1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcasting Mitchell. Week eight

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: was a tough one for the San Francisco forty nine ers.

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: They went up against a very stout Houston Texans defense,

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: and I knew it would be tough. I knew this

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: game would be tough, especially with the injuries on the

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: offensive line. But they've played solid the injuries everywhere, really,

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: But the thing I couldn't predict was was how the

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers defense would play against the

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans offense. And they just weren't unable to get

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: off the field this game. It's not like they were

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: playing horrible, but they just kept you know, they couldn't

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: get a stop on third down. They allowed CJ. Strout

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: to dink and dunk his way, especially in the first half.

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, fifteen played draw, sixteen played draw, very long drive,

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: time consuming drives in the first half. Before the last drive,

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: the final drive where they got a touchdown after the

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: kick return. San Francisco's offense had i mean all of

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: ten plays maybe in the game, and it's it's for

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. You know, the funck is spread

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: out throughout. Uh, some of it was s cobbatic. I

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: saw plays where they were play action and and and

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the plays have to look legitimate. They're pulling the center

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: around and that's a play they run U But you

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: end up with Hennessy on will Anderson, who's one of

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: the best pass the National Football League, and I've Houston.

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: Then later on, later on in the second quarter, you

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: end up with a play where they're deep play action

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: and you end up with Juan Jennings h blocking Danil

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Hunter one on one, not even just like a chip

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: block or or assistant one on one block. And I mean,

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: you can never expect the receiver to win those matchups.

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: And obviously that's not the way Kyle Shanahan drew it up,

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: but that's the way it ended up. And and those

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: are tough plays. That's just two out of the teer.

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: You know, some of those players were rushes that weren't successful.

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: Some of them were you know, incompletions where you receive

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: a random bad router, Mac Jones scrambled and then Juwan

38
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Jennings get some face mask call. It just was a

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: number of things that held to San Francisco forty nine

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: ers back in this game. In the first half, and

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: you cannot do it a game that you could have

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: easily won, even with all the mistakes, with all the

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: issues that they had going forward. Christian McCaffrey only gets

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: eight carries in his game for twenty five yards. There

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: were some moments where it looked like he had some openings,

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: but you just ran out of time and they only

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: had the ball at San Francisco's offense only had the

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: ball for eighteen minutes and thirty eight seconds of his game.

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: That's that That is ridiculous. That is be at one

50
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: point the time possession differential with thirty minutes for Houston

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: in six minutes fifty seven seconds or so for San Francisco.

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: That that can't happen in a game, I mean, regardless

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: of the team. And Houston's offense has struggled throughout the season,

54
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: and they were without Nico Collins. And I understand San

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Francisco's is without two of the best players in the

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: National Football League and Nicholas John Bosa and Fred Warner.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: But you cannot have it. You got to either be

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: able to play man or zone, and they could not

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: in this game. They couldn't man him without getting beat.

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: They couldn't play zone, you won man and Betune. Bethune

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: comes up and hug rushes and a running back slips

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: out for a fifty yard game game. That is an

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: unacceptable play. That's an unacceptable mistake in a game like this,

64
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: and that was one of the biggest plays of the

65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: game that you can't have. That's not hey, they schemed

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: something open, or they they had made a great play,

67
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: or they drew something up, or he broke a tackle.

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: That's just hey, I just got you know, aggressive, and

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I made a mistake and I thought I had something

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: and you didn't like you. Never as the outside rusher

71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: when it's three on two because usually it's three on

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: two or two on one with the back with between

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: the linebackers, they're splitting them. If he goes one way,

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: one backer is responsible for him. If he goes the

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: other way, the other backer at the tight end in

76
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the back. Stay in three on two. Uh, the backers

77
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: and maybe a safety sometimes are responsible for him. So

78
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: when when when this happens and he goes one way

79
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: and that's Bethune's coverage, you have to stay with them.

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can hug rush if he if he if

81
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: he picks up on the interior and you could hug

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: rush to your coverage. You never hug rush when your

83
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: coverage is drifting. You don't get the hug rushed in

84
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: because your your coverage is drifting, so you have to

85
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: watch him. But if you drift with them and you say, hey,

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to go through the running back to the quarterback,

87
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: nobody has a problem with it because that's your coverage

88
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and he has to protect. But that was that was

89
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: one of the many mistakes on the defense today, and

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: you cannot have them, especially when you're under man and

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: the way they were. They finally broke their streak of

92
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: their lack of interceptions in the game and Diamador Leonor

93
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: got one right before the half, and even that play,

94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: even that play that was right after San Francisco got

95
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: seven points. If if Diamador somehow, you know, not that

96
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: this was expected, somehow has to wear with and he

97
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: was right there on the sideline to just get a

98
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: couple and then step out, that might be another three

99
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: where you look up and and and Eddie Panero has

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: a chance to get a field going and you get

101
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: ten points and under a minute to go into the half.

102
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean you this may be a different ball game,

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: down to stretch and and so those were some of

104
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: the things that I saw in this game that were issues.

105
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: The offensive line continues to be an issue. There were

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: plays where where Colton mckivit's was obviously overwhelmed by by

107
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: Will Anderson, but sometimes it was it was just Will

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Anderson is a great passoriss and you gotta give him.

109
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: Sometimes great players will be great, and sometimes it was

110
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: like Colton mckivivit's footwork was off and and he's standing

111
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: square where where it looks like it's an obvious pass

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: past passing down the quarterbacks in the gun and your

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: feet are square. And I'm not on offensive line expert,

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: but there's no way I'm sitting there feet square Will

115
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: Anderson standing in front of me, Mitchell, I'm not even

116
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: if I have a chip, even if I have a

117
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: double chip, I'm prepared to set. And it just was

118
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: a hard game to watch from the offensive perspective, all

119
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: of the defensive perspective. You give kudos to the special

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: teams because you know a lot of times there's issues

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: on special teams, but they did their jobs today. Brian

122
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Robinson had a huge return along with the fifteen yard

123
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: penalty to get them in scoring range, to get that

124
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: touchdown before the half, which was the only reason they

125
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: had a chance in this game. But there were just

126
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: too many issues, too many drops, too many mistakes, and

127
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: you can't have that, especially when you already have so

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: many things going against you. Against a great defense. They

129
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: only allow fifteen points in two hundred and twenty three

130
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: yards in this game. The defense gave up four hundred

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: and seventy five yards to a Houston offense that's been

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: a bysmal wall season. Again, there's not much you could

133
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: say about that other then you can't have it.

134
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: You got to play better than this. Well, Richard, I

135
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: hope I didn't jinxx it. We were together this week

136
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: and I told you, I said, I think the Niners

137
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: got a relatively easy one on the road against Houston,

138
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: and you told me to be patient because this Houston's

139
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: defense is a lot better than people realize. Houston got

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: embarrassed on national television Money Night Football last week in Seattle.

141
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: I mean, they look horrendous on offense, you know, but

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: for Derek Stingley and that defense really keeping them in

143
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: the game and making it more competitive than it probably looked.

144
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: The Texans would have got run off the map. But

145
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: you know, like you said, this team offensively hasn't done

146
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: anything all year. You know how much I guess how

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: much pressure was on them from their coaching staff. Being

148
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: two and four entering this game and really a much

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: win situation. You see the Colts doing what they're doing

150
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: in the division, it looks like they're going to walk

151
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: away with this thing, and now they come away with

152
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: a huge win. But as you already stressed on, I

153
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: mean the fact that they possessed the ball for almost

154
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes the Houston Texans did in that first half.

155
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: It was the most time of possession since two thousand

156
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: and nine. I mean, Richard, have you ever been a

157
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: part of a dominant performance like that, whether it's your offense,

158
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: you know, toting the load, or you on the other

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: side defensively, being on the field for that long. What

160
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: does it do to you and your mentality as a corner,

161
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: as a defensive end, as a defensive tackle, as a linebacker,

162
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: when you're on the field for that long.

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough, but you also get a rhythm like

164
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever been I'm sure I can't

165
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: say we've never been on the field that long, because

166
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure we've had a game or two we've been

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: on the field that long, but we probably made a

168
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: play or two. You know, there's gonna be a turn off.

169
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna take the ball away. You give me that

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: many chances. You give the great defenders we had on

171
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: our defense that many chances at the ball. It's a

172
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: lot of plays. We're gonna make a play. We had

173
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight play game a game where I

174
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: played one hundred and eight steps Mitchell when we tied

175
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: the game six to six. So it's not a lot

176
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: of long games that we're just giving up a ton

177
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: of points. But we've given up points at times in games,

178
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: no question about it. But we've also made some plays

179
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: in those games. But it wears you down, and especially

180
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: with a young defense. You got a young defensive line,

181
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: you got young linebackers in the game, young secondary mistakes

182
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: are bound to happen. And when you have a veteran group,

183
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: you know that guys are calm and communicating. It's not

184
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: always perfect perfect. It's not like, hey, things are gonna

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: just be great because you have vets back there, but

186
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: you know that guys are processing. Guys are seeing the

187
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: same looks. These receivers aren't world beating beaters. Braxton Burials,

188
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: I think was the only receiver and I'm not mistaken

189
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: with that had over one hundred catches in his career

190
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: in this game. And you had Higgins, you had Hutchinson,

191
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: you had a couple guys, inexperienced guys. We're pressing them up.

192
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: We're making you beat us with them. If we're gonna blitz,

193
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna press them and you're gonna have to make

194
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: real tight window throws. You're gonna have to push the

195
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: ball down the field, and we're likely gonna take the

196
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: ball from you. We can predictable situations. A veteran group

197
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: is gonna talk you through and we're gonna get off

198
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: the field. And that's what was the tough part to watch.

199
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: You knew they didn't have any veterans. You knew that

200
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: it was going to be difficult. A defense that hadn't

201
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: had an interception in a very long time was going

202
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: to have a hard time getting an interception in this game.

203
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: And C. J.

204
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Strout took advantage of that fat and he attacked everybody.

205
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: He attacked all over the field, whether it was a linebackers.

206
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: We saw checkdowns and twing routes go for long games.

207
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: We saw whenever they needed a third down they had

208
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: it and mistackle. Whether it's double slant early on in

209
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: the game, it was double slant that went for a

210
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: first down on third and eight. It's like, you cannot

211
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: have that, and they'll learn from this. They have to

212
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: learn from this. But they these are things that are

213
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: easily correctable. This wasn't a talent issue. This wasn't a

214
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: schematic issue. This was a lack of execution and guys

215
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: not really be being prepared for the moment, I think.

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: And so you got to give Houston a lot of

217
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: credit because, like you said, their defense, they had four

218
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: turnovers last week against the Seattle Seahawks and a touchdown.

219
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: So you talked about that deepen against the Seattle Seahawks.

220
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks was with stand that, and that's a testament

221
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: to their execution and their offense and Sam Donald and

222
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: what he's able to do. But even on the touchdown,

223
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: they had to j C in on the double post.

224
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald had a man in his face and j

225
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: C and had Derek Stingley on his back. Still touchdown,

226
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: but tight windows. And when you usually when you get

227
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: four turnovers in the game as a defense, you expect

228
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: to win that game. Now, I've been part of games

229
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: where we've had five turnovers and not won the game,

230
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: but you expect majority of the time you win those games.

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: And so.

232
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: I know CJ. Stroud and those guys probably took took

233
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: pride and saying, hey, we can't let our defense down

234
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: like that. Again. He threw for three hundred and eighteen yards,

235
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and the one interception that we talked about,

236
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: But he was really efficient. He looked like the guy

237
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: that he's been the last couple of years in total command,

238
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: poised in the pocket, he used his legs when he

239
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: needed to, he used his arms when he needed to,

240
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: and they came out with a big win. Forty nine

241
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: has got an opportunity next week against another very strong

242
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: pass rush in the New York Giants. They go to

243
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: New York to Met Life to play that team. They

244
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: got banged up this week. They're gonna have to make

245
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: a move for a pass rusher. They're gonna have to

246
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: make some moves on defense. You got go into next

247
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: week with that same pass rush. There there was I

248
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: think the quarterback only got hit once in this game,

249
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: and that was twenty eight minutes into the game, I think,

250
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: before he got hit by anybody, And you can't have that.

251
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: They were blitzing. They were they It didn't seem like

252
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: there was any answers. Obviously, there were times that guys

253
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: came free up and Stout came free on a blitz,

254
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: but even then CJ. Shroud was able to avoid him

255
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: get the ball out. It was still a loss. But

256
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: you can't blitz like that all the time because it

257
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: makes your defense unsound that there ends up being holes

258
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: and it ends up being bigger issues in the back end.

259
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: So you gotta find a way to get there before

260
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: and somebody has to win. And you're hoping that one

261
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: of these young guys steps it up and gets there,

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: but clearly they need one more piece. They need somebody

263
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: else to help get them home or it's gonna be rough.

264
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: Because Jackson Dart in the New York Giants. They had

265
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: a rough game against Philadelphia Eagles this week, but they've

266
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: shown flashes. They've shown that hey, if he has time,

267
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: he can duel with his legs. The forty nine ers

268
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: have always had issues with mobile quarterbacks. So you're hoping

269
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: they get that solved and they can get some pressure

270
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: on this young quarterback and they can come out of

271
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: New York with a win and that be huge. But

272
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: it's up in the air right now, because that pass

273
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: rush can change everything, no.

274
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: Question about that, Richard. This Houston Texan seemed just outright

275
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: looked like the more desperate team to me this day.

276
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: And but for the faithful, like you said, I think

277
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: a trade can help save this season. There's no question

278
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: about it. There's talent everywhere on this roster. Got to

279
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: get CMC gone. Obvious the play calling was not in

280
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: his direction when you're down so much. But this team

281
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: get him back at home, get him on the right

282
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: side of the football again. You know. Obviously they're gonna

283
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: have to go on the road against Jackson Dart. We'll

284
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: see what happens there. But while we're talking about the Giants,

285
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: why don't we keep talking about the Giants because they

286
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: went on the road today and played Philly and they

287
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: got beat up pretty good thirty eight to twenty. You know,

288
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: Philly six and two. Now the Giants offered obviously suffer

289
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: a huge loss with Cam scataboo, Richard. I want to

290
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: talk about one play in particular. We were talking during

291
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: the middle of the game. You know, a lot has

292
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: been up in the air about this push push and

293
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: how to officiate it. And we saw a play when

294
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: the game was seven to seven early on Jalen Hurts,

295
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, standard fourth and one from about the twelve

296
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: yard line. It comes up, pushes forwards, extending forward, still

297
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: moving forward, extends the ball forward, and Brian Burns knocks

298
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: it out. Clear fumble, at least in my eyes, clear fumble.

299
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: I'm assuming in your eyes clear fumble. I would assume

300
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: in everyone's eyes except for the Philadelphia Eagles fan base, Richard,

301
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: how ridiculous is this officiating becoming? In officiating the tush push,

302
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: I feel like they're getting way too much leniency. This

303
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: was not at the goal line. This was at about

304
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: the ten or twelve yard line, and they called ford

305
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: progress stopped when it was clear the ball was dislodged.

306
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on what's going on with this

307
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: tushbush because to me, it's just getting absolutely ridiculous.

308
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a tough play to officiate, you know,

309
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: just with the way the offensive lines moving and all

310
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: that and a pushing and it's hard to see where

311
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the ball is at the time. But you can't give

312
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: them this play. This play is one of the worst

313
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: of all of it. You know, you can argue both

314
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: sides for the false starts and stuff like that. It's

315
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: a bang bang, it's happening fast. It's hard for the

316
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: officials to see it. Eagles are really good at it.

317
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: You give them all the credit in the world that, Hey,

318
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be tough. That's part of the game,

319
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: that's part of the pushing pool of the NFL. Good

320
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: luck officiating it. But this play, you can't have it

321
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: both ways. You can't say, hey, we're gonna allow them

322
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: to push the runner forward and let them go as

323
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: far as they can and go and go and go

324
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: until we feel like it's been stopped, and then say, hey,

325
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: but if he turns the ball over, we're gonna stop

326
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the play. If he turns the ball over, and then

327
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: his progress was stopped because his progress wasn't stopped, he

328
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: was still being pushed. And so it can't work both ways.

329
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: If he's still being pushed and you're saying, hey, there

330
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: there have been times that Jalen Hurts has been stopped

331
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: on that play and then got an extra push and

332
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: got the first down. There's plays, it's been stagnant, it's

333
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: been stale. Made it and they didn't blow it dead

334
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: and say progress has been stopped because they knew that. Hey,

335
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: if they keep pushing him, you give it an extra

336
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: you give it an extra tick, you give it extra

337
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: second or so eventually the Philadelphia Eagles will offensive line

338
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: or Goddard or whoever's pushing is gonna push him across

339
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: the line. In this as they're pushing him, he tries

340
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: to stretch the ball out because clearly he didn't feel

341
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: like he had it with just an initial push, so

342
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: he was going to put the ball out. You never

343
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: put the ball in arms way because it's not the

344
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: end zone. Coaches for many years have emphasized that you

345
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: cannot unless it's fourth down for the game. You don't

346
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: put the ball over the goal line. You don't. That's

347
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: just what they say, and that's like one of the

348
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: cardinal sins of football. Obviously, Hurts felt like he had

349
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: to do it. He put it out there. Kevon Thibodau

350
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: was the guy who rips it away immediately It wasn't like, hey,

351
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: they wrestled it, wrestled with it for a second, he

352
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: immediately rips it away, balls out, recovers the ball.

353
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 2: That was.

354
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: It didn't even seem like a controversial call to me

355
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: in real time if you're just watching it as a

356
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: as a casual observer observer, you see that happen and

357
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: you're saying, okay, that's a turnover on downs like giants.

358
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: Ball, great football play, great football.

359
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Play by Thibodeau, and moment for Jamen Hurts. You can't

360
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: put the ball out unless you unless it's the goal.

361
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, the easy lesson, and it gives the commentators

362
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: an easy thing to talk about, like, hey, if you're

363
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: a tailing Hurts, you can't make that play. You can't

364
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: put the ball in Harm's way on a play like this.

365
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: You just got to keep it tucking and keep pushing

366
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: and trust your team's gonna get you the first down.

367
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: But to give them the ball back on that play was,

368
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna ruffle some feathers about this play.

369
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 1: And it's less about the push push, honestly, than it

370
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: is about just the officiating. The piss poor officiating on

371
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: that play. And the Eagles fans were up in arms

372
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: about a play on I think Scataboos touchdowns where they

373
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: felt like it was a holding call that went on

374
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: call that happens almost every play in the National Football League,

375
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: Are you guys justified? Probably more than likely that there

376
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: was probably a holden call. But if you look on

377
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: just about every play offensive play in National Football League,

378
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: he is a defender. I'll tell you. There's plenty of

379
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: things we wish we're called on the offense and they

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: aren't called. And there's plenty of things that probably could

381
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: be called on the Giants offense, whether it's hands to

382
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: the face. There's probably plays that they missed throughout the game.

383
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: What rarely happens is that they miss on a change

384
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: of possession turnover. Refs rarely miss on a change of

385
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: possession turnover, especially when on a play like that where

386
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: forward progress is so murky, like it's so ambiguous, like you.

387
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: If they called stop forward progress on a lot of

388
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: these toush bushes, they wouldn't. The Eagles wouldn't get a

389
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: lot of them because there are times that defense stagnates them,

390
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: that there's push from the D line that initially stagnates

391
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: them and then the Eagles push over and they get

392
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: the first down. So if you went by the layer

393
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: of the law every single time, then they'd be blowing

394
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: the whistle a lot earlier and Eagles fans would be

395
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: very frustrated. So with the rest of the league, because

396
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: that's not fair, that's not football. You let him fight

397
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: for the yard at which they were doing. That's what

398
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst was doing. It was fighting for yards and

399
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: they took the ball from him. So the same thing

400
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: that that benefits them kind of bit them this time.

401
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: So you just have to let it happen, you know.

402
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: You can't just say, hey, this time it was the

403
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: forward progress was stoped. We just didn't bowl the whistle.

404
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: You didn't bowl the whistle because forward progress wasn't stopped

405
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: and he was still pushing and fighting for yards and

406
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: they were still pushing it and there was a chance

407
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: he was gonna get more yards. So it's gonna be

408
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough one to defend, no question

409
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: about it, for the National Football League. And I'm pretty

410
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: sure the league is gonna come back and say the

411
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: rest got that one wrong.

412
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: I would assume as much because everyone I talked to

413
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: when that play happened, said, what is going on here? Uh,

414
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: at some point this has to be corrected because, like

415
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: I said, it is getting absurd. And on the other side,

416
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: away from this play, the Eagles looked darn good offensively.

417
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley got it going, big touchdown run, sixty five

418
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: yard of rush for one hundred and fifty yards. You know,

419
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: obviously left the game a little bit early with as

420
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: a precautionate measure with a groin injury. But is it

421
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: safe to say this Eagle teams is back and hum

422
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: and offensively, They've had a couple of good games in

423
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 2: a row. Have you liked what you've seen from them offensively?

424
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: No question about it, no question about it. Especially Jalen Hurts.

425
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: He didn't have the big yardish game that he did

426
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: the week before, but he had four touchdowns in the game,

427
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: four passing touchdowns. He was efficient with the football. They

428
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: didn't throw a ton, he didn't put it in harms

429
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: way outside of the fumble non fumble on that play

430
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: that they end up getting back. But I think I

431
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: think they're playing better. I think they're playing confident, especially

432
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: in a tough, tough division. Game against the team who

433
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: showed they could they could get a win against you.

434
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: He was able to do his thing and to be aggressive.

435
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: Devonte Smith continues his stear season six catches for eighty

436
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: four yards. They were able to execute this way and

437
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Jalonn hurt was able to spread the ball around in

438
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: this game. Dallas got her got two touchdowns, Johan Dotson

439
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: got a touchdown, and Saquon bark was able to get

440
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: one through the air, so he was able to spread

441
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: it out when they when they have a game where

442
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: they're missing aj Brown, they have to depend on others.

443
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: They were still able to win double digit win against

444
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: the division opponent, a team who's playing with some desperation,

445
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: some inspiration, a new young quarterback giving him a little juice.

446
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: Obviously they were a little deflated with with the Camscatibul injury.

447
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: But yes that both sides of the football are playing

448
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: better for the Philadelphia Eagles and and j having Jalen

449
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: Hurts in Jalen carter back in the fold and playing

450
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: well obviously helps.

451
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: And before we leave this game, we hate to see

452
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: camp Stataboo out prayers up to him. Brutal injury. I'm

453
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: assuming he's going to be out for the long haul.

462
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: more yards in seven straight October games. His over is

463
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: only forty seven and a half.

464
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: That would be nice to see him back in the

465
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: lineup and achieve that over. Deebo Samuel has scored a

466
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: touchdown in four straight road games. Washington has covered the

467
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: spread in four consecutive games against AFC West. They're eleven

468
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: and a half point dogs.

480
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: Richard, Let's talk about these Baltimore Ravens in desperate need

481
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: of a win. Facing the red hot Bears, winners of

482
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: four straight, four and two. They come in and without

483
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, You're thinking, Okay, this is an opportunity for

484
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: them to get five, and they just didn't look like

485
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: they could match the Ravens energy at all. Tyler Huntley

486
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: had a solid game statistically seventeen to twenty two for

487
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: one eighty six. He did have the one turnover. Dereck

488
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: Henry got back to his scoring ways with two touchdowns.

489
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: What do you make of this Baltimore Ravens team two

490
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: and five? You know they have to have their eyes

491
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: on the Pittsburgh Steelers. This division is still up for grabs.

492
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: Are we counting the Baltimore Ravens out at two and

493
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 2: five or do you think they still have a lot

494
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: of life?

495
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: You just never know. They've taken it out of the

496
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: it's not in their control anymore. All they can do

497
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: is fight and keep grinding and and hope for some

498
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: help because they let themselves get pretty far behind the

499
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: eight ball. They're two and five now with that win.

500
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: Getting Lamar Jackson back will help the Cincinnati Bengals. Losing

501
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: a day against Giant, I mean a Jets team that

502
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: hasn't won a game all season helps them. If Cincinnati

503
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: would have won the day, I think it makes it

504
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: even more difficult for the Baltimore Ravens to come back

505
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: and try to mount a comeback because all the other

506
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: teams are getting full of them. As point conshions to

507
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, he passed Walter Payton for fifth all time

508
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: on the touchdowns list. He had two today. That's a

509
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: huge accomplishment for the future Hall of Fame running back.

510
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley, like you said, did a solid job of

511
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: his best Lamar Jackson impressive personation. He ran the ball

512
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: when you need two seventeen of twenty two through the

513
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: air at one six in the interception. But it was

514
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams interception today that really really defined this game

515
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: because it looked like Hey, even with Baltimore playing the

516
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: way they were with Kyle Hamilton back in the fold,

517
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: with Roquan back, they were still going to have a

518
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: difficult time winning this game. Caleb Williams throws a fourth

519
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: quarter interception down sixteen thirteen on their own four yard line.

520
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: That was it. That was it. That was the game

521
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: right there. If they would have found a way to

522
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: drive the ball down the field to at least tie it.

523
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: But you turn the ball over right there, it made it.

524
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: It made it really difficult. It made it really difficult

525
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: to win that game. And that's a that's a tough

526
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: mistake for a team that's a young quarterback, who's who's

527
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: still getting better, who's still learning. That's a backbreaking mistake

528
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: for a team like you said, that's been red hot

529
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: and won four of the last five and could have

530
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: had had every opportunity to win this game. But give

531
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore a lot of credit. They fought hard on defense,

532
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: they executed good enough on offense to win this game.

533
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: They they're getting Lamar Jackson back after a lot of controversy.

534
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: Still still yet to see how the league is gonna

535
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: respond to the late Lamar Jackson scratch in this game,

536
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: but uh, clearly the the the Baltimore Ravens covered either way,

537
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: So so thank goodness for that, I guess for Vegas,

538
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: but but yeah, they got a short week. We we'll

539
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: see him in Miami this week Thursday Night football. Uh

540
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: We'll be on seven pm Eastern, and we'll see how

541
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: they respond to a to a Miami Dolphins team that

542
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: also got a big win and to a tongue of

543
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: II lower throw for four touchdowns in that game and

544
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: had had some flashes of the old tour of the

545
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: tour of that got paid fifty three million dollars. He he,

546
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: He made some really tight window throws, looked confident, and

547
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: overall the Dolphins looked like a different team. Uh. So

548
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing seeing how that game comes out.

549
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough game to call. With with

550
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson back and Baltimore Ravens defense playing the way

551
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: they they are, I would I would assume they'll be

552
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: favored in that game. But the Bears go to the

553
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Angles coming off a tough, tough game against the

554
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: Jets where the Jets offense found some life scored thirty

555
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: nine points and the Bengals score thirty eight. So clearly

556
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: they're not playing no defense. So if there's any medicine

557
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: in the future for the Chicago Bears, it's right there

558
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and we'll see how that game turns out.

559
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about a team that's very, very much so

560
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 2: red hot, these new England Patriots. We've tried it about

561
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: him for the last three weeks. We said this schedule

562
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: sets up beautifully, and now it looks like it sets

563
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: up even better. Atlanta got waxed today by Miami. Everyone

564
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: thought they were going to take care of business. The

565
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: Patriots play Atlanta next week, but they welcomed Cleveland into

566
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: town today and they took care of business despite giving

567
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: up five sacks to Miles Garrett, who did everything and

568
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: his power to try to make this game competitive. Richard

569
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: Drake May continues his unbelievable start to his second season

570
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty four, two eighty two, three touchdowns, one

571
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: inn sec. He got it done on the ground as well,

572
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: making huge plays with his legs in very important situations

573
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: of this game when it was close. This Patriots team

574
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: is starting to, i think, play with a lot of

575
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: different energy. They look like they're having a lot of

576
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: fun out there. Stefan Diggs is having a reclamation year

577
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: after his injury last year, and he's certainly given this

578
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: wide receiving corps a new element, a new weapon. Richard,

579
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: how dangerous are the New England Patriots because they haven't

580
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: been playing the best competition, but when they win by

581
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: nineteen points today, they look dominant in their performance. I

582
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: guess how scary is this New England Patriots team to

583
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: the division and the rest of the AFC.

584
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's scary but the division because at the top

585
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: of this division right now is the Buffalo Bills. Well,

586
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: actually it may be the New England Patriots, depending on

587
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: how the time breakers. But the New England Patriots beat

588
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in their one meeting this season in Buffalo.

589
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: So it's defly alarming for the Buffalo Bills and their

590
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: fans because Buffalo has run off with this division for

591
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. They've been dominant. They have

592
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: not had to worry about the New England Patriots for

593
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: some time, I mean probably since Tom Brady left uh

594
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: And so to to see them playing well, to see

595
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Drake may playing well, efficient, effective, throwing great deep balls.

596
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: The receivers are starting to get off Booty's starting to

597
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: really show his shine and show why why the Patriots

598
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: been so high on him. Uh. Stefan Diggs again starting

599
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: to show some some some real chemistry with with Drake

600
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: may Uh. It's all starting starting to come together for him.

601
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: And defensively, they're they're continuing to strive to make strides

602
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: and thrive.

603
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

604
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel had a tough game. And it's crazy because

605
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: you hear hurt so much this offseason about shirdor Sanders

606
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: and should he be playing, should he be QB two

607
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: behind Joe Flacco, should he be the starter? And the

608
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: game that I would assume he would have got some

609
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: play as QB two in this game, he he suffers

610
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: an injury and practice and isn't able to be the

611
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: quarterback number two. You just talk about just bad luck

612
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: happening for a guy. You hope he gets healthy soon

613
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: because Browns fans were really excited, the America was really

614
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: excited to potentially see him play, and I think, you know,

615
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: as this game got out of hand, you might have

616
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: seen him get a couple reps, especially after the two interceptions.

617
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: For Dylan Gabriel just kind of a kneemake offense twenty

618
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: one to thirty five one fifty six. He did have

619
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: the two touchdown passes, but it you know, you could

620
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: see the frustration for this defense. Miles Garrett breaks the

621
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: franchise record for saxon the game with five and they

622
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: lose by nineteen and so so you're, again we talked

623
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: about this earlier in the season. You're you want the

624
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: guy to be able to be on a competitive team.

625
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: Could you just imagine any of the contenders, any contenders

626
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: or any fringe contender with Miles Garrett in the fault,

627
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Like the San Francisco forty nine ers give everything they

628
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: can for Miles Garrett. Probably they should with that, with

629
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: that saved their season. I maybe definitely a maybe. He's

630
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: that kind of player and he's not kind of game record,

631
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: but I think he has to be open to the

632
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: possibility of leaving Cleveland if he ever wants that opportunity.

633
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't see a world where they're gonna be competitive

634
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: contenders in his career, in his prime especially, and so

635
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: I can understand the frustration for him. But if I'm

636
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, I'm having a conversation with my agent, I'm

637
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: having a conversation with the front office, and I'm looking

638
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: for an opportunity to win, to play meaningful games. The

639
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: same with Max Crosby. These guys. Guys are incredible talents

640
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: and they're just being wasted in the places they they're at,

641
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: and it's no fault of their own. Nobody can never

642
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: say Miles Garrett is given up or he's not playing

643
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: with ferocious tenacity each and every play, each and every week.

644
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: This man is giving it his all and he deserves

645
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: to play competitive football. He deserves to be in January

646
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: with the potential to play it for the trophy, and

647
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: instead he's playing for potential Defensive Player of the Year

648
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: every year on a team that hopefully wins four or

649
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: five games, and they're picking early in the draft. So

650
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: that's the unfortunate part. But again, this is about the

651
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Patriots and their defense and their offense. They're playing good football,

652
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: like you said, they they have the Falcons coming into town.

653
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: We'll see if they get their starting quarterback back this week.

654
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't appear likely they will, so they'll likely face

655
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: Cousins who didn't necessarily struggle, but just played way too

656
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: conservative in this game, and you could tell he just

657
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: doesn't want to turn the ball over. He's playing risk

658
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: averse football, and that's it's tough to win playing that way.

659
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: So everybody's stacking the box against Jon Robinson and they're

660
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna make you beat him with the pass. No, unless

661
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,959
Speaker 1: Pennix comes back, I think there's very little chance that

662
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons going to New England and win that game.

663
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: And New England being seven and two at that point

664
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: is a great season, and you got to give Braves

665
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: a lot of credit coming in there with a team

666
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: that isn't high on talent, making a number of moves

667
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: and finding a way to win week in and week out.

668
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you would a team like to Tennessee Titan,

669
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: sure would be sure could use a coach like that,

670
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, just a hard nosed coach, just a guy

671
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: who just gets it done, regardless of talent. But unfortunately

672
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: they just fired their coach after less than two years

673
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: following Rabel's departure. Yeah, you know, do you you wonder

674
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: how bad teams stay bad? That's how.

675
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: That's how, no question. Yeah, I mean, back to the

676
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett conversation, he was a talk of the offseason

677
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 2: when he did request the trade, and ultimately he got

678
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: the big payday and chose to stay in town. Richard,

679
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: We've talked about it in a number of times, but

680
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: there is got to come a time where you have

681
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: he's in the prime, his career is about to be

682
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: thirty years old. At some point he's got to put

683
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: his foot down and say, hey, I want to go

684
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 2: play for a competitor. We saw the Dallas Cowboys do

685
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: it with Michael Parsons. We see what kind of return,

686
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: you know, the Cleveland Browns could get for him. Quite frankly,

687
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: they're not winning with him. You might as well go

688
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: out and get two first three first round picks and

689
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: a good player with him to try to help, you know,

690
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: offset some of the bad moves this franchise has made

691
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, namely to Shaun Watson,

692
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: and help free up some cap space a little bit.

693
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: If I'm Brown's ownership, I'm strongly considering trading Miles Garrett

694
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 2: for one to give this guy one of the most

695
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: deb dominant, if not the most dominant defender in this

696
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: sport and opportunity to go win. But I'm also doing

697
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: it for the team and saying, hey, we need to

698
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: factor a reset right here. We need to stockpile as

699
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: many assets as humanly possible. Obviously we're on track for

700
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: another losing season. That's what I would do the Patriots, Richard.

701
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to stand with them here and say they

702
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 2: deserve to be in your top five, your power ranks

703
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: because the way they've been playing football, the way Drake

704
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: may has been playing in the second year, this team

705
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: looks like a true a true team to be scared

706
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: of in the AFC. I'm not going to call them

707
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl contender because I don't think they're that yet,

708
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: but they're a team I would definitely have my eyes

709
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: on because I think they've already shown it. They can

710
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: go to Buffalo and get a win. Who knows what

711
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: could happen come two months from now when we're talking

712
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: playoff time, Richard. We got to give our hats a

713
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: little tip to Aaron Glenn, the first year coach for

714
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: the New York New York Jets. They go on the

715
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: road in Cincy, right against Joe Flacco and the Bengals,

716
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: who had ultimate control of this game, up two scores

717
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: throughout the vast majority of this game, and then Breece

718
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: Hall got going both on the ground and through the air.

719
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: He threw the game winning touchdown to Mason Taylor. And

720
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: as much negativity was spoken on Justin Fields, especially by

721
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: ownership right about him not completing passes and really not

722
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 2: giving this offense a true opportunity, he goes out there

723
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: and guns for two hundred and forty four yards in

724
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: a touchdown. It looks like a totally different quarterback, especially

725
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: in that second half the Jets. Kudos to them thirty

726
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: nine to thirty eight. I know it's it's really meaningless

727
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, but when you're an

728
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: zer to seven team, how important is it to get

729
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: a win in the win column.

730
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: It's huge. It's huge. It's huge for morale in the building.

731
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: And what you could really see in that game is

732
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: that the team didn't give up on him. They didn't

733
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: give up on his coach, on their coach and Aaronklewin Glenn,

734
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: and they didn't give up on their quarterback. They kept

735
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: believing and c J struck. I mean, Justin Fields rewarded

736
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: them with his best, not his best game of the season,

737
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: because he played good early. You know, he's had streaky

738
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: games where he could get hot and be efficient and

739
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: be effective and it definitely was when the New York

740
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: Jets needed it in this game, especially down the stretch.

741
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: Breese Hall was the real MVP of this game. His

742
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: DD throw to Mason Taylor to win the game. He

743
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: double clutched it a few times and was almost falling

744
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: out of bounds where it looked like he was like, ah, well,

745
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: why not give him a chance, and he put it

746
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: up and and Mason Taylor made an incredible catch to

747
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: give them the win. But this game is more of

748
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: a shot at the Cincinnati Bengals, and they're collapse late

749
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: in this game. Joe Flaccough, I thought played good enough

750
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: to win this game two touchdowns. They score thirty eight

751
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: points in the game. But the Keyley's heel of the

752
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, and it's always been. And I'm sure lou

753
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: Anarumo is so excited to be out of there because

754
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: he has the Indianapolis coach defense as a top five

755
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: unit in the National Football League, and he's no longer

756
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: taken the blame for a team that just will not

757
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: invest in their defense. If you look at the way

758
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: their cap hits are dispersed, the amount of money they're

759
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: paying to t Higgins to Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow

760
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: is around ninety two million plus their minds depending on

761
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: the their entire hit for their defense, if I'm not mistaken,

762
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: is eighty two million. So you talk about not investing

763
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: in a defense, this is the result you're going to get.

764
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: And that's not including the offensive line. As skilled players said.

765
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: The other guys that they got to pay on offense,

766
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: that's just those three, and so you have to. And

767
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: then you look at Trey Hendrickson is getting what twenty

768
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: five or thirty of that, and so you look at

769
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: that and obviously pay is in everything. And these are

770
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: still NFL players and DJ Turner's playing great football. Was

771
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna play the touchdown, the game winning touchdown at the

772
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: end of the game. But you gotta invest in your defense. Eventually,

773
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: you got to give him some talent. You got Shamar

774
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Stewart this year, and even that was a was pulling

775
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: teeth to get him into training camp, and they get

776
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: him in because you didn't want to, you know, bend

777
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: on the language and so you gotta do something else.

778
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: In Cincinnati, obviously you got tremendous talent on offense. You

779
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: can score. It's always been the case, but you can't

780
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: stop anybody, and without that, no matter if Joe Burrow

781
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: comes back or who the quarterback is, you won't be

782
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: able to win. But again, shout out to Aaron Glenn

783
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: and everything they were able to do today. A big

784
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: scoring output for the Jets and a huge win. It

785
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: seems like everything Woody Johnson says the opposite is true.

786
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: All you need is Woody Johnson start rooting against you

787
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: Jets and start saying you're bad for you to win it.

788
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: Just you know, he seems like he's doing. I can

789
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: go on for a long time about Woody Johnson, but

790
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: good for the Jets and good for Aaron Glenn. I'm

791
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: happy they got that win.

792
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills took on the Carolina Panthers, and the

793
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 2: Panthers were four and three coming to this game and

794
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: thought it was, hey, maybe an opportunity for them to

795
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: show they can compete with the big boys and take

796
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 2: down the Buffalo Bills. But not today. James Cook got

797
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: going over one hundred and fifty yards rushing in the

798
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 2: first half. He achieved a career high two hundred and

799
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: sixteen rushing yards two touchdowns. You know, obviously they didn't

800
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 2: need much else other than that. Once you get the

801
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: running game established like that, Josh Allen can put up

802
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: Am easily one hundred and sixty three yards and one touchdown,

803
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: and this team can coast to a win, demoralizing defeat

804
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: for the Carolina Panthers, who were relying on Andy Dalton

805
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: who was just getting crushed back there only through for

806
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five yards in a touchdown. The

807
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills are now five and two. They look like

808
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: they're back to their olden selves. Is this the best

809
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 2: team in the AFC?

810
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. They're up there. You know,

811
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: there's a conversation. Are the Kansas City Chiefs back? I mean,

812
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: they want to throw their hat in the ring. Obviously

813
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: they got three valls and so we're not gonna put

814
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: them against put them up above the two lost Buffalo Bills.

815
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: But we know the trauma that the since I mean,

816
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs have given the Buffalo Bills in

817
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: the postseason. So that's something to keep keep an eye on.

818
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: And again we talked about the Buffalo Bills lost back

819
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: to back games. They lost to Atlanta Falcons in a

820
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: game nobody expected they lost to the New England Patriots

821
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: at home. So a forty nine loss, I mean win

822
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers, who have been rolling, who have

823
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: been playing better, looks good. It looks good. We'll give

824
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: them credit. We're not gonna take that away from them.

825
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: But we have to keep an eye on the big

826
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: picture and really keep a full scope of what's been

827
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: happening for the Buffalo Bills. Clearly, they looked incredible in

828
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: this game, James. When James Cook's able to run the

829
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: ball nineteen times for two hundred and sixteen yards and

830
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, it's gonna be a great day. Point and

831
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: they score forty points and huge win. They're five and two,

832
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: But the six and two New England Patriots have a case.

833
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs, now that they're becoming more whole,

834
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: getting Rashie Rice back, their defense playing better, all the

835
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: piece is starting to come back together for him, have

836
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: a case. The Indianapolis Coats and Indiana Jones and Jonathan Taylor,

837
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: two MVP candidates in the top five defense, definitely have

838
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: a case. So I'm not gonna just put the Buffalo Bills. Hey,

839
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: they beat the Carolina Panthers by thirty one point point,

840
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: they're the best team in AFC. Not so fast, my friend. Well,

841
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: we'll see who truly is.

842
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: I mean, next week we got a huge game sun

843
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 2: and have football. The Bills are hosting the Kansas City Chiefs.

844
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: That might be the game of the year that certainly

845
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: must see TV. But the Bills back to their winning ways, Richard.

846
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 2: We talked about it last week. This Miami Dolphins team

847
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: looked they were like they were left for dead. Tua,

848
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: as you said, did not handle himself the best and

849
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: his postgame remarks about team teammates not showing up for meetings.

850
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: You thought that that was not the right time to

851
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: do it. Certainly, you know, questioning his leadership. Do you

852
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: how do you look at him?

853
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: Now?

854
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 2: They go on the road and they dominate. They were

855
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 2: up thirty one points at one points against his Falcons

856
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: team that desperately needed to win as well to stay

857
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 2: competitive in their division. Kirk Cousins comes back and it

858
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: looks like the reason that Kirk Cousins hasn't been playing

859
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 2: in a while. Twenty one and thirty one for one

860
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: to seventy three really didn't do much with this offense,

861
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: But Tua tongue of Ailoah. Though there's four touchdowns over

862
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: two hundred passing yards, how big of a statement game

863
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: was this for Tua?

864
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: It was a big time statement game. They had to

865
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: have a game like this, and it was great for

866
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Tua's confidence. He looked good. It's great for the Miami

867
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: Dolphins confidence going into a short week against another team

868
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: that's struggling in the Baltimore Ravens. He made some passes

869
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: this game that that reminded people, including myself, of how

870
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: great he can be when he has time and he

871
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: trusts his eyes and he and he puts his arm

872
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: into it. Made some tight window throws for touchdowns that

873
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: that you love to see. But Kenny Ken, he sustain it.

874
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: Can he sustained it. He had four touchdowns in his game.

875
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: He was twenty of twenty six for two hundred and

876
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: five yards. Fantastic game. No interceptions. I think he had

877
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: one that got kind of got tipped up, looked like

878
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: it was going to be intercepted, but it wasn't. And

879
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: against a against an Atlanta Falcons team like we just

880
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: talked about, to beat the Buffalo Bills coming off with

881
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: tough loss to the San Francisco forty nine ers, but

882
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: they've been battling. Obviously, they're without Michael Pennix. They're starting

883
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: to quarterback, but again that he doesn't play defense. And

884
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins wore thirty four points. They looked good, and

885
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can keep this going. We'll see

886
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: if this can catapult them back into to feeling better

887
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: and maybe to a few wins in a row. But

888
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens are getting healthier, got some of their

889
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: superstars back, and they're gonna make it tough. All odds

890
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 1: and lines come from our partners at hard Rock Bet.

891
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: We've got Commanders versus Chiefs tomorrow on Monday Night Football.

892
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: What are lines looking like for this one?

893
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: Mitch Well Richard, The Chiefs are favored by a lot.

894
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 2: How about eleven and a half point favorites against the

895
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. And one might think, hey, how the heck

896
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: did they get to eleven and a half points, But

897
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: one might forget that Jade Daniels is not playing this game.

898
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 2: So the Chiefs are going to be taken on. The

899
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: Commanders led by Marcus Mariota. Richard, do you think that

900
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: Thief's covered the eleven and a half points spread.

901
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: Eleven and a half in the National Football League is tough.

902
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: That's that's enormous. That's a huge gap. But if if

903
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: the Commanders are without all their starters again and I

904
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: haven't heard a lot about you know what, what the

905
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: status for Deebo Samuels and Scary Terry and all those

906
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: guys is. But if they're without those guys, then they

907
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs might have a chance to pull that off.

908
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: But if Deebo Samuel's playing, Scary Terry's playing eleven and

909
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: a half slow, Hey, it's looking like the Coats are

910
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: the class of the AFC. Their biggest issue going forward,

911
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be who's gonna be the MVP candidate.

912
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: Is gonna be Indiana Jones or is he gonna be

913
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Both of them had terrific games today and

914
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: they dismantled the Tennessee Titans expected. What wasn't expected was

915
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Coast to be seven and one. Shane Steichen

916
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: is the the runaway favorite for Coach of the Year.

917
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: I know, you know, we want Kyle Shanahan to be

918
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: in it. You know, there's other coaches that could have

919
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: a case, but nobody's case is better than Shane Stikeens

920
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: and what he's done with not only Indiana Jones, but

921
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: then lou Ana Rumo hiring him away from the Cincinnati

922
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: Bengals after they let him go, and what he's zoned

923
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: with his defense, their top five unit in the National

924
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 1: Football League, and it looks like they have no plans

925
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: on stopping. They have some tough games later on this season.

926
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, you can see on the schedule they're gonna

927
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: have to deal with the Seattle Seahawks and the San

928
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers. Those will big games that'll be

929
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: a litmus test, especially late late in the season. But

930
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: right now, I don't see anything stopping them. I mean,

931
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: they have a sustainable way of winning. They run the

932
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: ball really well. Jonathan Taylor had an eighty yard run today,

933
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: and then it just seems like they're keeping everything right

934
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: within Indiana Jones's wheelhouse. And I just won't call him

935
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: anything other than Indiana Jones because it's a different guy

936
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: than he's been in the past. This guy is changing.

937
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: His entire reputation is in his image and the way

938
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: the league should see him, and a lot of it

939
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: has to do with Shane Steichen and their belief in him.

940
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: And obviously he gives some credit to Kevin O'Connell and

941
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: what he was able to do in Minnesota in his

942
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: short stint there. But this team is for real and Mitchell,

943
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know, he said earlier, Hey, you know,

944
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: are the Buffalo the class of the AFC. No, No,

945
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: it's it's the Indianapolis coach and it's far and away

946
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: and they've done nothing but reinforced that belief this week.

947
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: As always, I appreciate you guys joining me. You could

948
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: be anywhere in the world, but you hear me, and

949
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: I sure do appreciate it. Please, please, please, if you

950
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: get a chance, hit that SUP button if you knew

951
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: see you next week.
