00:00All right, I wanted to talk about your guy, John, DJ Moore,
00:04because he had a scare, and we're still trying to get info here
00:07on exactly what it is.
00:09But DJ Moore was injured late in the second quarter.
00:13He was diving for a potential touchdown.
00:15He landed hard on that left shoulder, that collarbone area,
00:19and he went to the locker room for XRs.
00:21He was ruled out immediately.
00:22Now, the team listed it as shoulder slash stinger,
00:26which a stinger would be probably best-case scenario.
00:30But still, Buffalo put up 41 points
00:33despite getting virtually nothing from DJ Moore.
00:36But DJ Moore in week one, 5 for 100 with a touchdown, as we've said.
00:41Keon Coleman, I felt, played kind of well in this game
00:45in DJ Moore's absence.
00:47But are you concerned about this DJ Moore injury at all?
00:52No, he gets hurt. He gets hurt.
00:54That's the one thing about him.
00:55He gets banged up.
00:57He will play. He'll be out there.
00:59Come Sunday.
01:00He may not finish the game,
01:02but he will start the game.
01:03But again, this is the part about the DJ Moore experience.
01:06I think people are going to find that.
01:08Because he is there,
01:10I think that it shifts the way that the team
01:12is being defended from the wide receiver position.
01:15So now Keon Coleman gets more looks.
01:17And now he gets a couple balls come his way
01:19because now the coverage isn't on him like it was last year.
01:22And then he gets more confidence.
01:24And so now when you get to the fourth quarter
01:26and the third quarter of this game,
01:28Keon Coleman is still making first down catches
01:29because that confidence has now continued to build.
01:32I think that is the addition of DJ Moore
01:36that you're seeing in full effect.
01:38I hope this injury isn't any worse than it looked.
01:42It just looked like he came down really hard.
01:44And with the score of this game,
01:46you really didn't need him back on the field.
01:48I think that probably had,
01:49from my experience of watching him,
01:51I think that had more to do with it,
01:53the score did, than the actual injury.
01:55Yeah, I think if it was a close game,
01:57maybe they wouldn't have moved him back so quickly.
02:00Right.
02:01And I think, you know,
02:04let's just say, John,
02:06if he gets injured for a long period of time,
02:09do you think they can survive several weeks without him
02:12if this is, say, a collarbone
02:14or something involving the joint or something?
02:17Do you think they can survive without him?
02:19Because I feel like they could.
02:21Like, survive is a very broad term.
02:23You know, what do we mean by survive?
02:25Do we mean above 500?
02:27Do we mean first in the AFC East?
02:29Do we mean playoff bound?
02:30Like, do you think that they could
02:32at least stay afloat with that wide receiver core?
02:36I think they're going to be in the same boat
02:38that they were in last year,
02:39wondering where's the help.
02:40Again, I think getting DJ Moore starting the game
02:42and not finishing it
02:44allows other guys to build confidence.
02:45If they're starting the game back at square one,
02:48if Keon Coleman is your number one
02:49and then all these other guys are just floating around,
02:52I think you go right back into the same position
02:53that they had last year
02:54where trying to find the guy to come up with the catch
02:58because now everything just gets reverted back
03:00to the way things were last year.
03:02So that's a really good question.
03:05I think they're going to win the division
03:07just simply by the way the Patriots are going to,
03:10they're going to play better teams this year.
03:12So I don't think their record's going to be
03:13as sterling as it was last year.
03:15I think Miami will be winless
03:17and the Jets are going to jet no matter what.
03:20So I think they win the division by default in a sense,
03:24but I don't necessarily think that
03:26that is going to be an indication
03:27on whether or not the wide receiver room is good.
03:30I think that's more Josh Allen
03:32being a false multiplier than anything.
03:34Yeah, because you have to understand,
03:36like you said,
03:37somebody's going to get a target increase.
03:39Is it Walton Kincaid?
03:40Is it Coleman?
03:42Is it Khalil Shakir?
03:43Or is it Josh Palmer?
03:44Josh Palmer got a touchdown.
03:47Probably would be great on the Chargers,
03:48wouldn't he, John?
03:50Man, listen.
03:52Speaking of that,
03:53you bring that up.
03:55I was watching this game.
03:56I'm watching the Lions.
03:58I'm going,
03:59Chargers need to pick up their phone
04:00and call about James Jameson Williamson.
04:02Oh.
04:04Make them tell you no.
04:05Make them tell you no.
04:06I don't think Detroit would trade him.
04:08You're two games in,
04:09he got four catches.
04:10What are we doing?
04:10Yeah, I don't understand that.
04:12But, I mean,
04:13we'll get to the Lions in the second block
04:15in terms of their defense.
04:16But,
04:17I just don't understand this Lions.
04:20I mean,
04:20is it their coordinators lead?
04:21Like, Ben Johnson left,
04:22Aaron Glenn left,
04:23both of their defensive
04:24and offensive coordinators left.
04:26And while they had an okay year,
04:29even though Sam Laporta got hurt,
04:30they were okay up until Sam Laporta
04:32got hurt, really.
04:33It just hasn't felt the same.
04:35It hasn't felt,
04:35I feel like Ben Johnson
04:36just made that engine go.
04:38And we just haven't seen it.
04:39One injury should not kneecap
04:41that offense.
04:42Especially if it's not the quarterback.
04:44Sam Laporta being out
04:45should not have taken that offense
04:47down the notch.
04:48You still have Amarose Brown.
04:50You still have Williamson.
04:51You still have Jameer Gibbs.
04:53You still had David Montgomery last year.
04:55And so,
04:56the idea that that offense
04:58took a step back
05:00because the tight end got hurt
05:02just kind of tells you
05:03I don't think it was
05:04that the tight end got hurt.
05:05I just think that offense
05:06was going to take a step back
05:07no matter what
05:08because the person calling
05:09the plays had left the building.
05:11That's why you don't blow
05:1224-7 leads in the NFC title game
05:14when you have the home team
05:16on the ropes
05:17for a chance to advance
05:18to the Super Bowl.
05:19Dan Campbell
05:20should have bit some more kneecaps.
05:22And also,
05:24Buffalo was already
05:25without
05:26Ed Oliver.
05:27Ed Oliver hurt his hip
05:28before the game.
05:29He was ruled out
05:30after aggravating his hip
05:32in warm-up.
05:33So,
05:33just something to watch.
05:34And by the way,
05:34in this particular game,
05:35the Lions were down
05:36multiple offensive linemen.
05:37True,
05:38exactly.
05:38So,
05:39and they still put up
05:4031 points.
05:40I know it wasn't a shootout.
05:42Don't do that.
05:42Don't do that.
05:42Don't do that.
