The 11 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: Jets are certainly part of that, which we'll get to 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: a little later. It extends beyond the your football team. Yeah, 13 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: eat a giant butt two thousand sixteen smellulator. That's where 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm coming. And I don't think I'm alone. Now some 15 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: some you know, great people have passed away. You know 16 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: the world has been a little crazy. It's been good 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: for the old juser though, the old that's what I 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: can end around. The end Around started this year as 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: its own um as its own page NFL dot com 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: slash end around. That's big grateful for the good things 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: in life. Greg. I can't get my head. I don't know, 22 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: if you're talking about world events and the passing a 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: multiple artists, or if you're talking personally, is you're typically 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: a cheerful person. This is quite an unexpected of negative. 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Hasn't had much starting to weigh on me the weight 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: of the world. But you know what, I'm just gonna 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: push through it. This is the forum to, you know, 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: to break it down, especially the first couple of minutes 29 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: of what is otherwise a football podcast. Yeah, it's it's true. 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: It's true. So maybe I'll really dig deep a little 31 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: later in the show. But we got a lot to 32 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: get to today. UM. As two thousand and sixteen mercifully 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: draws to a close, It's okay. UH.

UH lead on 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: the line. We have not heard from our friend Connor 42 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: or so we're gonna play one of our favorite exercises. 43 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: D Connor, in a drunken state, told me a couple 44 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: of weeks ago that he really had something to get 45 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: off his chest was unable to do it last week's 46 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: scheduled conflict. So um that drunken Thanksgiving night text. Now 47 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out what that's all about. All right, 48 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that too. See he's getting better. 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: And finally we will play game called Hey, do you 50 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: want to be in my shoes? No, thank you, I 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: would rather be in some others there said both of 52 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: the that little you know many play one act play 53 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: was part of the title. Is what you're saying. It's 54 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: not just the Dan part is Mark's party. That's the 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: name of the segment. Get up to speed Mark. Greg's 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: a little bit behind because he stepped out of our 57 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: planning meeting today to go film a live hit on 58 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: NFL network. I was just trying to clarify the bit 59 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: for all the listeners NFL Networks. Greg Rosenthal had a hit, 60 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: he had a he had a slink out. Now you 61 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: too said wow for one site, someone other I thought myself, 62 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: I thought new Money would recognize New Money. But I 63 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: would normally defend Greg in this situation, but the facts 64 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: are that he didn't know the name of the segment 65 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: because of his star turn on NFL. Now, literally, you 66 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: were not involved with this planning, but I believe that 67 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: you will step up even with your You don't have 68 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: a lot of time, obviously, because the meeting was much 69 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: later than it ever is. You were really stretched thin 70 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: this morning, in this afternoon because of your NFL network. 71 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to add to your the year that 72 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: you're having, but I would say that probably what you 73 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: should have done is at that point you were sort 74 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: of operating a showrunner. You should have told Greg's assistant 75 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: about what the show was. You know, you're right, all right, 76 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: let's start with some Monday night football two thou sixteen. 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: This is the worst. I can't wait till two thousand seventy. 78 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: Must be better or else. At MetLife Stadium, the New 79 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: York Jets entered three and eight, the Indianapolis Colts entered 80 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: five and six, needing the game in a big way, 81 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: and the Cults delivered an effort that would expect from 82 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: a team that needed to win. The Jets delivered an 83 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: effort from a team that looks like it's already checked 84 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: out for the season. Play action again, great protection, Andrew 85 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: is gonna step up and throw clock for a touchdown 86 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: by Dwayne Allen two in a game, a twenty one 87 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: yard pass. He's got two t D receptions seventeen on 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: his career and four this year. And the crowd is 89 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: really on the Jets. Thirteen nothing Colts and we still 90 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: have seven forty five to go on the first quarter 91 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: final score forty one to ten. The Colts handed to 92 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: the Jets on national television, really embarrassed the franchise. Andelock 93 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: ended up throwing four touchdowns of the game, no interceptions, 94 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: sacked just once. Dwayne Allen had three of those four 95 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: touchdown receptions. So everything the Colts um did, and let's 96 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: start with the Colts, Chris Westling, everything that the Colts 97 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: did on offense worked, Everything on defense worked. This was 98 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: the perfect cults for Foremans, right. I don't think anyone 99 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: on this podcast is going to take the position that 100 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: the Colts are a good NFL team outside of the 101 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: a f C South, keeping that in perspective, but they're 102 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: getting better throughout the season. We have the salur taste 103 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: in our mouths from September when their entire defenseeing to 104 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: be banged up. I believe their four and one in 105 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: their last five games with Andrew Luck as the starting quarterback. 106 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: They're getting better throughout the season, and they're a much 107 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: better team than the New York Jets. Yeah, let's let's 108 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: start with the colt so we can talk about the 109 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: Jets disaster. But Andrew Luck, even though those first two 110 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 1: drives are what everyone's gonna remember, the receivers, especially Dayne Allen, 111 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: were so wide open. The effort from the Jets and 112 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: the confusion, it was just embarrassing. I would say the 113 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: most embarrassing primetime game any teams had all year. Andrew 114 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: Luck after that point made a lot of really impressive 115 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: throws under pressure into tight windows, and it continues a trend. 116 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is playing like a top three or four 117 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: quarter are back right now. And I know it was 118 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: the Jets, but those throws, it doesn't matter who you're 119 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: making it against. I think the cult should feel really 120 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: good about this. They did what they had to do, 121 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: and I think they're in great position. I don't I 122 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: don't like when people say, oh, well, it came against 123 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: the Jets because what you did is you put up 124 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: forty one points breaks barring one of the worst rules 125 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: the NFL has, which you guys, Bill tweeted about last night, 126 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: the fact that Jack Doyle is has that possession yanked 127 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: away from the Cults. I mean that would have talked 128 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: about a halftime exclamation went right before the half that 129 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: touchdown that should have been I this was the Cults saying, 130 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: look at the a f C South has issues, but 131 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: we are here to tell you that we're not going 132 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: to be ripped off the scene in the next week 133 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: or two. The a f C South includes the Cults 134 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: to the very end. I don't think any team and 135 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 1: I count the Browns and I count the forty Niners 136 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: would have lost the Jets in this night. So I 137 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: have to keep it a little bit in perspective that 138 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: the home team no showed completely. But if you if 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,559 Speaker 1: you're a Cults fan, you need you if you're feeling 140 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: good right now, because they swept the Titans. They won 141 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: in Lambeau t Y Hilton right now is the number 142 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: two receiver in the NFL in yards and he's making 143 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: deep plays. They have two good tight ends. They have 144 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: moncrief back Gore's you know, gets the job done. They 145 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: have a top five quarterback. I think this is a 146 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: little bit of a dangerous team if you have a 147 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: home game in the playoffs with this team. They have 148 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: all sorts of things the Texans don't have. I just 149 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: I think we're we're all kind of view that it's 150 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: the Titans or the Cults that we would like to 151 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: see come out of the South, not the Texans. And 152 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: four it starts right at quarterback. I don't think it 153 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: extends really beyond quarterback. Take the other fifty two players 154 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: on the Texans over the players and the Colts, right 155 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: Bob Lamy with that call? By the way, um uh said, Uh, 156 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: let's now talk a little bit about the Jets, and 157 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: why don't we start this time uh with the thoughts 158 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: really for the last time this season, at least before 159 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: we get to the free free agency from Keith hands 160 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: is because the Jets don't deserve anything more from Keith 161 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: has gone through enough. Let's hear from Keith. His name 162 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: is Keith, his dad's dad. He'll doubt about it. He's 163 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: a big Jets fan. What is he going to say 164 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: about the game? Today. What is he going to sap 165 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: the game today? A Monday night game is the showcase 166 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: of the NFL for the week. And the Jets looked 167 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. Uh one ten final. I think this game, 168 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: the players, the coaches, and the organization, the owners all 169 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: should be ashamed of themselves. In particular, players look like 170 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: they quit. And there's nothing worse than pro football to 171 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: see the tend to see that. And so it was 172 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: a very uh scourging loss to see them just give 173 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: up like that. That's it. Thanks that you've done to 174 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: my dad? Do you be him on your New York Jets? 175 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: This is um These the dark days are back in 176 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: a big way for the Jets right now. And and 177 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I thought Rich to media vs Rich to Meoni, the 178 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: beat right for ESPN, who has covered the team for 179 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: years and years, said it well as the game was 180 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: unfolding yesterday that there was the shades or there was 181 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: an air of butt fumble uh at the at the 182 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: meadow Lands, because it was one of those unique Jets 183 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: nights where it just seems anything is possible in terms 184 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: of embarrassment, in terms of how bad can get get? 185 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: How bad can it get? Oh my god, it just 186 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: got worse, and I thought the the the message is 187 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: being sent by Jets fans that stadium was a third 188 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: empty at the beginning of the game. It was half 189 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: empty by halftime, and no one was there but Colts 190 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: fans for the last quarter. Jets fans are done with it. 191 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, we're we're back headed towards a rebuild, but 192 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: we're we never had any moment of glory. It's not like, oh, well, 193 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: we made our shot and we made our d playoff runner, 194 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: we got two super Bowl we want a Super Bowl. No, 195 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: it's like, oh you you kind had won ten games 196 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: in a flukey way and now it's back into a 197 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: deep rebuild. That's where they are right now. This is 198 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: a nightmare situation and the quarterback position is at the 199 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: heart of it. But there's a lot of issues right now, 200 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: and even Todd Bowles, who I didn't have a big 201 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: issue with, uh this season. I know it's been a 202 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: bad year for a lot of people, but this game 203 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: to me got me thinking, is Todd Bowles even safe 204 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: because if these players quit and they go three and thirteen, 205 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: watch out, well he was as potentially here. I don't 206 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: think it should be, but I wouldn't rule anything out 207 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: with what he Johnson based on his you know, track record. 208 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was as furious as he's ever gonna be 209 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: after that game, just saying how it was embarrassing to 210 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: get your ass kicked. He said the words asked kicked 211 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: about twenty different times. And when you're discouraging a guy 212 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: who's usually so even keeled like Todd Bowles, and you're 213 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: getting Keith Hansas, uh that down, and you're getting John Gruden, 214 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: who loves football more than any announcer, to really hammer 215 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: this team throughout the game and point out a fact 216 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: that that fans don't don't want to hear. But you know, 217 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: it's fair to point out that Bryce Petty, there's a 218 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: reason he hasn't been on the field. He didn't look 219 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: like he doesn't look like a guy that should be 220 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: on the field starting NFL games. Okay, you want to 221 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: see him, I get it. That's fine. He's a fourth 222 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: round pick though, and Gruden point out watched the film 223 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: of the first game. He's just they just don't have 224 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: an option right now. Gino Smith was that option. It 225 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: sounds strange, but they would have been a lot better, 226 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: a lot better off with Gino Smith at least taking 227 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: a look at him, because Petty the next four games. 228 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean, now you go to San Francisco. Not that 229 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: we need to get into that, but it's like they're 230 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the worst team in the league right there. I disagree 231 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: on Geno Smith. I disagree with John Gruden's statement that 232 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: the Jets might bring back Gino Smith. Gino Smith is 233 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: not the answer short term or the long term. And yeah, 234 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: his point was just that Petty and not a guy 235 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: you want playing football. That's why I think Petty should 236 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: have gotten into this season two games ago, because if 237 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: you're gonna take a look at him, take a look 238 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: at him, and you know what, it's not gonna be pretty. 239 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: And that's why the Jets might not win another game 240 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: this year. But this is the position you are now 241 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: in and it just there's no there's no good way 242 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: to spend it there. And they have the worst quarterback situation, 243 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: uh in the league to me. The Browns are right 244 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: there obviously, but there's really not a lot of hope 245 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: at the position right now. I mean, they're both the 246 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: both of those quarterback positions are in such an abyss 247 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: that it's it's not about one or two. I you 248 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: know you're having a bad and you were singing during 249 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: the Monday night football anthem about a better But my 250 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: concern for the Jets would be this that you in 251 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: the NFL cannot There is no quick fix team building 252 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: and and the Tenants sixth season last year was not 253 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: an utter mirage, but but a lot happened um in 254 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: the right way where maybe it could have prevented some 255 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: deeper team building maneuverings that that should have taken place. 256 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: You need a younger roster, you need some guys to 257 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: build around. You gotta give him a cagnet a chance. 258 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: Charlie Castle was saying it on NFL Network and luck 259 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: he was involved in this hiring so that it's worth noting. 260 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: But he noted what an incredible rebuild it was two 261 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: years ago, how Barren the entire roster was of anyone 262 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: on the team that was valuable that the team had drafted. 263 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: So you gotta give him time. I I totally agree 264 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: with with more time. It's just that I think that 265 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: the path out is not, Hey, let's go sign the 266 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: next big guy that New Yorkers can get around and 267 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: hope that it's the hope that it's well, whatever it is, 268 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: especially necessarily, it's not. You're not one quarterback away. The 269 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: New York Jots are are farther away than that, and you, 270 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: if you want to do it right, sometimes you gotta 271 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: take a step back to go forward. What do you 272 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: do at quarterback? I mean, this idea that that Todd 273 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: Bulls has to apologize when he sees Bryce Petty up 274 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: close and personal every day and knows he's not ready 275 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: to run an offense, he has to apologize for not 276 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: playing him earlier is laughable. Bryce Petty isn't ready to play. 277 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: Do you only get ready to play by playing? And 278 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: it's not the only way you get there's actually when 279 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: you're a fourth round pick. It came from a college 280 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: offense nowhere close and the first team ups in practice 281 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: and getting actual work in I mean, I think this 282 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: is the only way to get a look at the 283 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: guys to play him and get Ryan fitzpetrickta. To me, 284 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: that's fine now that the season's totally lost and there's 285 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: not a huge detriment, although they could put up performances 286 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: like this for another four weeks, which is not gonna 287 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: be There's an effort issue going on and that locker 288 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: room as well, which is a really disturbing thing. It 289 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: was telling you, but they they told you everything that 290 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: you needed to know when they kept Gino Smith. You know, 291 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: they they said, this is not a guy in Bryce 292 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: Petty that we have particularly high hopes for it, and 293 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: people thought he might get cut. He's a fourth round pick, 294 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: which on average, you know, half of them don't make 295 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: it to their third, you know, fourth season. I just 296 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: gotta get a look at it. Well. One thing though, Yeah, 297 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: you just drafted a second round quarterback in the last draft, 298 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: so I don't know how many more you guys are 299 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna keep drafting. I drafted and draft one last thing 300 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: on the Jets stand. Sorry, but like I I feel 301 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: for your data, feel for Jets fans, but I can't 302 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: think of another team that gave up on a game 303 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: like the Jets and last night. All season long, I've 304 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: watched every Browns team and if you watch the Bears, 305 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: even they are playing with more effort. That is a 306 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: massive red flag for a GM and a coach. Massive 307 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: red flag. If you draft a guy in the second round, 308 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: don't you sort of expect that by December you can 309 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: give him a shot to play in the fifth round 310 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: normally asked. For whatever reason, Hackenberg kind of came in 311 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: as this guy who is going to be a project. 312 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Whether that was smart or not. You know, in a 313 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: draft where there was a lot of options and they 314 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: made the somewhat controversial decision to keep four quarterbacks, which 315 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: means he's not getting any look and work at all. Uh, 316 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: except for the scout and it wasn't a good college 317 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: quarter And we'll move on. But your point about Bowls 318 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: is fair because that's a game. Woody Johnson is sitting 319 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: there with the vice president elect of the country while 320 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: the half empty crowd is booing what's left of a 321 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: no team. It's the type of game that if it 322 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: if it happens a few times at the vice president 323 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: elect of Lease is used to that treatment at this point, 324 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: but very true. Um, all right, great Monday night football game. 325 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: Let's move on now. And uh, this is a segment 326 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: and you could put any member of the Jets in this, 327 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: but let's steer away from them now. Uh the name 328 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: of this segment. Gentlemen, Hey, do you want to be 329 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: in my shoes? No, thank you, I would rather be 330 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: in some others. All right, Mark, get us going well, 331 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: the shoes that I don't want to be in is 332 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: the shoes of Blake Bortles, the Jaguars quarterback. Now that's 333 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: almost potentially being too specific, because there aren't a lot 334 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: of people inside that organization whose shoes I want to 335 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: be in, But I think specifically, if you want to 336 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: point to the most depressing aspect of what's happened to 337 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: a team that had was heavily trumped up by members 338 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: of this podcast, I'm pointing to myself for the past 339 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: three years and really the media in general, a team 340 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: people thought was just turning the corner and had a 341 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: lot to do with everything we loved about Blake Bortles 342 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, the next big Ben Rah 343 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: Rah rah. And instead we've got a player that has 344 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: devolved into utter chaos on the field, and you never 345 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: thought of all the team needs they might have that 346 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: they might have to think about finding another quarterback this offseason. 347 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: A lot of that pressure, a lot of that fault 348 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: rests at the feet of Blake Bortles. I don't want 349 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: to be at the feet or in the shoes He's 350 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: gonna have to face some competition. Blake Bortles, I don't 351 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: think they just hand them that job again. It's gonna 352 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: Smith's gonna have to be a new there's gonna be 353 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: a new coach. It's hard to really anticipate that it's 354 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: gonna be up to that new coach. But it's hard 355 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: to imagine that Blake Bortles is it's gonna coast into 356 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: start him. You know, I don't think they're just gonna 357 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: cast him out right. I mean that would the ultimate 358 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: reversals if they cut ties with him and then move 359 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: forward with what It's like Tom Coughlin pulls some sort 360 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, al Pacino any given Sunday move 361 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: where he gets the Ji Guards job again. There's been 362 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: whisperings of that, and then trades the first round pick 363 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: for Eli Manning and then Blake Bortles is out the door. 364 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: Put yourself in shot con shoes. You hired David Cobble 365 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: and Gus Bradley, and we're very patient with them to 366 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: bring about this rebuilding effort, and they sold you on 367 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles is the face of the franchise. Are you 368 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: really going to give up on that investment in Blake 369 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: Bortles or are you going to hire the best offensive 370 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: coach the best quarterback grew. You can fix that delivery, 371 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 1: or spend of off season trying to fix that delivery 372 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: and hope you see two thousand fifteen Blake Bortles again 373 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: next year. May maybe, but it wouldn't surprise you if 374 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles is the backup to Jake Cutler or Tony 375 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: Romo and week one or something like that, Yes, it would. Yeah. 376 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Tony Romo would go to j not Romo, 377 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,959 Speaker 1: Cutler not a Roma because of the situation. I think 378 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: Cutler would be too expensive to pair with Blake Portles. 379 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: My feeling is that next August will be reading a 380 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: lot of stories about how Blake bortles mechanics have been 381 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: cleaned up by new offensive coordinator X or quarterback coach Y, 382 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars are confident he'll return to his two 383 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen form. That's what I said. I think he'll 384 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: be this unquestioned storry going it's week one. I don't 385 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: know if he'll keep the job, but that's that's how 386 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: I see. I would put a sandwich on that, agreeing 387 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: with you that Mark Sessler will be writing an article 388 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: and at some point between May and August that Blake 389 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: Portles has cleaned up his mechanics. Don't even think about that. 390 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna be putting your lap. You're gonna be right. Yeah, 391 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: you want to be in my shoes? No, thank you. 392 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: I would rather be in some others west. This isn't 393 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: too far away from Blake Portles. I don't want to 394 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: be in Howie Roseman's shoes. WHOA how quickly things changed, 395 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: swam through the muck and Meyer to come out clean. 396 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: On the other side, they picked Carson Wentz, who is 397 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: now going through some of the same issues Blake Bortles 398 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: has with his delivery along looping wind up, the ball 399 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: down at his waist. Uh. Last week's game against the Bengals, 400 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: six passes bad at the line of scrimmage. I don't 401 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen that before. Three intercepted, three 402 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: more dropped by the Bengals. Could have been six interceptions 403 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: and six six batted passes. He has regressed this week. 404 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson comes out and says his issues are strictly mechanics. 405 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: Wentz comes out and says, no, no, it's not my mechanics. 406 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: When you throw that many passes, things are gonna happen. 407 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: It's an issue. And I'm not saying that he's the 408 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: same as Blake Bortles. I think that he he checks 409 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: all of the boxes when we saw him in September. 410 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: He's what you want. He's gonna be diligent in the classroom. 411 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: He's committed the football. I think he checks a lot 412 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: of the boxes. But then you also have a coach. 413 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm if you can't tell I can't get over this 414 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: that he challenged a two yard can pleas and Doug 415 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: Peterson that we saw in September, who looked like a 416 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: bright coach. He's done some stupid things in the last month, 417 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: and now Carson Wentz is on pace to shatter the 418 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: Eagles single season pass attempts record as a rookie. That's 419 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: not how you develop a quarterback. I think of Howie 420 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: and what the team that they took over, and he's 421 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: sort of in year one of making it a Howie 422 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: team again. And maybe they'll win seven games, maybe they'll 423 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: win six games. That's gonna be three or four games 424 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: better than last year. I don't know about Wentz. I've 425 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: seen enough in his rookie year that it's a lot 426 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: more than a lot of really good quarterbacks. Show felt 427 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: the same way about Blake Bortles after last year you 428 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: were calling him your favorite quarterback to watch. Sure, but 429 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: as a rookie, I think Wentz has has shown more 430 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: and enough smart people, you know, within the Eagles and 431 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: certainly outside, believe in this guy that that I don't know. 432 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a great thing to have Carson Wentz. 433 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a detriment. Think that's an asset. Yeah. 434 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: The one real positive with Carson Wentz versus some rookies 435 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: to come out and then the problem with them is 436 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: you're not convinced after a couple of seasons the football 437 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: is the number one priority. And that may be the 438 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: case with Blake Bordles according to who you listen to. 439 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: That with Wentz that's not the issue at all. But 440 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: with with Bordles, we've seen the mechanics as a quarterback. 441 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: If you have deep mechanical problems, it's not a guarantee 442 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: that there's a way out of that. And that's a 443 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: that's a that's a really concerning thing. With Greg you 444 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: weren't hugely impressed with Derek Carr after his rookie season. 445 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: I remember that, but it wasn't a mechanical issue. It 446 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: was other stuff. Is because you didn't see you, You 447 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: just didn't see. I was going to be horribly wrong, 448 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: but he was. He would had one of the lowest 449 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: yards per tempt in NFL history, in part I think 450 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: because he was avoiding making mistakes, which is to his credit. 451 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: He just kept everything simple and short. And they're throwing 452 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: everything at Wentz, I think, and making it tough on him, 453 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: and that's fine. They did it to Eli Manning. He 454 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: was fine afterwards. If you're going to be a good quarterback, 455 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: you'll be good. What. I don't want to throw too 456 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: much on Eagles fans here. It's I'm probably being a 457 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: little negative. I talked to Daniel Jeremiah right before this segment, 458 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: and he pointed out there's as many similarities in Carson 459 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Wentz's delivery with Russell Wilson, who has a longer wind 460 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: up with a quick release, as there are with Blake Bortles. 461 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: I also, yeah, I don't feel bad for how either, 462 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: because his favorite season is coming up. I mean, this 463 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: guy is going to be active in February and March. 464 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: That's what how He has been lives for some money, 465 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: some trades, a little bit of everything. That's time. Mark. 466 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: Would you want to be in his shoes? No, I 467 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: would rather be in some others. I will talk about 468 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: Rick Smith, the general manager of the Houston Texans, who 469 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: is in a pickle. Well there's a common denominator here, Yeah, 470 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: there always is. Um you know. I I am of 471 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: the opinion, going back to statements made by ownership of 472 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans immediately after their embarrassing playoff stir last January, 473 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: nice use of thank you, that Rick Smith was given 474 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: an ultimatum, find me a quarterback or else. And Rick 475 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: Smith did the best he could. And it's very hard, 476 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: as many teams find out every every winter and early spring, 477 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: to find a quarterback if you don't have one, especially 478 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: if you can't do it through the draft, necessarily with 479 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: a high, high pick to get one of the hot prospects. 480 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: And Rick Smith took that um that that message sent 481 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: by ownership and went and rolled the dice. I'm brock Oswidler, 482 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: who by all accounts I would say right now, but 483 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: anybody watches the game is as a disaster right now. 484 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: They can't throw down field. He doesn't have touch. Uh, 485 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a good release. He doesn't have good 486 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: pocket presents. Uh, he does not produce. He's not a 487 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: quarterback that's producing, and he's young. Not a good sign. 488 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: When the owner tells everyone to leave the quarterback alone, 489 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: that's like the last sign things are going. And it's 490 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: also another sign that it did was the owner who 491 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: was behind a lot of this in my opinion. Anyway, 492 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: he's young, but he's not that young. He's twenty six 493 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: right now. But the problem and why I don't want 494 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: to be Rick Smith is what do you do for 495 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: your Rick Smith? Because now you have uh to use 496 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: a wess is Um a thirty seven million dollar boondoggle 497 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: on your hands with brock Oswiler. It's really gonna limit 498 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: you in terms of what you could do with resigning 499 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: your own players going after another quarter you canna invest 500 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: big on another quarterback when you have this monster salary 501 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: as a backup. You're going to wash your hands of 502 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: the season and say, you know what, I'm gonna give 503 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: brock Oslar one more shot with again great headlines next August. Oh, 504 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: brock Oslar has figured things out this year? No, because 505 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: Rick Smith, if he survives this season, which I think 506 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: he will, won't survive if they have another bad season 507 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: with Brock Oswell next year Catch twenty two. Don't want 508 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: to be that guy. I can see this in this situation, 509 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: if there could be change in Jacksonville, if there could 510 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: be changed somewhere else, I could see the Texans doubling down, 511 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: digging in really hard, and saying, listen, eight Bordles is 512 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: essentially a rookie, just like these other quarterbacks. You only 513 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: had a couple of starts coming in. We're gonna Brock 514 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: cost while, We're gonna treat him like a a rookie, 515 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: and we're going to you know, we're gonna build him 516 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: up and we're gonna build around him, and it's gonna 517 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: be an off season of flowery nonsense about Brock os 518 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: Swiler and then suddenly colon September. Better have somebody. Uh well, 519 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: unless you really believe in that backup quarterback in Houston, 520 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: you might want to have a better option around. If 521 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna actually roll with Brock next year. Well, you know, 522 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: Brock you can get rid of after two thousand seventeen 523 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: in terms of his contract. Sorry, Brackets, that's true. Um, 524 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: still get your money, buddy, and maybe you can draft 525 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: someone another mid round pick. I mean, who knows you 526 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: can start planning for that post two thousand seventeen. And 527 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: if and if you're Rick Smith, though, you do have 528 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: it in your mind that, oh I signed that big 529 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: contract extension through twenty twenty. That money is guarantee need 530 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: before this season. That was good timing by Old signing 531 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: Plague Portals for thirty seven million. That's a heist. Come on, 532 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for Rick Smith. The general Manner's 533 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: job is to find a quarterback, and he's been trying 534 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: for a lot of years to find a quarterback. All right, Hey, 535 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: do you want to be that guy's shoes? No, thank you, 536 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: I would rather be in some others. I was still 537 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: on the fence between two guys here, but that music 538 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: convinced me that Bob McAdoo, Ben McAdoo, is the right 539 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: choice because that's the type of music. You can imagine. 540 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: You can imagine Ben McAdoo rocking out to You can 541 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: just see him in his basement like putting together his 542 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: nine page laminated sheets of different plays, you know, and 543 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: he's just like rock and he's like, man, it used 544 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: to be so much more fun and Green Bay when 545 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: I had Aaron Rodgers and everything, and it used to 546 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: be fun when we were eight and three and beating 547 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: on all those lousy teams. Because I don't think it's 548 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: good to be the coach really of a paper tie 549 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when he's in the basement, it's it's it's 550 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: not good to be the coach of a paper tiger 551 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: team on the edge of a cliff about to fall 552 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: off as winter is coming, as West has said, because 553 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: there there's there is no more, no more uncomfortable position 554 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: than a free falling New York team, especially with an 555 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: aging quarterback and a lot of expensive pieces and and 556 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,239 Speaker 1: the media so much more concerned with whatever O'Dell Betty does, 557 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: and then the quarterback with a weak arm, and uh, 558 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: and really I was trying to think of a guy 559 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: who what shoes don't you want to be in? You 560 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: don't want to be in the shoes when you're kind 561 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: of at the top and things are about to get 562 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot worse. That's the worst because I don't think 563 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: McAdoo has answers. That's the problem. I've got a lot 564 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: of answers on that play script he's got with multiple 565 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: pages flipped over, post it notes, hanging off eight four, 566 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: let's come down here. Well, that's why I'm I'm paper 567 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: Tigers correct. I'm putting almost a prediction in here because 568 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be his next month is going 569 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: to be uncomfortable when you lose to the Cowboys. When 570 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: do you feel this is like m Johnson taking over 571 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: the Dolphins at the end of Dan Reno's career, which 572 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: ultimately just ended in Jimmy Johnson, you know, jumping ship. 573 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: At some point, I would say, there's a lot of 574 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: like bad shoes to be in and I know the 575 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: Giants might have a struggle ahead, but a lot of 576 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: people would love that's Todd Balls. He loved to be 577 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: eighting four right now heading into the second week in December. 578 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I like where Greg's that though, because 579 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: according to Greg, which I don't think this is bad reason, 580 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo has already reached the highest it's only gonna 581 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: Balls can rebuild this jets and and get better. I 582 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: would say this, here's what's in his what's in his corner, 583 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: And it's not just the songs and tunes down in 584 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: his basement and whoever he is he's talking on there. 585 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: It sounds it sounds like himself, but that is an 586 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: extremely patient organization that does not yank coaches. I don't 587 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: think they're gonna get really fired. I also say, listen, 588 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: I get I hear you with the Giants, and they're 589 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: not They're not an eight and three team, and they're 590 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: probably gonna get waxed maybe pre playoffs that they even 591 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But they did make some improvements on defense, 592 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: which was a major problem for recent Giants teams. There 593 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: are a couple of young players to build around. I 594 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: think the issue is if if Eli Manning's arm is 595 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: actually permanently reduced from a strength and I'm not suggesting 596 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: that anything's permanent, no, but if that's if that seems 597 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: to be the way it is going forward, then you've 598 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: got lingering issues. I know, what's your thoughts on Victor Cruz, 599 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: who says, I am not complaining about my reduced role 600 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: in this offense. I am not throwing up his thing. 601 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm a good teammate, Victor Cruz. Your thoughts? Who's Victor Cruz? Oh, 602 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: he's the Mr Sassaman. What's the average like one catch 603 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,239 Speaker 1: a game this year? Let's treat him like an All Pro? 604 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: Christopher Mark, you asked that, you know who is the 605 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: other option? It was gonna be Joe Chargers fan. I 606 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: would not want to be a Chargers fan for the 607 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: next or the second straight year they're gonna get stuck 608 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: with Is this the final game in our fifties seven 609 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: year history or not. I don't even know that. The 610 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: fact that the fact that that's an annual occurrence now 611 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: and their team is could very well be yanked away 612 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: right when they have a nice looking roster. Find me 613 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: another fan base that have seven years and then had 614 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: their team taken away. I don't think there is one. 615 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: You know, the worst thing you can say to charge 616 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: of fans like you guys will be okay, the weather 617 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: is great down there, Tacos have a taco. I had 618 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: to throw that in there to set up my whole book, 619 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: the plan that's oh as if that's not all? Yeah, 620 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: you're like halfway through Draft two. NFL Networks, Greg Rosenthal, 621 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: that is it for um for that segment. Good segment, guys, 622 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: Good segond All right, let's talk to Thursday night football preview. 623 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: Uh the Oakland Raiders traveling to Kansas City and Greg, 624 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: could you remind me a little bit briefly about what 625 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: happened the first time these two teams played. This is 626 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: where I wish I had my other early season notebook. 627 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: I could just flip through and find out what I said. 628 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: But let me tell you, the Chiefs defense especially dropped 629 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: a bomb on the Raiders. Really the only game all 630 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: season I can think of where the Raiders were dominated physically. 631 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: It was a bad weather game. Spencerwear ran all over them. 632 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: The Chiefs defense really pushed Oakland around. It was to 633 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: ten and and I don't even know if that score 634 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: shows how lack non competitive it was. If that was 635 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: the only game you watched that year, you would think 636 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: these are the two thousand thirteen Raiders. So it was 637 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: a really impressive performance by Kansas City. Should we expect 638 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: more of the same or this going to be a 639 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: totally different game on Thursday in Kansas City? Well, I 640 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: agree with Greg. That was one of the most impressive 641 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: one side of victories of the season between two good teams. 642 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: But the Raiders are different. They now have the stronger 643 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: running game between the two teams, and their offense is 644 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: getting better. It seems every week I think the Raiders 645 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: are They're hitting their stride offensively, and I don't think 646 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are, although we do expect Jeremy Macklin to 647 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: come back, and that is that cannot be oversold. He 648 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: is a difference maker for their their offense. I think 649 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: there is probably not a tougher assignment than to go 650 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: play a good Chiefs team in Kansas City in prime time, 651 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: that is on a in a short week. That is rough. 652 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: These teams know each other well though. And yes, maybe 653 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City played the most physical game against Oakland the 654 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,479 Speaker 1: first time around, but I'd ask you to go watch 655 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: the Bills game because Buffalo beat up Oakland. They beat 656 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 1: up Oakland's defense, and they controlled both both lines early 657 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: in that game. They were up twenty four to nine. 658 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: And I found that what might be different about this 659 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: Raiders team last Sunday Verse the Week five loss to 660 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs the Weeks six loss, is that mid game 661 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: Oakland picked up the pieces, found a way out of 662 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: their problems, and poured it on offensively. I think this 663 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: this Raiders team cannot be You can shut them down 664 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: for a half, it's not gonna shut them down. Score 665 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: so fast. They're almost like the Panthers last year. When 666 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: they score it's like an avalanche. Victoruchi from the Buffalo 667 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: Times sit and this is not the first case, this 668 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: is every first time this has happened. The Rex Ryan 669 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: that he looked at in quotes absolutely stunned after that loss. 670 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't think Rex Ryan had any idea what happened 671 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: to him. How impressive was what the Raiders did down 672 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: nine and then just went off. And one more thing, 673 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City has won four or five at home. They 674 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: had that weird blip on the radar against Tampa Bay, 675 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: but otherwise they're always a good home team. The Raiders 676 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: are one of only three teams in the league that 677 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: are undefeated there five and oh on the road. So 678 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: the Raiders not only are they getting it done in 679 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: their building, uh, they they're really good on the road. 680 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: They don't wilt this. This is a really good team that, 681 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: like West said, I think is hitting the stride. And 682 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pick against him. I I will. 683 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: I I think they're better team than the Chiefs, but 684 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: I think playing on the road and Narrowhead and the 685 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: crowd noise there and then the pass rushers that Kansas 686 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: City has. Now, so you you have justin Houston, who 687 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: who's as a million sacks. The last couple of weeks. 688 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: You have d Ford back, and you have Tom Bali, 689 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: who's been making some noise now finally the last few weeks. 690 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: So this is car hasn't been used to getting much 691 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: pressure that they're gonna get some pressure on him, at 692 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: least at home, a tough spot. Khalil Mack could win 693 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year and be the second best 694 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: pass rusher in this game. That's a fair point. I mean, 695 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: justin Houston people, I mean people two years ago, he 696 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: was as good as any player not named a J. 697 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: Watt in the league defensively. I I do wonder, um, 698 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: I do wonder what the Chiefs like can if it 699 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: is a shootout, can they win that type of game? Well, 700 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs if anything, I would say absolutely not. 701 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: Except then then then comes the Falcons game from last week, 702 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: and you have to say they use creativity, They used 703 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: the weapons they had in the best way possible. Andy 704 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: Reid is doing a phenomenal coaching job and the only 705 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: way I think Oakland wins this. I'm gonna pick Oakland, 706 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say this is gonna happen in a 707 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: way that is not not flukey, but Oakland's won some 708 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: games where you say, well, what, how did that happen? 709 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen on Thursday night in a 710 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: game where the Kansas City Chiefs to dominate large portions 711 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: of the game. Sounds like Karl Joseph is not going 712 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 1: to play. That's a guy you would think would would 713 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: be part of the group covering Travis Kelsey. I think 714 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: they've made a point instead of this, like let's see 715 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,959 Speaker 1: if it's a Travis Kelsey game or not. Hey, let's 716 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: just give the ball to Travis Kelsey seven times every 717 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: week because he's got four yard games I think in 718 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: the last five or five or six, and he he 719 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: is something else after the catch, he's wild. If you're 720 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: if you're Oakland and they're sitting pretty is the number 721 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: one seed right now and they're being celebrated for that, 722 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, rightfully. But if you lose this game, you've 723 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: been swept by Kansas City. You're now tied with Kansas 724 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: City in the a f C West, and after that 725 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: game you're the five seed. You have to go on 726 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: the road to San Diego, which is a freaky team. 727 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna happen there. You host the 728 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: Cults and then you go on the road to Denver 729 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: in week seventeen. You it is you're setting the table 730 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: for a tumble if you don't take care of business. 731 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: I think the urgency will be there for Oakland, and 732 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: I after seeing what car leading that that charge in 733 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: the second half, that he's my new m v P favorite. 734 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,959 Speaker 1: I like Derek Carr. This is a huge game. I 735 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 1: I think in the m v P race, like if 736 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: he has this on a national time, stay prime time 737 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: against the top, I expect him to deliver another big 738 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 1: performance and and become the favorite. In my mind. West 739 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: picked this game, sir, I'm gonna pick the home team. 740 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: And the only strong feeling I have about this game 741 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: is that I don't understand how anybody has a strong 742 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: feeling on who's gonna win this game. Now, I'm with you, Yeah, 743 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: I mean, no matter what year it is, the Raiders 744 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: and Chiefs are two teams that know each other so well. 745 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: This is just your classic late season to game. But 746 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: I think the reason I have a strong feeling is 747 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: that it's not scientific. It's not scientific, but the Oakland. 748 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: Oakland has the feel of one of those teams that 749 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: just every week you think something's gonna happen to knock 750 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: him off, and they find a way to win. I 751 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's a strong feeling based on Hey, player X, 752 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: player Z gonna attack each other this way. It's just 753 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: that Oakland's kind of just feeling it. Wes. You know 754 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: that the Raiders have my heart. Yes, the heart wants 755 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: with the heart wants, I feel strongly because I believe 756 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: in this team and I love this team. Here here's 757 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: my strong feeling. People are getting all excited about Jack 758 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: del Rio Coach of the Year. I get it. That's fine. 759 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 1: Give me Andy Reid, Give me the same two teams 760 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and Andy Reid is 761 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna win that game over Jack del Rio's team. This award, right, 762 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: it's the whole, the whole award Siste from top to bottom, 763 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: could not be more ridiculous, widely claimed the greatest coach 764 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: of all time. You know, just like Tom. We have 765 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,919 Speaker 1: the same conversation last week. Tom sleeps, okay without every 766 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: trophy in the world, ridiculous never wins it. I don't 767 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: think Bill sleeps okay. Uh, there's our Thursday Night preview. 768 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: You don't think Bill sleep. I think he's right. He 769 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: does not strike me as a guy who's just like, 770 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm good, Tom, I'm cool. I'm cool, like 771 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm just I got no worries. I'm Bill Belding. I 772 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: think he worries about Yeah, Tom Brady probably has a 773 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: sleep coach before before we go as we said before. 774 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: Um yeah, so many things about two thousand sixteen on 775 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: my radar. One thing that's not is every time this 776 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: man joins us from his haunted match and that he 777 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: pays a mortgage.

Is that accurate? Um? 783 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: And you said you had something you needed to tell 784 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: the world about, So where where better than the stage 785 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL podcast in our latest edition 786 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: of Or You kidding Me?

I don't know if anyone else 788 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: saw this commercial on Thanksgiving where these grandparents are reading 789 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: tweets from their granddaughters. It's about to come over to 790 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: their house, and she's like, oh, my grandparents don't have WiFi, 791 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: Like keep pounding, I can't watch my favorite Chills and 792 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: like these poor people, she said, keep pounding.

It's 797 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: absolutely infuriating. Who runs this house anyway? I pay the bills. 798 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: So what you're saying, Connor, is that the children are 799 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 1: dictating the cable package over some silly online video game. 800 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: I'm saying that this old lady survived freaking Vietnam, like 801 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 1: her husband was out there hounding the pounding the sand 802 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,240 Speaker 1: and killing people and trying to fight for this country. 803 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: And this and this girl she cares about is like Snapchat, 804 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: It's it's horrible.

Take difference between survived 806 00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: and lived through that was a quite a weird. I 807 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: mean a riff there, Connor. I think you you have 808 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: an issue with a millennials. And uh, isn't Connor a millennial? 809 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 1: Well he is, but he isn't. But I think be entitlement. 810 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: You don't like entitlement and grandparents who've been through real 811 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: life getting pushed around by some child that can't live 812 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: without technology for an hour. That's what I'm saying. Man. 813 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: My grandmother used to cut the heads off chickens for 814 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: a living. If I told her to go get WiFi, 815 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: she hit me with a shelf. She was a chicken 816 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: head cutter. Hell yeah, get over your chicken, your last over. Um, 817 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: So you're Even though this happened in a commercial and 818 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: our overseas listeners probably never seen it, that doesn't matter 819 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,839 Speaker 1: that I must have seen that no one ever heard 820 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: ask a question, why can't that little kid get a phone? 821 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: Why do they have to order a cable pack? The 822 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: whole commercial was like absolutely pathetic and like these grandparents 823 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: at the end or like I'm so happy we did 824 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: this to like connected, Like you don't have to do that, man, 825 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: Like you know you you you created all this stuff 826 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: so that that that little malcontent can live in this planet. 827 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: You know, I'm feeling this, so this is more a 828 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: rap against technology. It's almost like a this like the 829 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: black Mirror episode of Connor Ores Or You're kidding me 830 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: and watch out for technology, because while you think it's 831 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: making life better, it might be quite the opposite. I 832 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just hope they didn't have to 833 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: spend any money because you know they needed for like, 834 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 1: you know, old people's stuff. You know that you don't 835 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: need to be spending money on on on WiFi for 836 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: dumb little kids. That's ridiculous. Yeah, I'm hearing more of 837 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: a rant against helicopter parents and indulging every whim of 838 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 1: a child helicopter grandparenting. I'll tell you what, Connor, you 839 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: definitely took this issue to the right group, especially the 840 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: kissing cousins right up there out Greg, you haven't said 841 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: anything yet. I did this to his grandparents. And he's 842 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 1: sitting up he's back into a corner here, and I 843 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: can see that. I was wondering if if anything last 844 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: night at the game that you to kind of caught 845 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: your ire I. I feel like that was a recipe 846 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: for or you getting me at the meadow Lands. I 847 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: loved it. I mean, I love. I love like you know, 848 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 1: moments that just define like insanity. I mean that that 849 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: game was was quite possibly the end of a coach's 850 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: career and just like a total prime time ask kicking. 851 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: What's not to love about that? That? That was great? 852 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: What was the because ESPN and I wrote about this 853 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: on end Around today. Um, by the second quarter, ESPN 854 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: scrambling to keep people interested, was just panning around the 855 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,240 Speaker 1: meadowlands finding sad jets fans. Um. What was the saddest 856 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: thing you saw at the game? Um? I would have 857 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: to say, I mean just the fact that, like the 858 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: crowd suddenly came to life when two topless, like twenty 859 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 1: two year old boys got tackled on the terraf fact streaking. 860 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: But uh, A close second to that would be Todd 861 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: Bowles clearly never telling Ryan Fit's pratt trick that he 862 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: had taken his last nap, and then Ryan Fitzpatrick standing 863 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: right behind the curtain, next in line for the press conference, 864 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,240 Speaker 1: and then he just goes, oh, yeah, well I guess 865 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 1: I guess that's it, you know, And that's how it works, 866 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: you know, buddy. He uh balls did apologize today for 867 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,280 Speaker 1: saying he could have handled that aspect a little bit better. 868 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, your your boy Semini.
