00:00But I'm pretty Brock Purdy's 50 yards rushing against the Lions in the NFC title game was a big deal
00:05Like that's that's something that now as we're moving forward and looking for vulnerabilities is
00:12Okay
00:14This is this is the first stretch of this game. This Sunday is the first of a stretch of games and where I
00:21Worry a little bit about the lack of depth now at linebacker being a part of it
00:26Are they gonna be able to slow down a mobile quarterback? They're gonna see a lot of that the rest of the way
00:31You know, that's you know
00:32I've discussed how the regular season becomes this exercise and trying to check every box and answer every Bell
00:39Can they win on the road? Yes. Can they be good teams? Yes. Can they win in bad weather games? Yes
00:44Can they overcome injuries? Yes. Can they have a stinker of a half and still win a game? Yes
00:50Can they can they be the mobile quarterback now? It's can I mean they have
00:54A beat some guys that are more mobile, but this this stretch of games are really gonna get tested in that regard
01:00yeah, because they I mean look Baker Mayfield is mobile Gino Smith is mobile, but
01:06Anthony Richardson is a running quarterback Caleb Williams is a running quarterback and these are guys are facing Josh Allen is a running quarterback
01:13When he wants to be obviously you if you watch the game against the Chiefs
01:17You saw how things finished up there and it's just who he is. They've got real
01:21Test from that standpoint, however, the Colts overall aren't very good. The Bears overall aren't very good
01:28The Bills overall are really good. Yeah
01:31But the next games against Caleb Williams and Anthony Richardson, I think it helps the Lions in
01:38Preparation for the Bears that taken on Anthony Richardson and the Colts on Sunday because they're they're similar with similar types of quarterbacks
01:45both have immense talent both can absolutely run and
01:49I'm not sure who's ahead of who right now in terms of their their progression as a player
01:55the difference between like a plane of Richardson and
01:58Plane of Brock Purdy or Sam Darnold is they call plays for Richardson to run the ball
02:03Josh Allen gets plays called for him to run the ball Jalen Hurts gets plays for him to run the ball
02:08So that it's not improv. Yeah, that's part of the offense
02:11And so I think it is a good dry run Doug as far as if you see Jalen Hurts in the playoffs, you know
02:17If you see
02:18Lamar Jackson in the Super Bowl or Josh Allen again in the Super Bowl like those are guys they have to be accounted for on
02:24Every offensive play like the Donald the Purdy's those are annoying because those aren't called like they just find a way to get out
02:30Of a you know a sack or whatever gain yards with their legs or just find an open receiver
02:35Well, and if you look at the quarterbacks the Lions have defeated this year, okay
02:40They've defeated only one quarterback who's in the top 10 in the NFL and quarterback rating
02:46And
02:48Actually, it's not true. They've defeated two. They've defeated nine and ten
02:51They defeated Kyla Murray and Sam Darnold are nine and ten the best quarterback. They played this year beat Detroit Baker Mayfield
03:00Outside of that you start moving down the list you get to 16 for Stafford
03:04Jordan Love's ranked 19th in quarterback rating Gino Smith 23 CJ Stroud 24 Trevor Lawrence
03:11They didn't play him my bad
03:12Dak Prescott 27
03:15So
03:16The quarterbacks are sort of assembled in the middle to the bottom of the pack now to be fair
03:21if you look at the best quarterbacks in the league right now in terms of quarterback rating I
03:27Relish the opportunity to face the top quarterback in quarterback rating Lamar Jackson because we know that's where we know where they'd be playing him
03:34or Joe Burrow
03:35Lamar's one Burroughs three Derek Carr's quarterback in the team. That's probably not a severe threat Justin Herbert's in the AFC
03:44Jalen Hurts
03:45Jalen Hurts and Philly are emerging as
03:49as a huge challenge here as some expected them to be and they you know, they look like they were
03:55gonna have some problems earlier in this year, and they've really they've really gotten things going but
03:59As it stands right now, you know the quarterbacks that they have beaten
04:04Aren't aren't great in terms of quarterback rating
04:07Although, you know Kyla Murray's given people problems and so does so to Stroud in spite of his ranking
04:13Stroud's throwing too many picks this year more way more than he did last year
04:17But hey challenges ahead. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. We got some big challenges coming
