1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: The around the NFL podcast as fun as parish in

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: the forties. That's an all time Rosenthal from the Chris

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: Westling podcast studio. It's around the NFL. I'm Dan Jnsas

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: I have heroes with me, yes, the off fore mentioned

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler. The week three preview show starts now.

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I was really looking for like the bellow pock or whatever.

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you say it, but that's

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: just like late eighteen hundreds, early night and the Nazis

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: were walking through the street, and I nailed it right.

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Uh not typically seen as a golden era for Parry,

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: but we've litigated this, but maybe it's a good accurate

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: description of this show that's coming up. You know what

13
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: was probably pretty awesome, although still torn apart by war,

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: the Post Nazi occupation. So even if you went late

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: forties a party, yeah, you're definitely would have been good.

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: It's a reverse bulls I in terms of your parallel,

17
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: just like I feel lucky to be alive. You know,

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: where's that iconic where was the iconic photo taken? I

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: already know the answer. Actually, of the UH Navy, the

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: seamen back from air, back from war, getting the kiss

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: from the lady. I think that was Times Square in

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: New York's yeah, you tell us, because I mean the

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: open ended historical questions are not good for Greg and eye.

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: Anyone listening in just getting a free history. Listen. You

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: don't need school, you only need us. Where your teachers?

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Week three, week three, and it's week three. He's got

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do to live up to

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: week two kind of ended with a whimper. The prime

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: time games weren't so good, but everything else was a

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: lot of fun and we're going to get to all

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: of the week three games and we're gonna have a

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: visit to the Cincinnati Zoo to check in with the

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: westling brothers who, by the way, not for nothing we

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: have our competition, which is pretty tight right now after

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: a week too lacockalypse, definitely not Olypse, Alackalypse, which is

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: are suggested by a listener, which we did not come

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: up with, a lock Elypse lack list. That's good. Um,

38
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: the westling brothers should not be a surprise, but they

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: actually have their own standings internally now and they should know.

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: Just to make it known, um the West brothers, that

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: that will not be recognized officially in the standings. They're

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: individualized battle. It's still one west brother entry per week,

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: but I found that funny and very kind of on brand.

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: It's amazing because one of them will now claim victory.

45
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: There's no way, like as a group. There's no way

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: for them to lose. Uh. And then and he'll now

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: hate the other brothers and and think he's smarter than

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: it's muddled. It's muddled Um all right. So this is

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, as we always do. We will

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: go through all of the prime time games. Then we

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: will hit the draft, where Mark Saser has the number

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: one overall pick. Goose bumps over there. I'm prepared to

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: make an excellent pick. Excellent, but first, uh, yeah, let's

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: get to it. Let's get to the prime time games.

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Let's start with Sunday night football. We had to endure

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: another bears packers game at Lambeau field last week. Uh.

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: This Sunday a little bit better. Forty niners with Jimmy Garoppolo,

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: now the starting quarterback, travels two mile high, uh, to

59
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: face Russell Wilson and the broncos. And Mark, I think

60
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: a good way to get into this one is yes, Garoppolo.

61
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: This is the first time this week that he actually

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: got to like practice with the first team and he

63
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: is the he was the man in that offense again,

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: or at least the quarterback of that offense. But it's

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Denver that interests me the most here, mark, especially with

66
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: where things are with the head coach and the public

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: outcry and the frustration of the fan base and around

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: this team, to have a primetime game with with Tariko,

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Chris and the gang, everybody's gonna be focused on this.

70
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pressure on Nathaniel Hackett. There already

71
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of pressure. I mean, had this been

72
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: put at one o'clock eastern and now you know we're

73
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: we're days removed from the Broncos fans are a feverish

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: fan base, one of the best, and in unison they

75
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: were counting down the forty second play clock because they're

76
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: coaching staff cannot handle that's that responsibility on their own,

77
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: and I think you know it really is. To me

78
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: that feels like the broncos could use a second training

79
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: camp because the core things that are coaching. So that's

80
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: a problem. It's too late for that, but so you

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: gotta figure a lot of things out because it's it's

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: it's not just the communication, it's not just the way

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: that they've there's this there's this obsession with bringing bringing

84
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: Brandon mcmanison on bizarres scenarios to keep Russell Wilson off

85
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: the field, when they should be basically highlighting Russell Wilson

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: what he was brought here to do. The offensive, though,

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I think, has been what's been a little overlooked. They

88
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: have been a good offense. They've had four yards per game.

89
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: It's when they've gotten into the red zone. There Oh

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: for six when they get to the red zone, and

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: so they're low scoring, they're not scoring touch downs and

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: I think it is just a team. We expected some

93
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: growing pains, but they've been a little more intense because

94
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: it's been some scenarios that have been embarrassing, I think,

95
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: for Nathaniel Hackett Company right. I mean if you had

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: said that Russell Wilson and the offense, it's not Wilson

97
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: getting booed, but that the offense would have been booed heavily,

98
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson's first game, even when he ran out

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: onto the field for the first time, you know they

100
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't cut to commercial break because they wanted to hear

101
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: the big ovation, but instead everyone was grumbling because there

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: was a holding penalty on the return and so everyone

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: was upset with that and then no one gave Russell

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: Wilson his flowers. Like everything is off, and yet it

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: just looks like a normal Russell Wilson offense for the

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: most part. Guys are open. Eric Eager on twitter, who

107
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: who I really like, had a great stat that they

108
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: have more open receivers in terms of average separation than

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: any team in the entire league. And yet Russell Wilson

110
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: is throwing into tight coverage more than almost any quarterback

111
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: in in the entire league. So his decision making hasn't been,

112
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, quick and sharp, but for the most part

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: he's just looked like Russell Wilson and I love this

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: as the Sunday night football game. If this was in

115
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: the draft, it would be my number one overall pick.

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Just say, just say what it really is. Uh, you

117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: could have just stopped it. I love this because because

118
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: they played the Texans, played the seahawks to very milk

119
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: toast teams that we don't really know what they are,

120
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: and now here's like a real test against a great defense.

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: To me, that's like a perfect everyone. Don't get hung

122
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: up on the Greg Geno Smith Love Affair. Greg's hatred

123
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson should not be slept on. It is deep,

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: it's passionate, uh, it's it's very it's almost unhinged at times,

125
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: and I know you've really enjoyed the start of the

126
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: season with Wilson Um. So he hasn't played that bad. Actually,

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna say. So here's the thing.

128
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: It is sloppy. Denver has been bad. They are very

129
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: fortunate to have a win after the first two weeks.

130
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: But if you watch the games closely and these red

131
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: zone failures, there's been a several, and I mean two,

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: three played moments at least where just by the smallest

133
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: the margins, Um toe out of bounds, stopped at the

134
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: one inch line and then they failed to get the

135
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: ball in. But I don't think it's been as bad

136
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: as it seems. The Red Zone was Um specifically and

137
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get it figured out. But again,

138
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: mark like this, this situation with Hackett and the coaching

139
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: staff and the pressure on them to get this right.

140
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: It's a real thing and it's gonna be really interesting

141
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: to see in prime time with millions of people watching,

142
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: against a great coaching staff that's gonna find a way,

143
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: especially to maximize Jimmy G. I think that. I think

144
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: the Niners, if you're Col Shanahan, the whole tray lance thing,

145
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a level of comfort just to

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: have Jimmy g back starting, because it was with Trey Lance.

147
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: You know you're losing his mobility, you're losing him as

148
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: part of the ground game, which I think matters. But

149
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy G, everyone's saying like what he wasn't in the play.

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: He's been in, based in this offense for years. He

151
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: I think if you look at George kittle the rest

152
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: of the players on the team, there is a level

153
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: of comfort with him and probably a little bit of

154
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: happiness that he's back as the starting quarterback right there.

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Running game is not gonna be the team. I really

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: think they're gonna Miss Elijah Mitchell at all, but overall

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I think they're comfortable. I love this game because just

158
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure what I we have with the

159
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: Broncos at all. Dan like they've played the Texans and

160
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, who both teams on both sides of the

161
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: ball pretty vanilla. And this forty niners front epocom who

162
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: they got from the rams, has been stuffing people against

163
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: the run. You have both of you have Armstead UH.

164
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Their front seven is great. You got your guy, who Fonga,

165
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: in the back end. Like this is a time. You

166
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: enjoying the Lufano experience. I mean, how can you not?

167
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: I think it would be like if you're naming all

168
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: pro safeties after two weeks. There it is. He would

169
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: be your guy. It's been good. There it is. Yeah,

170
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: and I do not to dwell on it because I

171
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: feel like people have hit this and we did a

172
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit on Sunday as well, but it does feel

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: like it and you feel for Trey Lance, but it

174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: feels like this is probably a better set up for

175
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: forty niners where they are right now with Garoppolo. Just

176
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: I think they just want it this way and that's

177
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: the one thing. And we buried Garoppolo on the show

178
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: by the end of last season, and with good reason.

179
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: He was not productive and he couldn't lead the offense

180
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: and he's the reason I think, they didn't go to

181
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Really Um, but he was hurt too,

182
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: hurt enough to get a surgery on his throwing shoulder.

183
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: The fact that he's healthy, let's see what kind of season.

184
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: That's why they drafted Trey Lance, because Jimmy Garoppolo party

185
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: rarely stays healthy. Now they have, you know, have another

186
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: quarterback that can't stay healthy. Remember last year we learned

187
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: over the summer. Well, Trey Lance was never healthy last year. Okay,

188
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: so he's hurt throughout his rookie year and now he's

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna Miss Fourteen Games a second year. Okay, yes, yes,

190
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: I really like the forty niners. Well, I knew he

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: was locking it up because southern he doesn't. Does anybody

192
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: have any concern that Justin might, in an effort to

193
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: get into the wet amounts of the a block of

194
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: the show, is going to just start locking up the

195
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: prime time games? Don't matter what? We have evidence that

196
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: that's his strategy? Yeah, but go on. No, that has

197
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. I was looking at the matchups.

198
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: I didn't want to take something that was like right

199
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: on the line of being not lockable. It's and a

200
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: half point spread or whatever, so I went with this game.

201
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm locking up the forty that's a bold one. I

202
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: like it. On the road, I also think you don't

203
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: want to be home and if, if it unfolds the

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: way it did last week. To begin with, they are

205
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: slight road favorite. So that's a pretty disrespectful San Francisco

206
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: by a point and a half by the desert folk.

207
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's move to Monday night football. The Dallas

208
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys traveled to metlife stadium for a date with the

209
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: shell undefeated Geman, who are too and Oh hey, listen,

210
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: you can only play your schedule. You can only play

211
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: your schedule. And UH, they've taken care of a titans

212
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: team that's a little bit of a mess right now

213
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: and Nashville by one point. They beat the Panthers Nineteen Sixteen.

214
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: and to me, mark, this feels like another nice set

215
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: up for the giants at home against the cowboys team.

216
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: And I thought Cooper rush showed us some things, uh,

217
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: in week two. But I'm not gonna get carried away

218
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: like Tony Romo was talking about him like he was

219
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the next Tony Romo. I'm not there yet, but he

220
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: showed himself to be UM competent. But still, the giants

221
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: and their defense, which is playing above its head right

222
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: now perhaps, or maybe, like Martin, ll just deserves what

223
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: credit for being vid at what he does. It feels

224
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: like they should be able to once again hold the

225
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: team under you know, four points. I didn't think that

226
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: the cowboys showed a lot of trust and cooper rush.

227
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: Let him throw the ball thirty one times all over

228
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: the field, gave him a fourth and two situations with

229
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: which he successfully converted. So there is trust inside the

230
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: Organization for him. And I look at what the defense

231
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: did to Cincinnati. We Know Cincinnati has their issues right

232
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: now on offense, but this cowboys defense is the best

233
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: unit in the game for me and the biggest challenge

234
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: with the giants have faced, I think, all season. I

235
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: really think that Brian Dable has done a good job

236
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: with the with the giants, the NFC is more interesting

237
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: when they're a good team. They'RE gonna be wearing their

238
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: white out uniforms. The tables sent a letter to the

239
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: giants stadium said I do care about that. I think

240
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: this is a this is a major moment for the giants,

241
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: one of the biggest games in a long time. I'm

242
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: kind of secretly a giants. I thought you meant the

243
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: jerseys are what made it a major moment. But I

244
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. The chance in prime time to

245
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: beat quote unquote, America's team, or let's say North Texas team,

246
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and start three and oh, for the first time and forever.

247
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: When the last time this happened? For the giants, they

248
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: feel like a little hometime game where they beat Kim Newton,

249
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: I think, in the macadoo years. That for a second.

250
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: You know they didn't make the play of this year,

251
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: but you're right, it's that. That's about it. If that

252
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: doesn't it feel like I don't want to get ahead

253
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: of myself, but I'll just say like if they beat

254
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the cowboys sixteen or something, don't they feel to you

255
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: a little bit like the panthers, where they win their

256
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: first three games and their fan base is like yelling

257
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: at the powering guy to put them in top ten

258
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, let's just, let's just chill out a

259
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: little bit, but you can only play your schedule again

260
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: and this feels like a nice set for them. The

261
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: defense has been a revelation. Think they're good in part

262
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: because not only was the defense looking rough coming into

263
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: this season, they've been missing all their best players on

264
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: paper during the season, Zizo Glari and Cavon thibodeau. They're

265
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: starting edge rushers haven't played. Their trending in the right direction.

266
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: Might play in this game according to day ball, so

267
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: that's good. They have found someone in o'shane Zimmenez, who

268
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: was kind of an edge rusher who was buried among

269
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: the last coaching staff and has really played well the

270
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks. They're starting undrafted rookies who had

271
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: never played before. Last week they're signing guys off the

272
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: waivers and starting them immediately. It's crazy. They're winning because

273
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is struggling. This is one of the I

274
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: love Daniel Jones, or let's say that's a little uh

275
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: too much, but I've rooted for Daniel Jones and wanted

276
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: the best and I think viewed him through rose colored

277
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: glasses and I would say the last two games are

278
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: among the worst two games stretches of his entire career,

279
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: and that's one of the things with playing quarterback. He's

280
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: gotten buried quite often when he's been fine. And now

281
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, no one's getting on Daniel Jones right now

282
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: because dable's there and that's great. They found a way

283
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: to win, but but he's struggling in the offense is

284
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: messy right now and they're playing the best defensive player

285
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: to enter the League at Ed rusher and Michael Parson

286
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: since Lawrence Taylor. To me, this is Michael Parsons like game.

287
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. He's not who would be

288
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: there in terms of I would say von Miller would

289
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: be in that mix because he was really good as

290
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: a rookie, but to come in as good as he wants,

291
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: to come in as good as you were as a rookie,

292
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: and then the way he started this year looking like

293
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: the best player in the League at any position, uh what?

294
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Was not a true edge rusher. So I'm not throwing

295
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: him in there. I think that the Lawrence Taylor comparison

296
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: has been thrown around a lot and I don't think

297
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: it's completely off the mark at all. Like it different

298
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: thin here on the mark. It's just that was a

299
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: definitive statement, which I'm not saying I even disagree with.

300
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: It's just like, is that? How is he the greatest

301
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: player to burst into the League on defense in forty

302
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: years in that position? That's easily the best player in

303
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: this game. UH, he wasn't he the best is the

304
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: best player in the NFL through two weeks. I think

305
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: that's that's okay. Well, all right, you're right about after

306
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: week one, I thought are we're gonna be getting like

307
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: an offensive player of the year type situation with stake,

308
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. They had zero yards rushing against the panthers

309
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: team that the week before was eaten up by Nick

310
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Chubb and Cream Hunt and missed eighteen tackles. So I

311
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: think it's hot and cold with the with the giants

312
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: running game, their whole offense. I mean I think you're

313
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: right there. Two and oh, even if they're three and no,

314
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't think the giants would even put themselves in

315
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: the top ten power rankings after that because it would

316
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: be said, well, do you think they? That's Brian Dable? Well,

317
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: I think they. I think that would be fair. I mean,

318
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: all right, Andrew Thomas, their left tackle, yeah, has played

319
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: really well. So if that's who parsons is going, he's

320
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: helping to make the rest of that defense better, though

321
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: I think because of the attention that goes to him,

322
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the defensive line is playing great. That

323
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: their defense, I think, can carry them to this win.

324
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: There who I picked? All Right, uh, did Reggie White?

325
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Did he come into the League after I think you did.

326
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: It's another option, Bruce Smith, but I guess you got

327
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: to go through and I mean also I know Parsons

328
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: is more of a hybrid. Like he's talking about how

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: they entered the league. Like Reggie White's a good example.

330
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: He did come it into the league about as good

331
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: as possible. He won the defensive rookie of the year

332
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: and then, uh, it was an all pro team uh

333
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the next year. So that that's a good way that

334
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: this conversation essentially the similar type of ARC. But one

335
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: thing that Lewis is not in this conversation. Parsons does

336
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor type things and sort of looks like Lawrence

337
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: Taylor and he has been playing it while he's been

338
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: playing two positions. But that changed last week and I

339
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: think that's a really interesting thing to watch for keeping

340
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: them there. For the first time last week they did

341
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: not mess around with the fall linebacker snaps, even though

342
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: everyone is healthy. So we'll see. Let's see if if

343
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: Parsons is as great as we think he should be

344
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: able to wreak havoc against D Daniel Jones will be

345
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Nice prime time stage for that. All right,

346
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: let's move on to the draft. It is time to

347
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: hit with the first overall pick, Sessy, a top ten

348
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: NFL analysts will get us going. What do you gotta See?

349
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: They're counting down to thank you. The top ten thing

350
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: maybe slightly overdone. He's a top ten football now he's

351
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: got to use it. Time out. I am gonna go.

352
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Where's then? This is easy. I'm going. Bills at dolphins.

353
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: Bills at dolphins. That's a good way to start things off.

354
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: If you thought, or if you knew back in the summer,

355
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: because we didn't know with two on what this dolphins

356
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: offense would be, that the number two offense and D

357
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: v O A, I think that would be. That would

358
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: be a fantastic situation for Mike mcdaniel, which is the case.

359
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Defense, though, has the number one D v O A,

360
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: and I think that's the difference for me. Why? Last

361
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: year I struggle to believe in the bills as a

362
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: complete a FC dominant like entry, because of the defensive times,

363
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: and you know, they had that game last year, really

364
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: lost to Jacksonville. This team, to me, feels immune from

365
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: letdowns like that, and it has to do with the defense.

366
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: And My one concern, though, is their their secondary is

367
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: banged up right now. They really have issues and Micah

368
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: Hyde is banged up. Dane Jackson has the next situation,

369
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: and you're going against what we obviously know with this

370
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: Miami past defense is essentially like an eruption of points

371
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: and yardage. And so Ken Buffalo. Is that the one

372
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: week link for Buffalo? Can they can they stop with

373
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: what Tyreek Hill and Jillen waddle can do? Yeah, Injury

374
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: Update Jackson Hyde and Jordan Poyer, who I think is

375
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: more likely to play. Poyer, that is that did not

376
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Uh so that's three starters,

377
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: including one at cornerback, where you are already thin, but

378
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: their pass thus to this point has made up for it.

379
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: That that's been the revelation to your point, mark, that

380
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: not only is von Miller just like looking like he

381
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: was with the rams last year. I guess I wasn't

382
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: totally ready for that for some reason. I was thinking,

383
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, von Miller's had some ups and downs later

384
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: in his career, but he is still the world destroying

385
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: von Miller right now and he's helping out boogie Bashan

386
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: and a j e Panessa and Greg Russau had a

387
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: monster game money night and suddenly that that's in the mix.

388
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: When I get Oliver gets back as one of the

389
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: best defensive lines in the League, and then you can

390
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: survive with your secondary here, but maybe not against Tua

391
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: UH and tyreek Hill and Jalen waddle running down the

392
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: field like if you don't have guys covering them, I

393
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: don't care how good your pass rushes. Yeah, that was

394
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: obviously there's so much to be impressed by by the

395
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: dolphins come back from fourteen down in Baltimore. Uh, for

396
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: that win, it was the wattle and Tyreek Hill. It's

397
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the perfect it's the perfect kind of here's the example

398
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: of how good this could be, where if you have

399
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: a secondary that's in a little bit of trouble and

400
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: a little confused or a little banged up, you are

401
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: absolutely going to wreak havoc, which Baltimore was. Now now

402
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: here is the part of the two experience, because I

403
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: and I totally get it, because after experience like that,

404
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: where you have six touchdown passes, including four on the

405
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: final four possessions, in the fourth quarter. Obviously, now the

406
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: viewpoint is going to be all right, this works, this

407
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: is it. Here's the dude. Give him an extension. But

408
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: the one thing I do want to see from two

409
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: is consistency week to week. Not Six touchdowns in one game, consistency.

410
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: But going against a big time this is a perfect

411
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: timing for this matchup because I can't wait to see

412
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: to uh now, with all the confidence in the world,

413
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: even though claibonce's momentum doesn't exist, the dolphins offense is

414
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: feeling completely proud and full of themselves, entering this game

415
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: humming on all cylinders. So what happens now when they

416
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: get a bill's defense that just to race their first

417
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: two opponents? And you know they're they're number one of

418
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: the power rankings the bills, and I was like, when

419
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking watching the Games, like there's nobody in their

420
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: class right now, which is why I think buffalo again

421
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: is going to roll here. But if my him when

422
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: it is going to do it, no, because I think

423
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: it would be disrespectful, after what Miami did in week one,

424
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: for me to lock against them the next week and

425
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: do two locks in a row. I'm open to the

426
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: idea that this offense is taking off and they're gonna

427
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun to watch. But I still

428
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: think the bills are in a class of their own

429
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: and they're gonna show it again. It's the perfect measuring stick.

430
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean for me, Mike mcdaniel, and you know there

431
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: are a lot of Mike mcdaniel fans out there. I

432
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: think he's completely unlocked with two can do because two

433
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: is six touchdowns last week where of his career touchdowns

434
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: in one game, which is why that's both good and bad.

435
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: That shows that he's been kind of a middling producer

436
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: previous to this. I'm wondering, though, if now what we're

437
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: looking at last week. It's not gonna happen every week,

438
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: but Mike mcdaniel might, and he's done this with other quarterbacks.

439
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: He finds a way to turn star players and maximize them.

440
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Because in another situation, tyreek kill goes to the dolphins,

441
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: are under a different coaching staff and he's already grumbling

442
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: because he's not the Kansas City version of tyreek hill. Instead,

443
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: he's much more and I think he's very happy and,

444
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: like everyone the offensive players on this team, think like

445
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be used well, coached well, and if you

446
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: get a better version of Tah which we got last week,

447
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: the dolphins suddenly are very dangerous in the A F

448
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: C East, which a couple of years ago was owned

449
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: by New England, is completely flipped at this point where

450
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: it's buffalo in Miami. Well, the the the idea of

451
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: giving up all those picks for tyreek hill, as he's

452
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: a force multiplayer, that he makes everyone better. We normally

453
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: think quarterbacks make everyone better, but the idea of trading

454
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: for a j brown or trading for Tyree Hill is

455
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: he makes two a better. He makes Jalen waddle better,

456
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: who's also you know, has a chance to take a

457
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: year to leap, and the speed of those two guys

458
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: combined just makes defenses put in a blender because they

459
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: get downfield some of those deeper throws, not just the bombs,

460
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: but like the the fifteen yard intermediate. Those two got

461
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: rid of the ball so fast, but there are already

462
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty yards down the field. It's like, what kind of

463
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: defense is set up to stop that? Either you have

464
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: to back off and they're gonna have these big zones

465
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: and meanwhile chase edmonds can slide in their their running

466
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: game looks good like that's that question. What kind of

467
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: what kind of defense can stop them? I don't know.

468
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: The Patriots in week one they scored thirteen. Sure once

469
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: once you get a week one, I'm willing to not

470
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: give us everyone. But I guess again sometimes that's my

471
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: role in the show. I'm tapping the brakes on this

472
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: now to be an every week thing. But that's why

473
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: I love this matchup. Um, to see if they can

474
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: get into a shootout with Buffalo, because that's the only

475
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: way they win, because we saw what the dolphins defense

476
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: did against Lamar Jackson. Like if that comeback didn't happen, Um,

477
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: the way it went down for Miami, everybody would have

478
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: been talking about Lamar shredding the dolphins defense and lost.

479
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: That was lost. That narrative was lost. That Dolphin's defense.

480
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: You know, you can, you can do well, of course,

481
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: that's a great buff you can't. You can't. I can't

482
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: lock again. No, it's not me. Dan Wasn't willing to

483
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: lock them up, but somebody is. See, you gotta give

484
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: grave digger credit because in both instances we were going

485
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: to say this moves a little bit. Eyebrow raise. Here

486
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: is he trying to get too involved at the top

487
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: of the show, but now he's got the Cincinnati Zoo

488
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: in organic and so again cleared. You're cleared. Hello, heroes.

489
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: After a lost last week, I need to come out

490
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: to one of my favorite places in the world. It's

491
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: my uncle rix house. It's relaxing. I can get deep

492
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: in my thoughts. There's no way greg with his snarky comments,

493
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: it's going to get into my head out here. Zus

494
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: are calling us the Cincinnati Zoo. That's fine, because maybe

495
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: we are much of wild animals being trying to be

496
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: put into cages. But, as you know from the stories,

497
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: we'll scrap and claw and fight each other to get

498
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: that piece of meat. In this case the meat's a

499
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: week three win. So there's not gonna be anymore in fighting.

500
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there will be, but that's us. We're a

501
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: bunch of wild and crazy people and we're feeling a

502
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: little corned right cornered right now. The bottom line is dolphins.

503
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: It looked great this year and they're at home against

504
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: the mighty bills. Oh no way. The bills to stay hot,

505
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS DOWN IN MIAMI. Lock it up.

506
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: Um Okay, my favorite thing about this. I don't know

507
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: how many takes that was. That was beautiful. But after

508
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: he appeared last week on NFL network, Nick texted us

509
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: a little with a little bit of anxiety, thinking he

510
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: didn't know he's gonna be on, and he sort of

511
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: filmed it in the room. This time around. He's got

512
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: a nice button down shirt. I think he had makeup on.

513
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: I know. I think he's he's the second is getting

514
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: longer and longer. He's prepared now. That was positively cinematic.

515
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: I felt like I was watching a p t a film.

516
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: That's where Um Chris is a is are one of

517
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: Chris's maybe favorite places in the entire world. There aren't

518
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: and uncles, and for him to deliver a performance like that,

519
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm speechless. Give him the best actor award.

520
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: Do that every week, Nick, who knows, maybe we need

521
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: you in the studio. All right, let's take a break

522
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: and the draft rolls on. Yeah, all right, welcome back.

523
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: Week three preview. The old Zuser is up with the

524
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: second overall pick in the draft. And guess what, guess what,

525
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do what you think I'm gonna do,

526
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: because I know, I know, it's sitting out there in

527
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: the late window. It's fun. It's got two legendary quarterbacks

528
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: squaring off down at Raymond James Stadium and Tampa. But

529
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: I am going to leave that for Greg and I

530
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: am instead of going to go with a team that

531
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: has captured my imagination really since the summer, the Detroit Lions,

532
00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: who now visit the Minnesota Vikings. Tell me why, sir.

533
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you, because I think that are

534
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: battling for that. I think these are two very interesting,

535
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: intriguing teams. The lions, they are. They scored thirty five

536
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: points in the opener. Nearly, you know, I wouldn't said

537
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: they nearly beat the eagles, but they gave the eagles

538
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: a scare. Then they, you know, stick it to the commanders,

539
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: hang thirty six points on them and there was nothing

540
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Washington could do in that game. Every time the commanders

541
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: in the second half try to make that a game,

542
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, who, by the way, is the offensive coordinator

543
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: the lions, doesn't get a lot of love. Send that

544
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: offense out there and they just answered. And you have

545
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: a you have a Um quarterback and jared goff that

546
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: I know there's a idea of jared goff. But then

547
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: there's the reality with Jared Goff that you really can

548
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: have a high functioning offense if you have him in

549
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: the right position. Played a great game last week and

550
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: and I don't even mean that in the way that

551
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: I've said about Baker Mayfield in the past. Room's say, oh,

552
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: Baker could be okay with a really good surrounding cast. No,

553
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: Jarkov could be legitimately good with a surrounding cast, and

554
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: we we've seen that, especially last week. You threw four

555
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, no turnovers, a mom Ross St Brown, who

556
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: had a hundred and eighty four total yards and two

557
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: touchdowns in week two. Um, he's starting to look like

558
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: a legitimate number one wide receiver, not just their best

559
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but are real number one potentially. And deandre swift,

560
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: even with limited touches, was an absolent, absolute menace to Washington.

561
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: So now you get the Minnesota Vikings here, uh Greggy,

562
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: a team that everyone was on board in week one

563
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: and then they they completely crater on Monday night football

564
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: with another terrible cousins performance in prime time. So I

565
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: want to see kind of which version of the Vikings

566
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: shows up. Um, I think this is another fun game

567
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna see a lot of points

568
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: bang the over, whatever it is. I like that analysis.

569
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: I agree and you're right. I can see it being

570
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: another wild game that Danny gets and ends up being

571
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: higher and son and draft than we expect, because something

572
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: crazy's gonna happen in this game. Cousins will be up

573
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: and down. I'm curious if the lions will be as

574
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: aggressive blitzing him as the eagles were. That's not really

575
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: what the eagles do and Kirk was not handling it well.

576
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: That's not traditionally Um like the way to just like

577
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: go after kirk cousins, who usually is good decision maker,

578
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: makes like a lot of veteran quarterbacks, like knows where

579
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: to go against man coverage. But he was lost. And

580
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: the lions are a scheme defense to me. They they

581
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: don't quite have the personnel they they confused Washington Upfront

582
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: for a while last week and then the commanders went

583
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: up and down the field in the second half. So

584
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: they've been very up and down and I think they

585
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: have to win with scheme. But I think it's dangerous

586
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: if they do this blitz happy strategy again against Kirk,

587
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I mean we talked about correctly

588
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: last week, the eagles being one secondary that might have

589
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: a chance to slow down Justin Jefferson, and they did, obviously,

590
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: and as they can do man coverage right then they

591
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: were a good matchup. I'm not sure that's the case

592
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: with the lions at all. I mean we've seen them.

593
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: They're scoring a lot of points. They're also giving up

594
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: points in a flood. But I do like the matchup

595
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: for Detroit and I'm with you Dan. This is a

596
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: this is a team that's captured my imagination to the

597
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: their offensive line, their run game dominant. It's a great

598
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: situation for Jared Goff because of how balanced they are

599
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: and you're playing of Vikings run defense that is thirty

600
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: in D v O A and you can run on them.

601
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: And so I like the Matchup for Detroit and I'm

602
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: with you on golf. I mean, you know, it's easy

603
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: to be suspicious of him in general, uh, and the

604
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: lions got him as a patch, as a stop gap,

605
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: but the way he played last week he fits in

606
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: this offense. And Aman Ross Brown, who has had eight

607
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: plus catches and a touchdown in six plus games, is

608
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: hyper productive and quietly a star inside this offense. I

609
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: just think that that what they've done points wise is

610
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: no fluke. They're gonna be doing it all year long

611
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: and they're a dangerous matchup if you can't stop the run. Yeah,

612
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: I watch them pick on Jordan Hicks, the Vikings Linebacker,

613
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: who is just getting destroyed on on Monday night and

614
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be starting right now. It's like that's that's

615
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: what a lot of offenses are doing right now, looking

616
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: for that second linebacker. It's why you're afraid to play

617
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: two linebackers right now. And you got Hockenson, you got

618
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: swift and you've got a good coaching stuff. I'm not

619
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: quite there with you guys. And Jared Goff, I wouldn't

620
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: even go as far to say that I thought he

621
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: played particularly well last week. I think the scheme, but

622
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't think what did he do wrong? I mean

623
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: can you missed a lot of throws and may didn't

624
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: always make great decisions, but just what I mean is

625
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he's played. It's amazing that I don't

626
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: think Jared Goff has played any different than he normally

627
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: plays and they're putting up thirty five plus. You can

628
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: look at that as a positive. They're not a quarterback

629
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: central offense. I mean I'm not saying like he's a

630
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: lights out stud now, but he's obviously helping the offense move.

631
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: He's not holding them back, in my opinion. But no

632
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: doubt this will be another good test. There were there

633
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: were times in that game, and I think lions fans

634
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: were with hi, where they were kind of frustrated with

635
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: them and it's crazy they're putting up over thirty five.

636
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: It's a credit to their coaching staff. Um Rodrigo, by

637
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: the way, PFF's top ranked defensive rookie. Last week, really

638
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: we had a monster game. Yeah, he's all right, Um,

639
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: and that was the worst. There have been bad cousins performances,

640
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: but he could have thrown five interceptions on Monday like

641
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: he was. He was a deer in the headlights. It

642
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: should not be happening for a guy that's been around

643
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: as long as he has. One less note on the lions,

644
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: and again it goes back to that kind of the

645
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: team of a t L. I think is that fair?

646
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: If we want to do it, I think let's let's

647
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: do it to the team of around the NFL. We

648
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: have not had a team of around in the NFL

649
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: in about three seasons because we just stopped the Green Um.

650
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Dan Skipper from hard knocks was the center who when

651
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: they did the montage in episode five, Um, they did

652
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: some quick cuts nfl films and they showed him Um

653
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: on the verge of tears when he was told he

654
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: was being cut. He had been uh, six years basically

655
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Thought he was gonna make it.

656
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: Didn't make it. And one thing, and he said a

657
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: line that really stuck with me in that finale you

658
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: could hear is his lip was almost quivering and he says,

659
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, is there anything I can do? And then

660
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: they cut away from it, which I talked you know, graver,

661
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: you're the producer of the hard knocks podcast with me

662
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: and Connie. I thought that was like a show of

663
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: like kind of growth of hard knocks as an entity

664
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: for not kind of living in that moment hardcore and

665
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: like letting that guy hang out to dry on premium cable.

666
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: It just hinted at it. And then it turns out

667
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: he went from getting cut from the final fifty three

668
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: to starting on Sunday. He graded out pretty well on

669
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: PFF and after the game in the Locker Room during

670
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: the Post Game Um, this went down with Dan Campbell.

671
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: That's pretty good shot. And it's just like the empathy

672
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: that in that building, and it's all coming from the

673
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: top with Dan Campbell. It's legit and and and pass

674
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: hard knocks. You would see a coaching stepper. I feel like,

675
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: pretend that they really cared about the players. Uh, this

676
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: organization there's just a lot of feel good vibes and

677
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: I think it's translating. It's the perfect team for around

678
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: the NFL this season. And skipper six FT nine. He

679
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: barely fits in the door, so I don't know how

680
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: you get to get his lip to quiver unless something

681
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: saying a big man can't be emotional. Now I'm happy

682
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: to see that that he that he's in touch with

683
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 1: his emotion. It's a big moment, not only getting around

684
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: the NFL team of a Tl but hey, go get

685
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: a winning record. There's six point underdogs in this game.

686
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: I picked them to the last game. I like them

687
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: to win this game. Cousins, after what we saw on Monday.

688
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: The winnable game. Let's go, let's go be special line.

689
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't like the way I put that actually because cousins,

690
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: the prime time thing is real. Cousins on a Sunday

691
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: early of a bad loss in his building could absolutely

692
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: go off with Justin Jefferson again. Anyway, we gotta keep moving,

693
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: Greg and the draft turns to you. Yeah, I guess

694
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: I'll take uh bucks packers. I gotta. I just feel like,

695
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: for the integrity of the board, have another Sunday with

696
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: my Guy Tommy and, uh, I'm really feeling like another

697
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: Sunday with my Guy Greg Olson. I am enjoying the

698
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: Greg Olson experience once again. The eighty offense right now

699
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: is so weird. UH, they're missing so many pieces, not

700
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: just up front that we have talked about, but also

701
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is still out of practice this week. Mike

702
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: Evans is suspended, uh, for this game. Like Godwin is

703
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna be out. Most likely he was out of practice.

704
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: Gauge hasn't been a hundred percent healthy. He's throwing deep

705
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: to Scotty Miller and yet they like have been problem solving.

706
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: And Uh, his numbers are bizarre. He is second in

707
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: the NFL only behind Jimmy Garoppolo, his his former pupil. UH,

708
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: in time to throw get rid of the ball quickly.

709
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: That's what Tom Brady is doing to protect himself. But

710
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: he's fourth in the NFL and average depth of targets. So,

711
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: even though I didn't even understand how that works, how

712
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: he's getting rid of the ball that quickly and yet

713
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball that deep, I think he's spinning

714
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: it quite well. I have developing news. Okay, Oh, this

715
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: coming directly from the news room. David Eally, okay, director

716
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: of News, making up them title, but it's up slightly accurate, somewhat.

717
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: Senior editor of news. NFL MEDIA UM reports tweets that

718
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was favoring his bruised ring finger in practice,

719
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: leading to questions after today's practice. Thursday he downplayed it

720
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: to the media. said it feels great, but also called

721
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: a ring finger. At this point we don't know what's

722
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: going on with that situation. Wow, dude, what, wow, I'll

723
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: just leave it. That's my news report anyway. It's just

724
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: something to track. That's that's that's worrying. He did practice

725
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: the Wednesday after all those reports how he was going

726
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: to skip practice Wednesdays. Remember that. He answered it. One thing, though,

727
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: it's like the bucks are going to try to win

728
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: with running and defense, and that's basically how the packers

729
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: are trying to win. It's very strange. Aaron Rodgers, you know,

730
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady both trying to win with running defense.

731
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: But it's like Aaron Rodgers and Matt Lafleur. They they're

732
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: trying to like adapt to this life. Tom Brady and

733
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: the balls of sons, they were born in it. They

734
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: love a little running in defense. I think the bucks

735
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: can do this. They've been a tough watch, but I

736
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: think they're you're right. Their defense is what's carrying them

737
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: right now. I I think if you're if you're Aaron Rodgers, though,

738
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: the play of Aaron Jones and a j dillon, that's

739
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: what this team needs to be like what they did

740
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: against Chicago. And Aaron Jones has become much bigger part

741
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: of the passing game because their second leading receiver last

742
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: week and he's done a good job with that. So

743
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: the packers, you're right, are they look different, they feel

744
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: different and it's interesting, but you don't need a lean

745
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers, maybe in this offense, to do everything

746
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: by himself. I do wonder if it's the last time

747
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: we'll ever see brady and Aaron Rodgers played each other.

748
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: It's too early in the season. They're both of these

749
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: teams are undercooked there. They like both of these teams.

750
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: I very much feel I don't even care what happens

751
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: in September. I just feel like they're gonna be so

752
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: much different. But it's it's different for Tampa Bay because

753
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: they're playing around the lack of personnel. It's an injury situation.

754
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: When they're all healthy they'll be up different. Even when

755
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: they're like putting together the schedule and they're like how

756
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: do we want to lay out the beginning of the season?

757
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: It's like, alright, bear is definitely week two, primetime against

758
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: the packers. Like, Oh, what about Tom Brady versus and Rogers? No,

759
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: stick that in the late window on the following Sunday.

760
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: You got you gotta take care of Fox too. You

761
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: know more people, more people watch those games that. You know,

762
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: we got taken care of this week, taken behind the

763
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: woodshed shed and like slapped on the wrist with a ruler.

764
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians Evans, for you know. Well, I was gonna

765
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: say reasons unknown, but there was a little more backstory

766
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: now to it. Arians was on the sideline. He was

767
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: on the white by the you know, he's basically inbounds,

768
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: yelling at an official at one point and the NFL

769
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: had to send a warning about his conduct on the sideline,

770
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: a letter of reprimand, a reprimand letter. And then this is.

771
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: This is I liked from todd bowls, so I really do.

772
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: Despite not working out in New York, I liked todd

773
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: bowls a lot. We ran into each other in the

774
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: lobby at the combine at the hotel and he asked

775
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: me where the hotel lobby Um lady was. I said, Oh, todd,

776
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: right down there, and then he looked at me like

777
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: do I know you? And then he didn't and he

778
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: kept walking, but just the nice exchange. He's looking great,

779
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: very fit these days. Here's what he had to say.

780
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the Um the here's what balls had

781
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: to say when I asked about it. He's normally upstairs.

782
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: This was the one time he was downstairs. How he

783
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: said is exactly my inflection as well. Usually we handle

784
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: our sideline pretty good. Everybody got I rate. We gotta

785
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: have better composure on the sideline as players and coaches.

786
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: By the way, Bruce, you're neither go upstairs. I thought

787
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: part of the reason was that they did not provide

788
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: them a suite because the general, nnerger, was down there.

789
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: Take I liked it. It's gamesmanship from New Orleans. They

790
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: would not grant adjacent light the GM or Arians with

791
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: their own suite. They only offered them press box. So

792
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: they said F that, don't disrespect us, so they went

793
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: down out to the sideline. It's all sorts of petty.

794
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: It goes back to why that's a great so you

795
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: have Bruce Arians being taken behind a wood shed and

796
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: slapped with a ruler. That's an odd punishment. I don't

797
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: that's not put in the press box all the time.

798
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if that was like

799
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: a new but not bruce. I'm going down to the

800
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: sideline and I'm gonna give this official, you know, place.

801
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: In my mind he's now playing the role that you've

802
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: you've brought up with some like grand parents or like

803
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: older figures that it's like, you know, when they get

804
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: older and here's you almost gotta be worried what they're

805
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna do around around other people. It's like he's just

806
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of a wild card. You gotta Watch

807
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: out for old GRANDPA Bruce Coach hanging around on the sideline.

808
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: It was a great netflix comedy special. I'm upset now

809
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: that he tells a story about his dad forgetting to

810
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: close the door when they go to a restaurant, when

811
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: they park. Uh. and He's like he saw dad leave

812
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: the door open and he's like, uh, dad can't be

813
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: in charge anymore. Alright, uh, great, all right, I'm choosing

814
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: chiefs and Colts because I haven't had a Tony Romo game. Uh,

815
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: and I want to just be in I haven't been.

816
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: I do really want to watch this game because the

817
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: colts are a cornered animal and I am I'm like

818
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: newly intrigued by the chiefs. Not that I needed to

819
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: be excited to watch Patrick Mahomes play football, but they're

820
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: just a team where we've seen two different performances, both

821
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: being intriguing in both of these two weeks. They could

822
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: blow the doors off the colts and I would be entertained.

823
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: Or this could be a sneaky close game, which wouldn't

824
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: surprise me because it means so much of the colts

825
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: and they have to get it ready. But more than anything, yeah,

826
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: I just missed Tony. It's been three weeks. I haven't

827
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: had them yet and I want them. I don't think

828
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a close game, although I mean

829
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: this is essentially I don't I don't like saying this

830
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: in week three, but the colts go down here in

831
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: their Oh and three and they've lost three games convincingly.

832
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: Like I I just I think that's sort of their season.

833
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: On some level. This will make or break them how

834
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: they respond because because of the division, I'm with you,

835
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: because of the division. I feel like it's changed in

836
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: the south. They went on a run last year when but,

837
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: but they patrick mahomes has been awesome against Gus Bradley

838
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: is a defensive coordinator. It's not a good matchup there.

839
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: The chiefs can rush the Pastor Matt Ryan, to me,

840
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: has been the most depressing quarterback watch in the League

841
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: and I think he looks he's been under durest non stop.

842
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: You throw a ton of terrible interceptions last week because

843
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: of that, Jonathan Taylor did not get going in the

844
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: first half and I don't think that, like in terms

845
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: of game script, that it's really a Jonathan Taylor type game.

846
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: If you're down fourteen, nothing in the first quarter. I

847
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: don't know what to like about Indianapolis in this. I

848
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: mean they haven't nothing that they've shown on the field

849
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: so far. Just teams played differently. UH, they need to protect.

850
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably get pittman back. It sounds like

851
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: he's practiced, which would be big. Maybe their rookie Alice peers.

852
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: But you mentioned Gus Bradley. That's the depressing part, is

853
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: that it's not only the protection for the colts in

854
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: the offense Gus Bradley. It's just a tough watches defensive

855
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: coordinator because he just kind of lets you eat those

856
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: eight yard games. And that's how the chiefs even in

857
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: bad year. Dan last year when when mahomes played Gus Brodley,

858
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: he put up to forty burgers in prime time. I

859
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: know that was with the raiders, but it's I felt

860
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: the same watching Trevor Lawrence just pick a part uh

861
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: the colts last week. This is also a slightly sort

862
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: of an Andy Reid by week because they've got they've

863
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: had a lot of time off and Andy Reid is

864
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: excellent coming off of extra time to prepare. By the way,

865
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs Lose Willie Gay for four games suspension. Uh, that's

866
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: a big loss. It was one of, if not their

867
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: their best defensive players a week ago. Like that's a position,

868
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: off ball, linebacker, they've struggled with over the years and

869
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: they finally found, like they found a good group with

870
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: him in Bolton and they'll miss him for four weeks.

871
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: The beginning of the telecast of the Colts Jaguars game

872
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: when they were talking about, Oh, you know, the cults,

873
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: they'll figure this out without Michael Pittman, the Heem Hims

874
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: will be more involved in the passing game, and it

875
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: was like, Oh uh, and they even had the first completion.

876
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: But in general, like yeah, if you're gonna if this

877
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: is gonna be the protection you give Matt Ryan, if

878
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be the skill group you're gonna

879
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: give around him, like the first interception he through when

880
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: he didn't kind of put himself into throw and try

881
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: to sneak, went in with off his back foot from midfield.

882
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: It was easily intercepted. He can't make a lot of

883
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: different throws at this stage of his career. Things need

884
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: to be set up well for him and they haven't been. Uh,

885
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: not good, not good at all. Not a great pick

886
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: by greg either. I thought strange. Could have gotten that

887
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: later in the draft, I think. I mean you could

888
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: have taken lions vikings at any point. No, no, because

889
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: I know, uh, I know Um. Certainly you, certainly you're

890
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: into it. No, I would not have taken that. That

891
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: would not have been in my topic. Correct. I might,

892
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: but but were you picking between his two picks? Now

893
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: you were not. No, but I'm saying I didn't want to.

894
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you weren't going to do it.

895
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: Take what you want. Don't worry Abou, unless you take

896
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: the cults. Fourth. Overall, there's are's mistake. Endless critiquing of

897
00:44:55,160 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: other people's choices on this draft and zone. I almost surprised,

898
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: but I guess I will. I will grab a late

899
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: game now again. People think that I don't know what

900
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: people think. Some people know what Zeuser thinks, because I

901
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: did an a m a on the around the NFL.

902
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: Read it yesterday. Check that out. Like over four questions,

903
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: I believe, came in. I got to as many as

904
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: I could. Check that out. Did you reveal anything of

905
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: a personal nature about you? Mostly, yes, I'm gonna have

906
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: to read this. Yes, very, very personal things about you

907
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: were Um. So check that out. I have to grab

908
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: before what I was gonna say is we're actually watching

909
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: these games that were drafting on Sunday. So you need to,

910
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: when you draft, make sure you got your two windows covered.

911
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: Now the late window for me. I'm gonna take something

912
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: and I like rams at cardinals at State Farm Stadium,

913
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: at sticking it to sessy always good, just like in

914
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: fantasy football dress and you could stick it to the

915
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: guy that's right behind you. It almost justifies everything. It

916
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: does the matter anymore. Non Plus, because that was exactly

917
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: where I was gonna go. But tell me why you

918
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: picked it. All right, so I picked the game because, yes,

919
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 1: and I did or rewatched the rams, and I know, Mark,

920
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: you were pretty hot in the pants about it, ants

921
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: and the pants about the rams nearly blowing that game

922
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, and I still kind of came out

923
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: of it like yeah, they were up three, you know

924
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: that they did. They were taking care of business and

925
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: then they got complacent, a little sloppy and gave up

926
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: a special teams touchdown. Uh, and then needed jalen Ramsey

927
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: to high point that interception at the end. So not

928
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: a not a stellar kickoff to their their title defense

929
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: by any stretch, but they did get that win. Uh.

930
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: So they entered this game one and one. The cardinals.

931
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: We know what happened on Sunday, come back from twenty

932
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: down and the half to to beat the raiders. So

933
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: I think this will be a good test here. Which

934
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: version two teams that you have? There are definitely reasons

935
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: to be concerned about them and you could look at

936
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: them one way and be like, Oh, I don't know,

937
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: these teams kind of seem like they'll be also rams

938
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: come January. Or are you look at a different way

939
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, I can make a case for

940
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: either of these teams making a deep run into January.

941
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: Let's see where they're at in week three. Let's fly.

942
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean the one thing here, after the way that

943
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: last season ended for the cardinals in Los Angeles with

944
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: a depressing playoff loss. It was about the titans on

945
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: Monday night football. That's how bad a playoff game was

946
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: for the cardinals. In January, we were there, and it's

947
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: been a theme against the Rams. McVeigh owns, cliff, Kingsbury,

948
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: six and one against them. In five of those games

949
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: the rams scored thirty or more and this cardinals defense,

950
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: for whatever happened last week, I know it ended with

951
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: the defensive play to end the game. Their defense has

952
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: been a massive mess and so I like this because

953
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't sketchy about the rams offense last week, it

954
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: was their defense. And I don't know if you're gonna

955
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 1: get Arizona's offensive performance and what you got from Kyler

956
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: Murray on a week to week basis, because I still

957
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: factor in week one and how messy and disorganized they look,

958
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: and the rams have done that to Arizona over and over.

959
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: But what I love about last week because I was

960
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: wondering at some point can Kyler Murray lift the offense

961
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: on his own, because there they've just been a mess.

962
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: And what happened last week was Kyler Murray playing the

963
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: kind of game where you believe he can do almost anything.

964
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 1: Can he double down and do it against this rams

965
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: defense this week? We'll see. They needed his legs to

966
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: turn that game around, and you do wonder. made a

967
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: couple of amazing throws too, right, but even a lot

968
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: of those throws were because he was running around and

969
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: it was out of structure and and I think they

970
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: had some design runs. He had some scrambles and then

971
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: you have the plays like the two point conversion. I

972
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: mean the two point conversions were a perfect encapsulation what

973
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: makes kyler so great, because one is with the legs.

974
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 1: It's outrageous, and the other it was just a pure

975
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: throw from the pocket that I don't know if a

976
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: six FT two quarterback could have made. You needed to

977
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: be short to get it through that little window there.

978
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: Maybe not. Um, he's ridiculous. And yet I don't know

979
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: if they they're comfortable leaning into his legs as like

980
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: a base part of their offense. They've definitely gone away

981
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: from it over the last right he keeps getting hurt,

982
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: so I don't know what they do. Well, like the

983
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: fact that they went the whole offseason talking about building

984
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: a defense around Isaiah Simmons and then they benched them

985
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: for week two. For the most part, I don't like

986
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: this defense at all. I love the history of what

987
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: the rams have brought to the table. I love that McVeigh,

988
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 1: just to feel alive, is playing squar neck at fullback

989
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: for twenty snaps and it's working, and that's why I'm

990
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: locking up the rams. Very Nice, very nice. Got's a lock. Hey,

991
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: the Isaiah Simmons, former first round pick. He had the fumble,

992
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: forced fumble in overtime, but he was bench for most

993
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: of that game and I thought it was interesting. They

994
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: asked about Isaiah Simmons on Monday. Here's what cliff Kingsbury

995
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: had to say. I think he's giving us with Flash.

996
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, like that's he can be

997
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: as good as he wants. I'll say that and he

998
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: knows that. He knows that's how we feel about him.

999
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: We've we've addressed it many times. I think Um, it's

1000
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: a commitment to football all day every day and being

1001
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: the best possible player you can be. And you see

1002
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: the flashes. I just thought that was really interest thing. Um,

1003
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: another first round pick of the cardinal was another guy

1004
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: that's vitally important to what they're trying to do. When

1005
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: you have the organization publicly saying you need to be

1006
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: more invested in into what's going on here, uh, just

1007
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: notable to me. I would after that point not I

1008
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: had not heard that. Maybe they should send him over

1009
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: to Kyler's for study group in power rankings, because I

1010
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: actually wrote about it. I did not see that in

1011
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: the power that's for you probably did read it. But

1012
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: then it just went into do you read? Are The articles?

1013
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure you read NFL dot com slash game picks

1014
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: this week. Everything, everything, all right. Let's Uh take a

1015
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. All right, let's keep

1016
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: moving here, Mark Sessler, the floor is yours. I am

1017
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: going to select the late game. As you said, we

1018
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: got a structure these days. Jacksonville at the chargers thought

1019
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: about it. Nearly pulled the trigg Jacksonville's about it. They

1020
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: become interesting. I mean, I think Trevor Lawrence. Last week

1021
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: we finally got the game that you were waiting for,

1022
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: because it was a week, two weeks situation where Lawrence,

1023
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: for all the things he does well, just missing two

1024
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: or three throws that you want back each week, and

1025
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: that was not the case last week. He played a

1026
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: really clean game. Can you possibly, if you're the Jaguars,

1027
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: hang with Justin Herbert and the charger's offense? Herbert's definitely

1028
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: playing well. I mean I see no reason why I

1029
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: want this becomes like kind of terrible if Justin, but

1030
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he is, chargers games should be banned without

1031
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert until twenty seven. Did you hear what happened

1032
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: with the UH, not to get too off track, the

1033
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: last quarterback for the chargers assuing the team, tyrod Taylor,

1034
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: for the injection he received before a week one or

1035
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: two UH in Herbert's rookie year. That led to one

1036
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 1: being deactivated with a lung issue of some kind. Uh.

1037
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: Now ongoing litigation about that, which basically wally piped him

1038
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: out of a job. Herbert was Lou Garrick. To this Um,

1039
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: wally pip feels like he's got a strong case. And well,

1040
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: you know what even crazier is? That was from my

1041
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: rib cartilage injury and there's been some talk that's the

1042
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: exact type of pregame shot that Justin Herbert may need

1043
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: to get four this week's game. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

1044
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: I agree. Hopefully different maybe a different doctor this time. Anyway,

1045
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: go on, Mark. Well, I just I mean Jacksonville's defense

1046
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: is for real too, and that they have the number

1047
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: three D v o a defense and and to me

1048
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a just in measuring stick for Jacksonville

1049
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: under Doug Peterson. It was last week they dominated the

1050
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: cults over and over, but I would want to see

1051
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 1: what they can do against Justin Josh Allen is doing things.

1052
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: You got the trade, trade one Walker. I'm doing things. Yeah, this,

1053
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: this is interesting. I'm feeling really good about my sandwich

1054
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: prop that the Jaguars are in the playoff mix in

1055
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: week eighteen, because you look at what's going on in

1056
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: this division, even by a F C south, your muffs

1057
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: grave digger, even by a F C south standards, this

1058
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: is not good. Houston's bad. The cults are totally lost,

1059
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 1: the titans are a team without an identity right now.

1060
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: And then there's the Jaguars, who look frisky. The quarterback

1061
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: looked a lot better in week two. Christian Kirk looks

1062
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: like a good signing. James Robinson's making play, Travis Atienna

1063
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: is going to continue to get better, uh, and the

1064
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: defense is making plays. This is spicy. Yeah, this is

1065
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: the show me week, because it's they've never won a

1066
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: road game with Lawrence. Uh, it's it's Lawrence versus Herbert,

1067
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: which is an unfair comparison for any rookie quarterback, but

1068
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean any young quarterback. But Hey, this was supposed

1069
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: to be a generational guy. Let's let's see you build

1070
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: on that very solid performance a week ago. But they've

1071
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: done it against the commander's defense and they've done it

1072
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: against the colts defense. Is a big step up in

1073
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: class for the Jaguars offense specifically. I think this chargers

1074
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: defense is very sound. They made life difficult and if

1075
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: trevor and this offense can look frisky again this week,

1076
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: and you're right there, you're using Kirk really well. James

1077
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: Robinson off that Achilles surgery impressive like. If they can

1078
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: look even just solid, put up to any three points

1079
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: and make the game close, I'll feel a lot better

1080
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: about this. This Lauren team. But this is a much

1081
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: bigger test. I did check go get my lunch dot

1082
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: org to double check that this morning. You guys both

1083
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: took me on those sandwiches too. What was it again?

1084
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: That they're just gonna BE gonna be mathematically postseason eligible

1085
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: by week eight? Team. Okay, I mean I took you

1086
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: on everything like. I don't disagree with the fact that

1087
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: they were. I thought they would be frisky this year.

1088
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: By the way, J C Jackson, who returned quickly for

1089
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: that Thursday game with the ankle injury and then really

1090
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: hurt them, was one of their worst defenders. Might Miss this.

1091
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. Over there might miss this

1092
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: game to the chargers know what they're doing. Between what

1093
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: happened with Herbert at the end of the game. J

1094
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: C Jackson is a free agent acquisition at the highest

1095
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: level and you're kind of rushing them back for a

1096
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night football game. Radar, radars up, sessler, alright, gonna

1097
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: go eagles at the commander's I think Jalen hurts might

1098
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: be the most exciting development in the NFL right now.

1099
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: I just absolutely love what I saw on Monday night

1100
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: and Washington the Eagles in general feel like an NFC title.

1101
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: Would you please shut up? I am begging you to

1102
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: shut up. Got That one too. I don't know what

1103
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: to make of Washington now. I don't want to make

1104
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: of Washington because it's like they are so streaky and

1105
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: I and yet this version of Carson Wentz kind of

1106
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: works for me. I mean, you're gonna get two or

1107
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: three plays a game where he's gonna kill you, but

1108
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: they're fun, they're productive and to me, if you were

1109
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: the cults, you would much rather want have this version

1110
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz than what we're getting with Matt Ryan

1111
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: Right now. It's funny, like the thing. It's funny. People

1112
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: were so hung up on the last two games of

1113
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: the season uh in Indianapolis, that they forgot that this

1114
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: is kind of who Carson Wentz always is. He's very streaky.

1115
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: He will make your offense stuck in mud for one

1116
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: half and then throw two or three touchdowns on four

1117
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: drives in the second half. Probably not a championship quarterback,

1118
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: but also not quite as help. He kind of turtle

1119
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 1: three out of his last four games. It was how

1120
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: it ended. He became a huge problem. But these first

1121
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: two games, yeah, he's been up and down, but he's

1122
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: been okay. But that's who he is, like the UPSTAR.

1123
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 1: I think that, I guess this is what I mean.

1124
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: The downs suck like the lows with this guy are brutal,

1125
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: but I think the highs are a little higher than

1126
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: people give him credit. I agree with you. This is

1127
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: the first time he decided to really go ahead and

1128
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: start to take command. He had started two at times.

1129
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: I wish this game was in Philadelphia. Um, that would

1130
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: that would be fun. You know, you could follow up

1131
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: the Jalen Reagor Booze, I mean Carson Wentz. They're they're

1132
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna go crazy when he comes into town. This is

1133
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: the Martij Brown, by the way, in the postgame interview

1134
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: and they asked him about it. Oh yeah, all these

1135
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: different celebrities and he's like yeah, man, Philly's lit. It

1136
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: was a nice philly moment, I will say. As much

1137
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: as we talked about the Jalen Reagor stuff like that,

1138
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 1: nice philly moment on Monday night that was a part.

1139
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely was. It was like that Michael Vick money night

1140
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: game and I think this team has more stay in

1141
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: power Um and I think they're gonna really test Washington's communication.

1142
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: They lost their center last week. Chase rulier, who's one

1143
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: of their better offensive Lineman, is now out for the season,

1144
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: I believe, or at least he's on injured reserve. Uh,

1145
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: and that is how you get after Carson Wentz like

1146
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: test whether he can get the protection set, test his

1147
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: pocket presence. See if you communicate. And they have guys

1148
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: up front. They got hardgrave, they got Fletcher Cox, like

1149
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: their Defense Holding. Uh, you know the Vikings. The seven

1150
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: points almost got lost in the in the jalen hurts excitement,

1151
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: but they're very deep up front and then on the

1152
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: back end their defense looked like the Washington defense a

1153
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: year ago, just like a whole lot of people looking

1154
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: at each other being like, you got him. Oh wait,

1155
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: did you have him? Do I got him. And then

1156
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: the eagles, more than almost any offense in the league

1157
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: right now, I think, really test you because of their

1158
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: run pass options and and just being really sound in yours.

1159
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: Like this isn't a spot for Carson Wentz to be

1160
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: down twenty eight points and coming back. I mean the

1161
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: Washington's defense gave up two forty one yards midway through

1162
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: the second quarter a week ago. So they're very vulnerable

1163
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: and I think the Eagles, to me, are one of

1164
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: the most explosive offenses round because Jalen hurts can kill

1165
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: you in so many different ways. M M Hmmm, number

1166
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: three in the power I use the eagles. They are

1167
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: I think we're all in on them. Greggy credit, you

1168
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: were in a little earlier, although you're always in on

1169
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: the Eagle. So it's like, at what point did you

1170
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: just say? Well, he's perpetually in F Y. I. They

1171
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: were more, more, though. They were Super Bowl Mar what

1172
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: about on the podcast? I know on the website universal

1173
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: I had them lose the Super Bowl, though, so I'm

1174
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: not quite in, but you were throughout the off season

1175
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: and my excitement was was with hurts too. I did

1176
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: have him in the playoffs a year ago. But to

1177
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: your point, I'm always that you're doing universal picks now

1178
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: for the website and the podcast on TV, because you've

1179
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:42,959
Speaker 1: always mixed it up in the I like to mixed

1180
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: up because one of them will probably be right. But no, yeah,

1181
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: you crossed the board. I saw how you sent that

1182
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: to our text group that, like all ten NFL analysts,

1183
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: picked the browns over the jets. And two of them,

1184
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: two of them were on that text. Change, Colleen Wolfe

1185
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: and mark sesl just a little Hay, I see that.

1186
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 1: Somebody said it to me, and what a powerful dunk

1187
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: on you knew when you set that out your old

1188
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: buddy uh six present g over here, had faith in

1189
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: the jets. No love for that. Well, what do you

1190
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: want me to do? And just point that out? How much?

1191
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: How much do you need it? Like it's not enough

1192
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: that singled you out just now. Maybe even a roneous

1193
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: about the eagles, or it's like, what a great job, uh,

1194
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: speaking of the jets. Easy Slam Dunk for me here,

1195
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: because not only is it the jets with some like

1196
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: optimism after the miracle in Um Cleveland. What could go

1197
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: wrong exactly? But there's also we just did a whole

1198
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: episode about who's are the most dangerous cornered animal. Cincinnati Bengals,

1199
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: defending conference champions. So now the O and two bangles

1200
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: traveled to the metal ends to take on the jets.

1201
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: By the way, the last time these two teams played

1202
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: at the metal ends it was the Mike White Game.

1203
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: So the jets, even last year, as bad as they were,

1204
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: beat the Cincinnati Football Club. And now you have a

1205
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: bangles team obviously desk bad. Things are different now. I

1206
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: feel like them. They used to be, especially now there's

1207
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: an extra playoff spot. Oh and three is still deep.

1208
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Due to to be in, but you could climb out,

1209
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: but you certainly do not if you're the Cincinnati Bengals,

1210
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: want to lose three in a row here Um, and

1211
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: not for nothing, if they ever did. You get beat

1212
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: by Pittsburgh, Dallas and jets. It's not like you're you're

1213
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: against the League's powerhouses that you're losing these games. So

1214
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: they really need to take care of business and just

1215
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: to put a final bow on the miraculous nature of

1216
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: the jets, win and I'll say in a positive in

1217
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: a negative way. Uh, the negative it is that they

1218
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: got beat up. The browns has kind of executed their

1219
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: game plan on the jets for fifty eight minutes and

1220
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: the jets look very much like the jets of every

1221
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: season we've done this podcast for most of that game. Um.

1222
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: But there is something to be said for a team

1223
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: and an organization perpetually in the wilderness that now has

1224
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: some actually exciting talent on the roster, that then gets

1225
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: a hugely potentially galvanizing win early in the season that

1226
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: makes them believe a little bit. What kind of version

1227
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: of the jets do we get? Some crazy stats, um,

1228
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: because it was the special teams that won that game

1229
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: more than anything else, when Nick Chubb not taking a knee.

1230
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: But that doesn't bother you. Here's the thing that doesn't

1231
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: bother you at all. It does. It bothers me because

1232
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: that's a coaching breakdown here. I know, I know, it's

1233
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: a random point, but everyone made this point. I feel

1234
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: like it didn't totally watch that play. Like yes, he

1235
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: could have gone out of bounds there and if they

1236
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: had told him before that play, that's probably what he

1237
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: would have done. But he needed to pick up that

1238
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 1: first down and he was making someone miss to pick

1239
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: up that first down. It would have been impossible for

1240
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 1: him to get up the cone. So Anyway, a few

1241
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: fun facts about Brandon Man's on side kick and it

1242
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: was Um uh. For the record, the special teams coach

1243
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: is Brandt Boyer, so shout out to Brandt Boyer for

1244
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: what they were able to do in this game. But

1245
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: they had UM. That was just the sixth successful onside

1246
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: kicking jets history, the first since the first successful onside

1247
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: kicking a jet win since nineteen seventy two. So that

1248
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: was game to do an onside kick late, late in

1249
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the affair. Typically not, but now here I'm leaving. So

1250
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: here we are. Joe FLACCO is the quarterback. Let's see

1251
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,479
Speaker 1: what he can do. Cincinnati obviously has to protect Greg

1252
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: you have to protect burrow and burrow needs to, for

1253
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: his part, do better himself, understanding the situation getting the

1254
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: ball out. Teams are playing Cincinnati differently and that they

1255
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: need to adjust. I'm just so tired of this storyline, like, Oh,

1256
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: you did, you savagely took out the head coach on

1257
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Tuesdayda just we just we just keep talking about the

1258
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: same thing and and you're right about burrow. He struggled

1259
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: last week when he was protected, and that that was

1260
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: the most concerning part. It's not like he's under pressure

1261
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: every single snap. On the snaps where he has had time,

1262
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: uh and where he the pressure never got there at all.

1263
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: They're not really hitting for bigger place. So I think

1264
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: that speaks to your point, Dan, about how defenses are

1265
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: playing them off a little and that they haven't adjusted

1266
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: and that they haven't run the ball very well. Lyle Collins,

1267
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: who Jerry Jones said he watched every single one of

1268
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins, is week one snaps leading into week two.

1269
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins Place for the bengals. Jerry Jones break. Here's

1270
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: what it's about. That was his way of saying this

1271
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: guy is a third I didn't want him. That's why

1272
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I got rid of him. Look how he's playing right

1273
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: now for the bengals. I'm watching him. I'm not gonna

1274
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: say that he's struggling, but he is struggling. And Oh,

1275
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: by the way, his back is hurt again and he's

1276
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: out of practice and he has struggled. He's been a

1277
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: big part, maybe the biggest part, of the problem of

1278
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: their line is that their tackles have struggled, that that's

1279
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: their first round pick in their big free agent pick

1280
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: up and and they've both struggled. I mean it is true, though,

1281
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,479
Speaker 1: the teams have played the bengals differently. They have the

1282
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: worst ranked offense by D v O W A, but

1283
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: it's that they are taking away big plays and forcing

1284
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: the run the ball and last year, when they were dominant,

1285
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: what's set up a lot of those big plays was

1286
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon in the ground game and they have not

1287
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball well and it's keeping

1288
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: teams able to do what they're doing. It's like you're

1289
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: challenging their challenging them Downfield, and when you can't run

1290
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 1: the ball, it's like you're not going to keep him honest.

1291
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: So I think the Bengals, if you are imagining the

1292
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: season for Cincinnati and I told you they would lose

1293
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: to Mitch Robiskie, Cooper rush and potentially Joe flacco this week,

1294
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: that would be a nuclear disaster. The jets go unplugged

1295
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio that you have to win this game.

1296
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: If you're the bengals and if you're the jets, you're

1297
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: seeing this is a very winnable game. Joe FLACCO went

1298
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: off at the end of that game. He has. These

1299
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: are the playmakers. He has. Garrett Wilson, who's a hit,

1300
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: the ground running playmaker at rookie wide receiver, Elijah Moore,

1301
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: who hasn't even blown up yet, but is it absolute

1302
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,919
Speaker 1: playmaker who's Watch out for this Sunday? That a little

1303
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: bit of a feeling about that. Corey Davis has a

1304
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: role on this team and he made a big on Sunday.

1305
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Michael Carter and breeze hall are both very good running backs.

1306
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: If the jets have another big offensive performance, I'm the

1307
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: BS meter. I'm calling it because I know Sali came

1308
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: out again this week and said absolutely. Zach Wilson, he's

1309
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: ready to go. As soon as he's cleared, he's playing.

1310
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: If they score thirty points and they look really good

1311
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: on offense, Joe FLACCO was playing. Next week against Pittsburgh,

1312
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: do they move into the top ten of your power rankings?

1313
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: If they win this game? They will half the now

1314
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: after last week, if they win, if they win against

1315
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals, they'll be about eighteen or nineteen probably. Is

1316
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: that okay with you? If they beat the Bengals, I

1317
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: think that I have to look at the rest of

1318
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: the week, but I'm not sure about that. There's a

1319
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: chance to be about outcome. Is seems to be triggering.

1320
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look at that kind of thing. Will never

1321
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: happen again. Two five is an unfair jump in the

1322
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: power rankings. That's what it was off that those two

1323
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: teams like pretty even to me. That I didn't like.

1324
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: Like that was a tie game in the fourth quarter too.

1325
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: Wasn't like it was like a crazy come it wasn't

1326
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: crazy comeback, but they also were back and forth. How

1327
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: many teams in the NFL have more than four? Have

1328
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: four players over a hundred and twenty yards from scrimmage?

1329
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: Jet Jets are one of them too. I'm just guessing.

1330
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: It's probably only one. That's how they're spreading out, and

1331
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't even include more burial. I'm fun. I'm very

1332
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. This is fun. Let's do it, Greg,

1333
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: you're up on the draft. Okay, I'm fun. I gotta

1334
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: take the cornered Animal Game Raiders and tightened and Um

1335
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: this was the hardest game, I think, to pick all week.

1336
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys disagree. I flipped. I flipped out my picks.

1337
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: At first I thought Titans. You could just see them

1338
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: winning this game, because it doesn't make sense and everyone's

1339
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: hurt and it's an organizational win and like this is

1340
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: who the titans are and they've been doing it for

1341
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 1: it's like Mike Rabel is good at making you know

1342
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: the some of its parts even greater, and then, on

1343
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: the other hand, Josh mcdaniels so far as finding ways

1344
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: to loose. And yet I just at the very end

1345
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: I had to switch it back to the team that's

1346
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: just passed the eye tests and looked better, and that's

1347
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: the raiders. Like I'm keeping an eye on Chandler Jones.

1348
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything through two weeks and this is

1349
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: a week you should be able to take advantage of that.

1350
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones here. It could be so far. Yeah, this

1351
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: is now when things come up in the show. I'd

1352
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: like get flashbacks. Do you guys remember? I said something

1353
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: about Chandler Jones and then West interjected immediately, almost like

1354
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: you just did there, and we ended up getting in

1355
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: a whole fight about Chandler Jones. Not in a fight,

1356
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: but he was like you're really you're really my body

1357
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: and we're about to have a highly detailed football centric debate? No,

1358
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. It is a it is a reminder, though,

1359
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: how Chandler Jones career has gone on and on and

1360
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: he's had his ups and downs and right now it

1361
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: might be it might be a down. They need him.

1362
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: Their defense was unimpressive week ago, but I still think

1363
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: they have a lot on offense to be excited about

1364
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: and I'm worried about this Titan Secondary. That's that's the

1365
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: part that that bothers me. Graver, do you remember when

1366
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones in week one last year had five sacks

1367
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: against the titans in one game? You have the rest

1368
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: of the year. I think something right defense. Christian Fulton

1369
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: looks like he'll be back. WHO's the best titans cornerback,

1370
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: so that's that's a good sign. But I just feel

1371
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: like that they're not matching much of a pass rush

1372
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: in their secondary well, and they're concerned the titans that

1373
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: Taylor lwan could be out for the year with a

1374
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: knee injury and you've got Max crosby and the raiders rush.

1375
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: I don't like that situation. To me, the watching the titans,

1376
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: and I mean I understand when you play the bills,

1377
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna Happen to a lot of teams. The wheels

1378
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: completely fell off. I thought they were psychologically broken about

1379
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: nine minutes into that game. Honestly, just look on the

1380
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 1: face of Mike Rabel and the rest of the crowd

1381
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: and I just feel like this titans offense, uh, John Robinson,

1382
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: it's on you. I feel like they were. They've they've

1383
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: stuck around what they do one year too long. They

1384
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: lost a J Brown, they're leaning too hard on Derrick

1385
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Henry and there doesn't seem a way out of this.

1386
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're really you're in that division.

1387
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: You're right down. They could win eight, they go eight,

1388
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: nine and win that. That's a saving grace. But do

1389
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: we win a game like the direct that this titans

1390
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: team is just no way you could like it. But

1391
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: Justin I'm curious your thoughts. Obviously here my thoughts about

1392
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: the game like it was obviously bad and disappointing on Monday,

1393
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: but then I thought to myself, as you spin forward here,

1394
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 1: that was you were sent up there to be slaughtered,

1395
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: and they were and the buffalo celebration was on by

1396
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Um I didn't come out of it

1397
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: thinking that, oh, there's so much worse than I thought.

1398
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I just thought the bills are so much better than

1399
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: just about everybody else right now. So this is a

1400
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: great matchup for them, in my mind, against the raiders

1401
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: team that is desperate, yes, but also, you know, the

1402
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: middle of the pack, maybe a little better team, if

1403
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: the titans are as well coaches we've always said, and

1404
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: if we really do believe in Ryan Tannehill to find

1405
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: a way and if we think Derrick Henry is not

1406
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:44,640
Speaker 1: actually a step slow, it's just that the blocking has

1407
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: been bad. Find a way, titans, uh. And if you

1408
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be the called the titoons, don't get

1409
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: beat here in your building in a huge spot. Do

1410
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: you think they find a way here? Just be honest

1411
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: with me right now, or do you think this teams?

1412
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't honestly. I picked the years this week and

1413
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: I think that Tavante Adams is going to go off

1414
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: the way Steffon diggs did, because the titans don't like

1415
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: to do like a shadow coverage with their best cornerback.

1416
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: They don't like to roll safeties and bracket guys. They

1417
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: just like to play their scheme and you know when

1418
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: you come up with it against a superstar receiver like

1419
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Diggs last week or Adams this week. I really think

1420
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: if you got Adams in fantasy foot having an identity crisis,

1421
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: they started to last year, got the number one seed.

1422
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: You know who they're number one receiver, graver, off the

1423
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: top of your head, sorry, you know who their number

1424
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: one receivers so far this year. The Titans. Is it

1425
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Phillips? It's Treylon, is the highest highest rated rookie

1426
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: receiver by pro football focus right now. Look at that.

1427
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: took the summer off. I like what he did there.

1428
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 1: You know what you should do? You should do the

1429
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: thing where people covering a football game, like the announcers, like, Oh,

1430
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't pick, I don't pick, I'm too close to

1431
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: it professionally, I don't. I don't pick. Four against the titans. Recover.

1432
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you're graver. I had a policy. I

1433
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: never I didn't pay against the Patriots for like fourteen years,

1434
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: but that was the Patriots. This is a different situation

1435
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: with the titans. They're trying too hard to keep Derrick

1436
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Henry being the thing. And okay, you're beyond the formula.

1437
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: Speaking out of I'll take these Patriots Ravens. What a

1438
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 1: value this late. This is a really intriguing game to me, Um,

1439
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: because both teams after two weeks, I just feel like

1440
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: there's so little we know about a lot of the NFL.

1441
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens have some things they definitely feel

1442
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,799
Speaker 1: good about. That Lamar's coming in sharp, that Rashad Bateman

1443
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: really looks like a dude. He can do it all,

1444
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: he can get deep, he can win in tight coverage,

1445
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: he runs great routes. Love that. Um. The Patriots, I think,

1446
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,759
Speaker 1: have some things to feel pretty good about. They're running

1447
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: their offense totally different. Suddenly they're doing R P O S,

1448
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: they're in shotgun all the time. UH, their zone runs

1449
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: that everyone made fun of for a while. They did

1450
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: end the game mostly doing kind of their their power scheme,

1451
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: but that that was a statement the way they ran.

1452
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 1: They they're they're running actually better right now, number is

1453
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 1: wise than they did a year ago, for what it's worth.

1454
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: So there's some things to feel good about for both

1455
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: of these teams, but there's also major question marks in

1456
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the in the Ravens Secondary. Uh, the Patriots have only

1457
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: allowed two touchdowns defensively, but I still don't really know

1458
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: who they are and their passing game, uh, is messy

1459
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: and doesn't necessarily look like the type of team that

1460
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 1: can take advantage of Baltimore. So they've struggled with Lamar.

1461
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: Like most teams even in the best of times, this

1462
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup for them. I don't like the

1463
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: situation for New England on any level. I mean their

1464
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 1: defense has been good, but I could see Lamar Jackson

1465
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: going off and I don't trust New England's offense to

1466
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: climb out of a hole. I mean they're a team

1467
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: that's gonna score about fourteen points a week. They're passing

1468
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: game to me, is DIS jointed. I do think the

1469
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: line took us. They did round it out last week

1470
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna have to run the ball a ton.

1471
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: But I liked the ravens in this so much. Are

1472
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: you gonna do? What is to do? What you think

1473
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna do? He's gonna lock it up for the Ravens.

1474
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: About about little lock brothers, Inc because the old Zeus

1475
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: are also locking up the Baltimore Ravens. I just don't

1476
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: think the Patriots. I'm gonna simplify this. Son of a gun.

1477
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: They're not gonna score enough points. They're just not gonna

1478
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 1: be and I understand, like what you said, Greg, they

1479
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: have issues with their secondary the Ravens. We know it.

1480
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: We saw it. They got exposed in week two. But

1481
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing enough from Mac Jones, and I'm gonna

1482
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: give him a little heat here too, because he's had

1483
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: some as my kids say, some of his throws have

1484
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: been suss like they have been some when he just

1485
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of hangs it out there, he's like, Oh man,

1486
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: that's a reminder. I know he worked worked out a

1487
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: lot this offseason. Got Jack He doesn't have great arm

1488
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: strength and sometimes he tries to fit throws in and

1489
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: the safeties are just licking their lips when it's in

1490
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: the air, and I think he's gonna make a mistake

1491
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: or two and that's just gonna be an issue because

1492
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, like we said earlier, he got completely upstaged

1493
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: by two in Miami's come back. But he is he

1494
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: is on one right now. He's on another level. He's

1495
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: throwing the ball better than he ever has and I

1496
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: think the way he's to throw, passing the ball, the

1497
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: way he's running the ball. He has more rushing yards

1498
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: than anyone else on the ravens combined. They are going

1499
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: to score thirty points in this game, I think, and

1500
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Patriots have that in their bones

1501
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: at this stage. Plus, how annoyed are the Ravens? I

1502
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: think belichick would would obviously be disappointed give up thirty point.

1503
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 1: It's totally possible. I think they've looked well coached defensively

1504
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: through two weeks. Very sound like that. The coaching concern

1505
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the defensive side. That that said, I

1506
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: know they beat Lamar last year. It was a weird

1507
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Lamar year, but for the most part, like sound defenses

1508
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: that do their assignments right. Often don't have great answers

1509
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: for Lamar because what he does is like unsound, it's

1510
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: it's improvisational a lot of the Times. And Yeah, he's

1511
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: hitting you with great throws from the pocket too. So

1512
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm with you guys, that they would have to keep

1513
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 1: up and that'll be tough to do. But Man, these

1514
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: this secondary for the Ravens. Three rookies playing, three rookies,

1515
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and it's not all high drafted picks. It's a fourth

1516
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: rounder it's a seventh rounder, I believe, and and it's

1517
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's who who had a mistake last week too,

1518
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: and Marcus Peters playing in his first game after a

1519
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: year off. Marlon Humphrey is missing practice time. There's there's

1520
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: something here with this defense not being but it's a

1521
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: good matchup to have problems in your secondary right. It

1522
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: goes both ways. It's kind of week on week. You

1523
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: you've been pumping up Mac Jones in the past. Everything

1524
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: you're saying right now makes sense. All Right, Mac Jones,

1525
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: throw three touchdown passes and throw with three cards. Do

1526
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 1: It if you're actually, you know, a guy who is

1527
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 1: more than just a system quarterback that you have to

1528
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of does not in a bad situation. The official

1529
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Mac Jones position this year, Dan Um, is that it's

1530
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: the coaching fault. You know, I think it's sure, but

1531
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: the irony of this is, like last year, I haven't

1532
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,640
Speaker 1: totally hated what I've seen out of two weeks, but

1533
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: he's made two or three throws to your point that

1534
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 1: we're really rough each week and he didn't do that.

1535
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 1: He had well throw last week that was Cam Sutton.

1536
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: You throw it to one of the worst throws. You'll

1537
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: see you all week long. And it was. It should

1538
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 1: have been an interception, Cam Sutton. D Um no, I'm

1539
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: just I think it's kind of funny. Of all the

1540
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: first round pick quarterbacks last year, you know, a lot

1541
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: of was may of well, he's succeeding because he's in

1542
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: the best situation, is the best surrounding, supporting pet cast,

1543
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 1: the best coaching. And now you cut to the second

1544
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: season and now it's like, well, he's failing because he

1545
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have great coaching and a great supporting cat. I

1546
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's failing so far. Let's give it some time.

1547
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: It's been okay, nice test. Let's take a break and

1548
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: we'll finish out. All right, let's finish it up. Am

1549
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: I up? You are caught flat footed in a big spot.

1550
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: What should I do? Should I watch Gino fail again?

1551
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: That sounds kind of fun. I like that for you. No,

1552
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to Uh Watch the saints

1553
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: and Panthers. No, I can't. I can't do that. I

1554
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: have to watch Gino fail. It's a process here. It is.

1555
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: I told you. I got caught flat footed. Uh Falcons

1556
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: at Seahawks, and I agree with you. Guys I think

1557
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons are better than last year, at least what

1558
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: we've seen so far. Um, it's commendable what they were

1559
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: able to do in Los Angeles on Sunday, getting back

1560
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,600
Speaker 1: into that game. Um didn't finish it off and it

1561
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: was another Marcus Mariotta mistake that doomed them. That's two

1562
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: weeks in a row that's happened. Um. But he like

1563
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: when we talked about entering the season, Mariota and like Trabinsky,

1564
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: a couple like Salva, hoping to, you know, salvage former

1565
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 1: first round picks. I'm way more confident that Mariota will

1566
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 1: continue to make plays and be a guy that can

1567
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: move on offense than Trabinsky. And on the Seattle side,

1568
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: I just don't know what it is Greg to get

1569
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 1: excited about because you take out Jamal Adams from the

1570
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: defense that already was a little bit mad and Um,

1571
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: like I said, not to be labored, but they haven't

1572
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: scored a point in six quarters on offense now. So

1573
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,719
Speaker 1: there's not much that I'm into about that. And even

1574
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: DK metcalf using him. I know we talked about last year.

1575
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: You were you were getting shots in on Russell Wilson.

1576
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: That DK metcalf likes playing with Gino Smith better, and

1577
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know if off would agree with

1578
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: play overturned by ridiculous sure I saw defensive lineman down

1579
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 1: the field. Penalty then nothing to do with the play.

1580
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, but anyway, I like man. Who Do I

1581
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: like in this game? I know who I like. You.

1582
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely Seattle is. They're the only team I've already already

1583
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: did it. I love our due a lot. I like

1584
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: being on the same team. On that I'm with you.

1585
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what to like about Seattle at all.

1586
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: They haven't forced to three and out all season. Only

1587
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: team in the league. Opponents are averaging seven point four

1588
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: plays against them. Seven four yards per play. UH, they

1589
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: have a league low forty eight offensive snaps, and so

1590
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: I get it. Gino Smith's completion percentage just like eight

1591
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 1: points higher than any else in the league, but it

1592
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: doesn't translate to points there. If there, if anything, a

1593
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: field goal offense, they haven't even been that. I don't know.

1594
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: This is something that Pete carrolls from pitching to us.

1595
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a long year. There's no formulative

1596
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: beat teams in Atlanta has been like. If nothing if

1597
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 1: not totally frisky on offense, and I think this is

1598
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: the week where Arthur Smith, who has been as agitated

1599
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: as any head coach in the League during his press time,

1600
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: is gonna put it together. And this is a good

1601
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: situation for Atlanta and they're a better team than people think.

1602
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta has absolutely played better than Seattle this year. I

1603
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 1: think they're a better team. I just picked this game

1604
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: with my heart and chose Seattle. See, I just I

1605
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: still do that. It's like graver and you're playing the raiders.

1606
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 1: Just picked the team with your heart. You might as well.

1607
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: It's it's a coin. Flam I took him, even though

1608
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense, because Gino, do you know, stats

1609
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: are like Hilarious, even objectively, if you remove my fandom

1610
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: from the situation. It's hilarious that Pete Carroll made a

1611
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: huge point this week. I'm saying he's got both weeks

1612
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 1: in a row. We've never had a quarterback do that.

1613
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,799
Speaker 1: And then you're actually some wild stuff. Absolutely we're getting

1614
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: close to the time. He's kind of in a bruce

1615
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: areas situation here. You've got an Arian zone here and then,

1616
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: but actually his stats also in his yards for play

1617
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: when he throws over ten yards, is actually better than

1618
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 1: anyone else. He just hasn't done it a butter knife

1619
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: to you know, cut this how you wanted. Did say

1620
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna let him rip it down? Oh Yeah, he's

1621
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: earned the right. I mean fine that. You kind of

1622
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 1: need that. But here's what I don't like about Geno

1623
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: Smith is everything else around him. Even then, these are

1624
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: stats that you can't doubt through two weeks D V

1625
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: A way. I know it's early, but they're twenty six.

1626
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: And Defense, their defense. They have the twenty nine ranked

1627
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: rushing attack. Uh. And then wasn't supposed to be bad, right?

1628
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: They have the twenty nine ranked past blocking offensive line

1629
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: and the thirty ranked run blocking offensive line. So I'm

1630
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: not trying to say Gino can succeed. UH, in spite

1631
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: of all of that, all of that needs to be

1632
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: close to average or better, or this is gonna be

1633
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: a punching back situation for you guys all season. Yeah. Well,

1634
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: somebody uh on on twitter, on the or on red

1635
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 1: at the a m a a s like how annoyed

1636
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: are you with drag and all the Geno stuff? And

1637
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: I said percent of the time on the show, anything

1638
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: where it appears like there's an annoyance kind of ends

1639
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: when the cans come off. For me, that's how I

1640
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: feel about the Geno. I'm not actually annoyed about it.

1641
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: What I'm actually I'm actually excited. I told the listener

1642
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 1: that it's just by. We're just biding our time where

1643
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: Greg will have to eat it and say, you know,

1644
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: he's not a league average quarterback, he's bad. You think

1645
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Greg's can never say I don't think he will, because

1646
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: you just heard that whole monologue by Gregor. He's like

1647
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: everything else is bad. Well, I gotta say that schedule

1648
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: Makers UH served up a real possibility for a two

1649
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: and one record. That's all we're let one more game mark.

1650
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: It's you closing out the draft. Well, we have two

1651
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: more actually, but I'm gonna take these saints at Panthers,

1652
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: and for me, the reason I'm doing it is Jamis Winston.

1653
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,479
Speaker 1: Last week, I think I said on this show we

1654
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,679
Speaker 1: might be in a place where Jamis Winston has worked

1655
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: his way out of the operation as like a pick

1656
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: six robot and constantly turning the ball over. And I

1657
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: know you're playing Tampa's defense, but they harassed him entirely

1658
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,639
Speaker 1: tons of turn overs. The saints completely could not match

1659
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 1: up to a bucks team that had tons of guys

1660
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: missing on offense. So can you go to Carolina and

1661
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: steer the ship back correctly? Yes, I think you can,

1662
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: because I don't know what the panthers on offense can

1663
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: do either. Baker Mayfield, to me looks like a bottom three,

1664
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: bottom four quarterback in the NFL. That's not what they

1665
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: thought they were getting. I think they thought they were

1666
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: getting somewhere in the middle of the pack. Not The case.

1667
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree. He looks lost. He doesn't play well

1668
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: when he is protected. He definitely is confused when teams

1669
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 1: are sending blitz is at him. This is a matchup

1670
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: where New Orleans should get aggressive and go after him.

1671
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: The one thing that could give the panthers a little

1672
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: bit of hope here. Not only did you know they

1673
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: beat down the saints in Carolina last year, uh, but

1674
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 1: the saints passed rush has been one of the worst

1675
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: in the league. They had four pressures last week. They

1676
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: couldn't any pressure on Mariota the week before either. So

1677
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: I think there's at least a chance that you could

1678
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,959
Speaker 1: protect Baker Mayfield better in this game. I've been surprised

1679
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:02,480
Speaker 1: how quiet CAM Jordan and Marcus Davenport have been specifically.

1680
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Did you guys hear that? By the way, what was that?

1681
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: Sort of a sound from nature? Oh, bring up kids. No,

1682
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: it's the ghost of Jamis Winston Past. There he is,

1683
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: the interception machine that kills his team and loses control

1684
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:23,799
Speaker 1: when the situation gets hot. UH, here's Devin, Devin White,

1685
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Linebacker, after uh, Winston through three straight

1686
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:32,520
Speaker 1: interceptions in the second half, talking about what he foresaw

1687
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: ahead of that big rivalry game in week two. Right, men,

1688
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: when Jamis met my team, everybody, nobody did that last

1689
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: year and we feel like we had a great defense then.

1690
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: And you know, you do thirty pigs, you know, and

1691
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: we just knew here to give us the ball. We

1692
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: knew the running backs. So, you know, coffee up, you know,

1693
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: and that's something we came in talking about. You know,

1694
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: we want thirty turnovers as a ball club ourselves. So

1695
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: this this was another game to go attack the ball.

1696
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 1: So there's a little shade at Jamis and I'm just

1697
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 1: wondering if the reported four FT was in the back.

1698
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: You talked about Andy Dalton. UH, in the summer, Greg

1699
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: like if he isn't quite right, do not run out

1700
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: a half of James Winston. Just put in Dalton. You

1701
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: have they better know what they're doing because they made

1702
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 1: him astake last week. That was the worst game he's

1703
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: had as as a saint. You have to think it

1704
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: was related to the back. You cannot shoot straight. You

1705
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: could really tell them when he whenever you threw it

1706
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: deep and I'd have to assume that the back thing

1707
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: was was a situation there. Absolutely right, and it wasn't

1708
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: even just the interception. He was just like missing throws.

1709
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: They do Alvin Kamara back, most likely because he was

1710
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: limited in practice, which is huge. They probably get pauls

1711
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: and a Debo back for the first time and in

1712
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: camp at least. Yeah, people are really feeling like he

1713
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: might have a breakout year and that that will help

1714
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: their secondary. One thing to keep an eye on Pete Werner.

1715
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: It's been Bawling Pete Werner, the Saints Linebacker. We talked

1716
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: about early all pros. After two weeks Pete Werner and

1717
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: De Mario Davis are reminded me of UH, I don't know,

1718
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis and Luke Keithley back at least for two weeks.

1719
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't you gotta love that. The jets

1720
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: and Brown that gave up on tomorrow, Davis, and he's

1721
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 1: gone to New Orleans and been sensational. Those two are

1722
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 1: very much like modern linebackers who can stay on the field.

1723
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: Good and coverage good everywhere. Warner has been awesome. All Right,

1724
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 1: get a wind, caroline, I rose your seasons over, I

1725
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: think this final game, I'd like to give us credit

1726
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: as a threesome. No one. This is being drafted where

1727
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: it needs to be drafted. Okay, I don't know who's

1728
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,680
Speaker 1: even is this technically at no, I'm not watching this game,

1729
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: Houston at Chicago. That's bad. That's rough. See, I sent

1730
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: you a little note. Could you look good? Great, you

1731
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 1: take it. I can't. I will cover it. The way

1732
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: the draft fell in the end. Well, I think the

1733
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: draft is over. I think it's four picks each and

1734
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: then if there's something stray, we just figure it out. Right,

1735
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: and you've got a little dog. You evolved here and

1736
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: that was very, very honorable, Greg and chivalrous. Uh, here

1737
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: we are, Houston. I I struggled to watch the Texans,

1738
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: the bears. There are certain people that will say, Oh,

1739
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: the bears got jobbed in Sun and night football. UH,

1740
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,799
Speaker 1: they should have had that touchdown at the goal line. Whatever,

1741
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 1: they still got beat by multiple scores. Um Who, who

1742
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: do you think Greg in this game has a better

1743
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: chance to feel good about themselves on Sunday night? I

1744
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: picked the Texans just I don't know why, because the

1745
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: bears are trying to win without throwing the ball. And Look,

1746
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 1: I know one of the Games was in the rain.

1747
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't that that raining for a lot of the game.

1748
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 1: But they've run. If they've they've passed the ball eight times.

1749
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 1: They've run the ball sixty four times and they've trailed

1750
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: most of the season. That's the ratio. Sixty four. Some

1751
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 1: of it's on fields because he ends up scrambling on

1752
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,719
Speaker 1: called past plays. His time to throw is three point

1753
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: five four. It's what he did in college, where he

1754
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 1: held it way longer than almost any college quarterback, and

1755
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: that's happening early. It's not working right now. Certainly they

1756
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: need to have an answer. I'm really curious what Matt

1757
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Aberflus and Luke Getzy and and they have in store,

1758
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,639
Speaker 1: because they really need to have an answer. Let's let's

1759
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: get double digit completions for the first time this season.

1760
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: We haven't gotten there yet. Pass it's been around like

1761
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 1: a high school team. Tarnell Mooney four yards on the season. Well,

1762
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: this is why Allen Robinson was annoyed. I mean, I

1763
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:16,600
Speaker 1: I just I think you're right. They'RE gonna have to

1764
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: change things up. I would think the Texans and this

1765
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 1: one too. Can you imagine how many passes did he

1766
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: throw us on Sunday? That's eleven total. You can you

1767
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: imagine what people would be saying if Matt Aggie was

1768
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 1: the coach right now? He would be getting killed for this.

1769
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Matt Ebra bloose and who's

1770
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: running the offense over there is get gets like, getsy like.

1771
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're not getting criticism, because I'm sure

1772
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 1: they are, but this is the type of stuff where

1773
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: people will be ready with torches and pitchforks coming from

1774
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: Matt N aggy if you have year two of Justin

1775
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: fields and you're running an offense where he's throwing less

1776
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: than thirty passes in two weeks. You're right. Bears did

1777
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 1: something smart. They made it very clear to everyone that

1778
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: they're in rebuild note and it's not a good situation

1779
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 1: to be a year two quarterback in that's in that environment,

1780
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:05,679
Speaker 1: but that's what they said. I think that's the difference

1781
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: is Matt Niggie was an absolute lightning rod for critique.

1782
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: I would just run the ball a ton. They were

1783
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: actually effective. They almost got back into that game with

1784
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 1: Davidgomery last week. I mean that is what they're doing

1785
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: and they have been pretty good running. Their running game

1786
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: has been better, uh, than the than the Texans running game.

1787
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Here you don't expect a lot of offense. I would

1788
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: set the over under on this game at about twelve.

1789
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like six to three, twelve

1790
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: and a half. Bang the under. We'll probably what is

1791
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: it actually in the desert? I will find out that

1792
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: in for nation. For you like you don't have it.

1793
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got it right here. I'm not really

1794
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: an under a guy, you know. I just assume you're

1795
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 1: actually setting these like Robert Deniro at the end of Casino.

1796
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: Forty seems like a lot, a lot for these two teams.

1797
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 1: Were they what we've seen so far? But maybe, you know,

1798
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: on a positive end, one of them has got to

1799
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: feel great after week. The Texans are gonna be one,

1800
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: one and one, which is that's great for the Texans.

1801
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: are going to be two and one with with, I think,

1802
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 1: another matchup next week. It's against the giants that they

1803
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: can feel like. You're classically underrating the giants. Damien Pierce, uh,

1804
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,439
