14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: Where Colin was right, Where Colin was wrong again at

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Game seventh tonight, Jays and Mariners Seattle trying to get

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: to their first World Series double of Monday night football games. Jamie,

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: really fun weekend, really really good Sunday. You know, we

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: complain that we don't love too money night football games

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: because it takes so many good games out of the weekend.

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: But that late window yesterday was nuts. But let's start

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: with the early window of folks. It's twenty eighteen and

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Again, Patrick Mahomes completed passes to nine different

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: tight ends or wide receivers. Their speed is everywhere, playmakers everywhere,

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: thirty two points a game in the last month. I

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: hate to inform the rest of the NFL, but this

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: is now once again the best offense, the best coach,

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: the best quarterback, and the most flexible. Eight nine different targets.

28
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Some are fast summer possession, some are twitchy, some are

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: big summer tight ends. And the defense is remarkable. And

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Really smart people make mistakes, yeah, but

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: they're able to quickly identify those mistakes. They're able to

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: let their ego not get in the way, and then

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: they course correct very quickly. Kansas City, I believe, has

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: rebuilt their offensive line three times in five years. I

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: think they've rebuilt this receiving corps four times in maybe

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: seven years. And now all of a sudden, it's the

37
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: deepest receiving corps in the NFL. And the Chiefs and

38
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: you saw this yesterday with the Rams. Adaptable. They're not

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: one thing. Puka Akua is out, No big deal. We'll

40
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: give three or four tight ends a look. And you

41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City yesterday, Hollywood Brown, Worthy, Rice, Travis Kelsey.

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Rashe Rice comes back ten targets, ten targets.

43
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Rashi Rice haven't played in an actual game

44
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: in like a year, and he's throwing no look passes

45
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: to him, and so I don't feel bad for the

46
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Chargers or Baltimore or Joe Burrow and thes although he's

47
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: hurt this year, you know, all these teams had a chance.

48
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City was three and three. They didn't have Rice,

49
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: they didn't have Worthy. This was your time to make

50
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: up ground on them. But right now Kansas City's not

51
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: only back, I think they're better than ever they have

52
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: drafted so well. This is the deepest, twitchiest, most unique

53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: wide receiving corps, the best play designer, the best distributor.

54
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: I watched yesterday, and I mean it was like Mahomes

55
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: was in a baseball cap in the fourth quarter. It's

56
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: like they pulled their starting pitcher after a great two

57
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: hitter and he had a six run lead in the

58
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: seventh inning and he sat in the bench the dugout

59
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: and watched. But I don't see a hole. I said

60
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: this a month ago when they clobbered the Ravens. Everybody said, oh,

61
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens are beat up. That's not what I watched

62
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: right now. They're just they just keep adding elements. And

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: I saw it with the Rams in Jacksonville. The smart

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: teams in this league. They miss on draft picks, they

65
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: make mistakes, they get players hurt, they have two and

66
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: three game slumps, but they course correct, they identify mistakes quickly.

67
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Smart wins in this league. And I saw it in

68
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: London with the Rams. I saw it with the Chiefs.

69
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: A no look passed over she Rice. They haven't played

70
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: together in a year, only Andy Reid. And here's Mahomes after.

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: The no look one. I I wanted to throw to

72
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 3: receive the whole time, but Xavier was kind of holding

73
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: that flat defender with his release and so the corner

74
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: was kind of in between, and so just just holding

75
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: and putting it in the spot at the right time

76
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: when it comes to Like the way he moves and

77
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: the way he runs, routes out a good feel for

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: when he wants the football and where I need to

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: throw it to, and so he's been working well.

80
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: The wildest game of the day is a team that

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: is trying to supplant catch and beat. In the AFC West,

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: it involved the Denver Broncos, who for three quarters were unwatchable,

83
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: and we're getting hammered nineteen nothing by the New York Giants.

84
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: They came back to win a wild, wild shootout. But

85
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: what I really watched in this game and what I

86
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: really saw, and I'm sure you saw two franchise quarterbacks.

87
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart for the Giants was the better one early.

88
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Bo Knicks was pretty special late, But that's what I saw.

89
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: They're both a little uneven. They make mistakes, they have

90
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: bad quarters, but both are confident use their legs. Their

91
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: coaches like them to use their legs, and I mean

92
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks, for the record, are very effective. In fact,

93
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: it's Patrick Mahomes breaking ball. It's what he uses in

94
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: every big Super Bowl or AFC championship. So Jackson Dart

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: mobile doesn't take his eyes off down the field. Same

96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: with bon Nicks. I mean, Bonnicks had four first downs

97
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: running in two touchdowns. I don't know why Sean Payton

98
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: doesn't run him more. They're both excellent at it, and

99
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: when you're learning to decipher NFL defenses, pick up first downs.

100
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson did it, Maholmes did it, Lamar did it.

101
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: You're good enough in the pocket, but you're not going

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: to be great in the pocket because both bow and

103
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart unlike Mahomes, had to play like in September

104
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: their first year right with imperfect rosters, and neither one

105
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: of them got you know, Andy Reid. So everybody keeps

106
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: doubting bow Knicks because like a lot of young quarterbacks,

107
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: he's uneven. He just had the greatest quarter of any

108
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: NFL football player ever, scoring thirty three points. And it's

109
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: like Klay Thompson. Remember Klay Thompson once scored thirty seven

110
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: points in a quarter. Remember that with a Warriors thirty

111
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: seven points. That doesn't make him better than Steph Curry

112
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: or better than KD. But it makes him a Hall

113
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: of Famer and it makes him a great player. But

114
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter this year alone, bow Nicks has

115
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: three game winning drives. That is a season's worth, and

116
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 1: he's still a kid. I would prefer a complete game.

117
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: I would love a great first quarter and a great

118
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: third quarter. Bow against really good teams, and the Giants

119
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Steve VENs is really good, was excellent for three quarters.

120
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: That's not what he is yet. And by the way,

121
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the Jackson Dark drive on what we thought at the

122
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: time was a game winning drive, I thought it was

123
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: so smart. I didn't love the PI call in that

124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: kind of consequential moment. I don't like that PI call,

125
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: but they called that. It is what it is, Payton.

126
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: These guys bow Knicks and Jackson Dart, they're not overwhelmed

127
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: by the moment. They just they're not rattled, they're not frenetic.

128
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: They're actually I think bow Knicks focus is better and

129
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: is more confident trailing late. I think Jackson Dart, I mean,

130
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's great looking kid, I don't know what it is,

131
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: but Jackson Dart never feels overwhelmed. And for the record,

132
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: bo Knicks has more weapons and a better offensive line.

133
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: So what Jackson Dart's doing, he's doing it. I mean,

134
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: he's got scataboo, but Denver's got better players, better offensive line,

135
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: more weapons, perceived as the better coach and play caller

136
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and play designer. So Jackson Dart shouldn't win this game.

137
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: Jackson Dark shouldn't lead for three quarters, and Denver's defense

138
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: is better than the Giants, So in a losing cause

139
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: I thought Jackson Dart was amazing to go into Denver

140
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: and to give the Broncos defense all sorts of trouble

141
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: and to lead nineteen. If you'd have told me the

142
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Giants don't score nineteen points in the total game before

143
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: it started, I would have said, yeah, I could see that, thirteen, fourteen,

144
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: seventeen points. So I mean a losing cause. If you're

145
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: a Giants fan, you got your guy. You got your guy.

146
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: He just needs a better role line, he needs more help.

147
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Denver's got the better players, Denver's probably got the better coach.

148
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: Denver's probably got the better general manager. Denver's definitely got

149
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: the more weapons, the Mems and Sutton and Harvey and Ingram.

150
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Denver has a Super Bowl roster. The Giants don't. So

151
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I was blown away by both guys. I really was

152
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: blown away by Jackson Dart, and I wasn't blown away

153
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: with bow Nicks into the fourth quarter. But that was

154
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson's score. Thirty seven in a quarter. You can

155
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: stop arguing Klay Thompson's great, he's nuts Curry, He's not KD.

156
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: But thirty seven in a quarter. Not a lot of

157
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: people on the planet ever can do that, and Bo

158
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: Nicks just had the greatest quarter of any player in

159
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: league history. I'm sorry, that's hard to do, even with

160
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Sean Payton as your coach. Here's Bo after.

161
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: Well.

162
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 5: I was thinking about how I was going to answer

163
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 5: questions if we got shut out, you know, not where

164
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: you want to be. And you know, at some point,

165
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 5: I knew we've done it before. In the fourth quarter,

166
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 5: We're gonna, you know, at some point we're gonna go

167
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: down and score. Now, maybe too late, we may not

168
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 5: score enough, but at some point we're gonna do it.

169
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, you go, And I mean, I

170
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 5: don't even know how we scored thirty three points in

171
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 5: a quarter. That's kind of insane, but it's just whatever

172
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: we had to get done, we did it.

173
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bo's a he's a streaky shooter. I mean, he

174
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: just gets into these moments. I do think, and I

175
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: said this last week, use his legs. Ryan Dabole has

176
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: quickly identified Jackson Dart's mobility, and they are leaning into it.

177
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: I would lean into bon Nick's legs. When you're a

178
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: young quarterback trying to figure out and decipher these NFL defenses.

179
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: This is not college ball. The windows are tight, the

180
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: dbs are better, the pass rush is bigger, better athletes,

181
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: things close quickly, use the legs, move the chains, extend drives.

182
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: All right, j mact. The Bears have themselves a little

183
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: winning street in Chicago.

184
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 6: Here we go, Here we go.

185
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 7: Your Chicago Bears is getting turnovers against that teams.

186
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 6: Let's celebrate Colin whoo.

187
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: Well. I will say this, the Bears have reached a

188
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: point that is the ultimate respect in the NFL. And

189
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you where that place is. The Bears have

190
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: finally reached this place. We'll talk about that next.

202
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: Well, the Bears beat the Saints. They find themselves on

203
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: a winning streak. And the greatest compliment you can pay

204
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: any NFL team is criticizing them when they win, because

205
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: you see the talent, and you see the potential, and

206
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: you see the sky's the limit. That's where we are

207
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: with the Bears. I'll containd this top seven or eight.

208
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: It's like when your dad used to say, you're better

209
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: than that, right like Chicago. And Ben Johnson has figured

210
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: this out very quickly. This is a run game, takeaway defense.

211
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: That's the identity. It's not Caleb Williams, and he sees

212
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: it and he knows it. He's asking less and less diplomatically.

213
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: All be diplomatic. The passing game is a work in progress.

214
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean Ben Johnson's resting face watching Caleb Williams is discouraged.

215
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: So he sees the truth. This is not a team

216
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: that can win by shootout having to throw the ball.

217
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: It's not a team that can fall behind and come

218
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: flying back like a Denver. They can't. This is all

219
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: about the run game. It's all about takeaways defensively. Remember

220
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: this team, and we said it at the time when

221
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: they went out and got Drew Dollman the center from Atlanta,

222
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: I would have people come up to me in Chicago.

223
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: What do you think about him? I said, They're gonna

224
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: have one of the best guard center guard combos in

225
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: the league Joe Tooney, Drew Dolman, Jonah Jackson and an

226
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: offensive line. Veteran offensive linemen don't play in the preseason,

227
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: so it was going to be a turbulent September. We're

228
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: in October now and that old line has meshed. That

229
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: is big boy guard center guard. There are huge holes

230
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, big giant holes between the tackles,

231
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: outside the tackles. So Ben has figured it out. He's

232
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: discouraged with the passing game. You can see his body language.

233
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: This is going to be a run game. Control the clock.

234
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. It's not like Ben Johnson's

235
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Ben Franklin. They're not inventing electricity here. It's basic stuff.

236
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: They can actually now take a lead and score in

237
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: the first quarter. It's not revolutionary. It's what the Chiefs

238
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: and the Rams and the good teams do. They score

239
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. And they also have cut Caleb

240
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Williams sacks in half because they get the ball out

241
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: of Caleb's hands. I mean this team, they are now

242
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, they're top three in

243
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: the league in yards after catch. Their skills excellent, Roma Dunze,

244
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Luther Burden, Colston Lovelin, DeAndre Swift, DJ Moore. They got

245
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: dudes that this is a lot closer to the Kansas

246
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: and he Chiefs than it is the Panthers. They've got dudes.

247
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: They got to get that ball out of Caleb's hands

248
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: and let those guys do the work because the passing game.

249
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: With Caleb having on this for weeks, he may just

250
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: never be a really super accurate guy. It may be

251
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: a Cam Newton thing. And he's spectacular, and he's an

252
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: emotional player that gets into streaks. He can make all

253
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: the throws, but you know, he's not going to be

254
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: a guy that gives you thirteen straight completions. That's just

255
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: not his game. And in Caleb's career high school, college

256
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: and last year he was the star of the show.

257
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: He is a supporting actor. Now, for the record, you

258
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: can win an oscar for that right. You can win

259
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: an oscar for a supporting actor. But he's a supporting actor.

260
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: This is about the run game. The coaching is actual.

261
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Again Ben Johnson has identified it doesn't take that long

262
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: to figure out a quarterback strengths and weaknesses. Caleb's got

263
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: a jet engine for an arm. He is a great runner,

264
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: does a little too much hero ball, struggles a little

265
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: to play with. Instructure not super accurate, but run game defense, aggressiveness,

266
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: takeaway self identity. It's a good football team. And the

267
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: greatest thing you can say about him is they're winning

268
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: and we're all criticizing it because you see how much

269
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: talent there is. You can see the talent they got

270
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: dudes everywhere. Here's been on his offense after beating the Saints.

271
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, up and down. So that's what we've looked like.

272
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 9: We haven't hit our stride yet. Offensively, We're capable of

273
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 9: a lot more. We have very talented individuals. I feel

274
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 9: strongly in our coaching staff, but we're just we're not

275
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 9: complementing our defense on a regular basis. With the number

276
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 9: of turnovers we've had over the last four games, we

277
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 9: should be able to turn those into more points.

278
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: Now, let me defend Caleb Williams on this Spencer Rattler

279
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: was trying to prove how special he was and kept

280
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: throwing picks. Caleb Williams last year with a bad staff

281
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: and a terrible old line, only through six picks. Caleb

282
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball over a ton, at least not

283
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: throwing interceptions. He doesn't, he never has. He didn't do

284
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: it at USC, He didn't do it last year. He's

285
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: not doing it this year. He can have fumble issues

286
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: that'll drive you nuts, but he's not stubborn. He's not rigid.

287
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: You watch some of these young quarterbacks and they just refuse.

288
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler's like, Bro, you're trying way too hard to

289
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: show off. You're trying to better Caleb Williams. You're not.

290
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: Caleb doesn't throw, he doesn't make the big mistakes. It's

291
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: just operationally, the ball hits the carpet. It's a little

292
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: bit of Trevor Lawrence. You can see the talent, but

293
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is probably never just going to be as

294
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: good as I thought he was. And I look at

295
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. I see the talent, I see the horsepower,

296
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: but the ball hits the carpet too much, miss on

297
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: too many easy ones. A couple of layups. She got

298
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: a hit. But they're winning and we're criticizing him, and

299
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: their coach doesn't love it. When you can go on

300
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: four game winning streaks and the coach is really not

301
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: smiling in the postgame press conference. That tells you how

302
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: much talent they have. I'll argue all day long, this

303
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: is a really good roster. I said this about Denver

304
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: last year when Denver made the playoffs, I said, you

305
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: guys aren't paying at ten. I said this about Indianapolis

306
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: two years ago. I said, the Colts need a quarterback.

307
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Denver's got to get rid of Russell Wilson. They needed

308
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback Chicago. Chicago's roster seven to eight really special players.

309
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: Just get them the ball, quickly, cut down the sacks,

310
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: let them make their moves. J Mack with the News.

311
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: This is their line.

312
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 7: News, all right, Colin, from your Bears to a real contender,

313
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 7: the Indianapolis Colts. Yes, we're actually allowed to talk about them.

314
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 6: On the show.

315
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: Now.

316
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 6: You've been pushing for it for a while. Here we go.

317
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 7: The Colts dominate the Chargers. I had a terrible read

318
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 7: here on this game. Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor are

319
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 7: just unbelievable. Jonathan Taylor over one hundred total yards, three touchdowns, Colin,

320
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 7: this guy is the best back in the league right now.

321
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 6: And Shane Steichen said as much afterward.

322
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 10: I think he's the best. He's the best back in

323
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 10: the league right now, and there's no doubt. But I

324
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 10: think it starts with our guys up front. He's running hard,

325
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 10: he's running physical, he's got great vision. Yeah, he's just

326
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 10: he's balling out right now.

327
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: This is a really really good roster and it really

328
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: here's what it proves. If you get an offensive coach

329
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: and even a B level quarterback. I mean we talked.

330
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: I said this last year and I said it this year.

331
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: It's not a roster ish A year ago, everybody wanted

332
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard gone, and I'm like, he's hitting on his

333
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: draft picks. Taylor, Warren, Pittman, Pierce. This old line. Maybe

334
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: it's not Philadelphia or Detroit, but this old line is controlling.

335
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: You know, this is the number one offense in the

336
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: league right now.

337
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 7: Well, some of that is schedule related, Colin. I mean

338
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 7: they beat up on a lot of bad teams. I

339
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 7: looked on the schedule. They're fourteen point favorites against Tennessee

340
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 7: this week. I think they have the Savannah bananas up

341
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 7: after that, like they're playing a bunch of jokers.

342
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 6: Chargers are not jokers, they're just beat up.

343
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 7: And listen, Colts scored on six of their first seven

344
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 7: possessions yesterday, are the.

345
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: Most efficient offense. They're not uneven. They score early, they

346
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: score late, they score but before the half. This is

347
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: a and again this goes and proved everybody wanted Valord

348
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: gone and might take his guys. You can't win with

349
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Richards and completing forty seven percent of his throws.

350
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: You don't need a great quarterback. Daniel Jones is a

351
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: talented kid, kind of an Alex Smith feel where there

352
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: is a ceiling, but you can win a bunch of

353
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: Alex Smith made the playoffs several times. Alex Smith is smart,

354
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: he's good, he's accurate, he can move. This is a

355
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: really dangerous team.

356
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 7: So Colin, I'm sorry to bring up the Jets this

357
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 7: early in the show, but there is a parallel with

358
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 7: the Colts and the Jets.

359
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 6: Hear me out.

360
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 7: So the Colts drafted Anthony richardson high right, and he

361
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 7: looked like a bust, but they quickly pivoted off him.

362
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 7: Your move when it's sound working, pivot to Daniel Jones's right.

363
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 7: My Jets drafted Zach Wilson. They tried to make it happen,

364
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 7: it didn't. They pivoted to Aaron Rodgers colossal failure. Quickly,

365
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 7: let's reboot again to Justin Field's terrible failure. And now

366
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 7: they're zero to seven. The Colts and your guy Ballard.

367
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 7: I know you guys have a lengthy history.

368
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 6: He did with on a high pick, but he fixed

369
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: things quickly.

370
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because Ers, the late Jim Irsay wanted Carson

371
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: Wentz gone off a very good year because he lost

372
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: to the Jags, and so from that point forward, basically

373
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: Ballard was bailing water. He goes and gets Philip Rivers,

374
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: who was actually great in his last year. I get

375
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan because Philip want to retire, and then he

376
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: get Anthony Richardson. This league is so brutal, Lounge. I mean,

377
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: let's be honest. If the Niners don't find Brought Purty

378
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: in the last spot in the league, John Lynch could

379
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: be in trouble because they whiffed on Trey Lance, but

380
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: they found Brock Purty. So The truth is, no GM

381
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: or head coach looks. They all look clueless, regardless of

382
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: how good they are when the quarterback plays bat You

383
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: watch Brian Dable right now with the Giants, you can't

384
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: fire him. He's tied to Jackson Dart. You can't get

385
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: rid of Brian Dave all. So every GM, I mean

386
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: even the Giants GM. Now I'm watching him yesterday Againstanverord

387
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know that fifth round draft picks

388
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: actually pretty good.

389
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 7: Let's not go overboard. But on the Colts, the big

390
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 7: unlock to me has been Tyler Warren Colin. He is

391
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 7: in such a chess piece. I know, we love brock

392
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 7: Bowers last year. I know there's gonna be a bit

393
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 7: of a hot take.

394
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 6: I think Tyler.

395
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 7: Warren's more valuable. You can line him up in the backfield,

396
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 7: He's split him wide in the slot on the line,

397
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 7: and nobody can really guard this guy so far.

398
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: I watched him. I watched him make seventeen catches against

399
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: you USC at the Coliseum last year. I'm not sure

400
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: I've ever seen a college player. It's like, I don't

401
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: know how he transitions to the NFL. But that works

402
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: On Sundays, he's just a he's a pro bowler today.

403
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: He's a rookie pro bowler today.

404
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 7: Real quick, on your calendar, November twenty third, right, it's

405
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 7: the week before Thanksgiving.

406
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 6: Colts Chiefs And I'm not even joking. That's like a

407
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 6: real game. Colt Chiefs is gonna be good because Shane

408
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: Steichen right now is what he.

409
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 7: Did to Jesse Minter, who's one of the better defensive

410
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 7: minds in the league.

411
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: This Colts offensive line, guys, nobody's talking about it. It

412
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: is controlling. Yeah, I mean, didn't they played Denver earlier

413
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: this year and Denver struggled. Didn't they play Denver earlier

414
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: this year at home? Yeah, and Denver struggled to get

415
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones. That was when I was like, oh wow, wow,

416
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: this is a real thing.

417
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: The real team. All right, let's move on to the

418
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 6: New England Patriots. If you want to do a victory lap,

419
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 6: go for a big guy. You know your guy. Drake

420
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 6: May actually was my guy dating back to the draft.

421
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 7: Twenty one of twenty three. For Drake May, I mean,

422
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 7: he was phenomenal. That Titans kind of imploded. Cam Ward

423
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 7: had another disastrous fumble, But the story here is the Patriots.

424
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 7: We talked about it last week. This team will have

425
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 7: a shot at the number one seat. Okay, they are

426
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 7: starting to round in the form and Colin, I don't

427
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 7: know what to say about Drake May here. Jaden Daniels

428
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 7: was the toast of the town last last season, right

429
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 7: as a rookie. Drake May looks better than him right now.

430
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: I was talking to my buddy John Middlcoff last night

431
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: and he reminded me that there were stories that the

432
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Vikings tried to get Drake May. That's what they really wanted.

433
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: Everybody I talked to like Drake May, but like Jaden Daniels.

434
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: Like Jaden Daniels last year got much better, much faster

435
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: than we thought. I don't think anybody thought Drake May

436
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: would be this good this quickly.

437
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: He is.

438
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: And he had a really bad pick against the Steelers,

439
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: and that's going to happen. I'm telling you, man, his

440
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: last fifty throws, he is just he again. He is

441
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: a pro Bowl level quarterback. It sounds ridiculous, but we

442
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: watched Jaden Daniels last year and everybody kept waiting for

443
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: the surge to end.

444
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

445
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm watching every snap and every throw at Drake Maye.

446
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't have bad throws now, yeah, he doesn't slide

447
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: like bro get he went to the tent. I've gone

448
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: to the tent like five times this year, like learn

449
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: to slide and get down.

450
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 7: I'll just add one more thing I made fun of

451
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 7: the Colts schedule. Listen, the Patriots have beat up a

452
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 7: lot of bad defenses. Okay, Carolina stinks, Pittsburgh can't stop

453
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 7: a nosebleed. Buffalo's terrible defensively, Saints are not great defensive.

454
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 6: They are okay at home.

455
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 7: Tennessee was bad again this schedule. Now the Cleveland Browns

456
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 7: at home or lights out. I think this week the

457
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 7: Patriots could put her on them at home. I'm just

458
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 7: telling look at the schedule. Okay, Falcons outdoors we saw

459
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 7: last night. Falcons outdoors are not that great. This Patriots

460
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 7: team is dangerous.

461
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: This Patriots team beat Buffalo and Buffalo. It was not

462
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: a fluke. They are a better football team right now

463
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: than the Buffalo Bills. I don't think there's any question.

464
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: You and I watched that game. They were the better team.

465
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 6: They were.

466
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 9: Yeah.

467
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 7: Final story, Colin, let's go to a his story here.

468
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 7: That's the Miami Dolphins. The one game that we gave

469
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 7: out that was a stone cold lock locking on your browns.

470
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 7: Holy hell, they just destroyed Tua and the Dolphins thirty

471
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 7: one to six.

472
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 6: Now listen, I'm not gonna sit out here, rip into it.

473
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 6: He was bad.

474
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 7: I expected this, right, No, Tyreek Hill go out towards

475
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 7: against a feisty defense. I didn't expect three interceptions he was.

476
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: He also threw about a half dozen hospital balls. I've

477
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: never seen a quarterback less interested in taking snaps in

478
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: my life. I mean, I thought Tua just wanted to

479
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: get out of there.

480
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 7: Well, he was talking about leadership last week and guy's

481
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 7: not showing up, and now it came back. And anyway,

482
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 7: here's Mike McDaniel, the embattled head coach. I haven't checked

483
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 7: social media. Has he been fired this hour?

484
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 6: I don't know. Anyways, here's McDaniel on Tua and starting.

485
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 11: Guys need to be professionals. Guys need to step up

486
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 11: to the plate. And every person you know on our team,

487
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 11: if you're saying it's not me, it's you, you're just

488
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 11: not gonna win games. And our team, you know, we

489
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 11: we we say we want to, we will lose games.

490
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: Nothing works there GM head coach, quarterback. It's been fun.

491
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: I never got the extension to two. I thought it

492
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. So it's it's it's I just thought you did.

493
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: Yesterday was the tipping point. It looked like Tua did

494
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: not want to be on the field. He was throwing

495
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: the ball and ducking away from the punishment.

496
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 7: They traveled to Atlanta. Now that was where I believe

497
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 7: the Tua story was born. Remember Jalen Hurts bench in

498
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 7: the SEC title game. Tua comes on. Maybe he reinvigorates

499
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 7: his career.

500
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 6: I'll go with it. I don't think so, but this

501
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 6: could be it for Mike McDaniel. Here's my thing.

502
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 7: Can Tua rehab his career the way Daniel Jones did,

503
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 7: the way Baker did? The way I think they.

504
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: Can get rid of him if they eat, like like

505
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: Miami's going to get a top five pick, They're going

506
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback, and so they're going to try

507
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: to move to a maybe get a six round pick

508
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: if somebody will take a little bit of the contract.

509
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. As Sean Payton proved him dead.

510
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: You can win in this league. You can make the

511
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: playoffs with a dead cap hit. I mean they're still

512
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: planning paying for Russell Wilson in Denver. Look at their roster,

513
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: does it look like they can't afford guys. But I

514
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: think Denver's got a better GM and a better coach.

515
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: So Miami doesn't have the right GM. They don't have

516
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 1: the right coach, they don't have the right quarterback. But

517
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I would absolutely if I was a warm Weather team

518
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: and I was in transition, I'd give you a six

519
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: round pick for two and he a little bit of

520
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: his I think he's a professional quarterback. He needs an

521
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: O line, and Miami has never built him a satisfactory

522
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: O line, which is an indictment. If you have certain

523
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: guys in this league, like Bryce Young, you have to

524
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: have a good OL line. You don't with Josh Allen,

525
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: though they do with Lamar Jackson. You can Justin Herbert

526
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: can literally win games with a terrible O line. Ravage

527
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: my injuries. If you have Tua, your job as a

528
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: GM is to protect him, and they haven't ever.

529
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 7: So there is a team we haven't talked about them yet,

530
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 7: who had Carson Wentz just get I mean, he was

531
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 7: off full yesterday and you don't believe in JJ McCarthy.

532
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 7: I got a buddy floating me in name for the

533
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 7: Vikings and now you're talking to I mean.

534
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 6: O'Connell can do.

535
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: Anything in a northern division.

536
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 6: Well, in a dome. Everybody's got a dome.

537
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 7: Chicago's getting a dome soon, right, Packers are outdoors, but.

538
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 6: It's tough on No.

539
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: Thanks JM. Macklin News.

540
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the

541
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 2: Herd Line News.

542
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Colin Right, Colin Wrong, top of next hour. And you know,

543
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: yesterday's late window was crazy. I want to get into

544
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: this the exactly the precise reason you get Micah Parsons

545
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: was yesterday and I'll talk about that next for Green Bay,

546
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: like that was the game. That was the reason you

547
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: don't play particularly well. You don't lead until late and

548
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: it's like we need our Mariano Rivera, we need our closer.

549
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: That game exemplified and illustrated exactly why you get Micah Parsons.

550
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. The Cowboys, the goals, Colin Wright,

551
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: Colin Wrong.

552
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

553
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: and Noone Easter not a Empacific.

554
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: We were talking about this this morning. What what if

555
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: Marianna Revera, the great closer, had played for like a

556
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: small market team for years and years. You wouldn't really

557
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: know much about him. I mean, I'm sure a great

558
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: team would have eventually found him, but it You know, closers,

559
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: a lot of them don't make the Hall of Fame, right,

560
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: And but what made Mariano Rivera great was the opportunity

561
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: to be great. His teams had leads and the games

562
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: meant a lot. And that's why Green Bay that has

563
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl roster right now, needed to go get

564
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: a closer. And Micah Parson yesterday four tackles for losses,

565
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: three sacks, a couple in the fourth. He is their closer.

566
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: He's there, Mariano. It's much more valuable on a Super

567
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: Bowl roster closing games. When you have an excellent offensive

568
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: coach and a top ten twelve quarterback like Jordan Love.

569
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: You're going to lead ninety eighty percent of your games

570
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. How do you finish them off? Right,

571
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: offensive lines rolls banged up, maybe your offensive your run

572
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: games sputtering. You finish it off, sometimes not having the ball,

573
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: and you finish it off with the closer, the drive stopper,

574
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: and that's why I said when Dallas traded Mica, Dallas

575
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: isn't as good. Dallas needed flexibility and picks and more

576
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: good players. I mean, the Dallas can stop anybody. So Micah,

577
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: a lot of your skill is wasted. Your team trails

578
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: by ten points in the fourth quarter. Green Bay's the opposite.

579
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: So this was one of those trades that worked for

580
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: both teams. Green Bay needs a stopper now, Dallas over

581
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: the next year, they need more elite players and not

582
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: expensive ones. They're paying Seedee Lamb of fortune. They're paying

583
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: Daka Fortune, and they're probably gonna end up paying George

584
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: Pickings a lot of money. And they're paying their corners.

585
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: So Dallas has to hit on a couple of first

586
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: round picks and second round picks. Green Bay's already got that.

587
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: They're loaded at receiver and tight end. They've got their

588
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: star running back, they've got their quarterback, they had the roster.

589
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they were good despite giving up Kenny Clark

590
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: to Dallas, so that this worked for both teams. But

591
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: yesterday was exactly why you get Micah. You go on

592
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: the road, it's a tough matchup. I told you Friday,

593
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: I said Arizona. Green Bay's gonna win it, take the points.

594
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be close. Arizona loses close more often, it

595
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: seems like the last three years, than anybody in the league.

596
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: And Jacoby Brissette was comfortable early in the game. At

597
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: one point he completed what fourteen straat throws. But when

598
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: you needed, you led two to one entering the ninth,

599
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: here came Micah and that's why you got him. That's

600
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 1: why the trade was smart by green Bay. But I

601
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: understood it from Dallas's standpoint. I get it, they need

602
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: more good players like green Bay. Green Bay's got that.

603
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: They needed one game wrecker and Harris Jordan love Aff

604
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: the win man.

605
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 5: It's amazing, you know.

606
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 10: I think I can't state enough how fun it is

607
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 10: just to have him on this team, and how much

608
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 10: of a playmaker he is, you know, in big situations

609
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 10: like that. You know, having three sacks on the day

610
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 10: is big time.

611
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: So for years and years, everybody used to tell me

612
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: how great Dak Prescott was, and is there Hammer and

613
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: the Commanders yesterday? I'm thinking, you know, and I was

614
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: always like, he's got the best, oh line, he's got Zeke.

615
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, eh, I mean, he's a very very good

616
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: BB plus quarterback. I saw this morning he's ninth in

617
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: MVP voting or at ninth in MVP odds. That's insane.

618
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: He's got to be near to the top. I always

619
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: thought he was the classic sort of high floor, low

620
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: ceiling quarterback, right like Kirk Cousins with a star in

621
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: his helmet. He's gonna get you to ten wins. But

622
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he's ninth in his last four games,

623
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: he's thrown for over a thousand yards. He can only

624
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: win one way and everybody knows it. He's got fourteen

625
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns and no picks. He's just he is on a

626
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: he and George Pickens was a talented highlight guy. Now

627
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: he's a drama free, talented production guy. Do not understate

628
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: how Dak Prescott has soothed and lowered the temperature on

629
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: George Pickens. George Pickens was like eh, most of the

630
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: league had no interest. He's now maybe the number two receiver,

631
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: best number two receiver in the league. So the Cowboys

632
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: did what real cowboys do. Find a prize winner that

633
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 1: had been put out to pasture, and they did it,

634
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: and it's delivered, and give Brian Schottenheimer credit because the

635
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: run game Javonte Williams looks like the Denver Javonte Williams.

636
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: The offensive line is still in a rebuild. This is

637
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: not a great offensive line. But I'm watching Dak yesterday.

638
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: He's had He's taken so many snaps from High Scho

639
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: to Mississippi State to Dallas. He is so composed in

640
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: the pocket. He doesn't get forre Netik yesterday that pocket

641
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,959
Speaker 1: because the O line for Dallas right now is mid.

642
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's not Detroit, it's not Denver, it's not

643
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: the Colts. Maybe it's better than the Chargers and their injuries.

644
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: It's not a great old line right now, so he

645
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: faces real pressure all the time. And I mean, I

646
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: thought Jaden Daniels yesterday looks small compared to Dak. I

647
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: really did. I thought I thought Jaden looks small. The

648
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys pass blocking folks is rated thirtieth, so this is

649
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: closer to a Charger O line than it is a

650
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: Denver O line. And Dak was big and in control.

651
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: Here's Jerry Jones after as Dak Presscott the MVP of

652
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: the league right now.

653
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: Well he's mine and he should be Cowboy fans, and

654
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: he gives us a tremendous opportunity, and this team is

655
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 4: really following me. And team can play guests. They're the

656
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 4: league competition just like you saw today. Can play that

657
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 4: way and it can get better.

658
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: For the record, he is ninth in MVP odds, and

659
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: I constructed my own Mount pass more of the four

660
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: guys who should be leading in terms of odds, and

661
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: it should be Baker and Mahomes and Dak and Stafford.

662
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: That's my Mount passmore. You can have Mount rushmore. These

663
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: guys have separated, and there's a lot of good quarterbacks

664
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: in this league. I think what Herbert's doing, considering the

665
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: beating he's taken, is incredibly admirable. Again, I think what

666
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: bo Nix did in the fourth quarter. I think Josh

667
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: Allen once again feels like he's got to carry that offense.

668
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: Dak's having a year. I mean, when you watch that

669
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: game yesterday, did you not think the best quarterback on

670
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: the field was Dak and Jayden Daniels last year the

671
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: best rookie year for a quarterback in the game's history.

672
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: So and I you know, for a long time, I

673
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: was always like Dak as Kirk cousins with better mobility

674
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: and more famous. I think Dak's planned out of his mind,

675
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: out of his mind, and you know it's this is

676
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: what's great about this league. The New York Giants before

677
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart took over, I mean it literally felt like

678
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: a hapless organization. Get rid of day ball, Joe Shane,

679
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: owner doesn't know what he's doing. The personnel's horrible and

680
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: leading nineteen nothing In Denver, You're like, this is a

681
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: real team. It is amazing. For years and years we've

682
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: talked about this. I think quarterback is the highest paid

683
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: position in the sport. It's underpaid. Look at what just

684
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart, with almost no pro experience has done to

685
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: the Giants. You this morning feel different about the New

686
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: York Giants than you did a month ago. Same roster,

687
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: schedule has been tough. I mean Denver, Russell Wilson, dead

688
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: cap hell, felt like you were a decade from being

689
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: a contender. I mean, Denver hits on the quarterback. Suddenly

690
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: the dead cap money doesn't affect you. I mean it

691
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: is outside of Green Bay, who always gets the quarterback right,

692
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: everybody else struggles and misses. San Francisco Trey Lance miss

693
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy find a gem. Now they got Mac John

694
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Mac Jones. I mean, I watch Mac

695
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: and Brock together. It's Mac runs a little bit more

696
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: than you think. He does a little sneaky sometimes in

697
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: big crucial situations, Mac Jones runs. But I'm watching Dak

698
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: yesterday and I'm like, I mean, there's been so many

699
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: great players that have left him. The Zachs and the

700
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith and the Zeke and the des and the

701
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: old Line and Micah and they're blown out Washington yesterday,

702
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: really really impressive. Colin Wright, Colin Wrong. Next hour, Your

703
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: Niners played last night, Jay Mack, and I will say

704
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: Penix is a classic young quarterback. Depends on the series,

705
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: depends on the half, you know. I mean, like I

706
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: think with a lot of these quarterbacks, we just forget.

707
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes admitted the light went on year three. He

708
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: ran around for years. He had great coaching. So I

709
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: just I watched Panix or Bo Nicks or Jackson Dart

710
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: and my takeaway is this is what it looks like.

711
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: Almost my first semester in college, when I went on

712
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: academic probation, I didn't know how to study. I had

713
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: good tests and bad tests. I just I didn't really

714
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: know how to study because I didn't have to in

715
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: high school. I feel like that with all these young

716
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they have, c J. Stroud has had really bad

717
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: stretches and an incredible games he plays tonight in Seattle,

718
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: I think Houston's going to give Seattle trouble. So there

719
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: you go.

720
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting.

721
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 7: On my podcast, I compared basically Atlanta to like a

722
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 7: Miami Dolphins, specific settings, warm weather. For Miami, they're great.

723
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 7: They look like a track team. Guess what in a

724
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 7: dome colin Atlanta looks awesome. Yeah, you remember that game

725
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 7: against Minnesota. The edge rushers are flying around Jon Robins

726
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 7: like they're great indoors, you take them off that fast track.

727
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 7: Bjehon Robinson Monday night football looked like the best back

728
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 7: in the league. He had like forty yards last night

729
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 7: against the Niners defense missing everybody. So I just I

730
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 7: can't totally take Atlanta seriously because if they're outdoors, they're

731
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 7: not going to do much.

732
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: No. It's so we have two Monday night games. Tonight

733
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: Houston's at Seattle. My prediction very low scoring and very close,

734
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: possible upset. This is this is a matchup where Houston

735
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: matches up with Seattle. I think it's really really low

736
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: scoring twenty seventeen. And then we have Detroit off an

737
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: ugly win in a bad mood. They're a great home

738
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: team against Baker in the Bucks. I do like Detroit there.

739
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: That could be one of the games of the weekend.

740
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 7: I need Detroit to avoid a one in four. How

741
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 7: did the hurt hierarchy do be?

742
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: The Blazing five went three and one and we have

743
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: Detroit and the coverage n.

744
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 6: So we both need Detroit. Yes, Oh, Blazing five starting

745
00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 6: to cook with a little gas.

746
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: Huh.

747
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: We were four and one last week. We're three and one.

748
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: We had the Cowboy Commander over, we had Arizona in

749
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: the points, we had the Cleveland Browns, and that's the

750
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: last time I'm betting them for the season.
