00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook, where

2

Speaker 1: everything's fine. We're just fine, just totally chill, totally normal.

00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours here since we've last been in the

4
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,160

00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: other friend Steve Weish. We're here for the Week ten preview.

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: I know I've reached out to some folks. I'm very,

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: very fortunate and I always have been. Yeah, to be

9
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: surrounded by the people that I have in my life,

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: and I couldn't imagine spending it with any other group

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: of people. Appreciate you, Patrick, that was a great shout

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: out to all y'all. Yeah, for real back there behind

00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: the glass. I appreciate you guys absolutely.

00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: More on the great people behind the glass a little

Speaker 1: later in the show. This will be Randy Schavis's last

16

Speaker 1: about him. Give him some flowers late later in the show.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: And that is a great sentiment. I did feel better

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: getting getting to work today and seeing everyone and just

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: being back in the football mix. And we're gonna do

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna do the preview the same way we always

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: do smallest to biggest spreads.

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: And we start with a team.

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys know, the New York

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: Jets are all fixed now, guys.

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: Everything is great.

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: They're taking that greatness on the road to go up

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: against the Arizona Cardinals, who greg are on a three

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: game winning streak with Jonathan Gannon's defense giving up a

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: top five EPA per drop back despite having a sack

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: by committee approach?

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: Do they get it done against the Jets? Wow?

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: This is such a fun late afternoon game, really in

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: a window where there aren't, you know, great options, This

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: to me is really fascinating to me. And yeah, can

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Nick Rollis in this defense turn into like a steady

37
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: defense that at least isn't giving up big plays and

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: gives problems to a Jets offense which got going finally

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: in the second half of that Thursday night game.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: They get the extra rest here.

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: But I kind of look at it the other way

42
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: around and think about this Cardinals offense because that's how

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: if they're gonna make the playoffs this year, it's gonna

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: because their offense, yeap is next level And I love

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Steve how Kyler Murray has quietly transformed a little bit

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: who he is. Not a lot of negative plays like

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: last week, not flashy. It was one of the first

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals wins I can remember where Kyler didn't do much.

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: But that's almost a good sign if you look at

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: his numbers, very few negative plays. He's in the top

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: ten in the league in terms of pressure to sack ratio,

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: so he's avoiding sacks. He's in the top ten of

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the league in terms of turnover worthy play percentage, so

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: he's not making mistakes. He's not fumbling them ball, he's

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: not throwing picks. And of course you get the spectacular

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: plays sometimes maybe you don't need them all against the Jets,

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: as long as you don't make big mistakes.

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the first time probably in his career,

59
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: you know, when he's healthy where he hasn't had to

60
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 5: do as much. He's still the bearer of the cross,

61
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 5: so to speak. But he's got some weapons. James Connor

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 5: is a stud I want to ask both of you guys,

63
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: just though, because to me, this is kind of a okay,

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: make us believe something can happen game? Is it more

65
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: so for the Jets? Or for the Cardinals, like make

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: me a believer for type game Jets.

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: It's still the.

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: Jets for me. I've seen this Cardinalsteon win three three

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: games a round. I think they beat close games.

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: But I kind of feel like I know who they are,

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they're going to win the

72
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: division or not, but they're going to be in the

73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: mix and they present a lot of problems for you.

74
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: I still don't know who the Jets are.

75
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 3: So but if the Jets lose this then okay, it's

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: it's a rap. Yes, you know, the.

77
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 5: The owner can go back to England and you know,

78
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: the rest of the team can can do whatever. They

79
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 5: can figure it out. But if they win this game,

80
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: it could get very interesting. I mean, I I love

81
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: it's only a one point difference here because I think

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: it's a toss up type of game. I you know,

83
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 5: I look at the Jets defense. Kyler's a different guy

84
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: than they've played, and he's so good. You know how

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: much I love Kyler Murray and the way that he plays.

86
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: It's it's kind of like, if the Cardinals win this game,

87
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: I'm like you, I'm kind of like, Okay, they're gonna

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: be a pain. They're gonna be a tough out, but

89
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: if they win this game, it's kind of like the

90
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 5: old Leonardo Dicaprian Jango. Now, sir, you have my attention.

91
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 5: I knew you like that, but no, I love it

92
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: thematic on the day. So I had to go look

93
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: up who leads the Cardinals in sacks? Do you guys know?

94
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: No, Dennis Gardexti. It's Dante Stills. He's got three and

95
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: a half sacks. Zavan Collins has three. We at least

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: know who he is. Chris Chris Barnes k r yass

97
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: Barnes has two sacks. I normally when there's a game

98
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: coming up against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, I try

99
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: to key on like this one in particular edge rusher,

100
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: Like where do the Jets need to focus? I don't

101
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: know what they do here with this this kind of

102
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: sack by committee approach. And then over on the other side,

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: the Jets too much to their pleasure right this season,

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,559
Speaker 2: have forced the second most pass attempts on the run

105
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: this season. They other quarterbacks scramble on eighteen point seven

106
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: percent of plays.

107
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: Right.

108
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Problem now is it's Kyler m You're right, So that's

109
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: something you don't want.

110
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: To do well.

111
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: That was one of my takeaways from that Thursday night game.

112
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Could is the Jets pass rush back Hassan Reddick had

113
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: a nice game. Everyone has a nice game against the Texans,

114
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: but they were getting pressure at like every position. Will

115
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: McDonald a nice game. Quinn Williams has played his two

116
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: best games of the season back to back weeks, and

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: that's actually a strength for the Cardinals. Their offensive lines

118
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: played pretty well this year. Like to me, when it's

119
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: the Jets having the ball, though, that's a game plan

120
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: matchup because the Cardinals don't have the players ultimately, but

121
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: sometimes they can confuse the opposition.

122
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: Can they confuse you.

123
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: Know, Aaron Rodgers and you know whoever Todd downing and

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: calling the plays?

125
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 4: Maybe? Maybe not.

126
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: They're just such an up and down team. I think

127
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: we're going to see some points in this game. I

128
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: actually think both offenses end up winning.

129
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: I agree, And by that, you go to the Cardinals pass.

130
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: You know that the pass rush. They're not going to

131
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 5: confuse Aaron Rodgers. No one's going to confuse him. They

132
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 5: can confuse that offensive line. They can do some things

133
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: because okay, who do we scheme against? Where do we

134
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 5: shift the doubles in certain situations. We don't know, and

135
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 5: we know Johnathan Ganton is very creative in generating pressures.

136
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be a fantastic game.

137
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: And Rogers like spelled out looking at his schedule talking

138
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: to Al and Kirk kurb Street like going through all

139
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: the games that they could win, and that's all true.

140
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: But even if they won this game and it's close

141
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: in their four and six, it's like, that's a pretty

142
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: slim margin for and I look at all these games,

143
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you can win them all, but you

144
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: can lose them all. There's no there's no game where

145
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, the Jets are the way better team.

146
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 4: So TBD on them getting off fraud Watch.

147
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they've in fact, they're gonna have to do something.

148
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to invent a term right to come

149
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: back from fraud Watch, because like it was, it wasn't

150
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 2: just necessarily a watch. It was confirmed, like they fired

151
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: their coach, they had to make a huge trade to

152
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: get Davonte Adams to change the circumstance, and then they're

153
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: able to slide past this Texans team that's going in

154
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: the wrong direction. On Halloween Night where they needed that

155
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: touchdown to DeVante. That was that was to put the game.

156
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't like they were running away. And I know

157
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: that malcol Corley had the mistake, but there's plenty of

158
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: teams all across the league, Seattle, uh, Miami, all these

159
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: teams that had game changing mistakes. The Jets survived that

160
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: that won against the Texans, but you know they're still

161
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: they're not all.

162
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: Watch I believe. I believe now that the possible alert possible.

163
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that the offense is back enough, I'm sick

164
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: of trying to make the decision on my fantasy team

165
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: which to start DeVante or Garrett Wilson. I've been just

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: trying to like, guess, I'm just gonna start them both.

167
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: I believe that they'll have a good enough game here

168
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: against the Cardiffs.

169
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: Offensively, I'm just saying, I'm just guessing your third is

170
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: not that great.

171
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: Okay, it feels like a lot of Jets. The Miami

172
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: Dolphins gonna have to get on the jet to fly

173
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: across the country after flying up north to upstate New York.

174
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: They are two and a half point underdogs against the

175
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. The Dolphins coming off their best game

176
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: offensively this season, all the way to La operational Rams

177
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: team Steve, where they're on a three game win streak,

178
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: two winnable games, coming up unbeaten since the buye reminding

179
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: me of the twenty twenty three save right that went

180
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: on the by and then went on a huge run

181
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: on the way to the playoffs.

182
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 5: And they did that, we know, when they got you know,

183
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 5: heavy on the run game when they did play some

184
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: power football.

185
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm almost surprised that the margin zones two and a half.

186
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I know, Miami's offense is playing well and

187
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a exciting game Monday nighter, but the

188
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 5: Dolphins defense has not done much. You know, Los Angeles

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: is getting Pooka back. The explosive playability that we've seen

190
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 5: out of this Rams offense is something that's all right.

191
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: I mean, Stafford is coming in and just drilling the

192
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 5: ball downfield.

193
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: Now that's not to.

194
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 5: Say that the Rams defense is gonna be that great.

195
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: They're not.

196
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: You know, they're not a fast secondary. So this is

197
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 5: where Waddle and Tyreek Kill and these guys can get

198
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 5: after him. But I'm gonna say it once again, those

199
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 5: young dudes on the de front, Jared Versus and the

200
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: rookie and Braden Fisk.

201
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: Are real dudes. They are real guys.

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 5: They are gonna be in two his grill, so it's

203
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 5: gonna be that quick passing game. I just think the

204
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 5: Rams they're kind of on a groove. And I think

205
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 5: with Puoka coming back after being ejected and being embarrassed

206
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: by that, I think he's gonna have a big.

207
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Game, you know what. I hope you're right on Puoka.

208
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: I didn't think he looked great last week when he

209
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: was out there. I asked around a little bit. I

210
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: think that knee injury that he suffered in practice is

211
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: concerning because that Thursday night game he came back for

212
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: and he that was the full Puka And if you

213
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: watch last week's game, he and Stafford weren't exactly on

214
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: the same page and he maybe wasn't moving as well.

215
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: So they're not the same team offensively. But I think

216
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: they have more going on overall in terms of their

217
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: balance between the defense and the offense than the Dolphins,

218
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: who actually epa per play. For what it's worth, I

219
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: looked this up for a different team we'll talk about later,

220
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: but since Week six, EPA per play. Their defense is

221
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: third in the NFL the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah, it's

222
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: pretty impressive, and so it's a front that can get

223
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: after the problem for them is Tua gets rid of

224
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: the ball so quickly. It's been even quicker the last

225
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks than usual. The timing has been fantastic.

226
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: He hasn't really looked like he missed a minute. They

227
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: haven't been going down the field as much as kind

228
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: of the old school Dolphins, but they got some intermediate

229
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: routes into the mix against the Bills and it was

230
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: extremely effective and accurate. So there's not a lot of

231
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: reason for me to think that this Rams defense is

232
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: going to slow down that running game, which is really good,

233
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: or to being on time with this throws.

234
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, if not for the anomaly that's Jared goff In

235
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. The past two weeks, Tuas had an

236
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: eighty point three completion percentage.

237
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: Right.

238
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: It trails only Golf in this incredible run that he's

239
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: on by a full percentage point, which is like, you

240
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: just got to kind of throw that one out there.

241
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: Who is playing pretty well. Jared Verse leading all rookies

242
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: with thirty nine quarterback pressure's good man three.

243
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: And a half secks.

244
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: It's but I can't go away, and I know that

245
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to wait and see how healthy Pukakua is.

246
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: But when Cooper cup is back on the Matthew Stafford

247
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: just looks different. Like we had some questionable throws during

248
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: that No Cup era and all those just seemed to

249
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: go away.

250
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: Against the Seattle Seahawks, it was just.

251
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Like, oh, Matthew Stafford's back, and I think number ten

252
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: has a whole lot.

253
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: To do with that. I mean, and then Robinson stepping

254
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: up like okay.

255
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: Right, I mean he suddenly coke.

256
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: Cooper Cupp being back just gives DeMarcus Robinson superhuman powers,

257
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: like he's made crazy catch in the last two weeks.

258
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: But I mean that says something.

259
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 5: I mean, when you know, when I'm in a room

260
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 5: with you guys, it's high IQ, I've got to I

261
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: know I've got a level up, right, And that's what

262
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 5: Robinson is doing. So this is this is going to

263
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 5: be to me. It could end up being the game

264
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 5: of the weekend with in terms of excitement and points

265
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 5: and things like that.

266
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a tough question though, So

267
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: in this scenario. If if Patrick and I are helping

268
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: to raise your game, we're the Cooper Cup and Pooka

269
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: and Akua.

270
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: I'm the DeMarcus Robinson.

271
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: Like, so, who's the Jordan Whittington and too to at Well,

272
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: that's not really raising your game quite as much.

273
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: See, no way you did? I know he see you're

274
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: not gonnadmit it. But there's a name in there, you know.

275
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 3: Every time I hear it, just like.

276
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't know who you eat it, but I like that.

277
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: That's good.

278
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: People are gonna have to deep.

279
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: Deep, all right, folks, Folks digging through the roster right now,

280
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: going to a NFL networkall Football Reference dot Com and

281
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: sorting by lose shares as we get away from the

282
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: Monday night game and go to a game.

283
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: That we did not know was going to be this

284
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: good several weeks ago.

285
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: It is the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Washington Commanders, who

286
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: were two and a half point favorites against the team

287
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: that could be first place in the AFC north over

288
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: under forty five and a half. Ian Eagle Charles Davis

289
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: and Evan Washburn on the call, Greg, we have seen

290
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels win a lot of different ways. What would

291
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: a Commanders win look like against this Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

292
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: I think it would look like their offensive line holding

293
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: up in what's going to be their toughest test yet

294
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: yes season. If you look at what they do so,

295
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I think they've overachieved considering the talent that they have.

296
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: We thought that was gonna be one of the worst

297
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: offensive lines in the league. I think they've done a

298
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: great job coaching it up. I think the young players

299
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: like Brandon Coleman have played well. The free agent signings

300
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: like Tyler Biattish have played well, but the Steelers are

301
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: a little different, and they're coming off of a bye week.

302
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: TJ Watt at times has been almost like a little

303
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: tired this season at the end of games.

304
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: He's fresh right now. You add Preston Smith to the mix.

305
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: They're deep, and if you can get Jayden and Daniel's time,

306
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: we already know what's gonna happen. He'll dice him up.

307
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: There's no question. If he gets time and protection and

308
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: they blockwell in this game. I don't care what the

309
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: Steelers defensive ranking is. They're gonna put up thirty, but

310
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if I quite

311
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: believe in the commander's front to pass this test.

312
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: They got.

313
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: They got to just keep passing these tests as they go,

314
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: and this is the biggest one yet.

315
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 5: And this is what we're gonna see. We're watching video

316
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 5: right now of Jayde Daniels breaking pressure. H He's a guy,

317
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: He's slippery. I mean, he with the Harrison's you know,

318
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: to Lamar. He's not Lamar yet, but he's got that

319
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: evasiveness and he's got the ability to make the decisions

320
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 5: on the move.

321
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: Steelers haven't faced, you know, a slippery quarterback like him.

322
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 5: I mean, but you know, again, Washington, you could say

323
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: they do they have a quality win you know, No,

324
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 5: I mean in terms of like a stellar opponent victory

325
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: who they faced. So both of these teams you can

326
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: kind of say that, we know, the Steelers beat the

327
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 5: Chargers early in the season, they beat the Falcons earlier

328
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: in the season. But since both these teams like this

329
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: is kind of a okay, who are we? We know

330
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 5: the Steelers' identity. Washington's a fun team. We don't know

331
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 5: their identity yet. But I think the fact that I'm

332
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: going out getting Marshawn Lattimore, who I think will play

333
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 5: in spots. He's somebody who can travel with the receiver,

334
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 5: very physical tackler. He's not gonna know the defense enough

335
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: to play.

336
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: We'll see if he has the DeVante Adams magical hamstring healing,

337
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: because he did have an injury before this.

338
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 5: He did, he did, and I actually spoke with someone there.

339
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: I said, they have to figure it out. So this

340
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 5: seems like it's it's pretty legit unless mister Miagi comes in,

341
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: you know there gives some touch. But I think this

342
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: is gonna be a really fun game as well. I

343
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: actually like Washington in this game. I think this is

344
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 5: the game. Russ has been like so ridiculous the past

345
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 5: couple of games. Take especially throwing the ball downfield, and

346
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: this is a team to do it against that.

347
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: It's almost like he's due to put a pop fly

348
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: up there. I don't know.

349
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: He doesn't turn the ball over often, but man, he's

350
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 5: just been like like if he keeps it up, playing

351
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 5: like he's played those last two or three games all

352
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 5: right now, the Steelers, the Steelers, everybody.

353
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be, I think, an opportunity to find

354
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: out what things are like for because the season started

355
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: in Sandra's still Saint justus.

356
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: It was down the sideline over and over again.

357
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: In the past few weeks that's gone away and Sandrusel's

358
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: avoided a highlight until out of nowhere Danny Dimes just

359
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: runs over not just him, but his teammate as well

360
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: and collects an angry run there. But I think because

361
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: both teams players, I think in spots of need. The

362
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: Steelers for eight months now have been trying to get

363
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: a wide receiver.

364
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: Guys.

365
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: They go get Mike Williams, and so now there's there's

366
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: somebody on the opposite side of the field. And I

367
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: know the memes about Russ ignoring the middle of the field, Well,

368
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: if you've got two big targets on the outside, you

369
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: could kind of do that as well.

370
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: As the run game is going right now.

371
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: And then on the other side, this is the number

372
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: three quarterback scrambled team in the NFL, led by Jayden Daniels,

373
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: but it's the number one defense against stopping the quarterback.

374
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Round they go and get PQ. They draft Wilson in

375
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: the line. There's so much speed on the edges, and

376
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: then you add in Watton Highsmith there. I think on

377
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: the edges, this isn't going to be the mismatch that

378
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: the Commanders have been able to feast on all year.

379
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Fun game that Charles Davis our friend, yess, I like

380
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: him getting such an awesome game this week. I think

381
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Russ being as good as he was in that game

382
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: against the Giants before the bye, what was one of

383
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: the moment to the season.

384
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: You're like, Wow, if they can.

385
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: Really revive Russ his career in a consistent, meaningful way,

386
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: this team is going to be different. I feel like

387
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I need to see more. I think got a little

388
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: too much love for an up and down first game back,

389
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: but then he got into the flow and he was

390
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: fantastic in that second performance. And to give Arthur Smith

391
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: some credit, he's not doing as much of the outside

392
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: Zono's just like in the past, it's all outside zone,

393
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: all outside zone.

394
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: It wasn't really working all the time.

395
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: They're still doing that, but they're mixing up the running

396
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: game and then when you see younger guys develop. I

397
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: think that's a really strong point to the coaching staff.

398
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin, we weren't sure what he was gonna be

399
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. Now he's a great third fourth

400
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: guy as like an extra weapon, and he's maybe in

401
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: a spot where he doesn't have to be the outside

402
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: guy with Mike Williams there, that's great. Darnaut Washington's a

403
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: valuable player for them, Like he's blocking well, I mean,

404
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: he's another offensive lineman. Beeves, maybe he's making plays and

405
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: Friar Moot's a solid tenant.

406
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: So that to me is coaching. First.

407
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: You're in this system that they're just steadily kind of

408
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: building up what this offense can be, and I think

409
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: it'll be more problems to your point about Washington not

410
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: facing many great offenses lately, I mean, they've done pretty

411
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: well in some spots. Cincinnati they were horrible, but since then,

412
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: you know, Arizona everything. I'm really curious to see how

413
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: they do because I think offensively, if the Steelers can

414
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: be a top twelve type of offense and watch out,

415
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: they're a Super Bowl contender.

416
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: What's interesting to see if Pittsburgh canna be able to

417
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: keep hammering the ball like they have been because those

418
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 5: two linebackers are washing, If Bobby Wagner is still dealing

419
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 5: and Frankie Louvu, I mean, we can't talk. We continue

420
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 5: to talk about how dynamic of a player he has been.

421
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 5: It's almost like when rokwand Smith went to Baltimore and

422
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: Patrick Queen was there.

423
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: How that made Patrick Queen take off.

424
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 5: Getting Louvu and Bobby Wagner feeding off each other like that,

425
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 5: they have been dynamic.

426
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: I think that's going to cause some issues.

427
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm contractually obligated to bring up every time Frankie Louvu.

428
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 4: I'm sure name comes up.

429
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: Jordan rodriege Yes of the Athletic put him on our

430
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: preseason All Pro team, to the consternation of myself and

431
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: many fans who thought that was nice, little too rich,

432
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: and she saw it coming there. One last thing on

433
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: this game, I do think the Steelers cornerbacks Dante Jackson

434
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: and Joey Porter Junior are a little attackable here. Porter

435
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: makes great plays, but he also is a gambler. He's

436
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: out of position sometimes. Donnie Jackson has just been struggling.

437
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: So that's something I think the opponent's they faced haven't

438
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: really taken advantage of. So watch out for Scary Terry

439
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: and Noah Brown's had some nice moments. I think that

440
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: if Washington wins, I think you could see some deep

441
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: shots back and forth, vertical down the field, so much.

442
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: To look forward to in that game, a couple of

443
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: good teams. From there, we go to a team that's

444
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: kind of on the other direction. But then one of

445
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: Greg's Super Bowl picks the Buffalo Bills three and a

446
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: half point favorites at Indianapolis, who start Joe Flacco to.

447
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: Results.

448
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: We'll call them Steve Andrew Catalon See Barber and Jason

449
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: mccordy again, three and a half point favorites. The over

450
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: under is forty seven. What more can the Colts do

451
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: to have success, especially against the very good Buffalo.

452
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I see this number three and a half and

453
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: it makes me think the odds makers think either Buffalo

454
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: is going to play down or Indianapolis is going to

455
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: have a spike, because offensively they were so bad.

456
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: I mean defensively Indianapolis.

457
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 5: I mean they got dudes, I mean DeForest Buckter and

458
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 5: those guys up front. They look good still now that

459
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: he's back. It's helped out Quity Pay, It's helped out

460
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 5: some of these other guys, you know, Kennymore on the

461
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 5: back end in the slot, but they have not faced

462
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: you know, a scrambler like Josh Allen.

463
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

464
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: I think if Buffalo doesn't play down that four seems

465
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 5: like a real tight number.

466
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 3: I like Buffalo to go to Indianapolis.

467
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 5: I hope people think again the Colts are going to

468
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: give him a tough shot, and they might, but at

469
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: some point I think the explosive players for the Bills

470
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 5: show up. I think there's a question like Keyon Coleman's

471
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 5: availability for the Bills. But I still think they's got

472
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 5: too many weapons, and you know they may not run

473
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 5: the ball, but I just think Josh Allen's scramming ability

474
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 5: is gonna be too much.

475
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kean Coleman is weak to weak, and Sean McDermott

476
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: indicated it could be a while for.

477
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: Ke On Coleman.

478
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: I think he was getting a second opinion, which sounds

479
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: like they're hoping for a better Mark Cooper.

480
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: He's he's touching, touching go. It's risks for both of them,

481
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: oddly enough.

482
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that's a concern, and and that might

483
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: inform that that might be Remember another one is I

484
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: think the Colts have played a one score game in

485
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: every game this season against every opponent. So they are

486
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: they are the middle of the NFL. They are they

487
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: are kind of the the Dalton scale of an NFL

488
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: team where it's just like you can measure yourself if

489
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: you're a bobber below the Colts. And it's always hard

490
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: to figure out who Patrick roots for Steve, but it's

491
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: not hard to figure out who he's rooting against. He's

492
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: rooted against the Colts as long as Joe Flaco's starting.

493
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 2: Why right, I wouldn't like the decision. I would like

494
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: to see something else. It didn't nothing, nothing about that

495
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: game in prime time said to me that this is

496
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: the right decision. They had to get Joe Flacco in

497
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: there so that they could have a chance to win

498
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: this season.

499
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: That wasn't That wasn't my takeaway. I don't know.

500
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because I think if you are a

501
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: pass first team against the Bills, they're a team that

502
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: that's playing into their hair. Yeah, you don't want to

503
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: do that, and this is an ultimate team that you

504
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: got to just be patient, run the ball, and Anthony

505
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: Richardson would help Jonathan Taylor and help their running.

506
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 5: The Bills aren't great against the run. No, you can

507
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 5: play powerball against him.

508
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's number twelve among running backs and rushing yards

509
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: over expected. I think a lot of that comes from

510
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: if you total up the season totals rushes with Anthony

511
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: Richardson in the backfield, where there is that threat that

512
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: he's going to pull that ball, it's not necessarily there

513
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 2: with Joe Flacco, and if they if they have Flecco,

514
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: then you're going to expect to see those explosive plays

515
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: in the passing game that they just didn't didn't materialize.

516
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Michael Pittman is still not one hundred percent.

517
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: He's missing practice that he's played through this back injury

518
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: and I heard him speaking on Wednesday, and he's a

519
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: tough guy, but it almost seems like the team should

520
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: maybe step in. He's not who he normally is. Ryan Kelly,

521
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: their center, yeah, is out and going on injured reserve.

522
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: They are getting their left tackle back, Bernard Ryman. It

523
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: sounds like but Kelly might be out for a long time.

524
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: So this is a it's a banged up team on

525
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: top of everything else. That's not a good sign. I

526
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: did want to note the Bills signed a couple defensive

527
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: tackles this week with bounced around the league, Quintin Jefferson

528
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: and Jordan Phillips. But that's sort of proving your point

529
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: about they aren't feeling good about stopping the run when

530
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: you're signing to journey man at this point in the

531
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: season and hoping that they can help out.

532
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not going to be like the Rams

533
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: Dolphins game or the Steelers Washington game.

534
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: No.

535
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: Shout out to Greg Russo, by the way, one of

536
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: the best developmental stories I think in the league, improved

537
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: every single season. I'm gonna like seeing him on the

538
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: fast track there in Indie. Watch out for a big

539
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: game there. I also think James Cook has just been

540
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: fantastic this year picking up extra yards. We're gonna take

541
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: a quick break in return for Yes, the Mike Turico,

542
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth Sunday Night or it's a fun one.

543
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 4: It's fun on Sunday Night, BEFO.

544
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: When you see teams that just haven't been there though

545
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: years and Detroit. We're starting to get used to Houston

546
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: not as much. These two teams. They kind of remind

547
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: me of each other. That Houston is on this track

548
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: that Detroit's been on maybe one year longer. But they're

549
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: they're hitting some turbulence right now.

550
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, turbulence is the only way to get there, the

551
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: only way to get If this game happens in week two,

552
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: it's it's pandemonium. We're going nuts. The Texans on a

553
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: little bit of a down stretch, but it's time. It's

554
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: time for the game of the Week presented by DraftKings Sportsbook.

555
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions three and a half point favorite on

556
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: the road against those Houston Texans. My Tarrico, Chris Collinsworth,

557
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: Melissa Stark on the call, they'll have a song before

558
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: the game.

559
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: Everything created.

560
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: But then, Greg, this Houston Texans offensive line will have

561
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: to protect CJ.

562
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: Strout, something they have not been able to do.

563
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: You know, this is the matchup where they can.

564
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 3: Though.

565
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: It's interesting, as good of a team that as the

566
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: Lions are, and I like them, pick up of Zadaria

567
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: Smith and big time he can. He can step in

568
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: right away and play minutes for them. I don't think

569
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: he needs to learn the scheme for three weeks to

570
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: go rush the passer. They haven't rushed the passer well

571
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: at all since Aiden Hutchinson has gotten her. And it's

572
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: amazing that there's such a well oiled machine offensively, defensively,

573
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: coaching special teams that it hasn't really mattered. They haven't

574
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: faced an opponent that it's mattered. I think Houston should

575
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: look at this matchup and say, actually, this is a

576
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: front we might be able to get CJ some time against.

577
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: And if we get CJ's some time, we got a chance.

578
00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

579
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 5: And then and they've got to run the ball. They've

580
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 5: they've got to pound the ball. Excepts to play action stuff.

581
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 5: If it's you know, just CJ dropping back, they'll eventually

582
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 5: get to them. Aaron Glenn can come up with some

583
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 5: coverages to lock off some zones and stuff like that

584
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 5: and create pressures.

585
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what they have to do. He's had

586
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 3: to be very creative.

587
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 5: We know they like the blitzer inside linebackers Angelon he's

588
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: to help a player. I think they've got to run

589
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 5: the ball to kind of get it going. The boy

590
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 5: the three and a half on this is interesting. I

591
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: think Houston's been embarrassed. I think they're going to tighten

592
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 5: it up this week. I actually like the Texans to

593
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 5: win this one. Wow, all right, I do because I think,

594
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 5: you know, as great as the Lions offense is playing

595
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 5: right now too, matchup wise, this is good man, because

596
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 5: you know how much the Lions they could pound the

597
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 5: ball with Montgomery Gibbs. They constet up to play action

598
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 5: golf hasn't been asked to do too much. I just

599
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: think this is a game where Houston's scoring enough points

600
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 5: as to where it's gonna be.

601
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: The golf versus c J. Stroud show One thing that

602
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: will help CJ.

603
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: Stroud still waiting heard from head coach Tomico Ryans Nico

604
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: Collins could come back.

605
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: They're going to monitor him this week. CJ.

606
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: Strauda is a higher passer rating, completion percentage by arts

607
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: per attempt generated, more EPA. Of course, all those things

608
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: seem obvious, but to look just at the difference with

609
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: Nico Collins on the field versus Nico Collins, it is significant.

610
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 2: I think it makes some of those offensive line issues

611
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: not go away, but just a little bit easier to

612
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: deal with. When you've got this giant gainer of yards

613
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: and capture of football, giant human being out there to

614
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: throw the football.

615
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: Well, and we don't know that he's coming back. He

616
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: was not at practice on Wednesday. They activated him. He

617
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: supposedly as a decent chance to play this week. So

618
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: that is something big to check. Because you're right, we

619
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: kind of group that trio receivers together at the beginning

620
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: of the year, and then you realize, no, it's more

621
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: like Justin Jefferson and the other good receivers like Jordan

622
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: Addison on the Viking. There's a big gap between one

623
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: and two and CJ loves that dude.

624
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: That's his guy.

625
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 1: It's a good point that Detroit, for as good as

626
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: their offense is, I think this is actually their toughest

627
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: test of a defense that they faced. Will Anderson missed

628
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice, that's concerning, but he hasn't really missed game time,

629
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: so I don't think that will be a problem. The

630
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: bad news for the Texans zo is that in the

631
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: rest of the league, frankly, the Lions are getting healthier.

632
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 4: They're getting Jamison Williams back.

633
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: Now he hasn't been hurt, he's out of suspension, but

634
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: he's coming back on the field this week. They got

635
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith in the trade, and then they actually started

636
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: the practice window for Melafon, who's a good safety, and

637
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Moseley, who's a guy who's gonna get snaps for

638
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: them at cornerback. We don't know if they'll return this week,

639
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: but they're getting some reinforcements. For a team that's really

640
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: passed every test, this is another one. It's like they've

641
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: had so many games where they've had to be up.

642
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: This is a at a conference game on the road.

643
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: They've just passed every test though, where they pretty much

644
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: are playing their A minus game every week. That's really

645
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: hard to do and they've done it.

646
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: I'm so glad you mentioned the secondary. I love some

647
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: of the young safeties, you know, Jalen Petrie, who's a

648
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 5: superstar for Houston.

649
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: But Kirby Joseph, Yeah, I mean he's a ballhawk, we know.

650
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 5: I mean he game to fame last year because Matthew

651
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 5: Stafford said, you know, he hit uh who's the tight end?

652
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: Hit him low? And he still hasn't come back for

653
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: the Rams this year. Tyler Hagby, Tyler Hagby, Right.

654
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 5: Higbees come, I thank you for searching the roller deck.

655
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: So the old man here keeps forgetting. But Kirby Joseph

656
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: is a hell of a player, and he's somebody.

657
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 5: If Nico Collins comes back and really starts to play

658
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: that stuff where he's run up the hash marks like

659
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 5: he does that, we could see some really good matchups.

660
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they get Brian Branch to presumably come back

661
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: and play a full game. He apologized for the double Bird,

662
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: which gave us an opportunity to talk about the storied

663
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: history of the double bird.

664
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 3: Oh yeah on the Sunday Recap show. But a lot

665
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: of good.

666
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the double birds were happening in Houston back with

667
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: Bud Adams Cox.

668
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: Bryan Cox still has one.

669
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,000

00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: I know, Patrick, you're not into like the Okay, the

675
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: team is going to try harder this week because there's

676
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: more motivation. Houston does have four extra days rest, which

677
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: I think is a thing.

678
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 4: Yep, so that's nice.

679
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe in the try harder,

680
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: but I do believe in that good teams respond to

681
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: bad performances. That you're not gonna if you're a good team,

682
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: you're not gonna stay bad consistently. And I do think

683
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: that was the worst game that Texans played all season.

684
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: US and so I can't see them responding and playing

685
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: more like their a game.

686
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: And you can do that because you are a good team,

687
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: right and good teams can evaluate what went wrong and

688
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: you can implement the corrections, whereas bad teams tend to

689
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: just stay bad tend to just go ahead and wallow

690
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: in the l Let's get scot in the NFC South,

691
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: where the Atlanta Falcons are a four point favorite against

692
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: the Dennis Allen less New Orleans saintsy over under forty six.

693
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: Joe Davis g read can pay him Oliver on the call.

694
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: Do the Saints get the we fired our coach and

695
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: we like the next guy better bump Steve.

696
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 5: They'll get They'll get a bump. And not only that,

697
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 5: you know, but Derek Carr's got to come out and

698
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 5: you know, get Mike Thomas off of his back as well.

699
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 5: Mike Thomas came off with a few US gun missiles

700
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 5: after that game.

701
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: Look this is I mean, I know, I know it's.

702
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: I was during the game that was like, hey, he.

703
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: That wait, he's gonna watch He's gonna let you know

704
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: how look it's four points.

705
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 5: These guys always play close games. Atlanta is really rolling me.

706
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: Kirk O. Kirko is playing good. We know the Saints

707
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: defense is just not what it was.

708
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 5: The way they're running the ball getting now they're getting

709
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 5: you know, Kyle Pitts engaged.

710
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: But I just think it's gonna be a close game.

711
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 5: I think the Saints will get some type of spike,

712
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 5: you know, because it's always just players. I've seen this forever.

713
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 5: Oh man, now it's on us. We can't we don't

714
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 5: have anyone else to play him. They fired the head coach,

715
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 5: you know, and the Saints don't like to do.

716
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: That, especially this one, because I think this one applies

717
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: more for the fired coach principal than almost any I

718
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: can ever remember, because the players fired their coach.

719
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: The players fired them.

720
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 5: That's how I I've been trying for years.

721
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not just through their play, but you know,

722
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: through communication with the highest levels. I think they helped.

723
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: So they're gonna Saints falcons. I saw this tweet. You

724
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: know what you can do after after the election. One

725
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: of one of the options you have, and one of

726
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: them was making impulsive and self destruction, self destructive major

727
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: life decision. I don't know if I want to do that,

728
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: but I think I might just pick the Saints at

729
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: least this week. That's my version of a self destructive

730
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: leg because I believe in the fired coach principal enough

731
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: more than ever. And in this matchup, this this is

732
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: their super Bowl, it's their super Bowl. And you know

733
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: when they played the first time around, that was a

734
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: crazy game where the lead changed hands a couple of

735
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: times in the last minute of the game.

736
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 4: And that's just how these these two teams roll.

737
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

738
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: I I would also like to make a rash decision

739
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: and pick the Saints at home.

740
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: I think, oh, I thought you were going to hit

741
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: the bottle.

742
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: The folks in New Orleans, you know, deserve the team

743
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: to play better than it has in the past few seasons.

744
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: But it's just this is not the same team, Lave.

745
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: They're gonna who said that he's gonna go through the process.

746
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: New coach, the interim coach we should mentioned, Darren Rizzy

747
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: says that he is gonna have Chris Olave go through

748
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: the process. Uh, Chris o'lave, the person is their primary

749
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: concern before anything else. Wickeds and it started to pile

750
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: up and and now we've got the ghost of said Wilson.

751
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: Mark has Valdez Scantling. It's it's it's really difficult to imagine.

752
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: And I know that the final goodbye, the final hurrah

753
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: of the Dennis Allen era is going into Carolina and

754
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: having Alvi Kameric get over two hundred yards Total's awesome.

755
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 4: Last week he looked awesome.

756
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: L you got Ak, you got Taysom Hill, you got

757
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: some of those prideful guys in defense. This weird things

758
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: happen in this matchup. We don't know about Drake London

759
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: and Grady Jared status, but there was good news for

760
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons that their day to day so it is

761
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: not long term for either one of those.

762
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

763
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm feeling I shouldn't talk you about to take the

764
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 3: sits now. I am no.

765
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: No, It's gonna be a close game. Man's will. That's

766
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 5: just how these teams play.

767
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: I want to give John Robinson a little bit of

768
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: love just because as well as he's playing, I think

769
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: you almost take it for granted. But this is the

770
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: best stretch of his career. Four straight games over one

771
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards from scrimmage. A couple of those had one

772
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: hundred and forty last year on that Falcons offense, his

773
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: UH success rate was below average thirty six percent, which

774
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: for a guy that talented as a crime this year

775
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: forty six percent, top six among all running backs in

776
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: the league. So he's making the splash plays, but he's

777
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: also just kind of grinding out those six yard games

778
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: and he's been fun to watch. And I thought Kirk

779
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: Cousins last week actually, maybe did he move a little better.

780
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: They had a few playoffs, they had a few play

781
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: action plays that hit. Now they didn't do much. He

782
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: was four for four for eighty yards, so it's still

783
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: only four attempts, but maybe moving a little better.

784
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 5: And what about Darnell Mooney, Yes, what about how that

785
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 5: dude has absolutely emerged. Him and kirkoh have that have

786
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 5: got that relationship going. That's you know, that's something to

787
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 5: watch in this game because he seems to be hitting

788
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 5: a big play like every third.

789
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: This isn't about logic, though, this this game, it's not

790
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: about logic. It's about passion, it's about the fired coach principle.

791
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: It's just about weird stuff happening when these two teams play.

792
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: And it's true and not not just weird, because we've

793
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: seen this collection of Saints players, even the ones that

794
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: are remaining, I know they're doing with fins.

795
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: We've seen them be successful.

796
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: We saw them literally have the most successful season in

797
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: Dennis Allen's coaching career last year.

798
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 3: Nine wins was the top. That's as good as that

799
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: was the scene.

800
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: How did he finish off that season and also start

801
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: to finish off his career by the Saint.

802
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 3: So I apologizing to Arthur Smith by.

803
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: Being disrespected by his own team, by his own team,

804
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

805
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: By James handing the ball.

806
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: I heard.

807
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: I saw James Hurst, who is on that team and

808
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: is now working in local broadcasting and New Orleans, say

809
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: that he thought that was the beginning. Maybe it wasn't

810
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: even the beginning, but that was a huge moment in

811
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen losing the team, which is ironic because that

812
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: was the moment the front office decided, actually, we're gonna

813
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: keep him. But yes, Jameis Winston. Don't apologize for Jameis Winston.

814
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, or touchdowns, it's difficult to come by in the NFL.

815
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: Our next game is the Minnesota Vikings, coming off of

816
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: that win against Joe Flacco, a four and a half

817
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: point favorite at the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were magnanimous enough

818
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: Greg to send them a left tackle after Christian Darrisaw

819
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: goes down. And now it's a time for the Cam

820
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: Robinson revenge game against his old squad on Fox, Adam,

821
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Mark Sanchez and Christina pink on the call.

822
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 3: How do you see it going?

823
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings are just a lot more trustworthy

824
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: in a matchup where we don't know if Trevor Lawrence

825
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: is going to be one hundred percent. He's sitting out

826
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: of practice, was very sore apparently after that loss to

827
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and he's coming off one of his roughest games.

828
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: He does not seem like the quarterback, and Doug Peterson

829
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like the play caller right now to be

830
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: able to solve the puzzle that is facing Brian Flores. Now,

831
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: some coaches can. We've seen it. We've seen Sean McVay

832
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: do it. You know, we've seen Matt Lafleur do it

833
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: to some degree. But I don't think this Jaguars team

834
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: camp this is one of those matchups. I was like,

835
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I've never watched the Jaguars Vikings game,

836
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: but I did check it has happened eight times in history,

837
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: every four years, so it's.

838
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 4: No different than every other matchup.

839
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: But the last time they played was was during that

840
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: pandemic year, and maybe that's why I've black black coled it.

841
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: The Jaguars were one and eleven. Who were the starting

842
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and lost that game? Give me a second, was

843
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon and Kirko Yeah, Mike Glennon was for the Jags.

844
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 3: Sorry, Wow, what are the drafts? Look?

845
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 5: I like the number. I like the number four and

846
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 5: a half. I like Minnesota to win it. The Jags

847
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 5: are one of these teams games that if they're able

848
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 5: to hang around, they're just gonna be a pain because

849
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 5: defensively up front they can give you some headaches. I

850
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 5: mean Trayvon Walker, he's a speed to power rusher, but

851
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 5: he's good against the run. He can really get on

852
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 5: a tackle. Josh Heines Allen's the same, a little bit

853
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 5: more creative in the past rush. But I'm just worried

854
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 5: for them. If Minnesota gets up early on them, then

855
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 5: they might be on the brink of saying which way

856
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 5: are we gonna go? Like, I don't know how much

857
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 5: gump shit I think. I mean they're still playing hard,

858
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 5: they're still competing in every game, but this is a game,

859
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 5: it's in Jacksonville. I don't think they'll tap out, but

860
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: I think if Minnesota gets up early on a fourteen

861
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 5: to three or something like that, then you're gonna have

862
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 5: some hands on.

863
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: Hips in bad body language as they try to get back.

864
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: It's I look at this collection of jackson and like

865
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 2: you mentioned, Josh Allen, Trevon Walker, we see and Andre

866
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: Cisco make some plays this season. I'll be at that

867
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: secondary giving up a lot of opportunity tankers Bigsby really

868
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: coming on. I look at this collection of players and

869
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: could see them contributing on a Super Bowl roster. But

870
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: together with this particular leadership group in Jacksonville, it's not working.

871
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 2: And so much of it goes on the shoulders of

872
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback. And now we're potentially looking at c J.

873
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: Bethard coming in.

874
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: It's just well, I don't think CJ. Bethort will start,

875
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: but they did activate him. I would assume to be

876
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: Mac Jones's backup should Trevor Lawrence not play, which is

877
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: let's just throw CJ. Betherd out there. Actually, I want

878
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: to save mccorkyll. I don't want mccorkyll against Brian Flores.

879
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna come back in.

880
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Kyled of Jacksonville, Florida, mccorkyl Jones. There we go, there's

881
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: the narrative Max starting in his hometown potentially why not?

882
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, we don't know about Lawrence's status, but it's

883
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: a little concerning. This is an interesting part of the

884
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: Viking season. They're six and two and I think there's

885
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: some real Are they really a real deal contender? And

886
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: we'll find out maybe later in the season, because their

887
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: next three games is a three game road trip. You

888
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: don't see that too often, and it's at Jacksonville, at

889
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Chicago, three teams who have offensive issues that

890
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: I think Brian Flores and this defense match up well against.

891
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if they win all three, but there's

892
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: certainly a chance. And then you're looking at they could

893
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: be nine to two, maybe worst case, they're eight and

894
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: three heading into the stretch run, and they're still in

895
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: a real nice spot even if Sam Donald's not playing

896
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: the well. Sam Donald's having a lot of turnover worthy

897
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: plays the last four weeks among the league leaders, and

898
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: yet I don't know if it's gonna matter in the.

899
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 5: He's got Justin Jefferson man, I mean you sa I mean,

900
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 5: and then not Howkinson's coming back, I mean Aaron Jones.

901
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 5: They're starting to open things up a little bit. But

902
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 5: I'm glad you bought up the point about the schedule

903
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 5: because a three game roadie against teams that you know

904
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 5: you don't necessarily get up for, right, that's a test, Okay,

905
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 5: that is significant mental test of a young team, a

906
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 5: quarterback who's finally starting to hit his strike, to see

907
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 5: if they're real right. The good teams handle that even

908
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 5: if they've got a gut out the win.

909
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 3: So this is a good mental test to see where

910
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 3: they are.

911
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 5: The Cam Robinson game, he played really good after being

912
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 5: with that team for like three days last week, I

913
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 5: mean I and again getting Hockinson back. I think I

914
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 5: love the point you made about this is not necessarily

915
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 5: the tough part of their schedule. This is the mentally

916
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 5: challenging part of the schedules. See how good they are.

917
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: There's some secret Kevin O'Connell sawce that we saw with

918
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 2: the pastor up dudes good last year. And then Cam

919
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: Robinson plays all seventy one snaps, just gives up one snap,

920
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: one sack after just showing up. This is something that

921
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell can do.

922
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: About not to get ahead of ourselves here before we talk,

923
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: you know, Bears later. But as as all the heat

924
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: that's on Eberfloss, he looks even worse because he's in

925
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: this division with three great coaches. Yeah, I mean, this

926
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: is a tough division coaches.

927
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: So we'll get to the Chicago Bears coming up here

928
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: as we go by spread. The next biggest one is

929
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers five and a half

930
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 2: point favorites. Don't get that number man at the Tampa

931
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers who took the reigning undefeated Super Bowl champion

932
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs to the wire on overtime. Perhaps uh

933
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: maybe some lingering effects there, as it was overtime in

934
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: the rain. Either way, five and a half point favorites

935
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 2: is San Francisco. The over under is fifty and a half.

936
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: Kevin Burkhart, some dude named Tom and Aaron Andrews and

937
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: another guy, Tom Rinaldi on the call, Steve with the

938
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: potential of Christian McCaffrey coming back.

939
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I am good. I'm sitting here right now

940
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 5: like Tampa can win this game. And when I say

941
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 5: the five and a half, I think that is a big,

942
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 5: big spread for this game. Yeah, it's a short way

943
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 5: for Tampa, but they're playing at home. San Francisco's got

944
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 5: to go across the country watching.

945
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: It as a viewer.

946
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 5: Okay, how if Christian McCaffrey comes back, what's the rotation

947
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 5: gonna be. Are they gonna go Jordan Mation early and

948
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 5: hammer the Bucks, soften him up for McCaffrey, or they're

949
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 5: gonna have McCaffrey come in and get the Blitz to

950
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 5: back off because is he gonna receive?

951
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: Is he gonna do this? And that? That's something I'm

952
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 3: looking at.

953
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 5: But I mean when I watch the Bucks and it's

954
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 5: like a weekend, week out thing, even without their receivers.

955
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 5: The way that they play offensively, that offensive line is good.

956
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 5: They had a couple penalties that really put him in

957
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 5: situations last week when they were moving the football. Baker

958
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 5: is playing well and my guy Kate Otten did he

959
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 5: make the preseason All Pro with heat.

960
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: And that would have been a tough one to predict

961
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: ahead of time. There's some good tight ends out there.

962
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know what Kate Hahn's are playing good for

963
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 5: a couple of years, But I mean the fact that

964
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 5: they stepped up in the way that they compete the

965
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 5: way they do. I think that five and a half

966
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 5: is a big number. I'm not saying they beat the Niners.

967
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 5: I think they could, but this is going to be

968
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 5: a really tough game for San Francisco.

969
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: I have a hard time picking this game, spread anything

970
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: about it. Because if you told me that the Kyle

971
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: Shanahan late season serge starts now, I'd buy it that

972
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: we see the best game we've seen all season and

973
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: they do win by a touchdown and barely cover something

974
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: like that.

975
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 4: You know, I hear you.

976
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: The Bucks are a really good offense. They're a top

977
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: ten offense right now. But CMC comes back. You know,

978
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: sometimes you lose track of the injuries. There's been so many.

979
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: Juan Jennings is coming back. He's a valuable player for them.

980
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is at practice limited in practice, but he

981
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: should be back. Their offensive lines a little healthier, and

982
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: it's a trend. Shanny the late season serge. All right,

983
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: let's go through it. Last last three seasons. November Guy

984
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: four and five. Three seasons ago, they end up in

985
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: the NFC Title Game with a ten point lead in

986
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter that they blow to the Rams. But

987
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: they were four and five in that season with Jimmy

988
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: g at the help before their late season serge. Two

989
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: seasons ago, they were four and four. They end up

990
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: again getting to the NFC title game that was directly

991
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: after their bye. Was the four and four mark. Last season,

992
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: not as dramatic, but they went into their buy at

993
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: five and three on a three game losing streak and

994
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: immediately went on a run and then went to the

995
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and really was the best team in the NFC.

996
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 5: Trent Williams and Deebo Shamuel, I think we're out for

997
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 5: all those three.

998
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: So injuries were certainly a part, but they are again

999
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: this year and so you can kind of see them,

1000
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: wow getting together.

1001
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 3: Great, that's great stuff.

1002
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: Greg rock Purty averaging eleven point four yards per play

1003
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: on play action passes. I know Jordan Mason filled in.

1004
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: He was leading the NFL in rushes and yards. It's

1005
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 2: a different situation when Christian McCaffrey is ye. This forty

1006
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: nine ers passing game improves because they get their running

1007
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 2: back back oddly enough, but so many times, even when

1008
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: they had the full contingent, the best matchup in the

1009
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: passing game was CMC. And I know folks think it

1010
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: takes time. He's coming back from injury. The reason he

1011
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 2: was out was so he could be one hundred percent

1012
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 2: and one hundred percent who rested CMC. It could you know,

1013
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: things could go wrong on any place, That could happen

1014
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: for anybody. I think this offense gets a whole lot

1015
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 2: better here. Here's a question. Is one hundred percent or

1016
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen percent? Because he did code to

1017
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: Germany to get some special treatments.

1018
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 3: Got the of Androgo special. Yeah, yeah, I'm not.

1019
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get it done here. You go

1020
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: to Germany and he's got it done.

1021
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 4: Yes.

1022
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: Shout out to all the Jordan Mason fantasy owners out there.

1023
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: Don't don't you know, be sad, Just be happy that

1024
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: it ever happened at all. You got like you got

1025
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: an RB one for half the season. It wasn't gonna

1026
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: last forever. I need that message today, Greg, Thank you same.

1027
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: Isaac Grenda, by the way, playing well. They have a

1028
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: nice little rookie rookie class. Before the I was thinking

1029
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: they've they've needed some young players to start supplementing all

1030
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: these starts, and quietly Ronardo Green, We'll see about Pearsaw,

1031
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: who had a pretty good game. They got the guard

1032
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: Poony who's playing like they got a lot of rookies playing.

1033
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: So good job by John Lynch in this last draft.

1034
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: Good job by you guys. In the second block of

1035
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: this show, We're going to take another break and we'll

00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: be back with the biggest point spreads of the week.

Speaker 4: Back on NFL Daily.

1038
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf is not part of the trade deadline spectacular

1039
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: because she was catching a bird over to Germany.

1040
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 3: How about that?

1041
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 4: Check her out? And now the pregame coverage.

Speaker 1: From where are they much Munich?

1043
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 3: To know this right, Frankfurt? The Munich?

1044
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, right around a few one hundred kilometers away from

1045
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: where Jim tom Sulla is the head coach of the

1046
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: New Rhyin Fire.

1047
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 3: Yes he is. So.

1048
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: Shout out to the international football Shout out to the

1049
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: global community, as we have got an opportunity to rise

1050
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 2: and shine and watch. Sunday Week ten kicks off with

1051
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: the New York Giants five and a half point favorites

1052
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 2: in Munich against Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, who

1053
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: got the win against the Saints. Rich Isend, Kurt Warner,

1054
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 2: Jamie Hurdaal and Sarah Walsh on the call. Greg we

1055
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: get the early kickoff on NFL Network. Well against the

1056
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers d defense that has seen opposing running running

1057
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 2: backs have success. Dimes and the Giant g Men, we're

1058
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: all about the ground game last week.

1059
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, their offense has looked solid the last two weeks.

1060
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: They've been very up and down throughout the course of

1061
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: the season. Hard to know what to make of them.

1062
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: But I'm not just selling this game because it's on

1063
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: NFL Network. I enjoy watching me a little Theo Johnson,

1064
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: a little moleak neighbors, just as bad teams go a

1065
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: little Dexter Lawrence on the defensive side of the ball

1066
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: in that pass rush. The Giants have some players that

1067
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: will make them watchable. And Danny Dimes. It's gonna be

1068
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: a rollercoaster against almost anyone, that's all I'm saying. Them

1069
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: against a bad defense, they could put up some fantasy numbers.

1070
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: Theo Johnson, I just a'm thinking it like they'd be

1071
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a streamer this week.

1072
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 5: I like this number, and look, I like what you

1073
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 5: said about Daniel Jones because last couple of games watching him,

1074
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 5: I know so much comes down on him, but they

1075
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 5: make so many dumb penalties and dumb mistics, Like he'll

1076
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 5: be moving the team all the way down the field.

1077
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 5: Next thing you know, it's third and fifteen and then

1078
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 5: he makes a bad play. But if they could just

1079
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 5: stop with the dumb fundamental mistakes, he would look a

1080
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 5: lot better. But that's what bad teams do. I want

1081
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 5: to say this about Bryce Young because Dave Canalis, the

1082
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 5: head coach to the Panthers, said Bryce is going to start.

1083
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 5: I spoke with Vance Joseph, the DC of the Broncos

1084
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 5: they played the Panthers a couple weeks ago. He's like, Steve,

1085
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 5: they better not give up on this kid, and if

1086
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 5: they do, someone's gonna get a guy who can play.

1087
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 5: And I was like, hmm, that goes contrary to a

1088
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 5: lot of stuff. He's like, Bryce Young made every good

1089
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 5: decision against our scheme.

1090
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 3: He threw the.

1091
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 5: Ball very well, accurately, but like he's not soft touching.

1092
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 5: He wasn't wiffleballing it like he was early in the season,

1093
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 5: Like he was sticking throws and he was like, and

1094
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 5: we beat the hell out of him and he got up.

1095
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 5: Every time he says the size is an issue. They've

1096
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 5: got to figure out how to coach around his size,

1097
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 5: Like that's something that's not gonna change or whoever he

1098
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 5: is next year.

1099
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: But they're like, that kid has got stuffed to him.

1100
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 5: You see why he was number one, So against his defense,

1101
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: he's gonna be up against pressure again. We know the

1102
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 5: Giants can get after the quarterback. But I like the fact,

1103
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 5: especially after talking to Vance, whose defense is really good,

1104
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 5: that they're giving him another shot, that they didn't go

1105
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 5: to Dalton and saying, Okay, let's see if he can

1106
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 5: continue to build on something. So they saw what Van

1107
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 5: saw it who was trying to scheme against him?

1108
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and saw Bryce probably Bryce Young, And I guess

1109
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 2: the emblematic of the way the season's gone for the

1110
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers. His best throat to exavierly get on Sunday,

1111
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,959
Speaker 2: it got picked off an incredible play swiping it away

1112
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 2: of the Saints and I'm blanking on the young defender's

1113
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: name there, but it was one of the plays of

1114
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: the day.

1115
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 3: I'll figure it out here before we move to the

1116
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 3: next game.

1117
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 2: But it's tough to think about this without the matchups

1118
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 2: of the defense. Ye, and you've got a guy leading

1119
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: the defensive tackles in sacks and Dexter Lawrence so good.

1120
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 2: And the way that this defense is playing for the

1121
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: Giants versus a very porous Carolina pantherny files that has

1122
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: seen everybody have success. And you know the Panthers sellers

1123
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline, Mingo's gone, they got great trades

1124
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: from Carolina, Deontay Johnson gone. The cupboard becomes bear. And

1125
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 2: as much as I want to pick Carolina in this game, Greg,

1126
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 2: I just feel like.

1127
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: I like him to cover at least, I'm glad you

1128
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: had that perspective on Vance Joseph, a man who knows

1129
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: a lot more and is much smarter than me. To

1130
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: confirm my priors, which is, I've watched these last two games,

1131
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: and I think he's played better. I think the thing

1132
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: that I've been most impressed that's changed is I don't

1133
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: think he's played scared. And I don't mean physically, I

1134
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: just mean I think he was very hesitant to make

1135
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: tight window throws, and he's been making those throws last

1136
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: couple weeks now, he could have had a couple of

1137
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: picks against the Saints, but I still thought it was

1138
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: one of his better games as a pro because he

1139
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: kept making those throws and he kept putting it into

1140
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: tight windows, and he had a number of really good

1141
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: throws and the decision making was solid. So I think

1142
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: it's encouraging. I mean, look, everyone copes differently. It was

1143
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: what it was Tuesday night, as the existential dread was

1144
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: building and the pit in my stomach, I was like,

1145
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: I can't watch this anymore. We had been talking with

1146
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: Steve earlier in the day. He said he was just

1147
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: going to watch Netflix and and find out as it went.

1148
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 4: How I coped was.

1149
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: I put on a little Saints Panthers and watched me

1150
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: some Bryce Young so I could be as ready for

1151
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: this as possible. It didn't really solve the existential dread,

1152
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: but it was a distraction and it was nice to

1153
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: see that that he I thought he played pretty well

1154
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: in that perform Yes.

1155
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 3: Very well.

1156
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: The player I could not think of Shamar Jean Charles.

1157
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: Who has the most New Orleans Saints name.

1158
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 4: I wanted to say Stanley John Baptiz, And I was confusing.

1159
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: I was confusing my random Saints amazing, bringing us to

1160
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Greg Drake May and the New England Patriots

1161
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: taking on fellow rookie quarterback the number one overall pick,

1162
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams.

1163
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 3: As six point.

1164
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 2: Favorite are the Bears after getting run out of Farm

1165
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: Stadium by Kyler and Company the over under forty two.

1166
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: It's Jim, Tony and Tracy on the call as excuse me, Kevin,

1167
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: Cookler and Darryl say they're not giving us Yeah, that

1168
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 2: would be nuts.

1169
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: The Patriots are on probation with Jim and Tony for

1170
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: about three more years.

1171
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 3: That's not happening. It's the Bears is a six point favorite. Steve.

1172
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: We have seen the highs and the lows here in

1173
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 2: the past three weeks for the Bears offense. How do

1174
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: they do against New England?

1175
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 3: Well?

1176
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 5: In the word to DJ Moore, I want to say no, look, man,

1177
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 5: this is gonna be a.

1178
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: Tough Give us a little more context of why he

1179
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: said so again.

1180
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 5: DJ Moore was asked on a radio interviewer podcast interview,

1181
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 5: has head coach Matt Eberflush lost to locker room and

1182
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 5: he I want.

1183
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 3: To say no, it was.

1184
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 5: Not It was not an emphatic endorsement. Look, Chicago, they

1185
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 5: got some things going on. I mean, you hear a

1186
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 5: player like that. You saw Dj Moore for whatever reason,

1187
00:53:58,840 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 5: I don't know if he got hurt whatever.

1188
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 3: Game. In a play against.

1189
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 5: Arizona Middle plays walks off the field like what is

1190
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 5: going on there? This is after you know, play, after

1191
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 5: the corner, you know of the hail Mary play is

1192
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 5: wave into the crowd and makes me saying, what is

1193
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 5: going on with this team? That's not happening in New England. Yes,

1194
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 5: they were soft when they got their butts kicked over

1195
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 5: in England, right, but they compete this six point number.

1196
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 5: I guess they're saying, Okay, the Patriots can't block anybody,

1197
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 5: and the Bears can get after the quarterback Drake May

1198
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 5: And I'm gonna continue to say it. He is a

1199
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 5: real guy. Okay, he's coming off a two pick game

1200
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 5: last week. He can play. I like this game because

1201
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 5: Caleb can play. I like these young quarterbacks. Caleb clearly

1202
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 5: has more options right here. I like the Bears in

1203
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 5: the game, but the six points I am not sure.

1204
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 5: And I will not be stunned if the Patriots win

1205
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 5: this game.

1206
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't either, because the vibes are that bad with

1207
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: the Bears that there's it's a really fascinating thing, how like, Okay,

1208
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: he clearly the coach and the players, maybe they're not

1209
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: all on the same page offensively DJ Moore and Keenan

1210
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: Allen even a Dunzee sometimes like something's been amiss there.

1211
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's just not being on the same page

1212
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: literally with the routes. And sometimes it's just they don't

1213
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: seem very happy. So when that happens, somehow that it

1214
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: does manifest on Sundays, like you saw it with that

1215
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: Saints Panthers game, like they had no business really losing

1216
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: that game, and somehow all the intangibles show up on

1217
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: the field. And so a team like that, that's not

1218
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 1: it's not like they're They're more talented than the Patriots

1219
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: by a good amount, but they're also not the most

1220
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: talented team in the league. Surely they could lose this game. Now,

1221
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: putting that aside, the Patriots, I think, other than May

1222
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: are the worst team in the NFL. I don't think

1223
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: they're very well coached, especially on offense, and I don't

1224
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: think they're very talented. So I would still expect the

1225
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: Bears to win but I wouldn't. I wouldn't take that

1226
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: six points. And I'm rooting for my guy, Drake may.

1227
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 5: Mre Stevenson getting any vibes from him help out the

1228
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 5: offense for the Patriots.

1229
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's always playing hard, but he also ran

1230
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 1: for sixteen yards on ten carries. That he's a great player.

1231
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: That just shows how bankrupt they are in their offensive

1232
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: their offensive line, because that's the way you would want

1233
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: to beat the Bears is running the ball.

1234
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they they can't right now.

1235
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 4: They really can't.

1236
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 3: They have they have not been able to.

1237
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 2: And I think a part of what's going on in

1238
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: the vibes situation over in Chicago has a lot to

1239
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: do with the play calling situation, especially in the past

1240
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 2: two weeks where you saw in and wins against the Rams,

1241
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 2: the Panthers Jacksonville targets balls going to Cole Comett. He

1242
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 2: had two touchdowns against the Jacks the past two weeks

1243
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: and the two game losing streak one catch for fourteen yards.

1244
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 3: That's been been it for Cole Comett.

1245
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: And maybe you know, we we just watched the DJ

1246
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: Moore decide to leave in the middle of the play

1247
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: where perhaps he's stepped out of bounds and he's thinking

1248
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 2: he can.

1249
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 4: Say it was an ankle he twisted.

1250
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 5: When I watched it, I thought he got hurt. When

1251
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 5: I watched it, I thought he got hurt.

1252
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 2: He's fully like on the bench before Kyler throws them.

1253
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah to Keenan Allen, and it's the you know, vibes,

1254
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 2: vibes aside, he's.

1255
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 5: A player right there, yeah, right there. See to me,

1256
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 5: it looks like he's limping, like he's pulling up.

1257
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 4: Yes, let's see he confirmed it or in iber flu SAIDs.

1258
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: And so like he's answering questions postgame, he's dealing with

1259
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 2: the fact that they're losing.

1260
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,280
Speaker 3: He's not feeling good. They're hurt.

1261
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on, but as you guys mentioned,

1262
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 2: the talent disparity is significant in this one. And I've

1263
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: been browsing Bears injury reports for weeks waiting for Jaquan

1264
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: Brisker and Kyler Gordon. Kyler Gordon a limited participant in

1265
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday. So there's the up. There's the vibe

1266
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 2: bonus for the Chicago Bears.

1267
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: But as one guy comes back, they're losing another. Andrew

1268
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: Billings has been really good for them in the middle

1269
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: of their defensive line and he is now out for

1270
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the season with the injury that he

1271
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: suffered last week. I was like, yeah, I was I

1272
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, they're more talented overall, but actually on

1273
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: the lines, this is a rare game where the Patriots

1274
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: offensive line thinks, hey, maybe we won't totally collapse this.

1275
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: This group up front for the Bears aren't great. It's

1276
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: week on week and on the other side, actually they

1277
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: might be able to get after Caleb because everyone gets

1278
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: after Caleb. And I'm glad you mentioned the Brisker thing

1279
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: because I'm really frustrated with how in the background some

1280
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: of these failures in concussion spotting has become. This used

1281
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: to be like a whole thing that people we talked

1282
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: about a lot. Takwan Brisker, after a play where he

1283
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: was absolutely reckless and you know, had a massive hit

1284
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: that caused this concussion, stayed on the field for the

1285
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: entire rest of the game. They never even checked him.

1286
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 1: And it was something where his teammates put their arms

1287
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: around him and helped him off the field. That was

1288
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: how obvious it was at the time they that spotter

1289
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: never even checked him. He ended up playing eighty five

1290
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps in that game. The next day

1291
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: he came in and self reported that was five weeks ago,

1292
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: and this man is not able to play football again.

1293
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's you know, just as a human, you

1294
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: really feel for him. But also we're not we're not

1295
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: doing enough to help these guys out.

1296
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they're they're trying. We're seeing some cases

1297
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 5: where it does work, and it's it's tricky. I mean again,

1298
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 5: you you've seen where they helped him off. They should

1299
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 5: have spotted it, but somebody else, I mean should have

1300
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 5: seen it.

1301
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: But the fact he's missed that much time, that's not good.

1302
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: They failed him, they really did. Oh man, maybe I

1303
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: will pick the do it do it dupid effort? Don't

1304
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,439
Speaker 1: I did last week and at the like ten minutes before,

1305
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you almost switched my pick, and then then

1306
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: they lost.

1307
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 3: You were exceedingly close. But May, but May, you're seeing

1308
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: the stuff with Drake May.

1309
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: I will say, it's see the old the old math

1310
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: and me would would point out like, hey, Drake May,

1311
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, like in this game, like who do you

1312
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: trust a little more? I take May, but I know

1313
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: the context that's not fair. Caleb Williams is in a

1314
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: very difficult position, but Drake may is showing what you

1315
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: would want to see out of a number three overall

1316
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: pick for sure.

1317
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 2: And now we've got a game that features, well, not

1318
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: the number three quarterback, a number two quarterback, as Cooper

1319
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 2: Rush will start his series of games for the Dallas Cowboys.

1320
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 2: This time he is at home and a seven point underdog

1321
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: against the Philadelphia Eagles. This game does feature Jim Nance,

1322
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 2: Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson as the Eagles get the win,

1323
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 2: holding off a Jags comeback last week. Greg, and now

1324
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: it's it's a divisional game against the Dallas team that's

1325
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: kind of limping to the halfway finish line.

1326
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Man, it feels like the finish line. This was bad

1327
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: luck for Doc Prescott to have that injury, Bad luck

1328
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: for Jim and Toni and CBS, bad luck for all

1329
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the country that's gonna be watching this in a pretty

1330
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: quiet late window.

1331
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 4: Is this the national game?

1332
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 3: Still gonna get eyeballs?

1333
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Sure, it's football, like it always gets eyeballs, but it's

1334
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: not my eyeballs. I'm gonna be watching one of those

1335
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: other two games. I'm not into this watching this Cowboys

1336
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: team and this Eagles team, even though they still eagle

1337
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: it up and just let a team back in it

1338
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: and stuff. I will say, like the second half of

1339
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: that Bengals game, in the first half of that Jaguars game,

1340
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: there was dom in football, and I like seeing that

1341
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: out of this team because it's been a while since

1342
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: we've even seen stretches of dominant football. And I don't

1343
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have a problem getting up for the Cowboys.

1344
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna love seeing a wounded Cowboys team. And they're

1345
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: really tough upfront. Their defensive lines playing much better. Absolutely,

1346
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Nick Fango is doing a good job, and we know

1347
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line is good even without my lot, and

1348
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: they've been pushing people around in the running game, so

1349
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I think they're licking their chops and I think they're

1350
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: gonna look really good in this game.

1351
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1352
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 5: Nick Surian is a type of dude who's gonna say, Okay,

1353
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 5: this and this and this, so let's go get at Philadelphia.

1354
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 3: Seven point favorites.

1355
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 5: The number is going to be bigger than that, just

1356
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 5: because I just don't think Dallas is gonna score.

1357
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't run the ball well anyway.

1358
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush Vic Fangio, the Eagles defensive coord and said, well,

1359
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 5: they're not gonna change their offense with this guy like

1360
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 5: whoa like that. That's not great because I mean it's

1361
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 5: basically said, they're gonna play pitch and catch with Ceedee

1362
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 5: Lamb and they're gonna get some balls at Jake Ferguson

1363
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 5: and that's pretty much all that they have. So there's

1364
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 5: some things they're gonna do to try to limit that.

1365
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 5: So I think that I think Saquon I know, Mike

1366
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 5: oh Parsons, right, I think he's starting kind of returning

1367
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 5: back to practice the possibility he could come back.

1368
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 4: He's he sounded confident that.

1369
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1370
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 5: So I mean maybe that's something to get Dallas' defense

1371
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 5: to play a little bit better. But the Eagles just

1372
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 5: have too much man. Ever since aj Brown came back,

1373
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 5: this offense has been cracking.

1374
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, very very good.

1375
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 2: They're getting good contributions without Dallas Goddard or Grant Calca

1376
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: Terris playing. Well how about that to the extent where

1377
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 2: it kind of seemed like, I don't know if Nick

1378
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 2: Sirianni had a little bit of heat for Holly when

1379
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 2: there was discussions about I forget specifically what the quote

1380
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: was about like he made his case essentially saying what

1381
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 2: the team's needs were and how he felt like, you know,

1382
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 2: the roster was in a solid position, So maybe that's

1383
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 2: what he was referencing. Who knows, maybe we got to

1384
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 2: go on the sideline at a home Eagles game and

1385
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 2: just yell at him and the whole Nick Sirianni will

1386
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: reveal that information to us. But they're using twelve personnel

1387
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 2: at one of the fourth highest rates, not one of

1388
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 2: at the forest highest rate, and in the NFL. It

1389
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 2: makes sense considering the way that Makai Beckton is playing

1390
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: the guys up front at Saquon as well, mashing it's

1391
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 2: it's tough to take the Dallas defense, Mike got or no.

1392
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 3: Yes.

1393
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of personnel decisions, how about some credit for Vic Fangio,

1394
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: who basically brought in Zach Bond and early in the

1395
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: offseason kind of was saying, this is going to be

1396
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: our guy, not the seven million dollar former Super Bowl

1397
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: winner Devin White that you signed, Howie Roseman, my guy,

1398
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Zach Bond, and he's been great and Nakobe dienas really

1399
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: developed and player they're hoping. So how he also deserves

1400
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: credit because his rookies are playing well, So Vic brings

1401
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: a guy in the rookies are playing well in the secondary,

1402
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: there is not a starter. This amazed me when I

1403
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: heard this. On their defense over twenty seven years old.

1404
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: That's a nice group.

1405
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 5: And if you can have those younger guys on those

1406
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 5: younger guy contracts and you're paying your quarterback the way

1407
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 5: you're paying him in the offense, some of those offensive

1408
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 5: linemen the way you're paying him, that helps.

1409
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: In good news for a jab Aj Brown, by the way,

1410
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: is day to day and was back at the practice field.

1411
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: So that was shocking to me because I thought that

1412
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: might be a long term injury. That's that's really good news.

1413
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: He might even play in this game.

1414
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, good news for everybody but fans of the Dallas

1415
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys who are just looking for for some simbilance of positivity.

1416
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 3: I'll let's go that next game the Tennessee Titan.

1417
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 4: Wait a second, we haven't talked to survivor at all.

1418
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:22,959
Speaker 3: And that's a great call. Greg.

1419
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I feel like the way that you said you think

1420
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles will top the number there.

1421
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 4: How I'm feeling about this.

1422
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: We haven't taken the Eagles yet, all right, it's unanimous. Okay, Yeah,

1423
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm willing to Cooper Rush not a bad backup, but

1424
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: he's not He's not.

1425
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 2: John with a full deck here in a season of

1426
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 2: NFL upsets, once we began to work together as a team, unbeat.

1427
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 4: We're on a roll.

1428
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 3: How about that.

1429
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 5: I'm killing survived the Kellen Moore, the Kellen Wore revenge game.

1430
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 3: Oh it is it is there we go.

1431
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: Wow, they could put forty up on him and then

1432
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: he'll be coaching the Cowboy next year.

1433
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 4: I can see it. I can absolutely see it.

1434
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 2: Oh, it would be a very very Dallas Cowboys thing

1435
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 2: to do, to go for change and then not change

1436
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 2: very much at all. The Tennessee Titans on the road

1437
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 2: across the street taking on the Chargers, who were seven

1438
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites after thrashing and picking off

1439
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston three times. Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilba, and Megan A.

1440
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 2: Levy on the call, Steve, where we have seen maximum

1441
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 2: herbo the past three weeks?

1442
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Does it continue?

1443
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 5: And it looks like we're gonna get will let us

1444
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 5: back for the Tennessee Titans.

1445
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 4: If you like to sen here, you're punching.

1446
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 5: Wow, you know because he gets gets Tully two below

1447
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 5: too and Khuli Mack and Joey Bosa and I mean

1448
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 5: this charge defense, this is you know, soon they've they've

1449
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 5: got to start to strike the national consciousness. They are

1450
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 5: very much Yeah, they're playing the sand division as a chief,

1451
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 5: but they are very much in this playoff hunt in

1452
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 5: the AFC, and their defense is getting it. They're playing

1453
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 5: typical harball ball smashing physically on offense. You know, Herbert's

1454
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 5: playing fantastic, but you know this this game here seven

1455
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 5: and a half, like what that's I guess they think

1456
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 5: that Jim Harbas is going to be a nice sportsman

1457
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 5: and just take it.

1458
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 3: Takes full.

1459
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 4: That's a lot for a Chargers team, that really team.

1460
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 5: But I remember nineteen points a game, and the Titans

1461
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 5: are not like I mean offensively.

1462
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 4: No, I was.

1463
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: I was not impressed by the Titans last week or

1464
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 1: just in general. I thought Mason Rudolph made them more stable.

1465
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: But they've got issues everywhere everywhere that and they have

1466
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: subpark quarterback play on top of that.

1467
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 2: But DeAndre Hopkins gave a salute. That's fair that you

1468
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 2: said he remembered them Herbo.

1469
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: So yes, they're physical, Yeah, but they're physical in pass

1470
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: protection right now, because that's what they're doing is throwing

1471
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: the ball. There's a stat called neutral pass rate just

1472
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: in kind of normal down and distant situations where it

1473
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: could be run or pass.

1474
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 4: What do you do while Herbot was hurt early.

1475
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: In the season, and they're establishing this team before by

1476
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: thirty first in the league in neutral pass rate since

1477
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the buye, they're putting it on Herbo's shoulders second in

1478
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the league. They've actually been as pass heavy as possible now.

1479
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: The way these games have played out, a lot of

1480
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: it is passing a lot early and then just grinding

1481
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: the other team down late and so that it's not

1482
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: no longer a neutral situation. But that is really encouraging.

1483
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: It's a lot of downfield throws that really works against

1484
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: this Titans team. The secondary is struggling, so they making

1485
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Herbo fun to watch again is one of my favorite developments.

1486
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: That said, they faced the thirty set the easiest schedule

1487
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL according to DVA so far, and

1488
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: this week is not gonna change that.

1489
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 2: And Jim Schwartz defense having a little bit of a

1490
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 2: corner safety conversations as multiple blown coverages went up. Doesn't

1491
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 2: hurt those stats, but the opportunities are there and he's

1492
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 2: taking them and hitting them. And you mentioned it, Greg

1493
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 2: before the buy six yards per attempt on downfield passing

1494
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 2: after the bye fourteen point eight yards per attempt. That's crazy.

1495
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 2: As herbo is throwing deep to Ladd, who was at

1496
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 2: Ladd Macon great rookie season as well as this defense

1497
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 2: continued to be solid week after week against the team that's.

1498
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know that.

1499
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,879
Speaker 2: I feel like they have a better chance of winning

1500
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 2: with Will Levis coming in versus Mason Rudolph.

1501
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 3: In fact, I feel like it goes don't.

1502
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 5: Well, I think this is just like, let's find out

1503
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 5: what he's got. We got we got the rest of

1504
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 5: the season. I mean, they were sellers at the trade deadline. Well,

1505
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 5: they've been tellers, you know, most of the season getting

1506
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 5: rid of their guys. So let's find out what Will

1507
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 5: Levis is because they're gonna be picking at the top

1508
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 5: end of the draft.

1509
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 3: So I think that's where they are right now.

1510
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: I actually heard, you know, Callahan said that out right,

1511
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: that this season is about getting a good evaluation and

1512
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,600
Speaker 1: Levis is interesting. They weren't they weren't saying that initially,

1513
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: but it makes sense. I thought Mason Rudolph helped them

1514
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: a little, but it was only so much.

1515
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did that work out? Yeah?

1516
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: They were just they were still extremely sloppy. This is

1517
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: one team that beats itself versus a team that doesn't.

1518
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: The one thing the Titans do well is they stuffed

1519
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the running game. They're great at run stuff's negative, forcing

1520
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: negative runs. So this is another week to just just

1521
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: let the Chargers cook, let Herbert throw the ball.

1522
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 3: The gust bus. The gust bus is getting healthy for

1523
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 3: the Chargers too.

1524
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 2: It'll be coming back, although I'd like to see Comani

1525
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 2: Vidal get some more, you know, a little personal bias there.

1526
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: Bringing us to our last game, the Denver Broncos going

1527
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 2: to Kansas City, where the defending Super Bowl champs just

1528
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 2: won in over time against Baker Mayfield and company. They

1529
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 2: are eight point favorites. Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, and Melanie

1530
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 2: Collins on the call, we mentioned nukes, remember the Titans celebration.

1531
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 2: Travis Kelce goes huge to get sixteen targets. You said

1532
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 2: the Homes and the Chiefs. We're gonna have an offensive explosion,

1533
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Greg you were correct. You've said last week that the

1534
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 2: Broncos defense might get exposed. You were correct. Let's go

1535
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 2: what happens in this game, Greg, because you know both

1536
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 2: of these teams.

1537
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 4: I think that Denver is gonna keep it close. Yes,

1538
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 4: I do.

1539
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna cover. I look at the two

1540
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 1: matches matchups last year. I think they can be instructive.

1541
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: It was early in the season that the Chiefs and

1542
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: Broncos played, when the Chiefs were struggling last year, but

1543
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph, who was running this defense, only gave up

1544
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: fourteen points per game in those two matchups. The second

1545
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: one wasn't close. The Broncos actually won easily. Like that's

1546
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: kind of been memory hold for me, and so I

1547
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 1: think this is a defense that could give them some issues.

1548
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious how bon Nicks is going to play in

1549
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 1: this spot against a really good defense. That's obviously where

1550
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: it could go sideways. But I tend to think short

1551
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: week for the Chiefs coming off an overtime game, their

1552
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: offense was on the field for eighty three plays, and

1553
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: so I think the Broncos could ugly it up and

1554
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: it'll be a close game in the fourth quarter.

1555
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 5: I have one hundred percent with you. And this is

1556
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 5: after seeing the Broncos against the Ravens. Like you look

1557
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 5: at the score and you're like, the Ravens just kicked

1558
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 5: them up and down the field. At the end of

1559
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 5: the first half, Boon Knicks was driving Denver down the field,

1560
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 5: actually threw a touchdown pass called back on holding. He

1561
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 5: hits that pass, it's seventeen to fourteen going into the half.

1562
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 5: Instead they have to settle for a field goal. Three

1563
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 5: plays later, Lamar hit say Flowers, it's twenty four to ten.

1564
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 3: Right. That swing changed everything in that ball game because

1565
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 3: bo Nix was moving the ball.

1566
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 5: He can run, he can hit the drive throws, you know,

1567
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 5: he spreads the ball out. He's making very good decisions.

1568
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 5: They're not gonna be able to run the ball very

1569
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 5: much against Kansas City and the defense that was just

1570
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 5: they got Lamard, right, Okay, do we run blitz, which

1571
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 5: is what they did. They ran blitz to try to

1572
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 5: stop Derek Henry, who didn't have much going in the

1573
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 5: first half. So Lamar was popping explosive play after explosive play.

1574
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 5: I mean they probably had eight or nine twenty plus

1575
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 5: yard receptions right there. But then the second half, Denver

1576
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 5: backed off and then it was a Derrick Henry show.

1577
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 5: I think in a game like this, and this is

1578
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 5: what I like about Kansas City moving forward again, I

1579
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 5: think Denver it's gonna be closer in the eighth. But

1580
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 5: the fact that kriem Hunt and the way they ran

1581
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 5: the ball against Tampa's front, against Vave and those guys,

1582
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 5: that's why everybody, you know, we kept we keep asking when.

1583
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 3: Is Kansas City gonna lose?

1584
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're gonna lose at some point, but

1585
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 5: the fact now that they are mashing in the run

1586
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 5: game when they want to is just another thing to

1587
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 5: add to the to the mix.

1588
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 2: You just you imagine the loss being in a slog game.

1589
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 2: Somebody tips a past the lone of scrimmage, because right

1590
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: now it's possession, possession, third down conversion, third down conversion.

1591
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 2: It's it's like a grind out final two minutes of

1592
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Every single time the Chiefs have the

1593
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 2: ball on offense, where this Denver Broncos team has been

1594
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 2: very very good at keeping things in front of them

1595
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: making tackles. They've only missed twelve point three percent of

1596
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: their tackles this season and a lot of those missed

1597
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 2: tackles because they missed thirteen against King Henry last week,

1598
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 2: which happens sometimes in decisions. You got os on eight

1599
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, this six three, two

1600
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 2: hundred and six run is running four to four away

1601
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 2: from you, and so like they just have to do

1602
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 2: that enough, stay on the field, maybe get their hands

1603
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 2: on the ball, because otherwise it's gonna be difficult. You

1604
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 2: can't run the ball in between the tackles against the

1605
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs right now, you just can't do it. Nobody's having

1606
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 2: success with it, and so it's all on Bo's shoulders

1607
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 2: to just run around where Drew Trankill is tracking everybody.

1608
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 3: But it's very tough.

1609
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Nicks is playing better. I think it's a good test

1610
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: for him. He's got a couple against some better defenses,

1611
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: because I think he's better than he was the first

1612
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:31,799
Speaker 1: three or four weeks. Sure, you look at the season

1613
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: long drop back numbers, they're pretty rough for them, but

1614
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: I think just eyeball tests and the numbers, he's gotten better.

1615
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: But this will be a test of how much better.

1616
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: I think both quarterbacks are playing better now. They're obviously

1617
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: in different stratospheres as players, but I think Patrick Mahomes

1618
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: has settled into this season and is playing his best

1619
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: ball now of the season coming into this game, and

1620
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: it'll need to. As I mentioned, it's a good Broncos defense.

1621
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 1: They're a prideful group. I don't think they're gonna want

1622
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: to get waxed again. And I think we're gonna get

1623
01:13:59,040 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: a fun.

1624
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 5: And moan like Sirtan will sit there and stick on

1625
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 5: Kelsey in certain situations. He will stick you know, on Dave.

1626
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 5: You're worthy in certain situations or d Hop. I mean

1627
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 5: when you've got somebody who can make you play ten

1628
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 5: on ten that also helps.

1629
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: Okay, So we've reached the end of the road for

1630
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: the Week ten Preview ten.

1631
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 4: How about that. We're getting through it.

1632
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: We've also reached the end of the road for our

1633
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: friend Randy Chobbs his time at the NFL. So, Randy,

1634
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: I want you to come on in here. I want

1635
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: you to be able to say a couple of words,

1636
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: and I'm going to say a couple of words about you.

1637
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 1: First of all, we're presenting you with a go away

1638
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: present here. We got the Dodgers with the patch on

1639
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: and the Freddie Freeman.

1640
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 4: Pretty cool.

1641
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, off camera like a real, real pro. You

1642
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: can put on a microphone here, Randy while I talk

1643
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: about you. When we were starting NFL Daily in July,

1644
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: and obviously Randy helped out a ton and was a

1645
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 1: big ass for the Round the NFL podcast. When I

1646
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: was starting NFL Daily out of nowhere essentially in late July,

1647
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: we rush that thing. Eric is on his paternity leave

1648
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: and enjoying a great and deserved time with his baby

1649
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: and his wife, and Randy was there with me to

1650
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: help launch this show. And no matter what time of day,

1651
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: what we needed to get done, if it's late, if

1652
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: it's early, whoever we need to get Randy was always

1653
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: I got you. And that's what he's been like for

1654
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years at this company. I think it's

1655
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: been three now that you've been with us and helping

1656
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: out and more than anything, just a great human, a

1657
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: great dude that ups the vibes. We're talking about sad vibes. Yes,

1658
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 1: we were talking about bad vibes on certain teams earlier.

1659
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: If you add Randy Chavs to the mix, the vibes

1660
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: immediately improve. He's someone that you add to the locker

1661
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,799
Speaker 1: room to get the good feelings so we will miss you, Randy,

1662
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: but we also.

1663
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:57,839
Speaker 4: Want to congratulate you.

1664
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 1: You're going to be producing some big time podcast as elsewhere,

1665
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: and more than anything, you're getting healthcare.

1666
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 4: So multi.

1667
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been. It's been.

1668
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 6: Honestly, it's it's crazy, you know, to making the jump

1669
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 6: here from where I came from originally kind of like

1670
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 6: being super intimidated coming into this and just meeting a

1671
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 6: lot of great people and learning from a lot of

1672
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 6: great people, and and uh, you know, leaving here with friends,

1673
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 6: leaving here with the new feeling of confidence, not necessarily

1674
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 6: feeling too small for any room. You know this, And

1675
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 6: I owed a lot to you know, people like you, Claybond,

1676
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 6: why everyone in this building who've given me just so

1677
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 6: much great knowledge, And I really, man, it's it's hard

1678
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 6: to put into words how how much this place and

1679
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,000
