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

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: What is up, straight.

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 3: Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire. Well, Wednesday,

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: September the eleventh. I gotta say right off the top,

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: did not watch a second of the presidential debate last night.

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 3: I could not stomach that stuff. I just don't have

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: an appetite for politics. Were you know, NFL season just started,

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: kind of have a week college football weekend ahead, but

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: there's just too much happening in my life, my family's

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 3: life to sit there and listen to these guys just

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: yell about nothing for two hours.

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: If you gotta wait for a debate like this to

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 3: decide you're voting, well, I don't know. That probably says

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: more about you than the debate. But nevertheless, we're not

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: doing politics. I came up with an idea today. I'm

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: sitting on some interesting stuff. I probably need another week's

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 3: worth of data, but I'm just gonna float this so

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 3: you guys are aware. This is probably what I'm watching

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: more closely than anything this weekend in the NFL. So,

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: first of all, you've heard me prattle on all summer

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: about how, oh, it's a wide receiver bubble. These guys

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: are overpaid. You cannot build a roster pay and your

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: quarterback a ton and then your wide receivers. A team

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: like Miami, how can they pay Waddle and Hill and

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: to Like, there's no way, you're too top heavy. The

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: Rams were able to pull off top heavy with Stafford, Donald, Cupp,

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: Ramsey because they had the most healthy offensive line ever

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: that season. The defense totally balled out. Matt Stafford bailed

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: them out of two playoff games. Remember they needed a

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: rally at so Far.

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: I was there. I remember it to beat the Niners.

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: And then in the Super Bowl, you know they Amon

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: Donald made a huge play at the end, and you

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: know they squeak it out.

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: But like, it's.

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: Really freaking hard to win a Super Bowl, especially when

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: you're so top heavy like the Dallas Cowboys. Now Dak

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: Prescott got paid, Ceed Lamb got paid, and Michaeh. Parsons

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: already talking about getting paid. Okay, fine, okay, good luck.

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: I just don't think you've got enough when you're doing that.

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: So as a result of all that, take a look

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: at what happened week one. Again, it's just one week

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: of data, all right, but only two quarterbacks through for

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: over three hundred yards last week. That's the fewest since

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: twenty ten in Week one? What is that again? I

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: don't know. It's it could just be noise, it could

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: be an off week. Certainly wasn't weather, But why only

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks throwing from more than three hundred yards? And

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: then it's amplified they the NFL had the most one

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: hundred yard rushers in Week one since twenty fourteen. We're

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: seeing a lot more teams go with the heavy packages,

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: two tight end sets, three yards in a cloud of dust,

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: and running was just about as efficient as passing in

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: Week one. Not remember it became a passing league. You

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 3: need to pass to win, blah blah blah. And it's

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: like you those two things jumped out because I'm watching,

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: and it's just it was a lot of running. The

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: two three hundred yard guys were stafford in overtime.

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: And then was it Tua? I think it was Tua.

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 3: And then of course you had Baker Mayfield had a

63
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 3: really good game. But a lot of the young quarterbacks

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: did not look good. Lamar did not look particularly good.

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: Now he's behind a new offensive line, but so passing

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: numbers down running numbers up. Let's just let's file that away.

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: It might maybe it's something, maybe nothing, But I think

68
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: when Week two rolls around, I think we got to

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: look and say, is this a trend emerging? Because honestly, guys,

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: these wide receiver stuff is just out of control, it

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: really is. And speaking wide receivers, I'll just quickly before

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: I get to my real take, I do need to

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: mention this Tyreek kill arrest, which listen, it happened on

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: game day of week one, and I'm sorry, I'm not

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: going to talk about it an arrest. He ended up

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: playing and scored a touchdown, had a good game. I

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: wasn't gonna talk about it on Monday's pod, and then

78
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: yesterday was you know, Jets heavy and looking ahead.

79
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: So I've watched the video. I showed it to my kids.

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what prompted the stop. According to one

81
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: of the police reports, the police officer, not with the

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: radar gun but using an eye estimation whatever that is,

83
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: had clocked Tyreek Hill around sixty miles an hour. But

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: I'm sure you guys have seen the video. Now, the

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: officer rolls up to the window, knocks on Tyreek's window.

86
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: He didn't appreciate that with his Bugatti, Lambeau, McLaren.

87
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: Whatever it is.

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: And Tyreek instantly is, why are you knock it on

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: my window so hard? And I'm at that point I

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: paused the video out. I'm like, oh, okay, and I

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 3: said to my kids, like, when you're able to drive

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: and a police officer comes up to your window, please

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: don't ever open with why are you knocking on my

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: window so hard? Like I understand, Tyreek Hill was not happy.

95
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill is a rich and famous guy and he

96
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: wasn't throwed the way.

97
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: The police officer approached him.

98
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: I you can get I get that, but the tone

99
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: and manner in which he delivered that was just like, oh,

100
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: that's getting off on the wrong foot. So he has

101
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: a quick verbal thing with the police officer and then

102
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: starts to put his window up. The police officer has

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: to the windows are so blacked out. The police officer

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: has to go to like in front the car so

105
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: he can see if anybody's with Tyreek Hill in the car. Listen,

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: you're a police officer, you're rolling up to a high

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: end car. You don't want to get, you know, shot

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: or whatever. I can't imagine that the police officer was

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: really in danger in the middle of the day, right

110
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: near a football stadium.

111
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: But whatever.

112
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: And so as he goes to the front to look,

113
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: the police officers comes right back and Tyreek puts the

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: window up, and that really set the police officer off.

115
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: And then his compadre who was there, a guy who,

116
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: based on this video, does not have the demeanor to

117
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: be a police officer. And I got a lot of

118
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: when I tweeted this out, a lot of people say,

119
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 3: what is the demeanor? You've never been a cop. And again,

120
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have police officers respond. I get it. It's

121
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: kind of one of those you like, you know it

122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: when you see it, And I didn't think this this

123
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: police officer who was tattoos on his neck, his hands

124
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: and that's fine whatever. He essentially is like ruled out

125
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: the dad Wood drag you out of the car. And

126
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: then the guy just opens the door and drags Tyreek

127
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: Hill out like that's that's not okay. You can't just

128
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: go from zero to sixty because he put the window down,

129
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: you know, And then it just de escalates from there

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: and Tyreek Hill is like he's basically trying to talk

131
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: to these guys like any guy on the street. And

132
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: given the history of police officers and civilians, especially African Americans,

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: like not the greatest call by tyreek Hill to be

134
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: like twin what you brought, you're doing, You'll take me

135
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: to the station, like it was clearly it escalated. I'm

136
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: not blaming tyreek Hill, obviously the police officer. It is

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: probably gonna be out of a job. You just you

138
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: can't drag someone out of a car like it's just

139
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: for what. But at the same time, tyreek Hill, you

140
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: can't roll up the window, you know, and it just

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: got ugly from there. There's no winners here none, you know,

142
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: tyreek Hill, I'm sure could sue the police department and

143
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: win money. You know. The fact that the the cameras

144
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: that the police officers had on them, the body cams

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: shows everything. Like Tarreikk you can go to court and

146
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: get some money if he wants.

147
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: Like that's for sure.

148
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: You can't drag someone out of a car, you just

149
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: can't for what, and for not having a seatbelt on

150
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: like it was just it was a mess, and I

151
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: hope it gets sorted out. Not what the NFL needed

152
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: on the on the opening weekend.

153
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,000

00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: Right now, that we've got those out of the way,

159
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: I was letting this marinate, so I have five hot

160
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: takes after week one that could certainly come true sooner

161
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: than later. Now, these are gonna sound hot, and you're like,

162
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: Jay Mack, you're crazy.

163
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: Just hear me out.

164
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna start with this one. Daniel Jones isn't

165
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: the starter with the New York Giants by the time

166
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: Halloween rolls around. Now, I know some people will say, well,

167
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: that's not that hot of a take.

168
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

169
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: You know, the Giants all summer kind of played with

170
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: the idea of drafting a quarterback. They bring in Drew

171
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Locke as if he's gonna contend Daniel Jones. Just don't

172
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: do all this money. Brian Dabole kind of sort of

173
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: fighting for his job. I'm sure the owner and the

174
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: GM are going to start at war words anonymously through

175
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: the media about who drafted Daniel Jones, because nobody wants

176
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: that stench on their resume and Daniel and you could

177
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: see Dabell getting frustrated already. We're talking post week one,

178
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: guys at the podium about questions about benching Daniel Jones,

179
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 3: Who's going to be the starter? Like it's getting out,

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: this is week one. Daniel Jones might be under the

181
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: most pressure in Washington this weekend, this game. I know

182
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: it's like two bad teams, but I believe that Daniel

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: Jones really really needs to deliver here. If you can't

184
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: beat Washing Washington, the team with maybe the worst secondary

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: in the league, Baker Mayfield just shredded them. And Daniel

186
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: Jones has a good history against Washington. Doesn't have a

187
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: good history against like the Eagles or Cowboys, but he's

188
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: fared well against Washington. Now, however, this is dan Quinn

189
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: we're talking about. Dan Quinn of course, been with the

190
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: Cowboys forever. Dan Quinn now coaching Washington, knows the tendencies

191
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: of Jones. Now he had doesn't have quite the same personnel,

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: especially on the back end. But I'm of the belief that,

193
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: you know, Daniel Jones is certainly, without question not going

194
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: to be the starter of the New York Giants by Halloween. Now,

195
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: I was gonna make this more about Dabell, but I

196
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: decided to go Jones. I think Dable is going to

197
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: be on the hot seat. I think he's a good coach.

198
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 3: I personally would not fire him. But if this spirals

199
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: and they are a three or four win team, I

200
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: think Dable's probably gone. You go playoffs and then regress,

201
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: and then regress again. I don't know that it's not

202
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: a good spot for Daniel Jones. Moving on number two,

203
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Justin Fields will not concede the starting quarterback job to

204
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. If Fields is able to win in Denver,

205
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: let's be upfront. Justin Fields was not great in the

206
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: opener against Atlanta. I think everybody would agree. Justin Fields

207
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: was afraid to throw in the middle of the field.

208
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: And I put the his passing chart, which is on

209
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: you know, next gen stats. I put it on my

210
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Instagram stories. Essentially, Justin Fields refused to throw the ball

211
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: in the center of the field. He just did not

212
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 3: want attempt. Everything was to the outside. Why because the

213
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: defense has crowded the middle and it gets maybe Fields

214
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: doesn't see somebody easy interceptions.

215
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: Fields was not great.

216
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: He made just enough plays to get Pittsburgh in field

217
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: goal range, not screw it up, you know, no turnovers.

218
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: And if Fields can do that again in Denver, okay,

219
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: and they happened to win, I'm sorry, Mike Tomlin is

220
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: not gonna bench him if if Fields goes into Denver

221
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: and wins. Now, I know, quarterback wins is not a

222
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: stat and people are gonna, oh, Jay, come on, what

223
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: if you win sixteen thirteen with three interceptions?

224
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: Okay? Does he have the game winning drive? Does he deliver?

225
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

226
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean there's a world where Fields doesn't relinquish this

227
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: job to Russell Wilson. You're not gonna go and say, hey, Justin,

228
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: thanks for thanks for winning two games, and assuming he

229
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 3: does a bang up job, like, we're gonna turn to Russ. Now,

230
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: I think that is a really dangerous proposition. Plus Week

231
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 3: three is another winnable game against the Chargers. Now, Russ

232
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: has a history against the Chargers playing in Denver. Right

233
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: after that, it's the Colts, then the Cowboys, then the Raiders. Like,

234
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: this is not a murderer's row for Justin Fields. And

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: Tomlin said yesterday we're preparing is if Fields will be

236
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: our starting quarterback this week in Denver. And let's be real,

237
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 3: you know Smith after a rocky start, he wasn't terrible

238
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 3: against Denver. Why can't Justin Fields be serviceable and get

239
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: the dub? It's really it's not a great time.

240
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: To be Russell Wilson. That's faux show.

241
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: Next one is a little harsh, and I know it's

242
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: three straight quarterback topics. Oh damn, they're all five quarterback topics.

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 3: I did not note that. So number three hot takes

244
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: that I think could come true. Bryce Young if he

245
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: has another rotten game and this keeps up, he's going

246
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: to be out of the NFL as fast as Josh Rosen.

247
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: And guys, the Josh Rosen stuff is crazy until you

248
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: look into it. So backstory, Josh Rosen was a superstar

249
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: tennis player as a kid, like one of the top

250
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: ten in the country in the junior rankings and then

251
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: decides he's going to switch the football and throws like

252
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: ninety touchdowns in high school. He was like a legend

253
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: All American four point three GPA, five star recruit. Josh

254
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: Rosen was a huge deal out here in California. Okay,

255
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: goes to UCLA starts I think about thirty games fifty

256
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 3: nine touchdowns.

257
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: He was good tenth overall pick by Arizona. It didn't

258
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: work at all.

259
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 3: And if you look, if you punch in Josh Rosen

260
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: stats and just look at the numbers, guys, this is

261
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: he was the tenth overall pick. He started three games

262
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: as a rookie. Okay, I'm sorry, sorry. He started thirteen

263
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: games as a rookie at the age of twenty one,

264
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: went three and ten fifty five percent completions, and they

265
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: had the worst record in the league. It was very

266
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: clear Josh Rosen was unplayable. They fired the coach and listen,

267
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: I know a lot goes into being a starting quarterback

268
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 3: in this league. You need good offensive line play, you

269
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: need good coaching, you need skill position guys.

270
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: Rosen had none of that.

271
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: But they picked first and Kyler Murray is the number

272
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: one pick, and goodbye Josh Rosen. So he lands in

273
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 3: Miami over three five interceptions, fifty three percent completions, then

274
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: he's not in the league.

275
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: Yes, not in the league.

276
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: In year three and in twenty twenty one, came back

277
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: with Atlanta and he barely appeared. Eleven pass attempts, he

278
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 3: was two of eleven with two interceptions. Josh Rosen's NFL

279
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: career ended after sixteen starts, no injuries, just extremely poor

280
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: quarterback play. And I'm starting to get already about Bryce Young. Guys,

281
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: it is the numbers are hideous, and I this is

282
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,479
Speaker 3: the toughest thing about the NFL, and that's projecting quarterbacks.

283
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think back.

284
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: I don't remember anybody piping up and saying Bryce Young

285
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 3: is going to be a total bust. He doesn't have

286
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: the size. It's five to ten two hundred, so it's

287
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: like my size, but with like twenty pounds, and he's

288
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: trying to run around and elude big defensive ends and linebackers.

289
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: So last year he was abysmal fifty nine percent completions.

290
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: They went too and fourteen. I mean, he's sacked all

291
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: the time. And then you're like, Okay, he's got an

292
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: offensive coach in Canalis, We're gonna bounce back. And then

293
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: he just vomits all over himself against the Saints. His

294
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: numbers thirteen to thirty for one hundred and sixty one yards,

295
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: forty three percent completions. That's what's an all entire offseason

296
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: to prepare two interceptions, and it's like, oh my gosh, folks,

297
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding Carolina again. It's one game, you, Jason.

298
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: This is too out of a take. Give the kid

299
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 3: a chance. I want to. I was optimistic and it

300
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: comes down does that. So I'm way way way down

301
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: on Bryce Young. And it's just crazy that CJ. Stroud

302
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: ended up going second and Bryce Young he's going to

303
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: be at this league within you know, Josh Rosen was

304
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: technically twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, out of the league in

305
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: twenty back in twenty one for a hot minute and

306
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: that was it.

307
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: That's a rap. So I mean, is Bryce Young going

308
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: to be around longer than that? He's smaller.

309
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: I don't see an appetite for a five to ten

310
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: backup quarterback who you toub went number one overall. Like,

311
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, this is it's really crazy and

312
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: you want everybody to get a chance, but it just

313
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be happening for him.

Speaker 3: Number four Falcons fans cover your ears ear Muffett. Michael

319
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: Pennox will replace Kirk Cousins if the Falcons start zero

320
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: to three And before you say no, shot, Falcons are

321
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: six and a half point dogs this week in Philly

322
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: Monday Night Football and then uh oh, the Chiefs come

323
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: to Atlanta, Spagnolo gloves to blitz Philly murderous defensive line, folks.

324
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: Is not looking good for Kirk Cousins. Okay, I'm gonna

325
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: read some numbers here from ESPN Stats and Info. The

326
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: Falcons were in pistol or shotgun for ninety six percent

327
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: of their snaps. Ninety six percent out of twenty two

328
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: snaps out of shotgun, the Falcons had zero design runs.

329
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: So hey, we're in shotgun and we're running.

330
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: In the twenty six snaps out of pistol, the Falcons

331
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: ran the ball eighty one percent of the time. Hey,

332
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: if we're shotgun, we're passing. If we're in pistol, but

333
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: we're running like you don't think TJ. Watt and the

334
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: Steelers notice that pretty damn quickly. Falcons had an early

335
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: touchdown drive and then guess what, the Steelers noticed the

336
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 3: tendencias and we're like, oh, Kirk Cousins is a sitting duck.

337
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: He's immobile. Yeah, let's go after him.

338
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: And TJ.

339
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: Watt was unleashed, and Kirk Cousins, I don't see how

340
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: in two weeks he's all of a sudden gonna get

341
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: mobile and healthy. I just don't I mean, is there

342
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: a world where that happens. I don't see it all

343
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden in two weeks he's gonna be great.

344
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: And here you got Michael Pennix waiting in the wings,

345
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: waiting for the rookie you unleashed Pennix. I mean, I

346
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 3: would hope that they're ready with Pennix to come out,

347
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,239
Speaker 3: because he is chucking and ducking. He's not gonna do this.

348
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, tap tap, pass, chuck it in the ground.

349
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: I don't see him doing any of that. The Atlanta

350
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 3: Falcons with Michael Pennix are infinitely more appealing than they

351
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: are with Kirk Cousins at quarterback. And my final hot

352
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: take after Week one is the Packers will miss the

353
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: playoffs if Jordan Love is out for four to five weeks,

354
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: they're calling it three to six.

355
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: Lafleur is playing this dangerous game with the media. Well,

356
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: if he's ruled out. We're going to Malik.

357
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 3: Willis, like, what what come on? He's gonna be out

358
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: three to six weeks now, he's a young quarterback. Maybe

359
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 3: he bounces back quickly. Here's the crazy part. The schedule

360
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: is extremely favorable. They host the Colts, they visit Tennessee,

361
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: they host the Vikings.

362
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 2: None of those three are.

363
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: Expected to make the playoffs. They go to the La Rams,

364
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: and then they're home against Arizona. Four of those five

365
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: teams were not projected to be playoff teams. The Rams,

366
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: depending on who you read or listen to, they were

367
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: supposed to be in the mix.

368
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: They should win those games.

369
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: But I'm here to tell you Malik Willis, he's not

370
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: that guy. He's not going to be able to lift

371
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: his team to victory. They don't have an Aaron Jones

372
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: to lean on. I will admit I did like kinda

373
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: sorta what I saw from the Packers' backup linebacker, the

374
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: kid Emmanuel Wilson.

375
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: He had some pop, I thought, in some juice.

376
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: I'm interested by him, in him, I grabbed it. I

377
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: told I grabbed him fantasy told my brother to grab

378
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: him as well, because you know, if you're in some

379
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: twelve fourteen team leagues, there's like nobody available. I thought

380
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 3: Wilson looked good. I didn't think Josh Jacobs was particularly sharp,

381
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: but again, Josh Jacobs obviously is going to get the

382
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: ball of the carries. He had sixteen for eighty four.

383
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 3: Wilson had four for forty six, And like, what good

384
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: are Jaden Reed Dobbs and he's got in Watson and Wicks?

385
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: What good are they if you don't have a quarterback

386
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: who can get on the ball.

387
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: So you know, this is a Packers situation that could

388
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: unfold and spiral kind of quickly. Now, they did start

389
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 3: slow last year before Jordan Love turned it on. They

390
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: got super hot and then got to the playoffs and

391
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: we were able to win. But the schedule gets a little

392
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: tougher after that bye week at Chicago.

393
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: Okay, the Bears are good.

394
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: Were assuming the Bears will be better. They did not

395
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 3: look great offensively Week one. The defense was soft versus

396
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 3: San Francisco, versus Miami at Detroit at Seattle. That's a

397
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: five game stretch right there, coming out of the by

398
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: where there's gonna be pressure and three straight primetime games

399
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: for your boy, Jordan Love he's gonna be healthy at

400
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: that point, and if they don't, if he's gonna end

401
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: up missing four or five games, I don't think can

402
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: they tread water with Malik Willis. Guys, go ahead, punch

403
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: into YouTube. Malik Willis Tennessee Titans. He literally can't do anything.

404
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: There was a game where Vrabel was so terrified of

405
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: him throwing the ball against the Chiefs that they just

406
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 3: basically ran the ball every play. With Derrick Henry, you can't.

407
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you could do that with this guy.

408
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: Emmanuel Wilson and Josh Jacobs. Teams are gonna sell out

409
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: and say eight in the box, we double dog? Dare

410
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: you Malik Willis to go throw it over the top? Now,

411
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: Jayden Reid has the wheels, Watson has the wheels. But

412
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 3: what are we talking about here? Just basically just fly patterns?

413
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: Is that the go move? I This Packers seems gonna

414
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: be in some trouble. I'm not ready to fire on

415
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: the Colts this week. I actually probably would take the

416
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: Packers if it's three and a half. But man, Packers

417
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: are gonna be behind the eight ball without Jordan Love

418
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: and that kind of stinks for everybody. So those are

419
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: the five hot takes after Week one. Daniel Jones is

420
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: not the starter for the Giants by Halloween. Justin Fields

421
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 3: does not concede the starting job to Russell Wilson. If

422
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: Fields beats the Broncos, Bryce Young is out, gonna be

423
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 3: out of this league as fast as Josh Rosen was.

424
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix will replace Kirk Cousins if the Falcons go

425
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: zero to three, and that's very much in play, and

426
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: then the Green Bay Packers will miss the playoffs if

427
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: Jordan Love is out for four or five weeks. All right,

428
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: that's it for a Wednesday. We've got a gambling guy

429
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: dropping by Maniana.

430
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: Enjoy it. Talk to you tomorrow
