1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What 2 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: is up Straight Firefam? It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire 3 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: for Monday, November sixth. I should start the podcast with 4 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: a happy college basketball season. You guys, do I love 5 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: college hoops? The season begins tonight and let's go to football. Yeah. 6 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm a huge hoops fan. Obviously played some moves over 7 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: the weekend, but the NFL on Sunday was as chaotic 8 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: and dramatic thrilling as it's been a while. Just so 9 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: many good games and I don't know a lot to 10 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: choose from. We also we Jets Chargers Tonight should be 11 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: a good game to cap an exciting Week nine. But 12 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I gotta say, Dallas Cowboys, they nearly 13 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: did it. They almost did the unthinkable and took down 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles. But then they turned into the Dallas Cowboys 15 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: of old and the Philadelphia Eagles survive, And they did survive. 16 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: Twenty eight twenty three, a game I thought, and a 17 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: lot of other people did too, that Dak was gonna 18 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: finally get over the hurdle. We know he has not 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: been able to win the big game the last couple 20 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 1: of seasons, especially in the postseason. Earlier this year, the big, 21 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: massive landmark game against San fran They want revenge for 22 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: the last two playoff losses and they got smacked back 23 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: to the boondocks forty two to ten against San Francisco. 24 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: And listen, this was not that this Eagles team is 25 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: not as dominant as it was last year, and Dallas 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: matches up pretty well with them, folks. The Dallas Cowboys 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: were inches, and I do mean inches away from taking 28 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: down the Eagles. Case in point fourth quarter, the Dallas 29 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys a fourth and goal and the the number two 30 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: tight end shoes is a shoemaker shooting Hower, whatever his 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: name is, catches the pass. It looks to be a touchdown, 32 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: but upon further review, his knees were down as he 33 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: catches it and the ball is not in the end zone, 34 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: so it's down to the one inch line. Dallas gets 35 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: zero points inside the five yard line. Also in the 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Dallas driving into into Philadelphia territory. They're at 37 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: the Philly twenty nine yard line. They go for it 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: and they come up short. And then at the end 39 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: of the game, Dallas driving again inside the Philly thirty 40 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: and ceedee lamb is tackled around the five yard line 41 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: on ballgame and that's all she wrote. The Cowboys inches 42 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: literally inches short, the tight end getting tackled at the 43 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: one inch line, and then I forgot to add. Dak 44 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: Prescott had a two point conversion after a touchdown in 45 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and he looked to dive in. He 46 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: looked like he got it. I was like, on my 47 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: my think somebody was at my door and the dog 48 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: was barking. So I'm like getting ready to go to 49 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: the door, but I don't want to pause the TV. 50 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: I want to just like let it play out. And 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: DA's going around the Enerny dives in. I'm like, oh, wow, 52 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: he got it. We got a game, three point game, 53 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: Dallas could tie up with the field goal. I get 54 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: back from the door. I think it was a pizza 55 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: delivery guy. You know, Sunday's got a feet, gotta feet, 56 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: gotta eat, got to eat right with breadsticks, cheese sticks, 57 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: chicken wings, you know, all the unhealthy stuff. Hey, Sunday's 58 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: cheat day. But it's a workday. And I get back 59 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: and I look at the screen and they show the 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: replay and Dak's foot stepped out at about the three 61 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: yard line. The dive was fine, but he stepped out, 62 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: so again inches out of bounds. And then I'll add 63 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: another one. Philadelphia's just trying to run out the clock. 64 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, are you kidding me? Literally runs into AJ Brown, 65 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: fumbles the balls right there. Dallas would have picked up 66 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: in great field position, and Michael Parsons, who was in 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 1: the vicinity, could not get to it like a guy 68 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: starting at guard. I think recovers it just an unbelievably close, 69 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: really really good game. It doesn't seem like a lot 70 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: separates these teams. But I think the overreaction today is 71 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: going to be, you know, the Miami Dolphins cannot win 72 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: these big games, and neither can the Dallas Cowboys. Those 73 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: are the two teams that can't get the job done 74 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: when it matters most in the big spots. And this 75 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: is what Dallas does. And it'll happen in the playoffs. 76 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: And it happened now. It happened against San Francisco. Dallas 77 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: now two and a half games back of the Eagles, 78 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: the eight and one Eagles. I mean, folks, how bad 79 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: did Philly try to give this game away? So even 80 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: when Dallas got the ball back with like what final 81 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: drive they had to go like eighty six yards right, 82 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: and that's I mean, it seemed like a long shot. 83 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 1: The Eagles had fifty six yards in penalties, a dumb 84 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: late hit by Hassan Reddick on Dak and then a 85 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: big PI that gave him thirty five yards of like 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: the first play, I mean, Michael Gallup can't catch a 87 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: cole but sure, yeah, let me let me pass interfere 88 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: him in a very obvious spot. Like the Eagles tried 89 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: really hard to give that game away. They did have 90 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: an injury to Goddard that did not look great. He 91 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: was favoring his arm. Listen, I don't want to crap 92 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: on McCarthy too. I know I saw Kevin Clark put 93 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: out a tweet that, you know, very uncharacteristic of Mike 94 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy to blow a close game Dallas in these in 95 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: these close game situations, games that matter. Like I'm not 96 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: talking about like bad teams and even that Chargers game. 97 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: Chargers are a middling team, Okay, I'm talking about the elites, 98 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: the defending NFC champ Eagles, Like you gotta win that. 99 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: If you're Dallas, you need that. You just wonder mentally 100 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: if these guys are going to be like, you know what, 101 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: that we just can't beat the best teams, I don't know. 102 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I did see the 103 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: stat that nobody has repeated as an NFC East champ 104 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: in nineteen years. The Eagles are strive to do that. 105 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: That being said, it's not over. I'm not declaring the 106 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: division Phillies, folks. They have a bye this week. They 107 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: will need to get healthy and then coming out of 108 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: the bye as tough of a five game stretch as 109 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: there is in the league this year. Case Buffalo, San 110 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: fran Dallas, Seattle. That is Casey arguably number one team 111 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: in the AFC. Buffalo sliding a little, but still ever 112 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: dangerous with that offense. San Francisco elite team. Probably by 113 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: the time this matchup happens in four weeks will be 114 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: at full strength healthy everywhere. Dallas, I mean, we just 115 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: saw them play the Eagles to the final horn, and 116 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: then Seattle, which we'll get to their butt kicking against 117 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens. They did not look great, but they're still 118 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: a good football team. It's like, you know, Gino Smith, 119 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: the big question, so that Eagles schedule gets tough Dallas's 120 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: schedule is fairly easy the next few weeks, so this 121 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: is not over by any stretch of the imagination. But 122 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: I need to see Dallas stop a great team team 123 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: like San Francisco who's gonna run it down your throat, 124 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: and a team like the Eagles who had three touchdown 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: drives yesterday of eleven plus plays, like they will just 126 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: grind you to dust. And how about the the brotherly 127 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: shove on the first drive and then after the Dallas 128 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: tight end was tackled at the one inch line, they 129 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: opened with the brotherly shove and Mike I saw the video. 130 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons like jumped on top to try to get 131 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: a stop, but he essentially was crowdsurfing. He just got 132 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: pushed back like four yards. It was like riding the wave. 133 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: It was kind of funny, but an impressive showing from 134 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles to hold on. And I'll just say I 135 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: was pretty impressed with Dallas. I think, man, it stinks 136 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: about losing digs, but this is a really dangerous Dallas 137 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: team if big, if they can get over the hump 138 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: in the massive game. Another team in a big spot 139 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: is the Buffalo Bills, who were kind of fading, and 140 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: they had Sunday night football against the Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals, 141 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: of course starting to surge. The Bengals I had in 142 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: the contest, and I was getting nervous. I ran hot 143 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: Sunday in the contest on a Sunday when a lot 144 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: of people did poorly in the contest, I gained some ground, 145 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: went four and one. The lone loss was the New 146 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, and Dennis Allen man, listen, folks, I'm gonna 147 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: talk about the Bengals, but I just a quick word, 148 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: and this is the frustrating part about gambling. Had a 149 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: good day. The teaser didn't get home. Things to Carolina 150 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: and Bryce Young will talk about him later. I did 151 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: get lucky with the under on Raiders and Giants at 152 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: landed thirty six. I had thirty seven, like things were good, 153 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: not great good, And then you got the Saints. And 154 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, folks, I look at that Saints 155 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: Bears game, and I'm sure everybody's gonna see things differently. 156 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: But I would have had my second five and oh 157 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: of the season if all Dennis Allen had was a clue. 158 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: I cannot believe the ineptitude and silliness he did with 159 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: the play calling in the fourth quarter when t bag 160 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: aka the Beijent Secret Beagent Man just kept doing really 161 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: insanely stupid things. So the Bears were awesome in the 162 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: first half. I think there was probably a Saints got 163 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: their asses chewed out at halftime and their defense locked down. 164 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Final eight minutes of the game. Okay, Bears interception deep 165 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: in their own end. The Saints take over at the 166 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: Chicago nineteen yard line. All they need is a field 167 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: goal to get to go up by ten to cover 168 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: the eight and a half, and Jennis Allen the Genius 169 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: try to quick snap on fourth and one with Derek 170 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: Carr doing the quarterback sneak. Just stop for a second, 171 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: Derek Carr doing the quarterback sneak. You have the great 172 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, who was having an awesome game, and I 173 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: trust him in so many big spots Taysom Hill put 174 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: bring him in, do the one yard carry. He's gonna 175 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: get it killed. Deny Derek Carr denied zero yard, zero points. 176 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Bears another interception. Yeah, Beijing started to fade fast. Justin 177 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: fields certain, I mean I would expect him to start 178 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: Thursday night, Bear Saints go three and out. Of course, 179 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: Bears three and out, Saints easy drive field goal. All 180 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: you have to do is hit this field goal forty 181 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: seven yard. The kick us up. I can see it hooking. 182 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: I can see it hooking. It didn't miss it, hit 183 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: the upright and bounced out. A doink goes against me. Finally, 184 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: Bears one more chance. Oh. All they gotta do is 185 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: go to the link to the field, tie it up 186 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: and Beijing fumble. Saints takeover to Bears eighteen. I'm looking 187 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: at the clock. I'm like two h five left. Okay, um, 188 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: don't kick the field goal right. They cannot just take 189 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: the knee the rest of the game. This is when 190 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen gets aggressive. Well, we don't want to kick 191 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: too many things can go wrong. Let's just get the 192 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: first down. And they get the first down. No points. 193 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: So they had, just to remind you, three trips into 194 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Chicago territory in the final eight minutes and total zero points. 195 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: All I needed was a field goal for a five 196 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: and zero. Anyways, you don't care about that. I just 197 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: needed to get off my chest because those are the 198 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: ones that hurt. Man who cares that I hit the 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: Browns the layup and then I switched at the last minute. 200 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: You know, you go Ravens. Who cares about that I missed? 201 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: And that frustrates me. But I do want to quickly 202 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: say Cincinnati Bengals, as everybody expected, look to be peaking. 203 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: I'll just say this though. This is the second time 204 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: in three weeks that the Cincinnati Bengals have jumped out 205 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: to an early lead, looked awesome in the first half, 206 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: and then offensively done nothing in the second half and 207 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: they had to hold on to victory. The last time 208 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: was against the Seattle Seahawks, and I liked the Seahawks 209 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: in that one, and they had multiple chances, multiple and 210 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: Gino spent vomited all over himself. Buffalo kept getting chance 211 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: after chance against the Bengals, and I mean, I'm a 212 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: little surprised by it. But Josh Allen had an interception, 213 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid had a red zone fumble. It was just 214 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: one of those wacky, weird The Bengals don't look unbelievable. 215 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: They just they're getting it done. The Bills in the 216 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: fourth of the Kincaid fumble with brutal I had him 217 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: in fantasy. It was just a tough one, you know. 218 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: He went airborne and it was just a great punch 219 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: out inside the red zone. Bengals hang on, they come 220 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: down and get the field goal and they win and cover. 221 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: Since I did not, they look great in the first 222 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: half Buffalo. I saw this stat. Buffalo had the ball 223 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: for eight minutes and fifty four seconds in the first half, 224 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: just one hundred and twenty two yards. Because their defense 225 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: can can't stops. Joe Mixon had a solid game in 226 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: the first half, did really nothing in the second half. 227 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: It came out of opening drive. It was good Burrow 228 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty eight yards passing two touchdowns. It 229 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: was t Higgins night, which did not help my Jamar 230 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: Chase fantasy numbers. But I'm looking at the Bengals receivers. 231 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: They had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight 232 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: guys caught passes, seven caught three or more like he's 233 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: spreading it around, whether it's Tanner, Hudson, Drew sample cutter touchdown, 234 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: IRV Smith junior cutter touchdown. They got options. This is 235 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: an interesting team. I don't know what to make of 236 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, who are now five and four. They 237 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: have lost to the Jets, they have lost to the Patriots. 238 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: They have lost to Jacksonville and they lost to Cincinnati. 239 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: Three of those four teams will be in the playoffs. 240 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: Their wins this is Buffalo good or not, folks. Their 241 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: wins are against Vegas in Week two, Washington, Week three, Miami. 242 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: It's a good win, the Giants and Tampa Bay. Next 243 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: up Denver should be a win, probably will smash them, 244 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: and then it's Jets, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers. There is 245 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: a world where the Buffalo Bills missed the playoffs. And 246 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: I know people don't want to hear that, but you 247 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: look at that schedule, you look at how Buffalo's offense 248 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: has really struggled since that Miami game. Again early in 249 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: the season, they're cooking with gas. Thirty eight on the Raiders, 250 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: thirty seven on Washington. There were a couple defensive touchdowns 251 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: in there. Forty eight against Miami since that London trip, 252 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: twenty against Jacks, fourteen against the Giants, twenty five against 253 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots, twenty four against the Bucks, and eighteen against 254 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: the Bengals. They're just not the offensive machine they were 255 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: two months ago. Is that on Josh Allen? I don't know, 256 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: but bottom line, the Buffalo Bills right now do not 257 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: look great. The Bengals do look very good. I'm not 258 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: going to give them the great label yet. We could 259 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: talk more about the overall league, but I want to 260 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: go through some more games.

Although everybody in their mom 278 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: photos is gonna be high scoring, Miami was shut out. 279 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? For the first five minutes. 280 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: They were the highest scoring offense in the first half 281 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL and they were blanked. Okay, that's the 282 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: kind of clinic Kansas City put on Miami in the 283 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: first half. Amazing defensive calling from Spagnolo. He mixed it 284 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: up on Tua, and Tua really didn't know where things 285 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: were coming from. Second half, they turn it around. Listen, 286 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: here's my thing about the Chiefs. They have not really 287 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: hit their stride yet. You know, they'll look dominant early 288 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: that opening drive boom, come out seven nothing, Then they 289 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: play with their food a little bit. They get the 290 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: defensive touchdown, which was a tremendous play by mcduffy to 291 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: strip it, then the lateral. You know they're up twenty 292 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: one nothing at halftime. It's so weird. I texted a buddy. 293 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: When my team that I bet on is ahead, I 294 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: always feel like, damn it, the opponent's gonna come back. 295 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: But when my team that I bet on as a dog, 296 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: I feel like, man, they're never gonna come back. They're 297 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: never gonna. It's just a weird vibe that I get, 298 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: and I just knew Kansas City they did. It's weird 299 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: to say this. They lack a knockout punch, right. They 300 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: can't put teams to sleep with it. They can't choke 301 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: anybody out. I'm not talking about like the Chicago Bears 302 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: when they smothered them. Like, yes, they were able to 303 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: pull away a little bit from the Chargers. I don't 304 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: know the Chargers. Are they even a playoff team? I 305 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: don't know. We'll find out how good they are tonight 306 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: against the Jets. But like Kansas City's defense can really 307 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: slow teams down, but their offense is just it's just 308 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: not there. I mean, Miami kind of removed Travis Kelce 309 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: from the game three catches fourteen yards, and Mahomes just said, okay, 310 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I'll find seven different receivers or whatever it is. I mean, 311 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: they had five different guys catch passes on the opening 312 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: drive and they scored a touchdown. Yet they ended with 313 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: just two hundred and sixty seven yards of offense four 314 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: point eight yards of play. A Mahomes fumble let Miami 315 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: back in the game. You had the really really dumb 316 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: penalty against Chris Jones unbelievably stupid. It was just a 317 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: weird game. But my overall takeaways number one, Yes, the 318 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs are probably the best team in the league. But 319 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: unlike years past, they don't scare me with their offense. 320 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: Does that make any sense? Like usually it's like, oh, 321 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Andy Reid, they're just gonna dial up stuff 322 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: like I don't know, I don't like early on, You're like, Okay, 323 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: the receivers are young, they'll get it. They haven't played 324 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: a lot, the kid Rice and sky Moore, and they'll 325 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: figure it out. And here we are halfway through the 326 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: season and they really haven't figured it out. They're just 327 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: not dominant offensively. Even Pacheco kind of was slowed down. 328 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: And you know, you bet on Mahomes, you're usually good, 329 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: especially in a spot where he's under a field goal favorite. Now, 330 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: a quick word on the Miami Dolphins, who I know 331 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: everybody really really hates and things. Oh they're total frauds. 332 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: All people are sending me all game. Oh, these guys 333 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: are real contenders. Come on, Miami can't do anything. Miami. 334 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: Excuse me. Miami hasn't beating anybody with a winning record. 335 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: These are all facts. Okay, Miami has faced three teams 336 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: that came in with a winning record. They got killed 337 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: by Buffalo back when Buffalo was at full strength and 338 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: really really good. And then they went and faced the 339 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: Eagles and they pretty much They didn't get totally blown 340 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: out by the Eagles, but they got bullied and couldn't 341 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: handle it. Both those I should add, were on the road. 342 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: This was a neutral site game, and wouldn't you know it, 343 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, Miami is live here at the end of 344 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: the game to have a chance to tie it up 345 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: or who knows, McDaniel's so crazy, maybe win the damn thing. 346 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: And then of course the snap from their starting center, 347 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: it wasn't Eichenberg, it was it was Connor Williams who 348 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: had a snap just a rye of Tua and he 349 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: could not wrangle the ball. He has to fall on it. Now. 350 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: A couple of plays before that, it looks like I 351 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: don't know if it was a miscommunication with Waddle or what, 352 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: but Waddle had his guy beat, but the pass was 353 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: as if it was like super short or maybe to 354 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: a loss. I couldn't really tell. Tua had one completion 355 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: over fifteen yards in the game and it was the touchdown. 356 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: Everything else kind of in the middle and short. A 357 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: lot of stuff at or behind the line of scrimmage. 358 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill had a rough drop, he had the fumble. 359 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: Not a great game from him. But overall, you know, 360 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: if they'll still think Miami is one of the better 361 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: teams in the league, if they're facing you know, two 362 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: thirds of the league, they should wipe the floor with them. 363 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: It's just when they have to go to that upper 364 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: crust game and that opponent with that's a top tier 365 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: team that is tough on defense, as the Bills were 366 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: when they played, as the Eagles were when they played, 367 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: and as the Chiefs were Sunday, like, yeah, it's gonna 368 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: be a massive chore. So now Miami has the bye 369 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: week after Germany, they face would you know it, Las 370 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: Vegas not great? New York Jets will see it'll be 371 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: in New York, could be bad weather, Washington, Tennessee Jets. Folks, 372 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: you could hate on this team all you want and 373 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: think they're frauds. One, two, three, four or five. Their 374 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: next five games, they're gonna be favorite in all of them. Yes, 375 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: they will be favored against my Jets on the road. 376 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: And let's just give them four wins. I mean, who's 377 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: beating him. I don't know if Tannehill's back, Will Levesing 378 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: beating him, Sam Howell, who had a hell of a game. 379 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll touch on it, but I'm 380 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: not worried about Washington and Vegas. Come on, come on now. 381 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: So Miami's gonna be ten and four, probably heading into 382 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: their home stretch at the end, which is brutal Dallas, Baltimore, Buffalo, 383 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: and they could end up ten and seven. We'll see 384 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot of football left to be played. But overall, 385 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs did not look overwhelming, and Miami still has yet 386 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: to prove they can, you know, fight in the top 387 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: tier among best teams in the league. Now here's a 388 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: team that does have a knockout punch, the Baltimore Ravens. Folks. 389 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: You'll remember early in the week lot this past week, 390 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: I said, you gotta go Seattle. This is who's buying 391 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore at the top of the market. And I was 392 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: against Seattle. I wasn't feeling Seattle. And then by the 393 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: end of the week, I'm like, wait a minute, wait 394 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute, Gino, I'm really back in 395 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: Geno Smith on the road, and I had some interesting 396 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: numbers from the last time Seattle went east to play Cincinnati, 397 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: and a lot of numbers lined up and they were 398 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: right there. And guess what, Gino Smith failed them. He 399 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: was a colossal disaster when it mattered, and they blew 400 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: the cover loss I think by I think they were 401 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: three point dogs, and they lost like seventeen thirteen or 402 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: so whatever the number was. They didn't cover by one. 403 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: And so ultimately it was a late change and I 404 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: went Ravens in the contest. And now the Ravens have 405 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: faced in the last three weeks two NFC Division leaders. 406 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: Detroit smashed them thirty eight six, and now Seattle, which 407 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: was leading in the NFC West. I bet you didn't 408 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: know that. Yes, they were ahead of San fran and 409 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: they smashed them thirty seven to three. Okay, this Baltimore 410 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: team is that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. 411 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: You know, we know Dallas when they punched down in Wait, 412 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna beat up on some people. We 413 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: get that. I want to see Dallas and Miami do 414 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: what Baltimore did to a good team. That is how 415 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: you get sold. Like you watch Baltimore four sacks, forced 416 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: two turnovers. They had five hundred and fifteen yards of offense. 417 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: They held Seattle, which has a slew of good receivers, 418 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: a good running back, they held him to one hundred 419 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: and fifty one yards. Seattle had six first downs in 420 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 1: the game. Like that's a drive for some teams, Like 421 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: this was. It was one of those games where you 422 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: walk away and again, I like Seattle a lot. You 423 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: walk away from this like, holy cal what is Genosmith's future? 424 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: He's what's holding the back? And again, what is the 425 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: quote water finds its level? Geno Smith was way above 426 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: the rim last year. He was outstanding, the greatest season 427 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: of his career, And all anybody wanted to know in 428 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: the offseason was that an outlier or is that the 429 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: new Geno Smith? Well, you know you got ample history 430 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: on your side. That a season a one off for 431 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: a guy who was a non factor for what the 432 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: first seven years of his career, like he was anywhere 433 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: he was, he didn't do anything, and all of a sudden, 434 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: he has one awesome year. You're telling me that he's 435 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: going to continue that And the answer is very very 436 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: clearly no. Gino Smith has six interceptions in his last 437 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: four games, and at this point you wonder if you 438 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: can trust him in a big spot against a good team. 439 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: Detroit is solid, they're uppercross team, but you know Genio 440 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: delivered there. We're talking against Dallas San fran Eagles. Do 441 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: you trust Gino Smith to get the win? So I 442 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: don't and they got destroyed thirty seven to three. Baltimore 443 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: really looking like a bit of a juggernaut. Now here's 444 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: where it gets interesting for the Ravens. They have had 445 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: some impressive wins over NFC teams. It should be noted 446 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: Lamar Smith. Hold on, sorry, not Lamar Smith, Lamar Jackson. 447 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: Let me get the exact number because I wrote it 448 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: down here. Lamar Jackson is now eighteen and one in 449 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: his career against the NFC. Essentially, you know how this works. 450 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: Teams that don't see him multiple times a year are 451 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: kind of in shock about what he can bring to 452 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: the table. Here's the weird thing. This wasn't a Lamar game. 453 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: I started him in Fantasy. He had like eleven points. 454 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: He didn't really do anything. Lamar was not outstanding. This 455 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: was the run game. And that's what it gets real 456 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: scary with Seattle folks, you're telling me someone named Keaton 457 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: Mitchell can carry nine times for one hundred and thirty 458 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: eight yards. I mean he has sixty yard carry, forty 459 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: yard carry. They rush for almost three hundred yards against 460 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: a darn good Seattle team. The Seattle defense is good. 461 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: So Lamar Jackson one hundred eighty seven yards passing ten 462 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: carries sixty yards shrug. He did have another fumble. I 463 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: think he has nine fumbles on the season. He had 464 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: actually two fumbles, lost one and the other one was fine. 465 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: But it's scary you can win thirty seven to three 466 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: when your quarterback who was an MVP candidate coming into 467 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: the game does nothing like twenty one of twenty six 468 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: is not nothing but one hundred eighty seven yards, and 469 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: you're smashing a team like That's a little bit scary. 470 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: But again, this is what's interesting about Baltimore. They step 471 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: out of conference and they whack a couple good teams. 472 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: They now host Cleveland in the rematch, and they won't 473 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: face dtr this time. It'll be Deshaun Watson. They face 474 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: Cleveland next week. That will be a great game, should be. 475 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: Then they face Cincinnati, then they face the Chargers. So 476 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: three a real three game stretch where it's like, is 477 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: Baltimore like super Bowl worthy? I think they look at 478 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: something still feels off, like I want to see what 479 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: they do against a really good defense. And I know 480 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: you'll say, Jay, come on, they already already destroyed Cleveland 481 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: twenty eighty three. Come on, that was dtr that was 482 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: earlier in the season. Let's just see how this game 483 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: against Cleveland goes. Cleveland's defense, by the way, continues to 484 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: play at an obscene level. I know it was Clayton 485 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: Looney tune that they shut down, but let's be realistic. 486 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: It will not be as easy this time around for Baltimore. 487 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: Then Baltimore has Cincinnati. Can we call them surging Cincinnati 488 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: in a rematch? Baltimore handling on the first one, And folks, 489 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought about this, but you know, of 490 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: all the teams in the AFC, we got Baltimore, Miami, 491 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: KC Cincinnati. Like it's Baltimore getting the number one seed. 492 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see there right now, just to 493 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: they look like a machine. And I gotta give a 494 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: shout out to their defensive coordinator McDonald. Boy, this guy's 495 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: he has been lights out for the Ravens. I also listen, 496 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: Rob G doesn't like when I bounced around the league 497 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: too much. I just feel like I need to a 498 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: couple other topics before we get the best bet. So 499 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: for number one, I have to I have to say 500 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: something about what I thought was one of the most 501 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: impressive performances that I can recall in the last few years. 502 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: And that's what Josh Dobbs did for the Minnesota Vikings. 503 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: And I know you guys probably don't care about Josh 504 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: Dobbs the Vikings. You know they got the win. They're 505 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: not a playoff team. Kirk Cousins out for the season. No, 506 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, blah blah blah blah blah. So Josh Dobbs 507 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: was traded to Minnesota this week. Okay, he was traded 508 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: there this week. According to reports from everything I read, 509 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: he basically was the backup quarterback on Thursday at practice. 510 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: That's it. Backup. Did not take any first team snaps. 511 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: Took a grand total of zero snaps from the Vikings 512 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: starting center Gregarrett Bradbury took none. He just arrived with 513 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 1: the team. He just was traded there. He's been playing 514 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: around the league. This is his This is the third 515 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: team Josh Dobbs will have played for in this calendar 516 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty three. Remember the playoff game essentially the 517 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: playoff game in Week eighteen for Tennessee against Jacksonville, where 518 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: he showed well and nearly won it. They ended up 519 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: losing to Jacksonville. Then there was he gets traded to 520 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: Arizona and he starts with them, and I don't care 521 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: that he went one in seven. They don't have a 522 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: lot of talent on that team. Okay, they end up 523 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: going one and seven, but he had to awesome win 524 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: over Dallas as a huge underdog. So then he gets 525 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: traded to Minnesota. Okay, it reminded me of you know, 526 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: I was trying to think of an analogy. I don't 527 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: know if this totally applies because it's not fully thought through. 528 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: So you guys know, obviously I have a men's basketball 529 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: team we always love to talk about. So my buddy 530 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: had a friend that he had played with and he 531 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: joined our team like last year. He's a really good 532 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: basketball player. I mean, he played D three. He's a wing. 533 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: He's just awesome player. He's younger, he's probably like thirty three, 534 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: but he's really freaking good. And one day in one 535 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: of our basketball games, like there was like a loose 536 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: ball and then the ref blue of the whistle. So 537 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: it was like kind of every day. Everybody stopped and 538 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: I see this guy. His name is Ryan. He uses 539 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: his foot to like pull the soccer ball up like 540 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: a pullback and flips it up and then brings his 541 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: foot around like a soccer move. Anybody who's played soccer 542 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: knows what I'm talking about. And I was like, holy shit, Ryan, 543 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: you play soccer. He's like, yeah, yeah, I played a 544 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: lot growing up, but I gave it up to play basketball. 545 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: I was like, interesting, and I could just see from 546 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: that one moment, I know he can play soccer. So my, 547 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: you know, the wheels are turning on my head. I 548 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: plan a men's soccer team. I hit up our guys. Hey, 549 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: I know this guy. I haven't seen him play soccer. 550 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: He's good for our team. Just trust me on this. 551 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: It's it's like you throw someone you know that they 552 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: can swim, and then you throw them in the deep 553 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: end and then they're like, oh, yeah, you know, I 554 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: did some Navy Seals training. So if you want to 555 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: tie a cement brick to my foot and put me 556 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: in a straight jacket. I could probably figure it out, 557 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, no big deal. That's what I think of 558 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: when Josh Dobbs enters the game for Minnesota. Okay, he 559 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: goes in safety, like, oh man, this guy look he 560 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: definitely looks shook. There's no chance Minnesota's a deep trouble 561 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: that the starter hall got knocked out. So then on 562 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: like the next series, Dobbs is scrambling for his life 563 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: and left tackles out for Minnesota. Dobs are scrambling for 564 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: his life and he fumbles and the Falcons run it 565 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: back to the one yard line and you can look 566 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: it up online. I put it out there. I was like, 567 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: oh wow, this is about to get away from the Vikings. 568 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: Falcons touchdown here, probably ices it. I mean, Dobbs arrived 569 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: at the facility this week. Now we know, as we 570 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: talked about last week. Josh Dobbs literally and I had 571 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: to look this up. The Minnesota Star Tribune called him 572 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: a rocket scientist because he majored in aerospace engineering at 573 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: Tennessee got a four point zero. Famously, he spent a 574 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: month at NASA's Kennedy Space Center as an intern. We 575 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: talked about all this, right. He was a good quarterback 576 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: at Tennessee with the Vals, made a bunch of big 577 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: plays in bowl games, undefeated in bowl games. Smart is 578 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: the keyword here, Okay, the Falcons, of course, because Arthur 579 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: Smith is a buffoon, and I'm not going to go 580 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: in on him, but it's pretty clear. I think I've 581 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: subtly hinted at this before. And this is not a 582 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: shot to any of our listeners who were born wealthy. 583 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: But Arthur Smith was born on third base. Literally, I 584 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: mean his father is the founder of FedEx. You know 585 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: that guy's were fifty billion dollars. Okay, So Arthur Smith 586 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: answers to nobody. He knows everything, He's always right, you 587 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: know that kind of guy. And that's not a shot. 588 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: I know we have a high net worth income listener base. 589 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm not taking shots to anybody, but Arthur Smith coaches 590 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: like he was born on third base. So he doesn't 591 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: answer to anyone. Well except when you get that ball 592 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: after the Dobs fumble, it's what is it fourth? Yeah, 593 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: it's for first and goal from the one. And I 594 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: had to write down the series of plays here, okay, 595 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: just to put to go up fifteen to three okay 596 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: because it was eight three. After the safety, they go 597 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: false start and then they get it back up first 598 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: and goal from the six. They get to quickly get 599 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: the five yards by second goal from the one. Arthur 600 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: Smith calls an end around to tight end John ohu 601 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: Smith end around from the one you just drafted b 602 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: John Robinson in the top ten. No game for John 603 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: Whu Smith. Then they go to Tyler Algier their thumper 604 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: minus four yards b John Robinson not on the field, 605 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: and they settle for a field goal twenty five yard 606 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: are from young Waykup because you know, when you take 607 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: over at the first and goal at to one, it's 608 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: cool to settle for like a twenty three yard twenty 609 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: five yard field goal. And at that right there, I 610 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: was like, man, that's how you lose games. Well, what 611 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: do you think happened? On the very next series, smart 612 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: guy Josh Dobbs delivers converse three huge thirds downs, including 613 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: one with his legs, and it gets that touchdown and boom, 614 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: it's game on and Josh Dobbs ends up coming back 615 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: for the victory. One of those performances that you're like, 616 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: this guy's amazing, and it's it's incredible, like he just 617 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: showed up, doesn't know all of his teammates' names. There's 618 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: a report, it's not really a report, I guess whatever. 619 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: These these reporters are hearing that Josh Dobbs didn't fully 620 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: know the playbook. So in between plays, you know, the 621 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: play clock starts and they could talk to the players 622 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: and the help, the quarterback and the helmet and they're 623 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: essentially telling Dobbs what the plays are and what the 624 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: routes are and where guys are gonna be. And Dobbs, 625 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: because he's smart four point zero grade point average, he 626 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: can quickly process and boom he's able to deliver. And 627 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,959 Speaker 1: what a comeback, game winning drive for the touchdown. Like 628 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you guys, like Josh Dobbs is an 629 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: awesome story. I think he had sixty yards rushing just 630 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: like that is the stuff dreams are made of. You know, 631 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: my assistant, I'm the assistant coach of a girl soccer team, 632 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: and you know, we had our best performance of the season. 633 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: It felt like everything we worked on in practice all 634 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: season they did it. The defense listened and shut out 635 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: there the leading scorer on the other team, who's oh 636 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: was an all star player. She did nothing. And yeah, 637 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm not being rude, like she was crying at halftime 638 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: because we had totally shut her down, like she was upset. Understandable. Listen, 639 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: we played great defense, we knew we knew the game 640 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: plan on offense. One girl had a hat trick. Like 641 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: every play, every strategy we worked through all season. Boom, 642 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: we delivered. And it's just you. You just say that 643 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: and you watch everybody understand their roles and you're like, 644 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: this is so awesome. This feels great. And I kind 645 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: of feel the same way about this Josh top story. Honestly, 646 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: it was really fun to watch it. Now, I'm the 647 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: idiot who liked Atlanta. I bet Atlanta. I had Atlanta 648 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: in the pick and pool. Pick a pool was awesome 649 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 1: last week. I cashed a little bit. Did not cast 650 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: this week. Let's just say that it did not go well. 651 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: I think I lost some ground on the leader. That's okay, 652 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: it's fine, plenty of time left. Anyways. Josh Dobbs, listen, 653 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: you need to become a fan. I don't care that 654 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: he was one in seven in Arizona. It doesn't matter. 655 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: Quarterback wins is that's a silly stat we've been over 656 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: this all right. Now for a positive quarterback story, let's 657 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: just do a couple of minutes of c J. Stroud 658 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: and yes, I will weave in Bryce Young. So I 659 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: remember New Year's Eve. I'm at a friend's house, and 660 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: of course he doesn't have cable TV. So I've got 661 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: to chary to Jerry rig It so that I can 662 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: watch Georgia versus Ohio State in the National Conference in 663 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: the National semi final game. And you know, George's incredible, undefeated. 664 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: The defense is impenetrable. And here we go with CJ. Stroud, 665 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: who struggled against Michigan, and CJ. Stroud hadn't really faced 666 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: any amazing defenses, and what does he do against awesome Georgia. 667 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: He is unstoppable. And it reminded me of when Justin Herbert, 668 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: who again he was not the best quarterback in the 669 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: world at Oregon. He was running like some basic schemes. 670 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: You know, the coach is very conservative, nothing aggressive, and 671 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you see the Rose Bowl and 672 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's like winning with his legs and he's doing 673 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: some stuff. WHOA, what do we have here? Like you 674 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: knew he was really good, but that was when it 675 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh. And that's one of the 676 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: problems a sidebar here with the NFL mock drafts and stuff. 677 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: You've got to not judge quarterbacks on the system they 678 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: were in. And this was a huge miss for me. 679 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: With Patrick Mahomes in college, he played for like Texas Tech, 680 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: like Arena League Defenses, Chuck and Duck. Nothing. It didn't 681 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: feel like smart football. There's a reason that there's like 682 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: no quarterbacks from the Big twelve have really done anything 683 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: in the lead because you don't have to process. It's 684 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: a one read league. There's no defense there. And I 685 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: dropped the ball. I did not think Patrick Mahomes is 686 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. I didn't think that. Well, clearly other 687 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: NFL gms didn't. He was the Chiefs traded up to 688 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: get him at ten. Anyways, So Stroud in that game 689 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: against Georgia is lights out. He is running, he is 690 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: throwing darts, Harrison is dominating the game. And then Harrison 691 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: gets a concussion in the end zone, leaves the game, 692 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: and Stroud's like, you know, and they still had a 693 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: really good talent obviously, but Stroud was unable to get 694 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: the dub. But it was like, WHOA, And I remember 695 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: and I put it out there, Stroud's got to be 696 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: the top pick, right, you have to it has to be. 697 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: And of course then throughout the process it's all Bryce 698 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: Young's going one. Bryce Young's going one, somebody's trading up 699 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: from it, and I don't know, never the biggest Bryce 700 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: Young guy. I like Stroud over Young. I didn't think 701 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: either should go number one, but I thought Stroud was 702 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: a better quarterback. And sometimes you end up getting sucked 703 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: into narratives, just as you do gambling week to week. 704 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: And I ended up thinking, like, Okay, you know, Houston's 705 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: taken Stroud, but I don't know is he gonna win? There? 706 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: They coin they're probably gonna end up taking another quarterback. 707 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: Like again, Houston had nothing c J. Stroud so far 708 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: this season fourteen touchdowns, one interception. In what I believe 709 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: is one of the crazier stats that I saw yesterday, 710 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: c J Stroud in eight games has fourteen touchdowns. Kenny 711 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: Pickett has thirteen touchdown passes in twenty one games. That's right. 712 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: C J. Stroud, the rookie, has now more career touchdown 713 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: passes than Kenny Pickett of the Steelers. And you know 714 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: this is a c. J. Stroud who comes in with 715 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: Nico Collins and Tank Dell who nobody had heard of. 716 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: They went and got Dalton Schulten free agency was good. 717 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: They're starting running back. Pierce was out. They had no 718 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: run game at all yesterday. I'm an idiot who picked 719 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: up Singletary in fantasy, thinking, oh, Singletary b the guy, 720 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: I'll get the carries you like? Did nothing. I mean, 721 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: I had like ten points, but that's not that's not 722 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: winning me any games. They had no run game. Stroud 723 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: trailing for most of the game, and he has, you know, 724 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 1: really one of the great performances any rookie has had 725 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: in a regular season game in NFL history. Four hundred 726 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: and seventy yards passing record, five touchdown passes that ties 727 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: the rookie record, no interceptions. Three Texans had over one 728 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: hundred yards receiving. Dalton Schultz, Tank Dell, who I do have. 729 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: He was on my bench in fantasy. And oh, by 730 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: the way, how's this for the cherry on top? CJ. 731 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: Stroud lost his kicker to an injury, so they had 732 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: a backup running back, handling kickoffs and extra points and 733 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: field goals. So now it's like fourth down, we gotta 734 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: go here. We can't risk kicking. At one point there 735 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: was a penalty pushback, so they're like, we got a kick. 736 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: It was fourth and a long one, and the backup 737 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: running back made a twenty nine yard field goal, the 738 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: first running back to make a few goal in over 739 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: forty years. And folks, if you miss the performance, Stroud 740 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: looks poised, confident, slinging it back there in the pocket, 741 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: just one of those Holy cow, this dude looks like 742 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: a keeper. C J. Stroud was just balling out. And 743 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: here's the weird thing. Now you look at the standings, 744 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: and again, I think we all agree Jacksonville Foreshore is 745 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,479 Speaker 1: the best team in that division. But they did get 746 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: housed at home by c J. Stroud on the Texans. 747 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: And I'll remember that because you know that was when 748 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: I lost my survivor pick at four and four. Houston 749 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: is not dead, folks, They're not totally done. Can they 750 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: catch Jastonville? I don't know. Wild card seems unlikely, but CJ. 751 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: Stroud gives that team confidence. I mean, he now has wins. 752 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: He's beaten Jacksonville, he's beaten the Saints, who supposedly have 753 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: a good defense. He's beaten Tampa and their other win 754 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: was against Pittsburgh, which that was a big win. Okay, down, 755 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: he will step up in class against the Bengals next week. Now, 756 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: the good news is on the surface, it's possible the 757 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: Bengals overlook the Texans. Remember Bengals had the big game 758 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: last night against the Bills, and then after that they 759 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: got the Ravens, which will be for first place in 760 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 1: the division. So there is a world where Cincinnati maybe 761 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: has a bit of a letdown against the Texans. But 762 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: see J. Stroud. They got a game against Arizona, they 763 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: got Denver, two games left against Tennessee. Who the hell 764 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: knows who quarterback in Tennessee. So no, Houston may mess 765 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: around here and win eight or nine games and be 766 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: a very interesting team in late December, which is not 767 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: something anybody had on their bingo card this NFL offseason. Now, 768 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,959 Speaker 1: let's dovetail from the number two pick to the number 769 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: one pick, and that would be Bryce Young, who I 770 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: genuinely feel bad for. Guys. I don't know if that's 771 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: gonna be a popular sentiment or or not, but just 772 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: watching him, Like again, contrast CJ. Stroud four hundred and 773 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: seventy yards, five touchdowns, and he played in the early 774 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: window and then in a late window. It's like, oh, 775 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: here's Bryce Young dinking and dunking for thirty five passing 776 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: yards in the first half. Here's Bryce Young. Oh that's 777 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: a pick six and another pick six. He threw two 778 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: pick sixes to Kenny Moore. And I did have the 779 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: uh Texans, I'm sorry, not the Texans. I had the 780 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: Panthers and a teaser, and that one really stung. It 781 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 1: was to complete a fourteen teaser. The other three cash 782 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: and of course you know Bryce Young, he ended up 783 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: throwing three interceptions. And he listen. I said this the 784 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: whole time. He is too small to play quarterback in 785 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't see the confidence in the pocket. 786 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: I know all everybody's gonna talk, well, they don't have 787 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: any weapons, Like let's just stop, Like if if you 788 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: if you don't have weapons, you can still succeed. I mean, hell, 789 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: look at seats shroud. He's slinging it. And this is 790 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: the this is the sad thing. So the new offensive 791 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: coordinator takes over, there's all this excitement and they get 792 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: to win last week and then this week, it doesn't 793 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 1: look as good. But here's where it looks really bad. 794 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: Once you do a deeper die Thomas Brown two games 795 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: and you have two touchdowns, Like that's it. Where's the dynamic? 796 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,919 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not really doing anything. You even watched 797 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell with the Raiders yesterday. Now, I know he's 798 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: got Davonte Adams out there, and he's got Josh Jacob 799 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: which is significant talent, but like I kind of feel 800 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: bad for Brycetal. I don't want to say he's set 801 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: up to fail. And remember we've seen star quarterback struggle before. 802 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman was an abomination. Peyton Manning his first year 803 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: was really horrific. Eli Manning was geezed, a total train 804 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: wreck in New York. Like, yes, you can rebound from 805 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: one season. The thing is, I'm not even seeing glimpses 806 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: of it from Bryce Young, Like nothing is really bad. 807 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: And the worst part is the other guy, c J. 808 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: Stroud is crushing and that it's gonna be tough, like 809 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: he's gonna be compared to him as long as he's 810 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: still the starting quarterback. Now they don't have a first 811 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: round pick next year. I saw Brian Burns got a concussion. 812 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: They could have traded him, like they could have done 813 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: some stuff at the deadline. The offensive line is really weak. 814 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: I'll just put this out there now. I feel kind 815 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: of sort of bad for Bryce Young. He's not an 816 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: enviable spot. I'm sure he can turn around.

All right, let's wrap up what 860 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 1: it was. A lengthy Monday NFL podcast with the best 861 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: bet Jets Chargers. It was three and a half. Let 862 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: me check what I'm seeing here. It looked like, yeah, 863 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 1: it did come down to three in some places. Listen. 864 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: A lot of people like the Chargers. Yeah, you can 865 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: get a juice three. The Jets offensive line has a 866 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: lot of questions. Looks like there could be three or 867 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: four backups for the Jets. I did see one piece 868 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: of news didn't get as much coverage. Josh Palmer, the 869 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: talented number, the new number two. He was the number 870 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: three before Mike Williams went down receiver for the Chargers 871 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: injured on ir Now, I happen to watch a lot 872 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,959 Speaker 1: of Chargers out here. Went to the game a couple 873 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: of weeks ago against the Bears. They don't have a 874 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 1: lot of talent on the outside. It's essentially Keenan Allen, 875 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,959 Speaker 1: two rookies and this kid from Stanford who's a fifth rounder, 876 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: who can't you know, he's a solid possession receiver, but 877 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 1: you know, he was like probably fifth or sixth on 878 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 1: their depth chart ating in the season, and now he's 879 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: probably gonna be like third or fourth. There's a scenario 880 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: where Sauce Gardner says, you know what, I don't usually follow, 881 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: but I'm going to in this scenario follow Keenan Allen 882 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: and we're gonna just say, go ahead, beat us somewhere else, 883 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: or you say, you know what, he's just gonna stay 884 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,839 Speaker 1: on one side of the field. We're gonna say, we're 885 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,439 Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna have to throw it to the other side. 886 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 1: This side is a no fly zone. So the Jets defense, 887 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: which has rattled Hurts, it rattled Allen for four interceptions, 888 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,439 Speaker 1: and it you know, slowed down Mahomes for the final 889 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: two quarters two and a half quarters. What can they 890 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: do to get under the skin of Justin Herbert At 891 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,439 Speaker 1: the same time, I you know, is Zach Wilson gonna 892 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,400 Speaker 1: be upright long enough to do any damage? Here's the 893 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: good news. Bryce Hall is in line for a monster game. 894 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: I haven't seen prop numbers for him ushing and receiving, 895 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: but the line I mean, I like Kenneth Mrie as 896 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 1: a linebacker, but he's not gonna do well in coverage 897 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: against Breeze Hall the safeties. You know, Derwin James loved 898 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: to be in the box. I just I don't know 899 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: about this. This Chargers defense matching up against the Jets weapons. Now, 900 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: if Carol Wilson on the outside should have a lot 901 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 1: of success, the question is can Zach Wilson make throws? Like? 902 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: That's what it really comes down to, will you have time? 903 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: I'll also add it looks like no Corey Linsley again 904 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: for the Chargers. Quinn Williams up the middle is a 905 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: big one. He should be able to be disruptive in 906 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: the run game. I like the Jets linebackers against Eckler. 907 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 1: It won't be popular, but I think the under under 908 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: in the Jets would be by play. I'll probably end 909 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: up teasing it because you can. Yeah, you could tease 910 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: the Jets up to what nine and a half six 911 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 1: point teaser and then you tease it under forty five. Like, 912 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 1: I don't know, how are the Jets getting I mean, 913 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: any any big game this season? The Jets have not 914 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 1: really been able to score. There was the Denver game, 915 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: but come on, nobody really thinks that was that big 916 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: of a game. So the Jets score twenty two against Buffalo, 917 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 1: the walk off punt return in overtime, ten against Dallas, 918 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: ten against New England, twenty against Case. They scored twenty 919 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 1: against the Eagles, thirteen against the Giants. Again. I just 920 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: I don't see where the Jets are scoring, like into 921 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,879 Speaker 1: the twenties. You know, if you give me a twenty 922 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: one to seventeen, Jets win the under and Jets hits. 923 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 1: I think the Jets can win this, and folks, the 924 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 1: New York Jets could wake up Tuesday morning in the 925 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: mix for a wildcard spot, like in the mix with 926 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: a win here. It's a big one. I will be 927 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 1: watching closely and we'll talk to you tomorrow
