And now, move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
What's up everybody?
Welcome to move the sticks on a Monday, DJ, Bucky, Rhett, back with you guys.
Man, that was interesting.
That was an interesting weekend of football, some wild games.
We'll have a chance to break down the college stuff later on in the week,
but it is a Monday.
And I don't even, like a lot of times, I'm like, okay, we are starting here.
Buck, I don't even know where to start today, because someone's craziness took place, right?
I mean, you guys, I don't know where to start. It's crazy.
So I was on a game day highlights and game day final last night,
and it was pretty clear.
We're going to start with the team that scored 10 touchdowns.
So I'm pretty excited that Bucky's going to break down each and every one of those touchdowns for us here on this podcast.
And I think we'll get to the other 15 games tomorrow.
It's so unbelievable that a team can score 70 points in NFL game.
And I've been to high school games, and I can't imagine people scoring 70 points.
Like you almost have to, in a high school game, you have to not try to let someone score like 70 points.
It's really, it has to be either that big of a mismatch, or your team just has to pack it in to give up 10 touchdowns in an NFL game.
While scoring 20 points, three 50 on the ground, Buck.
3 and 50 in the air.
726 total.
I just don't understand, but I mean, I'll say this, if you're Mike McDaniels,
this is the offense that everyone has been afraid of.
I mean, when you look at that tape and you watch this team go up and down the field,
you look at the track stars that they have and keep Monday didn't have Jayden model.
But that's okay, given they have an a chain of just coming there.
And I'll show you that I am also a track star.
And I'll run for 200 yards.
And I'll put it in the paint from anywhere on the field.
And two, don't worry about it.
Two, we can run it, but we still go, let's you get your throws in and let you make sure that you're a fantasy legend.
I mean, this is an unbelievable performance from an offense that we knew they had firepower.
But I'm sure that every defense coordinator league is going to take a look at the tape and be like,
what in the world?
Like, how do you handle that?
And before I didn't want to say I dismissed the dolphins.
I thought their offense was like cute and those things.
But now I'm like, I mean, can you really ride the offense?
Like they're riding it and make a big run.
And Big Fangio is everything to that defense.
You now have a high powered offense with a guy who understands how to play defense.
And now he only has to hold serve.
They're a very dangerous team.
I think and we'll go through all these games.
We'll get there in a minute.
I think they're the best team in the AFC right now based off what they've shown through three games.
Two on the road.
Then they come back and just demolish the Broncos.
I will say one thing and then we'll jump into these.
But Rhett, I don't know if you've ever had just a terrible day at work.
You know, and you call your wife on the way home.
You call, you call Canaan.
You just go, gosh, it's just been a terrible day.
And then you get home and she's made your favorite dinner.
She's got, you've got your favorite show all.
He bowed up and ready to go.
I wonder if Nathaniel Hackett got home last night.
And was just like, man, Zach Wilson.
I mean, we can't move the ball.
This is just, I don't know.
Are we going to survive?
And then he gets home when there's a nice warm plate of cookies, a glass of milk.
And that doesn't look like my any game was just on the TV.
Just wait for him to watch that thing.
And say, hey, we'll pick you up a little bit.
That's that's what I want to see when I get home.
The worst coaching job in the history of sports.
All I know is at least they had a good defense.
Their offense wasn't any good, but the defense or the defense was really good.
Now the defense still isn't any good.
Now the defense stinks.
So that's what I want to say about that one.
Training.
I mean, it's probably probably in the rule book,
why you don't trash other coaches though, just saying.
Probably.
Yeah, yeah.
Football comrades certainly came back to get.
Oh, Sean paid.
I mean, in a major way.
Or you were just setting this up, right?
You were, you're like, hey, look, man.
Yeah, you know, really?
I got no one will get to do this year.
But I didn't do my best to go back to the game logs,
but I don't remember them giving up 70 points last year.
I have to go back and look at that.
But 70 70.
Could have kicked a few goldmitted 73 NFL records.
We're three games in.
And by the way, the questions to Sean Payton on the conference call today
with the media, where did you fire anyone?
Whoa.
Yeah,
you're like, no.
And I wouldn't announce that on a conference call.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's why this week is so bonkers because we've got our rundown
and we haven't even jumped into it here.
I know.
Because it's crazy.
All right.
Let's get started.
Let's go to the games that the buck and I were at.
We'll start with the Chargers Vikings game.
I joke with you guys every week.
I've never called.
I've been doing these games for six years for the Chargers.
I've never called a boring game.
I don't even know what that's like.
What's it like to like have like a three touchdown win or a loss?
I have no clue.
Every game comes down to the very last possession.
It's unbelievable, man.
It's crazy.
But they end up beating the Vikings 28 to 24.
I'll get to some of the highlights.
And then I'll let you guys jump in on the decision making.
Because that was the big buzz in social media.
It was Brandon Staley electing to go for it.
Deep in his own territory late to try and put the game away,
which we'll get to and I'll get your guys opinion on that.
But before that,
Justin Herbert's 4047 for 405.
It was that the air was like, oh, they didn't really run the ball.
This was a classic case of you're going to play zero and you're going to play man.
We're just why run the bone to a wall.
I'm just going to zip it out.
We're going to throw bubbles and and quick screens all day long.
Make you tackle in space.
We'll take those five, six, eight yards.
And then and then now I feel bad for pyromurfie, man.
I'm like, pyromurfie like, hey, dude, you are alone with arguably the best route runner in the NFL and Keenan Allen.
There's other people that can be in the conversation.
He's in the conversation.
And you're going to have two way goes against that dude with no help the whole day.
And Keenan Allen cooked him to the tune of 18 catches and over two bills.
Like he had he had no chance.
I don't know anybody.
Eighteen corners going to hold up out there with no help against that dude is as polished as he is.
And Herbert was just was just kind of dialed in.
So they chucked it all over the place.
The difference to and I saw a stat that got posted.
You know, we'll get to the Cowboys lost in a little bit.
But the difference between Kellin Moore and Mike McCarthy.
Kellin Moore.
I think the Cowboys were number one in red zone last year.
I think they're 27th now.
It's been their Achilles heel.
The Chargers went from way down the bottom of the league to there up in the top 10 now.
His creativity and ability to kind of finish drives in this game was the difference.
The Chargers hold on.
They end up winning this one.
28 to 24.
Last thing.
I'll say I'll kick it over to read on this one.
But the best player on the field defensively in this game was a rookie.
And it was Tully Tully Polotu from from out of SC.
He was awesome.
I think he had four or five pressures.
He had a sack.
He could have he could have had three sacks.
He's one of those ones where he generates the carnage.
And everybody else gets to kind of clean it up.
But he's moving around.
I mean, he has been playing like gangbusters.
He is a really, really good football player.
That's awesome to hear.
I love getting those little rookie reports.
You know, on guys that, you know, maybe not getting a ton of buzz like elsewhere or otherwise.
And you find that they're making an impact on the game.
Here's what I'll say on the coaching decision.
If there was anybody, and I'm going to talk directly into the microphone,
that was surprised that Brandon Staley went for fourth and one from his own 24 there.
You have not been watching the Chargers.
I mean, like that was the most the least unsurprising, the least surprising move from a head coach that day.
Now, you know, you could certainly take some issue with the way that they went about trying to convert that fourth down.
And look, credit to the defense for making it stand up.
You know, amidst some definite anxious moments there.
So I was not surprised that he ended up doing that.
You know, I wouldn't have been surprised if it ended up biting them.
I mean, that's just one of those things.
If you're going to, you're going to live and die with it.
It's like, look, if you're going to hit 16 on blackjack, you're going to hit it all day long.
You don't just pick and choose when you're going to hit it.
You got to go for it, right?
Each time you're going to hit, you know, 12 versus two.
You have to do it every time.
Hey, you don't just pick and choose as long as you're not on an NFL business related trip.
Then you don't go in there because we don't know.
We're just talking generalities here.
We're just talking to interact, talking strategy.
Let me ask you this first and then you can, you can get in on the, on the decision making here.
But to DJ's point about the Vikings, you know, with a ton of cover zero cover cover one in this game.
At what point and how difficult is it for a defensive coordinator to midstream.
Kind of flip the script and look, we talk about adjustments, everybody's making adjustments.
But if you have game planned and if you have, this is the way we want to attack the chargers.
And now all of a sudden, you're going to know how difficult is it to truly in game.
Kind of reverse course that way.
If this is what you've been working on in a week of practice to say, hey, look,
get an Allen's flipping, cooking us over here.
We got to do something different.
So how hard is that?
Well, I mean, it's hard to do it in game.
But I guess it depends on what was the goal of the game going into it.
Like what did Brian floor is really want to take away because I'm looking at the numbers.
And yeah, they had 475 yards, but at the end of the day, I mean, he gave up 28 points.
He gave up a touchdown a quarter.
They were in the game, the entirety of the game.
It was 14 10 and a half time.
They're there.
I'm sitting looking at third down there, five for 11 on third down.
I mean, Justin Herbert had an unbelievable completion rate like 41 to 40.
I mean, that's crazy.
The average 9.1 yards per plate, but they didn't allow them to run.
They forced them to play a one-dimensional attack.
And then from an officer standpoint, they controlled it.
You know, it's tough because statistically, you'd be like, man, you gave up so many yards on the air.
But if you asked them, they had the game the way they wanted it.
They were still right there at the end of the game.
And so we talk about points, not yards.
I can see where Brian Flores is like, the strength of our team is our back end.
I'll put it on our back end to hold up.
And Ken and Alan had a bunch of yards and they did that.
But at the end of the day, they still had the chance to win the game.
Yeah.
No, I think that's a fair point.
I'll add a couple of other things on that though.
If you looked a week before Tennessee, look at the difference in third down with what Rae Bowl and their group did against the Charters versus obviously played a totally different style of game.
Now, the difference also being that Jeffrey Simmons didn't in playing in Minnesota.
So that's that's they don't have they don't have a password or outside of the Neal Hunter.
Like I know that Mark is that important.
Those guys.
He was hundreds of hundreds.
The only one.
And so you don't have, you don't have a way to generate it.
So all of their pressure has to be manufactured.
And so you're trying to quicken the clock.
You're trying to see if you can bait Justin Herbert into that like a turnover.
But look, man, Brian Flores and we know like he comes from New England.
They'll use those snowflake game plans.
Something that is unique and creative and different.
They tried it.
They had the game.
And if not for Kurt Cousins throwing up.
Look at an untimely.
Try to jam one in.
Yeah.
They clock it.
They go there.
If they win the game.
Who's to say that you know, celebrate.
No, that was two.
Two goal line stands though at the end of the game.
The Charters had two of them.
And the on the Viking side of things.
Let me give you some good news on the Viking side of things.
First of all,
they're offensive line is beat up.
And they're not great to begin with.
In my opinion,
I'll say Cousins hung in there.
Cousins got these not kicked out of him in this game between Bosa and Tui Polotu.
Mack was back there.
Sebastian Joseph.
They was hitting him all game long.
He got he got peppered in there.
And I left the stadium thinking another thing too.
Jordan Addison guys, you know,
we all liked him coming out.
He is going to be very good.
Like it's it's going to be.
He's going to be.
They're going to have thousand yard receivers every year.
It's going to be JJ doing his thing.
And he's Jefferson was unbelievable.
He was a yard shy.
He was 149.
He goes 150.
You'd have been the only receiver in NFL history to go 150 plus in each of the first three games of the season.
He missed it by one yard.
So he was right there.
He was awesome.
But Addison is smooth and fluid.
His ability to get in and out.
Cousins, trust him.
Buck, he's toe tap on the silent.
Sometimes you watch these guys.
He looks like he's been playing this for 10 years.
There is no assembly.
Another.
Another example of route runners being coveted at a premium.
You think about Kevin O'Connell and what they wanted.
They wanted someone that could compliment Justin Jefferson.
They wanted to have interchangeable wire receivers that could win their individual battles or isolation routes and do all the creative stuff on the route tree to be able to create these big plays.
But Addison can do that.
And for me, I think it has to change the way that we evaluate wire receivers.
We can put the clock, the stopwatches to bid.
It's about your ability to stop, start, get open, create all the stuff.
And we need to see you at the combine.
And at your pro day, really run routes to get open.
Because the athleticism is great.
But man, the guys that are able to do it with tactics and technique.
They have an opportunity to do it in a major way.
How about my dude Jake Bobo, by the way?
We'll get into that.
We're hitting on that game, but it kind of fits that bill too, you know?
We'll get bonus.
We'll get some bonus stuff.
But I'm going to transition Buck to his easy here because we talked about this a few weeks ago.
I feel like I love it when we get a chance to be a little bit ahead of the curve.
Do you remember when we talked about the little dudes and we're like,
look, Calvin Austin's had a good camp.
Tank Dell's had a good camp.
Jordan Addison's had a good camp.
Like all of a sudden, two to at well had been making plays like we're like,
we've been kind of, we've been kind of like,
you too little, you're too little.
It's too small.
It's like, hey, Buck, we get to tank Dell in the game.
Yeah, but he had a phenomenal game and scored another one for the little dudes.
Yeah, scored another one for the little dudes.
But this game to me, DJ, like, is one thing to go through your pre draft stuff
and we talk about it.
And I feel like maybe sometimes you spend so much time talking about it
that maybe you lose a little bit of your natural feel for the prospect
because we're on TV.
We're going back and forth.
We're trying to create different storylines and different angles.
But I'm going to say this.
CJ Stroud is as good as we've talked about.
He is as advertised.
And I know during the run up to the draft, there was a lot of conversation
about other stuff that kind of clouded.
His evaluation.
RIP, the S2, by the way.
Fought the prayers for the S2 test.
Yeah, DJ, like all this stuff clouded.
I'm telling you when I'm watching him, this dude looks like a teen year vet in the pocket.
They have four offensive linemen missing.
The jaguars are trying to heat him up and he never flinches.
He only got hit four times.
But he is delivering dime after dime after dime.
And we talked about in the run up to the draft about him being maybe the most natural passer and thrower.
It is effortless to the point where when you talk to the coaches for the jaguars about, they're like, man, this dude is.
I mean, he is legit.
Like we better get him now because in a couple of years, he is going to own it in terms of like how he gets it.
I mean, this dude is so good.
And at the end of the day, you talk about Tankdale.
Tankdale hits them.
Look, the game, it's like a ten point game.
And this is a zero hit.
It's third and five and they bring all the pressure.
Tankdale escapes.
And CJ calmly, cool lead.
Histylea.
I mean, perfect pass.
Oh boy.
And he just does it over and over again.
And afterwards, Domingo reminds and everyone's talking about, oh, we got the right quarterback for us.
The players believe in Bremen Jordan, their team.
We talked about franchise quarterbacks giving guys hope.
He's that guy.
I mean, look, I'm looking.
He three passers have only started their career with like 900 passing yards.
He's that he's one of three to do it.
DJ, he has no interceptions.
We talk about ball security.
He doesn't turn the ball over for a young guy to play behind a, a hodgepodge of mess to not turn it over.
So everything.
He's a really good player.
Can I, can I add one thing on strut here that I didn't write jump in here?
By the way, this is the score.
If you don't know 37 to 17, the Texans got all over the jacks.
This is one thing in scouting.
I think this is a good lesson in scouting.
Every, every evaluation is an individual evaluation.
We talk about in the past.
Don't scout the helmet.
In other words, like don't just give a guy grade because he's at a big school versus punishing a guy who's at a small school.
But also don't, don't grade a current player on the sins of a pass player at the same position.
They're all different.
They're all unique.
You can't say that Ohio State quarterbacks lump them up together and throw them in a barrel.
He is so different than the other guys.
He's different than Dwayne Hasings was coming out.
He's different than Justin Fields was coming out.
And I'll pull up the reports out curious.
I want to go back and look at it.
Stroud pure natural throw or outstanding production has desired arm size arm decision making for the position decision making a big point in there.
The dynamic athlete and set up but he always throws off a firm strong platform smooth delivery throws a beautiful tight ball.
He can layer the ball over the linebackers and under safeties puts a nice loft on deep balls making life easy on pass catchers.
His issues arise when he has to move and reset and deliver the ball and this causes his accuracy to suffer.
The impressive college football playoff performance against Georgia is a notable exception in this department.
He's a build up speed runner where lanes open up from to take off.
Overall stroud is definitely more of a shooter than a score a bucky phrase.
He will have success provided the pieces are in place in front of him and on the perimeter and I mean just it was the most natural throwing session at the common.
I remember saying that specifically said I've never seen a more natural throwing such I've seen guys throw harder.
I've seen guys throw farther.
I've seen guys make more throws on the move.
This was just this ball requires this velocity in pace.
He puts that velocity in pace on the ball.
It requires this amount of loft.
He puts that amount of loft on it.
Bucky's pure.
He is a pure, pure thrower man.
So you know DJ when you call in the game you get there early so you get a chance to see those guys go through so doing warmups like he goes that pre warmup which is him in the quarterback coach and whatever.
And DJ the way that he throws and warms is the same way that he throws in the game.
It is all their bodies around but like it doesn't change motion doesn't change ball placement none of that stuff changes and.
He plays with like I would say a calmness to his game that quiet never is real quiet never never speeds up never does anything whatever and I'm jaded because having known him since he was 16 17.
He's the same exact guy he was the same player when he came through with lead 11 he's the same exact guy now he's just a little bigger but he has a maturity about him where you can just feel that the confidence is coming.
And when they actually put real wide receivers around I mean like high in.
It's going to be a problem I mean it's really going to be a problem.
You guys want me to say something I was just mesmerized watching this the first quarter second and seven deep all the tank they'll hear.
I've watched it about.
I was hoping you weren't just reading up on like what you know the Taylor Swift Kelsey thing I don't know what I watched it about 36 times since you guys were talking and.
It's like a video game I'm watching the end zone copy like looking at Stroud right so from that end zone and.
The best part about this is the camera loses the ball.
Like you can't see the ball but what you can do is you can follow the trajectory of it from the shadow on the turf nice and it's incredible to watch this like the way it I mean the natural release is awesome by the way Jaguar is getting zero pressure.
But CJ's back there I mean I mean perfect release right and and then the thing just goes it like it curves right like perfectly around the hash and then like comes back right into the arms of tank Dell with a closing safety that it just beats I mean it's just it's like a thing of beauty.
I mean I can say I consider watching another 36 times like it's and there was more of them like that right I mean I have the deep deep throw actual touchdown later in the game to tank Dell.
There's a lot to like here about this young quarterback in Houston he's only getting better.
Can I just add one more thing here and buck just put a button on it with this but we'll get through the rest of these games here you know these big eight games we have but.
I was thinking okay Trevor man he doesn't look like Trevor's playing great we know Zach Wilson has been terrible Justin Fields is struggling Tray Lance has already been traded.
You know Mac Jones has been okay but that that that was a draft that we were talking about maybe being one of the best quarterback drafts we had seen going back a long time man it's not going well for that group right now.
I'm not going well and you know speaking directly about like Trevor Lawrence like there's something that's just off and you know there's a lot of conversation this week about Justin Fields and kind of offense that he needs to be in and those things and I'm looking at the offense each and every week that Jacksonville is put around.
Trevor Lawrence it's all the stuff that he did at Clemson their bubble screens the shella crosses his things where he has I think the hardest thing to do in our seat as evaluators is to be able to project how someone can play in something differently.
You know because you can have the arm telling you can have the pedigree the intelligence to instincts and those things but sometimes it still doesn't come together because that look the NFL is fast it's a fast league things happen you got to be able to anticipate the time and touch and all that and so it's just.
You know we'll see he's been good but you want more because when you're the number one overall pick the expectation isn't good it's great and so that's where he's at right now.
All right let me take you guys to the Packers Saints game at Lambo Field and for about three quarters you were like all right Saints are going to roll home here with a big road victory 17 nothing right I was falling the score when I the game I was at oh that one's over 17 nothing Derek car goes down.
Now or narrowly you'd be like all right you know that was that was the turning point there and it might have been but James Winston actually came in and made some big throws in this game and the Saints actually had a chance to win it with a fair go ahead or the fuel go at the end.
And they couldn't get it done but this game is about Jordan love this fourth quarter was about Jordan love who in this game throws his first career touchdown pass at Lambo Field and in doing so leads the biggest fourth quarter comeback at Lambo Field and Packers history all the way back from 17 down and we'll go back to the last two drives here because that's what I was most interested of and when his best was required he gave his best.
Fourth quarter comeback here the big plays from love on the first touchdown drive third and 10 down inside the red zone 12 yard throw to Jane Reed middle of the field versus drop eight coverage I mean like he's patient he waits and bam as soon as read uncovers ball right on him they're in business and then they they have trouble getting into the getting over the goal line here and then it's down to fourth and one and like this could be the game here and love takes it himself juke's a defender at the goal line he's into the in zone first career rushing touchdown.
Let's go to the next drive he's got a scramble for 24 yards tip towing down the left sideline that gets the drive rolling and then and when you watch the tape of this play here this jaden Reed explosive play that went for 30 yards you watch the tape you see him manipulate the big on one high safety so he manipulates that post safety for the Saints with his eyes you can see the safety dark to the right or to the to the left of the offense and then beautifully love comes to the end.
Right back throws a dime to read whose outstretch makes a perfect catch by the way a drop a couple in this game and he won the only one for love earlier and I just you know it was fantastic so 30 yards there then on third and three he's got the back shoulder fade ball the Romeo dobs that's essentially the game winner.
There's just there was so much there in those last two drives where you're like all right packers are going to be a good hands buck.
Yeah the packers are going to be a good hands and I think we've talked about this under DJ and I talk I'm sure red we've also mentioned it I feel like in a way and this is going to sound crazy but I want to make sure I give it this proper context I feel like and Rodgers departure was addition by subtraction for the team meaning that once you remove the crutch of having to four time MVP it was going to force Matt the floor in this team to play differently and play in a style that I believe is better for them when it comes to the post season a little more complimentary football a little more reliant.
So on the running game a quarterback that is now playing within the system as opposed to him being the system and in time because they drafted well over years I feel like this would be a team that plays much better than everyone expects.
We're kind of seeing some of that we are also seeing something that we never what we talk about but it never happens when the young quarterback sits down and has an opportunity to acclimate to the lead sometimes it is for the betterment of their development and we're seeing that we're doing love because he didn't have to rush on to the field despite what we all did when we tried to make those early predictions on whether you could play or not the patients that they exhibited in terms of waiting before you got on the field.
It's being rewarded because now he has a bit of fuel for the game.
DJ just real quick before we get this back to you Packers without David Bakhtiari Elton Jenkins Christian Watson is yet to play this year.
No Aaron Jones in this game and no Jair Alexander on the defensive side of the wall and they find a way to win.
I mean that's five top dudes on your team right there.
It's impressive and the other thing I would just add that it's the bucket used I think the word rare to me that the the cool thing for Jordan love is he's a first year starter.
But he's not a first year player.
He's got he's got a lot of his skill players are younger than he is who are guys that have he's got all the receivers.
So he's actually he's already established himself he can come in and be a leader as a first time starter because he's known everybody in the organization in the building for several years.
He's been there longer than all the guys he's playing with on the perimeter.
So he's already got credibility and leadership established where most guys that's all a big storm swirl around at once.
I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing now I'm trying to establish myself as a leader and trying to learn like no he's already got a chance to have that foundation laid.
And now he can not only be a you know a first year starter but a first year starter with some you know with some leadership qualities there.
It's it's worked out beautifully for Brian Guderkinson the Green Bay Packers how this whole thing has come together.
So a big win for them.
Yeah.
The Packers keep rolling they win 18 to 17 over the Saints are we're going to take quick break.
We come back Titans Browns what what we saw on that one including one of the best defensive performances we've seen this year.
We'll get to that right after this.

Till then heed the call.
All right guys, let's jump into this one.
This was a thrashing.
This was not a good matchup for the Tennessee Titans who have an offensive line that has holes and has issues and they ran up against really in my opinion the most talented defensive player in the NFL.
TJ what you can make cases is on track right now with my comparisons in the discussion as well.
Both those guys are playing great.
Nobody as a rusher is as skilled has everything at their disposal like Miles Garrett does and that was on display in this game.
They had no answer for him.
He was he was just completely dominant three and a half sacks forced a fumble five quarterback hits.
I went back and watched it.
You know, the play is circulating on the internet.
You're seen over with him moving side and the tight ends are falling in which is kind of hilarious.
But his his speed to power is unlike anything that I've seen just in terms of how dynamic and explosive he is.
I posted a couple places first two three steps up the field and when he transitions speed to power.
It's a wrap man like you are on roller skates.
Nobody's anchoring that he just throws tackles poor dealer.
I felt bad for Andre dealer.
That's a rough one for him trying to stop that charge.
It's not going to happen.
But Jim Schwartz has this defense rolling.
And Jim Schwartz, you know, I think he had been consulting with the Titans after he left the Eagles as well.
So I'm sure he knew he knew what the issues were there and he was able to attack them very, very specifically.
But two takeaways from the game.
That one and Buck, I'll get it to you after this.
But you can go either way.
Anyway, you want.
But that was the first one was Miles Garrett.
Then I was like, you know what?
The shot Watson.
Gosh, I look at the box score.
So then I'm like, I want to watch the game and see what I just go.
So as I'm watching it, I'm sitting here thinking, OK, this he's like two different players.
When, when what we've said in the past is, I don't know how great this offense fits him.
So I'm like, you know, I'm watching it and I'm charting.
And I'm like, you know, I need to go to PFF afterwards and see what these numbers are because this is what stands out to me is he is infinitely more comfortable in the gun.
No shot gun.
I mean, no, no play action.
He's different.
A lot of quarterbacks prefer the play action.
It simplifies looks.
It gives him, it gives him more space and depth.
He is always been more comfortable in a catch rock and throw gun attacks.
What he did in college.
It's what he did in Houston.
Under center play action doesn't, it's not him.
That's not who he is.
Not what he does best.
So I'm watching.
I'm like, OK, let me go pull up these numbers.
And you can do it pretty easy here.
So when they were on play action and it wasn't bad.
But on play action, he was 9 of 15.
OK, he had a touchdown 9 of 15 for 112 yards.
But he was, he took three sacks there.
So 9 of 15 took three sacks.
112 yards and a touchdown.
Now let's go to non play action, which again, most quarterbacks like play action.
On non play action, he was 18 for 22 with a drop included in that.
Should have been 19 for 22 for 177 yards.
He had a touchdown.
No picks.
No sacks.
Like that is.
At some point in time, they got to put it together.
I'm like, OK, I know what we've done.
I know if I'm Kevin Stephanski, what I'm comfortable with.
That's not him.
He is not a play action quarterback.
He's not an under center quarterback.
Put that dude in the gun.
And as Buck, as you like to say, it is spread and shred.
That's who the Sean Watson is.
So if you go back and we talk about the quarterback.
That's how he's played his entire life.
He didn't play under center in Clemson.
When you look at the best of the Sean Watson going back to Clemson,
it was shotgun, ball out, RPOs, quick game,
quick rhythm, thrower, let him go to work.
When you go and you think about what they did in Houston with him,
it was shotgun, spread it out.
Give me the matchups.
I figured out.
DJ, that's him.
And what you're saying.
And it's a great observation by you.
He's a much different player when he's under center than when he's
in the gun and doing what he's always done.
Will Kevin Stephanski and that crew be able to say, hey, guys,
I know our playbook is built around these things.
But the player does this stuff will.
And it's the hardest thing for any coach to admit.
Man, I love all this stuff.
I spent all season drawing up all my stuff.
But my players do something different.
No, they play better doing something.
You got to meet him where he's at because they're going to need him to play at his best
and playing at his best is in the gun.
It's not it's not even and it's not even like play just play action under center
book.
And he's in the gun.
If he's in they use some pistol they use him in the gun ride play action pistol play.
He's not he's not comfortable in any of it.
He's just better.
Just put him in the side saddle go empty whatever you got to do.
Just let him take a three step from the gun ret and let him pick and stick there.
And look, it's it's about time that they start to figure out right what he wants,
what he does well.
I mean, like it's, you know, I know they haven't played a full season yet,
but he's been around now for a while.
Like he hope they can build on this.
Meanwhile for the Titans.
I mean, I asked us to us to you DJ and then we can we can move past this game,
but is there a team with a smaller margin for error offensively or really
team wide than the Tennessee Titans?
Like if they can't dominate on the ground with the king with Derek Henry,
it's over.
Like they just they don't have those are the two players.
TyJ Spheres and Derek Henry.
And it just feels like, you know, at some point, are we like,
OK, this the way we are currently constructed is not going to allow us to find
six, sustained success much longer.
Like I think after this year, you know, I'm going to be looking at some,
you know, some pretty significant roster changes.
Well, I think Jim Schwartz watched that tape against the Chargers too and realized,
look, they hit two home run balls on the Chargers,
which Chargers just got caught.
And Jim Schwartz like, that ain't happening.
You got to have to march the ball against us.
And this is not going to happen.
You're not going to give that up at three points.
So and the Cleveland Browns look that that's a great,
we talk about scheme and player.
I don't know there's a better fit.
You know, when you look at Jim Schwartz with the personality has,
it's, it's a really, really good fit there.
Buck, we teased this game at the top.
We talked about a top.
We couldn't avoid it.
But we can go a little deeper if you'd like here on the dolphins,
a 70 bird or they put on the Broncos.
What do you got for us?
No, this is what everyone wanted to see from this offense.
Remind me getting sick over.
So what we wanted and what we thought we were getting for the
Miami dolphins, when they hired him again,
we thought we were getting the cow's chin and hand running game.
Okay.
So now the first year we saw a spread attack that was built around
two and Tyree Keele and the fast guys outside.
So you have, we just talked about building your passing aim
around what the quarterback does well.
So mind me, Dennis did a great job of taking,
hey, two, it does a lot of quick rhythm shows.
I'm being like a blackjack dealer under Vegas casino.
That's what he does.
He can get it out or whatever.
So now they've been able to take that pass attack and then begin
to put some of the Shanahan running game with it.
And when it comes together, like it came together on Sunday,
it gets to Broncos.
It is a problem because both things present different challenges
to the defense and the defensive coordinator.
Obviously, Vance Joseph and the Broncos couldn't stop any of it.
But it is a difficult set of concepts.
And things to defend.
And when the dolphins have it rolling,
good luck because to stop the running game requires you to play
a certain weight on defense.
You may have to play more man-to-man to stuff the box.
But you play man-to-man against that track team that they have outside.
You're inviting them to bust a clock on you in the passing game.
I'm waiting for the team to correct the code on how to defend this team.
But right now, 2023, I don't know if this is a better offense
than we've seen in the Miami Dolphins.
I mean, I think we were always kind of waiting.
Like, all right, we know they've got the speed, right?
We know that Tyreeke and Jalen, when he's healthy,
that they can roll and they can push the ball down the field.
They can run those deep overs.
I think Tyreeke was in the scouting report for the Broncos this week,
although they sure didn't leave him uncovered on that first drive.
And obviously, that was a bust.
And so they got issues there.
But I felt like we were always kind of waiting for what we knew
was possible with a Mike McDaniel lead run game plan.
And man, I don't know that you will ever see.
And this is the first time we've ever seen it.
350 plus passing, 350 plus rushing in NFL history.
Not like they're not going to get that every week.
But if you're talking this team's capable of 200 on the ground
and 250 in the air every week, what do you take away, DJ?
Well, I was just looking up some numbers because I was curious on this.
And I can swing it back to Buck quickly on this one.
But you know, comparisons often we look at body types first.
And that's the comparison that you make.
You can have a similar game in a different body.
And just just off of this.
I'm just taking obviously this the Tyreeke ones deeper,
but we'll get to the A chain one here in a second.
But if you look at it, the closest thing to Tyreeke,
that we've seen in the NFL, I mean, is Randy Moss.
I mean, they're totally different body types.
But Randy Moss played at a different speed and Buck you saw him.
I mean, he was just different.
He looked different than everybody else.
Do you play?
You watch the games every week.
He's different.
He's faster than everybody.
And then you look at that same Viking team.
You remember in the back field, they had Robert Smith.
Now Robert Smith and A chain and Devon A chain have totally different bodies.
But I'm like, in some weird way, Robert Smith was a track star at Ohio State.
I believe it was where he went to school.
So you've got he was a track star running back and the fastest receiver in the NFL.
In some ways, this kind of this looks a little bit like the old like Minnesota Viking.
That offense that took the league over with Brian Billick is the offensive coordinator back on those teams.
Buck.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying about that.
Raheem Moster also has a very accomplished like track background.
So you just talking about the speed that they have and how they can attack it.
But your A chain gives them a different dimensions.
One of the things, you know, DJ, when we were doing the evaluation.
And I'm looking at the running backs.
And so you look at all the other guys.
Look at the X-Roman A. You seem quiet.
And he's just hammering the way they brought it from UAV.
And then I was like, I was like, OK, then put the text in.
And he's like, whoa, all over the all over the place.
And it's whatever.
And then you realize like, oh, he's liked them.
And the dolphins have found a way to put him on the field and allow him to be an effective weapon.
And despite his size, deficiencies, and it's a problem, just the speed overall.
And we've said it.
The number one thing that you have to have, like we can talk about size or whatever.
But you want a fast team because fast teams create big plays.
They create turnovers on defense because the speed is everything.
And the Miami dolphins have assembled a world-class track team.
And because of that, they wanted teams to be feared.
Can I ask you one question?
I'll go to red on this one.
You put the for sale sign up in the yard.
If you're Denver, do you say, hey, you know, Simmons, maybe, maybe a certain, just say, hey, we got to reboot this thing.
I wouldn't do certain.
He's a building block.
Like you got to have something, right?
You can hang your hat on.
But I feel like at some point here, you know, you'll start to look at those receivers, right?
Judy Sutton, you know, they already pushed that for sale sign up.
They didn't get any nibbles.
I'm talking about real assets.
I'm talking about real dudes and say, we are going to take this down to these studs.
Yeah, that's funny.
Did you hear Sean Payton's comments about trying to win the off season and all the other stuff like they had a team that was trying to win the off season.
And they spent so much time worrying about that that they didn't necessarily build the team.
I mean, he definitely is firing all shots.
I mean, he kind of threw the management team and everybody under the bus about the construction of the squad.
But they're not a good squad right now.
And we can put it all over us for a minute.
But it's beyond that.
You get 70 points and you play the way that they play.
It's more than just Russell Wilson.
Why don't you reunite?
Why don't you have Joe call Sean and see if we can reunite hack it with with Russell Wilson again.
See if that'll work.
Have like 85 have like 85 what like 90 million dollars on a quarterback room.
There we go.
Well, anyway, I wouldn't I'm out of who the player would be.
I don't know who it would be, but I could see.
Yeah, I mean, run the end of the bottom.
Yeah.
I think you're on the right track, though.
Yeah. All right. Let's get to the next one here.
Rhett, are you up here? What do we got?
Yeah. We talking bears chiefs now.
Yeah.
Because this.
All right.
If you if you do one Taylor Swift pun, I'm gonna kick you off the show.
So just no, that's not allowed DJ.
I I had planned to not mention the chiefs.
Okay.
Not at all.
Because like they did they did what they do.
They beat up on teams are supposed to beat up on their far better personnel wise scheme wise coaching staff wise than the bears right now.
And they showed it.
And they proved it.
So let's dig in on the disaster that is the bears offense here for a second.
So I just kind of went in and wanted to see what with this thing looked like and watch the first drop back from Justin Fields.
He's in his own end zone, which you know isn't a great start.
But he actually makes a really he makes a really good play like he gets out of some trouble like he is scrambling for his life out to the right makes it a pinpoint throw.
And they get like a 1012 yard game, get and get some breathing room.
And I watched the second play in the right guard gets absolutely destroyed.
And fields, you know, is in trouble like from the jump.
And it wasn't even Chris Jones right.
And so then the third play KC has to deal.
They have they have four guys ready to tackle what essentially is a two man route combo.
Both guys going vertical down the field.
Nobody open.
Nobody open fields throws and DJ more direction, but they got no chance at it's essentially a throw away.
And he's getting pressure, by the way, because he's holding it waiting waiting nobody's there.
All right, next play he gets good, this is all like the first quarter here.
And I was like, all right, please don't do too much more.
This is painful.
I know, but I'm just telling you gets good, gets good protection.
Another two man deeper route combo.
Again, no shot.
Like they keep challenging a deep down the field with two guys.
And there's nobody in the middle of the field for high percentage completions.
I mean, like the third and sixth, third and seven.
And they've got these deep routes well covered.
There's nobody challenging the sticks.
Like nobody.
They're sending a little delay out to the flat like at the end, but in the field just sitting there.
He's a sitting duck.
And it's just like a microcosm of that, you know, 10 to 12 play sequence sequence that I'm talking about.
Like a microcosm of what we're talking about here, like for the whole game.
I don't know, part of it's on just like everybody takes a piece of the blame here.
I think is the ultimate conclusion.
It's such a crazy thing to watch.
I mean, I understand his challenges and those things, but just a level of ineptitude from this offense is beyond belief.
From personnel to scheming to just the execution of quarterback and others.
It's crazy.
And to come off the week that I had when everyone is talking all the conversation and.
That was bad.
That was a bad.
That was a bad.
That's a bad week for them.
And that's not the opponent you want to face.
Come on.
No, really bad week.
Yeah.
Usually we find refuge in between the white lines.
No, and no, there's white line turn.
Yeah, they got and they got beat to sleeping.
I don't know where it goes.
They lost 13 in a row for the first time in franchise history.
They don't have any confidence as a team.
If you're mad, if it was I mean, I don't know even know where you start.
You know, like trying to figure out how to how to pick up the pieces on this team on the offense on the quarterback.
Man, that's a tough one.
It's a tough one.
The weird thing is like, yeah, if you wanted to make it change, like where are you going?
Offensively.
Like if you're saying like it's not working with Luke Getzi, you know, like, all right.
Now what?
You know, I feel like it's taking this long to get to this point.
You know, where you're like, you've been trying to find the right to give him some time to get used to each other to figure things out a little bit.
I don't know.
I don't know that they there's an easy solution here.
I don't think that solution comes so the to Warren Detroit for the draft.
That's when that solution comes.
Yeah.
We'll see, you know, we'll see who always who always left there.
But that's this current mix is not good.
I can't even spend any more time on this because this is just like it's painful there.
And there's a reason why the the Jets Patriots is not.
I don't know what DJ.
I don't think they can shake it off.
You know, I just don't think they can.
So bad.
That's so bad.
I thought you're.
I thought you're going to go somewhere else.
I thought, you know, if I just love to see him just get to 17, you know, can they just.
Oh, yes.
All right.
That's why I said no.
I didn't want to go down that road.
But that's also why page is so for those that are listening to going.
Is he going to break down Patriots Jets?
No, because I didn't want to subject myself to having to watch that.
I didn't see the game.
I was at another game this morning.
I have so much time.
There's games.
I wanted to study.
There's things I'm curious about.
Out of respect for the game.
I can't.
I can't do that.
I didn't want.
I just didn't want to spend my Monday morning watching that.
I just wanted to do it.
All right.
The Sunday nighter.
Steelers beat the Raiders 23 to 18.
Rhett, I'll let you get back on the decision here because we've been.
And I think we have the numbers, the odds.
You can read those off here in just a minute.
Yeah.
The annuals going for it late, which was very curious to say the least.
I'll just say this.
A couple of things.
Yep.
Can he pick it?
I thought he played well.
I thought he trusted his eyes.
I thought he threw the ball well.
I thought it made sense.
What they were doing.
They mixed in some screens.
They took shots down the field.
He just looked like it was.
I don't want to say screw it, but it was just kind of.
He was just like, you know what?
Just I'm just going to play.
I'm just going to sit back here.
I'm going to hit my back foot.
I'm going to trust it.
And I'm going to let it rip.
There was no hesitancy.
I thought there was a little.
He was a little unsure early in the season in those first couple games.
It just wasn't playing with confidence.
And I thought it was just kind of a screw-it-type game.
He was like, you know, I'm going to take my shots wherever they are.
I'm going to use my legs and create what he did, which I love to see.
Because he's really athletic when he gets on the move.
Yeah.
I just thought he did a really.
I thought he did a really nice job with their defense.
If he plays just that, that's the bar.
He plays at that level.
They'll be a playoff team because the defense is so good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he used his athleticism a little bit too on a number of plays.
Yeah.
It kind of got out of the pocket and showcased that he can, you know,
actually makes the moves.
The throw down field to Calvin Austin was awesome.
Like that was a heck of a way to start the game, right?
On that deep shot.
It gave for the little guys.
Yeah.
There it is.
All right.
So this is courtesy of our buddy Bill Smith, who does a great job
with all the analytics and research for us.
And you put this in here on this email from Bill who was talking about
the win probability percentages based on the decision making
from Josh McDaniel.
So let me just run through this this first part to set the stage here.
They had the ball at the 315 mark of the fourth quarter down
eight, right?
So one score game needed to touch down two point conversion.
They got a fourth and five from the Pittsburgh 29.
They decide to opt for a Daniel Carlson fugal at that point,
which they kicked and it was good.
And I was like, you know, what at that point?
All right, I get it.
There's 315 left.
Like even if you don't get the stop on, you know, they get a first
down.
You're still OK.
You have all three time outs of the two minute warning.
I understand.
I kind of understood it at that point, right?
Then they actually get, you know, some good fortune.
And there's a penalty call, leverage call on DeMarvin Leal.
And so they actually get a personal foul 15 yards moving the ball
down the field.
They take the three off the board.
And they're trying to go get the touchdown.
Well, then a whole other minute comes off the clock and find
themselves in another fourth and four situation.
This time from the Pittsburgh eight.
And they still opt to kick the field goal on fourth down.
And so that part of it, like the second time doing it.
I was like, OK, this, this feels like this might come back to
bite them.
So here's what the win probability did.
Essentially, Josh McDaniel's lost 5.4% of win probability by
deciding to kick the field goal on fourth and four of a 225 to go.
If the win probability with the field goal was just 8.5%.
If they would have gone for it, the win probability was almost 14%.
If successful on the fourth down, the win probability is 26%.
If unsuccessful 3.5.
But the conversion probability was 45%.
Yeah.
That's the part that he was not with the math on that one.
Yeah.
And by the way, Jimmy Groplow was under constant duress in this game.
Well, it's your main.
The little nor is not.
He's that's not a great matchup with TJ.
What let's just let's just be.
I'll be nice about it.
I'll leave it at that buck.
No, and if for the stillers, it's just another way that they find
a way to win ugly.
And they just stack enough wins until they find their stride.
It's another ugly win.
Defensive kind of defense kind of led the way.
You write about Kenny Picket being able to just kind of find enough plays on offense
in the passing end to kind of keep them going.
But Mike Talman typically finds it out, figures it out.
And as long as they continue to win these games in whatever fashion that they can win him in the first half of the year,
we know there can be a much better team down the stretch, boring any injuries.
And so they go there to him once in the top of the AFC North with Baltimore.
All right.
Last last game will jump into here.
There may be a couple of nuggets here at the end.
But I want to start before I bucky jumps on this game.
Look, I try to live my life with proper morals and integrity.
And when I screw up, I'll tell you I screwed up.
I've done it a million times on players.
I've screwed up on.
But I thought this was a slam dunk foregone conclusion that the Arizona Cardinals
would have the first pick in the draft.
They're going to be the worst team in the league.
And all they've done is be competitive.
And then go out and knock off what had been the most dominant team in the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys.
And did it pretty convincing fashion.
So Jonathan Ganon, please accept my apology.
Monty Austin Ford is a good buddy.
Please accept my apology.
You have put a team on the field that is competing their rear ends off.
And there's a fire in the gut.
The fire is in the gut.
To me, so that buck, you can go in on this game, whatever way you want to go.
But I just wanted to issue a formal apology and say, I was wrong.
You guys have put a competitive product on the field.
And it's more than it's been a good product through the first three weeks.
Yeah, good product.
Josh Dops, how about that?
Josh Dops gets his first win of his career as a quarterback seven years into the league.
He finally gets it done.
There's some things that I don't even know if we saw him do much at University of Tennessee.
And zone reeds getting outside playing with a lot of emotion and firepower.
But this is a team that is kind of scrappy.
I didn't expect them to be scrappy.
And sometimes we can get bogged down by the, I would say awkward presser,
the awkward initial press conference or the awkward behind the scene and stuff that we saw on Jonathan Ganon.
But whatever it is that they're selling in the building is working.
Team play is hard.
Team is competitive.
They were able to get a dub against,
I mean, to get a dub against the Cowboys had been crushing people.
I mean, they crushed the Giants.
They crushed the Jets.
And so they figured out they're playing just well enough on offense, not messing it up.
And in defense, they were able to kind of get it done against the Cowboys team.
This should have been able to just go up and down the field at will.
Yeah.
I mean, Ibit.
Just kind of shocked, you know, watching the whole thing unfold.
And I guess we, you know, maybe the way they played the Giants last week.
And maybe we shouldn't be.
But, um, I think that this team will definitely, they may not win a ton of games this year,
but they're going to give some people trouble is probably the best way that I can.
They're not laying down for anybody.
And Cowboys continue to have issues as we mentioned a little bit earlier in the red zone.
That has been a bug, but it will continue to be an issue for them.
They've got to get that result and get that fixed.
I would also say, you know, one of the, one of the storylines that maybe we didn't pay attention to in this one is that Jonathan Ganon has been in Philadelphia.
He's very familiar with that.
He's very familiar with their personnel.
Yeah.
And maybe that played a part in here as they were able to get a big win.
All right.
Through some of these other games real quick.
I'll just run through them.
If there's anything else you guys want to add, Patriots Jets, as I mentioned, it's Zach Wilson.
It's not working.
It's there's no, nothing else needs to be said.
It's like to me in high school.
You're failing Spanish to and you drop the course so you can pick up a teacher's assistant class.
And two weeks later, they throw you back in Spanish to you like,
I don't want to be in here.
I already failed this.
I dropped this class.
What are you doing?
Let me just, let me just help this teacher.
Great.
Some papers over here.
Like, what do I don't want to do this?
But they've got to figure something out there.
The bills and the commanders with that was butt kicking bills.
37 or three.
All is right.
Buffalo right now.
Bill's defense.
That's, I think it's for real.
And you know what?
And they lost remain Edmonds and free agency.
But that linebacker core might be better this year with Terrell Bernard and Matt Milano.
Yeah.
Bernard was incredible.
This last week.
And then Colts Ravens, maybe one of the bigger surprises on that one buck.
The Colts with Gardner Menshu.
They go, and I know the Ravens are missing seven starters.
None the less.
That is not an easy place to play.
And that is a rivalry.
They take seriously in Baltimore for obvious reasons.
That's a big one from Colts.
Yeah.
Big win for the Colts.
Gardner Menshu finds a way to kind of make enough plays now.
He also has some bonehead blunders that he did.
But they were able to overcome it.
But how about the day for the kicker?
Being able to knock you down, being able to score from 50 plus.
I mean, that's unbelievable.
Like they have a long distance kicker.
So you never really like you.
Because until you need a kicker.
Yeah.
In and out of school.
So we have a greater appreciation for the kicking game.
No one loves competing and playing football.
I can't say no one.
There are few who love competing and playing football as much as Gardner Menshu does.
Like the joy that that dude plays with is awesome.
I would also add one more thing on those guys.
They got after the pass or a little bit with their defensive front.
Let's see.
Zeyer Franklin at a sack.
Ebu Kim had a sack.
Quitte Pays.
It's going to be a good player starting to come into his own.
He had one.
Taven Bryan had one.
So they did a nice.
David Bryan.
I know.
Yeah.
The plan.
Yeah.
Listen.
Be honest with yourself.
Did you know that Taven Bryan was playing for the Colts right now?
Be honest.
I'm honest out there.
Yeah.
First front pick.
Yeah.
Last one.
I didn't see any of this game.
So I can't comment on it.
But Panther Seahawks.
The Seahawks win that one.
37.
27.
Either of you guys catching any of that one.
I caught the stiff arm that Zach Sharbinay put on a Panthers unsuspecting a member of the
secondary on his way to the end zone.
Sharbinay and Kenneth Walker.
Essentially are the.
That's the way they want to win.
Yeah.
And they're going to beat you up doing it.
Yeah.
It's all school.
It's all school for them.
It's Pete Carroll.
It's the way they want to play.
They want to beat you up.
They want to run it.
They want to play defense.
And they've been able to do it for a long time in Seattle.
So no need for them to change it.
All right, guys.
Well, this was.
This was fun.
I went through.
We went through a bunch of stuff today.
I always love it when we kind of get in some of those deeper discussions.
This we're able to do.
Really enjoyed it.
You know what I'm doing?
I'm off to go buy a texito because my daughter is getting married in two weeks.
Two weeks.
Two weeks.
I was getting married.
And so I've got to.
I was going to rent by thing.
And I somehow convinced myself that, you know what?
There might be other big, big events.
And then I'll never have to rent a texito again.
Wow.
It had been a flood.
You need my help for this.
Could be flawed thinking.
I know.
He is my.
He is my clothing consultant.
I'm going to be at Nordstrom in about two hours.
If you'd like to meet me down at Fashion Valley in San Diego in two hours.
I'm going to make sure.
Unfortunately, I'll take me three to get there.
So quick, quick question.
Quick poll for the group here for the panel.
Um, texito.
We go long tire boat tie.
I mean, you want to be classic or you want to be a little bit more like polish modern.
Uh, polish modern is going to send you with the, with the tie.
Okay.
I think, I think I think James Bond style.
You got to go to boat.
I do.
Like that's the only way.
There's got to go.
It's shy economy.
I would expect you to be very, uh, devineering dapper.
Yeah.
I can see you as a, as a boat tie guy, I think.
Okay.
I feel like I, I don't want to be the person who's trying too hard.
I want to be a properly, uh, aged, uh, peril.
45 years old.
I think, I think the shoe game is really more important.
Make sure we get, we have some nice shoes.
I think there are.
Are you going.
Are you going?
Like a shiny black.
Are you going with the pad leather?
You're going to pad leather joints.
Make sure you get a good, nice, nice.
Oh, would you go leather over the shine then?
Well, I don't know.
But I'm saying, but like, if you're going to do it, you got to do it the right way.
Don't don't have those.
Yeah.
Just make sure they're looking good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But answer me the question.
You know what I'm talking?
Like, do they need to be like shiny?
Like you can.
Classic look is the shot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
And.
And.
And you need to practice your night like that.
First dance and all that other stuff.
You got to get yourself ready.
No, the best part about it.
You know, the best part about that.
Glad you mentioned that.
Yeah.
My daughter did me a solid on that.
And she was like, look, I, you know, she's kind of, it's kind of a weird part of the wedding.
Is that everybody's just staring at you doing the, the, the father, daughter dance, the first dance.
I was just like, so she cut the songs down to a minute.
So she's like, hey, that's, hey, we're, we're, that's a couple of these.
One person chorus.
We are done.
One squirrel.
And then boom.
Let's get on with the show here.
So that's.
That's big.
Yeah.
I can't believe that.
Yeah.
She's 22 years old.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'll let you guys know.
I'll send you text.
If I go bow tie or regular time, I think I'm leaning towards the bow tie.
I think I like that more of a classic age appropriate look.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're going to be good.
All right.
I appreciate.
If you have, if you want to weigh in on that, go ahead and send us.
Send me a tweet.
Yes.
Let me know.
Leave us a review.
We appreciate that in the review.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Leave us a rating review.
Let me know if I should wear a long tie or a bow tie.
Ask me, as well, if I should wear a long t pela.
Bolt and tails.
I think I can.
I think that you'll have to check out some of the points.
Maybe those are the points.
If those are the ones you would like to want a more colonial level style rules as well.
This is worthço if you want to make a story of it's what should be called.
