00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: you have just like a cardboard paperinger. That's another way

Speaker 1: to go. It's a valet ticket. Um. You literally you

Speaker 1: human sweat gland. Do you want to see it? Really?

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: Do you want the public to know that I'm just

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: being open about it. I mean, the public is about

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: to find out. They're learning. It's the one day that

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I've wore a second layer in like nine months. It

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: happens to be. As soon as soon as I fixed

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: the refrigerator, I'll get in there engineering and listen check

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: check off your list as slowly as you desire. Yeah. Wait,

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: you didn't fix the refrigerator yet. No, I'm not a mechanic.

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: We've understood that. I think we covered this ground. You

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: were supposed to reach out to someone that could fix it. Yeah,

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: I did. What do you want? I followed? I even said,

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: following up on this last email. Yeah, sorry, you look

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: good though. There's the camera and and you can watch

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: this on every again every Thursday. Our preview show is live.

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: How fun is that on NFL dot com dot com

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: eventually be up on YouTube. I think it's streaming on

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: YouTube as well. Live on YouTube. A shadowy league figure

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: just put it thumbs up. I've actually I'm checking on

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: the YouTube length and it currently currently four point two

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: million viewers. So the show is taking off very good.

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: I feel like that will be good for the dual

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: contract negotiations. You'd think write that number down, all right? Hey,

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: so this is the week three preview episode. As we hinted, um,

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: we will be instead of putting the Thursday night recap

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: the game between the Titans and Jacksonville at the top

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: of the show and putting the show out later mini

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: pod coming up later tonight. Uh and the and this

45
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: episode will come up earlier than it and it ever has,

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: which is a great thing. I mean, finally giving one

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL's great rivalries, it's due its own podcast, Titan.

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: It is a perfect way to kick it off. I

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: think it's like of the Thursday night games in history.

50
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: And can we do a little house keeping that you know,

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: we had rich eyes and on the other day, um

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: he we couldn't record until about you know, four pm Pacific,

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: which is seven pm Eastern. I got a lot of

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: tweets saying that I'm a bad producer because I don't

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: get the show up in time. And you know, every

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: can we all stand together and and sometimes our schedules

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: come up into things you know that we all agree

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: on together. Right, But you know today the Thursday show

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: is going to go right up after it's live, so

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: you can count on that Tuesday, you know something's come up.

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: First of all, you're a wonderful producer of all. Ignore

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: the idiots, right, you don't want you're kind of sending

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: a loud message to them that that they're going to

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: get a response if they keep bugging you, so quit

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: it and just block them. Another thing to know, we're

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: about five minutes into the show. Three plus have been

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: focused on the Erica cam with just Erica, you know,

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: announcing her announcements. As I said, Erica, you know, when

69
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: it comes to fans that get on you, don't let

70
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: the bastards grind you down. That's important. We support you

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: all right before we get into the first game. Uh

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: and the draft um. Two bits of housekeeping. First of all,

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: total disgrace. Last week we went oh and four locking

74
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: our games. We're supposed to be professionals and this isn't

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: good enough. And I speak for myself as much as

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: I speak for the whole team. We will be better

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: and week three guaranteed at least one in three. I mean,

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with how I how I fared. I don't

79
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: you picked the Giants. You need to be better to Mark,

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: we all need to. I think it would be just

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: as special and just as much of an accomplishment after

82
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: winning two times in a row to go oh in

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: sixteen or in seventeen. That would be why you picked

84
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: the Giants last week all right, now we're starting to

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: figure it out here we go. All right, now that's

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: the first bit of housekeeping. Second bit, West, you and

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: me first pick. As a gentleman, I'll defer to my elder.

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to have the first overall pick? No,

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: you can take it, all right? So the old juice

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: will pick first, then West, then Mark, then Greg. Right,

91
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: makes sense? All right, So let's get into it, and

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I will make the first selection. It is an easy

93
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: one for me. Okay, yeah, this is live, very pregnant.

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not so easy. Um, I will with the

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: first pick. Oh yeah. Ravens at chiefs Lamar against Mahomes. WHOA,

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: that's a layup, and it's an exciting matchup for the

97
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: obvious reason that Lamar Jackson Well, maybe nobody's gonna break

98
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: through the way Patrick Mahomes last year did and winning

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: the MVP in his first season as starter, Lamar is

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: off to like the type of start that, besides carrying

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: fantasy teams to championships, um really makes the Ravens a

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: totally different team and reframes the way we looked at them.

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: We look at them now compared to even three weeks ago.

104
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: So after a couple of layups and we'll say it's

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: laps at Miami. Uh. In week one, Week two they

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: had the home game. Who they have in week two

107
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: is Cardinals took care of business there. He flashed again,

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: especially with his legs. Now he goes on the road

109
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: to Arrowhead and I cannot wait to see how Lamar

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: Jackson looks in this setting. This is a beautiful game,

111
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: and I'm pumped with the number one overall pick. I mean,

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: this game is so good I'm just gonna watch it anyways.

113
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't care that I'm not assigned to it. Ultimately,

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: there's some you know, Bills Bengals, you're getting short shrift.

115
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this game should be put on that it's

116
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: it's a crime. This game's at ten am out here

117
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: in one pm across the country. It should be on

118
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: national TV everywhere because we haven't seen there literally has

119
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: never been a matchup like this in Week three in

120
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: NFL history. Just there passing stats, for what it's worth,

121
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: are the greatest ever in terms of you know, seven touchdowns,

122
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: no interceptions, and the completion percentage, the amount of yards

123
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: that they have. But it's just the entertainment value that

124
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: I watched this sport to be dazzled and Lamar Jackson

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: right now. We knew the eight yard out where he

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, fakes the handoff is the easiest play in

127
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: football in terms of him running to the sideline, But

128
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: we did not expect him to be dropping dimes into

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: tight coverage on some sideline routes. That is surprising. We

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: didn't expect them to be dropping you know, beautiful touch

131
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: passes over the top of zone defenses where it gets

132
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: it over the linebacker in front of the defensive act

133
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can do it every week,

134
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: but it shouldn't be that shocking that a guy who

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: was twenty one years old as a starter is improving

136
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: dramatically in his second season. And it's a joy to watch.

137
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: I get a kick out of John Harbaugh after a

138
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: few years of not having a dominant team, really feeling

139
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: himself this year. Yeah. Shregs at halftime asked him, you know,

140
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: are you concerned about the Cardinals They came back, you know,

141
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: they had that big comeback last week, and he said,

142
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: that is not on anybody's mind over here. We're only

143
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: concerned about our own domination. And they didn't really dominate

144
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: in the second half. But the in the fans are

145
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: kind of like John Harward. They seem so crazy excited

146
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: and so like overwhelmed it because they've never seen an

147
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: exciting offense in Baltimore. It's a totally new phenomenon. I

148
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: think that's it. The competent shift is from late period

149
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: health adult Joe Flacco to Lamar Jackson. And it's to me,

150
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: this is the what If Bowl for a huge chunk

151
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: of teams around the league, because last year was here's

152
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: all the teams that are struggling on offense that could

153
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: have drafted Patrick Mahomes seasons ago, instead of the Chiefs

154
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: trading up with John Dorsey to get him and making

155
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: the move and trusting him and everyone that questioned Patrick

156
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes heading into year two when a few people thought

157
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna blow up and most didn't. And

158
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: the what if both for everyone that waited on Lamar

159
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: Jackson thinking he wasn't worth the first round pick. What

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: if I mean, what if the Jets or Brown's had

161
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: even taken Lamar Jackson. He has transformed Baltimore's offense to

162
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: such a degree and they have the perfect parts around

163
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: him right now. And I love that the anyone that

164
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: thought he's going to break down if he's not using

165
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: his legs, if he's forced to throw. They last week's

166
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: showed they can use his legs when they need to,

167
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: but they didn't in Week one, and I know it

168
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: was the Dolphins, but in general, he's grown as a

169
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: passer in ways that I think was unpredictable to most.

170
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: And the team is as dangerous as any team in

171
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: the a f C. Well, we want to see him

172
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: against better competition in terms of the defense, and I

173
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: think that the Chiefs will be better competition. They're not

174
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: a great defense, but I think Spagnolo will throw a

175
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: little more at there, and I don't think they're at

176
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: the low level right now. As Dan fixes my collar

177
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: digital you don't see that on most shows, where someone

178
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: will reach over and just another man. There's no commercial

179
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: breaks here. We need to on the fly. I like it.

180
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: It's it's ad lib at its finest um. The throw

181
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: that really got me was that third and long, and

182
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: we did touch on it on the Sunday Show, I believe,

183
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: but it's worth bringing up again. Lamar Jackson the guy again.

184
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: The storyline, Greg you were You did a good job

185
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: with this over the summer. You were pounding the table

186
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: that Jackson was a guy that could be a pastor,

187
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: that could thrive, uh and in fact go supernova in

188
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: year two if things went the right way. The throw

189
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: he makes to Hollywood Brown on third down to ice

190
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: that game against the Cardinals is the type of throw

191
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: I just did not think would be in his arsenal

192
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: this soon or ever. Uh, And it just takes the

193
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: there's no there's what what Mike old Michael Jordan's line

194
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: that the roof has no ceiling? That's where I am

195
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: right something like that. This is an exciting game because

196
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: if the Ravens go to Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs,

197
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: a f C is just like, Wow, we have another

198
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: powerhouse on our hands. And as good as the Patriots look,

199
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: it would feel very wide open to me who could

200
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: come out of this conference. I don't think the Ravens

201
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: defense is as good this year. We'll see Matthew Judean

202
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of looks like that guy that dude that steps

203
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: up every year for the Baltimore Ravens and then gets

204
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: paid elsewhere. But overall they're a little thinner in the

205
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: secondary than we expect. I don't think they're gonna be

206
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: as I mean, Mahomes is the ceiling though. He's the

207
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback I've seen since we've been covering the league

208
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: to come into it and he's playing as well or

209
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: better than he did a year ago. That's the ceiling.

210
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: And this was the game of the year to me.

211
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: In the regular season maybe except for Chiefs Rams last year,

212
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: it was empty. It was the m v P moment

213
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: for Mahomes where he hit the fourth and nine across

214
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,479
Speaker 1: his body was two great styles. They went to overtime.

215
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: It was a great first Lamar Jackson showing. So I

216
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: think it could be a rivalry we see throughout the

217
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: next day. But my last point, and about the Chiefs,

218
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs deserved talk as well, is that Derek

219
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: Carr after last week's game where they essentially got shut

220
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: out the last three quarters, he made a point to say,

221
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs, this is a really good defense and

222
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: and we'll see And maybe you don't trust what Derek

223
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: Carr has to say, but Derek Carr had no problems

224
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: carving up Vick Fongio's team the week before and then

225
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: ran into a wall against the Chiefs. We've talked about

226
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: this before. All they need to be is okay on

227
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: defense and Mahomes will handle the rest. Chris Jones also

228
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: had one of the best games you'll see by any

229
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: defensive lineman not named Aaron Donald or J. J. Watt.

230
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: It was incredible, all right, way, Lamar Jackson runs, I

231
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: don't care what defense you are man. The defenders look

232
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: completely confused when he takes off. Anyone think the Ravens

233
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: go there? And when I know we don't pick each

234
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: game but games, I'm picking the Chiefs, but I think

235
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: it'll be a fun game. I'll take the Ravens by

236
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: one point. I just have too much faith in Patrick

237
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes right now. I'm taking the Chiefs, all right, West.

238
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: The number two overall pick is Denver Broncos at Green

239
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. All right, tell us? Why, well, it's in

240
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay. For me what I watch on Sundays, I

241
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: just don't want to be offended by your field or

242
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: your team, and I love watching games in Lambeau. I

243
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: feel like, uh, Aaron Rodgers just misconnecting on a few

244
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: throws last week that would have been fantastic. I think

245
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: that offense is close to a breakthrough right now, and

246
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: this might be the game, especially against the Broncos pass rush,

247
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: which we expected to be the best in the league

248
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: in right now is dead lasting combined sacks and quarterback hits.

249
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: While the Packers have za Darius Smith who is number one,

250
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: tied for number one and quarterback pressures this year, and

251
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: they have Darnell Savage, who to me is one of

252
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: the most exciting rookies in the business. He's got I'm

253
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: not saying here's Earl Thomas, but his closing speed and

254
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: range is fantastic. Was it the Packers offense? West though,

255
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: super annoying to after those three possessions, that they could

256
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: look that good, get the twenty one points and then

257
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: just not be able to do anything. And essentially, if

258
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: you take up step back over the two games about

259
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: the possessions that have been garbage. Was not annoying to me.

260
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: I love the way Aaron Jones ran over a hundred yards,

261
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: got more than twenty carries, and like I said, Rodgers

262
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: just missed on a couple of throws. I think there

263
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: were a couple of penalties in there. There's a brought

264
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: some big plays back, moved the ball a little better

265
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: than I would have expected considering it was eleven possessions

266
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: without a point. I also thought, like I was impressed

267
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: by the way Rogers played, but then looking at my

268
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: homes and just the distance between them. Now, I would

269
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: not expect that that my homes is so much better

270
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: than Rogers right now. I I watched the Packers from

271
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: end end. In the note I took was I have

272
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: hope in the offense because of what happened early. I'm

273
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: not so worried about it breaking down later in the

274
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: game because it is a totally new world for Rogers.

275
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, You're right, I thought he ran. He should

276
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: be their lead back in Matt Lafloors talking about splitting

277
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: carries with him and Williamson. For me, I just think

278
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: they need to They've missed two things. In my book

279
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: for a long time, it was a featured running back

280
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: that could bolster Rogers and you could count on from

281
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: wire to wire. I think you have that in Jones

282
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy and unsuspended. And their defense. I

283
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: love teams that completely changed the way you feel about

284
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: them early on in the year. And Mike Petton's defense.

285
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: They've given up about the second fewest amount of points

286
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: in the league right and it is not a fluke.

287
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: It is real. And I realized you play the Bears

288
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: a rather broken down offense in Week one. But this

289
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: to me, the way that Mike Patton his defense requires

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: certain play at the cornerback position. They're getting that from

291
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: their defense and pass rush they are. They have the

292
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: right parts in place right now. They have elite players

293
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: at every level, so they have a great coach. But

294
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: the more important thing is the talents that Arius Smith

295
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: and Kenny Clark are both ranked in the top five

296
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: in PFF at their positions. Uh you go, you know

297
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: to the back end, Adrian Amos is ranked that high.

298
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: At safety, you have Blake Martinez. We've talked about on

299
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: this show for a long time. You have playmakers at

300
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: every level. I mean making the leaps, making a comeback

301
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: because we had Lamar Jackson and the Packers defense. We mean,

302
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: that's right, We're going royal. We The only problem with

303
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: West's pick here is he's he talked about how excited

304
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: he is to watch the Packers. Another team is playing

305
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: this game, and it's a team that has his heart

306
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: that he's going to be rooting for. And this is

307
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: he's locked into the tough spot for the Broncos, well

308
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: this is this is our first cornered animal game of

309
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: the week and two teams. You know your season's over

310
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: at own three, and do not discount that when you're

311
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: looking to pick teams that, oh they're owing two, they stink.

312
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: If they're not really a bad team. I feel like

313
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a really good effort for a lot

314
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: of these own two teams. The Broncos, I think you're

315
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna put up a fight here, But like you said, West,

316
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how well this team is gonna travel

317
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: all season. I'm much closer to shutting the Broncos down

318
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: mentally in my mind before I am thinking they're gonna

319
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: dance with with Mars. You know what. By the way,

320
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm typically right on those like It's it's not great

321
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: for business to talk about a team being done in

322
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: week three or week four, but you get a feeling,

323
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: and if you're right, eight percent of the time, I

324
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: ride with it. A Denver is not a playoff team

325
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: to make Steve and Billy Mackison crossing and then putting

326
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: on the lips. They still gonna have intriguing, uh you know,

327
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: parts of their team even if they don't go to

328
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I'm not I'm not that excited about

329
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: the style of this game. These two teams have both

330
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: played at a very slow pace. Two of the teams

331
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: that are gonna wait till the end of the play

332
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: clock and then they're gonna call a second and ten run.

333
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur likes to play that way. Obviously they're entertaining,

334
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: but it's I could imagine it being very close down

335
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: to the wire. Uh like the last Broncos game, closer

336
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: than the people in the desert think. This took me

337
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: about one second to pick my game, and I am

338
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: to me from August would have been stunned that this

339
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: would be my pick because one of the two teams

340
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I sort of virtually reject from around age ten on.

341
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: But the other one has won me over. And you

342
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Royal We we wrote an

343
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: article about the Bills this week because we are fired

344
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: up about Buffalo's chances in the a f C. I

345
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: love the way this team is made. They are hosting

346
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: in their home opener after going on the road and

347
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: knocking out to pretenders from New York. They are hosting

348
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and the Bengals got absolutely worked over as bad

349
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: as any team I saw in the league last week

350
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: against the Niners. Just watch that game this morning, around

351
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: to it and I cannot believe how hard the Niners

352
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: thumped them in Cincinnati. The Bengals went from being a one,

353
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: A O and one team that was very intriguing, I thought,

354
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: for what they did against Seattle in Week one to

355
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: losing all appeal. And I'm not just piling on them.

356
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: There's just not a lot to cling onto the way

357
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: that they were run on last week. And my word,

358
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: it's one game and it's a small sample size. So

359
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: I would say this the Bengals ever pulled this out,

360
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: they're back on board for me as a team that

361
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: can be frisky. I'm not putting them in no man's land,

362
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: but the Bills have everything in place, and I think

363
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: you have Josh Allen playing in a way you talk

364
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson. We thought that Lamar Jackson was a

365
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: run not throw a quarterback at the very worst, and

366
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: there was much more hope with him than there was

367
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: I thought with Josh Allen in terms of being a

368
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: complete player. And Josh Allen has answered a lot of

369
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: questions early He's had a great running game around him

370
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: with Frank Gore and Devin Singletary. Is my one concern.

371
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: It sounds like he may not play this week and

372
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: he has only had ten carries, but Lee is the

373
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: league and rushes over ten yards and it's not a

374
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: to me. That's he made their offense go when they

375
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 1: finally put him in the game. This defense should have

376
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: no problem against Andy Dalt and the Bengals, who to me,

377
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: are one of these teams that can put two drives

378
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: a week against you with big plays that make you think,

379
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: but then they they killed themselves, but with penalties and turnovers.

380
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: Their offensive line. The Bengals offensive line is a major

381
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: issue right Andre Smith at left tackle. John Jerry comes

382
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: into replace him when he has to sit out. This

383
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: offensive line is as bad as we thought, and they

384
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: lost They've lost i think starters at almost every position now,

385
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: So it's to be fair to Zach Taylor and what's

386
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: going on there. If they had a bad offensive line

387
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: to begin with and they're down four starters right now,

388
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: they might be down four or five. Like they even

389
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: their backups with like Andre Smith and and one of

390
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: the guards who's now out for the season that Yeah,

391
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: that's not Zach Taylor's fault. I mean, they had guys

392
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: retiring in what's making you chuckle over there? I well,

393
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: I enjoy your passion for the Bills. Um. I want

394
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: to say that another cornered animal game. And the one

395
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: thing you have to keep in mind here, I think

396
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: is that this the Bills as an organization are dealing

397
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: with something. It's a good thing to deal with, but

398
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: they haven't had in a long time, which is some

399
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: expectation and some people assuming they're gonna win and everyone's

400
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: gonna go in there and everybody's gonna pile into that

401
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: stadium and assume and it's gonna be loud, and it's

402
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. The pregame is gonna

403
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: be out of control, uh in the parking lot. Uh.

404
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: But I would say there's a chance they could get

405
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: surprised by not walking over a team. Because if we

406
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: want to take certain teams in the league and say,

407
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: oh they're too and oh but they beat teams that sink, well,

408
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: look at the Jets, uh, and the and the Giants.

409
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: So I think what we saw from Week one, UM

410
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati was really good. What we saw in Week

411
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: two was absolutely wretched. My feeling is they're probably somewhere

412
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: in between there, and I just don't know if I'm

413
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: ready to say Buffalo is good enough where they're just

414
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna destroy um Well, I think I think the Bills

415
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: are built to win games like five to fourteen. I

416
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're built necessarily to beat teams forty seven.

417
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: That's that's not I don't think it's gonna be a

418
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: blowout necessarily. But I can't point to anything that the

419
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: Bengals are doing right now that should particularly scare the Bills,

420
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: and so the Bill. But the Bills have done a

421
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: better job of playing up to expectations than the Browns,

422
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: for instance, who came in with and some others like

423
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: they're beating him. They look like one of the best

424
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: defensive league. They have guys like Harrison Phillips who are

425
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: suddenly stepping up and making big plays. And then Josh Allen. Look,

426
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people have already started walking away from

427
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: their Daniel Jones. Uh, you know, hatred and laughter. No

428
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: two players in the last two drafts have unified Draft

429
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: Twitter anymore than mocking h Josh Allen and Daniel Jones.

430
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: We'll see about Jones, and we'll see about Alan. To me,

431
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: he's like a relief pitcher that he's gonna be wild

432
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: some weeks, but it's hard to ignore the types of

433
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: plays he's making on the run now and if he

434
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: can you know, if you can just do that, if

435
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: they could do what they did the first two weeks offensively,

436
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, they're about eleventh and points,

437
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: you know, thirte yards per play. Their their middle of

438
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: the packer a little better. I forget it. They're team ye,

439
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: They're well coached, they're great at fundamentals, they have good leadership,

440
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: they play well as a team. This is a good

441
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: all around team and they're fun to watch and they

442
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: have Frank are they got? This is the first incarnation

443
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Bills in a long long time. And we've seen so

444
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: many with all these teams that are struggling to break

445
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: through where the coach the front office are all married

446
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: in unison. That has been they have been especially volatile

447
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: in that situation previous to this. All right, now, Greg,

448
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: so you pick the next two. You're up. Well, the

449
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: only snake in this room is you for taking the

450
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs and you're gonna watch it anyway, You're not You're

451
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: not even the number one overall. Of course, that was

452
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: the obvious pick. I'm taking Romo again. It wasn't necessarily

453
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: have been my strategy, but Tony Rolmos covering the Saints

454
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks, and I'm gonna after First of all,

455
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: it's four. You like those games where you can finish

456
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: with the early smart bro you know, keep that in mind, everybody,

457
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: and then you can sit back and you can let

458
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: a master do his best work in an interesting game.

459
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: Two NFC teams which they don't normally have some interested

460
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little different, and it's Teddy Bridgewater.

461
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: We've come a long way um with the whole Teddy

462
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Bridgewater story. We've tracked his entire career on this show.

463
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed watching him. I thought he was better

464
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: than people thought in Minnesota, that he had a pretty

465
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: nice upside as, like a better version of Alex Smith.

466
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't looked like that in the brief chances he's

467
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: gotten over the last few years, and who knows how

468
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: many chances he's gonna get with Taysom Hill behind him.

469
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: This is it. This is a big moment in his career.

470
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's a big moment for Sean Payton too,

471
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: because I think he wants to go put out that

472
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year reel. He wants to be have

473
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill and Teddy Bridgewater go to Seattle, pull off

474
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: that road upset, have some crazy plays and everyone just

475
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: be honking about how Sean Payton's the man, that's what

476
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: he's looking for Sunday. But he's one of the guys

477
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: I could trust to the I don't doubt it. NFL

478
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: Research put out a study that showed the splatterings during

479
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: the season or various games where coaches maybe trying to

480
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: outsmart everyone else used two or three quarterbacks in one

481
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: game in specific situations, and the results are pretty awful.

482
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: They don't It just doesn't really work. And it's and

483
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: that goes back twenty thirty years where it just doesn't

484
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: sustain itself. I just think we're gonna get a lot

485
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: more Tastom Hill, and if we don't, I'd be stunned.

486
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: I think that Saints d also hasn't been impressive. I

487
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: think that's under the radar. The defensive line is playing

488
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: great in terms of getting pressure, but as a team defense,

489
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: the linebackers and the secondary and the run defense. It's

490
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I mean they they did not play well

491
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: against Los Angeles. I am switching up my lock here.

492
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna take another team, but I can't listen

493
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: to Greg talk up Teddy Bridgewater that much like he's

494
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: any threat to I mean, I'm not, come on, I'm

495
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: locking up the Seahawks in this game. I can't wait

496
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: to lock up against Teddy Bridgewater and Sean Payton in

497
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: this game. Graphic ready of that? But and that are you?

498
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: Are you viewing this anti breeze or non breeze territory

499
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: as a sinkhole for the Saints then I think since

500
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving, the Saints offense has been subpar, and that

501
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: includes this year. I just I don't like anything I've

502
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: seen unless Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas catch fire. This

503
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: team doesn't move the ball well in the running game

504
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: fell apart the minute Bridgewater hit the scene last week,

505
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson played one of the best games of

506
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: his career list week that that's the I mean, there's

507
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: a team to the Seattle that looked very different from

508
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: Week one to two. Russell Wilson getting the ball out

509
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: of his hands quicker than he ever has in his

510
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: entire career. You have a great backfield, you're you're at home,

511
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: but their offensive line hasn't protected him at all. I

512
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: think that's that's the chance. Is Cameron Jordan's playing great,

513
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: Marcus Davenport and Trey Hendrickson are coming off big games,

514
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: and you're just hoping that they can wreak havoc and

515
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: cause some turnovers against Russell Wilson in that offensive line.

516
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: Can Jordan's stole Han's done? Soul list? I love the

517
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: one thing about DK metcalf and I think he I

518
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: was I thought he might not work out. It just

519
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: something about him did. I wasn't sure He's made some

520
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: good place. What I love watching him do is when

521
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: they show on the coaches film of him going down

522
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: field and blocking like a little tiny cornerback. He just

523
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: takes these guys and throws him like eight yards in

524
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. Not sure that's why you draft wide

525
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: receiver primarily, but he makes And what they're doing with

526
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: him is is just having him run the same route

527
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: over and over. They're not trying to confuse him. He's

528
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: just on one side of the ball. Going down the field.

529
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: He's got two routes, so much of t o even

530
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: his posture, the way he stands, the way he runs. Alright, Greg,

531
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: you're picking again, baby. Look at this. Greg's building his team.

532
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: I'm going Colts Falcons early. That's the game. I'm gonna

533
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: focus on. Interesting pick. Maybe a bit of a reach

534
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: this earlier. I mean, look where I'm sitting in the

535
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: same room as a guy who took that Joe Flacco

536
00:25:53,720 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: snooze and Broncos second overall, So I haven't that's that's

537
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: Greg had that prepared the minute the minute West went

538
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: after Dome game with the sun blinding, ultra vindictiveness. I'm representing,

539
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: and I'm representing what I believe to be the majority

540
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: of football fans who just like watching it and they

541
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: don't mind it. It's if it's in a dome, it's fine.

542
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: Cares about the majority of football fans. I get out

543
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: of here. Greg, you are the last person, not only

544
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: on this show, but on any show ever that I

545
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: would link to the majority of football fans on any level.

546
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: You have never been for their cause, and you are

547
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: not for it. Now. Well you know what, you know

548
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: what they like that they like the running game, and

549
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: that the Indianapolists are a team with the starting running

550
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: back who has a calf injury and isn't practicing. That's

551
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: a problem, ladies. But Jordan's get into the game. Sorry,

552
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: we're talking the game. It's in there. He just had

553
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: a nice little injury. Yeah what are you talking about? Uh,

554
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: nice little injury update. It doesn't matter who's back there

555
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: because it's all about Quentin Nelson. It's all about that

556
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: offensive line their second in the league and rushing yards

557
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: right now forth in efficiency. They are the team that

558
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: Dirk Cotter says the Falcons want to be, which is

559
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: which is a run first team that's gonna make a

560
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: drive when you need to. And when Jacoby Prisette needed

561
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: to make two touchdown drives in a row in the

562
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter against the Chargers, that's exactly what he did.

563
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: When the Colts needed to make a touchdown drive against

564
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: the Titans in the fourth quarter, that's exactly what they did.

565
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: Usually that's the type of kind of late excitement that

566
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: we can get rallied behind. And I'm in on Jacoby

567
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: Brissette and this team just being a little funky, and

568
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: I think it would be a fun game. It's a

569
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: sneaky good game of the week. That's what I say.

570
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna fight every week. I think. I don't think

571
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna end up with him playing football in January

572
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: the Colts. But just like you know, we know that

573
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: Frank Reich is a great coach. Brissette is not a

574
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: dynamic player, but he's fine. He's like Ken Stabler back

575
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: there getting you know, making making herkey jerky weird moves

576
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: in the pocket and throwing it deep there like a

577
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies. It's just a it's a shame because this

578
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: really was a team that had a chance, um with

579
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck and without him, I think they're eight

580
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: to ten win team. UM, so maybe not a super

581
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: Bowl team, but a team that will play a lot

582
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: of close games, fund games. So from that standpoint, with

583
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: the fifth overall pick, you're probably gonna get an entertaining game.

584
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: And the Falcons Falcons always play. You know, I'm down.

585
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of the Falcons right now.

586
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: The Falcons feel a tad faceless to me, although they

587
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: certainly took advantage of a banged up Eagles defense last week,

588
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: and the Colts are down Pierre to Sira appears that

589
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: he's got a knee injury. J Ball Sheared could be

590
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: out Darius Leonard as a concussion. So you're losing at

591
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: every level a key contributor there that that's It's not

592
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: the Colts defense at their most powerful. To me, though,

593
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: I feel like you're getting the Falcons at the right

594
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: time because I just I am not sure who this

595
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: team is. That's my issue them. They may feel differently

596
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: about themselves. Well, we asked them to show some backbone

597
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: on defense and they did. Their Their defensive line is

598
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: much improved, and they worked over and Eagles offensive line

599
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: that everybody assumes is one of the best in the NFL.

600
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't just assume that the Cults are gonna

601
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: run down their throats in this game, all right? Moving on,

602
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to pick one of these cornered animal games,

603
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pick the one that I'm most fascinated

604
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: by because it's against an undefeated team that's coming off

605
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: a great effort on offense. We we touched on it

606
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: earlier the Pittsburgh Steelers with Mason Rudoff. It's took your pick. Took.

607
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't getting to you, Mark, Yeah, does it make it?

608
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: It's always better when the other guys only says he

609
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: would have been gone. Not only is it the game

610
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: I wanted, it is in that precious yeah, Greg strategy,

611
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: which is a wise one. So I'm taking the Steelers

612
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: at Niners. Uh cornered animal. Oh and two Steelers no

613
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: Big Ben out for the season with that elbow injury.

614
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: In steps Mason Rudolph. Mark, You and I saw the

615
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: same thing when we watched that game that we thought, um,

616
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Rudolf had a chance here and could be a guy

617
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: could step in and keep the Steelers interesting and relevant.

618
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: They of course make that trade to get make Fitzpatrick,

619
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: which the more I thought about it, the more I

620
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: love that trade. I know that they they gave. Yeah,

621
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: it's an onion hanging, sure if I love it, but

622
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: it's onions and he Because it's so unheard of that

623
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins whatever happened to Gary Cooper, that Micke Fitzpatrick

624
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: at twenty two or twenty three years old, whatever he is,

625
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: would say, get me out of here immediately after he's drafted. Essentially, well,

626
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: we gotta look at him over a year. As what

627
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm being told on that an expert in the ways

628
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: of mackef Fitzpatrick, but that he is a highly versatile guy,

629
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: a real chess piece in your defensive backfield. And basically,

630
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers drafted a twenty three year old cornerback slash

631
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: safety who they really believe in and have tape in

632
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: the NFL that says this guy can play at this level.

633
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: It makes sense to me from that stand does he's

634
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: already announced that he wants to be cemented into one position? Okay, well,

635
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: and they need him at free safety because they put

636
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: shann Um Sean Davis on I R I. I have

637
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory on this, and I haven't heard out there.

638
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Colvert refused to sign a contract extension this year.

639
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: He's been on one year deals. Some rumors that either

640
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna move on to another team or just move

641
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: on period. I think Mike Comlin if things went super south,

642
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: who knows if the Rooneys would blow it up. Maybe

643
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: it's Kevin Colbert and Tomlin thinking a little bit like

644
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: we gotta make this year work. Not think I try

645
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: to save your collar once, because there's like a Saturday

646
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: night Fever Travolta thing going on out it's good to

647
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: know that it's a multimillion dollar corporation. I should work well.

648
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: UM anyway, So I really think the Steelers have a

649
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: good chance in this game. And Niners, uh fans that

650
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: feel really good after back to back road wins by

651
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: their team. I get that. And they almost put up

652
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: six hundred total yards on the Cincinnati team. That seemed

653
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: like you know what that game was like? That was

654
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: that was like, um, every year Labor Day weekend, I'm

655
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: in Texas and it's the only time I ever see

656
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: college football, and uh in this at this family reunion. UM,

657
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: my wife's family all Baylor fans. UM. Some other in

658
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: laws are ut Texas people. There's some Oklahoma fans. So

659
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: there's just football playing all the time. And typically not always,

660
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: but usually they basically have a slaughter game week one

661
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: to get to get these big time programs, Uh, they

662
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: essentially schedule against some team that can't even be on

663
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: the team. That's what this game looks like. State is

664
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: coming into Austin exactly. That's what Cincinnati looked like. They

665
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: looked like housing State UM against the Niners. So it

666
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: got to the point that it was farce and it

667
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: was like what can I take out of this Niners performance.

668
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: It did open my eyes. Curtis Samuel Uh, their backfield

669
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: has even even with the injuries they had, there are

670
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: guys that can make things happen. Matt Brita, who I

671
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: know West, We've talked about him being a big guy.

672
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: And Jimmy Garoppolo. It seems so far away those concerns

673
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: now back during the preseason about whether he would be

674
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: able to be a It was like a week ago.

675
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: This show a week ago was how far away? He

676
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: didn't play grade a week one, but he definitely was.

677
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: He looked like the guy that they need him to

678
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: be in this game. Um So, as much as I

679
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: like the offense, I'd like to see it at against

680
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: the tougher matchup, and this is a tough matchup against

681
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Think it is this. I thought Kyle Shanahan.

682
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: This put a real stamp on this pass game with

683
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: number one. It's the Shanahan thing where multiple running backs

684
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: are going to kill you. So if you play fantasy uh,

685
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: and most of us don't, but if you do, like

686
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: you don't know who to pick each week because they've

687
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: got multiple guys that can hurt you even without Tevin Coleman.

688
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: You made the point. I don't think they really need

689
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: ted and Tevin looked fantastic. Jef is now their goal lineback.

690
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: Like they're like, would Jerick McKinnon and and Tevin Coleman

691
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: be better? How can to be better than? And they

692
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: had multi they had touchdowns called back by penalty. Uh.

693
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan got Marky's goodwin free on a leak route where

694
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: he crossed the line and broke up field. It was

695
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: totally open, like that was something that you don't see

696
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: very often and that he's just wide open. There are

697
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: and this is a compliment I I was looking at

698
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy G and I was like, who is he reminding

699
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: me of? When he's not throwing the ball perfectly, but

700
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: he's just operating well in the offense. It's kind of

701
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: like what Shanahan did with Brian Hoyer during that one

702
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: part of the season in Cleveland. The kind of like

703
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: looked like each other a little bit, and then Jimmy

704
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: G can do so much more than that player who

705
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: broke down. Ultimately, I am not worried about Jimmy G

706
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: right now. I think that when you they finally have

707
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: a defense too, if they played the way they have

708
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: been Steelers, Well, I think I don't think we're going

709
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: to take your lockquest. No, it wasn't. You're picking this reason.

710
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: This can be a great game. They really need to

711
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: handle George Kittle and so far this year, Devin Bush

712
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: has gotten lost in coverage too many times. He's experiencing

713
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: growing pains and he's been bad and downright bad in

714
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: the red zone. But they're slow at linebacker. They drafted

715
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: Bush to be faster, but because he's reacting slow, he's slow.

716
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: And Mark Baron there's a reason why the Rams want

717
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: to know more part of him. He's he cannot cover

718
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason why Russell Wilson had

719
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: such a great Daylight. Well, I would say you've lost

720
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: Joe Staley and the way the Niners are, the way

721
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers passed us played early against the Seahawks. I

722
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: mean they dismantled Seattle early, then they came back into

723
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: the game. That's your chance if you can get to

724
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco in hassle Jimmy g from the start. Forty

725
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: Niners fans are getting after me because I picked. I

726
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: picked the Steelers to win this. It is partly because

727
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: of what Dan said, I kind of can't imagine the

728
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Steelers at oh and three, and part of me has

729
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: a has a hard time imagining the forty nine at

730
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: three and oh. These feel like two teams. I'm not

731
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: putting that much stock into what's happened so far. The

732
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: story is, you know, yet to be written. But man

733
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: if Mason Rudolph could go in there and like this

734
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: is where Mike Tomlin's done some of his best work,

735
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: maybe I'm basing on totally intangible nonsense. Whenever you're cornered,

736
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: whenever you count them out there in I'm with you.

737
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm confident, and now I'm blocking it up and it's

738
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: very strange to lock up. But guess who else on

739
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: the road. This is also a corner sounds like a

740
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: machine gun. Um. It also is a cornered animal game

741
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: from the old Zeuser at oh and two. I need

742
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: this game and I'm gonna bring that energy to the

743
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh locker room. We win in we flying back home

744
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: on a dub animal employees wounded animal to get out

745
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: of a cage. It's an onions It's an Onions lock

746
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good all right, Who is up.

747
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: It is now Chris Westling's second pick. This is the

748
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: road team. I was going to take the New York

749
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: Giants at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I want to see

750
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: how transformed the offense is with Danny Dimes. It sounds

751
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: like Sterling Shepherd is going to play. He was coming

752
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: off the concussion. And if you have Evan Evan Ingram,

753
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, Sae Kwon Barkley, and an offensive line that

754
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: has been frankly one of the top ten lines in

755
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: the league so far this year, I think that gives

756
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes a good chance to succeed against a Buccaneers

757
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: defense that has caught Greg's eye. I love me some

758
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: todd Balls. I mean, we were watching the game. Who

759
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: gets Mark? Who's more exciting than Todd Bowls? Seeing a

760
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: happy todd Balls on the sideline, everyone start, literally, everyone

761
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: is more exciting. But that's let's make him a head coach.

762
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason. You know, it's just fun

763
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: to lean into this stupid bit. But uh, they really

764
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: have been better. They are, let's seeing more than fifty

765
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: of the time, like no other team in the league

766
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: is remotely close. They don't even really have a pass rush.

767
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: They they're trusting that Vida Vella and gold William Golston

768
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: and and Dominicance Wu and Lavante David can just stop

769
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: the run while they're almost selling out to just blitz

770
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: and and they can. It's kind of a way to

771
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: work around the one strength they have, which is they

772
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: have a good run defense, and they're blitzing like crazy,

773
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: and at least in September and maybe against a rookie

774
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: quarterback that can stick you out some good performances, I mean,

775
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: to your point, Jack Barrett basically said that he had

776
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: played in a three or four defense his whole life,

777
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: but that the Todd Bowls three four was something completely different.

778
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: We saw him blow up the Panthers last week, and

779
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: so something's working. I flipped to the other side of

780
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: the ball, though, and I look at Bruce Arians, who

781
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: I love Bruce Arians. But I can't quite figure out

782
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: if he knew this was where he'd be coming into

783
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: week three, that this is why he pulled out of

784
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: retirement to take over this office. Was convinced that Jamis

785
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: Went is a legitimate franchise quarterback, Well, then I would

786
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: I would that he should have at least gone in

787
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: suspicious of that, hoping that would be the case. Not

788
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: convinced because when there one and one campus is so

789
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: out of their minds right now. I saw an article

790
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: this week and the Tampa Bay Times that said, are

791
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: the with Drew Brees is injury, are the Bucks the

792
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: new favorites in the NFL? I was like, Yeah, if

793
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: the offense does not totally maximize against a Giant's defense

794
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: that could not have been more lost at Sea last

795
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: week at home, then I don't know when it happens.

796
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: You're playing a rookie quarterback I like, I like him

797
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: better than Eli Manning, but it's still his first start

798
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL against a good defense. We've just talked

799
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: about them. If you cannot make this the game where

800
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: we figure out, oh this is what arians and this

801
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: Bucks offense are going to be against one of the

802
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: lamest defenses in the league, that I'm not holding my

803
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: breath for it to happen. There there by that they

804
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: have to do something this week. They are not doing

805
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: what last year's Bucks offense did. O. J. Howard is

806
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: v niched, not even close. Just throw it DeAndre Baker

807
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: every time. Yeah, that's that's part of the Gettleman story

808
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: that's not being told right now. He took a few

809
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: people in the first round. Daniel Jones wasn't the only one.

810
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker, his first round cornerback, is right now the

811
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: worst cornerback in the entire NFL and would be benched

812
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: if he was on it. You have every right to

813
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: bail and the Bruce Arians experience with Jamis Winston if

814
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: they cannot move the ball up and down the field

815
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: against the Giants, Yes, Giants stink their defense, Genar Jenkins.

816
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 1: You know their secondary stinks and the secondary is complaining

817
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: about the defensive line. It's good in mid September. The

818
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: whole roster stinks on defense, so especially at home, and

819
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: maybe Danny does bring some juice to the offensive side

820
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: of they might get fairly shepherd back, you know, Golden

821
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Tate returns in a few weeks. Then they were smart

822
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: how they did this, because I think Danny Diame is

823
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: gonna look like a hero all right now. Picking Mark Cecil, well,

824
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: you know in a draft there's always the fly by night,

825
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: less prepared team that watches the picks they were going

826
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: to pick picked over and over just before their their times.

827
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: The last game the last two games picked where my

828
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: next two picks lined up. Now I'm scrambling and I'm

829
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna wind up the guy. Yeah, We're gonna listen. We

830
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: we This is someone we believed in for a long time.

831
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: I believe in this game from the start, even though

832
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: on my actual list number one, it's lodged number thirteen

833
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: or fourteen out of fourteen UH Carolina at Arizona. It

834
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: is one of the last remaining UH late games. And

835
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: I am a little I'm a little chargered out, so

836
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm bypassing Chargers. And here's my one thing. Watching Arizona

837
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: play the Ravens and losing and driving deep and moving

838
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: the ball well for big chunks of the field but

839
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: falling apart into field goals in the red zone. I'm

840
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: not sure what to make it, make of this offense entirely.

841
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: I like, I really like Kyler Murray's for a guy

842
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: who's played in two NFL games, his restive mindset. He

843
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: is whipping the ball downfield. He is reviving Larry Fitzgerald.

844
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: They've got some weapons in the passing game. I'm not

845
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: sure this is gonna work or not, but I think

846
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a couple of games where they simply explode.

847
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen, and I like this game.

848
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm picking this for that reason that I want to

849
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: be there when they suddenly dropped forty something points on

850
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: a team that has issues all over the place. And

851
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: the team with issues all over the place right now

852
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: is the Carolina Panthers. A. You've got Kyle at quarterback.

853
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: I understand he played we well in weeks seventeen. I

854
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: don't really care about weeks seventeen. At this point, Ron

855
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: Rivera is clearly agitated. He walked away from his press

856
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: conference two minutes in today because he was getting too

857
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: many Cam Newton questions, Well, that's not stopping, and what

858
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: is happening to this team in general? They feel like

859
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: melt territory to me and nothing. It is a huge week,

860
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: talk about a wounded animal for Riverboats, job security, it's

861
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: a huge for everything. I think the future of where

862
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: the team is going. You have an owner that has

863
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: been patient, because owners like to come in and do

864
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: their things and put their stamp, and he's putting no

865
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: real stamp on the team. And I think this could

866
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: be the offseason where a lot of changes happen if

867
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: this team continues to trajectory into deep Earth, you got

868
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: a big week coming up in Arizona. I love Kyler

869
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: Murray's intermediate deep ball accuracy and touch, and his willingness,

870
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: like you said, to be aggressive if his wide receivers,

871
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: even even he's leaving, every time he sees his receiver

872
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: get a step, he's throwing deep to that guy. I

873
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: love it. I thought it's interesting that Chris Carter said,

874
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: after talking to people in Arizona, defenses are going to

875
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: find out quickly that Kyler Murray does not want to run.

876
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to get hit. He feels the same

877
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: way about getting hit as Tom Brady and Drew Brees do,

878
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to run. Imagine if you're him

879
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: and you just stepped into the NFL these first couple

880
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: of games. Like he's he's the smallest guy on the

881
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: field by far. He he's the one quarterback that looks small,

882
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: like he looks noticeably different than definite helmet. It's it's tricky.

883
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to figure out a balance because when

884
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: I think it was Pronell McPhee guy in free on

885
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: a busted play, it's just you know, a two hundred

886
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: and seventy five pound great athlete coming at you with

887
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: no past protection. Kyler Murray put a spin move that

888
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: dropped him on the ground. It broke his ankles. It

889
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: made Pernell McPhee look like an old man. And that's

890
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: the type of runner Kyler for three years, right, But

891
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: that's the type of player he can be if he

892
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: wants to escape. And then he took an easy seven

893
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: yards to the sideline. That's one of only four runs

894
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: he's at all year one. Quick correction, Um, we referenced

895
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 1: thousands State. It's actually tousand University. They changed it because

896
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: they changed it. So there's even a reason I Buzzom

897
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Buddy Bob cas Stron throwback pod partner attended that school

898
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 1: and I've been there. It was not state at some point,

899
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: though I believe it was at one point and then

900
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: no longer the case. We're talking over twenty years of

901
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: what state are they in? Maryland? So Maryland was like,

902
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: stop referencing us. It's a state university, so they are

903
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: connected directly the state. Okay, but Maryland said, we're done

904
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: with you. Stop you're not connecting. I mean, we don't

905
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: need I'm not familiar with the politics of that area.

906
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like whenever a school needs

907
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: to change their name from the ground up, there's something

908
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: that we're going on that we should floor. So they

909
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: just dropped the state. They didn't. It wasn't a ground

910
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: up change. Okay, Bob was gonna come at me if

911
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: I did not bring this up, So go ahead. I

912
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: was just asking, does Mark get another? Is it snaking again? Doesn't? Well,

913
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: but I guess really I thought it was again snakes

914
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: every time? To you? Whoever picks doesn't make sense, does it? Yeah?

915
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: It does. It should snake back to me though. Yes,

916
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: that's what happened is we did snake and then we

917
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: went around this way again. It's meant to snake back

918
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: my I was actually heavily robbed. This has been an

919
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: absolute disaster because I should have gotten after Greg picked

920
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: fourth and fifth is I should have had the six pick.

921
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: You've buried me down at nine or ten. That explains

922
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: the horrific drafts. Let's just kill the snake for right now.

923
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: You'll know it should to lead of the listeners who

924
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: have allowed how did the last minute and a half

925
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: on thousands State and imaginary snake time out? Time out? Um,

926
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely right you had. It was one to Dan West. Yes,

927
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: I had again, Greg again, and then Dan again. Yeah,

928
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: it goes this way. It's a snake, Dan, because the

929
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: snake is curling back and forth, not getting cut off

930
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: at mid section after Greg takes two picks and starting

931
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: again with I just look back to our control room.

932
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: They've all left playing them just swiveling. But at least

933
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: this time it should snake back. This way we possibly pig.

934
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: Let's make a choice. I'm gonna take another for another

935
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: four o'clock game because this all plays into my I'm

936
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna watch Lamar anyways early, so I'll take the second

937
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: game that's Texans Chargers, and I am interested in this

938
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: game because this early in the season, I have no

939
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: idea what these teams are. I have no idea what

940
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be. I mean, when you think about last September,

941
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: can you really remember what teams were like? Can you

942
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: remember Blake Bordles dropping four touchdowns on the Patriots? Uh

943
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: for that Jaguars team that was clearly headed to the

944
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl while the Patriots were doing nothing like? Can

945
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: you remember the Bengals looking awesome and being super clutch?

946
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: I I don't know. You don't know what they're gonna

947
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: be in September. And these two teams especially, I don't

948
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: have any feel about. They've got great quarterbacks, they've got

949
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: terrible offensive lines, their defenses have been up and down.

950
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: I want to see a little more out of Joey

951
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 1: Bosa and Melvin Ingram and them making an impact every week.

952
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: And this is a great week to do it, and

953
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: if it feels like a big game, because I think

954
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: these two teams are very much in the a f

955
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: C playoff picture and so it could wind up mattering

956
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Who's got the better

957
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: backfield in this game. I've been really impressed with what

958
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: the Texans have done in their backfield. I know they

959
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: paid a premium to do it, but Carlos Hide is

960
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: running as well as he ever has and Duke Johnson

961
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: playing pretty well. Austin Ekeler, what's he got four touchdowns

962
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: an averaging a hundred yards of game. Wherever you took

963
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: him in fantasy it wasn't high enough. I mean that

964
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: that was your pick right there. Chargers have the better backfield,

965
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: I think because you've also got Jackson. I think they

966
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: they also were the team that proactively built a super

967
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: deep stable to the point where you even forget that

968
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is a human being who exists. At this point,

969
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: his leverage is so far in the distance that whatever

970
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: he whatever his argument was, he's become he's become completely unnecessary.

971
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: Came out this week and he said something about, you know,

972
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be playing somewhere, and at this point him

973
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: talking isn't even making a ripple, not Los Angeles. And also,

974
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: they took away they took away his blue checkmark on Twitter.

975
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: He's ret he's he's doing the Benjamin button in all

976
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: the wrong ways. If you if you took away a

977
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: few flags last week's buttons, yes, he's like setting backsward

978
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: blue checkmark on You're not even in college anymore, You're

979
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: a hopeful high school sophomore. I they if you took

980
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: a few flags away from the Chargers game against Detroit,

981
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: their backfield has another couple touchdowns in like sixty or

982
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: seventy yards. I mean that that game was closer than

983
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: it should have been because of Chargers flags, right, and

984
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: they lost. I think the Texans have more to feel

985
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: good about actually, so far. Marcella Whitney Merciless is reborn

986
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the week DJ Reader on their

987
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: front line looks good. Their front seven is really good.

988
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: They have some major weaknesses, which we've talked about offense

989
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: flying a second, but I think their strengths are coming

990
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: forward in the in the running game has Merciless is

991
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: such a huge for him to step up with Clowney gone,

992
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: That's exactly what they needed. Now, now, what was a

993
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: little a little better? By the way, it's some maybe

994
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: unfair digs on what a week Earl. You do a

995
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: gholst in in week one, you're gonna catch some heat

996
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: when you're a player at that level. But he went

997
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Maybe we're due for one of

998
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: those Monster Watch games this week. All right, Mark, you

999
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: are up and my apologies. Well, no, I don't blame you,

1000
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: because it's like a hundred and six degrees in here,

1001
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: and I think it starts starts to affect the mind

1002
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: before anything else. I think Mark, uh did this on

1003
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: purpose as some type of psychological test. Well it's not working.

1004
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: We're still on the air as far as we know.

1005
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: And Uh, I'm going to pick I like this game.

1006
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why it interests me, but there's not

1007
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: a lot left to pick from. I'm going Dolphins at

1008
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: Dallas Day. Sorry, Wes, how do I pick second? But

1009
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: then everybody picks three teams before me. I don't understand this. Well,

1010
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: maybe I should be apologizing to us, all right, go ahead.

1011
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: I wonder the Dolphins have faced the Ravens, the Ravens

1012
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. I'm not sure that they aren't playing

1013
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: the very best team they played yet right now. The

1014
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: way that the Cowboys are operating, this is another terrible

1015
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: situation for the Dolphins, and we've spent a lot of

1016
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: time on them this week. I just want to see

1017
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: how Dallas handles this because I wonder if the Dolphins

1018
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: become a team that if you get up twenty four nothing,

1019
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: thirty nothing, that you find a way to use it

1020
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 1: as a bye week or do you keep attacking all

1021
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: week long? Do you give Ezekiel Elliott a full quarter off?

1022
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: Do you play Dak Prescott? You know it's a good

1023
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: week for them not to have Michael Gallup, he's out

1024
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 1: for a while. But you don't need all your guns

1025
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: necessarily if you hold turnovers down and find a way

1026
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: to take care of the Dolphins, which shouldn't be hard.

1027
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I also think we're watching history. This Dolphins

1028
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: team could be How many teams do the league have

1029
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: gone undefeated in their history and winless? This is a

1030
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: little bit of history and I'm hanging on for a

1031
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: little Week three slice of piet underrated though, how they

1032
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 1: have opened against the three best offenses in the league

1033
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: or three of the top four or five offense because

1034
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: playing against the Dolphins. But no, the Patriots are gonna

1035
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: be good. The Ravens are dynamic. The Cowboys are good,

1036
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: you know the Cowboys. Dak Prescott, if if his agent

1037
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: could have scheduled September himself, he couldn't have picked three

1038
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 1: better Tomato can than knocked down than than these three teams.

1039
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: And with that, I also think that it's not it's

1040
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: it's the fact that, like, what can the Dolphins do?

1041
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: Who can they impose the will on right now? The

1042
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: answers house. That's how some Tigers coming from Towson their

1043
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: college university at this point. I the one reason I

1044
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: will also keep an eye on Miami is someone's gonna

1045
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: lose to this team. And that's the team that's gonna

1046
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: get ugly. They're doing, You're the team that loses to Miami.

1047
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: Let's say it's in week eight that coaches on the

1048
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: hot seat. I don't care if you're even Bill Belichick.

1049
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean I believe if they were like playing Gardner Minshew,

1050
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: it would be a close game, or if they were

1051
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: playing other team. I really do think they're not gonna

1052
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: get blown up their doors off every single week, but

1053
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: this week probably West since you don't get to well,

1054
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: you'll watch this game at some point. But do you

1055
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: have any thoughts in your Cowboys AF they're watching them

1056
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: during the week, Well, a lot of thoughts, but they

1057
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: don't really matter against the Dolphins, right? Do they matter?

1058
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: Long term? Dophins resistant to analysis. It doesn't matter who

1059
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: you who you're playing on your facing the Dolphins. They're

1060
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, their disgrace, and that's you know, what can

1061
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: you do? All Right, you're up. I will take Raiders

1062
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: at Vikings. That's a nice pick, though, BRO think at

1063
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: this stage in the draft it's kind of a stinky,

1064
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: big game. Yes, I think the Raiders, like Greg has

1065
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: been saying, are way more talented than they were last years.

1066
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: Good pick, Thank you everyone. I just want to tell

1067
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: you the nice job there keeping on with Josh Jacobs,

1068
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: who has looked really good at the first two games.

1069
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: Lost ten pounds this week. He's been sick, but yes,

1070
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: he's lost ten pounds, ten pounds in a week. It's

1071
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: a how's a hip injury? They were just reported to

1072
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: he's got like multiple physical injuries and he's sick and

1073
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: lost ten pounds and the other team motto going on there.

1074
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: The other team, the Vikings, might have the running back

1075
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: who's played better than any running back in the first

1076
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: two weeks in Dalvin Cook, despite playing against behind an

1077
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: offensive line that has not played well, especially rookie center

1078
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: Garrett Bradberry. That that's an interesting part of Cook's emergence

1079
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: is He's made most of these yards on his own.

1080
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: He leads the league in yards after contact. But you

1081
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: know who's I think even better than him per carry

1082
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: is Josh Jacobs. These are two of the three backs

1083
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: who have aided the most yards, and I love the

1084
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: way both of them finished their runs, especially Jacob. He

1085
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: refuses to go out of bounds. He's kind of it's

1086
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of an old school style, but with a little

1087
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: more wiggle uh than you'd expect. Like he's a lot

1088
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: of fun to watch the Raiders. I think losing Jonathan Abram,

1089
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: he slightly annoyed me during hard knocks, you know, early on.

1090
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: Then I think they kind of pulled him out of

1091
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: the narrative a bit to prevent that from continuing to happen.

1092
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: He though, has a little bit of Eric Turner in

1093
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: him in terms of his physical presence, and he just

1094
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: didn't care if he was in the league for a

1095
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: game or two. He gave them an identity, and I

1096
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: think he strips a lot away with him not being

1097
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: in the lineup. And they have been absolutely torched by

1098
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in two games straight. It was Courtland

1099
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: Sutton did it to him. It was DeMarcus Robinson, and

1100
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 1: it's like, who's it going to be this week? Because

1101
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings have the weapons, it might be a get

1102
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: well week from Minnesota through the air if they were

1103
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: to get clipped by Oakland here. They quickly become a

1104
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: team that I don't have a lot of faith in

1105
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: because the Vikings to me, I too, I I don't

1106
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: know who this was. Who they were at the end

1107
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: of last season. You could not handle yourself in primetime

1108
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: against big opponents, and they just don't feel all there

1109
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: to me, while they're passing games were they're running games better,

1110
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: but the passing games worse. And and Cousins is pick

1111
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: in the end zone last week, to me wasn't the

1112
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: most concerning part. It was that he came out the

1113
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: next drive still had five minutes left, almost through another

1114
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: pick and then air mails Adam Fieland on third down

1115
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: by ten yards. And you don't like seeing your veteran

1116
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: quarterback on tilt, and he was. He was just on tilt,

1117
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: like where he was his mind was somewhere else he

1118
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: was supposed to. Yeah, that's and he can regroup. But

1119
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: that was a bad moment to not for that not

1120
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: to happen. He's supposed to be that studying presence. That

1121
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: was such a disappointed Cousins performance. And I think, yeah,

1122
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: I think there's pressure on him now. That's that's building

1123
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: and we'll see how he reacts to that. I mean,

1124
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: if you look at his career, he has not farewell

1125
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: under pressure. I think these are the types of games

1126
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: that he does farewell though. A quiet afternoon game against

1127
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: the Raiders that not much of America will see. And

1128
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: and I'm still with you, Dan that they're a good

1129
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: team against lesser teams. He does. I mean I will

1130
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: say they were one team along with the Saints that

1131
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: if you go watch what the Zebras did to Minnesota

1132
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: in the last game, they they were zebra reth you

1133
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: gotta go. I mean, they just they were absolutely victimized.

1134
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 1: It's happening to two or three teams a week now,

1135
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: and they were I locked this game up if if

1136
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: I could look in the mirror. But I just think

1137
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: Oakland on the road, no one's gonna feel good about me.

1138
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a little the little nu miracle zone

1139
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: that we had talked about last year. And the Vikings

1140
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: defense got off to a slow start last week but

1141
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: played well in the second half. And I think they're safety.

1142
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: Combo of Harrison Smith and Curse has been lights out

1143
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: this year. Um, okay, I'll take it. I mean I'll

1144
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: fall on the sword. I'll take the Jets at the

1145
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: at the New England Patriots. You know what, Let's go,

1146
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to something else, something a little more appropriate.

1147
00:55:53,880 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: Okay City, New York City, that's more like it. That's

1148
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: where we are with the Jets, who are O and

1149
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: two and facing the desert and last it everybody Erica Sydney.

1150
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,479
Speaker 1: She really killed it there. Yeah, she has a beautiful voice.

1151
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: Our former producer, it was a very antagonistic Dan. But

1152
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: what it's part of the show in terms of building

1153
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 1: Erica up as the show is actually unfurling on live air.

1154
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: Um okay, but the Jets, according to the Desert people,

1155
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: building Erica up as the show is unfurling on live

1156
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: air versus having a previous producer coming and take a

1157
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: star turn with some sort of Broadway hit. I mean,

1158
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: we all love Laid, but that was like, that was beautiful.

1159
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: It was like the zombies had invaded New York and

1160
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: only Sydney was left. By the way, if you're a

1161
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: jet span, there's a lot of other things to do

1162
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: in New York City. You don't live in Central Iowa.

1163
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: There are other things to occupy your time, and I

1164
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: would start doing that right about now. Makes sense? What

1165
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: was that, Ricky? Forget it? Happy birthday to Sitty by

1166
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: the way, you just oh, happy birthday, Candles. Um, all right,

1167
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: the Jets are the Desert people have the Jets installed

1168
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: as a heavy, heavy, heavy, almost unprecedented level underdog, and

1169
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: I imagine New England will be just fine. Um taking

1170
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: care of business there as well, and for all the

1171
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: reasons everyone knows. We don't have to dwell on the

1172
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: Jets because we talked about them a lot on Monday.

1173
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, but um, is there anything, Greg? This is

1174
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: the only thing I really need to touch on this

1175
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: game before we move on, because this game is this

1176
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: is as bad as Dolphins Cowboys in the sense that

1177
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: what do you even take out of this game? On

1178
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: either side? The Jets, there's nothing to learn because you

1179
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: have your third string quarterback in and is actually the

1180
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: third starting Jet quarterback in three weeks. It's only happened

1181
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: six other times in the Super Bowl era. And the Patriots,

1182
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: of course, they're gonna take care of business here. What

1183
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: have you seen from the Patriots that's been interesting to

1184
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: you that maybe people aren't talking about, if there's anything, well,

1185
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: just how incredible their secondary is. I think people are

1186
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: talking about it. But the numbers that they're giving up

1187
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: in terms of their starters under completion, I mean, they

1188
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: have almost as many passes defense as as passes that

1189
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,479
Speaker 1: they've given up right now, and they're they have six

1190
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: seven guys Jonathan Jones, you know, j C. Jackson, Guys

1191
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: who aren't big names are playing really well. The competition

1192
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been great, but I think there is something for

1193
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: The Patriots want to get their offense in sync. And

1194
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, but they really haven't been

1195
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: uh this year. They they're missing both of their starting tackles,

1196
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: They're missing their starting center for the season, so that's

1197
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: three of your starting offensive lineman. I think there is

1198
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: a way for a better defense to get after them.

1199
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: And the running game hasn't been very good, so they

1200
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: want to kind of like the Browns, and I know

1201
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: it hasn't been as dramatic, but I think they want

1202
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: their offense to look a little more in sync, and

1203
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: like the Patriots offense, it certainly expect it's certainly easier

1204
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: because I mean, we all we sort of always talk

1205
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: about New England figuring themselves out in September, which, unlike

1206
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: other teams, means you either go four o or three

1207
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: and one or two and two once in a while.

1208
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: But I mean they were one and two last year,

1209
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: they were one and two a few years ago. It

1210
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: gets lost in the mix because like, that's not really

1211
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: that tragic of a story when we look at where

1212
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: the team winds up. And secondly, the difference this time

1213
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: around is their defense is historically awesome over two games

1214
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: and I get back to the Super Bowl. They have

1215
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of touchdown since the AFC Championship Game. They're remarkable,

1216
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 1: and I think that maybe it's the kind of team

1217
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick quietly loves coaching more than a lot of

1218
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: these other ones. The one thing I'd say for the Jets,

1219
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: because yes, if they didn't cover the spread here or

1220
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: whatever we're supposed to be calling it on the show,

1221
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: like Adam Gaze clearly was a fetish of ownership when

1222
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: he was hired because he went he left pretty disastrously

1223
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: in Miami. But they went after him hard. And yeah,

1224
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: no one's expecting them to win, But how they lose

1225
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: this game and how they lose some of these games

1226
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: coming up matters a lot. I think one thing that

1227
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: concerned me at the end of that Brown's game was

1228
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: the look on Levy on Bell's face after he had

1229
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: been thrown into the fire like thirty one times, and

1230
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: it's like, is that he That's not what anyone's looking

1231
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: to do for the next two months of an NFL season.

1232
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: It's just get beaten up. Is the team's only option.

1233
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: The good news is that sant Donald's back with a

1234
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: team and they are he's confident that he'll be playing

1235
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: in Week five, and they have the bye. It was perfect.

1236
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna get Chris Herndon back from suspension. Whatever they

1237
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: had at C. J. Mosley back probably after the bye.

1238
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: They had set up on offense. They can still accomplish

1239
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: those goals on offense. They just they're not They're not

1240
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoff race, and that it's just

1241
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: an expectations change. I think as far as this game goes,

1242
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything that Adam Gates will get

1243
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: judged on in Week three with Luke Fox at at quarterback,

1244
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: it's just a throw. I'm with you what it's worth.

1245
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: He did two pretty good stuff as the coach of

1246
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins offensively pretty consistently against these I'm with you, Dan,

1247
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: I just I would say perception Adam Gaze is already

1248
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: being judged as sort of the chef of a disaster,

1249
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 1: even though it's not entirely his fault or mostly his fault.

1250
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: It's got to keep control of the locker room. This

1251
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: this season could go sideways for the Jets. To keep

1252
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: all these emotions. You can just see it where and

1253
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: especially when you have an emotional head coach, an emotional

1254
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and an emotional team leader like Jamal Adams.

1255
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's move up. Who is up? Well, I've

1256
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: lost you know right, it's all very confusing. Now am

1257
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: I stuck? Now with the fourth game? You could throw

1258
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: one my way if you wanted to. I don't know

1259
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: where we want to go with it. I believe it

1260
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: is Greg's pick. Well, there's only one left here, so

1261
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: go ahead. So I get stuck. So I had the

1262
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: last Again, I get stuck. We all have three, so

1263
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: everybody gets stuck with us. You're watching one of Dan's

1264
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: so that's your all right, you're watching This game is

1265
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: clearly not going to be watched. It's it's Eagles Lions.

1266
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: This uh lying, this Eagles team. We almost overlooked how

1267
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: ridiculously terrible it was on Sunday night, how quickly their

1268
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: entire team change, potentially their season. Hopefully you know, they

1269
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: keep things afloat. To lose Dallas Godder, Alston, Jeffrey Sean Jackson,

1270
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Tim Joern again in the matter of minutes is pretty wild.

1271
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: And they've already lost Malik Jackson up front, they're already down,

1272
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, a line back. It's just a lot and

1273
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: it's really gonna test you know, Doug Peterson this week.

1274
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: We were thinking in the offseason, Oh, who's Carson Wins.

1275
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: How's he gonna keep all these guys happy? Now he's

1276
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: throw into mac Hollands and ar Sega Whiteside, who played

1277
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: almost every snap of that game and had one catch

1278
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: and did nothing, And so their running game looks terrible.

1279
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: Everyone loved Miles Sanders coming into the year. He was

1280
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: he's been very hesitant. They didn't have a run over

1281
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: hive yards last year. I don't think Miles Sanders is

1282
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: the problem. I think it's the offensive line that's the problem.

1283
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: And Isaac Siamalo, especially at guard, he struggled that there.

1284
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: I think there was a couple there were probably two

1285
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: runs where I think Sanders even talked about it last

1286
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: week where he was way too hesitant in trying to

1287
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: break into the outside and that was on him. But yeah,

1288
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: they're they're not in sync. They struggled for a little while,

1289
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, for half the game against the Resikins too,

1290
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: they did. I mean, that's that feels like a long

1291
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: time ago. At this point, I watched in Detroit Carrie

1292
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: on Johnson. I just love watching and run man that guy,

1293
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: and it's like they cut C. J. Anderson and I

1294
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure those are directly related, but they should

1295
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: be because you just don't need extra running backs. And

1296
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: the Lions spent all off seasons saying we want to

1297
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: be a running back by committee. We refused to anoint

1298
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson as our workhorse, but they just preferred

1299
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins, the guy they claimed off waivers waivers from

1300
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: the Giants. They just chose him over C. J. Anderson.

1301
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: But I think I really choosing Ty Johnson, their rookie

1302
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: running back, who I think is going to be a

1303
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: factor for this team, a clear backup and change of pace,

1304
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: but kind of an interesting guy that they can use

1305
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: as a receiver. The Lions were not boring against the Chargers,

1306
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: and to me, that's, you know, personally, that's a big step.

1307
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I kind of find them to kind of like that, uh,

1308
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: like that nerdy, like a nerdy girl in a science class,

1309
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: like sits in the back, like the goth girl that

1310
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: doesn't talk, or you know, there's something going on with

1311
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: that person. You can't quite figure out what's what it is?

1312
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Straight like rom Com, is that what this is? They

1313
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: don't feel like a leading character, but they're just sort

1314
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: of in the midst her hair, her hair is up,

1315
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: she's wearing overalls, she's wearing glasses. Stafford is not not

1316
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: aging the way that some are either. He can throw

1317
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the ball as hard as anyone in the league. Still so,

1318
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: by the way, the number one pick also snakes. So

1319
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: this is my game. So I'll take it off your heads. Okay,

1320
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I'll let you thank you. Dan's gonna be toiling Sunday

1321
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: over there. That was impressive. It's tricky because we're not

1322
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: sitting in the order of the snake. So this is something. Well,

1323
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: it's continue to make the tweaks as necessary as the

1324
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 1: weeks go along. Old Zoser will have it under control.

1325
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Don't worry, guys, what did to spend every

1326
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: show talking about this? Um? All right, let's get to

1327
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night football and it's a big one. Mark Sessler,

1328
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams too, and oh travel to the

1329
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: Dog Pound to face the one and one Cleveland Browns

1330
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and um, you know, Rich Eyes and came into the

1331
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: show on Tuesday and he said it, and we all agree,

1332
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: well that the Browns are out of that purgatory. But

1333
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: now comes the business of actually being a real team

1334
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: and being a competitive team. You're no longer in sad hell.

1335
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: Now you need to be a team that wins games.

1336
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: And they have some type of stretch. I believe the

1337
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: next four or five teams are all two and o

1338
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: right now, and um, there will be no violins being

1339
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: played because the Browns are supposed to hang in these

1340
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: games and win some of these games, including a home

1341
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: game in your building, right Mark, Come on, let's go

1342
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, get going now. One. What's that's just? That's

1343
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: just people talking. I mean, I think if you watch

1344
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: what Cleveland's put on tape over eight quarters, you have

1345
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: to love the pass rush, especially when you played a

1346
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: broken down UH Jets offensive line. Uh they didn't do

1347
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of that in the first game. I

1348
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: see an offense completely out of sync. And if you

1349
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: take away a wide open Odell Beckham on the clip

1350
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: people are watching going for eighty nine yards in that game,

1351
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: you'd come out of that saying the Brown's offense has

1352
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: as much as many issues as any high expectation team.

1353
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: In the league, and they've got offensive line issues. David

1354
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: the Joku is out. Richard Higgins being out last week

1355
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: hurt them a lot. They have their right tackle in

1356
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: a walking boot, and the guy who's gonna come in

1357
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: absolutely caused may Ham in the reverse way for Baker

1358
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: Mayfield in the first week. They are a banged up

1359
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: team on both sides of the ball. I don't like

1360
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: the way that they're pulling Nick Chubb off the field

1361
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: on third downs telecasting Adrian Peter and Peterson like that

1362
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: they're going to be throwing every single time. To me,

1363
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: they've got a lot to figure out. This is not

1364
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 1: the right time to deal with Aaron Donald in the Rams,

1365
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: and I hate to do this. I have to do

1366
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: it out of cold logic. I am locking up the Rams.

1367
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: This is Cleveland, Cleveland is you look at their schedule,

1368
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland up. What they're gonna have to do in this

1369
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: season is open about two and four. They have the Seahawks.

1370
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: They have a forty niners team. That's where I pegged

1371
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: their second win, not today, I don't And they have

1372
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: the MS line has been as bad as the Brown

1373
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Zo line. I would say, word, oh, I don't think

1374
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's gonna be a close game.

1375
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: I just think the Rams are gonna take care of business.

1376
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Here is some psychological thing that concerns me a lot.

1377
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: I grew up loving Clay Matthews, the father of the

1378
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Clay Matthews. Anyone today would know historic Browns linebacker who

1379
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: should be in the Hall of Fame. They are inducting

1380
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: him into the Ring of Honor. That is a beautiful

1381
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: thing to do. What concerns me is that it is

1382
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: total Monday Night type scenario where Clay Matthews, the son

1383
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: with the father watching, takes down Baker Mayfield as a

1384
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: Rams pass rusher in a key scenario right off right

1385
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: tackle where Chris Hubbard from a walking boot is reading

1386
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: a poetry book on the sideline while the Brown's offense

1387
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: is going down like a boat in the seats into poetry.

1388
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: Let me see if I got this right, Mark Well,

1389
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: I knew this. I knew you would have a response

1390
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: to this. I don't You can say whatever you want

1391
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: to say. I'm just asking you've waited twenty years, first

1392
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: of all, to watch during the show with you guys.

1393
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: That's as you've waited twenty years since this Brown's reboot

1394
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: to have a team that's worth a damn a team

1395
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: to get excited about, and you're locking up against them

1396
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: in week three in their first Sunday Night game, and like,

1397
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: just don't have to pick it against first of all,

1398
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: if the Browns lose, which is going to be a

1399
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 1: mess because I have to watch it in here, it's

1400
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: can be those comes like oh, I wonder what's going

1401
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: on with Baker Mayfield? Hey Mark, what do you think

1402
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: is going on with Baker Mayfield? As we're all sitting

1403
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: here in like stale Chinese food before we do our

1404
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: Sunday Night recap total disaster. Would rather be literally anywhere

1405
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: than here during there are more up and miserable now

1406
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: then when they suck it, because because I'm hearing things

1407
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: like you're out of purgatory. Everything's perfect now, Why won't

1408
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: they just go six and o or five and one?

1409
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: They have major issues. They have a quarterback. I wish

1410
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: your issues you have a quarterback to your quarterback is

1411
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: out for three weeks. I feel bad. I feel bad.

1412
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, like, alight, let me have nothing. You think

1413
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: the Browns are this five and one team that's just

1414
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: gonna roll to this record. No, I don't think I'm wrong,

1415
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: but I think they could easily beat the Rams. I

1416
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: picked the Rams at home. I picked the Rams in

1417
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: what I think is close to a coin flip game.

1418
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 1: Uh the Browns are slight underdogs. That feels about right.

1419
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: The Rams have major issues. As West mentioned on the offensive,

1420
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: Brazilian is any team in the second half, so they've

1421
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: they've found a way to win when they're not playing

1422
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: their best offense will be. The defense definitely looks good.

1423
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: But if there's a defensive line out there ready to

1424
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: victimize what's been a struggling Rams o line, including Andrew

1425
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: Witworth who's coming off one of his worst getting of

1426
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: his career, I mean, it's Miles Garrett, and it's it's

1427
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon and and it's Sheldon Richardson getting after it.

1428
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about Baker Mayfield being out of sinc.

1429
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Jared goffin sync yet. I haven't seen.

1430
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: Just because Cooper Cup ran over half of the uh

1431
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: ST secondary doesn't mean that Jared Goffton sinc. I don't

1432
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: think that Baker Mayfield the player is like a lesser

1433
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 1: player than last year. I think the offense in general

1434
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: has lost some of its sort of daring do and

1435
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: they justin swaggering completely control down the stretch last year

1436
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: and they they look completely different. And I would like

1437
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,799
Speaker 1: to see Nick Chubb be like thirty more the engine

1438
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: to this offense anyway over the first two weeks. And

1439
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 1: if Mayfield is getting a little scrambled against Greg Williams,

1440
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: I think Wade Phillips is gonna cook up a lot.

1441
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen you've seen some good Wade Phillips

1442
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: sacks where guys are just getting in free. That's mostly

1443
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: what Clay Matthews and Fowler have gotten this year is

1444
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: just kind of free looks at a quarter. If I'm

1445
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: a you have a safety trio which might be the

1446
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: best in the entire NFL in terms of their smarts

1447
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: and playmaking, and John Johnson, h Eric Weddle and their

1448
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: rookie Taylor Rap who's basically playing as a starter, and

1449
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: those guys have been hovering back there and it's been

1450
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: tough to make big place find out Sunday night. If

1451
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: I'm a such a fool about this, I said that

1452
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: about the Jets game too. Though it's like a team,

1453
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 1: a team that's rising the way that we want to

1454
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: put I think part of it is like, let's put

1455
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: them there so that when they don't get there, we

1456
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: have someone to like shoot arrows at. They're not there yet.

1457
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,560
Speaker 1: They should have been a team that's there would have

1458
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: beaten the Jets. It's more of that they would not

1459
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: have done what they did. They could not finish drives

1460
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: that you tell me they were not extremely frustrating from

1461
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: an offensive standpoint, it's more than if they do. When

1462
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's just sort of annoying you locked against them,

1463
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: like I remember once picked against you know, the Patriots Jets.

1464
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: They won. It's just like, why pick against your favorite team?

1465
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: Breg You know what's annoying locking the Browns up and

1466
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: having them give up forty three points at home after

1467
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: an offseason and everyone putting bells and whistles on them

1468
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: before they pick out the annoying games because I did

1469
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:57,919
Speaker 1: pick I did that last tell what's gonna be? Okay?

1470
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: I think it is going to be. I just I

1471
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: find to annoying that it's like you're a Browns fan,

1472
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: everything is perfect for you now, only in this nonsense.

1473
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: Literally we're saying that on the last show, and in

1474
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: the show why I feel like this is a creation

1475
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: of false dichotomy that they either have to be world

1476
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: beaters who live up to the hype, or they have

1477
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: there have to be doormats who don't. They're just a

1478
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 1: team right now about They're just Let's move on. That's

1479
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 1: that was interesting. That was wild. That was Monday Night football.

1480
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:35,520
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears travel to It's great, uh, to Washington

1481
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: to face the Redskins. Uh. Your final wounded animal game,

1482
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: your cornered Animal game, uh West. This is a big

1483
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: game in a primetime spot for Mitch Robinski. I think

1484
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 1: this that's what I'll be watching the most here because

1485
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: for number one, you have a Redskins defense that going

1486
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: into the season people said, oh, this is the unit

1487
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 1: everyone's sleeping on the Redskins day that can carry this

1488
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: team and make them frisky and they could hang around

1489
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: in the NFC East and in the playoff picture. Well

1490
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: that has been You cannot get further from the case

1491
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: from the case. So far, they've given up plus thirty

1492
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: in both games. They're getting beat up. People are talking

1493
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: about Greg Manuski, maybe his jobs in trouble. Well, if

1494
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Mr Robinsky goes in there after that miracle win to

1495
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: get to one and one and lays another egg, or

1496
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: looks stiff or lacks confidence and they somehow lose this game.

1497
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:27,560
Speaker 1: It's the pressure is gonna be outrageous Entrabisky, and I

1498
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll be able to handle a big game. Well.

1499
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: The Redskins defense, it's sort of hit or miss. They've

1500
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: been stingy at times this year, the first half of

1501
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,799
Speaker 1: the opener against the Eagles, the first half against the Cowboys.

1502
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 1: Last year. They are extremely banged up in their secondary,

1503
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,839
Speaker 1: to the point where they were playing safeties at cornerback

1504
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. So I think that's part of the

1505
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: disappointment with their defense. But you're right that with Trabinsky,

1506
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: you would have reason to believe that he'd improve in

1507
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: his second year. With Matt Naggy, that they get David Montgomery,

1508
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,879
Speaker 1: they get cor Darrel Patterson, the offensive line returns intact,

1509
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: they still have trek Co and there's no reason to

1510
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: believe he shouldn't be better. And he has been a

1511
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: sort of Jacklin high quarterback. He has had some of

1512
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: the worst games imaginable, and then he's had games where

1513
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: the Bears offense looks dynamic that was last year. This

1514
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: year we've yet to see that. So I think the

1515
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: onus is on him now to kind of prove all

1516
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:21,719
Speaker 1: the doubters wrong. If he's going to be the answer

1517
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: for the Bears, it should be a nice spot for him, though,

1518
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it is, And yet I don't feel

1519
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 1: that comfortable that the Bears are gonna win this game.

1520
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: This could have been a double wounded animal game if

1521
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: not for a shaky call and a great kid. We

1522
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: have any of those, I don't think. And the Bears,

1523
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: especially even at one and one, don't feel like they're

1524
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: out of that you know, wounding stage. I don't think

1525
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: they feel very comfortable right now with where they're at

1526
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 1: in general. Uh this, I mean, this is it is

1527
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 1: a great matchup, and yet, you know, I always kind

1528
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: of feel like Colt McCoy j like they they're a

1529
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 1: little better than you think, you know what I mean,

1530
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna case Keenum, They're gonna fine, sorry not Cole

1531
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: mcquite that They're they're gonna find a way to just

1532
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 1: win five games this year. That's like, oh how did

1533
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: the Redskins? And I feel like this could very easily

1534
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: be one and let's give case Keendom some love. It's

1535
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 1: been swallowed up by the fact that they've gotten beaten twice.

1536
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 1: He's been fine, but he's been fine. You could say

1537
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: he's been better than fine. He's been a lot more

1538
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: of when we expect because he did not look good

1539
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: at all, uh leading up to Week one, and he

1540
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: has been far from the problem. Yeah, I think he's

1541
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: sort of what you expect with Case Keenom, that he's

1542
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna do a few things well and he's gonna, like

1543
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: you said, win a couple of games for a team

1544
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: that largely doesn't matter this season. They might get Jonathan

1545
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Allen and Jordan read Back, but the secondary, as West mentioned,

1546
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 1: seems like it's gonna stay banged that. I'd say, if

1547
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: you're the if you are the if you're tied into

1548
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: the Bears experience, they remind me of another team that

1549
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: they have after the last year, a lot of expectations.

1550
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: If you dropped this game against a very mediocre Redskins

1551
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: team in a in a lackluster stadium on Monday night,

1552
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: you have you are in a world of hurt and

1553
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: you are out. You're not coming back from one and two.

1554
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: I know that's sounds crazy, but this team tell you're

1555
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: broadcasting that you cannot handle joy, you cannot handle this journey.

1556
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: If you go one and two, they need to come

1557
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: in and drop a bomb on the Redskins. You come out,

1558
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: you come home and play the Vikings at home, and

1559
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: then you go to Oakland and into your by. So

1560
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it would end their season,

1561
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: but it would really ramp up the pressure. And again,

1562
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: this is a team that it You know, when you

1563
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: look back at the summer, the writing was right there

1564
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: on the wall is like all they the only narrative

1565
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,680
Speaker 1: coming out of that camp was the Kicker thing. And

1566
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: it's almost too obvious now that they're going to have

1567
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: struggles from all other directions and make it rendering all

1568
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: that summer talk silly. It seems to happen sometimes with teams,

1569
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 1: and this feels like one of those circumstances. Couldn't It

1570
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,759
Speaker 1: could also render a week three talk silly if they

1571
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: take off. We're talking about a team I think in

1572
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: the Maggie era they've never lost by more than one score. Wow,

1573
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: they have a recipe to be to be a lot better.

1574
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win. I could see Khalil mac

1575
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, with a pick six and someone else with

1576
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: a they're gonna score like twelve points. On defense, Trabisky

1577
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: is gonna put up three field goals and make one

1578
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: throw that everyone's freaking out about, despite fifteen in completions

1579
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: where the balls sailing yards after someone's head. I mean,

1580
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna get it's the full experience. They're gonna they

1581
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: should win this game, though. You cannot lose this and

1582
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: come up with excuses. So that he's you know, under fire.

1583
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins quarterback also under five. We've got some breaking news.

1584
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: They still count enough that Josh Rosen experiences on in Miami.

1585
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna start this week against the Cowboys. They count

1586
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 1: enough to announce who they're starting quarterbacks. Makes well, my

1587
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: pick is starting to look very frisky. He's getting a

1588
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: lot that my pick is getting a lot of sort

1589
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 1: of rookie minicamp. This guy is impressing coaches. You know,

1590
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: he he has been under pressed. I mean they're offensive line,

1591
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: as Daniel Jeremia said, it might be the worst in

1592
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: NFL history. I don't know about the team that the

1593
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,560
Speaker 1: old line is there. So he went from one of

1594
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,600
Speaker 1: the worst offenses of the decade, last year in Arizona,

1595
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: which he contributed to to be fair rookie, and now

1596
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: he goes to maybe the new worst offense of the decade,

1597
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,759
Speaker 1: where he could his health is in peril playing behind

1598
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: that OH line. I just don't know. I don't expect

1599
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 1: any advancements in his career this year, and I just

1600
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: worry about whether he'll ever recover from these first two

1601
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: years or this is the narrative and his career is

1602
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: ruined by just fate. This is when I go on

1603
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: Craigslist and find I hire people to kidnap me and

1604
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: build a story of huge sympathy. Josh Rosen has been

1605
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: kidnapped by someone. We don't know who it is, but

1606
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: we you know, behind the scenes exactly, and he's with

1607
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: Tom House and pick your guy. So the entire time

1608
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 1: during the abduction, he's working on his game. When he

1609
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: re emerges from the bunker, oh I survived this. They

1610
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: never showed their faces. I'll never be able to say

1611
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: who it is, and I'll always live with that fear.

1612
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: But I have to be brave and move on. And

1613
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: I still want to play football because people doubted me

1614
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: my love of the game. But I've come out of

1615
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: this realizing the football is more important than almost anything

1616
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 1: besides God and family, and I'll going anywhere. Meanwhile, he's

1617
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: built up his entire body, his arms. Great Tom House

1618
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: will keep that secret. Taken to the great, and away

1619
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: we go. Like he spent three months on the Commissioner's

1620
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: non injury has he already has like a behind the

1621
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: scenes reality show produced by t D Uninterrupted. It's all

1622
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: it's all happening. Wait, we got to breaking news though.

1623
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 1: The more I forgot to make by a lock. So

1624
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make an unprecedented lock. It's on Thursday night football.

1625
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: It's a Tennessee Titans. Now we're separating out. That's the

1626
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: team I do believe in the most. So even though

1627
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: we can do that now, even though you know this

1628
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: might already be wrong to some of the listeners, tune

1629
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: in on Friday or Saturday. I like the Titans. D

1630
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,879
Speaker 1: like that move to swarm Gardner minshew good, they're more athletic.

1631
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: All right, that's it. Yes, as Greg just alluded to,

1632
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: for the first time, we'll have a mini pod that

1633
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: will drop Thursday night. I believe Mark, you and I
