1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Air Straight Fire for Friday, October eleventh. Oh boy, you

4
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: know the weekends off to a good start when the

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Niners get the cover and the total sails all the

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: way over. How about San Fran bouncing back easy dub

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: over Seattle on the road, Seahawks reeling. We'll get to

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: that in a moment. Got to give a shout out

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: to my Yankees for advancing. There was some concern after

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: the Game two loss. Garret Cole was just diabolical with

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: the stuff. On Thursday night, Yankees advance. They will play

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: the winner of Guardians and Tigers. I have not watched

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: one pitch of that series. Yeah, so it was a

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: fun nine Sports that I should add that the great

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: Foxes took down the number one team with the Monstars.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Now a little controversy. Tim o'thay mosgolf or Rob. I'm

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: sure he'll be disappointed did not show. He apparently went

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: back to Russia for a little while. I don't know

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: how long would be gone now. I don't know if

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: Richard Jefferson called wind of it, but he was just

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: a no show and it was just disappointing. But we

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 2: had two of our other horses, and man, the league.

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: I had a buddy show up and he came to

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: watch the game because he, you know, had heard he

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: had seen us in the first season and was like, oh, yeah,

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: you guys are dominating this. We're winning most games by

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: twenty points. Well the league has gotten a lot better

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: and younger. And he after like five minutes, he's like, dude,

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: what what is happened to this league? It's like there's

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: like all superstars. I mean, it's it's a tough league.

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: Your boy had a rough night. Just leave it at that.

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: When you don't see me post highlights on the gram,

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: that means I missed all my hots. I'm not gonna lie.

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: Keeping it a hunted for the podcast crowd. Anyways, let's

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: get to real sports. Niners thirty six, Seahawks twenty four.

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: This should surprise nobody. What should be the big surprise

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: here is the Seattle defense. All of a sudden went

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: from oh, these guys are kind of nice, like we're

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: looking at Seattle defense that really contain Miami. And in

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: the opener against bo Nicks, Bo Knicks didn't do much.

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: They had one legitimate drive. You know, Seattle defense has

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: got a lot of players and now here we are

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: three games in a row. They could not stop Daniel Jones.

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: They gave up. I had to look this up. Five

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: scoring drives against the Lions of seventy or more yards

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers last night had a ninety

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: yard drive resulting in a field goal, seventy six yard

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: touchdown drive on the past debo, seventy seven yard drive

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: for a field goal, seventy yard drive for a touchdown,

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: eighty one yard drive for a touchdown. Seattle can't stop anybody,

51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: and that is a major problem when you got to

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: rely on Geno Smith. Who listen, he's been solid, but

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: you're not gonna win football games when Gino Smith is

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: throwing fifty two passes. Okay, it's gonna result in turnovers

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have a lot of three and ounces

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: and a lot of oh geez, what are we doing?

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: Remember Seattle was aided by that massive kickoff return or

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: this game potentially is a just a humongous blowout. San

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: fran look good. I'll say this though, Damn they keep

60
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: getting unlucky. Deebo Samuel goes down, dinged up. I think

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: he returned. George Kittle went down. He had a good game.

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: Kittle with two touchdown catches, but he got injured. And

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: then the big one is Jordan Mason went down first

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: half with a what appeared to be a rib injury,

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: collar bone somewhere somewhere on his torso ish area. He

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: came back for one carry in the second half and

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: then never returned. So what do the Ninners do. They

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: plug in their latest running back from the system. Isaac

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: Guarendo went to Louisville with a fourth round pick. He

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: breaks off a seventy six yard carry and is like, Oh,

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: that's our new guy in fantasy, everybody's gonna be racing

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: to the waiver wire to get Isaac Guarendo. As the

73
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Niners throttle, Seattle get back to five hundred. In an

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: interesting twist, nobody in the NFC West is over five hundred,

75
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: and this is one of I think the better divisions

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: in football. The Rams have a lot of talent, they

77
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: just are injured. The forty nine ers are very injured.

78
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: They probably have the most talent of anyone in the

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: league when healthy, and the Seattle Seahawks have a lot

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: of talent, they're injured, they got a lot of guys

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: down on the defensive line. They can't stop the run

82
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: right now, it's brutal. I mean, some random dude off

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: the street for the New York Giants, some rookie named

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: Tracy rush for a buck twenty eight. Are you ready

85
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: for this? Seattle thirty three carries two hundred and twenty

86
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: eight yards. Now, I know a lot of that was

87
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: skewed by this seventy six yard rumble by Gorrendo, but

88
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: let's be real, even if you strip that out, they

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: still rush for a buck fifty at at almost five

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: yards a clip. So I don't know how the Seattle

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: defense gets right here. They clearly are having major issues

92
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: against the run, and it's putting Gino Smith behind the

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: eight ball. Next up for Seattle is the Atlanta Falcons.

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: That's a bit of an easier task, and then it

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: gets bills, rams niners. I don't know, all of a sudden,

96
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: Seattle is like, ooh, we're in a tough spot, Rob, Yeah.

97
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And this game I think said it just as

98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: much about Seattle did about San Francisco as you alluded to.

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: When the season started. The first three weeks of the season,

100
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: the Seahawks defense was great. Now, part of it was

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: the competition, but you know, fourteen points allowed under two

102
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: hundre and fifty total yards per allowed like EPA, all

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: the advanced metrics, they were first across the board in

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: a lot of major categories. And then the last two

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: weeks they're allowing thirty five points a game over four

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: under yards of offense per game and all the advanced

107
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: analytics EPA yards will play at twenty eight thirty thirty one.

108
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: So this team, which their identity should be defense first.

109
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they've got DK metcalf and and

110
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 3: JSNS pretty good, but this should be a defensive minded team.

111
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: They have a defensive minded coach, they have a defensive culture,

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: and if they can't play good defense, it doesn't matter

113
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: who you got a quarterback, they're not going to be

114
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: successful because you know, people are saying, hey, Gino Smith

115
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: kind of showed us who he was the last few weeks.

116
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: You know, he's turning the ball over lot. He had

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: some brutal interceptions against the Niners. But if you look

118
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: at just the raw, you know, not the advance that's

119
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 3: but the raw numbers. Their offense is basically the same

120
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: from the first three weeks of the last couple of weeks.

121
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: The difference is the defense is falling off a cliff

122
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: and Gino Smith is not a quarterback who's going to

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: come back and win these games without having the positive

124
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: game scripts. On the flip side, with San Francisco, they

125
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: were I know, you can't see that we're not doing

126
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: on the video right now. You were this close to

127
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: blowing another double digit lead. Yeah, they were a health

128
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: twenty points in the second half, and were it not

129
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: for an egregious interception by Gino Smith there in the

130
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: third quarter, we might.

131
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: Be having a different conversation. Well, wait, what did you

132
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: think of that punt snafu where it looked like the

133
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: Seattle guy pushed the sand Frame guy into the Seattle returner.

134
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: The ball clearly hit the Seattle returner's hand and they

135
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: didn't overturn it. I don't know. It looked to me

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: and it sounded like al Michaels and Herbstreet thought that

137
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: it was about call.

138
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And I know this is something that was

139
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: kind of trickling late in the overnight hours. So if

140
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: you haven't seen it, yet this morning, I understand not you, Jason,

141
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: but our listeners. According to the broadcast after the game,

142
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: it was revealed that the reason why that play was

143
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: not overturned to a fumble, which it was because it

144
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: touched him and it was clearly off of the Partmerturner,

145
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: is because the people in the NFL replay offfices did

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: not have access to the high resolution video that the

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: Amazon Prime broadcast had, So all of the listeners are

148
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: sho be All of the viewers across the country who

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: are watching that game live are seeing clear as day

150
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: the ball bounce up touched two of his fingers and

151
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: kind of whatever go out of bounds. They couldn't see

152
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: that in the league offices, So that right there is

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: a problem in of itself, like how is it possible

154
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: that Amazon has better cameras than the NFL does. Going

155
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: back from my party about San Francisco, they almost gave

156
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: that one away. We're in not Forritino spit interception, and

157
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: there's something about this team that it just it leaves

158
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: you wanting more. And to your point, they're three and

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: three and thankfully the division has kind of come back

160
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: to them a little bit, so they're not too bad

161
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: of a shape. But they got to get whatever it

162
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: is that's ailing them under control, whether it's to the

163
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: red zone, office that simple as they can't score in

164
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: the red zone if they can get that corrected. But

165
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: you know, defensively missing a lot of tackle that a

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: couple of big, you know, turnover plays, so that kind

167
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: of splash plays that kind of saved them a little bit.

168
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: But there there's just something missing from this team. And well, yeah,

169
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: they got to get under control. Well, I think pant

170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: and Lucas the right tackle situation has killed them. They

171
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: started a gentleman by the name of stone Forsythe sounds

172
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: like a porns an adult male star at right tackle.

173
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: And I saw the numbers that he did against nick Bosa.

174
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: So they were head to head on twenty seven matchups.

175
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa registered a quarterback pressure on eleven of twenty

176
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: seven of his pass rushes against stone Forsythe he was

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: getting to the quarterback and putting pressure on him. That's

178
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: just that's that's unsustainable. You cannot win if you can't

179
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: block Nick Bosa like you gotta have no chance. And Gino,

180
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: what listen, they got no run game with this line

181
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: all messy. They like, I mean, Kenneth Walker has no airspace.

182
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: It's just it's not great. But again, health is everything.

183
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: Like we talked about, was it Derek Carr lost his center?

184
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm spacing on they got Ruiz? Is it? I forget

185
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: the guy's name. Yeah, they lost him against Philly and

186
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: it was like Philly dominated the inside the line. What

187
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: happened in the very next game against the Chiefs, Oh,

188
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: let's blitz up the middle every time, and car hates

189
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: that pressure. He ends up getting hurt on a blitz

190
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: like the game up the middle, and now he's out

191
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: for a few weeks. And it's like you, if you

192
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: can't get the offensive line right, you really don't have

193
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: a chance in this league. And see a Seattle's just

194
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: in dire straits right now. I am just curious real quick, Rob.

195
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: I thought this was another master class from brock perty

196
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: He is so smart. It watching him elevate in the

197
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: pocket and shift, he always seems under control. Well, he

198
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to get rattled and like make dumb plays,

199
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: and that's not something you can coach. I think that's

200
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: just like a cool under pressure I watched. Are you

201
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: watching the show it's called like obliterated. I think have

202
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: you heard about it? No, it's on Netflix. It's like

203
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: some Seal Team six in Vegas and they're, you know,

204
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: trying to solve some crime, but then they solve what

205
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: they think is the crime, and then they go out partying,

206
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: and then they find out after doing all these drugs

207
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: that they didn't solve the crime, and so they've got

208
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: to like get back on it. And you have to

209
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: have poised under pressure in all these situations, and it's

210
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: tough to do that when you're on drugs and have

211
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: been drinking. Brock Perty looks never rattled in the pocket.

212
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Some of these quarterbacks are like happy feed seeing ghosts.

213
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm just I think Berty's kind of that guy.

214
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: Oh, brock Party. I mean, I've been on the brock

215
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: Party bandwagon for over a year now. I think brock

216
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: Purty is fantastic. He's not just good for a mis irrelevant,

217
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: he's not just good for a late run, but he's

218
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: just a good quarterback period. And we talked about this

219
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: on the podcast earlier this week. A lot of the

220
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: quarterback evaluators kept saying, I know the stats don't say it,

221
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: but Brock Purty is better this season than he was

222
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: last season. He's doing more outside of structure. He's pushing

223
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: the ball down the field more, better tight window throwing,

224
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: like you're seeing more from Brock Purty than even last

225
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: year when he was an MVP finalist. Yeah, and up

226
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: until last night, the numbers didn't quite bear that out.

227
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: He was, you know, really uneven, especially the last two weeks,

228
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: two touchdown, three picks and completing less than fifty five

229
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: percent of his passes. Well, now you factor in this

230
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: gem that he puts together on Thursday night, the two

231
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: fifty five to three scores, no picks, and very quietly

232
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: he's top eight and passer rating. I mean, I mean

233
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: he now he's number one in yards because he has

234
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: one extra game, but before that he was in the

235
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: top five and yards.

236
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: He's very very.

237
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: Quietly evolving into an upper echelon quarterback. And if you

238
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: don't believe me, here's the stud that's gonna blow your mind.

239
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: Last night against Seattle on passes over ten air yards,

240
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: which you know nowadays everyone's didinking and Dunky, you know,

241
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: Patrick Barhoms multi, Yeah, exactly, Rock Purty last night six

242
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 3: for nine, one sixty five two touchdowns, one hundred and

243
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: forty nine passery Like, okay, what's just one game. You

244
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: know it's not a big deal. On the season, Rock

245
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: Purty on passes over ten air yards, pushing the ball

246
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 3: down the field, not just relying on the dink and

247
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: dunk yards after catch fifty of seventy nine, just under

248
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: eleven hundred yards, five touchdowns, one pick, a passer rating

249
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: of one twenty two point seven. Like Brock Purty is

250
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: you know this side of maybe Joe Burrow, And I mean,

251
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: I guess Lamar Jackson, like he's having a great season

252
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: right now for quarterback and now that you're seeing the

253
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: advanced stats or excuse mean, the counting stats are catching

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: up to the advanced stats, and it's just the joy

255
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 3: to watch him play. I'm glad that we're people are

256
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: finally starting to recognize that Rock Party is the real deal.

257
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, the numbers have made him a top ten quarterback.

258
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: Nobody wanted to see it, but I don't know. I'm

259
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: I'm ready to put him right on the fringe of

260
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: that Mahomes Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, like, I think

261
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: he's in that class, dude, I think he's maybe not

262
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: like right with them, but he's knocking on the door.

263
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: You know, if they're all a quarterbacks ninety or above

264
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: to use like a high school metric, he's like at

265
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: worse than eighty nine. I mean, I just and I

266
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: don't want to play this game where it's like, hey, hey,

267
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: put in uh, put Rock Purty on the Cowboys. Let's

268
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: see how he doesn't. I don't want to do that.

269
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: That's pointless, that's stupid. That's not happening, you know, like

270
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: put Rock Perty on the Panthers, gonna do anything. I mean,

271
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes can't do shit with them. With the Panthers,

272
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,359
Speaker 2: come on, like Patrick.

273
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: Mahomes, honest, Patrick Mahomes not doing much with the Chiefs either.

274
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: That's great.

275
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: The NFL in interceptions, mid in every single category, passer

276
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: rating QBR yards per game.

277
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: So yes, now, if you put Mahomes on the Niners

278
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: with Debo and Brandon Ayuk. By the way, he still hasn't.

279
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we thought he woke up last week, but

280
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: he still seems a bit sputtering a little bit. But

281
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: this was a big one for the Chiefs because next

282
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: up after their little break here, big showdown against the

283
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs the Super Bowl rematch in San fran

284
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: and then they have the Cowboys after that. Holy hell,

285
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: So they have primetime Seahawks. Then they go the four

286
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: to twenty five Island on that Island game, but like

287
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: the premier game against the Chiefs on Fox. Then they

288
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: got Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys, and then they

289
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: have their bye week after that. So a bit of

290
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: a gauntlet here, But the Niners season continues and forges ahead.

291
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: They're gonna be okay. I don't know if they're gonna

292
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: ever get McCaffrey back. What you what's your guest, Rob?

293
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. The information coming out of

294
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: the news outlets is conflicting, right because everyone's saying, hey,

295
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: he's working out, he's no setbacks, they're expecting him back

296
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: by no November. But it's like, even if he does

297
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: come back in November, who's to say he's the old

298
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: CMC of old, Like, you know, how do you know

299
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna be able to just get thrown into twenty

300
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: two touches a game like that's what he's averaging basically

301
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: since in his San Francisco. I don't know, man, Well,

302
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: we'll see fantasy managers, I'm sure really worried about that.

303
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jordan Mason injury all the way. But by the way,

304
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: let me just toss this in there. My guy JSN,

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: I was expecting a monster year from him. I got

306
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: him in I think three of my fantasy leagues. He's

307
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: been good, but the greatness, the domination is not quite

308
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: there yet. It's I'll say this, they like him a

309
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: lot and they're targeting him. But in that game last night,

310
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, dk Metcalf, they were trying to force

311
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: feed him eleven targets and he only had three catches. Like,

312
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: I know, a lot of it was down the field stuff,

313
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: but when you're when you throw to JSN and lock it,

314
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: it feels like it's a little more on point. By

315
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: the way, Kenneth Walker short dump offs and no offense

316
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: short stuff, everything was complete down the field to Metcalf.

317
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: Struggled JSN five catches on nine targets, lock At four

318
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: on eight, and Metcalf three on eleven. Like that's just

319
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: that accuracy is not going to get it done. That

320
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: being said, I don't think the the Seahawks are in

321
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: any trouble of missing the playoffs unless somebody emerges, like

322
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: maybe Washington sticks around and Dallas and the Eagles. I

323
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,479
Speaker 2: guess then it could get a little dicey. But let's

324
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: get to best bets here on straight fire.

Speaker 1: your best bet.

331
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: In a rare weekend. I'm going to actually start with

332
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: college because the college football slate is better than the NFL.

333
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 2: This is the first weekend all season I've had I

334
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: had more in play on the college front than the NFL.

335
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: We'll start with tonight Arizona State plus five. Moving to Saturday,

336
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: I have Florida getting fourteen and a half against Tennessee

337
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: off that bad loss for the balls. Kentucky favored by

338
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: thirteen against Vandy, and Vandy, of course, is and the

339
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: mother of all letdown spots. I feel like you just

340
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: you are obliged to wager against Vandy after they spent

341
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: all weeks celebrating the goalposts ended up in some river

342
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: greatest winning school history, like you have to bet Kentucky

343
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: here in Kentucky defense is no joke either. Cal plus

344
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: three because I bet Cal every week of there a

345
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: covering machine. Nevada plus three, Memphis minus seven. Again, I

346
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: don't say you got to take all these. A lot

347
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: of these are simply number grabs. Southern miss plus six

348
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: and a half, Hawaii, Yes, Hawaii plus twenty and a

349
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: half against Boise, and I'm on the over in Boise

350
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: Hawaii over sixty one and a half. Some of these

351
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: have moved as well. Boise, of course has this incredible

352
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: running back, but maybe Hawaii makes it a little bit interesting.

353
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: I have WWVU plus three and which would be a

354
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: good game, LSU plus three and a half, Colorado State

355
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: plus one. And then in the big games, I'm on

356
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Texas minus fourteen against I think and overwhelmed Oklahoma offense.

357
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: They just I don't know how they keep up. Quhen

358
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 2: yours are starting, he's back, I just don't see how

359
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: Oklahoma keeps up. I know every game between these two

360
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: seams close, and fourteen seems like a lot of points,

361
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: but it's because this Texas team is no joke. They're very,

362
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: very good. I think they kind of put it on

363
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: them here, like a forty eight to twenty one type score.

364
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: I am in Ohio State against Oregon. It's funny because

365
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: I live in the area in California, in the South

366
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: Bay where a lot of kids end up going to Oregon.

367
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: So I know some families. Their kids are my kid's age,

368
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: and they have older kids and that kid goes to Oregon.

369
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: So I got a lot of Ducks fans and they

370
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: are so geeked about this game. This is their super

371
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 2: Bowl and this is everything. And as I allude too,

372
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: at the outside of the show, you know, I play

373
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: in the men's league. Were playing the number one team

374
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: to knocked this out of the playoffs, Like this is

375
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: I'm losing sleep during the week. Yes, I'm that much

376
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: of a dork thinking about this game. And I psyched

377
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: myself out. I was in my own head. I played poorly.

378
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: I can see that happening to Oregon here. Ohio State's like,

379
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: we're this is house money, We're on the road, we're underdogs. Now,

380
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: there are some numbers out there about these big ten

381
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: teams traveling across the country one and eight against the spread.

382
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: They're not doing well. Covering with this travel. This is

383
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: new travel, this is breaking new ground. And we saw

384
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: USC go to Michigan and we're down on the fourth.

385
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: We saw USC go to Minnesota and lose. How about

386
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 2: UCLA going to Penn State being a surprise cover there, Like,

387
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: there have not been many of those, And I'm gonna

388
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: go ahead and ride with the Buckeyes. Here. My read

389
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: is Jeremiah Smith, the freshman. I read a story about

390
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: him in the Athletic, the guy benches. He's a freshman

391
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: wide receiver like six three two ten rocked up benches,

392
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: three fifty five s watts over five hundred pounds as

393
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: a wide receiver of freshman in college, that's insanity. I

394
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: was putting up maybe a plate on each side as

395
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: a freshman in college. I mean, I think that's what

396
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: I started doing creating freshman in college. And I started

397
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: to add weights. But like, I can't even fathom putting

398
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: that up. And Smith, I'm telling you this is gonna

399
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: be is probably his national breakout game. Everybody knows who

400
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: he is, but this is his first spotlight game. Every

401
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: game of Higo State's play, they've been favored by I

402
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: think fourteen or more. This is the closest spread for

403
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: them or Oregon. And this kid Smith, just just watch him.

404
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: He like I know everybody knows Ryan Williams now of

405
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: Alabama because of that game he had against Georgia.

406
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: Smith is better.

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: There's just no way around it. I am on USC

408
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: at home against Penn State. I'm going to fade the

409
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 2: Nitney Lions here. Perhaps a stupid play on my part

410
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: because Penn State is clearly the better team, but USC

411
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: coming off a tough loss. You can't have three losses

412
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: in four games for the Trojans, and they haven't looked

413
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: good against this schedule. Wisconsin was up on him two

414
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: scores before comeback. They're gonna have to play tough against

415
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: Penn State. I have already recommended do what Vic Fangio

416
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: did against the Saints and put on at a fifth

417
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: defensive lineman and just triple dog dare them to throw

418
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 2: the ball down the field. Now they can, but they

419
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: don't want to. They want to grind USC to dust

420
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: and just bully ball them at the line. I want

421
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: to see it. Put five guys on the line and say, hey,

422
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: you know we're pulling in a safety. Come on, let's

423
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: see it go over the top. You beat us, you

424
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: beat us. I don't think James Franklin would do that.

425
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: This to me is usc It was five and a half,

426
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: it's down to three and a half, so keep an

427
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: eye on that one. But that's a lot of college

428
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: football action, probably too much in the NFL. So I've

429
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: broke it down to likely plays in the contest. That's

430
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: where I'm starting. So contest last week pissed me off.

431
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: Two and three, two tough losses. The Steelers on the

432
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: final play of the game, the Jets on the final

433
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: play of the game could have they were close to

434
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 2: the end zone. I thought they were gonna score and

435
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: get the touchdown and get the cover. Browns was just

436
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: a horrific read by me. So for the first time

437
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: in three weeks, that whole strategy of take a look

438
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: at teams that did not cover against teams it did.

439
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: It was baffo, big big bucks for two weeks, and

440
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: then last week it hit the wall and it was

441
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: two and four, and unfortunately I had the wrong wrong ones.

442
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: This week. There are three of those, and I'm looking

443
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: heavily at two of those in the contest. Patriots did

444
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: not cover last week. Texans did give me the Patriots

445
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: getting seven now early in the week, I bet Houston.

446
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: Then the Nico Collins stuff comes down. Then there's the

447
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon, then there's the Drake May. It's like, wait

448
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: a minute, this is too I'm gonna go to the

449
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: Patriots side, and I think the Patriots can make it

450
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: real interesting here. So I bought out of Texans plus

451
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: seven or Texas minus seven, and now I'm on Patriots

452
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: plus seven. Carolina Panthers did not cover last week. Falcons did.

453
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: I cannot get there with the Panthers, and I'm sure

454
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 2: they'll show up, but I just I can't do it

455
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: knowing those offensive line injuries. Falcons off extra rest, no

456
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 2: thank you, and the Bengals did not cover in what

457
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: they should have they should have, and then the Giants

458
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: did totally all over Cincinnati.

459
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Here.

460
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: By the way, did you see the Malik neighbors allegedly

461
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: went to a Travis Scott concert this week? He was

462
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: in concussion protocol and has not practiced yet. He's been

463
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: on the practice field, but he has not actually practiced.

464
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: You know, I think I told you guys, my kid

465
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: got a concussion at volleyball Nationals and could do nothing

466
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: for a month, A concert, A concert. Okay, it's putting

467
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: that out there. Go Bengals, Monday Night football. I would say,

468
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: best best two plays of the week that I have.

469
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: And you're not gonna like this at all. Well, Tampa

470
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: Bay is number one at minus three against New Orleans.

471
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: I know Tampa Bay favorite on the road. That's risky. Sure,

472
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: you know it's riskier. Spencer Rattler as a rookie on

473
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: a short week against Todd Bowles, who loves to blitz

474
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: and go at young quarterbacks. He went after Jade Daniels

475
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: and the opener and did a fine job at home.

476
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: Did less of a fine job against bon Nicks, but

477
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: that was a great spot for Denver. We were on

478
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: Denver that week. I think Tampa handles the Saints here.

479
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Saints are really really banged up all over the place.

480
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: And there's this every year. There's usually one of these

481
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: games where a team plays on Thursday, then they play

482
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: the next Sunday versus a team that just played on

483
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: Monday and plays on Sunday, so you have extra extra rest.

484
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: And it already happened once. Seattle just played on Monday

485
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: against Detroit. New York Giants had played Thursday against Dallas. Well,

486
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: New York then goes to Seattle with the extra extra

487
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: rest and kind of whips up on Seattle. This doesn't

488
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: mean that it's gonna happen every single time, but I

489
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: think you've definitely got a circle that this is not

490
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: a humongous travel situation. Tampa New Orleans is nothing big. Obviously,

491
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: there's some concern about Tampa play and their families being

492
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: displaced and what they're gonna do, and you know, looking

493
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: after everybody that that stuff's real. But I can't get

494
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: there with Spencer Ratler and the same. The wheels are

495
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: coming off the Saints. You guys saw that the offense

496
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: is just really stuck in the mud. People have figured

497
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: out Clint Kubiak after two big starts, and I like

498
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: Tampa coming off the rest minus three the other one.

499
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: And I know you're not supposed to do this is

500
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles. It's up to tens in some spots, guys,

501
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: so Cleveland, I don't think they're quitting on Kevin Stefanski.

502
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: I think they might be quitting on Deshaun Watson. Like

503
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: there's been there's been multiple times this season where he's

504
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: like yelling at players in the huddle out of frustration,

505
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: and it's like, Okay, Patrick Mahomes yells at his guys.

506
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: Totally get that. Deshaun Watson, who hasn't done jack squat

507
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: in several years. Bro, what are you yelling at your

508
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 2: statistically the worst quarterback in the league right there with

509
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 2: Bryce Young can't be yelling at people.

510
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

511
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: So I just wonder if if Philly can jump to

512
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: an early lead here. And by the way, the secondary

513
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: is really banged up delpit and concussion protocol, Denzel Ward

514
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: hurt with a hamstring. You saw when Ward went out

515
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: against Washington. Jane Daniel started to hit the big plays

516
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 2: down the field, Demmy Brown, Dary McLaurin, like, there were

517
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: guys open and Philly has an even more dangerous downfield game. Okay,

518
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: And you gotta wonder, holy boy, if Cleveland gets waxed here,

519
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: you know, forty to seventeen or something, what are we

520
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: talking about in Cleveland? They repeatedly say they're not benching

521
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, he's your guy. How long can you keep

522
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: saying that? So Philly, I know it's double digit favorites,

523
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 2: and yes, I've seen all the numbers that underdogs if

524
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: six or more, covering at one of the most ridiculous

525
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: rates ever. You guys know markets are efficient. It's gonna

526
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: correct itself, and I think it starts here with Philadelphia.

527
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: I am looking at the Bears minus two against the Jags.

528
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: I definitely am on the over in that game over

529
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: forty four and a half. I like the Titans two

530
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 2: and a half against the Colts. Nobody likes the Titans.

531
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: I have not bet on them this year. Fortunately, I've

532
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: been able to dodge a couple of grenades. But Indianapolis,

533
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: it looks like Anthony Richardson is gonna start. No Michael Pittman,

534
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: he's on the IR so you're down in your top receiver.

535
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: No Jonathan Taylor your top running back. That's not great.

536
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: Josh Downs, who was hurt now is back and now

537
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: is hurt again. It's like geez. However, the big reason

538
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: to fade them is Anthony Richardson. I just don't think

539
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 2: he's as good right now is Joe Flacko. I think

540
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: Flacco gives them a better chance to win. He wins

541
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: from the pocket, and I don't know if Richardson can.

542
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: The numbers so far say he can't. But you have

543
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: invested in Richardson, so you got to play him. So

544
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: if he's healthy, you're not playing Joe Flacco to beat

545
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: the Titans. You're playing the long game. Anthony Richardson. We

546
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: want him to be the guy. Well, if you want

547
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: him to be the guy that bad, that's fine, then

548
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: I'll take the Tennessee Titans. And again, I haven't experienced

549
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: Will Levis. If Disco's sour, oh, that might be the

550
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: last time I dip into the Will Levis experience. I'm

551
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: leaning toward the Falcons minus six. I'm on the Lions

552
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: minus three. I know a lot of people like the

553
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: Cowboys in the spot, I think the Lions are overvalued

554
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: the lines too much. Weren't the Lions just huge favorites

555
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: against Seattle at home and now they're on the road

556
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 2: minus three? How does that work? I just I'm still

557
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: kind of down on Dallas. I know they did beat

558
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and me last week, but to me, there's just

559
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: no path to victory for the Cowboys except through the air.

560
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: And sure, maybe Dak decides to throw it fifty times,

561
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: but guys, that offensive line's getting wrecked before Herbig and

562
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: Heismith went out for Pittsburgh. They were getting to Dack

563
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: all the time, and I could see Aiden Hutchison having

564
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: a field day with either Steel or Guyton, whoever he

565
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: goes up against. And as long as the secondary plays

566
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: its smart against CD Lamb, I like their chances. Now,

567
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: if you're gonna go leave Terry on Arnold or Carlton

568
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: Davis on an island with no safety help, well that

569
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: you know you're digging your own grave, because Cede Lamb's

570
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: going to beat that man coverage. So I'm on the

571
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: Lions here. This is a good spot. We'll see what

572
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: a bye is worth. Several teams coming off of by

573
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: two of them. I'm looking at Bengals and the Lions.

574
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, not Bengals, Lions and the Titans. But a

575
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: lot of the numbers say in historically the by matter,

576
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: but if you shrink to like the last five years,

577
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: it seems to matter less. Why that's unexplained to this point.

578
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: I mentioned the Bengals minus three and a half, and

579
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: I'll wrap up with this one. The Washington Commanders. Oh man,

580
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: they've cost me money three weeks so far out of five,

581
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: and now I would like to bet on them at

582
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: six and a half or seven against Baltimore and what

583
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: should be a good regional game. I know Lamar's twenty

584
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: one and one against the NFC. I just want to

585
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: remind people Jaden Daniels the Washington defense he has have

586
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: in practice all the time. He's not obviously at Lamar's level,

587
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: but this isn't gonna be a running quarterback with speed

588
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: who's going to surprise the hell out of them. And

589
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: just as a reminder, the Ravens defense stinks too big time.

590
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it. I think Daniels can

591
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: have success. I think they're legit. I think dan Quinn

592
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: could have some stuff cooked up here. Cliff Kingsbury is

593
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: gonna be ready. I think, to me, this is better

594
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: than the Lion's Cowboys, and this is the game of

595
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: the weekend. I'm very excited, and I'm gonna be on Washington.

596
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: I think all enter them in the contest. We'll see

597
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: if it gets even more chalky. I'll have to pass

598
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: because usually the most picked teams in this three million

599
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: dollar contest lose because that's what the public does. Your

600
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: boy could use it four to one or five, and oh,

601
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: I just got to put myself in position. It's like

602
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: when you're running a long race. You don't want to

603
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: fall too far behind, so you pick your spots to

604
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: stay with the pack, and then you make your move late.

605
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: But in this you can't make your move late. You

606
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: just got to like hang around till mid season then

607
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: make your move. You can't wait till like week twelve,

608
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: you know, although make your move like I can call

609
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: my shot. Okay, I'm gonna take off here it comes

610
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: a five and oh not that easy. Have a great

611
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,360
