1
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to a week three edition Between the Horns present

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: about your Southern California Toyter Dealers, proud partner of the

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: La Rams. I'm JB. Long and it is Thursday morning.

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: That's Sofi Stadium, which means we are three days away

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: from this matchup against undefeated Tampa Bay. The defending Super

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Bowl champion Buccaneers are here to take on your Rams

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: this Sunday in Inglewood. Let's bring in to Marco. Far

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: We're a little bit late getting started this morning. To Marco.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: We were hoping that our broadcast partner, Maurice Jones Drew,

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: who was a game time decision, would be able to

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: join us. But he's on the same list that Sean

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: McVeagh is on this week, non COVID related illness. We

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: hope he's back in time for Sunday. See, I think

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: there might be two Maurice Jones Drews. The one that

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: was in Jacksonville was a whole lot tougher than the

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: one we got. I'm just kidding. I hope he gets

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: well soon. I know he's watching. It means more talk

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: time for the guest panelists we have today from the

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: ringer John Gonzalez is back. We enjoyed his presence at

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: training camp down that UC Irvine. Now for the biggest

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: game of the season. He gives us some national perspective, John,

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: we appreciate your patience, DMS your address. There's a Rams

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: home finger coming your way for waving out this half hour.

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, thanks for having me, guys, I mean

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm happy to stand in for MJD. We get confused

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: for each other all the time. Let's start with this

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: A league quarterback matchup coming your way in Englewood on

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Sunday in America's game of the week, and Tom Brady,

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: at age forty four, is playing arguably his best football.

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: His stats are prolific. Once again, he and Rob Gronkowski

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: have found that fountain of youth. John, can you convince

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: us that the Rams will have the better quarterback on

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 1: the field Sunday. I'm not talking about the most accomplished,

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,279
Speaker 1: of course, not the best resume, no one compares to Brady,

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: but the best individual for three hours on Sunday. Yeah,

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm the guest on the show that feels a little

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: like a track for the rookie where you're trying to

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: convince me to take it is It's tough because it

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady, right, He's the goat, and on top

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: of that, he's got just incredible support and cast around him,

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: an excellent offense, one of the best in the NFL,

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: one of the best maybe that the NFL has seen

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: to devilight some time. Chris Godwin has looked really good,

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Mike Evans has looked really good. Rob Gronkowski all of

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: a sudden fountain of youth revitalized. You've got Fournett out

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and on and on. Even Antonio Brown

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: in that first game looked really good. So he's got

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: a great supporting cast. But what show are we on here? JP?

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: This is between the Horns. This is not between your Buccaneers.

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: You're not going to check by the way. I just

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: came up with that. That's free brain. Yes, Look, Matt

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: Stafford has been every bit as good as advertising these

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: first two games, not for nothing. Higher completion percentage in

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the first two games than Tom Brady and a higher

55
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: quarterback rating. Clear connection with Cooper cup Marbert what's get involved?

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: And also their home so Fi Stadium is going to

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: be rocking. I'm going with the home team. I'm going

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: with the home quarterback. Give me Matt Stafford. Yeah, Brady's

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: first professional game in Los Angeles to Marco, and so

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: much of it has to do with a match up,

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the defense of Los Angeles game where Brady fits last

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: year on Monday Night football in Tampa Bay. Can they

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: repeat the formula? I think they can. I do like

64
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Tampa supporting cast. I like their offensive line. I think

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Donovan Smith is a good left tackle, athletic, perfect for Brady.

66
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I think from guard to guard they're pretty tough, and

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: worse on the outside at right tackle is pretty good.

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: They give them protection, they understand protections. Tom Brady is

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: a master protecting himself, sliding the line the right way

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: to pick up blitzers and whatnot. So they're pretty good

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: at what they do protecting Tom Brady. And if you

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: give them time, he can absolutely fillet you. I'm glad

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I didn't get to answer that question, because I think

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: to figure out which quarterback is going to play the

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: best or be the best in twenty twenty one, I

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: think it's going to be decided this Sunday, And as

77
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: we get closer, I start to realize this is a big,

78
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: big game. This is not just another game. It is

79
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: for the Rams, it is for the box, but for

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: the world. A lot of people are put a lot

81
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: on this game, but this will be tough. Defensively speaking,

82
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: for the Rams. If you go back to last week

83
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: and the week before that, and go into anytime last year,

84
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: it's all about Aaron Donald and his energy and what

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: he gave you last week in Indianapolis was unbelievable. How

86
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: many pressures and knockdowns did you count? Jab? I had ten,

87
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and I'm a tough grader. How many did you have? Well,

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: here's what I noticed, though, is he did not complete

89
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: any of those pressures with a sack. And while I

90
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: was frustrating in the moment, it was still effective. And

91
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: what it leaves the door open to De Marco is

92
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: him setting the Rams all time franchise sack record in

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: the modern era at home against TV twelve. Whild be

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: pretty specie. You let me right there. This is what

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean. And as I got out of the car

96
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: in the parking lot today, I realized, Okay, when he

97
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: does set the franchise record, it's going to be huge.

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: It's going to be on a big stage, and by

99
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: the way, it's going to be Brady that he drops

100
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: to do it, so this will live on forever, and

101
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: think about it, if Brady wants to play until he's fifty.

102
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how long Aaron's gonna go, but theoretically

103
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: they could go up to the whole fame together and

104
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: guess what playing all show. Probably this one, so it's

105
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: going to be huge. But I'll say this, we talked

106
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: about d line depth. It was going to be an issue.

107
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I think Aaron donald and that he's played all but

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: seven snaps for the first two weeks. That's a lot

109
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: for him. That's more than last year. I think that

110
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: is a symptom of not having death. But his energy

111
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. But when if you look at the film

112
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: last week, Carson wentzon that offense started having success when

113
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Aaron got a little worn down because of the reps

114
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: and snaps. So you're gonna need some other people, some

115
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: second waves to come in and help you with Brady

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: because it can't be on ninety nine alone. All right, John,

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: you thought my first question was a trap, wait until

118
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: you have to defend the ringer on this one. It

119
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: was an article by your colleague Stephen Ruise trying to

120
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: separate contenders from pretenders with the group that is currently

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: two and oh and in the Ram section it was

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: somewhat undecided, and a lot of that was laid at

123
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: the feet of the defense. It was described as a

124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: cheap knockoff of last years defense, which was the best

125
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: in professional football. So here's my thing. The Rams are

126
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: allowing fewer than twenty points per game on defense. They've

127
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: surrendered only three touchdowns through two games. What grade would

128
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: you give them? You don't have to follow Steven's lead.

129
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: I want to say that I enjoy in respect all

130
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: of my rare colleagues. In case the bosses are watching,

131
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are. They're big fans of Between the Horns,

132
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: you know. I think the Rams defense has been really

133
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: good at you mentioned some of the stats. They've also

134
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: been fourth in turnovers. Any coach, and certainly DeMarco would

135
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: tell you the same thing. When you win the turnover battle,

136
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: you have a great shot to win the game, right.

137
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: So the Rams have been really good with that so far.

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: But I do think you have to grade them a

139
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: little bit on a curve JB because what kind of

140
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: competition have they played so far? They had the Bears

141
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: at home. The Bears are an NFL team, They're fine.

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was here. I like Andy Dalton, but he's

143
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: mostly a replacement quarterback. I think his hair and his

144
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: beard are better than he is as a quarterback these days.

145
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk to his barber Crankly, although barbar's watching.

146
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: I would never cheat on you, Jared. But that's basically

147
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: all you're getting out of the Bears, right, and then

148
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they go on the road. They

149
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: play the Colts. Any roadwin in the NFL is a

150
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: good win, There's no doubt about that. However, again, competition wise,

151
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: you're playing Carson Wentz, and as anybody from Philadelphia will

152
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: tell you, hello again, playing Carson Wentz usually works out

153
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: pretty good for the other guys. So look, you can

154
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: only beat the competition in front of you. The Rams

155
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: defense has done that. They've done it well. But because

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little curious or a little suspicious about those

157
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: first two opponents, I'll give him a solid B plus,

158
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: maybe an A minus. This is the real test. We

159
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: all know that the eyes of the NFL are on

160
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: this game this weekend. You get past the Buccaneers, you

161
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: beat them at home with everybody watching, with Sofi Stadium

162
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: rocking A plus. I already know that my primary takeaway

163
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: from this episode between the Horns is going to be

164
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: that the Bears are an NFL team. Courtesy of Johnkinson.

165
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: Thank you for driving that point at home, DeMarco. He

166
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: raises well several interesting points. One I'd like to follow

167
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: up with you on, which is the quarterback contrast between

168
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: week two and week three could not be any more

169
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: start right, like Carson Wentz invites chaos, he lives off schedule.

170
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: The play starts when the play breaks down. Meanwhile, Tom

171
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Brady surgically eliminates all of that totally completely opposite quarterbacks.

172
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: And to the Bears defense, that was a tough team

173
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to defend because you're facing two quarterbacks, so when they

174
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: bring in the young guy, you gotta flop. So I

175
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: would give the Rams an a. But Tom Brady, you're

176
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: exactly right. And you've heard the word poise. I heard

177
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: the word poise ever since I started competitive sports, even

178
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: before I knew what the word meant. But if you

179
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: want a living embodiment of poise, look at Tom Brady.

180
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: No matter what the defense does, pre snap, post snap,

181
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: what have you? He seems unflappable, and he so relaxed

182
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: in his quarterbacking, which means when he drops back or

183
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: faces it to the running back or manipulates the safety

184
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: with his shoulder and his eyes, everything is almost letter

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: perfect and he almost makes you a chase shadows, so

186
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: to speak. So it's a balanced breakfast, a full time

187
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: job trying to defend Tom Brady because it's not just

188
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: about stopping him for one drive or a half. He

189
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: is constantly and steadily gaining knowledge about your coals, your

190
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: ability that day, you're a cardiovascular acumen, He's he's constantly

191
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: gaining information so he can beat you on the next series,

192
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: next drive, next next play. So this is not just

193
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: going to be one of these situations where you think

194
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: you got him. There is no I think you got

195
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You're gonna have to play gung ho balls,

196
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: you know what, to the wall football until the final

197
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: gun sounds to beat him. All right. Next topic was

198
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be about Darrell Henderson's injury and how his

199
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: potential absence might impact Sunday's game, But I'm gonna call

200
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: an audible the line of scrimmage here and broaden the

201
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: conversation a bit because of what's happened this week in

202
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Don't know if Antonio Brown is going to

203
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: be back from the reserve COVID list. Jason Pierre Paul

204
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: that was reported this morning went to Colorado for a

205
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: second opinion on his shoulder. The advice, the recommendation was rested.

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: So let's say those three we don't know yet, but

207
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: let's say that they may not play on Sunday. Which

208
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: one of those three would have the biggest impact their

209
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: absence on the outcome Sunday. John will start with you tough, right,

210
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, because all of a sudden, if those guys

211
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: aren't involved, changes sort of the complexion of the game.

212
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: But I'd probably go with Jason Pierre Paul. I think

213
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: that the Bucks defense last year you saw same with

214
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: the Rams. Those two defenses were really really good, and

215
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden this year. Not to say

216
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: that the Bucks have taken a step back this year,

217
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: but in those first two games we saw in the

218
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: opener against the Cowboys, Cowboys put up some points on them,

219
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: and then the Falcons. I really expected them to blow

220
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: out the Falcons and hold the Falcons to a pretty

221
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: few points, and it looked like they were going to

222
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: do that in the first half, and all of a sudden,

223
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: then in the second half, maybe they got a little comfortable.

224
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: They started to come back. Falcons started to put some

225
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: points on the board. Cotterell Patterson of the end zone,

226
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley got some gains in and it just didn't

227
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: look like that same defense. So I think if they're

228
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: not at full strength, certainly if they didn't have a

229
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul put some pressure on Matthew Stafford. Now,

230
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a defense that hasn't looked quite

231
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: as good as they did last year. Another advantage for

232
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: the Rams DeMarco. It looked like the injury report in

233
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: the first portion of the week was going to favor

234
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Maybe now not so much. You know, not

235
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: having Antonio Brown out there would be huge. That's just

236
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: one less problem for Rohi Morrison. The secondary as solved

237
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: now there are some concerns about the secondary. I know

238
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: we do a lot of talking about Jalen Ramsey and

239
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: he absolutely deserves it and I'm glad they were moving

240
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: him around to be a defensive football player, not just

241
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: a corner, but in the back end. Carson Wentz and

242
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: I think you said it during the broadcast. I mean

243
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: he was throwing darts out there to open guys. And

244
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle was a problem in the second half, And

245
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: ask anyone he is a quarterman's gronkowski. Well guess what's coming.

246
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: So you've got that to deal with. That's to be

247
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: an issue. And when you think about having to deal

248
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown on the other side, or a guy

249
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: that can take advantage of man coverage, one on one

250
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: coverage and get into the end zone, that scares you. Now,

251
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: if he's out good. I hope he's not sick. I

252
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: don't want to wash that on anybody. But if he's

253
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: not around for game day, great, I won't complain about it.

254
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: He is an absolute problem. And I'll have to say

255
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: this about Darius Williams. It's not that he's played poorly.

256
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: He's just it doesn't seem like he's playing as fast

257
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: as he did last year. Now that could be symptomatic

258
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: of the defense and a different voice in the room,

259
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: or he's got a lot more going on than he

260
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: did last year. It's easy to sneak up on people

261
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: now everyone expects you to play great day in and

262
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: day out. And speaking of day. There's a little daylight

263
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: between him and his responsibilities running past. But I think

264
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: that stuff can get ironed out. But if Antonio Brown

265
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: isn't there, you're not going to see me crying about it.

266
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: It could be a big week for David Long Junior

267
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: as well. This Week three game was the one we

268
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: had to circle to really test the corner depth of

269
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: the Rams in twenty twenty one. Let's go big picture

270
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: here to finish, and there are seven teams in the

271
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: National Football League unbeaten. Sunday's game here in Inglewood pits

272
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: two of them against each other, the Rams and the Bucks.

273
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Let's play contenders or pretenders, though, and start in the AFC.

274
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: John and DeMarco, I'll give you a chance each, just

275
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: a rapid fire answer, maybe a quick word on why

276
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: you feel this way. And the Raiders are up first,

277
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: Las Vegas hosting Miami without Tua, who has fractured ribs.

278
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Are you buying the Raiders as a contender at potentially

279
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: two going on three? You know, John looks like DeMarco

280
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: waving to take this one. DeMarco is ready for this one.

281
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be in accord on this one.

282
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm buying the Raiders. Actually, I mean they go on

283
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: the road in Pittsburgh and win a game that I

284
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: think sends a signal to a lot of a lot

285
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: of other teams around the NFL, certainly in the AFC West,

286
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: and then you know they're playing Miami that's banged up

287
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: and no chill. Yeah, I'm buying the Raiders, DeMarco. Tough

288
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: division the AFC West, Are the Raiders one of the

289
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: playoff teams that's going to emerge. I'm buying the Raiders.

290
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: We saw them up Cloaks, so we were both agreement.

291
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: That's not a bad football team over there. And I'm

292
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: not sure about Miami. I'm really not going back to

293
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: the whole fixed decision. Now two is out, you got

294
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: to go to quarterback number three or number two. So

295
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: I'll take the Raiders. I think they're playing well. DeMarco.

296
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: When we were in Denver for preseason game number three,

297
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: we spoke about the fact that for Teddy Bridgewater, there's

298
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: a clear path to a three in a start. It's

299
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: materialized that way. They're in a mile high with the

300
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Jets coming their way. What about that same division, the

301
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. I mean, why even talk about anybody playing

302
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: the Jets with all due respect, you know this, right,

303
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: come on? Yeah, I think some college teams may have

304
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: a good shot against the Jets, but I think Denver

305
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: in Mile High, Yeah, forget about it. I'll take John

306
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: and the Broncos gonna be in the AFC playoff field.

307
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna split this one here down

308
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: the middle. I think, as DeMarco said, let's not talk

309
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: about the Jets. Zach Wilson looked absolutely terrible. I feel

310
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: awful for their fan base. I think the Broncos do

311
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: get past the Jets easily, but to say that they're

312
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: going to be in the playoff, sure, I'm just not

313
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: buying that. I think they're pretenders. It's going to be

314
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: a pretty hollow three in all. I feel like, all right, John,

315
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: we'll stick with you. Your better half is in Houston

316
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: tonight for Thursday Night football. The Carolina Panthers a chance

317
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: to get to three, and now coming out of that

318
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: NFC South are the Panthers for real? Yeah? J B,

319
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: you and I when we're talking a little bit about

320
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: this Thursday Night football, it's gonna be a tough one,

321
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: especially with no Tyrod Taylor. But I am buying the

322
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers as playoff contenders because it feels like Sam Darnald.

323
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: You know, he took a lot of heat in New

324
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: York with the Jets. Again, let's not talk about the Jets.

325
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: He goes down to Carolina. Feels like they've got a

326
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: little something cooking with Sam Darnald, with CMC and that

327
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: defenses look pretty good. I'm buying the most contenders demark

328
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: of the Panthers at least look like the second best

329
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: team behind the box in that division. You know, it's

330
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: hard for me to even judge the Panthers. I mean,

331
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: we're not going to say the Panthers are that good

332
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: where you can hold the Saints to seven points. I

333
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: think James what'son had something to do with that worst

334
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: outing of Sean Payton's life. But I mean, look, you've

335
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: got McCaffrey back, You've got a chance against just about anybody.

336
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: So I think the true Carolina Panthers has yet to

337
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: reveal themselves. Maybe we'll find out on third Day. How

338
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: about the Arizona Cardinals in that prolific offense, DeMarco, is

339
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: there any chance the Cardinals arrive next week? Here in

340
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Englewood with anything shy of three wins. No, the Jacksonville

341
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: I think they found it. JB. What are we more

342
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: afraid of San Francisco getting right or Arizona finally finding

343
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: their groove? I don't like that question. Yeah, I think

344
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Arizona has found their groove. Kyler Murray, the game is

345
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: starting to slow down for a guy that goes blazing fast.

346
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's get through Tampa and then we'll start

347
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: sweating about Arizona. They'll be here. John. If last year

348
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: taught us anything, it's that Kyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury

349
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: can get off to fast starts, but can they sustain

350
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: of the course of a seventeen game schedule. Yeah, I'm

351
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: buying them. I think that they looked really good. Well,

352
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: suddenly they looked really good against Tennessee, where I didn't

353
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: expect them to go to Tennessee and smack the Titans around.

354
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: Last week a little bit more of a slod right,

355
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: they had a whole hold on white knuckle a little

356
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: bit against the Minnesota Vikings, but they pulled it out.

357
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: And in the NFL, what is a win? Right? And

358
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: then the NFC West is so loaded. I know we're

359
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: going to get to the forty nine ers, but that

360
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: division is just really, really tough. So yeah, I think

361
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: each team in that division could emerge as the team

362
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: in that division. Very nice transition back to you, John,

363
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: For those nine Ers, they host Green Bay on Sunday

364
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: Night football, What do you think? Yeah, this is where

365
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to zag a little bit where I think

366
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: maybe some other people might zag I'm not buying the

367
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I watched that game last week against

368
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. It's not so much that the forty

369
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: nine ers won that game, is that the Eagles lost it.

370
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: You know in some movies where they have the self

371
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: destruct button and you're not supposed to push it unless

372
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: you're in dire circumstances. The Eagles matched that thing about

373
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: fourteen times, and the forty nine Ers came away with

374
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: a very unimpressive win. I think, once again, JB, we

375
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: talked about the Bears being an NFL team and being fine.

376
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers, they're fine. I think that the rest

377
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: of the division is much better. What distinguishes them though,

378
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: is they've won twice on the road it already, and

379
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: there may still be a quarterback change in their future. DeMarco,

380
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: this is one of those no lose games from the

381
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: perspective of the Rams, right, either Green Bay's taken as

382
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: second loss or San Francisco is taking its first. Yeah,

383
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: I hope they both tie infinitum and keep beating each

384
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: other up. Yeah, let's just go there. But you know,

385
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: I think San Francisco has the embryo stage of what

386
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: they do best. They run the football when they can

387
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: find a running back. Now they've been you know, dinged

388
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: up a little bit. That's going to affect you some.

389
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: But that mentality is still there, and those offensive alignment

390
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: are still there, the philosophy is still there, and they

391
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: get after you rush from the passer and Bosa's back.

392
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: We mentioned that, So I think San Francisco is one

393
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: of these teams that rounds into form around October and

394
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: then starts to pound people. So either way, you've got

395
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: one of the better quarterbacks in the world and Aaron

396
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers that looks good versus a defense that can flat

397
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: good after them. So we'll see who wins that. But

398
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: if San Francisco gets right you said it earlier, man,

399
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: the NFC West is loaded. But I mean, when you

400
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: talk about the physical presence, the hammer that is San Francisco.

401
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Last thing to Marco back to you, we don't want

402
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: to skip over the one in one group because there's

403
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: very little separating them from the undefeated, and it's a

404
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: loaded group at that. Buffalo, Baltimore, Kansas City in the AFC,

405
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Seattle in the NSC, some really good candidates

406
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: to be the last team standing despite having already taken

407
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: an early loss from that group. Who do you like

408
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: as a potential Super Bowl pick? Well, all those teams,

409
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: the only two are heard were Buffalo and Seattle. Those

410
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: are the ones that scare me. Really. Buffalo with Josh

411
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Allen is tough. They paid him, they backed up the

412
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: brains truck, and he is every bit as good as

413
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: what they paid him so, and he's only going to

414
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: get better when they start to figure out how to

415
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: run the football to supplement his passing. I think they're

416
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: going to be dangerous. And Seattle with a McVey type

417
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: offense with a future Hall of Famer quarterback in Russell Wilson,

418
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy, and they still have a physical type mentality

419
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll. He's never going to get away from

420
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: running the football and trying to dominate the line of strument.

421
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: So think about that. That is the Rams offense on

422
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: steroids when you think about it, So that would be scary.

423
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: So Seattle and Buffalo from that group, definitely, And I'll

424
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: add once again in Baltimore, Kansas City, Green Bay, John,

425
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: do you want to go in a different direction. Yeah,

426
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: those are great picks. I mean it is such a

427
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: loaded group you could you could really take any of

428
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: these teams. I mean even the Ravens who were so

429
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: injury banged up. We saw what happened with their running

430
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: backs where they ended up with three running backs hurt

431
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: in twelve days. And then last week on Monday Night football,

432
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: everybody counts them out against Kansas City and they have

433
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: just an incredible win, and kudos to them. They could

434
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: be a pick as well, but I think the obvious

435
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: one here for Nataly East is Kansas City. Kansas City

436
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: lost that game to the Ravens. It was a fun

437
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: game to watch, a good game to watch, but there's

438
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: no way I'm counting out just a one on one

439
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City team with Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey and Hill

440
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: and even we call Hardman and Clyde Edwards Hilaire out

441
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and Andy Reid has proven to be

442
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: one of the great coaches in NFL history. That team

443
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: is so so dangerous. Despite losing that game to the Ravens.

444
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just play chalk here. I'm gonna go with

445
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, all right. John Gonzalez and Amarco Far They're

446
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: practically neighbors, but they've driven to opposite ends of our

447
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: great city to make this edition Between the Horns possible. John,
