And what we 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: like to do is start off with our takeaways from 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: week eight Rapaport. I'm gonna go ahead and start with you. 29 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: You know, sometimes we like to peel back the curtain 30 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 3: here and just give us, give you guys a little 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: glimpse into our lives. So I will do that right now. 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: On Sunday, Max, my oldest son, had a hockey game 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: at six o'clock, which is excellent timing if you are 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: watching football. So I was the dad in the stands 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: with my laptop or my iPad, I should say, watching 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: red Zone on NFL Plus. Great job NFL Plus, I 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: love it. People think I'm antisocial. I'm not antisocial. I'm 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: just watching red Zone anyway. So I watch Max plays great, 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: very happy for him. Good job Max. I watch all 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: the games, some good, some bad, and obviously the Bears 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 3: get to go ahead touchdown and at that point they're 42 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: heading out of the dressing room. So I put my 43 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: iPad away and I walked to the car, not a 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: big deal, like I saw this nice comeback from the Bears, 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: And then I put my iPad down and I happened 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 3: to look at my phone, and I have so many messages, 47 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: so many messages, and I'm like, there's only two things 48 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: that could have happened. One horrific injury to a great 49 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: young quarterback, please don't let it not be that, or 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: two something amazing. And it turned out it was something amazing. 51 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: And even if you had told me what it would be, 52 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: I still could not have imagined. By the way, I 53 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 3: will take the l on this because terrible job by 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: me putting the iPad away, knowing the game still had 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: time left, but I just did not think that would happen. 56 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: Something amazing is basically what the Commanders have right now. 57 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: And they have been through a lot. Their owner was terrible, 58 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 3: their franchise has been terrible, and even when they've had 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: things working in like a regular good fashion, like with 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: Ron Rivera and with Marty Herney, they still weren't really 61 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: very good. They were more like just kind of regular 62 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: and Okay, they have something amazing going now, And I 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 3: don't really have many takeaways except for I will never 64 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 3: turn a game off when Jayden Daniels has the ball 65 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: ever again. He is awesome. He should not have played, 66 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: he barely practiced. He looked just okay, except when he 67 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: looked awesome. What a time for the Commanders. And my 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: takeaway is like, this is the kind of thing that 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 3: every franchise would be rooting for forever. And it was 70 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: pretty cool to watch. Judy. 71 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: So I was in a restaurant in Fort Laudergal. I 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: covered the Dolphins game, and I managed to get to 73 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: a restaurant and I wanted to get to a restaurant 74 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 4: that had TVs so I could see the four o'clock 75 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: window games. And so you see the Bears go ahead, okay, fine, 76 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 4: and then I'm like, okay, this is a ridiculous hail 77 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: Mary attempt. All right, everybody in the restaurant stood up 78 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: and screamed like just screw, like just like oh my god, 79 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 4: that that that whole sequence contained multiples, right, Like, first 80 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 4: of all, like some at some point we should discuss 81 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 4: the bizarre play call a handoff to an offensive lineman 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 4: by the Bears, Like what, I don't even what was that? 83 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: That? Well? 84 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 4: Oh, I was terrible. 85 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 3: I appreciated in theory, but I do not, Oh. 86 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: No, not in that moment. Just score anyway, you know. 87 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: And then Caleb and then they scored the touchdown. You're like, wow, 88 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: great moment for Caleb. And then right the really smart 89 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: play to this to McLaurin on the sideline to get 90 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 4: however many yours that was thirteen eighteen whatever, you know, 91 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 4: to get them in range. And then man like, what 92 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: a play. And then I mean, we'll get to Stevenson. 93 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 4: I think, I guess I feel so bad about that. 94 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 4: But there was just so much going on there in 95 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 4: those last few minutes and I and the whole time, 96 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 4: I'm thinking, why aren't the commanders using their time outs? 97 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 4: They're letting all this time bleed off the clock. It 98 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 4: was just bonkers. And I agree with you, I will 99 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: never look away. It's sort of like watching Patrick Mahomes, 100 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 4: like I'll never look away from Jade Daniels again. 101 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: It was I was reminiscent of the Colorado Hail Mary, 102 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 2: if you had the deflection there with the old Cordell 103 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: Steward from years ago and just the ability to get 104 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: the football down there. Tony Romo, who was praised for saying, hey, 105 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: let's get the quick you know, thirteen fourteen fifteen. 106 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: Yard wasn't that obvious. 107 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry not to the Bears. 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: Me up like that. 109 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: Defend Sorry there, that's very fair. Don't team me up 110 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: like that. 111 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: It was it was, yeah, you got it, like he 112 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: couldn't throw it from where he was. Uh so you 113 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: got to get a little closer. The Bears were willing 114 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: to conceive that for some reason. But yeah, the the 115 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: and then it just amble to let them get down there, 116 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: to set it up to be in the right situation. 117 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes do you rush three to you rush four, 118 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: to you rush five? If you rush three, they give 119 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: you more people down the field. But and then just 120 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: to have the whole sequence where what's his face was 121 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: waving to the crowd early on that play there, Tyreek 122 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: Stevenson just not having the greatest the days he was 123 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: beat earlier in the game. But give him credit for, 124 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 2: you know, tweeting it out and saying hey, my bad 125 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: and talking to his teammates. It was just that, for 126 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 2: many reasons, a wild sequence at the end of the game. 127 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: And it's why we do what we do, and we're 128 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: glad it was flex to four to twenty five, so 129 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: everybody could see it right there. 130 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: I think everybody has like their recurring dream slash nightmare, 131 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: right like the scenario that you keep finding yourself in 132 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: over and over. One of mine is always that I 133 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: am playing in a football game. I either don't have 134 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: my uniform on or I don't know the playbook, and 135 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm just like thrust into the game and all of 136 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm always playing defensive back in these dreams. 137 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: And so watching every angle of Tyreek Stevenson where no 138 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: matter what camera you see, like all of a sudden, 139 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: he's just wandering in looking the wrong way like Malitch, 140 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's my dream. And then you turn 141 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: around and the play's going. It's made so much worse 142 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: by Matt Eberflus. Then today's say, yeah, he's the one 143 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be boxing out. Not only is he 144 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: not paying attention, he never gets in the correct position. 145 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: He stays out on the side and then tries to 146 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: make like the movie style running leap and instead tips 147 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: the ball up to the guy that he's supposed to 148 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: be handling. It's just and you you feel for him 149 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: on some level. It's also like what in the hell 150 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: are you doing? Like, how do you put yourself in 151 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: that spot? It's this confluence of events, you know, credit 152 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: to Jayden Daniels. You know, I tweeted it because Mike 153 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: brings up you know, Romo is saying, yeah, you want 154 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: to quick out and then throw it. He's also saying, 155 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: all right now, I put Marcus Mariota in the game 156 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: because Jade, he's throwing the ball right. It's Jayden has 157 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: beginning knocked around for three hours. He barely practice. He's 158 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: got a painful rib injury. That thing went sixty plus yards. 159 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: Didn't make it to the end zone, but it went 160 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: sixty plus yards in the air. So just for him 161 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: to have, you know, the literal and figurative intestinal fortitude 162 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: to make that throw after extending the play is pretty remarkable. 163 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: And you just have to say so much too about 164 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: just you know, the way that dan Quinn has flipped 165 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: the culture in that building, a guy who you know, 166 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: he interviewed for the Paris job. You know when they 167 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: when they hired. 168 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 3: Eberflush everybody for the Bear's job at that time. 169 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: Guys don't forget stuff like that. You watch the work 170 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: that John. 171 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: Dayton obviously well, we'll have to get to that in 172 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: a second, but go ahead. 173 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: Sorry, there is there is just a confidence level that 174 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: exists there. And yet is there luck involved in that play? Absolutely, 175 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: you literally need one member of the defense to be 176 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: waving and screen at the crowd instead of playing. But 177 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: the fact that you think good things for the first 178 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: time in decades, you actually think good things are going 179 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: to happen to the commanders, dude, And. 180 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 4: You know what, like for the like, I keep having 181 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 4: to catch myself because I'm like, oh, I shouldn't be 182 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: so excited about the commanders, because for twenty years it 183 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: was like I don't really want good things to happen 184 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 4: to the commanders, right, Like the dance Schnyder ear was 185 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 4: so bad that I would be like, I don't want 186 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: good stuff to happen to the commanders. Now I'm like, 187 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: good stuff is happening to the commanders, and it's okay 188 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 4: to be happy for the commanders. It's like, I'm really 189 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 4: happy for commanders fans who suffered a lot, a lot 190 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: the team was bad, it was embarrassing, the ownership was embarrassing, 191 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 4: and now, like you know, Dan Snyder is somewhere probably 192 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 4: on his yacht in the Mediterranean watching his franchise just sparkle, 193 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: and you think counting his money, probably counting the money. 194 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: But it's really awesome. 195 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 4: It's really awesome that it's happening. 196 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the in the pile of gold coins. Yeah, 197 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: something something along those lines. Mike, let me come to you. Uh. 198 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: Is Mike going to tell us his recurring dream? 199 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: No, well, feel free to give us a recurring dream. 200 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: But then all see your takeaway? Please? 201 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: I don't I don't dream anymore. I don't know what's 202 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: going on with me. 203 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: I might be dead. 204 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe this is the dream. Don't dream. 205 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: How do you tell the waking from the dream? That 206 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: was a line in Beautiful Mind? How do you tell 207 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: the waking from the dream? Uh? Let's yeah. So my 208 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: takeaway would be the game that happened after that in 209 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, Tom, we talked about it. I mean, 210 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: I guess the fact that they got it closer toward 211 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: the end and they had a shot at the end 212 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: makes it better. For a while, it looked like it 213 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: was going to be a runaway, another runaway against San 214 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers, and given Jerry Jones saying what 215 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: he's been saying publicly, which let's see, is Tuesday morning 216 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 2: Jerry morning or is it Wednesday morning? Every morning, very 217 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: morning he does his weekly radio Did he did he 218 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 2: talk after the game last night? I don't think I 219 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: saw any quotes from Jerry last night. 220 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: He doesn't talk. 221 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 4: He doesn't on the road. 222 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: Usually he doesn't talk on the road. I don't know 223 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: if that's true, because I've definitely had him. There is 224 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: no hard and fast policy when it comes to Jerry 225 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: Jones speaking to the media. We've established that. But he 226 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: does have a weekly radio show, so we're gonna hear 227 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: from I mean, I guess again the fact they tightened 228 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: it up in the end and had a shot and 229 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: makes it a little bit better. But now you're looking 230 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: at a team that's got a tough schedule, that's got 231 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 2: two teams in the division. Now, I mean, we thought 232 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: it was going to be the Eagles and everybody else, 233 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: But here comes Washington into the conversation. It's just making 234 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: things tougher for the Cowboys here as they try to 235 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: get themselves out of the situation. They just feel too 236 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 2: limited on offense, way too at Seedee Lamb in the 237 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: passing game and the running game is just nowhere to 238 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: be found. 239 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: I know they tried to establish it. 240 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 2: Maybe it was different if they were playing from ahead 241 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: the whole time, but they just don't have the team 242 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: right now to be playing from a head, to be 243 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: playing that kind of offense. So that's my takeaway. I 244 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: think the Cowboys are in big trouble here. Got to 245 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: figure out a way to turn it around and find 246 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: some more juice on offense. 247 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: First of all, my recurring dream is the only time 248 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 3: in college where I really didn't read the book was 249 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: Latin American Civilization. I cannot remember the book Latin American 250 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: SIEV and I literally had to write a paper without 251 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: reading the book, and it was the biggest ninemare. I 252 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: stayed up till like four in the morning. I think 253 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: I went like right to crew practice without sleeping. It 254 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: was a disaster. I got like a C or something 255 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: on a paper, which is a miracle, But that's what 256 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 3: I dream about. Sometimes I'm literally sitting in the class 257 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: writing a paper having literally no idea what happened in 258 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: the book. It's terrible. When I wake up from that dream, 259 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: I'm just it's miserable. I am probably wrong, but I 260 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: still think the Cowboys are too talented to be like this, 261 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: And I don't understand enough of what's happening to like 262 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: understand why they can look so bad at times and 263 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: so good at other times. Like that doesn't compute to me, right, 264 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: And like, I think what they've kind of done in 265 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: a weird way is take the positions that don't have 266 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: a ton of value, like third receiver and running back 267 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: and you know, tight end is sort of offagan onic 268 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: and they've sort of been like, oh, we'll make it 269 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 3: work with whoever, except those guys haven't really worked. Offensive 270 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: line hasn't quite come on like they thought. Even though 271 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: I know they're playing a couple of young guys, I 272 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: still think the Cowboys are too talented to be like this. 273 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: I just don't know when, Judy, they're actually going to 274 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: show up. And like, I don't think it's going to 275 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: be a disaster, but could I see like an eight 276 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 3: to nine Cowboys season where they started get an extra like, yeah, 277 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: it's looking like it's possible. 278 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 4: Well, but that's kind of a disaster. Look, here are 279 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 4: the next. 280 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 3: Four games that is disastrous. 281 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: Falcons, Eagles, Texans, Commanders. So that's a tough I mean, like, 282 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 4: it's hard to see what a get right game would 283 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 4: be in there. Last night, the Cowboys seem to be 284 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 4: like grasping onto the idea of they still have five 285 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 4: of their six division games in front of them and 286 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 4: so they could still you know, make noise in the division. 287 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 4: But as Mike pointed out, like that's sort of assuming 288 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 4: that they're going to roll through the division, which certainly 289 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 4: does not look like it's going to be an easy 290 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 4: thing to do because listen, I thought that the Eagles 291 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 4: would be the team in this division. The Commanders are 292 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 4: clearly a problem now. So they've still got those games. 293 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I don't know what the Giants 294 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 4: will be by the time they play them again. But 295 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 4: I mean the sort of the idea that like the 296 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: Cowboys can look at these division games it's like, yeah, 297 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 4: we're gonna you know, we can dominate the division is 298 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 4: just folly. Like, no, they are not a shoe in 299 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 4: to win any game at this point. The way they're playing, 300 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 4: they just seem I mean, it's like c Ede Lamb 301 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 4: and then what like, what is the other option? They're 302 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 4: not running the ball, they can't stop the run. It's 303 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 4: the same thing every week. We say, is throwing interceptions. 304 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: It's it's just it's something is off about this team. 305 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: The vibe is really off about this team. And every 306 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 4: week that it gets worse, you know, you sort of 307 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: wonder where it's headed, and I can't. I can't envision 308 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: it heading anywhere good. 309 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: I mean this this Stefan d uh the Trayvon Diggs 310 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: thing amazing where he went after a reporter for tweeting 311 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: about him during a game. I don't know like what 312 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: it actually means, but I. 313 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Helped you think that play was bad. I went and 314 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: looked at it because I saw the headlines this morning, 315 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: like it's him, you know, he he's he's the one 316 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: who pushes him out of bounds. I don't know, like 317 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: because he's not in a dead sprint. The whole time, 318 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't think that was You need your 319 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: best players and your highest paid players to play their 320 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: best to win in the NFL. That's just the reality 321 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: of it. Right now. Dak has not played anywhere close 322 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: to weighted last year CD. Last night was the best 323 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: game that he's had. But it kind of feels like 324 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: it's just they're still trying to get that part going. 325 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: And Michael Parsons hasn't been on the field. I mean, 326 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: that's the RPS. But when Michael Parsons gets back, I 327 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: still think this is a Cowboys team nobody is going 328 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: to want to see. But short term, you just, yeah, 329 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: you want a little bit more out of them. And 330 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: again we talk about you know, coaching and strategy and 331 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: all these different things, but you need your best players 332 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: to play good. Dak hasn't played well. CD hasn't played well. 333 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: Mike hasn't been on the field. Uh, same thing, And 334 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: be said for the Jets. Imagine for your takeaway, is this. 335 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: A good transition to the Jets? Tom, Yeah, they're The 336 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 4: thing about the Jets now that I wonder is that 337 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 4: there are no more threads to pull. I mean, they 338 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 4: have everything you could possibly think of to spark a team, 339 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 4: almost everything they have done, and it is having no effect. 340 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 4: And so I don't know where they go from here. 341 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: To lose to the Patriots, a team that they should 342 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 4: have dominated, a team that's own coach called soft last week, 343 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 4: to lose and to let Jacoby Brissette drive down the 344 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: field is just I mean I was watching it on 345 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 4: my phone while at the Dolphins game, and I just 346 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 4: could not believe they were going to lose that game. 347 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: They should they should have had that game in hand 348 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 4: all along. And I just don't know. Again, I don't 349 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 4: know how this gets better because the Texans are coming 350 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 4: in on Thursday night and that's probably not going to 351 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 4: be a great scene on a Halloween in Metlive Stadium 352 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 4: for the Jets. I have a feeling the Jets fans 353 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 4: that do show up will not be happy. 354 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: Do they allow Masks study because Mask he could handle 355 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: some things? 356 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is this is you know, going 357 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 4: down very poorly. And again, I mean, Aaron Rodgers is 358 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 4: not playing well. You heard I can't remember which of 359 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 4: the Patriots defenders said he you know, he doesn't look right, 360 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 4: that he's not himself. Clearly that's true, right, clearly, that's true. 361 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't know what else they can 362 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 4: do to anything that they haven't done already. 363 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm so. I was watching I was watching 364 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: Jeff Oulbrook's press conference today and he was asked if 365 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 3: he's gonna give up play call? And I understand, And 366 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: it feels to me like this is sort of what 367 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: you ask when you don't know what to ask, which 368 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: I'm not saying anything about the reporters, like ask all 369 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 3: the things when the team has a horrific loss. But 370 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: who else would it be, Like they already fired the 371 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: other defensive guy. This is the guy who's already coordinator, 372 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: who's pretty good, like who was already calling the plays? 373 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 3: Like who else? And I think that's one thing that 374 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: sort of happens. And I don't know if anybody like 375 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: cares or feel sorry for the Jets or whatever, but 376 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: like when you fire a head coach, it basically strips 377 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 3: the rest of the staff and like waters down their 378 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 3: time or whatever. That's not the right word, but like 379 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: it it makes it harder for them to manage whatever 380 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: they're doing right, and time is really an issue. It's 381 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 3: like when the Browns went away from Sevanski for to 382 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 3: call the plays and whatever, he got a lot more 383 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: time he could spend time with the rest of the team. 384 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 3: He was in defensive meetings. It helps to the Jets, 385 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 3: it's the opposite. So it's like, I have no idea 386 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 3: where they go here. I just don't know that there's 387 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: any answers because it's not like stripping Jeff Ulbrick of 388 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 3: play calling us. You're going to give it to somebody. 389 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: I have no idea. I thought out more. 390 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: That was unmuting is Mike was not someone flushing the toilet. 391 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: I just want to make that clear. I heard right there. 392 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, go ahead, go ahead, Mike. 393 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: Why did me U muting sound like a toilet? 394 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: I heard like this big sucking noise, and I just 395 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: wanted everyone might be listening to the podcast now watching 396 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: the video to know. 397 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 2: Usually the usually the sucking noise is when I start talking, Uh, 398 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: the Texans on Thursday. Somehow the Jets are favored in 399 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: this game. So I saw, yeah, I don't I don't 400 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: get it. Fine, whatever, let's say they win. Let's say 401 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 2: the favorites win. Okay, Jets win that game. You got 402 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: the Cardinals on the road, you got the Colts at home, 403 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: then you got a bye week. Seahawks, Dolphins, Jaguars, Rams, 404 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 2: Dolphins again with the Bills in the middle. They're like, 405 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: there's a lot of non playoff teams, Like, I can't 406 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: believe I do it. It's a weekly exercise trying to 407 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 2: see my way out of this, trying to see the 408 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 2: Jets way out of it. Unfortunately doesn't happen with everybody 409 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: acting kind of sleep They look like they're sleepwalking. They 410 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: look like they're playing sleepwalking. They like they're talking and 411 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: interacting with each other like they're sleep like. Everybody's kind 412 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: of looking at each other like who's going to be 413 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 2: the one to kind of jump up and grab and 414 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 2: Rodgers is not a raw, raw guy. Rodgers is gonna 415 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: do it with his performance. I'm not saying it's going 416 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: to be a speech. They've had their players meetings, They've 417 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: said they want to be a player driven team. Usually 418 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: player driven teams play a little bit more passionately, act 419 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 2: a little bit more passionately. I just can't believe every 420 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: week the one that makes the most sense affiliated with 421 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 2: the Jets is Rex Ryan sitting there. 422 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 4: I'm like, that's what. 423 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: They need, not necessarily, but that attitude and that swagger 424 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 2: that they used to Jets used to come in and 425 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: used to make it hurt physically. This team is not 426 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 2: doing that. I don't know when it's gonna come. I 427 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: don't know how it's gonna come, but they need to 428 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: do it, and they need to do it quickly. 429 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: They are averaging over three hundred and fifty yards a 430 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: game on offense. They're averaging like twenty points a game 431 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: in these past three games since Solo is fired. Even 432 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: though they've missed like almost every field goal, they're running 433 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: the ball better. It's not like the offense is just bad. 434 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: But you're expecting Aaron Rodgers to elevate the level of 435 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: everybody around him. It's not really happening. You make a 436 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: big trade for DeVante Adams, it just doesn't have a 437 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: huge impact. You finally talked Hassan reddickt into coming back. 438 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: You played I think twenty six snaps and registered zero 439 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: statistics in that game. This is it? Thursday night? Is it? 440 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: Because if you lose that game, we might be waking 441 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: up Friday morning and going, Okay, the buyers the whole 442 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: time might need to be sellers and fast. My big 443 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: takeaway out a weekend eight came out of the game 444 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: that I was at in Cincinnati. One that for anybody 445 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: who just saw the final score, which I believe was 446 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight to seventeen, like that was not indicative of 447 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: that game. It was tied at seventeen late third quarter. 448 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 3: Help, that was a good. 449 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: Game down and then the Eagles right there, yeah, okay, 450 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: thirty seven is that right? 451 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 3: All right? Close enough? 452 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: All right, So. 453 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: I like here, You're like, was that right? Weren't you there? 454 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: You haven't covered a game in a long time on TV. 455 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: He was going, and you're hauling it down to the 456 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: bowels of the stadium to get onto the field and 457 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: trying to run someone out like the final score is irrelevant. 458 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: I just knew, second, Tom, can you walk us through 459 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 3: the logistics of how you pulled off the twenty minutes 460 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: before the game interview? Because I was like, you were 461 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: literally like it looked like you were on the field 462 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 3: and pulled the dude out of the huddle. 463 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: And give them a shot. 464 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 3: Give Emily a shout out. 465 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Emily Parker was great. We were supposed to have T. 466 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: Higgins was supposed to be the pregame interview right at 467 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: the end of warm ups. Well, then it becomes abundantly 468 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: clear before kickoff. T. Higgins is not coming out here. 469 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: He's not gonna be doing the interview. I was talking 470 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: with Emily and just said, like, you know what about 471 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: like like Kasiki, and she was like, I bet he'd 472 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: do it. So she just walked up to him in 473 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: warms She's like She's like, yeah, he'll do it. So 474 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: they go through their entire warm up. They're coming off 475 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: in pads, going to the locker room for the final time, 476 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: and he just rolls up. We rolled on the interview. 477 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: It was twenty minutes before kickoff, and Kasicki was great. 478 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: He had a he had a big game too. He 479 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: didn't get in the end zone, so we didn't get 480 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: a Gasicki gritty. 481 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 2: Didn't she say to you like, Kasicki's a guy to 482 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 2: watch today, Like she called that he was gonna have 483 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: a big things. 484 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, give credit, correct and so that. Yeah, so that 485 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, great, great work, great great pr in there. 486 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: Uh did not work out in the end, obviously for 487 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: the Bengals, because the Eagles pulled away down the stretch 488 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: right after the Bengals had scored that touchdown to tie 489 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: it up. He came back, Jalen hit a big shot 490 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: to DeVante Smith, and I just I walked away from 491 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: that game not saying like, you know, what's wrong with 492 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: the Bengals, like we all know personnel wise, like defensively, 493 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: they just they don't have what they ideally would have offensively. 494 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: It's the second time that d Higgins has suffered an 495 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: injury during the practice week, so you're changing your whole 496 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: game plan that's all based around your two best weapons 497 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: on the perimeter, you know, in the forty eight hours 498 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: before kickoff. That's that's a hard you know, that's a 499 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: hard thing to do. But the Eagles, when you just 500 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: watch them live, everybody, you know, I get it. The 501 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: Eagles are always in the eye of the tiger and 502 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: everything is all about like what's wrong with them? And 503 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 1: you know, every loss is this calamity. It didn't have 504 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith and A J. Brown when they were playing bad. 505 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: There are five and two teams that when they've had 506 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: their full compliment of their skill position guys, it's been 507 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: pretty darn impressive. And they were really good in that game. 508 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Saquon had a quiet hundred yard in that game. 509 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: Do this just makes you these plays. 510 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 3: A J. 511 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: Brown is a is a total setter type of guy. 512 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: And you want to say something, Uh, yeah, I wanted 513 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 3: to say that. I'm thinking of the Eagles game and 514 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: there were plenty of like great deep passes to those 515 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: really really good Egles receivers. I'm thinking of one in 516 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 3: my head. I'm just not sure who caught it so 517 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: good might probably was it the in the end them 518 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 3: in the end zone right right, and then I'm thinking 519 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 3: of the Cowboys and Dak literally put it in Turpin's 520 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: hands on the sideline like thirty yards down the field, 521 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 3: and it's amazing, like everyone's killing the Cowboys and obviously 522 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: Egos had a great game, so it's sort of like 523 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: he makes that catch, cowboys are driving like literally put 524 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 3: it on his fingertips. Anyway, it's just a thin margin 525 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 3: for her I was thinking about. 526 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: So at any rate, I walked out of there going, 527 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles, as much as they've been you know, 528 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: kicked around here, they're a five and two team that 529 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: they're right there. They're right there at the commanders up 530 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: at the top of the nftu's division. You know, they're 531 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: a dangerous theme only there's any question about it when 532 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: they play their game like they did yesterday. And Lane 533 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Johnson said that to me last week. He said, our 534 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: identity should be running the football and play active. Now 535 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: that they've got those receivers back, they're doing that and 536 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: pretty good just walking them live. Maybe you were in 537 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: Miami for two a tongue of Biola the return a 538 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: success with regard to you know, came out seemed like 539 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: he was overall throwing the ball. Well, I know he 540 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: undergrew that one deep ball to Tyree. But take me 541 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: through that day, milet in your microphone. Uh maybe through 542 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: the day down there. 543 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: That's not me, Yeah, I. 544 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 4: Think it's you. Well whatever. Anyway, So the day, I 545 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 4: think the feeling right was like of immense relief. I 546 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 4: asked Mike McDaniel if he felt relief, and he said, well, 547 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: I wouldn't use the word belief because I you know, 548 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 4: football is football. That would suggest that I was nervous, 549 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 4: except like everybody in the building was like sort of 550 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 4: holding their breath hoping that Tua would just get through it. 551 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 4: And I thought, like everything was summed up on that 552 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 4: scramble to a you know, towards the sideline, great run, 553 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: like Tua looks like Tua, and he slid, and he 554 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: slid him plenty of time right like the defense was 555 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 4: closing and to a slid, and the crowd erupted like 556 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 4: it was the biggest cheer of the day, like everybody 557 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 4: stood up and chanted his name for a slide. And 558 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 4: I thought this like sort of sums everything up right, 559 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 4: like he's playing well, and like all that's on anybody's mind, 560 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 4: including the fan base is like, just don't get hit. 561 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 4: They did a really good job of of having a 562 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 4: game where he just didn't take many hits. He was 563 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 4: getting the ball out so fast. He got sacked once, 564 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 4: but even that was sort of like a pillow soft hit. 565 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: He just didn't get hit, and so that was a relief. 566 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 4: The problem was that the team couldn't hold the lead. 567 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 4: The defense, which had played really well like the last 568 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 4: two weeks, to not play particularly well, especially down at 569 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 4: the end. Kyler looked fantastic, as did Marvin Harrison Junior, 570 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: WHOA I don't think we have to talk about their 571 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 4: connection anymore. They seem to be just fine. But basically 572 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 4: I walked out of that stadium thinking like, Okay, he 573 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 4: got through that, and I thought, you know, his comments 574 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 4: after the game, I thought he was more riled up 575 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 4: last week when he talked to reporters like he sended 576 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 4: a little chippy after the game. Yesterday, I thought he 577 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 4: sounded more settled, like he knows that he has to 578 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 4: change the way he plays. And yes, he has played 579 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 4: one way since he was like in high school, and 580 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 4: it's just not sustainable in the NFL. If he wants 581 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 4: to be on the field and he knows that, and 582 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 4: so he just has to change. 583 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: I just that team needs to be more explosive if 584 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: they're going to be a contender. And it's like it's 585 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: it was his first game back and getting comfortable, you're right, 586 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: you you know, maybe settling down knowing he had that 587 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: first game under his belt. But now it's got to 588 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 2: be Okay, let's get back to this explosive offense that 589 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 2: we used to be and putting up forty to fifty 590 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: points a game if they have to for that style 591 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: of game. We're not seeing that from that team just now, 592 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: and that's why they put themselves in a position to 593 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: drop that one yesterday. So maybe we'll see that now 594 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: that he's got that first game under his belt, that 595 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 2: first slide, and that first understanding of how he has 596 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: to play moving forward. 597 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 3: You know, the division is kind of odd. I mean, 598 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: the Bills are so good, the Patriots are where they are, 599 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 3: the Jets are where they are. There is still some 600 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: wins there for the Dolphins. This is not the team 601 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: I think we all thought. And yes, I mean they 602 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 3: are putting up a lot of points, but the fact 603 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 3: that the defense, like you guys said, let the Cardinals come. 604 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 3: All the way back was disheartening and it is getting 605 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 3: late early 606 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: I would say Chiefs Lions Jordan Love All the news, 607 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: Part two of the Insiders, So go ahead and listen 608 00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: to watch of that right now
