00:00I think what's wild about Tyler Shuck in this offense is that they stink in the first quarter.
00:06I bet against them in the first quarter.
00:08They were losing after the first quarter.
00:10They're now 2-15 straight up over the last 17 games in the first quarter.
00:16But what changes in the fourth quarter?
00:18What are you seeing with this offense come the fourth quarter?
00:21Because it's back-to-back weeks where they just threw a switch and they were dramatically different.
00:27I think a lot of things come down to – there's a Tyler Shuck conversation in here,
00:32but I think the bigger takeaway for me is it's a better Kellen Moore conversation.
00:36I think the in-game adjustments from Kellen Moore and how he's facilitating Tyler Shuck to run the offense,
00:42making things easier because if we go back to week one, Shuck had no plan versus pressure.
00:49Like Lions would bring him pressure.
00:50He looked like he forgot how to play football.
00:54There are two quarterbacks, D-Bro, in the NFL that have had back-to-back three touchdown performances
01:00for tosses in the NFL, and they are Kirk Cousins and Bryce Young.
01:07What is going on here with both the Raiders and the Panthers' offenses?
01:11Because I don't think coming into the year we expected them to be this prolific through week two.
01:16I think with Cousins, you're seeing him run the offense.
01:19I think this is more matchup-based with Cousins.
01:22Now, yes, did he throw a deep ball, and did he get it completed?
01:26Sure, that's fine.
01:28I still don't think Cousins has a ton of juice left in that arm,
01:30and if teams are going to constrict the Raiders' offense,
01:34then maybe, like, obviously we haven't seen Brock Bowers on the field yet,
01:37so what is he through with his offense?
01:38Because, good Lord, they don't have any receiving options that I feel great about.
01:42I don't care about Trey Tucker getting 100 receiving yards.
01:44That doesn't matter to me.
01:45So, I think Cousins, he's playing well enough to do what I thought he was going to do coming into
01:52this season,
01:53and I was fighting back all the Fernando Mendoza stands with a freaking stick in the preseason,
01:58and I'm like, the Tom Brady of all of this is Cousins is going to start games.
02:01He is going to start a ton of games.
02:04And the fact that now they're winning, and he looks efficient or at least decent playing quarterback right now
02:12is going to give him a long leash, and they're going to let Mendoza develop, which they should do.
02:18So, I don't think Cousins is Bryce Young of it all.
02:22I have not gotten to his all 22.
02:24I'm going to dive into that later this week and see how much of this is real versus fiction,
02:28because just being transparent here, I've watched some of the Carolina Panthers games,
02:33I haven't watched all of it, so I'm not going to have definitive concrete takes about
02:37is he a real quarterback, is this all just matchups, because again,
02:40Carolina's drawn some pretty favorable matchups, and these defenses week one and week two,
02:46Bryce has looked better.
02:48Is that real?
02:49I've got to go to the film to find out.
02:51But right now, grain of salt with the Raiders, Carolina might be for real,
02:56and I'll go kids unite.
02:57We shall see.
02:58We shall see.
