Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast Jake's no responsibility for takes

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: generated in the last the Welcome to another edition of

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Kansas,

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: coming to you from a virtual room filled with heroes,

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Greg Rosal and yes, the great Chris Wesley.

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: What is a bully? He's been six West. We missed

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: you last week, buddy, but you look good right now.

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: How do you? How do you feel? Oh, it's night

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: and day compared to where I was last week. Um,

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: I have been in the stage for a while, for

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: a couple of months. Where as long as I could

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: take my three or four baths a day and night,

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: as you guys are well aware, you know I could,

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: I could keep the pain away for a while and

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: stay on top of it and get through my days.

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: And then right about when I was starting radiation and

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: the radiation begins to tear down, um, the cancer cells

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: and they're swelling. Um, it got it reached a new

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: level where I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't think about

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: anything but pain, and it was dominated my life. So UM,

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: I had to go into the hospital, get that under

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: control and got out Friday afternoon, and it's been it's

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: been night and day. It's been like the pain is

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: almost non existent now, which means to me, it's not

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: just that the new pain meds are working. It's at

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: the radiations working, and it's it's gone into um, into

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the bones, and it has smashed some of that cancer

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: that has been feasting on my bones. We can eat

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: my bones and putting pressure on my nerves. So the

30
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: radiation radiation is doing its job, which it's a more

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: permanent thing that the pain meds. To me, that's great. Yeah,

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: that is legitimate progress. And and we could hear it

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: in your voice, there's that level of enthusiasm, uh, that

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: you've already beat this thing once. Maybe West turning the

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: corner again. Momentum it's a thing best when best win

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: a week six? You know, is there is there momentum

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: in big sea battles. West, I've experienced momentum and exists.

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: I think anyone who's experienced momentum knows it exists. I

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: do have like one quick question for you, West, Like,

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: and I know maybe the bathtime allotment is a little

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: lower if you're feeling more comfort, but were there certain

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: baths for maybe Lakisha would come in and just sort

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: of sit, you know, uh on the ledge of the

44
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: toilet or the ledge of the bathtub to to hang

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: out with you and just converse with you or was

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: that was? It was that alone time for you mostly

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: like Kermit the frog bump ontalogs in there. You know

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: you like you, you put the toilet seat down, you

49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: just sit there and hang out and like talk to

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: the person and you're in the tub doing Some of

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: these marathon bath sessions were going on for like four hours,

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: so plenty of time for for everything, you know, run

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: the gamut. West just sinks into the tub with the

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: bubbles up to his chin and takes a deep breath

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: and goes, I deserve this. There was some wonderful bass.

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: I have it down to a science. Now, all right,

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: that's great. We'll put Greg. The biggest win of week

58
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: six is West is with us and feeling good. Uh

59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: and is on a winning streak in the big Sea fight. Uh.

60
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: And we're going to get to the rest of week six,

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: which is inconsequential in relation to West, but we're gonna

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: talk about anyway because that's our job. That's what we

63
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: do around here. We talked about all the games, and

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: we had a full slate of Sunday action. No uh

65
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: COVID issues, thank goodness, especially in the early window. A

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: ton of football to talk about. So let's dig in

67
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: and let us start with one of the best games

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: of the year, back and fourth affair between a f

69
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: C South rivals. It's the King cap Henry running to

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: the left high that's Arthur Smith were the final five

71
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: yards and oh, that's a great call to start us

72
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: off from. Of course, Mike Keith and highly elated Dave

73
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: McGinnis of w g f X. Derrick Henry finally busted out,

74
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: and he did so in horrifying fashion if you're a

75
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Texans fan. Uh. The NFL's reigning rushing champ took the

76
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: direct snap and plowed into the end zone to clinch

77
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: at six overtime win. Henry also had a ninety four

78
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run earlier in the game. Stiff, I'm stiff

79
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: arming another defender into the abyss in the process. West, Listen,

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: everything's coming up West this weekend. You grabbed this game

81
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: to focus on, and wow, what a treat it was. Yeah,

82
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: there were a lot of big drama swings in this

83
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: one and It started out the first three quarters before

84
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: h Taylor Lawan Titans left tackle went down and Johnny

85
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: Smith went down to the third quarter, Gostkowski had some

86
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: trouble with miss kicks until then. It this was this

87
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: was big brother versus little brother, and I just kept thinking,

88
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: this is how this is how you play the lock game,

89
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: County Fox. You find you find a team that doesn't

90
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: belong on the same competitive playing field with the other

91
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: and take advantage because you cannot expect the Houston Texas

92
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: to come onto the same field with these Titans, a

93
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: well coached, mature, sophisticated team with an identity. Um And

94
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I think that analysis is on point until the same

95
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: thing happened is last year in the Bills playoff game.

96
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: J J. Watt makes a game changing play strip sack

97
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: taking advantage of Tyson Brelo being in for Taylor or

98
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: Lawana f tackle really changed the game. Uh And Deshaun

99
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: Watson too, fantastic games back to back. Now he was

100
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: on top of his game again today. Um And just

101
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: like he let the team back against the Bills in

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You just have those two super duper stars

103
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: that you can't can't count out and the rest of

104
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: this team is just frankly not very good. Where do

105
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: you put this like Titans offense. You're watching, you're doing

106
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: the QB Index every week. Tannehill's numbers are bananas. They

107
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: put up six hundred and eleven yards today. I mean

108
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: that is our rate, six hundred one yards today on

109
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: seventy plays, so they average eight point six yards were

110
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: played despite having seventy places. And it wasn't one of

111
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: those games. Okay. I went to look to see, well

112
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: maybe they had fourteen or fifteen drives, which is a

113
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: big number. It's like no eleven drives. Uh, not that much,

114
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: especially for over time. Like where do you put this

115
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: Titans offense? And they got Humphreys back from the COVID

116
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: list today West and in Tannehill kind of in the

117
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: NFL hierarchy, Yeah, they're right behind like the Chiefs in

118
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: that group. I mean you take the elite of the

119
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: elite and the Titans are just like a little bit behind.

120
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: And that's one on sixteen seventeen games. Now, um, they

121
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: they were a little bit slow out of the gates

122
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: maybe this year, but the last few weeks they've been

123
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: on point. And Tannehill's MVP candidacy is gonna be a

124
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: split vote with Henry. That's the way it should be

125
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: because Henry is that valuable. But Tannehill is playing at

126
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: an m v P level and it keeps coming down

127
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: after down. You can't keep him out of a game.

128
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: He's always coming back in the fourth quarter. Um, he's

129
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: doing this without Corey Davis. They had some more injuries,

130
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: and I do think this game ended up closer than

131
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: it should have been because the Titans are not at

132
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: full strength. They've got some COVID issues still. Um, they've

133
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: got some kicking game issues. Their cornerbacks are banged up

134
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: and can be easily beaten like they were today, and

135
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: they have the fewest sacks in the NFL. I believe

136
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: they don't have a pass rush. I would just point

137
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: to the way that you know, John Robinson handled the

138
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: contract situation for Henry and Tannehill in the off season

139
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: that was draped with questions of how could either one

140
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: of them duplicate what they've done, And it feels like

141
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it and the identity of the attack

142
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: boils down to and Dan. I know you find his

143
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: name to be rather milk toasts as you all always mentioned,

144
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: but Arthur Smith is basically, uh, you know, authoring a

145
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: stellar resume to become someone's head coach about three months

146
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: from now, speedy delivery. I call him now, Well, he's

147
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: he's bizarro gains right now. Everyone has their everyone riches

148
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: their ceiling, Everyone fully develops under him. Arrick Henry goes

149
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: from tease to rushing champ. Tannehill goes the franchise quarterback.

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: The role players are phenomenal. Anthony Foxer had a great

151
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: game today, and and when Johnny Smith goes down, you

152
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: need that to happen. This team, no matter who they

153
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: plug in there, he knows how to put guys in

154
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: key rules. They're undefeated, and yet they you know, four

155
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: of these games came down to total wild endings. So

156
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: they're they're doing it. You know they're doing it with offense,

157
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: which I trust, but you know they want to have

158
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: more games like that Bill's game and not for four

159
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: of these which have just been crazy games. Titans. Titans

160
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: are a good first draft pick when you're when we're

161
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: picking games because most of their games are awesome. Can't

162
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: wait to watch this game on game pass. I had

163
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: an eye on it because you saw what was happening

164
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: going back and forth and eventually was able to switch over.

165
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: It's incredible week after week. I'm saying it every week now,

166
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: but it's continuing that how great the Titans are in

167
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: the red zone. I believe they actually at one point

168
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: had ten straight trips inside the twenty covering the last

169
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: uh five weeks where they had scored a touchdown, and

170
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: that carried over into this game. Uh. What do you

171
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: guys think about Romeo Cornell's decision? They scored the touchdown,

172
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: uh to go up thirty six to twenty nine with

173
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: a minute fifty remaining, that's a seven point lead. He

174
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: elects to go for two, which would have made it

175
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: a two story score game obviously and effectively ends the game. However,

176
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: they don't convert, stays at seven, which means when the

177
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Titans get the ball back in an inevitably inevitably West

178
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: score on an A. J. Brown seven yard catch with

179
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: force it's remaining. All they need is the point after

180
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: to tie it. It was aggressive. I don't know what

181
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: the new age analytics say about it, but it seemed

182
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: a little overly aggressive in that spot. Don't it lacked

183
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: common sense? I mean, it just lacked all common sense.

184
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: Why why put what? Why give the conk to the

185
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: other team, Try to win the game. Try to win

186
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: the game with your best player, instead of letting Gustkowski

187
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: go kick another one that that's not a lock that

188
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: he hits the extra point first of all, as the

189
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: way you mentioned, and I like giving yourself chance extra

190
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: chances to win the game. That wins the game with

191
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: the Shaun Watson and then your defense has a chance

192
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: to go win the game. You know, in regulation or

193
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: over time, it's about common sense. You make them score

194
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: and get the two point conversion just to take you

195
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: out of the game. It's about avoiding a loss it

196
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: just as much as it is going and getting that win.

197
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: It seems like sometimes if you're the interim coach, if

198
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: you're Romeo Crenell, these decisions don't stick to you the

199
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: same way. You're sort of like the substitute teacher. But

200
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't like it in that situation. I

201
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: know some analytics heads would. But you know, Jeffrey Simmons,

202
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: nice job getting a hand up in the air and

203
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: knocking that pass down. He he had a big third

204
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: down stack on Watson right before then, too, alright, so

205
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: that was a thriller in the early slate. Only two

206
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: late games, and one of them, uh was a top

207
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: NFC matchup that everybody was zoned in on because the

208
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: Jets were involved with the other game. But this one

209
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: did not turn out as competitive as we imagined. Let's

210
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: check it out. Rogers takes the stap third and Jan

211
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: drops Precter Cup against the past Tenner shopping picks off,

212
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: tell the sideline, twenty five touch dot Tampa Fie, Tompastown buckets,

213
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Jabalden first turn over other season by the packet. It's

214
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: a pick fiction. Gene Decker off w f Us with

215
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: the call the Bowls of Sons. You know, I saw

216
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: a tweet today and my tweet I could flash real

217
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: quick because so many messages are coming. It was like,

218
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: the Bowls of Sons is real, and I'm like, oh,

219
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: good for Greg. Not only is Bowls and the Tampa

220
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers having a big day now, other people are

221
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: tweeting about it. It's it's getting getting some steam. I

222
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: go to check it out. It was Greg's tweet with

223
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: very little interaction. No one cares about the Bolt of Sons. Well,

224
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: you know what, take the lap though, Greg, you might

225
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: have been a little early on it, but now it's

226
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: right on time because Jamal Dean swung momentum with a

227
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: second quarter pick six of Aaron Rodgers, and the Bucks

228
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: never let up after that over the previously undefeated Packers.

229
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady uh through multiple touchdown passes, including his first

230
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: post Pats TV connection with Rob Gronkowski, and boys, this

231
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: was once you got out of the first quarter. This

232
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: was complete domination on both sides of the ball by

233
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks and another pronouncement by the Bucks that there

234
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: a legit contender in the wide open NFC. And you

235
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: know we talked about it. Uh they lost uh Vita

236
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: Vea last week and what would that mean to their

237
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: front seven and the importance that he has their Well,

238
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: they showed off their depth and ability to adapt because

239
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: really the Packers had no answers and Aaron Rodgers was

240
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: pressured this entire game and making mistakes and never able

241
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: to get anything going. So the defense just balled out

242
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: in a big spot and then the offense just cruised

243
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: along and it was, just like I said, a total

244
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: package victory for the Bucks, who really have announced them

245
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: in a wide open NFC as a legit, legit contender. Yeah,

246
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I love these defensive backs, Like I think their defense

247
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: starts at linebacker, uh with with Devin White and Lavante David,

248
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Like they they set the tone. White keeps getting better

249
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: and better and Levante David doesn't age like he is

250
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: still playing at that level. So to me, that's sort

251
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: of where it comes from. But because of Bulls, you know,

252
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: schemes it up well where they know pressure is gonna

253
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: get there. A lot of the times, these defensive backs

254
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: are so aggressive and we've we've been talking about it

255
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: now for a while, and I think people are realizing,

256
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: like Jamal Dean, okay, gave up a big play. I

257
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: think a week ago. He's top five in PFF right now,

258
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis is the guy actually gets a little more

259
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: love from the Bucks coaches as their shutdown guy. Winfield

260
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: looks like his dad Murphy Bunting is good and you

261
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: add it off, there's no difference making defenses left anymore

262
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: like it's them, it's the Bears, Like it's like it's

263
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers. That's about it. And what a great place

264
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: for Brady to choose to go to the old line

265
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: is awesome, and the defense is awesome. He can win

266
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: a game, you know, thirty eight to ten with a

267
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six yards passing like that, he chose amazingly. Well, well,

268
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: they just squeezed the life out of Green Bay and

269
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen anything like that for an offense that

270
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: was so entirely on fire. They had five yards in

271
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: the second quarter, which is the lowest yardage output in

272
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: any quarter in the Rogers era. And you go back

273
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: and you look at this possession chart. In consecutive drives,

274
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: the Packers had zero yards seven zero negative four two

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: five and that was like over. That was like two

276
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: thirds of the game right there. And when David Baktier

277
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: went out with the chest injury, you gotta look at

278
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: what they can do and what how when you put

279
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: pressure on Aaron Rodgers, he had only been sacked three

280
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: times all year, and that doubled today and it looked

281
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: like it and and suddenly it's like it's an altering

282
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: It's a mind altering win for for the Bucks because

283
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking about the Packers differently, completely differently than we

284
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: did on Friday. I thought Green Bay was gonna was

285
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna handle this game with ease way off on that one. Yes,

286
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: I know you had the Packers as your lock of

287
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: the week. I overestimated the Packers offense, which um have

288
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: been at times almost impeccable despite a few drops and mistakes.

289
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: But the way they were humming, I mean, mowing down

290
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: franchise records, setting setting paces that they hadn't set before,

291
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: and doing it as a number one offense in the NFL,

292
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and disrespecting the Bucks defense, which Greg outlined pretty thoroughly here,

293
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: level by level, fantastic secondary. Carlton Davis the linebacker play

294
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: is on fire, Um, just to dominate one of those

295
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: special offense doesn't look like it was, you know, like

296
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: the two thousand sixteen or whatever. Falcon's offense. It has

297
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: one of those years, um, and dismantle it like that.

298
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: What a performance by the Bucks Rogers was until we

299
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: haven't we haven't seen this in a while. I wouldn't

300
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: expect it to see it very often. Um. But whether

301
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: it was you know, the pick six, he's not used

302
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: to that. And then Carlton Davis makes up another place,

303
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: so suddenly it's two interceptions in a row. He's getting sacked.

304
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: He hadn't been sacked all year. Uh, but he was

305
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: doing things that you don't see. I mean, he had

306
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis wide open for a big play, misses that

307
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: he takes a delay a game. At one point, it

308
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: just was he's he seems scrambled. Whether it was bowls

309
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: or his own play or whatever it was. He he

310
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: was in a hole and he couldn't get any He

311
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: had two picks sixes in his first six thousand, two

312
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: d and fourteen career attempts. Then he threw a third today,

313
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: and then he threw a pick you know, soon after.

314
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: So it was it was a legit meltdown, and you know,

315
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: Fox was dying because they were like, look at our luck.

316
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: We went from there was supposed to be four late

317
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: games and then COVID mad just knocked them down to

318
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: two and nobody was watching Jets Dolphins. Someone I can

319
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: report to you. Okay, we'll get to that. For it

320
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: to end with a gabbered coil showdown, boil boil showdown

321
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: in the final five minutes of game time, that that hurts.

322
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: Troy and Buck were bumming, But that's that's the way

323
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: it goes. How about Gronk, How about Gronk making a

324
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: player to get the old the old man. How about

325
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Gronk looking great while the Patriots offense

326
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: goes up in flames up there in Foxboro. People will

327
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: spend weeks. People will spend weeks. You know, they'll be

328
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: weeks when they slump this Buck's offense. A lot of

329
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: things have to go perfectly for them, but hats hats

330
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: off to them. Just in the year we get like

331
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Brady out playing Rodgers and Gronk like coming off the

332
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: mat resuming his career in just an impeccable connection at

333
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: several times in this game. That's off to those guys

334
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: per staying relevant. And the Bearded Boy said after the

335
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: game that he does not believe David back trsuh chest

336
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: injury is a long term concern. That's the starling tackle

337
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: of the Packers h. So that is one silver lining

338
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: in this game. Back tr went out early. Let's move

339
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: on measuring stick game for Mark Sessler's Brown's Mayfield shotgun

340
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: snap throws over middle intercepted and is Maker Fitzpatrick touchdown?

341
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: Minka people up and asking wherese Manca Fitzpatrick Baker Mayfield

342
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: just found ut Oh, Bill Hill grow that's good. W

343
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: d V E. Big there's the schech music. I'm sure

344
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: check was unbearable today. Cecil big Brother still rains. The

345
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: Steelers bullied. The Browns will start to finish On Sunday

346
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: at hines Field, dominating in a thirty eight to seven win.

347
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield watched the end of the game from the

348
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: sideline bench by Brown's coach Kevin's the Fanski after ineffective performance.

349
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Uh here's what the Fanski had to say about his

350
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: decision to sit Mayfield in the second half. No, I

351
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: just I didn't want to see him get hit one

352
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: more time. And that's I put that on myself. Went

353
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: in this game, no one. We had to keep him clean,

354
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: and we didn't do a good enough job. So that

355
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: that starts with me, obviously. And he's a very very

356
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: tough player, and and uh, I know he wants to fight,

357
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: but it's a long season. We got a game next week,

358
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: and I didn't feel like it was the right thing

359
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 1: to put him back out there. Mark Mayfield's gonna get

360
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: killed this week. Um for his struggles, but perhaps more

361
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: credit is due to the Steelers defense, which put it

362
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: together and showed you again how scary they can be

363
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: when both sides of the ball are humming right. This

364
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: game is more about Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh emerging as a

365
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: team to be taken very seriously. I mean I think

366
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: we we took them seriously beforehand. But you know they

367
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: went out and said, we're gonna teach you, Cleveland Browns

368
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: where your ceiling is right now. The Ravens taught that

369
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: lesson a month ago, So I think we kind of

370
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: forget about that a little bit, or think maybe they

371
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: grew out of that. Um. You guys know that when

372
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I watched these Browns games, it's not, um, completely unusual

373
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: for me even a minute or two in to say,

374
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: I know that, I know this game is going totally south.

375
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: And I picked that picked that Minca Fitzpatrick, uh play

376
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: because you knew it was over. I mean, the energy

377
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: around Cleveland's offense was grizzly out of the gate, and

378
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: it had everything to do with Pittsburgh. Um. They put

379
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: tremendous heat on Baker Mayfield, who came into this game

380
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: banged up, and I think it was you know, a

381
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: benching for just get him out of there. He was

382
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: not effective on any level today. Uh. They reduced him

383
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: to salt, the same way that Bill Belichick has done

384
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: too rookie quarterbacks for so long. Mayfield look lost. Case

385
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Keenum came in and looked lost. Mayfield was banged up.

386
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: I give this um, this Steelers team incredible credit because

387
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: you talked about one of these defenses that can make

388
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: a legit difference and and completely take an opposing offense

389
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: that's been on fire and make it look sophomoric, like

390
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: it's like they're still figuring out what they were doing.

391
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh's pass rush um completely confused one of the

392
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: better offensive lines. I know why a Teller was out

393
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: for Cleveland. But Cleveland, you know we saw what are

394
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: they gonna be a run heavy team? Well, they couldn't run.

395
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: They couldn't get any sort of flow in this game

396
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: from any at all. In Big Ben. Uh, you know,

397
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: you've got guys like Chase Claypool and we all know

398
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: at this point that like he is to me their

399
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: number one receiver, I mean he and they're calling him

400
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: for good reasons. Maple Tron because he look he's from Canada.

401
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: He looks like Megatron. Uh, he looks like a lot

402
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: of players from the past where you're thinking this could

403
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: have been a tight end in a different era. But

404
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,479
Speaker 1: he's simply too freaky to almost categorize. Uh. And they

405
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of tape on him laughter last week

406
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: and couldn't do anything to stop it. And I watched

407
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: someone like Joel Bettonio, who was one of the more rugged,

408
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: reliable left guard it's in the NFL, get handled by

409
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: Cam Hayward. They just did not They did not show

410
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: up to this game on any level. Now. Look, they're

411
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: really banged up. I mean, Kareem Hunt was not healthy,

412
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Baker was not healthy. You can list it up and down.

413
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, I don't really care. I think had they

414
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: all been healthy, this is still the Pittsburgh Steelers telling

415
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns you're improved, You're you moved up a

416
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: tier too. But there are various other tiers. And in

417
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: Pro football and especially in the a f C North,

418
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: if you suddenly want to, you know, hop scotch some

419
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: of these perennial winners, these organizations that have been forged

420
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: over decades of success, it's gonna take a long time.

421
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: This was a stepping stone game. The stone got lifted

422
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: off the garden and thrown over the fence and atlanted

423
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: through the neighbor's window. They aren't there yet, a long

424
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: way to go. You know. Mike Tomlin has a way

425
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: with words, and he said after the game, we were

426
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: varsity today pretty much across the board, and I thought

427
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: that was well put you know, yes, put the putting

428
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: them on the dav team as as the the basement

429
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: of the ANFC North compared to the Steelers, a team

430
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: which easy to forget head gone a league high twenty

431
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: three straight games um without scoring thirty points until the

432
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Wow, the Steelers are now seventeen and

433
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: oh at home versus the Browns and drafting Ben Roethlisberger

434
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: in two thousand four, it's been since Week five, two

435
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: thousand three, a thirty three thirteen Cleveland win, that they

436
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: got it done with Big Ben in the lineup. And yeah,

437
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: the I think the other thing that people are gonna

438
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: be talking about market and we can get to this

439
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: later in the week, but four game winning streak for

440
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: the Browns this season sandwiched by a thirty eight six

441
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: loss of the Ravens in Week one, now thirty eight

442
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: seven to the Steelers in Week six. They're gonna be

443
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: questions about who are the Browns? Yeah, and I think

444
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: you could. You could also look at who who that

445
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: four game winning streak came against. We learned more about

446
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the week slits. I just think they're

447
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: one of these. And frankly, like the thing that's most

448
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: haunting to me is there's no team that annoys me

449
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: more in the NFL than teams that are kind of

450
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: like nine and seven operations that I don't believe in

451
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: by like early November, and I don't want this is

452
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: a step up, but but it's time for anyone that was,

453
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, running their mouth on the from the brown

454
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: side of things UM to go silent. And and you

455
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: I just said that my words aren't um misconstrued. What

456
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: I said that you asked of Damna check was annoying

457
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: and I didn't get to finish my coming. He wasn't

458
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: at all. In fact, I visited a show last week

459
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: and he was quite a gentleman about the whole thing.

460
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: But I get off of Twitter on days like this.

461
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with anyone because it's like

462
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: you're right there and like when you're Baker Mayfield and

463
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: you create this environment around you that the persona you're

464
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: going to suffer broadly in the following week after a

465
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: loss like this, Well, they haven't proven that they can

466
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: throw the ball with any consistently, any consistency, and so

467
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to win as many games as you want

468
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: if you're not a great passing team and you're not

469
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: a great past defense. I mean, it's a past passing league.

470
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: The the only time O. B J has a big

471
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: game is when Jervis Landrys throwing them the ball and

472
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: they're cooking up you know, running running, rushing yards. Yeah,

473
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: when I take him out of my fantasy lineup, that's

474
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: when he has That's what's happening. So I just think

475
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: they're you're gonna lose a level of You're not gonna

476
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of margin for error until they prove

477
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: that they can be a more consistent passing game. Steelers

478
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: are awesome. They lose Devin Bush today, that's pretty big. Yeah,

479
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: that was a big loss towards a c L. So

480
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: they'll have to adapt there. He's a big part of

481
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: the middle of their defense. But you get the feeling

482
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers could pull it off. Well. Run organization over there,

483
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on the game. Snap is back.

484
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: Here comes pressure up them better we throws is intercepted

485
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: DeAndre whilsted Carson. Are you kidding me? Two weeks in

486
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: a row, he's come up with a big play. Had

487
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: he throw it right to d h C? Wow, Jeff,

488
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: Johnny ch w BBM. Come on, everybody, let's do it all.

489
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: At the same time, it's time to give the Bears

490
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: some respect, just a bit. I don't need, they don't

491
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: need to be a super Bowl team in your eyes.

492
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: Just give them a little respect. Give their defense respect,

493
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: all right, part of the team. Teddy Bridgewater never got

494
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: comfortable against consistent pressure from Chicago's front four and Nick

495
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: Boles in the offense. That's just enough. That's what they've

496
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: been doing over the Panthers and Charlotte Caroline is a

497
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: three game winning streak is cut put and the Bears

498
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: are five and one. The Bears are five and one. Mark.

499
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna show some love to the monsters of the Midway.

500
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: I am, I am. I don't have to. I don't

501
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: have to look like half of their team, their offense.

502
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: And if you look at the box score and you

503
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: simply looked at the half that Chicago offered, you think

504
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: they probably lost this game because They're just not a

505
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: team that jumps out on you, um, on offense at all.

506
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: But they made Teddy Bridgewater, who I think has been

507
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, embroiled in one of his best seasons, if not,

508
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: I think to flat it, flat out his best up

509
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: till now. Well that's yeah, that's I'm embroiled. Maybe not

510
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: the right word there, but he they made him uncomfortable.

511
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: And and so this is you know, here we are.

512
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: We're talking about the third of those maybe defenses in

513
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: the NFL that are legit. And you know, they did

514
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: it to the Bucks. Uh. You know, it seems like

515
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: a long time ago, but that was the last game

516
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: that was a legit win. And they did it today.

517
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: And I do think this Panther's team has been flashy

518
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: on offense. They made a few plays today, but they

519
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: opened the game with the interception, they closed it with

520
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: a Teddy Bridgewater interception, and right in the middle Mike Davis,

521
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: who's been really tough, had a killer fumble. And they

522
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: just couldn't quite get their act together. And Chicago, to me,

523
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean this this team, I don't need to buy

524
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: the record. It doesn't matter like they're gonna win games

525
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: like this. This was their dream script. They want to

526
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: win games twenty one to eighteen, and they kind of

527
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: ran into the right opponent. I think today and and

528
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess this this is one of

529
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: those days where my real team lost, um my fantasy team,

530
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: which I'll never mention again because nobody cares. Got it's

531
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: ass kicked and my lock here the pan there's after

532
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: showing so much faith. Um, I think I overextended a

533
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: little bit. They got a long way to go. Is

534
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: not going to fly off the field on game pass

535
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: for you. But the Bears defense, um, I think they're

536
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: better than they were last year. Mark tom Petty said it.

537
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: Some days are diamonds, some days or rocks. Yeah, I

538
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I basically when I eat a dinner of a plate

539
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: of rocks tonight, which that's well be eating for dinner.

540
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: About a little love for Chuck Strong, Um, you know

541
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: West having a big weekend. Chuck Bogano. When's the last

542
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: time we mentioned his name? I thought, after Vic Fanny

543
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: right when when when Vic Fangio went to Denver, we

544
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: thought this defense was gonna really decline? And you know

545
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: what they did last year? They were still good. They

546
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: weren't you know otherworldly this year, where on paper, I

547
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: don't think they quite a you know, I'm not sure

548
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the personnel is all there. Robert Quinn has not given

549
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: them that much, including in this game, at least according

550
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: to the box score. And yet he's cooking out. You're

551
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: seeing on more creativity and your old boy Barkbious Mingo

552
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: has got four and a half quarterback hits in this game.

553
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: You know, the defensive coordinator and the team defense is

554
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: playing well when Mingo is flying off the box score.

555
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, we talked about this entering the season, like

556
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: the only way the Bears truly contend. And it's not

557
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: like we were like somehow ahead of the curve. I

558
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of people. So it's the only way

559
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: they really contend and and win games is if if

560
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: their defense returns to being that kind of force that

561
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: makes quarterbacks uncomfortable and turns the ball over and gives

562
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: the offense short fields. That's what's happened so far, and

563
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: and they needed their stars on defense to play that way.

564
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: Kleil mac has three sacks in the last two games.

565
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: Uh He's a four and half on the year. Rick

566
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: On Smith, he leads the team and tackles and tackles

567
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: for loss. Uh, they're getting impact plays from the guys

568
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: they needed from, which wasn't always the case last year.

569
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: And they had injuries as well last year. So that's

570
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: a difference. And I don't know the Nick Foles Mitch

571
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: Drabinsky thing, is there a huge difference there and play.

572
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. It doesn't seem that what

573
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, what the difference is a little bit. I

574
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: think this defense allows Nick Foles to work himself out

575
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: of the little funks he gets into in games. And

576
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what more you can ask from Nick

577
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: Foles into at some points string together like two scoring

578
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: drives and get out of these things with a win.

579
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: And it was more than four point one yards for

580
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: play out of this offense. I mean, you're not gonna,

581
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, if you look at their half of

582
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: the box score, you would have thought they got thumped. Um.

583
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: I will say one little, one little thing for the

584
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: Panthers Derek Brown, first round pick, is he's showing up

585
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: game after game. Now. I like, I think they've they've

586
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: found something with this. Their defense is just really young

587
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: and their moments where you know, I don't trust them too.

588
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: To close the deal. Let's head to the former throw

589
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: of these see if never brings some pressure. They do

590
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: safety the white in the pockets he throws, lookes it

591
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: up and its incomplete Denver's defense. What's a huge stop?

592
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: We would like us didn't didn't then anyway, Dave Logan,

593
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Morris it is. It's got a little bit of

594
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: a variety show from nineteen seventy three. Flare to it.

595
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Dave Logan ko A with the call. Yes, the Broncos

596
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: defense put the clamps on Cam Newton and they got

597
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: a final fourth down stop the seal in eighteen twelve.

598
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: Is that a Jumanji win or whatever they call it

599
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Origami score gami? I do not know, but I would

600
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: imagine eighteen twelve is not. It's in play. Eighteen twelve

601
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: win over the Patriots in Foxboro. That's two straight wins

602
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: for Denver, separated by seventeen days due to COVID nineteen

603
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: issues for the Pats. Um what do you take from

604
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: this game? Well, the Patriots they hadn't practiced much at

605
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: all in the past two weeks as the with the

606
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: coronavirus and uh. I guess it could be an excuse

607
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: to say that's why they were rusty or didn't play

608
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: well in this game, because we saw what the Titans

609
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: have done over the last six days, piling up points

610
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: and looking like a smooth machine in two wins. But

611
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: they managed just a dight eight total yards, three three turnovers.

612
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: Cam had a pair of interceptions in his return from

613
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list. And I'll give the new England

614
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: defense defense credit. They kept the Broncos out of the

615
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: end zone. But the problem is the Broncos have the

616
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: best kicker in the league not named Justin Tucker, Brandon McManus,

617
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: who hit six field goals for their eighteen points. Uh

618
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: And when Drew Lock almost threw the Patriots, or he did,

619
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: he threw the Patriots back into the game with two

620
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: late interceptions, which I put a little bit on the

621
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: game script or the play calling as much as I

622
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: put it on Lock for why they haven't this kid

623
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: throw the ball downfield when you could just run out

624
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: the clock of a little bit more conservative gameplay, they

625
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: still managed to get to stop and Greg, I, I

626
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you had a chance to watch this

627
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: game at all, but I thought it was telling that

628
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: once they got to eighteen twelve, it was eighteen three.

629
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: They get the touchdown, they get a field goal, and

630
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: now they're within striking distance to steal a win here

631
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: in kind of classic Patriots fashion, um or at least

632
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the old Patriots. After a game in which Cam is

633
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: unable to get anything going, his receivers aren't getting separation,

634
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: you see Josh McDaniels start going to his bag of

635
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: tricks and taking out these special plays and these trick

636
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: plays to try to get down the field for that

637
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown. And it didn't work out. On a

638
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: fourth down, Newton airmail airmail to throw. So that kind

639
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: of was a bit of a I don't want to

640
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: call a lot of rabo mcnifico, but it was I thought,

641
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: maybe a statement about where McDaniels feels about this offense

642
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: right now and its ability to just go down the

643
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: field and win a game. Well, what, there isn't much

644
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: offense other than the running game, and in this game

645
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: that was basically just Cam Newton. Now they've they've been

646
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: very O line dependent and uh you know they lost

647
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: another starter there today during the game Illuminois and uh

648
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: you know, Tuny's playing center and had a snap over

649
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's head. But why would you have any faith

650
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: that you could throw the ball when you haven't. You

651
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: haven't done it much all season. You did for the

652
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: Seattle game and then you certainly weren't today. I mean

653
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: they're leading receivers today is James White, you know on

654
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: the dump offs, and then it's Demere Bird and uh

655
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Izzoh who got hurt during the game. I mean

656
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: it's rough. And that last play that you mentioned to

657
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: me was telling because I think you could read between

658
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: the lines of what Cam Newton said after the game,

659
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's one of those option routes where the

660
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and the receiver has to see it at the

661
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: same time, and nikkil Harry doesn't read the coverage, uh

662
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: the right way. Essentially, Cam Newton didn't say that, but

663
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: you could. You could figure it out. And nikkil Harry,

664
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: who has been a major problem. I mean, they need

665
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: they just need any receiver that can make a play,

666
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: and the they just don't have one, and so their

667
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: margin fair is gonna be thin. And I think this

668
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: Broncos team and their defense and now that they got

669
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: some players back on offense, is gonna be very dangerous.

670
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: Their defense has been good all year. The people who

671
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: came into this game thinking that this was a crazy mismatch,

672
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: they haven't watched the Broncos. I really don't think so,

673
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: because this Broncos team is pretty good. I think they

674
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: will be good. I think it's notable that, like, if

675
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: you're the Patriots and you're right their O line dependent

676
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: Shack Mason is leaving the game with the calf injury,

677
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: James Friends, the son of Kirk Ferends to Iowa coach,

678
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: who was already your backup center is was tossed onto

679
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: the COVID list. The team is not practiced. I mean,

680
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman is completely disappeared from this offense outside of

681
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: the Seattle gave me at eight yards today. It just

682
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: seems on the covid lest they lost three more COVID

683
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: list guys on Saturday alone. How many offensive linemen are

684
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: even capable in that situation to step in, So, I mean,

685
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: you know they're their wizard offense assistant coach is no

686
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: longer part of the mix, so you can't be spinning

687
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: the magic on the Patriots offensive line. In left breathless

688
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: that comment any other thoughts. Watch out for these watch

689
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: out for West Broncho the weirdest stats Fogio uh the Bucks.

690
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: The Broncos did not punt until the fourth quarter of

691
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: this game, but did not have a touchdown. How many

692
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: times has that happen in NFL history? How many times

693
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: has a team gone out in their first six strides?

694
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned he had six field goals, but they opened

695
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: the game with six field goals. It's not a score

696
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: of gummy, but I can't imagine that's happening more than

697
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: once a year. Eight quarterback hits six tackles for the

698
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: last six passed defense, four sacks, three force fumbles. I

699
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: mean they ate him up. Bradley Chubb his his back.

700
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: Gotta gotta score touchdowns in our league, though it worked

701
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: as it works today. But all right, let's move on.

702
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: Our borrows out of the shot. He's gonna back to

703
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: throw step some of the pocket locked it over the

704
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: door a blackbird, and he's tripped up at the twenty

705
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: two yards loll he's down there, have a type away

706
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: intercepted by the looking black seconds to go. There's a

707
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: culture gonna win the ball game. Matt Taylor w F

708
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: and I with the call, don't throw it there kid,

709
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: don't throw it there. The Colts defense tightened up after

710
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: an ugly start, and Philip Rivers delivered and much needed

711
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: vintage performance. Let's getting tossed around a lot calling an

712
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: old quarterback who has a good day. Say, oh, vintage performance.

713
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: You've getting a lot of that writing a lot. I

714
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: need to tone it down in person. How about this show.

715
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: We're having a vintage show right now. We've been around

716
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: long enough. We're a better in terms of podcasts here

717
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: as we're like, you know, we're a big time better

718
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: and having a vintage show. Anyway, Yes, Rivers played extremely

719
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: well in this game seven win over the Bengals at

720
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil State in Bengals have no idea how as

721
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: out games under Zach Taylor. And if we're gonna kill

722
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia for that, maybe we should kill this guy too. Anyway,

723
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was up twenty one nothing early in the second quarter,

724
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: and I started seeing those stupid tweets again. It's like, oh,

725
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: right now, the Bengals have a ninety two point six

726
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: percent chance of winning. They I don't care. It doesn't matter,

727
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't apply to sports. Just play the game out,

728
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: doesn't It means nothing. Anyway, the Rivers got hot, and

729
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: I mean nuclear hot uh in the second quarter. These

730
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: were his numbers in one quarter of play, fourteen one,

731
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty four yards, two touchdowns and that

732
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: eight into the three touchdown lead. And it was strange

733
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: because the game felt like it was never in doubt

734
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: like the Colts even though they stayed Cincinnati close. And

735
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: Rivers also delivered a vintage interception late in the fourth

736
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: order that gave life back to Cincinnati, but they couldn't

737
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: do anything with it, ending with the Borough pick. But

738
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: for a team to jump out to a twenty one

739
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: nothing lead and then just basically in slow motion, lose

740
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: the game after that, it's got to be frustrating. Uh

741
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: if you're a Cincinnati fan and west, I know there

742
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: are many of them in the west uh, West Cincinnati

743
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: area seeing that game slip away. But a nice comeback

744
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: for the Colts and more importantly, getting the performance from

745
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers that you really wanted to see. And he

746
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: makes Frank Reich look good because when people like me

747
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: and and beat guys are questioning Reich after last week's

748
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: performance against the Browns, uh, and Reich said, you know,

749
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the least of my problems. Well, it literally was

750
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: the least of his problems in this game. Yeah, I

751
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: think Philip Rivers is one of the most misread players

752
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year. He does come with his challenges.

753
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: Um and I think he and Frank Riker's still figuring

754
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: each other out, a situation exacerbated by all those injuries there.

755
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: Where you lose Pittman, you lose Campbell today, you lose

756
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: Moley Cox, guys who really help out in the red

757
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: zone where Philips Rivers struggles right now. But but credit,

758
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: like you said, Dan, he was, he was on the

759
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: mark today. And um, by and large, he's moved this

760
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: offense up and down the field this year. They just

761
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: have to get used to how they're gonna balance it,

762
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: figure out whether they're a run team or a past team. Uh.

763
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: And Rivers, Um, he's sort of the flip side of

764
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: the coin. To Drew Brees, I'd rather have Rivers right

765
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: now than Breeze. I've probably have the quarterback who thinks

766
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: his arm is better than it is than one who

767
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: has no confidence in his arm. Really, and and Rivers

768
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: is gonna keep taking chances. He's always taking chances. There's

769
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: just more throws he can't make now that he thinks

770
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: he can make. I'm looking forward to watching this closer.

771
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: But to me, there's there's some big type concerns. I mean,

772
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: the Colts, they never thought they were the number one

773
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: defense in the league, um, and so I think that

774
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: idea has gone away the last two weeks. And good

775
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: defense is good, but doesn't you know it only means

776
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: so much in the NFL. Their running game has been

777
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: bad all year. Jonathan Taylor does not look ready. They

778
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: didn't have much of a running game today, and then

779
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton with eleven yards on five targets. A

780
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: whole lot of other receivers step up, and maybe they

781
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: don't need t Y Hilton to to be super productive,

782
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: but that's disappointing and it's it's surprising. In t Y

783
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: Hilton's defense, he had a really nice touchdown taken away

784
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: by penalty and then a huge gainer also wiped out

785
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: by penalty. Was like, he's had a lot of bad luck,

786
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: to be fair, this year. Yeah, he he had two

787
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: impact plays wiped out, but yeah, he hasn't found a

788
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: role in this offense. And on the subject of veteran receivers,

789
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: in the twilight. Um, we'll give a little up to A. J. Green,

790
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: who was a punching bag this week after that video

791
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: of his effort level on the Borough pick against the Ravens.

792
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: The video tweeted tweeted by you, right, but he earned

793
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: it and I wasn't the only one. But it looks

794
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: like he up and Greg was like, oh but his

795
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: hamstring it was fine, It was always fine, and he

796
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: was fine today. In fact, I mean he left the game,

797
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: he stopped playing. Then they called it a head. He

798
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: stopped playing, all right, He stopped playing when he was

799
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: still on the field on that interception. But anyway, I

800
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: just want to make the point that for the first time,

801
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: Burrow and Green was a thing. Eight for nineties six

802
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: on I believe ten targets, So you know, that's what

803
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: you kind of were hoping. The whole idea of the A. J.

804
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: Green experience with Joe Burrow was that he would kind

805
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: of be like what Larry Fitzgerald is for Kyler Murray

806
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: and West. It had had been nothing like that. So

807
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: that was a positive sign for the Bengals and an

808
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: otherwise frustrating day. Look, I don't think like Bengals fans

809
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: to me, what an encouraging day? Um, I thought, that's

810
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: how discouraging last week was. Did. It's been a while

811
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: since I saw a defensive coordinator take a part of

812
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback like Winke Martindale did Joe Burrow last week.

813
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be unflappable, that's supposed to be his

814
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: number one trade, and he was the least thing from it.

815
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: He was crumbling under pressure every single series. One of

816
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: the worst physical beatdowns I've seen from an offense um

817
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: defense perspective. And to come back today off the mat

818
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: like that and to get help from a j Green

819
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: to me, just to be able to move the ball

820
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: up and down the field, That's how discouraging last week was.

821
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: So at least at least look for seun signs of

822
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: progress there and Joe Burrows not ruined that does. I

823
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: am a little concerned about my Zach Taylor Coach of

824
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: the Year prediction. It feels like we're off to a

825
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: little slope, bit of a slower start than than needed.

826
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah, we Like I said, we kill Patricia for

827
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: the same thing. But the Bengals are now one eleven

828
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: and one in one score games. They've been in every

829
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: game this year last week. The Bengals are now one

830
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: eleven and one in one score games this year, so

831
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: they're competitive almost every week, but they can't get over

832
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: the hub. Let's move up went the he put on

833
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: a read option at the raven stop him at the

834
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: three yard line. The defense comes up big. L J

835
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: Ford and Matt jude On blow up the read option

836
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: Sandusky with the call w B A L. Yeah. That

837
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: was the two point try by the Eagles, who had

838
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: a chance to come back and tie the game against

839
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: the Ravens late, but the tackle by Judon and LJ

840
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: Fort to play allows the Ravens to escape to with

841
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: a thirty eight win over the Eagles and Baltimore is

842
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: now five and one. Greg I stopped even glancing at

843
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: this game after the Lamar touchdown that made but what

844
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: happened from that point on. I was stunned to see

845
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: the final score and that it actually came down to

846
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: one play. It felt like the the announcers, the Ravens coaches,

847
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: everyone stopped like paying attention to this game. There was

848
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: a long discussion of taking Carson Wentz out because you

849
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: don't want them to get hurt um because it was

850
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: like Thursday night football is coming up. And then suddenly,

851
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: despite the fact that the Ravens like still kept forcing turnovers,

852
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles scored twenty two in the fourth quarter. Um

853
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: some of them was some of it was locked, some

854
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: of was crazy. You got, you got the full Wentz experience.

855
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: Receivers killing them with drops, the offensive line totally falling

856
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: apart and having more injuries, Wentz making terrible throws, and

857
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: then it's you know, interceptions returned by penalties, and then

858
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,479
Speaker 1: amazing throws and then just throws where he just throws

859
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: it up in the air and on fourth down and

860
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: you get it. But ultimately, you know, it's amazing that

861
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: he got them to that position because by the end

862
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: of the game, they were down to two of their

863
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: original starters from the off season, because because Zach zach

864
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: Ertz left this game, and Miles Sanders left this game too,

865
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: and Jack Driscoll, who was starting at right tackle by

866
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: the way, also left this game, and so they were

867
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: just down to Kelsey and Wentz, and here it is

868
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: in a game where they look terrible. And this was

869
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: kind of a game. I think whatever you came into

870
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: it thinking about either team, you could come out of

871
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: it thinking that like any positive or negative you want

872
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: to see, you can see it. Because the Ravens, they

873
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: should have won in this game so easily, and they

874
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: just sort of let their foot off the gas. But

875
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles, you know, it's like they you gotta give

876
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: them some credit for sticking in there. It's like almost

877
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: their entire offensive line is is banged up or missing.

878
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: Wentz has been sacked twenty times, which is the fourteenth

879
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: most in NFL history through four games, and that's absurd.

880
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: And I saw that mark Ingram left this game too.

881
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: This seems like this was a rough and tumble back

882
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: alley fight. Yeah. On the subject of Wentz being so

883
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: up and down, I was checking out the Football Night

884
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: in America pregame show before we started in. Chris Sims

885
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: and Tony Dungee did a nice job diagnosing that final

886
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: two point conversion and they completely called out Carson Wentz

887
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: for as a quarterback, he should have been able to

888
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: read the Baltimore with the Baltimore defense was showing and

889
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: check out of the read option play that had no

890
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: chance of working, and he didn't, and it led to, uh,

891
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, their demise. So yeah, whence you know the

892
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: difference between wins this year and last year is that

893
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: last year he was the guy, the steadying force that

894
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: kept everybody above water. Uh, and they asked so much

895
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: of him and he delivered. This year when they need

896
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: him to be kind of perfect again, he's just he's

897
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: not and he's imperfect, and he's making mistakes. And I

898
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: can't speak too much more in the game, Greg because

899
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: I haven't checked out yet, but that it's week after

900
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: week that these mistakes killed him. Right. If the if

901
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens offensive last year had been here, this thing

902
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: would have been forty five to seven. I mean, the

903
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: Eagles got through their first six drives without a first down,

904
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: five three, and ounce in a fumble. But it was

905
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: very similar to the Bengals Ravens game, where the Eagles

906
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: defensive line controlled things against the Ravens offensive line. And

907
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: that's what I mean about, Like, whatever you came into

908
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: this game, you could leave it, you know, with it.

909
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: If you're a Lamar Optimists like me, you could say, well,

910
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: you know, he hit a couple of really nice third

911
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: longs and he ran for over a hundred yards on

912
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: scrambles on a bad day. You know, you still put

913
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: up thirty points, like that's pretty good. On the other

914
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: their hand, like their running backs got absolutely nothing. They

915
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: punted way way more than you would ever expect, like

916
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: when they're getting amazing field position at the end of

917
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: the game, a couple of times to just put it away.

918
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: It's like they go three and out and kick a

919
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: fifty five yard or with Tucker, which you know, you know,

920
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: great for Tucker, but it just they they've been on

921
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: even that's been consistent, but their defense, to be fair,

922
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: has been so difference making um that that's enough. Kalaias

923
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: Campbell today had three sacks on his own, four tackles

924
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: for lost, four QB hits. I mean, he has been

925
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: like the pickup of the off season. Who would have

926
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: known that would have worked out for Baltimore. Um for

927
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: it's time for the ringer to do comparison between Carson

928
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: Wins and like uh junior high friendship patterns, He's got

929
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: a new best friend every week. I've never seen a

930
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: quarterback like this where he takes guys like Travis Folgum

931
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: who can clearly play and just like focuses only on

932
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: him for a two week period or Greg Ward Jr.

933
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: For a two work two week. Dallas Godder just goes

934
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: from one guy to the next, and it feels like

935
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: he's only ever got that one go to guy you trust.

936
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean, how middle school of him? Right, And like

937
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: in his defense, Miles Sanders drops a touchdown high tower

938
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: on the very first Wentes throw the game. Could have

939
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: been an eighty five yard touchdown, just dropped. It was

940
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: right in the bread basket. So it's like it's it's

941
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: been a comedy of errors. I think their defense is

942
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: has enough people that if they somehow got healthier, they

943
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: could matter in this terrible NFC East. But what's the point.

944
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: If anybody wants to enjoy some great, cringe worthy memories

945
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: of what it was like to be a teenager in

946
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: high school, I highly recommend Pen fifteen on Hulu. That's

947
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: my random television recommendation. Show love that one, Ricky, That's

948
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: that's a great one. It is absolutely comedic, genius. And

949
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: my wife go ahead, No, I was just gonna say,

950
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: my wife is obviously once a teenage girl. It even

951
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: connects more with her. She's like, this is exactly what

952
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: it was, and I'm like, insane, insane. But the best

953
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: thing is is that they're in seventh grade, and it's

954
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: two adult women playing themselves as seventh graders, but they

955
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: casted regular seventh graders for the rest of the cast.

956
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: So it's these thirty year old women like acting like

957
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: middle schoolers with real middle like it is. It is genius.

958
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: That's why there's no kissing scenes in the show. Um,

959
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. Then it's the step Matthew

960
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: wants to throw Gus and Joe Carter Roy Lions ce

961
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: jack hocketson if the Lions had the league they deserve.

962
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: The bomb goes today because you know why, complete effort

963
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: body the Detroit Lions today. Uh complete. I won't go

964
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: we haven't seen one of those yet. Matthew Stafford connected

965
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: out a score to t J. Hockinson as he heard

966
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift announced his arrival in at back old hundred

967
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: and sixteen yards and two scores thirty four to sixteen

968
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: win over the Jaguars, who are once again quote Toms

969
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: petty free fallen out into nothing, Greg. This is the

970
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: kind of game matt Patricia needed to crank down as

971
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: butt temperature. You know what I mean, I do. I

972
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: mean it's funny that the Lions came out in this game,

973
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: and they played like Matt Patricia was their favorite guy

974
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: on Earth. Because there is a kind of an unfair

975
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: way that the media treats these situations, which is if

976
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: the Lions came out and they were flat, we would

977
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: be like they hate their coach. Well, if we're gonna

978
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: read into it that much like they love Matt Patricia.

979
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: Because their defense came out and they were just flying

980
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: all over the field. They were they were hitting the Jaguars.

981
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: They were making the Jaguars look terrible who could not

982
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: move the ball at all. Early in this game, I

983
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: was like, what you know to use marks? Where bath

984
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: salts are are they on in this I don't know,

985
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: just like the energy salts. It was they were like

986
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: the the editor absolutely there it. It felt like you

987
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: could make a Sessler call early even though it's the

988
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: Lions and I know they blow leads every time. It

989
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: was just like they are not losing this game. Their

990
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: defense just cooked up Minshew in the brain with the

991
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: different zone looks that they were doing, and and everyone

992
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: played better. The Lions offense wasn't even that good, and

993
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars made this look closer than it was.

994
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: That the Lions defense did all the work that they

995
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: needed to do two and far. You know there are

996
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: two and three they're not that done because they had

997
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 1: that by week, it feels like their season has been worse.

998
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: I feel like the Lions, but it's like two and three,

999
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: you're not You're not out of it, Lions. No one's

1000
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: behind this well. I mean I feel like I I

1001
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: went through my period where I was getting real hot

1002
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: on the Lions, and I was unmasked for that um

1003
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: on this show appropriately And I'm gonna wait another week.

1004
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: But it's nice for the team to break out of

1005
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: its identity, which is like we're gonna kind of reel

1006
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: you in with an early lead and then completely embarrass

1007
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: you and ourselves. I mean this you clothe to close

1008
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: the game. I like the way you phrase that, Dan

1009
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: like they've they've they've done something a little different this time.

1010
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: And and Minshoe looks a little worse every week. I'm

1011
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: getting a little concerned. His deep balls a problem. I mean,

1012
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: it hangs up there like like Philip Rivers throwing it now,

1013
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: except you know, min she's twenty three, and he he

1014
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: had a couple in this game, one where he had

1015
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: a completion, but the guy had to slow up so

1016
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: much for it, like they ended up not scoring on

1017
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: that drive, and then another interception where he just doesn't

1018
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: have he doesn't have that. He's probably playing himself out

1019
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: of a job because there's gonna be four or five

1020
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks taken like they are every year, every year,

1021
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: and he have to against all odds, have been something

1022
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: more than we've seen up to this point. He's he's

1023
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: a weird mix of skill sets. UM holds the ball

1024
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: longer than you think, checks down too much, UM, super

1025
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: accurate intermediate passer who like Greg says major issues on

1026
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: deep balls, and when I watch him, feels like UM

1027
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: a savvy backyard athlete, know, moving up to a higher

1028
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: neighborhood level where he can't keep up with guys like

1029
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Physically, I see him as like an evolutionary

1030
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, where he's gonna end up playing for fourteen

1031
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: teams start for that would be a great resorts. Well,

1032
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: maybe not at the level of Fitzpatrick in terms of

1033
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: putting up numbers and and having this level of longevity,

1034
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: but like I could see him winning a big Thanksgiving

1035
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: Day game in two thousand thirty as someone's backup pressed

1036
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: into action like he like he's gonna pop up here

1037
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: and there for years. I just don't know if he's

1038
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: their long term guy. There's time. We've all agreed on Gardener.

1039
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: We did it and DeAndre Swift pls lines rookie with

1040
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: plus rushing yards and two touchdowns in a game since

1041
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: some guy named Barry Sanders in n Maybe it's time.

1042
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: And I know Ricky has sandwiches on the line with

1043
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, maybe it's time to see the backfield in

1044
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: totality to the kid and not the progress stopper, Like

1045
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: that's what they wanted to do in the summer, and

1046
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: then it just didn't pan out and he got he

1047
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: had injury issues. You that awful Week one moment, and

1048
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: then the offensive coordinator fell in love with the entry

1049
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: and Peterson again. He hit two big plays, but he

1050
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 1: actually didn't play any different in terms of the amount

1051
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: of snaps in this game. Well, so I hope, I

1052
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: hope that they start playing more. No, no, I mean

1053
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: he hit big plays and he had a bunch of

1054
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: carries at the end because of the game, because of

1055
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: the score. But I hope they see this and they

1056
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: see him and then Golladay, who I didn't think looked

1057
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: himself before the bye. He was coming off a hamstring injury.

1058
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: He's got some juice. I mean, this offense needs juice,

1059
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: and so Swift Golladay. All right, there's there's two juicy

1060
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: guys given. And let's get Hawkinson to play like the

1061
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: number eight overall pick in the draft. There's room for

1062
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: for internal growth potential with this offense, just based on

1063
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: the gods were throwing out there, Swift and Hawkinson and

1064
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: and God speaking of fits magic practice up touchdowns, touchdown there,

1065
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Cephalo w q A N with the call Ryan

1066
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick through three short touchdown there is including the one

1067
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: you heard. They're at a derm smythe it's derm smythe time,

1068
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins coasted to a to zip win over

1069
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's Miami's first shutout of Gang Green since

1070
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: the nineteen two a f C Championship game, more more

1071
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: infamously known west as the Frame MCNEARI game, kind of

1072
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: the mud Bowl. Mark this one wasn't pretty, but West

1073
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: is right. We'll put a button on that one later. Mark,

1074
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: this one wasn't pretty, but the Dolphins are above and

1075
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: you know at their head of the Pats in the

1076
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: ANC East, right. I mean, this is one of those

1077
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: games that got reshuffled because of Corona and the Dolphins.

1078
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: You know, it might be easy for people not watching

1079
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: these games to say, you've just smacked the Niners and

1080
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: taking care of a bad Jets team. What are the Dolphins.

1081
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: I see a team that's getting into the quarterback better

1082
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: than they did last year. They have a little bit

1083
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: of a little bit of energy with their past rush.

1084
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard to measure at this week

1085
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: against the Jets. I think we said that every week.

1086
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: What what are you looking at with the team that

1087
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: plays New York but Miami after that early you know,

1088
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: scoring flurry these two teams combined, and I'm trying to

1089
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: think if I've if I've seen this before to go

1090
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: oh for nineteen on third downs before the Jets finally

1091
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: converted their twenty the game's twenty third down attempt, and

1092
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: it looked like the Jets we're gonna maybe we have that.

1093
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: I asked Ricky to pull sound of Fox calling that

1094
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: third down conversion by my New York Jets. Okay, down

1095
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: in four clocko pocket collapsing hangs in there any complete

1096
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: paramount our first third down conversion. Today, I thought they

1097
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: might stop the game for a moment. Take that ball

1098
00:57:53,320 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: the Canton. Good job, good job. Here's the problem, though, Dan,

1099
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: here's the problem, and that yes, that's there's a lot

1100
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: of problem. That's a moment to build off. I guess

1101
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: if you're the Jets. But it's followed up by a

1102
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards zack of Joe Flacco. I believe it

1103
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: was that. Yeah, and they it was. And they the

1104
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: Jets um over the second and third quarter combined um

1105
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: two yards passing, So we get it. And I think that,

1106
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, Dan, you you started tweeting about this, and

1107
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: I think that the patients that I would have for

1108
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: this entire coaching staff needs to end as soon as possible.

1109
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: One of the things that can seems to be most

1110
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: consistent on a team with no consistent positive aspects of

1111
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: their offense. Hideous penalty scenarios. I mean they are, they

1112
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: are awful with the flags, but it's not just that.

1113
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: It's the personal fouls. They had another three of them today,

1114
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: one or two of them completely egregious and unnecessary. And

1115
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: that's I don't think that's a little bit of Greg

1116
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: Williams DNA in there, I'm sure, but it just seems

1117
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: like a team that is devolving in terms of their

1118
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: test in these games. And I think to make a

1119
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: change at this point now it's not just like, hey,

1120
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: it's a luxury. It seems completely urgent to keep I

1121
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: think players safe, to keep players engaged. Um. And what

1122
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: is still a very long season ago during a really

1123
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: thorny Corona scenario, right and smack dab in the Tri

1124
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: State area, West headlock watch is on in Earnest right

1125
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: now with the Jets. Before the game, Fox lost already

1126
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: to Rumba. Yeah, and Fox is straining for the high

1127
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: notes on this and I'll explain why in a second.

1128
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: But at once, at one point they showed Gaye and

1129
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: Greg Williams both with their masks on, and it looked

1130
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: like Gaye was giving Greg Williams a mouthful um after

1131
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: Greg Williams and his presser UM earlier this week basically

1132
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: hinted very clearly that the defensive struggles this year can

1133
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 1: be put on the offense on some part and in

1134
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: some part, and um, so this is this is gonna

1135
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: happen West. I think the only thing for Jets fans,

1136
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: the only thing that they to give Jets fans, at

1137
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: least those two guys fighting to the death would be

1138
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: something fun. And on the subject of of death, not

1139
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: literal death. You gotta fire these guys. You can't. You

1140
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: can't keep doing this. And I know when I say

1141
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: that on Twitter now I have Jet fans are like, no,

1142
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: you got you don't get it. This is all on

1143
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: purpose because they want Trevor Lawrence. I want to go

1144
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: oh in six. No, no, no, that's not that's not

1145
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: how it works, because you owe it as an organization

1146
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: to have some sense of level of dignity too when

1147
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: something clearly isn't working and you are the laughing stock

1148
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of football and it's getting worse and worse, and like

1149
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Mark saying, it's devolving to the point where people can

1150
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: get hurt, and it's just you're not even competitive. You

1151
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: need to make the move just to be organization that

1152
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: is seen from the outside has some idea of what's

1153
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: going on in the world right now. And they and

1154
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: then they if they keep Adam Gates and he should

1155
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: be fired right now, and I kind of thought, and frankly,

1156
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: that's too late. There's no way you should keep Gaze

1157
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: through the end of the season. And you can't keep

1158
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Greg Williams either. You gotta get them both out of

1159
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: there and promote from within to just to get through

1160
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: this healthscape of the season. But enough is enough. You

1161
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: cannot keep these guys in the building. You can't keep

1162
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze is the face of your organization any longer.

1163
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: You can't do it. You've got Greg Williams as the

1164
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: biggest face of negative energy on the defensive side of

1165
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: the ball in the NFL over the past decade, and

1166
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze is now becoming the biggest face of negative

1167
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: energy on the offensive side of the ball over the

1168
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: past decade. In the end, both of them out of there.

1169
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: They're poison right now. They are poisoning your organization and

1170
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: people don't need to come to work in that negative

1171
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: energy every day. This is a rivalry game, or you

1172
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,479
Speaker 1: know it was a rivalry. I mean, the teams haven't

1173
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: been good for a while, but Dolphins fans gotta love

1174
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: the idea that Adam Gaze comes back and that his career,

1175
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, maybe ends in Miami against Gailey and Fitzpatrick.

1176
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: It's all very this strange a f C East Jets

1177
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins thing. It's like, it's like, how many more games

1178
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: one of the Jets have won over the last five

1179
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: years if they just kept Gaily and Fitzpatrick, probably a

1180
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: few more. I love, I love, I love the sordid

1181
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: underbelly of the a f C. East one little thing

1182
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: because this can't get lost and all the Jets stuff is.

1183
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: There was no cooler site than to uh who came

1184
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: in at the end, completed his first pass, completed his second,

1185
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: and you know they were just they were just milking

1186
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: out the clock. But then after the game, you know

1187
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the there's no fans there, so this is easy. Toua

1188
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: came out and just sat on the fifteen yard line

1189
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: alone in a totally empty stadium in his uniform and

1190
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: FaceTime his parents who were at the game, because you know,

1191
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,479
Speaker 1: we know what he's been through to get to this point.

1192
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Um a sunny aspect to what was really one of

1193
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: the gloomier football games I've watched in a while. That's awesome.

1194
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: And like Fitzpatrick on the sideline because there was like

1195
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: ten thoowl in the building raising his arms in the air,

1196
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: trying to get the crowd to be Louder when two

1197
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: came in the game, when you're winning twenty four nothing

1198
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: and the organization is going in the right direction, and

1199
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: you have the exact right veteran quarterback to be involved

1200
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: in that situation. Brian flores Uh and the brain trust.

1201
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: They're doing something right now. You just need to how

1202
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: to be able to play once it gets in there,

1203
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: because you know who we know can play. Justin Herbert

1204
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: who the Dolphins pick um? All right, this is the handoff.

1205
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of handoff, Freeman McNeil, you're right west a f

1206
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: C championship game, Jets Dolphins, Don Shula a dirty move,

1207
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: but also you gotta give him respect. Freeman McNeil was

1208
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league or right there

1209
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: at the time. It was a rainy, rainy weekend in

1210
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Miami at the Orange Bowl, and Sula told the grounds

1211
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: crew to keep the tarp off the field overnight because

1212
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: they wanted a wet track and they didn't want Freeman

1213
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: McNeil to be able to get going. And when they

1214
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: did that, Richard Todd, the Jets quarterback through two pick six,

1215
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: is I believe to a J do and well I

1216
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: do remember a J. Dewey. He Mark remembers, and I'm

1217
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: always playing with the shirt tail out backing down passes

1218
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: all the time. He was. He was a monster. Bod

1219
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: was the first football card I ever had, by the way,

1220
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: Mud Bowl Freeman McNeil game, a J. Dewey game anyway,

1221
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: was fourteen nothing Dolphins to the Super Bowl. All right,

1222
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: here we go, Chris Westling looking good, sounding good. We

1223
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: love you, brother. Now another handsome bald white man will

1224
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,959
Speaker 1: take your spot. It's great to be back. Thanks guys, Thanks,

1225
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: what's up, Shook, Let's uh, let's keep rolling, Ryan stepping up.

1226
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: Matt thought about it now, it gives ground, Gonna flip

1227
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: it down the field. It's called Jones Tolio ten five touchdown, Atlanta. Amazing.

1228
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Aw you hearing Western's voice. W z g C g C.

1229
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: They needed this. The Falcons are officially younger. We have

1230
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: a young re alert Falcons are younger as hell. Under

1231
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: interim coach Raheem Morris, Matt Ryan proup for three eight

1232
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: and four touches, including the fort yard stroke to Julio

1233
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: Joe Julio Jones and the Falcons crushed the flat lining

1234
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: bike and forty to twenty three for their first win.

1235
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Shook the Falcons have taken big leads on their opponents

1236
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: all season, it feels like, but this time they actually

1237
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: held onto Yeah, they held on, dude. It was powered

1238
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: by their defense, which you if you're a fan of

1239
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, you wish that would have happened. I don't

1240
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 1: know any of the times in the last five weeks

1241
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: they've played a game, especially in the second half, when

1242
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: you had leads in those games and just needed a

1243
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: turnover and maybe a substantial drive to put away one

1244
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: of those games. No, it happens the week after danco

1245
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: one gets fired, which adds the Falcons to an esteemed

1246
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: group that also includes the Houston Texans, who won their

1247
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: first game following the firing of their head coach this year.

1248
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: But it was a game that you know, the the

1249
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: defense got turnovers early and the Falcons produced points off

1250
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,959
Speaker 1: of it, notably getting a field goal in just before

1251
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: halftime to build a twenty and nothing lead going into

1252
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: half time and really having the vikings Uh in in

1253
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: a bind that they just couldn't get out of it.

1254
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: And then you know, for the majority of this year,

1255
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons have had a pretty strong offense. Now, people

1256
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: wanted Matt Ryan traded after last week, or Or wanted

1257
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: people to dive into their salary kept figure out how

1258
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: they could trade him, which would be a gigantic financial albatross,

1259
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: and it's really not feasible. And luckily for him, he

1260
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: came out and proved all those doubters wrong and we

1261
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,919
Speaker 1: had a great game. Thirty or forty passing, three seventy

1262
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: one yards, four touchdowns and a passer rain that makes

1263
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal dance a hundred thirty six point six a

1264
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: good game. Yeah, I know it's an it's an antiquated

1265
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: stat I noticed, but we use it anyways. UM in

1266
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: their first victory of the season, finally getting off the Schneide.

1267
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: One in five is better than O in six, but

1268
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 1: it's still one in five. Well, they I felt like

1269
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: they were really good. They were too good to be

1270
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: O and five. So I just like it when like

1271
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: the football universe corrects things, like for instance, TV away

1272
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: they were better than about seven teams. Like they they

1273
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: returned they have in the last two weeks, returned all

1274
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: five of the or five out of their six top

1275
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 1: defensive backs, Like players do matter, Like it doesn't matter

1276
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: when you get five starters back, but you gotta give

1277
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris a little chance here to go on a

1278
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: wild run and win. Coaching Well, and I'm gonna say

1279
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: that you're a hee Morris and you have to go

1280
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: into a game where both of your defensive line coaches

1281
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: did not join the team due to Corona scare. So

1282
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you're I mean, that's a whole position. If that sounds

1283
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: like something we would just brush off and be like,

1284
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: they'll be fine, but that completely changes your process during

1285
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: that day. Um, let's listen to Kirk Cousins, who was

1286
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: obviously had a nightmare game, cleaned it up with some

1287
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: meaningless scores, but still was a major problems here with

1288
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Cousins had to say after the game, the reality is

1289
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: if if the pace you know that I'm on in

1290
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: terms of the interceptions, if that were to continue, Uh,

1291
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: you know I won't finish the season. I won't, you

1292
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So, uh, there's a little bit

1293
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: of you know, you got improved, whether it's you know,

1294
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, them telling me, hey, we got improved or

1295
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: or them pulling me he got to get better. And

1296
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: that's the fifth time in his career has had at

1297
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: least three interceptions. Two of those five games have come

1298
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: this season. Happened in week to in Indianapolis, and Cousins

1299
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: has been a major problem. But you talked about I

1300
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,560
Speaker 1: talked about in the preview episode on Thursday Shook that

1301
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: coming off that stomach punch loss Sunday night to the Seahawks,

1302
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: you kind of could see this going either way where

1303
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: they were either gonna kind of build off the positives

1304
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: from that and have some sense of, um, you know,

1305
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: understanding the moment that is our last chance to get

1306
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: our season back on track, or they were gonna flatline.

1307
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: And that's what it seems like based on the final

1308
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: score in Kirk cousins tone after the game. Well, not

1309
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: having Dalin Cook definitely didn't do them any favors, but

1310
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: neither did the deficit that they built very early on.

1311
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: It kind of took away the running game, and if

1312
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: you look at their statistics, you know Alexander Madison led

1313
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: them in rushing with ten carries for twenty six yards,

1314
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: and he was non existent. It was basically all on

1315
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: the shoulders of Kirk Cousins. And let's face it, when

1316
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: you're a football team that wants to win in the NFL,

1317
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: you more often than not don't want to put the

1318
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: game on the guy that you guarante fully guaranteed his contract.

1319
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: Even though you did fully guarantee his contract, that's not

1320
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: the guy that you want to mean necessarily put out

1321
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: there to lead you to a comeback to victory at

1322
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: home or on the road, coronavirus or not. You know. Uh.

1323
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: And and so when they're in when they're in that situation,

1324
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 1: it's an uphill climb, and he just made it worse,

1325
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: saying and you think back to last week and that

1326
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: loss that they suffered against the Seahawks, and that was

1327
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: a team that was competitive, that was a team that

1328
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: was in the game, that was a team that was resilient.

1329
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: I mean they came back from they had this huge lead,

1330
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: they give up the lead, they go behind, they come back,

1331
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: they take the lead. You're like, wow, these guys are

1332
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: some fighters. They were not fighters at all today. And

1333
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Dan, last week might have been

1334
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: that point where you follow it up with a game

1335
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: like this and things could really go off the rails

1336
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Alright, Speaking of things that have gone off

1337
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: the rails, here's a recap of Washington at New York

1338
01:09:51,600 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: Giants transition and Alan calls out signal ring back group left.

1339
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: He's running stops now under pressure to just grows it

1340
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: into the end zone incomplete. So the Giants stopped him

1341
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: on the two pointer. The s s Riverboat Ron sank

1342
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: in the swamps of Jersey. The Washington football team opted

1343
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: to go for two down one point in the final

1344
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: seconds against the Giants, but Kyle Allen's passed billion complete.

1345
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Giants win same score Super Bowl Mark. I know you

1346
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: remember that one. It is their first win of the

1347
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: first win for Joe Judge as an NFL coach. Shook,

1348
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: we seem to see that this decision pop up every year.

1349
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: I feel like it's it happens every year at exactly

1350
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: October eighteenth. Also for I don't know, why where do

1351
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: you stand at the two point attempt when the p

1352
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: A t assures UoT? I mean, it depends on how

1353
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: much confidence you have, And consider Chock, where do you

1354
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: stand Shook, considering the fact that Ron Rivera turned to

1355
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen with some significant confidence, at least compared to

1356
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. I stand on going for the win, of course,

1357
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: and then if it fails, you have to own it.

1358
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Let's be aggressive. I mean if I was in that

1359
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 1: situation and probably kicked the extra point because Kyle Allen

1360
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: basically fubbled the game away a possession earlier and then

1361
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: led them on this drive down the field in the

1362
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: final minutes. They scored with a little over thirty seconds left.

1363
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: And suddenly you're thinking, maybe I'll tweet, you know, jokingly

1364
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: and also not jokingly, legacy drive Kyle Allen redemption and

1365
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: then he rolls out left and ball flutters out of

1366
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: his hand. I mean, this isn't Mark Rippion behind center.

1367
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: You're you're putting a lot on the shoulders of Kyle Allen.

1368
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: That's a nice little jab at Mark. And and in

1369
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Mark's defense, I will say New York officially has a

1370
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: win this season. It wasn't on the part of the Giants.

1371
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: It was the first win for I wasn't a part

1372
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: of the Giants, the first one for the city of

1373
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: New York. Well, the fans the Western New York will

1374
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: tell you that they New York has won many games

1375
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: this year and the Jets and Giants don't actually play

1376
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: in blah blah blah, don't care. Go on, Mark, Well,

1377
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I mean, this is probably

1378
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: would be one of those games that, um, forget the

1379
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 1: condensed mode. I'm just gonna watch the full broadcast of

1380
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: this and just marinate in it for three and a

1381
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: half to four hours. But I do think that the

1382
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: Giants defense has shown something the last couple of weeks.

1383
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: Guys like Kyle Fakral, who is a real human being

1384
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 1: like he has produced week after week. Am I overrating them? Well? No,

1385
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: I think that defense has improved a ton their average

1386
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: and they were one of the worst, right that still

1387
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 1: does that mean for years in a row for a

1388
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,759
Speaker 1: for a good reason. But I mean, if there's something

1389
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: to point to along with the victory, I mean it's

1390
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: it's been pretty consistent. They shookie though. Don't you gotta

1391
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 1: know your team, Ron Rivera, You you're going up against

1392
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: a Giant's offense that's thinks that your best player. Your

1393
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: best player is Daniel Daniel Jones running for seventy four yards.

1394
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: They don't have it, they don't have any offense. Otherwise

1395
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: you're a defensive team. The lab Raville magnifico for this

1396
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: entire Washington season, to me, was Ron Rivera's answer, uh

1397
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: for why he wouldn't take time outs earlier this season.

1398
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: When he said, well, you know, you don't want to

1399
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: get players hurt, It's like, I don't know. That's all

1400
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I needed to know about this Washington season. I just

1401
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: think he wanted to end this game. You didn't want

1402
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 1: anyone getting hurt and overtime. Yeah, I mean it was

1403
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: an ugly game, but the Giants were able to take

1404
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: the lead on a Take Crowder fumble return for a touchdown. Now,

1405
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,799
Speaker 1: I would guess that of football fans and most residing

1406
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: outside of New York City or wherever in Jersey they are,

1407
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 1: you ask, yeah, yeah, but defending on who you ask,

1408
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't know who Take Crowder was. I mean, it's just

1409
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 1: like you said, no, your team go for the tie,

1410
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: expect them to make a mistake. It's a battle of

1411
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: two bad football teams. I understand wanting mercy and wanting

1412
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: to get off the field, but at this point in

1413
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: the season, we're not even near the halfway point yet,

1414
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: go to overtime and try to For you, you didn't

1415
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: want to cover this game and overtime, so it was

1416
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: good for you. I mean it made for an easier

1417
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: transition for sure. This is how you get to the

1418
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: meadow lands from New York. You get on the Garden

1419
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: State southbound, take it down to Eggs, get off there,

1420
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: get on Route three. They'll lead you right into the stadium.

1421
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 1: You could also get off at one sixty three, or

1422
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: you can hop on Route seventeen. You have a lot

1423
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: of different options, but none of them are in New York.

1424
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: You know what's wild about that area? When you're taking

1425
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: the highway, all you see is in the distant these

1426
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 1: like just dilapidated, abandoned buildings that might have been hotels

1427
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: or casino hotel combos in the past, and there's just

1428
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: meadows around a little bit of swamp land. You hit

1429
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: the exit, you come around. Do you think the bus

1430
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: might go off? If you're on a team bus like

1431
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: I was with the Browns. And then you pull in,

1432
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: You cross through the parking lot and you see scores

1433
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,560
Speaker 1: of Jets fans all flipping you the bird at the

1434
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: same time. That sounds like a Springsteen song. You just

1435
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: and I gave us there and show he all right?

1436
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,799
Speaker 1: Let us Oh, by the way, our boy Crowder, Tay Crowder,

1437
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 1: did anyone mention he was Mr Irrelevant? No, he was

1438
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: not so irrelevant anymore. People to Sunday Night Football Sunday Night,

1439
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: and Cash is caught on the turning off to the

1440
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: races the touchdown. Randie Daily calls for the blitch and

1441
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: gets burned on a forty four yards fourth down past.

1442
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: How about that Jimmy g a week ago, pulled from

1443
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: the game limping around, can't make a throw. Well, he

1444
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: made three touchdown throws on Sunday Night Football, leading the

1445
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: forty Niners to win over the Rams. The Niners get

1446
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 1: back to five, three and three, and Mark, you know,

1447
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,560
Speaker 1: it's cliche to say the NFL is a week to

1448
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: week league, but it really is. And the Niners are

1449
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: the best example of that. Uh in this music super

1450
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: distracting for some reason. I don't know if it's the

1451
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: violins and entire instrumental orchestra. Anyway, mark the week to

1452
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: week nature of the NFL. The Niners look totally lost

1453
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: seventeen in this game. Garoppolo looks healthy, he's making a

1454
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: big throws in the defense, really played well against the Rams. Yeah,

1455
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: and and they mentioned it on the on the broadcast

1456
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: a number of times. But I think we talked about

1457
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: in our preview show that poor individual Brian Allen who

1458
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 1: was just utterly flamed by Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins

1459
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: a week ago a practice squad cover guy. It helped

1460
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: a lot to get Jason Varette played well, you get

1461
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Moseley back. They just had their secondary a little

1462
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: bit more locked down. But from the week to week

1463
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: nature of Jimmy g And it made me think, like

1464
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: watching this, like I get I get it. Our role

1465
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: is to come in and completely react to the most

1466
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: recent sample size of information that we have, and it's

1467
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: a big reaction. And last week it's is Jimmy g

1468
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: starting material X, Y and Z. But even tonight there

1469
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: was a little microcosm where you know they were stuck.

1470
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: They were it was like four straight punts to open

1471
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,640
Speaker 1: the game, and you see Jimmy g And reminded me

1472
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: of that Baker Mayfield throw misfire to Odell Beckham earlier

1473
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: in the year where he just missed a completely wide

1474
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: open kyla Us check. But he comes back and he

1475
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: converts with George Kittle and then he has that, you know,

1476
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: his hurt ankle. He runs into complete danger on a

1477
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: scramble to set up a fourth down field goal. It

1478
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: made nine. There's some good, there's some bad. There's some

1479
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: missing plays. There's some courage that's gonna win his teammates over.

1480
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: They did enough tonight. They're still really banged up. They

1481
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: lost Trent Williams. We don't know what's going on with that.

1482
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 1: Where he mosts on the sideline or did he come

1483
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 1: back all right? And most start was banged up for

1484
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 1: most of this game. So it's still really rough and

1485
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: tumble roster with a rugged schedule coming up. But a

1486
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: gutsy win against the Rams team that hasn't beaten them

1487
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: three in a row now, but so different when they

1488
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: are healthy, and they are healthier by a lot. So

1489
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: Deevo Samuel has been on the field a couple of weeks.

1490
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: First week, he was not really Deevo Samuel. Last week

1491
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: he was getting there. And now you can see it.

1492
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean he he set the tone early. Like it

1493
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: just reminds you of the forty Niners from a year ago.

1494
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: A creative running game and Kittle making huge plays on

1495
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: third or fourth down. Uh and most even though he

1496
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: sat most of the second half, he lit him up

1497
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: in the first half. And that's pretty much all the

1498
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: offense the forty Niners needed. Like it just it was

1499
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan game. Because Jimmy g didn't blow you away.

1500
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: And at one point he was thirteen for fourteen for one,

1501
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: nine nine, and it wasn't like he did anything out

1502
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 1: of um character, had to make any crazy throws. Uh.

1503
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: They they just one up front. They protected like everything

1504
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: that you were worried about. If you're a forty Niners

1505
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 1: fan coming into this game, you got rid of it

1506
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 1: and you you kind of like mine tricked on McVeigh too.

1507
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: It's like they went away from some things. Uh. I

1508
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: don't know. They have to feel really good to sort

1509
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: of own the Rams. Yeah. I think as much as

1510
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: this is a Kyle Shanahan game, it was also a

1511
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: bit of a Robert Solid game because Francisco's defense did

1512
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: a good job at bottling up an offense that had

1513
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: shown in recent weeks that it could get out to

1514
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: a hot start. There were there's at least two occasions

1515
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 1: this season in which Kared Goff not not not fat,

1516
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: not frazzled or not frazzling. Uh. Jared Goff started the

1517
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: game perfectly or or almost perfectly on two occasions this

1518
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: season that was not the guy today. I mean from

1519
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: the from the start he had troubles. Now you know

1520
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: they went down the field with a nice touchdown driving

1521
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 1: an excellent pastor Robert Woods, but for the most part,

1522
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: they could never really get into a rhythm. So for

1523
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: as much as they tatted on the broadcast, this is

1524
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 1: the matchup of two offensive masterminds, there was really only

1525
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: one offense that looked the part tonight. And you know,

1526
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 1: if you're a ramstand you're not too concerned, I guess

1527
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: because you don't really know what this team is so far.

1528
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't really think we have a huge barometer for them,

1529
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: or haven't really gotten a good litmus test for I'm

1530
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: so far. But this definitely wasn't their best showing offensively,

1531
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: and by the time they got it together later it

1532
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: was too late. An annoying game if you're a Rams fan,

1533
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: because this was there, This was very there for them,

1534
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: and the normally trustee combination Jared Goff to Cooper Cup.

1535
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was a a big aspect of this game,

1536
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: their inability to get on the same page. Cup got

1537
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 1: behind the secondary in the second half for what could

1538
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: have been and should have been a touchdown and Goff

1539
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: was maybe a touch late with a throw and then

1540
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: Cup looked the long wrong way got turned around incomplete. Uh.

1541
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: Then a little bit later the drop by Cup on

1542
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: a really well thrown ball by Goff that then turns

1543
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: into an interception. I mean, just those two plays alone,

1544
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about a totally different game. So I'm not

1545
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: panicking at all. If I'm um Sean mcveier. The ramsers

1546
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: four and two, they're still in very good position. But

1547
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 1: this was a game that it probably should have been

1548
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: closer than it was, and even you should have won

1549
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 1: this game. So you're just frustrated by your inability to execute.

1550
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Right they it was set up for a comeback in

1551
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: the second half. The Rams defense came out and, as

1552
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: Mark said, force four straight punts and then a long

1553
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 1: field goal attempt. That's that's when you come That's when

1554
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: you come back in a game. And the goal line

1555
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: stand you mentioned Cup contributed it to with a with

1556
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: a drop. But the play before that, green Law makes

1557
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: an amazing play. It's like Drake green Law only shows

1558
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: up to make like world changing plays on the one

1559
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: yard line. And then Varette uh makes a great interception

1560
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: and Varetta. I'm glad they highlighted how good Varrette has

1561
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: been this year because he's playing like a Pro Bowl

1562
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 1: and Fred Warner. I'm glad they highlighted too, because to me,

1563
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: he is the best middle linebacker in football. And they've

1564
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: got enough stars on their team that they can make

1565
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: up make up for these injuries. I was watching the

1566
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: Varette interception with Colton, who called it described it as

1567
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: an epic play, which I think is about as high

1568
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: a compliment as you can get from a nine year

1569
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,719
Speaker 1: old year old. I like when the kids start dropping

1570
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 1: in their own slang words like Jack has been taken

1571
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 1: to saying things are sick lately. I guess you're turning

1572
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: into a little person now, how about that? Um? All right,

1573
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: good stuff. It's almost midnight on the East Coast and

1574
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 1: Adam Gate still has a job. I'm not thrilled. I

1575
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 1: was really hoping that I would be able to take

1576
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 1: out of tonight's episode and week six the end of

1577
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 1: his reign of terror, but it looks like it will

1578
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: last for at least another night and potentially another couple

1579
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 1: of months. It's also almost midnight and Nick has work

1580
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 1: in about four and a half hour, so thank you

1581
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: for hanging around. It's like eight hours, nine hours, so

1582
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: I thought you were doing the old five am shift.

1583
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Is that is your microphone shook like a R two

1584
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: D two or something Star Wars related? What is that?

1585
01:22:55,479 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: It's a it's a blue snowball. Okay, Amazon, probably five

1586
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: years ago and it worked pretty well for them. I

1587
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 1: know you're moving. Did you pack your actual microphone and

1588
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 1: this one was just still loud? Or this now? This

1589
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: is the one I used for everything? And somebody commented

1590
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: on last week's show that it sounds like I was

1591
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: in like some sort of metallic chamber. So I don't

1592
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: know if it's my voice or the microphone or the factor.

1593
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we know people, Maybe we could talk to the podcast. Um,

1594
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, get your maire aps here and see if

1595
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: we can get you a mic expense. Hey, new place

1596
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: to live, new microphone upgrades, all over and shook. We

1597
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: just so you know, we're not going to talk about

1598
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: the situation with your living girlfriend and whether you should

1599
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: be opposing to her because she moved from California. That

1600
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't be real, Ohio, And you've already been dating for

1601
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: four years from l A to Cleveland and now you're yeah,

1602
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,520
Speaker 1: and now you're you know, getting a place together downtown

1603
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Uh, we're not even gonna talk about that

1604
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 1: anymore on the on the show, or at least not today.

1605
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,760

1606
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: to be discussed, no doubt. I'll say this in due time.

1607
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: And by that I mean it's only a matter of time.

1608
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,600
Speaker 1: It's not a question of if it's just when she

1609

Speaker 1: moved to Cleveland for you, Shook and loves it. I've
