Where Does Tyler Shough Actually Rank Among NFL Quarterbacks?

0:00One of my favorite things to do every week during the football season is go look at the quarterback power rankings because there's no better way to get your blood pressure boiling and get ready to fire off some mean tweets than seeing a subjective list of quarterback names out there. There's one this week. I think I really do agree with though. And there are a couple that I think are a bit out landish. We're going to talk about those on the show. We're going to talk about the running back split on the show. We're going to react to some of the stuff that Shocking Kellin Moore said yesterday at the podium a lot to get into Baltimore games coming up. Let's get to it. Welcome back to Norland's dot football presented by loft a team for locations 30 TVs local teams on a all of them go up there this weekend. Check them out. Man, they're saying Sam Levit isn't going to play her is doubtful. I don't believe it. I think they're lying. I think it's gamesmanship. I can't wait to watch that one. That's going to be a crazy football game. A lot going into it. Some of the prop bets on it are absolutely crazy. I saw one today. It was like well lane cry.

1:01I think it's out of control. This is the stuff that makes college football cool. Not arguments. I end up in court and all of stuff like this. This is it. This is it right here. I can't wait to watch it. I love a messy a messy ass football game football rivalry really really makes it a lot more fun.

And of course we're coming to you from the Oshner Energy Sports Medicine Institute podcast studio. First things first presented by PJs coffee. Let's look at some of these QB power rankings. Now I don't like the way some of these places do them. NFL.com Nick shook. He does it in a way that that makes sense to me. He just looks at who's playing. How they're playing. How they're playing in the moment. He doesn't bring like legacy things into it.

2:04Who played the best this week? Okay. That's where these guys are. Okay. Week two happened. How do we weigh that together? And he just does it in the moment. It isn't this guy was the best player in the league. Like some of that does weigh into it. Probably of course as you're kind of stacking them out at a certain point. But it isn't. Well, this guy has to earn his way up. Like no, like if dude's playing good, they put them in there. I think that makes them more honest and it isn't like oh, well, I'm afraid of what they're going to say on the internet or whatever. Like it's just the right way to do it. And I think he kind of nailed the shock spot right here. His list goes Josh Allen Caleb Williams. I thought Caleb played great. The big PFF debate happens again as it does every year. Lamar Jackson died. He had a great game. Declan Doyle really got him going. That's awesome to see Trevor Lawrence has become one of the more interesting stories to me overall. Just in the sense that a it feels like it's all coming together for him. B it shows what patients can do is you're kind of waiting to see what's going to happen with the quarterback and see how important

3:06it is to have the coach with the quarterback in the offense. They're scoring like 23 points every single week. I think they have the longest street going to 23 plus points. They had another good game this week. He just looks like where he's supposed to be. My homes looked like my homes. At least whatever that looks like now in the two high world where they're taking away some of that stuff. Then Doc Joe burrow. He's already heard again. I mean, that's crazy. Hopefully we get to see him go through a season and he can play like himself because it is a football fan. I want to see it. Pertie at eight. Goffit nine. Bryce. Young at 10. Again, not not legacy rankings. Just who played good Bryce out of good game this week. Matthew Stafford at 11. Hertz at 12. Herbert 13. And then they got shot up 14, which yeah, that feels that feels right to me. I mean, I think there were moments in this game where shocked looked like an absolute just demon like an unstoppable force. There were moments in this game where I think he wouldn't be surprised if you laid out

4:08all the best throws of the week. If he didn't have three of the top 10, like there were just a few plays that he just looked like he was untouchable like by other quarterbacks. There were moments in this game where he looked like the best thrower of the football in the world. And then there were moments in this game where he didn't where he's throwing bad interceptions. Timings off a little bit. So I feel like 14 is about right. I mean, as good as the M was the start was just as troubling, I think. And then the end was just so damn good that yeah, 14. That feels like the right place to put them. Then they go into CJ Strauss Jordan love Sam Darnold, Jacobi Bersett, Drake May, Geno, Jackson Dart, and Baker's at 22. J Daniels 23 on and on the list goes may feel to 25. Like is a current ranking coming off a week one. Yeah, I agree. I think I agree with this was wholeheartedly. I think shock probably ends up in that range by the end of the season. All right. Then let's look at some of these other ones. Like this is this is the the Fox Sports one. And I just don't I don't

5:12agree. I don't agree with this list. And we're going to run into a big problem with this one in a second. And it goes to Sean Cooper Ash Maligwell, scam war Daniel Jones Kirk cousins, then shock. Okay. Cool. They moved him down from 23 to 26. After last week's game. What were you watching? Carson Wentz. So you can't tell me this is like a well, okay, Carson Wentz comes out of the woodwork and we're going to put him in there like, okay, cool. That fine. I guess. Carson Wentz drew lock. Drew lock looks like like granted. He got the win. Carson got the win. But those guys look like more capable quarterbacks. I just disagree with it. Like fine, whatever. But you can't seriously tell me that you thought that you would take Carson Wentz.

6:15Yeah, 133 yards. Yeah, he got the win. He threw three touchdowns, but he was better than shock. Come on, man. Like that ain't that ain't right. Like this is kind of like, oh, well, I had like pre draft takes and not afraid to put them where where where he looks like he should go. I don't want my, you know, buddies on the internet to get upset with me or something like that's that's not a good ranking. 187 for Drew like, like Drew locked in now play Tyler Shock last week. If you're ranking quarterbacks, like there's just no way that you're going about it this way. He played better than Bonix. Like then I've the courage to, you know, yeah, he dropped three spots, but he played better than Bonix. I just, I disagree with that ranking. And then there's this CBS one here too, where they put once and Drew lock. I had a shock like again, I know like winning or whatever, like, come on, man. Like Drew lock had a great finish of that game. Chuck, Chuck played unbelievable. Like there's just no way that you'd actually rank him that way, but I mean, I guess you can make the argument that Shock played him in the hole. And that's what you're doing. I guess if you do

7:16it over time, like it's going to, going to wash out, but like, I just feel like I just feel like I'm not people like not enough people of watch this guy play football. And I feel like NFL.com got it right. Like if you're wanting guys on your team right now, like that performance is a performance where, you know, I want that guy on my team. But you know, it's, it's not here nor there. Not that big of a deal. The other one, the other talking point to get to today. And this is presented by Shubber and Chersey Airher agency. My guy, Silva, over at established the run at like every day, what are they doing? And running back, how are they stacking them out? All this stuff. So I know this is like kind of a big fantasy topic in the space. And Kalamore addressed the usage of running back. And he basically said, hey, outside of the one year that I was in Philadelphia, we've had a shared backfield. And we're going to, we're going to split it up. And you know, you need to rotate those guys throughout the season. And there's a big need for that in terms of how you get through a year and all that stuff. And

8:22I do think that H&N is going to be the leader pretty much every week in terms of carries overall. And probably touches overall. But I don't know that he's going to be bell, bell, bell, bell, bell status. And now you got AK coming back. And I think the plan is the kind of just have a K spell him in certain roles. But I think they also want to get Kendrick some touches too. So I think all these guys are going to end up touching the ball. And I don't know that we're going to see bell, bell, status in terms of that. Now, I think one of the things that would help is if they got in the one of these hurry up packages and they get going with their tempo, more is thing with tempo is that you got to earn it. Like maybe they earn it a little bit more than they have and they can go into it. And then I think that would keep H&N on the field. But you know, I think right now as you look at it, their backs are a little bit scary. If you're trying to do that for you know, gambling, betting, fantasy, whatever, I don't know that you're going to get the answers that you want to get on that. So I think that's probably going to be how it goes all throughout the season. I think as far as like as a team front, I think it's a good way to do it.

9:26There's spots where I want AK getting the ball. There's spots where I want Kendrick getting the ball and their spots where I want H&N getting the ball. And I think if one of them gets a high hand, just lean into it and use common sense there. If one of them is better in protection and you got to protect a little bit and some spots like lean into that. So I thought Kendrick had a great one last week. PFF killed him on my mom where it was like man, he got in the way and like what do you want? What do you want? What do you want him to do on Hutchinson? Like you know, there's only so much you can do there. But I thought he did a pretty good job protecting which I thought show good growth for him. I do think that they want to get Kendrick the ball. So I'm very fascinated to see the three man split here. I think they liked the idea. I haven't seen CJ Donaldson out there as you know, kind of that full back power option. I don't know how many times that play is going to work that that full back dive. But I guess use it until somebody can stop it. But yeah, I think that's the way it's probably going to go. And if if you're betting on it, you know, I would expect H&N to be a slight leader. And then but that split overall, I don't know that we're going to see a guy get,

10:30you know, by the end of the season, have 70% of the carries or anything like that. I think it's going to be a by committee type of thing for this group. And I think from a football standpoint, that's probably the right way to do it. But I think they need the lean in the more of like, this is how we use Alvin. This is how we use H&N. This is how we use Kendrick and they all have different things that can be special. Our guy Ryan Paganetti had a had a breakdown of it today. Let me let me see if I can see it here. Just point out how effective, you know, two back stuff was two, you know, 12 or 21, 22% all was, you know, and part of that's the, the Kubea Kubea Kshane handification of the league. They all do that. And those are a lot of the better offenses right now. So those numbers are going to skew that direction. But, you know, with two backs on the field, the EPA was the high was way higher, was way higher than it than it was for teams out weren't using it. So I think that's a good way to lean into it. And

11:31I think essentially lean into some of that tune. It doesn't necessarily mean that both backs are in the backfield. Use them in different spots. I think it just gets you that extra linebacker on the field and you can lean into it. I think that's where AK comes in the play for this. I hope they have a grand vision for him. We've laid it out. We've talked about it. We did the video about pony. I don't know that it's going to be a huge part of their offense, but I hope it is. I hope it is. I hope it's at least a persistent wrinkle. And I hope that I don't just, you know, both talks it out and get rid of it and go spread every single play like, no, man, lean into them wrinkles. Like show the age a little bit. But it's old as new again though. Like these heavier sets work better now. Like it's the it's the counter punch to the the stop and everything with too deep. And I hope the Saints really do lean into it. We're going to get into some reaction right after this quick break. Welcome to loft 18. Your favorite look us for it's far.

Welcome back to the oil and stop football presented by loft 18. We continue the show in the segment presented by Fandall. We got a little reaction today. We heard from Tyler and Kalim Moore and they talked about a handful of topics here. As we always do, let's get into some

16:39of what they had to say and let's break it all down. A lot of good stuff this week, big game, coming off that performance against the Lions and now Baltimore. Let's see if you can fight. I want to correct from the early half of the game. Yeah, there was a lot to clean up. As we broke it down, there was a lot more cover for it and there was a lot more blitzing in that game. And in the first half of the game, he did not handle the blitz well at all in the second half of the game. I believe he off the top of my head. Don't quote me on this, but I think it was seven and nine against the blitz in the second half and he did a much better job against it. Didn't necessarily see it all perfectly as we saw in the one with with T-stead. He wasn't ready for that corner blitz, but he found the way to survive against the corner blitz. So credit where credit is due. You get that done. You make the big play on fourth and 12 of the game stays alive and you have a chance to win. So even though he didn't see it perfectly, he still

17:41performed it. So I think there's just some stuff not not even just necessarily with him though. Like yeah, they got to set the protections better. The way they do that, it starts with the center and then Tyler has the opportunity to correct it if he wants to. Someone's got to see that stuff better. Someone's got to get him into it. You know, some of it's going to happen though, but I think they just have to find a way to start the game faster. And I'm not going to go down my whole screen about that. It's just something that has to get done. The whole offensive unit and especially myself, I wish I would have just kind of gone through my operation and had a cleaner feet earlier on. My feet were too quick and I was trying to be too perfect. And like I said, after the game, they did a good job early on, but I feel like once I settled in and it's the first game, I'm not going to be perfect. There's going to be new stuff. Just kind of took that brush off myself and just played football and that's part of it. I'm still pretty early when it comes into that aspect of it. And I had a lot of fun being able to kind of have some adversity. Man, there's some stuff just happened. So it was good to be able to build off that and the whole

18:43offense. We just kind of were not on the same page and we were able to just kind of get things going. As far as maybe you all started faster offensively, is it just time on task and finding more synergies or something that you coached different meat to start faster? Yeah, we just got to play better in the first quarter. Simple as that. Simple as that. Time on task thing. It's a design and execution thing and for all of us, we all have to look at it. And so our defense three now and our offense, we had a first down there. I thought it was a good, short, large play. We ultimately always got to get the drive. I didn't know. Coach different meat to start faster. Yeah, we just got played better in the first quarter. Simple as that. Time on task thing. It's a design and execution. I agree with that. Like it's not it. We're beyond time on task. So I'm glad he said that we are beyond time on task on this. It's going back to last season. They got it. They got to design it better. They got to execute it better. It's just simple as that. They need to do those things

19:46at a way higher level than they are. It's ineffective right now. To the point that I'm tired of talking about it, I feel. I'm tired of talking about it. I really am. I just want to see something. For all of us, we all get have to look at it. And so our defense three now and our offense, you know, we had a first down there. I thought it was a good, short, large play. We ultimately didn't get the third and three. And that kind of, you know, derailed the drive that had some movement going. So we've got to execute better. The first shot did look a little bit promising as they were going through it. I was like, damn, they might have actually figured this out and then it fell apart. So yeah, sure. But you didn't score. You didn't even get in the field. We'll arrange. So like I had a little bit going, but like I said on the last show, I don't think it's like a 15-play drive as the answer. I think they got a hunt for an explosive on one of those first. Just to get them going. Get them rolling. Get them. Like there's just something where like I think this team needs some adrenaline behind it or something. We're we're scratching for any answer right now as we talk about this. They just got to get something going on.

20:48The noise in the silent cadence. I thought I thought the operation and the penalties were cleaner. It was. We just had a couple of miscommunications on some protection stuff. And that was got those cleaned up. And that was on me being, you know, being a little bit more just being louder when getting up to the line of screen mission. And you know, we got those cleaned up. And we're going to continue to work on that. That's really where some of those kind of protections broke down where just got to be better with our communication that way. One of the things I really like about him and I bet the team really likes about him is that he just kind of owns everything. Just cops, everything. I didn't do this good enough. What we saw last year is every time he'd be like, man, I have this up. He'd go out the next week. He clean it up. That's a good trait. Good thing to see. Good to see it's still going on here. Let's see if that growth keeps continuing. I think if you're one of his teammates, you love this. One of the things they didn't like about some of the previous quarterbacks is that this is how it goes.

21:53That's when it was kind of loud and this tough. But at the same time, I feel like our operation and everything else was smooth. And we just got to execute better once we get going. Which you guys has processed her certain protections like some teams, it's the standards, some of the quarterbacks. How do you guys go? Yeah, he's just center starts at QB. Can obviously direct it from there. And that's kind of a starting point. What's impressed you about? I mean, you saw from the numbers, the performances, but Tyler and Chris's chemistry. I mean, it's obviously you saw it in the week one as well with the games that they both had. What six outs you the most about how insane those two guys are with each other? Continuing on here for Zona by our heroes. Yeah, on the same page, the scramble drill was a big play. You know, where they were able to kind of see it the same way. And Chris took off and went down field and had the big time play there and kind of got us going. And then you know, I think the post route that was an incredible job by both those guys. Kind of a backside route on a concept. And they saw the safety cut in the over out and there were work through that progression. Tyler hung in there and made the throw. CEO made the catch. So, yeah, there's some

22:57big plays in there for both of them. Talked to your duo in the NFL. I mean, honestly, the only thing you can think about right now is how good they're going to be when they have all their weapons out there. And I'm not just talking about the number eight pick in the draft. Like I think if you have a earnest plan for everybody and you can work in Oscar Delpe in the some of these situations and you can work in Alvin into some of these situations and you get all your receivers back. I think there is a lot of room for growth, a lot of room to get better and improve. And I think that will make Chris an even better player, which is an insane thing to say coming off a buck 80 just of really, really great performance. He's he's all the way there. I mean, like he should have got Drake Lana money. He didn't. That's fine. He's paid. He's taken care of he's playing like it. And just to see that the money isn't a factor to that does matter. We've seen a before but he got paid. He's putting his body out there the same way as if he's trying to get paid, which I think is a great sign. The way the way these two have clicked in together,

24:01that it's precious. You talked about Chris right there. And I don't know if he mentioned after the game on Sunday that, you know, they're from all you all were traveling on Sunday. He said he kept telling you that there's best quarterback in the league and that he believes that. Was he part of that? Put the C on his chest. You know, an effort to kind of help you get through the adversity and whatnot and one of those comments kind of mean to you during those tough times. For sure. Yeah. Chris means a lot to me. And I love the way he approached the game. He's steady the whole time. He obviously had that, you know, the deep one that he obviously wanted back and I had some plays that I wanted back. So it's like, man, this is just football. How do we kind of keep going together? And it's, I'm able to connect quite a few times after that. And his words definitely encouraged me because, man, I'm just not trying to be so perfect. Just go play and them in a lot at the moment and at the same time, you know, I'm talking to all the guys, talking to myself. And I'm going to do that every single play, you know, because we have to reset even if we get a big one, we still got to get in the red zone. We got to finish the drive. We got

25:01to finish those plays. So that's the best part about it though is it's such a such a long such a long game so much can happen. And you know, we were right back in it. What makes him out good in the vertical area of fieldings? Yeah, there's definitely a trust factor with him. Putting out there that he's going to go out there and make a play. Or at least, you know, knock it down. It's going to be, you know, him or nobody. And I feel the same way about, you know, Debon Baylite too. He's going to go out there and make any contest to catch. And and that's the best part about it is, you know, we have that that chemistry. And we're going to stretch it. We're going to take some shots and stretch the field and be able to kind of change different layers of it. So that's just a credit to him for being the playmaker that he is and entrusting him in those moments because he's going to go get it. You know, to gain leverage, to gain body position on on catches and, you know, I thought one example he could highlight is that inside slot fade on third down or he's the defender played him outside leverage and did a

26:02great job of forcing him inside. And then he kind of uses bodies and actually kind of boxed out the defender, get back to the landmark where the throw was going to go. And that was a big time play. And then obviously he's got some red zone plays with evidence of him using his body as well. So we got an exclusive story on Norland's off-football. I talked to to Vailay privately. I talked to Shuck privately about Vailay just about how he uses his body and his body control to create opportunity. Check that out.

27:07leave a review, leave a comment, anything helps. Tell a friend. I appreciate you. The size that him and Jawan have and their ability to kind of play down field, is that, you know, offer this more opportunities because they had a couple of combinations around some terrific players. Yeah, I just say, yeah, when you're a bigger man, you can use your body to your advantage, you know, and it's kind of like a basketball metaphor a little bit as far as, you know, being a bigger man and being able to position yourself and defend, you know, box out guys at times. And so, uh, I think those kinds of examples pop up that one. Bryce Lance obviously made a couple big plays in that game. Um, he, the two point Virginia to get it, but for the coaches to have trust in that situation and for you to have trust in them and that situation, what did that say about him? Yeah, I mean, he loves football, man. Oh, you guys got to turn on the tape. Like every single catch, he's like first down. Like he's like signaling first down. He's like, like, getting up to the ball. He's like going there. I mean, even in these joint practices, he's like celebrating getting in the dude's face like, I'm not anybody's like this soft-spoken guy and he's competitive, man. I'm gonna like keep trying to feed him as much as I can. He's, he's in the

28:10right spot. He knows what he's doing, especially, you know, for a rookie. That's just awesome. It gets us going. Um, and he's made some really, really big catches and obviously the one at the end that's not really on him. That's they just matched it out well and tried to give him a chance. Um, but man, he's really proud of just him that game coming in. You know, you're not really getting a ton of touches, but he made those catches in some big moments. I've watched that two point play about 540 times now. It is just covered well. And I think one of the underrated things is they get a little bit of push on the line and it disrupts the timing of the throw just a little bit. And like, there's just no way to get all the way through it fast enough to hit there. Like there's a moment where it looks like, Hey, look, if this ball came out there, but if you're going one, two, three in your respect and every route, like the ball to three, now I've seen a lot of people talk about the backside throw to a chain. Like, you're just never going to get there. And unless everything is absolutely covered, like, you're just never going to get there. You're like, you weren't, you

29:10weren't supposed to get there unless something bust immediately and you just kind of know. So that's kind of pie in the sky, thinking you should get to that backside route to the flat, the check down like, it's just not going to happen. They discovered it well. They did. I really don't have beef with the call. Nothing. Like it's tough to score from two points. You had to call you like. You tried it. It didn't. Yeah. Yeah, I thought there were some good. Obviously, you had the big time turnover, which is, you know, critical opportunity for us in this game, just to create some momentum and create pursuit there. And you know, for Vern, I thought there were some real positives in there. There's some things he's going to want to prove on. That was a second NFL football game, you know, as much as, you know, we feel crazy to think about. Yeah, I mean, he was here last year to study and learn it. I thought he, I thought he was maybe, maybe, maybe, and you know, if you're looking at the macro perspective, his performance in this game was one of the most important things. Like he's been around here for a long time. That was a second NFL game. And so I'm excited for where he's going. Performance like this. I don't know,

30:12leave you at concerns the right word, but you lost per se. There may be some questions of how your interior would handle that. Like just just that go a lot more toward. Yeah, I think we just have a group that's going to just keep getting better. And that's the goal of this. They've got to keep getting better. There's a few younger guys that are going to keep growing and keep getting better. And we got some veterans who've played this game for a number of years. Like, you know, we got a rally and play a really consistent football there. And if we do that, we'll be, we'll be just like decklands, you know, first week of season done just an incredible job. You know, I think the world of deckland and how he's kind of blended a couple of worlds together, you know, and I think that's the, that's the impressive thing is, you know, Lamar's got a lot of time on task on certain things and they're not going to lose all that, but there's an added component that they're putting. First play of this game, they do like a run fake to the one side. Lamar rolls off it the other way and it's a pass down the field. And there's like seven dudes going the wrong direction on the play. Like the ability to just stay locked in and just look at the right things

31:14is paramount. And it's such a tall task as I mean, man, Derek Henry is an unbelievable football player top 10 all time. I'm rushing yards still running the same way. If he has another good season, he might end up passing up Peterson, which is crazy to think about just where he's actually adding a hierarchy of like greatest backs of all time. He's a top tenor like statistically at least. So, yeah, I mean, it's a tough thing. And then if deckland oil like he looks creative, he's better on all the right people. You know, man, just being around baton Johnson, like that's a, that's a feather in the hat, man. Like let's see, I'm interested to see what they do. This man with the ability to run the football from under center and kind of keep her game and all the things that he's able to add into this. And so, you know, for Lamar, he's going to make some plays off schedule. I think that's the biggest thing when you have quarterbacks that are able to play off schedule. We can't stop. We got to keep pursuing. We got to plaster is what we say on the back end. Those guys got to cover guys for maybe a little longer because inevitably, Lamar is going to make one of those happen, you know, in one of these games. So, he's got to do a

32:16great job of continuing to play. You thought deckland introduced some things that you've never seen Lamar do before or? I think just some structures that maybe they haven't lived in. You know, Baltimore over the last few years with Lamar played a lot of her styles, but the under center component, more of the keeper game, you know, he's lived that before. Lamar's done playing that, but I think just, you know, they put a really good emphasis on it. What's that about their defense though? The Mason play? Yeah, I mean, I would say number 14 stands out for sure. And he's a different maker when it comes all over the field, being in different spots. Their front is big. They're strong. They move, they move quite a bit. Their DBs are really good at tracking the ball. I feel like they had really good body control in their place. And there's not a lot of weaknesses, I'd say. They're really, really good. So we got to be on our toes and ready to go starting fast and then also just being detailed, orientated and still focusing on us and executing better too. And you just go from one really good run back to another really good run back.

33:17Yeah, it's last week. You got Henry this week. Well, how would you compare those two as riders? I think they both have a really good ability to find the one cut in the zone game, you know, and kind of cut that thing back. And if you miss an opportunity. The Saints had some issues being in the right gaps last week. That's going to be a huge thing this week. You can't let this guy get a head of steam and if you let him get a head of steam and space, you're cooked. So you got to be disciplined. You got to see it right. You got to be in the right gaps. You've got to have everybody there. And if you don't have everybody there, man, just hold on for your dear life until somebody else gets there. That's what this game's going to be about. They have a crease they can get there. And like it's so hard because Lamar challenges you with it. So you're going to have some actions got like it's tough quickly. And then it's a challenge. Obviously, you know, they have different styles once they get to that crease. But I think both have really good vision. Do you think like open field tackling for a regular person like me? Like there are kind of you can be like one of the hardest things someone could like there's

34:20some talking Washington's like there's not way like a regular person like he's a freak. Yeah, say he's. So we were talking about this in the locker room. What a dumb question to ask. But we were talking about this one day, like just about various scenarios of things you could do on the field. And like one of them was like, um, I can't I can't even remember what they were. Blocker and Donald tackled their kindering the open field. I feel like trying to tackle their kindering the open field will be the hardest thing for somebody to do because he's a violent runner. And you're like, oh, well, I would just dive it as these. Well, if you you're going to miss and then he's just going to trample you and you're going to be done. You're going to go in. He's going to stiff arm you and you're just going to eat dirt. Um, I feel like you would try once and that be it. And I just feel like him in the open field is terrifying. Like there's no way to hide from that. He's he's going to just murder you and uh, leave you cooked. Yeah, dumb ask question. But hey, whatever, man, you got to have some fun sometimes. We're going to hit a quick break. We'll be right back. Guess what, Louisiana? It's back. The legendary 10k thirst quencher.

It is now time for the get Gordon question of the day presented by Gordon McCurnen injury attorneys. If you need help, make sure you get Gordon. All right, today's question comes from Bob Jones. What are your thoughts about Moores comments about the running back room with the money HM was given that he get a larger share of the responsibility. We already talked about this at the beginning, but the money aspect of it is something we didn't hit on. So that's that's why I picked it. And I mean, I think that is a fair point. I feel like the money did create an expectation that this guy was going to be using, you know, XYZ at the carries. But I also don't care. Like if your configuration of the room is best with everybody getting a touch and that's how you're the best version of yourself and you had to pay HM that amount of money to get his element of it and his home run hitting ability becomes a big part of what you're doing. Totally cool with it. It doesn't bother me

39:40at all. Like really how it comes together. Yeah, I did create expectation. So I think that's a very fair point. But I don't think that you have to give them X amount of carries because you paid them X amount of dollars. I feel like good running backs are important in today's NFL. And I feel like that valuation is going to shift. And I think it's a thing that numbers people are behind on and look, the league is going a direction. Like you got to have you got to have a good running game. You got to have an effective running game. And you know, I think part of that's having a good back. Maybe it isn't, you know, hey, look, I don't want to use my draft capital on it. Then you got a someone. I wanted them to get, you know, Kenneth Walker. That was the guy I was looking at. Hey, you didn't get him HM fine. I like Jeremiah love. I don't really care about the essence. And if they had drafted Jeremiah love or if they had drafted, like if your best split is to get them all some touches, I'm okay with it. Now, when the dominoes fall, I feel like a chance should be at the top of that. So it's not like I'm saying it in that sense of like, well, he should be 33% and this should be 33 and this should be 33. Like no, if this is the guy

40:42that you paid and he's your best back, he should have the lion share. But I'm okay with everybody else getting the bite off the apple too. So yeah, we'll see how it kind of shakes out as long as it makes sense and it's the best configuration and everybody's succeeding. And if like H&G is super hot, you just keep giving them a ball. That makes sense to me as long as you have a good cohesive plan, that all makes sense to me. But I want to these guys from the field, man, I want I want them using two of them. I want them, I want more usage out of everybody than then less. That's going to do it for today's show. We'll talk to you next time.
