Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome inside final Hour tonight to Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: with my bes friend Mike Harmon, live from the Fox

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: Sports Radio studios, where Sam Darnold is doing everything he

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: can to keep the Houston Texans in this game. His

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: fumble in the end zone when you had said a

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: hold on to the football, get sacked for a safety.

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Everything is okay, no, no, no, no, Maybe you want

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: to try to throw the football lefty instead. It's a touchdown.

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: Get them within one score, okay, twenty seven to twelve.

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Things are going well. Ten minutes to go in the

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and Donald throws a pass underthrown for Jackson

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Smith the jigbub It is picked off by the Texans

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: who are fighting against hope to try to get back

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: in this game because the offense tonight for Houston has

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: been terrible. But like we talked about with the Giants

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: and the Broncos yesterday, if you keep giving the team

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: the football back enough, eventually they're gonna find a way

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: to get down the field and score. And that's kind

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: of what the Seahawks have been doing so far tonight.

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen some skirmishes on the sideline. Nico Collins

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 3: is in went to the locker room earlier, so trying

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: to find some other pieces in that passing game. Dalton

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: Schultz your leader. He'll be a popular waiver wire pickup.

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: Seven for eighty. Thus far, running backs have been virtually invisible.

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: Thirteen carries thirty yards between Chubb and Marks.

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: So we'll keep you updated on here again. About seven

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: and a half have to go. It's a two score

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: game for the Texans. Have the football, they are across midfield.

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: CJ.

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: Stroud having an absolutely horrendous game. We'll have more on

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: him as the game unfolds now. Earlier tonight, we watched

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: the Lions absolutely dismantle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twenty four

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: to nine as your final, and the game didn't even

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: seem like it was that close. Jamir Gibbs has the

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: big Superstar night. The guy was well over two hundred

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: yards total offense, eighty yard touchdown run. And I'll tell

45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: you this right away. We talked about this era of

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL where hey, Jonathan Taylor is

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: in his prime and he's back to being the best

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: running back. You know, we've seen Saquon Barkley the year

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: he had last year, but running back is some pretty

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: good hands with the two best young running backs in

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the game, guys who came out in the same draft

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: class probably were taking one to two in your dynasty

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: drafts with with Jamiir Gibbs number two in Bejon Robinson

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: number one. Jamiir Gibbs, he is he Look, he's been

55
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: the most dangerous running back in the NFL for a

56
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: little bit, but honestly, it makes it makes sense. It's

57
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of apropos considering the team he plays for, but

58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: he is the closest thing to Barry Sanders that we've

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL for quite some time. Right, no

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: one's ever going to be the running back Barry Sanders.

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Was that we you make guys missing the backfield accelerate

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: out of tackles, but Jamiir Gibbs is that every time

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: he gets the football, you hold your breath because he

64
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: could take it to the house. There's other guys that

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: have been fast, you get them the football, they can

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: do their thing, but he is an every down type

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: running back, and the only things that that slows him

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: down is when Dan Campbell decides, I really want to

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: just give the ball to Dave Montgomery because I really

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: like him for some reason.

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: But every time he's been pretty good, I mean, you've

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: been You're so dismissive of David Montgomery because Gibbs, but

73
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: he's still a lot better than most of these running

74
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: batches that are number one teams.

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: And if he was on a team, that'd be fun.

76
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: That's fine, But you dismiss him as I that jerk

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: that comes in like he just falls forward, okay, or

78
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: he falls down he can't handle a handoff, like that's okay.

79
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: That's kind of what it looks like when when Gibbs

80
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: comes in, it's wow, this.

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: Is a house.

82
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: He's got a halo, a committee to elect. I mean, well,

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: he's Gibbs is just so incredibly talented and you can

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: see just some of the sly moves he makes. That's

85
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: just one cut in the middle of a run that

86
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: that turns a defender around like Barry Sanders used to

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: do every time he touches the footplets is this swing

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: pass going all the way? Is this is this run

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: around end? He looks like he's got a block. Is

90
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: he getting through that? Because now there's more between the

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: tackle runs for him where he is finding a way

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: to turn a three yard game into a twelve yard

93
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: game like the Jamiir Gibbs is the most dangerous running

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: back in the NFL, and you see him again every

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: play it could be a house play. Again, it's the

96
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: closest thing to Barry Sanders that we've seen, where you

97
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: just is this a play?

98
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: Okay?

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: His his combination of speed and vision, the way he

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: sees the field like he is so incredibly special that

101
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: that it's been a long time so we had a

102
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: guy like this in the NFL, and here we now

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: get it every single week.

104
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: For that.

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 4: Oh, he's fun to watch. Certainly.

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: I started thinking about players of that impact and some

107
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: of it gets shaded a little bit by you know,

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: fantasy stats, and then we start complaining running and receiving

109
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: jail breaks. Certainly we go to Jamal Charles and Priest

110
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: Holmes for what they did in Kansas City for those years.

111
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 3: But Jamiir Gibbs, when you talk about what the balance

112
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: has become in this offensive line for Detroit, a little

113
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 3: bit of a step back, and we watched that throughout

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: the National Football League. Trying to find five guys that

115
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: are A good and B can stay healthy are two

116
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: very huge efforts that every offense and every coordinator and

117
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 3: every GM has to come convear. I mean we watched

118
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: it as things started to coalesce with the charge. Well,

119
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: you lose Slater before the season, you lose alt You

120
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: were down to two ackled number seven with the number

121
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: of guys that were hurt over the course of Joe

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: Thomas was coming out of retirement to play for the Age.

123
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: You know, if they paid him enough. Sure, I'm sure

124
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: how many snaps I got left, I don't know. But

125
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: but watching the Lions and what this offense has become,

126
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: and certainly Gibbs we talked about. You know, you brought

127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: up Jean Robinson. Remember the first year he was in

128
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: a box, right, he was a guy that didn't get

129
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: to work and certainly all Jeer is a guy that

130
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: can get after it, and he'll be on the front

131
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: and center with a date against Miami on this schedule

132
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: that you expect a little bit more of the workload.

133
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean these two are far and away

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: that next class. Meanwhile, Taylor and McCaffrey and those guys

135
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: are holding the round for a little while longer.

136
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, McCaffrey's gonna be thirty, so obviously

137
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's gonna be nearing the end as well.

138
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: Same thing.

139
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Taylor's in the middle to endish of his prime. But

140
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: you talk about these the guys that are you know,

141
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four, and the running back with these

142
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: guys in really good hands man.

143
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: Well, especially if you don't bog him down by saying, hey,

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna run between the tackles, yeah, outside, Yeah, where

145
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: cornerbacks have to make business decisions as opposed to lineman

146
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: falling on you with great repetition.

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: So the other big story of this game, and this

148
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: gets into a bigger conversation, Baker Mayfield tonight was terrible.

149
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: He was This is the worst game I have seen

150
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: him play, maybe since he was with Cleveland. Although, boy,

151
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: there's a couple of stinkers with Carolina. This was he

152
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: played absolutely terrible tonight. Now, the Lions defense deserves so

153
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: much credit, and this is why the rest of the

154
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: NFL should be scared of the Lions. Their defense played

155
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: extremely well. Their defensive backs were able to stay on

156
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: the on the receivers for the most part. And Baker

157
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Mayfield was really bad. They couldn't run the football at all,

158
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: and Mayfield was Mayfield was not only held back by

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: the Lions, but but you know, just for to be

160
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, realistic about this, hey man. Uh, he overthrew

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: guys every single possession. He was overthrowing guys, whether it

162
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: was Johnson or Evans before he had to leave the

163
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: game and now no Mike Evans probably for the rest

164
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: of the season with a broken collar bone. But like Mayfield,

165
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: like he's got guys that are open, Like he missed

166
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Tes Johnson on him on a wide open pass that

167
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: could have made it a one score game in the

168
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: final minutes. He overthrew him by ten yards. Like Baker

169
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Mayfield was terrible tonight. Now, whether this was just I'm

170
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: having a bad game, but you could tell the Lions

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: were in his head because at some point Mayfield, all right,

172
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I have to tap this down a little bit. I

173
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: gotta figure it way out of this. I gotta And

174
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: he's been able to do that, not been able to

175
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: against the Lions. Right, a guy that's pretty much had

176
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: his way the last year plus in the NFL, right,

177
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: last year with with Tampa and now this year so far,

178
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: right playing like an MVP candidate. This is what should

179
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: scare the rest of the NFL and the rest of

180
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: the NFC about the Lions at their defense, which has

181
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: been good, right, hasn't been league leading, but clearly they

182
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: are playing with an edge. Clearly they upgraded last year

183
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: losing Aaron Glenn as their DC. Now we not only

184
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: know Aaron Glenn's a bad head cut, maybe he was

185
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: overrated as a defensive coordinator, because wow, this Lion's defense

186
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: looks like they have a little bit more oomph and

187
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more electricity to them this year. And

188
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: if that's part of their motivation losing losing about their coordinators,

189
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: because clearly that's been something that could work out for them. Right, Hey,

190
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: they lost about their coordinators, but clearly, hey, when they

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: play the Bears, they wanted to really stick it to

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. They ran up the score on the Bears

193
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: and scored fifty the same thing. Hey, yeah, we lost

194
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: Darren Glenn, We're still really bleeping good, right, And if

195
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: that's motivation, that motivation is awesome. But yeah, this is

196
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: why the rest of the league should be scared of

197
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: the Lions because right now, if you said to me,

198
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: who's the best team in the NFC, the Lions are.

199
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Because it's pretty simple. If I said, who's the one

200
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: team in the NFC you don't want to play right now?

201
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 4: Lions?

202
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Right, there's other good teams, right. The Eagles are good,

203
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: maybe they're figuring out, but they have issues. The Rams

204
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: are really good, but they have a couple of injuries.

205
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: Can they we still run the football like they used

206
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: to with Kien Williams.

207
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: Maybe not.

208
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: There's other good teams you don't want to play the

209
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Lions because the offense is the best offense in the NFL.

210
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: They have playmakers everywhere. And oh, by the way, now

211
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: their defense looks like they can shut down one of

212
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: the best offense and one of the best quarterbacks in

213
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the game. That's why I say, who's the best team

214
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: in the NFC? Right now it's the Lions, and that

215
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: defensive effort tonight should be something that scares everybody to be.

216
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you had no branch in the secondary, but

217
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 3: you watch what the defensive line did against a Tampa

218
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: offensive line that you know ranks in the middle. Right,

219
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: they're not great shakes and certainly down a couple receivers,

220
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: But the thing was Mayfield getting rid of the ball

221
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: a beat earlier and not being able to have that timing.

222
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: We talk about Johnson stepping up that throw will live

223
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: and I'm sure Baker Mayfield that's the one he's going

224
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: to see in his head a million times where he

225
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: came across the middle towards the end zone and he

226
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: just flat out and missed him to what could have

227
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: made it a one score game.

228
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: And then we don't know.

229
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: I mean we've seen his heroics all season long that

230
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: maybe that would be the thing to jump started.

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: I really thought for sure, Okay, fourth quarter, we're gonna get.

232
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Baker's gonna lead him down for a touchdown. They're gonna

233
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: get because Jared Goff had they survived a bad game

234
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: from Jared Goff tonight, uh turn the football over a

235
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: couple of times, making some bad decisions. I said, Okay,

236
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna get the ball back and it's gonna win.

237
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Tampa's gonna win this game by two. But it just

238
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: never happened. They had a they what a twenty play

239
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: drive at the end, right. We had Jack Campbell on

240
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: the show, Lions linebacker. After they won, he was like,

241
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: I was so tired, man, nineteen plays twenty plays never

242
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: was and Tampa Bay didn't score. I'm exhausted after that.

243
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: Find that I'm the best of It was great Jack Campbell,

244
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: great talker.

245
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 4: That was fine, fun to hang with him.

246
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean you're talking about just the the drives, right,

247
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: Eleven plays sixty seven yards. Okay, fine, that made it

248
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: a fourteen to nine game. Detroit comes right back down

249
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: and scores five play twenty nine nine fine field goal

250
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: for the Lions makes it twenty four to nine. But

251
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: then you have that eighteen play fifty nine yard drive

252
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: takes up six minutes of the clock and you come

253
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: away with a turnover on downs. Just demoralizing at that point.

254
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: And then they can get the ball, they force a

255
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: punt twenty twenty six seconds to go off the clock. Again,

256
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: five plays thirty three yards but it turned over on down,

257
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: so they had their opportunities to get back in the game.

258
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: But disruptive and Ben don't break and you'll you'll have

259
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: that opportunity. And for the Lions, we know what the

260
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: offense can do on a game to game basis, But

261
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: at the defense, down the guy who's arguably, outside of Hutchinson,

262
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 3: their best player in the back seven because he was

263
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: suspended for the game, you're down him and other guys

264
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: step up to shut down Baker and company. They frustrate

265
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 3: him and look, they need Bucky Irving back. I mean,

266
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: this was the first time it really showed because you

267
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: had no semblance of balance with White in the backfield.

268
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was This was a complete and total dominance.

269
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: And you could tell the Hey, we're gonna make sure

270
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna make Baker and these other receivers try to

271
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: beat us. And what did they see? They took away

272
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: that short game of because what's Baker Mayfield one of

273
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: the best things he does. Hey, when I checked down,

274
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: when I look downfield and I go to my running,

275
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: that's where he's been missing Bucky Irving a lot, because

276
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Irving has always been that outlet for him out of

277
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: the backfield because how many times you've seen it. Hey,

278
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: nothing to it's second and thirteen. Oh, he checks down

279
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: to Bucky Irving who catches the ball five yards downfield.

280
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: Makes guys miss. Now it's third and one. Instead he's

281
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: flinging it downfield over everybody's head and there's no basis.

282
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: That's all stop start the entire game. So yeah, Lions

283
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: had a great game plan. Again again, I think they upgraded.

284
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Losing Aaron Glenn turned out to be a positive for them,

285
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: Gaining Aaron Glen a negative for the Jets.

286
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: So that that's how it goes, sure hand and tackling

287
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: the order of the day. Six four catches for Rashad White,

288
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: he had six receiving yards. Now, I gotta be fair

289
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: to your guy, Aaron Glenn for a moment. Look, it's

290
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: the offense that's been a disaster. Should have won that

291
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: game against Denver and then you lose thirteen to six, Like,

292
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: you give up a total of twenty six points over

293
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: two weeks.

294
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: Those should be two ws.

295
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that becomes a very long lockdown to the

296
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: offensive quarter ago.

297
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: Really really this is what we got. Yeah, but this

298
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: is the offense.

299
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: It's what you signed up for this is when you said,

300
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: let's do this, let's go get this quarterback, Let's go

301
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: set NFL back.

302
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 4: You know sixty years where we had three guys in

303
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: the back. We're going the single wing offense. Let's do it.

304
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: Now, that's not so bad when they lost twenty nine

305
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: to twenty seven to these bucket Now, I'm gonna.

306
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: Have to watch. I know I'm gonna watch after the buy.

307
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch Brady Cook playing quarterback for the Jets

308
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: the last half of the season.

309
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 4: I know it. Though I'd rather we're.

310
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: Getting closer to the fifty quarterbackscause. We're gonna get Andy

311
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,520

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best

354
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Uh. You would think that the Seahawks

355
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: would say, Okay, we understand what we're doing to our

356
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: fans tonight. They just watched the Mariners get knocked out

357
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: of the playoffs three innings away from the World Series.

358
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: You know, let's finish this game against the Texans. But

359
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: instead it's like a I feel like it's like a

360
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: fixed prize fight where hey, we're gonna just we're gonna

361
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: absolutely just hold up the Texans as much as we

362
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: can for the entirety of the game. And that's what's

363
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: going on. We're gonna hold up as much as we

364
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: can for the entirety of the game. Well, we've seen

365
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: some inane plays and decision making from Sam Donald. He's

366
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: got a lot to explain in this one. That touchdown

367
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: to Woody Marx puts the game to the over. That

368
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: forty one looked like you were licking bills at half time. No,

369
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: not so fast.

370
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, it's a twenty seven nineteen game,

371
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: one score, two minute warning. As we've flowed through, we

372
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: talked about Nico Collins leaving this game earlier, Jelen Noel

373
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: and some others stepping up, and somehow here we are.

374
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: We've got a game that Sam Donald needs to make

375
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: a play to keep the dream alive.

376
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: Now, this is something I don't get right now. This

377
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: is again.

378
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: The Texans score to make it a one score game,

379
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: just this side of the two minute warning. Okay, just

380
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: decide to and again a crazy play where CJ. Stroud

381
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: fades back to pass. He's got like ten or twelve

382
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: seconds to throw. They finally run a safety to blitz

383
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: them like it's like you're playing in the street where

384
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, this guy's been running, this play is

385
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: going forever, just go go, go get him, and he

386
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: throws to what he marks, who catches it for a touchdown.

387
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: It's a one score game, and they score the touchdown

388
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: again just on the other side of the two minute

389
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: warning right to make it twenty seven to nineteen. With

390
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: two ZHO four left. You have one time out left

391
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: if you are the Texans. One timeout okay, So you

392
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: have one of two things you can do. You either

393
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: a on sidekick because again you have the two minute

394
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: warning and one time out right, okay, So you on sidekick,

395
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: try to get the ball back because clearly you don't

396
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: have enough time, or you kick off and kick it

397
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: out of bounds, because all you're gonna do is if

398
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: you if you can't kick it through the end zone,

399
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are gonna run the ball out and it's

400
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: gonna tick down to the two minute warning. One of

401
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: those things you have to do. You have to either

402
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: have the on side kick or kick it out of bounds.

403
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: And instead the Texans kicked it deep. The Seahawks caught

404
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone, ran it out, So

405
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: of course we get down to the two minute warning.

406
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: So now there's a buck fifty eight left to go.

407
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: The Texans have one time out left, and some of

408
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: the players on the sideline are just absolutely in disbelief.

409
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: I know who they just cut to you because it was

410
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: really fast, but looked at it. Might have been Woody Marks,

411
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: I can't tell, but looked up at the scoreboard and

412
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: just shook his head like.

413
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: What are you doing? Like really, I mean, you gotta understand.

414
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: To migo, Ryan, you got to understand that one of

415
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: you gotta either on side kick or kick it out

416
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: of bounds, and instead you kick it deep they run

417
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: it back like that. That's one of those things that

418
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: is a head coach like I look at that as

419
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: a fireable offense Like you when when when people who

420
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: are fans or are watching the game from three thousand

421
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: miles away know the right play to make, Like come on, man,

422
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: you gotta know you have a whole host of coaches

423
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: on the sideline.

424
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: Can you get people in the movie.

425
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: You got the guys on the sideline, You got the

426
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 3: players on the sideline, all your other analysts and everybody

427
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 3: else involved in this. You've forced or been gifted with

428
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 3: four turnovers. I'll let you decide, uh where you're atting

429
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: that uh, including the Anderson play where you scored a touchdown.

430
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: You're one score down and you've basically said, yeah, we

431
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: don't want this by making the decision that you did.

432
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean, really, you litle time out called at one

433
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: fifty three. I mean that that's that's that's absolutely unforgivable.

434
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: Bye bye bye bye.

435
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans in the Texas. That's absolutely unforgivable. Then now

436
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna sit here and say, on what are

437
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: you gonna do with get the ball back now? And

438
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have no time. If you get the ball back,

439
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: You're gonna have absolutely no time. What's funny is I

440
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: mean the graphic versus reality. The play clock was running

441
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: before that play was really whistled down.

442
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 4: On that second down play.

443
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean I don't know. I don't

444
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Sometimes I really don't know what

445
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: coaches do when they think, hey, we're gonna do this here,

446
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: like there's nobody at the end. Again, when I open

447
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: up and have my end of the season, ye, my

448
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: management in the final two minutes, I'll have to add

449
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: this about. Wow, you didn't think you need to have

450
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: a new kickoff rule? No, no, you're right, I have

451
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: to add the new kickoff rule always wrinkles that you've

452
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: got to add to the mix.

453
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: I got to add that.

454
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: Let's see, avoids the first tackle. So the ball finally

455
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: ruled down with about a minute two left. So after

456
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 3: the punt, we're talking about fifteen. Now we got a

457
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: flag that comes out that will delay the adjudication of this.

458
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna call a delay of

459
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: game unnecessary roughness waiting on the call, Yeah, you get it. Wow,

460
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: And then you get an unnecessary rough that just puts

461
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: the final nail in the coffin.

462
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean I expect you expect stuff

463
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: like that from the Jets. I mean really, everybody's taking

464
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: the headsets off right now. Yeah, we're done. Now game's over. Yeah,

465
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: so the nile is it moving? But they've basically whistled

466
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: it dead. So now it's the separation. He decides to

467
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: go full on frog splash from behind to get the flag,

468
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: which will effectively end this game.

469
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 4: I really that's I mean, you deserve it. Yeah? Oh no, No,

470
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 4: what happens at the end here, you absolutely do.

471
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: You don't deserve the final eighteen second to throw a

472
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 3: hail Mary and maybe maybe steal a tie out of this. Now,

473
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 3: you don't deserve it with that level of decision making

474
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: from your coaches, and then Settle deciding he's got to

475
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: dive into a play that's been blown dead.

476
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean, really, the number of NFL coaches that have

477
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: no idea how to manage time in the final two

478
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: minutes of a game is mind blowing.

479
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: I mean, this is wild.

480
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: When I have my yearly thing, Okay, NFL coaches come out,

481
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: We do the final two minutes of games. We do

482
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: live reps. There's golf because you know, just like your golf,

483
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: but we do live reps out. I show you just

484
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: exactly how to how to navigate the final two minutes,

485
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: when to call timeouts, when not to call timeouts. Now,

486
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: this new NFL kickoff thing is a new thing. But

487
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: you would have thought, hey, we figured this out. We

488
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: we we figure out what to do here, we know

489
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: how to kick. But no, we watched we watched the

490
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson fail with it early in the season, right,

491
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: we watched Kevin O'Connell come on out come on out,

492
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Come on out. Watch Tamiko Ryans help give the game

493
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: to the to the Seahawks here by by doing I mean, really,

494
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: if if you can't trust your kicker to kick it

495
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: out of the end zone, to kick it far you

496
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: don't want it, doesn't matter, kick it out of bounds,

497
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: find a way.

498
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 4: But that's just we have an on side.

499
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: You have a kick it out of bounds, I don't

500
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: get it in the kicking zone, or you kick it

501
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: through the through the back of the end zone for

502
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 3: the touchback.

503
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 4: That's it. Those are that you have three ways to

504
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 4: do this play and not screw it up. I really

505
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: then you picked option four.

506
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean it's I mean really, this

507
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: is where I say, okay, again, being a head's too

508
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: much for you to be a head coach, right, but.

509
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 4: Tamika rudes, he's been, you know, to forget you for

510
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 4: the most part. How do you not do? I mean,

511
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 4: how do you how do you lose that?

512
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: How do you what's what's the percentage of you sorry

513
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: about that kickoff return?

514
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 4: Is that what they were playing for?

515
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: I gotta think that recovering it onside kicks you gotta

516
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: be at least as.

517
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 4: High if not higher.

518
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: Come on, man, I mean it, I'm Sam Donald, and

519
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: the Seahawks tried to gift you at least an opportunity,

520
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 3: an opportunity, not that you're gonna win it, but an

521
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 3: opportunity to get the ball back with some time on

522
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: the clock to make it a Hail Mary's situation.

523
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: And you didn't even give yourself that. I really, I

524
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: mean I I don't understand. And now the final time

525
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: has ticked off the clock. The Seahawks find a way

526
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: to win this game. Congratulations Seattle. I know you took

527
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,719

Speaker 1: it right.

529
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,920

Speaker 3: that pedalty got called like it couldn't have been two

531
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: seconds that they went to. All right, the canvas on

532
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: the coach, what's he doing, He's taking the headset off

533
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: and exhaling. I don't have to stress that final minute cut.

534
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,360

581
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,119

588
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,119

589

Speaker 5: World Series starts on Fox TV Friday night, with Toronto

590
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: hosting the Dodgers. The reason one more victory for Toronto

591
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 5: ninety four compared to the ninety three wins of the

592
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 5: Dodgers in the regular season they did play each other

593
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: head to head, and the Dodgers were going for a

594
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 5: three game weekend sweep in August and the bullpen blew

595
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 5: the game, giving up two homers in the eighth one

596
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: to Toronto in the ninth. That's the difference between Toronto

597
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: hosting games one and two or having to travel. And

598
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 5: by the way, the word that I see trending on

599
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: Twitter is cheater after George Springer was a hero in

600
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 5: this game. Tonight Across made that happen formerly with the

601
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 5: Houston Astros and in fact was MVP in the World

602
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 5: Series of their team that cheated to the World Series

603
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 5: in twenty seventeen. If you haven't seen the PBS Frontline

604
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: documentary on the whole Astro's cheating scandal, highly recommended. But

605
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 5: in that a Houston Astros fan when he first heard

606
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 5: of the story says, and he's documented it online, you

607
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 5: can still find it. He went through the video of

608
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 5: every Astro's home game that year, documented over eight thousand pitches,

609
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: and he heard the banging to alert the batter of

610
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 5: what's coming on over a thousand of those pitches in

611
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: home games. I've seen the stats, and he noted that

612
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 5: there was a game, for example, a lot of banging

613
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 5: on the trash can to help the hitters. From late

614
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 5: May to late September in twenty seventeen in Houston, late May,

615
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 5: there was a game they played where they banged on

616
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 5: the trash can almost thirty times in one game. Ten

617
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: of those were for George Springer at bats Wow tonight.

618
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: So now because I've gone through it and I heard

619
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 4: it on his home tonight.

620
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: Actually the banging was for fifteen percent of the time

621
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: for George Springer pitches well, he was set to dish.

622
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, Steve, though how much Jason Smith

623
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. We'll

624
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: have our first Big Bowl prediction for the World Series

625
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: coming up in about fifteen minutes. But look, Houston loses

626
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: to Seattle tonight, and you know, again, I don't understand

627
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Amiko Ryans. He needs to apologize to his team and say, listen,

628
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: I screwed up at the end. I didn't give us

629
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: a chance because I didn't kick it out of bounds

630
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: and I and I didn't on sidekick, which is just

631
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: it's unforgivable as a coach to make those mistakes. But

632
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: yet still these are some of the biggest, smartest guys

633
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: in the world, and they don't know how to do

634
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: two minute time management. I don't understand how that's not

635
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: a skill that you can learn as a coach, right,

636
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: learn it, learn it, learn it, know it. What's a

637
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: what's a fast times?

638
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: Learn it? Know it? Love me, love it? Right?

639
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: But uh, the other thing from tonight's game is this

640
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: we watch now the Sea The Titans fall to two

641
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: and six on the seat and two and four in

642
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: the season. And this is a team we thought was

643
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna come out and run away with the AFC. Right,

644
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: easy easy division. The Texans, Sorry, you come in, run,

645
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: run rough, shot over the rest of the AFC. They're

646
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: an easy division. And instead here they are two and four.

647
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: Now they have questions, right, they don't quite have the playmakers.

648
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: Nico Collins got hurt tonight and CJ. Stroud maybe he

649
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: peaked a couple of years ago. But if we talked

650
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: about the Lines as being the best team in the NFC,

651
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: I think people are making the best team in the

652
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: AFC too hard right now because there's so much run

653
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. Yeah, okay, the Chiefs beat the Raiders.

654
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: The Raiders are terrible.

655
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: They quit in the middle of the game.

656
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: They're done right, Yes the Chiefs. Yes, they got Rashid

657
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: Rice back and the chief It's still going to be

658
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: a struggle. Don't make it too tough. The culture the

659
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: best team in the AFC. They should be undefeated. If

660
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: had Ni Mitchell holds onto the football, they probably are.

661
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 4: But this is a team.

662
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Their offense is number one in points, number two in yards.

663
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: They're at the top of everything. I hope you got

664
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: them when I said, hey, they're my dark Corse super

665
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: Bowl team. I said in the Springdaniel Jones is gonna

666
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: win the job. And look at what's and hey, the

667
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: Colts are gonna be really good. I should have bet

668
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: it because it was plus ten thousand when I said that.

669
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: And here's what's going on. Daniel Jones has been exactly

670
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: what this offense needs. There's playmakers, whether Michael Pittman's having

671
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: a big game, whether Josh Downs plays, doesn't play Alec

672
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: Pierce had a big game on Sunday. They came in

673
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: against a really good Charger defense. Jonathan Taylor just rips

674
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: off another big game. This is a really, really good team.

675
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: Their offense is unstoppable, but because it's the Colts, so

676
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: we don't have to. We're halfway through the season. Man,

677
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: they got the best record in the AFC. Everybody else

678
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: is flawed, right, The Bills are flawed. Teams in the

679
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: AFC West, they're flawed. Now, maybe the Chargers get healthy

680
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive line and that becomes different. Maybe the

681
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: Broncos start to make a run because maybe they're starting

682
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: to become a pretty good team. Everybody in the AFC

683
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: North is terrible, right, and clearly the Cults are the

684
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: best team in the AFC South. Yeah, Colts are the

685
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: best team in the AFC right now. They've done everything

686
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: you wanted them to be. But just because it's Daniel Jones,

687
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: Oh I'm not.

688
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 3: Believing in the Colts. No, sorry, Cults are terrific. Yeah,

689
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: take care of business. Obviously. The schedule watching we can do.

690
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: You can only beat who's on it, so it'll be curious.

691
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: The second half is the Chiefs get healthy, and we

692
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: watched that offense really start to come to be together.

693
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: Brishard Smith out of the backfield had five catches. Fantasy Land, Uh,

694
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 3: look for the I Watch Flex podcast and all of that,

695
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: but it's you know, with Rashi rice back comes back

696
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: and it's like he never left. And you look at

697
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: that offense the last couple of weeks, it's clicking. You

698
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: got speed for days. Mahome's playing great football. Perhaps he

699
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: won't have to run as much, which is better for

700
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: his longevity. But with the Colts, I think some of

701
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: it was the pushback on Jones. Some of it's the schedule,

702
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: and you don't have anybody in the receiving cord that

703
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: scares you, so to speak. You mentioned Mitchell, We look

704
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: at Michael Pittman, who's been fantastic in spots. Obviously, you

705
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 3: bring in the rookie tight end who's been fantastic in

706
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: Warren So and Jonathan Taylor. Everybody keeps looking for the cliff.

707
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: Haven't seen it yet. He doesn't need to catch passes

708
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: out of the backfield. Sorry for your fantasy totals. You

709
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: don't get the extra five free points like you do

710
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: with so many other guys. But all of that to

711
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: say for Jones as a runner and as a play caller,

712
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 3: he's a guy that always backed and the division I

713
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: thought would be much more difficult run. I wasn't believing

714
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 3: in the Texans because you're looking at Nico Collins and

715
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 3: a bunch of question marks. I guess Jalen Noel now

716
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: becomes that guy. He and Dalton Schultz should Collins be

717
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: forced to miss time, will keep an eye on his

718
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: status as he left with the apparent concussion.

719
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 4: But for CJ.

720
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: Stroud, that offensive line got worse, right, it was bad

721
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: last year and you lost the only component parts that

722
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: were good. So he's got happy feet and it's unfortunate

723
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 3: because that defense is everything you need and then some

724
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 3: to keep you in and around games. But if the

725
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: offense can't can't do its part, eventually you break. And

726
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 3: that's saw tonight right. They had every opportunity to fight

727
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 3: back in but the offense couldn't give him any semblance

728
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 3: consistency and the run game with Chubb Marx is non existent.

729
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: Exit ab out a Fresco, Exit swollen Dome. Coming up next,

730
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: we have one more big hot take coming off of

731
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football involving the game one congratulations because the

732
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks needed to win for the people of Seattle and

733
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: we got our first big hot take for the World Series.

734
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: Who's going to have a big World Series between the

735
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Blue Jays not one, but I got
