1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday,

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: September eighteenth, Week two NFL Sunday was.

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Should we go with chaos?

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: So we go? Disaster for my Jets, disaster for Brandon Saley,

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, a lot of O and two teams up

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: against it on the gambling front two and three in

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the contest, Sean McVeigh man, you owe me one. I

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: cannot believe the man kicked a field goal down ten

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: with three seconds left, Like why it did nothing?

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: He wanted to cover the spread.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: McVeigh I banged on him all week about Shanahan covering

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: against him, and he really kicked me on my teeth.

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: That one hurt.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to talk too much about

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the Niners in today's podcast, So you know, do your

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: you know, Victory lap Rams fans who are now two

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: and oh against the.

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Spread, well done.

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's like a buzzword and all

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: encompassing narrative surrounding what went down on Sunday, I can't

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: start with my Jets. I'm sorry, Zach Wilson was as advertised,

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: not good against his own. Yes, the season will hinge

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: on what happens in Week three against the Patriots. Patriots,

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: by the way, also own two after the Sunday Night

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: football lost to Miami, And that's kind of sort of

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: where I want to start. Last week, I started the

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: podcast talking about how Miami's playing a different brand of

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: football than everyone else, and you could see it. Collinsworth

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: was like taking glee in some of these Tyreek hill

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: routes and the speed in motion and quick quick snaps,

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: like Miami is doing some really innovative cool things they're

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: now too. And oh and I had a smart guy

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: text me and say, who is the second best quarterback

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC after Patrick Mahomes? And I thought for

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: a second, and I said, well, okay, who do we got?

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert who's now owned two and did go the

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: length of the field to get a field goal, but

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: she probably should have got a touchdown for the win.

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: They lose in overtime and Justin went three and out

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: getting the ball first.

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: That was ugly. You know, I like Herbert a lot.

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars had an unbelievably bad offensive

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs in a game everybody bet the

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: over and it was seventeen to nine. Case Trevor Lawrence

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: is not yet the second best quarterback in the AFC.

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: So then you want to go with oh, Jason Josh Allen.

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Remember he was the MVP favorite last year and then

50
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: I saw Adam turnoff. Guest of this podcast said that

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in Week two, in a game where they

52
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: scored a billion points against the Raiders, my biggest bet

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: of the season so far. I talked about it on

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: the Herd, talked about it on Friday's pod. I loved

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: the bills. They carried me to victory. Financially this weekend,

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's air yards per attempt were the lowest in

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: the NFL heading into Sunday Night Football four point nine

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: yards per attempt in the air. He did not throw

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Why would you not do

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: that after you throw three interceptions last week? Don't take

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: a guess you think McDermott maybe rained him in a

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Hey, Josh, enough with the yolo, dial it back.

63
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Let's run, let's hand off. Oh, let's run for one

64
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards or whatever it was.

65
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: James Cook.

66
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: James Cook delivered if you have him in fantasy, really

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: good game. But it's like, wait, they're not the same

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: old Bills.

69
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: They just aren't.

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's not the same duty was two years ago,

71
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: so I don't think he's the second best quarterback in

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: the AFC. And then you go Joe Burrow, and some

73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: of the stats on the Joe Burrow game are ugly.

74
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: I had the Bengals not in the contest, but I

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: bet them. I talked to this up this game all week.

76
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Ravens were injured. I thought I was getting a great

77
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: number three one up to three and a half. Joe

78
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Burrow in Week one, at halftime, had thirty six passing yards.

79
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 2: Against the Browns. Oh well, Jay, it was in the rain,

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: he was coming off the calf. He didn't play in preseason.

81
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Fine, fine, fine, forget it. He had eighty two passing

82
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: yards and we went. So you go to Week two,

83
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows now at home against a Ravens defense with

84
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: his secondaryes beat up. They were down Humphrey down Williams offensive.

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens were in shambles. Joe Burrow, are

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: you ready for this. The Bengals offense had zero first

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: downs in the first quarter. The Burrow Joe Burrow had

88
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: thirty five passing yards in the first half. That's it,

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: thirty six last week in the first half, thirty five

90
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: this week. And Joe Burrow in on another craziest stats

91
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: I saw Sunday on passes of fifteen or more are

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: yards this season, Joe Burrow is oer of twelve, worse

93
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: than the league. So their offense went from being vertical

94
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: with t Higgins and Tyler Boyd and Jamar Chase to

95
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: they can't move the football and they end up losing.

96
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: And I listen, I know it's two weeks and Joe

97
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: Burrow is obviously very good. As an aside, Herbert and

98
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Burrow just signed record setting contracts. There come by no

99
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: for four. So then the question comes back to who

100
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: is the second best quarterback in the AFC after Patrick Mahomes.

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: And I think you've got to say with some confidence

102
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: right now, it's to a tongue of baaloa. And you know,

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: as me as a Jets fan, it pains me to

104
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: say nice things about Miami. Ripped my heart out in

105
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: my youth. The most painful sports moment that outside of

106
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: my personal career. You know, I'm playing youth basketball, youth soccer,

107
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, outside of watching you know, when I

108
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: got the word Magic Johnson had HIV and had to retire,

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: that's a sports moment.

110
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: But I was devastated. I was in eighth grade.

111
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: My buddy's dad worked at USA Today, and he was

112
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: like talking to his dad.

113
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: For some reason at school and he like ran to

114
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: find me.

115
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm still buddies with this guy, and he runs to

116
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: find me. Jay Magic Johnson retired. He as HIV, and

117
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: at the time, you know, we thought, you like, that's

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: a death sentence, you know, aids HIV. So I was

119
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: like crestfallen, totally crushed. And then a couple of years later,

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I think it was I don't know, maybe ninety four,

121
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, something like that. Dan Marino leads a

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: major comeback against the Jets and does the fake spike

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: touchdown pass where everybody thought he was going to kill

124
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: it inside the ten yard line. He goes to the line,

125
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: says he's gonna kill it, snaps it and throws a

126
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. And it was like that just that crushed

127
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the Jets. They were having a great season, they were

128
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: on the way of the playoffs. Those two moments I'll

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: remember forever, just absolutely devastating. And I don't like the

130
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins under any circum I've always disliked this team.

131
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: I root against them. They're fun to watch.

132
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Tua right now has to be the second best quarterback

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: in the AFC. And again, I'm not talking body of

134
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: work like years, but right now, right now, that's all

135
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: the matters. And listen, I'm not going overboard and saying

136
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: mister MVP, mister Super Bowl champ. I'm not putting him

137
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: ahead of Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is working with a whole

138
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: new wide receiver group. But the things Tua did against

139
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Belichick putting it in tiny windows. Listen, guys, you gotta

140
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: admit the guy is dealing right now. And remember first

141
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: six quarters of the season, Tua did not get sacked

142
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: once and Belichick was throwing exotic blitzes at him. That's

143
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: kind of slowed the offense down. In the second half,

144
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: Miami had a couple of drops, but you know, by

145
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: and large, besides being terrified for Zach Wilson and my Jets,

146
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: which we'll get too shortly next week. I think we

147
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: have to say right now, Two is the second best

148
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in the AFC. And remember, we had a lot

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: of guys come through here, a lot of gamblers, a

150
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy guys come through here in the preseason

151
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: talking about how tough that Miamis schedule was toughest in

152
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: the league. Patriots at second. Miami's now gone on the

153
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: road to open the season with a w over the Chargers.

154
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: They were underdogs, Miami was, and now they come home

155
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: and then they go up to play the Patriots in Belichick.

156
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: Two becomes the first quarterback to start his career five

157
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: and oh against Belichick. Belichick's never had anybody start their

158
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: career five and zero against him. He eats up young quarterbacks,

159
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: and Two is now five and oh against him.

160
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: Folks, it pains me.

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: To say it as a Jets fan and a Dolphins sater,

162
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: but Tu and Miami right now are role I think

163
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: he's the second best quarterback in the AFC. So from

164
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, I want to pivot quickly to crappy quarterbacks.

165
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: Can we do that? I don't want to Crappy is

166
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: probably too harsh a word, but and listen.

167
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: This is a problem times as a gambler when you

168
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: back someone and they don't deliver for you.

169
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: We'll get to Daniel Jones.

170
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you kind of watch the game a little closer,

171
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: you're maybe scrutinizing a little bit more. I watched a

172
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: lot of Chicago Tampa. Yeah, I'm the guy. I watched

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of that ugly, ghastly football game, and a

174
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: little part of me, like maybe one point eight percent,

175
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: thought when Justin Fields got the ball, having to go

176
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: ninety seven ish yards with two three minutes left, whatever

177
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: it was against Tampa, I was like, maybe Justin's got

178
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: a chance, Maybe he's got it. And of course I

179
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: said one percent because I knew. I was on tex

180
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: Change with Buddy, who was also gambled on the game.

181
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: I knew there was no shot.

182
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: And of course, unlike the third play, Justin Fields throws

183
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: a pick six to a linebacker who's.

184
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Like four yards in front of him.

185
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, like a two yard pick six, That's

186
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: what it was. Tried to throw a screen pass in

187
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the field from his own three yard line.

188
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: He was in the end zone.

189
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: But it was like, Justin Fields, what are you doing.

190
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: And I watched a lot of that game, guys, the

191
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: scripted stuff, early fields, some more look good, the touchdown fields,

192
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: makes the run all right fields. This is what we expected, Bears,

193
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: is we got this.

194
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: I never saw none of it the rest of the way.

195
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I can say.

196
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: A lot of the words, but basically, the only reason

197
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: this game was remotely close is because Tampa imploded in

198
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: the red zone one for four, they had a field

199
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: goal blocked. Otherwise, this is you know, Tampa, you know,

200
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: thirty eight Bears thirteen or something like. That's how bad

201
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: Chicago played. They've got something happened to their I think

202
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: it was a defensive line, codes, defensive coordinator, just personal reasons.

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: You got injuries in the secondary, aide Jackson left. I

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: did hype Chicago in the offseason. I like their chances.

205
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: I like why they spent in free agency. I like

206
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Claypool bouncing back week two after the bad Week one, folks,

207
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: which is not official. I'm not ready to take an

208
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: l on my Bears. Take that they're going to go

209
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: to the playoff. It's a major uphill climb. Like the

210
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears have dug themselves a hole. Deep enough that

211
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I think you come out of this weekend asking yourself

212
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: is Justin Field's a guy holding the ball a long

213
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: ass time in the pocket. I think he took five sacks.

214
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Justin Fields could do no right against Tampa Bay. This

215
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: is a team Kirk Cousins shredded last week for like

216
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty yards. And then Cousins, you know,

217
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: a couple fumbles bad at red zone, pick six, red

218
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: zone interception. Sorry, and it's like, okay, well, Kirk Cousins

219
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: moved the ball and down the field. Justin Field should

220
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: be able to you know, and the Bears are just like,

221
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: we got nothing. We can't protect fields. He's not scrambling

222
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: the way we really need him to. He's trying to

223
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: win from the pocket. I'm sure that's like, hey, Justin

224
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: you took a lot of hits last year, bro, try

225
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: to win for the pocket. It ain't working. And the

226
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: big knock on him was slow progression. I think someone

227
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember if they came on this podcast or not,

228
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: but someone.

229
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: Said he had slow eyes.

230
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Which you feels like a really harsh dig but feels

231
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: he doesn't look like the guy. And we know Chicago,

232
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be looking at a quarterback if they're

233
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: drafting in the top five.

234
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: And I don't want to bail on fields.

235
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: I like him, but he's running out of chances, Like

236
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: this is a league where you're not gonna put up

237
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: with three years of ineptitude, you know. Yeah, we talked

238
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: about that class a couple of weeks ago here on

239
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: the podcast. Like Zach Wilson bro probably cooked. I think

240
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: it's over, Okay, Mac Jones struggle bus is real.

241
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: Although Patriots put up fight two weeks.

242
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: In a row in the fourth quarter. They do have

243
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the greatest coach in the history of football. But nevertheless,

244
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: who is the other one from that class? I forgot

245
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: But basically Trevor Lawrence is the guy carrying the banner

246
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: for that class, and oh Trey Lance was the other guy. Yeah,

247
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: he's inactive for Dallas two straight weeks. So like that

248
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: class that's the COVID year is looking really, really bad.

249
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: The good thing is, if you watch any college football Saturday,

250
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ballers in college football. As a

251
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: fly attacks me in my own house, there's a lot

252
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in college football who can come. So I

253
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: would say justin, Justin Field. D're on the clock here, buddy.

254
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: I know one can't.

255
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Man can't raise an entire team, but Chicago seems to

256
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: be on their way to a top five draft pick.

257
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think Justin Fields will be the starter

258
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: next year. If this is a four win team, I

259
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: just think his time will be over there. It will

260
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: be the move to back up. Maybe they trade him,

261
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: somebody wants to take a chance, but it doesn't feel

262
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: like it's happening for Justin Fields.

263
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: One other quick thing.

264
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: What was the I had another good one? I'm looking

265
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: at the straight fire chat. I can't obviously, you guys

266
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: cannot be privy to this. You don't want to fire

267
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: someone two weeks into the season, and that's not happening.

268
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: But I think it's evident that Brandon Staley probably is

269
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: going to be having a meeting.

270
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: With the team owner of the Chargers this week.

271
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: The Chargers have now blown two second half leads and

272
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: lost both of them. And nobody wants to blame Herbert

273
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: because he's really really good and he's super talented, and

274
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: that offense look good. They led eleven to nothing, fourteen

275
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: to ten. The problem is this defense, and you guys

276
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: know Brandon Staley made his bones as a defensive guy.

277
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Right He was the defensive coordinator on I think the

278
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: Rams team went to the Super Bowl and everybody loved

279
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: him and his defense's calling card was, we don't give

280
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: up the big play. We'll keep everything in front of us.

281
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: We'll concede the small stuff. We're not gonna give up

282
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: the big play. So they're leading, Just so I get

283
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: this correct, they're leading. The Chargers are eleven nothing. Keenan

284
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: Allen just just scored. I put out some effusive tweet

285
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: about how good the Chargers look. They're gonna drop thirty.

286
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: This offense is humming Kellen Moore's clicking. The Titans get

287
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: the ball back after the kickoff and they go, are

288
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: you ready for this? They go three plays, seventy nine

289
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: yards touchdown.

290
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: On the very first.

291
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Play, Ryan Tannehill, who could not throw the football to

292
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: save his life last week, uncorks a bomb and you're like,

293
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: oh cool. As soon as he on corks and you're like, oh,

294
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: safety will be there to pick it off. They had

295
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: the safety in the box, worried about Derek Henry. On

296
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: first down runs, Treylon burks roasts and I mean just

297
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: totally Cooks a Sante Samuel with speed that you're like, Holy,

298
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: col Burks is a player and just catches seventy yard

299
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: pass Samuel makes a tackle.

300
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: So last week it was J. C. Jackson getting roasted.

301
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: Now a Sante Samuel not great. Two plays later, Titans

302
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: getting the end zone, and now we got a game.

303
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: And the Titans continued. The Titans, who could not find

304
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: the end zone last week, continued to.

305
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: Generate explosive plays.

306
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill ten point three yards per attempt, Derrick Henry

307
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: twenty five for eighty, Tajy Spears.

308
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: Who looked good.

309
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: I got him in fantasy just in case Henry goes down,

310
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: but he's a good player, eight for forty nine. Pretty

311
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: explosive Tannehill. Out of TV Rush, they had one, two,

312
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: three explosive pass plays. This is a team that could

313
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: not get of its out get out of its.

314
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: Own way in New Orleans last week.

315
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,239
Speaker 1: So does that mean the Saints are really good defensively

316
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: or the Chargers just stink?

317
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: And it might be a little of both.

318
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: Tannehill was sacked five times, but he didn't turn it over.

319
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: And that's the weird thing. The turnovers in this league

320
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: change things.

321
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: So much.

322
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so many of these games just flip

323
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: on turnovers. Can you could like Tampa Bay is two

324
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and zero. They were predicted to be one of the

325
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: worst teams in the league. They're not gonna be good,

326
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: we canna establish that. But in the turnover department they

327
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: have zero turnovers and their opponents have five.

328
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're.

329
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Gonna win games when you got a plus two plus

330
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: three in turnovers. That's just how it goes. And I

331
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't really know what to say if you

332
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: are Brandon Staley, other than I hope we can figure

333
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: this out.

334
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: I'll talk about the games that I have bet.

335
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: I made three, well, two stupid bets. The other one

336
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: I made was for Week three Chargers Vikings. I already

337
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: went over fifty two. We saw the Vikings tendency to

338
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: give up big plays to an Eagles offense that didn't

339
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: look great against the Patriots.

340
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,119
Speaker 2: So I bet over fifty two.

341
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: Chargers Vikings probably gonna be adjusted Jefferson game, given how

342
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,479
Speaker 1: the Chargers have been exposed against TUA, against Tannehill.

343
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: I mean, what is Kirk Cousin's gonna do?

344
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: So I took the over fifty two in that, so

345
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what you do with Stalley. Remember right

346
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: before the season, I had two predictions for the Chargers.

347
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: One was they go to the Super Bowl. Talent's there.

348
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: The other on was they win seven games and they

349
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: fire their coach and they bring on Jim Harball.

350
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. Cow Hurd seems to think Kellen.

351
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Moore will get a chance to stay, and that very

352
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: well may happen, but I think the reality is, if

353
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: you ever want.

354
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: To compete, you've got to stop be doing things.

355
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: On the cheaps fanos and make a run at Jim Harball,

356
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: like that's the guy. I don't think they will go

357
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: after Dion Sanders. It's just Deon's doing some good things.

358
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: And they had a thriller Saturday, and I'm not gonna

359
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: have time to talk about it. I did stay up

360
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: and watch it. They had no business winning that game,

361
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: and they pulled that out in double overtime. But it's

362
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: time to bring on an off somebody with a semblance

363
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: of offense or a really really really damn good coach.

364
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: And I mean again, I don't want to Barry Staley.

365
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: He did start slow last year and then they came

366
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: on and we were able to sneak in the playoffs

367
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: before blowing that massive lead. But they have now blown

368
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: three their last three games Staley's coached. He's blown Second Athletes,

369
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: Jags on the road in the playoffs, Dolphins at home,

370
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: and now in Tennessee. This Vikings game must win or

371
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that Staley makes it to Halloween. Now,

372
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: the good news is for the Chargers, if you're looking

373
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: for good news, is that the Chiefs have not looked incredible.

374
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: And I I've given Mahomes a bit of a pass.

375
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: Naturally, sky Moore, Kadarius Tony, they come through this week.

376
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: Of course I dropped Skyborne one league he catch his touchdown.

377
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: Of course, the Chiefs have not looked good. I think

378
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: that's a midweek podcast. They've looked mortal. Remember all the

379
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes stats. Now that's a team that

380
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: lost a turnover battle three to one and still got

381
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: the win.

382
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: And then you started, WHOA Jacksonville?

383
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: What's going on with you guys? You almost lost to

384
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: Indy and now Jacksonville sputtering and struggling and it did

385
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: not look good. Is the Chiefs defense real?

386
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. So there's so many good stories. The

387
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: third one.

388
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: I think I'll wrap up because I listen. I always

389
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: say I want to cover every game, and Rob G's like, no,

390
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: you need to find three hits that you love. I'll

391
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: get to the Jets at the end. I have to

392
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets.

393
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: But I think before this.

394
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: The surprise division leader. I mean, I don't think the

395
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: Bucks is that much of a surprise at two and oh.

396
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: The division is awful and it doesn't really mean anything.

397
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is Washington at two and oh in

398
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: the NFC East, Dallas is two and.

399
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Oh with a plus sixty point differential. They've smashed the

400
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: Giants and Jets.

401
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is like an unimpressive two and zero. And then

402
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: Sam Howell going to altitude in Denver orchestrating a comeback.

403
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: From down twenty one to three.

404
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: Then they survived the Hail Mary due to a missed

405
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: penalty passitor appearance on the two pointer, which was very obvious.

406
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: But folks, that was a hell of a comeback by

407
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: Sam Howell and Rob G Robb.

408
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: He's not with us.

409
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Today, he's on another vacation. I don't know who takes

410
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: vacations in the middle of the football season, but he

411
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: also had his kid's birthday, so.

412
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 2: He had Washington go into the playoffs and after two

413
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: elicten they.

414
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: Were not impressive against Arizona. A lot of people faded

415
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: them and ran to back Denver. I did not in

416
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: the contest. I gotta look, I don't think I bet Denver.

417
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my list.

418
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 2: I did not have Denver. They were favored.

419
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: And I think the second biggest story later in the

420
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: week will be will be this Sean Payton ru So

421
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: Wilson thing. Maybe I can wrap up with that. But

422
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: this Washington team is frisky. The defense showed up today.

423
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: Now you could say they've beaten two teams that.

424
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 2: Are win less, Arizona and now Denver.

425
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: And I don't totally know how to get a handle

426
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: on what Washington is. But fun stat Ron Rivera has coached.

427
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: I think it's fifty one. I've got all these notes

428
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: because I'm such a nerd on Sundays. So Ron Rivera,

429
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I believe he's coached fifty one games in his career

430
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: at Washington. He never scored thirty five points. Eric b

431
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: Enemy second game as offensive coordinator gets up to thirty

432
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: five points.

433
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: What does that mean? I don't know, does it mean nothing.

434
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Denver's got a good defense at McLaurin, had

435
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: a nice catch the kid Brian Robinson on my bench

436
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: in fantasy.

437
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: He had a hell of a game. And I don't know.

438
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: You just look at this Washington team and you're like, ooh,

439
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: they're frisky. We know the Giants are going down. Saquon Barkley.

440
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: We'll see on his knee injury. Hope he's okay.

441
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: But just that NFC East with three teams two and

442
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: oh is.

443
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Pretty incredible to me. I'm stunned at that. All Right,

444
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: we will quickly go I think not my hottest take

445
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: for week two, but my hottest take going forward.

446
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: I gotta check who they play.

447
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this in showering before the podcast. Yes,

448
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm obviously thinking about the NFL while I'm in the shower,

449
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: because you know that's what hardcore degenerates like myself do.

450
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: I need to look at real quick the schedule for

451
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos because my take is that at oh

452
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: and two this week's game for Denver is massive.

453
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: They oh, Denver goes.

454
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: To Miami and the two and oh Dolphins. Let me

455
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: see if I can find a line on this game,

456
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: because folks, I let's see if there's a one pm

457
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: start in the one pm heat, yes, oh man, that

458
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to monitor the weather. This is already

459
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: at DraftKings, by the way, where you can bet it's

460
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: already up to seven. I think we're gonna see it.

461
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: I might have to grab this after I'm done recording.

462
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: It's at six and a half. Now that's a big

463
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: number to lay with Miami at home. But folks, this

464
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: is what's brewing in Denver. I mean, Russell Wilson is

465
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: getting booed there in the second half, Like I know,

466
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Judy returned and Courtland something looked good and rust did it?

467
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: Complete the hail?

468
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: Mary puts a little lipstick on a pig there. Denver

469
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: does not look good.

470
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: You're up twenty one to three. You gotta close him out.

471
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: Where's p Ryan? Where's Davonte Williams? What happened? And unfortunately

472
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: Russ happened?

473
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: He was not very good when it mattered, And all

474
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden you've got this situation where is there

475
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: some jeopardy of Sean Payton losing the locker room if

476
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: he sticks with Russ too long. This is a franchise

477
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: that I think has n't been in the playoffs in

478
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: seven or eight years.

479
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: Peyton was called in to change it up.

480
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: Not looking good, and let's be realistic. If Denver goes

481
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: to Miami and they can't slow down this two juggernaut,

482
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: do we start looking at possibly possibly a quarterback change

483
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: in Denver. There's a reason Stidham's there. Okay, Now, Vic

484
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: Fangio was the in Miami DC.

485
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: He's the guy. Peyton. We all know this.

486
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Peyton wanted him badly in Denver, worst kept secret in

487
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: the league, won a Vic, and now he has to

488
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: face Vic's defense. If Denver struggles here, folks would not

489
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: be surprised to see Jarrett Stidham under center at some

490
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: point in Week three. And oh, by the way, the

491
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: only other quarterback. I'm not calling for us to be benched.

492
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying if he struggles, then they continue. But after

493
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: watching Texas Bama, it was very clear to me that

494
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: Jaln Milroe ain't the guy in Alabama. Well, he got

495
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: benched and they played two quarterbacks at Alabama on Saturday.

496
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: Neither of them were good.

497
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: Alabama won a really ugly game against some bad team,

498
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: and it's like, what are we.

499
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: Doing at quarterback?

500
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: Like you can see when it's obvious deadver they got problems.

501
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: I will wrap up quickly before the best bets on

502
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: on Monday inn football. I'll wrap up with some thoughts

503
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: on the Jets defense wasn't great. I saw some people

504
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: were going after Sauce. I guess Sauce Gardner deleted his

505
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Twitter or something I won on his Instagram stories and

506
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: he put I'm having a sophomore slump because I gave

507
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: up four catches for nineteen yards, and then he did

508
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: something with a briefcase emoji like I'm going to work.

509
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: Okay, well, not much work to do this week, Sauce.

510
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: Patriots don't have any good receivers. I think it's a

511
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: must win for the Jets. Why well, the Chiefs are

512
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: looming in week four. So Zach Wilson did not look great,

513
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: No surprise there. Breese Hall unhappy with four carries. Obviously,

514
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett did not leave a tight end in to

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: help against Micah Parsons.

516
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you had all.

517
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Week to prepare, bro, that's the best shit you could

518
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: come up with. Like, yeah, I'm a little ticked off,

519
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: like It was a disappointing performance all around from the Jets.

520
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: You had one awesome plague Zach Wilson.

521
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: Facing man defense.

522
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: What do you know if throws a dark Garrett Wilson

523
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: takes it to the house like dropping a zone defense.

524
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson throws a pick like like we need to

525
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,719
Speaker 1: get the ball to Breeze Hall. I'm hearing people say,

526
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook look washed. No, it's just Breese Hall looks

527
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: explosive as hell.

528
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: Defense was fine. Here's the bigger concern.

529
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: Defense on the field for eighty three plays historically, and

530
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: I think it was ta who had this last year.

531
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Teams that are on the field for over eighty plays

532
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: the next week not good.

533
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 2: There were two teams. I'll let you guys figure out

534
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: the other one. Do some homework.

535
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: We'll have to look into it. Like you lose to

536
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Zach is bad at home and he's booed.

537
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Look what happened again against the Patriots last year. You're

538
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: now one and two and you play the Kansas City Chiefs,

539
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: who at that point will be humming at one in three.

540
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: I think you really got to.

541
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: Get serious about this Kirk Cousins stuff. If you think

542
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: that the season has a chance, and the AFC does

543
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: not look great.

544
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: Nobody looks good. Nobody. I mean Bengals O and two.

545
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: Chargers OZ and two Bills one in one and you

546
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: have a win in the bag over there. So like

547
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: I think, you basically give Zach Wilson one more.

548
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: Week before you believe, maybe.

549
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: Two before you seriously start to kick the tires on

550
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: this Kirk Cousins edition.

551
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching

552
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: the games is making money while you do it. Here's

553
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: your best bet.

554
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: The other two bets I made for Week three very early,

555
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: very stupid, both road favorites obvious pay not huge bets.

556
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get a number before they get

557
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: to the next number. I took the Bills at six

558
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: and a half against Washington.

559
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: Again.

560
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to what I said about Buffalo.

561
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: When Buffalo faces good teams, good defenses.

562
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: They might struggle. I know Washington's two and oh, I

563
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: don't know that they're good, and.

564
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: I did hype up, hype them up a little and

565
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: wonder what they're ceiling is. Yet they're in the NFC

566
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: now they have to step up and class to face

567
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What do Buffalo Bills do to the

568
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: good teams struggle? What do they do against the crap teams?

569
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: Kick their ass? We just saw it with the Raiders.

570
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: I think covering seven is totally in play for Josh

571
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The other one I made,

572
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: and this is even dumber Road favorite. So I saw

573
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: Dallas Sunday.

574
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: Night was minus thirteen.

575
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Jason, don't bet double digit favorites. Don't bet Road double

576
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: digit favorites at Arizona. I think this gets to fourteen,

577
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: and there's no way in hell I'm taking Arizona. By

578
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: the way, how about Arizona two and oats. I think

579
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: I saw Arizona in the second half was down to

580
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: their third string center, and the Giants started to get pushed,

581
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: started to wreak havoc. Parsons in company are going to

582
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: obliterate that defensive line. The only way Dallas slips up

583
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: here is they get caught looking ahead. But I think

584
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: this is the spot where the wheels kind of come

585
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: off for.

586
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: Gannet and company.

587
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: And again, Gannon's from the Eagles, so he knows this

588
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: Dallas team. By the way, Dallas shredded Philly late in.

589
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: The season last year.

590
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Now, I know it was Minshew and not Hurts, but

591
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: I think Dak and company put up like thirty eight,

592
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: and yes, some of it was aided by a Minshoe

593
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: picked six.

594
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: I think.

595
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: I took Dallas two expensive road favorites to do with that,

596
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: which you will Monday Night football. I don't have either

597
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: of these in the contest, but I have over. I'm

598
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: the only guy with an over on Saints Carolina over

599
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: thirty nine and a half, Cleveland Pitt under forty one.

600
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: Programming note, I'm rooting for the Saints.

601
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: And there's back to back Monday Night football games this

602
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: week and next week.

603
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: Very cool.

604
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland sounds like they're not going to have a Mari Cooper.

605
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to fade Tomlin at home as a dog.

606
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: I just don't want to.

607
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: But I think Cleveland wins here.

608
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: I think they're the side. I think Chubb as a

609
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: monster game and I'm gonna need it in fantasy, and

610
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm rooting Saints. I think they're gonna do a fine job.

611
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen against a young quarterback Bryce Young. The numbers

612
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: are not good for rookie quarterbacks in these primetime games.

613
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: I don't have them in front of me, but I

614
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: have them in one of my many notepads, so I

615
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: like Saints and.

616
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: Cleveland, two road teams.

617
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: Tonight, it's a lengthy solo. Monday Pod will be back tomorrow.

618
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: Back every day this week because the Takes.

619
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 2: They don't sleep. Baby talk to you guys tomorrow
