margarita, that Trinity League, what they're doing
with I mean all of them, modern day sir, right,
Orange Lutheran Bosco is just a different hustle. And look,
(04:21):
it comes down to, dudes. We can talk about X's
and o's is, Jimmy's and Joe's, and those teams have
the best Jimmis and Joe's that you can find. Do
you think we're headed towards?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And then we'll get to the NFL stuff here in
just amount of I promise, But I'm curious on this front.
Like the Trinity League, for those that don't know that
Bucky's just talking about, is all the premier teams in
La Orange County.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So it's powerhouses.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
They're bringing kids in from the Bay Area, from Arizona
from all time. Chris Henry came from Cincinnati, Chris Henry Jr.
So all the top talent is coalescing in these in
these schools. And this year was as an upset because
Santa Margarita kind of crashed the party where you'd had
modern day and Saint John Bosco kind of in the
two powers and they end up with Carson Palmer as
their head coach. They win the whole thing, and I
(05:01):
know that. I'm sure that they're not number one ranked
in the country, but I don't think anybody's beating them.
I don't care where they come from, what other teams,
all comers. I think they could handle it. But I'm
just wondering with the NIL stuff. We've gone from professional
football to nil, making college football professional football, to the
point where now colleges are announcing that they've resigned their players.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
He's been putting those things out of the years resigned.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To I'm wondering if that, since all that talent's there,
is that going to end up dropping even down to
that where you've got kids in high school or getting
more money to go from one school to the next.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Like I feel like that's just the next thing that's
going to happen. Look, I'll say this, and it's not
supposed to happen, but it's happening. Man. You hear the
stories on the word on the street. This person got this,
and this person has did or this roster's value that
this much money in terms of what they spent. And
it's unfair because you have what I call high school
(05:56):
and you have elite club high school football which is
also our teams whatever, And I think we have to
kind of separate them because the playing fields aren't love
like what you witnessed, uh doing your championship game. That's
neighborhood kids like that. Oh yeah, hey, let's let's grab
the balls like what they're doing Santa Margareta and those
those are not your neighborhood kids. And so it's unfair
(06:19):
to kind of judge that kind of high school. Now,
it's great to watch. When I watch those teams, it's
like looking at small college well, because they're doing things
that you were doing college, because you have the personnel
that is going to play in college, which is different
than the high school that's around the corner.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, I know there's people probably listening to us, going
to get onto the other stuff. We don't care about
high school fotball, but look, it's where the sport's going.
It's that's the grassroots we talk about all the time.
Let's let's jump into some of these NFL games. But
because on this episode there's just so many good matchups
with playoff implications that I wanted to give that some
do this week. Let's start first of all, Seattle and
(06:56):
the LA Rams they are going to get together for
the second time. We've been talking about it from the
beginning the year about how much we were looking forward
to that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
The Rams.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I thought they really kind of got out played by
Seattle in that first meeting, but they are able to
turn Sam Darnold over several times end up winning a
close ballgame this time. This one's up in Seattle as
they welcome the Rams on a short week on a
Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, DJ, this is about even a matchup as you
can find. When I look at both of these teams,
they are very complete. You don't see a glaring weakness.
Both teams you can envision being in the Super Bowl,
just given how they constructed, how they've played, how they've
continued to get better throughout the season. In this game, uh,
Seattle is the more motivated team obviously to even up
(07:39):
the series. But when I look at them coming in
JSN is a nightmare. What they've created the trade she
she that's oh he makes the difference. Yeah, that's paid
off handsomly from them. Their ability to run the ball
and all those things. The only thing that keeps that
is making me pause. Sam's Donald's last two games against
(08:02):
the Rams and not going well, can't he crack the
code in terms of just taking care of the ball
against that team or does that team have something on
him that he can't get past.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I mean I thought last week was a good
sign with Sam the way he finished that game when
they was.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
A great finished.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
There was a great finish and making those throws in.
You know, he brought up for Raheid Sheheed and the
role that he could play for this team. I actually
happened to watch the tape of the Rams Lions game,
and then after that I watched the Seattle Indie game
and I was struck bucking and I know they didn't
win the game, but Detroit scored a lot of points
and they moved up and down the field on them,
(08:41):
and I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Sitting there watching it going Okay, well, who do we compare.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
JSN too when he was coming out, I'm Aros Saint Brown, Okay,
Jamis and Williams and all that big big speed Okay,
sheet same exact guy. Like, they can duplicate a lot
of the pieces of that offense. And I think there's
gonna be opportunities for them against the Rams seconecondary or
they're going to be able to hit some plays. Now,
Crosses was getting nicked up a little bit at the
(09:04):
end of that game. We'll see, you know what his
status is for that game. As we're recording this, we
don't know that would be a big loss for them,
but I do think there's going to be some opportunities
there for Seattle's offense against the secondary and Sam just
needs to protect the ball better. But to me, I
think that's that's something I would be looking forward to.
And then you flip it over to the other side.
I was looking at all the explosives for the Rams offense.
(09:27):
One of the things that stood out to me is
just simple down and distance. If you were sitting, if
you're on defense and the Rams are second and four
and they've got and they got two or three tight
ends out there, better you better back up because they
are going to take their shots.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You know, It's funny because you brought it up very
early in the season, what they've been able to do
out of thirteen personnel heavy sets in those things, and
going all the way back to my time around John
Gruden and other coaches, they always wanted to use uh
he used to call it you personnel two tight ends
two backs, one wide receive, because what you're guaranteed is
you get off coverage on the outside and if you
(10:04):
have a really good receiver. It's hard in this league
to play a really good receiver from off And what
the Rams have been able to do is they put
you in these snug alignments where it's almost like an
unbalanced run formation to create all these opportunities down the field,
either for the receiver or tight ends on layered crossing routes.
It's something that you better be ready to defend. And
(10:26):
I looked up I think Matthew seven is like twenty
seven red zone touchdowns. A bunch of those are off
of those tight bunch, heavy set looks. That's first and foremost.
That has to be the top priority if you to
see ow to have a plan to deal with the
jumbo personnel. Yeah, I'll tell you what I would.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
If you're going to get the core corps half look
that the Rams were given Detroit and that in the
red zone they hit them on skinny post twice. They're
working on the other side Bingham warm Ountain.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, bang them. Uh it's called that Dino rank. Yeah.
One guy take the safety cross face and come the
corners out leverage. Yeah, it's it's a problem. This This
is gonna be a great matchup. Now you have the
good fortune of not be in the studio. I am working.
Oh you're in Thursday, you got me, so I'm in.
So it's gonna be fun to talk about, fun to watch.
(11:16):
But look, man, we're talking about I'm gonna see it.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
The difference between the first and the fifth. I mean,
Sam Donald's played in this game. Last year, you know,
it did not go their way. He didn't play. He
was probably his worst game. I know people point to
the playoff game against the Rams, but that was more
an o line. This year he did not play well
at Detroit and it was a one to five game.
The winners the one, the losers the five. Like that's
a massive game. And here he is right back the
next year, right back then another one to five game.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, the experiences from last year child serving will this
year if he doesn't make the game bigger than it
needs to be. Just play the game, don't even worry
about the opponent. It's really up to Koob Yeah, to
make sure he accests him up for success, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
All right, let's get to some of these other games.
I want to get to your game, which is gonna
be a big one. Man, Jacksonville and Denver, a huge,
huge game. I know from the Chargers side of things,
as someone who calls their games, they'll be keeping an
eye on that score because that could put the AFC
West potentially back in play.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah. No, it's an interesting game and it's a big
one for the Jags. They won't see it outwardly, but
you know it's a big one. It's a measuring stick
thing because you talk about them flying up under the
radar for most of the season. Well, if you knock
off the Denver Broncos, who are in the middle of
eleven game win, street mail os begin to go to
you as a team that has a legitimate chance. Here's
(12:33):
the challenge. The challenge is the Dinver's Broncos defense is outstanding.
They're terrific man match coverage what they're able to do.
And you know, Vance Joseph is funny because he used
to be a blitz blitz blitz, splitz splitz guy. Now
they're more simulated pressures, more four man rushes, sticky match coverage,
but it matching up and doing everything they can make
it very very difficult view to get open. This would
(12:56):
be the test for the Jaguars wideouts. Can they consistently
win They're one on ones against a really good defensive
backfield that is unafraid to lock up and play variations
of man and man on the outside. Yeah, that's gonna
be a challenge.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I think physicality wise, I think Jacksonville's going to match up.
I think they'll be able to match up on both sides.
From that standpoint, Well, that's what they want to do.
That's who they are.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know. They want to talk about being a physical
team and the thing that you're going to see is
they're gonna run the football. They can try and set
up the run, and it's another game for Trevor to
see if he's ready to take that next step. Now
we've been around with five years. We've been talking about
Trevor even before then when we saw him at the opening. Look.
He has always shown flashes of being the guy. But
(13:40):
this is an opportunity on a big stage to show
people that he's ready to kind of walk the walk
into that club. Is one of the top quarterbacks in
the league. Ignore the numbers, trust your eyes. The last
three weeks he's been terrific. Now it's gonna be a
little different against his pass us because they can hit
you up with three different guys coming, and that's going
to that's going to test the offensive line. But if
(14:02):
Trevor is protected, then it comes a pitch and catch game.
And how did he do it? I will say this
if you're looking at this game Washton running backs the
last couple of weeks for the Jaguars, Travistn Toutan is
not playing, but they've been using the running backs to
take advantage of matchups on backers that could be their
outlet against the tight coverage on the outside. Oh, we're
(14:25):
gonna feed the pig and see if we can win
these matchups own backers to create opportunities in space and
first downs. I like that.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And on the defensive side of the ball, would say
for Jacksonvilley to somehow pull this thing off, I would
say the h's this week got to you gotta hold
get Bnex to hold the ball, but then you've got
to hem him in the pocket. So what you don't
want is his ability to get the ball out right
now from in the pocket or his ability to get
outside the pocket by time scramble and get big plays.
You want him to hold the ball, but you got
(14:52):
to hem him in. Man, it's got to be a
little more of a controlled rush this week.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Look, man, let's talk about how good he's been. He's been.
He's just so good. Like he's been so good. I
think he has seven game winning drives or whatever that is,
six or seven game winning drives. He's been terrific pushing
the ball. People talk about, oh, he can't carry it.
Last week they dared him. They took the way to
run a game. Three hundred yard day, three touchdowns. Man,
(15:18):
he had Michael Parson's running all over the place trying
to chase him. And you're right, if he gets outside
the pocket, man, that's when it's scary for opponents. He's
become a really, really good player that people don't talk
about enough in terms of his growth and maturation in
the second year as a quarterback, no doubt. All right,
take quick break, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
We'll not got a couple more of these games, all right,
buckets the rematch. You know this matchup quite well, Green
Bay in Chicago. I don't know if you saw the
post game stuff in the Chicago locker room, but I
think it was DJ Moore. No, no, no, it's to
marcol Jackson, was my app state linebacker who they gave
a game ball to, who's been playing great for him,
and I think he made the comment like he still
(15:58):
had a bad taste in his mouth the Green Bay game.
And so they get a chance to try and get
that division on in a really good spot if they
could somehow knock off the Packers at home.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And they got a wounded Packers team coming into the building,
not only the jines of injury to Michael Parsons, but
Christian Watson having the chest injury. So we don't know
what that looks like. And the Packers have lost so
many pieces along the way, thinking about the loss of
Tucker Craft and just having to deal with so many
different things. You wonder how much is too much for
(16:28):
them to be able to sustain and continue to be
the team they are. Coming off a frustrating loss to
the Broncos. I think it's tough for the Packers. And
if we're honest, man, I know they knocked off the
Bears two weeks ago. Feel like the Bears are just
playing better, Paul, You know, like they are. People will say,
(16:49):
well they want I said, yeah, but you just ayes.
You just look at how the Bears are playing. This
is gonna be personal. It's gonna be a good one.
It's gonna be tough for the Packers to win in
the wind the city. A little bit of a short
week too.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
It's a Saturday game and Chicago to meet their offensive line.
I mentioned it the other day. They've been able to
dent defensive lines. Man, They're getting a movement and it's
been physical. I think this is an offensive line day
for the Bears. Let's get to a couple more. Pittsburgh
had a big one the other night against the ugly,
ugly Miami team, especially offensively, but they have stepped up
(17:21):
and challenge here.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
They've got to go to Detroit. Detroit fighting for their
playoff lives here. Yeah, there's something about Detroit. When I
watched him play against the Rams, I feel like, man,
they can just find their way into the tournament. They
can be a problem for opponents just because of the
explosiveness and they're know how. In terms of navigating the postseason,
I think they found their rhythm offensively. Dan Campbell has
(17:44):
unlocked some pieces. When you see Amamra Saint Brown and
Jameson Williams get loose while they're still having the running game.
That's a lot to handle. And Jerry Golf is playing
really well. It's a tough offense, man, it's a really
difficult offense to deal with. And Dan Campbell is beginning
to find his way as a play called.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I think this ends up being a shootout, and I
think you end up seeing you know, Rogers played pretty well.
I think he has a big game. I think they're
going to be able to make some plays down the
field with DK and company. But I also worry about
the Pittsburgh Corners holding up against this Detroit pass receiving
duo out there. So I think it's a high scoring game.
I don't have a great feel. I would say Detroit
(18:22):
probably stick with them to win this game. But I
think it ends up being a really, really high scoring affair.
I think you'll see good Aaron Rodgerson to playing indoors.
He likes playing in there. I think you'll see a
good version of him in that passing attack man.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Every time you count the Pittsburgh still is out. They
somehow found their way back into the conversation. The performance
they had on Monday night. There's probably one of the
best offensive performances we've seen from them in terms of
the rhythm in the passing game, DK Metcalf and others
getting involved. I just don't know if they can score
enough against Alliance. I always think about Pittsburgh like Man
(18:56):
twenty is like the cap on what they normally can do,
and on Monday they got past that, but it was
so hard for them to do. I'm gonna take the Lions.
I don't really know. I'm gonna take the Lions just
because the offense. I think their offense is just gonna
put the number up that I don't know if to
steal this can match. Yeah, I'm probably lean in that direction. There.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Let's get to just a few more here, Tampa Bay
and Carolina in the battle for a underwhelming division in
the NFL. Here both sitting at seven and seven. It's
wide open for both these teams.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You know, DJ, I feel like my brother matches your
Padres fandom. He's the Panther guy now with his love
of the Panthers, and it's the roller coaster ride. Like
the emojis are good and bad and good and bad,
and so just when they have the division right there
for them to take. They lay an egg and they
don't play well against the Saints. That's it. Whenever they've
(19:49):
had to play up, they played better against. They play
up to the level of competition. I think they'll play
up this week. Bryce Young has been effective. I think
he's gonna try and find t Mac early and often.
They got to get back to running the football because
when they run the football allows them to control the game.
And then defensively they have to limit the big plays
that the Bucks have done. After talk Bowles and passion,
(20:12):
uh post get away, Uh, they have to beerform better.
I'm leaning towards the Panthers. Maybe that's the home home love,
but I'm leaning towards the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
All Right, New England, Baltimore, New England man tough loss.
They blow that big lead against Buffalo. Now you got
to go take on a Baltimore Ravens team who's in
that fight with the with Pittsburgh for the AFC North
title here and that's kind of their pathway. So a
huge game for Baltimore and New England's got all of
a sudden from being in control of this whole thing,
being in a little bit of trouble inside this division.
(20:45):
They dropped this game. Yeah, this is a tough one.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
This gonna be kind of measure of the pit, the Patrick,
the Patriots resilience. Uh, you drop the game to Buffalo.
It's a disappointing loss. So now you feel like you
gave one away that you should have gotten. You take
on a Baltimore team that is fighting for their lives.
The thing about the Baltimore Ravens, I just never know
which person is going to show up, and because of that,
(21:10):
I'm all in on the Patriots. I think they did the
more mature team, did a more consistent team obviously, as
a record indicates, and I still have questions about the
Baltimore Ravens defense. So to me, I think Josh mcgames
and Drake may class success in the passing game and
that allows Tregaan Henderson deliver a big player to win
the run.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I do think New England is the better team, but
I think Baltimore, coming off of last week, maybe a
little bit of a get right game, but defensively had
a really good showing a shutout Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals.
One of the worst games Burrows played by his own admission,
So I think they just every time you try and
count this type of a team out that's got so
much history.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
These guys have.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Been there, done that, it's still all a little new
for New England. I actually think this ends up being
a really really close game, and maybe a little more
low scoring than you might think. So looking forward to
that one huge, huge game with the Ravens and the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Last one Philip Rivers two point.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Zero here against the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Buck look, man, he had the team positioned to do it.
And everything that we talked about that was not related
to the passing game was how the coast we were
to stay in the game the first half DJ they
squatted on the ball, I mean, they were a half
court basketball team, just making the Seahawks play at their tempo.
Philip Rivers' ability to get the team in the right
(22:29):
play it was a bunch of what you said. It
was gonna be a bunch of swings and screens and
f angles and checkdowns and those things. It'd be a
little more difficult now that the Niners have seen maybe
his limitations on tape. I think this gonna be tough
sledding for the Indianapolis Coats.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
When I was growing up buck we didn't have we
had hardescape in the backyard, so we didn't have a
yard a backyard so to speak.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It was just all hard and.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Then we had a little baby lawn in the front
so we play.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Football there as kids. But it was tight.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It was tight, and that's what the Indianapolis Colts are there,
they're playing. It was a three six six coach with
and alcoholm they're playing in my front yard there. It's
just a little postage stamp. We're not going to be
able to get the ball down the field. You know,
you want to take your chances and go out in
the cul de sac in the street. You go ahead,
but you go down that's gonna skin, that's gonna leave
a mark, uh there. You know if you want to
(23:20):
do that is not only half court basketball, man.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's not only that. Is playing with that little parcela
in with a nerf ball. Oh yeah, so you know
I have nerf balls. Don't flop for that's what we're doing.
So we're trying to push you down to the field. But
that thing is not going farther than in the fifteen yards,
like yeah. I mean, that's what we're doing. And we
can dress it up as many ways as we can.
(23:43):
But man, you're playing in a fifteen yard box. How
long can they sustain it? Here's my here's my question, though.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The ultimate move would be you kind of you put
that out there against Seattle on that defense. You know
the challenge is there, and now all you've done is
you're just gonna pull them up and then Philip can
just lob some hanger and aids over the top. Just
just a couple a couple of quick go balls the
way I used to throw a go ball. Buck and
other quarterbacks were in the gun taking a full five.
I was a quick three. I'm gonna get that thing
up early and as high as I can.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well, you know this, and we saw Peyton do this.
It is different playing indoors. I'm being out quick this
and that. People gonna look at that game and they're
gonna talk about Seattle. But what we don't know on TV,
we don't know the win conditions. We don't know what
the weather is fully like in terms of the challenges.
You're right, he might be able to push it more
down the field at home, just because of those cozy confines.
(24:32):
So now let's just we just stretch your little parcel
in out a little bit. We'll put we'll put the
tail behind the nerf ball, so we give it a little,
a little juice. We put it like a little tail
so we can fly a little. That's a great sound.
All right, this is a great slate of games. Man.
I cannot wait looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Uh, if we don't have a chance, So this will
be the last time I'll be on I believe, before
we get to Christmas and the holidays are here. So
I just want to wish chrismas happy holidays everybody out there.
Buck in my presidence is I get to do this
show with you, enjoy it and wish you in yours
all the best, my friend.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Look, man, it's so much fun. I love the holidays.
I love doing this stuff with you, and I love
our people there watch and tune in. So more fun
to come in twenty twenty six. All right, we appreciate you.
We'll see you next time. Right here, find with the
sticks
