00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: Broncos and that will be great. And then we have

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: an entire slate of games, but not really because we've

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: got six teams on buy. So uh, the schedule takes

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of a breather here. Uh, And that's nice. Greg.

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: We get to focus up a little bit more on

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Sunday and teams get to get healthy. That's nice too.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: It does feel like a big weight off the shoulders

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: for some reason. It's a big deal. But we're not

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: doing them the math thing anymore, where you figure out

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: how many teams, because it's a new equation at this

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: at this stage, here we go fresh math teams play

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: already six games the mind twelve games to talk about matters.

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Got it? You know you nailed it? Still got it? Baby? Alright?

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: So good stuff, Greg, Um, good job wearing purple today.

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: You are a ally, as they say, yeah to give

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: the listeners context. I think it's it's um, it's a

22
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: ware purple day. It's a ware purple day to support

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the LGBT community. And you guys didn't. Yeah. Yeah, Mark

24
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: and Dan were actually texting this morning and they were like,

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing purple, Like there's no way. I feel

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: like it's a little showy. And Greg not only wearing

27
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a purple tie, but then a pin that wardrobe gave me.

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know what the pen means. Just it's like,

29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: what is great means an ally something and you're not it?

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Actually they said that is it like this? If there's

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: ever there's as a thirsty ally, it's Greg. I mean

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: we got we got like seven emails about it. I

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna say a word. There was signs up around

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: the building and say just do it. You don't say anything.

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: You don't make a big deal. You're the one making

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: a big deal. Hold on because you're insecure about your prejudice.

37
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: And also also I would just say, as a note

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: to the to the organizers, yeah, I mean you're suggesting that,

39
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: like you you you know. Erica sent a fire text

40
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: to us yesterday telling us that we must show up

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: in purple. Well, I absolutely wouldn't. I don't. I don't

42
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: own in purple. I don't own purple clothes. I told

43
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: you to go to Target. You could go down to

44
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: wardrobe and you could get handkerchief. I had a thunder

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: Dan Marley Jersey for the Sun's I don't know where

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: that is. That was the last time I had something

47
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: purpose that's yours, I know. But do you know I'm

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: an ally and a supporter of you and the entire community.

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Right your angle on it is aggressive, Mark Um, you

50
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: told me to perish before the show. I was connected

51
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: to the That was life style. This is the last

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: show of the Round the NFL podcast. We hope you

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Um, Okay, good good job. Greg was having

54
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: some fun. You are. Yeah, the next edition will be

55
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: just be me, Colleen and Erica. It's gonna be like

56
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: split around the Split Ends. And we heard by the

57
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: way that there's there's percolation out there that the Split

58
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: Ends podcast is doing well. And and that's fine that

59
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: the new podcast with Erica Tampost and Colleen Wolfe has

60
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: been successful. But I need a data dive, grave digger,

61
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: can you get on the microsecond? And we got so

62
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: many games to get to. But there's some important stuff

63
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: we've gotta talk about. You, Grave Digger, what's up? Hey,

64
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: how's it going? Ricky? Don't listen? Um, I need you

65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: to do a data deep dive analytics style to make

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: sure that the numbers that Ricky and Connie are getting

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: off this podcast aren't shaving off the backs of our shows. Numbers.

68
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: You're saying you don't want listeners tuning out of a

69
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: t n just to tune into our numbers are dipping

70
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: in correlation with the arrival of the show. That show

71
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: needs to go away executed, especially the Tuesday show. I

72
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: think that's when you can really Okay, you could give

73
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: Ricky headset back, but just if you could do that

74
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: for me, Grave Digger, it's a it's a really good show.

75
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: We heard. I mean, it's also taken over our Instagram

76
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: page and uh, you know that's fine. Just you know

77
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: it's I have heavily advertised I have not missed an

78
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: episode yet, so I would assume all listeners are in

79
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: the same boat. Can I trust you for this? No?

80
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: She he works for her, she's his boss. You can

81
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: trust nobody. That's true. All right, let's get to it.

82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: Week seven usually start with the prime time games, but

83
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: they don't do much for me. I don't know about you, guys.

84
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to them very They're solid, but unspectacular. So

85
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: let's start with the draft and UM. This week, Greg

86
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: picks number one. I picked two, Mark picks three. Now,

87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: if you listen to them to the Tuesday show, you'll

88
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: know there was a trade that went down Greg to

89
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: get back Chargers Ravens last week. Gave me three opportunities.

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: This is the agreement to jump him at any point,

91
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: and I get to use those whenever I wish. Greggy,

92
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm using one right here. I'm jumping. Yeah. I'm curious

93
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: for what well say. I wouldn't call it UM the

94
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: A plus state of the year, but I'm gonna use

95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: it on the two best teams in the NFC North. Okay,

96
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't my pick since Pat Baltimore. There you go.

97
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: We'll start right there, the Bengals at the Baltimore Ravens.

98
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that that's not your first pick, and I'm

99
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: a little bit upset. I don't think you're telling the truth.

100
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: M And I'll explain why a minute. Anyway, here we go,

101
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, first place in the a f

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: C North on the line, and I'm so excited for

103
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: this mark because the Bengals are a great story obviously

104
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: right now, and they are playing very well. They're playing

105
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: well against good competition. Now this is a big test though.

106
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: You go on the road to Baltimore, who is playing

107
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: lights out right now. They've won five games in a row.

108
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: They just embarrassed the Chargers. Um So, if the Bengals

109
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: are indeed for real and a team that we should

110
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: look when we start to look ahead and take a

111
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: peek at the playoff picture and all that, is Cincinnati

112
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: a nice story or an actual player in this thing.

113
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: How they perform on Sunday is going to go a

114
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: long way for me personally. Yeah, I think it's a

115
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: chance for the Bengals to announce to everyone, for people

116
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: that haven't been tracking them that closely, Hey look at us.

117
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: We're spicy, our bodies are spicy. We are a team

118
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: to contend with, and you're getting a peak version of

119
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: the rave which bodies specifically, I'm in a pro athletes,

120
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: I would whole host of that compared to other teams.

121
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: Are I think they do they are probably spicier than

122
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: ever physically. Um, that one was just sometimes you'll throw

123
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: bodies and things like that. But that one really stood

124
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: out for some reason because it's this because this team

125
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: is standing out and it's not just you know, it's

126
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: not just Joe Burrow and Jamaar Chase. I think their

127
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 1: offense is so resilient, though there is something different with Burrow,

128
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: who just wants the ball at the end of the game.

129
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: And I think they are they are not. They talked

130
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: about Jamar Chase said that last week. The attitude in

131
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: this locker room is we will step on people's next

132
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: We're going to take people out. And that's not been

133
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: how you've thought about the Bengals forever. And this is

134
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: the ascid test. And it's not just offense, it's it's

135
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: it's lou and a Rumo, who Greg announced in our newsroom.

136
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: Uh mentioned his name on NFL Network. You're right, how

137
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: often does that happen? Greg? Not too often. But this

138
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: defense is the fifth fewest points allowed league wide. They've

139
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: been really good against the run. That's totally different when

140
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: you play Lamar Jackson and Ravens backfield. That despite having

141
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: like the entire cast wiped out. They run the ball

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: really well with some of those backs the last couple

143
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: of weeks they they have, and yet I think they're

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna need to throw it to win this game. I

145
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: don't really trust that running game totally yet. Outside of

146
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Lamar and I think if you look at the Bengals,

147
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: like you said, a good rush defense, I think Rashad

148
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: Bateman being back makes a difference. You know, he came

149
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: in last week, he had six targets, looked competent, and

150
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins comes back eventually. I trust the Bengals defense though,

151
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: to keep this game close. This number I think is

152
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: six six and a half. Like I like the Bengals

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: to keep it closer in that because of the defense.

154
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: But it's the offense that I have bigger questions on

155
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati because I just think they need to have

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: a little more dimensions. I want to see him against

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: a blitzing type defense like Baltimore. I remember that nightmare

158
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: game they had against the Ravens a year ago where

159
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: Burrow and Zach Taylor and the offensive line was flummixed

160
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: about everything they sent. And I love Jamar Chase, but

161
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a little more dimensions. You're not

162
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: getting Tee Higgins involved, Y're not getting Boyd involved, and

163
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: they are starting to get Chris Evans involved, who I

164
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: really like as this pass catching back spice Rack is

165
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: a huge fan, like great hands, moves really well. They

166
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: might have found like a Geo Bernard upgrade in this kid,

167
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Chris Evans, But it's the offense I don't quite trust

168
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: as much. And you know, uh, I like their roster

169
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: though beyond I know, I love their big three, like

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: you're saying that Joe Mix and Jamaar, Chase, Joe Burrow,

171
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna win a lot of games if those guys

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: stay healthier at least score a lot of points. But

173
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: there's I think Boyd's a player. I think t Higgins.

174
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: The're good that they're not getting involved that much like

175
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: the two of them combined. The artis and it's not

176
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: close to what Chase has a right Well, maybe this

177
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: will change any other thoughts on the Ravens. By the way,

178
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: who would you just more broad question, who would you

179
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: rather have for the next ten years at quarterback? Burrow

180
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: or Lamar oh Lamar by far, I mean he's already

181
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: won an m v P and he's on plate pace

182
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: for another Burrow has set a really great bassline with

183
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: his sixteen games, But I don't know if he's going

184
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: to be special. I guess. I mean, is it cliche

185
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: to wonder physically where Lamar would be eight years from

186
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: now with the way that they could just count well

187
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows and the exploded last year, that's fair. I mean,

188
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: I I I'm thinking about the next three year half

189
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: because you have to say Lamar. But I think Burrow

190
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: has been in one of the better stories of the

191
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: a f C after that awful August for the entire offense. Basically,

192
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: Eli Apple is playing a lot for this Bengals team

193
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: and he has not really been picked on. So I

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: think the Ravens now have the dimensions in this passing game.

195
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: It's like, go go pick on Eli Apple for four quarters,

196
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Go go do it, Go pick on Eli All right,

197
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Who that Remember when Eli got

198
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: then he get when he was a giant rookie, Get

199
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: thrown app dunc take dunk Tanklili Apple. I don't know.

200
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: His mom was always you know, doing stuff, tweeting. Somebody

201
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: threw him in like a cold tank or something in

202
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: the locker room and it was a story. Yeah, you're right,

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: there was. There was a lot of can you look

204
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: that up for me? The Eli apple Um hazing incident?

205
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's um okay, Yeah, that's a great game. Alright, Greg,

206
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: you're up. Okay. So this my number one pick was

207
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: going to be and now and still will be Bears

208
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: at Bucks. And here's why. In the four pm slot

209
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: there's two dog games. Don't want one of those dog games.

210
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: Number two. You've got Trent Green on your call. I've

211
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: got Jim Dance and Tony Romo. I care and I'm

212
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: interested in this game because this was the game last

213
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: year where you started to wonder, are the Bucks really

214
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: got to get it together? And they've mentioned it a

215
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: lot this week. They scored only nineteen points against Chicago

216
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: a year ago. It was the game where Tom Brady

217
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: held up the four number because he got confused at

218
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: the game. Not that they're not motivated every week, but

219
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: I think they want to show how much they've changed.

220
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: And I want to see how much Justin Fields has changed,

221
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: because to me, this is been This is gonna be

222
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: his toughest matchup since he played Cleveland. You can't run

223
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: it on Tampa. But there's such a good running team

224
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: Chicago over the last couple of weeks, You're gonna have

225
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: to rely on Justin Fields and them to handle all

226
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: the blitz. Is Todd Bowles has sends at him. I've

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: liked what I've seen out of Fields and Naggy the

228
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. It's like a slow build. This

229
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: is a big time test and I've had fun watching him,

230
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have fun watching him whether he gets

231
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: blown out or not. I'm with you on Fields. I mean,

232
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: they had fifty five passing yards against the Packers in

233
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the first half, but if you go look at the

234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: drive where the Bears made it seventeen to fourteen. I

235
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: thought Fields made some good throws a first drive of

236
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: the game. He had some dimes. Then they went to

237
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: sleep though for a while after that they are a

238
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: little streaky. I think at this in this game, I

239
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna hold in the nineteen points

240
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: like you did a year ago. You might have to

241
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: ask Fields to do a little bit more in this

242
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: and just open it up. I mean, there is a

243
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: bit these Bucks secondary is banged up. It sounds like

244
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield, who had a concussion scenario but practiced in full,

245
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: will be back. But you know, Carlton Davis, Shaun Murphy, Bunting,

246
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman. I mean, there is an opportunity for them

247
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: to do more than just be this sort of run, big, pretty,

248
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: run heavy offense. It's been They've been so good running

249
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: that they kind of haven't had to pass that much.

250
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: But yeah, you need a little more. I was thinking

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn, who it was put on the COVID list.

252
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's been vaccinated though, because he's done

253
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: his interviews without a mask. But he has got to

254
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: get a couple of positive tests. He has been a

255
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: huge difference maker for that defense. I don't I don't

256
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: love well, I don't love anything about this game for

257
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the Bears. Um, I don't know if it would be

258
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: there at six overall in our draft. Greg, So if

259
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: you really wanted it that bad, it's kind of about

260
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: the time of day. I also watched the Ravens live

261
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: last week and that hurt me, and so I I

262
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: don't like to do it twice in all right, you

263
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: have interesting you have a different way of drafting. I've

264
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: noticed that the last couple of weeks. But you know

265
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bucks on top of it, have

266
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: had a you know, half of bye week, so they

267
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: haven't played in ten days because they played t N

268
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: f UM on October fourteenth. So that that, I think

269
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: is only going to help a team, a veteran team

270
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: like the Bucks in terms of health and preparation. Um,

271
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: so I fully expect Tom Brady to do what he

272
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: does now, which is, um, I know you have, by

273
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: the way, Doc by the way as your number one

274
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in the QB rankings now, Greg, but just Brady's

275
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: mastery of the position is like, Okay, it's like it's

276
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: the Peyton Manning thing where he's just smarter than everyone

277
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: now and just has figured every He's figured it all out,

278
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: and they all it's that old sports thing. It's like, Um,

279
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: when you're an athlete, the more you learn about the

280
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: sport as you get older, Um, you know, your physical

281
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: abilities sometimes go down as your knowledge goes up. So

282
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: but Brady's somehow got into situation where he mastered the

283
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: sport from an intellectual standpoint, but he's still at a

284
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: high level. Uh, Physically, it's not supposed to work that way.

285
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: So that I just think he's gonna pick a part

286
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: of good Chicago defense because he does it to everybody.

287
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: And the other guy I wanted to bring up was

288
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, who's uh a really good player for these Bucks.

289
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: And I know we brought him up a couple of

290
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and maybe it's just the Brady effect, but

291
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: he's been a really big addition to that offense in

292
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: terms of a week to week ad that keeps them

293
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: from getting too predictable. I'd have to make a list,

294
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: but I feel like he's a top ten to fifteen

295
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: running back right now. He's playing great and they're gonna

296
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: need him. They might not have Antonio Brown, they might

297
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: not have Rob Gronkowski. He was a big part of

298
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: this book I got sent in the mail. It's good.

299
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: It's called The Season in the Sun. It's by Lars Anderson,

300
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: and it's about the Bucks and this Bears game figured

301
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: big in it and it really kind of goes through

302
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: how much Brady struggled mentally to make this offense his own,

303
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,359
Speaker 1: and they they he needed the bye week to basically

304
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: here from arians that like, make it, do whatever you

305
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: want with it, make it the Brady offense. If you want,

306
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: and Brady sort of took charge after that, but it

307
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: was pretty fascinating, like how much he was struggling mentally

308
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: early in that season, ripping through the entire book during

309
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: a busy pretty good. Nice job. He's a reader. He's

310
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: a reader. Tom Brady through six games, two thousands. Want

311
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: to be two thousand, sixty four passing yards, seventeen touchdowns,

312
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: three picks. He's got eleven touch on, zero picks on

313
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: the red zone. It's stupid that I should be number

314
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: one by It's a little early to talk m v P.

315
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I think it's too early because there's so many great

316
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right now. But I've noticed Brady has never mentioned

317
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: because the narrative isn't great, and it's like Brady is

318
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: playing as well or better than By the way, what's

319
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: wrong with the Brady narrative? The forty four year old

320
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: that's a fine narrative. But people are just more excited

321
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: about Kyler. Just as same thing. Why Belichick when they

322
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: won four hundred titles in four d twelve years, um

323
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: wasn't when the coach of the year of the year.

324
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: It's just like, yeah, I'm bored of that guy. Giving

325
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: somebody else. All right, stay right there, we'll be right back.

326
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Mark, you're up your first pick. I

327
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: feel like you got a good spot here because Greg

328
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of a reach there, even though he

329
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: gave you his reason. Isn't much of a week you

330
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: took the Oh I love, I love, I love what

331
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: what's happened to me? Because you're going to take the

332
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: other good four pm game at some point here, at

333
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: some point I may, but not right here at this spot.

334
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm going Kansas City at Tennessee in the early window.

335
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: And I looked at the spread on this game, and

336
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: I think the Titans have a reason to feel a

337
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: little a little disrespected at home after wiping up the Bills.

338
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: Is the rainmaker? Is he gonna do it? I'm not

339
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: going to do it. I just think that if you're them,

340
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: you'd have to be a little flummixed by how people

341
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: view them after what we just saw against Buffalo. But

342
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: they're a little bank since that game. In fact, in fact,

343
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: the spread became more um. I thought appalling. Didn't shrink

344
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: the way that you didn't. There wasn't a huge um

345
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: pro Titans a footage on five or something. It's well,

346
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the last time I checked, it was like

347
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: five five, five point five or something like that set

348
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: the line in Las Vegas. You're a little banged up

349
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: too if you're Tennessee coming off that game. Obviously Tarrill

350
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: of the wand but Caleb Farley, torn a c L.

351
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton is on I R. So there's a chance

352
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: here for the Chiefs to do what they do, which

353
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: is roll up points. But there's still a team that

354
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're rushing defense. Was talking to the Grave

355
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Digger before this uh podcast, and it's like, there's hope

356
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: for the Titans because you can go do what you

357
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: do well, and I thought that's exactly what they did

358
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: against Buffalo. Just lean on Derrick Henry and the rest

359
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: of the crowd and if you get a kind of

360
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: game from a J. Brown that you did. I mean,

361
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to me feel like they started the season

362
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: as remember when Cleveland played them. Cleveland has to be

363
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: perfect to keep up with the Chiefs. Now it's almost

364
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: like Kansas City's offense outside of Washington can't make the

365
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: mistakes it's making and it leads to league in giveaways.

366
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: With the defense as poorous as it's been and I

367
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: think the Washington game is a bit of an admiration.

368
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 1: Doesn't solve all their issues on defense. They made some

369
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: changes though. You know, first of all, Chris Jones hasn't

370
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: been playing. Sounds like he might be back for this game.

371
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: He he's gonna maybe move back to his natural position

372
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. The experiment of him and wasn't working. You

373
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: get Sorenson out of them, what do you mean the

374
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: offseason storyline with all the leads about it, it's amazing

375
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: what he's able to do on the outside. Yeah, hasn't

376
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: totally worked. He hasn't been as impactful. They got Sorenson

377
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: out of the starting lineup. That's seemed to help. Last

378
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: week they made a couple of plays. I'm not I'm

379
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: with you that it sets up well for the Titans

380
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: to just steamroll them when they have the ball. But

381
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: I will always take a great passing team over a

382
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: great running team, and the Chiefs are a great passing team.

383
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: They still lead the NFL and yards per drive, points

384
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: per drive. Like I know, I feel like the turnovers

385
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: are flukey. You mentioned Fulton, who had been playing really

386
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: well for Tennessee is out and so they're short at cornerback,

387
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: and I know the line maybe shouldn't be that big,

388
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: but when it comes to the locks, you don't need

389
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: to worry about the line. You just gotta get the

390
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: w And that's why I'm locking up the chiefs road.

391
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Oh I like that one. That's good. And you are

392
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: on the little streak after the miserable start, you've now

393
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: won three in a row. Great. Well, you know what

394
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: philosophy worked the last couple of years. Nothing's working this year.

395
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: Was always take the chiefs when they're available, So we'll

396
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: see if that's continued. Well, I'm doing the same thing,

397
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: and that may sound un original, but it's you just

398
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: talked about. You didn't like the spread I said the Titans,

399
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: don't I do. I'm perfectly fine with it, and I'm

400
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: locking the Chiefs up as well. That wasn't fun. I

401
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: could care less if anyone in this room um approves

402
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: of it that the Chief's offensive line has come in,

403
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: I could care less. I'm serious about that. I don't

404
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: need to do this to get the two of you

405
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: to say, what a nice job. I'm just excited. I

406
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: don't care about of course, I don't care. I picked

407
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: them too. I'm saying you spent this whole preamble and

408
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: you sent an Instagram video about how disrespected the Titans

409
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: should feel, and then you just you just locked up

410
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: against I didn't know. I didn't spend I didn't go

411
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: on the whole thing about how Mark feels this. I've

412
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: now feel disrespected slightly by the two of them for

413
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: you know your response. I've been doing some behind the

414
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: scenes host stuff for the past two minutes, and I

415
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: know I feel like Mars mad at me. I don't

416
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: think I even said anything last minute. No, no, because

417
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: you haven't one of your like after I announced the

418
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: lock a Erica, who's annoyed at me for various reasons,

419
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: doesn't use the lock sounds, and then Dan's like, it's like,

420
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: what is that? I mean, It's like, I think it

421
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: was a totally hey, boys talked, Let's just take a

422
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: break where take a breath. We're all together, everything is okay.

423
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: And also, did you know that there was questions about

424
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: the physical treatment of second year cornerback Prince A Mukamara,

425
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: a relatively small player who did not appear pleased to

426
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: have been carried and deposited into the tub by hulking

427
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: star defensive end Jason Pierre Paul did it. That's right.

428
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't Eli Apple Prince, but there was he there

429
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: was some Eli Apple controversy where he called someone a cancer,

430
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: and there was there was there. He didn't go well,

431
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: he had a confrontation with his teammate and I think

432
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: he got suspended for being just a pain okay point

433
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: and yeah, the mother was in the mix. Um mark,

434
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: I apologize and the ESPN gig for because it certainly

435
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: does sound like you. It does matter to you what

436
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: we think about the locks based on your Actually, yeah,

437
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: you're clown bro stupid asked why is why is your

438
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: mic still on? How here's a question for you? Why? Like,

439
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I only do I care when I'm

440
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: when the showing by the two of you, you know,

441
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: three of you, for Heaven's sake, and who knows what

442
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: else has happened in the back room over there was

443
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: what it was. Otherwise it would have been fine. How

444
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: about just a normal point? Was you you disrespected the

445
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: Titans after saying how they've been disrespected? Well, I've only

446
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: added to their motivation then, Uh yeah, so Derrick Henry

447
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: is gonna run for a bunch of yards. But It's

448
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: probably not gonna matter because the Chiefs are gonna score

449
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: like seven out of nine times. That's what I'm saying.

450
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Are they their offensive line is coming together. They were

451
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: able to run in short yardage, Like I think they're

452
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to run the ball a little

453
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: bit too, Like they're like the belt. Like the whole

454
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: thing with the Chiefs is like I'm in the same campus, Greg,

455
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: But like I refuse to panic because it's the Chiefs.

456
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: But if they filled to three and four, is that

457
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: a mini crisis that I think that would be the

458
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: last I mean the fact that in that game the

459
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: three first half toneovers last week, it was like, is

460
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: this the same thing again? And then they turned it on.

461
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Let's see if they get it's a big game, all right,

462
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: and then they get the Giants next week, so the

463
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs have a chance to build some momentument they could win.

464
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on, Marks, it is snaking and

465
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: you know you've got you fiery mother. Yes, you've got

466
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: to organize your Sunday's um in the role that we

467
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: play diligently ahead of time. And this has been on

468
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: my radar because it includes one of the most um

469
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: intriguing teams I've watched in years, and it is Houston

470
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: that Arizona. I just want to see the Cardinals go

471
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: in there and flex their muscles. And if you watch,

472
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: if you've watched Thursday Night Football, UM Erica, you know

473
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: about this. There is an ad uh that they played

474
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: throughout the game on national television that somehow features uh

475
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: yours truly popping up in the middle saying something totally

476
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: innocuous like they are the most interesting team in the

477
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: a f C. So I'm just gonna say this about

478
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Erica. They are the most interesting team in

479
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: the NFC. Now, if you can put that up to

480
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: get that into the next look at the camera and

481
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: then Greg and Dan. Greg and Dan be super and

482
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: like look at Mark like very invested, and then Mark

483
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: throw your pen down and really sell it. They are

484
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: the most interesting team in the NFC. Money in the bank,

485
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: now you can. Dan could squeeze it on the same

486
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: I'm not letting him that in this cut me in

487
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: that promo. Al right, you are that promo by the way,

488
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: you got upset about some other promo. You're the only

489
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: a t M face in that big time that makes

490
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: it so much more delicious to me. And it's you know,

491
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: my kids saw it last week. They didn't know what's

492
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: going on. So and on the flip side, you've got

493
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: maybe I need to make another secret phone call to

494
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: get rid of that commercial. No no, no, no, no no,

495
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: absolutely not anyway, where where are we? I would just

496
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: say this. On the flip side, for the floor is

497
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: beginning to fall out, you've got Brandon Cooks, so I

498
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: think has been their most valuable player this season on offense,

499
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: no question about it. It doesn't matter calling them totally

500
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: undisciplined against the Colts last week. It's starting to get

501
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: ugly because someone who comes in and just drops a

502
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: big a bomb. So the story, I guess the story

503
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: for me one of the Texans is this the Shaun

504
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: Watson situation. So, um, John McClain, who is as plugged

505
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: in as anyone or you know, he's been there forever

506
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: and he's with the Houston Chronicle and he is pretty

507
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: strong this week and says there is a trade that

508
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: is coming down between the Dolphins and the Texans for

509
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and it's happening and it could happen this week.

510
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: And then uh, there's been some pushback in various outlets,

511
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: saying no, no, no, that's not the deal. But Greg,

512
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting to me that it's claim that it's coming

513
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: from and uh, do you sense that something could happen

514
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: even by the time someone listens to this podcast. I mean,

515
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: it's interesting that he's putting it out there. Yes, but

516
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: it's almost identical wording two similar reports in training camp

517
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: before training camp, so that that yes, there was there

518
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: was There was one before training camp that it that

519
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: it could be imminent, and it also mentioned the Dolphins

520
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. I understand that the Texans and

521
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson are aligned in wanting to get him out

522
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 1: of there and get something for him now, and so

523
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: you have to believe that that's where this information is

524
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: coming from. I I kind of don't want to slam

525
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: anyone for doing it until it happens, because I don't

526
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: necessarily believe it yet. I just I guess I just

527
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: don't believe that a team will trade for a guy

528
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: who is you know, if you read all of the material,

529
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: sure looks like a sexual predator and has twenty two

530
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: counts that are up in the air. In terms of

531
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: the civil case in ten counts in a criminal case

532
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: that could go to jail. So I guess I don't

533
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: believe it until I see it. Well, And to your point,

534
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: you know Greg and a little Bertie to play him

535
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: this year. By the way, I think that's super missy.

536
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: But Greg and I a little Bertie told Greg and

537
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: I that there, yeah, there are major issues in Miami

538
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: sort of all over the place with various coaches by

539
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: that ownership in Miami wants the Shawn Watson and that's

540
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: what it's gonna take to make this happen. But I

541
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily buy that it's going to happen in the

542
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. We'll see. I don't really know that.

543
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't want to like cast judgment

544
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: on I want to see what happens. So like, if

545
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: I were a team, say the Miami Dolphins, Um, why

546
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: would I want to make this trade before I know

547
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: about the criminal situation? Like? What is is there a

548
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: rush here? I mean the Texans. I guess I could

549
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: see from their perspective, like we don't know about this

550
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: guy's future. Let's get him out of the building before

551
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: he has no value to us. If things take a

552
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: turn for Deshaun Watson, agent is as powerful as there

553
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: is the league. So I think he's part of this too. Um,

554
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: So you have that side of it. It makes sense

555
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: the Texans, they've already, they've processed it, they understand the situation.

556
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: He's never playing another down for them. Get him out

557
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: of here while you can. But if you're the Dolphins

558
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: or any other team, imagine, just imagine a scenario where

559
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: you pull the trigger on this trade, You give up

560
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: multiple first round picks, you get slaughtered from all corners rightfully. So,

561
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: by the way, if you trade for a guy with

562
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: the allegations he's facing right now, and then he don't

563
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 1: play for you because he ends up his career goes

564
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: up in flames because of his legal situation, why would

565
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: anyone trade And maybe maybe even though I like John

566
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: McClain and he's a friend of the show and he

567
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: went to Baylor, and I like Baylor because I like

568
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: my family, uh in Texas, maybe this is all this

569
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: is all b s because the Texans are so desperate

570
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: to get this thing done that they're just trying to

571
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: scare somebody up and to do a deal you think

572
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: doesn't get down because it comes from McClain. I think

573
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: that there's something very different about it. Are you selling

574
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: low at this point right now? With so much unknown

575
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: about if are the Dolphins you're maybe thinking, can I

576
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 1: get them lower now and not face any competition for him?

577
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: Than it could still give out three round first round

578
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: pictures is the most then then it would be absolutely

579
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: Everything about it to me is ludicrous. It does make

580
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: it puts a little extra I know we'll get to

581
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but it puts a little extra on tour

582
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: and Chris Greer their GM and Brian floores this week.

583
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: I feel like it makes this week next week a

584
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: little bigger in Miami's first round picks are looking good

585
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: though right now, right and sorry Cardinals fans, but you're

586
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: playing the Texans. Your defense will give them some love.

587
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: They're winning games for the Cardinals. Their defense has really

588
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: won them games, and so you would think they're gonna

589
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: blitz Davis Mills into the ground and you guys will

590
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: have fun. Why I kind of like the chances of

591
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals winning at home again eighteen point favorites, I think,

592
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: and I would take the Cardinals. They're not. It's not

593
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: that there's some huge college like spreads. This week in

594
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: our league, you have seventeen and a half. I'm looking

595
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: at the Caesar's book here, seventeen and a half for

596
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, twelve and a half bucks. Uh, let's see

597
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: there's another huge fifteen over the Lions. Jared Goff has

598
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: gotta be feeling good about the trajectory of his career.

599
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's push pause here from our sponsors. We'll

600
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: be right back. Let's move on up next. The old

601
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Zeus are some interesting picks in the top four. So

602
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: I am very happy to announce that I will be

603
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: taking a late game and it will be the Eagles

604
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: at the Raiders. Um Eagles. By the way, they continue

605
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: to be connected to Shaun Watson as well, and they've

606
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: got the picks too. I feel like Jalen Hurts. While

607
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: he hasn't been bad this season, I don't know if

608
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: he's done enough to this point to make them be like, oh,

609
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: we got our guys, so we're getting out of that messy,

610
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: muddy business of Deshaun Watson. So keep an eye in

611
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: that situation. But uh, in the here and now, I'm

612
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: just I'm not feeling good about the Eagles. I don't think.

613
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a very good team. I think,

614
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, the injuries have hurt them and especially in

615
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: their positions of strength, and it's it's showing week after week.

616
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: And I think when they play good teams, they get exposed.

617
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: And if you're going to go on the road and

618
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: play the Raiders, who are have usually been very good

619
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: in that building, I think this is going to set

620
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: up well. Now there's the Bisaccia bump? Is that still

621
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: a thing? That is the question around the Raiders. Rich

622
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: Pisacci the interim coach. Where now uh clear of the

623
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: John Gruden ness by nearly two weeks, so you would

624
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: think there's some type of combat in that organization inside

625
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: the building. Uh does the Bessaccia bump bump extend? Uh?

626
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: We shall see. But I really like the Raiders. I

627
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: don't don't you're about to lock it up, the whole

628
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: bump thing. I mean, we're asking, like people's emotions on

629
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders players to still be bubbling because Rich Pisaccia

630
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: is the coach or according to Greg's theory, John Gruden

631
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: doesn't exist as a human being anymore. So they're very

632
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: It's like a one week bump right the most part.

633
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: But but the other bump. But we've never it's truly unique.

634
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: No one's ever seen the Bassaccia bump. There's been other

635
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: bumps since it's a different bump, but the Bassaccia bump

636
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: could have more well, so mystery. We're in the middle

637
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: of that mystery. We don't. I remember when Bobby Petrino quit,

638
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: everyone was like, oh, now they're gonna really play great

639
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: to stick it to him. I was like, Nope, that

640
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: falcons tea. It's like a nine year old serious about this. Yeah,

641
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: we were already working in football. That go ahead, Mark I.

642
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: I would say that you also had a bit of

643
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: a Greg Olsen bump, who you know is in the

644
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: shadow of Gruden for so long. Like Evan Silva pointed

645
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: out the cars yards per past attempt last week, we're

646
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: twelve point six, the most of any game is a

647
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen start career. They really leaned on play

648
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: action a bunch more. They got a little bit better

649
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: along the offensive line, I thought. In terms of the

650
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: run game, Josh Jacob said that something changed last Sunny,

651
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: that lanes were appearing. I'm not sure that happens against

652
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But one other thing I like. The Eagles

653
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: offense annoys me. It's been so streaky and even you

654
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: go to that Bucks game, they were completely you know,

655
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: in a slumber for long stretch of time, and then

656
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Hurts gets going fantasy wise towards the end.

657
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: They do have Lane Johnson back, who has been out

658
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: for a personal matter. That matters a lot. That's huge.

659
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: That improves two tackles spots. Lane Johnson, who said he

660
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: was dealing with mental health issues, released it really interesting

661
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: statement on it uh and appreciated the support of the

662
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: organization as he got himself right. Is one of the

663
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: best right tackles in the league. And now you move

664
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Mylata back to left tackle replacing Dillard, so suddenly

665
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: you just you improve both tackle spots. So I think

666
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: you match up pretty well to slow down the Great

667
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: Raiders pass rush. And the one thing that kills the

668
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: Raiders is their offensive line, and I think the Eagles

669
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: could take advantage of that. So I think this is

670
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: a coin ful, But I picked the Eagles. I've been

671
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: wrong about the Eagles so many times. I'm just gonna

672
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: keep being the wrong picking them and the Raiders. This

673
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: is really a tough spot for me. I just never

674
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: and and now I'm in. I never thought Derek Carr

675
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: could be this good. I think he's so much better

676
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: than he's ever been. I have like I have him

677
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: as a top five. I have him ahead of Patrick

678
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes right now, like Chiefs fans worried about that he

679
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: is playing out of his mind because I don't think

680
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: he's gotten a ton of help either. And you just

681
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: got to look at how he's playing in four or

682
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: five of these games. It's been awesome there. Their quarterback

683
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: is so much better that it makes me a little

684
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: worried about picking the Eagles. I believe in the Bisacci bump.

685
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: I believe in the You talk about Greg Olson, the Olsen.

686
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: Oh wait a second, Olson, you come up with another one. Well,

687
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: but when you say that's like a negative thing, the

688
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: bull then hits, it's just frisky. That's like a bad

689
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: offensive lineman yanking that thing back. What is it the

690
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: it's also like a woman. The sash basics the ol

691
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm locking up the silver and wow, okay,

692
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: I like that pretty good. That it's fine, that's good,

693
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: doesn't anger me. I know, I know in my heart

694
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: that's a nice lock in a big spot. I think

695
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: it's a nice lot because I think the Raiders are

696
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna lose. I know, but you know there's some pixie

697
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: dusk on these Zeuster locks lately. I mean, you and

698
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: Mark at the same ones, and everyone like included like

699
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: a missed field goal or a going at least something

700
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: interrupt together. I had the Cowboys locked up last week,

701
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: and legitimately I was watching the game as it was

702
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: unfolding against the Patriots, being like, I locked up the Cowboys,

703
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: so something weird is going to happen in their favor

704
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: because I got sub juiced right now, I think that

705
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: the sprinkle you got that sprinkle a little hands is

706
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: hop we had the same record, but you have all

707
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: this juice, and does what am I? You've got the

708
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: Jeremy sprinkle. I'll lock up Patrick Mahomes. This whole ra

709
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: is absurd. All right, here we go. That's a good job,

710
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: by mean, a nice four o'clock game, Greg, What is

711
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: this show about? It's about me? Go ahead, Greg, So

712
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have to pick two games here

713
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: so that that's how it works. Something to keep in mind,

714
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: I jump you again. Panthers Giants. Panthers Giants. The rest

715
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: of the early games have problems. Panthers Giants interests me

716
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: if only because this Anther's team. He's going to be

717
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: part of this season, or at least we thought so,

718
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: and that this Sam Donald thing is sinking a little

719
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: bit more each week. The first play last week to

720
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: me was Sam Donald in a nutshell. There was no

721
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: pass rush pressure. He he looks to his left, his

722
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: first read is taken. When the first read is taken

723
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: away and teams are sitting on these short routes with Carolina,

724
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: they're daring him to go deep. He panics sometimes and

725
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: he just starts running around. There was no pressure on

726
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: that play. He starts running around, he runs left, he

727
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: throws right, it gets picked off, and he seemed to

728
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: be in a terrible headspace the rest of the game.

729
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: Then again, he threw some dimes in the fourth quarter.

730
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: It was kind of outrageous. The seam ball he threw

731
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: on fourth down was one of the best throws of

732
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: the year by anyone. He made another great throw on

733
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: fourth down to d J Moore on the sideline to

734
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: keep the game going. So he he has his moment,

735
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: he has his throws where you really are impressed. I

736
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: think this Giant's defense has been getting a little better

737
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: by I don't know what happened to them this year.

738
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: They gotta win this game. Carolina New York is all

739
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: banged up, and I guess I just I want to

740
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: see if Carolina is gonna be in the mix. I

741
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: was really tempted to take the Giants because I feel

742
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: like they're due, but I just can't buy them right now.

743
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna be missing Andrew Thomas, who's played well for

744
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: them at left tackle. They're gonna be missing Darius Tony,

745
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: who to me was their best player along with Daniel

746
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: Jones this year. And without those two guys, I think

747
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: Carolina does get it. And without them after a hot

748
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: start by Tony like in the first quarter before he

749
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: went out with that ankle, and he's to me one

750
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: of the biggest stories. To me, that hasn't been a

751
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: big story. I think he could have been like offensive

752
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year type stuff if he had been helped. Yeah,

753
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: it's a big loss, and I mean they were a

754
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: disaster after he left the lineup, and Daniel Jones, who

755
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: had only, you know, two turnovers in the month previous.

756
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: Totally imploded last week against the Rams. I get it,

757
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: it's the Rams, but it was just it was an

758
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: eyesore and and they're just missing too many people. And

759
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: I think Carolina basically is just sort of a nine

760
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: win team that has to try to struggle to get

761
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: through the Sam Donald experience. I mean, Matt Rule came

762
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: out after you gotta make me get him better though, right, No,

763
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: he's throwing. He's completed under fifty of his throws over

764
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: the three game losing streak, which you know that's fine.

765
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: In nine seven one completing of your throws is unheard.

766
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: I remember in London, Dan was happy to see Donald

767
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: struggling ultimately, like it was a tough day. I'm on

768
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: record on this. I don't hide from it. I don't

769
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: want Sam Donald to become an elite quarterback. I don't

770
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: need him to be embarrassed and play the way he

771
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: played for most of that game last week either, because

772
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: I know he's a good guy. Um, but yeah, this

773
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: sign then you're I think, is they made a massive mistake.

774
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: What was that? Yeah? These guys are awesome, all right, Sam,

775
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: I got you. You should know that at one point, Donald,

776
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: if you didn't watch this game, was five for eighteen

777
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: for ninety nine yards with six and a half minutes

778
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: to play in the fourth quarter. Well like that ending

779
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: wiped out everything else. We would be saying kind of

780
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: build off it. But and after that, I think Rule

781
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: was steaming over the first three and a half quarters

782
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: because the quote he had after the game was we

783
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: need to become a or it was Monday, I think

784
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: he even had time to think it over, and he's like,

785
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: we need to get back to being a running team, which,

786
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: by the way, Christian McCaffrey another Carolina failures he's on

787
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: I R right now, is uh not playing And yet

788
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: he's saying we need to be a run team. And

789
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: here's his quote. We're going to read Readefine, who we are.

790
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: That's the only way we can win. That sounds like

791
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: a guy who for the second straight year is having

792
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: second thoughts about who he got behind is the starting quarter.

793
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, not for nothing, their offense never struggled this

794
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: much last year in d v O Weight. They kind

795
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: of did right at the end and that was that

796
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: was where Teddy got Yeah, but this wasn't a plan.

797
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: By the way, what's that if it's struggled at the

798
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: end of the now, I get it, but at no

799
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: point where they best offense. And I actually want to

800
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: give him a little darn old anim rule, a little

801
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: more leeway here and evaluated after seventeen weeks, there is

802
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: a chance that's fair. He could respond, uh positively, you

803
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: know the rest It's almost like he was Donald was

804
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: got a ton of praise in the first three weeks,

805
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: and upon a closer look at the games is like,

806
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: maybe he shouldn't be getting this much love. Now he's

807
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: getting destroyed as being like the worst version of himself

808
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. And maybe that's not quite accurate either.

809
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: He's just one of those guys. He's a little bit

810
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: of both. Like he's just think Giants fans want Gettleman

811
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: out like now, so they could really use a win

812
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: just this right, And and Joe Judge is looking at

813
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 1: it like, how do I separate myself from the bath water?

814
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on Greg's snakes to you. You

815
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: know my drafting tendency as well. You knew I didn't

816
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: want to take Jets Patriots or watch it, and I don't.

817
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: It's just like only thank you for that public service announcing.

818
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the Packers uh and the football

819
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: team as my second game there. I think the Packers

820
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: are due for a blowout win. My strategy, like you

821
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: know I said, my strategy was take the Chiefs as

822
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: much as he can. My strategy the last couple of

823
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: weeks is pick against the football team as much as

824
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: you can. Uh. They're out of the bounds for locking

825
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: them up this week, but it's a defense that's now

826
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: moved landon Collins Tow. Linebacker Ron Rivera had to have

827
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: that conversation with him. I think if he wasn't guaranteed

828
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: money wouldn't be on the team anymore. Chase Young has

829
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: been good this year, but they play him so much.

830
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: He's played like fifty more snaps than any other pass

831
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: rusher and so he's first in snaps twentye and pressures.

832
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: And the Packers might get back try back soon, probably

833
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: not this week, but they got Jenkins back. I think

834
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: they're often showed a few more dimensions getting Lazard into

835
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: the mix last week. I think the defense, even though

836
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: they're short four or five starters right now, has gotten

837
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: incrementally better. They haven't had that week where you're just like, oh,

838
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: this is the Packers. I think they get that sort

839
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: of week against the football team and it heads into

840
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: a really fun Thursday Night or which should feature two

841
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: six and one team's Packers Cardinals next week. And they

842
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: have the Chiefs after that too, So you you have

843
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: to handle your business here against Washington. Uh. Yeah. I

844
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: have been hard on the Aaron Rodgers like experience for years,

845
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: just because I don't know, I can't explain. There's some

846
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: teams that just don't do it for you the way

847
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: that they might for someone else. But I love watching

848
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: this offense because of its balance and it's Aaron Jones

849
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: and a J. Dillon. They they beat up on Chicago

850
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: last week a hundred and fifty four yards on the ground,

851
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: and that team, the Bears are good. Defense were able

852
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: to get to Aaron Rodger. I think they sacked him

853
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: three times twice in the first quarter, so they were

854
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: able to create chaos. But then the ground game comes

855
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: in and totally solves it. So I I don't think

856
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: there's any real road map for Washington to keep up

857
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: with Green Bay because their offense. I like Taylor Heineke

858
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: in theory, but that thing has fallen off a clip

859
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: to some degree. They need a second receiver. They really

860
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: miss Curtis Samuel. That's been a rough free agent signing

861
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: that Logan Thomas they resigned to a massive contract. I

862
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: think he's got about a hundred yards this year. He's

863
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: not even the leading tight end on the team. He's

864
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: been hurt. He's been hurt um, but even when he's

865
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: been in the lineup, they haven't been able to get

866
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: him the ball. Uh. I also like that Aaron Rodgers

867
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: kind of take a step back this year. Reminds me

868
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of Brady and may Ending and Breeze

869
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: when their offensive line isn't playing as well and they

870
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're not quite as healthy on offense.

871
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: He's kind of game managing and just trying to like

872
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: get better as the season goes along, laying back, not

873
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: doing anything. You could read that that he's totally disengaged,

874
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't think that's what's happened. Doesn't

875
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: seem too distinct, doesn't. I mean he's he's still if

876
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: you get rid of the Week one, which is a disaster,

877
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: he's top ten or top three and major categories across

878
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: the board past yards pert tempt twelve picks, one twelve touchdowns,

879
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: one pick since week one, one seventeen passer rating so

880
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: very efficient, like not throwing like they signed Whitney Merciless.

881
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: We should mention the former Texan Uh, one of the

882
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: all time great Texans. Whitney Merciless should also. Yeah, and

883
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: they need some help up front because they're gonna be

884
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: without Preston Smith. They don't have Zadarius Smith. So they're

885
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna give Whitney Merciless a spin and just spending back

886
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: real quick to Carolina. Stephon Gilmore, Uh could play week seven.

887
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't mention that we Um. You know, here's

888
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Stephan Gilmore, the New England Patriots that

889
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: would get Um you didn't fit in with the culture

890
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: anymore because he wanted, Well, we gotta bring Jamie Collins back,

891
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: gotta free up that highly un Jamie Collins. This is

892
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna be grizzly blowout. We'll get to that. Greg Um

893
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: Washington has been a big disappointment this year. Heineke has been, yeah,

894
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit lately. The defense, you know, you bothers,

895
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: you Mark. You saw some people saying the Browns are

896
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: one of the biggest disappoints in the league. The Washington

897
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: football team, they are very lucky, very fortunate. They have

898
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: been one of the worst teams in football. And uh,

899
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: I'll show your boys scary Terry McClory. McLaurin is banged up,

900
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: bad hammy. So that's another witches on his performance this year,

901
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: he's been okay, it's been his team that Um, you're

902
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: in You're in trouble there. I'm in big trouble alright

903
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: up next the old do Sir, didn't count on Heineke

904
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: for seventeen. No, you know Greg's draft is complete. Chicago

905
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: at Tampa, a line of giants, Washington and Green Bay.

906
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: Is there a good game here? Is there a competitive

907
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: football game here? I don't know. I'd have to give

908
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: him a seat. You give Greg a c on the draft.

909
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: You know it's not a great week of games that

910
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: he agrees. He all right, I'm gonna do Jets New England. Um,

911
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: we'll see what you're saying. When when Trent Green is like, hey,

912
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: you know what you gotta do on third down? You

913
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: gotta pick up that that that first down and I've

914
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: got Tony Romo just like educated, he's not wrong. I mean,

915
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: he's accurate. Do you need that first down on third down? Uh?

916
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: Jets at New England don't like anything about this game

917
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: for the Jets. I think it's a great spot for

918
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but the Patriots also kind of hard to

919
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: figure out, Like who are the Patriots at this stage?

920
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: We know they're not a great team anymore. Uh, but

921
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a bad team either. Um, they

922
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: could be potentially you have a chance to continue to progress.

923
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: And I've been on the record with this, Greggy. I

924
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: think that mac Jones has been pretty good all season,

925
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: and I like what I'm seeing from and I love

926
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: that even in you know, after the pick six, Um,

927
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: you know that he goes right back on the field

928
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: and he connects with Born on the seventy five yard touchdown.

929
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: And and I believe I believe it was Robert sal

930
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: that said this week, a study of the Patriots game

931
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: plan shows that they're opening up the playbook little by

932
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: little for mac Jones and that that is encouraging. He's

933
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: gaining the trust of Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels, and

934
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have his way with the Jets defense. Now,

935
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: the Jets the first time these two teams played there,

936
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: playing twice here in about six weeks. Uh, the Jets

937
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: pass rush got home, so that that could change things potentially.

938
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,479
Speaker 1: But I just think that Mac Jones will make plays.

939
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna score some points, and there's no reason to

940
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: trust the Jets on offense. Well, and the last time

941
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: they played, they picked off Zach Wilson four times. Who

942
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: I look at this offense and it's like I would

943
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: just say, at this point, can we just see more

944
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: Elijah more? Can we just start to see any remnants

945
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: of the Shanahan attack that we talked about. I don't

946
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 1: think Robert sal has the pieces obviously to win it.

947
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of grade you give this

948
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: entire coaching staff after this stretch of play. It's not

949
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: a good one. Offensively, it's it's rough. I've I'm not

950
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: that confident as a Patriots fan going into this game.

951
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: They haven't shown like that they can dominate. Even that

952
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: Jets game was all about Zack Wilson imploding. Now maybe

953
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: maybe that happens again. I think this is an important

954
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: game for Sale and Wilson. They're coming off of a bide.

955
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: They've gotten two weeks to prepare for it. Show some progress.

956
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, I in three games out of what is it,

957
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: five has been the reason they lost, Like he has

958
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: not given them a chance to to win. I think

959
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: for the next what twelve games, don't be the reason

960
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: that they lost, because maybe one but not more not

961
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: be the reason. And and I want to see Sala,

962
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, come up with a game plan, like I

963
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: think this is a chance for the Jets to show

964
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: some progects. It is for for Mac Jones and the

965
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: Patriots too. They gotta let Mac cook a little bit more. Yeah,

966
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: go on aggressive. This unaggressive play calling by Bill Belichick

967
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: is driving me absolutely insane to be fourth and three

968
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: and not go for it and overtime to give the

969
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: ball back to Dall It Like, what is happening here?

970
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: You need to let them go. But I totally I'm like,

971
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Greg. I'm really nervous about this

972
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: game because it's so like these Patriots to not necessarily,

973
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, hammer home a win like they need against

974
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: the Jets. But I'm still going to lock them up

975
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: past it is a little over, No, it's seven, it's

976
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: right at seven. Oh damn, I think at this. I mean,

977
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: you play by your own set of rules though, So

978
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: that's yeah, So Zach Wilson, I was. It happens sometimes

979
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, and I feel like it's happening

980
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: more in recent years because I'm just so frustrated with

981
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: the organization that no show in London just piss me off.

982
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: It's like you you go in there and you totally

983
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: no show on offense and you don't get a big

984
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: stop on defense to try to save the day, and

985
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: it's just too much of this disappointment. I need something

986
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: to hold on too. I need something to build off.

987
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: And me one win against the Titans. Uh, that's not

988
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: gonna like make me feel good. Beat the Patriot They're

989
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: they're eminently beat a ball. And wait, but you look

990
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: at you look at Davis Mills. I know it was

991
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: in Houston, but Davis Mills had his way with the

992
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: Patriots defense. Just because he's a Jet quarterback doesn't mean

993
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: that Zack Wilson should be dead in the water because

994
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: he's going up to New England in two thousand twenty one.

995
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: So go show me something, show me that in the

996
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: bye week you got better as a team. You made adjustments. Yes,

997
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: get Denzel Mims involved, get Elijah more involved, figure out

998
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: ways to get this kid comfortable, because if he's as

999
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: good as you think he is, he should be able

1000
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: to improve as the season goes along. The fact that

1001
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: he they took that win over the Titans and then

1002
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: completely no showed in London annoys me. Do something, Jets.

1003
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: You want to see them develop young players and grow

1004
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: with the team they have, and it's not happening. I

1005
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: am slightly stunned that we're acting like New England's just

1006
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna roll over and die against the Jets. That would

1007
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: be an embarrassing loss. They went punched from all boys

1008
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: last week, right, but the last time basically they had

1009
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: their or leading the league in more of it. This

1010
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: would be a total embarrassment for Bill Belichick to lose

1011
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: to this Jets team, of course, but he's he's lost

1012
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: to the Jets before with much better team, like three times.

1013
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: My point is they played eighty nine snaps on defense

1014
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: last week. The last time everyone gave you know, every

1015
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots their flowers for winning a moral victory in

1016
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: a big primetime game against a great team. They were

1017
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: down ten points against the Texans the next week. Like

1018
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: to Erica's point about being aggressive with Mac Jones that

1019
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: the end of the game not going for fourth and

1020
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: three didn't bother me as much as the fact that

1021
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: they kneeled on the ball in nineties seconds left in

1022
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: the first half. Davis Mills and the Texans were in

1023
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: the exact same situation last week, even worse. And they're

1024
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: going for points, so you gotta let Mac open it

1025
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: up a little bit. And uh, I just don't think

1026
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 1: a two and four Patriots team, which is below average,

1027
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: can be counted on to blow out anyone. You've prepared

1028
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: yourself for a potential stunner in Foxboro, and I like it.

1029
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: I like it. All right, We're gonna take a quick

1030
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: pause here. We'll be right back, all right. They'd be

1031
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: tied at two and five. How about marks number five?

1032
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have multiple picks left, do

1033
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: we not? Oh, you're right. I will take at lant

1034
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: at Miami. It's my It's like, literally the only game

1035
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: available to me. I was eye in something else which

1036
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: is unavailable. So Atlanta at Miami. The one thing about

1037
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: the game, if you want it, I don't like you

1038
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: know that the other game is a late game. I

1039
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: like my day to become easier as it progresses, not

1040
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: more challenging. Suddenly double games at four o'clock like shoot

1041
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 1: me out of a window. Um. But Falcons at Miami

1042
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: Dolphins in total disarray. The Falcons last two weeks. You

1043
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: start to see the Arthur Smith offense. I know that

1044
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: it came against you know, the Jets defense, but they're

1045
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: they're spicy. Matt Ryan's been playing really well. And for me,

1046
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: I think this is you know, I always was interested

1047
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: to see what Arthur Smith's imprint would be on the

1048
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: on the Falcons, and it's, uh, we're talking about a

1049
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: Jets team, for instance, it's not developing. You can see

1050
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: it with Atlanta's offense. I can't wait to see what

1051
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: they do with my With the Dolphins, I guess like

1052
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: last week it looked like it was a stepping stone

1053
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: for Tua. Earlier on in the game. Uh, they lost

1054
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. And this is that you talk about the

1055
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: most disappointing team in the NFC in Washington, Miami's the

1056
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: a f c's one. There's a lot of bad juju

1057
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: with this team. Whether Flores will be there, whether Chris

1058
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: career or will be there. With the Watson stuff swirling,

1059
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: it just feels like a big game in London. They

1060
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: did not have Xavian Howard and Byron Jones, who to

1061
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: me are kind of the identity of their team, certainly

1062
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: of their defense, and so they'll be back. Uh. They

1063
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: also get healthier on offense at receiver. They get Parker

1064
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: and Preston Williams back, So those are big guys returning.

1065
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: And yet I just I don't know if they can

1066
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: beat the Falcons. Like the Falcons are a little frisky

1067
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: and offense, they get Calvin Ridley back, They're kind of

1068
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I I will think of Kyle Pitts

1069
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: a little bit differently. I think, having seen them from

1070
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: that sideline view, it's just break The way that he

1071
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: moves at his size is just outrageous and strong he

1072
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: is at the catchpoint. Like combining those two traits on

1073
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: the same field as Patterson and Ridley, Like they're they're

1074
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: kind of fun to watch. I think they could be

1075
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: a sneaky fun team the rest of the year. Offensively,

1076
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: we'll see. I still think they could find it. I

1077
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: could think they could lose this game because I'm not

1078
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: buying their defense at all. And I think this game

1079
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: does a coin flip game. Just being totally on a

1080
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: scheme does nothing for me. The Falcons don't excite me.

1081
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are depressing. Well, thankfully you don't. You don't

1082
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: remember that Cordurel Patterson U shove that he had inside.

1083
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: That was exciting, That was thrilling. I'll never forget it,

1084
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: but that was some veteran quarterbacking we saw live, like

1085
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: the way he moved in the pocket and was just

1086
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: like seeing it all. It was something like maybe he

1087
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: could do it again here, But I think that I

1088
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like he gets exposed a little

1089
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: bit and in modern day Matt Ryan against good competition.

1090
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: But luckily for him, the competition comply stopped trusting like

1091
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: a Miami defense that a couple of weeks ago I

1092
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: thought might have a way to, you know, get in

1093
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: the grill of any quarterback and like they've been too

1094
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: has to be annoyed. Falling apart too has to be

1095
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: annoyed because it's like, you know, I'm still very young.

1096
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: I was injured, I came back, I played well, and

1097
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: then this entire week and this entire organization is all

1098
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: about bringing in the sky to trade for me, and

1099
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: the reports that the Texans have zero interest in me,

1100
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: and it's just like, this is hard. This NFL life

1101
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: has not been so enjoyable. This is not what I

1102
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: signed up for. But I guess he's paid. It's missing

1103
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: three wide outs a week ago. Their offensive line is

1104
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: uh D minus disaster. I mean, it's not an easy place.

1105
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: Maybe the one team though that you don't need much

1106
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: of an offensive line against UM. Finally, before we get

1107
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: to the primetime games, the Detroit Lions at l A

1108
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: Ram Slaughter uh L A well positioned for an easy

1109
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: win here, Detroit the last winless team in football. I

1110
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: know they've been competitive a couple of weeks, but this

1111
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: doesn't set up well for them. I thought, I want

1112
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: to give Sean McVeigh a little bit a credit for

1113
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: manning up and acknowledging that he did not treat Jard

1114
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: Goff well on the way out the door. That never

1115
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: sat well with me. The way they handled the end

1116
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: of that season, the press conferences there, there's a different

1117
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: way to go about it. When Goff was a former

1118
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: number one overall pick who thrived for you for a

1119
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 1: period of time, that helped take you to a Super Bowl,

1120
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: and then you were like all cute about it, and

1121
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: then you know, buddied up with Stafford and Cobo and

1122
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: then said that never happened, so he owned up. I

1123
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: could have been better. I could have been more communicative

1124
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: with Goff, who, by the way, never heard from Sean

1125
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: McVeigh between the end of the season and getting the

1126
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: phone call he was traded. It was just like, why

1127
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: ice the guy out. I don't know, maybe there's more

1128
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: to the relationship, but I'm glad he brought it up.

1129
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and that said, if you're a Rams fan,

1130
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: I love what they did. I mean, yes, you could

1131
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: have handled that part. They benched them for John Walford.

1132
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: It should not be forgotten. You would not even they

1133
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: It was a brilliant, no doubt about it, move by

1134
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: the Rams. I'm just saying it could have been handled

1135
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: a little more class from the coach. I mean, it's

1136
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: within days of each other you have Stafford being talked

1137
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: about by McVeigh and McVeigh. You know, I asked on

1138
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: our TV show last week, what do we think McVeigh

1139
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: would say about stafford seasons so far? And he said

1140
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: he's been better than I thought, and I thought he

1141
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 1: was gonna be really good in Detroit. You've got Dan

1142
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: Campbell saying that Golf needs to step up more than

1143
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: he has. We're already at that point where it's like

1144
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: Golf could be benched at any moment. Here. I'm curious

1145
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: about this Rams defense, who really played well against the

1146
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: Giants and know as the Giants, but they just haven't

1147
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: had a dominant performance. It was really their defense that

1148
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: took control of that game. So many parts of the

1149
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: Rams are like surprisingly good other than Stafford. Darrell Henderson

1150
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: has now started sixteen games in his career. In those games,

1151
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: he's got eleven hundred and thirty nine yards and ten touchdowns.

1152
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: Good ball player, Darryl Henderson. The offensive line, which people

1153
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: really got on them. They didn't try to upgrade it

1154
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: at all this offseason, just kind of went with the

1155
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: same guys. Suddenly their offensive line looks great, like they

1156
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: test out as one of the best offensive line. And

1157
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: remember that hard knocks guy, Dante Dion like one of

1158
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: the only highlights of that season. Now he's starting. Oh

1159
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: he was like the fun I know, I'm the hard

1160
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: knocks guy. Is he the guy? The dinosaur guy? No, no, no, no,

1161
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: not that one. The one with the Chargers. He's starting now.

1162
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: He played well. Like they're getting contributions from a lot

1163
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: of people, not just like the big names. I mean,

1164
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: the Lions had sixty one yards in the first half

1165
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: last week. They didn't score until about, you know, fifty

1166
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: something minutes into the game against the Bengals. It's they

1167
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: were plucky. I found them interesting for the first couple

1168
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: of weeks because they were in garbage time showing up

1169
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: to some degree. But they to me, they are headed

1170
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: in the wrong direct. And I get and I like

1171
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: when coaches are honest to the media. Um, it makes

1172
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: our job better. But you know, Dan Campbell saying Jared

1173
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: Goff needs to step up and all that, It's like, dude,

1174
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: let's not forget what this has always been about. Jared

1175
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: gov has always been a patsy for this team, means

1176
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: to an end to get a better draft pick and

1177
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: better positioning next spring. He was always going to fail.

1178
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 1: You're surrounding him zero talent and he's a middling quarterback

1179
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,720
Speaker 1: to start, So let's ease off on the public criticism

1180
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: of a guy. Why why am I the Jared Goff?

1181
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: Mike Silver now I'm like the silver of NFL media

1182
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: current day. That's about It's like they're without their top

1183
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: two receivers. They're starting center, their left tackle might be

1184
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: coming back finally, But like they've expect is what I mean.

1185
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 1: They're leading receiver DeAndre Swift and the second is t J. Hawkins.

1186
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: Don't act like you when you traded for Jared Goffe,

1187
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: you're expecting to get like Pro Bowl level play at

1188
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: quarterback position. You never gave the guy a chance. Uh

1189
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: and and Goff knows that. And Goff's just you know,

1190
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: Golf's getting paid very well as well, So it's like,

1191
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: I can't feel too bad for him. It's gonna be

1192
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: I feel like this is awkward for everyone, especially when

1193
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: it's forty one to three, Like, well, what if paint

1194
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: is scenario. What if Golf ever won this game? It

1195
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: was one of the greatest things we've seen in a

1196
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: long Yeah, people keep throwing out that stats. He's owing

1197
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: thirteen without McVeigh. You know that the situations were pretty

1198
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: difficult terrible teams, But uh, if if he won this game,

1199
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: that's their super Bowl. They don't need to win another game.

1200
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: They don't need to do anything else. That would be.

1201
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: I think it's much more likely that Aaron Donald literally

1202
00:57:56,080 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: pulverizes Jared Goff in a pancake sack situation. He's on

1203
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: the sideline at the end of the game. That's a

1204
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: much more likely scenario. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel like it's

1205
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna end with the storybook conclusion. But we'll see, we'll see,

1206
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: and that concludes me defending Jared Goff at every turn. Apparently,

1207
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: UM Prime Time Sunday Night Football Cults at forty niners. Okay,

1208
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,959
Speaker 1: so it looks like it's gonna be Jimmy Garoppolo. Trey

1209
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: Lance has a spring knee. He did not practice on Thursday. Uh,

1210
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is practicing. He has the calf issue, so he'll

1211
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: probably be the starter. And they welcome a Cults team

1212
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: that I thought UM Sunday watching Sunday's game, they really

1213
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: looked like a team that was coming together a little bit.

1214
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: And then you think about the Monday night collapse against

1215
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens and be like, okay, well, great quarters, three

1216
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: awesome quarters in that game, four awesome quarters last week,

1217
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: and even beyond that, Mark Carson Wentz, I think Paris

1218
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: Campbell went down with an injury, which is unfortunate, but uh,

1219
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton's back and they're bombing it down field

1220
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: and he's looking like Eagles. Carson was like, Okay, put

1221
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: in Jonathan Taylor here and we're cooking a little bit. Yeah.

1222
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: They they're averaging nine more points per game in a

1223
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: hundred more yards per game over the last three weeks.

1224
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 1: Wentz has had two of his three highest single game

1225
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: passer ratings in weeks five and six, and right, if

1226
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: you look at that Ravens game, yes, the collapse was

1227
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: a mess. Love the way they responded last week, but

1228
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: the first three quarters showed you the kind of team

1229
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: that no one's done that to the Ravens, not that way.

1230
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: And like you've got DeForrest Buckner coming back into town,

1231
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little agitated after San Francisco traded him away.

1232
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard has been awesome for me. I find the Niners,

1233
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: uh kind of sucking as the most depressing storyline around.

1234
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I they genuinely raised my excitement over the season,

1235
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: and Super Bowl teams do not lose three games in

1236
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: a row the way they've lost. And I don't think

1237
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: that with Trey Lance, were there yet eat whether he

1238
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: plays or not. I mean, and Jimmy g has a

1239
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: very identifiable ceiling. Are you guys taken because this this one,

1240
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: like the Colts have just looked like a better team

1241
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: than the forty and yet the four owners have to

1242
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: win this game. You know this is Jimmy Garoppolo's last

1243
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: stand potentially a starting quarterback. You're right about that. Buckeer

1244
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: trade has not worked out very well for San Francisco.

1245
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: They drafted Javon Kinla, who hasn't been great, is injured

1246
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 1: right now. The one thing I'll throw in there before

1247
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm curious about your picks is that the Cults seem

1248
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: snake bit. Julian Blackman tours Achilles is out for the season.

1249
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Was a big time player for them uh last year,

1250
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: was struggling a little this year, but was coming on lately.

1251
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: He's gone t Y Hilton reinjured or got a new injury.

1252
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: He's out of practice with the quality. Braden Smith hasn't

1253
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: come back yet at tackle. Rock Giessen, who's the starting corner,

1254
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: has also been hurt, so that his team has been

1255
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: pretty snake and with these injuries mentioned, Paris Quentin Nelson's

1256
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: still on I R WE don't know if he's gonna

1257
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: be back. It's a lot of Campbell's on I R.

1258
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: He hurts his foot after scoring fifty one yard touchdown,

1259
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: so that it is a it's a coin flip game.

1260
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: Because of that, I am so unimpressed with the Niners

1261
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 1: to date this season, but in their bill and gets

1262
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the super banged up Cults team, I'm still picking Indie.

1263
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I think, are you are you loving this? Uh? You know,

1264
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: Shanahan maybe not doing what we thought Shanahan would do.

1265
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: You specifically, it's a big moment for him because the

1266
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,479
Speaker 1: hero worship of the guy who was always a little

1267
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: weird to me because he's done had one good season

1268
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: and it's still that case. You know what's funny, I

1269
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: just never understood it. You you've talked about him. Mark

1270
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: is a guy lording over a dynasty, literally win multiple

1271
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: super Bowls? How about multiple winning seasons? All right? But

1272
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: I've also called it the most storyline. So I'm I'm

1273
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm equally annoyed by it, but I don't I don't like,

1274
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,919
Speaker 1: I'm not like pumped about it. But it's like, yeah,

1275
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: this is like they're kind of like this and under Shanahan,

1276
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: this is who they are kind of go ahead. It's

1277
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: similar to uh, it's similar to his dad, who for

1278
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years of his career would get so

1279
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: much love as like an innovator and the hardest guy

1280
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: to coach against and all this stuff, but couldn't get

1281
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: them back to like a winning formula over again. Like

1282
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Shanahan feels like one of the most influence coaches Kyle

1283
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: that is, of the last twenty years. And yet Dan's right,

1284
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: he has one winning record that's said as a head coach,

1285
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: that's said. And that's why Trey Lance is the secret

1286
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: to all of this. If he can get healthy and

1287
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: get the trust to Shanahan, getting the lineup and and thrive, Okay,

1288
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: everything changes because I feel like he's the guy that's

1289
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: supposed to unlock Kyle Shanahan's greatness once again. It just

1290
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: hasn't played out that way. And we're starting to get

1291
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: lifetime game because these teams are both confusing to me

1292
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: but could be something like it's a big game for

1293
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the two of them, even if it's not a big

1294
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: one for better than Seattle Pittsburgh, right, that's true, or

1295
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: Seattle New Orleans for that And finally, Monday Night Football

1296
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: and now another edition of check Smith. He had a

1297
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: chance to be a hero last week. I mean he was.

1298
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: He set them up. Remember that field goal drive. It

1299
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: was like a legacy drive. Well, the bar is very late.

1300
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: He can he get them to overtime. He's got nineties

1301
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: seconds to do it, something Baker Mayfield couldn't do. Can

1302
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: he do it against this great Steelers? And then he kicked?

1303
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: They got the field goal. But that's the end of

1304
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: the hero. So all you need Greg, and let's look

1305
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: at it. So they got New Orleans this week, Seattle,

1306
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: they got Jacksonville next week, then they get to bye

1307
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: and then probably we'll see, but probably you would think

1308
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson might be back for Week ten at the Packers.

1309
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: That's all conjecture, obviously. But all you need Greg to

1310
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: save face here, um is gino to have one big

1311
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: time game just before that bye and now you're down.

1312
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't do the rams. He had the one and

1313
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: a half good drives. Uh in relief Pittsburgh not very good.

1314
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: But how about the grade you get two? You get

1315
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: to home games here and we'll start with the Saints.

1316
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Bad news though, Greg, because we like the Saints. Uh,

1317
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: certain parts of the Saints. We do like their defense.

1318
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: If you're the Saints, you feeling good because you have

1319
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a bye week, You've got a great coaching staff, so

1320
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be coached up again, getting healthy and I

1321
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: get Gino Smith. Uh, this feels like a good spot

1322
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Unfortunately, right they're the number three defense

1323
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: in terms of d v O A, so this is

1324
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: a tough spot for Geno Smith. Carson's hurt and now

1325
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: they might have lost Collins to the Seahawks. Seem like

1326
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: they found something in terms of their run blocking in

1327
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the second half of that game, and that would certainly

1328
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: help Gino out. But this is a tough Saints team

1329
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: to run against. Two Like I I don't see um

1330
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: them winning with the approach they took against the Steelers.

1331
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to be a little more aggressive offensively,

1332
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be tough because you have in Marshawn Lattimore,

1333
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: the rare guy that you think can match up pretty

1334
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: well with DK metcalf. I I know a Lattimore had

1335
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: that one or two plays against the Giants that went sideways.

1336
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Other than that, I think he's the best cornerback I've

1337
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: seen this year. I think he is having his best

1338
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: see in and he's the key to that defense. It's

1339
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: a tough matchup, you know, Quan Alexander back at practice,

1340
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Marcus Davenport. I mean, we'll see who's all. They got

1341
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of read they're getting healthy coming. So I

1342
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: I to me because personally, I'm not saying that you

1343
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: guys have to do this, but I am personally forking

1344
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. They are now well I did. I mean,

1345
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm not announcing that you can join me, but I'm

1346
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: they're out of my It's been a nice, you know, decade,

1347
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: almost a decade run with Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll.

1348
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: But I'm not even sure that Russell Wilson won't be

1349
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: the Saints starting quarterback Week one next year. Here's yere's

1350
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: we we haven't forked a team in years, an old

1351
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: segment where we would all have to agree, all four

1352
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: of us. You guys would get infuriated when I wouldn't

1353
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: fork teams sometimes that right, but it's too safe. It's

1354
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: a personal forking. I don't know what anyone. We haven't

1355
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: done the segment in a long time. You were saying

1356
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: they have no chances. You're putting you are saying you

1357
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: will donate to charity if they make them. I am

1358
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: not saying I'll donate to anyone, but that's that is

1359
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: how it's worked in the past. So I don't think, God, Mark,

1360
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: stop it. I think I think Mark. I think, um,

1361
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: that was a mistake. I think that was a mistake

1362
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: because the NFC is very top heavy. It's gonna be

1363
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: a little dirty down there in the wild card battle

1364
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: where you don't need to have a big season. Uh,

1365
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: you might even maybe even eight wins, who knows, get

1366
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: you in the playoffs nine and if you can just

1367
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: even if you lose this week and you beat Jacksonville

1368
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: next week, you get to the buy at three and five,

1369
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: and then Dangerous comes back and they heat up with Dangerous.

1370
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna it was a precise hit. You're

1371
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna be sweating. I don't know who. The girl is

1372
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: telling me to stop it, she can stop it. No,

1373
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: I think you like that. I do like it, but

1374
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:50,959
Speaker 1: but I can counter back. Oh my god, Mark, stop it.

1375
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: I think they maybe found good one. I found something

1376
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: last week and Trey Brown the rookie corner, you know,

1377
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: between him and DJ read that might good combo and

1378
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: Adams is playing a little closer to line of scrimmage. Okay,

1379
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: maybe you find something there. He certainly had a pressure

1380
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: in that. What was the interception of the thing? I

1381
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: found it? D make a play right? And this is

1382
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: a this is a quarterback, Jamis Winston that I think

1383
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Sean Payton has seen the light that he's gonna have

1384
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: to trust Jamis a little more. But Jamis make a

1385
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball, get rid of it on pff. He

1386
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: faces the highest pressure percentage of any quarterback in the NFL.

1387
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: And that is not a reflection on his offensive line.

1388
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: That is a reflection on him holding the ball and

1389
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: pat and it. He's got to get rid of it.

1390
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: He's inviting all this pressure and Sean Payton's getting driven

1391
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: a little crazy. Alvin Kamara fifteen catches on the year,

1392
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: It's not even throwing him ride that Jamis coaster. And

1393
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: then was another edition of sipping on Veno checking one

1394
01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: one big game payoff five years you like you know

1395
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: this bit goes on and on and on. Your Gino

1396
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: bit has been going on as long as almost any

1397
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: better on the show. But this will pay off with

1398
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: a big performance in primetime. Now, what if they lost

1399
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: thirty to thirty one, but he plays great, that's fine,

1400
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: That totally checks. I mean, it'll be better if he's

1401
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: the one that leads the final field goal drive or

1402
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: touchdown drive. But if he plays lights out and they

1403
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: just get beating the shootout, that counts as you being

1404
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: right about you know. I mean, yeah, Jamis Winston versus

1405
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. Um I can. I hear Chris's voice a

1406
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: lot on this show and and with this game. I

1407
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: hear his voice and it's annoyed, it's angry. Well, he's

1408
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: not the only one voicing. It's saying things to me

1409
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 1: that are not kind. I do want to point out too,

1410
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 1: because this is important for you, Greg, because I know

1411
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 1: you know everybody wants to be right on the show.

1412
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: And you've went to bat for three quarterbacks repeatedly in

1413
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,799
Speaker 1: the show, and especially this summer, many more than just three,

1414
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: but in particularly where it has been polarizing, where you've

1415
01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: been on an island, Jamis Teddy Gino, you need at

1416
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 1: least one of these guys to come through by the

1417
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: end of the season. I mean, it depends what you

1418
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: define has come through. I think we know where they

1419
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 1: are at this point in their career relatively. I think

1420
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston is going to lead this feisty Saints team

1421
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: to a fun season. It's a weird team. I'm I'm

1422
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: kind of fascinating. Yes, I think they're going to make

1423
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs, by the way, And I should say that

1424
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, by the way, is you know, twelve touchdowns,

1425
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: three interceptions. Uh, he's got the season. His numbers are

1426
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: pretty good, his baseline numbers, so that is an improvement.

1427
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:35,640
Speaker 1: But we'll see. There's a lot of football to go.

1428
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: He's had some rough ones as well. All right, before

1429
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 1: we go, The Westling brothers just rife with drama inside

1430
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: that family. And if you think this is something new,

1431
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: then you don't know the way the family is constructed.

1432
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: This is a family that when they were young, Mama Westling, Uh,

1433
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: there's so many mouths to feed. She would bring home

1434
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: a piece of raw steak and send the boys into

1435
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: the basement and throw it to the bottom of the

1436
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: stairs and say eat up. So and that was dinner.

1437
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: That was Sunday dinner. And they and there was no

1438
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: holds barret. It was clawing and biting and scratching and

1439
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: punching and kicking. Poor Larry was just a baby when

1440
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: when when some of the brothers are much taller than others,

1441
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: so you could tell kind of who we're winning those

1442
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: battles back in the exactly so. The fact that they've

1443
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,719
Speaker 1: been scuffling uh in this protect particular game, the locks challenge, uh,

1444
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 1: you know, not surprising, but it should also be known

1445
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: they're doing very well here with this week's pick is

1446
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: Nick Westling. Hey, guys, Nick here again, I just want

1447
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: to let everyone at home know, in case you already

1448
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: didn't that's four in a row for the Westling brothers.

1449
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: And just to address Larry's so called spike pick last week,

1450
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: it's a good thing we didn't let him lock up

1451
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: the Browns since they got smoked. And we were all

1452
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,839
Speaker 1: on board with taking the Jaguars over the Dolphins in London,

1453
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: so onto this week, once again we couldn't come to

1454
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 1: a consensus. We took ryone's second choice, So we're going

1455
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs in the Tennessee Titans. I

1456
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: know what you guys are thinking. The Chief's defense is

1457
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: weak and Derrick Henry is an absolute bulldozers that that's

1458
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: gonna run right through people. But reports of the Chief's

1459
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: demise have been greatly exaggerated. Patrick Mahomes is going to

1460
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: round in the Forum this week and that's why we're

1461
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: locking it up. Good day. You might want to get

1462
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: on Larry for how he chose me. And you know what,

1463
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Larry brought a lot of energy, a lot of entertainment

1464
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: to his read I think Larry right now number one

1465
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: in the Westley. Well wait a minute, though, I thought

1466
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: that was a nice, nice calm delivery affectation for the

1467
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: Western brother They should be who they are. Nick is

1468
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: usually pretty charged up. He's been doing great. I'm just

1469
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,719
Speaker 1: saying if he's going to take a shot at Larry,

1470
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Larry brought it, and so I just wanted that to

1471
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: be No, I mean during the pod a little bit,

1472
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: but I understand. Um. All right, so you guys all

1473
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,440
Speaker 1: took the chiefs. I know, I don't feel like warriorer.

1474
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 1: What what what are you settling on now? So yeah,

1475
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: I mean I thought it was seven just take the chiefs,

1476
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: So you know, no, no, I will I will take

1477
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens over the Bengals. Hey get Grave, Okay, that's yeah,

1478
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: It's just it's six six Grave Digger, Get him on here?

1479
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: What about this? What about all these jabronies locking up

1480
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: against the Titans after that performance on uh Monday night,

1481
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: it looks like you guys are trying to end your streaks.

1482
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's kind of crazy. What that was

1483
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: a victory for? You know, this grave Digger doesn't usually

1484
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: drop a hammer. And yeah, I don't feel touched by

1485
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 1: a hammer or anything. He just you just got the

1486
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: buns of burner blow. I feel nothing from the Grave

1487
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: Digger in a big spot. But this is the rare

1488
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: time when Greg and I are on the same island,

1489
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: and you know, an uneasy alliance between Cessler and Rosenthal

1490
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: too many. I always thought it was silly when we

1491
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: have the same same picks. All right. And meanwhile, um,

1492
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I got the Basochi bump, I got the oldson ol

1493
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: A got that going on? I mean, zoom is not

1494
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: something you want. Hey, come, you've got a bull counter back? Yeah,

01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: come here for him? Here. You think you got me

1496
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: figured out? Bang, you haven't. You went right through the

1497
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 1: old curtain like a third of them winding dead these

1498
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:43,879
Speaker 1: and you go bowl. You guys are out of control,

1499
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: all right, we'll be wait, can I say one thing.
