And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to Move the Sticks, DJ, Bucky, and Rhett.

As we had a chance yesterday to dig into a lot of the changes that were made around the league.

Today, we're getting back to football.

aggressive in their approach, and then they dialed the pressure to go at Sam Donald.
