1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Chief said a power pistol.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 2: Look here, they will shift to Kelsey.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Kelsey's in a wildcat position and to.

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 3: Give it off the Worthy on the right side.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 4: Worthy sneaks out of the hands out touchdown Kansas City

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 4: on an RPO and from Travis Kelsey and Lauren nut

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 4: shoulder and ducking under the defender and the Chiefs go

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 4: up twenty.

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: Two to thirteen. That was Mitch Holtis wda F. The

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: Saints thought they were in the game for just a

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: second and the Chief said, no, thank you. This is

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: a one sided affair. Xavier Worthy rushes it in from

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: just a few yards out on the way to a

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: twenty six to thirteen victory. Welcome to NFL Daily, where

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,520

Speaker 5: in and day out.

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: It's like a full time job.

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: Probably I spend more time doing that job than my

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 5: actual job, begging on my hands and knees to just

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,640

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: NFL Daily podcast that has been incredible since its inception,

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 5: And now finally I get the chance to sit beside

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: because I think nobody else could make it tonight.

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: Now, no, that is not it. We were downstairs doing

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: the coverage on Channel five. So if you're in the UK,

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: maybe you watched this bridget does that every week. I'm

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: popping in here and there, and yeah, we got to

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: walk right upstairs. But I'm glad you brought up the

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: elephant in the room right off the bat, which is yes,

00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: like our sets. I'm not gonna defend myself. We can

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,639

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,000

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 5: reviews so that I can come back. It's I'm averaging

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 5: like one episode in this podcast studio a year, but honestly,

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 5: I've got a lot to say tonight. So I think

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 5: this is the beginning of the start of something beautiful.

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: I I agree. I think it's it's the beginning of

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: big time. Bridget condon Era on the NFL Daily. You

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: don't want to just like use all your stars right

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 3: off the bat.

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: You want like Xavi, you're worthy, baby son, steady where

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: I was going with that. You want to like sprinkle

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: it in. Thank you Eric, our producer coming in on

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: a Monday night. It does feel good to be in

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 5: the studio on a Monday night. It's what the and

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: the Saints deserve.

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: And I'm glad we started with that highlight because that drive,

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: that possession, to me was kind of this game in

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: a nutshell. For a second, Bridget, we're doing this game.

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: We stupidly picked the Saints, which is really ridiculous. OK,

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: for yourself, I mean you picked the Saints as well.

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 3: I feel ridiculous. We keep track of the records and

66
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: just what a dumb pick even for them to cover

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: was dumb, but they got it to within sixteen fourteen.

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: After sixteen thirteen, they missed the extra point. Good point.

69
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: That's why you're you're gonna be in this studio a lot.

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Colin Saunders had that insane interception that we will talk

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: about a bit, and for a second you're like, wow,

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: this game that the Saints really have been outplayed throughout.

73
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: They're in the game and I'm gonna just go through

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: like what happened. Immediately after that, they gave the ball

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: the Kareem Hunt for four yards like every Kareem Hunt

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: run felt like it was successful. Then they give it.

77
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: Then they throw it to Jujuspis fifty yards wide over.

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 5: He almost looked like he was going into the end

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: zone that one Saints defender like came out of the screen.

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: But for a second he wasn't on the camera shot.

81
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: I thought he was going straight.

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: To the end never a burner, but you know, probably

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: not as fast as he used to be. Jujus smiths Uster,

84
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: You're right, but it was just miles of green grass

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: in front of him, and Juju's like just running open

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: fifty yards like he has. Rod Mayo's turning off the TV.

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like Juju hasn't been this happy since

88
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: he was like doing his tiktoks when he was on

89
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: the Steelers and it was like the number one star

90
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: in the league, or maybe when he was winning the

91
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: Super Bowl as a really important role player for the Chiefs,

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: and who knows, maybe he will be again. And so

93
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: he ends up with seven catches for one hundred and

94
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: thirty yards, like what okay.

95
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 5: How was his first game of more than one hundred

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 5: yards since Week seven of twenty twenty two and that

97
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: was when he was with Kansas City. So he goes

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: to New England, doesn't have a single game of one

99
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: hundred yards, like, we're gonna cut you. You're not good

100
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: enough for our team, heads back to Kansas City and

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: now has a dominant game.

102
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: That the Patriots are paying him a lot of money

103
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: this year to not be on the Patriots because they

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: have offsets in the contract where the Chief's paying whatever

105
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: they're paying them, but all the remaining money that the

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: guarantees that the Patriots had, which was like seven or

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: eight million, they were like, you're so bad, we don't

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: want you on our team tonight. And this is a

109
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: shout out to Ben Solac of ESPN had the stat where, yeah,

110
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: Schuster is one hundred and thirty yards tonight is actually

111
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: more than any Patriots receiver has on the season combined.

112
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 5: That just feels like the Patriots. I don't know what

113
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: else to say. I'm sorry if you're a Patriots fan listening.

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 5: Also an interesting stat I just saw from our research

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 5: team that one hundred and thirty receiving yards the most

116
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 5: by a Chiefs receiver since Tyreek Hill was treated.

117
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: Wow. Kind of crazy, right.

118
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: I don't think that coming into this season we would

119
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: be thinking juju Smith Schuster, the number one wide receiver

120
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: for the child. Of course they've dealt has multiple right,

121
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 5: multiple injuries. He had two catches on the season before tonight.

122
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: I don't think he he's gonna suddenly right but the

123
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: fountain of youth. But he could be a role player

124
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 5: for them.

125
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: He can help and they are so good at scheming

126
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: guys open. And that was sort of my takeaway from

127
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: these sequences. It's just things were easy except in the

128
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: red zone for the Chiefs. So after that, Jujus Smith

129
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: Suster play hunt for another five yards. Like I said,

130
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: every run is successful. He looks like he has a

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: lot of Jews. There's a penalty on the play that

132
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: gets them even closer. Penalties were a big problem for

133
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: the Saints tonight, setting the Chiefs up in advantageous situations.

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: And then finally the last play of the drive and

135
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 3: it took just you know, a couple of minutes. Is

136
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: that direct snap to Kelsey where he hands it off

137
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: to Worthy And we're watching the game and we're just

138
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 3: so used to this stuff with the Chiefs that it's like, oh, yeah,

139
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: they snap it to Travis Kelce, the thirty five year

140
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: old tight end who's that quarterback, and he hands it

141
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: off to the twenty one year old guy who set

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: the record at the Combine for the fastest forty and

143
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 3: he runs in for the touchdown. It's just like, oh yeah,

144
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: that's what Andy Reid does. But it's just that's the

145
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 3: Chiefs in a nutshell, And I thought it was fitting

146
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: and great for the Chiefs that on their best night

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: of the season, which I think this was by a

148
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: good margin, they immediately responded to what the Saints are

149
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: doing and we're like, no, you're not gonna win this game.

150
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: You're not really that competitive. You're not in our league.

151
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: A good friend of mine calls it the fake good Saints.

152
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 5: I won't say that, but it did look like a

153
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 5: different These last three games have looked like a different

154
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: Saints team than the first two games. Of course, they

155
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: are dealing with so many injuries themselves. But you talk

156
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: about this offense right coming into this game, it wasn't

157
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 5: the Chiefs are four and oh, the Chiefs are gonna

158
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 5: three peet, No, it was the Chiefs are four and oh,

159
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: but they don't look good.

160
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 3: The Chiefs are four and oh, but their offense hasn't clicked.

161
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes.

162
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 5: I think they were forty five percent in the red

163
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: zone again tonight two two for six in the red zone,

164
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: or coming into this game forty five percent on the season,

165
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: and then tonight two for six. Patrick Mahomes and the

166
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: offense have you know, in the main key offensive metrics

167
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: some of the worst of the Patrick.

168
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: Mahomes error era.

169
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: But tonight he breaks that six game drought without three

170
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 5: hundred or more passing yards. So it feels like this

171
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: was maybe the game. Yes, you put all the pieces together.

172
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 5: You made a good point on Channel five show about

173
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: how it kind of felt like the old school Patriots

174
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: where Bill Belichick gets his you know, sees what weapons

175
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: he has and then figures it out and is like, Okay,

176
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 5: this is what's going to work this season. This isn't

177
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: And it felt like tonight Andy Reid and this Patrick

178
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 5: Mahomes offense finally found a way to use all of

179
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 5: the pieces that they do have. Keep in mind, so

180
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: many are hurt, right. We got the news just before

181
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: the game. Ian Rapaport first reported that Rashie Rice is

182
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: not going to return this season.

183
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: So that huge blow. Yeah, that is a big disappointment

184
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: because there just was uncertainty. They were waiting for the

185
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: swelling to go down, They had to see more, they

186
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: had to do the surgery until they knew. And it's

187
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: framed as good news that it's not going to be

188
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: a torn acl it appears that, but either way, he

189
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: still expected to miss six months not coming back. So

190
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to rely on Smith Schuster and Travis Kelcey.

191
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: You look at the guys who are getting all the yards,

192
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Michael Hardman and Kareem Hunt, and yeah, spin the dial,

193
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: but you can certainly dial it back to like the

194
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two season. I know Kareem Hunt was in

195
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: Cleveland at that point. So we're mixing different chiefs Era Eras,

196
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey with his nine for seventy and you know

197
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: his his girl in the crowd with with her, you're talking.

198
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 5: About Eras, Yeah, talking about Taylor. I love the way

199
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: that you put that in for the gal. It's in

200
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 5: my mind today because Bill Belichick. Did you talk about

201
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 5: that yet?

202
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: No, that was Monday. I don't know exactly what we

203
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: can talk about about the Bill Belichick Instagram picture wearing

204
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 3: Twitter tailor instaw it was. It was on his girlfriend's Instagram.

205
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: You follow her, they're public, No, but someone you know

206
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: copied it and put it out on Twitter, and well,

207
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: don't think the older follow now. No, even that feels creepy.

208
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: I mean, like forget dating her. But I'm glad they're happy,

209
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: and I'm mostly glad that his Taylor Swift sweatshirt had

210
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: was like chewed on or had the little rip thing

211
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: not chewed.

212
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: But you know the way you just look like the

213
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 5: image in my mind, okay, it looks like it's it's

214
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: chewed by like your I have I have a young son.

215
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 3: They chew all their sweatshirts and the way Bill Belichick's sweatshirts. Look,

216
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: that's what his sweatshirts always look like. But no, it's

217
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: because he cuts them and I wanted to see the

218
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: sleeves on it. But I'm very happy, and uh, you know,

219
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: he's out there. He's out there getting work. Just today

220
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: I saw to get off the game for like one second.

221
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: I saw that he's on the Jim Gray podcast with

222
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: a bunch of other coaching legends. He was on the

223
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: Pat mcaffee show earlier today giving like kind of vanilla analysis.

224
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes I want a little more when when he's on

225
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: the Manning Cast, at least he dives into like what

226
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: the plays are. And then he was on the Manning

227
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: Cast tonight and I got a text from my wife Emica,

228
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: who said, for the first time ever, Walker turned off

229
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: de Manning Cast and because it's so boring with Belichick

230
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: that he ruins it. I think he ruins. He ruins

231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: all the fun was the quote, which is like probably

232
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: how a lot of his players felt during his career.

233
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 5: I think that if he would just pull back the sweatshirt,

234
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: for lack of a better word, he could be really funny.

235
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 5: But I think that he's still reserved a bit because

236
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 5: who knows if he'll get back into coaching next year,

237
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 5: and I don't think he wants to completely give in

238
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: if he then has to go back and try to

239
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 5: control the locker room and they're like poking fun at

240
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 5: him for I don't know, doing a TikTok dance or something.

241
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 3: I think you've nailed it. And to build on that point,

242
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he wants to say anything that can

243
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: be used against him when he's a coach next year,

244
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: like he said something negative about a certain player and

245
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: then he goes against that player or he's coaching that player,

246
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: but more likely he's going against it. I think you're

247
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: absolutely right, because I think he does a great job

248
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: when he's in storytelling Bill Belichick mode, and he gives

249
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 3: old stories and behind the scenes stuff, and sometimes when

250
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: he's a little caustic about you know, the league or

251
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 3: you know the teams that didn't hire him, he could

252
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: tell he had a little something about the Falcons. Okay,

253
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: let's get back to this game, because you mentioned it.

254
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: Mahomes throws for over three hundred yards, does not need

255
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: to throw the ball deep in this game, And I

256
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: just think it was kind of a masterclass and a

257
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: dominant coaching performance. This is a Saints defense that, yeah,

258
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: has a couple injuries, but not nearly the amount of

259
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: injuries that they do on the offensive side of the ball.

260
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: They've been building this defense for Dennis Allen forever. I

261
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 3: picked the Saints in part because I thought their secondary

262
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 3: would be able to cover this Chiefs team. And what

263
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: do you see, Like it was just easy. It was

264
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: just a lot of like five yard throws with ten

265
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: yards of yak afterwards, and Andy Reid had it all

266
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: over Dennis Allen. Dennis Allen doesn't want to give up

267
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: big plays. Well, he gave up fifty to Smith Schuster.

268
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 3: He gave up a room long pass interference to Xavier

269
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: Worthy that was on paulsen Adebo. There could have been

270
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: another one of those called earlier in the game. And

271
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: so this is a defense that needs to carry this team.

272
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: And they're good, but they're not good enough. Like they're not.

273
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 5: But the offense wasn't helping at all. You throw the

274
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 5: first drive of the game, you throw an interception that

275
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: just took to me, totally offset the entire game because

276
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 5: their defense. Then very next drive to the Chiefs gives

277
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: up a touchdown that was the first time all season

278
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 5: they've given up a touchdown in the opening drive, and

279
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: it felt like they were playing catch up the entire time.

280
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: And then we didn't even talk about it. You talk

281
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 5: about the injuries to the offense. Derek Carr goes down

282
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: at the end of the game, and you know who knows.

283
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: I think that Dennis Allen just said in the press

284
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 5: conference that it's a right side injury and he doesn't

285
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: have updates.

286
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just.

287
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: It feels like bad news, fifteen guys on the injury

288
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 5: report coming into this game turning into even worse news.

289
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: We hope that he's okay, but.

290
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on again, and like totally

291
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: different team first two weeks of the season to the

292
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: last three weeks.

293
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked back at the show that I did

294
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: with my friends, uh from the Saints Block Party podcast.

295
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: Who are going to be back on the show. I

296
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: guess they're going to get back on before you get

297
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: you get back on, but they're probably they're not in

298
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: the studio. Well, I've already better than I've already scheduled them.

299
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 5: I literally told you for weeks that I'm wide open,

300
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: my schedule open, Greig.

301
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: You call me, I respond, call me. Beat me baby.

302
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: I you know they have you know we have like okay,

303
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: Tuesdays this day, Wednesdays this day, but we have We're

304
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: getting bridget more in the mix. But I just was

305
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: saying this as a way to.

306
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 5: Pass it because I'm the host on Channel five and

307
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: you feel threatened.

308
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: No, I love not hosting. I'm happy to like, but

309
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you feel threatened that I might become the

310
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: host of NFL Daily. I mean, now you're now you're

311
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: going too far. I'm just kidding everybody. I'm joking. We know,

312
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: we know you're joking. It's it's the thing I love

313
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: about you is your your mass. Like me, when I

314
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: move moved out here, I just kept acting like I

315
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: acted in college. People out here don't like it. And

316
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: then in New York certainly, and I just kept getting

317
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: this vibe that's like, hey, he's an , or just

318
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: like he's not very nice. And then you start to realize, like, okay,

319
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: I got you, gotta you gotta pull it back now,

320
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: all right, I'll try not everyone like show's love by

321
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: just brutally picking at like other people's weaknesses. But that's

322
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: how I think that's how I do it, and I

323
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: think it is fun. I'll try to be better. I

324
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: think you do a great job. Greg. Thank you. I've

325
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: now been here for what twelve eleven twelve years. I'm softer.

326
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: I have kids, I'm softer. I'm like, look, I was

327
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: mean enough for some reason that Derek Carr at one

328
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: point block me on Twitter and then yes on the

329
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: on the Around the NFL podcast, we got together with

330
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: David Carr and they unblocked me. So I hope he

331
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: doesn't block me off for anything we're about to say.

332
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: I I just think it was a typical Derek Carr game.

333
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: We'll get into the injury side of it in a second.

334
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,239
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up. They said bleak officially,

335
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: like the the the broadcast said that, So that was

336
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: what the team said, and that.

337
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: Makes the team said left side in ja left.

338
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that must be. It happened on his last

339
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: throw of the night, which was probably his best throw

340
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: the night, maybe the best throw the receiver should have

341
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: either quarterback. Yeah, that was Mason Tipton, which kind of

342
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: points out an issue from this Saints team. Mason Tipton

343
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: is an undrafted player and they're forcing him and they

344
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: don't really have a third receiver. Taysom Hill's not in

345
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: this lineup, and so they're trying to play a little

346
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: more three receiver. And he had a couple third down

347
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: plays where he came up short. That was a play

348
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: where Spagnola gets early pressure. The Saints offensive line was

349
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: really banged up, did not play overall very well tonight,

350
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: and so that was a problem for Derek Carr. He

351
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: contributed to it somewhat too, and he throws a dime

352
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: down the field and he gets hurt really bad. But

353
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: I think that was a really typical car sequence because

354
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: the very play before that, he backs away as if

355
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: there's a ton of pressure in his face. There's a

356
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: blitz coming. You remember this play, there's a blitz coming,

357
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: Bridget and most of the night that blitz was getting

358
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: through and Carr was just having to throw the ball

359
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: against the pressure. But that time actually did they picked

360
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: up the blitz. It held up really well. He had

361
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: a nice clean pocket, but he just started backpedaling and

362
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: throwing it as if someone was right in his face,

363
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: and that throw was there. I think that throw was

364
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: down to a lavee and it was just a bad throw,

365
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 3: and that was kind of the experience of Derek Carr

366
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: tonight and Derek Carr throughout his career. Like you see

367
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: enough in each game that is really high level quarterbacking,

368
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: and then you see enough that makes you think, I

369
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: can't trust this guy on a week to week basis.

370
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 5: I think that I don't want to like talk paud

371
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 5: about Derek Carr because I think that he's a better

372
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 5: quarterback than a lot of people think he is. I

373
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 5: think the issue is his offensive line is so beat

374
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 5: up right now, and especially the center position right like

375
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: the cadence you get from working with your and to

376
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: have two or three different centers since the beginning of

377
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: the season, I think that adds to it. And that throw,

378
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 5: Like you said, he thought the pressure was coming on

379
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: him and he wasn't, But that to me says that

380
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 5: he's just not comfortable with that offensive line right now.

381
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the pressure rate was extremely high in this game. Up.

382
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: I'm looking for a tweet I shared earlier from Catherine

383
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: Terrell from ESPN just to summarize the left tackle. The

384
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: rookie Fuaga is playing through an injury. There is a

385
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: backup at left guard. One left guard, the other left

386
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 3: guard shifted to center to start this game, Lucas Patrick.

387
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: He got hurt at one point, actually after she even

388
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: tweeted this, and was in and out of the game.

389
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 3: A backup right guard who is replacing Caesar Ruiz, who

390
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 3: is getting paid a lot, and then I'm at right tackle.

391
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: Is everyone's favorite punching bag over the last couple of years,

392
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: Trevor Penning, and so like, that's your offensive line.

393
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 5: And also, okay, let's talk about Chris for a second.

394
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: He had and did you see was it his brother

395
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 5: the tweet? Did you see the tweet that no, his

396
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 5: brother put out. I'll find it in a second. He

397
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: had two receptions for ten yards. He was only targeted

398
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 5: four times. That to me is a question mark. And

399
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 5: for a while he had only been targeting targeted once.

400
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: I think those next three, Yeah, Jay Cayner came in

401
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 5: and threw at least one to him. He came into

402
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 5: the game, I think banged up.

403
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: There. There was a reporter that that saw I'm working

404
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 3: on something. I don't think he's one hundred percent healthy,

405
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: So I think he's out there gutting through it and

406
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: isn't really Chris o'lovey, But that again points out how

407
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: thin they are that wide receiver.

408
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 5: And then without Taysom Hill too, right, like he's been

409
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: missing since Week three.

410
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: He came back in briefly helped a lot. Yeah, the

411
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: on off splits for Taysom Hill are crazy that when

412
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: he's been on the field, I think for eighteen drives

413
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: they scored eleven touchdowns and when they've been you know,

414
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill's not on the off the field, it's really

415
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: the running game that he impacts the most. He runs

416
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: the ball great, but if you looked at what Kamara

417
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 3: did tonight, you saw that first run that Kamara had,

418
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: Like Kamara's running well, yeah, but he ended up eleven

419
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: for twenty Yeah, how many yards did you get on

420
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: that run?

421
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 5: Because he only finished with twenty six and I yeah,

422
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 5: like that first run was majority of those yards, right.

423
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: He could have gone for like a negative four on

424
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: that and he ends up getting positive yards. He had

425
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: a nine yard run. But they just couldn't run the ball.

426
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: And this Saints team isn't going to make sense if

427
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: they can't run the ball. So all the Clinton Kubiak

428
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 3: love that we were giving and yeah, I didn't finish

429
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 3: my thought earlier but thinking back to when we had

430
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: the Saints Twitter the block Party podcast on, it almost

431
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: seems like it was like this moment in time, like

432
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: if you were a Saints fan listening to that would

433
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: be like a horror movie. Everyone was so happy. We

434
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: were talking super Bowl, best offensive line in the league,

435
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: and yes, they will be back with me. You're going

436
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 3: to be back on this show too. It's not a competition.

437
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: Bridget is very competitive. He's like when someone else is on,

438
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: She's like, why why is he on it? Why is

439
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: she on? My boss is going to listen to this

440
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: and be like, hey, we need to talk. No, I'm kidding.

441
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: I have enough sense that it's okay. You can bring others.

442
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: She's like Weis have you seen have you seen his

443
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: gray hair? Like, let like, let's let's put him out

444
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: to pasture. I'm like, whoa, that's weird. You're getting ages

445
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: about Steve Weis's Bridget that that's.

446
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 5: See if I love you, I would never ever, ever

447
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: dare say.

448
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: Anything like that. Before we uh take a quick break.

449
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: Let's just hit us a couple. Can I hit one

450
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: thing that we haven't please? Kareem hunt?

451
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 5: Like we talk about Andy Reid and what he does

452
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 5: for this offense. We talk about Juju Schuster, we talk

453
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: about Cream Hunt. Kareem Hunt had just one game with

454
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 5: one hundred or more rushing yards in his five seasons

455
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 5: with the Browns. He had one hundred and two tonight.

456
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 5: That is kind of ridiculous, isn't that?

457
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 3: Like?

458
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 5: When I saw that stat, I was like, that is

459
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 5: massive what Andy Reid is doing with these players who

460
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: were backups, were cut from their teams, like didn't have

461
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: a place in the NFL.

462
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Browns fans have to be watching this and

463
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: wondering like where was this guy? Because towards the end

464
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: of his Browns career he just looked like a guy

465
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: who had run really hard for a really long time

466
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: and was banged up. And again it's just.

467
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: One game, but I mean, to be able to get

468
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 5: that much out of these players, that says a lot

469
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 5: about a Patrick Mahomes. That says a lot about Andy

470
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 5: Reid and Travis Kelcey. We haven't really talked about him.

471
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 5: He had a career high nine receptions. Still hasn't even

472
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 5: found he's high, yes, season high. Yeah, sorry, he still

473
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 5: hasn't even found the end zone this season.

474
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: No, but seventy yards. They did show him leaving the field.

475
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone else saw that, And maybe

476
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: he just got that by week Yeah, girls there, his

477
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: girlfriend's there. Maybe just wanted to get off the field quickly.

478
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: But while everyone is like hugging in everything, he's already

479
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: in the walk to the locker room and looking every

480
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: bit like a guy who you know, just participated in

481
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: forty different car crashes, which is what playing football is.

482
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: Let's actually listen to the Travis Kelcey moment of the night.

483
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: It was a reception, but he didn't end the play

484
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: with the ball in his hands.

485
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: In twenty two, at the forty four yard line of

486
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: the Saints leitting ten to seven again, a four man

487
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: rush quick pass, Kelsey at the forty, coming all the way.

488
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: Across the field, flips it off. He goes to pay Ryn.

489
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: He's at the twenty five. He's close to our first down.

490
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: Kelsey came right the left all the way across the

491
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: field and almost was tackled, and then he shovels.

492
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: It underneath the Sama JP run on an old hooking ladder.

493
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean it's not a hooking ladder in a way,

494
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: because I don't think it could have possibly been planned.

495
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: By the time you listen to this, the news will

496
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: be out of date, whether whether they say it or not.

497
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 5: Andy Reid was asked about this postgame, and he said

498
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 5: that they practiced Travis Kelcey's pitches in practice, but I

499
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: don't think it was drawn up in the huddle now.

500
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 5: It's something they just practiced. So he looked at Smaji

501
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 5: and is like, you know what's coming on right now?

502
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 5: And as you mentioned again on the show earlier, like

503
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 5: if you're a player.

504
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: On this team, you gotta be ready.

505
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 5: Even if you're thinking you're running down the field, you

506
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 5: gotta be ready to cash that ball if he's looking

507
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 5: at you.

508
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: That was awesome, And yes, so I guess I think

509
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 3: they've practiced that almost as part of the offense. This

510
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 3: is something that could happen with Kelsey gets the ball,

511
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: but it's not part of that specific play. And I

512
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: know that because p Ryan for a second gets in

513
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: the motion like he is going to run to block

514
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: for Kelsey, and then he kind of looks up, he

515
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: sees Kelsey and he realizes that's not the move. There. Yeah,

516
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: they had another play, another trick play that did not

517
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 3: work out. Earlier Alantae Taylor was all over. I love

518
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: Alonte Taylor. There are some positives here for the Saints,

519
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: like Marshall Lattimore and Alonta Taylor are playing really well,

520
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: and he got Carson Steele to fumble on another play.

521
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: They are not going to give Carson Steel the ball

522
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 3: much more because he has been a part of a

523
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: lot of negative plays. I do want to say before

524
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: we move on from the recap that Mahomes's ability to

525
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: scramble is somehow getting better. As on his footwork.

526
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 5: Maybe he's going to some of the practices for Swift's

527
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 5: dance team, because the way that he is stepping, I

528
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 5: don't know what He's just trying to get his ten

529
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 5: thousand steps on his Apple watch or what some.

530
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: Of those Some of that footwork was impressive. Okay, So

531
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: there was the play in the inside the ten yard

532
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: line where he just spun around where he yeah, he

533
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 3: pivoted with off his left foot because he saw a

534
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 3: defender then there and just completely spun and then throw

535
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 3: to a pretty open receiver in the end zone. At

536
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: this point, I was just thinking, like, is he just

537
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: doing this stuff because he wants to feel a little alive?

538
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: You know, like he's just like a little board, like

539
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: I'm here week five, like I've done this all before,

540
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: I got to do more stuff. That's what it felt

541
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: like to me. Then there's another play where the Saints

542
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: have an absolutely crazy defensive formation where they have nine

543
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: or eight guys lined up on the line of scrimmage,

544
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: all standing up, and a bunch of them drop out,

545
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: like just total Dennis Allen's in the lab like cooking

546
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 3: up this great stuff and it works. They confuse Mahomes.

547
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 3: He's like, what's going on here? He freezes and then

548
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 3: he's like, oh, I guess I'll just outrun every He

549
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: went to the corner for seven yards, get the first

550
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: down and completely ruin your play. And then that sets

551
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: up what was one of the better scrambles of Mahomes' career.

552
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: Let's listen to that.

553
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: Perron is in it running back. Nelson's had a very

554
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: productive night. He comes in chipped out motion. Now Mahomes

555
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: he's got time moving around, shifting the feet, and now

556
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: he's in trouble and he's gonna.

557
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: Tell about everybody talks by it. I've got there. He's

558
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 3: stretching out the football on the near side.

559
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Shades of the Houston game in the AFC Championship of

560
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen.

561
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: I mean that is okay. People are getting annoyed. I

562
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: think of just like Mahomes and Chiefs. People are getting

563
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: tired of it. It's like how they were with the Patriots. Right,

564
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: yes to Mahomes. As long as he's doing that and

565
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: giving us these fun plays, I'm with it. What I

566
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: don't like is the boring Chiefs, which is what they

567
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 3: were for good chunks of last year and for much

568
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 3: of the first month. Offensively, this was a much better performance.

569
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: They finished with twenty eight first downs four hundred and

570
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 3: sixty yards. That is an old Chiefs score line five

571
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: and zero. And they head into their by just feeling

572
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: great about life. They have the forty nine ers after

573
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: the bye, and they bullied the Saints. They were stronger

574
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 3: than them up front on both sides of the ball.

575
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: The Saints want to be bullies, but they got bullied.

576
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: Before we move on though, I keep saying that, but

577
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: I'm just having so much fun. Like Eric told me

578
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: the time in my ear of how long we've gone,

579
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: It's been a while already.

580
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 5: Really, and it's just like I feel like it's been

581
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 5: five minutes. We're just never getting out of this chair.

582
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: We're we're having a good time, and that's a credit

583
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: to you. Maybe maybe we got to be in here

584
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 3: every Monday night. Now, Nick shook his feeling that he's saying, like,

585
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 3: what's happening here? I wanted to just give some love

586
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: to Colin sand Saunders. This guy. They're okay, where do

587
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: we even begin.

588
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 5: Let's begin on the broadcast how they were talking about him,

589
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 5: and they were saying that his brother leave. His name

590
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 5: is Cameron was there. His brother is a backup dancer

591
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 5: for Taylor Swift. Okay, and so they were asking his brother,

592
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 5: who are you rooting for? Are you rooting for your

593
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 5: brother who is a player on the Saints team, or

594
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 5: are you rooting for your boss Taylor Swift whose boyfriend

595
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: plays for the Chiefs. As they're telling this story, he

596
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 5: gets an interception. The big boy takes it thirty six yards.

597
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 5: One of my favorite plays the night.

598
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: It was outstanding and it was a play worthy of

599
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 3: our best announcer in the game, Kevin Harlan. Take it away.

600
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: Here we go shucking down in gold, the homes and

601
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: the gun, the two in New Orleans. P Ryan in

602
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: motion there's a shotgun, snap the big cord off the

603
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: cook forth the goal whil it's deflected and it's intercepted

604
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: on the play by Saunders. He runs the big Man

605
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: the ten. Here's Sode line twenty. I'm the nether side

606
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: line thirty. Got a blocking from behind. The former chief

607
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: is taken down the Saints big man got it on

608
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: the rokachhet at the goal line on a pass intended

609
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: for Smith Schuster.

610
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: A thick pick pick. Forget the thick six. It's the

611
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: thick pick. One of the moments of the year. Throw

612
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: the next gen stats on this. I just saw this

613
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: screen thick six. I love that phrase.

614
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: He reached the top speed of fifteen point seven nine

615
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: miles per hour. That is the third fastest speed by

616
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 5: a ballcarrier who weighs over three hundred.

617
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: And twenty pounds.

618
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 5: I don't win twenty pounds, and I don't think I

619
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 5: could get up to fifteen.

620
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: No, you definitely can't. I don't think. I mean I

621
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: couldn't either, right, I get I would have It's incredible.

622
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: I would have to do the math. But this is

623
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 3: was he a running back in high school? He was

624
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: It was nearby in Missouri, they mentioned, and yeah, that

625
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: essentially gave the Saints second life, gave us some entertainment

626
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: on what was otherwise starting to feel just like a

627
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: slow death march of this like a one sided game,

628
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: and that they were play is a play I'm gonna

629
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: remember all sees it and sometimes that's what these games

630
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 3: are about. We learned something. We'll find out if Derek

631
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Carr is healthy enough to play next week, which is

632
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: really important. We'll get more reporting on that. The Chiefs

633
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: look better than ever. But ultimately from this game like

634
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: that just gave us a shot of joy in the studio.

635
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 3: That in one of the best interceptions, and you just

636
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: never know when that play is gonna happen. Thank you

663
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: just Delilah.

664
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 5: Like I remember this is a very only Boston people

665
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 5: will remember this. Like going to the Cape on the weekend,

666
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 5: driving back Sunday night, it's late and like Delilah is

667
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: on the radio and she's like, you know, like she

668
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 5: would play jewel and like you know, slow love songs

669
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 5: and you could call into Delilah what.

670
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: Do you want to Yeah, I was thinking more. I

671
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: thought you were referring to more like of a Miss

672
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: Cleo vibe. That music, though, reminds me more of a

673
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: seventies or sixties game show, a seventies like match game

674
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: that is coming back from break. You don't even know

675
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 3: what match game is. But I was once like a

676
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: production no, a production assistant on the program Most Outrageous

677
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: Game Show Moments three I Believe and four, hosted by

678
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: Chuck Woolvery, where I just watched game shows all day long.

679
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: That's now you're the host. That's what everyone says that

680
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: that's a cool job to just watch old like password

681
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: episodes all day long. But after like a week or so,

682
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: after like a couple months of it, it gets pretty old,

683
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: you kind of go a little crazy. All right, let's

684
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: do some news, Eric, all right, So I mentioned the

685
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice news from Ian Rappaport. He will I'll not

686
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: be back this season, and we're looking to find out

687
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: I did at Sometimes, you know, if you're connected with rapport,

688
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's up with Pachecko? I never heard any

689
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: backup on pachecko Ian's like I had reported it six

690
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: to eight weeks and I said yes, but Andy Reid

691
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: said after that that they're not sure if he's going

692
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 3: to come back this season. So if you see an

693
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: Ian Rappaport report in the next day or two about Pachecko,

694
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: give me the credit that I was like, go go

695
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: find that out, like fantasy owners, That's why I'm asking. Yeah,

696
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: they want to know. But the Rashi Rice news uh

697
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: is big for the Chiefs injury wise this week, Nico Collins,

698
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: we found out from the Texans coach Tomko Ryans is

699
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: going to be weak to week with a hamstring injury.

700
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: He suffered that injury while scoring a touchdown.

701
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, he leads the league with five hundred and sixty

702
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 5: seven receiving yards. You know, coach did say he's in

703
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 5: good spirits, but that's a blow, and it felt like

704
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,239
Speaker 5: he and c. J. Stroud were finally getting their you know,

705
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 5: stride together, working together, going to give more time, I

706
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: guess to Stefan Diggs, tankdal Dell, and Dalton Schultz. But

707
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 5: without him on the field Sunday after he got hurt,

708
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 5: they were limited to just nine points and those came

709
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 5: from three field goals. So it'll be interesting to see

710
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 5: how this offense adjusts if he's not out there on

711
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 5: the field.

712
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a big issue for them because

713
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: I think they've been too reliant on CJ. Stroud and

714
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 3: Nico Collins just making magic. I kind of don't think

715
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: their system is working incredibly well because I look at

716
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 3: c J. Stroud and I'll save it. I'll save it

717
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 3: for future shows. This is not the CG. Strat Show.

718
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: But I think he and Nico Collins were playing as

719
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 3: well as any quarterback wide receiver combination in the league,

720
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: and yet the total numbers of the team aren't amazing,

721
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: So that's a concern for them. I am can curious

722
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: what you think about what's going on in New England.

723
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: Now we got I'm glad we're talking about it. It's

724
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: in the name of the show. It's NFL Daily, so

725
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: I have a Unfortunately, like this show, this dudes will

726
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 3: get updated. I think we're gonna hear from Drake May.

727
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 3: I think he is going to be the quarterback, but

728
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: as we're taping this, we don't know.

729
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 5: Well, they won't to announce it until quarterbacks don't talk

730
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 5: till Wednesday, so it won't be outdated tomorrow.

731
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: Might might be might not be outdated soon. You never

732
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: know if a report comes out. But just the way

733
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 3: drowd Mayo sounded not fully backing to Kobe Brissett. Usually

734
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 3: when you do that on a Monday, a change half coming,

735
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 3: do you want you want it to happen? That's more okay.

736
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: So here's my question.

737
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 5: My question is what's different now than the beginning of

738
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 5: the season, Because we knew this was going to happen, right, Like, yes,

739
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 5: they found a way to win Week one against the

740
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 5: Bengals and everyone kind of thought, oh my god, there's

741
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 5: hope for this team. Maybe they're better than we thought.

742
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 5: This offensive line has been a struggle throughout the entire

743
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 5: training camp. They were switching guys in and out. They

744
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 5: just didn't have I mean, even going back to last season,

745
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 5: this offensive line, the lack of weapons, the lack of receivers,

746
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 5: the lack of tight ends. Like we knew that this

747
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 5: Patriots team was going to be an issue. So and yes,

748
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett made some throws we talked about earlier that

749
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 5: could have been better. But what is the point. This

750
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 5: is what I don't get And maybe you can answer me.

751
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. I just

752
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 5: am trying to understand what is the point of putting

753
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 5: Drake May in there now?

754
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: I think because you want to see what he can do,

755
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: You want to see how the offense is.

756
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 5: So okay, I understand what you're saying. So you you

757
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 5: put him in there, he gets destroyed. Now you have

758
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 5: the fan base calling for him, saying.

759
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: Get this guy out of there, who had drown Mayo. No, no, no,

760
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: calling for may now.

761
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 5: As they did with Bailey Zappi and Mac Brown a

762
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 5: little different.

763
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: Did I just say Mac Brown, I would like to

764
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: see him play quarterback. He could have maybe played quarterback

765
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: better than Mac Jones did last year. I think the

766
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: difference is their coaches and they they didn't think it

767
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 3: was going to be this bad. They thought they could

768
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 3: I disagree. I think they were hopeful that it would

769
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: go by this.

770
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, maybe better than this. And yes, you lose

771
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 5: to a Dolphins team without their quarterback to a TONGUEO

772
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 5: vii loa. You should have won that game, one hundred percent.

773
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 5: Should have won that game. Poor clock management row at

774
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 5: the end of the game. I get that, But what

775
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 5: is going to happen if Drake may goes in there

776
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 5: get socked four or five times a game, the Patriots

777
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 5: or whatever.

778
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 3: It's football like. So I think you asked the right

779
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 3: question at the beginning. What's different now between now and

780
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: week one? I think that's a totally fair question. They

781
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: were hopeful it would be better. They've actually what's different

782
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 3: it is actually the offensive line is even worse. Now

783
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 3: they've lost two to three left back. You're going to

784
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: put it in in their center, so that that's a

785
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: point against it. They thought, we sign Jakobe Brissett, we

786
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: want to see how he can do. I actually think

787
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: they find value in the five weeks that Drake May

788
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 3: has just had to see see. I just greek to

789
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: weak process and everything like that. But I don't think

790
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: they wanted to play him. But here's the difference. I

791
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: think the locker room would want to play him because

792
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: they see him in practice every day and they're like,

793
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: this dude is better. And everyone acts with quarterbacks like,

794
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, what if he gets destroyed? And I.

795
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 5: Understand it's the NFL, and you need to like you're

796
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 5: gonna get destroyed and you're gonna injury.

797
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 3: Is gonna happen in practice? It can even happen. They're

798
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 3: throwing out centers that just that just joined the team

799
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: ten days ago to go out there and make the calls?

800
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 3: Like what about? I under saying that I'm more just

801
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 3: this is what happens. If you didn't put.

802
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 5: Mac Jones out there as early as you did and

803
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 5: you got a you got an offensive line, you got weapons,

804
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 5: would people have been calling like Boston is such a

805
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 5: different sports market.

806
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 3: You know than even Lay. But they're dumb and you can.

807
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 5: But I understand, But I think that I wonder how

808
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 5: much of this is outside noise for drawd Mayo. How

809
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 5: much is he seeing Caleb Williams, how much is he

810
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 5: seeing Jayden Daniels And how much is he thinking Drake

811
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: making going to the Patriots system and do the same

812
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 5: thing Chicago And.

813
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 3: Who did I say?

814
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 5: Jayden Daniels and Washington are two very different places than

815
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 5: New England right now. They have two very different types

816
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 5: of players on their own.

817
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No one is arguing that Drake may is

818
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 3: set up for success. He is. I Like I said,

819
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 3: a lot of quarterbacks play in really brutal situation.

820
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 5: So you think Drake ma can go out there and

821
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 5: this Patriots team can contend for the AFC East, of

822
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 5: course not.

823
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even think he's gonna play that well.

824
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean in the circuit, why to kill the kids confidence.

825
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: That's where I do disagree. I think, if you're gonna

826
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: be a great NFL player, you'll you'll withstand it. Like,

827
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: he's not gonna play worse than Jared Goff played as

828
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: a rookie. He's not gonna play worse than Eli Manning

829
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: played as a rookie. He's not gonna play worse than

830
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 3: Alex Smith played as a rookie. And the thing, what

831
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 3: about Trevor Lawrence. He's not gonna I don't think he's

832
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: gonna play worse than Trevor Awrence played as a rookie.

833
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: But if he did, all of those quarterbacks came back

834
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 3: and had the careers that they were gonna have. Anyways,

835
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 3: it's fine. Drake May is so much more talented than

836
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett. Now, I have very little faith that this

837
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 3: offensive staff is gonna have any solutions, any cohesion. They

838
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: really look like a coaching staff of leftovers, which it

839
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 3: is harsh, but it's kind of what they were. They

840
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 3: were all these guys on the other staffs that the

841
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: other teams didn't want to hire, like McAdoo is still

842
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: kicking around like Alex van Pelt. He's the one guy

843
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: in that Stefanski and McVeigh and Shanahan coaching tree. That's like,

844
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 3: no one was giving him those jobs. No one was

845
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: giving these opportunities. And it's not going well. And maybe

846
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 3: Drake Macon save them all. He probably can't, but he

847
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 3: is the most important person in the franchise and he's

848
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 3: the best quarterback on the team. Let's just see him

849
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 3: play some football, like, let's get some yards. And if

850
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 3: it goes poorly, Like, what's that it's going poorly, it's

851
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: not gonna go any worse. Well, what's gonna happen? They

852
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: go from like thirtieth to thirty First, I'll stop talking.

853
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: People are gonna say, who cares about the people? You

854
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 3: can't worry about the boss.

855
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 5: I'm not worrying about the media. Yeah, but I think

856
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 5: a young player that has to deal with media is

857
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 5: I don't know. Let's let's just see it happen and

858
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 5: then we can talk in ten weeks and figure out

859
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 5: who who was right?

860
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: Okay, we will like if he if he really struggled

861
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: for the most part and only showed little signs of him. Well.

862
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 3: I think he wasn't. He came along a little slowly.

863
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 3: I think he came on better at the end where

864
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: people thought he was playing better. I think there is

865
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: frustration from the wide receivers to on this team that,

866
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: like Jacoby's just not throwing them the ball. I don't

867
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 3: think it's Jacoby Brissette's fault, but why not you took

868
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 3: this kid third overall? Quickly, We're going to go through

869
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: a bunch of injuries. I'm just gonna roll through these, uh,

870
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: and then we'll get onto our players of the week.

871
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 3: Dax Hill is believed to have a torn acl actually,

872
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 3: that was confirmed by his coach, Zach Zach Taylor. He's

873
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: the cornerback of the Bengals. Really disappointing for him. He

874
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: was having a good season for them at cornerback. David

875
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: and Joku hurt himself again. It's a new injury. It's

876
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 3: a knee injury. He's getting an MRI on that. That's disappointing.

877
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 3: A couple offensive linemen who were playing well or out

878
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 3: for the season. The Cardinals their guard Will Hernandez, the

879
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: Panthers their center Austin Corbett. Not like flashy teams, but

880
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 3: actually those have been two of the better offensive lines

881
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: in the league. So that's big news for those teams.

882
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: Those are the strength of those teams. Taylor Moten, the

883
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 3: Panthers right tackle, is also going to be out this week.

884
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: And then the Cowboys pass rusher Marshawn Nelan has a

885
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 3: torn meniscus is probably going to be out a month.

886
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: Brutal another player at that position for Dallas. That is

887
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 3: really scary. Before we move on to our final segment,

888
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: I did just want to mention Hurricane Milton, which is

889
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 3: bearing down on Tampa. The Buccaneers, just to kind of

890
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: connect it with football, are evacuating Tampa. Like a lot

891
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 3: of the city, there's a mandatory evacuations in a lot

892
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 3: of Tampa. The Buccaneers are going to New Orleans actually

893
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: early in this week. They play the Saints on Sunday,

894
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: and so they will be staying in New Orleans, a

895
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: place very familiar with scary hurricanes. And this is the

896
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 3: reports on this are just I don't know, it.

897
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 5: Comes after if they just dealt with a hurricane Hurracleen

898
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 5: just a couple of weeks ago.

899
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean this is brutal.

900
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 5: You never want to see any city go through this,

901
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 5: especially a city that just dealt with this a couple

902
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 5: of weeks ago. Sarah Walsh, our very own reporter, dealt

903
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 5: with some scary, scary stuff a couple of weeks ago,

904
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 5: and is getting ready to evacuate once again. And you know,

905
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 5: our thoughts and prayers go out to everybody in the

906
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 5: Tampa area. I know, like coming from a news background,

907
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 5: I had to cover a lot of hurricanes, and I

908
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 5: know how scary really it is, especially because you don't know,

909
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 5: and you know, you don't know if it's going to

910
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 5: be as bad as they say they are.

911
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 3: You don't know whether you should stay and risk it.

912
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 5: And you know, of course the word is to evacuate

913
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 5: if you're in an evacuation area, because this looks bad,

914
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 5: it looks scary. You know, this is a football podcast,

915
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 5: and we hope that if you're in those areas, just

916
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 5: know that we're here whatever we can do to help,

917
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 5: and hopefully listening to us fight about football can get

918
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 5: your mind out away from it. But that doesn't dismiss

919
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 5: how severe and serious of an issue is.

920
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: That it's happening. Yeah, it seems like a bad one

921
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 3: that kind of snuck up in terms of the severity

922
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: and the strength of the hurricane and how much it's

923
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: grown in the last few days. And so yeah, our

924
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: thoughts are with everyone in the Gulf Coast region. We're

925
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 3: gonna wrap up the show here. As we do, I

926
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 3: give you a little bit of homework, Bridget Did you

927
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 3: do it? Yeah? Are you kidding me?

928
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 4: Greg?

929
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: You never? I wouldn't miss that mess up this opportunity.

930
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 3: Some people say they did the homework and then they freestyle,

931
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 3: and that's fine as long as you're good at freestyling.

932
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: It's our Captain Morgan Players of the Week time for

933
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 3: Captain's Corner. What if we have the same resent. I

934
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 3: haven't even talked about this by Captain Morgan. I guess

935
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: it's possible. I will let you go first, then, ladies first,

936
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 3: our first time guest, longtime listener. No, you've probably never

937
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: listened to this show. You want it? You're honking about

938
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 3: wanting to come on?

939
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 5: What?

940
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 3: I will say something.

941
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 5: Before I got this job at the NFL, it was

942
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, right after the Super Bowl, right when

943
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 5: Chris passed, and I used to listen to this podcast

944
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 5: and I remember I was on a walk in Washington,

945
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 5: d C. Twenty twenty one right after the Super Bowl,

946
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 5: and it was the episode where you guys were all

947
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 5: like talking about how much Chris meant to you and stuff,

948
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 5: and that is the like one episode that's stuck in

949
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 5: my mind, and I remember I was like, if I

950
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 5: ever work at the NFL, like I got to meet

951
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 5: those guys. They sound like they have such a great

952
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 5: connection because you know sometimes when you listen to a

953
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 5: podcast and it's like these two people are talking and

954
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 5: nobody's listening, like like they're not listening to each other,

955
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 5: they're not collaborating together, They're just people want to hear

956
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 5: themselves talk. When I used to listen to Around the NFL,

957
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 5: it felt like you were just at the table with

958
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: your friends talking football. And yeah, no, I think it's

959
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 5: one of my favorite shows to listen to. NFL Daily

960
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 5: has been incredible. You've done an awesome job. I know,

961
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 5: hosting is okay, okay, forte, okay, fine, host It isn't

962
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 5: my forte. I mean, like, it's not what you usually do.

963
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 3: It's not what I usually do. But it's been a

964
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 3: lot of fun. Now I appreciate everything you said about

965
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: right on that note, you're my player of the week. No,

966
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: I appreciate everything. Yeah that you said there, they're yeah,

967
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 3: I think of because that was the Tampa super Bowl.

968
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 3: That was the you know, one of the most brutal

969
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: weekends of our lives obviously, but one thing it did,

970
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 3: if you, if you want to find a positive about it,

971
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 3: is no podcasts seem hard. After that, there were some

972
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say no podcasts seem hard. There were some

973
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 3: really tough ones this summer. I mean having or having

974
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 3: it around the NFL and the way that it ended

975
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 3: and and starting this that was brutal, but honestly, like

976
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 3: even that week I actually was thinking about like having

977
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: a podcast after Chris died and everything, like nothing will

978
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 3: ever compare to that in a way that in a

979
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 3: positive way. And he would remind you me of this

980
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: all the time, like we're just talking football here, like

981
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 3: you know, like we love football. We're talking football, like

982
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 3: even though it's our livelihood and there are stresses around

983
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 3: us and it's our careers and everything we just talked

984
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 3: about with like when this show is starting, like that's

985
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 3: all extremely stre life situations, Like nothing will be like that.

986
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 3: So I appreciate your kind words. Yeah, so never say

987
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: I don't listen. And Captain Morgan is like, what are

988
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 3: you guys talking about? We want a lighthearted segment about

989
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 3: players of the week, so give it to me, all right.

990
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 5: My player of the week is mister Coles Cash himself.

991
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Kirk Cousins.

992
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 5: I love him and I love his story, and I

993
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 5: just love that people continuously count him out, especially Kirk

994
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 5: in primetime. And look what he did Thursday night in

995
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 5: the primetime game over the Bucks to take the lead

996
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 5: for the NFC South. He had a career high five

997
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 5: hundred and nine passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and interception,

998
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 5: and led that game winning touchdown. He tied his career

999
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 5: high with four passing touchdowns. He just he was everything

1000
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 5: that the Falcons wanted him to be that night, and

1001
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 5: he did it on primetime where everybody could see.

1002
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is still alive and well, and he is

1003
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 3: my player of the week. I love that choice and

1004
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: it sets up one of the most fascinated I stories

1005
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 3: of let's just say the next month of the season,

1006
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 3: because the way they won that game is that replicaal

1007
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 3: can you keep doing it that way? Where he's just

1008
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 3: slinging it in the pocket, barely moving at all and

1009
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 3: just dropping dimes. It was impressive, It was awesome. It

1010
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 3: was a great choice. I'm going similar in the sense

1011
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm picking a quarterback who's not always everyone's favorite player.

1012
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Daniel Jones just because we were

1013
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 3: talking about this guy you making a face.

1014
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 5: I cover Daniel Jones at Duke, you know, and nice guy.

1015
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 5: He seems like real, nice guy, like I would. We

1016
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 5: were watching the video, you see that type of guy.

1017
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 5: Everyone says, nice guy. No, we were watching the video

1018
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 5: earlier of Sefon Diggs and the Vikings and everyone asking like,

1019
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 5: who would you not want to date your sister and

1020
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 5: they all said, Sapan Digs, I would.

1021
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 3: I would let my sister date.

1022
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 5: Daniel Yes, nice guy, nice guy, great quarterback, that's another question.

1023
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 3: Nice guy though, No, but a good quarterback when he's protected.

1024
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: And the reason why I wanted to throw him out

1025
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: here is more of like how this season is going.

1026
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he goes into Seattle. Did he block you

1027
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 3: or something? You're trying to get him done? Block you? No.

1028
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 3: I've always said that if he's protected, he can just

1029
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: be like a league average quarterback. I don't mean a positive,

1030
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 3: like he's not a huge positive. They shouldn't have given

1031
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 3: him that contract. But if you protect him, he's not

1032
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 3: like people this year coming to the year is like

1033
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 3: he's the worst quarterback in the league. He's number thirty

1034
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 3: two going into the league year after Week one, I

1035
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: was one of the people saying, like, is this game

1036
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 3: in Washington going to be his last start ever for

1037
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 3: the Giants. That was the conversation because he was that

1038
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 3: bad in Week one. If you look at his numbers

1039
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 3: over the last month since Week two total EPA, he's

1040
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 3: like fifth or sixth in the league. I mean, he's

1041
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 3: not that good of a player. He's had some good opponents.

1042
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 3: But my point is they went into Seattle. They dominated

1043
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 3: that game. I watched that game on Monday, and they

1044
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 3: the Seahawks were lucky to even be in that game.

1045
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: If you protect him, he was mostly short stuff, accurate,

1046
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 3: and the thing that gave him my Captain Morgan Captain

1047
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: of the Week was him trucking defenders like he wanted

1048
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 3: that business, like he saw out I don't know if

1049
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 3: this is the smartest thing for his health long term,

1050
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: but he saw Seahawks in his way, whether it was

1051
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,439
Speaker 3: going for a first out or not, and he ran

1052
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 3: over them like he is playing with an edge that

1053
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 3: tells me like, hey, I've got this job. I am

1054
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 3: keeping this job. And he's playing pretty well right now.

1055
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 3: So that was our Captain's Corner, presented by Captain Morgan.
