1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Alright, Mark Cecil. Here we're in a crowded hotel lobby

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,199
Speaker 1: about to leave London and a note from our sponsors.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Just lost to the guy who auto drafted. Screaming at

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: the television again because someone who can hear you dropped

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: an open pass. Just drop your RB one for a

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: kicker Erica. Of course you did. I thought your fantasy

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: draft was a good first date idea. Please, you were

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: probably just blindsided by hunger. Luckily, Snickers is here to

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: pick up your sorry butt off the turf. Get back

10

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Ensas. I have joined

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: in a complex filled with heroes. Mark Secla, Chris Wesling,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: andre Um What is, hey, Dan? What complex? Sky Swords,

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Bega Corp, a corp that even dwarfs Our Corps. If

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: there was a corp off, I think the Sky and

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Rupert Takedown Rock in the NFL. I don't know. I

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: don't know if this place is filled with heroes. It's

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: probably seven or eight floors, thousands of square feet, and

33
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: there's only about eight people that are still up and

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: working at it. If anybody we're here, if anyone remembers

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the general plot details of Gremlin's to the New Match,

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of about what this place makes me feel like.

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of the nine nine Forgotten sequel. Yeah,

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean to a t We've just come off of

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: doing roughly thirteen or fourteen straight hours of live television

40
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and uh listen fresh as a daisy. And that's because

41
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: we have been pounding Red Bull West and I for

42
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: the last seven hours DrAk before until tonight. Yeah, we

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: had never This is a week in London that's been amazing,

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: filled with so many uh new experiences, and and the

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: week is coming to a close or on it. We're

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: on an airplane, uh in like twelve hours and uh

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: doing we went on a saight carry three. We didn't

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: I believe seven hours of live television. Uh and it

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: was really great, basically the entire Dolphins game. Neil Reynolds

50
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: and Solomon Wilcox and our boy Rob Ryan, who We're

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna get Rob on the show, our show sooner rather

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: than later because he is so funny. Uh So, yeah,

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: that was our Sunday and it right now it is

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: one am local time. This is Super Bowl late. Uh,

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: not quite that late. But here we are wrapping things

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: up the loose cannon. She's just waiting for the show

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: to be over. She's like, get to the games. You

58
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: we need to get to the games. But literally as

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: a shadowy League figure and Erica both right down, Dan

60
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: said at two minutes. But yeah, Erica is here. And

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Todd Metcalf on the cameras and Mark Brady's here, and

62
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: we are digging into week one of the NFL season.

63
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: For the sixth year, we begin our flagship program, the

64
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Show. So exciting and yes, could we have

65
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: Greg said, oh listen, it's you know, doing that all

66
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the sky Sports Live stuff and we got the flight.

67
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the year we don't do a week

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: one show. No, Greg, never an option. You know, they

69
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: don't call us heroes for nothing. We're true legends. Yeah,

70
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: we don't operate that way. It's more like super Bowl week.

71
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Hold my beer, I'm it right exactly. Nice. Wait, that

72
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: feels like a phrase that you would maybe bann a

73
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: week from now. Yeah, I don't know. I've been listening

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: and there's two in the morning. I have no idea

75
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: what anything will come out of my mouth between open

76
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and the next SESP. Not two in the morning. It's

77
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: grind to thirty. Every phrase that Mark bands becomes a

78
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: way bigger part of our lives, So please don't do so. Yes,

79
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into all the games. Uh from Sunday. Uh,

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: there was okay, and there was one game Thursday. That

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: means they're twelve games to talk about. Oh I'm sharp, baby.

82
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: I had a lot of red bull too. Johnny made

83
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: it all right. We go this newsroom. By the way,

84
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: the four or five editors here are literally horrified by

85
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the last five minutes of audio from the show. Don't care.

86
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. We got so much to dig into,

87
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: so we will start with the rc Scessler's favorite football team,

88
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the Klablin Bruns. We're gonna try and win it. With

89
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds left to go. Here comes the field goal

90
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: team and listen to this stadium plus go Nuts Bockers.

91
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Sane Gonzalez is ready to go. He's out on the

92
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: field where Mark Pete a little Gonzalez will have cold food.

93
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Put it down. It looks like it's gonna be in

94
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: between thirty three at the between forty three and forty

95
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: four yards. Gonna be a forty three yard field goal

96
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 1: to beat the Steelers in overtime. And Gonzalez is ready

97
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: held will snap snap us back Paul down kick on

98
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: the way it got blocked. Steelers blocked the kick UFA

99
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: and it never had a prayer. Boy, it looked like

100
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: they were off side a little bit seconds. Everybody has

101
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: missed to field goal in overtime. Jim Donovan and Doug

102
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Deacon with the call for w K are are Zane

103
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Gonzalez is forty three yard field goal tap with nine

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: seconds to play in overtime, blocked by t J. Watt,

105
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: who was all over the place. A crushing ending for

106
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: a Cleveland Browns team that seemed primed had a seventeen

107
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: game losing streak. Have you heard about that they had

108
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: to settle for one tied against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who

109
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: probably aren't feeling too good about themselves. Tonight, Mark Sessler,

110
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: we rode the roller coaster with you from Scott this

111
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: guy Sports set today. Where are you at, buddy? You know,

112
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I really wanted to see this win because obviously the

113
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: you come in after an owen sixteen season, But the

114
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: Browns are, at their core a very strange team, and

115
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: this was one of the strangest games I've witnessed from

116
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: the Browns in a long time. I think a tie

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, it's not it's an odd result, it's

118
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: not preferable, but this game looks so lost, even fifteen

119
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: minutes earlier, that the way that they climbed back in

120
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: and I think their defense, if you go back and

121
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: watches their defense was a turnover operation. Just made life

122
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: tough on Big Ben from start to finish and to

123
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: climb back in the way they did. This is at

124
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: a lot of new parts on this team and a

125
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: lot of young players, and it might take a little

126
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: bit for them to gel. This could have been a

127
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: lot worse. You felt good enough about your team to

128
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: start trash talking Dan and say, why don't the Jets

129
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: go out and try to tie the Steelers? That was sad. Well, listen,

130
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm in a psychologically damaged place. That's I'm pulling from

131
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: it what I can. It was you were surprisingly happy

132
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: with the tie, although it took a lot of luck

133
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: in terms of an overtime just a few minutes before

134
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the field goal attempt that we just listened to the

135
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Steelers at a forty two yard or and and that's

136
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: the moment where usually the Browns losing. You got a

137
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: little bit of luck there. I mean. The one thing

138
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: is you look at this game and it just did

139
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: not play to what the Browns said they wanted to

140
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: be coming into the season. Because you have Tyrod Taylor

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: completing fifteen of forty passes. Josh Gordon barely got involved

142
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: until the second half. I mean, they're the run game

143
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: never really got on track and they just could not

144
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: get other way. Now, the weather, it was a major

145
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: element for both teams, but Big Ben with three picks,

146
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: two of those were weather related. In my book, I mean,

147
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: it was just a lot of weird stuff happening for

148
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: both teams. Yeah, at the end there we were watching

149
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: it as the Browns go down for the field goal.

150
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: They're in great field position and they decided to sit

151
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: on the ball. As Dan said, they looked tentative, like

152
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: it was a page out of HERM. Edwards book. And

153
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Greg was saying, I don't like this. I don't like this,

154
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking it reminds me of like when rookies

155
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: say the game's too fast for me. I'm out there

156
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: thinking too much. The game didn't slow down for Hugh

157
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Jackson because the Browns are kind of rookies at winning,

158
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: so they have to learn how it's it's a new

159
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: experience for them. And you compare that to something like

160
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: the game seemed to slow down for Bill Belichick and

161
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: that Malcolm Butler playing the Super Bowl where it seemed

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: like he was able to see things coming and react

163
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: to him in real time, and hughes head seemed like

164
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: a spin And maybe that's just me. Look at look

165
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: at where the Browns are. I mean, they've lost so

166
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: many games in a row that the idea that the

167
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: winds right in front of them. Cameron Sutton picks off

168
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: that pass the past rush gets the big ben and

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: they get hit with the block in the back which

170
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: takes him out. A chip shot territory. They run the

171
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: ball and then and then clock it and then you

172
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: do not set up for a forty three yard field goal.

173
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: Uh in that spot. They're a little scared of their shadow.

174
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Was such a big stage and we should talk about

175
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers as well, because James Conner definitely filled in.

176
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: He got he got let Bell tight touches, over thirty

177
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: touches in this game. He went over a hundred yards.

178
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: He was a difference maker. But this is a bitter

179
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: This is a bitter result for the Steelers. One of

180
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: the best performances though you'll find all day long, came

181
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: from t J. Watt and it revealed a massive achilles

182
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: heel for Cleveland. I don't think they have a single

183
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: offensive tackle who can play right now, and that's that's

184
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna make you think hard about putting Baker Mayfield in

185
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: there sooner than later. I mean, these were bad conditions,

186
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: but what absolutely dominated Cleveland's front famous Steelers were the

187
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: better team. They outgained him by a hundred and fifty yards.

188
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: James Conner had a hundred and ninety two yards from

189
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: scrimmage in that game. So that's an outrageous performance by him.

190
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: And should you know that's the least of their problems.

191
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: The reality is if if you're the Browns and you

192
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: get six turnovers, like that's great, but you better win

193
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: a game. You get six turnovers and you win the

194
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: turnover battle by five. The fact that you didn't win

195
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: a game where your defense made that many plays, it's

196
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty hard to do. Here's what you had to

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: say after the game. The guy's fault. Disappointed for our fans.

198
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Didn't want them to go home without a victory. I

199
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: didn't want our players go home without of victory. So

200
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: we wasn't able to get it done. Didn't finish it.

201
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: But obviously a tie. You know, a tie, all right,

202
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: let's move on. All on one second and ten passes

203
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: over the middle by Garrison Smith Jo Dagger the Niners.

204
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith for the Carson the Meal down at the

205
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: fifteen and the Minnesota Vikings Big Kings of the North

206
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: have not only put Jimmy Garoppolo on the first loss

207
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: of his career, they start twenty eight keeen one and

208
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: all Kark Cousins passed for two touchdowns and the Vikings

209
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: forced four turnovers win over the Niners on Sunday. That's

210
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo has first loss in eight games as a starter.

211
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: And yes, Harrison Smith sealed that game with one thirty

212
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: five to play, recovered a fumble by Alfred Morris at

213
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: the two yard line. Uh Garoppolo finished fifteen forty sixty

214
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: one yards and a touchdown, but he was not able

215
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: to get it done. Um So the Minnesota Vikings moved

216
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: to one and one and oh and look every bit

217
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: like a team that is gonna give a lot of

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: team struggle. And Jimmy g greg is just the first

219
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and I think will struggle against this defense this year. Yeah,

220
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson really stuck out, I thought in this game,

221
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: partly because he's the new guy on that front for

222
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin. And Daniel Hunter had awesome games too, but

223
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: just seeing another true pass rusher in the middle. They

224
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: have Lindval Joseph who is a great run stopper. To

225
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: see Richardson who's probably having you know, one on one

226
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: matchups the whole day, which maybe he doesn't normally see,

227
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: really dominate. If you're a Vikings fan, has to get

228
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: you excited because this team just kind of went out

229
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: and did exactly what you expected. They looked like last

230
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: season never ended, except now they have a quarterback who

231
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: can make a few more plays. One of the most

232
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: fun parts of our day was hearing Rob Bryan and

233
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Solomon Wilcot's sort of unplugged in real time the reaction

234
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: to what was going on, and Rob chose the Vikings

235
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: as his big winner for the day, that they had

236
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: a great all around game against a tough opponent. Guys

237
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: like Brentson Buckner and this this rookie the forty Niners

238
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: have Fred Warner, both had big games. This is a

239
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: better defense maybe than we thought it was. Little Brenton Buckner.

240
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: Shout out the old Carolina Panthers, Mark, what do we

241
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: think about Jimmy Garoppolo, Jimmy g I mean, I think

242
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: you said that this is not the last quarterback top

243
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: ten quarterback that's going to get beaten around a little

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: bit by this defense. Such a consistent carryover from last year.

245
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: I thought Harrison Smith gave Jimmy g a lot of

246
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: problems today, but I'm not concerned about Jimmy Garoppolo at all.

247
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: He dialed. He still made a couple incredible throws in

248
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: this game. And I think the thing is that the

249
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: talent base for the Niners offense is not is we

250
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: can't just call them a great team. They're not going

251
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: to be what they did over the last five weeks

252
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: of last season. It's gonna take This is a team

253
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: that Stiles from growing to do. I mean, this is

254
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: as tough an assignment as any team had offensively. But

255
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: you're asking Kyle Shanahan to cook up wins every week

256
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: with Dante Pettis and Kylie used check Marky's good when

257
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: when out in this game. Hopefully that injury is not

258
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: that serious. But that's their number one receiver, you know,

259
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: try and Taylor. It's just you're hoping Matt Breed as

260
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: you're running back to me. It's just your county and

261
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: coaching to create open plays, and that happened in this

262
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: game a decent amount. But it's asking a lot of sand.

263
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: A lot of narratives get blown up immediately in week one. Uh.

264
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: There are a couple of cases I could think of

265
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: today where that was not the case in the forty

266
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Niners are one of them. A lot of people in

267
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: the football Gagna sent the we're ready to say that

268
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the forty Niners were going to contend in the NFC West,

269
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: that they could be the next big superpower, but maybe

270
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: they're not all the way there yet, and this was

271
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: that maybe a wake up call against the true superpower

272
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: that this team needs to grow both internally and get

273
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: help as the years go along. I will say, if

274
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: you offer another pregnant pause like that, a couple of us,

275
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: we might just drop off into deep sleep pregnant. I

276
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: really think the forty Niners have nothing to hang their

277
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: heads about in this game. I thought they played tough

278
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: against a Super Bowl contender. And if that George Kittle drop,

279
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: if that had been a catch, this might we might

280
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: be talking about a team that upset Minnesota. They might

281
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: change things in this game. They might have found something

282
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: in Fred Warner there when they get when they get

283
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: Reuben Foster back from suspension, that that could be like

284
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: you're a little running low on Fred's so to get

285
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: another Fred in the mix, and you brought up the

286
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Kiddle play. I also add that they left four points

287
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: on the field when Garoppolo missed an open Kiddle on

288
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. So I don't think

289
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Garpolo should be let totally off the hook. It was

290
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: a very tough assignment to be on the road, but

291
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: I think maybe a little bit humbling. And we talked

292
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: about it Greg in August, like this was the perfect

293
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: time for any quarterback really Ever, he was so sparkling

294
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: his resume, his paycheck, his dating habits. Well maybe not sparkle,

295
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: sparkling interesting And now there's a little blemish. And what

296
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: I my thought is lookout Detroit Lions, because I think

297
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Shanahan and Jimmy g are gonna do some damage in

298
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: week two. And by the way, that was Paul Allen

299
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: k f a n with the call let's move on.

300
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,360

Speaker 1: with the call Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yes that Ryan Fitzpatrick through

309
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: for four seventeen yards, four touchdowns. He added a rushing

310
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown for good measure, and a game teammate Mike

311
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Evans would call one of the most complete efforts we

312
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: have seen at the position what The Saints were transfixed

313
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: by fitz magic and the Bucks rumbled to win at

314
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: the Superdome. Mark This was the biggest surprise of week

315
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: I think the story of the day because it's also

316
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: I love Week one when it goes in and a

317
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: lot of times Week two operates as an equalizer that

318
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: adjust some of the big storylines from Week one. But

319
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: everything we talked about it all off season, Saints is

320
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: one of the most complete teams in the NFC with

321
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: this defense that can finally operate with a strong offense,

322
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: and the Bucks potentially this two and fourteen goes ship

323
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna get the coach fired by by Halloween. Instead,

324
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: they go out and score forty eight points and one

325
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: of the more pristine offensive performances we've seen in years.

326
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick left for dead. Uh that great season with the

327
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: Jets and bad and forgettable didn't play much in and

328
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: now has a game that if you're a fantasy head,

329
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: he probably wasn't in your starting lineup unless you were

330
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: a clairvoyant. But it will be tough for any quarterback

331
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: to have a game like it was stunning. Here's the

332
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: Dirk Cutter have had to say after the game. I'm

333
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: happy to announce the fitz magic is alive and will

334
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: quite a start. Huh, West Listen, listen a Dirk Cutter

335
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: who had to be extremely maybe one of the happiest

336
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: days of his coaching career, that effort and getting a

337
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: stick at the Shawan Payton even with a handshake in

338
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: a good game after Peyton tried a tough guy him

339
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: last year. I think dark Cutters walking on air right now,

340
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: and you know, one of one of the guys downstairs,

341
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: I think Rob Ryan pointed out, this is a different

342
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: offense with Todd Monkin calling the plays instead of Dirk Cutter.

343
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Get a little monk in love in here for for

344
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: that performance. Give me some of that monk and maybe

345
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: the Bucks have the best wide receiver quartet in the

346
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: entire NFL with Evans, Deshan Jackson who went wild in

347
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: this game, Chris Godwin, and uh, don't forget Humphrey. I

348
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: mean this is this is a good quartet. And now

349
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: you have O. J. Howard who is a factor like

350
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: today was to be a perfect example of what he

351
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: can be. Like two catches fifty four yards, a guy

352
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: who can make big plays. He's not gonna get that

353
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: many targets, but you can go up the seam. And

354
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: it's a wake up call for this young Saints secondary,

355
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: who they thought was one of the best ones in

356
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: the league. And I'm worried about this front seven. Can

357
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: they get enough pressure? They certainly didn't today. And it's

358
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: a season changer for the Bucks because we talked about

359
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: how tough their schedule was to start the season. They

360
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: now stole one with Fitzpatrick. They have to feel like

361
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: they got a chance to beat the Eagles coming up

362
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: this week. But even if for some reason they go

363
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: one and two with Fitzpatrick. I think it just shows

364
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: the talent that's around him. You do not want sixteen

365
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: games at Fitzpatrick. I don't want to hear that you

366
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: You don't go back to Jamis Winston unless he's doing

367
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: this right now, I know, but I'm just saying, you

368
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: don't want that for the whole season. To me, it

369
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: shows that there's a team around the quarterback that's going

370
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: to give them a chance to win. I would be concerned, though.

371
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: You're You're the You're the Bucks. You were the worst

372
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: passing defense in the league last year. You gave up

373
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: four nearly four d and fifty yards and three touchdowns

374
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: to Drew Brees, which happens to teams against Drew Brees.

375
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: But you gave up forty points. I mean, you're gonna

376
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: you can't be asked Fitzpatrick to go do this week

377
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: after week for all of his for every good games

378
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: he gives you, he's gonna give you one where some

379
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: wild stuff happens that kind of blows the whole game

380
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: script up. You hit out it a little bit, Greg

381
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: But and perhaps it's my brain from lack of sleep

382
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: and the fact that it's like encased by a thin

383
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: film with Tito's vodka and like service luge, but like

384
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: some of that room service mac and cheese. And what

385
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: what happened with the Saints defense? How could it be

386
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: this bad after being so dominant for large stretches of

387
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: last year. It's a good question. It's to me, it's

388
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: what changed. I have no idea what changed. It's so

389
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: disconcerting because this is a Super Bowl or bus team

390
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: that basically pushed all their money to the middle of

391
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the table and said, we're all in this year. And

392
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: what do they have hiding in their hands? Like a

393
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: susceptible defense. They have not been an organization that has

394
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: handled success that well. Like they have not been a

395
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: team that stacks great season after great seven. They almost

396
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: get a little full of themselves. And they were not

397
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: that dominant a defense. I think they've got a little

398
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: more credit for how important they were. They were much

399
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: better defense. They were like a good defense. But they

400
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: can't They don't have enough talent really in the secondary

401
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: to have no pass. I maybe do chalk some of

402
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: this up to Week one feeling more than ever like

403
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: a fifth preseason game for these teams. I mean, just

404
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: that are we going to see this from the Saints

405
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: week to week. I think there's gonna be some correction.

406
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that opener with with Drew Bledsoe traded

407
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: to the Bills. They bombed the Patriots and we que

408
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: and you thought, oh, look at this dude. Change. Such

409
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: a cop out though, like some teams get to say,

410
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: oh is a preseason game. Ryan Fitzpatrick, He's like that.

411
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying I trust the Saints took

412
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: course correct something. I mean, Sants just have to look

413
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: back to last year. They got blasted by the Vikings

414
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: in Week one and blasted by the Patriots in Week two,

415
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: which were two good teams, but the defense got much

416
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: better after that. Ryan Fitzpatrick, man, that is one of

417
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: the more stunning Week one moments in my time in

418
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: NFL media. No doubt for him to deliver that performance

419
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: on the road against a very good team. Wow. I'm

420
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Nick Shook occasional guests to the Around the NFL podcast,

421
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: and everybody pastrami at home? How about smoked salmon, slab

422
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: bacon duck confit. It's easy to make all that and

423
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: more right at home with Jule Souvied jewel makes it

424
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: easy to try cooking new recipes and cuts of meat

425
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: at home because there's zero guesswork and food is never

426
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: under or overcooked. Jewel heats food to the exact right

427
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: temperature and holds it there. Beef, poultry, pork, seafood, veggies, desserts,

428
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: practically everything comes out exactly the way you like it.

429
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: Jewel also makes a great companion to your grill or smoker.

430
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: It separates the cooking step from the finishing step, so

431
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: meats come out perfectly tender and juicy on the inside

432
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: and get that charred, crispy bark on the outside. And

433
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: it's easy to prepare these new recipes for a crowd.

434
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: If it fits in a large cooler, then you can

Speaker 1: the football, Clayton Fedulum scoops it up and runs it

445
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: back more than eighty yards for our Bengals clinching touchdown.

446
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: We might have our first nominee for calls of the Year.

447

Speaker 1: It's from w c k Y, Dan Horde and Dan

Speaker 1: Him bangles backup safety Clayton Edgulum jarred the ball loose

450
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle couldn't hold on thirty five seconds to go,

451
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Pendulum scooped it up and as you heard, took it

452
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: all the way to the house. And there when Andrew

453
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: Luck thoughts that he could have a heroic comeback uh

454
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: in his first game back and eighty three yard touchdown

455
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: uh and the Bengals per severe and win thirty four

456
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: to twenty three. A fun game, a wild ending, and

457
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: almost a perfect start for Andrew Luck. What did you

458
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: see from number twelve in this game? Was? I think

459
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: realistic Colts fans have to be okay with how today's

460
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: game went, and maybe even a little buoyant after this

461
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: game because I saw Andrew Luck who looked exactly like

462
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the Andrew Luck we've always seen. He did not look

463
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: like a guy who's saying any kind of arm injury

464
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: in the past. He played like the sort of two

465
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen version of Andrew Luck, who was a little

466
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: bit underrated and I think led the NFL and touchdowns.

467
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: But he moved the ball. They had a chance to win,

468
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, Jack Doyle couldn't hold onto the

469
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: ball inside the red zone with the game on the line.

470
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: It's a big win for the Bengals because we're watching

471
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: this game and I think it was twenty to ten

472
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: at halftime. The Colts are in control, and Colts looked

473
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: like the better team in the first hif and and

474
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: this is a team in the Bengals that a few

475
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: of us picked to the playoffs. And these are kind

476
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: of the types of wins you need to get to

477
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: go in the playoffs. You need to find a way

478
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: to try to get to five hundred on the road,

479
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: and you do that by beating the Colts the Fedulum

480
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: play and then Carlos Dunlop the Bengals d really stiffened

481
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: into second half. They deserve credit for that. Is this

482
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: how we wanted Andrew luck performance to go every week

483
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: fifty three pass attempts. No, I don't think so, but

484
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: I think it's what you're gonna get because of that defense.

485
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I i've he should be up there in the league

486
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: leaders in past attempts and unless they fix that offensive

487
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: line that could be an issue. That's great to hear

488
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: though West I didn't get a good look at this game.

489
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: But if luck is luck, the Colts are gonna be

490
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Maybe not victorious on a weekly basis,

491
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: or maybe a lot of games will kind of come

492
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: down to the wire and go against them, but that

493
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: is that's great news for them. Uh what did you

494
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: see on the Bengal side of the ball? Like I said,

495
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: their defense, especially Carlo's dunlap, came up big with the

496
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: game on the line. Joe Mixing ran better than last year.

497
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: Their offensive line looked a little better, and um, they

498
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: got John Ross involved too. He got a touchdown. So

499
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: those second year guys Mixing and Ross are a big

500
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: part of their offense. I will say Ross the one

501
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: the three catches, sorry one cash for three yards, that

502
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: it was the touchdown catch alone. Are we we need

503
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: to see a little more of him mixed in a

504
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: little bit more than this. He was only targeted two times,

505
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: but he's not the number two receiver, he's the three

506
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: Tyler board starts opposite Green. I I think the most

507
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: of pressing Week one results are the ones that look

508
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: exactly like the team was in the past, like the

509
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: same rightnesses and the fact that the two tackles were

510
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: struggling in her I know Anthony Costanzo is out the

511
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: fact that the Colts don't really have a running game.

512
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: It just it just looks like the Colt So hopefully

513
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: they can get out of that. That is a fair criticism.

514
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: Let us move up, backs up in trouble and sacked

515
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: and fubble, big scramble for it. If the Parathers fall

516
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: on it, it's your football game. Mcmixon, Eugene Robinson and

517
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: Jim Zoki with the call for w BT and the

518
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers smother the Dallas Cowboys UH in a win

519
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: in the season opener for both teams on Sunday, uh

520
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: Newton ran for cam Newton ran for fifty eight yards

521
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. A dominating performance by Carolina's defense, led

522
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: by Luke Keikley, who had thirteen sacks. He went down

523
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: with a scary knee injury. UH. That looked pretty bad

524
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: at first, but then I believe he returned to the game. Uh.

525
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: So Keith Lee leads the way as always. UH six

526
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: sacks in the game, Cowboys just two d and thirty

527
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: two yards. Uh. Dallas was able to turn it on

528
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: a little bit in the second half. In the first

529
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: half it was borderline pathetic. Cowboys had sixty yards total

530
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: and uh four first downs as Carolina went into the

531
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: tunnel with it tend nothing lead and I and one

532
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: thing that happened near the end of the half that

533
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: really got on my radar, and I was annoyed. The

534
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: man formerly known as riverboat Ron. Uh. Yeah, I played

535
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: for three points when they were inside the ten yard

536
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: line with I believe about thirty seconds to go. Uh.

537
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: He ran it once and then clocked the ball and

538
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: took three. But that to me, as I hated the

539
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: way he played that, I thought it was too conservative.

540
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: But also it showed Mark how at that point there

541
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: was no fear of the Cowboys offense and the and

542
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: the mindset was get ahead two scores and let our

543
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: defense taken home. And that's what they did. I mean,

544
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: you come out of this game if you're a Cowboys

545
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: fan looking at this as a worst case scenario for

546
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: Week one, because all the pronouncements from Dallas that we're

547
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: going to find a receiver with this young group, We've

548
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: got rid of Dez Bryant. We we've lost you know,

549
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: we've lost players. We're gonna find a way to pass

550
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: the ball. There was zero explosive plays down field for

551
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: the most part. Their offensive line absolutely, Mrs Travis Frederick,

552
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: this is not the line that we've been talking about

553
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: for the past couple of years. Ezekiel Elliott held to

554
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards. This is a bad look for Dallas

555
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: because you wonder how they're going to climb out of

556
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: this in the next couple of months. Yeah, if your

557
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: concern was about Travis Frederick and the offensive line, this

558
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: game did not help matters. They have a formula that

559
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: is similar to the Jaguars that built to play with

560
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: a lead. You have to pass the ball to come

561
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: from behind in the NFL, and you have to wonder

562
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: if this team can do it. At one point, Solomon

563
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: Wilcot's used the word ept, which I didn't even know

564
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: was a word. Don't think it is, But because we

565
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: knew what he meant, he said, the Cowboys don't appear

566
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: to be apt at anything, and that's what it looked

567
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: like on offense. Correct statement. Yeah, the A said of

568
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: inept or the synonym, I don't even know. I know

569
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: that Connor Williams is their second round guard that they took.

570
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna take a guard that high and

571
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: put him in your starting lineup right away, it's got it.

572
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: It kind of has to work, and it clearly didn't

573
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: in training camp. He didn't look great in the preseason

574
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: and he was dominated by k one short today. And

575
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: on the other side, if you're Ron Rivera, this is

576
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: your like, this is the ultimate perfect game for the Panthers.

577
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: This is how he wants to play. You're dominating front,

578
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: you're running the ball, you're controlling the pace. But they

579
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: keep losing key players every time they step on the field.

580
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they lose Darrel Williams today, their right tackle,

581
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: who probably returned from an injury too early. You lose

582
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen to another foot injury. Those are two key

583
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: starters almost of any team. They've lost key guys. Whether

584
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: it's that injury, we were watching it looked serious at first.

585
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: You can never really tell, but he was back in

586
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: there like the next next series, Alison, you have to

587
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: look at considering his foot issues, and you have to

588
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: a thing I don't know, is that his last game.

589
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: It's the guy that was pondering her time up going

590
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: to this year. If he bangs up that same foot,

591
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, at what point is it over? That's a

592
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: big loss. But it's not like if they would have

593
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: lost Keikley. Is a season ending loss. I think for

594
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: the team, you're not gonna win the playoffs without Keikly,

595
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: but you can survive without Olson. I think I think

596
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: one of the Damashecks Staples is the janga piece. I

597
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: mean Cam Newton is probably the janga piece, but Keikley

598
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: is right there one A and one bat cam Cam

599
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: is leading them and rushing though with thirteen rushing attempts.

600
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to do this week

601
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: after week. I know that's always the thing with camp Net.

602
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: Forget this, like what what's developed Kim as a pocket passer.

603
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: He has to be this because this is the most

604
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: effective Cam Newton. And they look dangerous. Yeah, they Their

605
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: defense looks absolutely legit and the new owner, Tepper was

606
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: up in the box and he seemed to be like

607
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: flying at the end of the game, as you imagine,

608
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: he might a little interesting little nug about the their

609
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: stadium with the old owner, Jerry Richardson now gone. They

610
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: take out the NFL shield logo at the fifty and

611
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: put in the Panthers logo has always been the NFL shield.

612
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: Interesting those like old school owner things. That's about. How

613
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: did that nugget get on your because I track everything

614
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: because I've been drinking a lot of red bull. Panthers

615
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: fans have been annoyed about that for years, so they're

616
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: very excited. I am super super If I'm a Cowboys

617
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: fan worried right now, I'm I'm so worried I might be. Oh,

618
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: is des Brian still of the same cell phone number,

619
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: which they should not call des Brian? But like Greg said,

620
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: when the game's on the line and he's going on

621
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is targeting Deante Thompson with the game on

622
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: the line, Hell no, that's not gonna work, and it's

623
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: not good enough. Let's move up. Flacco takes the nap.

624
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: He wants to throw looking left lops into the end zone,

625
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: looking for crab Stree. Crab Street makes the catch, don't

626
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: you get his freet inbound? The officials confer touch God,

627
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: Mike crap Tree on an amazing girl from Joe Flaco

628
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: w B L B A L S Jerry Sandusky with

629
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: the call oh Jaunty Joe Flacco not dead Wacco. Flacco

630
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: went six yards. Uh was eventually replaced by Lamar Jackson,

631
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: but not for any of the reasons Steve Smith or

632
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: anybody else predicted back in May. It's because the Ravens

633
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: were up forty to nil. They dominated the Buffalo Bills

634
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: and Nathan Peterman, who looked utterly overwhelmed. Uh. They had

635
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: thirty three yards and no first downs at halftime. Final

636
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: score three. Western New York will remember this is the

637
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: bloodbath in Buffalo West. Are the Bills as bad as

638
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: the final story here indicated, No, they will. I know

639
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: it because I've been drinking red bill here. There was

640
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: a reason why this game was banned from the lock

641
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: Up series this week because it was like, say, right, oh, well,

642
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm so perfectly contact that I took the

643
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: Browns instead. Yeah, so, I mean it's it's a tie.

644
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: I think that's half a luck, I get half a luck.

645
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: That's not how it works up. For contention. Still, I'm

646
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: not I don't agree with that ruling. Well, there is

647
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: a precedent West once upon a time locked up a

648
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: tie game, and because a lock is predicting a win.

649
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: But you'll fight this. I don't care at all about

650
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: the precedent. That Philly special Malarkey precedent has nothing to

651
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: do with this. It never seem to remember that complete

652
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: undressing that the Rams gave the Seahawks last December, where

653
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: the game was like forty something to nothing at halftime.

654
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: This was. This was the same d n A as

655
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: that game. The Ravens absolutely controlled every part of this game.

656
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks are out, Both starting quarterbacks are removed from

657
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: the game with like five minutes to go, five minutes

658
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: gone in the third quarter. This was I mean, in

659
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: every way possible. The Ravens just took it to to

660
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. Yes, the Bills have a big quarterback issue.

661
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: What a come down for Bills fans. It's funny to

662
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: think of the celebrations with the playoffs. I mean, you know,

663
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: they essentially made like Andy Dalton the mayor, just because

664
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: it helped them push them into as one of the

665
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: worst playoff teams of the last started to get a

666
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: little weird. After a while, it stayed weird. It's like,

667
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: that was a nice moment, but what does it really matter?

668
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: Because here we are Week one the next season, you

669
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: have Nathan Peterman starting another game and you're on the

670
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: other side of a forty seven to three score, and

671
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: you look at the roster and it looks like they're

672
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the league. Moment is

673
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: the perfect word, because what does that mean. Ultimately, they

674
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: went out quietly in the wild card round the next week,

675
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: and now they are at their lowest point again and

676
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen playing in this game. He really probably shouldn't

677
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: be playing in this game. But that's when you have

678
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: to wonder the decision making of this front office. I mean, uh,

679
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: you give up a draft pick for Corey Coleman and

680
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: you end up burning burning a lot of money by

681
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: cutting him. You trade eight D mccaren and I know

682
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: a J. Mccaren is not a good quarterback, but when

683
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: you leave Nathan Peterman, a guy who's only other notable

684
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: uh playing experiences throwing five interceptions and one half as

685
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: the only other guy protecting you from forcing you to

686
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: play the very raw rookie that tells me it's a

687
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: lack of foresight. So I'd be very nervous about the

688
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: people pulling the levers. And you shipped away Tyrod Taylor,

689
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: and you didn't do enough to fix an offensive line

690
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: that is and this is another one of these front

691
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: fives that gave up six plus sacks today. And now

692
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to tell me that you're gonna put Josh

693
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: Allen in there starting next week with an inept offense.

694
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: We'll see if they do well. If they don't. You

695
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: also have to ask what on earth they're doing with

696
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, right, I mean you, he has played himself

697
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: out of a job. They're damned if they do, and

698
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: damn that they don't. Nathan Peterman have fewer yards than

699
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco had completions today, and it wasn't all Peterman's fault.

700
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: They have built an offense that is gonna expose Peterman

701
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: as not good enough and probably get Josh Josh Allen

702
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: hurt or sacked quite a bit if he played. In fairness,

703
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: they're they're playing a really good defense in Baltimore, and

704
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you can just chalk this up to

705
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: that the Bills are bad. The two thousand and seventeen

706
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Ravens weren't winning any games to three. So this is

707
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: a different Ravens team. And I think it's a significant

708
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: Week one result because we've said it on this podcast

709
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: a lot. But you know what good teams are by

710
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: the teams that get blowout. The Ravens are off to

711
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: a great stuff. They are different because each one of

712
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: the wide receivers that they acquired, Willie Sneed, Michael Crabtree,

713
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: and John Brown, each of them found the end zone

714
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: in this game. That's a This is his promising to

715
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: start for any for any team in the league. Well,

716
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: since I count the preseason, they are now six in

717
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: the first week of September or second week in September,

718
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: so that's pretty good. We're in the Ravens desk right now. Baby.

719
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: Let's move up third down and twelve. Now for the Patriots.

720
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: After the fumble by Houston, here are the early minutes

721
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: of the first He takes the up, he throws it

722
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: look for Gunk. He makes the catch over two defenders

723
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: and steps across the pylon for a touchdown. Patriots Bob

724
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: Socy w b Z with the calls Zolak in Week one.

725
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: I think Zola got place by the booth. He just

726
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: wasn't just we didn't hear him there. He wasn't. The

727
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: guy in Indianapolis going absolutely nuts for the Colts, Well,

728
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: that guy's not around no ball. Well I'm talking about

729
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: the homer that was shouting as the guy was going

730
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: down the field. That guy, so he took out the

731
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: other guy. I don't know. I have no idea who

732
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: I am right now. Tom Brady here on the throne

733
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: of sleeves through for two hundred and seventy seven yards

734
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns, hitting Gronk for a hundred and twenty

735
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown the defending a f C

736
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: champions win over the Houston Texans. Uh, Gronk was a beast.

737
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: Brady looked like Brady and the Texans and they are

738
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: young hotshot quarterback to Shaun Watson looked very rusty. Greg,

739
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: you've been saying we should expect the different Pats team

740
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 1: this year. Is that what you saw on Sunday? Other

741
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: than Brady and Gronkowski, which you know we're the two

742
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: best players on the Patriots. Yes, it was different. You

743
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: have Philip Dorset as the leading wide receiver catching seven targets.

744
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: You had Trent Brown, a six eight left tackle doing

745
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: a solid job against jadev and Clowney. Uh In J J. Watt,

746
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: you have Lawrence Guy and Jawan Bentley and Malcolm Brown

747
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: and a group upfront including Trey Flowers who's been there

748
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: a while that really dominated this game. And if I'm

749
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: a Texans fan, I'd be worried about how much pass

750
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: rush heat you gave up to the Patriots, because this

751
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: is not going to be the best pass rush team

752
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: you play all year. In Deshaun Watson, I thought really

753
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: showed something in the second half by getting them back

754
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: into this game. Is not going to be able to

755
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: survive week after week with that much press here from

756
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, who was very critical of his performance. For

757
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 1: me personally, I think it was terrible on my part.

758
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: So you can just I just feel like you can

759
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: put the all on me, uh, because I'd be way

760
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: much better than than what I showed up today. Uh.

761
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: My energy was low and just overthinking a little things. No,

762
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's just me. I'm the I'm

763
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: the leader of the team leaders offense. So as I go,

764
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: the offense go, and it was just you know, just

765
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: kind of not enough energy, not enough pace on our

766
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: on our part. And uh, you know, I just hate

767
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: to blame. I take all the all the heat for

768
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: that and and just kind of continue to move forward

769
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: and you know, just give it from that sweep, but

770
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: just behind as it learned from. You know, Watson last

771
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: season had more time than any other quarterback on deep

772
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: passes and he created that with his feet. But you

773
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: can't ask him to just do that and make magic

774
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: when you have this line playing the way it is.

775
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: And this did not look anything like last year's Texans

776
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: number one passing offense. That was literally like shredding teams,

777
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: taking teams apart, and looking like the one team that

778
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: could potentially challenge the Patriots in the a f C.

779
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: It's I would be concerned because this is another incomplete

780
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: line for team in two. Patriots, Come on, what's what's

781
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: the other? They still roll this division and they will.

782
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: One thing that's on my radar for the Patriots, Chris

783
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: Hogan is some fantasy stud Come on, one catch for

784
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: eleven yards. You've been mad about this, You're loving this

785
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: din't spike in the football right now. Could come back

786
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: to haunt me. Maybe he'll go for a hundred seventy

787
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: five and two touchdowns like he did against the Steelers

788
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But the idea that Chris Hogan is

789
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: a fantasy a monster that game too, he'll write him off.

790
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: He'll have three or four monster games throughout the year,

791
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: that's what he does. But he's not like some fantasies.

792
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: It's a deeper Patriots team defensively, and I think that

793
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: means they're not gonna have to score as many points

794
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: and they're just not capable of it. This also just

795
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: looked like a week one game. If you remember, Deshaun

796
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: Watson last year took a few games to get going.

797
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: The Patriots for much of the game offensively, couldn't really

798
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: find open receivers. It's just a lot of these games

799
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: you're watching today and you're thinking both of these teams

800
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: are going to be better two or three weeks from now.

801
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: Is there any other Patriots team, Gregg, in your long

802
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: history of watching this new England franchise succeed week after

803
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: weeks that it reminds you of more of the early

804
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: two thousands where it's gonna be balanced where you're gonna

805
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily rely on the wide receivers. And I think

806
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: where the front seven makes a difference. It's so crazy

807
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: that maybe the difference is that Tom Brady's better now

808
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: than he was early in his career, like at age uh.

809
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: And I did miss. I have to say I didn't

810
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: miss what I sometimes I forget. And then a new

811
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: season comes, Greg's Friday or Thursday handwringing about how tough

812
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: his matchup will be against the Ham and Egger team

813
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and then of course a victory the vanquished

814
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: foe and Bill O'Brien falls to oh and five against

815
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: his old boss. This is pretty routine. I have to

816
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: admit it was not as close as the score. I'm

817
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: around the NFL writer Nick shook In Well, to be

818
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: honest to my closet needed a little refreshing lately, and

819
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: I turned to Indo Chino. Indo Chino is the world's

820
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: most exciting men'swear penny. They make suits and shirts to

Speaker 1: like your lapel, lining, pockets, buttons, and writing your own monogram,

825
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: which is extremely fancy. If anybody knows me, they know

826
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: I like to hit the weights and I recently lifted

827
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: myself out of my last suits. So when I needed

828
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: to make a new suit purchase, I turned to Indo Chino.

829
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what it has been. Everything I'd

830

00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,239

Speaker 1: the air. Hit it, pick off, hit it, pick off

847
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: on Miles Jack to the ten, to the five in

848
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: the ends o touchdown, Miles Jack gotta pick six and

849
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is extended the lead here at Medlife Stadium. Frank

850
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: Frangie and Jeff Langman w O k V with the

851
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: call yes. Linebacker Miles Jack scored on a thirty two

852
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: yard pick six off a deflection earlier in the fourth quarter,

853
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: and that was pretty much pretty much Yet Jaguars beat

854
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Room Pat Schirmer's debut UH in

855
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: the meadow Lands a win for Jacksonville. And this is

856
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: a game that saw the debut of s Kuon Barkley,

857
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: who did not disappoint actually bottled up for most of

858
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: the game but did break a sixty eight yard touchdown

859
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: run that got the Giants back of the game, and

860
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: that might be a lot of what the season is about.

861
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: Eli Manning was not able to make plays against a

862
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: stellar Jaguars defense and the offense in Jacksonville did just enough.

863
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: This is the recipe Chris Wesley the Jags, similar to

864
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: those last year. Let the defense carry the day and

865
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: hope the offense does just enough. Yeah, I really liked

866
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: Miles Jack and I picked him at one point one

867
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: of our segments to be a star this year. With

868
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: that pick six, I think he's well, I think he's

869
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a big, like maybe a Pro Bowl type

870
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: of player, just another one to defense is chalked full

871
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: of them, and that was a risky draft pick at

872
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: the time with Jack's injury history. One thing with Barkley,

873
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: so he has this marvelous sixty eight yard touchdown run

874
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: and we saw him do that against Cleveland in the

875
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: preseason two. We know he can break them and we

876
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: can know can get that done. But the rest of

877
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: his day was forty yards off seventeen attempts. It's I mean,

878
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: this is just I look at it the same way

879
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: as what Jimmy g and the forty niners. Jacksonville is

880
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: just a badass defense, and yeah, I I'm I'm pounding

881
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: the table that Eli is going to be okay too

882
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: good this year and this was not a promising start.

883
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: But again, I mean if we're gonna not kill Jimmy

884
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: g we shouldn't kill Eli. Because the Jaguars are loaded

885
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: on making plays and they're gonna do it all year.

886
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: That's all fair. I totally agree. But one concern I

887
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: think that Giants fans should have with Eli is that

888
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: he's developed this habit in the last couple of years

889
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: of he's a little scared and he let's let's go

890
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: to the ball a little quickly because he doesn't trust

891
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 1: his offensive line. And I think we saw that today,

892
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: so that a few times the pressure got to him

893
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like a fling and the helmet

894
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: kind of goes to the left and hopefully it's an

895
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: incomplete pass. That's almost the best case scenario. That's almost

896
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: like a rookie habit at a fourteenth year quarterback or

897
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: whatever he is at this point, should have. But that's

898
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: life with Eli. It's also the Jaguars defense. Yeah, Odell

899
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: Beckham also came back, went over a hundred yards, was

900
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. But they just couldn't get anything going. It

901
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: was a very quiet day if you're a Giant fan.

902
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: Not a lot to get excited about in this game.

903
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: The Jacks just looked like the better team. I will

904
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: say this reminds me a lot of of many Pat

905
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: Shermer games when he was the Brown's head coach. But

906
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see what happened. The only the only downside

907
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: here for the Jags is Leonard Fournette went out with

908
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury early and it's early in his career,

909
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: but these hamstring injuries keep happening to him, and the

910
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: more that they keep happening to him, the Jaguars just

911
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: aren't going to be able to run the type of

912
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: start to worry that for that is just one of

913
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: those guys. One of my favorite elements of doing the

914
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: live hits downstairs with the large production team that we

915
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: had really never worked with before was then probably listening

916
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: to Dan on the mic do his jeam throughout the

917
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: day and then anointing other teams like the Redskins doing well,

918
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: the r men and all this. I mean, they probably

919
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: just thought we were psychotics. Yeah, And keep an eye

920
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: on the Jags defense was key. Absolutely keep an eye

921
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: on that offense. They got to do more. Though they

922
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: gained three hundred ten yards in total offense, they didn't

923
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: even score uh until the second half. And they also

924
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: committed eleven penalties for a hundred and nineteen yards. So

925
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: not a perfect effort by the Jaguars, but one side

926
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: of the team is so damn good that it can

927
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: carry the day. How about Tom Coughlin's r evenge stick

928
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: it revenge for what you're firing for firing him? Right,

929
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: you're the one that wants for Tom coflin. I don't know.

930
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Backt deep is Tyreek Hill for Kansas

931
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: City back pedals, takes it at his own ten and

932
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: wants a left return, gets two blocks, gets up to

933
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: the fifteen A tax it left twenty, he said the thirty.

934
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: The Cheetahs loves forty at midfielder goes to cheataty fifteen

935
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: ten four touchdown Kansas City Lark didn't take long for

936
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: the Cheatah to unleash love. Mitch Holtis of k c

937
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: f X with the call Tyreek Hill, my goodness. The

938
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: Human Joysticks scored three touchdowns and Patrick Mahomes was a

939
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: monster in his debut, was the chief starter four scores

940
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: of his own. The Chiefs a win over Greg Rosenthal's

941
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers Hill ninety one yard punt return for

942
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: a TV a fifty yard touchdown catch, added a little

943
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: one year a one yard score just for a cherry

944
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: on top, and uh mr Rosenthal. The Chiefs were impressive

945
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: in a season opening win over the Pats last September.

946
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: This was everybody as impressive, but with a new man

947
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: at QB one, it just goes to show you don't

948
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: want to face Andy Reid coming off a bye or

949
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: in week one. Doesn't matter who his offensive coordinator is now,

950
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: it's Eric b Enemy will probably be a head coach

951
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: in a year two. He's just gonna cook up plays

952
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: that make your head explode. And that's what happened. There

953
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: were so many open receivers in this game, but there

954
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: were also so many box office plays by Patrick Mahomes

955
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,959
Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill. I don't know if there's been a

956
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: player ever like Tyree Hill. He's a really just unique talent.

957
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: And if I was running Sky Sports, I'd be putting

958
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on week after week because I just think

959
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fun to watch. When you ask why

960
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: would the Redskins trade an m v P or why

961
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: would the why would the Chiefs trade an m VP

962
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: candidate like Alex Smith, the answer isn't just because of

963
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. It's because the real m VP candidate is

964
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. This guy, I think is one of the

965
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: top ten or twelve players in the entire NFL, and

966
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: he'll be in the m v P discussion all year long.

967
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: When Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelsey combined for twenty seven

968
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: yards and you score thirty eight points, it's like, what

969
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? You know? I mean, the

970
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs need the Super Bowl to be held in Week

971
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: one because their their issue was January, and they'd be fine,

972
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: they would just roll with multiple titles. But this offense

973
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: runs through Hill, and I think we'll see much more

974
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: of Kelsey and other games. But after an offseason of

975
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: kind of wondering what you're gonna get from Patrick Mahomes

976
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: because is along with the big plays, the explosive passing plays,

977
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: you also thought, because it's been his sort of nature,

978
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: that you've got mistakes as well. Not today, he was perfect.

979
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: Come on with the Chargers in this game, the special

980
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: teams again and just not getting the job done on defense.

981
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: I'll handle this, thank you, West. I'm going into the

982
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: corner and just God, yeah, I'm gonna leave Mark and

983
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: Dan out of this, Greg and I owe the Kansas

984
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: City Chiefs and apology. We really do, and this podcast

985
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: has been down on them for a few years, but

986
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: they own the Chargers. This is nine straight wins and

987
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: I will never pick the Chargers over the Chiefs again

988
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 1: until they win a game, and that's fair. It made

989
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: no sense that the Chargers were somewhat heavy favorites in

990
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: this game. It was such a Charger game though. I mean,

991
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: they had a punt returner that fumbled two punts, they

992
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: gave up a punt return touchdown, they managed to have

993
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty one yard to mean, they outgained

994
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers by outgained the Chiefs by hundred and eighty yards,

995
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: and they still lost. They had Philip Rivers, who for

996
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: the most part played great four yards three touchdowns. It

997
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: could have been about five hundred yards if a couple

998
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: of his receivers didn't drop long passes that were beautiful.

999
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: But the key moment in this game in the second

1000
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: half to me, was a third and four where Philip

1001
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: Rivers needed to eat the ball and they could kick

1002
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: a field goal and they were still in the game.

1003
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: But he did the thing where he forced it into

1004
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: double coverage, it gets picked off and that was basically

1005
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: the moment, and they had a killer miss field goal

1006
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: when they had a chance to climb back into this,

1007
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: making it essentially every Chargers game ever. Bolts gonna bolt

1008
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: and uh, just a little bit of housekeeping before we

1009
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: moved to our next game. I did get behind the

1010
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: chiemn with disastrous results. So that's for the heroes thus

1011
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: far Sunday. Let's move up id formation. You're on the

1012
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: way hand off Peterson. It's a Redskins touchdown Peterson's wald

1013
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: had with career touchdown and the Redskins score. Larry Michael Cooley,

1014
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: is that a Is that a guy? Or is it?

1015
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 1: I think that was like the Son and Home Improvement. Yeah,

1016
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it sounds like a human name. Not

1017
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: sure who the human is. Sunny Jorgenson also w TM

1018
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: with the call. Alex Smith carved up the Cardinals uh

1019
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: two fifty five and two touchdowns. Adrian Peterson looked like

1020
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson ninety six yards and a touchdown. Redskins beat

1021
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: up on the Cardinals six win on Sunday in a

1022
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 1: game that really wasn't even that close. Mark Washington utterly

1023
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: dominant on the road in Week one, pretty damn the press.

1024
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: This is the Redskins team that we fell in love

1025
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: with for various weeks in the past, where you saw

1026
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: them get in and dominate, and we can put to bed. Finally,

1027
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: last year's Sam Bradford Week one performance that everyone crowe

1028
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: about for four thousand months. He had eleven yards passing

1029
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: in a negative one yard rushing at halftime. Today they

1030
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 1: couldn't get on track at all. But I am West.

1031
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: You've been talking about Adrian Peterson all off season. You're

1032
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: you're essentially his agent at this point. Please talk. Thank you, Dan,

1033
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: because I was going to introduce this by saying permission

1034
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: to take a victory hundred sixties six yards in a touchdown.

1035
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: And I think this was our big takeaway on the

1036
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: Sky Sports show, or my big takeaway that if you're

1037
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: a general manager, you have to ask yourself if you

1038
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: succumbed to the quicksand of NFL group think. And it

1039
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: happens every offseason. This guy's on the open market for

1040
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: six months, can't even get a whisper of interest. And

1041
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: his game film last year showed an overwhelmed offensive line,

1042
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 1: no respect for the passing game and Adrian Peterson running

1043
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: with the same fury, similar explosion, similar speed to previous years.

1044
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: The guy can still play, and when you see him

1045
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: in a Redskins jersey, it conjures up visions of John Riggins,

1046
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: a guy who made the Hall of Fame because he

1047
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: was the best old running back in NFL history. And

1048
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: he's perfectly paired with Chris Thompson. Yes, absolutely, and I

1049
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: never thought that Peterson would be bad. My thing is

1050
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 1: really stay healthy, and if he stays healthy, what West

1051
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: is right about is he still has the goods. And

1052
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals that did that was not inspiring. That effort

1053
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: at home. It makes you very nervous that this team.

1054
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: First of all, we're gonna see Josh Rosen sooner than

1055
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: we expected, and this team is not going to hang

1056
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: around in the playoff picture if they keep playing like

1057
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: the Peterson already earned the salary. He could get hurt

1058
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: next week, and he was worth it. The fact that

1059
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson and him combined for almost three hundred yards.

1060
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson's coming back from a serious injury. We didn't

1061
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: see him at all in preseason, so we didn't know

1062
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: what we were going to get out of him. Jay

1063
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: Gruden has to be love in life. Chris Thompson had

1064
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty three total yards in addition to Peterson,

1065
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: so they have three hundred between almost almost three hundred.

1066
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: I think a little shy, but one. My brain has

1067
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: gon explode right now. Jay Gruden, at one point in

1068
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: his Redskins offense, had twenty six first downs and the

1069
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals had three. I mean that is they smacked down.

1070
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: And he didn't even really need to use Jordan Reader,

1071
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson because you just had Alex

1072
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: Smith just dropping off these little five yard passes. And

1073
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: I think this Redskins team is dangerous and I think

1074
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in the mix in the end. And

1075
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: as much as Kirk Cousins is a fit for the Vikings,

1076
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is It's okay, you can go somewhere else,

1077
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: and he's in Washington. He's perfect for the Redskins. Resurprise

1078
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: me at all. He's just a guy you can count on.

1079
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: And Larry Michael Cooley wasn't he one of the kids

1080
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: and family matters? Well, I think he was a jobber

1081
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: in eighties wrestling. Let's move up. Keenam design role looks right,

1082
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: run on the run, throws the ball. It's the interceptive,

1083
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: but is he out of bounds? He's out of did

1084
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: he catch the ball? Got that ct with the catch,

1085
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: so that Marius Thomas has the football, But is he

1086
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: gonna get the touchdown? I think it's gonna stay at

1087
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: Dave and I certainly I'm not gonna be in our

1088
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: top ten calls. Okay, and Rick Lewis with the call

1089
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: there for k O A. Wolf. Von Miller was the star.

1090
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 1: Damary Thomas had to go ahead touchdown there, but Von

1091
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: Miller was the star for the Broncos. He's sacked Russell

1092
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: William Wilson three times, force two fumbles, recovered another and

1093
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: uh case Keenum wins his Broncos debut Sunday win over

1094
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: the Seahawks West. You were confident the Broncos would get

1095
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: off on the right foot against the Seattle team in transition. Wait,

1096
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: how confident were you, Wes, confident enough that I locked

1097
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: it up? Bang, That's exactly what happened, your thoughts. Von

1098
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,720
Speaker 1: Miller was the best player on the field. He tipped

1099
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 1: the field. Vans Joseph handled the end of the game

1100
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: as if he trusted the Broncos defense just because he

1101
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: knew von Miller was wrecking shop all day long. I

1102
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: have been so excited by this rookie class that you've

1103
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 1: jokingly referred to them as the team of West hel

1104
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: and no way, shape or forman my bailing on the Bears,

1105
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: But this Broncos team gets me excited as much as anyone.

1106
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: And for all the hype that goes to Court and

1107
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: Sutton and Royce Freeman and Bradley Chub, undrafted Philip Lindsay,

1108
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: a rookie who really jumped off the screen in preseason action,

1109
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: is a big factor for this team. About a hundred

1110
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown on over fifteen touches. This guy's

1111
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna be involved all year. I think I like the

1112
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: formula here. That Broncos last year were not fun to watch,

1113
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: they were depressing. I felt completely different about this game,

1114
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: and they're They're not perfect, but you got what you

1115
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: got from Emmanuel Sanders. We talked all off season about

1116
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with the backfield. Philip Lindsay Royce Freeman

1117
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: both had fifteen rushes for seventy one yards four point

1118
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: seven per carry. That works, and this defense is doing

1119
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: exactly what they thought. I just think that this is

1120
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: a team in this division where you in a weird

1121
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: a f C, who knows what can happen. You said

1122
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: West that Vance Joseph was confident in the defense because

1123
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: Von Miller was there. Maybe it was because pac Man

1124
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: Jones was there. I mean pac Man Jones. How about

1125
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: closing out a game in his fourteen season. He just

1126
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: got called off the waiver wire and he's still closing

1127
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: out games. Pacman Jones. If this was if, I love it.

1128
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: If you're Hugh Jackson and you had to do something

1129
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: other than lose today, don't we feel the same way

1130
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: about Vance Joseph. He had a he had a rough

1131
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: rough season last year. He had a terrible first year

1132
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: as a head coach, and John big Win John Elway

1133
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: did not want to pull the trigger too soon, but

1134
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: you could easily cut ties with Vance Joseph. That's how

1135
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: bad last year was. So sticking with him and getting

1136
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: the win and case Keenum like, listen, if this is

1137
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: how much Case Keenum is gonna be in terms of

1138
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: volume usage, I don't think the Broncos are gonna have

1139
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: a very good season. I think the way he was

1140
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: used in Minnesota was the perfect way to use him,

1141
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: which is playing two strengths. Don't don't let him get

1142
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: to cowboyish. And I think they're gonna lose more games

1143
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: than they win if he throws this many passes. But

1144
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: today worked against the Seattle defense. Said Frankly, I don't

1145
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: think it's very good right now, Earl Thomas to know, West,

1146
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: what did you think about kind of this totally reformed

1147
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense. Did it look like the Seahawks. No, it

1148
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 1: didn't look like the Seahawks. You got you had the interceptions,

1149
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: which you know, as Dan said case Keenum, he sort

1150
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: of plays like a younger Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's a gun slinger.

1151
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: You're going you're going to have those balls. He's gonna

1152
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: throw up, so that will happen. But this team was

1153
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Broncos must have five d yards of offense.

1154
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: This was not a Seahawks Legion of Boom type of team.

1155
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin went out with an injury in this game

1156
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: after battling an MCL spraining throughout the preseason. He had

1157
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: one target. This team is just short on possibility, is

1158
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: on offense. I mean there's just when you who is

1159
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: dis Lee there the tight end was their leading receiver

1160
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: and they're just counting on Brandon Marshall to make a

1161
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: play down the field, which he did, but they're just

1162
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: a little short on strange looked a lot like last

1163
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: year's Seattle offense with Russell Wilson. Do most they need,

1164
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: they need Baldwin, and Baldwin is such a Jenga piece

1165
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: for that team. Around the NFL Podcast is sponsored by

1193
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: haven't gotten Cephalo, Bob Greasy and Joe Rose with a

1194
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 1: call uh Ja. Keith Grant answered the Titan's touchdown with

1195
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: a one two yard kickoff return. Bryan Tannehill connected on

1196
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: two TV passes. Kenny Stills and the quarterbacks returned to action,

1197
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins knocked off the Tytoons seven to twenty

1198
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: and a game delayed twice by lightning storms took over

1199
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: seven hours to complete, which is the longest NFL game

1200
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: ever in terms of just start to finish. So really league,

1201
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, at least the Dolphins fans that were there

1202
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: that stuck around got a w out of it. Greg

1203
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a nice start for Miami and a brutal night for Tennessee.

1204
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: And it goes beyond the final score. Yeah, I think

1205
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the Titans had the worst Sunday of any team. I mean,

1206
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the Bills fans clearly don't feel too good about themselves,

1207
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: but the Titans had more hope going into it and

1208
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: more devastation. Today. Marcus Mariota had an elbow injury where

1209
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: he lost feeling in his hand. He came back from

1210
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: the injury and threw an interception, which came after that

1211
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: second really long lightning delay. Then you lose Delaney Walker

1212
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: late in the game to what appeared to be a

1213
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: really serious injury. That's seven hours after the game has

1214
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: started and you just doesn't seem right. And early in

1215
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: the game you also lost left tackle Taylor Luan. So

1216
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: that's you think of the Titans. Those are three of

1217
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: the players, maybe the first three players that you think of,

1218
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: and they all went out. We don't know how serious

1219
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: Mariota's injury is, but he didn't look great before or

1220
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: after the injury, So just probably a real lost week

1221
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: for the Titans, especially with the Jaguars looking so good.

1222
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: This feels like one of those games that m NFL

1223
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: films will profile because it was so wacky and so unusual,

1224
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and it's gonna it seems like it's also gonna double

1225
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: as like the video that is uh like a backbreaking

1226
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: season stabbing, worst case scenario kind of game for the

1227
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: type I just think for for anyone in a football team, players, coaches,

1228
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: front office, when you get stuck with this kind of

1229
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: situation where we saw what happened to the Super Bowl

1230
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: between the Ravens and Niners when that when the lights

1231
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: went out, how it changed that that tenor of that

1232
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: game for both teams. Look what happened today. I just

1233
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: think you have to ask, if you're the NFL or whatever,

1234
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: how do you handle this kind of thing. I do

1235
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: think the football gods might be smiling because there's a

1236
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: lot of KOs already with Mother Nature, with my sandwich

1237
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: property one of these games at some point being moved.

1238
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: They should have just taken this thing and moved into

1239
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: a High School Stadium tomorrow night. If you ever were

1240
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: curious what happens after, you know, six and a half

1241
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: hours in a huge delay, Here's what happened. Tons of

1242
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: scoring and tons of points. It was ten to three

1243
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: entering the fourth quarter, and then then the game ended

1244
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty. Here's what happened. A hundred and

1245
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: two yard kickoffer turn followed by a seventy five yard

1246
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: touchdown paths followed by a ninety four yard kickoffer turn.

1247
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: That's just a bunch of tired players. And the Dolphins

1248
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: were the better team today and they deserve to win,

1249
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: partly because the running game looks good. Kenyan Drake and

1250
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: Frank Gore were a really good one to punch, and

1251
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: that was kind of the difference in a block game.

1252
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: It's great to come out with a win. The only

1253
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: fans that stuck around to the end were people that

1254
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: lost their car car keys in the storm. I and

1255
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how you speaking of tired players were tired.

1256
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: So we will throw it the Sunday night game between

1257
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers. Back to the

1258
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Culver studio. Where are good buddies and satellite heroes? Uh?

1259
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Nick Shook and Jeremy Bergman will handle the call to

1260
01:04:53,920 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: you boys, go Roger shotgun pre receivers, why you want

1261
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: to the last snapped a Rod Rushes on half time

1262
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: looking he made all the way to the twenty right

1263
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: till the Tuns down by my goodness, Randolph cop to

1264
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: the lead score. What an amazing finish to the first

1265
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: Sunday of the football season. This is Jeremy Bergen with

1266
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Nick Shook back in l A. The Packers down and out,

1267
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers down and out, down twenty to nothing at

1268
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: at halftime, come back and wine at Lambeau against the Bears.

1269
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: There's no higher drama in the league than this type

1270
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: of comeback. This music fits perfectly because what a stunning finish,

1271
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: and it's one that we shouldn't really be that surprised

1272
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: by seeing that it was Aaron Rodgers. But it was

1273
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on one leg. That's right. The first touchdown

1274
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: that he threw when he came back from the injury,

1275
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 1: which we'll get to, he threw on one leg thirty

1276
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: nine yards on a dime to the back corner of

1277
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: the end zone. We've seen Rodgers throw hell Mary's. We've

1278
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: seen him, you know, will then back from the depths

1279
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: of defeat, and he did it today, coming back from

1280
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: a collarbone injury that ended his season last year. And

1281
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was really a tale of two halfs too,

1282
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, the first half we

1283
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: had the Khalil mac Show, and he was dominating an

1284
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: offense that had been just dumb struck by the loss

1285
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers. You know, Chris Collins worst set it

1286
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: on the broadcast night. We were giving a eulogy as

1287
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: he was carried off to the locker room. This is

1288
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: it what Greek one green bass season is over? What's

1289
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen? The Lambeau crowd was dead silent. You could

1290
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: hear a pin drop. And then they bring in It's

1291
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: not bred Hollan anymore. Remember it's DeShawn Kaiser who they

1292
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: traded for. Deshaun Kaiser comes in and promptly gets strip

1293
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: sacked by Khalil Mack in the red zone and then

1294
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: on the neck drive throws a pick six and you're like,

1295
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: this game is over. If you went to bed, I

1296
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: don't blame you. Everybody thought Aaron Rodgers was either done

1297
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: for the season or at least done for the game

1298
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: and then the second half are Steave bettor David Eally

1299
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: made the I think the appropriate connection to Willis Reid

1300
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Willis Rodgers coming out of the locker room in the

1301
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: second half and turning things around, coming back from that

1302
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: twenty to nothing deficit and doing it in thrilling fashion

1303
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: on a play that you know, when he threw it

1304
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: over the middle of the randall Cobby, you thought, Okay,

1305
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a first down. Oh wait, there's there's

1306
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: nobody there where it was. Everybody might go, he is

1307
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna go all the way. I mean, you heard the

1308
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: the shock in the voice of of those on the call,

1309
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean it kept what you know, like

1310
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: we said before, it shouldn't have been that much of

1311
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: a surprise, but I mean you sat back, you're you're

1312
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: all you know behind the Bears here, they're gonna hold

1313
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: onto it and they're gonna finish this. They were playing

1314
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: so well. And the confidence that I had in the

1315
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Bears during the whole game wasn't just because of the

1316
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: way Khalil Mack was playing, the way ro Kuan Smith

1317
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: was playing a cheam Hicks. The defense was playing great

1318
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: shutting down Rodgers even before he got hurt. The confidence

1319
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: came the fact that Matt Naggi's offense with Mitchell Drobisky

1320
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: under center, with all the new pieces around him, they

1321
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: were moving the ball. Jordan Howard, treat Cohen, Allen Robinson

1322
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,959
Speaker 1: was a great connection with Trabisky. They were moving the ball.

1323
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Trey Burton, you know, it looked like they were going

1324
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: to run away with it. Even if Rogers and the

1325
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: offense got back on track something happened in the second half.

1326
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: But this offense looked a lot like the Chiefs offense

1327
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: from years past. But there was a problem because it

1328
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: also looked like the Chiefs offense in that playoff game

1329
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: last year that they lost the Titans. And and you know,

1330
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: uh what Matt Naggi failed to do or Niggy we

1331
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: we went over there. We haven't figured out what is

1332
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: but what he did failed to do last year was

1333
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: ice the game. And again tonight for a good portion

1334
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: of the second half. That creativity the Bears offense show

1335
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: that was so exciting in the first half. You know,

1336
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: multiple formations, they're doing all kinds of crazy different things,

1337
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 1: a lot of what the Chiefs the earlier today. By

1338
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: the way, and and then it just it went vanilla.

1339
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: In the second half, they couldn't move the ball, and

1340
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: every stop the Packers got the momentum built, and before

1341
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: you knew it, they're right back in the game. And

1342
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: then you've got the ball in Roger's hand and he's down,

1343
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, a score, and the magic happens. The Bears

1344
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: were up seventeen to nothing at halftime. Rogers was down

1345
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: for the count after taking a hit from it looked

1346
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: like Khalil mac but somebody else on the Bears d line.

1347
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Back in the wild card game, the Chiefs were down

1348
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: twenty were up twenty one two three at halftime over

1349
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota and the Titans. Similar type of situation here,

1350
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I don't you don't want to

1351
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: blow this thing on the proportion. But this is two

1352
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: straight games that Matt Naggi has coached as an offensive

1353
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 1: coordinator or a head coach, and these are two blown leads.

1354
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: There's a lot of promise in Chicago, but you start

1355
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: to think maybe when you know his teams can't hold

1356
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: a lead, it's a teaching moment for him in his

1357
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: first game as a head coach, and I think he'll

1358
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: learn just from the many phases of a game in

1359
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: the NFL season. I mean, every game, there's four quarters

1360
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: the long time to play football, and I think he'll

1361
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: learn from this. But the big question now, Aaron Rodgers

1362
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: kind of answered this question on the broadcast, but really,

1363
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: is he going to play in Week two? Because that's

1364
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: gonna dominate the headlines this week. He said he's gonna play,

1365
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: He told much Altafoya, He's gonna play. We'll see. I'm

1366
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: sure this is gonna, you know, draw out over the week.

1367
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: There's definitely a lot to be excited about in Chicago, though,

1368
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: without a doubt, I have a hot take, shook, this

1369
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: was the game of the year, this whole first time

1370
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: in a football game over the year, and it was

1371
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: already the game of the year. You will not see

1372
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: a game with higher drama. You're chasing this high all

1413
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: the seven of us on this journey from our little

1414
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: NFL group. We've had an incredible time and we promised

1415
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: with Lakisha with eight to have a reunion. I've said

1416
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: three times a week all season long, we're gonna be

1417
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna meet. You had sort of a Michael Jordan's

1418
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: at Barcelona week where you know he's famous for playing

1419
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: eighteen holes of golf every day, going out and beating

1420
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of chumps on the basketball court, staying up

1421
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: till five in the morning playing cards and join it

1422
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: every day over again. That was sort of what you

1423
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: did in London. I felt we grew for a little

1424
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: bit while at the end of the week, I thought

1425
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. Yeah, you have lost me. I am

1426
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: moving here. Dark Sessler came out a couple of nights,

1427
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: but he came all the way back around and he's

1428
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: with us. Also, Ryan Bartlon and cam Malina ack in

1429
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Culver's have given us a lot of support. I just

1430
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: mind one takeaway like from this whole week is I

1431
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: wasn't part of last year's season opening podcast. It was

1432
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: a long year for me and this this trip sort

1433
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: of feels like validation for what we started five or

1434
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: six years ago, and that we trusted our instincts that

1435
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: in that building people want your show to be interviewing players,

1436
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: interviewing coaches, talking to beat writers, and instead our vision

1437
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: was for idiots taking the piss out of each other,

1438
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: as they say here, and it's just a really good

1439
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: sensibility match for the British listeners. And I think that's

1440
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: why why we're here. I mean we were literally sneaking

1441
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: around our bosses to try to to tape this podcast.

1442
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: And this was a week where we love our jobs,

1443
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: we love football, and we love all the listeners, not

1444
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: just the UK listeners, but all the listeners are the

1445
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: ones that helped get us here. And Mark Mark Brady,

1446
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 1: the shadowy league figure who was along with us, said

1447
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: he was getting chills when they put our warm up

1448
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 1: songs on on Tuesday night, our introductory songs, and it

1449
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, five years kind of coming to

1450
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: that moment and just I have chills just just thinking

1451
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 1: about it. And we we appreciate everyone that help us

1452
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: get us here. It was fine, all right, let's go.

1453
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,959
Speaker 1: Dad has us signing up for the Quiet Storm, the Mailman,

1454
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: the old boss of the Loose catin on the ones twos,

1455
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: Oh Love and you treated as well to go home

1456
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: till what Sex
