1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fa M It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: for Monday December. You can hear in my voice. It

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: was an incredible Sunday. And I'm not just talking about

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: hanging out with the family watching fireworks down in the

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: South Bay of Los Angeles. A beautiful night of fireworks,

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: A gorgeous day of gambling. Oh my gosh, it was

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: an incredible rob g I gotta say I was on

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: cloud nine for much of Sunday. There was a stress

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: sweat where my family looked at me as if I

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: had I don't know, three heads or something growing out

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: of one of them. Um. It was between the forty

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Niners Bengals thriller, which we'll get to and the Bills

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers game. Just an awesome Sunday. Now, a lot of

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people will say, oh the favor it rolled,

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: the game stung so many blowouts. I don't know about you, guys.

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: If you're not in fantasy or gambling or survivor, yeah,

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: it's probably not as intense and fun. But uh, me

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: and my son are both trying to get into fantasy playoffs. Uh,

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: you guys know, I'm in the Survivor League. By the way,

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: zero people got knocked out. That's how much of or

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: of an obvious weekend it was. People still left in

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: in Survivor and I got bad news. I'll get to

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: it later on. I have nobody good left and this

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: weekend probably will end me as I'm legitimately looking at

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Jacksonville Jaquars. We'll get to that in a moment,

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: but we gotta start with the Buffalo Bills reeling just

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: I mean, they're on the brink, and they show up

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: in Tampa, or should I say they don't show up?

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: And it was twenty three at the half. I'm sitting

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: here holding my Bills plus three and a half in

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: the contest, I started out two and oh, and I'm like, oh, jeez,

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: what the hell's wrong with the Bills? Are they broken?

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: You know? Brian Dable, like, what are we doing? They

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: did not hand the football off once to a running

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: back in the first half. I saw. That was the

37
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: first time that's happened in something close to two decades.

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, third quarter comes around.

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Bill score. Okay, great, but the Buck score and we

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: go to the fourth and I basically had written the

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: game off, and that's when Buffalo starts coming back and

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this kind of sort of feels like

43
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo team that everybody thought would show up. Oh okay,

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: And next thing you know, Tampa Bay kind of goes

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: into I don't want to say prevent offense, but all

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Buffalo has life and you're like, okay, okay,

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Bill's you got this and they start coming back, and folks,

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: it's like when Josh Allen is rolling and it's digs

49
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: and I'm just telling you right now that Tampa Bay

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: secondary is bad. They were getting lit up. Whether it

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: was Dawson Knox, uh Cole Beasley had a day, It's

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: just not a good secondary. And yeah, I know they're

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: great at stopping the run, and Buffalo did not even

54
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: try to run in the first half, but Josh Allen

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: ended up killing him. He had three hundred yards passing

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing. That's a hell of an impressive day.

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen really trying to channel Josh Allen and ultimately listen,

58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: I I don't know where people fall in this, but

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: it's fourth and two twenty two seconds left, you're at

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay seven. You kicked the field goal, you

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: get overtime, or do you go for it and go

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: for the win. In the jugular, the problem is fourth

63
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: and two from the seven. I don't have the time

64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: out situation in front of me. I think they had one,

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: but like, you don't want to screw that up, Like

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: you get the first down and then you gotta rush

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: up and clock it. Then you get like one more

68
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: play and then you kicked the field goal. Anyway, I'm

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: okay with kicking the field goal there. What I'm certainly

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: not okay with is what the hell the Buffalo Bills

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: did after winning the coin toss three and out. Really,

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: they had all the momentum in the world. And I

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: know people say, hey man, there's no momentum in baseball,

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: and momentum is I don't know if I buy into it.

75
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: There's momentum in football, there's momentum in basketball. That's real.

76
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Go play any of those sports, and when the ball

77
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: gets rolling, you know, Josh Allen, the Bills had it

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: heading into the fourth. They get the ball in overtime,

79
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: like come on, and then of course you kicked the

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: ball back to Tom Brady, who is gonna probably the

81
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: MVP of the league because nobody wants to vote for

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the who probably has been the m v P. Really,

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Brady has the superior cast, no doubt, and

84
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: Roger says has been unflappable, unbelievable. Remember he missed the

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: game one of their losses. He was out because of

86
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: COVID and that whole COVID situation with the media, like

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: that didn't go over well. I personally, who cares. But

88
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: Brady gets the ball back, gotta go to any four

89
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: yards and bing bang boom. Next thing you know, Brashad

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Perryman only catch of the game across the middle Peace

91
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: the wheels of Brashad Perriman. Remember he was drafted because

92
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: was fast and it was a gut punch. I will

93
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: tell you this. I was going to drop my family

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: at fireworks. I have the game on my phone and

95
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of traffic and of course there's a

96
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: bit of a delay on these apps. So the Bucks

97
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: get the ball and all of a sudden, I started

98
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: to get a flurry a text. OMG Brady, exclamation, exclamation,

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: my brother who had Josh Allen and Fantasy and needed

100
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: like one more touchdown to get some separation to get

101
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. No, and I'm like, oh my gosh,

102
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: please don't tell me, Please don't tell me. And then

103
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: like you know, within ten seconds, Berry went over the

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: middle and then he just gone, and I just I

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: was kind of quiet, you know, And it was a

106
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: little depressing, folks. I was four and oh on the

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: day I was gonna be my first five and a

108
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: on the season. In the contest, I think I'm top

109
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: of eight, but what does that matter. There's four weeks left.

110
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I could win it. I'd probably need

111
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: to go put twenty and oh. But when you go

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: four and one or five and oh, you think you

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: could anythink anything is possible. And it's just it hurts

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: that the Bills couldn't get there. And I started to

115
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: look at the schedule and I was talking with Rob.

116
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: The Bills are seven and six. Last year they were incredible, okay,

117
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, MVP candidate offense unbelievable. They have now one

118
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: victory over a team that currently has a winning record,

119
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: that's it. And they beat the Chiefs when the Chiefs

120
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: were at or near rock bottom in a monsoon in

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I don't know. I'm starting to wonder. I

122
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: floated this out there into the uh Internet inner webs.

123
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: Were the Bills just fluky last year? Was it an outlier?

124
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Is this the real Josh Allen? A guy who's probably

125
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: closer to six than he is seventy Bill's defense that

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: can't stop a nosebleed, A Bill's offense that sputters and

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: doesn't even try to run the football, an offensive line

128
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: that let's a quarterback at Sex three times day Bowl

129
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: who was supposed to be in line for all the

130
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: good coaching jobs last year, Remember the Chargers were like,

131
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: oh they got Brian Dable plus Herbert equals Super Bowl.

132
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: And it's like Stable didn't get a job. And now

133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: you wonder, is that kind of thing in his head

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: easy thinking about his next Like what's going on that

135
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: you can have such a bad half and then explode

136
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Now there's seven and six, and guys,

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the rest of their schedule is manageable. But I gotta

138
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm not certain that ten and seven is gonna get

139
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: you in the playoffs in the a f C. They

140
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: play the Panthers next week's that's a win. Okay, Cam

141
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: Newton and and p J. Walker. They have mortal combination.

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean it might as well be Montana and Young

143
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: for Carolina. They lose at home to Atlanta. They're bad.

144
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: They're a bad football team right now. Buffalo will beat them.

145
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Then they go to the Patriots for the rematch. It

146
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: is the day after Christmas in Foxboro. Probably will be

147
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: a fun atmosphere. Then they host the Falcons Atlanta going

148
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: outdoors on January second in Buffalo. Lock it up for

149
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: Buffalo and then the Jets. So they have three games

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: at home against I don't dregs of the league, you

151
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: know top you know, twelve of the worst teams in

152
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: the league, three of the twelve worst, and then there

153
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: are other games of Patriots. So let's say they go

154
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: ten and seven. I can make a case that that's

155
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be good enough for the playoffs. I mean,

156
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: they lost to the Steelers, so they will lose that tiebreaker.

157
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: They lost to the Colts, so they would lose that tiebreaker. Folks, Uh,

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: there's a legit chance that Buffalo misses the playoffs. Rob G,

159
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: what are they do? How do you even recover from that?

160
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: A f C title game and we got next in

161
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the nf A f C East, we got next for

162
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: a decade, and then ten and seven, which is looking

163
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: like it's headed towards rob. I don't I mean, I

164
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: don't know. You can't really fire anybody. You just gave

165
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen all of the money, like they legitimately could

166
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs at tenant seven. I think it's I

167
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: think it would happen if Indie can get to tenant seven. Yeah,

168
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: with the way that Indie has been running the football

169
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: for the last two months, you have to assume that

170
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: even in games where they might be underdogs, haven't, like

171
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: at their schedule, that they're gonna be right in it

172
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: because it short is the game. When you have Jonathan Taylor,

173
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: you know whether or not Carson went is good enough

174
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: to win in a shootout, it doesn't matter because every

175
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: game is gonna be limited possessions when you're running football.

176
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: But that's a good point because I just did look,

177
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: and they play the Patriots this week. That'll be their season,

178
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: right because then it's the Cardinals. After that, they'll probably

179
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: the underdogs on the road, then Raiders Jags. But yeah,

180
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to the Patriots. Can they run

181
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor and everybody off of bye but rob

182
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: Patriots off of by two advantage right right now? Now?

183
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: You know it's funny is that you mentioned the Bills

184
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: only beating one team more five, which is the Chiefs.

185
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: And they were again, as you mentioned, they were at

186
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: their absolute lowest point of the season at that game.

187
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: But it gets worse if you really take a look

188
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: at who they've beaten. All right, So they beat the Chiefs,

189
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: they beat Washington, they beat Miami, and this so I believe,

190
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: was during the Miami six game losing streak. But here

191
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: the other ones that they beat. They beat Miami a

192
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: second time when Jacoby percent was quarterback. They beat the

193
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Saints when Trevor Simeon had come in to relieve. Uh,

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston and Alvin Camarry did not play in that game.

195
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: They beat the Jets with the great White hype Mike White,

196
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: and they beat the Texans when it was one of

197
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: Davis mills first starts. My my buddy in New York

198
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: told me Mike White told him a Christmas tree over

199
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: the weekend. That's what you're doing starting Jets. So I mean,

200
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: like it's one thing to say yeah, they've only been

201
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: one team, but then you look at who they actually

202
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: did beat, and even the bottom feeders they beat, they

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: beat them when they were already wounded. So there's something

204
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: to be said about You mentioned this before the season

205
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: even started. Was Josh Allen a flash in the pan

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: because if you if you look at the rest of

207
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: his career, he suddenly had this spike in accuracy that

208
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: nobody I don't think saw coming from him, even going

209
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: back to college or or high school even you know,

210
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: he has always been this mold of clay that had

211
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: all kinds of otherworldly talent. He just could never put

212
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: it together. And then he puts it together for one season.

213
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo I'm not gonna say they panicked, but they figure, hey,

214
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: we might as well pay this guy now before the

215
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: price keeps going up now that he's figured it out,

216
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: and then he kind of reverted reverted back to who's

217
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: always been. You know, I think that Josh Allen is

218
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: more like the guy we saw in the first half

219
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday then of the second half. Um, and so

220
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: if you're Buffalo, you gotta be a little concerned about

221
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: that man. Yeah, so he has his career high for

222
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: interceptions was twelve as a rookie. He had ten last

223
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: year and he's got eleven this year, so he will

224
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: top that folk show. Um, every stat across the board

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: for him is down from last year. And I don't

226
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: know what you'll say, like, oh, well that's obvious. Come on, Um,

227
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: of course, how could you duplicate that. Well, you gave

228
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: the guy what forty million a year. That's like, dude,

229
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: that's what we're paying you for. Um. And it's funny, Rob,

230
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: because I know he's the one who got paid while

231
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson did not. And Baker got

232
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: hurt on Sunday, he went in the medical tent, did

233
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: not actually miss any plays, I believe. I think Case

234
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Keenum warmed up, but I don't think Keenum took a snap.

235
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: And then Lamar Jackson is the big injury we'll talk about.

236
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: But like, it's just so crazy how these swings happen, right,

237
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: like the consistency I mean, Rob, I mean, it was

238
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: like Justin Herbert is the man, and then three weeks

239
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert is not very good all of a sudden,

240
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: and now Justin Herbert's back and I was like, well,

241
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Dude, where's last year's act? Josh Allen? And

242
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: we have that guy back? Um, I don't know, it's

243
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: just it's madness. I did look at the a f

244
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: C playoff picture, which is a complete shit show. So

245
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers are eight and five now, but the Cults

246
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: are seven and six, the Bills are seven and six,

247
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: the Browns are seven and six, the Bengals are seven

248
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: and six, the Broadcoes are seven and six, Steelers six

249
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: six and one. So there was a log jam of teams. Um.

250
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: And again the Bills have kind of a saw schedule,

251
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: but I don't know that now. I will add this

252
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: as we move on from Bill's box. Josh Allen rolled

253
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: up to the podium Sunday night in a walking boot,

254
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, just precautionary. Something suffered an injury somewhere along

255
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: the line on Sunday. Um, hopefully it's not serious. Obviously,

256
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: you know they can't have him take off the Carolina

257
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Panthers game. Um, but I would say outside of that game,

258
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: I think robbed. The biggest overall impression that I got

259
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: from anyone is a team We've talked about plenty here.

260
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: I've talked about them a lot on this one. The

261
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys folks legitimately have a defense. Now, Okay, I'm

262
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: gonna give you a stat that's that's mind blowing. Okay,

263
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: remember how Trayvon Diggs had all those interceptions, but in

264
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: reality he was getting torched. So all of a sudden,

265
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs has Michael Parsons, Randy Gregory, DeMarcus Lawrence all healthy,

266
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: and the kid Gallimore from Oklahoma who was a high

267
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: round pick last year, all of them healthy. The whole

268
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Washington d nine yards in the first half. Taylor Heinekey

269
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: and his backup he got knocked out of the game,

270
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: could do nothing. Okay, this Dallas defense is for real.

271
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: What did Trayvon Diggs do against uh scary Terry McLaurin. Oh,

272
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: it's funny you should ask. He shadowed him on seventeen

273
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: of eighteen pass routes McLaurin two targets, no catches. So

274
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: when you have a pass rush that's getting pressure on Heinekey,

275
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: as Dallas did Digs all of a sudden, much better

276
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: quarterback not getting lit up. They sacked Heineck four times.

277
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: They forced to fumble Michael Parsons. By the way, Oh

278
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: my gosh, he's an animal. Uh strip sack that was

279
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: recovered by somebody. Um, and let's see. Michael Parsons had

280
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: two sacks, a tackle for lost. DeMarcus Lawrence one sack,

281
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: two tackles for lost. Gallimore had a sack. Randy Gregory

282
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Do you guys forget At Nebraska, Randy Gregory was a stud.

283
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: They were like all the sky top ten talent, and

284
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: then he had you know, a couple of um shall

285
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: we say issues off the field, and it really hurt

286
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: his career badly. Fell in the draft. Jerry Jones said,

287
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: we're grabbing him anyway. Okay, Randy Gregory's twenty nine years old,

288
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: He's on his fourth NFL season, He missed all of

289
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: missed all of twenty nineteen, and now that he's healthy,

290
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, who do you double? I mean,

291
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: DeMarcus lords is an all pro and I again, you

292
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: don't overreact. It's freaking Taylor heineke a K A Matt

293
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Saras and a K a QB one. His Dallas defense

294
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem. When you can get

295
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: pressure with four and not half the blitz, you can

296
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: do some exotic stuff. Dan Quinn in that secondary. And

297
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: just remember the Super Bowl pressure with four Mahomes running

298
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: for his life. When they blitzed, it was game over.

299
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: And in the secondary they just mobbed up Tyreek and

300
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. This Dallas defense looked incredible against Washington. Washington

301
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: had nothing going Okay, I know that final score was

302
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: kind of close, only one score. Remember Dac had ann listen,

303
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Dad did not have a good game. Two picks should

304
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: have been a third. One of them was a pick six.

305
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: I was on the Cowboys significantly, so I was watching

306
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: that very closely. Probably Dak's worst game in the season. Um,

307
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: his his QPR was nine point nine. That's a little

308
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: higher than Taylor Heinekeith was four point nine. Uh. They

309
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: did not have Tony Pollard the run game, and I

310
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: had a little Corey Clement action. Big injury for Dallas though.

311
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Ty Ron Smith, the left tackle left the game. Then

312
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: Lall Collins, the right tackle got ejected for sticking up

313
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: for Dac. If you guys saw to play, Dak was

314
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: heading towards the sideline and somebody on the Washington defense

315
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: like decked him as he's going out of bounds, and

316
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: Lael Collins runs over and is ready to throw fists

317
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: with him, and Zeke Elliott gets in the guy's face too.

318
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I was impressed. I put it on my I G

319
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: stories like wait to stick up for your quarterback. I

320
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: like this. But Collins got ejected, so then Doak was

321
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: under pressure. That's when he threw the pick six without

322
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: his two tackles in the game. Um, but I'm just

323
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: this Dallas team, rob G. I know that the NFC

324
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: is loaded and the Green Bay Packers look awesome. We'll

325
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: see Arizona and the Rams tonight. By the way, best

326
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: Bed at the end of the podcast, it just something

327
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: about Dallas, man. I know that historically they've totally shot

328
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: the bed in the playoffs, and the rest of the

329
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: schedule is Giants, Washington, Cardinals, Eagles. Three of those teams

330
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: are five worse. I'm just saying there is a chance

331
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: that this Dallas they're not out of the out of

332
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: the woods for the top seat. We thought they were

333
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: with that with that losing streak, with that they lost

334
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: three or fourth. Listen, they're gonna have to be at

335
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Arizona obviously. It's probably gonna need the Rams to win tonight,

336
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: and somebody's gonna have to take down the Packers. Dallas

337
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: gets a by this team, rob and this is a

338
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: like bl Dallas team. I don't know if it's just

339
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, but they just look they I mean, they

340
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: look great. Well they're gonna have to look great because

341
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: it's funny. I watched a lot of that game too, um,

342
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: mostly because you know, I turned off the Raiders pretty early.

343
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: We gotta get the Raiders, so I had to watch

344
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: something else, so I was watching Dallas. But um, I

345
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: had a lot of thoughts in this game too, And

346
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: and it was less about the defense, who I agree

347
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: with you though. Their front four, now that they're healthy,

348
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: is is tremendous. But that offense is making me really

349
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: really concerned. If if I if I'm a Cowboys fan,

350
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: because I think that they have enough potential on both sides,

351
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: like that roster is pretty loaded where they can make

352
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: a deep run in the NFC if they get the

353
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: right matchups. But Dac ever since that huge game against

354
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta about a month ago, has just been bad. I mean,

355
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, five picks during that span, and and and

356
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: that's only saved because he played the Raiders defense on

357
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and lit them up. But every you know, he

358
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: has not been good. You mentioned that he should have

359
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: had three picks yesterday he had too. That pick six

360
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: was one of the worst passes I've seen. If you

361
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: watch that, like the camera just happened to be the

362
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: one that's like on like a string right behind behind. Yeah,

363
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: and you could out You're like, oh, wait, he's open. No, no,

364
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: he's not. And then Dax throws it. You're like, what

365
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: the hell? You could see that unfolding? That was? That

366
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: was painful. Yeah, and you know, Tony Pollard's got a

367
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: foot injury all of a sudden, and Zeke, the big

368
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: talking point coming into this game was, you know, hey,

369
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: do they go they're gonna Restie because you know he's

370
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: obviously not looking good. These numbers are gonna go down

371
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: after what we saw yesterday, because he didn't have a

372
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: good game yesterday either. But coming into Sunday, since week six,

373
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: he had the ninth worst amongst running backs uh expected

374
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: yards per carry. You know, so if the line blocks

375
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: for five what do you get in addition to that

376
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: five yards? You know, because anybody can get that five

377
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: yards right, So he was getting negative point to eight

378
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: yards expected above above expected. So he wasn't even getting

379
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: what was blocked, you know, Like that's how slow and

380
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: how um stiff he looked because of that knee injury.

381
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: So if they can't run the ball with Zeke and

382
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: now Tony Paul's hurt, Doc is in this funk that

383
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: I can't really explain because he has all these receivers now,

384
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: so there's no excuse for that. If they can't get

385
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: it together offensively, I don't think it's gonna matter how

386
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: good their defense plays, because they got to go through

387
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: Brady Rogers and when you talked about last week, the

388
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: quietest great team in football, Arizona Cardinals. So they need

389
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: to get it together offensively they're gonna make any kind

390
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: of noise of this season. Yeah, they did face Brady

391
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: in the opener. I mean that feels like forever ago. Uh,

392
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: and they lose by two. I'm looking at Dax numbers

393
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: five through fifty eight passes um four yards, three touchdowns,

394
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think back, do you remember do

395
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: they have a chance? Yeah? That was one where Dak

396
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: led them. I think it was a drive to take

397
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: the lead, and then Brady's like, no, I got this one.

398
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: But with a minute twenty two runt down the field

399
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: against him. Yeah. Um, yeah, that so that I mean

400
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: that feels like a long long time ago. I mean

401
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: that was Micah Parson's first career game. Uh, it doesn't

402
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: look like Randy Gray. Randy Gregory did play. I don't

403
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: know how much. Um, DeMarcus Lawrence was there, so they

404
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: had the defense. What is the first game? You know? Um? Interesting? Um,

405
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I think it's a bad time. You never

406
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: want to buy at the top of the market, but

407
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna have that take today. That Cowboys look super

408
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,880

Speaker 1: talk about the teams that do not look like Super

413
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: Bowl contenders, and let's start with the Vegas Raiders. Your boys.

414
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: They have been outscored rob g in two games against

415
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Wait, I'm gonna need a calculator here for

416
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: a sec. Let's see. Okay, here we toe. Does somebody

417
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: get fired after this? Get like Gus Bradley pay Man,

418
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: turn in your car, just don't show up at the Arena.

419
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: How does this happen? They fumble on the first play,

420
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: is return for a touchdown, and it was all downhill

421
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: from there. We talked about this, like I'm counting here

422
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: one Tyreek Hill, Kole Hardman, Darryl Williams, Byron Pringle all

423
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: catches for over twenty yards. Like they just don't get it,

424
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: they don't. I don't know, how are you rooting for

425
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: this team right now? Like what are you rooting for?

426
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: You know, screw it, we just want a high draft pick.

427
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: Is that where you're at? Kind of I mean, you know,

428
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: this season really went off the rails, and you have

429
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: John Cruden and his those emails, and and Henry Ruggs

430
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: killed a guy or a woman. You know, I don't

431
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: make light of that. It just that's what happened. You know,

432
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: Damon arn A threatening to to shoot an Instagram troll

433
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: all bad. But you know, you can't fire Gus Bradley

434
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: because their defense has been so bad for such a

435
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: long time that this season they're kind of middle of

436
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: the road, which is what you don't only hope that

437
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: they would be the problem is the middle of the

438
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: road because they run a very specific defense. They've run

439
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: that that Seattle Seahawks cover three. You know that the

440
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: legion of boom rat for all those years. Yeah. The

441
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: problem though, is the one defense that's been giving the

442
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Chief's problems all year long is that high to safety look.

443
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: And so if you look at at Patrick Mahomes game

444
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: log alright, going back to start of October, take out

445
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: the two Raider games where he has seven touchdowns, no picks,

446
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: all right, he has six touchdowns, eight interceptions. Going against

447
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: teams that are basically running the same defense all game plays.

448
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: Agains the Raiders they play something different. He's averaging like

449
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: three s and four touchdowns. And that's why you fire

450
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: the guy. Like if I'm the inter I mean the

451
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: inter of coach probably has zero cloud or ability to fire.

452
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: But it's like, dude, we know what has stopped them.

453
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what our guys are ready for. We

454
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: faced them twice. Now we have to adjust, adapt or die.

455
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: You've heard You've heard that, Rob, you know, I mean

456
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: you you used to be just in radio and now

457
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, these podcast things are exploding. So

458
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: you're now getting another job as also doing podcasts, and

459
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe a podcast network reaches out to you

460
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: and says, hey, man, radio is dead. We you can

461
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: do the ship from your house. You don't have to

462
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: go down a studio. We're gonna pay you to run

463
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: a podcast network and produce this stuff. And then all

464
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've adapted from being a producer and

465
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: radio to now being a podcast guy. And listen, I

466
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: moved out to l A to just do TV. And

467
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: what did that expand to? Oh, there's gambling that's popping.

468
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: Let's do a lot of gambling, not just TV, digital too,

469
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: And oh, yeah, you have a riad gun radio show.

470
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Why don't we do a podcast? Okay, Like you just

471
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: got to adapt. I don't know how the Raiders can

472
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: go into that defensive meeting room and be like, wait,

473
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: why did we do this when we know it doesn't work.

474
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm just if I'm a Raiders fan, I don't make

475
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: couldn't you make the same argument with the Chiefs offense?

476
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: Why do you continue to do this when you know

477
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. They're like, Oh, it's okay, we'll play

478
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders so they'll be the get right game. Well,

479
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know again, I haven't watched the Chief's

480
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: offense as closely against the non too high safeties. Have

481
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: they adjusted? I don't. I mean there's been games where

482
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: I guess they do a lot of checkdowns to Williams

483
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: and Edwards. Hilaire, Um, that's a that's a fair question.

484
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: I would I would have to watch them closer because

485
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is kind of limited right on the deep stuff.

486
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: And yeah, once they take that away, then it's just

487
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Kelsey and and and you know, for Travis Kelsey is great.

488
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't mean to take this. It's not a shot

489
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: at Travis Kelsey. But he's not the most athletic. You

490
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: could say he's no George Kittle. You could say, no,

491
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not Darren Waller, He's not you know,

492
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: even Evan Ingram athletically. But he he knows where to

493
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: find the soft spots in the zone. He has enough

494
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: wiggle to get you know, five or six yards after

495
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: catch every time because he can make the first guy miss.

496
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: But he's never gonna threaten you beyond like twelve yards,

497
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: like that's just not his game. He's deadly in these

498
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: short distances, these quick bursts, and once you erase the

499
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill over the top, Travis Kelsey is not beating you.

500
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Deep and these other guys, for all their speed, they

501
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: can't run routes, to say their lives unless they're going

502
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. That's why they got like Josh Gordon.

503
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, we got a guy opposite Tyreek Hillton, No,

504
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: you don't like I mean Josh Gordon. I know he

505
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: scored against Raiders. It's like a one yard touchdown pass.

506
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: But he's not opposite Hill like they You're right, they

507
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: are very exposed on the route running department, like hard

508
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: and you know it's just he ain't that dude Byron

509
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: Pringle not kind of a gimmick guy. Um, you know,

510
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: And you're right, Kelsey starting to look old. I mean,

511
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: you watch that game. I don't know how close you used,

512
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: but he's definitely not George Kittle. And I don't know

513
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: if anybody watched Niners Bengals. I thought that game was incredible,

514
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: especially the fourth. Now I was on the Niners, rob

515
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: They're up twenty to start the fourth. They it melts away,

516
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: George Kittle makes an unbelievable catch and they set up

517
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: the game winning field goal for Robbie Gould. Accept It

518
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: looked like me with my driver, you know, like you

519
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: hit it and it goes straight for like, I don't know,

520
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: two seconds, and then it just hooks badly out of

521
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: bounce and you're just like, damn it, I can't use

522
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: my driver the rest of the day. Robbie Gold's kick.

523
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: You you guys saw that he goes up. I instantly

524
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: put the hands halfway up before they can get fully up.

525
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: It's hooked out of play. So the Niers are blowing it.

526
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: And then the Bengals win the coin toss to go

527
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: from up twenties six to oh we got a game

528
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: winning kick opportunity to oh ship we lost the coin toss.

529
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. The Bengals are moving the football down

530
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: the field. They get the field goal. I mean, I'm

531
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: looking at like Gosh and Jimmy G My main men

532
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: and and Rob you know, secretly, definitely a top three

533
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: storyline this year for me has been Kyle Shanahan, Jimmy G.

534
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: Train Lance Jimmy G delivered again in overtime. Now, obviously

535
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot of it was to Kittle. Kittle was so

536
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: freaking dominant. If you guys haven't seen to just queue

537
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: up YouTube this morning. You want to see domination. You

538
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: want to watch someone just wreck. George Kittle thirteen catches

539
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: on fifteen targets, Buck fifty one and a and a tuddy.

540
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: He was just awesome. There was a short I think

541
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: it was like third and five. Everybody in the stadium's yelling, Duck,

542
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: double Kittle, double Kittle. Kill does a quick move in

543
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: the middle, and Garoppolo puts in the perfect spot, seven

544
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: yard pick up, first down, and then they scored on

545
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: the next play. Uh, Rob, I love me a good

546
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy. Good four numbers. People are gonna download when

547
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: they hear quarterback controversy. And I'm telling you right now,

548
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: this Niners team, Rob, Jimmy G's gonna get them to

549
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's happening. They're only seven and six, but

550
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: they are, you know, like teams starting to get hot,

551
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are getting hot. After that mid season struggles,

552
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: the Niners had lost four in a row. Early in

553
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: the season, they were two and four. I was looking bleak.

554
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: They have won four or five. They beat the Bengals,

555
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings, and the Rams. During that stretch. They close

556
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: out Falcons, Titans, Texans. Oh, that should be three straight wins,

557
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: and then the Rams. We don't know if the Rams

558
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be sitting people. I don't think the Titans

559
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: are very good. I think the four nine has been

560
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: favorite on the road, and that one, Um shit, it's

561
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: on a Thursday after the Falcon so it's on a

562
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: short week travel. Oh that's not ideal, damn it. Anyways,

563
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I think tennants seven gets you to the playoffs in

564
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: the NFC and Rob, I'm telling you if Jimmy how

565
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: many rounds does Jimmy G need to win before forty

566
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: Niners fans are like, you know, we're gonna have to

567
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: stick with this guy or is that not even an option?

568
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Because every time I watched Jimmy G. I come away like,

569
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: I like this guy. Man. I know he's not gonna

570
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: wow you with an amazing arm. He's not. He's not

571
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Okay, we know that that is not the

572
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: breaking news. Jimmy G is not Tom Brady. He's not automatic.

573
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: You don't have utmost confidence and Jimmy G. Drop him back.

574
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: He did take five sacks. I was extremely frustrated on

575
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: several of them, but damn he just for some reason

576
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: he's able to deliver. Rob and earlier laughing, and I'm

577
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: sure a lot of people are like, he's got a

578
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: good team. Bullshit. The forty Niners stink. Their secondary is

579
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: so beat up. Uh Deebo Samuel had one catch for

580
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: twenty two yards coming off the injury. They're down to

581
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: I think running act number three in Jeff Wilson Um

582
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: Jowan Jennings. Every time he catches the ball, it's nearly

583
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: a heart attack happening because he his bulk security is terrible.

584
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Robbie Gould, I don't know Rob. I like

585
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. I love them. I love and also have

586
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: money on the Niners to win the Super Bowl, which

587
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: seems like it's not happening. But nevertheless, Rob Niners. Let

588
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: me just say this is a message for all of

589
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: our female listeners out there. Find yourself a man who

590
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: loves you the way Jason McIntire loves Jimmy g I incredible.

591
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: But you know, I thought that it would have been

592
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: crazy before the season to say this, But let me

593
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: say this that if they win one playoff game, I

594
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if he's back under center next season.

595
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: And it says less to do with him and more

596
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: to do with what we've seen from Trey Lands. This season,

597
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: Trey Lands is clearly not ready to play NFL meaningful,

598
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: meaningful games in the NFL. Yeah, well, is this Alex

599
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: Smith Patrick Mahomes part du because if you remember, Alex

600
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Smith got to the playoffs, they take that lead. I

601
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: think it was like nineteen nothing over was Tennessee. I

602
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe Buffalo, somebody. It was Tennessee with the

603
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: Mariota game. Yes, there you go, and Alex Smith blows

604
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: it and the next season, you know, they move on

605
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: and dump him. I don't know if he blew it.

606
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't know if Alex Smith blew the game.

607
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: But they lose. He lost, he was the losing quarterback.

608
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: Um And the next season they go to Mahomes and

609
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: the rest is history. Maybe that's the case with Lance

610
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: and but the difference is everybody who was around that

611
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: team at that point all said, oh, this guy, my

612
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Homes a special, Like, we're not going to throw him

613
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: in because he doesn't know that. During the season, Yeah,

614
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: when he was can you can go back and look

615
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: and they say, yeah, this guy's got tons of talent,

616
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: you know. But the difference is that we're we're in

617
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: a position where we can win now or we can't

618
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: afford to deal with the growing pains. They're gonna come

619
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: from a guy like that, you know, and and from

620
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: the Niners beat writers that I follow on social media.

621
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 1: I'm not getting anything like that about Trey Lands. They

622
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: there's there's something we think he's regressed since training cap

623
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Yeah, it's funny. I remember people are like, hey, uh,

624
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: you know he's coming in in the red zone to

625
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: make plays. Like they're not even doing that anymore now?

626
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: Are they saving those for the playoffs? Like? How do

627
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: you go from using him in the red zone early

628
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: to we're not going to use him at all? Is

629
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: he even active? I don't know. I assume he's a

630
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: backup with the way he's been running the football. Don't

631
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: be surprised if Deebo Samuel gets those wildcat quarterbacks? Is

632
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: my guy? Uh? In fantasy um. By the way, Joe

633
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Burrow is is really good. I like to watch him.

634
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: He's fun. I just I wish you were on. I

635
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: bet against him a lot and I seem to win

636
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: against him a lot. Um at any rate you want

637
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: to go through anything else, I'm looking at the Jets.

638
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: They get smoked. Alvin Kamarabaut is interesting. Uh, they could

639
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: be some kind of spoiler. Maybe New Orleans with the

640
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: defense Camara is a game changer because you don't need

641
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks throwing a ton right Tayson Mills through like

642
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: what twenty passes something like that. It's all running and

643
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: defense and they have the nine. They have the Bucks

644
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: next in a rematch. That don't be interesting. Um, let's

645
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: see the other ones. Uh. We we didn't touch on

646
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: Brown's Ravens. Listen, that was a tough non cover for Cleveland. Three.

647
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: If you got it late in the week, you got three.

648
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: If you got it early in the week, there was

649
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: one and a half, two, two and a half. Two

650
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: and a half did not get you there. Tough one. Now,

651
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: the real reason it is tough is cause Lamar Jackson

652
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: got hurt and you're like, oh, Lamar's down and the

653
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: Browns are winning. That's a wrap. And then this kid

654
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: Huntley comes out of It's not Brett Huntley, the u

655
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: c l A guy, it's what Tyrone Huntley? What's his name?

656
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: Rob on the spot, I don't even to know it's

657
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: something Huntley it is. I think he's from Utah If

658
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: I remember that, correct, I think I remember that. I

659
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: don't know if I remember his first name off hand.

660
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: So so this guy basically is Lamar Jackson, light and

661
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: makes a ton of wild and crazy plays and just delivered.

662
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable, shocking stuff from hunt Tyler Huntley from Utah.

663
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley from Utah, well done, You're a packed twelve guy.

664
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I knew he come through. I just I don't. I

665
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell the rounds problem was. You

666
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: can't close that out up a lot against Huntley. Now

667
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: this is an interesting subplot. So Lamar destroyed and I

668
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: mean just killed Cleveland last year two matchups and Lamar Jackson,

669
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: remember the second one was where he had the runs

670
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter or whatever and had to leave

671
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: the game and then he came back or it was

672
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: ha ha Lamar Jackson shood his pants or whatever. There

673
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: were those jokes flying, But the reality is he absolutely

674
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: destroyed Cleveland last season two meetings. Let me call it

675
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: the numbers here. I remember the forty two game was

676
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: late in the season and he rushed for a hundred

677
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: twenty four yards and two scores. And in the earlier meeting,

678
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: the season opener, he had three touchdown passes um and

679
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: he basically just killed him in both games. So what

680
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: did the Browns do? They go out and draft this kid.

681
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: His initials are jokay, um, Jeremiah, oh, could whatever is

682
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: last time. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna putcher the guy's

683
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: last name. But they draft Jock the fast kid out

684
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame. He's a fast linebacker and on a

685
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: pass rush against Lamar, remember most people miss Lamar, so OWUSU.

686
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: Core Ama gets in there and drills Lamar. I don't

687
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: want to say he hit him low, but got him

688
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: around the ankles and Lamar is carded off and he

689
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: didn't return. They draft the guy specifically to shadow Lamar,

690
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: spy him, whatever you want to call it. And he

691
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: did his job. I mean it was just like damn

692
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: and he's got They're hyping this guy up. He's a

693
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: really fast linebacker. He moves like a safety, but he's

694
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: a linebacker. And that's a great get for the Browns.

695
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: It's a great win. Uh. Baker Mayfield not particularly sharp again.

696
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: One interception another one that was dropped. Doesn't really scare

697
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: you down the field, I don't. I don't know, man,

698
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: Rob Before we get to the best bet for Rams Carls.

699
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: I just want to ask you, what are you doing

700
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: with the Baker and Lamar extensions because they both want

701
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: to get paid big time. That's obvious paying Lamar, but

702
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: what though he's not Josh Allen, he gets hurt. Yeah, yeah,

703
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: but he deserves the Josh Allen contract because he's done

704
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: it over a longer period of time, So you're paying

705
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: for what he has done. Their whole team is built

706
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: around Lamar Jackson. They they don't have great receivers, and

707
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: I know they got talent, but they're not established yet.

708
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: You know that there Bateman looked pretty a strong running

709
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: game that that. You know, even though they're down a

710
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of guys right now, it's built off of Lamar

711
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: Jackson's ability to move. The defense plays a certain way

712
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: because they're expecting games to be short because a lot

713
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: of running. They're not. They're not built to play and shootouts.

714
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: So Baltimore backed themselves into a corner. They need to

715
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: to pay him because if they don't have him, then

716
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: all these receivers, these four blocking tight ends and Mark

717
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: Andrews is great, they don't make any much in much sense.

718
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: If you have a different guy like Derek Carr playing

719
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: quarterback for you. You know you you you, you build

720
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: your offense, your whole team in such a way. You

721
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: gotta pay him. They have no choice. Baker hit him,

722
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: you go let go a Baker today. It wouldn't matter.

723
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's cold blood. And I do want to remind people. Yes, Uh,

724
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is playing without his left tackle who's out

725
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: for the season, and his right tackle. Uh. They had

726
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: to resort to a backup this past week. And I

727
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: think DeVante Freeman was on like a sofa in September

728
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: before they had to pick him up off the scrap heat.

729
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: So they're on like their fourth running back and Bateman

730
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: the rookie again. He had a really good game, seven

731
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: for one oh three. He's still getting worked in um.

732
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: So Like, I don't know, maybe I'm being unfair to

733
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: Lamar saying I don't know that I pay him, But

734
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: are you? Are you giving him more money than dak Uh?

735
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 1: Probably right around the same. And what all that matters?

736
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: The guarantee money the years, That doesn't matter whatever the guarantee.

737
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: But this is the toughest part, Rob, Like, if you

738
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: don't want to pay him, what's the market for Lamar Jackson.

739
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: Are a lot of people clamoring to get a running

740
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: quarterback because you also have to like build a new

741
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: entire offense. You can't just say, hey, we are they

742
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: Houston Texas. We're just gonna grab Lamar Jackson and run

743
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: what we've been running. You have to basically get a

744
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: new O C that fits what he does. Um, I

745
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know that it's that easy. I mean, Lamar Jackson's

746
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: very good in the regular season. But and yes, I

747
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: get that there's teams that are nowhere near the playoffs Detroit, Houston, Carolina,

748
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: like they would all kill for Lamar and he's sell

749
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: He's self sick as too, right, would you agree with

750
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: that he's popular? So I'm not selling, I'm short. I'm

751
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: just saying, like, I don't think it's a slam dunk. Like, Oh,

752
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: if Lamar hits the market, everybody wants it. Listen, Aaron

753
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: Rodgers hits the market, everybody wants him. Russell Wilson hits

754
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: the market, everybody wants it. Shawn Watson hits the market,

755
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: everybody wants him. Like, I don't think Lamar's in that

756
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: class yet. But then again, I didn't think Doc would

00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: Straight Fire, but I want to get down on some

773
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: Cardinals rams action. I kind of you listen, guys, you

774
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: know if you've been listening to pot all season. I

775
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: have liked the Cardinals from the jump. Now like an

776
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: ass clown, I have bet against them multiple times. Bad,

777
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: bad mistakes, just not smart Jason. I'm going against the

778
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals tonight, Folks, I don't know, like a couple of

779
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: things are leading me to this number One. Everybody wants

780
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: to point to the last meeting. Oh geez, Cardinals killed him.

781
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: It wasn't even really close. Well, yes, the Cardinals did lose,

782
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: but did you know McVeigh had previously owned Arizona won

783
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: seven straight against them, and then coming into this one,

784
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: everybody had the Rams, right, I mean, everybody's like, oh, yeah,

785
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: Ram's got this. Uh Cardinals and Rams are favored by

786
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: four at home, so you know, they were just coming

787
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: off the win over Tampa Bay, which kind of you

788
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: expected the Rams a little bit of a come down

789
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: from defeating the Super Bowl champs. But then if you

790
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: actually watched the game, and I did watch it closely,

791
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: this was a close When first quarter, second quarter happens,

792
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Arizona scores, and then and it's Arizona's They had two

793
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: long drives on this Rams defense, which has been leaky

794
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: at times. Right after it was four ten, Sony Michelle

795
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: first play fumble, Arizona takes over at the Rams bing

796
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: bang boom, touchdown, and and that kind of changed everything.

797
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: And you know, the Rams really never recovered they were

798
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: They gave up a feld goal to start the second half.

799
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: There down two touchdowns, they miss a field goal, Arizona touchdown,

800
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: and that was like ball game. I was like, wow,

801
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: it was clear the Rams. Or listen, the Rams are

802
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: a good team. We know this. They're Super Bowl contenders

803
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: for a reason. And they put up four hundred yards

804
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: of offense. Uh. Not all of it was garbage time,

805
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: by the way, but when you turn the ball over twice.

806
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: Cardinals had no turnovers, and when you give up two

807
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: d plus rushing yards uh to James Conner and company,

808
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to stop them. Now, this

809
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: is a much better spot for the Rams. Arizona's coming

810
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: in hot and I did bet the Rams getting two

811
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 1: and a half. I don't think everybody else is gonna

812
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: like that. A lot of people will love Arizona. By

813
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: the way, if you're remember the contest, I talked about

814
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: how everybody was picking. You know, when the contest is

815
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 1: basically squares, and the most picked team was Washington, loss

816
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: did not cover. Second most was Buffalo, loss did not cover,

817
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: third most Arizona, fourth most Cincinnati, and fifth was Baltimore,

818
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: which got super lucky at the end. I know you

819
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: could say Buffalo got unlucky Jason, you're on Buffalo blah

820
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: blah blah. Bottom line is you want to avoid the

821
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: most picked. Those are the consensus plays. Those are the

822
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: picks that everybody in their mom has. I like the

823
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: rams in this spot. I don't like the Henderson situation.

824
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious coming down with the COVID list. He joined

825
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: it Saturday. So now it's the Sony Michelle show. And

826
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, you guys, come on, Sony Michelle, there's a

827
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: reason the Patriots got rid of them. Come on, he's

828
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: just he's not a great running back. I don't know

829
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: where they go for the run game. Um, but you know,

830
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 1: we'll see about Andrew Whitworthy's supposed to start at left tackle.

831
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: Did not practice on Saturday. You know, O'Dell didn't practice,

832
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald didn't. It could just be a rest thing,

833
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, veterans, what worth is forty and he's starting

834
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: a game tonight. Uh, not something you see all the time.

835
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: Arizona also very healthy. But Buddha Baker, Um, you know,

836
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. He he did not practice, had

837
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: a big play last week. Overall, I listen. I like

838
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Arizona long term. I think there's a sneaky team to

839
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Um, well, not that sneaky. They

840
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: have the best record in the NFC. Ha ha. But

841
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm on Arizona here, and I'm sorry. I'm I'm on

842
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: the Rams here getting two and a half against Arizona. Um,

843
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good one. And um, you guys,

844
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: enjoy the game, enjoy the gambling. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
