Hi everybody, So what we're gonna do 9 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: with the volume on Sundays throughout the NFL season is 10 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: I will give you a twelve to a fifteen minute 11 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: sort of wrap on the early window and the afternoon window. 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: And I want to start with Green Bay in Minnesota. 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: That was my strongest opinion going into the weekend. It 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: was my strongest offseason opinion that I thought the Vikings 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: would win the division, they would be the most improved 16 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: team in the league, and that Kirk Cousins simply needed 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: the organization to pivot to an offensive coach. That Mike 18 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: Zimmer is a good coach, but he's rigid, he's older, 19 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: he can be crusty, he can be abrasive, and Kirk 20 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Cousins isn't the kind of guy or a personality that 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: can overcome that. So here comes Kevin O'Connell from sort 22 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: of the Sean McVay coaching tree. Not a yeller, not 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: a screamer. While Kirk Cousins look great today, there are 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: some athletes that like hard coaching. You know, Brady doesn't 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: mind barking or being barked at. Others are different. And 26 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: I always felt with Kirk Cousins he's been doubted his 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: entire career, and so he needs some support. I feel 28 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: the same way with Russell Wilson. His college coach benched him. 29 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: He had to transfer to Wisconsin. He goes to Seattle, 30 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: gets no credit. It's Marshawn Lynch, it's Pete Carroll, it's 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: the defense. He needs an offensive coach. Russell Wilson needs support, 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin needs support. And I think certain personalities at 33 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Some guys are agitators, like Baker Mayfield. 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: Some guys are you know, wildly confident, Big Ben other guys. 35 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: He got to manage a little bit. And so I 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: think Minnesota's the better team than Green Bay this year. 37 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: I have real questions about the Packers. Multiple players on 38 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: the offensive line coming off acl tears. Outside of corner back, 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota's got an argument they're better than green 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: Bay across the board. Wide receiver, offensive line, certainly have 41 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: a star running back in Dalvin Cook. Tight end, they're 42 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: as good, they're not as good. Errands much better than 43 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, and the Packer corners are great. But this 44 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: was my big prediction that Minnesota just needed an offensive 45 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: leaning coach. With all these weapons they've drafted, I think 46 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: very well on the offensive side, and I think you 47 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: saw what I kind of thought we would see from 48 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: the Packers that Aaron has a history of struggling to 49 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: trust young players, trust people in general, the media, our government, 50 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: the vaccine. He struggles with trust issues his family. It's 51 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: well documented, and so it's going to take him time. 52 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: It took him a long time to sort of develop 53 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: a relationship with multiple receivers in his career. So and 54 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: then when you have a receiver like Christian Watson dropped 55 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: that big throw early in the eye roll start, the 56 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: body language starts, it just felt like, very early in 57 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: this game it was going to be Minnesota's. I do 58 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: think green Bay will rebound. Aaron is the best quarterback 59 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: in the division. Again, it's a really nice defense, especially 60 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: upfront and at corner. So you know, my kind of 61 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: takeaway in Green Bay is they're gonna win nine ten games, 62 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: but they do not have the firepower to come back 63 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: from big deficits. You who saw that this afternoon, And frankly, 64 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: I thought Minnesota pushed him around in the fourth quarter 65 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: when they needed rushing yards and eating the clock. They did. 66 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: So there's really no proof now that Matt Lafleur is 67 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: an elite coach. He inherited everybody except well, he inherited 68 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, although I do think he gets credit for 69 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: developing a running game. But I'm not going to give 70 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: him credit for Aaron Rodgers. I'm not going to give 71 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: him credit for the defensive elevation the last couple of years. 72 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: That's the front office from the defensive coaches. I'm not 73 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: sold on Matt Lafleur in big games. I've seen him 74 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: against Brady and Lows and the Niners and Kyle Shanahan 75 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: and Lows. Against the Vikings, he struggled, So I'm not 76 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: convinced this is an elite coach or an elite roster. 77 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: And the Vikings were my pick of the weekend, my 78 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: pick to win the NFC North, and I thought they 79 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: looked very impressive. I think they're going to be a 80 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: thirteen or a fourteen win team. They had more close 81 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: losses than anybody in the NFL last year, and I 82 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: thought they hammered Green Bay more physical, better defense, ran 83 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: the ball more consistently. Everything you want from the Vikings. 84 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: Another game I want to talk about. It was really ugly. 85 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: It was San Francisco and that mess in Chicago against 86 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: the Bears. Now, both Trey Lance and Justin Fields are 87 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: not beautiful artistic throwers of the football, but I will 88 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: say this for Justin Fields. Justin Fields avoided. Even though 89 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: that offensive line for the Bears is bottom five, bottom 90 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: eight in the league, I thought Justin Fields did a 91 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: good job to mostly avoid punishment, to make something out 92 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: of virtually nothing. I think those are really nice football, 93 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: but it's a still work in progress. Defensive head coach, 94 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: one legit receiver, not a ton of depth, but I thought, 95 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: considering the conditions and his offensive line mostly being man 96 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: handled by the forty nine ers front, I thought that 97 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: was a really strong debut. Again, they didn't ask him 98 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: to do a ton Matt Eberflus is going to be 99 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: a conservative guy for this year. He should be. They 100 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: have to go big in free agency. In the draft. 101 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: They got to get two more receivers. They got to 102 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: rebuild the offensive line interior and at tackle. But I thought, 103 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: considering the defense, the lack of protection, and the weather, 104 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: you'd have to feel great if you're the Chicago Bears. Now, 105 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: how do you feel if you're the forty nine Ers. Well, 106 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: first of all, penalties did in. Trey Lance made some 107 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: throws and that's not the issue. Trey Lance can make throws. 108 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is physical, but unlike justin fields, he did 109 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: not avoid the physical punishment. He got the crap beat 110 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: out of him. With a better offensive line. A couple 111 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: of times he looked like he wanted to dole out punishment. 112 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: He'll learn very quickly. You can't last in a November 113 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: doing that. Again. I think he's kind of limited as 114 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: a thrower. George Kittle didn't play. It didn't help. The 115 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: weather was atrocious. Penalties were a major issue for the 116 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, But let's be honest about it. In 117 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: both instances, you don't have veteran quarterbacks. Not a lot 118 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: of NFL reps, and I think in both instances you 119 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: have coaches head coaches that don't quite trust their quarterbacks. 120 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: Yet the difference to me, though with less support, I 121 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: thought Justin Fields had some really really dynamic moments with 122 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: Trey Lance a couple of nice throws, but with significantly 123 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: better schemes, better talent, better personnel. I thought, what he 124 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: did a lot of people could have done. He has 125 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: got to get out of this punishing running style. I 126 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: know Garoppolo's a great bullpen to go to. Trey Lance 127 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: ran into people. You've got to avoid that stuff.

Listen, they're gonna go with Mitch 180 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: Rubisky in Pittsburgh, and they're going to go with him 181 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: for a while. But I think what you saw in 182 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: this game and the Steelers one, so they feel great 183 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: about it, right, But what you saw in this game 184 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: is the fear that the Bengals turn the ball over 185 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: five times. The Steelers did not turn it over in 186 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: regulation and we went over time. Is that What you 187 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: have to do with Mitch Trubisky is what Matt Naggie 188 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: in Chicago did with them. You have to develop he's 189 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: well liked, he's well liked teammates like you have to 190 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: develop a nice game plan and he can execute with 191 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: his limitations. Trubisky can execute a game plan, but then 192 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: off script, when the twelve to fifteen plays that are 193 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: either memorized or scripted run out, it's a totally limited offense. 194 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: And so now now t J. Watt is injured, testing 195 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: done tonight results probably tomorrow. What if he's out six weeks. 196 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: It's not the same defense. So Trubisky can get your lead, 197 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Trubisky can play well, but in the second half get 198 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: different defenses, different alignments, different challenges. And you really saw 199 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Trubisky has not just a low ceiling, but a really 200 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: really low ceiling, and you could see the Steelers coaching 201 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: to it. They were not going to let him make 202 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: any big throws. So is Kenny Pickett a higher ceiling guy. Absolutely. 203 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't think you learn a lot on the bench, 204 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: especially when you've been a four year college starter in 205 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: the same stadium the Steelers play in. But I thought 206 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: it was a great example that Joe Burrow had his 207 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: worst game as a pro and almost won an overtime 208 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: five turnovers to none, Cincinnati almost pulled it out. That 209 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: is the issue. So it's some point, Pittsburgh's not fooling anybody. Okay, 210 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: you got to rip the band aid off at some point, 211 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: and because what you're going to see with Pittsburgh this 212 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: is it. This is how their games are going to look. 213 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: They're going to bring some packages into Trubisky, get a lead, 214 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: hope to cling to it. Well, most teams are not 215 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: going to turn the ball over five times. And now 216 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: that t. J. Watt will be out for an extended 217 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: period of time, it's not the same relentless Steelers defense. 218 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: So everybody feels great in Pittsburgh today. But what you 219 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: saw is what everybody, myself included told you would happened 220 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: in the media. Really low ceiling coaches. Don't trust Rubisky. 221 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: You hope to get a lead, cling onto it. You 222 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: got lucky in week one because if Burrow throws one 223 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: less interception, Cincinnati probably has four turnovers and wins the game. 224 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: That would be an abject disaster. One more thought. So, generally, 225 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: as brilliant as an Elon Muskiz or a Jeff Bezos, 226 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: ideas are fairly useless if you don't have the people 227 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: to take the idea and organize it and land it. 228 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: Ideas are a diamond dozen. So when we fall in 229 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: love with coaches and their geniuses, and they're brilliant, Kyle 230 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: Shanahan's as smart and offensive coach not named Andy Reid 231 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL, his a losing record without Jimmy Garoppolo. 232 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to land the plane. Somebody's got to land 233 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: the throws right. So we want to give Belichick all 234 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: this credit for being a genius. He has turned into 235 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: Greg Popovitch. He has so bought into his culture and 236 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: belief system that the game is now quickly pivoting away 237 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: from what Bills capable of doing, which is communicating on 238 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: a regular basis with a quarterback, having an offensive sensibility, 239 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: the ability to draft wide receiver talent. I watched the 240 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: Patriot Dolphin game on one of my TV's. It was painful. 241 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: They had a deep ball late of desperation, ball up 242 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: a sideline late that was completed. But this idea that 243 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: you can just a coach as a coach is absolutely 244 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: utterly ridiculous. You believe that you can go into games 245 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: with a Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan and Andy Reid put 246 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator calling the place and a coach is 247 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: a coach that is so arrogant. And that's the kind 248 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: of arrogance you get when somebody has been successful and 249 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: is enriched financially that Popovich has done this. The Spurs 250 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: have the lowest predicted windtoll in the NBA next year, 251 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: couldn't get along with the Rose and didn't fit with 252 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: the Rose and couldn't get along with Kauai Janta Murray. 253 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: They get rid of he's got no players. At some 254 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: point you have to be flexible. This is Belichick. They 255 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: are painful. That is as bad as any offense in 256 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: the National Football League. They are slow, they are predictable. 257 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: They looked at times disorganized. The offensive lines not good. 258 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: So again we're not experts. I couldn't coach a football team, 259 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: but I can see inefficiency, I can see bad. The 260 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: Patriots are exactly lee what everybody in the media predicted. 261 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is not. Look at think how good Josh 262 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: Allen is and he needed coaching from Brian Dable. Well, 263 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: mac Jones isn't close. So if Josh Allen needed support, 264 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: if Derek carrs talented but he needs support, you know, 265 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: you see these guys, talented guys, You're not going to 266 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: give mac Jones a legitimate offensive coordinator. It just smacks 267 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: of institutional arrogance. And I'll say it again, It's one 268 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: thing to struggle, it's another to be bad. It's another 269 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: to be boring. The Patriots are a bad watch and 270 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft is a businessman. I do not think it's crazy. 271 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: If the Patriots goes six and eleven or seven and ten, 272 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: the Kraft goes into his office at the end of 273 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: the year, makes him a consultant. Bill moves down to Jupiter, 274 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: Florida with his girlfriend, goes golfs, hang out like Jimmy 275 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: Johnson on a boat. Maybe there's some television. But they're 276 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: not just bad, they're slow, they're unwatchable and frankly, as 277 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: I watched that game, it was embarrassing. This young offensive 278 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: coach for the Miami Dolphins, and Tua toyed with him, 279 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,239 Speaker 1: a rookie head coach, and Tua toyed with Belichick. All right, 280 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: great Sunday. So the Giants one, the Commander's one, the 281 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: Eagles one. Dallas should be in last place by the 282 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: time you watch this. I mean, they're going to be 283 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: there all year. So way to go Giants. How about that? 284 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: The New York Giants not pretty? It was a crazy 285 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: opening weekend. My other takeaway the pass rushers are way 286 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: ahead of the offensive lines at this point. That was 287 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: incredibly obvious in many of the games I watched. Hope 288 00:17:50,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: you had a great Sunday.
