00:03 - One more guy on the Furious Five here to talk about.
00:05 Tyler Lockett.
00:06 Now we talked about Gino Smith
00:07 looking less than thrilling last week.
00:09 So I don't wanna forget all about
00:12 the 30 touchdowns last year.
00:14 I don't wanna forget about the QB six finish,
00:16 but it looked like a distant memory in week one.
00:18 So is there a bounce back week two year
00:20 and is this game that we're talking about,
00:22 this Seattle Detroit game,
00:24 potentially one of the ones where
00:26 maybe everybody's got too much attention
00:28 on the Chiefs and the Jags,
00:31 and maybe this is the game
00:32 that ends up being the big shootout?
00:34 - I mean, this game was a massive shootout last year,
00:36 as long as Seattle, and I know it's a big if,
00:39 but if Seattle can keep Gino upright,
00:42 at least for half of this game,
00:44 because I understand like, look Detroit last year,
00:47 top seven or top 10, excuse me,
00:49 in pressure rate and blitz rate.
00:51 And so the reason I'm on Tyler Lockett this week is twofold.
00:55 We talk about where does the ball go
00:57 when certain things happen versus zone coverage,
00:59 Tyler Lockett show, we know that tried and true,
01:02 but also when Chef Gino is under duress.
01:05 We all saw the clip last week of Aaron Donald
01:07 running in his face,
01:08 that's gonna be Aiden Hutchinson this week.
01:10 When Gino was under pressure last year,
01:13 it was all Tyler Lockett,
01:15 26% target share versus DK Metcalf's 18%.
01:20 So when Gino's running around for his life,
01:23 he's not just running around and staring at the sideline
01:25 and saying, "Pete, please pull me off the field.
01:28 I don't want this anymore."
01:30 He's looking for Tyler Lockett deep.
01:32 And I think we're gonna see that this week.
01:34 It's gonna be a lot of Tyler Lockett and I'm here for it.
