1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast Wishes Every Day was Sunday

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: from the Chris west Link podcast studio. It's Around the NFL.

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Hansas with Heroes, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler the

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: Week six flagship program Boys. Another big day of football

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: in the books and Uh, I'm excited. I'm excited for

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: today's show. It feels good to football. You know what

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: they nailed that, They nailed that and uh, it is

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: a you know, a feeling for New York football fans

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: in particular that something is happening here. Uh, something different

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: for the Jets and Giants, and that's becoming a storyline

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: now in this season. As unbelievable it is the fact

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: that the Giants and Jets are nine and three combined

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: to start the season. We're gonna get to that, but Mark,

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: I think where we have to start? OUI somewhere else

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: at different New York team. Yeah, the only New York

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: only the only team New York state. Hey, there's only

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: one real New York team. That's how people from Western

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: New York. That's who I'm connecting with that comment. The

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: other to play in New Jersey. Hey, hey, over the

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: boat over there, but they don't that's not the accent. No,

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: I lost it right. Let's get back on track to

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City, where the Buffalo Bills look to make a

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: statement against the Juggernauts of the a f C. Revenge

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: Holmes takes as a pocket, gets away to the right

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: a little bit. He fires downfield that he's picked off,

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: picked off of the twenty yard line, intercepted by the Bill,

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: picked up by Karen Johnson. He goes down right there

28
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: and the Bills have the football. They are celebrating. They're

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: running down to the end zone for the celebration. They

30
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: pick off Patrick Mahomes. John Murpy get pumped up w

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: g R with the call. A huge, huge win for

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, who go to Arrowhead, get a late touchdown

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen to Dawson Knox, and then get the

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: big interception there uh to seal a win, getting some revenge.

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Yes for the a f C divisional loss in January.

36
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: As painful as that was, Mark, you had your eyes

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: on this with the first overall pick. Let's talk about it. Well,

38
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: we all did, because this is so far the game

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: of the year. And I look at that last drive

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: and say, this difference between this Buffalo team and the

41
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: one that fell to Kansas City and heartbreaking fashion eleven

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: months ago or a year ago, whenever that was, uh January,

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I understand how months worked. Is October about ten months ago?

44
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Is their defense so well coached and you're gonna you're

45
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna give up plays to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: But along with that stop on the final drive, I

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: go back to how the game started as well, where

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: another major a series of events for Buffalo happened because

49
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: of their defense. It looked like Patrick Mahomes on their

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: opening drive had thrown to the passes of the years

51
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: to Marcus veld Is scantling a touchdown that was taken

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: away by an ineligible man down field. Seconds later, a

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: nearly perfect pass to Travis Kelsey is knocked out of

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: his arms by a Buffalo defender, and then Patrick Mahomes

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: ends the first drive of the game with an interception

56
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: to Kyra Lamb Like this is Buffalo's defense was a

57
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: difference maker in this in every way that they weren't

58
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: last January. Well, just hate to be so basic, but

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: von Miller was the difference. You know, the last three

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: drives of the game were ended by Von Miller. One

61
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: of them was on a pressure to force a field

62
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: goal at a time you know where you're expecting Casey

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: to get seven. Another one was on a sack, and

64
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: then he's the one that flushes Mahomes out on that

65
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: final play. And what was crazy was how many times

66
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes escaped the pass rush today, but how many of

67
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: those times were just three or more often four man pressures.

68
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: They were not having to send extra guys to get

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: free rushers. In one of those rushes where Miller ended

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: the drive was on a three man rush, so they

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: got the drop eight, but Bond one so quickly. He

72
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: was absolutely the difference, and he's getting support from the

73
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: guys around him. And I just couldn't help but think

74
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: everything Mahomes did in this game was hard. Both the

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns were like incredible throws, like there was nothing easy

76
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: for the chief Sis. It doesn't reminds you a little

77
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: bit of how they attacked the Rams in that opener,

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: because there was no It wasn't blitzing in that situation.

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: It was exactly what they were capable of doing in

80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: that game. I mean, it looked like to me, these

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: are very evenly matched teams. But the Bills I think

82
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: are the best team in football. We've seen it again

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: now with this win. And we talked about on Thursday

84
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: show the idea that the Bills, the version of the

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Bills UH that the front office and Sean McDermott cooked

86
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: up together. We hadn't really seen it yet. And then

87
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they get the guys on the

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: field for this huge regular season game and you see

89
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: it on every level, how they have all these playmakers

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: and their discipline and world coached and they make big

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: plays in huge spots like Josh Allen. Again, I don't

92
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: know where well the QB this is what the QBA

93
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: Index exists for at least than our digital sphere um

94
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: where you put him ultimately in the best quarterbacks of

95
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: the league. But like, who do you trust more? Maybe Mahomes,

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: But to make that big drive at the end, to

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: put that pass on the money to Dawson Knox and

98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: then get the defensive stoff, just a total team after

99
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: by the best team in football. I mean, I think

100
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: about the drive where they went Dan. Sometimes it's thinking

101
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: power Ring and Sunday night, you gotta it's I gotta

102
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: assume they're one too, thinking about my project entire Monday.

103
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: It's flip flop between the two. Alan. Okay, now it

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: was Mahomes coming into Homes played so well tonight. It's

105
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: not because it's hard to say that someone's lesser. It's

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: just that I think Alan came in and think about

107
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: the environment here and that one minute thirteen touchdown drive

108
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: where they went nine yards. This was the loudest stadium

109
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: I've heard all year, I think the first half, and

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean that was just so resilient by the Bills.

111
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: And then I think of Josh Allen on a key

112
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: moment leaping over Chief's defender for that major conversion. I mean,

113
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: these are the moments that Josh Allen does things that

114
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: no one else can do. Right. So you you brought

115
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: up that touchdown drive at the end of the first half.

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: They get it with one twenty nine. At that point,

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: the score seven to three Chiefs. There was a lot

118
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: of great defense being played in this game. UH turnovers

119
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: and he goes ninety eight yards as you mentioned in

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: seven plays, leaves only sixteen seconds and the Chiefs somehow

121
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: get a field goal back. Just like UH at the

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: end of the a f C championship or divisional round

123
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: game there, But I thought it was interesting on that

124
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: final drive they get the ball with five thirty one

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: to go, they go on a twelve place, seventy six

126
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: yard touchdown drive to take the lead. They were light

127
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: on his legs, like that's where it's like, Okay, let's

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: stop messing around. Let's have Josh Allen run whenever possible.

129
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: Some called runs, some scrambles and for the most part

130
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: at work because they were struggling in short yard But

131
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: that throw to Knox and the two other touchdown throws before,

132
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: I think shows a difference between Allen now and maybe

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: two years ago. I mean, that was insane ball placement

134
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: to Knox, like there was not really a hole there

135
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: to find and he found it too. Thowson knocks to

136
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: take and having knocks back after he was knocked out

137
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: last year, that's a big that's a big part of

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: this offense having him in there. He's a trusted red

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: zone guy. Gabe Davis continues to kind of be a

140
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: guy that you could trust more and more. He had

141
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: a long touchdown in this game, more than Isaiah McKenzie

142
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: at least, right and then you had Stefon Diggs, who, um,

143
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, he is a number one receiver in every

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: way that you need and he had ten for one

145
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: and a touchdown on thirteen targets. So that's my takeaway

146
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: from this game is it doesn't change how I feel

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: about either team, and like everyone else, it's gonna feel

148
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: like we're cheated if they're not playing again in January.

149
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: But you know how football is, you never know how

150
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: injuries and other things can pop up before before from

151
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: now until then. But it's just fun to be able

152
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: to enjoy these games with Nance and Romo. It was

153
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: just fun. After that, I think it's also it's more

154
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: of a rarity this season because we were talking about

155
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: this in the news from and there's more to get into,

156
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: but like there aren't six or seven teams like this

157
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, dominant teams. There's a Super

158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: in the a f C, and then there's a big

159
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: there's the Eagles, and then there's just a fall off

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: to mediocrity or just teams that are figuring out who

161
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: they are. Although I know, and I know it's early

162
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: to say this, but it might be bigger for the

163
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Bills to get this win because the a f C East,

164
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: and I know we're getting to it looks a little

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: more challenging. You know, if they fell a game back

166
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs where the a f C West, maybe

167
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't look as good as we expected, Like they

168
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 1: might need that cushion. I know last year it didn't

169
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: end up mattering too much. I I don't know that.

170
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the Bills have more answers in the Chiefs.

171
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: I think they're a better team overall. As you said, psychological,

172
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: they ran the ball better today and they have more playmakers,

173
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: and I think psychologically, had the Bills lost, it's it's

174
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: like this is the team we can't get past now.

175
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: It's like you went into Kansas City where it seems

176
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: like they're always having to go, and they took care

177
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: of business, and it's very possible they end up with

178
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: a tide record at the end of the regular season.

179
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: I also think, and I'm sure the Bills would back

180
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: this up if they haven't actually been on the record

181
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: saying it, that they lost that game in January and

182
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: felt like they were the better team, like they should

183
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: have been the team that represented the a f C

184
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, they should have won it. So

185
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: that had to be that had to be an incredible

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: feeling to get this win. And you're right going to January. Now,

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: if they do see each other again, there will be

188
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: no nerves existing in terms of can we get over

189
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the hump? They know it. We're better than these guys.

190
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: We've we showed it in October, will show it again.

191
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: But I can't get our ahead of ourselves. But it's

192
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: been a while since you you could like look at

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: two teams to be like, oh, we'll see we'll see

194
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: them again. It just feels we we will And and

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: quick shout out to a West favorite. Matt Milano has

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: gone from like everyone's underrated linebacker to just maybe the

197
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: best offball linebacker in football. He has been outrageous each

198
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: and every week. And he was part of that last

199
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: play too with Von Miller. There you go, all right,

200
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: So who locked its? Hey? Nick? He did the three

201
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: hour uncut version. But guess what he got a w

202
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully more importantly wins and losses. He got the

203
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: faith of his own brother's back, and the Cincinnati Zoo

204
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: has some peace. I think a peril held the Bills

205
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: today on suns level. All right, speaking of the New

206
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: York teams, let's start with the team that played at

207
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: the Meadowlands today. Jackson in a shotgun shot call signals

208
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: takes the snappers back to flow under pressure pills Giants

209
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: scramble cork that's still lose. That fun recovered on the

210
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: Giants at the twelve yard line table, Tiboda gets his

211
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: cars career sack hit Dick fashion there Bob Crave digger.

212
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: Huh uh oh, not another word. He's taking his knees

213
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: out from under Bob Papa with the call on w

214
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: f A N It is on in New York City

215
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: or East Motherford. Get over it. The Big Blue defense,

216
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: led by four member Ravens coordinator Wink Martindale, forced two

217
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: turnovers by Lamar Jackson late in the fourth quarter, and

218
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: you heard our friend, our Bud Cavon Thibodeau stepping up

219
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: with the strips act to seal it. The Ravens another

220
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: meltdown late and the Giants another victory in which they

221
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: hang around. They enter is an underdog, and then all

222
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's the fourth quarter and a team

223
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: has to make a play. And guess who makes the play.

224
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: The Brian Dable team makes the play. And I said

225
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: it to you, Greggy, it's become an every week thing

226
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: that you look up at the monitors in the newsroom

227
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: after these early window games and there's Brian Dable running

228
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: off the sideline to like greet and celebrate with his

229
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: team and and do the handshake with head coaches, and

230
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: then you see him pumping his fist as he's looking

231
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: to the crowd. Uh, you know, supporters, whether it's family

232
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: or friends or fans or whatever. There is there is

233
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: something cooking here with the Giants. There absolutely is. And

234
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: this was the case where a team and I'll start

235
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: like on the defensive side of the ball here, because

236
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: this is a team we talked about their defense had

237
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: the potential to be one of the worst in the

238
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: league entering the year, but they're so like everything else

239
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: with the Giants, so well coached, and their ability to

240
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: keep Lamar Jackson from beating them with the big play,

241
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: beating him with huge plays with his legs getting no

242
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: big like Devin Duverney bombed down the field, these type

243
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: of plays that have marked the Baltimore offense. They were

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: held in line and then when the game was on

245
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: the line, they made big plays and made Lamar look

246
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: like Clark Kent right that that interception that Lamar Jackson

247
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: through in the fourth quarter. Is is a surprise and

248
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: yet on some level with this Ravens team, I think

249
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: if you're a Ravens fan right now, you almost felt

250
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: it coming because there's a crazy stat out there. They

251
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: were they were thirty one and two in the fourth quarter.

252
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: Since the Lamar era started with a ten point lead

253
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: there two and three this year. Now, at some level,

254
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: it's impressive. They've had a ten point lead in five

255
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: games and they've blown it three times, you know, twice

256
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: seventeen point leads, this time at ten point lead, like

257
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: neither side can you know making a big play. But

258
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised Dhim because they had a running game working today,

259
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Like what what do you think it was? Because you

260
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: look at it's another game where you look at the

261
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Giants box score and the leading receivers Daniel Bellinger with

262
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards and you're like, how is this happening? No,

263
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: you're if you're a Ravens fan. And apologies to you

264
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: guys that are listening to this right now, and I

265
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: respect you for listening to our podcast because this has

266
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: to be super super frustrating team stats here the Ravens

267
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: put up four hundred and six yards. The Giants had

268
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: just two thirty eight. The Ravens held Sae Kwon Barkley

269
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: to under four yards to carry, and he didn't have

270
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: that type of ridiculous big game that has marked many

271
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: of these Giants wins to start the season. Um, they

272
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: did what they wanted on the ground. The average it

273
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: was nine yards per carry on the ground in this game. Um.

274
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: But again, there's just something about this team, and Daniel

275
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: Jones deserves credit as well. He doesn't throw an interception

276
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: in this game. They lose one fumble. It's a Jones fumble,

277
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: which has obviously been a bugaboo for him, but that

278
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: was at the end of the first half, on the

279
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: last play of the half. It didn't mean anything. So

280
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a big difference here too. You have

281
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: the defense has taken three steps up from what we expected.

282
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: You have Daniel Jones playing cleaner football, and then you

283
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: have a much improved offensive line with se Kwon Barkley healthy.

284
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: You add it up and I'm still surprised it's five

285
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: and one. But at a certain point we have to

286
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: be two things. Mark. We need to stop being surprised

287
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: when the Giants win close games because, especially in this

288
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: landscape with so many teams that are so close to

289
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: each other, good coaching and smart football down the stretch matters.

290
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: And Number two like me, I'm gonna take an ail

291
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: on this, and I think about the power rankings, like

292
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: you can't give the Ravens a benefit of the doubt

293
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: anymore because when it happens three times now it's six weeks,

294
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: there's a problem with their ability to close games. Yeah,

295
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: they can't close. And I think the Wink Martindale factor

296
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: mattered here again, like what is football other than self

297
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: scouting and scouting And this is someone that knows Lamar

298
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Jackson better than ever. He didn't know though, that he

299
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: was gonna fumble at the thirteen yard line to get

300
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: the Giants that short field. I mean that the difference

301
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: here to me is is Lamar Jackson mistakes at the end.

302
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: And we've seen this in other games. It's not it

303
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: doesn't characterize his career entirely, but they're just seemed to

304
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: be high profile Lamar Jackson mistakes. Um, it's happened this season.

305
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: It's been the Ravens defensive issues too with some of

306
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: these collapses. But today it's like the Giants in the

307
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: right place at the right time. Brian Dable is not

308
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: just the coach of the year because of what he's

309
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: doing technically, it's like the Giants feeling a completely different

310
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: um core energy source, and they have during our entire

311
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: run of this podcast. And I think that people look

312
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: to the Packers win and said, well, that's a lot.

313
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot to do with green Bay being out

314
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: of sorts. Okay, well they are the sorts. We were

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: looking at green Bay differently, but no one really looked

316
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: at this game. It said the Ravens are gonna stumble

317
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: against the Giants. They've done it. I don't care. Five

318
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: and one, two is five and one? What is? What

319
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: are the any of these teams? I feel like their

320
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: Week one game against the Titans was the biggest, like

321
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Week one game, because just the feeling that they got

322
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: from coming all the way back at the into that

323
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: game and winning it the way that they wanted gave

324
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: them something where the next week, by the way they

325
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: were tied with the Panthers, like late in the fourth quarter,

326
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: they have the feeling then go win that game, and

327
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: then these last two weeks with these comeback there it's

328
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: there's something that that numbers can't measure. And yes, that

329
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: doesn't like carry over from year to year necessarily, but

330
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: I do believe that it can carry over for a year.

331
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: And it's happening for this Giants team. Yeah, and the

332
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Ravens will when they look at the tape and it's

333
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. They'll look at the first half

334
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: when they outgained New York to fifty six to ninety

335
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: but went to the tunnel of ten seven even just

336
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: a Tucker mr The field goal. Uh So, everything seems

337
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: to be breaking New York's way right now, including the

338
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: schedule because next week they go to Jacksonville, and I

339
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: know Jacksonville is not the pushover they once were, but

340
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see the Giants, now with a

341
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: lot of hype, going to play a team where they're

342
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: going to be the favorite on the road. Another test

343
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: for I'm sorry to hear that. Let's it not be

344
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: said that I'm some type of New York homer. I

345
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: was not so much in my mind like that was

346
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: not so much doubting the Giants, it was believing in

347
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens. But I have to recalibrate that Baltimore situation.

348
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: I was surprised because I felt like you've been getting

349
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: on me for being an anti Giants guy, and I was.

350
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: And I also locked up the Giants, I mean other Ravens,

351
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: and then jumped out of it smart. We'll see if

352
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: I end up being right. That's a teaser for your

353
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night football recap script. Just discover what happens on

354
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: that front. All right, Well, there's one team from New York,

355
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: those little town Blues. They are melting away. Let's make

356
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: a brand new start of it. Let's head to Lambeau.

357
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson takes the snap counter hand off up the

358
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: middle thirty right side, fifteen touchs down a little counter

359
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: inside hand off to brace Hall. We'll find some Jet

360
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: fans in the crowd, and does a Jets ambo leap.

361
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Bongos are back. I think the Jets

362
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: are gonna own the bongo operations. The Jets doing a

363
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: Lambeau leap into a group of Jets fans in that

364
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: end zone, unbelievable. The Jets are good, maybe, I think so.

365
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: Rookie of her candidate, Briest Hall ran for a hundred

366
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: sixteen yards, including that thirty four yard touchdown, while Quentin

367
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Williams and a relentless pass rush sacked Aaron Rodgers four times.

368
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: It really gave him a beating. In the end, it

369
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: was a ten victory over the Packers. Yes, at Lambeau

370
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: feel the Jets have won three straight. They're three and

371
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: oh on the road. You know, had Buffalo loss today,

372
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: they would have been tied for first, and they have

373
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: but they're right behind the Bills. And this had to

374
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: be a great feeling boys for um. Mike Laflour, the

375
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: brother of Matt Lafleur, green Bay Packers coach. The Jets

376
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, really had his way Um with the the

377
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: green Bay defense as this game really started to take

378
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: on form in the second half. Uh they out rushed

379
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: green Bay. The Jets did one seventy nine to sixty

380
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: on a day that Zack Wilson through for just a

381
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards. So here are the Jets. They

382
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: break a three all tie with two touchdowns in the

383
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: spin of less than two and a half minutes in

384
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and they have this, they have this

385
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: juice to them. This Jets offense has juice. But I

386
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: think the story of this game boys. To me was

387
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: the defense, Uh, the Jets defense with that prep pass

388
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: rush and quinnin Williams, like I said, he has superstar

389
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: type potential now that he's starting to act on with

390
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: that secondary. With Sauce Gardner leading that end of things,

391
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: they were swarming a Green Bay attack that just didn't

392
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: look alive. Again, I I totally enjoyed watching this next

393
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: to you, um it's I you have never really heard

394
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: you um as spirit about the Jets, not just like

395
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: trying to salvage a mediocre Jets team into something they're not,

396
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: but like, there's actually a core of wonderful young players

397
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: on this team and someone like Quinn and Williams, who

398
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: you know up and down starting to be unlocked by

399
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Robert Salo the same way that he did with Niners

400
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: players up and down the roster in San Francisco. And

401
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: every time I looked up, the Jets were essentially taking

402
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: the spirit out of the Packers and just shutting them down.

403
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: And you know, I have never seen a Jet performance

404
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: like that on that front. I mean, the Packers have

405
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: a ton of issues, but they right away I mean

406
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: three straight punts of missfield goal, another punt, a fumble,

407
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: and downs for Green Bay. Their defense is a difference

408
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: making defense right now. He was sacked four times and

409
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: and hit nine times, and those just aren't numbers you're

410
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: used to scene out of a Packers team number one,

411
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: their offensive line is usually just better. And Elton Jenkins,

412
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: who has had a great career so far, he's a

413
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: young player, came off toward E. C. L. It hasn't

414
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: been the same this year. But also Rodgers is so

415
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: good getting rid of the ball, you know, and not

416
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: taking those hits, even if he holds it longer than

417
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: you know, some purist wanted. He always avoids getting hit

418
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: and he just doesn't seem like he can avoid it

419
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: these days. And that's happening a lot of times when

420
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: you play this Jets defense. Yeah, And and from the

421
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: very start of this game, he you could see him

422
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: holding his thumb shaking his hand, and that is something

423
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: to keep an eye because there were some throws in

424
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: this game, whereas vintage Rogers and it's like, oh, there's

425
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: only a handful of guys that can make that throw.

426
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: But there was one. There was a deep cross at

427
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: one point Romeo Dobbs that was under thrown. He kind

428
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: of dirted the throw and again, like every whenever he's idol,

429
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: he had his hand in the handwarmer shaking it out.

430
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: And you're just wondering, you know how that's feeling right now?

431
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: And speaking of Aaron Rodgers, you know it's become it's

432
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: new on our radar here um as a trope alert

433
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: um when a team, whether it's offensively or defensively, feels

434
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: like they need to make a change mid stream to

435
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: not be so you know dense. Uh listening to Aaron Rodgers, Yeah, uh,

436
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too specific, um, And I'm

437
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: not not attacking anything. I just think that based on

438
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: how we've played last two weeks, I think it's going

439
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: to be in our best interest to simplify things for everybody,

440
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 1: for the Lion, for the backs, for the receivers, especially

441
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: with cobbies injury. UM, just simplify some things and and

442
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: maybe that help us get back on track. The only

443
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: other person saying this right now is his former offensive

444
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: coordinator Nate Hackett out in Denver. So we've got problems.

445
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, when's the last time or how often is

446
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: it happening that you look at a Packers team that

447
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: went four of sixteen on third down, Um, it looks

448
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: like it and in one of four one of four

449
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: times on fourth down, I mean there's shutdown or a

450
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: team led by uh, you know, the reigning two time

451
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: m v P with in an offense he's been in

452
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: for four years, saying we need to simplify right stars

453
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: per play and Cobb that he mentioned. By the way,

454
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb looks like he has a high ankle sprain

455
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: and will miss sometime. Yeah, Green Bay does not look

456
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: right on offense. The defense we've been talking about all season. Uh,

457
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: they got to score the Rogers touchdown pass to Lazard

458
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: that cut cuts into sevent in the second half, and

459
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, look out as a Jets fan, and

460
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: what do they do? The Jets march right down the

461
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: field and they get that touchdown to go. They never

462
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: then get a stop on on fourth down in the

463
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: next ensuing green Baby possession, and it was over. It

464
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: was almost like as the game was winding down, it

465
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: was I think every Jets fan and I talked about

466
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday show, you know, this game could go one

467
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: of two ways. Green Bay can get right and blow

468
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: you out, or you can find yourself in a close game.

469
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: I did not imagine the Jets were gonna blow out

470
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: the Packers. And but that's kind of what happened. And

471
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: you talked about the Lambeau leap with the Jet leap.

472
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: There after the game, you have Sauce Gardner walking around

473
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: the stadium wearing the cheesehead. Lazard reportedly knocked it off

474
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: his head in frustration. Uh. And this is just like

475
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: all Jets have some swag and think it was Robert

476
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Saw that's calling them the baby Jets, which is something

477
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna start hearing because this is a young,

478
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: talented roster. Still don't trust the quarterback, but there's a

479
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: lot to like, especially and a very wide open a

480
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: f C. Why not the Jets. It's crazy that Zach

481
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 1: Welson having add ten yards is yeah, barely makes a blip.

482
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: Breece Hall like his scrimmage yards through through this time.

483
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: This baby Jets thing I think is gonna catch on.

484
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: And Sauce like, I just love the feeling he has

485
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: given that defense. He seems like a leader right off,

486
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: right from the jump. He's a dude. And Mark you

487
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: were a dude because you you were the only Jet

488
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: uh supporter in terms of the picks from the NFL

489
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: media gang and after the game, the Jets and their

490
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: social team. Right, we're only rocking with Mark Sessler and

491
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: a nice little call back to the best part of

492
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: what is the chapelle half baked, half baked, You're cool,

493
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: You're cool, Thank you, You're cool. I'm out. Uh, you're

494
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: the you're cool, old guy with your thumb up. That's great.

495
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: I might have been half baked when I made that pick,

496
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: but it certainly came out looking quite good. On the

497
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: other side, before we get inside, that's where we get

498
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: too many annoying tweets. It's like f hm, f him,

499
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: f M, you're cool. I had it reversed, thank you,

500
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: thank you for that, and that is that's the move.

501
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: By the way, And I know we talked about this.

502
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: You always be the one person picking against it, because

503
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: now these social teams are gonna highlight that no one

504
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: cares if you pick with everyone else. No, do we

505
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: have a friend in the Jets social department because you

506
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: did that with the Giants too. You probably was the

507
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: only person to pick the Giants. I don't know, gantee,

508
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know I was the only plans. It's

509
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: it's just like the Giants, like, oh, we're above such thing.

510
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: We won't point out to that individual about that guy,

511
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: who is that guy? Who is that guy with a giant?

512
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Now it makes sense because Mark Tiffany franch we would

513
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: never highlight not that, or maybe they saw the Jets

514
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: to it thought they just we just got beat to

515
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: the punch there there, there seems to be I don't

516
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: know how much Dan is truly enjoying the g men.

517
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's sharing this the New York Shine here.

518
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: It's it's something you keep missing on It's fine. I

519
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care. I've been waiting for so

520
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: long for the Jets to be a fun team to

521
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: watch and to follow on this podcast, and they're real

522
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see what happens next. I

523
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: was wondering why Mark was enjoying this game more than

524
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: like any game all season, and now it makes sense.

525
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: He knew like that pop was coming. I mean when

526
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: I picked the game, I knew what was going to happen,

527
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: so I was just sort of like watching it happen

528
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: as I prophesied, I feel power. Yeah, yeah, I like you,

529
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: like anyone else on the show. I like to help

530
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: my little spotlight, Greg and I a lot of grief

531
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: for like seeking the spotlight. Now, don't you're not much different, Mark,

532
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: You're just like us. I probably have. Let's move on,

533
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: check in with another frisky team that might be making

534
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: a turn onto spicy lane. Bird comes from the orbit

535
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: trop left to right, Mariota looks now gonna loop and

536
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: Kyle pets taught Touchdo's that on us soil? That's a touchdown? Glad,

537
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: that's over westerm w z g C. We were there,

538
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: uh on foreign soil when Kyle Pitts had his first

539
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: career touchdown last year against the Jets in fact, but

540
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: there haven't been any touchdowns since for the tight end,

541
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: who once again didn't have a big game. But guess what,

542
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: None of the receivers in on Atlanta are gonna have

543
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: big games because they don't pass the ball a lot.

544
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean they can't win, as we saw

545
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: again today because Marks Mariota through fourteen touched fourteen passes,

546
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: but two touchdown passes and a win over the Niners

547
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Greggy, these dirty birds, they're interesting. I mean

548
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: they are dirty. That's what Kyle Pitts was doing after

549
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: that touchdown the dirty Bird, and it reminds me, maybe

550
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: not even of late nineties football, more like nineteen eighties football.

551
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: They out for the Niners, I mean to run it

552
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: like that, and the defense that the forty Niners UH

553
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: is known for ultimately wasn't there. Like they were missing

554
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: their starting defensive line. They had some other players go

555
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: in and out during the game, and I don't think

556
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: the Falcons were afraid. And when this game was taken

557
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: was really uh in the late second quarter when they

558
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: just kept handing the ball UH to Caleb Huntley and

559
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: he just kept running through them. Mariota was only six

560
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: for fifty on the ground with a rushing touchdown, but

561
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: it felt like each one of those six rushes were

562
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: design runs and they were all killer. Tyler Algier gets

563
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: fifty one yards too, and they just kind of did

564
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: the forty Niners style of play and they did it better.

565
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: And they forced three turnovers two on defense that that

566
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: helped them out. But I was just like impressed, And

567
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: I think they're blowing past Spicy. I don't care. If

568
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't care Chickle's Sunday's give them some Spicy said

569
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: they are they the best team in the League. Where

570
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: were they're going past spicy to frisky? I mean their

571
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: past freight frisky either to spicy, I don't know what

572
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean. You made a great point because I thought

573
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: they did this two weeks ago, and they nearly beat

574
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks a week ago, they nearly beat the Saints

575
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: in Week one. A lot of things to go like this.

576
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: This game was absent of the Marcus Mariotta killer turnover,

577
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: which has pock marks some of their losses. But in

578
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: this one, it reminds me of what they did against

579
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland two weeks ago when they said we're gonna you

580
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: think you're gonna beat us with the run, We're just

581
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna go do it right to you. And they were

582
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: the dominant, more physical team in this and they showed

583
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: no fear. And I think if we talk about the

584
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: chant run to that's a good point, right. I looked

585
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: at one point in the in the Niners had like

586
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: thirty yards rushing in the first top. They're taken out

587
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: of their system, they're missing half their defense. So I

588
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: think when these guys have a rematch, it's gonna look different.

589
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: But the Falcons, to me, if we talk about Brian

590
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: day Ball being a good coach the rematch, you're predicting

591
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 1: a playoff rematch, like no, not like probably not a

592
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: rematch that you're right down the road if they ever.

593
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: But I think Arthur Smith is like been overlooked as

594
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: a very good head coach who has had a lot

595
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: of injuries, got a weird rosters. Absolutely, if there were

596
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: little elements of it last year, there's been a lot

597
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: of elements this year and today was sort of like

598
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: the breakout game. Um. I think it's similar to what's

599
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: going on in the a f C with the team

600
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: like the Jets, Like you mentioned that they nearly beat

601
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: the Bucks, they nearly beat the Saints, but it's like

602
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: who are the Bucks? Who are the Saints? Like who

603
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: are these teams that we to be big time teams?

604
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: So if there's these teams that were at the bottom

605
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: of uh the standings, or teams that were seen as

606
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: afterthoughts entering the year, like the Jets, like the Falcons, man,

607
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: if they start gaining some confidence and they're a young

608
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: team with some players and a quarterback of Marcus Mariotta

609
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: who's seen a lot, who's been through a lot and

610
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: now has better perspective. I remember Steve Wise who you

611
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: know covers the falcons for the team. Um talking in

612
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: before the season and he was like, Yeah, there's a

613
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: lot of good vibes around Mariota because he in this

614
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: opportunity as a starter. It's so different than when he

615
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: was in Tennessee and everything was given to him. Uh,

616
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: he's appreciating more and he's ready to be that guy. Yeah.

617
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: He also, as I think, come close at times to

618
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: testing the concept of putting Desmond Ritter in there, because

619
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: there have been moments quarters in a row where he's

620
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: been in this really and consists of the perfect Mariota

621
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: game because he only threw the ball fourteen times. He

622
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't have an in completion until ten minutes left in

623
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: the game. He finished his thirteen fourteen. There were a

624
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: couple of good throws in there, but for the most

625
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: part they were open receivers and short throws. And uh,

626
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: that's that's perfect for him on the forty niner side. Wait,

627
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: one more thing, though, Like what they want to do

628
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: is run the ball. They want their quarterback to be

629
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: mobile and make plays. Well, he's never gonna be the

630
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: superstar that Titans perceived him to be ten years ago,

631
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be imperfect, but I think

632
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: he's a good fit for what Smith wants to do.

633
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if they turned down. I don't think

634
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: they will for a long time. And Nick Wesley, you know,

635
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: said he wishes Chris was here, and he knows Chris

636
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: is watching and watching his guy Mariota, saying I told

637
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: you so, like on a day where Jamis Winston was benched,

638
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: Chris would be sitting here in this never ending Mariota

639
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: Winston thing that has no purpose to it, and would

640
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: be would be back on his side. The forty Niners

641
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: uh quickly lost Mooney Ward chart various Ward in this game.

642
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: He wants to be called Mooney by the way. I

643
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: think he's playing like an all pro, So we gotta

644
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: listen to him. Um, I think we should listen to

645
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: him even if he was a bad player. That's that's

646
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: a good point. Mooney Award and Mike McGlinchey. So there's

647
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: are two more they're starting, right, two more injuries. I

648
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: read an article, uh after the game from a forty

649
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: Niners source, and they went through all the injuries. There's

650
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: I counted eleven starters. I mean, that's that's a lot

651
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: eleven starters is is getting to a totally preposterous scenario. Now,

652
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: most of them will be back this year, almost all

653
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: of them, but eleven starters out right now. There was

654
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: a drive in this game quickly that UH pointed out,

655
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: how Mike Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo really Shanahan this is

656
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: his stat are and twenty six when trailing by four

657
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: points after three quarters in the Shanahan era, they don't

658
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: have a single comeback trading by four. Not Mike, because

659
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean there's careers didn't totally cross Kyle Shannan. There

660
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: was a sixteen play, eight minute forty Niners drive and

661
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: the score was fourteen in the four or in the

662
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, eight minutes, sixteen plays, they only reached the

663
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: nineteen yard line and they turned it over on down.

664
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: So that's sort of like a proof of the cliche

665
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: like they're not built to play from behind. I think

666
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are kind of the ultimate not built

667
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: to play from behind team. That seems like a problem

668
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: as it was today. All Right, let's take a break

669
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. Let us move al to Miami, Miami,

670
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins, UH look to avoid a three game

671
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: losing streak after a three game winning streak to start

672
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: their season. But there were the Vikings Miami Miami game.

673
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: Miami Native Mr Miami to the right, he gets to

674
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: the thirty GA welcome home. Dalvin Cook pea just ran

675
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: into the end zone and ran the Minnesota Vikings to

676
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: a twenty two ten void. Paul Allen caf a n

677
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: He's an All star that Paul Allen as is Dalvin Cook.

678
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: His fifty three yard touchdown rush um salvage what was

679
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: other an otherwise pedestrian day for the star running back,

680
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: and it also iced win for the Vike Things, who

681
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: improved to five and one. And yes, the Dolphins, after

682
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: a three game winning street starting three and oh have

683
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: now gone oh and three, so they fall. The Dolphins

684
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: have their issues at quarterback, but the Vikings are finding

685
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: ways to win and really not lose, which happens too

686
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: often with this franchise. I mean, they really tested the

687
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: limits of um almost losing today. I mean we talked

688
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: about the Vikings as a streaky offense and I cannot

689
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: find a game where that was more true. Like Kirk

690
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: Cousins um on their two touchdown drives before that Dalvin

691
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Cook uh March, which came off a critically um terrible

692
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: jail and Wattle fumble for the Dolphins. There were a

693
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes on the Dolphins offense today, but the

694
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: vikings before that the first two touch on on his

695
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: cousins was eleven for eleven. On every other drive they

696
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: went three and out essentially. I mean they had like

697
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: there are I'm trying to count up how many drives

698
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: were between these two teams, um about a billion and

699
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: six and there were they I just counted in one

700
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: game and it was awful. It looked that way. They

701
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: just could not you know, you know anything that Miami

702
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: does have, like you're not a lot of weather advantages,

703
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: but we've seen this over and over. The heat down there.

704
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: It was like they literally completely completely I think changed

705
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings out of the gate. Um. It was Dolphins

706
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: issues and mistakes though that I think really cost Miami

707
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be so frustrated looking back on this

708
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: because early on Jayal and Waddle essentially had a bobbled

709
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: pass from Skyler Thompson ended up in a Harrison Smith touchdown,

710
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: which um killed a good, potentially good drive. Uh Teddy

711
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: Bridgewater came in for Thompson who had hurt his thumb,

712
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: and Teddy looked like he was simply unprepared to be

713
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: in there for a big chunk of this until they

714
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: got a little unhinged. He had a terrible interception. Uh,

715
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: he was lucky he wasn't picked pick six by Patrick

716
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: Peterson on what would have been his second interception. They

717
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: just had a lot of terrible like offensive line penalties.

718
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: There was a bad intentional grounding the end of the drive.

719
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Teddy to me until the end was just

720
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: a very discombobulated individual in this game. And it's too

721
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: many quarterback changes. It's just too much going on. It's

722
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: been the fourth game in a row where they've had

723
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback also doubled them almost in yardage though the Dolphins,

724
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: what what a bizarre But that's because the Vikings are

725
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: going three and out literally the interior game. Until to

726
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: put that in perspective that the Vikings had as many

727
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: three and outs in this game as about half the

728
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: league had drives in their respective games today, Like that

729
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: could be an entire game having ten three and out.

730
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: So they kept getting the ball back and eventually they

731
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: hit but it's kind of a perfect Vikings win, a

732
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: one score game ultimately the fourth straight one score win,

733
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: and just like a game that you're like, huh, like,

734
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: I know you said that there aren't great teams, Dan,

735
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: they feel like such a strange vive and one. They

736
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: feel like one of those teams in the middle. But

737
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: they're five and one. Yeah, they're They're an example of

738
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: a team that has talent and has playmakers and you know,

739
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: they're reinvigorated with a new coach and they're taking care

740
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: of business. Because there's a lot of teams that aren't

741
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: figuring things out. It's interesting to me on the Miami

742
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: side obviously that yes, the quarterback carousel is is a

743
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: tough situation, but they're still getting production. Last week against

744
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: the Jets, they got a hundred yards and pass interference calls.

745
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: This year, the the production was back for Hill and Waddle,

746
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: like nearly three hundred yards or over three hundred yards

747
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: between them, but the points just aren't there. Um just

748
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: tough situation for there was down there starting tackles to

749
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: matter a lot because there was an opening drive where

750
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: they kept moving the ball. It was a forty seven

751
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,479
Speaker 1: yard drive that ended up with nothing, but like there's

752
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: forty yards of penalties, four killer penalties on offensive linemen

753
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: who are replacing starting lineman. So I think, just like

754
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: from the Mike McDaniel front, he learned over the last

755
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: three or four weeks, Like, you know, it's nice that

756
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: six touchdown performance against the Ravens, but suddenly you get injuries,

757
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: quarterback problems and feels like seven years the NFL season

758
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: is so long that they were three and oh and

759
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: it just feels so different and and it's so long,

760
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: so I know I shouldn't put too much into that.

761
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: But the Vikings are two games up and have the

762
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: tie break with a win over the Packers. That's it's

763
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: not insignificant. It's something. It's like, do you want to

764
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: trust the Viking? No? I don't, but I mean that's something.

765
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: But is messy is the Packers have been oh we

766
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: have a lock. Someone did trust them. It wasn't exactly

767
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: how I envisioned it, especially when I saw Teddy Bridgewater

768
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: coming into the game. But Vikings get the job done.

769
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: You can trust them. I think, all right, we'll see

770
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: many of the up and see how much you can

771
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: trust the Vikings. Like I just want to let you

772
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: know it's not just kind of all right, let's get

773
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: into another thriller down at the Superdome, burrowing the gun

774
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: mix him to his leap. Joe drops back to throw

775
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: his pass, caught by Chase at the fifty, runs through

776
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: an arm tag. There he is. He's gonna take it

777
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: to the halls, Chase down the Bengals happy lead with

778
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: one seven to go. Unbelievable. That is what has been

779
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: missing for Cincinnati, Dan Hord and Dave Lapham the call

780
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: w c k Y. Joe Burrow passed for three touchdowns,

781
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: ran for another, and yes, had that big hook up

782
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: the second of the game with Jamar Chase uh to

783
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: secure thirty to win over the Saints and nice come back.

784
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: Now we welcome in the Pipe. Nick shook Onda on

785
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: Thursday Show Pipe talked about like it's kind of on

786
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: the head coach and and the brain trust there to

787
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: pop the hood on this offense and find a way

788
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: to get the big play element of Jamaar Chase back. Well,

789
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: they found a way and it won them a game. Yeah,

790
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe they just needed a trip to New Orleans, you

791
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: know where Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase used to throw

792
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: it all over the yard and the National Championship game

793
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: for the l s U type and certainly showed up

794
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: in the jersey. The LSU jersey of Jamar Chase then

795
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: had a huge game. Maybe you should keep doing that. Yeah,

796
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: exactly seven catches for one thirty two for Jamaar Chase,

797
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: including that sixty yard touchdown. You know, more than anything,

798
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't even so much the big play for this offense.

799
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: It was the fact that they were able to continuously convert,

800
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: especially in the second half. They had four possessions, three

801
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: of them ended up in points field field goal, touchdown,

802
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: and it was the drive were the touchdown that really

803
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: mattered the most, because again it was third and six,

804
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: third and seven where Burro would be under pressure and

805
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: dump it off and just get enough past the stix.

806
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: Te Higgins made a nice catch, got him in field

807
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: goal range, whether two sacks still was able to stay

808
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: within Evan mc pherson's range. He hits that field goal,

809
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: and then the biggest turning point the entire day. And

810
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: really I think the story of this game, beyond the

811
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: Bengals being able to produce that big play, is the Saints,

812
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: who hadn't had three and ounce since their opening drive,

813
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: which they got back because Trent Taylor fubbled the punt.

814
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: They go three and out in the worst possible situation,

815
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: they get two yards or two runs for three yards

816
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: each incomplete passed, you gotta punt it away. A team

817
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: that had dominated time and possession to that point. They

818
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: only ended up with like a five minute advantage. But

819
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: they you know, they were keeping on the ground all

820
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: day and really controlling the game. They couldn't do it

821
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: in the biggest moment. Gave Joe Burrow that opening. If

822
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: we know anything about Joe Burrow through the short time

823
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: he's been in the NFL, he's gonna take advantage and

824
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jim mar Chase and makes the play.

825
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: So it was a perfect little capital what they've you know,

826
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: their history in Louisiana with with l s U and

827
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: everything else. I'm looking forward to watching. This game is

828
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: such a strange one. I mean that the Saints have

829
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: to be killing themselves that they rushed for on the

830
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: ground and it's not one of those like fifty two twenty.

831
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: It's like only thirty four carries. Everyone who ran the

832
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: ball ran well for them. They were down their top

833
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: four wide receivers in this game. Uh, the Saints that

834
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: we should be pointed out. Jamis Winston was essentially benched

835
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: for this game. He was active, but he didn't start.

836
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: It was Andy Dalton, which to me is like a

837
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: soft benching. Let's see what happens. Uh. And Marshawn Latimore,

838
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: the top cornerback, is out for this game, and yet

839
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: they still were were in position to win. Like, what

840
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: what is happening with his defense? Shook? And like how

841
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: much was Honey Badger in the safety position a problem?

842
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: Because I follow a lot of Saints Twitter. They are

843
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: not happy with what's happening with Honey Badger this season.

844
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: And he made a bad angle on that Chase touchdown.

845
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: And Marcus May has been up and down and that

846
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: was kind of the identity to their team a year ago.

847
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: They let Marcus Williams walk and people are missing that

848
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: safety duo who's now given up a lot of big

849
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: plays in New Orleans. I think it's kind of a

850
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: bad fit. I mean, not not the worst fit, but

851
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: not a fit like it was in Kansas City for him.

852
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily uh condemnation where you know,

853
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: Matthew is as a player. I just think that the

854
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: fit in their scheme is not quite as good. I mean,

855
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: they still were pretty effective in the first half. You know,

856
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: they built themselves a bit of an advantage. It was,

857
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, twenty four teen going into halftime, and it

858
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: felt like the Bengals it just weren't quite getting on track. Yeah,

859
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: they had two touchdowns on the board, but it wasn't

860
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: just there. And we kind of seen that from the

861
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: Bengals throughout this season. So it was like, Okay, this

862
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: is the Saints defense that should be able to stand up.

863
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: And then the fact that their offense fails to put

864
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: more than six points on the board in the second

865
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: half and then they crumble. You know, it's not like

866
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: they were on the field for a ton of time

867
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: in the second half, but these were all long possessions

868
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: by each team. I think the Bengals in the second

869
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: half had a drive of third team plays and the

870
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: drive of seven places and knew that one for sixty.

871
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: That was three of their four second half possessions. So

872
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: they were out there and tasked with keeping this offense

873
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: bottled up while their offense wasn't necessarily continuing to do

874
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: what they needed to do. And then it ended up

875
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: hurting them. And we mentioned Winston. He hasn't played for

876
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: three games now with the backend ankle injuries. He was

877
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: in uniform in this game. Here's what Dennis Allen had

878
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: to say, the Saints coach after the game. Uh, he's

879
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: not healthy. Look, we got a Thursday night game. Let's

880
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: let's let's let's get into the study on that and

881
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see where he's at, um and then

882
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. Uh. Andy Dalton also said, Mark,

883
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let d a Dennis Allen handled that whole situation. Uh,

884
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: so we'll see how I mean, it could be talking

885
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: about the District Attorney's office, but I'm assuming it's the

886
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: coach shook the question for you because we just talked

887
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: about Baltimore melting down today. Uh, that's been their characteristic

888
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: with these big leads, Pittsburgh's Picksburgh, Cleveland's Cleveland. Do you

889
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: trust the Bengals as the best team in this division

890
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: going forward? I mean, that's gonna be tough when you

891
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that the Ravens. Ravens just beat

892
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals last week, but it was a close one.

893
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: I think long term. Yes, I'm not confident in anybody

894
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: in this division. I'm still most confident in the Bengals

895
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: in the Ravens. But the Ravens that's become their ms

896
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: to blow those leads. Two divisions, by the way, you know,

897
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: including the Saints NFC South. They're kind of typical of

898
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. There's no winning record in either division.

899
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: So on one hand, like two and four fields dark

900
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: for the Saints. On the other, they're only one out

901
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: of first and like the Bengals are tied for first

902
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: at three and good job, NFL, that's what you want.

903
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: Good job our league all right now? Are Browns beat reporter.

904
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: It's not the most glamorous job, but that's what Shook

905
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: is and he's gonna be a pro once again. I

906
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: could feel it to Cleveland up side end Henry now

907
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: in motion, left zappy with a playfake and a deep drop,

908
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: throws it nearside wide open, tent rays the fifteen to

909
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: the ten to the five, waltching into the end zone, touchdown, Patriots.

910
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: I need four out, Bill because I'm starting to get

911
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: the fever again. He always delivered. He's not a gatorade bottle.

912
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: Make him pepsi or he wishes he was a Gatorade bottle.

913
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: He's a powerade bottle. Bomb Sochi and Scott Zolak what

914
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: they called w Baz Bailey's Appy have a day, kid.

915
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: The rookie through for three nine yards and two touchdowns,

916
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick gets his three, tying George Hollis for

917
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: second on the NFL's career list. Watch out Don Shula.

918
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: Uh final score, Yes, thirty eight fifteen pats over Brown's shook.

919
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: This one seemed pretty ugly on the Cleveland side. But

920
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: let's start with the Patriots, who, uh, week by week

921
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: are figuring it out, look like a team that is

922
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna make noise in the a f C. You know,

923
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: last week the Patriots gonna shout out win and there

924
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: was Zappie fever and everything. But I felt like that

925
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: defense did as much to win that game than than Zappy,

926
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, just as much as Zappy did this week, Bailey.

927
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: Zappy won this game for that. Now. Did the Brown's

928
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: defense have some breakdowns, Yeah, but he found guys consistently

929
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: at a variety of levels in the field in different situations,

930
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: completing key third downs. The only one third down conversion

931
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: from the Patriots that really like jumped out to me

932
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: is almost being insulting to the Browns. Was Romandre Stevenson's

933
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: touchdown on third and ten, because it's like, well they're

934
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: running on third and ten that that takes some goal,

935
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: but they trust they're all, you know, Romandre Stevenson in

936
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: the rushing attack. But Bailey Zappy over three yards passing

937
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: just connecting with a number of targets. Some guys really

938
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: helped him out. Davonte Parker had a great catch down

939
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: the sideline. He get hooked up with Jecoby Meyers a

940
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: variety of times. Hunter Henry had the touchdown. We looked

941
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: down the list here you got uh nine eight nine

942
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: different guys who had receptions. Well, Zappy, I guess had

943
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: one according to this because it was a bad seven

944
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: who had receptions. All right, I mean like he had

945
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: a great game. He had a great game, and we

946
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: talked about quarterback along term there. Now I give it

947
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: a little bit now like Dallas, there shouldn't be a

948
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: just controversy in Dallas, but maybe in New England. He's

949
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: got pretty much gotten much better each week, which is

950
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: a great side. I have a hard time believing they

951
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: would sit Jones when he's healthy, but he might not

952
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: be all the way back. You're right, Like he got

953
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: to his second and third read on the Taekwan touchdown

954
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: Taekwon Thornton, who was a rookie second round pick speedster.

955
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: It came off. I are a couple of weeks ago.

956
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a big part to this offense.

957
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: He had a rushing touchdown today to a couple of

958
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: different reds on there. I just thought this was a

959
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: coaching game. Yes, Zappy played well, but guys are open,

960
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: Like there were so many Patriots guys open this year.

961
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of Brown's guys open in

962
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: this game. Like even the plays that Jacoby Brissette made

963
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: and the receivers made was in tight coverage. And you

964
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: kind of compare that and you think about coaching. Then

965
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: you think about the other side, and you think about

966
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: Joe Woods having kind of no answer uh with a

967
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of talent uh in wide open guys and confusion,

968
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: and you flip the other side and it's like the

969
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: Patriots are coaching up these rookie defensive back Marcus Jones

970
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: and Jack Jones. They've got two rookie cornerbacks starting uh

971
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: playing starting snaps, playing great and like to me, it

972
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: felt like a very much a coaching win. Nick Shook. Yeah, Greg,

973
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: you know, I think that statistically the Patriots defense doesn't

974
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: stand out as a great one, but if you watch

975
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: them in a week by week, yes, they're very good.

976
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: You need to are paying attention football world to the

977
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: Patriots defense because they're really coming together, of course under

978
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: the direction of Bill Belichick. And then on the flip

979
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: side of the poin like you said, Joe Woods, another

980
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: bad performance from this defense. I'm getting some feeling here

981
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: in Cleveland that people are gonna be wanting some heads

982
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: to roll, potentially, which is not good at this time.

983
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: It's week six, but they're gonna want jobs on the line,

984
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: like they're they're disgusted with this so um it's it's

985
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting when it's time to create a scapegoat

986
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: if you're Kevin Stefanski. Probably because I think that Joe

987
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: Woods the defense. I know there were moments stretches of

988
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: time a year ago where they looked competent, but this

989
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: defense seems to me to have week by week breakdowns,

990
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: and I would just flip it around because Dan's big

991
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: thing all week was like run Nick chop until the

992
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: earth ends. He had twelve rushes for fifty six yards.

993
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: I know that's England did a nice job against the

994
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: Lions with against the run a week ago. They did

995
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: it again. Could Cleveland just not get into their game

996
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: script here? Well, they struggled to run the ball on

997
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: first down, but then the I think the worst offense

998
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: I thought today was Kevins and Fancy's worst called game

999
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: of his career with the Browns game a year ago

1000
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: against pill Bela. No, this is worst. This is worst.

1001
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: They were within striking distance. They were within striking distance,

1002
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: and you're down eleven points early third quarter, You're facing

1003
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: the twenty two rank rushing defense, you have Nick Chubb,

1004
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: and you line up Jacoby Brissette dropping back to throwing

1005
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: three straight downs and punt the ball. I mean it

1006
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: happened over and over. They abandoned the run. There no

1007
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: no reason. With a lot of time left. You know

1008
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: who wouldn't do that. One of the best offensive play

1009
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: callers in the league right now, Patricia And when you

1010
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: want to develop an offense with like young players Bailey

1011
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: Zappi and Cole Strange and thor and you just go

1012
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: to an offensive mind like Matt Patricia. Now, we can't

1013
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: do this, seriously, a dude, we can't. We can't give

1014
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia collection of roundhouse kicks and upper cuts all

1015
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 1: through these I think people under then and mock his success.

1016
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: I'm not mocking great. I'm trying to mock myself. I mean,

1017
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: I'm mocking how wrong we were, because right if if

1018
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: McDaniels called this game, we would be saying, like, what

1019
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: an amazing job McDaniels is doing with Zappy. And there

1020
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: were a couple of really great play calls. You meant

1021
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: to the third and ten uh to Mondre Stevenson, you

1022
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: know where they running. I think they're running for first

1023
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: down there, that's not a give up down. And then

1024
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: the bigger one was third and one late in the game.

1025
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: You just expect them to power up the middle. And

1026
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: then they call the play action. And that's where I

1027
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: blame Joe Woulds. They call the play action, that's the

1028
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: long touchdown past the Henry. They're they're calling an aggressive game,

1029
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: playing with bailib Zappy. But this is where I blame

1030
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: coaching a little bit. Like any play action fake every

1031
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 1: Brown's defensive player is running five yards forward and there's

1032
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: just like a sea of air behind them for the

1033
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: tight ends. That's the other coach this season that talked

1034
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: about scaling down the playbook and simplifying them. That's to

1035
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: me just as a little unsolicited advice for Stefanski. Gotta

1036
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: be strategic in your scapegoty, because if you if you

1037
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: can hold off until January, that way you can have

1038
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: something you could point to something after the season. If

1039
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,479
Speaker 1: you dump your DC now and the season doesn't get better,

1040
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: you could have a problem in January. Answering. You like

1041
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 1: to call that the old Mike Nolan move. I really

1042
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: feel like the Jets kind of stole there, like that game.

1043
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: In hindsight, they stole their souls. I hope not season

1044
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, because then the two Browns, That's what

1045
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm hoping, because you're, you know, you're losing close games,

1046
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: and you convince yourself you're a better team than your

1047
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: record and the Browns are. But then at some point

1048
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: you end up start playing bad games. And the Jets,

1049
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: on the other hand, got lucky a couple of times,

1050
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 1: but then you end up start playing better. Body swap

1051
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 1: eighties comedy we've seen eighties football today, let's say shook

1052
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: not everyone's laughing. Thank you, buddy, And no matter what

1053
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: happens in the baseball game, you and I are still

1054
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: gonna be tight. I know that. Okay, good, I'm glad

1055
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: you know I was there last night. You know, too bad.

1056
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: We can't we can't talk anymore about it, but Chookie,

1057
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: thank you and we'll see you next week, buddy. As always.

1058
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: All right, we said goodbye to Nick Check. But before

1059
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: we leave, Cleman, I do want you guys to hear

1060
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: just a delight shot moment from Kevin Harlan. Please, friend

1061
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: of the show. Yeah, please, good friend. Friend. I love

1062
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: my family and I love football, but I love blimps.

1063
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: Maybe number three. We've had some incredible shots to love.

1064
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: I love food, I love blimp. Lamb likes blimps even

1065
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: more than food. You know, that's kind of there's some

1066
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: boomer energy there, because, like um, he probably also loves

1067
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: fireworks and he loves space travel things like that the

1068
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: Man on the Moon. And I've always wanted to be

1069
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: in a blimp, like in the little metal part underneath

1070
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: the blimp itself, that little place where you look out

1071
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: the window and you know. I've been on Trent Green

1072
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: over the years. Yeah, they're also known as the cockpit.

1073
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: I'd imagine it would be nice we should all take

1074
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: the little metal part with the windows that you look

1075
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: at while you're underneath the blind part of it. Yeah,

1076
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: right way to say it. I've been hired on Trent

1077
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: Green over theres by the way. But if there's one

1078
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: thing Trent Green can do, it can be a straight

1079
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: man to like a comedy books as straight as possible.

1080
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break. We'll be right back.

1081
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: Let's head to Indie where the Colts they're getting off

1082
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: the mat. Curdy thirteen. Now for the Colts, twenty three

1083
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: seconds left, Coolts down by a point. Cry throws down

1084
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: the near sideline looking for Alec Pierce. Please get it,

1085
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: touch God, touch down. Alec Pierson starts it into the

1086
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: old side. Touched it out, thirty two yard crowd over

1087
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: the shoulders. Stuff Alec Pierce thirty two twenty seven Colts.

1088
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: Nice ball, nice catch. Matt Taylor doub you f n

1089
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: I with the call. Mattie Ice back, Colts back, Maybe

1090
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: come on. Matt Ryan lobbed a perfect thirty two yard

1091
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: touchdown past the rookie receiver Alec Pierce seventeen seconds to play,

1092
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: gave the Colts at thirty seven victory over the Jaguars.

1093
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Listen to the stat line. Ryan was forty

1094
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: two a fifty eight. Jonathan Taylor was a late scratch

1095
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning for three eight, nine and three touchdowns,

1096
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 1: which is outrageous, but it shows that it's still it's

1097
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: still within him. So let's bring in our AFC South correspondent,

1098
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: the Grave Digger justin And I know this is annoying,

1099
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: but does it feel like the Colts are kind of

1100
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: finding their way here? We talked about that a little

1101
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 1: on Thursday. This is what the Colts do. They get

1102
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: better as the season goes on. This is a game

1103
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: that they lad for seventeen total seconds, the most important

1104
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: seventeen seconds, the last seventeen s. It wasn't even Digger,

1105
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: your your Colts will finish last place in the see

1106
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: South sandwich prop is looking like a big fat oh

1107
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: and four right now. But that was a fun prediction. Sure,

1108
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: so I don't know, um so who really lost? To

1109
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 1: see your angle like, it's like the friends we made

1110
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,280
Speaker 1: along the way. Is the sandwiches for me. You should

1111
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: know by the way that Mark was staring straight ahead,

1112
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: tapping his fingers on the glass and went the showman.

1113
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: I do think that you have an element of a showman.

1114
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're you're doing a fairly good job.

1115
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: Sorry to totally sidetrack you with the irrelevant sandwich, doing fairly,

1116
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: You're doing a good job, a very good job. You're

1117
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: doing an excellent You give your kids like more enthusiastic

1118
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: affirmation than that this is an okay, hard project. Smart

1119
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: wants me to keep improving. I get it. It's good constructed. Yeah. Um.

1120
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: It was kind of a weird game because it felt

1121
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: like the Jags sort of dominated the first half, but

1122
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: then they were only winning fourteen thirteen at halftime, and

1123
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: then Trevor Lawrence didn't have to do a whole lot.

1124
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are able to run the ball really well.

1125
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: E t n snapped off a couple huge runs. Ag

1126
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: Knew had a reverse play that was tossed around in

1127
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: the backfield a little bit and that he took for

1128
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: a long run. And then the Colts came back and

1129
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: they stopped, they started stopping the run. They came down,

1130
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: they took a lead Trevor Lawrence had an incredible response drive.

1131
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: It was like the only time in the whole game

1132
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: that he had to do anything, and he he was

1133
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: great converting on third downs using his legs, using his

1134
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: arm and got them in into the end zone with

1135
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: touchdown to Christian Kirk. And then the Colts came down

1136
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: with two minutes ago and they and they did it.

1137
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: They went and they scored, and it was weird because

1138
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: they got down into field goal range. They converted on

1139
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: a third and four, they converted on a third and

1140
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: ten into field goal range. Matt Ryan takes a snap

1141
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: where they're like just trying to milk the clock and

1142
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: set up a better field goal and stumbles and falls

1143
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: down and loses four yards and it turns into what

1144
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: would have been field goal and then two plays later

1145
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 1: it's third and thirteen. They were forced into being aggressive. Yeah,

1146
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: they caught the Jaguars in single coverage, threw it up

1147
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: to Alec Pearson. He made a great play over Shatt

1148
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: Griffin and that was the game. I'm seeing this Jaguars

1149
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: drive that you mentioned, eighteen plays, seventy two yards, had

1150
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: it for ten plus minutes. But if you were the

1151
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: Cults organization, and you could have one vision after the

1152
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz melt down a year ago against the Jaguars,

1153
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: and you could see that you go get Matt Ryan,

1154
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: he throws the ball fifty plus times. You closed the

1155
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,479
Speaker 1: game with a touchdown field goal and three straight touchdown drivers.

1156
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: You'd be thinking, this this money in the bank, We're

1157
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: going to the NFC title game. It's just that it's

1158
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: been everything other half. There's a problem. So I'm not

1159
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: saying none of it matters. But the fact that they've

1160
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: gotten out of this at three two and one, you

1161
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: know they can they can improve that. We know that

1162
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: Frank Reich has the play colleging ability to improve. I

1163
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: love that they believed in what they were gonna do

1164
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 1: today in terms of their short passing, and they got

1165
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: it done. And their pass rush has really become a thing.

1166
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence four sacks in this game. He's starting to

1167
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: take too many sacks and hold onto the ball. But

1168
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: I think the Indianapolis pass rush won them that game

1169
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: a week ago. It sounds like they were crucial to

1170
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence took a sack on a play that could

1171
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: have been a field goal on the Jags first drive,

1172
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 1: and it just pushed them way out of field goal range.

1173
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: And then the Jaguars had the ball up by two

1174
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: with a chance to kick a short field goal, and

1175
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: they went for it with like an option play, and

1176
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: it was just there was no room for Lawrence. He

1177
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: pitched it to et Nd no room for him either,

1178
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: and like those were crucial. I mean, you get those

1179
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: two field goals. Obviously, it's a totally different game. Come

1180
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: back to US Jaguars. I thought you were going to

1181
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: be a fun part of this season. I'm kind of, yeah, well, yeah,

1182
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: this is this is a near win. But yeah, they've

1183
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: been disappointing the last few weeks and they The decision

1184
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: to not play Jonathan Taylor probably was a very difficult

1185
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: one for Frank Reich because I don't imagine he thought

1186
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: maybe this Matt Ryan would be unlocked at this You

1187
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: didn't have night him Hines either. I think this was

1188
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: a game plan because Ryan threw the ball fifty eight times,

1189
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: I know, but if Jonathan Taylor is playing, I would

1190
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: imagine it's a different game exactly. So it's interesting that

1191
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: cults can evolve like this. But forty three of his

1192
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: fifty eight passes were within ten yards of the line.

1193
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: And here's the crazy and I don't know if you've

1194
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: already said it, an apologies that he did zero turnovers

1195
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: and zero sacks, so a lot of positives. That's kind

1196
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: of unheard of to have that many dropbacks in the

1197
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: offensive line to keep you cleaning, Ryan, who's a statue

1198
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: at this stage, to be able to make the decisions.

1199
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: Allow some people to be suspicious about where the who

1200
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: the Cults are going forward? That's all I mean. The

1201
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: Jackson I'm not getting in this division. They've they've studied

1202
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: the ship quickly. Like we mentioned, how quick you know

1203
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: along the season feels for the Dolphins and the Jaguars too.

1204
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: You can throw in there the fact they're getting out

1205
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: of this with a winning record here and some offensive

1206
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, good feelings were suspicious of the Cults as well.

1207
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Yes there they were good, but not great. I'm not

1208
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: even sure they're good, but they were good today. How

1209
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: many how many great teams are in the league though,

1210
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: going back to the theme of tonight they were dead.

1211
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: We we get the Chancellor for to a good team

1212
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bull. That's Michael Pittman career high alright,

1213
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: difference in the game. Thank you justin great work. The

1220
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Mark tried to make it his guy. Try to deny it.

1221
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I can still enjoy him as a player. I don't

1222
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: really care about this rule system that you've put uncocted.

1223
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Torik Willen had the game ceiling pick for the Seattle

1224
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks and their beleaguer defense, which really had its way.

1225
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: I guess you could say had their way. But the

1226
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals offense is struggling so much that it's hard

1227
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: to make sense of these performances sometimes. But at the

1228
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, nineteen nine Seahawks over the Cardinals. Oh,

1229
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals scored a touchdown. No, they didn't score a

1230
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: touchdown on offense. It was a bot special teams played

1231
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: by a Seattle that led to a dropped punt attempt

1232
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: and recovery in the end zone. That's how Arizona scored

1233
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown in this game. So their struggles continue, and

1234
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: good news on a day where your boy Gino Smith

1235
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Greggy didn't kill them with the mistakes, but took some

1236
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: sacks and the offense struggled to move the ball. UH

1237
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: with Rashod Penny out Kenneth Walker, who's a very important

1238
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: guy in this on this team now if Seattle hopes

1239
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, he ran for ninety seven yards,

1240
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: had a fourth quarter touchdown nineteen nine. There you go.

1241
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: And as crazy as it is because we saw it

1242
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: as a big time division potentially the Seahawks at three

1243
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: and three UH share the lead in the NFC West

1244
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: with UH San Francisco. Wow, so you know, first place

1245
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and Gino is a first place quarterback. But this

1246
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: was a kind of a toughie this game. It was

1247
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: playing opposite hypothetically or potentially the game of the year

1248
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: UH Buffalo Kansas City. So it wasn't seeing football play

1249
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: at that level next to football being played at this level.

1250
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Not great, But at the end of the day, Seattle

1251
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: is not gonna apologize for anything, and they shouldn't. Tarik

1252
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Woolen may give Sauce Gardner not only competition for defensive

1253
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, but just best like defensive rookie cornerback.

1254
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: And he's got the same confidence you gotta love cornerbacks.

1255
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Asked you know about his interceptions after the game, he said,

1256
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would throw to a six

1257
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: four corner who runs a four to six. That is

1258
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: like he's that ros used to play, you know, wide receiver,

1259
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: so he's learning the position. It's one of the reasons

1260
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: I think he's like taking such an exponential leap. They

1261
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: are putting together potentially one of the most impactful rookie

1262
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: draft classes of the last decade. Both of their starting

1263
01:03:54,280 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: tackles are playing well. Uh Cross and Lucas Murray. Uh

1264
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: you mean, I mean Kenneth Walker. You mentioned a rookie

1265
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: at running back, Terek Woolen having this. That's four guys

1266
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: not only playing but playing well. And oh, by the way,

1267
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: they're they're also playing boy A Mafe a decent amount.

1268
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: They're kind of starting Kobe Bryant. I don't think he's

1269
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: played that well, but he's been played. That's six rookies

1270
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: that are basically starting and four of them are playing

1271
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: at a really high level. If you're a Seahawks fan,

1272
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: you've gotta feel great about this kind of rebuilding season,

1273
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: especially on a day like today where you needed the

1274
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: defense to show you maybe they'll give this team a

1275
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: chance to stay relevant. I mean, that's that's what they pitched.

1276
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: And I thought there were a lot of issues going

1277
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: into the season with the idea of Geno Versu Drew

1278
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: lock Um, but the youth part of it. Had the

1279
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: class worked out, you feel good about where they are,

1280
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and like Richard Sherman came out and just said, this

1281
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: is one of the most amazing rookie classes he's ever

1282
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 1: seen as a player, and I mean, he understands what

1283
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Carol's trying to do. I think it's such a such

1284
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: a like an energy shift from what's going on with

1285
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Arizona because the idea that DeAndre Hopkins is gonna return

1286
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: next week and change what's going on with this offense

1287
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: four point where yards per play there are a horizontical

1288
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: They're they're essentially a horizontal offense that can't unhook from

1289
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: what from their issues. They're terrible on third down and

1290
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray cannot do it alone. He's not that kind

1291
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: of quarterback. I mean, he can be that kind of quarterback,

1292
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 1: but when there's a scheme, is this uneven and uninspired?

1293
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody could save the day. He runs

1294
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards in this game, but like it

1295
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: is horizontal, there's no vertical element to the game. And

1296
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting and unfortunate that kind of

1297
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: been talking for the last couple of weeks thrown in there. Well,

1298
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is right on the round the corner and

1299
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: Marky's brown, he's getting himself paid, He's having a big year.

1300
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: He's helped off the field late in this game with

1301
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: some type of ankle issue. He did not look like

1302
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: he didn't get carded or anything, but he looked like

1303
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: a guy that he got it landed on. I believe

1304
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: on the interception. Um, So we have to see what's

1305
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: going on with him physically, because if it becomes a

1306
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: situation where DeAndre Hopkins returns and then Hollywood goes out,

1307
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean that just sums up the frustrations in Arizona,

1308
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: who are now two and four and firmly in the

1309
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: discussion of you know, the most disappointing teams in the league.

1310
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: And and I can't help it. And I'm looking forward

1311
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: to you guys like watching this game, but I can't

1312
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: help but think, like, what what is management thinking? Now?

1313
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, who do you can't fire the

1314
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: play caller? You just gave Cliff Kingsbury an extension, but

1315
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: nothing seems to be functional right now with Arizona. I

1316
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: don't think the extension matters at all. If things get worse,

1317
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: and worse matters a little because if they didn't have

1318
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: an extension, I would expect him to get fired. With

1319
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: the extension, I feel like there it's a deeper discussion.

1320
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: The defense has improved each week, which is why this

1321
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 1: total clunker from the offense. I mean three points against

1322
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I mean that's literally the worst possible game

1323
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: you can have in the NFL, is scoring three points

1324
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. If there was a flip side going on here,

1325
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: it would be what's happening in Arizona. But the way

1326
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: the organization is set up right now, it's hard to say.

1327
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: And one more note on their offense. They went over

1328
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: three on fourth and short in this game, so they

1329
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: just don't have their vertical games hurting. If they need

1330
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: a yard, they're not getting that either. Um, it's a

1331
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: tough watch to watch. I watched them on Sundays like

1332
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: four times, and I'm not doing it again anytime. So

1333
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: what you don't want to be like the Vikings are

1334
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: a five and one that by the eye test doesn't

1335
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: really look like five and one. The Cardinals are a

1336
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: two and four that by the eye test aren't as

1337
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: good as two and four, which is like, that's that's

1338
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: where you don't want to place to live. Let's take

1339
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be right back. All right, we're back.

1340
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers with their new interim head coach profile,

1341
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: does it get right opponent for the defending champs. Let's

1342
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: see if that's how it played out? Twenty seconds rout

1343
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: in the third quarter another jet suite, I hang off SCARONI.

1344
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: He's got speed, he's got the edge, he does touchdowns. Hello,

1345
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: his first as a pro gives the Rams a league

1346
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:55,479
Speaker 1: keep for the third quarter. Love A J. B. Long

1347
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Our buddy Caspn with the call. Also another Rams employee,

1348
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Ricky Hollywood Great archa temp Post sent us a video

1349
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: of Sam Donald stretching. He was doing that pregame saim

1350
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Donald ready to shock the world potentially before not Anyway,

1351
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,919
Speaker 1: the Rams, yes, did take care of business at home.

1352
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Mattie Stafford passed for two fifty three and overcame another

1353
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: pick six, and Ben score Nick rushed for a touchdown

1354
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: in the second half, as did Darryl Henderson two game

1355
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: losing streak over the Carolina Panthers, and yes, Steve Wilks

1356
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: in his first game as in term coach Greggy Um

1357
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: you saw signs here of the Rams as they head

1358
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: into their by being able to feel kind of better

1359
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: about themselves. I thought this was a significant game for

1360
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: the Rams. Not only do you have to avoid a

1361
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: loss against this Panthers team, but you have to start

1362
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: showing that you could play offensive football. And the Panthers

1363
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 1: defense hadn't been that bad throughout the course of this season,

1364
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: and they played well in the first half of this

1365
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: game like it was just another ugly Rams game, and

1366
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: he just felt like more of the same. And in

1367
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: the second half of this game just felt like for

1368
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: three drives, we saw the Rams offense twelve play seventy

1369
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 1: two yard field goal drive that came up just short,

1370
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: five play eight yard touchdown, drive ten play UH sixty

1371
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: one yard touchdown drive and it just was using the

1372
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 1: classic sort of RAMS plays where Sean McVeigh was one

1373
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: step ahead of the defense. Allen Robinson had his best game,

1374
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: maybe a big made a big mistake I would say,

1375
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,640
Speaker 1: where he faked out Stafford on the goal line that

1376
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: led to the field goal. But for the most part

1377
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: five for sixty three and a touchdown. He he played well,

1378
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: and I just felt like it was important for them

1379
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: to go into their bye week feeling like that. The

1380
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: defense was absolutely dominant, as you would expect going up

1381
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: against PG Walker, but it was kind of next level dominant.

1382
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: There was a seven drive sequence where I believe they

1383
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: had about thirty eight yards UH and they had no

1384
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: first downds for a six drive sequence, so it was dominant.

1385
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 1: What else can you ask for other than health, which

1386
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: they don't have. They lost left tackle Joe nope Boom

1387
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: potentially for the season to an achilles injury in this game.

1388
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: So as good as the second half felt, that is

1389
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 1: a big Pyric victory. That is a killer for me

1390
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: because I we're looking at their issues and you know,

1391
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with someone like Cam Akers who

1392
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: was essentially not played today if not active because of

1393
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: personal issues. I want to get rid of them, I think.

1394
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: But like the Rams, to me, they're three and three

1395
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: and have looked really poor at times because of their

1396
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:26,719
Speaker 1: offensive line problems. I mean, it's really it. I don't

1397
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't doubt Sean McVeigh. I don't doubt like their

1398
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 1: skills position players in general, but the scheme has been

1399
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: totally out of whack because I doubt their skill position

1400
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: players too. I think it's the combination. Well all right,

1401
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, like they work their way out of

1402
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: the dark corner last year where they didn't win for

1403
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: an entire month. I think they have the DNA to

1404
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: do that, But I don't know if you can do

1405
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: that when you've gone and lost another offensive line and

1406
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: there's so much chaos happening because of that unit not

1407
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 1: looking like a professional unit mostly weeks. The Rams getting

1408
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: to the buy three and three is nice, um and

1409
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: important for them, but there's so much work to do,

1410
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: as you're saying, And on the Panthers side of the ball,

1411
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: you know not too much here because we know this

1412
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: is an organization in flux. But Steve Wilks in his

1413
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: first game on the sideline sent Robby Anderson off the

1414
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: field and into the locker room. I guess I don't

1415
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: know the details man, on that, I'd like to hear

1416
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: more in some sort of argument with the wide receivers coach.

1417
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: He wasn't being played that much, and it seemed like

1418
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: it was more uh decision, not based on an injury,

1419
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,879
Speaker 1: that they were essentially just benching him. It sounds they're

1420
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: actively like open to trading him and Christian McCaffrey, and

1421
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: I think that could have played into some of this

1422
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: is the latest on that that Peter Schreeger, our own

1423
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Peter Schreger reports that the Panthers want multiple first round

1424
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: picks for Christian McCaffrey. So obviously, any team that's playing

1425
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: the Panthers right now pick them, because this is not

1426
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: a team that's looking at the season in the same

1427
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: way as their opponent. Most likely. Let's move to the

1428
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: field formerly known as Hines, where the Steelers had a

1429
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 1: date with Tom Brady ris in the gun. Long count

1430
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: gets the snap, he's back fires from the end zone,

1431
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 1: little Scot wrong into some NG coverage with a great job, Mitch.

1432
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: He just seen it, man, and he let it go.

1433
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: He sees it that he does it. That's our saying,

1434
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: that's our friend. That was like a little kiss on

1435
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 1: the daisy. Bill Hill grow up and Craig will leave

1436
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: with the called W d V E. Chase Claypool scores,

1437
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Mitch Trobinsky comes in for a concussed Kenny Pickett and

1438
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: makes plays. How about that? As Pittsburgh snaps a four

1439
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 1: game losing streak and beats Tom Brady and the Bucks

1440
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: twenty to eighteen. I don't know, Mark, I didn't see

1441
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 1: a second of this one. You need to give us

1442
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: how did this happen? It's um to me kind of

1443
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: the stamp of the Steelers where you're coming off and

1444
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,759
Speaker 1: really embarrassed seen loss, the worst of Mike Tomlin's career

1445
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to turn around and do what they did, because I

1446
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: let's start with who the Steelers did not have. You

1447
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: don't have t J. Watt on defense. Minca Fitzpatrick was out,

1448
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 1: A Kilo Witherspoon was out, Cam Sutton was out, Levi Wallace.

1449
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: You're missing essentially your secondary back there. You're I mean,

1450
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: And so this would have been the day for Tom Brady,

1451
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: who had thrown for seven hundred plus yards in the

1452
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: past two weeks to throw the ball downfield. Nope. Uh. Instead,

1453
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: I think what happened here was Rabinsky coming in fired

1454
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: up after you lose Kenny pip It was his best

1455
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: game of the year. It really was. It was like

1456
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: perfect exactly because it was like the heat was off

1457
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: and you come in and just do what you can.

1458
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,879
Speaker 1: The game was manageable. He hooked up with Connor Hayward

1459
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: on a forty five yard catcher on that's Cam Heyward's brother.

1460
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: That led to the Chase Claypool touchdown and put them

1461
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 1: up twenty to twelve. Then I thought the classic Bucks

1462
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: thing because we've seen it all year. They're a field

1463
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: goal offense, and they were all day today, long drives,

1464
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 1: ten plus plays. They got close, but not close enough.

1465
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 1: They had a chance to tie this game. They goes

1466
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen plays, seventy three yards for a touchdown, and

1467
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: then Chris Godwin on the two point conversion cannot pull

1468
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: down the Tom Brady pass. It's eighteen and so here's

1469
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: where Traubisky could come and mess it up and you

1470
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: got the Tom Brady come back. Instead, Mitch hits Claypool

1471
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 1: on a seventeen yard pass utiful. He hit him on

1472
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: a twenty six yard or and then Trabisky, unwilling to

1473
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: be denied, runs for a key nine yard chain mover

1474
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: and then converts the first down to win the game essentially,

1475
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady's look throughout this game seemed to be

1476
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: about as frustrated as I've seen him. Let's hear from

1477
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. W Yes, you can see it, and you

1478
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: can hear it. The man is losing patience. Losing comes

1479
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: down to obviously scoring less points than the other team

1480
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: than you evaluate. Why you scored less points than another

1481
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: team doesn't matter. If Steelers are the chiefs of the right,

1482
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: so you can look at this and say, well, why

1483
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: don't we score more points? That means that's fair. I

1484
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: was about to be he's so much an analyst, so

1485
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: he's say thing that now we're like sometimes it takes

1486
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: your breath away. He's like, he said so little, they're right,

1487
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: but that now we're built into like looking at the

1488
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: tone of his voice, and he does. He does have

1489
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: that feeling. And I think Belichick is similar. When they

1490
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: lose a game, it's kind of like all of the

1491
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: life force and inside of them has been sucked out

1492
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 1: like Freddie Krueger once sucked out all the air from

1493
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: one of his victims and it's just like nothing. Yeah,

1494
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: but how about the idea that all that was sucked

1495
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: out of him at Bob Craft's wedding or birthday or whatever.

1496
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: People need to calm down about that. So what do

1497
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 1: he went to a wedding? Unfair? I heard from desk

1498
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: chief Dave Eale that he missed like some does any

1499
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: of this sound like the Tom Brady that we have

1500
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: grown to know and respect. I'm not listen, I'm not

1501
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: challenging his professionalism. I'm just saying this is not the

1502
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: first time we're hearing these kind of stories that you

1503
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 1: just wonder where he's at, where's time at right? Plus

1504
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: everything else going on in his life. I mean it's

1505
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: like you, you are going through these changes to lose

1506
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 1: this game against the Mitch Drabinsky lead Steelers. I mean

1507
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: he was like, I think, god, we didn't take them lightly,

1508
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: because they were like, did you take him lightly? He's

1509
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: like number one, number two. I think guys living off

1510
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl are living in a fantasy land. You

1511
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: gotta get your hands dirty and go to work like

1512
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: everybody else. Maybe there it's something to this got them

1513
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: didn't go to work. I mean he literally didn't go

1514
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: to work. He went to Robert Craft's wedding. He did not.

1515
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: That was a fairytale wedding though, from what I understand,

1516
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm wait, what if this is the perfect role for

1517
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Mitch Drabinsky. I think we know it is, but I

1518
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: really mean it. Um. You know, sometimes a hyped up

1519
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: starting pitcher in baseball, you know it doesn't turn into

1520
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, but you bring him in as

1521
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: a guy who could have some flexibility in the bullpen.

1522
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes he gives you four, sometimes he gives you two.

1523
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: Either way, he brings you heat. Mitch Drabinsky as a

1524
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: good backup who has frisk for a game or two

1525
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: a season that I can live with the next seven years.

1526
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: What you're what you're saying makes sense in in baseball

1527
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: would be like his stuff plays up in relief, right,

1528
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: his fastball has got a little more life. You know,

1529
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: it's just maybe this is his role in life. I

1530
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: don't think it's not a bad role. You did it

1531
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: for fifteen years. He's now a great Amazon analyt. The

1532
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: model is not to have your starter concussed weekly, so

1533
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: that Trebis could come in a good spot and feel

1534
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: good about to start next week. Alright, one more game,

1535
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: let's hit who Sunday second d eight rush downfield, CD

1536
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: lamb open, it's under drowned and it's scooped. It intercepted.

1537
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,799
Speaker 1: C J. Garter Johnson hurt his hand earlier in his half.

1538
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: He's okay, He's more than okay. He's got the big tick.

1539
01:17:54,160 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Mike Turgo with the call, NBC. The Philadelphia Eagles are

1540
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: six and oh. They got two interceptions from c. J.

1541
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, one of three thrown by Cooper Rush in

1542
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: to seventeen. Win for Philly once again, Greg and uh,

1543
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: we're taking this home. Mark had something to take care of.

1544
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: Um once again. The Eagles, and this is a historic

1545
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: thing now, are dominant in the second quarter of games

1546
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: this year. This was a scoreless first quarter. I know

1547
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 1: Eagles are marching at the end of the first quarter,

1548
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: but they outscored Dallas twenty three in the second quarter. Uh.

1549
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: The Cowboys fought back admirably in the second half, but

1550
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: putting themselves at that advantage allowed Philly to coast to

1551
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: six and O, well, not quite coast. They finished the

1552
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: job and there's a way to look at this game

1553
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: and see, like ho hom It's like, Okay, Cooper Rush

1554
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,799
Speaker 1: was starting. The Cowboys held the Eagles under three hundred

1555
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: yards of offense. The Eagles average under four yards for play,

1556
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, you did the thing. You beat

1557
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at home. No big deal, let's not go crazy.

1558
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 1: But I do love the way this team has responded.

1559
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: So it's in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys just had

1560
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: maybe their best drive of the season, ninety three yards,

1561
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: their second touchdown drive of the second half to make

1562
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: it seventeen and very similar to a week ago Dan

1563
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: when it was tied against the Cardinals and it was

1564
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: not cutting time. Uh, they just handed the ball off.

1565
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: They said, Okay, we've struggled in the second half of

1566
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 1: games offensively this year. What are we gonna do. They're

1567
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: just gonna help hand the ball off ten out of

1568
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: eleven place to start that next drive, Jalen Hurts either

1569
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: hands it off or he runs it himself, including on

1570
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 1: a scrambled Then they throw a couple of times on

1571
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: the goal line get the touchdown. And I just like

1572
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: the way this team has responded in those big moments.

1573
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: We've seen them dominant for quarters at a time, him

1574
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: off in the second quarter, sometimes even games at a time.

1575
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: We've seen the defense step up, and we can talk

1576
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 1: about that. But I like how when push comes to shove,

1577
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: it's just like we're gonna run over you, and so

1578
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: far no one's been able to stop, including a great

1579
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. Right. We talked about how Dallas had not

1580
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: given up more than a touchdown in any of their

1581
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: first five games, and then he get lit up in

1582
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: this game. In fact, uh, Philadelphia average only three and

1583
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: a half yards to carry on thirty nine carries, So

1584
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did a nice job overall. Hurts only through

1585
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: for a hundred and fifty five yards. Uh, So I

1586
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: think the Dallas defense. I don't come out of this

1587
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: game in general, Greggy, I don't come out of this

1588
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: game thinking anything less of the Cowboys team. If not,

1589
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: if nothing, I might even think more of them, especially

1590
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott right around the bend now. But yeah,

1591
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: that big drive did say a lot. It was Jalen

1592
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Hurts who has impeccable instincts when it comes to that

1593
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: read option and knowing when to hold him and when

1594
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: to fold him, and uh, that has got them some

1595
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: big conversions in this game, and then you have their

1596
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: their one two punch a wide receiver. While neither of

1597
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: them filled up the box score. A J. Brown and

1598
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Davanta Smith each made big plays in this game, scoring touchdown.

1599
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, we see it week after week with Philly

1600
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: the only undefeated team in the league. They've they may

1601
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 1: not be as uh dominant and a visually appealing way

1602
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: at the at the level of the Chiefs or the Bills.

1603
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: They are. They're highly sexualized to me as well, But

1604
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like there's something to be said for

1605
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: this team's ability to win in so many different ways.

1606
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: They're well coached with a lot of talent and that

1607
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: goes a long way, and they've had some adversity. So

1608
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson, they're they're great right tackle as a concussion

1609
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: in this game. It's going into the bye week and

1610
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: they have a pretty easy schedule after the bye week,

1611
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,799
Speaker 1: so hopefully he's able to get better. But the second

1612
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 1: he was out, Michael Parsons and the rest of the

1613
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense started feasting for a few drives, really attacking them.

1614
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: They had another starter on the often to line out

1615
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: for portions of this game, Jordan my Lot is banged

1616
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: up as well with the shoulders. So this is a

1617
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 1: nice time by here, right. So they I just they've

1618
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: handled the different obstacles that have been in their way,

1619
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: and part of it's just turnovers. You mentioned, you know,

1620
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson had two picks. One of those was tipped

1621
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: by James Bradberry, whose numbers this year are just like outrageous.

1622
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: I feel like he's breaking next gen stats. They showed

1623
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: that he's averaging two yards per throw two and a

1624
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: half yards per throw on throws to him this year.

1625
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,799
Speaker 1: I mean, what what is that like? And he's supposed

1626
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: to be their second corner and tonight he was involved

1627
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: in in two of those interceptions. He has been outstanding,

1628
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: like they have playmakers. Brandon Graham had kind of the

1629
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: classic Brandon Graham play to clinch the game where he

1630
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get anything in the statue. He might have got

1631
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback hit, but he's the one who pushes Cooper

1632
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Rush to the ground as he throws that interception. So

1633
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: everything is just feeling very Eagles e. They get to

1634
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 1: this by they're just gonna be kicking back. I'm with you,

1635
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 1: I don't I feel good about the Cowboys. We were

1636
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: talking about how your power rankings are messy this week,

1637
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: and that's you know, people should listen to the Power

1638
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: Ranking show for that. But like after the top three,

1639
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,879
Speaker 1: who knows, And I think I might keep the Cowboys

1640
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: in my top my personal top five. I think they're impressive.

1641
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: I will spoiler alert, I will be moving the Cowboys

1642
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,600
Speaker 1: up off our loss because I do think they overall

1643
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: comported themselves well in this game, especially when it could

1644
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: have gotten very messy and turned into another blood bath

1645
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 1: in primetime, just to stick it to Tariko. Who somebody's

1646
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: got a voodoo doll somewhere of Tariko. But this game

1647
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: ended up turning interesting in the second half. Cooper Rush.

1648
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 1: It's time too for Cooper Rush to return from whence

1649
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: he came to a nice cozy backup role. I thought

1650
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: we saw that a little bit in the in the

1651
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: in the second quarter when Philly goes in the long

1652
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: march and the Cowboys get the ball back and he

1653
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: kind of throws the ball into coverage, gets deflected, intercepted,

1654
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: leads to seven more points for Phil. You just need

1655
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 1: the game script to be perfectly set up for Rush,

1656
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: but overall, he did a very nice job. If this

1657
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: is indeed his final start, we'll see, we'll see, we'll

1658
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 1: see where Deck is. But in general, we talked about

1659
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: this this stretch of games. The Cowboys not get didn't

1660
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: get the win here, but at four and two, they

1661
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: would have signed up for that. They would have run

1662
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 1: to the paper to sign up for that. After six

1663
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: games so are too good. Some good signs. They're running

1664
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 1: the ball well. Pollard and Elliott both ran it well tonight.

1665
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 1: The offensive line is playing better. I do think that

1666
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: the lack of explosion we were worried about in terms

1667
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: of their pass catchers, We'll see if that changes with Doc,

1668
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: it will certainly improve, but I think it might still

1669
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: be there. Michael Gallup coming off of a you know,

1670
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: really serious injury, doesn't seem like himself. It's still just

1671
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: seedee lamb. But that that's relatively small problems for a

1672
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: team here that's four and yeah. I guess I'm just

1673
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 1: leaning on Deck is just a much more dynamic player,

1674
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,719
Speaker 1: uh than Cooper rush h. We will see when turns.

1675
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: Oh we have a lock. Oh, that's right, I switched

1676
01:24:55,080 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: it out of the Giants lock or the Ravens. Some

1677
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: people are calling that the Lock coaching move of the century.

1678
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: And also Greg on the Friday Fun Show predicted that

1679
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense would end the Cooper Rush hype with

1680
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: two turnovers because there were three turnovers. Well what, I

1681
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: had to hit it at least two. Yeah, no, that's

1682
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: not that's that's a miss. But we'll save that litigation

1683
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: for Friday Show. And oh, by the way, the next

1684
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,479

01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 1: probably not gonna happen. We'll have Power Rankings Tuesday. We'll
